< 2 Kings 19 >
1 And it came to pass when king Hezekiah heard [it], that he rent his garments, and covered himself with sackcloth, and went into the house of Jehovah.
Manghai Hezekiah loh a yaak van neh a himbai te a phen. Tlamhni te a bai tih BOEIPA im la cet.
2 And he sent Eliakim, who was over the household, and Shebna the scribe, and the elders of the priests, covered with sackcloth, to the prophet Isaiah the son of Amoz.
Te phoeiah im aka hung Eliakim, cadaek Shebna, tlamhni aka bai khosoih ham rhoek te Amoz capa tonghma Isaiah taengla a tueih.
3 And they said to him, Thus says Hezekiah: This day is a day of trouble and of rebuke and of reviling; for the children are come to the birth, and there is not strength to bring forth.
Te phoeiah Isaiah te, “Hezekiah loh he ni a thui. Tahae khohnin he tah citcai neh, toelthamnah neh kokhahnah khohnin coeng ni. Camoe om ham a pha coeng dae a cun ham thadueng om pawh.
4 It may be Jehovah thy God will hear all the words of Rab-shakeh, whom the king of Assyria his master has sent to reproach the living God; and will rebuke the words which Jehovah thy God has heard. Therefore lift up a prayer for the remnant that is left.
Rabshakeh kah ol cungkuem te na Pathen BOEIPA loh a yaak khaming. Anih te a boei Assyria manghai loh aka hing Pathen veet hamla a tueih. Na Pathen BOEIPA loh a yaak bangla a ol soah a tluung bitni. Te dongah a meet la a hmuh rhoek ham mah thangthuinah khueh mai laeh,” a ti uh.
5 And the servants of king Hezekiah came to Isaiah.
Manghai Hezekiah kah sal rhoek te khaw Isaiah taengla pawk uh tangloeng.
6 And Isaiah said to them, Thus shall ye say to your master: Thus saith Jehovah: Be not afraid of the words that thou hast heard, wherewith the servants of the king of Assyria have blasphemed me.
Te vaengah amih te Isaiah loh, “Na boei rhoek te thui pah. BOEIPA loh he ni a thui. Ol na yaak soah rhih uh boeh. Assyria manghai kah tueihyoeih rhoek loh kai n'hliphen uh.
7 Behold, I will put a spirit into him, and he shall hear tidings, and shall return to his own land; and I will make him to fall by the sword in his own land.
Kai loh a khuiah mueihla ka paek tih olthang a yaak coeng ke. Te dongah amah kho la mael bitni. Anih te amah kho ah cunghang dongla ka cungku sak ni,” a ti nah.
8 And Rab-shakeh returned, and found the king of Assyria warring against Libnah; for he had heard that he had departed from Lachish.
Lakhish lamkah a caeh te a yaak vaengah Rabshakeh khaw nong tih Assyria manghai loh Libnah a vathoh thil te a hmuh.
9 And he heard say of Tirhakah king of Ethiopia, Behold, he has come forth to make war with thee. And he sent messengers again to Hezekiah, saying,
Kusah manghai Tirhakah kawng a yaak vaengah khaw, “Nang vathoh thil ham ha pawk coeng ke,” a ti nah. Te dongah mael tih Hezekiah taengla puencawn a tueih.
10 Thus shall ye speak to Hezekiah king of Judah saying: Let not thy God, upon whom thou reliest, deceive thee, saying, Jerusalem shall not be delivered into the hand of the king of Assyria.
Te vaengah, “Judah manghai Hezekiah te thui pah lamtah, ‘A soah na pangtung thil na Pathen loh nang n'rhaithi boel saeh. Jerusalem te Assyria manghai kut ah tloeng mahpawh,’ na ti.
11 Behold, thou hast heard what the kings of Assyria have done to all countries, destroying them utterly; and shalt thou be delivered?
Assyria manghai rhoek loh diklai tom ah a saii te na yaak coeng he. ‘Amih te a thup ham coeng dongah na huul uh hatko.
12 Have the gods of the nations which my fathers have destroyed delivered them: Gozan, and Haran, and Rezeph, and the children of Eden that were in Thelassar?
Kai napa rhoek aka phae namtom pathen loh amih Gozan neh Haran, Rezeph neh Telassar kah Eden ca rhoek te a huul aya?
13 Where is the king of Hamath, and the king of Arpad, and the king of the city of Sepharvaim, of Hena, and Ivvah?
Khamath manghai neh Arpad manghai, Hena Sepharvaim neh Ivvah khopuei manghai te ta?’ na ti,” a ti nah.
14 And Hezekiah received the letter from the hand of the messengers, and read it; and Hezekiah went up into the house of Jehovah, and spread it before Jehovah.
Hezekiah loh puencawn kut lamkah capat te a doe tih a tae. Te phoeiah BOEIPA im la cet tih Hezekiah loh BOEIPA mikhmuh ah a kut a phuel.
15 And Hezekiah prayed before Jehovah and said, Jehovah, God of Israel, who sittest [between] the cherubim, thou, the Same, thou alone art the God of all the kingdoms of the earth: thou hast made the heavens and the earth.
Hezekiah te BOEIPA mikhmuh ah thangthui tih, “Cherubim ah aka ngol Israel Pathen BOEIPA aw, nang namah bueng ni diklai ram boeih soah Pathen la na om. Namah loh vaan neh diklai na saii.
16 Incline thine ear, Jehovah, and hear; open, Jehovah, thine eyes, and see; and hear the words of Sennacherib, who hath sent him to reproach the living God.
BOEIPA aw na hna kaeng lamtah ya lah, BOEIPA aw na mik dai lamtah hmu laeh. A hing Pathen veet hamla Sennacherib loh ol a pat te hnatun nawn.
17 Of a truth, Jehovah, the kings of Assyria have laid waste the nations and their lands,
BOEIPA aw Assyria manghai rhoek loh namtom rhoek neh a khohmuen te khaw a khah coeng.
18 and have cast their gods into the fire; for they were no gods, but the work of men's hands, wood and stone; therefore have they destroyed them.
Amih kah pathen rhoek te hmai khuila a pup coeng. Te rhoek te pathen pawt tih hlang kut dongkah bibi, thing neh lungto la a om dongah milh uh coeng.
19 And now, Jehovah our God, I beseech thee, save us out of his hand, that all the kingdoms of the earth may know that thou, Jehovah, art God, thou only.
Kaimih kah Pathen BOEIPA aw tahae ah kaimih he anih kut lamloh n'khang laeh. Te daengah ni diklai ram pum loh nang namah bueng te Pathen BOEIPA la m'ming eh,” a ti.
20 And Isaiah the son of Amoz sent to Hezekiah, saying, Thus saith Jehovah the God of Israel: That which thou hast prayed to me concerning Sennacherib king of Assyria I have heard.
Te dongah Amoz capa Isaiah loh Hezekiah taengla ol atah tih, “Israel Pathen BOEIPA loh he ni a thui. Assyria manghai Sennacherib kongah kai taengla na thangthui te ka yaak coeng.
21 This is the word that Jehovah has spoken against him: The virgin-daughter of Zion despiseth thee, laugheth thee to scorn; The daughter of Jerusalem shaketh her head at thee.
Ol he BOEIPA loh anih a thui thil coeng. Zion nu, oila nang te n'hnoelrhoeng thil uh tih nang te n'tamdaeng coeng. Na hnuk ah Jerusalem nu loh lu a hinghuen.
22 Whom hast thou reproached and blasphemed? and against whom hast thou exalted the voice? Against the Holy one of Israel hast thou lifted up thine eyes on high.
Unim na veet tih na hliphen? U taengah nim ol na huel? Israel kah a cim la na maelhmai kah koevoeinah na phueih thil.
23 By thy messengers thou hast reproached the Lord, and hast said, With the multitude of my chariots have I come up To the height of the mountain, to the recesses of Lebanon, And I will cut down its tall cedars, the choice of its cypresses; And I will enter into its furthest lodging-place, [into] the forest of its fruitful field.
Na puencawn rhoek kah kut lamloh ka Boeipa te na veet tih, ‘Leng khaw kamah kah leng muep om, kai tah Lebanon hlaep kah tlang sang la ka luei, a lamphai thing sang neh hmaical a hloe khaw ka top. A cangphil cangngol duup a bawtnah kah rhaehim khaw ka pha.
24 I have digged, and have drunk strange waters, And with the sole of my feet have I dried up all the streams of Matsor.
Kamah loh ka rhawt dae kholong tui ni ka ok. Ka kho dongkah khopha loh Egypt sokko khaw boeih ka kak sak,’ na ti.
25 Hast thou not heard long ago that I have done it? And that from ancient days I formed it? Now have I brought it to pass, that thou shouldest lay waste fortified cities [into] ruinous heaps.
Hlamat tue lamloh ka saii te na ya daengrhae pawt nim? Te te ka hlinsai tih ka thoeng sak coeng. Te dongah vong cak khopuei aka hnuei tih lungkuk aka pong sak la na om coeng.
26 And their inhabitants were powerless, They were dismayed and put to shame; They were [as] the growing grass, and [as] the green herb, [As] the grass on the housetops, and grain blighted before it be grown up.
A khuikah khosa rhoek khaw a kut toi uh coeng. Rhihyawp uh tih yak uh coeng. Lohma kah baelhing neh imphu kah baeldaih sulnoe khopol bangla om uh tih canghli kah mawn bangla om.
27 But I know thine abode, and thy going out, and thy coming in, And thy raging against me.
“Tedae na ngol khaw, na vuenva neh na kunael khaw, kai nan tlai thil te khaw ka ming.
28 Because thy raging against me and thine arrogance is come up into mine ears, I will put my ring in thy nose, and my bridle in thy lips, And I will make thee go back by the way by which thou camest.
“Kai nan tlai thil tih nan lawn khaw kai hna la ha pawk coeng. Te dongah ka thisum neh na hnarhong ah kan toeh vetih ka kamrhui he na hmuilai ah kam bang ni. Te lamkah na pawk vanbangla nang te tekah longpuei lamloh kam mael sak ni.
29 And this [shall be] the sign unto thee: They shall eat this year such as groweth of itself, And in the second year that which springeth of the same; But in the third year sow ye and reap, And plant vineyards and eat the fruit thereof.
“He tah nang ham miknoek la om saeh. Kum khat pong vetih kum bae dongah anboe te ca. Kum thum dongah tawn uh lamtah at uh. Misur khaw phung uh lamtah a thaih te ca uh.
30 And the remnant that is escaped of the house of Judah Shall again take root downward, and bear fruit upward;
A dang ah a yung aka sueng Judah imkhui kah rhalyong te a koei vetih a soah a thaih thai ni.
31 For out of Jerusalem shall go forth a remnant, And out of mount Zion they that escape: The zeal of Jehovah [of hosts] shall do this.
Jerusalem lamkah a meet neh Zion tlang lamkah rhalyong loh a pawk vaengah, caempuei BOEIPA kah thatlainah khaw cung bitni.
32 Therefore thus saith Jehovah concerning the king of Assyria: He shall not come into this city, Nor shoot an arrow there, Nor come before it with shield, Nor cast a bank against it.
“Te dongah BOEIPA loh Assyria manghai kongah he ni a thui. Anih te he khopuei la ha pawk mahpawh. Heah he thaltang khaw nuen mahpawh. photling te khaw dan pawt vetih tanglung khaw lun thil mahpawh.
33 By the way that he came, by the same shall he return, And shall not come into this city, saith Jehovah.
Tekah longpuei lamloh ha pawk vanbangla te lamlong ni a mael eh. He khopuei khuila kun mahpawh. He tah BOEIPA kah olphong coeng ni.
34 And I will defend this city, to save it, For mine own sake, and for my servant David's sake.
Kamah ham neh ka sal David kongah khopuei he daem sak ham ka tungaep ni,” a ti nah.
35 And it came to pass that night, that an angel of Jehovah went forth, and smote in the camp of the Assyrians a hundred and eighty-five thousand. And when they arose early in the morning, behold, they were all dead bodies.
Te khoyin ah tah BOEIPA kah puencawn te cet tangloeng tih Assyria caem khuikah te thawng yakhat sawmrhet thawng nga a ngawn. Te dongah mincang kah a thoh uh vaengah tah amih te a rhok la boeih ana duek.
36 And Sennacherib king of Assyria departed, and went and returned, and abode at Nineveh.
Te dongah puen uh tih a nong phoeiah tah Assyria manghai Sennacherib khaw mael tih Nineveh ah kho a sak.
37 And it came to pass, as he was worshipping in the house of Nisroch his god, that Adrammelech and Sharezer [his sons] smote him with the sword; and they escaped into the land of Ararat. And Esarhaddon his son reigned in his stead.
Te phoeiah om tih anih te a pathen Nisrock im ah tho a thueng dae a capa Adrammelech neh Sharezer loh cunghang neh a ngawn. Amih rhoi te Ararat kho la a poeng rhoi dongah a capa Esarhaddon te anih yueng la manghai.
