2 Siangpahrang 20

1 To nathuem ah Hezekiah loe ngannat moe, duek duih. Amoz capa tahmaa Isaiah loe anih khaeah caeh moe, anih khaeah, Nang loe na hing mak ai, na duek han oh boeh pongah, na imlawk to kahoih ah pakuem ah, tiah Angraeng mah thuih, tiah a naa.

In those days Hezekiah was ill and near death. And Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amoz, came to him, and said to him, The Lord says, Put your house in order, for your death is near.

2 Hezekiah loe tapang bangah angqoi moe, Angraeng khaeah lawkthuih.

Then, turning his face to the wall, he made his prayer to the Lord, saying,

3 Aw Angraeng, Na hmaa ah oepthohhaih hoi palungthin boih hoiah kang bok moe, na mikhnukah ka sak ih kahoih hmuen to pahnet hmah, tiah Hezekiah mah palungsae qahhaih hoiah lawkthuih.

O Lord, keep in mind how I have been true to you with all my heart, and have done what is good in your eyes. And Hezekiah gave way to bitter weeping.

4 Isaiah mah siangpahrang im longhma tacawt taak ai naah, Angraeng ih lok anih khaeah phak.

Now before Isaiah had gone out of the middle of the town, the word of the Lord came to him, saying,

5 Caeh let loe, kai kami zaehoikung Hezekiah khaeah, Nam pa David ih Sithaw mah hae tiah thuih; na lawkthuihaih lok to ka thaih moe, na mikkhraetui to ka hnuk boeh; ngan kang tuisak let han; vaihi hoi ni thumto naah Angraeng ih im ah na caeh tih.

Go back and say to Hezekiah, the ruler of my people, The Lord, the God of David your father, says, Your prayer has come to my ears, and I have seen your weeping; see, I will make you well: on the third day you will go up to the house of the Lord.

6 Na hinghaih saning hatlai pangato kang patomh pae han; nangmah hoi hae vangpui hae Assyria ban thung hoiah kang pahlong han; kaimah hoi ka tamna David pongah hae vangpui hae ka pakaa han, tiah thui paeh, tiah a naa.

I will give you fifteen more years of life; and I will keep you and this town safe from the hands of the king of Assyria; I will keep this town safe, for my honour, and for the honour of my servant David.

7 To pacoengah Isaiah mah, thaiduet mu lak hanah a thuih pae. A thuih pae ih lok baktih toengah sak pae o pacoengah, athlut nuiah a bet pae, to naah ngantui let.

Then Isaiah said, Take a cake of figs. So they took it and put it on his wound, and he got better.

8 Hezekiah mah Isaiah khaeah, Angraeng mah ngan kang tuisak moe, ni thumto pacoengah ka imthung ah na caeh tih, tiah thuih ih lok loe tih hnuksakhaih ih maw? tiah a dueng.

And Hezekiah said to Isaiah, What is to be the sign that the Lord will make me well, and that I will go up to the house of the Lord on the third day?

9 Isaiah mah, Angraeng loe a thuih ih lok baktih toengah sah tih, tiah a naa. Angraeng mah hnuksak ih hmuen loe, Ni tahlip loe hmabangah dikari hato caeh tih maw, to tih ai boeh loe dikari hato hnukbangah amlaem tih? tiah a naa.

And Isaiah said, This is the sign the Lord will give you, that he will do what he has said; will the shade go forward ten degrees or back?

10 Hezekiah mah, Hmabangah kacaeh ni tahlip dikari hato loe kazoidaek hmuen ah ni oh, to tiah na ai ni, hnukbangah dikari hato amlaem let nasoe, tiah a naa.

And Hezekiah said in answer, It is a simple thing for the shade to go forward; but let it go back ten degrees.

11 Tahmaa Isaiah mah Angraeng to kawk; Angraeng mah tahlip to hnukbangah dikari hato amlaemsak let, Ahaz ih ni tahhaih pongah kalaem tangcae tahlip to dikari hato hnukbangah amlaemsak let.

Then Isaiah the prophet made prayer to the Lord, and he made the shade go back ten degrees from its position on the steps of Ahaz.

12 To nathuem ah Babylon siangpahrang Baladan capa Berodak-Baladan mah Hezekiah ngantui ai, tiah thaih pongah, anih han ca hoi tangqum to a pat pae.

At that time, Merodach-baladan, the son of Baladan, king of Babylon, sent letters with an offering to Hezekiah, because he had news that Hezekiah had been ill.

13 Hezekiah mah laicaehnawk to dawt moe, nihcae khaeah, Angmah im ah kaom atho kana sui, phoisa, hmuihoih hoi situinawk, misa angtukhaih aphawnawk hoi angmah hmuenmae patunghaih ahmuen ih hmuennawk to patuek boih; siangpahrang mah siangpahrang im hoi a prae thung ih hmuennawk boih, nihcae khaeah patuek ai ih hmuen tidoeh om ai.

And Hezekiah was glad at their coming and let them see all his store of wealth, the silver and the gold and the spices and the oil of great price, and the house of his arms, and everything there was in his stores; there was nothing in all his house or his kingdom which Hezekiah did not let them see.

14 Tahmaa Isaiah loe siangpahrang Hezekiah khaeah caeh moe, anih khaeah, Hae kaminawk mah timaw thuih o, naa bang hoiah maw angzoh o loe? tiah a naa. Hezekiah mah hae kaminawk loe angthla parai prae, Babylon prae hoiah ni angzoh o, tiah a naa.

Then Isaiah the prophet came to King Hezekiah and said to him, What did these men say and where did they come from? And Hezekiah said, They came from a far country, even from Babylon.

15 Anih mah, a siangpahrang imthung ih kawbaktih hmuennawk maw nihcae han na patuek? tiah a naa. Hezekiah mah siangpahrang imthung ah kaom hmuennawk boih a hnuk o; hmuen ka patunghaih ahmuen thung ih hmuennawk boih nihcae han patuek ai ih hmuen tidoeh om ai, tiah a naa.

And he said, What have they seen in your house? And Hezekiah said in answer, They saw everything in my house: there is nothing among my stores which I did not let them see.

16 Isaiah mah Hezekiah khaeah, Angraeng ih lok hae tahngai ah.

And Isaiah said to Hezekiah, Give ear to the word of the Lord.

17 Khenah, Na siangpahrang im ih hmuennawk boih, nam panawk mah vaihni ni khoek to patung o ih hmuennawk boih, Babylon ah sin boihhaih ni to pha tih boeh; maeto doeh tahmat o mak ai, tiah Angraeng mah thuih.

Truly, days are coming when everything in your house, and whatever your fathers have put in store till this day, will be taken away to Babylon: all will be gone, says the Lord.

18 Na sak ih na caanawk to nihcae mah misong ah hoi o tih; nihcae loe Babylon siangpahrang im ah tangyat mii kadueh tamna ah om o tih, tiah a naa.

And your sons, the offspring of your body, they will take away to be unsexed servants in the house of the king of Babylon.

19 Hezekiah mah na thuih ih Angraeng ih lok loe hoih, tiah a naa. Anih mah, Ka hing thung angdaehhaih hoi monghaih om boeh loe hoih halat boeh na ai maw? tiah a thuih.

Then Hezekiah said to Isaiah, Good is the word of the Lord which you have said. Then he said, ... if in my time there is peace and righteousness?

20 Hezekiah siangpahrang ah oh nathung kaom hmuennawk hoi a thacakhaih kawng, vangpui thungah longsak ih tuili hoi tuilam kawng boih loe Judah siangpahrangnawk ahmin pakuemhaih cabu thungah tarik o na ai maw?

Now the rest of the acts of Hezekiah, and his power, and how he made the pool and the stream, to take water into the town, are they not recorded in the book of the history of the kings of Judah?

21 Hezekiah loe ampanawk khaeah anghak; anih zuengah a capa Manasseh to siangpahrang ah oh.

And Hezekiah went to rest with his fathers; and Manasseh his son became king in his place.
