2 Chronicles 32-33
Maori Bible
32 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, no te kitenga o Hetekia kua tae mai a Henakeripi, e anga ana hoki ki te whawhai ki Hiruharama,
3 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 Tera atu ano ta ana tangata i korero kino ai mo te Atua, mo Ihowa, mo tana tangata ano, mo Hetekia.
17 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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.
33 Tekau ma rua nga tau o Manahi i tona kingitanga, a e rima tekau ma rima ona tau i kingi ai ia ki Hiruharama.
2 A he kino tana mahi ki te titiro a Ihowa, i rite ki nga mea whakarihariha a nga iwi i peia nei e Ihowa i te aroaro o nga tama a Iharaira.
3 I hanga ano hoki e ia nga wahi tiketike i wahia e tona papa, e Hetekia: i whakaara i nga aata ki nga Paara, i hanga Aherimi; koropiko ana ia ki te ope o te rangi, mahi ana ki a ratou.
4 I hanga ano e ia etahi aata ki te whare o Ihowa, ki ta Ihowa i ki ra, Ko Hiruharama hei waihotanga mo toku ingoa ake ake.
5 I hanga ano e ia etahi aata ma te ope katoa o te rangi ki nga marae e rua o te whare o Ihowa.
6 Meatia ana e ia ana tamariki kia tika na waenganui i te ahi i te aroaro o te tama a Hinomi, rapua ana e ia he tohu i nga kapua, i nga nakahi; kei te makutu ano ia, kei te whai ki nga atua maori, ki nga mata maori: nui atu tana kino i mahi ai ki t e titiro a Ihowa, hei whakapataritari mona.
7 I whakaturia ano e ia te whakapakoko, te ahua i hanga e ia, ki te whare o te Atua, ki ta te Atua i ki ra ki a Rawiri raua ko tana tama, ko Horomona, Hei tenei whare, hei Hiruharama i whiriwhiria nei e ahau i roto i nga iwi katoa o Iharaira, ahau waiho ai i toku ingoa a ake ake:
8 A heoi aku whakanekehanga i te waewae o Iharaira i te whenua i whakaritea e ahau mo o koutou matua; kia mau raia ratou ki te mahi i nga mea katoa i whakahaua e ahau ki a ratou, kia rite ki te ture katoa, ki nga tikanga, ki nga whakaritenga i whak apuakina nei e Mohi.
9 Heoi whakakotititia ana e Manahi a Hura me nga tangata o Hiruharama kia nui atu ta ratou mahi kino i ta nga iwi i huna nei e Ihowa i te aroaro o nga tama a Iharaira.
10 I korero hoki a Ihowa ki a Manahi ratou ko tona iwi; heoi kihai ratou i rongo.
11 Na reira i kawea mai ai e Ihowa ki runga ki a ratou nga rangatira o te ope o te kingi o Ahiria; a ka mau i a ratou a Manahi i te taura maitai; herea iho ki te mekameka, kawea ana ki Papurona.
12 Na i a ia i te he, ka inoi ia ki a Ihowa, ki tona Atua, ka whakaiti rawa i a ia i te aroaro o te Atua o ona matua,
13 Inoi ana ki a ia; a ka tahuri tera ki a ia, ka rongo ki tana inoi. Na ka whakahokia ia ki Hiruharama, ki tona kingitanga. Katahi ka mohio a Manahi ko Ihowa te Atua.
14 I muri i tenei ka hanga e ia he taiepa i waho o te pa o Rawiri, i te taha ki te hauauru o Kihona, ki te awaawa, a tae noa ki te tomokanga i te kuwaha ika; a taiepatia ana a Opere a whawhe noa, hanga ana e ia kia tiketike rawa. I whakanohoia ano e ia etahi rangatira maia ki nga pa taiepa katoa o Hura.
15 I whakakahoretia ano e ia nga atua ke, me te whakapakoko i roto i te whare o Ihowa, me nga aata katoa i hanga e ia ki te maunga o te whare o Ihowa ki Hiruharama; akiritia atu ana e ia ki waho o te pa.
16 I hanga ano e ia te aata a Ihowa; patua iho e ia ki runga he patunga mo te pai, a mo te whakawhetai, i ki atu ano ki a Hura kia mahi ki a Ihowa, ki te Atua o Iharaira.
17 I patu whakahere ano ia te iwi i runga i nga wahi tiketike; otiia ki a Ihowa, ki to ratou Atua anake.
18 Na, ko era atu meatanga a Manahi, me tana inoi ki tona Atua, me nga korero a nga matakite i korero nei ki a ia i runga i te ingoa o Ihowa, o te Atua o Iharaira, nana, kei nga pukapuka o nga mahi a nga kingi o Iharaira.
19 Na, ko tana inoi, me to te Atua tahuritanga ki a ia, me tona hara katoa, me tona he, me nga wahi i hanga ai e ia nga wahi tiketike, i whakaturia ai e ia nga Aherimi, me nga whakapakoko i te mea kiano ia i whakaiti i a ia, nana, kei te tuhituhi i roto i nga korero a Hohai.
20 Heoi kua moe a Manahi ki ona matua, a tanumia iho ki tona whare, a ko tana tama, ko Amono, te kingi i muri i a ia.
21 E rua tekau ma rua nga tau o Amono i tona kingitanga, a e rua nga tau i kingi ai ia ki Hiruharama.
22 A he kino tana mahi ki ta Ihowa titiro, i rite ki ta tona papa, ki ta Manahi i mea ai: i patu whakahere hoki a Amono ki nga whakapakoko katoa i hanga e tona papa, e Manahi, a mahi ana ki a ratou.
23 Kihai hoki i whakaiti i a ia ki te aroaro o Ihowa, kihai i pera me tona papa, me Manahi i whakaiti nei; heoi nui noa atu te he o taua Amono nei.
24 Na, kua whakatupuria he he mona e ana tangata; patua iho ia ki roto ki tona ake whare.
25 Otiia i patua e te iwi o te whenua nga tangata katoa i whakatupuria ai te he mo Kingi Amono; a ka meinga e te iwi o te whenua tana tama, a Hohia, hei kingi i muri i a ia.

2 Chronicles 32-33
New International Version
Sennacherib Threatens Jerusalem(A)(B)
32 After all that Hezekiah had so faithfully done, Sennacherib(C) king of Assyria came and invaded Judah. He laid siege to the fortified cities, thinking to conquer them for himself. 2 When Hezekiah saw that Sennacherib had come and that he intended to wage war against Jerusalem,(D) 3 he consulted with his officials and military staff about blocking off the water from the springs outside the city, and they helped him. 4 They gathered a large group of people who blocked all the springs(E) and the stream that flowed through the land. “Why should the kings[a] of Assyria come and find plenty of water?” they said. 5 Then he worked hard repairing all the broken sections of the wall(F) and building towers on it. He built another wall outside that one and reinforced the terraces[b](G) of the City of David. He also made large numbers of weapons(H) and shields.
6 He appointed military officers over the people and assembled them before him in the square at the city gate and encouraged them with these words: 7 “Be strong and courageous.(I) Do not be afraid or discouraged(J) because of the king of Assyria and the vast army with him, for there is a greater power with us than with him.(K) 8 With him is only the arm of flesh,(L) but with us(M) is the Lord our God to help us and to fight our battles.”(N) And the people gained confidence from what Hezekiah the king of Judah said.
9 Later, when Sennacherib king of Assyria and all his forces were laying siege to Lachish,(O) he sent his officers to Jerusalem with this message for Hezekiah king of Judah and for all the people of Judah who were there:
10 “This is what Sennacherib king of Assyria says: On what are you basing your confidence,(P) that you remain in Jerusalem under siege? 11 When Hezekiah says, ‘The Lord our God will save us from the hand of the king of Assyria,’ he is misleading(Q) you, to let you die of hunger and thirst. 12 Did not Hezekiah himself remove this god’s high places and altars, saying to Judah and Jerusalem, ‘You must worship before one altar(R) and burn sacrifices on it’?
13 “Do you not know what I and my predecessors have done to all the peoples of the other lands? Were the gods of those nations ever able to deliver their land from my hand?(S) 14 Who of all the gods of these nations that my predecessors destroyed has been able to save his people from me? How then can your god deliver you from my hand? 15 Now do not let Hezekiah deceive(T) you and mislead you like this. Do not believe him, for no god of any nation or kingdom has been able to deliver(U) his people from my hand or the hand of my predecessors.(V) How much less will your god deliver you from my hand!”
16 Sennacherib’s officers spoke further against the Lord God and against his servant Hezekiah. 17 The king also wrote letters(W) ridiculing(X) the Lord, the God of Israel, and saying this against him: “Just as the gods(Y) of the peoples of the other lands did not rescue their people from my hand, so the god of Hezekiah will not rescue his people from my hand.” 18 Then they called out in Hebrew to the people of Jerusalem who were on the wall, to terrify them and make them afraid in order to capture the city. 19 They spoke about the God of Jerusalem as they did about the gods of the other peoples of the world—the work of human hands.(Z)
20 King Hezekiah and the prophet Isaiah son of Amoz cried out in prayer(AA) to heaven about this. 21 And the Lord sent an angel,(AB) who annihilated all the fighting men and the commanders and officers in the camp of the Assyrian king. So he withdrew to his own land in disgrace. And when he went into the temple of his god, some of his sons, his own flesh and blood, cut him down with the sword.(AC)
22 So the Lord saved Hezekiah and the people of Jerusalem from the hand of Sennacherib king of Assyria and from the hand of all others. He took care of them[c] on every side. 23 Many brought offerings to Jerusalem for the Lord and valuable gifts(AD) for Hezekiah king of Judah. From then on he was highly regarded by all the nations.
Hezekiah’s Pride, Success and Death(AE)
24 In those days Hezekiah became ill and was at the point of death. He prayed to the Lord, who answered him and gave him a miraculous sign.(AF) 25 But Hezekiah’s heart was proud(AG) and he did not respond to the kindness shown him; therefore the Lord’s wrath(AH) was on him and on Judah and Jerusalem. 26 Then Hezekiah repented(AI) of the pride of his heart, as did the people of Jerusalem; therefore the Lord’s wrath did not come on them during the days of Hezekiah.(AJ)
27 Hezekiah had very great wealth and honor,(AK) and he made treasuries for his silver and gold and for his precious stones, spices, shields and all kinds of valuables. 28 He also made buildings to store the harvest of grain, new wine and olive oil; and he made stalls for various kinds of cattle, and pens for the flocks. 29 He built villages and acquired great numbers of flocks and herds, for God had given him very great riches.(AL)
30 It was Hezekiah who blocked(AM) the upper outlet of the Gihon(AN) spring and channeled(AO) the water down to the west side of the City of David. He succeeded in everything he undertook. 31 But when envoys were sent by the rulers of Babylon(AP) to ask him about the miraculous sign(AQ) that had occurred in the land, God left him to test(AR) him and to know everything that was in his heart.
32 The other events of Hezekiah’s reign and his acts of devotion are written in the vision of the prophet Isaiah son of Amoz in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel. 33 Hezekiah rested with his ancestors and was buried on the hill where the tombs of David’s descendants are. All Judah and the people of Jerusalem honored him when he died. And Manasseh his son succeeded him as king.
Manasseh King of Judah(AS)(AT)
33 Manasseh(AU) was twelve years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem fifty-five years. 2 He did evil in the eyes of the Lord,(AV) following the detestable(AW) practices of the nations the Lord had driven out before the Israelites. 3 He rebuilt the high places his father Hezekiah had demolished; he also erected altars to the Baals and made Asherah poles.(AX) He bowed down(AY) to all the starry hosts and worshiped them. 4 He built altars in the temple of the Lord, of which the Lord had said, “My Name(AZ) will remain in Jerusalem forever.” 5 In both courts of the temple of the Lord,(BA) he built altars to all the starry hosts. 6 He sacrificed his children(BB) in the fire in the Valley of Ben Hinnom, practiced divination and witchcraft, sought omens, and consulted mediums(BC) and spiritists.(BD) He did much evil in the eyes of the Lord, arousing his anger.
7 He took the image he had made and put it in God’s temple,(BE) of which God had said to David and to his son Solomon, “In this temple and in Jerusalem, which I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, I will put my Name forever. 8 I will not again make the feet of the Israelites leave the land(BF) I assigned to your ancestors, if only they will be careful to do everything I commanded them concerning all the laws, decrees and regulations given through Moses.” 9 But Manasseh led Judah and the people of Jerusalem astray, so that they did more evil than the nations the Lord had destroyed before the Israelites.(BG)
10 The Lord spoke to Manasseh and his people, but they paid no attention. 11 So the Lord brought against them the army commanders of the king of Assyria, who took Manasseh prisoner,(BH) put a hook(BI) in his nose, bound him with bronze shackles(BJ) and took him to Babylon. 12 In his distress he sought the favor of the Lord his God and humbled(BK) himself greatly before the God of his ancestors. 13 And when he prayed to him, the Lord was moved by his entreaty and listened to his plea; so he brought him back to Jerusalem and to his kingdom. Then Manasseh knew that the Lord is God.
14 Afterward he rebuilt the outer wall of the City of David, west of the Gihon(BL) spring in the valley, as far as the entrance of the Fish Gate(BM) and encircling the hill of Ophel;(BN) he also made it much higher. He stationed military commanders in all the fortified cities in Judah.
15 He got rid of the foreign gods and removed(BO) the image from the temple of the Lord, as well as all the altars he had built on the temple hill and in Jerusalem; and he threw them out of the city. 16 Then he restored the altar of the Lord and sacrificed fellowship offerings and thank offerings(BP) on it, and told Judah to serve the Lord, the God of Israel. 17 The people, however, continued to sacrifice at the high places, but only to the Lord their God.
18 The other events of Manasseh’s reign, including his prayer to his God and the words the seers spoke to him in the name of the Lord, the God of Israel, are written in the annals of the kings of Israel.[d] 19 His prayer and how God was moved by his entreaty, as well as all his sins and unfaithfulness, and the sites where he built high places and set up Asherah poles and idols before he humbled(BQ) himself—all these are written in the records of the seers.[e](BR) 20 Manasseh rested with his ancestors and was buried(BS) in his palace. And Amon his son succeeded him as king.
Amon King of Judah(BT)
21 Amon(BU) was twenty-two years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem two years. 22 He did evil in the eyes of the Lord, as his father Manasseh had done. Amon worshiped and offered sacrifices to all the idols Manasseh had made. 23 But unlike his father Manasseh, he did not humble(BV) himself before the Lord; Amon increased his guilt.
24 Amon’s officials conspired against him and assassinated him in his palace. 25 Then the people(BW) of the land killed all who had plotted against King Amon, and they made Josiah his son king in his place.
