Isaiah 37
1 And when the King Hezekiah heard it, he rent his clothes, and put on sackcloth and came into the House of the Lord.
Na ka rongo a Kingi Hetekia, haea ana e ia ona kakahu, kei te hipoki i a ia ki te kakahu taratara, a haere ana ki te whare o Ihowa.
2 And he sent Eliakim the stewarde of the house, aud Shebna the chanceller, with the Elders of the Priestes, clothed in sackcloth vnto Isaiah the Prophet, the sonne of Amoz.
I tonoa ano e ia a Eriakimi rangatira o te whare, a Hepena kaituhituhi, me nga kaumatua o nga tohunga, he mea hipoki ki te kakahu taratara, ki a Ihaia poropiti, tama a Amoho;
3 And they sayd vnto him, Thus saith Hezekiah, This day is a day of tribulation and of rebuke and blasphemie: for the children are come to the birth, and there is no strength to bring foorth.
Hei mea ki a ia, Ko te kupu tenei a Hetekia, Ko tenei ra, he ra no te he, no te whakatuma, no te whakama; kua taea hoki te whanautanga tamariki, heoi kahore he kaha e whanau ai.
4 If so be the Lord thy God hath heard the wordes of Rabshakeh, whom the King of Asshur his master hath sent to raile on the liuing God, and to reproch him with wordes which the Lord thy God hath heard, then lift thou vp thy prayer for the remnant that are left.
Tera pea a Ihowa, tou Atua, ka rongo ki nga kupu a Rapahake i tonoa mai nei e tona ariki, e te kingi o Ahiria, hei whakorekore ki te Atua ora; a ka riri ki nga kupu i rongo ai a Ihowa, tou Atua. Na kia ara tau inoi mo nga toenga e noho nei.
5 So the seruants of the King Hezekiah came to Isaiah.
Na ko te haerenga atu o nga tangata a Kingi Hetekia ki a Ihaia,
6 And Isaiah sayde vnto them, Thus say vnto your master, Thus saith the Lord, Be not afrayd of the wordes that thou hast heard, wherewith the seruants of the king of Asshur haue blasphemed me.
Ka mea a Ihaia ki a ratou, Ki atu ki to koutou ariki, Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa, Kaua e wehi i nga kupu i rongo ra koe, ki era i kohukohu mai ra nga tangata a te kingi o Ahiria ki ahau.
7 Beholde, I wil send a blast vpon him, and he shall heare a noyse, and returne to his owne land, and I will cause him to fall by the sword in his owne land.
Na ka tonoa e ahau he wairua ki a ia, a ka rongo ia i tetahi rongo, ka hoki ki tona whenua; ka meinga ano hoki ia e ahau kia hinga i te hoari i tona whenua.
8 So Rabshakeh returned, and found the King of Asshur fighting against Libnah: for he had heard that he was departed from Lachish.
Na hoki ana a Rapahake, a rokohanga atu e ia e whawhai ana te kingi o Ahiria ki Ripina: i rongo hoki ia kua hapainga mai e ia i Rakihi.
9 He heard also men say of Tirhakah, King of Ethiopia, Beholde, he is come out to fight against thee: and when he heard it, he sent other messengers to Hezekiah, saying,
A ka rongo ia ki a Tirihaka kingi o Etiopia, ki te korero, Kei te haere mai ki te whawhai ki a koe; na ka rongo ia, ka tono tangata ano ki a Hetekia, ka mea.
10 Thus shall ye speake to Hezekiah King of Iudah, saying, Let not thy God deceiue thee, in whom thou trustest, saying, Ierusalem shall not be giuen into the hand of the King of Asshur.
Ki atu ki a Hetekia kingi o Hura, mea atu, Kei tinihangatia koe e tou Atua, e tau e okioki na koe, i a ia e ki na, E kore a Hiruharama e hoatu ki te ringa o te kingi o Ahiria.
11 Beholde, thou hast heard what the Kings of Asshur haue done to all lands in destroying them, and shalt thou be deliuered?
Nana, kua rongo na koa ki ta nga kingi o Ahiria i mea ai ki nga whenua katoa, ki ta ratou hunanga rawatanga i a ratou: a e ora ranei koe?
12 Haue the gods of the nations deliuered them, which my fathers haue destroyed? as Gozan, and Haran, and Rezeph, and the children of Eden, which were at Telassar?
I whakaora ranei nga atua o nga tauiwi i nga wahi i huna e oku matua; i Kotana, i Harana, i Retepe, i nga tama a Erene, i era i Terahara?
13 Where is the King of Hamath, and the King of Arpad, and the King of the citie of Sepharuaim, Hena and Iuah?
Kei hea te kingi o Hamata, te kingi o Arapara, te kingi o te pa o Heparawaima, o Hena, o Iwa?
14 So Hezekiah receiued the letter of the hand of the messengers and read it, and he went vp into the House of the Lord, and Hezekiah spread it before the Lord.
Na ka tangohia mai e Hetekia te pukapuka i te ringa o nga karere, korerotia ana e ia. Na haere ana a Hetekia ki runga, ki te whare o Ihowa, wherahia ana e ia ki te aroaro o Ihowa.
15 And Hezekiah prayed vnto the Lord, saying,
Na ka inoi a Hetekia ki a Ihowa, ka mea,
16 O Lord of hostes, God of Israel, which dwellest betweene the Cherubims, thou art very God alone ouer all the kingdomes of the earth: thou hast made the heauen and the earth.
E Ihowa o nga mano, e te Atua o Iharaira, e noho na i runga o nga kerupima, ko koe te Atua, ko koe anake, o nga kingitanga katoa o te whenua; nau i hanga te rangi me te whenua.
17 Encline thine eare, O Lord, and heare: open thine eyes, O Lord, and see, and heare all the wordes of Saneherib, who hath sent to blaspheme the liuing God.
Tahuri mai tou taringa, e Ihowa, whakarongo mai; titiro mai ou kanohi e Ihowa, kia kite koe; kia rongo ki nga kupu katoa a Henakeripi, ki tana i tuku mai ai hei whakorekore mo te Atua ora.
18 Trueth it is, O Lord, that the Kings of Asshur haue destroyed all lands, and their countrey,
He tika ano, e Ihowa, kua kore i nga kingi o Ahiria nga iwi katoa, me to ratou whenua.
19 And haue cast their gods in ye fire: for they were no gods, but the worke of mans hands, euen wood or stone: therefore they destroyed them.
Kua maka ano e ratou o ratou atua ki te ahi; no te mea ehara ratou i te atua; engari he mahi na te ringa tangata, he rakau, he kohatu; koia i huna ai e ratou.
20 Nowe therefore, O Lord our God, saue thou vs out of his hand, that all the kingdomes of the earth may knowe, that thou onely art the Lord.
Tena ra, whakaorangia matou aianei, e Ihowa, e to matou Atua, i tona ringa, kia mohio ai nga kingitanga katoa o te whenua ko koe a Ihowa, ko koe anake.
21 Then Isaiah the sonne of Amoz sent vnto Hezekiah, saying, Thus sayth the Lord God of Israel, Because thou hast prayed vnto me, concerning Saneherib king of Asshur,
Katahi a Ihaia tama a Amoho ka tono tangata ki a Hetekia, hei mea, Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa, a te Atua o Iharaira, I te mea i inoi koe ki ahau mo Henakeripi kingi o Ahiria;
22 This is the worde that the Lord hath spoken against him, the virgine, the daughter of Zion, hath despised thee, and laughed thee to scorne: the daughter of Ierusalem, hath shaken her head at thee.
Na ko ta Ihowa kupu tenei i korero ai mona, Kua whakahawea te wahine, te tamahine a Hiona ki a koe: kataina iho koe e ia; ruru ana te mahunga o te tamahine a Hiurharama ki a koe.
23 Whome hast thou railed on and blasphemed? and against whome hast thou exalted thy voyce, and lifted vp thine eyes on hie? euen against the holy one of Israel.
Ko wai tau i whakorekore na, i kohukohu na? ki a wai tou reo i whakarahia na, tou kanohi i kake na ki runga? ki te Mea Tapu o Iharaira.
24 By thy seruants hast thou railed on the Lord, and sayd, By the multitude of my charets I am come vp to the top of the mountaines to the sides of Lebanon, and will cut downe the hie cedars thereof, and the faire firre trees thereof, and I will goe vp to the heightes of his top and to the forest of his fruitfull places.
Meatia ana e koe au karere hei whakorekore mo te Ariki; kua mea na koe, Kua kake ahau, me aku tini hariata, ki runga ki nga wahi tiketike o nga maunga, ki roto rawa o Repanona; ka tuaina ano e ahau nga hita roroa o reira, me o reira kauri papai: ka tae ano ahau ki te wahi tiketike o tona wahi whakamutunga mai, ki te ngahere o tona mara whai hua.
25 I haue digged and drunke the waters, and with the plant of my feete haue I dryed all the riuers closed in.
Keria ana e ahau, inu wai ana ahau, maroke ake i te kapu o toku waewae nga awa katoa o Ihipa.
26 Hast thou not heard howe I haue of olde time made it, and haue formed it long ago? and should I now bring it, that it should be destroyed, and layde on ruinous heapes, as cities defensed?
Kahore ranei koe i rongo i mua noa atu, naku tena i mea? i nga ra onamata naku tena i hanga? Katahi nei ka whakaputaina e ahau, a ka waiho na koe hei mea i nga pa taiepa hei puranga rukerukenga.
27 Whose inhabitants haue small power, and are afrayd and confounded: they are like the grasse of the field and greene herbe, or grasse on the house tops, or corne blassed afore it be growen.
Koia i iti ai te kaha o o reira tangata; wehi ana ratou, porahurahu kau ana; rite tonu ki te tarutaru o te parae, ki te otaota matomato, ki te taru i runga i nga tuanui, ki te witi i ngingio i te mea kiano i tupu noa.
28 But I know thy dwelling, and thy going out, and thy comming in, and thy fury against me.
Otira e matau ana ahau ki tou nohoanga iho, ki tou haerenga atu, ki tou haerenga mai, me tou nananga ki ahau.
29 Because thou ragest against me, and thy tumult is come vnto mine eares, therefore will I put mine hooke in thy nostrels, and my bridle in thy lips, and wil bring thee backe againe the same way thou camest.
Na, mo tau nananga ki ahau, mo te mea kua tae ake nei tau whakamanamana ki oku taringa, mo reira ka kuhua e ahau taku matau ki tou ihu, taku paraire ki ou ngutu; a ka whakahokia koe na te ara i haere mai na koe.
30 And this shalbe a signe vnto thee, O Hezekiah, Thou shalt eate this yeere such as groweth of it selfe: and the second yeere, such things as growe without sowing: and in the third yeere, sowe ye and reape, and plant vineyards, and eate the fruite thereof.
A ko te tohu tenei ki a koe, I tenei tau ka kai koutou i nga mea tupu noa ake, a i te rua o nga tau ko nga tupu noa ake o te tau; na hei te toru o nga tau koutou whakato ai, kokoti ai, whakato ai i nga mara waina, kai ai i nga hua o aua mara.
31 And the remnant that is escaped of the house of Iudah, shall againe take roote downward and beare fruite vpward.
Na, tera e hou ano whakararo nga pakiaka o nga oranga i mawhiti o te whare o Hura, ka hua ano nga hua whakarunga.
32 For out of Ierusalem shall goe a remnant, and they that escape out of mount Zion: the zeale of the Lord of hostes shall doe this.
E puta ake hoki he toenga i Hiruharama, he oranga i Maunga Hiona. E taea tenei e te ngakau nui o Ihowa o nga mano.
33 Therefore thus sayth the Lord, concerning the King of Asshur, He shall not enter into this citie, nor shoote an arrow there, nor come before it with shield, nor cast a mount against it.
Na ko ta Ihowa kupu tenei mo te kingi o Ahiria, E kore ia e haere mai ki tenei pa, e kore ano e perea he pere e ia ki konei, e kore ano e maua e ia he whakangungu rakau ki mua i tenei pa, e opehia ranei he puke hei whawhaitanga ki konei.
34 By the same way that he came, he shall returne, and not come into this citie, saith the Lord.
Ko te ara i haere mai ai ia, ka hoki ia ma reira; e kore ano ia e tae ki tenei pa, e ai ta Ihowa.
35 For I will defend this citie to saue it, for mine owne sake, and for my seruant Dauids sake.
Ka tiakina hoki e ahau tenei pa, ka whakaorangia; he whakaaro ki ahau, ki taku pononga ano, ki a Rawiri.
36 Then the Angel of the Lord went out, and smote in the campe of Asshur an hundreth, fourescore, and fiue thousand: so when they arose early in the morning, beholde, they were all dead corpses.
Na ka puta atu te anahera a Ihowa, a patua iho e ia i te puni o nga Ahiriana kotahi rau e waru tekau ma rima mano: a te marangatanga ake i te ata, nana, o ratou tinana! he tupapaku katoa ratou.
37 So Saneherib king of Asshur departed, and went away and returned and dwelt at Nineueh.
Na turia atu ana e Henakeripi kingi o Ahiria, haere ana, hoki ana, noho rawa atu kei Ninewe.
38 And as he was in the temple worshipping of Nisroch his god, Adramelech and Sharezer his sonnes slewe him with the sword, and they escaped into the land of Ararat: and Esarhaddon his sonne reigned in his steade.
A i a ia e koropiko ana i te whare o tona atua, o Nitiroko, patua iho ia e ana tama, e Ataramereke raua ko Heretere, ki te hoari; mawhiti tonu atu raua ki te whenua o Ararata, a ko tana tama ko Etara Harono, te kingi i muri i a ia.
