< Isaiah 36 >

1 Now in the fourteenth year of King Hezekiah, Sennacherib king of Assyria attacked all of the fortified cities of Judah and captured them.
Hezekiah siangpahrang a bawinae kum 14 nah Assiria siangpahrang Sennacherib ni Judah ram kacakpounge kho kaawm e pueng hah a tuk teh a lawp.
2 The king of Assyria sent Rabshakeh from Lachish to Jerusalem to King Hezekiah with a large army. He stood by the aqueduct from the upper pool in the fuller’s field highway.
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.
3 Then Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, who was over the household, and Shebna the scribe, and Joah, the son of Asaph the recorder came out to him.
Hat toteh, Hilkiah capa Eliakim, cakathutkung Shebna hoi Asaph capa Joab cayin kuenkung tinaw teh ahni koe a cei awh.
4 Rabshakeh said to them, “Now tell Hezekiah, ‘The great king, the king of Assyria, says, “What confidence is this in which you trust?
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.
5 I say that your counsel and strength for the war are only vain words. Now in whom do you trust, that you have rebelled against me?
Taran tuk thainae lamthung hoi tithainae kai koe ao na ti teh, ahrawnghrang lawk hah na dei. Kai taran hanelah apimouh na kâuep va.
6 Behold, you trust in the staff of this bruised reed, even in Egypt, which if a man leans on it, it will go into his hand and pierce it. So is Pharaoh king of Egypt to all who trust in him.
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.
7 But if you tell me, ‘We trust in the LORD our God,’ is not that he whose high places and whose altars Hezekiah has taken away, and has said to Judah and to Jerusalem, ‘You shall worship before this altar’?”
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.
8 Now therefore, please make a pledge to my master the king of Assyria, and I will give you two thousand horses, if you are able on your part to set riders on them.
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.
9 How then can you turn away the face of one captain of the least of my master’s servants, and put your trust in Egypt for chariots and for horsemen?
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.
10 Have I come up now without the LORD against this land to destroy it? The LORD said to me, “Go up against this land, and destroy it.”’”
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.
11 Then Eliakim, Shebna and Joah said to Rabshakeh, “Please speak to your servants in Aramaic, for we understand it. Do not speak to us in the Jews’ language in the hearing of the people who are on the wall.”
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.
12 But Rabshakeh said, “Has my master sent me only to your master and to you, to speak these words, and not to the men who sit on the wall, who will eat their own dung and drink their own urine with you?”
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.
13 Then Rabshakeh stood, and called out with a loud voice in the Jews’ language, and said, “Hear the words of the great king, the king of Assyria!
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.
14 The king says, ‘Do not let Hezekiah deceive you; for he will not be able to deliver you.
Siangpahrang ni hettelah a dei. Hezekiah ni nangmouh na dum hanh naseh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, ahnin ni nangmouh na rungngang thai mahoeh.
15 Do not let Hezekiah make you trust in the LORD, saying, “The LORD will surely deliver us. This city will not be given into the hand of the king of Assyria.”’
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.
16 Do not listen to Hezekiah, for the king of Assyria says, ‘Make your peace with me, and come out to me; and each of you eat from his vine, and each one from his fig tree, and each one of you drink the waters of his own cistern;
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.
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.
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.
18 Beware lest Hezekiah persuade you, saying, “The LORD will deliver us.” Have any of the gods of the nations delivered their lands from the hand of the king of Assyria?
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.
19 Where are the gods of Hamath and Arpad? Where are the gods of Sepharvaim? Have they delivered Samaria from my hand?
Hamath ram hoi Arpad kho cathutnaw teh nâne. Ahnimouh ni Samaria ram hah ka kut dawk hoi a rungngang awh maw.
20 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?’”
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.
21 But they remained silent, and said nothing in reply, for the king’s commandment was, “Do not answer him.”
Hatei, ahni hah pato awh hanh awh telah siangpahrang ni ati dawkvah, apinihai pato laipalah lawkkamuem lah ao awh.
22 Then Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, who was over the household, and Shebna the scribe, and Joah, the son of Asaph the recorder, came to Hezekiah with their clothes torn, and told him the words of Rabshakeh.
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.
