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 Elyakim, who was superintendent over the house, and Shebnah the scribe, and the elders of the priests, covered with sackcloth, to 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 hath said Hezekiah, A day of trouble, and of rebuke, and derision is this day; 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.
Perhaps the Lord thy God will hear all the words of Rabshakeh, whom the king of Assyria his master hath sent to blaspheme the living God; and who hath reproached with the words which the Lord thy God hath heard: wherefore lift up a prayer in behalf of the remnant that is still found here.
5 Manghai Hezekiah kah sal rhoek te khaw Isaiah taengla pawk uh tangloeng.
And 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 hath said the Lord, Be not afraid because of the words which thou hast heard, with which the boys 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 an [other] spirit in him, that when he will hear a rumor, he 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.
And Rabshakeh 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 he heard it said of Thirhakah the king of Ethiopia, Behold, he is come out to fight with thee; and he again sent messengers 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 say to Hezekiah the king of Judah, as followeth, Let not thy God in whom thou trustest deceive thee, saying, Jerusalem shall not be given up 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 thyself hast heard what the kings of Assyria have done to all the lands, by destroying them utterly: and thou alone shouldst 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 which my fathers destroyed delivered them; as Gozan, and Charan, and Rezeph, and the children of 'Eden, who were in Thelassar?
13 Khamath manghai neh Arpad manghai, Hena Sepharvaim neh Ivvah khopuei manghai te ta?” na ti,” a ti nah.
Where is the king of Chamath, and the king of Arpad, and the king of the city of Sepharvayim, 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 took the letters out of the hand of the messengers, and read them: and Hezekiah went up into the house of the Lord, and spread them out 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 God of Israel, who dwellest between the cherubims, thou art the [true] God, thou alone, for all the kingdoms of the earth; for it is thou who hast made the heavens and the 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.
Bend down, O Lord, thy ear, and hear! open, O Lord, thy eyes, and see! and hear the words of Sennacherib, that which he hath sent to blaspheme the living God.
17 BOEIPA aw Assyria manghai rhoek loh namtom rhoek neh a khohmuen te khaw a khah coeng.
Truly, Lord, the kings of Assyria have devastated the nations and their land,
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 they have placed their gods into the fire; for they are no gods, but the work of man's hands, wood and stone: and these have they destroyed.
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.
And now, O Lord our God, save us, I beseech thee, out of his hand, that all the kingdoms of the earth may know that thou art the Lord God, thou alone.
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 sent Isaiah the son of Amoz to Hezekiah, saying, Thus hath said the Lord the God of Israel, What thou hast prayed to me concerning Sennacherib the king of Assyria have I heard.
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 over him: She despiseth thee, she laugheth thee to scorn, the virgin daughter of Zion; behind thee shaketh her head the daughter of Jerusalem.
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 blasphemed, and [whom] hast thou scorned? and against whom hast thou raised thy voice, and lifted up thy eyes on high? 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 thy messengers thou hast blasphemed the Lord and hast said, With the multitude of my chariots am I indeed come up to the height of the mountains, to the sides of Lebanon, and I will cut down its tall cedars, the choice of its fir-trees: and I will enter into the lodgings on its summit, the forest of its fruitful soil.
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 dug and drunk strange waters, and I will dry up with the sole of my feet all the streams of besieged places.
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.
Hadst thou not heard that in distant ages I had prepared this? in the times of antiquity when I formed it? now have I brought it along, and it came to pass, to desolate into ruinous heaps fortified cities.
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.
And thus their inhabitants were short of power, they were dismayed and confounded; they were as the herbs of the field, and as the green grass; as the moss on the housetops, and as corn blasted before the ear appeareth.
27 Tedae na ngol khaw, na vuenva neh na kunael khaw, kai nan tlai thil te khaw ka ming.
But thy abiding and thy going out and thy coming in do I know, 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 thy tumult that is come up into my ears, will I put my hook in thy nose, and my bridle between thy lips; and I will cause thee to turn back on 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 unto thee the sign, Ye shall eat this year what groweth of itself, and in the second year what springeth up after the same; and in the third year sow and reap, and plant vineyards, and eat their fruit.
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 of the house of Judah that is escaped shall yet again strike 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 that which escapeth out of mount Zion: the zeal of the Lord of hosts will do 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 hath said the Lord concerning the king of Assyria, He shall not come into this city, and he shall not shoot an arrow thereon, nor come before it with shield, nor cast up against it an embankment.
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.
On the way by which he came, by the same shall he return, and into this city shall he not come, saith the Lord.
34 Kamah ham neh ka sal David kongah khopuei he daem sak ham ka tungaep ni,” a ti nah.
And I will shield this city, to save it, for my own sake, and for the sake of David my servant.
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, on the same night, that an angel of the Lord went out and smote in the camp of the Assyrians one hundred eighty and five thousand men: and when people 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.
And Sennacherib the king of Assyria then 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 prostrating himself in the house of Nisroch his god, that Adrammelech and Sharezer his sons smote him with the sword: and they escaped into the land of Ararat. And Essar-chaddon his son became king in his stead.
