1 Manghai Hezekiah loh a yaak van neh a himbai te a phen. Tlamhni te a bai tih BOEIPA im la cet.
And it came to pass, when king Hezekiah heard it, that he rent his clothes, and covered himself with sackcloth, and went into the house of the LORD.
2 Te phoeiah im aka hung Eliakim, cadaek Shebna, tlamhni aka bai khosoih ham rhoek te Amoz capa tonghma Isaiah taengla a tueih.
And he sent Eliakim, who was over the household, and Shebna the scribe, and the elders of the priests, covered with sackcloth, unto Isaiah the prophet the son of Amoz.
3 Te phoeiah Isaiah te, “Hezekiah loh he ni a thui. Tahae khohnin he tah citcai neh, toelthamnah neh kokhahnah khohnin coeng ni. Camoe om ham a pha coeng dae a cun ham thadueng om pawh.
And they said unto him: 'Thus saith Hezekiah: This day is a day of trouble, and of rebuke, and of contumely; for the children are come to the birth, and there is not strength to bring forth.
4 Rabshakeh kah ol cungkuem te na Pathen BOEIPA loh a yaak khaming. Anih te a boei Assyria manghai loh aka hing Pathen veet hamla a tueih. Na Pathen BOEIPA loh a yaak bangla a ol soah a tluung bitni. Te dongah a meet la a hmuh rhoek ham mah thangthuinah khueh mai laeh,” a ti uh.
It may be the LORD thy God will hear all the words of Rab-shakeh, whom the king of Assyria his master hath sent to taunt the living God, and will rebuke the words which the LORD thy God hath heard; wherefore make prayer for the remnant that is left.'
5 Manghai Hezekiah kah sal rhoek te khaw Isaiah taengla pawk uh tangloeng.
So the servants of king Hezekiah came to Isaiah.
6 Te vaengah amih te Isaiah loh, “Na boei rhoek te thui pah. BOEIPA loh he ni a thui. Ol na yaak soah rhih uh boeh. Assyria manghai kah tueihyoeih rhoek loh kai n'hliphen uh.
And Isaiah said unto them: 'Thus shall ye say to your master: Thus saith the LORD: Be not afraid of the words that thou hast heard, wherewith the servants of the king of Assyria have blasphemed Me.
7 Kai loh a khuiah mueihla ka paek tih olthang a yaak coeng ke. Te dongah amah kho la mael bitni. Anih te amah kho ah cunghang dongla ka cungku sak ni,” a ti nah.
Behold, I will put a spirit in him, and he shall hear a rumour, and shall return to his own land; and I will cause him to fall by the sword in his own land.'
8 Lakhish lamkah a caeh te a yaak vaengah Rabshakeh khaw nong tih Assyria manghai loh Libnah a vathoh thil te a hmuh.
So Rab-shakeh returned, and found the king of Assyria warring against Libnah; for he had heard that he was departed from Lachish.
9 Kusah manghai Tirhakah kawng a yaak vaengah khaw, “Nang vathoh thil ham ha pawk coeng ke,” a ti nah. Te dongah mael tih Hezekiah taengla puencawn a tueih.
And when he heard say of Tirhakah king of Ethiopia: 'Behold, he is come out to fight against thee'; he sent messengers again unto Hezekiah, saying:
10 Te vaengah, “Judah manghai Hezekiah te thui pah lamtah, 'A soah na pangtung thil na Pathen loh nang n'rhaithi boel saeh. Jerusalem te Assyria manghai kut ah tloeng mahpawh na ti.
'Thus shall ye speak to Hezekiah king of Judah, saying: Let not thy God in whom thou trustest beguile thee, saying: Jerusalem shall not be given into the hand of the king of Assyria.
11 Assyria manghai rhoek loh diklai tom ah a saii te na yaak coeng he. ‘Amih te a thup ham coeng dongah na loeih uh hatko.
Behold, thou hast heard what the kings of Assyria have done to all lands, by destroying them utterly; and shalt thou be delivered?
12 Kai napa rhoek aka phae namtom pathen loh amih Gozan neh Haran, Rezeph neh Telassar kah Eden ca rhoek te a huul aya?
Have the gods of the nations delivered them, which my fathers have destroyed, Gozan, and Haran, and Rezeph, and the children of Eden that were in Telassar?
13 Khamath manghai neh Arpad manghai, Hena Sepharvaim neh Ivvah khopuei manghai te ta?” na ti,” a ti nah.
Where is the king of Hamath, and the king of Arpad, and the king of the city of Sepharvaim, of Hena, and Ivvah?'
14 Hezekiah loh puencawn kut lamkah capat te a doe tih a tae. Te phoeiah BOEIPA im la cet tih Hezekiah loh BOEIPA mikhmuh ah a kut a phuel.
And Hezekiah received the letter from the hand of the messengers, and read it; and Hezekiah went up unto the house of the LORD, and spread it before the LORD.
15 Hezekiah te BOEIPA mikhmuh ah thangthui tih, “Cherubim ah aka ngol Israel Pathen BOEIPA aw, nang namah bueng ni diklai ram boeih soah Pathen la na om. Namah loh vaan neh diklai na saii.
And Hezekiah prayed before the LORD, and said: 'O LORD, the God of Israel, that sittest upon the cherubim, Thou art the God, even Thou alone, of all the kingdoms of the earth; Thou hast made heaven and earth.
16 BOEIPA aw na hna kaeng lamtah ya lah, BOEIPA aw na mik dai lamtah hmu laeh. A hing Pathen veet hamla Sennacherib loh ol a pat te hnatun nawn.
Incline Thine ear, O LORD, and hear; open Thine eyes, O LORD, and see; and hear the words of Sennacherib, wherewith he hath sent him to taunt the living God.
17 BOEIPA aw Assyria manghai rhoek loh namtom rhoek neh a khohmuen te khaw a khah coeng.
Of a truth, LORD, the kings of Assyria have laid waste the nations and their lands,
18 Amih kah pathen rhoek te hmai khuila a pup coeng. Te rhoek te pathen pawt tih hlang kut dongkah bibi, thing neh lungto la a om dongah milh uh coeng.
and have cast their gods into the fire; for they were no gods, but the work of men's hands, wood and stone; therefore they have destroyed them.
19 Kaimih kah Pathen BOEIPA aw tahae ah kaimih he anih kut lamloh n'khang laeh. Te daengah ni diklai ram pum loh nang namah bueng te Pathen BOEIPA la m'ming eh?,” a ti.
Now therefore, O LORD our God, save Thou us, I beseech Thee, out of his hand, that all the kingdoms of the earth may know that Thou art the LORD God, even Thou only.'
20 Te dongah Amoz capa Isaiah loh Hezekiah taengla ol atah tih, “Israel Pathen BOEIPA loh he ni a thui. Assyria manghai Sennacherib kongah kai taengla na thangthui te ka yaak coeng.
Then Isaiah the son of Amoz sent to Hezekiah, saying: 'Thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel: Whereas thou hast prayed to Me against Sennacherib king of Assyria, I have heard thee.
21 Ol he BOEIPA loh anih a thui thil coeng. Zion nu, oila nang te n hnoelrhoeng thil uh tih nang te n'tamdaeng coeng. Na hnuk ah Jerusalem nu loh lu a hinghuen.
This is the word that the LORD hath spoken concerning him: The virgin daughter of Zion hath despised thee and laughed thee to scorn; the daughter of Jerusalem hath shaken her head at thee.
22 Unim na veet tih na hliphen? U taengah nim ol na huel? Israel kah a cim la na maelhmai kah koevoeinah na phueih thil.
Whom hast thou taunted and blasphemed? and against whom hast thou exalted thy voice? Yea, thou hast lifted up thine eyes on high, even against the Holy One of Israel!
23 Na puencawn rhoek kah kut lamloh ka Boeipa te na veet tih, “Leng khaw kamah kah leng muep om, kai tah Lebanon hlaep kah tlang sang la ka luei, a lamphai thing sang neh hmaical a hloe khaw ka top. A cangphil cangngol duup a bawtnah kah rhaehim khaw ka pha.
By the messengers thou hast taunted the Lord, and hast said: With the multitude of my chariots am I come up to the height of the mountains, to the innermost parts of Lebanon; and I have cut down the tall cedars thereof, and the choice cypresses thereof; and I have entered into his farthest lodge, the forest of his fruitful field.
24 Kamah loh ka rhawt dae kholong tui ni ka ok. Ka kho dongkah khopha loh Egypt sokko khaw boeih ka kak sak,’ na ti.
I have digged and drunk strange waters, and with the sole of my feet have I dried up all the rivers of Egypt.
25 Hlamat tue lamloh ka saii te na ya daengrhae pawt nim? Te te ka hlinsai tih ka thoeng sak coeng. Te dongah vong cak khopuei aka hnuei tih lungkuk aka pong sak la na om coeng.
Hast thou not heard? long ago I made it, in ancient times I fashioned it; now have I brought it to pass, yea, it is done; that fortified cities should be laid waste into ruinous heaps.
26 A khuikah khosa rhoek khaw a kut toi uh coeng. Rhihyawp uh tih yak uh coeng. Lohma kah baelhing neh imphu kah baeldaih sulnoe khopol bangla om uh tih canghli kah mawn bangla om.
Therefore their inhabitants were of small power, they were dismayed and confounded; they were as the grass of the field, and as the green herb, as the grass on the housetops, and as corn blasted before it is grown up.
27 Tedae na ngol khaw, na vuenva neh na kunael khaw, kai nan tlai thil te khaw ka ming.
But I know thy sitting down, and thy going out, and thy coming in, and thy raging against Me.
28 Kai nan tlai thil tih nan lawn khaw kai hna la ha pawk coeng. Te dongah ka thisum neh na hnarhong ah kan toeh vetih ka kamrhui he na hmuilai ah kam bang ni. Te lamkah na pawk vanbangla nang te tekah longpuei lamloh kam mael sak ni.
Because of thy raging against Me, and for that thy tumult is come up into Mine ears, therefore will I put My hook in thy nose, and My bridle in thy lips, and I will turn thee back by the way by which thou camest.
29 He tah nang ham miknoek la om saeh. Kum khat pong vetih kum bae dongah anboe te ca. Kum thum dongah tawn uh lamtah at uh. Misur khaw phung uh lamtah a thaih te ca uh.
And this shall be the sign unto thee: ye shall eat this year that which groweth of itself, and in the second year that which springeth of the same; and in the third year sow ye, and reap, and plant vineyards, and eat the fruit thereof.
30 A dang ah a yung aka sueng Judah imkhui kah rhalyong te a koei vetih a soah a thaih thai ni.
And the remnant that is escaped of the house of Judah shall again take root downward, and bear fruit upward.
31 Jerusalem lamkah a meet neh Zion tlang lamkah rhalyong loh a pawk vaengah, caempuei BOEIPA kah thatlainah khaw cung bitni.
For out of Jerusalem shall go forth a remnant, and out of mount Zion they that shall escape; the zeal of the LORD of hosts shall perform this.
32 Te dongah BOEIPA loh Assyria manghai kongah he ni a thui. Anih te he khopuei la ha pawk mahpawh. Heah he thaltang khaw nuen mahpawh. photling te khaw dan pawt vetih tanglung khaw lun thil mahpawh.
Therefore thus saith the LORD concerning the king of Assyria: He shall not come unto this city, nor shoot an arrow there, neither shall he come before it with shield, nor cast a mound against it.
33 Tekah longpuei lamloh ha pawk vanbangla te lamlong ni a mael eh. He khopuei khuila kun mahpawh. He tah BOEIPA kah olphong coeng ni.
By the way that he came, by the same shall he return, and he shall not come unto this city, saith the LORD.
34 Kamah ham neh ka sal David kongah khopuei he daem sak ham ka tungaep ni,” a ti nah.
For I will defend this city to save it, for Mine own sake, and for My servant David's sake.'
35 Te khoyin ah tah BOEIPA kah puencawn te cet tangloeng tih Assyria caem khuikah te thawng yakhat sawmrhet thawng nga a ngawn. Te dongah mincang kah a thoh uh vaengah tah amih te a rhok la boeih ana duek.
And it came to pass that night, that the angel of the LORD went forth, and smote in the camp of the Assyrians a hundred fourscore and five thousand; and when men arose early in the morning, behold, they were all dead corpses.
36 Te dongah puen uh tih a nong phoeiah tah Assyria manghai Sennacherib khaw mael tih Nineveh ah kho a sak.
So Sennacherib king of Assyria departed, and went and returned, and dwelt at Nineveh.
37 Te phoeiah om tih anih te a pathen Nisrock im ah tho a thueng dae a capa Adrammelech neh Sharezer loh cunghang neh a ngawn. Amih rhoi te Ararat kho la a poeng rhoi dongah a capa Esarhaddon te anih yueng la manghai.
And it came to pass, as he was worshipping in the house of Nisroch his god, that Adrammelech and Sarezer his sons smote him with the sword; and they escaped into the land of Ararat. And Esarhaddon his son reigned in his stead.
