< 2 Manghai 20 >
1 Te vaeng tue ah Hezekiah te tlo tih dalh duek. Te dongah tonghma Amoz capa Isaiah te anih taengla pawk tih, “BOEIPA loh he ni a thui, na imkhui te uen laeh, na duek vetih na hing voel mahpawh,” a ti nah.
In those days Hezekiah became mortally ill. The prophet Isaiah son of Amoz came to him and said, “This is what the LORD says: ‘Put your house in order, for you are about to die; you will not recover.’”
2 Te dongah a maelhmai te pangbueng taengla a hooi sak. Te phoeiah BOEIPA taengah thangthui tih,
Then Hezekiah turned his face to the wall and prayed to the LORD, saying,
3 “Aw BOEIPA, na mikhmuh ah oltak neh, thinko rhuemtuet la pongpa te khaw, na mikhmuh ah a then ka saii te khaw poek mai,” a ti. Te vaengah Hezekiah kah a rhah mah hlawkhlawk rhap.
“Please, O LORD, remember how I have walked before You faithfully and with wholehearted devotion; I have done what was good in Your sight.” And Hezekiah wept bitterly.
4 Isaiah loh khopuei vongup bangli a pha moenih. Te vaengah BOEIPA ol te anih taengla pawk tih,
Before Isaiah had left the middle courtyard, the word of the LORD came to him, saying,
5 “Mael lamtah ka pilnam kah rhaengsang Hezekiah te thui pah. Na pa David kah Pathen BOEIPA loh he ni a thui. Na thangthuinah te ka yaak tih na mikphi khaw ka hmuh coeng. Kai loh nang kang hoeih sak coeng ne, a thum hnin ah tah BOEIPA im la na cet bitni.
“Go back and tell Hezekiah the leader of My people that this is what the LORD, the God of your father David, says: ‘I have heard your prayer; I have seen your tears. I will surely heal you. On the third day from now you will go up to the house of the LORD.
6 Na khohnin te kum hlai nga kan thap vetih namah neh khopuei he khaw Assyria manghai kut lamloh kan huul ni. Khopuei he kamah ham neh ka sal David hamla ka tungaep ni,” a ti nah.
I will add fifteen years to your life. And I will deliver you and this city from the hand of the king of Assyria. I will defend this city for My sake and for the sake of My servant David.’”
7 Te phoeiah Isaiah loh, “Thaibu thaidae lo lah,” a ti nah. A loh uh tangloeng tih buhlut a ben thil daengah koep hing.
Then Isaiah said, “Prepare a poultice of figs.” So they brought it and applied it to the boil, and Hezekiah recovered.
8 Hezekiah loh Isaiah taengah, “BOEIPA loh kai he n'hoeih sak tih a thum hnin ah BOEIPA im la ka caeh ham miknoek te melae?” a ti nah.
Now Hezekiah had asked Isaiah, “What will be the sign that the LORD will heal me and that I will go up to the house of the LORD on the third day?”
9 Te vaengah Isaiah loh, “He tah nang ham BOEIPA lamkah miknoek pawn ni. Ol a thui bangla khokhawn loh tangtlaeng parha a poeng ham khaw, tangtlaeng parha a mael ham khaw, BOEIPA loh a saii bitni,” a ti nah.
And Isaiah had replied, “This will be a sign to you from the LORD that He will do what He has promised: Would you like the shadow to go forward ten steps, or back ten steps?”
10 Te vaengah Hezekiah, “Khokhawn loh tangtlaeng parha a poeng ham tah yoeikoek pawt nim? Te dongah khokhawn he tangtlaeng parha a hnuk la mael mai saeh,” a ti nah.
“It is easy for the shadow to lengthen ten steps,” answered Hezekiah, “but not for it to go back ten steps.”
11 Tonghma Isaiah loh BOEIPA a khue thil tangloeng vaengah tah tangtlaeng dongkah khokhawn khaw mael tih Ahaz kah tangtlaeng dongah khaw a hnuk la tangtlaeng parha rhum van.
So Isaiah the prophet called out to the LORD, and He brought the shadow back the ten steps it had descended on the stairway of Ahaz.
12 Te vaeng tue ah Hezekiah a tloh te Babylon manghai Baladan capa Merodakbaldan loh a yaak dongah Hezekiah taengla capat neh khocang a pat.
At that time Merodach-baladan son of Baladan king of Babylon sent letters and a gift to Hezekiah, for he had heard about Hezekiah’s illness.
13 Hezekiah loh amih te a yaak sak tih amih te a likmal im kah cak neh sui khaw, botui neh situi then khaw, a hnopai im khaw, a thakvoh khuikah a hmuh boeih khaw boeih a tueng. A im khui neh a khohung pum kah te Hezekiah loh amih a tueng pawh hno om pawh.
And Hezekiah received the envoys and showed them all that was in his treasure house—the silver, the gold, the spices, and the precious oil, as well as his armory—all that was found in his storehouses. There was nothing in his palace or in all his dominion that Hezekiah did not show them.
14 Te dongah tonghma Isaiah loh manghai Hezekiah te a paan tih amah taengah, “Tekah hlang rhoek loh balae a thui, me lamkah nim nang taengla ha pawk uh,” a ti nah. Te vaengah Hezekiah loh, “Kho hla lamkah, Babylon lamkah ha pawk uh,” a ti nah.
Then the prophet Isaiah went to King Hezekiah and asked, “Where did those men come from, and what did they say to you?” “They came from a distant land,” Hezekiah replied, “from Babylon.”
15 Te phoeiah, “Na im ah balae a hmuh?” a ti nah hatah Hezekiah loh, “Ka im kah a cungkuem he a hmuh uh. Ka thakvoh khuikah khaw amih ka tueng pawh hno pakhat khaw om pawh,” a ti nah.
“What have they seen in your palace?” Isaiah asked. “They have seen everything in my palace,” answered Hezekiah. “There is nothing among my treasures that I did not show them.”
16 Tedae Isaiah loh Hezekiah te, “BOEIPA ol he hnatun lah.
Then Isaiah said to Hezekiah, “Hear the word of the LORD:
17 A tue ha pawk vetih na im kah a cungkuem neh na pa rhoek loh tahae khohnin due a kael te khaw Babylon la a phueih vetih paih mahpawh. BOEIPA loh ol a thui coeng.
The time will surely come when everything in your palace and all that your fathers have stored up until this day will be carried off to Babylon. Nothing will be left, says the LORD.
18 Namah lamloh aka thoeng na ca sak rhoek te khaw a khuen, a khuen uh vetih Babylon manghai bawkim ah imkhoem la om uh ni,” a ti nah.
And some of your descendants, your own flesh and blood, will be taken away to be eunuchs in the palace of the king of Babylon.”
19 Tedae, “Rhoepnah neh uepomnah he kamah tue vaengah om mai pawt nim?” a ti dongah Hezekiah loh Isaiah te, “Na thui bangla BOEIPA ol tah then,” a ti nah.
But Hezekiah said to Isaiah, “The word of the LORD that you have spoken is good.” For he thought, “Will there not at least be peace and security in my lifetime?”
20 Hezekiah kah ol noi neh a thayung thamal boeih khaw, tuibuem neh tuilong a saii tih khopuei la tui a pawk sak khaw, Judah manghai rhoek kah khokhuen olka cabu dongah a daek uh moenih a?
As for the rest of the acts of Hezekiah, along with all his might and how he constructed the pool and the tunnel to bring water into the city, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah?
21 Hezekiah te a napa rhoek taengla a khoem uh phoeiah tah a capa Manasseh te anih yueng la manghai.
And Hezekiah rested with his fathers, and his son Manasseh reigned in his place.
