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 it came to pass, when King Hezekiah heard it, that he rent his clothes, —and covered himself with sackcloth, and entered the house of Yahweh;
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 sent Eliakim who was over the household and Shebna the scribe and the elders of the priests, covered with sackcloth, —unto Isaiah the prophet, Son 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 said unto him, Thus, saith Hezekiah, A day of distress and rebuke and reviling, is this day, —For children are come to the birth, and, strength, is there none to bring forth.
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.
It may be, that Yahweh thy God will hear the words of Rabshakeh whom the king of Assyria his lord, hath sent to reproach a Living God, and will rebuke the words which Yahweh thy God hath heard, —Wherefore lift thou up a prayer, for the remnant that remaineth.
5 Hezekiah e a sannaw teh Isaiah koe a pha awh toteh,
So the servants of King Hezekiah came unto 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 said unto them, Thus, shall ye, surely say, unto your lord, —Thus, saith Yahweh—Be not thou afraid because of the words which thou hast heard, wherewith the servants of the king of Assyria have reviled, 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.
Behold me! about to let go against him a blast of alarm, and when he heareth the report, then will he return to his own country, —and I will cause him to fall by the sword in his own 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 Assyria, warring against Libnah, —for he had heard, that he had broken up 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,
And he heard it reported concerning Tirhakah king of Ethiopia, saying, He hath come forth to fight with thee, —so when he heard it, he sent messengers unto 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 surely speak unto Hezekiah king of Judah, saying, Let not thy God, in whom, thou, art trusting, beguile thee, saying, —Jerusalem, shall not be given over, into the hand of the king of Assyria.
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.
Lo! thou, thyself, hast heard what the kings of Assyria have done to all the lands in devoting them to destruction, —and shalt, thou, be delivered?
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.
Did the gods of the nations, deliver them, whom my fathers destroyed, —Gozan, and Haran, —and Rezeph, and the sons of Eden, who were in Telassar?
13 Hamath siangpahrang, Arpad siangpahrang, Sepharvaim kho e siangpahrang, Hena siangpahrang, Ivvah siangpahrang tinaw teh nâne ao awh telah lawk a thui.
Where are the king of Hamath, and the king of Arpad, and the king of the city of Sepharvaim, —of Hena, and Ivvah?
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.
And, when Hezekiah had received the letter at the hand of the messengers, and had read it, then went he up to the house of Yahweh, and Hezekiah spread it out, before Yahweh.
15 Hatnavah, Hezekiah siangpahrang teh BAWIPA koe a ratoum.
And Hezekiah prayed unto Yahweh 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 Yahweh of hosts, God of Israel—inhabiting the cherubim, Thou thyself, art GOD, even thou alone, for all the kingdoms of the earth: Thou, didst make the heavens 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.
Bow down, O Yahweh, thine ear—and hear, Open, O Yahweh, thine eyes—and see, —Yea hear thou all the words of Sennacherib, who hath sent—to reproach a Living God.
18 Oe BAWIPA, Assyria siangpahrangnaw ni miphunnaw hoi amamae ram naw hah kingkadi lah a ta teh,
Of a truth, O Yahweh, —the kings of Assyria have devoted to destruction all the countries, and their land;
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 have put their gods in the fire, —for, no-gods, were they, but the work of the hands of men wood and stone and so 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.
Now, therefore, O Yahweh our God, save us, out of his hand, —That all the kingdoms of the earth, may know, That, thou, art Yahweh, thou alone.
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 son of Amoz sent unto Hezekiah saying, —Thus, saith Yahweh, God of Israel, In that thou hast prayed unto me concerning Sennacherib king of Assyria,
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 word which Yahweh hath spoken concerning him, —The virgin daughter of Zion, laugheth thee to scorn—mocketh thee, The daughter of Jerusalem after thee doth wag her head,
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.
Whom, hast thou reproached and insulted? And, against whom, hast thou lifted high thy voice? Yea thou hast proudly raised thine eyes, 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.
Through thy servants, thou hast reproached My Lord and hast said, —With my multitude of chariots, have I ascended The height of the mountains The recesses of Lebanon, That I may cut down Its tallest cedars Its choicest firs, That I may enter Its highest summit, Its thick garden forest:
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, have digged, and drunk waters, —That I may dry up, with the soles of my feet, all the Nile-streams of Egypt.
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—That, long ago, that, is what I appointed, And from days of old, devised? Now, have I brought it to pass, That thou mightest Serve to lay waste, in desolate ruins, fortified cities;
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.
And their inhabitants, being powerless, were overthrown and put to shame—They became—Grass of the field and Young herbage, Grass on housetops, and Seed parched before it came up.
28 Na tahungnae, na ceinae, na thonae, na kâennae, na tâconae, koe na lungkhueknae naw hah ka panue.
Howbeit, thine abode and thy coming out and thy going in, I know, —and thy raging 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, thy raging against me, and thy contempt, have come up into mine ears, Therefore will I put My ring in thy nose, and My bit in thy lips, And will turn thee back, by the way by which 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 unto thee, is the sign, Eating this year, the growth of scattered seeds, And in the second year, that which shooteth up of itself, —Then in the third year, Sow ye—and reap, and Plant ye vineyards, and eat the fruit thereof.
31 Kacawie Judahnaw teh, a tangpha bout payang awh vaiteh, asawi lah a pâw a paw awh han.
Then shall the escaped of the house of Judah that remain, again, Take root downward, —And bear fruit upward.
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 Jerusalem, shall come forth a remnant, And that which hath escaped, out of Mount Zion, —the jealousy of Yahweh of hosts, will perform, 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, saith Yahweh, concerning the king of Assyria, He shall not enter this city, Nor shoot there, an arrow, —Nor attack it with shield, Nor cast up against it a mound:
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 way that he Came in, By the Same, shall he return, —And into this city, shall he not enter, Declareth Yahweh.
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.
Thus will I throw a covering over this city to save it, —For mine own sake, And for the sake of David my servant.
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 went forth the messenger of Yahweh, and smote—in the camp of the Assyrians—a hundred and eighty-five thousand, —and when men arose early in the morning, lo! they were all, dead bodies!
37 Assyria siangpahrang Sennacherib hai a tâco a ban teh, Nineveh kho dawkvah ao.
So Sennacherib the king of Assyria brake up, and went his way, and returned, —and remained in Nineveh.
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 it came to pass, as he was bowing down in the house of Nisroch his god, that, Adrammelech and Sharezer his sons, smote him with the sword, howbeit, they, escaped into the land of Ararat, —and, Esarhaddon his son, reigned, in his stead.
