II Kings 19

Na, I te rongonga o Kingi Hetekia, ka haea e ia ona kakahu, ka hipoki i a ia ki te kakahu taratara, haere ana ki te whare o Ihowa.

And it came to pass, when king Hezekiah heard it, that he rent his clothes, and covered himself with sackcloth, and went into the house of the LORD.

I unga hoki e ia a Eriakimi, te rangatira o te whare, ratou ko Hepena kaituhituhi, ko nga kaumatua o nga tohunga, he mea hipoki ki te kakahu taratara, ki a Ihaia poropiti tama a Amoho.

And he sent Eliakim, which was over the household, and Shebna the scribe, and the elders of the priests, covered with sackcloth, to Isaiah the prophet the son of Amoz.

A ka mea ratou ki a ia, Ko te kupu tenei a Hetekia, Ko tenei ra, he ra no te raruraru, no te whakatuma, no te kohukohu: kua tae hoki nga tamariki ki te whanautanga, heoi kahore he kaha e whanau ai.

And they said unto him, Thus saith Hezekiah, This day is a day of trouble, and of rebuke, and blasphemy: for the children are come to the birth, and there is not strength to bring forth.

Tera pea ka rongo a Ihowa, tou Atua ki nga kupu katoa a Rapahake i unga 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.

It may be the LORD thy God will hear all the words of Rab–shakeh, whom the king of Assyria his master hath sent to reproach the living God; and will reprove the words which the LORD thy God hath heard: wherefore lift up thy prayer for the remnant that are left.

Heoi kua tae nga tangata a Kingi Hetekia ki a Ihaia.

So the servants of king Hezekiah came to Isaiah.

A ka mea a Ihaia ki a ratou, Kia penei ta koutou korero ki to koutou ariki, Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa, Kaua e wehi i nga kupu i rongo na koe, ki ena i kohukohu mai na nga tangata a te kingi o Ahiria ki ahau.

And Isaiah said unto them, Thus shall ye say to your master, Thus saith the LORD, Be not afraid of the words which thou hast heard, with which the servants of the king of Assyria have blasphemed me.

Nana, ka hoatu e ahau he wairua ki roto ki a ia, a tera ia e rongo i tetahi rongo, ka hoki ki tona whenua, a ka meinga ia e ahau kia hinga i te hoari i tona ake whenua.

Behold, I will send a blast upon him, and he shall hear a rumour, and shall return to his own land; and I will cause him to fall by the sword in his own land.

Na ka hoki a Rapahake, a rokohanga atu e whawhai ana te kingi o Ahiria ki Ripina: i rongo hoki ia kua maunu mai ia i Rakihi.

So Rab–shakeh returned, and found the king of Assyria warring against Libnah: for he had heard that he was departed from Lachish.

A, no tona rongonga ki a Tirihaka kingi o Etiopia, ki te korero, Nana, kei te haere mai ia ki te whawhai ki a koe: ka unga tangata ano ia ki a Hetekia, hei mea atu,

And when he heard say of Tirhakah king of Ethiopia, Behold, he is come out to fight against thee: he sent messengers again unto Hezekiah, saying,

Kia penei ta koutou ki atu ki a Hetekia kingi o Hura, mea atu, Kei tinihangatia koe e tou Atua, e okioki atu na koe, i a ia e ki na, E kore a Hiruharama e hoatu ki te ringa o te kingi o Ahiria.

Thus shall ye speak to Hezekiah king of Judah, saying, Let not thy God in whom thou trustest deceive thee, saying, Jerusalem shall not be delivered into the hand of the king of Assyria.

Nana, tena koe kua rongo ki ta nga kingi o Ahiria i mea ai ki nga whenua katoa, ki ta ratou hunanga i a ratou: a e ora ranei koe?

Behold, thou hast heard what the kings of Assyria have done to all lands, by destroying them utterly: and shalt thou be delivered?

I ora ranei i o ratou atua nga tauiwi i huna ra e oku matua, a Kotana, a Harana, a Retepe, me nga tama a Erene, i Terahara ra?

Have the gods of the nations delivered them which my fathers have destroyed; as Gozan, and Haran, and Rezeph, and the children of Eden which were in Thelasar?

Kei hea te kingi o Hamata, te kingi o Arapara, te kingi o te pa o Heparawaima, o Hena, o Iwa?

Where is the king of Hamath, and the king of Arpad, and the king of the city of Sepharvaim, of Hena, and Ivah?

Na ka riro mai i a Hetekia te pukapuka i te ringa o nga karere, a ka korerotia e ia: na haere ana a Hetekia ki runga, ki te whare o Ihowa, wherahia ana e ia ki te aroaro o Ihowa.

And Hezekiah received the letter of the hand of the messengers, and read it: and Hezekiah went up into the house of the LORD, and spread it before the LORD.

Na ka inoi a Hetekia ki te aroaro o Ihowa, ka mea, E Ihowa, e te Atua o Iharaira, e noho mai 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.

And Hezekiah prayed before the LORD, and said, O LORD God of Israel, which dwellest between the cherubims, thou art the God, even thou alone, of all the kingdoms of the earth; thou hast made heaven and earth.

Tahuri mai tou taringa, e Ihowa, whakarongo mai; titiro mai ou kanohi, e Ihowa, kia kite koe; whakarongo ki nga kupu a Henakeripi, i unga mai nei i tenei hei whakorekore mo te Atua ora.

LORD, bow down thine ear, and hear: open, LORD, thine eyes, and see: and hear the words of Sennacherib, which hath sent him to reproach the living God.

He tika ano e Ihowa, kua kore i nga kingi o Ahiria nga iwi me o ratou whenua,

Of a truth, LORD, the kings of Assyria have destroyed the nations and their lands,

Kua makaia atu hoki o ratou atua ki roto ki te ahi: ehara hoki era i te atua, engari he mahi na te ringa tangata, he rakau, he kohatu; koia i huna ai e ratou.

And have cast their gods into the fire: for they were no gods, but the work of men's hands, wood and stone: therefore they have destroyed them.

Tena ra, e Ihowa, e to matou Atua, whakaorangia matou i tona ringa, kia mohio ai nga kingitanga katoa o te whenua ko Ihowa koe, ko te Atua, ko koe anake.

Now therefore, O LORD our God, I beseech thee, save thou us out of his hand, that all the kingdoms of the earth may know that thou art the LORD God, even thou only.

Katahi a Ihaia tama a Amoho ka unga tangata ki a Hetekia, hei mea, Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa, a te Atua o Iharaira, I inoi mai na koe ki ahau mo Henakeripi kingi o Ahiria, na kua rongo ahau ki a koe.

Then Isaiah the son of Amoz sent to Hezekiah, saying, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, That which thou hast prayed to me against Sennacherib king of Assyria I have heard.

Ko ta Ihowa kupu tenei i korero ai mona, Kua whakahawea te tamahine wahine a Hiona ki a koe, kua kataina koe e ia; kua ruru te matenga o te tamahine a Hiruharama ki a koe.

This is the word that the LORD hath spoken concerning him; The virgin the daughter of Zion hath despised thee, and laughed thee to scorn; the daughter of Jerusalem hath shaken her head at thee.

Ko wai tau i whakorekore na, i kohukohu na? ki a wai tou reo i whakarahia na, tou mata i kake na ki runga? ki te Mea Tapu o Iharaira.

Whom hast thou reproached and blasphemed? and against whom hast thou exalted thy voice, and lifted up thine eyes on high? even against the Holy One of Israel.

Na au karere i whakorekore ai koe i te Ariki, kua mea na koe, Kake ana ahau, me aku tini hariata, ki nga wahi tiketike o nga maunga, ki nga taha rawa o Repanona; a ka tuaina e ahau nga hita raroa o reira me o reira kauri papai; a ka tomo ahau ki te whare tira haere o tona wahi whakamutunga mai, ki te ngahere o tona mara hua.

By thy messengers thou hast reproached the Lord, and hast said, With the multitude of my chariots I am come up to the height of the mountains, to the sides of Lebanon, and will cut down the tall cedar trees thereof, and the choice fir trees thereof: and I will enter into the lodgings of his borders, and into the forest of his Carmel.

Kua keria e ahau, kua inumia ano nga wai ke, a ka maroke i te kapu o toku waewae nga awa katoa o Ihipa.

I have digged and drunk strange waters, and with the sole of my feet have I dried up all the rivers of besieged places.

Kahore ranei koe i rongo naku tena i mea i mua noa atu, a naku tena i hanga o nga ra onamata? no naianei kua meinga e ahau, ko koe hei mea i nga pa taiepa hei puranga rukerukenga.

Hast thou not heard long ago how I have done it, and of ancient times that I have formed it? now have I brought it to pass, that thou shouldest be to lay waste fenced cities into ruinous heaps.

Koia i iti ai te kaha o o reira tangata; wehi ana ratou, pororaru ana; rite tonu ratou 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 ata tupu noa.

Therefore their inhabitants were of small power, they were dismayed and confounded; they were as the grass of the field, and as the green herb, as the grass on the housetops, and as corn blasted before it be grown up.

Otiia e matau ana ahau ki tou nohoanga iho, ki tou haerenga atu, ki tou haerenga mai, me tau nananga ki ahau.

But I know thy abode, and thy going out, and thy coming in, and thy rage against me.

Mo tau nananga ki ahau, a mo tau whakakake kua tae mai nei 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.

Because thy rage against me and thy tumult is come up into mine ears, therefore I will put my hook in thy nose, and my bridle in thy lips, and I will turn thee back by the way by which thou camest.

A ko te tohu tenei ki a koe: ka kai koutou i tenei tau 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 iho ai i nga hua.

And this shall be a sign unto thee, Ye shall eat this year such things as grow of themselves, and in the second year that which springeth of the same; and in the third year sow ye, and reap, and plant vineyards, and eat the fruits thereof.

Na, tera e hou ano whakararo nga pakiaka o nga morehu i mawhiti o te whare o Hura, a ka hua nga hua whakarunga.

And the remnant that is escaped of the house of Judah shall yet again take root downward, and bear fruit upward.

No te mea tera e puta ake he toenga i Hiruharama, he oranga i maunga Hiona: e taea hoki tenei e te ngakau nui o Ihowa.

For out of Jerusalem shall go forth a remnant, and they that escape out of mount Zion: the zeal of the LORD of hosts shall do this.

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 mai he pere e ia ki konei, e kore ano e maua mai e ia he whakangungu rakau ki mua i tenei pa, e haupuria ranei he puke hei whawhaitanga ki kone i.

Therefore thus saith the LORD concerning the king of Assyria, He shall not come into this city, nor shoot an arrow there, nor come before it with shield, nor cast a bank against it.

Ko te ara i haere mai ai ia, ka hoki ano ia ma reira: e kore hoki ia e tae mai ki tenei pa, e ai ta Ihowa.

By the way that he came, by the same shall he return, and shall not come into this city, saith the LORD.

Ka tiakina hoki e ahau tenei pa, kia ora ai; he whakaaro ki ahau, ki taku pononga ano ki a Rawiri.

For I will defend this city, to save it, for mine own sake, and for my servant David's sake.

Na i taua po ka puta te anahera a Ihowa, a patua iho e ia i te puni o nga Ahiriana kotahi rau e waru tekau ma rima mano: a, i te marangatanga ake i te ata, nana, o ratou tinana! he tupapaku katoa ratou.

And it came to pass that night, that the angel of the LORD went out, and smote in the camp of the Assyrians an hundred fourscore and five thousand: and when they arose early in the morning, behold, they were all dead corpses.

Heoi turia atu ana e Henakeripi kingi o Ahiria, haere ana, hoki ana, noho rawa atu kei Ninewe.

So Sennacherib king of Assyria departed, and went and returned, and dwelt at Nineveh.

A, i a ia e koropiko ana i roto i te whare o tona atua, o Nitiroko, ka patua e ana tama, e Ataramereke raua ko Haretere ki te hoari: a mawhiti atu ana raua ki te whenua o Ararata. A ko Etara Harono, ko tana tama, te kingi i muri i a ia.

And it came to pass, as he was worshipping in the house of Nisroch his god, that Adrammelech and Sharezer his sons smote him with the sword: and they escaped into the land of Armenia. And Esar–haddon his son reigned in his stead.
