2 Kings 18
1 Hezekiah, son of Ahaz, became king of Judah in the third year of the reign of Hoshea, son of Elah, king of Israel.
Isarel siangpahrang Elah capa Hosi a bawinae kum pâthum navah, Judah siangpahrang Ahaz capa Hezekiah teh siangpahrang lah ao.
2 He was twenty-five when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem for twenty-nine years. His mother's name was Abi, daughter of Zechariah.
Bawi a kamtawng navah, ahni teh kum 25 touh a pha. Jerusalem vah 29 a bawi teh a manu min teh Abi, Zekhariah canu doeh.
3 He did what was right in the Lord's sight, following all that his forefather David had done.
A na min Devit ni a sak e pueng a sak teh BAWIPA mithmu vah kalan e hah ouk a sak.
4 He removed the high places, smashed the stone idols, and cut down the Asherah poles. He ground to pieces the bronze snake Moses had made, because up to then the Israelites had been sacrificing offerings to it. It was called Nehushtan.
Hmuenrasang hah a pahnawt teh meikaphawknaw a raphoe awh. Mosi ni a sak e rahum tahrun hah rep a dei awh. Hote atueng totouh Isarelnaw ni ahni koe hmuitui a thueng awh teh, hot teh Nehushta atipouh awh.
5 Hezekiah put his trust in the Lord, the God of Israel. Among the kings of Judah there was no one like him, neither before him nor after him.
Ahni teh Isarel BAWIPA Cathut a kângue. Hahoi ahni hnukkhu hoi Judah siangpahrangnaw thung dawk ahni patetlah apihai awm hoeh, a hnukkhu hai awm hoeh.
6 He stayed faithful to the Lord and did not give up following him. He kept the commandments that the Lord had given Moses.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, BAWIPA hah kacaklah a kuet. A hnuk pou a kâbang. BAWIPA ni Mosi koe a kâpoelawknaw a poe e hah a tarawi.
7 The Lord was with him; he was successful in everything he did. He defied the king of Assyria and refused to submit to him.
BAWIPA ni ahni koe ao pouh, a tâco a ceio nah pueng koe a lamcawn pouh. Assiria siangpahrang hah a tuk teh a san lah awm pouh hoeh.
8 He defeated the Philistines all the way to Gaza and the surrounding area, from watchtower to fortified town.
Filistinnaw hoiyah, Gaza totouh kacakpounge khopuinaw hoi ramvengimnaw hah koung a tâ awh.
9 In the fourth year of Hezekiah's reign, equivalent to the seventh year of the reign of Hoshea, son of Elah, king of Israel, Shalmaneser, king of Assyria, attacked Samaria, besieging it.
Hezekiah siangpahrang a bawinae kum 4 navah Isarel siangpahrang Elah capa Hosi a bawinae kum 7 nah hettelah doeh ao. Assiria siangpahrang Shalmaneser ni Samaria a tuk teh king a kalup.
10 The Assyrians conquered it after three years. This was during the sixth year of Hezekiah, equivalent to the ninth year of Hoshea, king of Israel.
A kum pâthum abaw tawmlei nah a la. Hezekiah a bawi kum 6 navah Isarel siangpahrang Hosi a bawi kum 9 nah Samaria koung a la.
11 The king of Assyria deported the Israelites to Assyria. He settled them in Halah, in Gozan on the Habor River, and in the towns of the Medes.
Isarelnaw ni BAWIPA e kâpoelawk a ngâi awh hoeh, kecu dawk Samaria teh Assiria ni a la awh. BAWIPA e san Mosi koehoi Isarelnaw hai BAWIPA e lawkkam a sak awh e teh a ek awh teh, tarawi ngai awh hoeh. Lawk ngai awh hoeh teh a lawkkam hai tarawi awh hoeh.
12 This happened because they refused to listen to the Lord their God and broke his agreement—all that Moses, the Lord's servant, had commanded. They refused to listen and did not obey.
Assiria siangpahrang ni Isarelnaw hah, Assiria ram koung a hrawi teh, Gozan palang teng, Medes khopui Halah, Habor naw dawkvah a ta.
13 Sennacherib, king of Assyria, attacked and conquered all the fortified towns of Judah in the fourteenth year of the reign of Hezekiah.
Siangpahrang Hezekiah ni Judah ram a uknae kum 14 nah, Assiria siangpahrang Sennacherib ni Judah ram thung rapan hoi king kalup e khopuinaw a tuk teh koung a tâ.
14 So Hezekiah, king of Judah, sent a message to the king of Assyria who was at Lachish, saying, “I've made a terrible mistake! Please retreat and leave me alone, and I'll pay you whatever you want!” The king of Assyria demanded Hezekiah, king of Judah, pay three hundred talents of silver and thirty talents of gold.
Lakhish ni Assiria siangpahrang koevah, Judah siangpahrang Hezekiah ni ka payon toe. Na ban takhai teh, kai van na toung e pueng teh ka tawk han telah lawk a thui. Assiria siangpahrang ni Judah siangpahrang Hezekiah koe tangka talen 300 touh hoi sui talen 30 touh a hei.
15 Hezekiah paid him using all the silver from the Lord's Temple and the treasuries of the royal palace.
Hahoi teh, Hezekiah ni, BAWIPA im hoi siangpahrang im a ta awh e tangka hoi suinaw pueng a poe.
16 He even stripped the gold he had used to overlay the doors and doorposts of the Lord's Temple and gave everything to the king of Assyria.
Hezekiah ni, BAWIPA bawkim takhang a hlun awh e Judah siangpahrang Hezekiah ni khom sui e a hlun e hah abuemlah he a la teh Assiria siangpahrang a poe.
17 Even so, the king of Assyria sent his commander in chief, his head officer, and his army general, along with a large army, from Lachish to King Hezekiah at Jerusalem. They approached Jerusalem and made camp beside the aqueduct of the upper pool, on the road to where laundry is washed.
Hahoi Assiria siangpahrang ni ransabawi Rabsaris, Rabshakeh, hoi ransa moikapap hoi Lakhish hoi Jerusalem Judah siangpahrang Hezekiah koe vah, a patoun teh, Jerusalem a pha awh. A pha toteh hnicu kapasunaw law lam tuikamuemnae kanîtholah, kaawm e tui lanae a teng vah a kangdue awh.
18 They called for the king. Eliakim, son of Hilkiah, the palace manager, Shebnah the scribe, and Joah, son of Asaph, the record-keeper, went out to speak with them.
Siangpahrang hah a kaw a toteh, imthung kahrawikung, Hilkiah capa Eliakim hoi cakathutkung Shebna, hoi lairui kathutkung Asaph capa Joab hah ahnimouh koe a tâco.
19 The Assyrian army general said to them, “Tell Hezekiah this is what the great king, the king of Assyria, says: What are you trusting in that gives you such confidence?
Rabshakeh ni, Hezekiah koevah dei pouh awh, siangpahrang ka lentoe Assiria siangpahrang ni, telah a dei, apimaw na kângue teh na lungmawngkhai vaw.
20 You say you have a strategy and are ready for war, but these are empty words. Who are you relying on, now that you have rebelled against me?
Ransa thaw nahane teh, thaonae hoi khokhangthoumnae ka tawn na ti nahoehmaw. Hatei, hot teh lawk rumram na dei e doeh. Kai tuk hanelah, apimaw na kângue.
21 Now look! You're trusting in Egypt, a walking stick that's like a broken reed that will cut the hand of anyone leaning on it. That's what Pharaoh, king of Egypt, is like to everyone who trusts in him.
Khenhaw! kâkhoe e lungpum sonron Izip na kângue teh hot patetlae tami ngaihawi pawiteh, a kut a ruk pouh han, Izip siangpahrang Faro ka kângue e pueng teh, hot patetlah doeh ouk ao awh.
22 If you tell me, ‘We're trusting in the Lord our God,’ well didn't Hezekiah remove his high places and his altars, telling Judah and Jerusalem: ‘You have to worship at this altar in Jerusalem’?
Nahoeh pawiteh, kai koevah BAWIPA Cathut hah ka kângue na teh awh pawiteh, ahni teh Hezekiah ni, Judahnaw hoi Jerusalem hanlah, Jerusalem e thuengnae khoungroe hmalah, hmuenrasang koe na bawk awh han na ka tet ni teh hote khoungroe ka raphoe e hah ahni nahoehmaw telah a ti.
23 Why don't you accept a challenge from my master, the king of Assyria? He says, I'll give you two thousand horses, if you can find enough riders for them!
Hot patetlah, ka bawipa Assiria siangpahrang hoi lawkkamnae sak awh. Avan kâcui hane na hmawt thai pawiteh, marang 2,000 touh na poe han.
24 How could you defeat even a single officer in charge of the weakest of my master's men when you're trusting in Egypt for chariots and horsemen?
Bangtelamaw marang hoi marangransanaw kecu dawk Izipnaw koe na yuemnae na patue pawiteh, bawipa e sannaw thung dawk ka thoungca e kahrawikung buet touh heh na rungngang thai han vaw.
25 More than that—would I have come to attack this pace without the Lord's encouragement? It was the Lord himself who told me, ‘Go and attack this land and destroy it.’”
BAWIPA laipalah hoi maw na ram heh ka tuk teh ka raphoe awh vaw. BAWIPA ni kai koevah, hete ram tuk hanlah cet haw, be raphoe haw na ti pouh dawk doeh.
26 Eliakim, son of Hilkiah, together with Shebnah and Joah, said to the army general, “Please speak to us, your servants, in Aramaic, for we understand it. Don't speak to us in Hebrew while the people on the wall are listening.”
Hilkiah capa Eliakim hoi Shebna hoi Joab ni Rabshakeh koevah pahren lahoi na sannaw hah, Aramaih lawk hoi ka pato awh toe. Bangkongtetpawiteh, hot teh ka thai awh ngoun. khopui kalupnae thung kaawmnaw a thai nahanlah Hebru lawk hoi na pato hanh lawih telah ati awh.
27 But the army general replied, “Did my master only send me to say these things to your master and to you, and not to the people sitting on the wall? They too, just like you, are going to have to eat their own excrement and drink their own urine!”
Hatei, Rabshakeh ni a hni koe, ka bawipa ni na bawipa koe nangmouh koe dueng maw, hete lawk dei hanelah, na patoun vaw. Rapan van ka tahung e amae payungpaei ka cat ka net naw koe maw na patoun vaw telah a ti.
28 Then the army general shouted out in Hebrew, “Listen to this from the great king, the king of Assyria!
Rabshakeh teh a kangdue teh, Hebru lawk hoi kacaipounglah a hram teh, ka lentoe Assiria siangpahrang lawk hah ngai awh haw.
29 This is what the king says: Don't let Hezekiah trick you! He can't save you from me!
Siangpahrang ni telah a dei. Hezekiah ka dum e lah awm hanh awh. Bangkongtetpawiteh ama ni, a kut dawk hoi na rungngang thai mahoeh.
30 Don't believe Hezekiah when he tells you to trust in the Lord, saying, ‘I'm certain the Lord will save us. This city will never fall into the hands of the king of Assyria.’
Hezekiah ni, BAWIPA ni na rungngang roeroe vaiteh hete khopui heh Assiria siangpahrang kut dawk poe lah awm mahoeh telah BAWIPA hah kângue awh hanh naseh.
31 Don't listen to Hezekiah. This is what the king says: Make a peace treaty with me and surrender to me. That way everyone will eat from their own vine and their own fig tree, and drink water from their own well!
Hezekiah lawk hah yuem hanh awh. Assiria siangpahrang ni hettelah a dei. Kai koe roumnae sak awh nateh hi tho awh. Na ram patetlah cakang hoi misur e ram, vaiyei hoi misur takha,
32 I will come and take you to a land that's like your own, a land of grain and new wine, a land of bread and vineyards, a land of olive trees and honey. Then you will live and not die. But don't listen to Hezekiah, for he's tricking you when he says, ‘The Lord will deliver us.’
Olive hoi khoitui ram, dout laipalah hringnae ram, koe na ceikhai hoehroukrak teh tami pueng ni mae misurkung dawk hoi a paw cat awh nateh tami pueng ni, mae thaibunglung dawk e a paw rip ca vaiteh tami pueng ni mae tuikhu tui rip net awh. Hezekiah ni BAWIPA ni na rungngang awh han doeh telah na ka pasawt nakunghai tang awh hanh loe.
33 Have any of the gods of any nation ever saved their land from the power of the king of Assyria?
Miphun tangkuem e cathutnaw ni, a ram teh Assiria siangpahrang koehoi ouk na rangngang awh boimaw.
34 Where were the gods of Hamath and Arpad? Where were the gods of Sepharvaim, Hena, and Ivvah? Were they able to save Samaria from me?
Hamath hoi Arpad cathutnaw hah namaw koung ao awh vaw. Sepharvaim hoi Hena hoi Ivvah naw e cathutnaw hai namaw koung ao awh. Samaria hah kai koehoi na rungngang thai awh maw.
35 Which one of all the gods of these countries has saved their land from me? How then could the Lord save Jerusalem from me?”
Ram tangkuem cathutnaw pueng thung dawk hoi apimaw kai koehoi ka rungngang thai. BAWIPA ni Jerusalem kho heh kai koehoi a rungngang han taya telah a ti.
36 But the people remained silent and didn't say anything, for Hezekiah had given the order, “Don't answer him.”
Ahnimanaw teh duem ao awh teh kam touh boehai pathung awh hoeh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, siangpahrang ni kâlawk poe e patetlah ahnimanaw teh pathung awh hanh loe atipouh.
37 Then Eliakim, son of Hilkiah, the palace manager, Shebna the scribe, and Joah, son of Asaph, the record-keeper, went to Hezekiah with their clothes torn, and they told him what the Assyrian army general had said.
Hahoi teh, siangpahrang imthung kahrawikung Hilkiah capa Eliakim hoi cakathutkung Shebna hoi lairui kathutkung Asaph capa Joab hah a phi awh e khohna a kâmahrawksak teh, Hezekiah koevah a cei awh teh, Rabshakeh ni a dei e lawk hah a dei pouh awh.
