1 A fter these things and this truth, come hath Sennacherib king of Asshur, yea, he cometh in to Judah, and encampeth against the cities of the bulwarks, and saith to rend them unto himself.

I muri i enei mea, i te mea ka ata takoto, ka haere mai a Henakeripi kingi o Ahiria, tae tonu mai ki Hura, whakapaea ana e ia nga pa taiepa; i mea hoki ia kia riro atu i a ia.

2 A nd Hezekiah seeth that Sennacherib hath come, and his face to the battle against Jerusalem,

A, no te kitenga o Hetekia kua tae mai a Henakeripi, e anga ana hoki ki te whawhai ki Hiruharama,

3 a nd he taketh counsel with his heads and his mighty ones, to stop the waters of the fountains that at the outside of the city -- and they help him,

Ka whakatakoto whakaaro ki ana rangatira, ki ana marohirohi, kia purua nga wai o nga puna i waho o te pa; a ko ratou ona hoa mahi.

4 a nd much people are gathered, and they stop all the fountains and the brook that is rushing into the midst of the land, saying, `Why do the kings of Asshur come, and have found much water?'

Heoi nui atu te iwi i huihui mai, a purua ana e ratou nga puna katoa, me te awa e rere ana i waenganui o te whenua; i ki hoki ratou, He aha kia haere mai nga kingi o Ahiria, kia nui te wai e kitea e ratou?

5 A nd he strengtheneth himself, and buildeth the whole of the wall that is broken, and causeth to ascend unto the towers, and at the outside of the wall another, and strengtheneth Millo, the city of David, and maketh darts in abundance, and shields.

Na ka whakapakari ia, a hanga ana e ia te taiepa katoa i pakaru, a eke noa ki nga pourewa; me tetahi atu taiepa ano i waho, i whakakahangia ano e ia a Miro i te pa o Rawiri: a he tini nga pere me nga whakangungu rakau i hanga e ia.

6 A nd he putteth heads of war over the people, and gathereth them unto him, unto the broad place of a gate of the city, and speaketh unto their heart, saying,

I whakaritea ano e ia he rangatira whawhai mo te iwi; a ka huihui i a ratou ki a ia ki te wahi whanui i te kuwaha o te pa. Na ka korero whakamarie ia ki a ratou, ka mea,

7 ` Be strong and courageous, be not afraid, nor be cast down from the face of the king of Asshur, and from the face of all the multitude that with him, for with us more than with him.

Kia kaha, kia maia, kaua e wehi, kaua e pawera ki te kingi o Ahiria, ki tana ope katoa: hira ake hoki to tatou i tona.

8 W ith him an arm of flesh, and with us Jehovah our God, to help us, and to fight our battles;' and the people are supported by the words of Hezekiah king of Judah.

Ko tona he ringa kikokiko; ko to tatou ia, ko Ihowa, ko to tatou Atua hei awhina mo tatou, hei whawhai i ta tatou whawhai. Na okioki tonu te iwi ki nga kupu a Hetekia kingi o Hura.

9 A fter this hath Sennacherib king of Asshur sent his servants to Jerusalem -- and he by Lachish, and all his power with him -- against Hezekiah king of Judah, and against all Judah, who in Jerusalem, saying,

I muri i tenei ka unga mai ana tangata e Henakeripi kingi o Ahiria ki Hiruharama: ko ia hoki i te whakapae i Rakihi, a ko tona kingitanga katoa i a ia; hei mea ki a Hetekia kingi o Hura, ki a Hura katoa ano i Hiruharama,

10 ` Thus said Sennacherib king of Asshur, On what are ye trusting and abiding in the bulwark, in Jerusalem?

Ko te kupu tenei a Henakeripi kingi o Ahiria, E whakawhirinaki ana koutou ki te aha, i a koutou e whakapaea na i Hiruharama?

11 ` Is not Hezekiah persuading you, to give you up to die by famine, and by thirst, saying, Jehovah our God doth deliver us from the hand of the king of Asshur?

He teka ianei he whakapati ta Hetekia i a koutou, he mea kia tukua ai koutou ki te mate i te kore kai, i te kore wai, i a ia e ki ra, Tera tatou e whakaorangia e Ihowa, e to tatou Atua i te ringa o te kingi o Ahiria?

12 H ath not Hezekiah himself turned aside His high places, and His altars, and speaketh to Judah and to Jerusalem, saying, Before one altar ye bow yourselves, and on it ye make perfume?

He teka ianei na taua Hetekia nei i whakakore ona wahi tiketike, me ana aata, a ki ana ia ki a Hura, ki Hiruharama, mea ana, Hei mua i te aata kotahi koutou koropiko ai, ki runga ano i tenei koutou tahu ai i te whakakakara?

13 ` Do ye not know what I have done -- I and my fathers -- to all peoples of the lands? Were the gods of the nations of the lands at all able to deliver their land out of my hand?

Kahore ranei koutou e mohio ki nga mea i mea ai ahau me oku matua ki nga iwi katoa o nga whenua nei? i taea ranei e nga atua o nga iwi o aua whenua te whakaora to ratou whenua i toku ringa?

14 W ho among all the gods of these nations whom my fathers have devoted to destruction he who hath been able to deliver his people out of my hand, that your God is able to deliver you out of my hand?

Ko wai o nga atua o enei iwi i huna nei e oku matua i kaha ki te whakaora i tana iwi i roto i toku ringa, e kaha ai to koutou Atua ki te whakaora i a koutou i roto i toku ringa?

15 ` And, now, let not Hezekiah lift you up, nor persuade you thus, nor give credence to him, for no god of any nation and kingdom is able to deliver his people from my hand, and from the hand of my fathers: also, surely your God doth not deliver you from my hand!'

Na kei tinihangatia koutou e Hetekia, kei whakapati hoki ia i a koutou, kei pera me tana na; kaua hoki e whakapono ki a ia; no te mea kihai i kaha te atua o tetahi iwi, o tetahi kingitanga ranei ki te whakaora i tana iwi i roto i toku ringa, i t e ringa ano o oku matua; e kore rawa to koutou Atua e whakaora i a koutou i roto i toku ringa.

16 A nd again have his servants spoken against Jehovah God, and against Hezekiah His servant,

Tera atu ano ta ana tangata i korero kino ai mo te Atua, mo Ihowa, mo tana tangata ano, mo Hetekia.

17 a nd letters he hath written to give reproach to Jehovah, God of Israel, and to speak against Him, saying, `As the gods of the nations of the lands that have not delivered their people from my hand, so the God of Hezekiah doth not deliver His people from my hand.'

I tuhituhia ano e ia etahi pukapuka hei whakakorekore mo Ihowa, mo te Atua o Iharaira, hei korero kino mona; i ki ia, Kihai nei nga atua o nga iwi o nga whenua i kaha ki te whakaora i o ratou iwi i roto i toku ringa, e kore ano hoki te Atua o He tekia e whakaora i tana iwi i roto i toku ringa.

18 A nd they call with a great voice Jewish, against the people of Jerusalem who on the wall, to frighten them, and to trouble them, that they may capture the city,

Na nui atu ta ratou karanga i te reo Hurai ki te iwi o Hiruharama i runga i te taiepa hei whakawehi i a ratou, hei whakararuraru i a ratou, he mea kia riro ai i a ratou te pa.

19 a nd they speak against the God of Jerusalem as against the gods of the peoples of the land -- work of the hands of man.

Na, ko ta ratou korero mo te Atua o Hiruharama, rite tonu ki ta ratou mo nga atua o nga iwi o te whenua, mo nga mahi a te ringa tangata.

20 A nd Hezekiah the king prayeth, and Isaiah son of Amoz the prophet, concerning this, and they cry to the heavens,

Na kei te inoi, kei te karanga ki te rangi a Kingi Hetekia raua ko te poropiti, ko Ihaia tama a Amoho, mo tenei mea.

21 a nd Jehovah sendeth a messenger, and cutteth off every mighty one of valour -- both leader and head -- in the camp of the king of Asshur, and he turneth back with shame of face to his land, and entereth the house of his god, and those coming out of his bowels have caused him to fall there by the sword.

Na ko te tukunga mai a Ihowa i te anahera, hautopea atu ana e ia nga toa marohirohi katoa ratou ko nga rangatira, ko nga tangata nunui, i te puni o te kingi o Ahiria. Heoi hoki ana ia ki tona whenua; whakama ana tona mata. Haere ana ia ki te wha re o tona atua, na patua iho ia i reira ki te hoari e te hunga i puta i ona whekau.

22 A nd Jehovah saveth Hezekiah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem from the hand of Sennacherib king of Asshur, and from the hand of all, and He leadeth them round about;

Heoi whakaorangia ake a Hetekia me nga tangata o Hiruharama e Ihowa i te ringa o Henakeripi kingi o Ahiria, i te ringa ano o era katoa, a arahina ana ratou e ia i tetahi taha, i tetahi taha.

23 a nd many are bringing in an offering to Jehovah, to Jerusalem, and precious things to Hezekiah king of Judah, and he is lifted up before the eyes of all the nations after this.

A he tokomaha ki te kawe i te hakari ki a Ihowa, ki Hiruharama, i nga mea utu nui ano ki a Hetekia kingi o Hura; na kake tonu ake ia i reira i te tirohanga a nga iwi katoa.

24 I n those days hath Hezekiah been sick even unto death, and he prayeth unto Jehovah, and He speaketh to him, and a wonder hath appointed for him;

I aua ra ka mate a Hetekia, whano marere. Na ko tana inoinga ki a Ihowa, ka korero tera ki a ia, ka homai ano i te tohu ki a ia.

25 a nd Hezekiah hath not returned according to the deed unto him, for his heart hath been lofty, and there is wrath upon him, and upon Judah and Jerusalem;

Otiia kihai i rite ki te atawhainga ki a ia ta Hetekia utu: i whakakake hoki tona ngakau; na kua takoto he riri mona, mo Hura, mo Hiruharama.

26 a nd Hezekiah is humbled for the loftiness of his heart, he and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and the wrath of Jehovah hath not come upon them in the days of Hezekiah.

Otiia i whakaiti a Hetekia i a ia, mo tona ngakau i whakakake ra, a ia, me nga tangata ano o Hiruharama, a kihai te riri o Ihowa i puta ki a ratou i nga ra o Hetekia.

27 A nd Hezekiah hath riches and honour very much, and treasures he hath made to himself of silver, and of gold, and of precious stone, and of spices, and of shields, and of all of desirable vessels,

Na nui atu te taonga me te kororia i a Hetekia: a hanga ana e ia he toa taonga mo te hiriwa, mo te koura, mo nga kohatu utu nui, mo nga mea kakara, mo nga whakangungu rakau, mo nga mea katoa e matenuitia ana;

28 a nd storehouses for the increase of corn, and new wine, and oil, and stalls for all kinds of cattle, and herds for stalls;

He toa ano mo nga hua o te witi, o te waina, o te hinu, me nga tunga mo ia kararehe, mo ia kararehe, me nga taiepa mo nga kahui hipi.

29 a nd cities he hath made for himself, and possessions of flocks and herds in abundance, for God hath given to him very much substance.

I hanga ano e ia etahi pa mona, a he tini ano nga kahui hipi, kau hoki: nui atu hoki te taonga i homai e te Atua ki a ia.

30 A nd Hezekiah himself hath stopped the upper source of the waters of Gihon, and directeth them beneath to the west of the city of David, and Hezekiah prospereth in all his work;

Na taua Hetekia ano i puru to runga putanga o te wai o Kihona; whakatikaia tonutia iho e ia ki te taha ki te hauauru o te pa o Rawiri. Oti pai ana hoki i a Hetekia ana mahi katoa.

31 a nd so with the ambassadors of the heads of Babylon, those sending unto him to inquire of the wonder that hath been in the land, God hath left him to try him, to know all in his heart,

I nga karere ia a nga rangatira o Papurona i unga mai nei ki a ia ki te ui ki te merekara i puta ki te whenua, i mahue ia i te Atua, kia whakamatauria ai ia, kia mohiotia ai nga mea katoa i tona ngakau.

32 A nd the rest of the matters of Hezekiah, and his kind acts, lo, they are written in the vision of Isaiah son of Amoz the prophet, on the book of the kings of Judah and Israel.

Na, ko era atu meatanga a Hetekia, me ana mahi atawhai, nana, kua oti te tuhituhi ki te kite a Ihaia poropiti tama a Amoho, ki te pukapuka o nga kingi o Hura, o Iharaira.

33 A nd Hezekiah lieth with his fathers, and they bury him in the uppermost of the graves of the sons of David, and all Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem have done honour to him at his death, and reign doth Manasseh his son in his stead.

Na kua moe a Hetekia ki ona matua, a tanumia iho ki to runga rawa o nga urupa o nga tama a Rawiri: a i tona matenga ka whakakororiatia ia e Hura katoa, ratou ko nga tangata o Hiruharama; a ko tana tama, ko Manahi, te kingi i muri i a ia.
