Kings IV 18
1 And it came to pass in the third year of Osee son of Ela king of Israel [that] Ezekias son of Achaz king of Juda began to reign.
Israel manghai Elah capa, Hosea kah a kum thum dongah Judah manghai Ahaz capa Hezekiah khaw manghai van.
2 Five and twenty years old was he when he began to reign, and he reigned twenty and nine years in Jerusalem: and his mother's name [was] Abu, daughter of Zacharias.
Anih te kum kul kum nga a lo ca vaengah manghai tih Jerusalem ah kum kul kum ko manghai. A manu ming tah Zekhariah canu Abi ni.
3 And he did that which was right in the sight of the Lord, according to all that his father David did.
A cungkuem dongah a napa David kah a saii bangla BOEIPA mikhmuh ah a thuem ni a saii.
4 He removed the high places, and broke in pieces the pillars, and utterly destroyed the groves, and the brazen serpent which Moses made: because until those days the children of Israel burnt incense to it: and he called it Neesthan.
Anih tah hmuensang te a khoe tih kaam te khaw a phaek. Asherah te a top tih Moses loh a saii rhohum rhul te a phop. Te tue ah aka om Israel ca rhoek loh a taengah hmueih a phum uh dongah te te Nehushtan la a khue.
5 He trusted in the Lord God of Israel; and after him there was not any like him amongst the kings of Juda, nor amongst those that were before him.
Israel Pathen BOEIPA dongah pangtung tih anih hnukah Judah manghai boeih khuiah khaw anih bang a om moenih. Anih hmai ah khaw a om moenih.
6 And he clave to the Lord, he departed not from following him; and he kept his commandments, as many as he commanded Moses.
BOEIPA taengah balak tih a hnuk lamloh nong pawh. BOEIPA loh Moses taengah a uen vanbangla a olpaek te a tuem.
7 And the Lord was with him; and he was wise in all that he undertook: and he revolted from the king of the Assyrians, and served him not.
BOEIPA te a taengah a om pah vanbangla a cungkuem ah a thoeng pah tih a cangbam. Te dongah Assyria manghai te a tloelh tih anih taengah thotat pawh.
8 He struck the Philistines [even] to Gaza, and to the border of it, from the tower of the watchmen even to the strong city.
Anih loh Philisti te Gaza neh a khorhi hil, rhalrhing kah rhaltoengim lamloh hmuencak khopuei hil a ngawn.
9 And it came to pass in the fourth year of King Ezekias (this is the seventh year of Osee son of Ela king of Israel, ) [that] Salamanassar king of the Assyrians came up against Samaria, and besieged it.
Manghai Hezekiah kah a kum li dong neh Israel manghai Elah capa Hosea kah a kum rhih dongah tah Assyria manghai Shalmaneser loh Samaria a paan tih a dum.
10 And he took it at the end of three years, in the sixth year of Ezekias, (this [is] the ninth year of Osee king of Israel, when Samaria was taken.)
Tedae kum thum a thok vaengah khopuei te a loh. Te dongah Hezekiah kah a kum rhuk neh Israel manghai Hosea kah a kum ko dongah Samaria te a loh.
11 And the king of the Assyrians carried away the Samaritans to Assyria, and put them in Alae and in Abor, [by] the river Gozan, and [in] the mountains of the Medes;
Assyria manghai loh Israel te Assyria la a poelyoe tih amih te Halah neh Habor kah Gozan tuiva, Madai khopuei la a mawt.
12 because they listened not to the voice of the Lord their God, and transgressed his covenant, [even] in all things that Moses the servant of the Lord commanded, and listened not [to them], nor did [them].
A Pathen BOEIPA ol te ngai uh pawt tih a paipi te a poe uh. A cungkuem te BOEIPA kah sal Moses loh a uen coeng dae ngai uh pawt tih vai uh pawh.
13 And in the fourteenth year of king Ezekias came up Sennacherim king of the Assyrians against the strong cities of Juda, and took them.
Manghai Hezekiah kah kum hlai li dongah tah Assyria manghai Sennacherib loh Judah kah vong cak khopuei boeih te a paan tih a loh pah.
14 And Ezekias king of Juda sent messengers to the king of the Assyrians to Lachis, saying, I have offended; depart from me: whatever you shall lay upon me, I will bear. And the king of Assyria laid upon Ezekias king of Juda [a tribute of] three hundred talents of silver, and thirty talents of gold.
Te dongah Judah manghai Hezekiah loh Assyria manghai te Lakhish la a tah tih, “Ka tholh coeng, kai taeng lamloh mael lamtah kai soah na tloeng te ka phueih mai bitni,” a ti nah. Te dongah Assyria manghai loh Judah manghai Hezekiah lamkah cak talent ya thum neh sui talent sawmthum a phai sak.
15 And Ezekias gave all the silver that was found in the house of the Lord, and in the treasures of the king's house.
Hezekiah loh BOEIPA im neh manghai im thakvoh khuikah a hmuh cak boeih te a phai.
16 At that time Ezekias cut off [the gold from] the doors of the temple, and [from] the pillars which Ezekias king of Juda [had] overlaid with gold, and gave it to the king of the Assyrians.
Te vaeng tue ah Hezekiah loh BOEIPA bawkim kah thohkhaih te a khong coeng. Rhungsut a ben te khaw Judah manghai Hezekiah loh Assyria manghai taengah a phai.
17 And the king of the Assyrians sent Tharthan and Raphis and Rapsakes from Lachis to king Ezekias with a strong force against Jerusalem. And they went up and came to Jerusalem, and stood by the aqueduct of the upper pool, which is by the way of the fuller's field.
Te dongah Assyria manghai loh rhalboei neh Rabsaris khaw, Lakhish lamkah Rabshakeh khaw, Hezekiah manghai neh Jerusalem miping caem taengla a tueih. Cet uh tih Jerusalem a pha uh neh hno suk lo long ah yoeng uh tih a so tuibuem kah tuilong te a pha uh vaengah pai uh.
18 And they cried to Ezekias: and there came to him Heliakim the son of Chelcias the steward, and Somnas the scribe, and Joas the son of Saphat the recorder.
Manghai te a khue uh vaengah amih taengla im aka tawt Hilkiah capa Eliakim neh cadaek Shebna, cabu aka khoem Asaph capa Joah te cet.
19 And Rapsakes said to them, Say now to Ezekias, Thus says the king, the great king of the Assyrians, What [is] this confidence wherein you trust?
Te vaengah Rabshakeh loh amih te, “Hezekiah taengah thui uh laeh, manghai boei Assyria manghai loh he ni a thui. Mebang pangtungnah nim na pangtung van he.
20 You have said, (but [they are] mere words, ) [I have] counsel and strength for war. Now then in whom do you trust, that you have revolted from me?
Hmuilai dongah ol kak nen tah caemtloek kah cilsuep neh thayung thamal na thui. Kai nan tloelh ham khaw u dongah nim na pangtung van coeng.
21 See now, are you trusting for yourself on this broken staff of reed, [even] upon Egypt? whoever shall stay himself upon it, it shall even go into his hand, and pierce it: so [is] Pharao king of Egypt to all that trust on him.
Capu conghol aka paep dongah na pangtung coeng te. Egypt dongah aka hangdang hlang tah a kut ah rhu vetih a toeh pah ni. Egypt manghai Pharaoh soah aka pangtung boeih khaw amah te tlam ni a om eh.
22 And whereas you have said to me, We trust on the Lord God: [is] not this he, whose high places and altars Ezekias has removed, and has said to Juda and Jerusalem, You shall worship before this altar in Jerusalem?
Kai taengah, “Ka Pathen BOEIPA taengah ka pangtung uh,’ na ti uh khaming. Anih loh Hezekiah neh a hmuensang te khaw, a hmueihtuk te khaw a khoe moenih a? Te vaengah Judah taeng neh Jerusalem taengah, 'Jerusalem kah hmueihtuk hmai ah he thothueng uh,’ a ti nah ta.
23 And now, I pray you, make and agreement with my lord the king of the Assyrians, and I will give you two thousand horses, if you shall be able on your part to set riders upon them.
Tahae ah ka boeipa Assyria manghai neh rhikhang laeh. A soah aka ngol nan paek thai atah nang te marhang thawng hnih he kam pae eh.
24 How then will you turn away the face of one petty governor, from amongst the least of my lord's servants? whereas you trust for yourself on Egypt for chariots and horsemen.
Egypt kah leng neh marhang caem dongah na pangtung cakhaw ka boei kah sal rhoek khuiah rhalboei ca pakhat kah maelhmai te metlam na mael eh?
25 And now have we come up without the Lord against this place to destroy it? The Lord said to me, Go up against this land, and destroy it.
BOEIPA lamkah mueh la he hmuen la ka pawk aya? Te te phae ham te BOEIPA loh kai taengah, 'Khohmuen he caeh thil lamtah khopuei te phae laeh,’ a ti,” a ti nah.
26 And Heliakim the son of Chelkias, and Somnas, and Joas, said to Rapsakes, Speak now to your servants in the Syrian language, for we understand it; and speak not with us in the Jewish language: and why do you speak in the ears of the people that are on the wall?
Te vaengah Hilkiah capa Eliakim, Shebna neh Joah loh Rabshakeh te, “Na sal rhoek taengah Aramaih ol la thui mai, ka yakming u ngawn dongah vongtung sokah pilnam hna ah he kaimih ham Judah ol la thui boel mai,” a ti nah.
27 And Rapsakes said to them, Has my master sent me to your master, and to you, to speak these words? [has he] not [sent me] to the men who sit on the wall, that they may eat their own dung, and drink their own water together with you.
Tedae Rabshakeh loh amih te, “He ol thui ham he ka boei loh na boei taeng neh nang taeng bueng ah kai n'tueih nim? Vongtung soah aka ngol tih a khawt aka sok, nangmih bangla a khopha dongkah a yun tui aka o hlang rhoek taengah moenih a?” a ti nah.
28 And Rapsakes stood, and cried with a loud voice in the Jewish language, and spoke, and said, Hear the words of the great king of the Assyrians:
Te phoeiah Rabshakeh te pai tih Judah ol neh a len la pang. Te phoeiah a thui tih, “Assyria manghai boei kah manghai ol he hnatun uh.
29 thus says the king, Let not Ezekias encourage you with words: for he shall not be able to deliver you out of his hand.
Manghai loh he ni a thui. Nangmih te Hezekiah loh n'rhaithi boel saeh. A kut lamloh nangmih n'huul ham a coeng moenih.
30 And let not Ezekias cause you to trust on the Lord, saying, The Lord will certainly deliver us; this city shall not be delivered into the hand of the king of the Assyrians: listen not to Ezekias:
Nangmih te Hezekiah loh BOEIPA dongah m'pangtung sak tih, “BOEIPA loh mamih n'huul rhoe n'huul ni, khopuei he khaw Assyria manghai kut ah pae mahpawh,’ a ti moenih a?
31 for thus says the king of the Assyrians, Gain my favour, and come forth to me, and every man shall drink [of the wine] of his own vine, and every man shall eat of his own fig tree, and shall drink water out of his own cistern;
Hezekiah ol te hnatun uh boeh. Assyria manghai loh he ni a thui. Kai taengah yoethennah mah saii uh. Kai taengla ha mop uh lamtah hlang loh amah misur neh amah thaibu te rhip ca saeh. Hlang loh amah kah tuito tui te o saeh.
32 until I come and remove you to a land like your own land, a land of corn and wine, and bread and vineyards, a land of olive oil, and honey, and you shall live and not die: and do not you listen to Ezekias, for he deceives you, saying, The Lord shall deliver you.
Kai taengla na pawk hlan vaengah namah khohmuen banghui khohmuen la nangmih kang khuen coeng. Te tah cangpai neh misur thai khohmuen ni, buh neh misur khohmuen ni, olive situi neh khoitui khohmuen ni. Te dongah hing uh lamtah duek uh boeh. Hezekiah ol te hnatun uh boeh. Nangmih m'vueh m'vuehtih, “BOEIPA loh mamih n'huul bitni.
33 Have the Gods of the nations at all delivered each their own land out of the hand of the king of the Assyrians?
Namtom pathen rhoek loh a khohmuen dongah hlang te Assyria manghai kut lamloh a huul khaw a huul uh nim?
34 Where is the god of Haemath, and of Arphad? where is the god of Seppharvaim, Ana, and Aba? for have they delivered Samaria out of my hand?
Khamath neh Arpad pathen rhoek te melae? Hena Sepharvaim neh Ivvah pathen rhoek te melae?’ a ti. Ka kut lamloh Samaria a huul uh tang a?
35 Who [is there] amongst all the gods of the countries, who have delivered their countries out of my hand, that the Lord should deliver Jerusalem out of my hand?
Khohmuen pathen boeih khuiah khaw ka kut lamloh a khohmuen aka huul te unim? BOEIPA loh Jerusalem te kai kut lamkah a huul tang aya?,” a ti nah.
36 But [the men] were silent, and answered him not a word: for [there was] a commandment of the king, saying, You shall not answer him.
Tedae manghai kah olpaek loh, “Anih te doo uh boeh,” a ti nah dongah pilnam khaw ngam tih anih te ol pakhat khaw doo uh van pawh.
37 And Heliakim the son of Chelcias, the steward, and Somnas the scribe, and Joas the son of Saphat the recorder came in to Ezekias, having tore their garments; and they reported to him the words of Rapsakes.
Te phoeiah im aka tawt Hilkiah capa Eliakim, cadaek Shebna, khocil aka khoem Asaph capa Joah tah himbai aka phen Hezekiah taengla cet uh tih Rabshakeh kah ol te a taengah a puen pauh.
