II Na Lii 18

1 A I ke kolu o ka makahiki o Hosea ke keiki a Ela, ke alii o ka Iseraela, i noho alii ai o Hezekia, ke keiki a Ahaza, ke alii o ka Iuda.

Now it came to pass in the third year of Hoshea son of Elah king of Israel, [that] Hezekiah the son of Ahaz king of Judah began to reign.

2 He iwakaluakumamalima na makahiki ona i kona wa i lilo ai i alii, a he iwakaluakumamaiwa na makahiki ana i alii ai ma Ierusalema. A o Abi ka inoa o kona makuwahine, ke kaikamahine a Zekaria.

Twenty and five years old was he when he began to reign; and he reigned twenty and nine years in Jerusalem. His mother's name also [was] Abi, the daughter of Zachariah.

3 A hana pono aku la ia imua o Iehova, e like me na mea a pau a Davida kona kupuna i hana'i.

And he did [that which was] right in the sight of the LORD, according to all that David his father did.

4 A lawe aku la ia i na heiau, wawahi iho la i na kii, a kua aku la i na kii o Aseterota, a ulupa iho la i ka nahesa keleawe a Mose i hana'i: no ka mea, a hiki i keia wa, ua kuni na mamo a Iseraela i ka mea ala ia ia, a kapa aku la kela ia mea, Nehusetana.

He removed the high places, and broke the images, and cut down the groves, and broke in pieces the brazen serpent that Moses had made: for till those days the children of Israel burnt incense to it: and he called it Nehushtan.

5 Hilinai iho la ia maluna o Iehova ke Akua o ka Iseraela; a mahope ona, noho alii e like me ia o na'lii a pau o ka Iuda, aole hoi mamua ona.

He trusted in the LORD God of Israel; so that after him was none like him among all the kings of Judah, nor [any] that were before him.

6 No ka mea, hoopili aku oia ia Iehova, aole ia i haalele i ka hahai ana ia ia, aka, malama no ia i na kauoha a Iehova i kauoha mai ai ia Mose.

For he cleaved to the LORD, [and] departed not from following him, but kept his commandments, which the LORD commanded Moses.

7 A o Iehova pu kekahi me ia, a ua pomaikai no ia i na wahi a pau ana i hele aku ai: a kipi aku la ia i ke alii o Asuria, aole ia i malama aku ia ia.

And the LORD was with him; [and] he prospered whithersoever he went forth: and he rebelled against the king of Assyria, and served him not.

8 Luku aku la ia i ko Pilisetia, a hiki i Gaza, a me kolaila mau mokuna, mai ka puukaua o ka poe kiai, a hiki i ke kulanakauhale paa i ka papohaku.

He smote the Philistines, [even] to Gaza, and its borders, from the tower of the watchmen to the fortified city.

9 A i ka ha o ka makahiki o Hezekia, oia ka hiku o ka makahiki o Hosea, ke keiki a Ela, ke alii o ka Iseraela, hele ku e mai o Salemanesera, ke alii o Asuria, i Samaria, a hoopilikia ia ia.

And it came to pass in the fourth year of king Hezekiah, which [was] the seventh year of Hoshea son of Elah king of Israel, [that] Shalmaneser king of Assyria came up against Samaria, and besieged it.

10 A pau na makahiki ekolu, hoopio lakou ia ia, i ke ono o ka makahiki o Hezekia, oia ka iwa o ka makahiki o Hosea ke alii o ka Iseraela, ua hoopioia o Samaria.

And at the end of three years they took it: [even] in the sixth year of Hezekiah, that [is] the ninth year of Hoshea king of Israel, Samaria was taken.

11 A lawe pio aku la ke alii o Asuria i ka Iseraela, a hoonoho ia lakou ma Hala, a ma Habora ma ka muliwai o Gosana, a ma na kulanakauhale o ko Media.

And the king of Assyria carried away Israel to Assyria, and put them in Halah and in Habor [by] the river of Gozan, and in the cities of the Medes:

12 No ka mea, aole lakou i hoolohe i ka leo o Iehova ko lakou Akua, a ua hai ia lakou kana berita, a me na mea a pau a Mose, ke kauwa a Iehova, i kauoha mai ai, aole lakou i malama, aole hoi i hana.

Because they obeyed not the voice of the LORD their God, but transgressed his covenant, [and] all that Moses the servant of the LORD commanded, and would not hear [them], nor do [them].

13 A i ka umikumamaha o ka makahiki o Hezekia ke alii, hele ku e mai o Senakeriba, ke alii o Asuria, i na kulanakauhale a pau o ka Iuda, i paa i ka papohaku, a hoopio iho la ia lakou.

Now in the fourteenth year of king Hezekiah Sennacherib king of Assyria came up against all the fortified cities of Judah, and took them.

14 A hoouna aku la o Hezekia, ke alii o ka Iuda, i ke alii o Suria ma Lakisa, i aku la, Ua hana hewa au: e hoi oe mai o'u aku la; a o ka mea au e kau mai maluna o'u, na'u no ia e hali. A kau mai ke alii o Asuria maluna o Hezekia, ke alii o ka Iuda, i ekolu haneri talena kala, a i kanakolu talena gula.

And Hezekiah king of Judah sent to the king of Assyria to Lachish, saying, I have offended; return from me: that which thou puttest on me I will bear. And the king of Assyria appointed to Hezekiah king of Judah three hundred talents of silver and thirty talents of gold.

15 Haawi aku la o Hezekia i ke kala a pau i loaa ma ka hale o Iehova, a ma ka waihona kala o ka halo o ke alii.

And Hezekiah gave [him] all the silver that was found in the house of the LORD, and in the treasures of the king's house.

16 A ia manawa hemo aku la o Hezekia i ke gula ma na pani puka o ka luakini o Iehova, a ma na lapauwila a Hezekia ke alii o ka Iuda i kau ai, a haawi aku la oia ia mau mea i ke alii o Asuria.

At that time did Hezekiah cut off [the gold from] the doors of the temple of the LORD, and [from] the pillars which Hezekiah king of Judah had overlaid, and gave it to the king of Assyria.

17 A hoouna mai la ke alii o Asuria ia Taretana, a ia Rabesarisa, a me Rabesake mai Lakisa aku io Hezekia la ke alii, me ka poe kaua nui i Ierusalema. Pii ae la lakou, a hele mai i Ierusalema. A i ko lakou pii ana, hele mai lakou a ku ma ke kahawai o ka loko maluna ma ke ala o ke kihapai o ka mea holoi.

And the king of Assyria sent Tartan and Rab-saris and Rab-shakeh from Lachish to king Hezekiah with a great army against Jerusalem: and they went up, and came to Jerusalem: and when they had come up, they came and stood by the conduit of the upper pool, which [is] in the highway of the fuller's field.

18 A i ko lakou kahea ana'ku i ke alii, hele mai io lakou la o Eliakima, ke keiki a Hilekia, ka luna o ko ka hale, a o Sebena, ke kakauolelo, a me Ioa ke keiki a Asapa ke kakaumooolelo.

And when they had called to the king, there came out to them Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, who [was] over the household, and Shebna the scribe, and Joah the son of Asaph the recorder.

19 I mai la o Rabesake ia lakou, E olelo aku oukou ano ia Hezekia, Penei ka olelo a ke alii nui, ke alii o Asuria, Heaha keia hilinai au e hilinai nei?

And Rab-shakeh said to them, Speak ye now to Hezekiah, Thus saith the great king, the king of Assyria, What confidence [is] this in which thou trustest?

20 Ke i mai nei oe, (aka, he olelo a na lehelehe wale no, ) He ike ko'u, a he ikaika hoi no ke kaua. Ano, ea, maluna owai kau e hilinai nei, i kipi mai ai oe ia'u?

Thou sayest, but [they are but] vain words, I [have] counsel and strength for the war. Now in whom dost thou trust, that thou rebellest against me?

21 Ano hoi, ke hilinai nei oe maluna o ke kookoo o keia ohe pepe, maluna o Aigupita, ka mea a ke kanaka e hilinai, e komo no ia iloko o kona lima, a puka iho la: pela no o Parao i ka poe a pau e hilinai ana maluna ona.

Now behold, thou trustest upon the staff of this bruised reed, [even] upon Egypt, on which if a man leaneth, it will go into his hand, and pierce it: so [is] Pharaoh king of Egypt to all that trust on him.

22 A ina e olelo mai oukou ia'u, Ke hilinai nei makou maluna o Iehova ko makou Akua: aole anei oia ka mea, nona na heiau, a nona hoi na kuahu a Hezekia i lawe aku ai, a i olelo aku i ka Iuda, a me ko Ierusalema, Imua o keia kuahu i Ierusalema nei oukou e kulou ai?

But if ye say to me, We trust in the LORD our God: [is] not that he whose high places and whose altars Hezekiah hath taken away, and hath said to Judah and Jerusalem, Ye shall worship before this altar in Jerusalem?

23 Ano hoi, ke noi aku nei au ia oe, e haawi mai i nku panai na kuu haku, na ke alii o Asuria, a e haawi aku au ia oe i elua tausani lio, ina e hiki ia oe ke kau aku i na hoohololio maluna o lakou.

Now therefore, I pray thee, give pledges to my lord the king of Assyria, and I will deliver thee two thousand horses, if thou shalt be able on thy part to set riders upon them.

24 A pehea la oe e hoohuli ae i ka maka o kekahi luna o na kauwa uuku a kuu haku, a hilinai ae maluna o Aigupita no na halekaa, a no na hoohololio?

How then wilt thou turn away the face of one captain of the least of my master's servants, and put thy trust on Egypt for chariots and for horsemen?

25 Ano hoi, ua hele wale mai anei an, aole o Iehova kekahi, e ku e i keia wahi e luku aku ai? O Iehova ka i olelo mai ia'u, E pii ku e oe i keia wahi, a e luku aku ia.

Have I now come up without the LORD against this place to destroy it? The LORD said to me, Go up against this land, and destroy it.

26 Alaila i aku la o Eliakima ke keiki a Hilekia, a o Sebena a me Ioa, ia Rabesake, Ke noi aku nei au, e olelo mai oe i kau mau kauwa ma ka olelo a Suria, no ka mea, ua ike makou ia: a mai olelo mai oe ia makou ma ka Iudaio iloko o na pepeiao o na kanaka maluna o ka papohaku.

Then said Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, and Shebna and Joah, to Rab-shakeh, Speak, I pray thee, to thy servants in the Syrian language; for we understand [it]: and talk not with us in the Jews language in the ears of the people that [are] on the wall.

27 I mai la o Rabesake ia lakou, Ua hoouna mai anei kuu haku ia'u e olelo aku i keia mau olelo i kou haku, a ia oe wale no? aole anei i na kanaka kekahi e noho ana maluna o ka papohaku, e ai pu ai lakou me oukou i ko lakou lepo iho, a e inu hoi i ko lakou waimimi?

But Rab-shakeh said to them, Hath my master sent me to thy master, and to thee, to speak these words? [hath he] not [sent me] to the men who sit on the wall, that they may feed on their vilest excretions with you?

28 A ku ae la o Rabesake, a kahea aku la me ka leo nui, ma ka Iudaio, a olelo aku, i aku la, E hoolohe i ka olelo a ke alii nui, ke alii o Asuria.

Then Rab-shakeh stood and cried with a loud voice in the Jews language, and spoke, saying, Hear the word of the great king, the king of Assyria:

29 Ke olelo mai nei ke alii peneia, E malama o hoopunipuniia oukou e Hezekia: no ka mea, aole e hiki ia ia ke hoopakele ia oukou mai kona lima mai.

Thus saith the king, Let not Hezekiah deceive you: for he shall not be able to deliver you out of his hand:

30 A mai hoolana o Hezekia ia oukou maluna o Iehova, i ka i ana 'ku, He oiaio, na Iehova kakou e hoopakele, aole e hooliloia keia kulanakauhale iloko o ka lima o ke alii o Asuria.

Neither let Hezekiah make you trust in the LORD, saying, The LORD will surely deliver us, and this city shall not be delivered into the hand of the king of Assyria.

31 Mai hoolohe oukou ia Hezekia: no ka mea, ke olelo mai nei ke alii o Asuria peneia, E hana oukou i haawina na'u, a e hele mai oukou iwaho io'u nei, alaila e ai oukou, o kela kanaka keia kanaka i kona huawaina iho, a o kela kanaka keia kanaka i kona huafiku iho, a e inu oukou, o kela kanaka keia kanaka i ka wai o kana lua iho;

Hearken not to Hezekiah: for thus saith the king of Assyria, Make [an agreement] with me by a present, and come out to me, and [then] eat ye every man of his own vine, and every one of his fig-tree, and drink ye every one the waters of his cistern:

32 A hiki mai au, a e lawe aku ia oukou i ka aina e like me ko oukou aina, he aina palaoa, a me ka waina, he aina berena, a me na pawaina, he aina aila oliva, a me ka meli, i ola oukou, aole hoi e make: a mai hoolohe oukou ia Hezekia, no ka mea, ke hoowalewale mai nei ia ia oukou, i ka i ana mai, Na Iehova kakou e hoopakele.

Until I come and take you away to a land like your own land, a land of corn and wine, a land of bread and vineyards, a land of olive-oil and of honey, that ye may live, and not die: and hearken not to Hezekiah, when he persuadeth you, saying, The LORD will deliver us.

33 Ua hoopakele iki anei kekahi o na akua o na lahuikanaka e i kona aina mai ka lima mai o ke alii o Asuria?

Hath any of the gods of the nations delivered at all his land out of the hand of the king of Assyria?

34 Auhea na akua o Hamata, a o Arepada? auhea na akua o Separevaima, o Hena, a me Iva? Ua hoopakele anei lakou ia Samaria mai ko'u lima aku?

Where [are] the gods of Hamath, and of Arpad? where [are] the gods of Sepharvaim, Hena, and Ivah? have they delivered Samaria out of my hand?

35 Owai la ka mea o na akua a pau o na aina, nana i hoopakele ko lakou aina mai kuu lima aku, i hoopakele mai ai o Iehova ia Ierusalema mai kuu lima aku?

Who [are] they among all the gods of the countries, that have delivered their country out of my hand, that the LORD should deliver Jerusalem out of my hand?

36 Aka, noho malie iho la na kanaka aole lakou i pane leo iki aku ia ia: no ka mea, oia ke kauoha a ke alii, i ka i ana ae, Mai olelo aku ia ia.

But the people held their peace, and answered him not a word: for the king's commandment was, saying, Answer him not.

37 Alaila hele mai o Eliakima, ke keiki a Hilekia, ka luna o ko ka hale, a o Sebena ke kakanolelo, a o Ioa ke keiki a Asapa ke kakaumooolelo, ia Hezekia, me na aahu i haehaeia, a hai mai ia ia i na olelo a Rabesake.

Then came Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, who [was] over the household, and Shebna the scribe, and Joah the son of Asaph the recorder, to Hezekiah with [their] clothes rent, and told him the words of Rab-shakeh.
