< 2 Kings 20 >
1 In those days, Hezekiah was sick unto death. And the prophet Isaiah, the son of Amoz, came and said to him: “Thus says the Lord God: Instruct your house, for you will die, and not live.”
Te vaeng tue ah Hezekiah te tlo tih dalh duek. Te dongah tonghma Amoz capa Isaiah te anih taengla pawk tih, “BOEIPA loh he ni a thui, na imkhui te uen laeh, na duek vetih na hing voel mahpawh,” a ti nah.
2 And he turned his face to the wall, and he prayed to the Lord, saying:
Te dongah a maelhmai te pangbueng taengla a hooi sak. Te phoeiah BOEIPA taengah thangthui tih,
3 “I beg you, O Lord, I beseech you, remember how I have walked before you in truth, and with a perfect heart, and how I have done what is pleasing before you.” And then Hezekiah wept with a great weeping.
“Aw BOEIPA, na mikhmuh ah oltak neh, thinko rhuemtuet la pongpa te khaw, na mikhmuh ah a then ka saii te khaw poek mai,” a ti. Te vaengah Hezekiah kah a rhah mah hlawkhlawk rhap.
4 And before Isaiah departed from the middle part of the atrium, the word of the Lord came to him, saying:
Isaiah loh khopuei vongup bangli a pha moenih. Te vaengah BOEIPA ol te anih taengla pawk tih,
5 “Return and tell Hezekiah, the leader of my people: Thus says the Lord, the God of your father David: I have heard your prayer, and I have seen your tears. And behold, I have healed you. On the third day, you shall ascend to the temple of the Lord.
“Mael lamtah ka pilnam kah rhaengsang Hezekiah te thui pah. Na pa David kah Pathen BOEIPA loh he ni a thui. Na thangthuinah te ka yaak tih na mikphi khaw ka hmuh coeng. Kai loh nang kang hoeih sak coeng ne, a thum hnin ah tah BOEIPA im la na cet bitni.
6 And I will add fifteen years to your days. Then too, I will free you and this city from the hand of the king of the Assyrians. And I will protect this city for my own sake, and for the sake of my servant David.”
Na khohnin te kum hlai nga kan thap vetih namah neh khopuei he khaw Assyria manghai kut lamloh kan huul ni. Khopuei he kamah ham neh ka sal David hamla ka tungaep ni,” a ti nah.
7 And Isaiah said, “Bring me a mass of figs.” And when they had brought it, and they had placed it on his sore, he was healed.
Te phoeiah Isaiah loh, “Thaibu thaidae lo lah,” a ti nah. A loh uh tangloeng tih buhlut a ben thil daengah koep hing.
8 But Hezekiah had said to Isaiah, “What will be the sign that the Lord will heal me, and that I will ascend to the temple of the Lord on the third day?”
Hezekiah loh Isaiah taengah, “BOEIPA loh kai he n'hoeih sak tih a thum hnin ah BOEIPA im la ka caeh ham miknoek te melae?” a ti nah.
9 And Isaiah said to him: “This will be the sign from the Lord, that the Lord will do the word that he has spoken: Do you wish that the shadow may ascend ten lines, or that it may turn back for the same number of degrees?”
Te vaengah Isaiah loh, “He tah nang ham BOEIPA lamkah miknoek pawn ni. Ol a thui bangla khokhawn loh tangtlaeng parha a poeng ham khaw, tangtlaeng parha a mael ham khaw, BOEIPA loh a saii bitni,” a ti nah.
10 And Hezekiah said: “It is easy for the shadow to increase for ten lines. And so I do not wish that this be done. Instead, let it turn back for ten degrees.”
Te vaengah Hezekiah, “Khokhawn loh tangtlaeng parha a poeng ham tah yoeikoek pawt nim? Te dongah khokhawn he tangtlaeng parha a hnuk la mael mai saeh,” a ti nah.
11 And so the prophet Isaiah called upon the Lord. And he led back the shadow, along the lines by which it had already descended on the sundial of Ahaz, in reverse for ten degrees.
Tonghma Isaiah loh BOEIPA a khue thil tangloeng vaengah tah tangtlaeng dongkah khokhawn khaw mael tih Ahaz kah tangtlaeng dongah khaw a hnuk la tangtlaeng parha rhum van.
12 At that time, Merodach-baladan, the son of Baladan, the king of the Babylonians, sent letters and gifts to Hezekiah. For he had heard that Hezekiah had been ill.
Te vaeng tue ah Hezekiah a tloh te Babylon manghai Baladan capa Merodakbaldan loh a yaak dongah Hezekiah taengla capat neh khocang a pat.
13 Now Hezekiah rejoiced at their arrival, and so he revealed to them the house of aromatic spices, and the gold and silver, and the various pigments and ointments, and the house of his vessels, and all that he was able to have in his treasuries. There was nothing in his house, nor in all his dominions, that Hezekiah did not show to them.
Hezekiah loh amih te a yaak sak tih amih te a likmal im kah cak neh sui khaw, botui neh situi then khaw, a hnopai im khaw, a thakvoh khuikah a hmuh boeih khaw boeih a tueng. A im khui neh a khohung pum kah te Hezekiah loh amih a tueng pawh hno om pawh.
14 Then the prophet Isaiah came to king Hezekiah, and said to him: “What did these men say? And from where did they come to you?” And Hezekiah said to him, “They came to me from Babylon, from a far away land.”
Te dongah tonghma Isaiah loh manghai Hezekiah te a paan tih amah taengah, “Tekah hlang rhoek loh balae a thui, me lamkah nim nang taengla ha pawk uh,” a ti nah. Te vaengah Hezekiah loh, “Kho hla lamkah, Babylon lamkah ha pawk uh,” a ti nah.
15 And he responded, “What did they see in your house?” And Hezekiah said: “They saw all things whatsoever that are in my house. There is nothing in my treasuries that I did not show to them.”
Te phoeiah, “Na im ah balae a hmuh?” a ti nah hatah Hezekiah loh, “Ka im kah a cungkuem he a hmuh uh. Ka thakvoh khuikah khaw amih ka tueng pawh hno pakhat khaw om pawh,” a ti nah.
16 And so Isaiah said to Hezekiah: “Listen to the word of the Lord.
Tedae Isaiah loh Hezekiah te, “BOEIPA ol he hnatun lah.
17 Behold, the days are coming when all that is in your house, and all that your fathers have stored up even to this day, will be carried away to Babylon. Nothing at all shall remain, says the Lord.
A tue ha pawk vetih na im kah a cungkuem neh na pa rhoek loh tahae khohnin due a kael te khaw Babylon la a phueih vetih paih mahpawh. BOEIPA loh ol a thui coeng.
18 Then too, they will take from your sons, who will go forth from you, whom you will conceive. And they will be eunuchs in the palace of the king of Babylon.”
Namah lamloh aka thoeng na ca sak rhoek te khaw a khuen, a khuen uh vetih Babylon manghai bawkim ah imkhoem la om uh ni,” a ti nah.
19 Hezekiah said to Isaiah: “The word of the Lord, which you have spoken, is good. Let peace and truth be in my days.”
Tedae, “Rhoepnah neh uepomnah he kamah tue vaengah om mai pawt nim?” a ti dongah Hezekiah loh Isaiah te, “Na thui bangla BOEIPA ol tah then,” a ti nah.
20 Now the rest of the words of Hezekiah, and all his strength, and how he made a pool, and an aqueduct, and how he brought waters into the city, have these not been written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Judah?
Hezekiah kah ol noi neh a thayung thamal boeih khaw, tuibuem neh tuilong a saii tih khopuei la tui a pawk sak khaw, Judah manghai rhoek kah khokhuen olka cabu dongah a daek uh moenih a?
21 And Hezekiah slept with his fathers. And Manasseh, his son, reigned in his place.
Hezekiah te a napa rhoek taengla a khoem uh phoeiah tah a capa Manasseh te anih yueng la manghai.
