< Isaiah 37 >

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.
Leng Hezekiah in ahetsahnao thu chu ajah phatnin, avonho chu abot teltan, khaodip pon akikhun Pakai houin achun alut tan ahi.
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.
Chuin Eliakim, leng inpi vaipopa, Sheba thutanna'a thuchingpa, chuleh thempu'a pang lamkai cheng chu khaodip pon von pumin Amos chapa Isaiah themgao henga asoltan ahi.
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.
Amahon Isaiah themgao henga hitihin aseijun ahi. “Leng Hezekiah in hitin aseije: Tuni hi boina, kumna, chuleh jachatna nikho ahitai. Naosen penglha dinga kigosa ahia lah anun naopenlhah nadinga thanei lou tobang ahi.
4 It may be Jehovah thy God will hear 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 hath heard. Therefore lift up a prayer for the remnant that is left.
Ahin, hingjing Pathen chouna'a lengpan ahinsol hiche Assyria jalamkaipu thusei hi na Pakai Pathen chun ana hetan tin, athusei ho jouse jeh in gotna pe inte. Aw, keiho amoh chengse din neitao peh un!”
5 And the servants of king Hezekiah came to Isaiah.
Leng Hezekiah vaipo pipu hon lengpa thuhil Isaiah themgao kom alhut jou uvin,
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.
Hitin adonbut in ahi. “Na lengpau kom'a, “Pakai in hitin aseije, tiuvin: Assyria lengpa palai hon keima taitomna'a athusei juchu kisuhboi sah hih in.
7 Behold, I will put a spirit into him, and he shall hear tidings, and shall return to his own land; and I will cause him to fall by the sword in his own land.
Ngaijin! keima matah ama douna'a kakalson ding ahi. A in na kona thuhil khatnin lengpa ngaichat khoh ahi ti amu ding, chuleh agam'a hung kile ding, chuteng tah chuleh a chemjam mama'a ka lousah ding ahi.”
8 And Rab-shakeh returned, and found the king of Assyria warring against Libnah; for he had heard that he had departed from Lachish.
Hiche phatsung chun, Assyria jalamkai pun Jerusalem dalhan Assyria lengpa, Lachish dalha'a Libnah ana nokhum laichun kijah topi din achen ahi.
9 And he heard say of Tirhakah king of Ethiopia, He has come forth to make war with thee. And when he heard [it], he sent messengers to Hezekiah, saying,
Phat chomkhat jou nungin leng Sennacherib in thukhat amun, hichu Ethopia lengpa Tirhakah in amadoudin galsat sepai tampi toh ahung konin ahi, ti ahi. Adou ho kimaitopi masangin Jerusalem'a Hezekiah henga din apalaiho hiche thuhil hi apohsah in ahi:
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.
“Hiche thuhil hi Judah aum leng Hezekiah ding ahi. Assyria lengpan Jerusalem alah joulou ding ahi tia natah san jing na Pathen chu kilheplhah sah hih in.
11 Behold, thou hast heard what the kings of Assyria have done to all countries, destroying them utterly; and shalt thou be delivered?
Assyria lengten achena jouseu va ipi abolna hechen setnin ahi. Alampiu va asuboi ho jouse jong asumanggam hel un ahi! Nang ipi chom nahi deh ding ham?
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?
Chidang namdang pathen hon Gojan, Haran, Rezeph chuleh Eden mite Tel-assar a cheng gamho itih a ahuhdoh khah uvem? Kapu kapaten asuhmangsa ahibou uve.
13 Where is the king of Hamath, and the king of Arpad, and the king of the city of Sepharvaim, of Hena, and Ivvah?
Hamath lengpa leh Arpad lengpa ipi tilhona hitam? Sepharvaim, Hena chuleh Ivvah lengho itiuva hitam?”
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 in palaiho akon'a thuhil amujouvin, asimin, Pakai houin na akaltouvin, Pakai anga aphajal tan ahi:
15 And Hezekiah prayed to Jehovah, saying,
Chuin Hezekiah Pakai anga hitihin ataotan ahi:
16 Jehovah of hosts, the 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.
“Aw Van Janel Pakai, Israel Pathen, vantil thanei holah'a leng changa nahi! Vannoi leiset lenggam jouse chunga Pathen, nangma bou nahi. Vanho leh leiset sem'a nangma bou nahi.
17 Incline thine ear, O Jehovah, and hear; open, Jehovah, thine eyes, and see; and hear all the words of Sennacherib, who hath sent to reproach the living God.
Hungkum lhan lang hung ngaijin Aw Pakai! Namit in hin vetan Aw Pakai! Sennacherib in hing jing Pathen douna'a athusei ho hin ngaijin.
18 Of a truth, Jehovah, the kings of Assyria have laid waste all the lands, and their countries,
“Adih e, Pakai, Assyria lengten hiche gamho chu ana suhmangu ahi.
19 and have cast their gods into the fire; for they were no gods, but the work of men's hands, wood and stone; and they have destroyed them.
Chuleh chidang namdang te pathen semthu ho chu meilhum sunga aleh lut nun, ahallha taovin ahi. Ahin, ahimongin Assyria ten song'a kon mihem khutnin asuitoh ahibou vin, Pathen hinaisai lou u ahi.
20 And now, Jehovah our God, save us out of his hand, that all the kingdoms of the earth may know that thou art Jehovah, thou only.
Tun, Aw Pakai ka Pathen u, athanei na akonin neihuh doh un; chuleh leiset'a lenggam jousen nangma bou, Aw Pakai, Pathen nahi ahetdiu ahi.”
21 And Isaiah the son of Amoz sent to Hezekiah, saying, Thus saith Jehovah the God of Israel, Whereas thou hast prayed to me concerning Sennacherib king of Assyria,
Hichun Amoz chapa Isaiah in Hezekiah henga hiche thuhil hi athot in: Hiche hi Pakai, Israel Pathen in asei ahi: Assyria lengpa Sennacherib chung changa natao jeh in,
22 this is the word which Jehovah hath spoken against him: The virgin-daughter of Zion despiseth thee, laugheth thee to scorn; the daughter of Jerusalem shaketh her head at thee.
Pakai in hiche thucheng hi ama dounan aseitan ahi: “Zion a nungah theng nun ha kidah in, na nuisat e. Jerusalem chanun najam chu nuisat in alu athinge.
23 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.
Koiham nahsah louleh nuisat'a nakoi jing chu? Koi douna'a na aw nasan sah ham? Ki hoitho sah tah'a koi na navet ham? Israel Mitheng Pachu ahi!
24 By thy servants thou hast reproached the Lord, and hast said, With the multitude of my chariots am I come up to the height of the mountains, 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 height, [into] the forest of its fruitful field.
Na palai ho mangchan Pakai chu nahsahlou vin na nakoije. “Ka sakol kangtalai tamtah mangchan, mol le lhang sangtah ho kana loukhum jouvin ahi,” tin aseije-ahi, Lebanon lhang leh, molchung vum ahi. Cedar thingphungho asangpen jong kaphuh lhun chuleh chahthing thingphungho asangpen jong kaphuh lhun chuleh chahthing phapen ho geijin ka phuh lhun ahi. Asangpen tah gei kaphan chuleh gammang sunggil ho gei jin ka khol chil soh kei tai.
25 I have digged and drunk water; and with the sole of my feet have I dried up all the streams of Matsor.
Gamchom mun tamtah'a tuikhuh ho ka laijin, atuija chun keima leh keima kaki sulip jin ahi. Ka kengto'a Egypt vadung ho ka sutangin ahi.
26 Hast thou not heard that long ago I did 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.
“Ahin na najah khah lou ham? Hiche masanga patna kana gel lhuhsa ahitai. Sotna patna kana gon ahitan, ahin tua hi kalhun sah ahitai. A khopiu kulpi ho songbong kiselom banga na suhchip dinga kana gontup peh ahitai.
27 And their inhabitants were powerless, they were dismayed and put to shame; they were [as] the grass of the field and the green herb, [as] the grass on the housetops, and grain blighted before it be grown up.
Hijeh a chu amiteu vin tha lhahsam na aneiyun, kichat leh lungboi in aum taovin ahi. Hampa bangin alhachom uvin, aum taovin ahi. Hampa bangin alhachom uvin, ajih don doh ho hetman louva kichotpa tobang ahi. Inchung vum'a hampa hung thah dondoh ho tamtah ahung kedoh masanga nisa in akahvoi tobang ahi.
28 But I know thine abode, and thy going out, and thy coming in, and thy raging against me.
Ahin, hoilai nache'a hoilai na um, chuleh itih a na kondoh'a nahung vailhun kahe chen setnin ahi. Ka chunga na lunghan dan jong kahe chen set ne.
29 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.
Ka chunga na lunghan jeh leh na hoithona jeh in thihkoi'a na nahkui kahin koiding chuleh sakol kamvo na kam'a kabupeh ding ahi. Na hungna lampi mama achu kakinung le sah ding ahi.”
30 And this [shall be] the sign unto thee: there shall be eaten 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.
Hichun Hezekiah henga Isaiah in aseijin, “Ka thusei adih photchenna chu hiche hi ahi: “Tukum leh amacham'a hung kehdoh hobou naneh ding ahin, akum kit leh hiche'a kon'a hung sohdoh ho naneh ding ahi. Ahin a kumthhum channa leh nangman chang le mim na tua na kikhol tup ding ahi; lengpi lei phate nabol'a agasoh naneh ding ahi.
31 And the remnant that is escaped of the house of Judah shall again take root downward, and bear fruit upward;
Chuleh Judah a kidalha galmite a kon'a sohcha jouse na leiset noi langa jung hinkholet untin, chuleh ninglhing setna hung khanglen diu ahi.
32 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.
Ajehchu kamite amoh chengse chu Jerusalem'a konin hung potdoh untinm chuleh asohcha ahing cheng chu Zion lhanga kon'a hung potdoh diu ahi. Van janel Pakai tomngainan hiche hi atah'a ahin sosah ding ahi!
33 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.
Chuleh Assyria lengpa chunchanga Pakai in hitin aseije: “Agalsat sepai ho Jerusalem lutlou diu ahi. Thel changkhat jong alhalut loudiu ahi. Kidalna pho pum'a akot mai dunga kijot le lou diu, chuleh abangho dung'a jong leipal asetlou diu ahi.
34 By the way that he came, by the same shall he return, and shall not come into this city, saith Jehovah.
Lengpa jong ahungna lampi mama'a agam'a kinung lekit ding ahi. Ama chu khopi lutlou ding ahi, tin Pakai in aseije.
35 And I will defend this city, to save it, for mine own sake, and for my servant David's sake.
'Ajehchu keima jal le, kasohpa David jal'a, hiche khopi hi kahonbit na ka ventup ding ahi.”
36 And 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.
Hiche jan Pakai vantil chu Assyria te ngahmun'a achen, Assyria sepai mi sang jakhat leh sang somget leh nga athatnin ahi. Assyria mi asohcha honkhat jingkah ahung kithophat un muntina thilong amutaovin ahi.
37 And Sennacherib king of Assyria departed, and went and returned, and abode at Nineveh.
Hichun Assyria lengpa Sennacherib chun ngahmun chu asusen agam'a akinung letai. A in lama achen, Nineveh khopi achun a umtan ahi.
38 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.
Nikhat a pathen Nisroch ahoupet nin, achapa teni Adrammelech leh Sharezer in achemjam lhona ana that lhon tan ahi. Hichun anigel lhonin Ararat gam'a ana jam lhon tan, achapa holah a khat Esarhaddon chu Assyria lengin apantan ahi.
