Isaiah 36

1 Nowe in the fourteenth yeere of King Hezekiah, Saneherib King of Asshur came vp against al the strong cities of Iudah, and tooke them.

Naʻe hoko ʻo pehē ʻi hono taʻu ʻe hongofulu ma fā ʻoe pule ʻa Hesekaia, naʻe haʻu ʻa Senakalipe ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻAsilia ki he ngaahi kolo kotoa pē ʻo Siuta naʻe teu ki he tau, pea ne lavaʻi ʻakinautolu.

2 And the King of Asshur sent Rabshakeh from Lachish toward Ierusalem vnto King Hezekiah, with a great hoste, and he stood by ye conduite of the vpper poole in the path of the fullers fielde.

Pea naʻe fekau atu ʻe he tuʻi ʻo ʻAsilia ʻa Lapisake mei Lakisi ki Selūsalema kia Hesekaia mo e kongakau tokolahi mo ia. Pea naʻa ne tuʻu ʻi he veʻevai taupotu ki ʻolunga ʻi he hala lahi ʻoe ngoue ʻae tangata fakamaʻa kofu.

3 Then came foorth vnto him Eliakim the sonne of Hilkiah the steward of the house, and Shebna the chanceler, and Ioah the sonne of Asaph the recorder.

Pea naʻe toki haʻu kiate ia ʻa Iliakimi, ko e foha ʻo Hilikia, ʻaia naʻe pule ʻi he fale, pea mo Sepina ko e tangata tohi, mo Soa, ko e foha ʻo ʻAsafi, ko e matāpule tohi.

4 And Rabshakeh sayde vnto them, Tell you Hezekiah, I pray you, Thus sayth the great King, the King of Asshur, What confidence is this, wherein thou trustest?

Pea pehē ʻe Lapisake kiate kinautolu, Mou pehē kia Hesekaia, “ʻOku pehē ʻe he tuʻi lahi, ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻAsilia, Ko e hā koā ʻae falalaʻanga ni ʻoku ke falala ki ai?”

5 I say, Surely I haue eloquence, but counsell and strength are for the warre: on whom then doest thou trust, that thou rebellest against me?

Kuo ke pehē ʻe koe, (ka ko e lea taʻeʻaonga, ) “ʻOku ʻiate au ʻae fakakaukau mo e mālohi ki he tau: ka ʻoku ke falala kia hai, ke ke angatuʻu ai kiate au?

6 Loe, thou trustest in this broken staffe of reede on Egypt, whereupon if a man leane, it will goe into his hand, and pearce it: so is Pharaoh King of Egypt, vnto all that trust in him.

Vakai, ʻoku ke faʻaki ki he tokoni ʻoe kaho mafesi ni, ko ʻIsipite; ʻaia ʻi he faʻaki ki ai ha tangata, ʻe ʻasi ia ki hono nima, pea ʻe lavea ia: ʻoku pehē ʻa Felo ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻIsipite kiate kinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku falala kiate ia.”

7 But if thou say to me, We trust in the Lord our God. Is not that he, whose hie places and whose altars Hezekiah tooke downe, and said to Iudah and to Ierusalem, Ye shall worship before this altar?

Ka ʻi hoʻo pehē mai kiate au, “ʻOku mau falala kia Sihova ko homau ʻOtua: ʻikai kuo liʻaki ʻe Hesekaia hono ngaahi potu māʻolunga pea mo hono ngaahi feilaulauʻanga pea ne pehē ki Siuta, mo Selūsalema, ‘Te mou lotu ʻi he ʻao ʻoe feilaulauʻanga ni?’

8 Nowe therefore giue hostages to my lorde the King of Asshur, and I wil giue thee two thousand horses, if thou be able on thy part to set riders vpon them.

Ko ia ʻoku ou fekau kiate ko e ke ke ʻomi ʻae ngaahi meʻa fakamoʻoni, ki hoku ʻeiki ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻAsilia, pea te u foaki atu ʻae hoosi ʻe ua afe, ʻo kapau te ke faʻa fakaheka ʻe koe ha kau tangata ki ai.

9 For howe canst thou despise any captaine of the least of my lordes seruants? and put thy trust on Egypt for charets and for horsemen?

Pea ka kuo pehē, ʻe fēfē hoʻo fakafoki ʻae mata ʻo ha ʻeikitau ʻoku siʻi hifo ʻi he ngaahi tamaioʻeiki ʻo ʻeku ʻeiki, pea falala ki ʻIsipite ke maʻu mei ai ʻae ngaahi saliote mo e kau tangata heka hoosi?

10 And am I now come vp without the Lord to this land to destroy it? The Lord sayd vnto me, Goe vp against this land and destroy it.

Pea kuo u haʻu eni ki he fonua ni ke tauʻi pea fakaʻauha ia ka e taʻekau ki ai ʻa Sihova? Naʻe pehē mai ʻe Sihova kiate au, ‘ʻAlu hake ki he fonua ni, pea fakaʻauha ia.’”

11 Then sayd Eliakim and Shebna and Ioah vnto Rabshakeh, Speake, I pray thee, to thy seruants in the Aramites language, (for we vnderstand it) and talke not with vs in the Iewes tongue, in the audience of the people that are on the wall.

Pea naʻe toki pehē ʻe Iliakimi mo Sepina pea mo Soa kia Lapisake, “ʻOku mau kole kiate koe, ke ke lea ki hoʻo kau tamaioʻeiki ʻi he lea fakaSilia; he ʻoku mau ʻilo ia: kaeʻoua ʻe lea kiate kimautolu ʻi he lea fakaSiu, ʻi he telinga ʻoe kakai ʻoku tuʻu ʻi he ʻā.

12 Then said Rabshakeh, Hath my master sent me to thy master, and to thee to speake these wordes, and not to the men that sit on the wall? that they may eate their owne doung, and drinke their owne pisse with you?

Ka naʻe pehē ʻe Lapisake, “Kuo fekau au ʻe heʻeku ʻeiki ki ho ʻeiki pea mo koe ke lea ʻaki ʻae ngaahi lea ni? ʻIkai kuo ne fekau au ki he kau tangata ʻoku nofo ʻi he ʻā, ke nau kai honau kinohaʻa, pea inu honau tuʻutata, fakataha mo kimoutolu?

13 So Rabshakeh stood, and cryed with a loude voyce in the Iewes language, and sayd, Heare the wordes of the great King, of the King of Asshur.

Pea naʻe toki tuʻu hake ʻa Lapisake, pea kalanga ia ʻi he leʻo lahi ʻi he lea fakaSiu, ʻo pehē, Mou fanongo ki he lea ʻae tuʻi lahi, ʻae tuʻi lahi ʻo ʻAsilia.

14 Thus saith the King, Let not Hezekiah deceiue you: for he shall not be able to deliuer you.

‌ʻOku pehē ʻe he tuʻi, ʻoua naʻa tuku ʻa Hesekaia ke kākaaʻi ʻakimoutolu; koeʻuhi ʻe ʻikai te ne faʻa fakamoʻui ʻakimoutolu.

15 Neither let Hezekiah make you to trust in the Lord, saying, The Lord will surely deliuer vs: this citie shall not be giuen ouer into the hand of the King of Asshur.

Pea ʻoua naʻa tuku ʻa Hesekaia ke ne fakalotoʻi ʻakimoutolu ke mou falala kia Sihova, ʻo pehē, ‘Ko e moʻoni ʻe fakamoʻui ʻakitautolu ʻe Sihova:’ ʻe ʻikai tukuange ʻae kolo ni ki he nima ʻoe tuʻi ʻo ʻAsilia.

16 Hearken not to Hezekiah: for thus sayth the King of Asshur, Make appointment with me, and come out to me, that euery man may eate of his owne vine, and euery man of his owne fig tree, and drinke euery man the water of his owne well,

‌ʻOua naʻa fanongo kia Hesekaia: he ʻoku pehē ʻe he tuʻi ʻo ʻAsilia, Mou fakalelei mo au ʻaki ha foaki, pea haʻu kituaʻā kiate au: pea kai taki taha ʻi heʻene vaine, pea taki taha ʻi heʻene ʻakau ko e fiki, pea taki taha inu ʻae vai ʻo ʻene puha vai.

17 Till I come and bring you to a land like your owne land, euen a land of wheate, and wine, a land of bread and vineyardes,

Kae ʻoua ke u haʻu ʻo ʻave ʻakimoutolu ki ha fonua ʻoku hangē ko homou fonua, ko e fonua ʻoe uite mo e uaine, ko e fonua ʻoe mā mo e ngoue vaine.

18 Least Hezekiah deceiue you, saying, The Lord wil deliuer vs. Hath any of the gods of the nations deliuered his land out of the hand of the King of Asshur?

Vakai telia naʻa fakalotoʻi ʻakimoutolu ʻe Hesekaia, ʻo pehē, ‘ʻE fakamoʻui ʻakitautolu ʻe Sihova.’ ʻOku ai ha ʻotua ʻoe ngaahi puleʻanga kuo ne fakamoʻui hono fonua mei he nima ʻoe tuʻi ʻo ʻAsilia?

19 Where is the god of Hamath, and of Arpad? where is the god of Sepharuaim? or howe haue they deliuered Samaria out of mine hand?

‌ʻOku ʻi fē ʻae ngaahi ʻotua ʻo Hamati mo ʻAapati? ʻOku ʻi fē ʻae ngaahi ʻotua ʻo Sifaveimi? Pea kuo nau fakamoʻui ʻa Samēlia mei hoku nima?

20 Who is hee among all the gods of these lands, that hath deliuered their countrey out of mine hand, that the Lord should deliuer Ierusalem out of mine hand?

Ko hai ʻi he ngaahi ʻotua kotoa pē ʻoe ngaahi fonua ni, kuo fakamoʻui honau fonua mei hoku nima, koeʻuhi ke fakamoʻui ʻe Sihova ʻa Selūsalema mei hoku nima?”

21 Then they kept silence, and answered him not a worde: for the Kings commandement was, saying, Answere him not.

Ka naʻa nau fakalongo pe, pea ʻikai ha lea siʻi kiate ia: he naʻe pehē ʻae fekau ʻae tuʻi, “ʻOua naʻa talia ia.”

22 Then came Eliakim the sonne of Hilkiah the steward of the house, and Shebna the chanceller, and Ioah the sonne of Asaph the recorder, vnto Hezekiah with rent clothes, and tolde him the wordes of Rabshakeh.

Pea naʻe toki haʻu kia Hesekaia ʻa Iliakimi, ko e foha ʻo Hilikia, ʻaia naʻe pule ʻi he fale, mo Sepina ko e tangata tohi, mo Soa, ko e foha ʻo ʻAsafi, ko e matāpule tohi, kuo mahae honau kofu, pea naʻe tala kiate ia ʻae ngaahi lea ʻa Lapisake.
