Tongan Bible, Revised West Version
1After these things, and the establishment thereof, Sennacherib king of Assyria came, and entered into Judah, and encamped against the fenced cities, and thought 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 was come, and that he was purposed to fight against Jerusalem,
2Pea ʻi he mamata ʻa Hesekaia kuo haʻu ʻa Senakalipe, pea kuo loto ia ke tauʻi ʻa Selūsalema,
3He took counsel with his princes and his mighty men to stop the waters of the fountains which were without the city: and they did help 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.
4So there was gathered much people together, who stopped all the fountains, and the brook that ran through the midst of 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?
5Also he strengthened himself, and built up all the wall that was broken, and raised it up to the towers, and another wall without, and repaired Millo in the city of David, and made darts 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 captains of war over the people, and gathered them together to him in the street of the gate of the city, and spake comfortably 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,
7Be strong and courageous, be not afraid nor dismayed for the king of Assyria, nor for all the multitude that is with him: for there be 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 rested themselves upon 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.
9¶ After this did Sennacherib king of Assyria send his servants to Jerusalem, (but he himself laid siege against Lachish, and all his power with him,) unto Hezekiah king of Judah, and unto all Judah that were at Jerusalem, saying,
9¶ Hili 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,
10Thus saith Sennacherib king of Assyria, Whereon do ye trust, that ye abide in 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?
11Doth not Hezekiah persuade you to give over yourselves to die by famine and by thirst, saying, The LORD our God shall deliver us out of 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?
12Hath not the same Hezekiah taken away his high places and his altars, and commanded Judah and Jerusalem, saying, Ye shall worship before one altar, and burn incense upon it?
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.
13Know ye not what I and my fathers have done unto all the people of other lands? were the gods of the nations of those lands any ways able to deliver their lands out of mine 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 was there among all the gods of those nations that my fathers utterly destroyed, that could deliver his people out of mine hand, that your God should be able to deliver you out of mine 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 let not Hezekiah deceive you, nor persuade you on this manner, neither yet believe him: for no god of any nation or kingdom was able to deliver his people out of mine hand, and out of the hand of my fathers: how much less shall your God deliver you out of mine 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 spake yet 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.
17He wrote also letters to rail on the LORD God of Israel, and to speak against him, saying, As the gods of the nations of other lands have not delivered their people out of mine hand, so shall not the God of Hezekiah deliver his people out of mine 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.”
18Then they cried with a loud voice in the Jews’ speech unto the people of Jerusalem that were on the wall, to affright them, and to trouble them; 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 spake against the God of Jerusalem, as against the gods of the people of the earth, which were the work of the hands of man.
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.
20And for this cause Hezekiah the king, and the prophet Isaiah the son of Amoz, prayed 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.
21¶ And the LORD sent an angel, which cut off all the mighty men of valour, and the leaders and captains in the camp of the king of Assyria. So he returned with shame of face to his own land. And when he was come into the house of his god, they that came forth of his own bowels slew him there with the sword.
21¶ Pea 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.
22Thus the LORD saved Hezekiah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem from the hand of Sennacherib the king of Assyria, and from the hand of all other , and guided 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 unto the LORD to Jerusalem, and presents to Hezekiah king of Judah: so that he was magnified in the sight of all nations from thenceforth.
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.
24¶ In those days Hezekiah was sick to the death, and prayed unto the LORD : and he spake unto him, and he gave him a sign.
24¶ Pea 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 rendered not again according to the benefit done unto him; for his heart was lifted up: therefore there was wrath upon him, and upon 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.
26Notwithstanding Hezekiah humbled himself for the pride of his heart, both he and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so that the wrath of the LORD came not 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.
27¶ And Hezekiah had exceeding much riches and honour: and he made himself treasuries for silver, and for gold, and for precious stones, and for spices, and for shields, and for all manner of pleasant jewels;
27¶ Pea 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 increase of corn, and wine, and oil; and stalls for all manner of beasts, and cotes for flocks.
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.
29Moreover he provided him cities, and possessions of flocks and herds in abundance: for God had given him substance very much.
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 also stopped the upper watercourse of Gihon, and brought it straight 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.
31¶ Howbeit in the business of the ambassadors of the princes of Babylon, who sent unto him to enquire of the wonder that was done in the land, God left him, to try him, that he might know all that was in his heart.
31¶ Ka 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.
32¶ Now the rest of the acts of Hezekiah, and his goodness, behold, they are written in the vision of Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amoz, and in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel.
32¶ Pea 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 chiefest of the sepulchres of the sons of David: and all Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem did him honour at his death. And Manasseh his son reigned in his stead.
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.
