2 Khokhuen 32
1 He oltak olka hnukah tah Assyria manghai Sennacherib tah cet tih Judah la pawk. Te vaengah khopuei vong cak rhoek te a rhaeh thil tih amah hut la ka muk eh a ti.
After these things, and this faithfulness, Sennacherib king of Assyria came, and entered into Judah, and camped against the fortified cities, and thought to win them for himself.
2 A mikhmuh ah caemtloek ham Jerusalem la Sennacherib a pawk te Hezekiah loh a hmuh.
When Hezekiah saw that Sennacherib had come, and that he intended to fight against Jerusalem,
3 Te dongah a mangpa rhoek neh a hlangrhalh rhoek taengah khopuei rhamvoel kah tuiphuet tui te mak hamla a uen tih a bom uh.
he took counsel with his princes and his mighty men to stop the waters of the springs which were outside of the city; and they helped him.
4 Te dongah pilnam te muep tingtun tih tuisih boeih neh khohmuen khui la aka long soklong khaw a mak uh. Te vaengah, “Balae tih Assyria manghai rhoek ha pawk uh vetih tui muep a hmuh uh mai eh?” a ti uh.
So many people gathered together, and they stopped all the springs, and the brook that flowed through the midst of the land, saying, "Why should the kings of Assyria come, and find much water?"
5 Te phoeiah thaa a huel uh tih vongtung aka puut boeih te a biing uh. Rhaltoengim so neh a tloe vongtung rhamvoel hil a hil tih David khopuei kah vaikhap te a moem. Pumcumnah neh photling khaw a cungkuem la a saii.
He took courage, and built up all the wall that was broken down, and raised towers upon it, and the other wall outside, and strengthened Millo in the City of David, and made weapons and shields in abundance.
6 Pilnam soah caemtloek mangpa rhoek a khueh tih amih te khopuei vongka toltung ah amah taengla a coi. Te vaengah amih thinko ah a thui pah tih,
He set captains of war over the people, and gathered them together to him in the broad place at the gate of the city, and spoke comfortably to them, saying,
7 Thaahuel uh lamtah namning uh, Assyria manghai mikhmuh ah rhih uh boeh, rhihyawp uh boeh. Te lamloh anih taengah hlangping loh cungkuem mai cakhaw anih taengkah lakah mamih taengkah he ping ngai.
"Be strong and courageous, do not be afraid nor dismayed for the king of Assyria, nor for all the multitude who is with him; for there is a greater with us than with him.
8 Anih taengah pumsa kah bantha ni a om. Mamih taengah tah mamih kah Pathen BOEIPA he mamih aka bom ham neh mamih kah caemtloeknah te aka vathoh puei la om coeng,” a ti nah. Te dongah Judah manghai Hezekiah ol lamloh pilnam khaw duel uh thae.
With him is an arm of flesh; but with us is the LORD our God to help us, and to fight our battles." The people rested themselves on the words of Hezekiah king of Judah.
9 A hnukah tah Assyria manghai Sennacherib loh a sal rhoek te Jerusalem la a tueih. Te vaengah anih te amah taengkah a khohung boeih neh Lakhish imdan ah Judah manghai Hezekiah neh Jerusalem kah Judah boeih te a pai thil.
After this, Sennacherib king of Assyria sent his servants to Jerusalem, (now he was before Lachish, and all his power with him), to Hezekiah king of Judah, and to all Judah who were at Jerusalem, saying,
10 Te vaengah, “Assyria manghai Sennacherib loh he ni a thui. Me dongah nim na pangtung uh tih Jerusalem kah vongup ah kho na sak uh?
Thus says Sennacherib king of Assyria, "In whom do you trust, that you remain under siege in Jerusalem?
11 Hezekiah loh nangmih te m'vueh moenih a? Khokha neh tuihalh ah duek sak hamla nangmih m'voeih tih, 'Mamih kah Pathen BOEIPA loh, mamih he Assyria manghai kut lamkah n'huul bitni,’ a ti.
Doesn't Hezekiah persuade you, to give you over to die by famine and by thirst, saying, 'The LORD our God will deliver us out of the hand of the king of Assyria?'
12 A hmuensang neh a hmueihtuk aka khoe khaw Hezekiah amah moenih a? Te vaengah Judah taeng neh Jerusalem taengah a uen tih, 'Hmueihtuk pakhat hmai bueng ah ni na bakop uh vetih te soah ni na phum eh?,’ a ti.
Hasn't the same Hezekiah taken away his high places and his altars, and commanded Judah and Jerusalem, saying, 'You shall worship before one altar, and on it you shall burn incense?'
13 Kai neh a pa loh khohmuen pilnam boeih taengah ka saii te na ming pawt nim? Khohmuen namtom pathen rhoek loh, a khohmuen te kai kut lamloh a huul ham coeng rhoe coeng ve nim?
Do you not know what I and my fathers have done to all the peoples of the lands? Were the gods of the nations of the lands in any way able to deliver their land out of my hand?
14 Kai napa rhoek loh a thup namtom pathen rhoek boeih soah unim aka om? A pilnam te ka kut lamloh huul hamla unim aka coeng thai eh? Kai kut lamloh nangmih huul hamla nangmih kah Pathen te coeng thai aya?
Who was there among all the gods of those nations which my fathers utterly destroyed, that could deliver his people out of my hand, that your God should be able to deliver you out of my hand?
15 Tahae ah nangmih te Hezekiah loh n'rhaithi boel saeh lamtah he tlam he nangmih te m'vuet boel saeh. Anih te tangnah uh boeh. Namtom neh ram boeih pathen boeih long pataeng ka kut lamkah neh a pa rhoek kut lamloh a pilnam a huul ham a noeng moenih. Nangmih kah Pathen loh nangmih te ka kut lamloh n'huul mahpawh,” a ti nah.
Now therefore do not let Hezekiah deceive you, nor persuade you in this way, neither believe him; for no god of any nation or kingdom was able to deliver his people out of my hand, and out of the hand of my fathers. How much less will your God deliver you out of my hand?"
16 A sal rhoek khaw Pathen BOEIPA taeng neh BOEIPA kah sal Hezekiah taengah cal uh pueng.
His servants spoke yet more against the LORD God, and against his servant Hezekiah.
17 Israel Pathen BOEIPA te veet hamla cabu a daek uh tih a taengah cal uh. Diklai namtom kah pathen rhoek loh ka kut lamkah a pilnam a huul pawt bangla, Hezekiah kah Pathen loh a pilnam te ka kut lamkah huul mahpawh,” a ti uh.
He also wrote letters insulting the LORD, the God of Israel, and to speak against him, saying, "As the gods of the nations of the lands, which have not delivered their people out of my hand, so shall the God of Hezekiah not deliver his people out of my hand."
18 Amih hih ham neh amih te let sak ham, khopuei te duep hamla vongtung sokah Jerusalem pilnam te Judah ol neh a len la a doek uh.
They cried with a loud voice in the Jews' language to the people of Jerusalem who were on the wall, to frighten them, and to trouble them; that they might take the city.
19 Jerusalem kah Pathen te hlang kut dongkah bisai, diklai pilnam kah pathen kawng bangla a thui uh.
They spoke of the God of Jerusalem, as of the gods of the peoples of the earth, which are the work of men's hands.
20 He kongah manghai Hezekiah neh tonghma Amoz capa Isaiah tah thangthui tih vaan a khue rhoi.
Hezekiah the king, and Isaiah the prophet the son of Amoz, prayed because of this, and cried to heaven.
21 Te dongah BOEIPA loh puencawn a tueih tih Assyria manghai rhaehhmuen kah tatthai hlangrhalh boeih neh mangpa rhaengsang rhoek te a thup pah. Te dongah amah khohmuen la maelhmai yahpohnah neh mael tih amah pathen im la pawk. Te vaengah a cakhueh neh a ko khui lamkah a cakhueh loh anih te cunghang dongah hnap cungku uh.
The LORD sent an angel, who cut off all the mighty men of valor, and the leaders and captains, in the camp of the king of Assyria. So he returned with shame of face to his own land. When he had come into the house of his god, some of his own offspring killed him there with the sword.
22 BOEIPA loh Hezekiah neh Jerusalem khosa rhoek te Assyria manghai Sennacherib kut lamkah khaw, a cungkuem kut lamkah khaw a khang tangloeng tih a kaepvai ah amih te a khool.
Thus the LORD saved Hezekiah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem from the hand of Sennacherib the king of Assyria, and from the hand of all others, and gave them rest on every side.
23 Te dongah BOEIPA ham khocang neh Judah manghai Hezekiah ham kawnthen khaw Jerusalem la muep a pawk pah. Te dongah a hnuk lamloh namtom cungkuem kah mikhmuh ah a phueih.
Many brought gifts to the LORD to Jerusalem, and precious things to Hezekiah king of Judah; so that he was exalted in the sight of all nations from thenceforth.
24 Te vaeng tue ah Hezekiah te a duek ham duela tlo. Te dongah BOEIPA taengah a thangthui hatah anih te a doo tih a taengah kopoekrhai pakhat a paek.
In those days Hezekiah was sick even to death: and he prayed to the LORD; and he spoke to him, and gave him a sign.
25 Tedae a sokah a tiing la Hezekiah loh a thuung pawt dongah a lungbuei a sang sak. Te dongah anih so neh Judah, Jerusalem soah thinhulnah om.
But Hezekiah did not render again according to the benefit done to him; for his heart was lifted up: therefore there was wrath on him, and on Judah and Jerusalem.
26 Te phoeiah tah a lungbuei a sang khui lamloh Hezekiah amah neh Jerusalem khosa rhoek khaw kunyun tih Hezekiah tue vaengah tah BOEIPA kah thinhulnah loh amih thoeng thil pawh.
Notwithstanding Hezekiah humbled himself for the pride of his heart, both he and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so that the wrath of the LORD did not come on them in the days of Hezekiah.
27 Hezekiah taengah khuehtawn khaw om tih thangpomnah neh muep rhoeng. Te dongah amah loh cak ham neh sui ham khaw, lung vang ham neh botui ham khaw, photling ham neh sahnaih hnopai cungkuem ham khaw thakvoh a saii.
Hezekiah had a very great amount of riches and honor: and he provided him treasuries for silver, and for gold, and for precious stones, and for spices, and for shields, and for all kinds of goodly vessels;
28 Canghum cangpai, misur thai neh situi ham rhuengim khaw, rhamsa saelhung boeih neh tuvong khuikah tuping ham khaw im a sak.
storehouses also for the increase of grain and new wine and oil; and stalls for all kinds of animals, and flocks in folds.
29 Pathen loh anih te khuehtawn muep a paek khungdaeng dongah amah ham khopuei a saii tih saelrhoi boiva neh saelhung khaw a cungkuem la a det.
Moreover he provided him cities, and possessions of flocks and herds in abundance; for God had given him very much substance.
30 Hezekiah amah loh Gihon tui hnun te a soah a ueng tih David khopuei kah khotlak hil a dang la a hlawn. Hezekiah tah a cungkuem dongah a bibi khaw a thaihtak pah.
This same Hezekiah also stopped the upper spring of the waters of Gihon, and brought them straight down on the west side of the City of David. Hezekiah prospered in all his works.
31 Tedae khohmuen ah aka thoeng kopoekrhai kawng dawt ham te Babylon mangpa rhoek loh a taengla hmuiyoi a tueih vaengah tah anih te noemcai ham neh, a thinko khuikah boeih te ming hamla Pathen loh anih te a hnoo.
However concerning the ambassadors of the princes of Babylon, who sent to him to inquire 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.
32 Hezekiah kah ol noi neh a sitlohnah te tonghma Amoz capa Isaiah kah mangthui khuiah khaw, Judah neh Israel manghai rhoek kah cabu khuiah khaw a daek uh.
Now the rest of the acts of Hezekiah, and his good deeds, look, they are written in the vision of Isaiah the prophet the son of Amoz, in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel.
33 Hezekiah te a napa rhoek taengla a khoem uh vaengah tah anih te David koca rhoek kah phuel tangkham ah a up uh. A dueknah hnin ah anih te Judah pum neh Jerusalem khosa rhoek loh thangpomnah a saii uh. Te phoeiah tah a capa Manasseh te anih yueng la manghai.
Hezekiah slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the ascent of the tombs of the sons of David: and all Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem did him honor at his death. Manasseh his son reigned in his place.
