Tongan Bible, Revised West Version
King James Version with Apocrypha
1Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻi he fanongo ʻa Hesekaia ki ai, naʻa ne haehae hono kofu, pea kofuʻaki ia ʻae tauangaʻa, pea ʻalu ki he fale ʻo Sihova.
1And 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 .
2Pea ne fekau ʻa Iliakimi, ʻaia naʻe pule ʻi he fale, mo Sepina ko e tangata tohi, pea mo e mātuʻa ʻi he kau taulaʻeiki, kuo kofuʻaki ʻae tauangaʻa, kia ʻIsaia ko e palōfita, ko e foha ʻo ʻAmosi.
2And he sent Eliakim, who was over the household, and Shebna the scribe, and the elders of the priests covered with sackcloth, unto Isaiah the prophet the son of Amoz.
3Pea nau pehē kiate ia, “ʻOku pehē ʻe Hesekaia, Ko e ʻaho ni ko e ʻaho ʻoe mamahi, mo e valoki, pea mo e kapekape: he kuo hokosia ʻae ʻaho ke fāʻele, ka ʻoku ʻikai pā mālohi ke fanauʻi.
3And they said unto him, Thus saith Hezekiah, This day is a day of trouble, and of rebuke, and of blasphemy: for the children are come to the birth, and there is not strength to bring forth.
4Heiʻilo ʻe fanongo nai ʻe Sihova ko ho ʻOtua ki he ngaahi lea ʻa Lapisake, ʻaia kuo fekau ʻe he tuʻi ʻo ʻAsilia ko hono ʻeiki ke valoki ʻaki ʻae ʻOtua moʻui, pea ʻe tautea ʻae ngaahi lea ʻaia kuo fanongo ki ai ʻe Sihova ko ho ʻOtua: ko e hiki hake hoʻo hū koeʻuhi ko e kakai ʻoku kei toe.”
4It may be the LORD thy God will hear the words of Rabshakeh, 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 is left.
5Ko ia naʻe haʻu ʻae kau tamaioʻeiki ʻa Hesekaia kia ʻIsaia.
5So the servants of king Hezekiah came to Isaiah.
6¶ Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ʻIsaia kiate kinautolu, “Te mou lea ʻo pehē ki homou ʻeiki, ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova, ʻOua naʻa ke manavahē ki he ngaahi lea kuo ke fanongo ki ai, ʻaia kuo kapekape ʻaki kiate au ʻe he kau tamaioʻeiki ʻoe tuʻi ʻa ʻAsilia.
6¶ And Isaiah said unto them, Thus shall ye say unto your master, Thus saith the LORD , Be not afraid of the words that thou hast heard, wherewith the servants of the king of Assyria have blasphemed me.
7Vakai, te u fakahū kiate ia ha laumālie, pea te ne fanongo ki he ongoongo, pea foki ki hono fonua ʻoʻona; pea te u pule ke tō ia ʻi he heletā ʻi hono fonua ʻoʻona.”
7Behold, I will send a blast upon him, and he shall hear a rumour, and return to his own land; and I will cause him to fall by the sword in his own land.
8¶ Naʻe foki ʻa Lapisake, pea ʻilo ʻoku tau ʻae tuʻi ʻo ʻAsilia mo Lipina: he kuo ne fanongo kuo haʻu ia mei Lakisi.
8¶ So Rabshakeh returned, and found the king of Assyria warring against Libnah: for he had heard that he was departed from Lachish.
9Pea naʻa ne fanongo ki he tala naʻe kau kia Tilaka ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻItiopea, ʻo pehē, ‘ʻOku haʻu ia ke tauʻi koe.’ Pea ʻi heʻene fanongo ki ai, naʻa ne fekau atu ʻae kau talafekau kia Hesekaia, ʻo pehē,
9And he heard say concerning Tirhakah king of Ethiopia, He is come forth to make war with thee. And when he heard it , he sent messengers to Hezekiah, saying,
10“Ke pehē hoʻomou lea kia Hesekaia ko e tuʻi ʻo Siuta, ʻoua naʻa tuku ʻa ho ʻOtua, ʻaia ʻoku ke faʻaki ki ai, ke kākaaʻi koe, ʻo pehē, ‘ʻE ʻikai tukuange ʻa Selūsalema ki he nima ʻoe tuʻi ʻo ʻAsilia.’
10Thus shall ye speak to Hezekiah king of Judah, saying, Let not thy God, in whom thou trustest, deceive thee, saying, Jerusalem shall not be given into the hand of the king of Assyria.
11Vakai, kuo ke fanongo ki he meʻa kuo fai ʻe he ngaahi tuʻi ʻo ʻAsilia ki he ngaahi fonua kotoa pē ʻi he fakaʻauha ʻaupito ʻakinautolu; pea ʻe fakamoʻui koe?
11Behold, thou hast heard what the kings of Assyria have done to all lands by destroying them utterly; and shalt thou be delivered?
12Kuo fakamoʻui ʻe he ngaahi ʻotua ʻoe ngaahi puleʻanga ʻakinautolu naʻe fakaʻauha ʻe heʻeku ngaahi tamai, ko Kosani, mo Holani, mo Lesefi, mo e fānau ʻa Iteni ʻaia naʻe ʻi Tilasa?
12Have 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 Telassar?
13ʻOku ʻi fē ʻae tuʻi ʻo Hamati, pea mo e tuʻi ʻo ʻAapati, pea mo e tuʻi ʻoe kolo ko Sifaveimi, mo Hena, mo Iva?”
13Where is the king of Hamath, and the king of Arphad, and the king of the city of Sepharvaim, Hena, and Ivah?
14¶ Pea naʻe maʻu ʻe Hesekaia ʻae tohi mei he nima ʻoe kau talafekau, pea lau ia: pea naʻe ʻalu hake ʻa Hesekaia ki he fale ʻo Sihova, ʻo ne folahi ia ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova.
14¶ And Hezekiah received the letter from the hand of the messengers, and read it: and Hezekiah went up unto the house of the LORD , and spread it before the LORD .
15Pea naʻe hū ʻa Hesekaia kia Sihova, ʻo pehē,
15And Hezekiah prayed unto the LORD , saying,
16“ʻE Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau, ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻaia ʻoku ʻafio ʻi he vahaʻa ʻoe ongo Selupi, ko koe ko e ʻOtua, ʻio, ko koe tokotaha pe, ʻi he ngaahi puleʻanga ʻo māmani: ko koe naʻe ngaohi ʻae langi mo māmani.
16O LORD of hosts, God of Israel, that dwellest between the cherubims, thou art the God, even thou alone, of all the kingdoms of the earth: thou hast made heaven and earth.
17Fakaongo mai ho fofonga, ʻe Sihova, pea fanongo; fakaʻā, ʻe Sihova, ho fofonga, pea ke ʻafioʻi: pea fanongo ki he lea kotoa pē ʻa Senakalipe, ʻaia kuo fekau ke valoki ʻaki ʻae ʻOtua moʻui.
17Incline thine ear, O LORD , and hear; open thine eyes, O LORD , and see: and hear all the words of Sennacherib, which hath sent to reproach the living God.
18Ko e moʻoni, ʻE Sihova, ko e ngaahi tuʻi ʻo ʻAsilia kuo nau fakaʻauha ʻae ngaahi puleʻanga kotoa pē, mo honau ngaahi fonua,
18Of a truth, LORD , the kings of Assyria have laid waste all the nations, and their countries,
19Pea kuo lī honau ngaahi ʻotua ki he afi: he naʻe ʻikai ko ha ʻotua ʻakinautolu, ka ko e ngāue ʻae nima ʻoe tangata, ko e ʻakau mo e maka: ko ia kuo nau fakaʻauha ai ʻakinautolu.
19And 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.
20Ko ia, ʻE Sihova ko homau ʻOtua, fakahaofi ʻakimautolu mei hono nima, koeʻuhi ke ʻilo ʻe he ngaahi puleʻanga kotoa pē ʻo māmani ko koe ko Sihova, ʻio, ko koe tokotaha pe.”
20Now therefore, O LORD our God, save us from his hand, that all the kingdoms of the earth may know that thou art the LORD , even thou only.
21¶ Pea naʻe toki fekau ʻe ʻIsaia ko e foha ʻo ʻAmosi kia Hesekaia, ʻo pehē, “ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli, ko e meʻa ʻi hoʻo hū kiate au koeʻuhi ko Senakalipe ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻAsilia:
21¶ Then Isaiah the son of Amoz sent unto Hezekiah, saying, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, Whereas thou hast prayed to me against Sennacherib king of Assyria:
22Ko eni ʻae lea ʻaia kuo folofolaʻaki ʻe Sihova ʻoku kau kiate ia; ‘Ko e taʻahine, ko e ʻofefine ʻo Saione, kuo fehiʻa kiate koe, pea kata manuki kiate koe: ko e ʻofefine ʻo Selūsalema, kuo ne kalokalo hono ʻulu kiate koe.
22This is the word which 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.
23Ko hai ia kuo ke manukiʻi mo kapeʻi? Pea kuo ke hiki hake ho leʻo kia hai, pea hiki mo ho mata ki ʻolunga? ʻIo, ki he tokotaha māʻoniʻoni ʻo ʻIsileli.
23Whom 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.
24Kuo ke manukiʻi ʻe hoʻo kau tamaioʻeiki ʻa Sihova, pea kuo ke pehē, ʻI he tokolahi ʻo ʻeku ngaahi saliote kuo u haʻu ki he māʻolunga ʻoe moʻunga, ki he tafaʻaki ʻo Lepanoni, pea te u tuʻusi ki lalo ʻae ngaahi sita māʻolunga ʻo ia, pea mo e ngaahi ʻakau ko e fea lelei ʻo ia: pea te u hū ki he māʻolunga ʻo hono ngaahi ngataʻanga, mo e vao ʻakau ʻo hono Kameli.
24By thy servants hast thou reproached the Lord, and hast said, By the multitude of my chariots am I come up to the height of the mountains, to the sides of Lebanon; and I will cut down the tall cedars thereof, and the choice fir trees thereof: and I will enter into the height of his border, and the forest of his Carmel.
25Kuo u keli, pea inu vai, pea kuo u fakamaha ʻaki hoku ʻaofi vaʻe ʻae ngaahi vaitafe kotoa pē ʻoe ngaahi kolo kuo kāpui ʻe he tau.
25I have digged, and drunk water; and with the sole of my feet have I dried up all the rivers of the besieged places.
26ʻIkai kuo ke fanongo fuoloa, kuo u fai ia ʻe au; pea ʻi he ngaahi kuonga ʻi muʻa, naʻaku tuʻutuʻuni ki ai? ko eni, kuo u fakahoko ia, koeʻuhi ke ke liliu ʻae ngaahi kolo kuo teu tau, ko e ngaahi tuʻunga fale kuo ʻauha.
26Hast 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 defenced cities into ruinous heaps.
27Ko ia naʻe mālohi siʻi pe hoʻonau kakai, naʻa nau manavahē pea puputuʻu: naʻa nau hangē ko e mohuku ʻoe ngoue, pea hangē ko e ʻakau mata, ʻo hangē ko e mohuku ʻi he tuʻa fale, pea hangē ko e uite kuo mahunu ʻi he teʻeki ke tupu hake.
27Therefore 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.
28Ka ʻoku ou ʻilo ho nofoʻanga, pea mo hoʻo ʻalu kituʻa, mo hoʻo hū ki fale, mo hoʻo ʻita kiate au.
28But I know thy abode, and thy going out, and thy coming in, and thy rage against me.
29Ko e meʻa ʻi he ʻalu hake ki hoku fofonga hoʻo ʻita kiate au, mo hoʻo fielahi, ko ia te u ʻai ʻeku mātaʻu ki ho avaʻi ihu, mo ʻeku meʻa taʻofi ʻi ho loungutu, pea te u fakafoki koe ʻi he hala ko ia ʻaia ne ke haʻu ai.
29Because thy rage against me, and thy tumult, is come up into mine ears, therefore will I 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.
30Pea ko e fakaʻilonga eni kiate koe, Te mou kai ʻi he taʻu ni ʻaia ʻoku tupu ʻiate ia pe; pea ʻi hono ua ʻoe taʻu ʻaia ʻoku tupu mei ai: pea ʻi hono tolu ʻoe taʻu te mou tūtuuʻi, pea tuʻusi mai, pea tō ʻae ngaahi ngoue vaine, pea kai ʻae ngaahi fua ʻo ia.
30And this shall be a sign unto thee, Ye shall eat this year such as groweth of itself; and the second year that which springeth of the same: and in the third year sow ye, and reap, and plant vineyards, and eat the fruit thereof.
31Pea ko e toe ʻoe fale ʻo Siuta, kuo hao ʻe toe aka ki lalo, pea fua ʻi ʻolunga:
31And the remnant that is escaped of the house of Judah shall again take root downward, and bear fruit upward:
32Koeʻuhi ʻe ʻalu ʻi Selūsalema ha toenga kakai, pea ko kinautolu kuo hao ʻi he moʻunga ko Saione: ko e ʻofa ʻa Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau te ne fai ʻae meʻa ni.
32For 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.
33Ko ia ʻoku pehē ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova ʻaia ʻoku kau ki he tuʻi ʻo ʻAsilia, ‘ʻE ʻikai te ne haʻu ki he kolo ni, pe fanaʻi ha ngahau ki ai, pe haʻu ki ai ʻaki ʻae ngaahi fakaū pe fokotuʻu ha tetanu ki ai.
33Therefore 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 shields, nor cast a bank against it.
34ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova, ʻI he hala naʻa ne haʻu ai, ʻi he hala ko ia te ne foki atu ai, pea ʻe ʻikai te ne haʻu ki he kolo ni.
34By the way that he came, by the same shall he return, and shall not come into this city, saith the LORD .
35He te u maluʻi ʻae kolo ni ʻo fakamoʻui ia koeʻuhi ko au, pea koeʻuhi ko ʻeku tamaioʻeiki ko Tevita.’”
35For I will defend this city to save it for mine own sake, and for my servant David’s sake.
36¶ Pea naʻe toki ʻalu atu ʻae ʻāngelo ʻo Sihova, ʻo ne taaʻi ʻi he nofoʻanga tau ʻoe kau ʻAsilia ʻae tokotaha kilu mā toko valu mano ma toko nima afe: pea ʻi he tuʻu hengihengi hake ʻae kakai, vakai, kuo nau mate, ko e ʻangaʻanga kotoa pē.
36Then the angel of the LORD went forth, and smote in the camp of the Assyrians a hundred and fourscore and five thousand: and when they arose early in the morning, behold, they were all dead corpses.
37¶ Ko ia naʻe ʻalu ai ʻa Senakalipe ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻAsilia, ʻo ne ʻalu, ʻo foki atu, pea nofo ʻi Ninive.
37¶ So Sennacherib king of Assyria departed, and went and returned, and dwelt at Nineveh.
38Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, lolotonga ʻene lotu ʻi he fale ʻo Nisiloki ko hono ʻotua, naʻe taaʻi ia ʻe hono ongo foha ko ʻAtilameleki mo Salisa ʻaki ʻae heletā pea ne na hao ki he fonua ko ʻAminia pea naʻe pule hono foha ko ʻAsahatoni ko hono fetongi.
38And 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.
