< Isaiah 37 >
1 Hezekiah siangpahrang ni hote lawk hah a thai toteh, amae angki a phi teh, buri a kâkhu teh, BAWIPA e im thung a kâen.
And when the King Hezekiah heard it, he rent his clothes, and put on sackcloth and came into the House of the Lord.
2 Hat toteh, buri ka kâkhu e im karingkung Eliakim, cakathutkung Shebna, hoi kacue e vaihmanaw hah Amoz capa profet Isaiah koe a patoun.
And he sent Eliakim the stewarde of the house, aud Shebna the chanceller, with the Elders of the Priestes, clothed in sackcloth vnto Isaiah the Prophet, the sonne of Amoz.
3 Ahnimouh ni, Hezekiah siangpahrang ni hettelah a dei, sahnin teh runae, yuenae, hoi yeiraiponae hnin doeh. Camo khe tue a pha navah, khe thai nahane tha awm hoeh.
And they sayd vnto him, Thus saith Hezekiah, This day is a day of tribulation and of rebuke and blasphemie: for the children are come to the birth, and there is no strength to bring foorth.
4 Na BAWIPA kahring Cathut dudam hanelah, ahnimae bawi lah kaawm e Assyria siangpahrang ni a patoun e Rabshakeh e lawk hah Jehovah na Cathut ni thai naseh. Na Cathut Jehovah ni a thai e lawk patetlah yue na lawiseh. Nang ni hai kacawiraenaw hanelah patuen ratoum loe ati pouh.
If so be the Lord thy God hath heard the wordes of Rabshakeh, whom the King of Asshur his master hath sent to raile on the liuing God, and to reproch him with wordes which the Lord thy God hath heard, then lift thou vp thy prayer for the remnant that are left.
5 Hezekiah e a sannaw teh Isaiah koe a pha awh toteh,
So the seruants of the King Hezekiah came to Isaiah.
6 Isaiah ni, nangmae na bawipa koe hettelah dei pouh awh. BAWIPA ni Assyria siangpahrang e sannaw ni kai hah na dudam awh teh, na thai e lawknaw dawkvah taket hanh.
And Isaiah sayde vnto them, Thus say vnto your master, Thus saith the Lord, Be not afrayd of the wordes that thou hast heard, wherewith the seruants of the king of Asshur haue blasphemed me.
7 Kai ni ahni thung muitha buet touh ka thum pouh vaiteh, ahni ni kamthang buet touh a thai toteh, amamae ram koelah bout a ban han. Hathnukkhu, a ram thung e tahloi hoi ka due sak han ati telah a dei.
Beholde, I wil send a blast vpon him, and he shall heare a noyse, and returne to his owne land, and I will cause him to fall by the sword in his owne land.
8 Hathnukkhu Assyria siangpahrang teh Lakhish kho hoi a tâco toe tie Rabshakeh ni a thai teh a ban navah, siangpahrang ni Libnah kho a tuk e hah a hmu.
So Rabshakeh returned, and found the King of Asshur fighting against Libnah: for he had heard that he was departed from Lachish.
9 Atuvah Kush siangpahrang Tirhakah hoi kâkuen lah, ahni teh nang tuk hanelah a tho toe telah kamthang a thai. Hottelah kamthang a thai toteh, Hezekiah siangpahrang koe patounenaw a patoun teh,
He heard also men say of Tirhakah, King of Ethiopia, Beholde, he is come out to fight against thee: and when he heard it, he sent other messengers to Hezekiah, saying,
10 nangmouh ni Judah siangpahrang Hezekiah koe hettelah na dei awh han. Jerusalem kho teh Assyria kut dawk phat mahoeh telah na kâuep e Cathut ni na dum hanh naseh.
Thus shall ye speake to Hezekiah King of Iudah, saying, Let not thy God deceiue thee, in whom thou trustest, saying, Ierusalem shall not be giuen into the hand of the King of Asshur.
11 Khenhaw! Assyria siangpahrangnaw ni khoram tangkuem a raphoe awh teh, hotnaw koe a sak e naw hah na thai toe. Ahni teh ka hlout na ou.
Beholde, thou hast heard what the Kings of Asshur haue done to all lands in destroying them, and shalt thou be deliuered?
12 Ka mintoenaw ni a raphoe e miphun, Gozan, Haran, Rezeph, Telassar kho kaawm e Eden miphunnaw hah ahnimae cathutnaw ni a rungngang awh maw.
Haue the gods of the nations deliuered them, which my fathers haue destroyed? as Gozan, and Haran, and Rezeph, and the children of Eden, which were at Telassar?
13 Hamath siangpahrang, Arpad siangpahrang, Sepharvaim kho e siangpahrang, Hena siangpahrang, Ivvah siangpahrang tinaw teh nâne ao awh telah lawk a thui.
Where is the King of Hamath, and the King of Arpad, and the King of the citie of Sepharuaim, Hena and Iuah?
14 Hezekiah siangpahrang ni patounenaw kut dawk hoi ca hah a la teh a touk. Hahoi, BAWIPA e im dawk a cei teh, BAWIPA hmalah ca hah a kadai.
So Hezekiah receiued the letter of the hand of the messengers and read it, and he went vp into the House of the Lord, and Hezekiah spread it before the Lord.
15 Hatnavah, Hezekiah siangpahrang teh BAWIPA koe a ratoum.
And Hezekiah prayed vnto the Lord, saying,
16 Cherubim e lathueng vah ka tahung e Isarelnaw e Cathut, ransahu BAWIPA Cathut, nang teh talai uknaeram pueng lathueng vah buet touh dueng e Cathut lah na o. Nang ni kalvan hoi talai na sak.
O Lord of hostes, God of Israel, which dwellest betweene the Cherubims, thou art very God alone ouer all the kingdomes of the earth: thou hast made the heauen and the earth.
17 Oe BAWIPA, na hnâpakeng nateh na thai pouh haw. Oe BAWIPA, na mit padai nateh khenhaw! Sennacherib siangpahrang ni kahring Cathut dudam hanelah a patoun teh a dei sak e lawknaw hah thai haw.
Encline thine eare, O Lord, and heare: open thine eyes, O Lord, and see, and heare all the wordes of Saneherib, who hath sent to blaspheme the liuing God.
18 Oe BAWIPA, Assyria siangpahrangnaw ni miphunnaw hoi amamae ram naw hah kingkadi lah a ta teh,
Trueth it is, O Lord, that the Kings of Asshur haue destroyed all lands, and their countrey,
19 ahnimae cathutnaw hai hmai dawk a phum pouh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, hotnaw teh cathut nahoeh. Tami e kut hoi sak e thing hoi talung naw doeh.
And haue cast their gods in ye fire: for they were no gods, but the worke of mans hands, euen wood or stone: therefore they destroyed them.
20 Oe kaimae Cathut Jehovah, nang dueng doeh Cathut lah na kaawm tie hah, talai uknaeram pueng ni a panue awh nahanelah, hote siangpahrang kut dawk hoi, kaimanaw hah a tu na rungngang haw telah a ratoum.
Nowe therefore, O Lord our God, saue thou vs out of his hand, that all the kingdomes of the earth may knowe, that thou onely art the Lord.
21 Hattoteh Amos capa Isaiah ni Hezekiah koe a patoun teh, Isarelnaw e Cathut Jehovah ni hettelah a dei. Nang ni Assyria siangpahrang Sennacherib hoi kâkuen lah kai koe na ratoum toe.
Then Isaiah the sonne of Amoz sent vnto Hezekiah, saying, Thus sayth the Lord God of Israel, Because thou hast prayed vnto me, concerning Saneherib king of Asshur,
22 Hote siangpahrang hoi kâkuen lah Cathut ni hete lawk hah a dei. Tanglakacuem Zion canu ni nang hah na noutna hoeh teh na dudam toe. Jerusalem tangla ni na hnuk lahoi a lû a kahek toe.
This is the worde that the Lord hath spoken against him, the virgine, the daughter of Zion, hath despised thee, and laughed thee to scorne: the daughter of Ierusalem, hath shaken her head at thee.
23 Nang ni apimouh na dudam teh na pacekpahlek vaw. Nang ni apimouh na hram sin teh, na minhmai na moung sin. Isarelnaw e Kathounge koe hottelah na sak awh toe.
Whome hast thou railed on and blasphemed? and against whome hast thou exalted thy voyce, and lifted vp thine eyes on hie? euen against the holy one of Israel.
24 Na sannaw e kut hoi Cathut hah na dudam awh teh, kai teh ka tawn e ranglengnaw hoi monsom vah thoseh, Lebanon mon a poutnae koe thoseh, ka luen toe. Hawvah ka rasang poung e sidarkungnaw hoi kahawihloe e hmaicakungnaw hah ka tâtueng toe. A rasangpoungnae koe thoseh, a paw a thawnnae ratu koe thoseh ka kâen toe.
By thy seruants hast thou railed on the Lord, and sayd, By the multitude of my charets I am come vp to the top of the mountaines to the sides of Lebanon, and will cut downe the hie cedars thereof, and the faire firre trees thereof, and I will goe vp to the heightes of his top and to the forest of his fruitfull places.
25 Tuikhu ka tai teh tui ka nei toe. Ka khoktabei hoiyah Izip ram e palang kaawm e pueng kahak sak toe telah na dei.
I haue digged and drunke the waters, and with the plant of my feete haue I dryed all the riuers closed in.
26 Ayan hoi hetnaw heh kai ni sut ka pouk tangcoung toe tie na thai boihoeh maw. Nang ni kacakpounge kho rapannaw hah na raphoe teh, songnawng kâpawppawm e lah na o sak nahanelah, atu ka sin e naw hah ayan hoi sut ka hmoun toe.
Hast thou not heard howe I haue of olde time made it, and haue formed it long ago? and should I now bring it, that it should be destroyed, and layde on ruinous heapes, as cities defensed?
27 Atha ka baw e hote khocanaw teh, a lungpout laihoi yeirai a phu awh teh, kahrawng e phonaw patetlah thoseh, a len hoehnahlan tang kamyai e lemphu e phokung patetlah thoseh, ao awh.
Whose inhabitants haue small power, and are afrayd and confounded: they are like the grasse of the field and greene herbe, or grasse on the house tops, or corne blassed afore it be growen.
28 Na tahungnae, na ceinae, na thonae, na kâennae, na tâconae, koe na lungkhueknae naw hah ka panue.
But I know thy dwelling, and thy going out, and thy comming in, and thy fury against me.
29 Nang teh kai koe na lungkhuek dawk thoseh, namahoima na kâuepnae hah ka hnâ koe a tho dawk thoseh, kai sumhradang teh na hnawng dawkvah thoseh, kaie pahni moumnae teh na pahni dawkvah thoseh, ka mawp vaiteh, na thonae lam dawk hoi na ban sak han.
Because thou ragest against me, and thy tumult is come vnto mine eares, therefore will I put mine hooke in thy nostrels, and my bridle in thy lips, and wil bring thee backe againe the same way thou camest.
30 Nang hanelah mitnout teh hettelah ao. Takum dawkvah amahmawk ka paw e naw thoseh, a kum pahni vah hot dawk hoi ka pâw e naw hai thoseh na ca han. A kum pâthum vah, kahei nateh a awh. Misurnaw hah patue awh nateh, a paw hah cat awh.
And this shalbe a signe vnto thee, O Hezekiah, Thou shalt eate this yeere such as groweth of it selfe: and the second yeere, such things as growe without sowing: and in the third yeere, sowe ye and reape, and plant vineyards, and eate the fruite thereof.
31 Kacawie Judahnaw teh, a tangpha bout payang awh vaiteh, asawi lah a pâw a paw awh han.
And the remnant that is escaped of the house of Iudah, shall againe take roote downward and beare fruite vpward.
32 Bangkongtetpawiteh, kacawie naw teh Jerusalem kho hoi thoseh, kahlout e naw teh Zion mon dawk hoi thoseh, a tâco awh han. Cathut e a lungthonae teh hetenaw hah a sak han.
For out of Ierusalem shall goe a remnant, and they that escape out of mount Zion: the zeale of the Lord of hostes shall doe this.
33 Hatdawkvah, Cathut ni Assyria siangpahrang hoi kâkuen lah hettelah a dei. Ahni teh hete kho dawk kâen mahoeh. Hete hmuen koe pala hai ka mahoeh. Bahling hoi hete kho hai hnai mahoeh. Hete kho avanglah na tungpup awh mahoeh.
Therefore thus sayth the Lord, concerning the King of Asshur, He shall not enter into this citie, nor shoote an arrow there, nor come before it with shield, nor cast a mount against it.
34 Hete kho koe a thonae lam dawk hoi a ban han. Hete kho thung kâen mahoeh. Cathut ni a dei e teh,
By the same way that he came, he shall returne, and not come into this citie, saith the Lord.
35 Kai ni hete ka minhmai hoi ka san Devit e minhmai hah ka khet teh, hete kho rungngang hanelah, hete kho hah ka ring han, telah a ti.
For I will defend this citie to saue it, for mine owne sake, and for my seruant Dauids sake.
36 Hat toteh, BAWIPA e kalvantami a tâco teh Assyria ransahu thung e tami 185,000 touh a thei. Amom toteh a thaw awh navah, ahnimanaw teh ro lah ao awh.
Then the Angel of the Lord went out, and smote in the campe of Asshur an hundreth, fourescore, and fiue thousand: so when they arose early in the morning, beholde, they were all dead corpses.
37 Assyria siangpahrang Sennacherib hai a tâco a ban teh, Nineveh kho dawkvah ao.
So Saneherib king of Asshur departed, and went away and returned and dwelt at Nineueh.
38 Hathnukkhu, ahni teh, amae cathut Nisroch Bawkim dawk a bawk lahun nah, ahnie capa Adrammelek hoi Sharezer tinaw ni tahloi hoi a thei awh. Hahoi teh, ahnimanaw teh Ararat mon lah a yawng awh. Hat toteh, capa Esarhaddon teh a na pa e hmuen dawk a tahung.
And as he was in the temple worshipping of Nisroch his god, Adramelech and Sharezer his sonnes slewe him with the sword, and they escaped into the land of Ararat: and Esarhaddon his sonne reigned in his steade.
