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.
When Hezekiah heard it, he tore his clothes, put on sackcloth, and went into the Lord's Temple.
2 Imthung kahrawikung Eliakim hoi cakathutkung Shebna hoi vaihma kacuenaw ni burihni a kâkhu awh teh Amos capa profet Isaiah koevah a patoun awh.
He sent Eliakim the palace manager, Shebna, the scribe, and the leading priests, all wearing sackcloth, to see the prophet Isaiah, 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.
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 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.
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.”
5 Hahoi teh, Siangpahrang Hezekiah e taminaw teh Isaiah koevah a cei awh.
After Hezekiah's officials delivered his message 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.
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 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.
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.”
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.
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.
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.
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 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.
“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.
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
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?
12 Kaie mintoenaw ni a raphoe e Gozan, Haran, Rezeph, Eden tami Telassar ahnimae cathutnaw ni a rungngang awh nama aw.
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 Hamath siangpahrang, Arpad siangpahrang, Sepharvaim khopui siangpahrang, Hamath siangpahrang hoi Ivvah siangpahrangnaw hateh, namaw koung ao awh vaw telah atipouh.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 BAWIPA, Assiria siangpahrangnaw ni, miphunnaw hoi a ramnaw teh a raphoe ei.
Yes, it's true, Lord, that the Assyrian kings have destroyed these nations and their 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.
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 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, 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 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, 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 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 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 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.
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!
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 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 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 dug wells and drunk water in foreign lands. With the soles of my feet I dried up all the rivers in Egypt.’”
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.
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 Hatdawkvah a thung a kaawm e taminaw teh, tha a youn awh dawkvah, a yawng awh teh yeirai a phu awh.
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 Hatei na onae hmuen na kâen, na tâco, kai taranlahoi na lungphuen tie ka panue.
But I know you very well—where you live, when you come in, when you leave, and your furious anger 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.
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 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.
“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 Judah imthungkhunaw thung dawk ka hlout ni teh kacawiraenaw ni, rahim lah khongyang a pabo vaiteh lathueng lah a paw a paw awh han.
The remnant that's left of Judah will revive again, sending roots below and bearing fruit above.
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.
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 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.
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 A thonae lam koe lahoi a ban vaiteh, khopui thung kâen mahoeh.
He shall return the same way he came, 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.
I will defend this city and 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.
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 Hahoi Assiria siangpahrang Sennacherib teh, a tâco, im vah a ban teh Nineveh kho vah pou ao.
Sennacherib, king of Assyria, gave up and left. He returned home to Nineveh and stayed there.
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.
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.
