Isaiah 36
1 Hezekiah siangpahrang a bawinae kum 14 nah Assiria siangpahrang Sennacherib ni Judah ram kacakpounge kho kaawm e pueng hah a tuk teh a lawp.
And it came to pass in the fourteenth year of king Hezekiah, that Sennacherib the king of Assyria came up against all the fortified cities of Judah, and seized on them.
2 Hathnukkhu Assiria siangpahrang, Rabshakeh hah ransanaw moikapap hoi Lakhish kho hoi Hezekiah onae Jerusalem vah a patoun. Hote ransabawi a tho teh, kapâsukung e laikawk teng kaawm e lamthung lamtung e tuiim teng vah a kangdue.
And the king of Assyria sent Rabshakeh from Lachish to Jerusalem to king Hezekiah with a strong army. And he halted by the aqueduct of the upper pool on the highway of the washer's field.
3 Hat toteh, Hilkiah capa Eliakim, cakathutkung Shebna hoi Asaph capa Joab cayin kuenkung tinaw teh ahni koe a cei awh.
Then came forth unto him Elyakim, the son of Chilkiyahu, who was superintendent over the house, and Shebna the scribe, and Yoach the son of Assaph, the recorder.
4 Rabshakeh ni ahnimouh koe a dei e teh, Hezekiah siangpahrang koe bout dei pouh awh. Ka lentoe e siangpahrang, Assiria siangpahrang ni nang teh bangpatet e kânguenae nama hettelah totouh na kâuep va.
And Rabshakeh said unto them, —Say ye now to Hezekiah, Thus hath said the great king, the king of Assyria, What confidence is this wherewith thou hast trusted?
5 Taran tuk thainae lamthung hoi tithainae kai koe ao na ti teh, ahrawnghrang lawk hah na dei. Kai taran hanelah apimouh na kâuep va.
I have said, but it was only a word uttered with the lips, [I have] counsel and strength for the war. Now, on whom didst thou trust, that thou rebelledst against me?
6 Khenhaw! Nang teh lawtkâkhoe e lungpum sonron tie Izip ram nahoehmaw na kâuep hah vaw. Hot ni teh ka kâuepnaw e kut hah a ruk pouh han. Hethateh, ama ka kâuep e naw pueng koe Izip siangpahrang Faro ni a kamnue sak e doeh.
Behold, thou trustedst on yon cracked reed-staff, on Egypt; which, if a man lean on it, will enter into his hand, and pierce it: so is Pharaoh the king of Egypt to all that trust on him.
7 Nang ni, kaimae BAWIPA Cathut doeh ka kâuep awh na tetpawiteh, Hezekiah teh, hete thuengnae khoungroe hmalah duengdoeh a bawk han, telah Judah khocanaw hoi Jerusalem khocanaw hah dei pouh nateh, hote Cathut e karasang hmuen puenghoi thuengnae khoungroe pueng hah a takhoe toe nahoehmaw.
But if thou shouldst say to me, In the Lord our God have we trusted: is he not the one whose high-places and whose altars Hezekiah hath removed, when he said to Judah and to Jerusalem, Before this altar shall ye prostrate yourselves?
8 Atu kaie bawipa Assiria siangpahrang hoi lawkkam sak leih. Nang ni marang ransa kakhoutlah na ta thai e nah boi pawiteh, marang 2,000 touh na poe han.
And now I pray thee, enter into a contest with my master the king of Assyria, and I will give thee two thousand horses, if thou be able on thy part to set riders upon them.
9 Nang ni taran tuknae marangnaw hane hoi marangransanaw hanelah, Izip ram hah na kâuep nakunghai, kaie bawipa e a thaw katawknaw thung dawk kathoungpounge patenghai bangtelamaw a tuk thai han vaw.
How then wilt thou turn back the face of a single chieftain of the least of my masters' servants, while thou hast put thy trust on Egypt for chariots and for horsemen?
10 Hothloilah kai teh, BAWIPA e kâ laipalah hete ram raphoe hanelah ka tho hoeh. Hete ram heh BAWIPA ni raphoe loe telah kai koe a dei toe telah ati telah atipouh.
And now am I come up without the Lord ['s will] against this land to destroy it? The Lord hath said unto me, Go up against this land, and destroy it.
11 Hat toteh, Eliakim, Shebna, hoi Joab tinaw ni kaimouh ni ka thai thai awh nahanlah Aramaih lawk lahoi na dei pouh haw. Rapan dawk kaawmnaw ni a thai thai awh nahan, Judah lawk lahoi dei hanh loe telah Rabshakeh koe ati pouh awh.
Then said Elyakim and Shebna and Yoach unto Rabshakeh, Speak, we pray thee, unto thy servants in the Syrian language; for we understand it: and speak not to us in the Jewish language, before the ears of the people that are on the wall.
12 Hatei, Rabshakeh ni, ka bawipa ni nangmouh hoi nangmae bawipa koe doeh hete lawk dei hanelah na patoun. Amamae ei ka cat niteh, amamae payungtui ka net e rapan dawk kaawm e naw koe dei hanelah nahoeh atipouh.
But Rabshakeh said, Hath my master then sent me to thy master and to thee to speak these words? is it not rather to the men who sit upon the wall, that they may eat their own excrements, and drink their own urine with you?
13 Hathnukkhu, Rabshakeh ni a kangdue teh Judah lawk lahoi kacaipounglah hram laihoi a dei e teh, ka lentoe e Assyria siangpahrang ni a dei e lawk teh thai awh haw.
Then stood Rabshakeh up, and called out in a loud voice in the Jewish language, and said, Hear ye the words of the great king, the king of Assyria.
14 Siangpahrang ni hettelah a dei. Hezekiah ni nangmouh na dum hanh naseh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, ahnin ni nangmouh na rungngang thai mahoeh.
Thus hath said the king, Let not Hezekiah deceive you; for he will not be able to deliver you;
15 BAWIPA ni doeh na rungngang tih. Hete kho teh Assyria kut dawk phat mahoeh telah ati teh, nangmanaw hah BAWIPA na kâuep awh nahanlah kâ poe awh hanh.
Neither let Hezekiah induce you to trust in the Lord, saying, The Lord will surely deliver us; this city shall not be given up into the hand of the king of Assyria.
16 Hezekiah e lawk hah ngâi awh hanh. Assyria siangpahrang ni a dei e teh, kai hoi cungtalah roumnae awm sak awh. Kai koe tho awh.
Hearken not to Hezekiah; for thus hath said the king of Assyria, Make a treaty of peace with me, and come out to me; and eat ye every one of his vine, and every one of his fig-tree, and drink ye every one the waters of his cistern;
17 Ka tho vaiteh, nangmanaw hah, namamae ram hoi kâvan e, cai, tui, misurtui apapnae koe, vaiyei hoi misur takha apapnae koe na thak hoehroukrak, namamae misur paw lengkaleng cat awh nateh, namamae tuikhu tui hah lengkaleng net awh.
Until I come and take you away to a land like your own land, a land of corn and wine, a land of bread and vineyards.
18 Hezekiah ni, BAWIPA ni maimouh na rungngang han doeh telah a dei e lahoi na dum awh nahanh seh. Ram pueng teh Assyria siangpahrang kut dawk hoi amamae ram hah a rungngang awh maw.
So that Hezekiah may not mislead you, saying, The Lord will deliver us. Have the gods of the nations delivered each his land out of the hand of the king of Assyria?
19 Hamath ram hoi Arpad kho cathutnaw teh nâne. Ahnimouh ni Samaria ram hah ka kut dawk hoi a rungngang awh maw.
Where are the gods of Chamath and Arpad? where are the gods of Sepharvayim? and have they then delivered Samaria out of my hand?
20 Hete ram pueng e cathutnaw hlakvah, bangpatet e cathut maw amae ram hah ka kut dawk hoi ka rungngang thai han. Jerusalem kho hah Jehovah ni ka kut dawk hoi bangtelamaw a rungngang thai han telah a ti.
Who are they among all the gods of these countries, that have delivered their country out of my hand, that the Lord should deliver Jerusalem out of my hand?
21 Hatei, ahni hah pato awh hanh awh telah siangpahrang ni ati dawkvah, apinihai pato laipalah lawkkamuem lah ao awh.
But they remained silent, and answered him not a word; for it was the king's command, saying, Ye shall not answer him.
22 Hat toteh, Hilkiah capa siangpahrang im ka ring e Eliakim, cakathutkung Shebna, Asaph capa cungpam kakhoekung Joab tinaw teh, Hezekiah koe a cei awh teh, amamae khohna a phi awh teh, Rabshakeh ni dei e lawk hah ahni koe a dei pouh awh.
Then came Elyakim the son of Chilkiyahu, that was superintendent over the house, and Shebna the scribe, and Yoach the son of Assaph, the recorder, to Hezekiah with their clothes rent; and they told him the words of Rabshakeh.
