2 Kings 19
1 And when king Ezechias heard these words, he rent his garments, and covered himself with sackcloth, and went into the house of the Lord.
Pea ʻi he fanongo ki ai ʻe Hesekaia, naʻa ne haehae hono kofu, pea kofuʻaki ʻae tauangaʻa, pea hū ia ki he fale ʻo Sihova.
2 And he sent Eliacim, who was over the house, and Sobna the scribe, and the ancients of the priests covered with sackcloths, to Isaias the prophet the son of Amos,
Pea naʻe fekau ʻe ia ʻa Iliakimi, ʻaia naʻe pule ki he fale, mo Sepina ko e tangata tohi, mo e kau mātuʻa ʻoe kau taulaʻeiki, kuo kofuʻaki ʻae tauangaʻa kia ʻIsaia ko e palōfita ko e foha ʻo ʻAmosi.
3 And they said to him: Thus saith Ezechias: This day is a day of tribulation, and of rebuke, and of blasphemy: the children are come to the birth, and the woman in travail hath not strength.
Pea naʻa nau pehē kiate ia, “ʻOku pehē ʻe Hesekaia, Ko e ʻaho ni ko e ʻaho ʻoe mamahi, mo e tautea, mo e kape: he kuo haʻu ʻae fānau ki he fāʻele, pea ʻoku ʻikai ha mālohi ke fāʻeleʻi.
4 It may be the Lord thy God will hear all the words of Rabsaces, whom the king of the Assyrians his master hath sent to reproach the living God, and to reprove with words, which the Lord thy God hath heard: and do thou offer prayer for the remnants that are found.
Heiʻilo ʻe lelei kia Sihova ko ho ʻOtua ke ongoʻi ʻae ngaahi lea kotoa pē ʻa Lapisake, ʻaia kuo fekau ʻe heʻene ʻeiki ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻAsilia ke manukiʻi ʻae ʻOtua moʻui: pea ke ne valoki ʻae ngaahi lea ʻaia kuo ongoʻi ʻe Sihova ko ho ʻOtua: ko ia ke ke hiki hake hoʻo lotu koeʻuhi ko e kakai ʻoku toe.”
5 So the servants of king Ezechias came to Isaias.
Ko ia naʻe haʻu ai ʻae kau tamaioʻeiki ʻa Hesekaia kia ʻIsaia.
6 And Isaias said to them: Thus shall you say to your master: Thus saith the Lord: Be not afraid for the words which thou hast heard, with which the servants of the king of the Assyrians have blasphemed me.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ʻIsaia kiate kinautolu, “Te mou tala pehē ki hoʻomou ʻeiki, ʻoku pehē mai ʻa Sihova, ʻOua naʻa ke manavahē ki he ngaahi lea kuo ke ongoʻi, ʻaia kuo kape ʻaki kiate au ʻe he kau tamaioʻeiki ʻae tuʻi ʻo ʻAsilia.
7 Behold I will send a spirit upon him, and he shall hear a message, and shall return into his own country, and I will make him fall by the sword in his own country.
Vakai, Te u tuku atu kiate ia ha tuʻoni matangi, pea te ne ongoʻi ha ongoongo, pea ʻe toe ʻalu ia ki hono fonua; pea te u pule ke tō ia ʻi he heletā ʻi hono fonua ʻoʻona.”
8 And Rabsaces returned, and found the king of the Assyrians besieging Lobna: for he had heard that he was departed from Lachis.
Ko ia, naʻe toe ʻalu ʻa Lapisake, ʻo ne hoko ki he tuʻi ʻo ʻAsilia lolotonga ʻa ʻene tauʻi ʻa Lipina: he naʻe fanongo ʻe ia kuo ʻalu ia mei Lakisi.
9 And when he heard of Theraca king of Ethiopia: Behold, he is come out to fight with thee: and was going against him, he sent messengers to Ezechias, saying:
Pea ʻi heʻene ongoʻi ʻae ongoongo kia Tilaka ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻItiopea, Vakai, kuo haʻu kituaʻā ia ke tauʻi koe; naʻe toe fekau ʻe ia ʻene kau talafekau kia Hesekaia, ʻo pehē,
10 Thus shall you say to Ezechias king of Juda: Let not thy God deceive thee, in whom thou trustest: and do not say: Jerusalem shall not be delivered into the hands of the king of the Assyrians.
“Te mou lea kia Hesekaia ko e tuʻi ʻo Siuta, ʻo pehē, ʻOua naʻa tuku ke kākaaʻi koe ʻe ho ʻOtua ʻaia ʻoku ke falala ki ai, ʻo pehē, ‘ʻE ʻikai tukuange ʻa Selūsalema ki he nima ʻoe tuʻi ʻo ʻAsilia.’
11 Behold thou hast heard what the kings of the Assyrians have done to all countries, how they have laid them waste: and canst thou alone be delivered?
Vakai, kuo ke fanongo ki he meʻa kuo fai ʻe he ngaahi tuʻi ʻo ʻAsilia ki he fonua kotoa pē, ʻi he fakaʻauha ʻaupito ʻakinautolu: pea te ke hao koe?
12 Have the gods of the nations delivered any of them, whom my fathers have destroyed, to wit, Gozan, and Haran, and Reseph, and the children of Eden that were in Thelassar?
He naʻe fakamoʻui ʻe he ngaahi ʻotua ʻoe ngaahi puleʻanga ʻakinautolu naʻe fakaʻauha ʻe heʻeku ngaahi tamai: ko Kosani, mo Halani, mo Lesefi, mo e ngaahi fānau ʻa Iteni ʻaia naʻe ʻi Tilasa?
13 Where is the king of Emath, and the king of Arphad, and the king of the city of Sepharvaim, of Ana and of Ava?
Kofaʻā ia ʻae tuʻi ʻo Hemati, mo e tuʻi ʻo ʻApati, mo e tuʻi ʻoe kolo ko Sifaveimi, ʻo Hena, mo Iva?”
14 And when Ezechias had received the letter of the hand of the messengers, and had read it, he went up to the house of the Lord, and spread it before the Lord,
Pea naʻe maʻu ʻe Hesekaia ʻae tohi ʻi he nima ʻae kau fekau ʻo ne lau ia: pea naʻe ʻalu hake ʻa Hesekaia ki he fale ʻo Sihova, pea naʻa ne folahi ia ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova.
15 And he prayed in his sight, saying: O Lord God of Israel, who sitteth upon the cherubims, thou alone art the God of all the kings of the earth: thou madest heaven and earth:
Pea naʻe lotu ʻa Hesekaia ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova, ʻo pehē, “ʻE Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻoku ke ʻafio ʻi he vahaʻa ʻoe ongo selupi, ko koe ko e ʻOtua, ʻio, ʻa koe pe, ʻi he ngaahi puleʻanga ʻo māmani; kuo ke fakatupu ʻe koe ʻae langi mo māmani.
16 Incline thy ear, and hear: open, O Lord, thy eyes, and see: and hear all the words of Sennacherib, who hath sent to upbraid unto us the living God.
ʻE Sihova, punou hifo ho fofonga, pea ke fakafanongo: ʻe Sihova fakaʻā ho fofonga, pea ke ʻafioʻi: pea ongoʻi ʻae ngaahi lea ʻa Senakalipe, ʻaia kuo ne fekau mai ia ke lea kovi ai ki he ʻOtua moʻui.
17 Of a truth, O Lord, the kings of the Assyrians have destroyed nations, and the lands of them all.
Ko e moʻoni, ʻe Sihova, kuo fakaʻauha ʻe he ngaahi tuʻi ʻo ʻAsilia ʻae ngaahi puleʻanga mo honau ngaahi fonua.
18 And they have cast their gods into the fire: for they were not Rods, but the works of men’s hands of wood and stone, and they destroyed them.
Pea kuo nau lī honau ngaahi ʻotua ki he afi: he naʻe ʻikai ko e ʻotua ʻakinautolu, ka ko e ngāue ʻae nima ʻoe tangata, ko e ʻakau mo e maka: ko ia kuo nau fakaʻauha ai ʻakinautolu.
19 Now therefore, O Lord our God, save us from his hand, that all the kingdoms of the earth may know, that thou art the Lord the only God.
Pea ko eni, ʻE Sihova ko homau ʻOtua, ʻOku ou kole kiate koe, ke ke fakamoʻui ʻakimautolu mei hono nima, koeʻuhi ke ʻilo ʻe he puleʻanga kotoa pē ʻo māmani, ko koe ko Sihova ko e ʻOtua, ʻio ko koe pe.”
20 And Isaias the son of Amos sent to Ezechias, saying: Thus saith the Lord the God of Israel: I have heard the prayer thou hast made to me concerning Sennacherib king of the Assyrians.
Pea naʻe toki fekau ai ʻe ʻIsaia ko e foha ʻo ʻAmosi kia Hesekaia ʻo pehē, “ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli, ‘Ko ia kuo ke lotu ai kiate au kia Senakalipe ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻAsilia kuo u ongoʻi.
21 This is the word, that the Lord hath spoken of him: The virgin the daughter of Sion hath despised thee, and laughed thee to scorn: the daughter of Jerusalem hath wagged her head behind thy back.
Pea ko e lea eni ʻaia kuo folofolaʻaki ʻe Sihova kiate ia: Ko e tāupoʻou ko e taʻahine ʻa Saione ʻoku ne manukiʻi koe, pea katakata lumaʻi koe; kuo kalokalo ʻe he taʻahine ʻo Selūsalema ʻa hono ʻulu kiate koe.
22 Whom hast thou reproached, and whom hast thou blasphemed? against whom hast thou exalted thy voice, and lifted up thy eyes on high? against the holy one of Israel.
Ko hai ia naʻa ke manukiʻi mo kapekape ki ai? Pea naʻa ke hiki ho leʻo pea tangaki hake ho mata ki ʻolunga kia hai? ʻIo, ki he [Toko Taha ]Māʻoniʻoni ʻo ʻIsileli.
23 By the hand of thy servants thou hast reproached the Lord, and hast said: With the multitude of my chariots I have gone up to the height of the mountains, to the top of Libanus, and have cut down its tall cedars, and its choice fir trees. And I have entered into the furthest parts thereof, and the forest of its Carmel.
ʻI hoʻo kau talafekau kuo ke manukiʻi ʻa Sihova, mo ke pehē, Kuo u hoko ʻaki ʻeku ngaahi saliote ki he māʻolunga ʻo hono ngaahi moʻunga, ki he ngaahi tafaʻaki ʻo Lepanoni, pea te u tā ke hinga ʻae ngaahi sita lōloa ʻo ia, mo e ngaahi ʻakau matamatalelei ʻo ia ko e paini: pea te u hū ki he ngaahi fale nofoʻanga ʻo ia, pea ki he vaoʻakau ʻo hono Kameli.
24 I have cut down, and I have drunk strange waters, and have dried up with the soles of my feet all the shut up waters.
Kuo u keli peau inu ʻae ngaahi vai kehe, pea kuo u fakamomoa ʻaki hoku ʻaofi vaʻe ʻae ngaahi vaitafe ʻoe ngaahi potu naʻe kapui ʻaki ʻae tau.
25 Hast thou not heard what I have done from the beginning? from the days of old I have formed it, and now I have brought it to effect: that fenced cities of fighting men should be turned to heaps of ruin:
Naʻe ʻikai te ke fanongo talu mei muʻa, Ko au naʻaku fai ia, pea talu mei muʻa naʻaku fakafuofua ia? Pea ko eni kuo u fakahoko ia, koeʻuhi ke ke fakalala ʻae ngaahi kolotau pea ngaohi ia ko e ngaahi potu ngaongao pe.
26 And the inhabitants of them, were weak of hand, they trembled and were confounded, they became like the grass of the field, and the green herb on the tops of houses, which withered before it came to maturity.
Ko ia naʻe siʻi ai ʻae mālohi ʻo honau kakai, naʻa nau lilika ai mo puputuʻu; naʻa nau tatau mo e mohuku ʻoe ngoue, pea hangē ko e ʻakau mata, ʻo hangē ko e mohuku ʻi he ngaahi tuʻa fale, pea hangē ko e uite kuo mahunu ʻi he teʻeki tupu hake.
27 Thy dwelling and thy going out, and thy coming in, and thy way I knew before, and thy rage against me.
Ka ʻoku ou ʻilo ho nofoʻanga, mo ho fehufaki ki loto mo tuʻa, mo hoʻo lili kiate au.
28 Thou hast been mad against me, and thy pride hath come up to my ears: therefore I will put a ring in thy nose, and a bit between thy lips, and I will turn thee back by the way, by which thou camest.
Ko e meʻa ʻi heʻene hoko hake ʻa hoʻo lili mo hoʻo maveuveu ki hoku telinga, ko ia te u ʻai ai ʻa ʻeku mataʻu ki ho ihu, mo ʻeku meʻa taʻofi ki ho loungutu, pea te u fakatafoki koe ʻi he hala ʻaia naʻa ke haʻu ai.”
29 And to thee, O Ezechias, this shall be a sign: Eat this year what thou shalt find: and in the second year, such things as spring of themselves: but in the third year sow and reap: plant vineyards, and eat the fruit of them.
Pea ko e fakaʻilonga eni kiate koe, “Te mou kai ʻi he taʻu ni ʻae ngaahi meʻa ʻe tupu vao pe, pea ʻi hono ua ʻoe taʻu ʻae meʻa ʻoku tupu mei ai; pea ʻi hono tolu ʻoe taʻu, mou tūtuuʻi, pea tuʻusi, pea tō ngoue vaine, pea kai hono ngaahi fua ʻo ia.
30 And whatsoever shall be left of the house of Juda, shall take root downward, and bear fruit upward.
Pea ko e toenga kakai kuo hao ʻi he fale ʻo Siuta ʻe toe aka ia ʻo ʻalu hifo, pea tupu ai ʻae fua ʻi ʻolunga.
31 For out of Jerusalem shall go forth a remnant, and that which shall be saved out of mount Sion: the zeal of the Lord of hosts shall do this.
Koeʻuhi ʻe ʻalu atu mei Selūsalema ha toenga kakai, mo kinautolu ʻe hao mei he moʻunga ko Saione: ko e feinga ʻa Sihova ʻoe ngaahi tokolahi te ne feia ʻae meʻa ni.
32 Wherefore thus saith the Lord concerning the king of the Assyrians: He shall not come into this city, nor shoot an arrow into it, nor come before it with shield, nor cast a trench about it.
Ko ia, ʻoku folofola pehē ʻa Sihova ki he tuʻi ʻo ʻAsilia, ‘ʻE ʻikai hū ia ki he kolo ni, pe fana ki ai ha ngahau ʻe taha, pe hoko mai ki ai ʻaki ʻae pā, pe te ne tanu puke ki ai.
33 By the way that he came, he shall return: and into this city he shall not come, saith the Lord.
ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova, ʻi he hala ko ia naʻa ne haʻu ai, ko ia ia te ne toe ʻalu ai, pea ʻe ʻikai hū ia ki he kolo ni.
34 And I will protect this city, and will save it for my own sake, and for David my servant’s sake.
He te u maluʻi ʻae kolo ni, ke fakamoʻui ia, koeʻuhi ko au, pea koeʻuhi ko ʻeku tamaioʻeiki ko Tevita.’”
35 And it came to pass that night, that an angel of the Lord came, and slew in the camp of the Assyrians a hundred and eighty-five thousand. And when he arose early in the morning, he saw all the bodies of the dead.
Pea ʻi he hokosia ʻae pō ko ia, naʻe ʻalu atu ʻae ʻāngelo ʻa Sihova, ʻo ne taaʻi ʻi he ʻapitanga ʻae kakai ʻAsilia, ko e tokotaha kilu mo e toko valu mano, mo e toko nima afe: pea ʻi heʻenau tuʻu hengihengi hake ʻi he ʻapongipongi, ʻiloange ko e kakai mate ʻakinautolu kotoa pē.
36 And Sennacherib king of the Assyrians departing went away, and he returned and abode in Ninive.
Ko ia naʻe ʻalu ai ʻa Senakalipe, pea ʻalu ia ʻo liliu ʻo nofo ʻi Ninive.
37 And as he was worshipping in the temple of Nesroch his god, Adramelech and Sarasar his sons slew him with the sword, and they fled into the land of the Armenians, and Asarhaddon his son reigned in his stead.
Pea ʻi heʻene lotu ʻi he fale ʻo Nisiloki ko hono ʻotua, naʻe taaʻi ia ʻe ʻAtalameleki mo Salesa, ko hono ongo foha, ʻaki ʻae heletā: pea naʻa na hola ki he fonua ko ʻAminia. Pea naʻe fetongi ia ʻi he pule ʻe Esa-Hatoni ko hono foha.
