2 Manghai 18

1 Israel manghai Elah capa, Hosea kah a kum thum dongah Judah manghai Ahaz capa Hezekiah khaw manghai van.

And it came to pass, in the third year of Hoshea son of Elah king of Israel, that Hezekiah son of Ahaz king of Judah began to reign.

2 Anih te kum kul kum nga a lo ca vaengah manghai tih Jerusalem ah kum kul kum ko manghai. A manu ming tah Zekhariah canu Abi ni.

Twenty-five years old, was he when he began to reign, and, twenty-nine years, reigned he in Jerusalem, —and, his mother’s name, was Abi, daughter of Zachariah.

3 A cungkuem dongah a napa David kah a saii bangla BOEIPA mikhmuh ah a thuem ni a saii.

And he did that which was right in the eyes of Yahweh, —according to all that, David his father, did.

4 Anih tah hmuensang te a khoe tih kaam te khaw a phaek. Asherah te a top tih Moses loh a saii rhohum rhul te a phop. Te tue ah aka om Israel ca rhoek loh a taengah hmueih a phum uh dongah te te Nehushtan la a khue.

He, removed the high places, and brake in pieces the pillars, and cut down the Sacred Stem, —and beat in pieces the serpent of bronze that, Moses, had made, because, until those days, had the sons of Israel been burning incense thereunto, so he called it Nehushtan.

5 Israel Pathen BOEIPA dongah pangtung tih anih hnukah Judah manghai boeih khuiah khaw anih bang a om moenih. Anih hmai ah khaw a om moenih.

In Yahweh, God of Israel, did he trust, —so that, after him, was none like him, among all the kings of Judah, nor that were before him;

6 BOEIPA taengah balak tih a hnuk lamloh nong pawh. BOEIPA loh Moses taengah a uen vanbangla a olpaek te a tuem.

and he did cleave unto Yahweh, he turned not away from following him, —but kept his commandments, which, Yahweh, commanded, Moses.

7 BOEIPA te a taengah a om pah vanbangla a cungkuem ah a thoeng pah tih a cangbam. Te dongah Assyria manghai te a tloelh tih anih taengah thotat pawh.

So Yahweh was with him, whithersoever he went forth, he prospered, —and he rebelled against the king of Assyria, and served him not.

8 Anih loh Philisti te Gaza neh a khorhi hil, rhalrhing kah rhaltoengim lamloh hmuencak khopuei hil a ngawn.

He, smote the Philistines, as far as Gazah, and her boundaries, —from the watchmen’s tower even to the fortified city.

9 Manghai Hezekiah kah a kum li dong neh Israel manghai Elah capa Hosea kah a kum rhih dongah tah Assyria manghai Shalmaneser loh Samaria a paan tih a dum.

And it came to pass, in the fourth year of King Hezekiah—the same, was the seventh year of Hosea son of Elah king of Israel, that Shalmaneser king of Assyria came up against Samaria, and laid siege against it;

10 Tedae kum thum a thok vaengah khopuei te a loh. Te dongah Hezekiah kah a kum rhuk neh Israel manghai Hosea kah a kum ko dongah Samaria te a loh.

and he captured it at the end of three years, in the sixth year of Hezekiah, —the same, is the ninth year of Hoshea king of Israel, was Samaria captured.

11 Assyria manghai loh Israel te Assyria la a poelyoe tih amih te Halah neh Habor kah Gozan tuiva, Madai khopuei la a mawt.

So the king of Assyria drave away Israel to Assyria, —and settled them in Halah, and in Habor, by the river of Gozan, and the mountains of Media:

12 A Pathen BOEIPA ol te ngai uh pawt tih a paipi te a poe uh. A cungkuem te BOEIPA kah sal Moses loh a uen coeng dae ngai uh pawt tih vai uh pawh.

because they hearkened not unto the voice of Yahweh their God, but transgressed his covenant, all that Moses the servant of Yahweh commanded, —they neither hearkened nor performed.

13 Manghai Hezekiah kah kum hlai li dongah tah Assyria manghai Sennacherib loh Judah kah vong cak khopuei boeih te a paan tih a loh pah.

And, in the fourteenth year of King Hezekiah, came up Sennacherib king of Assyria, against all the fortified cities of Judah, and took them.

14 Te dongah Judah manghai Hezekiah loh Assyria manghai te Lakhish la a tah tih, “Ka tholh coeng, kai taeng lamloh mael lamtah kai soah na tloeng te ka phueih mai bitni,” a ti nah. Te dongah Assyria manghai loh Judah manghai Hezekiah lamkah cak talent ya thum neh sui talent sawmthum a phai sak.

Then sent Hezekiah king of Judah unto the king of Assyria, to Lachish, saying—I have sinned, Return from me, What thou shalt lay upon me, I will bear. So the king of Assyria appointed unto Hezekiah king of Judah, three hundred talents of silver, and thirty talents of gold.

15 Hezekiah loh BOEIPA im neh manghai im thakvoh khuikah a hmuh cak boeih te a phai.

And Hezekiah delivered up all the silver that was found in the house of Yahweh, and in the treasuries of the house of the king.

16 Te vaeng tue ah Hezekiah loh BOEIPA bawkim kah thohkhaih te a khong coeng. Rhungsut a ben te khaw Judah manghai Hezekiah loh Assyria manghai taengah a phai.

At that time, Hezekiah cut off the doors of the temple of Yahweh, and the columns, which Hezekiah king of Judah had overlaid, —and gave them unto the king of Assyria.

17 Te dongah Assyria manghai loh rhalboei neh Rabsaris khaw, Lakhish lamkah Rabshakeh khaw, Hezekiah manghai neh Jerusalem miping caem taengla a tueih. Cet uh tih Jerusalem a pha uh neh hno suk lo long ah yoeng uh tih a so tuibuem kah tuilong te a pha uh vaengah pai uh.

And the king of Assyria sent Tartan and Rab-saris and Rab-shakeh, from Lachish unto King Hezekiah, with a heavy force to Jerusalem, —so they came up and drew near to Jerusalem, and took their stand by the upper channel of the pool, which is in the highway of the fuller’s field.

18 Manghai te a khue uh vaengah amih taengla im aka tawt Hilkiah capa Eliakim neh cadaek Shebna, cabu aka khoem Asaph capa Joah te cet.

Then called they for the king, and there went out unto them Eliakim son of Hilkiah, who was over the household, —and Shebnah, the scribe, and Joah son of Asaph, the recorder.

19 Te vaengah Rabshakeh loh amih te, “Hezekiah taengah thui uh laeh, manghai boei Assyria manghai loh he ni a thui. Mebang pangtungnah nim na pangtung van he.

And Rab-shakeh said unto them—Pray you, say unto Hezekiah, —Thus, saith the great king, the king of Assyria, What trust is this wherewith thou dost trust?

20 Hmuilai dongah ol kak nen tah caemtloek kah cilsuep neh thayung thamal na thui. Kai nan tloelh ham khaw u dongah nim na pangtung van coeng.

Thou hast said—they are only words of the lips!—Counsel and might [have I] for the war. Now, in whom dost thou trust, that thou hast rebelled against me?

21 Capu conghol aka paep dongah na pangtung coeng te. Egypt dongah aka hangdang hlang tah a kut ah rhu vetih a toeh pah ni. Egypt manghai Pharaoh soah aka pangtung boeih khaw amah te tlam ni a om eh.

Now, lo! thou dost trust thyself on the support of this bruised cane, on Egypt, whereon, if a man lean, it will enter his hand and lay it open, —so, is Pharaoh king of Egypt, to all who trust upon him.

22 Kai taengah, “Ka Pathen BOEIPA taengah ka pangtung uh,’ na ti uh khaming. Anih loh Hezekiah neh a hmuensang te khaw, a hmueihtuk te khaw a khoe moenih a? Te vaengah Judah taeng neh Jerusalem taengah, 'Jerusalem kah hmueihtuk hmai ah he thothueng uh,’ a ti nah ta.

But, if ye should say unto me, In Yahweh our God, do we trust, Then is that not he whose high places and whose altars Hezekiah hath removed, and said unto Judah, and unto Jerusalem—Before this altar, shall ye bow down, in Jerusalem?

23 Tahae ah ka boeipa Assyria manghai neh rhikhang laeh. A soah aka ngol nan paek thai atah nang te marhang thawng hnih he kam pae eh.

Now, therefore, pledge thyself, I pray thee, with my lord, the king of Assyria, —that I supply thee with two thousand horses, if thou, on thy part, be able to set riders upon them.

24 Egypt kah leng neh marhang caem dongah na pangtung cakhaw ka boei kah sal rhoek khuiah rhalboei ca pakhat kah maelhmai te metlam na mael eh?

How then wilt thou turn back the face of one pasha of the least of my lord’s servants? Or hast thou, on thy part, trusted to Egypt for chariots and for horsemen?

25 BOEIPA lamkah mueh la he hmuen la ka pawk aya? Te te phae ham te BOEIPA loh kai taengah, 'Khohmuen he caeh thil lamtah khopuei te phae laeh,’ a ti,” a ti nah.

Now, is it, without Yahweh, that I have come up against this place, to destroy it? Yahweh himself, said unto me, Go thou up against this land, and destroy it.

26 Te vaengah Hilkiah capa Eliakim, Shebna neh Joah loh Rabshakeh te, “Na sal rhoek taengah Aramaih ol la thui mai, ka yakming u ngawn dongah vongtung sokah pilnam hna ah he kaimih ham Judah ol la thui boel mai,” a ti nah.

Then said Eliakim son of Hilkiah, and Shebnah, and Joah, unto Rab-shakeh: Speak, we pray thee, unto thy servants in the, Syrian, language, for, we, can, understand, it, —and do not speak with us in, the Jews’, language, in the ears of the people who are upon the wall.

27 Tedae Rabshakeh loh amih te, “He ol thui ham he ka boei loh na boei taeng neh nang taeng bueng ah kai n'tueih nim? Vongtung soah aka ngol tih a khawt aka sok, nangmih bangla a khopha dongkah a yun tui aka o hlang rhoek taengah moenih a?” a ti nah.

But Rab-shakeh said unto them—Is it, concerning thy lord, and concerning thee, that my lord hath sent me to speak these things? Is it not concerning the men who are tarrying upon the wall, that they may eat their own dung and drink their own water with you?

28 Te phoeiah Rabshakeh te pai tih Judah ol neh a len la pang. Te phoeiah a thui tih, “Assyria manghai boei kah manghai ol he hnatun uh.

So then Rab-shakeh took his stand, and cried out with a loud voice, in, the Jews’, language, —and spake, and said, Hear ye the message of the great king, the king of Assyria: —

29 Manghai loh he ni a thui. Nangmih te Hezekiah loh n'rhaithi boel saeh. A kut lamloh nangmih n'huul ham a coeng moenih.

Thus, saith the king: Let not Hezekiah deceive you, for he shall not he able to deliver you out of his hand;

30 Nangmih te Hezekiah loh BOEIPA dongah m'pangtung sak tih, “BOEIPA loh mamih n'huul rhoe n'huul ni, khopuei he khaw Assyria manghai kut ah pae mahpawh,’ a ti moenih a?

Neither let Hezekiah cause you to trust in Yahweh, saying, Yahweh, will, certainly deliver, us, —this city, therefore, shall not be given over into the hand of the king of Assyria.

31 Hezekiah ol te hnatun uh boeh. Assyria manghai loh he ni a thui. Kai taengah yoethennah mah saii uh. Kai taengla ha mop uh lamtah hlang loh amah misur neh amah thaibu te rhip ca saeh. Hlang loh amah kah tuito tui te o saeh.

Do not hearken unto Hezekiah, —for, thus, saith the king of Assyria, Deal with me thankfully, and come out unto me, then shall ye eat—every one of his own vine, and every one of his own fig-tree, and drink every one the waters of his own cistern;

32 Kai taengla na pawk hlan vaengah namah khohmuen banghui khohmuen la nangmih kang khuen coeng. Te tah cangpai neh misur thai khohmuen ni, buh neh misur khohmuen ni, olive situi neh khoitui khohmuen ni. Te dongah hing uh lamtah duek uh boeh. Hezekiah ol te hnatun uh boeh. Nangmih m'vueh m'vuehtih, “BOEIPA loh mamih n'huul bitni.

Until I come and take you, into a land like your own land—A land of corn and new wine, a land of bread and vineyards, a land of oil olive and honey, so shall ye live, and not die, —But do not hearken unto Hezekiah, for he would persuade you, saying, Yahweh, will deliver us!

33 Namtom pathen rhoek loh a khohmuen dongah hlang te Assyria manghai kut lamloh a huul khaw a huul uh nim?

Have, the gods of the nations, at all delivered, any one of them, his country, out of the hand of the king of Assyria?

34 Khamath neh Arpad pathen rhoek te melae? Hena Sepharvaim neh Ivvah pathen rhoek te melae?’ a ti. Ka kut lamloh Samaria a huul uh tang a?

Where are the gods of Hamath, and Arpad? Where are the gods of Sepharvaim, Hena and Ivvah? Yea, did they deliver Samaria out of my hand?

35 Khohmuen pathen boeih khuiah khaw ka kut lamloh a khohmuen aka huul te unim? BOEIPA loh Jerusalem te kai kut lamkah a huul tang aya?,” a ti nah.

Who are they, among all the gods of the countries, that have delivered their country, out of my hand, —that, Yahweh, should deliver, Jerusalem, out of my hand?

36 Tedae manghai kah olpaek loh, “Anih te doo uh boeh,” a ti nah dongah pilnam khaw ngam tih anih te ol pakhat khaw doo uh van pawh.

But the people held their peace, and answered him not a word, —for, the command of the king, it was, saying—Ye must not answer him.

37 Te phoeiah im aka tawt Hilkiah capa Eliakim, cadaek Shebna, khocil aka khoem Asaph capa Joah tah himbai aka phen Hezekiah taengla cet uh tih Rabshakeh kah ol te a taengah a puen pauh.

Then came in Eliakim son of Hilkiah who was over the household, and Shebna the scribe, and Joah son of Asaph the recorder, unto Hezekiah, with rent clothes, —and they told him the words of Rab-shakeh.
