2 Thusimbu 32

1 Hezekiah lengpa hin kitahna neitah a Pakai lungdeilam ahollai tah in Assyria lengpa Sennacherib hin Judah gam sung ahin bulutan ahi. Aman kulkikai khum khopiho ahin lonvuhtan chuleh asepaite chu kulpi palhochu vochipma khopi sunga lutdingin thu apen ahi

After these things, and after this manner of truth, Sennacherib, the king of the Assyrians arrived. And entering Judah, he besieged the fortified cities, desiring to seize them.

2 Sennacherib min Jerusalem khopi ahin nokhumtai ti amu phatnin,

And when Hezekiah had seen this, specifically that Sennacherib had arrived, and that the entire force of the war was turning against Jerusalem,

3 Amanam a noija lamkai holeh sepai lamkai hotoh akihoutoh in khopi polamma longdoh twi chu sutang ding tin aki loltaove

he took counsel with the rulers and with the most valiant men, so that they might obstruct the heads of the springs which were beyond the city. And with everyone discerning the same judgment about this,

4 Hitichun mitamtah akikhom doh un twi gamsunga long lutjouse chu asutang gammun hitin aseijuve: “Ipi dinga Assyria lengpa chu hunga twi neng jeng junga amuthei diu ham?” atiove

he gathered together a great multitude, and they obstructed all the springs, and the brook which was flowing through the midst of the land, saying: “Otherwise, the kings of the Assyrians might arrive and find an abundance of water.”

5 Hitichun aman khopi chim hochu asemphan khopi sunga panmun akisem toh'in akisuh hatnin pal chunga insang hojong atungdoh in chuleh polanga palchom jong asemben, galmanchah holeh ompho hojong neng chetnin asemmin ahi

Also, acting industriously, he built up the entire wall that had been broken apart. And he constructed towers upon it, and another wall outside it. And he repaired Millo, in the City of David. And he made all kinds of weapons and shields.

6 Hiche banna chun aman aman khopi sunga mipi hochu sepai lamkaiho noija akoiyin amahochun khopi kelkot kom mun onglai jachun akhommin hitihin ajah uva chun tilkhou na thu aseijin ahi

And he appointed leaders of the warriors within the army. And he summoned them all to the wide street of the gate of the city. And he spoke to their heart, saying:

7 ”Hatnunglang hangun Assyria lengpa leh ahinkilhon pi mihonpi jehkhun kicha hih un, ajeh chu ama umpiho sangin eiho umpi ho atamjouve” ati

“Act manfully and be strengthened. Do not be afraid. Neither should you dread the king of the Assyrians and the entire multitude that is with him. For many more are with us than with him.

8 Ajeh chu ama umpi hohi tahsaphe muthei sepaiho ahiove amavang eiho ei umpiova chu Pakai Pathen ahin amatah in igallu hi eisat hu pehdiu ahi” ati. Hiti hin Judah lengpa Hezekiah thucheng hohin mipi hochu alung ngamsah in ahan sansah lheh jengtan ahi

For with him is an arm of flesh; with us is the Lord our God, who is our helper, and who fights for us.” And the people were strengthened by this type of words from Hezekiah, the king of Judah.

9 Hiche jouhin Assyria lengpa Sennacherib chun asoh teho chu Jerusalem langah asollin, Judah lengpa Hezekiah leh Jerusalem ma um Judah te jouse komma chun aseisah in:

After these things, Sennacherib, the king of the Assyrians, sent his servants to Jerusalem, (for he and his entire army were besieging Lachish) to Hezekiah, the king of Judah, and to all the people who were in the city, saying:

10 Assyria lengpa Sennacherib min hitin aseije ipi kisonpi nanei juva kalonvuh khumsa Jerusalem mahi nahiti um ngamu ham?

“Thus says Sennacherib, the king of the Assyrians: In whom do you have faith, as you sit besieged in Jerusalem?

11 Nalengpao Hezekiah in Pakai na Pathenun keiho lengpa a konna nahuh diuva asei chu najou lhepmu ahin, gilkel le dangchah a nathisah gamgot nu ahibouve

Does not Hezekiah deceive you, so that he would deliver you to die from hunger and thirst, by affirming that the Lord your God will free you from the hand of the king of the Assyrians?

12 Ama hilouham houdang maicham leh halnam ho susea Judah te Jerusalem mipi te jah a houkhat seh leh maicham khatsehbou neiding tia chu Hezekiah hilouham?

Is this not the same Hezekiah who destroyed his own high places and altars, and who instructed Judah and Jerusalem, saying: ‘You shall worship before one altar, and you shall burn incense upon it?’

13 Kapu kapateo leh keiman nam dang ho chunga katohnaohi nahet lou uham? Namdnagho pathen hon Assyria lengpa – a konna amite ahuhhing jou mong mong ngam?

Do you not know what I and my fathers have done to all the peoples of the lands? Have the gods of the nations and all the lands prevailed so as to free their region from my hand?

14 Itih monga gamdang pathen nin agammi keihoa konna ahuhdoh jou beh am? Ahileh tua chu iti nangai touva na Pathennu chun keihoa konna nahuhdoh joudiuva chu ipin nakinepsah uham?

Who is there, out of all the gods of the nations that my fathers destroyed, who is able to rescue his people from my hand, so that now also your God would be able to rescue you from this hand?

15 Phatah in kingai touvin Hezekiah chu hitichun ki lheplhah sah hih un, Tahsan hih un koimacha nam pathen nin Assyria lengpa – a kon in amite ahuhdoh jou pon ahi. Tahbeh in nangho Pathen nin jong kei hoa konna nang ho nahuhdoh joubeh dingham?

Therefore, let not Hezekiah deceive or delude you with vain persuasion. And you should not believe him. For if no god out of all the nations and kingdoms was able to free his people from my hand, and from the hand of my fathers, consequently neither will your God be able to rescue you from my hand.”

16 Assyria lamkai hochun Pakai Pathen leh Pathen sohpa Hezekiah demna chu thilthang hoi tah tahjong aseijun ahi

Then too, his servants were speaking many other things against the Lord God, and against his servant Hezekiah.

17 Assyria lengpan athot lekha chun Israel Pakai Pathen chu aha dem lheh jengin ahi. Hichun aseije: “Namdnag ho pathenin katha nein a – a kon in amiteo ahuhdoh jou pouvin ahi, Hezekiah Pathennin jong keija kon in amite huhdoh joupon te” atin ahi

Also, he wrote letters full of blasphemy against the Lord God of Israel. And against him he said: “Just as the gods of other nations were unable to free their people from my hand, so also is the God of Hezekiah unable to rescue his people from this hand.”

18 Amahon mipi hetding chun Hebrew paovin Jerusalem mipiho leh palchunga umho jahdinga ahet thei dingu chuleh lungneosah ding hitia chu bailamtah a jothei nading atio ahi

Moreover, he also shouted with a great clamor, in the language of the Jews, toward the people who were sitting upon the walls of Jerusalem, so that he might frighten them and so seize the city.

19 Judate Pathen chu nam dang dangho semthu pathen toh kibanga aseikhum jengu ahi

And he was speaking against the God of Jerusalem, just as against the gods of the peoples of the earth, which are works of the hands of men.

20 Tun Hezekiah lengpa leh Isaiah Amoz chapa chu Pathen hengah kaple pengin ataolhon tan ahi

And Hezekiah the king, and Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amoz, prayed against this blasphemy, and they cried out to heaven.

21 Hijouchun avantil khat ahin sollin hiche vantil chun mihang mihat, lamkai Assyria lengpa sepai hojouse chu athat gamhel tan ahi. Hichun ama jahchatah leh jumtah in agamma akile tan ahi. Hichun aman asemthu Pathen houinna aum sungin achate alut un chemjam min asat lih taovin ahi

And the Lord sent an Angel, who struck all the experienced men and warriors, and the leaders of the army of the king of the Assyrians. And he returned in disgrace to his own land. And when he had entered the house of his god, the sons who had gone forth from his loins killed him with the sword.

22 Hitichun Pakaiyin Hezekiah lengpa leh Jerusalem mipi techu Assyria lengpa leh galmi danghoa kon in ahuhdoh tan ahi. Hitichun Pathenin amite chu avelluva cheng gamsung mihoa kon in jong chamna alensah taan ahi

And the Lord saved Hezekiah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem from the hand of Sennacherib, the king of the Assyrians, and from the hand of all. And he presented to them peace on every side.

23 Mitamtah in Jerusalem Pakai jadingin kiphaldohna thilpeh ahin choijun chuleh Judah lengpa Hezekiah dingin kipa thilpeh ahung peovin hichea konhin Hezekiah chu namtin lah a choisangin a um taan ahi

And now many were bringing victims and sacrifices to the Lord in Jerusalem, and gifts to Hezekiah, the king of Judah. And after these things, he was exalted before all the nations.

24 Hichephat laisung hin Hezekiah chu ahung dammotan athi kon ahitaan, Pathen komma ataovin ahileh Pathenin nadamdoh ding ahinai atin melchih nakhat apen ahi

In those days, Hezekiah was sick, even unto death, and he prayed to the Lord. And he heeded him, and gave to him a sign.

25 Ahinlah Hezekiah chu Pakaiyin Judah leh Jerusalem chuleh amachunga thilpha abolpeh ho chunga kipathu seithei loukhop min ahung kiletsah taan hijechun amachung leh Judah le Jerusalem chunga chun Pathen lunghan na ahung chu tan ahi.

But he did not repay according to the benefits which he had received, for his heart was lifted up. And so wrath was brought against him, and against Judah and Jerusalem.

26 Hiphat chun amaleh Judah te leh Jerusalem miteho nasatah in akisunem mun ahileh Hezekiah hinlai sungin achung'uva hunglhung ding hochu asoh tapon ahi

And after this, he was humbled, because he had exalted his heart, both he and the inhabitants of Jerusalem. And therefore the wrath of the Lord did not overwhelm them in the days of Hezekiah.

27 Hezekiah chun neilegou ahaolheh jengtaan jana lentah jong achangin ahi. Aman sana le dangka chuleh song mantam, namtwi ho, ompho holeh thilman tamtah ho koinading dankhat jong asaovin ahi

Now Hezekiah was wealthy and very famous. And he gathered for himself many treasures of silver and gold and precious stones, of aromatics, and all kinds of weapons, and vessels of great price,

28 Hiche chung chonnin jong chang le mim, lengpitwi chuleh Olive thao le ganchaho koitup na ding chuleh kelngoi chalho inding akikolkhum agetpeh in ahi

and also repositories of grain, wine, and oil, and stalls for every beast of burden, and fencing for cattle.

29 Hicheho banna hin Pathennin kelngoi gancha jatchom chom tamtah leh neile gou tamtah anapen khopi tamtah jong anatun dohsah in ahi

And he built for himself cities. For indeed, he had innumerable herds and flocks of sheep. For the Lord had given to him an exceedingly great substance.

30 Hichu Hezekiah hin Gihon vadung twilondoh na achungnungjo jongchu ana ting tangin David khopi nilhum lang ngin asuh lonsah in ahi. Hiche Hezekiah hi atoh na lam lammah akhangtou lheh jengin ahi

This same Hezekiah was the one who blocked the upper font of the waters of Gihon, and who diverted them down to the western part of the City of David. In all his works, he prosperously accomplished whatever he willed.

31 Babylon khopi lhalheng hon hiche gamsunga thil kidang tah tah sohdoh ho kholtoh dinga ahung u chun Pathennin apatepmin achanglha tan ahi

Yet still, concerning the legates from the leaders of Babylon, who had been sent to him so that they might inquire about the portent which had happened upon the earth, God permitted him to be tempted, so that everything might be made known which was in his heart.

32 Hezekiah lengpan athil bol jouse leh Pakaija akipeh na ho jouse chu Amos chapa Isaiah gaothilmu hotoh Judah leh Israel lengte thusim kijih na lekhabu a akijih lutsoh keijin ahi

Now the rest of the words of Hezekiah, and his mercies, have been written in the vision of the prophet Isaiah, the son of Amos, and in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel.

33 Hezekiah athiphatnin lengte kivuina na lhaan achungnung pa achun avuijun ahi. Judah holeh Jerusalem mipiten athichun jana nasatah anapeovin ahi, Hitichun achapa Manasseh in lengmun alo taan ahi

And Hezekiah slept with his fathers. And they buried him above the sepulchers of the sons of David. And all of Judah, and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, celebrated his funeral. And his son, Manasseh, reigned in his place.
