< 2 Kings 19 >

1 When Hezekiah heard it, he tore his clothes, put on sackcloth, and went into the Lord's Temple.
Hezekiah lengpan hiche thulhutna chu ajahdoh phat’in, apon abot-eh in, khaodip pon akisillin Pakai houin na alut tan ahi.
2 He sent Eliakim the palace manager, Shebna, the scribe, and the leading priests, all wearing sackcloth, to see the prophet Isaiah, son of Amoz.
Hichun aman leng inpi vaipo Eliakim, thutanna lekhasun Shebna, thempu lamkai ho abon'un khaodip akisillun Amoz chapa themgao Isaiah kom’ah asollin ahi.
3 They told him, “This is what Hezekiah says: Today is a day of trouble, punishment. It's like when babies arrive at the entrance to the birth canal but there's no strength to deliver them.
Hichehi Hezekiah lengpan asei ahi, “Tunihi lungkham nikho, kisuhjumna le eikinoise na nikho ahi. Hichehi naosen sohlhago’a, ahinla anun nao aso-lhahsah nading atha neijou lou tobang ahi.
4 Maybe the Lord your God, hearing the message the army commander delivered on behalf of his master, the king of Assyria—a message sent to insult the living God—will punish him for his words. Please say a prayer for the remnant of us who still survive.”
Ahinlah Assyria lengpan a sepai lamkai pipuipa ahinsol’a hingjing Pathen chouna a athusei jouse chu Pakai na Pathen in hiche engkalna kiseiho hi ngai hen chuleh ahing nalai keiho chengse dingin Pathen henga hung tao teijin,” ati.
5 After Hezekiah's officials delivered his message to Isaiah,
Hezekiah noija natong lamkaihon lengpa thuthot Isaiah kom alhut phat’un,
6 Isaiah replied to them, “Tell your master, This is what the Lord says: Don't be frightened by the words that you have heard, the words used by the servants of the king of Assyria to blaspheme me.
Themgaopa chun hitin adonbut in ahi, “NaPakaipau kom’a chun hitin seipeh un, Pakaiyin hitin aseije, Assyria lengpan keidouna thuchavei tah aseiho jeh hin lungkham hihen
7 Look, I'm going to scare him—he'll hear a rumor, and he'll have to return to his own country. When he's there I'll have him killed by the sword.”
Vetan keimatah in ama douna pan kalah ding ahi, chutengleh hiche lengpa hin thulamleng khat ajah ding ainlam’a kile ding chuteng keiman kathading ahitai,” ati.
8 The Assyrian army commander left and went back to join the king of Assyria, having heard the king had left Lachish and was attacking Libnah.
Hichekah lah chun, Assyria sepai gal lamkai pipu chun Jerusalem akonin Assyria lengpa kom’a kihoutoh dingin agachen ahile, lengpa chu Lachish dalhan Libnah khopi sat dinga ana kondoh in ahi.
9 Sennacherib had received a message about Tirhakah, king of Ethiopia, that said, “Watch out! He has set out to attack you.” So Sennacherib sent messengers again to Hezekiah, saying,
Hiche joutah chun Ethopia lengpa Tirhakah in asepaite ahin lamkaijin ama sat dingin ahung kon’e tithu ajah phat’in, amachu toh kisatto dinga ache masangin Jerusalem a um Hezekiah chu hiti hin thu athot in,
10 “Tell Hezekiah, king of Judah: ‘Don't let your God, the one you're trusting in, fool you by saying that Jerusalem won't fall into the hands of the king of Assyria.
“Hiche thuhi Judah lengpa Hezekiah a ding ahi, Natahsantah na Pathen chun Assyria lengpan Jerusalem hi alah joulou ding ahi atin, na Pathen chu kilhep lhah sah hihin.
11 Look! You've heard what the kings of Assyria have done to all the countries they've invaded— they destroyed them completely! Do you really think you'll be saved?
Assyria lenghon agot gam leiset ipi alojiu vem, nangin hoitah’a nahe in ahi. Koi hileh adoupen pen hochu asuhchip jeng’u ahi. Achutile nang chun ichom nahideh em?
12 Did the gods of the nations my forefathers destroyed save them—the gods of Gozan, Haran, Rezeph, and the people of Eden who lived in Telassar?
Namdang ho Gozan khopi, Haran khopi, Rezeph khopi le Telassar munna um Eden khopi mite ho chu, a pathen ho uvin ahuhdoh jou uvem? Kei masanga lenghon ana suhgam’u hilou ham?
13 Where today is the king of Hamath, the king of Arpad, the king of the city of Sepharvaim, the king of Hena, or the king of Ivvah?”
Arpad khopi leng Hamath khopi chunga ipi soh em? Ivvah, Hena, Sepharvaim lengho iti gam’ah hiu hitam?” tin aseiyin ahi.
14 Hezekiah received the letter from the messengers and read it. Then he went up to the Lord's Temple and opened it out before the Lord.
Solle ho kona hiche thuthot hi Hezekiah in amuphat’in alan asimtai, Pakai houin na achen Pakai angah aphajallin,
15 Hezekiah prayed to the Lord, saying, “Lord, God of Israel, you who live above the cherubim, you alone are God over all the kingdoms of the earth, you are Creator of heaven and earth.
Pakai ang’a Hezekiah hitin ataovin, “Vo Vantil lhaving nei Cherubim te kikah a laltounna a tou, Pakai, Israel Pathen, vannoi leiset a lenggam jouse chung’a Pathen nangbou nahi. Nangbouvin van leh leiset nasem ahi.
16 Please listen with your ears, Lord, and hear; open your eyes, Lord, and see. Listen to the message that Sennacherib has sent to insult the living God.
Vo Pakai, kachung uva thilsoh hohi ven, chule Sennacherib in hingjing Pathen douna athuseiho pihi ngaitem’in.
17 Yes, it's true, Lord, that the Assyrian kings have destroyed these nations and their lands.
Pakai, Assyria lenghon namtin vaipi asuhgam’a, agamsung jouseu asuhbei gam’u ahi.
18 They have thrown their gods into the fire because they are not really gods—they are just the work of human hands, made of wood and stone so they could destroy them.
Chule amahon hiche namdang hon ahou’u apathen houjeng jong meiya alelut’a ahal gamu ahitai. Ahichu Assyriaten a pathen houchu asuhset uva agovam thei mong’u ahinai, ajeh chu amaho chu mihem khut’a kisem, songle thing’a kisemthu doi ho chu ahibouvui.
19 Now, Lord our God, please save us from him, in order that all the kingdoms of the earth may know that only you, Lord, are God.”
Tuhin, O Pakai Pathen, Assyria mite thaneina akonin neihuhdoh un, chutileh vannoi leiset a lenggam ho jousen nangma bou hi Pakai Pathen nahi ahetdiu ahi,” ati.
20 Then Isaiah, son of Amoz, sent a message to Hezekiah, saying, “This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: I have heard your prayer about Sennacherib, king of Assyria.
Hiche jouchun Amoz chapa Isaiah in Hezekiah chu thu athot’in, “Hiche hi Pakai Israel Pathen chun asei ahi. Assyria lengpa Sennacherib chungchang’a nataona kajah peh tai.
21 This is the word the Lord condemning him: The virgin daughter of Zion scorns you and mocks you; the daughter of Jerusalem shakes her head as you run away.
Chule Pakaiyin ama dounan hiti hin thu aseije, “Nungah theng Zion chanu chun nangma navetda in nahin nuisat’in ahi. Jerusalem chanu chun nangma pum chun isahlou tah’in alu nahin hih khum’e,
22 Who have you been insulting and ridiculing? Who did you raise your voice against? Who did you look at with so proud eyes? It was against the Holy One of Israel!
Koiham nangin noise tah’a naphin phin chu, koidouna thu nasap ham? Koiham nangin changmel’a navet chu? Hiche Israel mithengte ahiuve!
23 By your servants you have mocked the Lord. You said: ‘With my many chariots I have ascended to the high mountains, to the farthest peaks of Lebanon. I have chopped down its tallest cedars, the best of its cypress trees. I have reached its most distant outposts, its deepest forests.
Nathupole’a pangho’a konin nangman Pakai chu nachouvin, nangin na sakol kangtalaiho mangchan molsangtah tah ho kajouve natin, gamla tah’a um Lebanon chungvum’a um Cedar thingsangpen leh Cyprus thing hoipen jong kasat lhai natin, agamlapen’a aningkoi hojong kaphajou vin, agamsung agilpen jong kakholdoh’in ahi nati.
24 I have dug wells and drunk water in foreign lands. With the soles of my feet I dried up all the rivers in Egypt.’”
Nam chom ho gamsunga jong twikul kalaidoh’in chuleh atwijong kadonji nati, kakeng teni jong Egypt vadung jouse kachotkang hel’e nati.
25 The Lord replies, “Haven't you heard? I decided it long ago; I planned it in the olden days. Now I am making sure it happens—that you are to knock down fortified towns into piles of rubble.
Ahinlah nangin najah khahlou lai ham? Hiche hi sotna ahitan, sotna kanagon pat ahitai, tuahi kahinso dohsah ding ahi, keiman kul kigenkhum khopi ho nasuhchipna dingleh nasuhgoihel na dinga kanagon ahi.
26 Their people, powerless, are terrified and humiliated. They're like plants in a field, like soft green shoots, like grass that sprouts on rooftop—scorched before it can even grow.
Hijeh a chu amiteho uvin tha anei joulou’u chuleh amahohi kichauva lungboija ahitauve. Amahohi hampa banga thaneijoulou ahiuvin, hampa hung poudohtil lhonal jing thei tobang ahiuve. Amahohi inchunga hampa hungpoudoh til tobang ahin, phat masanga nisan akah lihji tobang ahiuve.
27 But I know you very well—where you live, when you come in, when you leave, and your furious anger against me.
Ahinlah ken nangma hoiya kona nahung, hoilanga nache chuleh hoiya naum kahesoh keiye, chuleh nangin ichangeiya keima douna-a nachon jeng ham tijong kahei.
28 Because of your furious anger against me, and because I know how you disrespect me, I'm going to put my hook in your nose and my bit in your mouth, and I will force you to return the same way you came.”
Chule hitia hi keima douna a nachelhah jing chujongleh neidou jing naho keima tah’in kajah ahin, keiman nanahkuiya nahkhao kabupeh’a, nanephu tenia kamdal kakoipeh ding nahi, chutengleh nahung kona nalampi mama a chu nakinung le kit ding ahi,” ati.
29 “Hezekiah, this will be a sign to prove this is true: This year you'll eat what grows by itself. The second year you'll eat what grows from that. But in the third year you'll sow and reap, you'll plant vineyards and eat their fruit.
Hichun Isaiah in Hezekiah kom’ah, “Kathusei hi adih’e ti nahetna ding phatah chu hichehi hiding ahi, Tukum sunga hi achamcham'a hung kehdoh muchi gabou naneh diu ahi, akumkit leh hichea kon mama a hung gadoh a chu naneh kit dingu ahi. Ahin kum thum changphat vangleh muchi natua kona chu naki-at ding ahin chuleh lengpilei jong nabol’a aga nanehding ahitai.
30 The remnant that's left of Judah will revive again, sending roots below and bearing fruit above.
Chuleh nangle, Judah gamsunga amoh chengse, athimoh ahingdoh chasun chun ajung’u akhothuh chehdiu, chule hung khangtou cheh uva hung kisepdoh ding ahiuve.
31 For a remnant will come out of Jerusalem, and survivors will come from Mount Zion. The intense determination of the Lord will make sure this happens.
Ajeh chu Jerusalem ma kona kamite amoh changes leh Zion molla kona ahingdoh ho chengse chutoh hung kithe jalding ahi. Hatchungnung Pakaiyin amikhotona ‘a pan alahna chu ahin tahdoh ding ahi,” ati.
32 This is what the Lord says about the king of Assyria: He shall not enter this city or shoot an arrow at it. He shall not advance towards it with a shield, or build a siege ramp against it.
Assyria lengpa chungchanga Pakai thusei chu hichehi ahi, “Asepaiteu chu Jerusalem’a lutlou diu ahi, amahon thal changkhat jong ahin kaplut jouloudiu ahi. Amahon a-ompho’u puma kelkot pam’a hi kijot loudiu chujongleh khopi umna dinga leipel aset lou dingu ahi.
33 He shall return the same way he came, and he shall not enter this city, says the Lord.
Lengpa chun ahungna lampi’a hunglut louding ahi,” tin Pakaiyin aseje.
34 I will defend this city and save it, for my own sake and for the sake of my servant David.”
“Kamin loupina dingleh kasohpa David khohsahna jal’in keiman hiche khopi hi kavenbit’a kahuhdoh ding ahi,” ati.
35 That night the angel of the Lord went to the Assyrian camp and killed 185,000. When the survivors woke up in the morning, they were surrounded by dead bodies.
Hiche jan chun Pakai vantil khat Assyriate ngahmun ah achen Assyriate sepai sangsom le sang get le ja nga hochu aga that tan ahi. Ahing doh Assyriate chu jingkah’a agah thodoh uleh mithilong chu muntin’ah amu tauvin ahi.
36 Sennacherib, king of Assyria, gave up and left. He returned home to Nineveh and stayed there.
Assyria lengpa Sennacherib chun ngahmun ahin dalhan, ama gamsunga ahung kiletan ahi. Ama Nineveh khopia ainlam ajonnin hichea chun aumtan ahi.
37 While he was worshiping in the temple of his god Nisroch, his sons Adrammelech and Sharezer killed him with the sword and then ran away to the land of Ararat. His son Esar-haddon succeeded him as king.
Nikhat hi semthu pathen Nisroch chu ahouin’a aga hou pettah’in, achateni Adrammelech leh Sharezer chun chemjam’in athat lhontan ahi. Amani chu Ararat gamlang’ah ajam lhonin acha dangkhat Esarhaddon kitipa chun Assyria lengmun ahinlo tan ahi.
