Isaiah 37
1 Manghai Hezekiah loh a yaak vaengah a himbai a phen, tlamhni te a bai tih BOEIPA im te a paan.
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 vaengah a im om Eliakim neh cadaek Shebna, khosoih patong rhoek te tlamhni a khuk tih tonghma Amoz capa Isaiah taengla a tueih.
And he sent Elyakim, who was superintendent over the house, and Shebna the scribe, and the elders of the priests, covered with sackcloth, to Isaiah the son of Amoz, the prophet.
3 Te vaengah a taengah, “Hezekiah loh citcai neh toelthamnah khohnin neh kokhahnah khohnin ni. Camoe om hamla a pha tih a cun ham thadueng a om pawt bangla ka om coeng.
And they said unto him, Thus hath said Hezekiah, A day of trouble, and of rebuke, and of derision is this day; for the children are come to the birth, and there is not strength to bring forth.
4 Khotawt Rabshakeh kah olka te Yahovah na Pathen loh a yaak khaming. Aka hing Pathen veet hamla a boei Assyria manghai loh anih te a tueih coeng. Te ol Yahovah na Pathen loh a yaak coeng dongah a tluung bitni. A meet aka om duen ham khaw thangthuinah neh thothueng laeh,” a ti,” a ti nauh.
Perhaps the Lord thy God will hear 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 for the remnant that is still found here.
5 Manghai Hezekiah kah sal rhoek te Isaiah taengla a pawk uh vaengah,
And the servants of king Hezekiah came to Isaiah.
6 amih te Isaiah loh, “Na boei taengah thui pah BOEIPA loh, 'Te ol te rhih boeh, Assyria manghai taengca rhoek loh kai n'hliphen te na yaak uh coeng.
And Isaiah said unto them, Thus shall ye say unto 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 Anih te mueihla ka paek vaengah olthang a yaak vetih amah kho la mael bitni. Te vaengah anih te amah kho ah cunghang neh ka cungku sak bitni,’ a ti,” a ti nah.
Behold, I will put an [other] spirit in him, and 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 lamloh a nong te a yaak vaengah khotawt Rabshakeh khaw mael van dae 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 te a yaak coeng lahko. Nang vathoh thil ham ha pawk coeng a ti lah ko. A yaak tangloeng vaengah tah Hezekiah taengla puencawn a tueih tih,
And he heard it said of Thirhakah the king of Ethiopia, He is come out to fight with thee. And when he had heard it, he sent messengers to Hezekiah, saying,
10 “Judah manghai Hezekiah te thui pah. 'Na pangtung thil na Pathen loh nang n'rhaithi boel saeh,’ ti nah. 'Jerusalem khaw Assyria manghai kut dongla pawk mahpawh,’ ti nah.
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 te a saii tih amih a thup te namah loh na yaak coeng dongah na loeih uh venim te.
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 A pa rhoek loh a phae Gozan, Haran, Rezeph neh Telassar kah Eden ca rhoek te amih kah namtom pathen loh a huul a?
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, Sepharvaim khopuei, Hena neh Ivvah manghai te ta,” 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 Puencawn kut lamkah ca te Hezekiah loh a doe tih a tae. Te phoeiah BOEIPA im la cet tih BOEIPA mikhmuh ah Hezekiah loh a phaih.
And Hezekiah took the letter out of the hand of the messengers, and read it: and Hezekiah went up unto the house of the Lord, and spread it out before the Lord.
15 Hezekiah tah BOEIPA taengah thangthui tih,
And Hezekiah prayed unto the Lord, saying,
16 caempuei BOEIPA Israel Pathen, namah loh cherubim na ngol thil tih, diklai ram boeih soah namah bueng Pathen coeng. Namah loh vaan neh diklai na saii.
O Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, who dwellest between the cherubim, thou art the [true] God, thou alone, for all the kingdoms of the earth; [for] it is thou who hast made the heavens and earth.
17 BOEIPA na hna kaeng lamtah hnatun lah. BOEIPA aw na mik dai lamtah hmu van lah. Sennacherib ol te boeih ya van lah. Aka hing Pathen veet hamla hlang a tueih lah ko te.
Bend down, O Lord, thy ear, and hear; open, O Lord, thy eye, and see: and hear all the words of Sennacherib, which he hath sent to blaspheme the living God.
18 Aw BOEIPA, Assyria manghai rhoek loh diklai boeih neh a khohmuen khaw a khah uh coeng.
Truly, Lord, the kings of Assyria have devastated all the nations, and their land;
19 Amih kah pathen te hmai ah a pup pah. Te te pathen moenih. Hlang kut kah bibi thing neh lungto mailai ni, te dongah te rhoek khaw milh uh.
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.
20 Kaimih Pathen Yahovah loh kaimih he anih kut lamloh n'khang pawn saeh. Te vaengah diklai ram pum loh nang namah bueng te BOEIPA la m'ming uh saeh,” a ti nah.
And now, O Lord our God, save us out of his hand, that all the kingdoms of the earth may know that thou art the Lord, thou alone.
21 Te dongah Amoz capa Isaiah loh Hezekiah te a tah tih, “Israel Pathen Yahovah loh, 'Assyria manghai Sennacherib kongah kai taengla na thangthui coeng,’ a ti.
Then sent Isaiah the son of Amoz unto Hezekiah, saying, Thus hath said the Lord the God of Israel, Whereas thou hast prayed to me concerning Sennacherib the king of Assyria:
22 He ol he BOEIPA loh anih ham ni a thui. Zion nu oila nang te n'hnoelrhoeng tih, n'tamdaeng. Nang hnukah 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 she shaketh her head, the daughter of Jerusalem.
23 Unim na veet tih na hliphen dae? Unim ol na huel thil van dae na mik nen tah Israel kah a cim taengah a sang la na huel.
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.
24 Na sal rhoek kah kut loh Boeipa namah te m'veet. Te vaengah ka leng te yet neh Lebanon hlaep kah tlang sang khaw kamah ka yoeng coeng. Lamphai thingsang neh hmaical thinghloe khaw ka top coeng. A khobawt hmuensang kah a cangphill cangngol duup khaw ka pha coeng.
Through thy servants hast thou 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 height of its summit, the forest of its fruitful soil.
25 Kamah loh ka rhawt tih tui ka ok. Egypt sokko boeih ka kho kah khopha neh kak sak.
I have dug, and drunk water; and I will dry up with the sole of my feet all the streams of besieged places.
26 Hlamat kum lamloh ka nuen te daengrhae daengkhoi la na ya pawt nim. Ka hlom tangtae te ka paan coeng he,” na ti. Te dongah cakrhuek khopuei rhoek khaw hlang aka hnuei lungkuk a thaek bangla 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.
27 Amih khosa rhoek kah a kut toi tih rhihyawp uh. Te dongah khohmuen kah baelhing khaw yahhat la om. Imphu kah sulrham, toian thingsuep neh canghli kah te khaw mawn loh a boh.
And thus their inhabitants were of short power, they were discouraged 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.
28 Na om van tih na hlah uh van mai. Na pawk te khaw ka ming ngawn dae kai taengah na tlai hae.
But thy abiding, and thy going out, and thy coming in do I know, and thy raging against me.
29 Kai taengah na tlai neh na mongkawt te ka hna la ha pawk coeng. Te dongah ka thisum neh na hnarhong ah ka dueh vetih na ka ah ka kamrhui kam ban ni. Te vaengah nang te kam mael puei vetih longpuei ah na pongpa 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.
30 Te phoeiah hekah he nang ham ah miknoek la om ni. Kum khat pong vetih a kum bae ah anboe te caak ham om. Tedae a kum thum dongah tawn lamtah at bal. Misur te phung lamtah a thaih te ca khaw ca kolo van.
And this shall be unto thee the sign, Ye shall eat this year what groweth of itself, and in the second year what springeth after the same; and in the third year sow, and reap, and plant vineyards, and eat their fruit.
31 Judah imkhui kah rhalyong te khaw a thap vetih a laedil kah a yung aka sueng tah a hman ah a thaih cuen ni.
And the remnant of the house of Judah that is escaped shall yet strike root downward, and bear fruit upward.
32 Te vaengah Jerusalem lamkah a meet neh Zion tlang lamkah rhalyong te khaw ha pawk ni. Te tlam te caempuei BOEIPA kah thatlainah loh a saii ni.
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.
33 Te ham te BOEIPA loh a thui tangloeng. Assyria manghai te he khopuei khuila kun pawt vetih thaltang pataeng kap mahpawh. photling nen khaw mah 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 shields, nor cast up an embankment against it.
34 Ha pawk nah longpuei long te mael vetih he khopuei khuila ha kun mahpawh. 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.
35 He khopuei he ka tungaep vetih, kamah ham neh ka sal David ham ka khang ni.
And I will shield this city to save it for my own sake, and for the sake of David my servant.
36 Te dongah BOEIPA kah puencawn loh a paan tih Assyria rhaehhmuen ah thawng ya rhet thawng nga te a ngawn pah. Mincang a thoh uh vaengah tah amih te a rhok la boeih duek uh.
Then went out an angel of the Lord, and smote in the camp of the Assyrians one hundred and eighty and five thousand men; and when people arose early in the morning, behold, they were all dead corpses.
37 Te daengah puen uh tih vik cet. Assyria manghai Sennacherib khaw mael tih Nineveh ah kho a sak.
And Sennacherib the king of Assyria departed, and went and returned, and dwelt at Nineveh.
38 Amah a om vaengah a pathen Nisrock im te a bakop thil hatah a ca rhoi Adrammelech neh Sharezer loh cunghang neh a tloek rhoi. Te dongah amih rhoi teArarat kho la poeng rhoi tih ana pa yuengla a capa Esarhaddon te tloep 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.
