2 Siangpahrang 19
1 Siangpahrang Hezekiah ni hote hah a thai toteh, a khohna hah a phi teh, burihni a kâkhu teh BAWIPA im vah a kâen.
And when king Hezekiah had heard this, he tore his garments, and he covered himself with sackcloth, and he entered the house of the Lord.
2 Imthung kahrawikung Eliakim hoi cakathutkung Shebna hoi vaihma kacuenaw ni burihni a kâkhu awh teh Amos capa profet Isaiah koevah a patoun awh.
And he sent Eliakim, the first ruler of the house, and Shebnah, the scribe, and the elders from the priests, covered with sackcloth, to the prophet Isaiah, the son of Amoz.
3 Siangpahrang ni Isaiah koevah, sahnin teh rucatnae hoi yuenae hoi pacekpahleknae hnin doeh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, camo a khenae tue yo a pha ei teh khe nahane a tha awm hoeh.
And they said to him: “Thus says Hezekiah: This day is a day of tribulation, and of rebuke, and of blasphemy. The sons are ready to be born, but the woman in labor does not have the strength.
4 A bawipa Assiria siangpahrang ni, kahring Cathut pacekpahlek hanlah, a patoun e Rebshakeh ni a dei e lawknaw pueng hah BAWIPA Cathut ni thai vaiteh BAWIPA Cathut ni a thai e lawk dawk hoi a yue thai. Hote kecu dawk kaawmnaw hanlah ratoum pouh naseh.
Perhaps the Lord, your God, may hear all the words of Rabshakeh, whom the king of the Assyrians, his lord, sent so that he would reproach the living God, and rebuke with words, which the Lord, your God, has heard. And so, offer a prayer on behalf of the remnant that has been found.”
5 Hahoi teh, Siangpahrang Hezekiah e taminaw teh Isaiah koevah a cei awh.
And the servants of king Hezekiah went to Isaiah.
6 Isaiah ni, ahnimouh koe na bawipa koe hettelah na dei awh han, BAWIPA ni hettelah a dei, na thai awh e lawk Assiria siangpahrang e taminaw ni na pacekpahlek awh e hah taket hanh awh.
And Isaiah said to them: “So shall you say to your lord. Thus says the Lord: Do not be afraid before the face of the words that you have heard, by which the servants of the king of the Assyrians have blasphemed me.
7 Khenhaw! ahnimouh koe muitha buet touh ka patoun han. Kamthang a thai vaiteh, ama ram lah a ban han. Hahoi teh amae ram dawk roeroe vah, tahloi hoi ka kamlei sak han telah atipouh.
Behold, I will send a spirit to him, and he will hear a report, and he will return to his own land. And I will bring him down by the sword in his own land.”
8 Hahoi Rebshakeh teh, a ban teh Assiria siangpahrang ni, Libnah a tuk nah a hmu, bangdawk Lakhish hai yo a tâco toe tie hah a thai.
Then Rabshakeh returned, and he found the king of the Assyrians fighting against Libnah. For he had heard that he had withdrawn from Lachish.
9 Hahoi khenhaw! nang hoi kâtuk hanelah, a kamthaw toe telah, Tirhakah, Ethiopia siangpahrang kong ayâ ni a dei e hah a thai. Hahoi Hezekiah koe patounenaw bout a patoun.
And when he had heard from Tirhakah, the king of Ethiopia, saying, “Behold, he has gone out so that he may fight against you,” and when he went forth against him, he sent messengers to Hezekiah, saying:
10 Hettelah Judah siangpahrang Hezekiah koe na dei pouh han, na kângue awh e na Cathut ni, Jerusalem heh Assiria siangpahrang kut dawk poe mahoeh na ti awh e hah, telah na dum hanh naseh.
“So shall you say to Hezekiah, the king of Judah: Let not your God, in whom you trust, lead you astray. And you should not say, ‘Jerusalem will not be delivered into the hands of the king of the Assyrians.’
11 Khenhaw! Assiria siangpahrangnaw ni, ramnaw pueng koung a raphoe teh, ahnimouh lathueng a sak e naw na thai toe. Nang hah na rungngang han tangngak ma aw
For you yourself have heard what the kings of the Assyrians have done to all the lands, the manner in which they have laid waste to them. Therefore, how would you alone be able to be freed?
12 Kaie mintoenaw ni a raphoe e Gozan, Haran, Rezeph, Eden tami Telassar ahnimae cathutnaw ni a rungngang awh nama aw.
Have the gods of the nations freed any of those whom my fathers have destroyed, such as Gozan, and Haran, and Rezeph, and the sons of Eden, who were at Telassar?
13 Hamath siangpahrang, Arpad siangpahrang, Sepharvaim khopui siangpahrang, Hamath siangpahrang hoi Ivvah siangpahrangnaw hateh, namaw koung ao awh vaw telah atipouh.
Where is the king of Hamath, and the king of Arpad, and the king of the city of Sepharvaim, and of Hena, and of Avva?”
14 Hezekiah ni, a patounenaw kut dawk e ca hah a hmu teh a touk pouh. Hahoi teh Hezekiah teh BAWIPA im a kâen teh BAWIPA hmalah ca teh a kadai.
And so, when Hezekiah had received the letter from the hand of the messengers, and had read it, he ascended to the house of the Lord, and he spread it out before the Lord.
15 Hezekiah ni BAWIPA hmalah a ratoum teh Oe Bawipa, Cherubim rahak vah kho ka sak e Isarel Cathut, nang nama dueng doeh talai van pueng uknaeram thung Cathut lah na kaawm, talai hoi kalvan hai nang ni na sak e doeh.
And he prayed in his sight, saying: “O Lord, God of Israel, who sits upon the cherubim, you alone are God, over all the kings of the earth. You made heaven and earth.
16 Oe BAWIPA, na hnâpakeng haw nateh, na thai pouh haw. Oe BAWIPA na mit padai nateh khenhaw! kahring Cathut pacekpahlek e Sennacherib ni lawk a dei e hah thai haw.
Incline your ear, and listen. Open your eyes, O Lord, and see. And hear all the words of Sennacherib, who sent so that he might reproach the living God before us.
17 BAWIPA, Assiria siangpahrangnaw ni, miphunnaw hoi a ramnaw teh a raphoe ei.
Truly, O Lord, the kings of the Assyrians have devastated all peoples and lands.
18 A cathutnaw hai hmai dawk koung a phum pouh ei. Bangkongtetpawiteh, hotnaw teh cathutnaw ka tang na hoeh. Tami kut hoi sak e, thing hoi talung doeh, hatdawkvah a raphoe awh.
And they have cast their gods into the fire. For they were not gods, but instead were the works of men’s hands, out of wood and stone. And so they destroyed them.
19 Hatdawkvah oe BAWIPA, kaimae Cathut nang nama dueng doeh, BAWIPA Cathut lah na kaawm tie talai uknaeramnaw pueng ni, nang na panue thai nahan, na kut hoi na rungngang lah, telah atipouh.
Now therefore, O Lord our God, bring us salvation from his hand, so that all the kingdoms of the earth may know that you alone are the Lord God.”
20 Hote tueng dawk Amos capa Isaiah ni, Hezekiah koevah Isarel BAWIPA Cathut ni telah a dei. Assiria siangpahrang Sennacherib taran lahoi yah, kai koe a ratoum e teh ka thai toe.
Then Isaiah, the son of Amoz, sent to Hezekiah, saying: “Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel: I have heard what you beseeched from me, concerning Sennacherib, the king of the Assyrians.
21 Hetheh, hot kong dawk hoi BAWIPA ni a dei e doeh. Zion canu tanglakacuem ni, pacekpahlek hoi na panuikhai e hah, Jerusalem canu ni a lû a kahek.
This is the word that the Lord has spoken about him: The virgin daughter of Zion has spurned and ridiculed you. The daughter of Jerusalem has shaken her head behind your back.
22 Apimaw a min na mathoe sak teh, na pacekpahlek. Apimaw lawk hoi na hram sin, na mit na ueng sin, Isarel tami kathoung koe kai ma.
Whom have you reproached, and whom have you blasphemed? Against whom have you exalted your voice, and lifted up your eyes on high? Against the Holy One of Israel!
23 Na patounenaw hno lahoi BAWIPA teh na pacekpahlek. Kaie rangleng moikapap hoi Lebanon ram kadung poung hoi monnaw koe ka pha teh, haw e sidar thing kahawinaw hoi hmaica thingnaw ka tâtueng vaiteh, talai ahawinae ratu, kho a rasang na koe hoe a dung nah koevah, ka kâen han.
By the hand of your servants, you have reproached the Lord, and you have said: ‘By the multitude of my chariots I have ascended to the heights of the mountains, to the summit of Lebanon. And I have cut down its sublime cedars, and its elect spruce trees. And I have entered even to its limits. And its forest of Carmel,
24 Ram alouknaw e tui hah ka tai teh, ka tâco sak teh ouk ka nei, ka khoktabei ni Izip ramnaw pueng koung ka hak sak han telah ati.
I have cut down. And I drank foreign waters, and I dried up all the enclosed waters with the steps of my feet.’
25 Kai ni ayan hai ka sak e nahoehmaw, Atu teh kai ni ka sak e ti teh na panuek hoeh maw. Vaipuen lah a coung nahan raphoe e khopui rapan lah na o nahanelah, hottelah atu koung kahma sak toe.
But have you not heard what I have done from the beginning? From the days of antiquity, I have formed it, and now I have brought it to be. And fortified cities of fighting men will become piles of ruins.
26 Hatdawkvah a thung a kaawm e taminaw teh, tha a youn awh dawkvah, a yawng awh teh yeirai a phu awh.
And whoever may settle in these, they have trembled, with a weak hand, and they have been confounded. They have become like the hay of the field, and like weeds sprouting on the rooftops, which dry up before they reached maturity.
27 Hatei na onae hmuen na kâen, na tâco, kai taranlahoi na lungphuen tie ka panue.
Your habitation, and your exit, and your entrance, and your way, I knew beforehand, along with your fury against me.
28 Bangkongtetpawiteh, kai taranlahoi na lungphuen pawiteh, kai koe ut na sin e teh ka hnâ koe koung a pha toe. Hatdawkvah na hnawng dawk hradang ka ta vaiteh, na pahni hah khakkhui vaiteh, hahoi na thonae koe lam hoi bout na ban sak han.
You have been maddened against me, and your arrogance has ascended to my ears. And so, I will place a ring in your nose, and a bit between your lips. And I will lead you back along the way by which you came.
29 Hetheh, nang hanlah kamnuenae lah ao han. Takum teh amahmawk ka paw e hah, na khan awh vaiteh, palawng haiyah, amahmawk ka paw e na khan awh han. A kum pâthum teh, cang tu awh nateh, misur takha hah sak awh nateh a paw hah cat awh.
But as for you, Hezekiah, this shall be a sign: Eat this year whatever you will find, and in the second year, whatever may spring up of itself. But in the third year, sow and reap; plant vineyards, and eat from their fruit.
30 Judah imthungkhunaw thung dawk ka hlout ni teh kacawiraenaw ni, rahim lah khongyang a pabo vaiteh lathueng lah a paw a paw awh han.
And whatever will have been left behind, from the house of Judah, shall send a root downward, and shall bear fruit upward.
31 Bangtelah tetpawiteh, kaawm e naw hah Jerusalem lahoi a ban awh han. Zion mon dawk kacawiraenaw hah a cei awh han. Ransahu BAWIPA ngaikhainae lahoi hothateh, a sak han.
Indeed, a remnant shall go forth from Jerusalem, and what may be saved shall go forth from mount Zion. The zeal of the Lord of hosts shall accomplish this.
32 Hatdawkvah BAWIPA ni Assiria siangpahrang kong teh, telah doeh a dei. Ahni teh hete khopui kâen mahoeh. Khokhu dawk pala pathui mahoeh. Khopui hmalah bahling hah patue mahoeh, kho lawi vah talai na paten mahoeh.
For this reason, thus says the Lord about the king of the Assyrians: He shall not enter into this city, nor shoot an arrow into it, nor overtake it with the shield, nor encircle it with fortifications.
33 A thonae lam koe lahoi a ban vaiteh, khopui thung kâen mahoeh.
By the way that he came, so shall he return. And he shall not enter this city, says the Lord.
34 Kai kecu dawk hoi thoseh, ka san Devit kecu dawk hoi thoseh, hete khopui teh ka rungngang hanelah ka ring han, BAWIPA ni ati, telah tami a patoun.
And I will protect this city, and I will save it for my own sake, and for the sake of my servant David.”
35 Hahoi teh hote tangmin vah, BAWIPA kalvantami hah a cei teh, Assirianaw ni a roenae hmuen dawk 185,000 a thei awh. Amom maya a thaw toteh khenhaw! ro doeh patkâhai toe.
And so it happened that, in the same night, an Angel of the Lord went and struck down, in the camp of the Assyrians, one hundred and eighty-five thousand. And when he had risen up, at first light, he saw all the bodies of the dead. And withdrawing, he went away.
36 Hahoi Assiria siangpahrang Sennacherib teh, a tâco, im vah a ban teh Nineveh kho vah pou ao.
And Sennacherib, the king of the Assyrians, returned and dwelled in Nineveh.
37 Hahoi, a cathut Nisroch im vah a bawk lahun nah a capa Adrammelek hoi Sharezer ni, tahloi hoi a thei roi teh, Ararat ram vah a yawng roi. Hahoi a capa Esarhaddon ni a yueng lah a uk.
And while he was worshipping in the temple of his god, Nisroch, his sons, Adram-melech and Sharezer, struck him with the sword. And they fled into the land of the Armenians. And Esarhaddon, his son, reigned in his place.
