2 Siangpahrang 20
1 Hote tueng nah, Hezekiah teh a pataw teh meimei a due. Hahoi Amos capa profet Isaiah a tho teh ahni koe BAWIPA ni telah a dei. Na imthungkhu hah, cingthui leih. Bangkongtetpawiteh, na due han, na hring mahoeh toe telah atipouh.
About this time Hezekiah fell very sick and was about to die. The prophet Isaiah, son of Amoz, went to him and said, “This is what the Lord says: Put your affairs in order, because you are going to die. You won't recover.”
2 Hahoi tapang koe lah a kamlang teh BAWIPA koevah,
When Hezekiah heard this, he went to pray privately to the Lord, saying
3 Oe BAWIPA na hmalah yuemkamcu e lungthin hoi ka o e hoi na mithmu vah hawinae ka sak e hah na pahnim pouh hanh, telah Hezekiah teh a khuika laihoi a ratoum.
“Please remember Lord how I have followed you faithfully with all my heart. I have done what is good in your sight.” Then Hezekiah cried and cried.
4 Isaiah teh khopui lungui a pha hoehnahlan, BAWIPA e lawk hah ahni koe a pha pouh.
Before Isaiah had left the middle courtyard, the Lord spoke to him, saying,
5 Ban nateh ka taminaw kahrawikung Hezekiah koevah dei pouh. BAWIPA Devit e BAWIPA Cathut ni hettelah a dei. Ratoumnae ka thai teh na mitphi ka hmu toe. Na dam sak mingming han. Apâthum hnin vah BAWIPA im vah bout na cei han.
“Go back in and tell Hezekiah, the ruler of my people, This is what the Lord, the God of your forefather David, says: I have heard your prayer, I have seen your tears. Look! I am going to heal you. In three days time you will go to the Lord's Temple.
6 Hahoi na hringnae hah kum hlaipanga touh ka thap sin han. Assiria siangpahrang kut dawk hoi nang nama hoi na khopui hah, ka rungngang vaiteh, kai hoi ka san Devit kecu dawk hete khopui heh ka ring han telah a ti.
I will add fifteen years to your life. I will save you and this city from the king of Assyria. I will defend this city for my sake and for the sake of my servant David.”
7 Hahoi Isaiah ni, thaibunglung paw buem buet touh thokhai awh haw atipouh e patetlah, a thokhai teh, a hmâ dawk a bet teh pin ahawi.
Then Isaiah said, “Prepare a dressing from figs.” Hezekiah's servants did so and put it on the skin sores, and Hezekiah got better.
8 Hezekiah ni Isaiah koevah BAWIPA ni na dam sak han, apâthum hnin vah, BAWIPA im vah bout na cei han tie mitnout teh bang han na maw telah a pacei.
Hezekiah had previously asked Isaiah, “What is the sign to confirm that the Lord is going heal me and that I will go to the Lord's Temple in three days time?”
9 Isaiah ni, BAWIPA ni a dei e hah a sak roeroe han tie nang hanlah BAWIPA koehai mitnout lah kaawm han. Tâhlip hah, lakhout hra touh luen sak maw na ngai, hoehpawiteh hra touh kum sak maw na ngai atipouh.
Isaiah replied, “This is the sign from the Lord to you that the Lord will do what he promised: Do you want the shadow to go forward ten steps, or back ten steps?”
10 Hezekiah ni a pathung teh tâhlip lakhout hra touh a luen hane teh ayawica dawkvah telah teh tho na hanh seh. Tâhlip hah lakhout hra touh kum naseh telah atipouh.
“It's easy enough for the shadow to go forward ten steps, but not to go back ten steps,” Hezekiah answered.
11 Hottelah profet Isaiah ni BAWIPA hah a kaw toteh, Ahaz e kanîsuimilam dawk e a tâhlip lakhout hra touh ka cet tangcoung e hah lakhout hra touh a ban sak.
So Isaiah the prophet asked the Lord, and he moved the shadow back the ten steps it had gone down on the stairway of Ahaz.
12 Hote tueng nah, Babilon siangpahrang Baladan capa Berodakbaladan ni ca hoi poehno hoi Hezekiah teh a patawn. Bangkongtetpawiteh, Hezekiah teh a pataw tie a panue.
At the same time Merodach-baladan, son of Baladan, king of Babylon, sent letters and a gift to Hezekiah, because he had heard that Hezekiah was sick.
13 Hottelah Hezekiah ni, ahnimanaw teh im a luen sak awh. Hno Aphu kaawmnaw tanae pueng hoi sui hoi ngun, hmuitui hoi, aphu kaawm poung e satui hoi tarantuknae puengcangnaw tanae imthung hoi râw onae naw pueng hai a khet sak. A im thoseh, a ram thung kaawm e thoseh, Hezekiah ni a khet sak hoeh e banghai awm hoeh.
Hezekiah welcomed the visitors and showed them everything in his treasury—all the silver, the gold, the spices, and the expensive oils. He also showed them his armory and all that he had in his storehouses. In fact there wasn't anything in his palace or in the whole of his kingdom that Hezekiah didn't show them.
14 Hote tueng nah, profet Isaiah ni, siangpahrang Hezekiah koe a cei teh, ahni koe vah, hote taminaw ni bangmaw a dei awh. Na lahoi maw a tho awh telah atipouh. Hezekiah ni kahlatpoung e ram Babilon hoi kathonaw doeh atipouh.
Then the prophet Isaiah went to King Hezekiah and asked him, “Where did those men come from, and what did they tell you?” “They came from a long way away, from Babylon,” Hezekiah replied.
15 Ahnimouh ni, na imthungkhu bangmaw a hmu awh atipouh. Hezekiah ni ka imthungkhu kaawmnaw teh be ka patue teh, hnoim thung e ka pâtue hoeh e banghai awm hoeh atipouh.
“What did they see in your palace?” Isaiah asked. “They saw everything in my palace,” replied Hezekiah. “There wasn't anything in all my storehouses I didn't show them.”
16 Isaiah ni, Hezekiah koevah, BAWIPA e lawk heh thai haw.
Isaiah told Hezekiah, “Listen to what the Lord says:
17 Khenhaw! na imthungkhu kaawmnaw puenghoi sahnin totouh na mintoenaw ni a pâtung e naw heh Babilon kho vah a ceikhainae tueng ka phat han, banghai a ceitakhai e awm mahoeh telah BAWIPA ni a ti.
You can be certain that the time is coming when everything in your palace, and everything that your forefathers have saved up until now, will be taken away to Babylon. There will be nothing left, says the Lord.
18 Hahoi na imthungkhu dawk na khe awh han rae na canaw hah a ceikhai awh vaiteh, Babilon siangpahrang im vah tuenlanaw lah a coung sak han telah atipouh.
Some of your sons, your own offspring, will be taken to serve as eunuchs in the palace of the king of Babylon.”
19 Hezekiah ni Isaiah koevah na dei e BAWIPA lawk hah ahawi. Bangkongtetpawiteh, kaie ka se dawkvah roumnae hoi lawkkatang hah awm mahoeh toung maw atipouh.
Hezekiah said to Isaiah, “The message from the Lord that you have told me is fine.” For he said to himself, “Why not, if there'll be peace and safety in my lifetime.”
20 Hot patetlah Hezekiah tawksaknae thung dawk hoi kaawm rae naw, a sakyoenae pueng tuiim hoi tui lanae a sak teh khopui thung dawk tui lanae kong teh, Judah siangpahrang setouknae cauk dawk thut lah ao nahoehmaw.
The rest of what happened in Hezekiah's reign, all he did, and how he made the pool and the tunnel to bring water into the city, are recorded in the Book of Chronicles of the Kings of Judah.
21 Hezekiah teh a na mintoenaw koe vah a kâhat teh a capa Manasseh ni a yueng lah a uk.
Hezekiah died, and his son Manasseh succeeded him as king.
