2 Kings 18
1 In the third year of Osee the son of Ela king of Israel, reigned Ezechias the son of Achaz king of Juda.
Israel gam’ah Hoshea leng chankal kum thum alhin in, Ahaz chapa Hezekiah in Judah gam’ah lengvai ahin hom pan’in ahi.
2 He was five and twenty years old when he began to reign: and he reigned nine and twenty years in Jerusalem: the name of his mother was Abi the daughter of Zacharias.
Ama leng ahung chan chun akum somni le nga alhingtan ahi, chuleh Jerusalem’ah kum smni le ko lengvai anahom’in ahi. Anuchu Abijah, Zechariah chanu ahi.
3 And he did that which was good before the Lord, according to all that David his father had done.
Amahin apu David bangin Pathen mitmun Pathen deilam jeng ana bollin ahi.
4 He destroyed the high places, and broke the statues in pieces, and cut down the groves, and broke the brazen serpent, which Moses had made: for till that time the children of Israel burnt incense to it: and he called its name Nohestan.
Aman Pathen neilouho doiphung ana sumangin doikhom jouse jong avobong sohkeijin, Asherah doikhum hojong aphulhun, Mose’n sum-eng gullim ana semjong chu ana suchip in ahi, ajeh chu Israelten hiche gullim kisem komahi kilhaina asem uva gimnamtui jong ahal uva alhut nam jiu ahi. Hiche sum-eng gullim chu Nehushtan tin ana kihe in ahi.
5 He trusted in the Lord the God of Israel: so that after him there was none like him among all the kings of Juda, nor any of them that were before him:
Hezekiah in Pakai Israel Pathen chu ana tahsan’in ahi. Ama masang hihen anung hijongle, Judah gam lengho lah’a ama tobang koima ana umpon ahi.
6 And he stuck to the Lord, and departed not from his steps, but kept his commandments, which the Lord commanded Moses.
Aman Pakai chu imalam jouse in kitah tah in ana juiyin, chuleh aman Pathen’in Mose anapeh thupeh hochu lhingtah in ana juiyin ahi.
7 Wherefore the Lord also was with him, and in all things, to which he went forth, he behaved himself wisely. And he rebelled against the king of the Assyrians, and served him not.
Hijeh chun Pakaiyin ama chu ana umpi jing in, chuleh Hezekiah hi abolna atohna chan’ah alolhing in ahi. Amahin Assyria lengpa dounan kai pehding jong ana nompon ahi.
8 He smote the Philistines as far as Gaza, and all their borders, from the tower of the watchmen to the fenced city.
Aman Philistinte chu Gaza chanle agamsung’u khoneopen apat khopi lenpen Gaza le akimvel kho kulpi kikaikhum khopi geijin ana jouvin ahi.
9 In the fourth year of king Ezechias, which was the seventh year of Osee the son of Ela king of Israel, Salmanasar king of the Assyrians came up to Samaria, and besieged it,
Israel gam'a Hoshea lengpa vaihomkal kum sagi alhin in, Hezekiah lengvai hom kum alhin in, Assyria lengpa Shalmaneser chun Samaria khopi ahin um’in ahi.
10 And took it. For after three years, in the sixth year of Ezechias, that is, in the ninth year of Osee king of Israel, Samaria was taken:
Kum thum nungin, Israel lengpa Hoshea lengchan kal kum ko alhin chuleh Hezekiah lengchan kal kum gup alhin in, Samaria khopi chu pangjou talouvin alhutan ahi.
11 And the king of the Assyrians carried away Israel into Assyria, and placed them in Hale, and in Habor by the rivers of Gozan in the cities of the Medes:
Hichephat chun Assyria lengpan Israelte chu Assyria gam Halah mun’ah sohchang’in akoitan ahi. Hichehi Medes khopi sung Gozan munna Habon vadung pang ahi.
12 Because they hearkened not to the voice of the Lord their God, but transgressed his covenant: all that Moses the servant of the Lord commanded, they would not hear nor do.
Ajeh chu amahon Pakai a Pathen’u thupeh ajuinom pouvin, chuti sangin Pakai toh akitepnao asukeh’un, Pakai lhacha Mose in danho le anit diuva athupeh ho ana nitnom pouvin ahi.
13 In the fourteenth year of king Ezechias, Sennacherib king of the Assyrians came up against the fenced cities of Juda: and took them.
Hezekiah lengpa leng chankal kum som le li alhin in, Assyria lengpa Sennacherib ahungkon’in Judah khopi kulpi kigensa khopi hojouse chu ahin nokhum in, abonin alatan ahi.
14 Then Ezechias king of Juda sent messengers to the king of the Assyrians to Lachis, saying: I have offended, depart from me: and all that thou shalt put upon me, I will bear. And the king of the Assyrians put a tax upon Ezechias king of Juda, of three hundred talents of silver, and thirty talents of gold.
Hezekiah lengpan Lachish munna um Assyria lengpa kom’a hitihin thu athot’in, “Keiman kabol kheltai, gal bol na ngah a nakinungle kit poupouleh, ijat hijongleh nangin na-ngeh chan kai pejeng tange,” ati. Assyria lengpan kinopto thei lhonna dingin dangka ton somle khat chuleh sana ton khat angeh’in ahi.
15 And Ezechias gave all the silver that was found in the house of the Lord, and in the king’s treasures.
Hijat suhbulhit nading in, Hezekiah lengpan Pakai houin’a dangka kikoi jouse leh leng inpi’a sumle pai jouse jong achomkhom’in ahi.
16 At that time Ezechias broke the doors of the temple of the Lord, and the plates of gold which he had fastened on them, and gave them to the king of the Assyrians.
Hezekiah lengpan Pakai houin kot tomna’a ananei sana hochu akhoh lhan chuleh kot khom ho chunga kiloi sana hojong chu akhoh lhan Assyria lengpa chu apetan ahi.
17 And the king of the Assyrians sent Tharthan and Rabsaris, and Rabsaces from Lachis to king Ezechias with a strong army to Jerusalem: and they went up and came to Jerusalem, and they stood by the conduit of the upper pool, which is in the way of the fuller’s field.
Ahijing vang'in Assyria lengpan asepai lamkai lenpen patoh, galmunna lamkaipa ahin asepai lamkaiho pipui chunga apipuipa chutoh Lachish akonin, sepai tamtah toh Jerusalem’a Hezekiah lengpa toh kimaito dingin asollin ahi. Assyria mite hin sahlang twikulla twikilhutna pang chuleh pon kisopna mun na kithunglutna lamlen kom’a chun adingun ahi.
18 And they called for the king: and there went out to them Eliacim the son of Helcias who was over the house, and Sobna the scribe, and Joahe the son of Asaph the recorder.
Amahon Hezekiah lengpa chu kimupi dingin akouvun ahileh amaho toh kimu toding anoija natong ho Hilkiah chapa Eliakim, leng inpia vaihompa, thutanna munna lekhasun pu Shebna chuleh lengte thusim chinpa Asaph chapa Joah hocheng chu ana sollin ahi.
19 And Rabsaces said to them: Speak to Ezechias: Thus saith the great king, the king of the Assyrians: What is this confidence, wherein thou trustest?
Hiche jouchun, Assyria lengpa noija lamkai pipuipa chun Hezekiah thuthot ana neiyin, “Hichehi Assyria leng lenpa amatah kamcheng ahi, ‘Koipen natahsan a, koipen nakisonpi hitia hi lung olmo lou hella naum ham?” ati.
20 Perhaps thou hast taken counsel, to prepare thyself for battle. On whom dost thou trust, that thou darest to rebel?
“Nangin thu homkeova hi sepai galsat thepna le athahat na ho akhel thei dia natasah ham? Koipen chunga naki-ngaiya keima nei dou jeng ham?
21 Dost thou trust in Egypt a staff of a broken reed, upon which if a man lean, it will break and go into his hand, and pierce it? so is Pharao king of Egypt, to all that trust in him.
Ole Egypt chunga nakisonpi ham? Egypt chunga nakingai ahileh hiche Egypt khu peng tenggol natahsa gih in atouchip’a nakhut asuhvang tobangbep hiding ahi. Egypt lengpa Pharaoh hi kingaina thei hilou hel ahi,” ati.
22 But if you say to me: We trust in the Lord our God: is it not he, whose high places and altars Ezechias hath taken away: and hath commanded Juda and Jerusalem: You shall worship before this altar in Jerusalem?
“Ahin nangin kakom’a, Keiho Pakai ka Pathen uva kingai kahi nati diu ahi, ahinla Amachu Hezekiah in noise tah’a anabol hilouham? Judah gam le Jerusalem mite Jerusalem maicham phungseh a bou Pathen houdia seipeh a, Pakai doiphung jouse le maicham ho sumang pa Hezekiah hilou ham?” ati.
23 Now therefore come over to my master the king of the Assyrians, and I will give you two thousand horses, and see whether you be able to have riders for them.
“Keima naseipeh uvinge! KaPakaipa Assyria lengpa hitoh kinoptona bol lhon’in, nangin mi naneijou dingleh sakol sangni na penge.
24 And how can you stand against one lord of the least of my master’s servants? Dost thou trust in Egypt for chariots and for horsemen?
Hitobang sepai honlhomcha khat’a hi, kapupa sepaihon ahatmopen jeng jonghi nachou-ngam ding hinam? Egypt sakol kangtalai holeh kangtalai touthem hotoh kitho jongle chun i-nalo ding ham?
25 Is it without the will of the Lord that I am come up to this place to destroy it? The Lord said to me: Go up to this land and destroy it.
Tua hi ipimong mong nagel ham, nagam kahin nokhum’u jong hi, Pakaiyin eihin sollu ahi nahet lou u-ham? Gamsung khu ganokhum’unlang gasumang’un tia, Pakai amatah chun eiseipeh lou uva nagel uham?” ati.
26 Then Eliacim the son of Helcias, and Sobna, and Joahe said to Rabsaces: We pray thee speak to us thy servants in Syriac: for we understand that tongue: and speak not to us in the Jews’ language, in the hearing of the people that are upon the wall.
Hichun Hilkiah chapa Eliakim, Shebna le Joah chun Syria gal lamkai pipuipa kom’achun, “Lungset tah in keiho kom’ah Aramaic paovin neiseipeh’un, hichu keihon jong phaten apao chu kahe nauve. Hebrew paovin neiseipeh hih un, ajeh chu pal chung’a mipi hohin jakha get unte,” atiuve.
27 And Rabsaces answered them, saying: Hath my master sent me to thy master and to thee, to speak these words, and not rather to the men that sit upon the wall, that they may eat their own dung, and drink their urine with you?
Ahinlah sepai lamkai pipui Sennacherib chun ahin donbut’in, “KaPakai pauvin hiche thuhi napupau leh nangho chengseh jah dinga eiseisah uva nagellu ham? Mijousen ajah ding hi aman adei ahi. Ajeh chu hiche khopi hi kalah tenguleh amaho jong nangho toh thohgim thadiu ahi. Genthei jeh'a gilkel behseh tengle a-eh anehdiu chuleh dangchah behseh teng le ajun’u adondiu ahi.
28 Then Rabsaces stood, and cried out with a loud voice in the Jews’ language, and said: Hear the words of the great king, the king of the Assyrians.
Hichun sepai lamkai pipuipa chun pal chunga um mipiho hetdingin Hebrew paovin asap in asap thon, Assyria leng lenpa thupeh hi ngaijun,
29 Thus saith the king: Let not Ezechias deceive you: for he shall not be able to deliver you out of my hand.
“Lengpan aseichu hiche ahi, Hezekiah chu kilhep lhahsah hih un. Aman itinama jongleh keima thaneina-a konin nahuhdoh joupou vinte.
30 Neither let him make you trust in the Lord, saying: The Lord will surely deliver us, and this city shall not be given into the hand of the king of the Assyrians.
Aman nangho Pakai tahsan dingin kilhep lhahsah hihun, Pakaiyin eihuhdoh teidiu ahi, hiche tehohi Assyria lengpa khutna lutlou helding ahi atiu chu tahsan hih un.
31 Do not hearken to Ezechias. For thus saith the king of the Assyrians: Do with me that which is for your advantage, and come out to me: and every man of you shall eat of his own vineyard, and of his own fig tree: and you shall drink water of your own cisterns,
Hezekiah thusei tahsan hih un, Assyria lengpan nangho napehnom’u kitepna chu hichehi ahi. Keitoh chamna sem’un, khopi kelkot hi hong’unlang hung potdoh’un. Achutileh nanghon nalengpithei’u leh nathei chang’u nakinehdiu, chuleh na tuikul uva nakidondiu ahi.
32 Till I come, and take you away to a land, like to your own land, a fruitful land, and plentiful in wine, a land of bread and vineyards, a land of olives, and oil and honey, and you shall live, and not die. Hearken not to Ezechias, who deceiveth you, saying: The Lord will deliver us.
Chutengleh keiman nangho hiche tobang gamchom khatna kapohlut diu, changphat nale lengpithei phatna changlhah leh lengpithei phatna, olive thingle khoiju lonna munna kapuilut ding nahiuve. Thina sang’in hinkho kilhen joh un! Hezekiah in Pakaiyin eihuhdoh diu ahi atia nalhep lhah got’u chu tahsan hih un,
33 Have any of the gods of the nations delivered their land from the hand of the king of Assyria?
Koipen nam apathen’un Assyria lengpa khut’a ahuhdoh nahetkhah uvem?
34 Where is the god of Emath, and of Arphad? where is the god of Sepharvaim, of Ana, and of Ava? have they delivered Samaria out of my hand?
Hamath khopi le Arpad khopi teni pathen in ipi abolthei beh am? geldoh un, chuleh Sephervaim khopi, Hena khopi leh Ivvah khopi teho pathen ipi atohdoh beham? Koi pathen in kathahat na a kona Samariah ahuhdoh beham?
35 Who are they among all the gods of the nations, that have delivered their country out of my hand, that the Lord may deliver Jerusalem out of my hand?
Itobang nammite Pathen in kathaneina akona amite ahuhdoh beh am? Achutile ipi pentah chun Pakaiyin Jerusalem hi ka khut akona ahhuhing jou dia nagelsah mong’u ahidem?
36 But the people held their peace, and answered him not a word: for they had received commandment from the king that they should not answer him.
Ahinlah mipite chu Hezekiah in, “Thipbeh un donbut hih un,” tia thu apeh dungjuijun athipbeh un, koimacha apaopoh aumpou vin ahi.
37 And Eliacim the son of Helcias, who was over the house, and Sobna the scribe, and Joahe the son of Asaph the recorder, came to Ezechias, with their garments rent, and told him the words of Rabsaces.
Hijou chun leng inpia vaihompa Hilkiah chapa Eliakim thutanna'a lekhasun Shebna chuleh thusimbu chingpa Asaph chapa Joah chu Hezekiah kom’ah acheuvin lungimtah in asangkhol abot-eh un, hiti chun lengpa kimupin acheuvin, Assyria sepai lamkai pipuipa thusei chu aseipeh tauvin ahi.
