36 Na no te tekau ma wha o nga tau o Kingi Hetekia ka whakaekea mai nga pa taiepa katoa o Hura e Henakeripi kingi o Ahiria, a riro ana i a ia.
2 Na ka tonoa mai e te kingi o Ahiria a Rapahake i Rakihi ki a Kingi Hetekia, ki Hiruharama; he nui te ope. Na tu ana ia ki te awakeri o to runga puna wai, ki te ara i te mara o te kaihoroi kakahu.
3 Na ka puta atu ki a ia a Eriakimi, tama a Hirikia, rangatira o te whare, ratou ko Hepena, kaituhituhi, ko Ioaha, tama a Ahapa, kaiwhakamahara.
4 Na ka mea a Rapahake ki a ratou, Tena, mea atu ki a Hetekia, ko te kupu tenei a te kingi nui, a te kingi o Ahiria, He aha tenei whakawhirinaki e whakawhirinaki na koe?
5 Ki taku, ko tau ngarahu, me tou kaha mo te whawhai he kupu noa iho. Ko wai tou whakawhirinakitanga, i whakakeke ai koe ki ahau?
6 Na e whakawhirinaki na koe ki tena kakaho whati hei tokotoko, ki Ihipa; ki te whakahinga atu te tangata ki reira, ka ngoto ki tona ringa, na kua tu. Ka pera ano a Parao kingi o Ihipa ki te hunga katoa e okioki ana ki a ia.
7 Na ki te mea koe ki ahau, ko Ihowa, ko to matou Atua ta matou e whakawhirinaki nei: he teka ianei nana nga wahi tiketike, me nga aata e whakakahoretia na e Hetekia, i mea na ki a Hura raua ko Hiruharama, Hei mua i tenei aata koutou koropiko ai?
8 Na, tena ra, homai aianei he utu pupuri ki toku ariki, ki te kingi o Ahiria, a ka hoatu e ahau etahi hoiho ki a koe, kia rua mano, ki te taea e koe te whakanoho he kaieke ki runga ki a ratou.
9 A me pehea e hoki ai i a koe te kanohi o tetahi rangatira o nga mea ririki rawa o nga pononga a toku ariki; i a koe ka whakawhirinaki ki Ihipa ki te hariata, ki te kaieke hoiho mau?
10 I ngaro ranei a Ihowa i toku haerenga mai ki te huna i tenei whenua? I mea mai a Ihowa ki ahau, Haere ki tera whenua huna ai.
11 Na ka mea a Eriakimi ratou ko Hepena, ko Ioaha, ki a Rapahake, Tena, korero Hiriani mai ki au pononga; e mohiotia ana hoki tena reo e matou, kaua hoki e korero reo Hurai mai ki a matou, i te mea e whakarongo ana te iwi nei i runga i te taiepa.
12 Ano ra ko Rapahake, I tonoa mai ranei ahau e toku ariki ki tou ariki, ki a koe ranei, hei korero i enei kupu? he teka ianei ki nga tangata e noho ana i runga i te taiepa, kia kainga e ratou to ratou paru, kia inumia ano to ratou mimi, ara e kout ou tahi?
13 Na tu ana a Rapahake, a nui atu tona reo ki te karanga i te reo o nga Hurai; ka mea, Whakarongo ki nga kupu a te kingi nui, a te kingi o Ahiria.
14 Ko te kupu tenei a te kingi, Kei tinihangatia koutou e Hetekia; e kore hoki koutou e taea e ia te whakaora.
15 Kei meinga koutou e Hetekia kia whakawhirinaki ki a Ihowa, i a ia e ki na, Tera tatou ka whakaorangia e Ihowa; e kore tenei pa e tukua ki te ringa o te kingi o Ahiria.
16 Kaua e rongo ki a Hetekia; ko te kupu hoki tenei a te kingi o Ahiria, Houhia tau rongo ki ahau, haere mai hoki ki waho, ki ahau; ka kai ai koutou i nga hua o tana waina, o tana waina, o tana piki, o tana piki, ka inu ano i te wai o tana puna, o tana puna:
17 Kia tae atu ra ano ahau ki te tiki atu i a koutou ki te whenua e penei ana me to koutou nei whenua, ki te whenua witi, waina, ki te whenua taro, mara waina.
18 Kei whakapatia koutou e Hetekia, ki te mea ia, Ma Ihowa tatou e whakaora. I whakaorangia ranei e tetahi o nga atua o nga tauiwi tona whenua i te ringa o te kingi o Ahiria?
19 Kei hea nga atua o Hamata, o Arapara? kei hea nga atua o Heparawaima? i whakaorangia ranei e ratou a Hamaria i toku ringa?
20 Na wai o nga atua katoa o enei whenua i whakaora to ratou whenua i toku ringa, e whakaorangia ai e Ihowa a Hiruharama i toku ringa?
21 Heoi whakarongo kau ana ratou, kihai i utua tana; ko ta te kingi hoki tena i ako ai; i ki ia, Kaua e utua tana.
22 Na haere ana e Eriakimi, tama a Hirikia, rangatira o te whare ratou ko Hepena kaituhituhi, ko Ioaha, tama a Ahapa, kaiwhakamahara, ki a Hetekia, he mea haehae o ratou kakahu, a korerotia ana e ratou ki a ia nga kupu a Rapahake.

Sennacherib Threatens Jerusalem(A)
36 In the fourteenth year of King Hezekiah’s(B) reign, Sennacherib(C) king of Assyria attacked all the fortified cities of Judah and captured them.(D) 2 Then the king of Assyria sent his field commander with a large army from Lachish(E) to King Hezekiah at Jerusalem. When the commander stopped at the aqueduct of the Upper Pool, on the road to the Launderer’s Field,(F) 3 Eliakim(G) son of Hilkiah the palace administrator,(H) Shebna(I) the secretary,(J) and Joah(K) son of Asaph the recorder(L) went out to him.
4 The field commander said to them, “Tell Hezekiah:
“‘This is what the great king, the king of Assyria, says: On what are you basing this confidence of yours? 5 You say you have counsel and might for war—but you speak only empty words. On whom are you depending, that you rebel(M) against me? 6 Look, I know you are depending(N) on Egypt,(O) that splintered reed(P) of a staff, which pierces the hand of anyone who leans on it! Such is Pharaoh king of Egypt to all who depend on him. 7 But if you say to me, “We are depending(Q) on the Lord our God”—isn’t he the one whose high places and altars Hezekiah removed,(R) saying to Judah and Jerusalem, “You must worship before this altar”?(S)
8 “‘Come now, make a bargain with my master, the king of Assyria: I will give you two thousand horses(T)—if you can put riders on them! 9 How then can you repulse one officer of the least of my master’s officials, even though you are depending on Egypt(U) for chariots(V) and horsemen[a]?(W) 10 Furthermore, have I come to attack and destroy this land without the Lord? The Lord himself told(X) me to march against this country and destroy it.’”
11 Then Eliakim, Shebna and Joah(Y) said to the field commander, “Please speak to your servants in Aramaic,(Z) since we understand it. Don’t speak to us in Hebrew in the hearing of the people on the wall.”
12 But the commander replied, “Was it only to your master and you that my master sent me to say these things, and not to the people sitting on the wall—who, like you, will have to eat their own excrement and drink their own urine?(AA)”
13 Then the commander stood and called out in Hebrew,(AB) “Hear the words of the great king, the king of Assyria!(AC) 14 This is what the king says: Do not let Hezekiah deceive(AD) you. He cannot deliver you! 15 Do not let Hezekiah persuade you to trust in the Lord when he says, ‘The Lord will surely deliver(AE) us; this city will not be given into the hand of the king of Assyria.’(AF)
16 “Do not listen to Hezekiah. This is what the king of Assyria says: Make peace with me and come out to me. Then each of you will eat fruit from your own vine and fig tree(AG) and drink water from your own cistern,(AH) 17 until I come and take you to a land like your own(AI)—a land of grain and new wine,(AJ) a land of bread and vineyards.
18 “Do not let Hezekiah mislead you when he says, ‘The Lord will deliver us.’ Have the gods of any nations ever delivered their lands from the hand of the king of Assyria? 19 Where are the gods of Hamath and Arpad?(AK) Where are the gods of Sepharvaim?(AL) Have they rescued Samaria(AM) from my hand? 20 Who of all the gods(AN) of these countries have been able to save their lands from me? How then can the Lord deliver Jerusalem from my hand?”(AO)
21 But the people remained silent and said nothing in reply, because the king had commanded, “Do not answer him.”(AP)
22 Then Eliakim(AQ) son of Hilkiah the palace administrator, Shebna the secretary and Joah son of Asaph the recorder(AR) went to Hezekiah, with their clothes torn,(AS) and told him what the field commander had said.

36 Now it came to pass in the fourteenth year of king Hezekiah, that Sennacherib king of Assyria came up against all the defenced cities of Judah, and took them.
2 And the king of Assyria sent Rabshakeh from Lachish to Jerusalem unto king Hezekiah with a great army. And he stood by the conduit of the upper pool in the highway of the fuller's field.
3 Then came forth unto him Eliakim, Hilkiah's son, which was over the house, and Shebna the scribe, and Joah, Asaph's son, the recorder.
4 And Rabshakeh said unto them, Say ye now to Hezekiah, Thus saith the great king, the king of Assyria, What confidence is this wherein thou trustest?
5 I say, sayest thou, (but they are but vain words) I have counsel and strength for war: now on whom dost thou trust, that thou rebellest against me?
6 Lo, thou trustest in the staff of this broken reed, on Egypt; whereon if a man lean, it will go into his hand, and pierce it: so is Pharaoh king of Egypt to all that trust in him.
7 But if thou say to me, We trust in the Lord our God: is it not he, whose high places and whose altars Hezekiah hath taken away, and said to Judah and to Jerusalem, Ye shall worship before this altar?
8 Now therefore give pledges, I pray thee, to my master the king of Assyria, and I will give thee two thousand horses, if thou be able on thy part to set riders upon them.
9 How then wilt thou turn away the face of one captain of the least of my master's servants, and put thy trust on Egypt for chariots and for horsemen?
10 And am I now come up without the Lord against this land to destroy it? the Lord said unto me, Go up against this land, and destroy it.
11 Then said Eliakim and Shebna and Joah unto Rabshakeh, Speak, I pray thee, unto thy servants in the Syrian language; for we understand it: and speak not to us in the Jews' language, in the ears of the people that are on the wall.
12 But Rabshakeh said, Hath my master sent me to thy master and to thee to speak these words? hath he not sent me to the men that sit upon the wall, that they may eat their own dung, and drink their own piss with you?
13 Then Rabshakeh stood, and cried with a loud voice in the Jews' language, and said, Hear ye the words of the great king, the king of Assyria.
14 Thus saith the king, Let not Hezekiah deceive you: for he shall not be able to deliver you.
15 Neither let Hezekiah make you trust in the Lord, saying, The Lord will surely deliver us: this city shall not be delivered into the hand of the king of Assyria.
16 Hearken not to Hezekiah: for thus saith the king of Assyria, Make an agreement with me by a present, and come out to me: and eat ye every one of his vine, and every one of his fig tree, and drink ye every one the waters of his own cistern;
17 Until I come and take you away to a land like your own land, a land of corn and wine, a land of bread and vineyards.
18 Beware lest Hezekiah persuade you, saying, the Lord will deliver us. Hath any of the gods of the nations delivered his land out of the hand of the king of Assyria?
19 Where are the gods of Hamath and Arphad? where are the gods of Sepharvaim? and have they delivered Samaria out of my hand?
20 Who are they among all the gods of these lands, that have delivered their land out of my hand, that the Lord should deliver Jerusalem out of my hand?
21 But they held their peace, and answered him not a word: for the king's commandment was, saying, Answer him not.
22 Then came Eliakim, the son of Hilkiah, that was over the household, and Shebna the scribe, and Joah, the son of Asaph, the recorder, to Hezekiah with their clothes rent, and told him the words of Rabshakeh.
