Isaiah 36
1 Now it came to pass in the fourteenth year of king Hezekiah, that Sennacherib king of Assyria came up against all the fortified cities of Judah, and took them.
Hezekiah manghai te kum hlai li a lo vaengah Assyria manghai Sennacherib loh a paan. Te vaengah Judah khopuei cakrhuet te boeih a muk tih a tuuk.
2 And the king of Assyria sent Rabshakeh from Lachish to Jerusalem to king Hezekiah with a great army. And he stood by the conduit of the upper pool in the highway of the fuller's field.
Te phoeiah Assyria manghai loh khotawt Rabshakeh te Lakhish lamloh Jerusalem kah manghai Hezekiah taengah tatthai neh duel a tueih pah. Te vaengah hno suk lo long kah a so tuibuem, tuilong ah pai.
3 Then Eliakim the son of Hilkiah came forth to him, who was over the household, and Shebna the scribe, and Joah, the son of Asaph, the recorder.
Te dongah im khoem Hilkiah capa Eliakim tah cadaek Shebna, hnokhoem Asaph capa Joah neh anih taengla pawk.
4 And Rabshakeh said to them, Say ye now to Hezekiah, Thus says the great king, the king of Assyria: What confidence is this in which thou trust?
Te vaengah amih te khotawt Rabshakeh loh, “Hezekiah te, 'Manghai aw, Assyria kah manghai len loh, 'Uepangnah la banim na pangtung thil te?
5 I say, thy counsel and strength for the war are but vain words. Now on whom do thou trust that thou have rebelled against me?
Hmuilai lamkah olka mailai khaw caemtloek ham cilsuep neh thayung thamal ni ka ti. Kai he tloelh hamla unim na pangtung thil coeng.
6 Behold, thou trust upon the staff of this bruised reed, even upon Egypt, on which if a man leans, it will go into his hand, and pierce it. So is Pharaoh king of Egypt to all who trust on him.
Capu conghol a paep tangtae la na pangtung thil dae te. Te Egypt soah aka hangdang hlang tah a kut a hun tih a toeh. Egypt manghai Pharaoh aka pangtung thil boeih tah te tlam pawn ni.
7 But if thou say to me, We trust in Jehovah our God. Is that not he whose high places and whose altars Hezekiah has taken away, and has said to Judah and to Jerusalem, Ye shall worship before this altar?
Kai taengah, 'BOEIPA ka Pathen dongah ni ka pangtung uh,’ na ti cakhaw Hezekiah loh a hmuensang neh a hmueihtuk a palet pah te anih moenih a? Judah neh Jerusalem taengah, 'Hmueihtuk hmai ah he bakop uh,’ a ti dae ta.
8 Now therefore, I pray thee, give pledges to 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.
Te dongah ka boeipa te, Assyria manghai toengah rhikhang laeh. Nang te marhang a thawng thawng la kam pae eh. Nang te paek ham ni na coeng thai atah te rhoek te ngol thil.
9 How then can thou turn away the face of one captain of the least of my master's servants, and put thy trust on Egypt for chariots and for horsemen?
Ka boeipa kah sal khuikah rhalboei pakhat kah maelhmai te metlam na mael tak eh. Tetca khaw leng ham neh marhang caem ham Egypt na pangtung thil mai.
10 And have I now come up without Jehovah against this land to destroy it? Jehovah said to me, Go up against this land, and destroy it.
BOEIPA mueh lam a khohmuen he phae ham ka caeh? BOEIPA loh kamah taengah, 'Khohmuen ke caeh thil lamtah phae laeh,’ a ti ta,’ ti nah,” a ti nah.
11 Then Eliakim and Shebna and Joah said to Rabshakeh, Speak, I pray thee, to thy servants in the Syrian language, for we understand it. And speak not to us in the Jews' language, in the ears of the people who are on the wall.
Te vaengah Eliakim, Shebna, Joah loh khotawt Rabshakeh te, “Na sal rhoek ham he Aramaih la thui mai. Ka yakming coeng dongah kaimih taengah Judah ol la thui boel mai. Vongtung sokah pilnam a hna laat lah ve,” a ti nah.
12 But Rabshakeh said, Has my master sent me to thy master, and to thee, to speak these words, and not to the men who sit upon the wall, to eat their own dung, and to drink their own urine with you?
Tedae khotawt Rabshakeh loh, “He olka thui ham a ka boei loh na boei rhoek neh nangmih taengah kai n'tueih? Vongtung soah aka ngol hlang ham neh amih kah a khawt aka ca ham, amih kah yuntui aka mam, a kho tui nangmih bang ham moenih a?
13 Then Rabshakeh stood, and cried with a loud voice in the Jews' language, and said, Hear ye the words of the great king, the king of Assyria.
Te phoeiah khotawt Rabshakeh pai tih Judah ol neh a len la pang. Te vaengah, “Manghai len Assyria manghai ol he hnatun uh lah.
14 Thus says the king, Let not Hezekiah deceive you, for he will not be able to deliver you.
Manghai loh, 'Nangmih te Hezekiah loh n'rhaithi boel saeh, nangmih huul hamla a coeng moenih.
15 Neither let Hezekiah make you trust in Jehovah, saying, Jehovah will surely deliver us. This city shall not be given into the hand of the king of Assyria.
Hezekiah te na pangtung uh mahpawh. BOEIPA ming neh, 'BOEIPA loh mamih n'huul rhoe n'huul ni, khopuei he Assyria manghai kut ah pha mahpawh,’ a ti te.
16 Hearken not to Hezekiah. For thus says the king of Assyria, Make your peace with me, and come out to me, and eat ye everyone of his vine, and everyone of his fig tree, and drink ye everyone the waters of his own cistern,
Hezekiah ol te hnatun uh boeh. Te dongah ni Assyria manghai loh, 'Kamah neh yoethennah saii sih. Kai taengah ha mop uh lamtah a misur neh a thaibu khaw rhip ca uh. A tuito tui khaw rhip o uh.
17 until I come and take you away to a land like your own land, a land of grain and new wine, a land of bread and vineyards.
Kamah ka pawk vetih nangmih te namamih kah khohmuen bang cangpai hmuen, buh neh misur khohmuen kah misur thai kho la kan loh hlan ah,’ a ti.
18 Beware lest Hezekiah persuade you, saying, Jehovah will deliver us. Has any of the gods of the nations delivered his land out of the hand of the king of Assyria?
“BOEIPA loh mamih n'huul bitni,” a ti mai neh Hezekiah loh nangmih m'vuet ve. Namtom pathen pakhat long khaw a khohmuen te Assyria manghai kut lamloh a huul noek a?
19 Where are the gods of Hamath and Arpad? Where are the gods of Sepharvaim? And have they delivered Samaria out of my hand?
Khamath neh Arpad pathen te ta? Sepharvaim pathen ta? Samaria te ka kut lamloh a huul noek a?
20 Who are they among all the gods of these countries that have delivered their country out of my hand, that Jehovah should deliver Jerusalem out of my hand?
He diklai pathen boeih soah aka om te unim? Ka kut dong lamloh a khohmuen aka huul te unim? Jerusalem te Yahovah loh ka kut lamkah a huul tang aya te?” a ti,” a ti nah.
21 But they held their peace, and answered him not a word. For the king's commandment was, saying, Answer him not.
Tedae hil a phah uh tih anih te ol kamat khaw doo uh pawh. Te vaengah, “Manghai kah olpaek dongah he anih doo uh boeh,” a ti nah.
22 Then Eliakim the son of Hilkiah came, who was over the household, and Shebna the scribe, and Joah, the son of Asaph, the recorder, to Hezekiah with their clothes torn, and told him the words of Rabshakeh.
Te phoeiah imkhui kah Hilkiah capa Eliakim, cadaek Shebna, hnokhoem Asaph capa Joah tah himbai aka phen Hezekiah taengla ha pawk tih khotawt Rabshakeh ol te a taegah a puen pauh.
