2 Meʻa Hokohoko 32
1After these things and these acts of faithfulness, Sennacherib king of Assyria came and invaded Judah and encamped against the fortified cities, thinking to win them for himself.
1PEA hili ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni, mo hono fakatuʻumaʻu ʻo ia, naʻe haʻu ʻa Senakalipe ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻAsilia, pea hoko ki Siuta, pea naʻe fakanofo ʻene tau ki he ngaahi kolotau, pea mahalo ʻe ia te ne maʻu ʻakinautolu maʻana.
2And when Hezekiah saw that Sennacherib had come and intended to fight against Jerusalem,
2Pea ʻi he mamata ʻa Hesekaia kuo haʻu ʻa Senakalipe, pea kuo loto ia ke tauʻi ʻa Selūsalema,
3he planned with his officers and his mighty men to stop the water of the springs that were outside the city; and they helped him.
3Naʻe fakakaukau ai ia mo hono houʻeiki mo ʻene kau tangata mālohi ke punusia ʻae vai ʻoe ngaahi matavai ʻaia naʻe ʻituʻa ʻi he kolo: pea naʻa nau tokoni kiate ia.
4A great many people were gathered, and they stopped all the springs and the brook that flowed through the land, saying, “Why should the kings of Assyria come and find much water?”
4Ko ia naʻe fakakātoa ai ʻae kakai tokolahi, ʻonau punusia ʻae ngaahi matavai kotoa pē, mo e vaitafe ʻaia naʻe tafe ʻi loto fonua, ʻonau pehē, Koeʻumaʻā ʻae haʻu ʻae ngaahi tuʻi ʻo ʻAsilia, ʻonau maʻu ʻae vai lahi?
5He set to work resolutely and built up all the wall that was broken down and raised towers upon it, and outside it he built another wall, and he strengthened the Millo in the city of David. He also made weapons and shields in abundance.
5Pea naʻa ne fakamālohi ia, pea naʻa ne langa ʻae ʻā maka kotoa pē naʻe holoki hifo, pea fokotuʻu hake ʻae ngaahi fale māʻolunga, mo e ʻā maka ʻe taha ʻi tuaʻā, ʻo ne teuteuʻi ʻa Milo ʻi he Kolo ʻo Tevita, pea naʻa ne ngaohi ʻae ngaahi tao mo e ngaahi pā ke lahi ʻaupito.
6And he set combat commanders over the people and gathered them together to him in the square at the gate of the city and spoke encouragingly to them, saying,
6Pea naʻa ne fakanofo ʻae kau ʻeikitau ki he kakai, ʻo ne tānaki ʻo fakataha ʻakinautolu kiate ia ʻi he hala ʻoe matapā ʻoe kolo, ʻo ne lea lelei kiate kinautolu, ʻo pehē,
7“Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or dismayed before the king of Assyria and all the horde that is with him, for there are more with us than with him.
7Ke mou mālohi mo lototoʻa, “ʻOua naʻa manavahē pe puputuʻu koeʻuhi ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻAsilia, pe ki he fuʻu tokolahi kotoa pē ʻoku ʻiate ia: he ʻoku ʻiate kitautolu ʻae tokolahi hake ʻiate kinautolu ʻoku ʻiate ia:
8With him is an arm of flesh, but with us is the LORD our God, to help us and to fight our battles.” And the people took confidence from the words of Hezekiah king of Judah.
8ʻOku ʻiate ia ʻae nima fakakakano ka ʻoku ʻiate kitautolu ʻa Sihova ko hotau ʻOtua ke tokoni ʻakitautolu, pea ke fai ʻetau ngaahi tau.” Pea naʻe fiemālie ʻae kakai ʻi he ngaahi lea ʻa Hesekaia ko e tuʻi ʻo Siuta.
9After this, Sennacherib king of Assyria, who was besieging Lachish with all his forces, sent his servants to Jerusalem to Hezekiah king of Judah and to all the people of Judah who were in Jerusalem, saying,
9Hili ʻae meʻa ni naʻe fekau ʻe Senakalipe ʻene kau tamaioʻeiki ki Selūsalema (ka naʻe nofo pe ia ʻo tauʻi ʻa Lakisi mo ʻene mālohi kotoa pē naʻe ʻiate ia) kia Hesekaia ko e tuʻi ʻo Siuta, pea ki he kakai Siuta kotoa pē naʻe ʻi Selūsalema, ʻo pehē,
10“Thus says Sennacherib king of Assyria, ‘On what are you trusting, that you endure the siege in Jerusalem?
10“ʻOku pehē mai ʻe Senakalipe ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻAsilia, Ko e hā ia ʻoku mou faʻaki ki ai, ʻoku mou tali ai ʻi he kolotau ʻo Selūsalema?
11Is not Hezekiah misleading you, that he may give you over to die by famine and by thirst, when he tells you, “The LORD our God will deliver us from the hand of the king of Assyria”?
11ʻIkai kuo fakahehemaʻi ʻakimoutolu ʻe Hesekaia ke tukuange ʻakimoutolu ke mou mate ʻi he fiekaia mo e fieinu, ʻo pehē, Ko Sihova ko hotau ʻOtua te ne fakamoʻui ʻakitautolu mei he nima ʻoe tuʻi ʻo ʻAsilia?
12Has not this same Hezekiah taken away his high places and his altars and commanded Judah and Jerusalem, “Before one altar you shall worship, and on it you shall burn your sacrifices”?
12ʻIkai kuo holoki hifo ʻe he Hesekaia ko ia, hono ngaahi potu māʻolunga mo ʻene ngaahi feilaulauʻanga, pea ne fekau ki Siuta mo Selūsalema, ʻo pehē, Te mou hū ʻi he muʻa feilaulauʻanga pe taha, pea tutu ki ai ʻae meʻa namu kakala.
13Do you not know what I and my fathers have done to all the peoples of other lands? Were the gods of the nations of those lands at all able to deliver their lands out of my hand?
13ʻOku ʻikai te mou ʻilo ʻaia kuo u fai ʻeau pea mo ia naʻe fai ʻe heʻeku ngaahi tamai ki he kakai kotoa pē ʻoe ngaahi fonua kehe? he naʻe mafai fakasiʻisiʻi ʻe he ngaahi ʻotua ʻoe ngaahi puleʻanga ʻoe ngaahi fonua ko ia ke fakamoʻui honau ngaahi fonua mei hoku nima?
14Who among all the gods of those nations that my fathers devoted to destruction was able to deliver his people from my hand, that your God should be able to deliver you from my hand?
14Ko hai ia ʻi he ngaahi ʻotua ʻoe ngaahi puleʻanga ko ia naʻe fakaʻauha ʻaupito ʻe heʻeku ngaahi tamai, naʻe mafai ʻe ia ke fakamoʻui hono kakai mei hoku nima, koeʻuhi ke pehē ʻe mafai ʻe homou ʻOtua ke fakamoʻui ʻakimoutolu mei hoku nima?
15Now, therefore, do not let Hezekiah deceive you or mislead you in this fashion, and do not believe him, for no god of any nation or kingdom has been able to deliver his people from my hand or from the hand of my fathers. How much less will your God deliver you out of my hand!’”
15Pea ko eni ʻoua naʻa mou tuku ʻa Hesekaia ke ne kākaaʻi ʻakimoutolu, pe ke fakalotoʻi ʻakimoutolu ʻo pehē ni, pea ʻoua foki naʻa mou tui kiate ia: he naʻe ʻikai ha ʻotua ʻo ha kakai pe ha puleʻanga naʻe mafai ke fakamoʻui hono kakai mei hoku nima, pea mei he nima ʻo ʻeku ngaahi tamai: kae muʻa hake eni ʻae taʻemafai ʻo homou ʻOtua ke fakamoʻui ʻakimoutolu mei hoku nima?”
16And his servants said still more against the LORD God and against his servant Hezekiah.
16Pea naʻe lea kovi lahi hake ʻe heʻene kau tamaioʻeiki kia Sihova ko e ʻOtua, pea ki heʻene tamaioʻeiki ko Hesekaia.
17And he wrote letters to cast contempt on the LORD, the God of Israel, and to speak against him, saying, “Like the gods of the nations of the lands who have not delivered their people from my hands, so the God of Hezekiah will not deliver his people from my hand.”
17Pea naʻe tohi ʻe ia ʻae ngaahi tohi ke kape kia Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli, pea ke talakoviʻi ia, ʻo pehē, “Naʻe ʻikai faʻa fai ʻe he ngaahi ʻotua ʻoe kakai ʻoe ngaahi fonua ke fakamoʻui honau kakai mei hoku nima, pea ʻe pehē, ʻe ʻikai mafai ʻe he ʻOtua ʻo Hesekaia ke fakamoʻui hono kakai mei hoku nima.”
18And they shouted it with a loud voice in the language of Judah to the people of Jerusalem who were on the wall, to frighten and terrify them, in order that they might take the city.
18Pea naʻa nau toki kalanga ʻi he leʻo lahi ʻi he lea fakaSiu ki he kakai ʻo Selūsalema naʻe ʻi he funga ʻā, ke fakamanavahēʻi ʻakinautolu, pea ke fakamamahiʻi ʻakinautolu: koeʻuhi ke nau lavaʻi ʻae kolo.
19And they spoke of the God of Jerusalem as they spoke of the gods of the peoples of the earth, which are the work of men’s hands.
19Pea naʻa nau lea kovi ki he ʻOtua ʻo Selūsalema, ʻo hangē ko ʻenau lau ki he ngaahi ʻotua ʻoe kakai ʻo māmani, ʻaia ʻoku ngaohi ʻe he nima ʻoe tangata.
20Then Hezekiah the king and Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amoz, prayed because of this and cried to heaven.
20Pea ko e meʻa ko ia naʻe lotu ai mo tangi ki langi ʻa Hesekaia ko e tuʻi mo e palōfita ko ʻIsaia ko e foha ʻo ʻAmosi.
21And the LORD sent an angel, who cut off all the mighty warriors and commanders and officers in the camp of the king of Assyria. So he returned with shame of face to his own land. And when he came into the house of his god, some of his own sons struck him down there with the sword.
21Pea naʻe fekau ʻe Sihova ʻae ʻāngelo, ʻaia naʻa ne taaʻi ʻae kau tangata toʻa mālohi kotoa pē, mo e kau taki tau mo e houʻeiki pule ʻi he ʻapitanga ʻoe tuʻi ʻo ʻAsilia. Ko ia naʻe toe ʻalu ai ia ʻo mata mā ki hono fonua. Pea ʻi heʻene hoko ki he fale ʻo hono ʻotua naʻe tāmateʻi ia ʻaki ʻae heletā, ʻekinautolu naʻe tupu mei hono fatu ʻoʻona.
22So the LORD saved Hezekiah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem from the hand of Sennacherib king of Assyria and from the hand of all his enemies, and he provided for them on every side.
22Naʻe pehē pe hono fakamoʻui ʻe Sihova ʻa Hesekaia mo e kakai ʻo Selūsalema mei he nima ʻo Senakalipe ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻAsilia, pea mei he nima ʻoe kakai kotoa pē, pea naʻa ne fakahinohinoʻi ʻakinautolu ʻi he potu kotoa pē.
23And many brought gifts to the LORD to Jerusalem and precious things to Hezekiah king of Judah, so that he was exalted in the sight of all nations from that time onward.
23Pea naʻe ʻomi ʻe he tokolahi ʻae ngaahi meʻa foaki kia Sihova ki Selūsalema, mo e ngaahi meʻaʻofa kia Hesekaia ko e tuʻi ʻo Siuta: pea talu mei ai naʻe fakahikihiki ia ʻi he ʻao ʻoe ngaahi puleʻanga kotoa pē.
24In those days Hezekiah became sick and was at the point of death, and he prayed to the LORD, and he answered him and gave him a sign.
24Pea ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ko ia naʻe mahaki ʻa Hesekaia ʻo teitei mate: pea naʻe lotu ia kia Sihova: pea naʻe folofola ia ki ai, pea naʻe tuku kiate ia ʻae fakaʻilonga.
25But Hezekiah did not make return according to the benefit done to him, for his heart was proud. Therefore wrath came upon him and Judah and Jerusalem.
25Ka naʻe ʻikai ke fai ʻe Hesekaia ʻo fakatatau ki he lelei naʻe fai kiate ia: he naʻe fakahikihiki hono loto: ko ia naʻe ʻai ʻae houhau kiate ia, pea ki Siuta mo Selūsalema.
26But Hezekiah humbled himself for the pride of his heart, both he and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so that the wrath of the LORD did not come upon them in the days of Hezekiah.
26Ka naʻe fakavaivai ia ʻe Hesekaia koeʻuhi ko e fielahi ʻo hono loto, ko ia mo e kakai ʻo Selūsalema, ko ia naʻe ʻikai tō ai ʻae houhau ʻa Sihova kiate kinautolu ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ʻo Hesekaia.
27And Hezekiah had very great riches and honor, and he made for himself treasuries for silver, for gold, for precious stones, for spices, for shields, and for all kinds of costly vessels;
27Pea naʻe maʻu ʻe Hesekaia ʻae koloa lahi ʻaupito mo e ongoongolelei lahi: pea naʻa ne ngaohi moʻona ʻae ngaahi fale faʻoʻanga siliva, pea ki he koula, mo e ngaahi maka koloa mahuʻinga, pea ki he ngaahi meʻa nanamu, pea ki he ngaahi pā, pea ki he ngaahi meʻa teunga lelei kehekehe kotoa pē:
28storehouses also for the yield of grain, wine, and oil; and stalls for all kinds of cattle, and sheepfolds.
28Mo e ngaahi feleoko foki ki hono tupu ʻoe uite, mo e uaine, mo e lolo: mo e ngaahi tuʻuʻanga ki he fanga manu kehekehe kotoa pē, mo e ngaahi lotoʻā ki he ngaahi fanga manu siʻi.
29He likewise provided cities for himself, and flocks and herds in abundance, for God had given him very great possessions.
29Pea naʻa ne ngaohi maʻana ʻae ngaahi kolo, mo e ngaahi fanga manu siʻi, mo e ngaahi fanga manu lahi: he naʻe foaki kiate ia ʻe he ʻOtua ʻae ngaahi meʻa lahi.
30This same Hezekiah closed the upper outlet of the waters of Gihon and directed them down to the west side of the city of David. And Hezekiah prospered in all his works.
30Ko e Hesekaia ni foki naʻa ne tāpuni ʻae tafeʻanga vai ʻi ʻolunga ʻi Kihoni, ʻo ne ʻomi totonu ia ʻi he potu lulunga ʻoe Kolo ʻo Tevita. Pea naʻe monūʻia ʻa Hesekaia ʻi heʻene ngāue kotoa pē.
31And so in the matter of the envoys of the princes of Babylon, who had been sent to him to inquire about the sign that had been done in the land, God left him to himself, in order to test him and to know all that was in his heart.
31Ka ko e meʻa ʻi he ngāue ʻae kau tangata fekau mei he houʻeiki ʻo Papilone, ʻaia naʻa nau fekau kiate ia ke fehuʻi kiate ia ʻi he meʻa mana naʻe fai ʻi he fonua, naʻe fakatukutukuʻi ia ʻe he ʻOtua, ke ʻahiʻahiʻi ia, koeʻuhi ke ne ʻilo ai ʻaia kotoa pē naʻe ʻi hono loto.
32Now the rest of the acts of Hezekiah and his good deeds, behold, they are written in the vision of Isaiah the prophet the son of Amoz, in the Book of the Kings of Judah and Israel.
32Pea ko eni, ko hono toe ʻoe ngāue ʻa Hesekaia, mo ʻene angalelei, vakai, kuo tohi ia ʻi he tohi kikite ʻae palōfita ko ʻIsaia, ko e foha ʻo ʻAmosi, pea ʻi he tohi ʻoe ngaahi tuʻi ʻo Siuta mo ʻIsileli.
33And Hezekiah slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the upper part of the tombs of the sons of David, and all Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem did him honor at his death. And Manasseh his son reigned in his place.
33Pea naʻe mohe ʻa Hesekaia mo ʻene ngaahi tamai, pea nau tanu ia ʻi he fungani fonualoto ʻoe ngaahi foha ʻo Tevita: pea naʻe fai fakaʻapaʻapa kiate ia ʻa Siuta kotoa pē mo e kakai kotoa pē ʻo Selūsalema ʻi heʻene pekia. Pea naʻe fetongi ia ʻi he pule ʻe hono foha ko Manase.
