They told him, “This is what Hezekiah says: Today is a day of trouble, punishment. It's like when babies arrive at the entrance to the birth canal but there's no strength to deliver them.
4 Ahinlah Assyria lengpan a sepai lamkai pipuipa ahinsol’a hingjing Pathen chouna a athusei jouse chu Pakai na Pathen in hiche engkalna kiseiho hi ngai hen chuleh ahing nalai keiho chengse dingin Pathen henga hung tao teijin,” ati.
Maybe the Lord your God, hearing the message the army commander delivered on behalf of his master, the king of Assyria—a message sent to insult the living God—will punish him for his words. Please say a prayer for the remnant of us who still survive.”

After Hezekiah's officials delivered his message to Isaiah,
6 Themgaopa chun hitin adonbut in ahi, “NaPakaipau kom’a chun hitin seipeh un, Pakaiyin hitin aseije, Assyria lengpan keidouna thuchavei tah aseiho jeh hin lungkham hihen
Isaiah replied to them, “Tell your master, This is what the Lord says: Don't be frightened by the words that you have heard, the words used by the servants of the king of Assyria to blaspheme me.
7 Vetan keimatah in ama douna pan kalah ding ahi, chutengleh hiche lengpa hin thulamleng khat ajah ding ainlam’a kile ding chuteng keiman kathading ahitai,” ati.
Look, I'm going to scare him—he'll hear a rumor, and he'll have to return to his own country. When he's there I'll have him killed by the sword.”

The Assyrian army commander left and went back to join the king of Assyria, having heard the king had left Lachish and was attacking Libnah.

Sennacherib had received a message about Tirhakah, king of Ethiopia, that said, “Watch out! He has set out to attack you.” So Sennacherib sent messengers again to Hezekiah, saying,
10 “Hiche thuhi Judah lengpa Hezekiah a ding ahi, Natahsantah na Pathen chun Assyria lengpan Jerusalem hi alah joulou ding ahi atin, na Pathen chu kilhep lhah sah hihin.
“Tell Hezekiah, king of Judah: ‘Don't let your God, the one you're trusting in, fool you by saying that Jerusalem won't fall into the hands of the king of Assyria.

Look! You've heard what the kings of Assyria have done to all the countries they've invaded— they destroyed them completely! Do you really think you'll be saved?

Did the gods of the nations my forefathers destroyed save them—the gods of Gozan, Haran, Rezeph, and the people of Eden who lived in Telassar?
13 Arpad khopi leng Hamath khopi chunga ipi soh em? Ivvah, Hena, Sepharvaim lengho iti gam’ah hiu hitam?” tin aseiyin ahi.
Where today is the king of Hamath, the king of Arpad, the king of the city of Sepharvaim, the king of Hena, or the king of Ivvah?”
14 Solle ho kona hiche thuthot hi Hezekiah in amuphat’in alan asimtai, Pakai houin na achen Pakai angah aphajallin,
Hezekiah received the letter from the messengers and read it. Then he went up to the Lord's Temple and opened it out before the Lord.
15 Pakai ang’a Hezekiah hitin ataovin, “Vo Vantil lhaving nei Cherubim te kikah a laltounna a tou, Pakai, Israel Pathen, vannoi leiset a lenggam jouse chung’a Pathen nangbou nahi. Nangbouvin van leh leiset nasem ahi.
Hezekiah prayed to the Lord, saying, “Lord, God of Israel, you who live above the cherubim, you alone are God over all the kingdoms of the earth, you are Creator of heaven and earth.
16 Vo Pakai, kachung uva thilsoh hohi ven, chule Sennacherib in hingjing Pathen douna athuseiho pihi ngaitem’in.
Please listen with your ears, Lord, and hear; open your eyes, Lord, and see. Listen to the message that Sennacherib has sent to insult the living God.
17 Pakai, Assyria lenghon namtin vaipi asuhgam’a, agamsung jouseu asuhbei gam’u ahi.
Yes, it's true, Lord, that the Assyrian kings have destroyed these nations and their lands.
18 Chule amahon hiche namdang hon ahou’u apathen houjeng jong meiya alelut’a ahal gamu ahitai. Ahichu Assyriaten a pathen houchu asuhset uva agovam thei mong’u ahinai, ajeh chu amaho chu mihem khut’a kisem, songle thing’a kisemthu doi ho chu ahibouvui.
They have thrown their gods into the fire because they are not really gods—they are just the work of human hands, made of wood and stone so they could destroy them.
19 Tuhin, O Pakai Pathen, Assyria mite thaneina akonin neihuhdoh un, chutileh vannoi leiset a lenggam ho jousen nangma bou hi Pakai Pathen nahi ahetdiu ahi,” ati.
Now, Lord our God, please save us from him, in order that all the kingdoms of the earth may know that only you, Lord, are God.”
20 Hiche jouchun Amoz chapa Isaiah in Hezekiah chu thu athot’in, “Hiche hi Pakai Israel Pathen chun asei ahi. Assyria lengpa Sennacherib chungchang’a nataona kajah peh tai.
Then Isaiah, son of Amoz, sent a message to Hezekiah, saying, “This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: I have heard your prayer about Sennacherib, king of Assyria.
21 Chule Pakaiyin ama dounan hiti hin thu aseije, “Nungah theng Zion chanu chun nangma navetda in nahin nuisat’in ahi. Jerusalem chanu chun nangma pum chun isahlou tah’in alu nahin hih khum’e,
This is the word the Lord condemning him: The virgin daughter of Zion scorns you and mocks you; the daughter of Jerusalem shakes her head as you run away.
22 Koiham nangin noise tah’a naphin phin chu, koidouna thu nasap ham? Koiham nangin changmel’a navet chu? Hiche Israel mithengte ahiuve!
Who have you been insulting and ridiculing? Who did you raise your voice against? Who did you look at with so proud eyes? It was against the Holy One of Israel!

By your servants you have mocked the Lord. You said: ‘With my many chariots I have ascended to the high mountains, to the farthest peaks of Lebanon. I have chopped down its tallest cedars, the best of its cypress trees. I have reached its most distant outposts, its deepest forests.
24 Nam chom ho gamsunga jong twikul kalaidoh’in chuleh atwijong kadonji nati, kakeng teni jong Egypt vadung jouse kachotkang hel’e nati.
I have dug wells and drunk water in foreign lands. With the soles of my feet I dried up all the rivers in Egypt.’”
25 Ahinlah nangin najah khahlou lai ham? Hiche hi sotna ahitan, sotna kanagon pat ahitai, tuahi kahinso dohsah ding ahi, keiman kul kigenkhum khopi ho nasuhchipna dingleh nasuhgoihel na dinga kanagon ahi.
The Lord replies, “Haven't you heard? I decided it long ago; I planned it in the olden days. Now I am making sure it happens—that you are to knock down fortified towns into piles of rubble.
26 Hijeh a chu amiteho uvin tha anei joulou’u chuleh amahohi kichauva lungboija ahitauve. Amahohi hampa banga thaneijoulou ahiuvin, hampa hung poudohtil lhonal jing thei tobang ahiuve. Amahohi inchunga hampa hungpoudoh til tobang ahin, phat masanga nisan akah lihji tobang ahiuve.
Their people, powerless, are terrified and humiliated. They're like plants in a field, like soft green shoots, like grass that sprouts on rooftop—scorched before it can even grow.
27 Ahinlah ken nangma hoiya kona nahung, hoilanga nache chuleh hoiya naum kahesoh keiye, chuleh nangin ichangeiya keima douna-a nachon jeng ham tijong kahei.
But I know you very well—where you live, when you come in, when you leave, and your furious anger against me.
28 Chule hitia hi keima douna a nachelhah jing chujongleh neidou jing naho keima tah’in kajah ahin, keiman nanahkuiya nahkhao kabupeh’a, nanephu tenia kamdal kakoipeh ding nahi, chutengleh nahung kona nalampi mama a chu nakinung le kit ding ahi,” ati.
Because of your furious anger against me, and because I know how you disrespect me, I'm going to put my hook in your nose and my bit in your mouth, and I will force you to return the same way you came.”
29 Hichun Isaiah in Hezekiah kom’ah, “Kathusei hi adih’e ti nahetna ding phatah chu hichehi hiding ahi, Tukum sunga hi achamcham'a hung kehdoh muchi gabou naneh diu ahi, akumkit leh hichea kon mama a hung gadoh a chu naneh kit dingu ahi. Ahin kum thum changphat vangleh muchi natua kona chu naki-at ding ahin chuleh lengpilei jong nabol’a aga nanehding ahitai.
“Hezekiah, this will be a sign to prove this is true: This year you'll eat what grows by itself. The second year you'll eat what grows from that. But in the third year you'll sow and reap, you'll plant vineyards and eat their fruit.
30 Chuleh nangle, Judah gamsunga amoh chengse, athimoh ahingdoh chasun chun ajung’u akhothuh chehdiu, chule hung khangtou cheh uva hung kisepdoh ding ahiuve.
The remnant that's left of Judah will revive again, sending roots below and bearing fruit above.
31 Ajeh chu Jerusalem ma kona kamite amoh changes leh Zion molla kona ahingdoh ho chengse chutoh hung kithe jalding ahi. Hatchungnung Pakaiyin amikhotona ‘a pan alahna chu ahin tahdoh ding ahi,” ati.
For a remnant will come out of Jerusalem, and survivors will come from Mount Zion. The intense determination of the Lord will make sure this happens.
32 Assyria lengpa chungchanga Pakai thusei chu hichehi ahi, “Asepaiteu chu Jerusalem’a lutlou diu ahi, amahon thal changkhat jong ahin kaplut jouloudiu ahi. Amahon a-ompho’u puma kelkot pam’a hi kijot loudiu chujongleh khopi umna dinga leipel aset lou dingu ahi.
This is what the Lord says about the king of Assyria: He shall not enter this city or shoot an arrow at it. He shall not advance towards it with a shield, or build a siege ramp against it.
33 Lengpa chun ahungna lampi’a hunglut louding ahi,” tin Pakaiyin aseje.
He shall return the same way he came, and he shall not enter this city, says the Lord.
34 “Kamin loupina dingleh kasohpa David khohsahna jal’in keiman hiche khopi hi kavenbit’a kahuhdoh ding ahi,” ati.
I will defend this city and save it, for my own sake and for the sake of my servant David.”
35 Hiche jan chun Pakai vantil khat Assyriate ngahmun ah achen Assyriate sepai sangsom le sang get le ja nga hochu aga that tan ahi. Ahing doh Assyriate chu jingkah’a agah thodoh uleh mithilong chu muntin’ah amu tauvin ahi.
That night the angel of the Lord went to the Assyrian camp and killed 185,000. When the survivors woke up in the morning, they were surrounded by dead bodies.
36 Assyria lengpa Sennacherib chun ngahmun ahin dalhan, ama gamsunga ahung kiletan ahi. Ama Nineveh khopia ainlam ajonnin hichea chun aumtan ahi.
Sennacherib, king of Assyria, gave up and left. He returned home to Nineveh and stayed there.
37 Nikhat hi semthu pathen Nisroch chu ahouin’a aga hou pettah’in, achateni Adrammelech leh Sharezer chun chemjam’in athat lhontan ahi. Amani chu Ararat gamlang’ah ajam lhonin acha dangkhat Esarhaddon kitipa chun Assyria lengmun ahinlo tan ahi.
While he was worshiping in the temple of his god Nisroch, his sons Adrammelech and Sharezer killed him with the sword and then ran away to the land of Ararat. His son Esar-haddon succeeded him as king.
