2 Kings 18
1 NOW it came to pass in the third year of Hoshea son of Elah king of Israel, that Hezekiah the son of Ahaz king of Judah began to reign.
Isarel siangpahrang Elah capa Hosi a bawinae kum pâthum navah, Judah siangpahrang Ahaz capa Hezekiah teh siangpahrang lah ao.
2 Twenty and five years old was he when he began to reign; and he reigned twenty and nine years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name also was Abi, the daughter of Zachariah.
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 And he did that which was right in the sight of the Lord, according to all that David his father did.
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, and brake the images, and cut down the groves, and brake in pieces the brasen serpent that Moses had made: for unto those days the children of Israel did burn incense to it: and he called it 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 He trusted in the Lord God of Israel; so that after him was none like him among all the kings of Judah, nor any that were before 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 For he clave to the Lord, and departed not from following him, but kept his commandments, which the Lord commanded 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 And the Lord was with him; and he prospered whithersoever he went forth: and he rebelled against the king of Assyria, and served him not.
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 smote the Philistines, even unto Gaza, and the borders thereof, from the tower of the watchmen to the fenced city.
Filistinnaw hoiyah, Gaza totouh kacakpounge khopuinaw hoi ramvengimnaw hah koung a tâ awh.
9 And it came to pass in the fourth year of king Hezekiah, which was the seventh year of Hoshea son of Elah king of Israel, that Shalmaneser king of Assyria came up against Samaria, and besieged 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 And at the end of three years they took it: even in the sixth year of Hezekiah, that is the ninth year of Hoshea king of Israel, Samaria was taken.
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 And the king of Assyria did carry away Israel unto Assyria, and put them in Halah and in Habor by the river of Gozan, and in the cities 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 Because they obeyed not the voice of the Lord their God, but transgressed his covenant, and all that Moses the servant of the Lord commanded, and would not hear them, nor do them.
Assiria siangpahrang ni Isarelnaw hah, Assiria ram koung a hrawi teh, Gozan palang teng, Medes khopui Halah, Habor naw dawkvah a ta.
13 Now in the fourteenth year of king Hezekiah did Sennacherib king of Assyria come up against all the fenced cities of Judah, and took them.
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 And Hezekiah king of Judah sent to the king of Assyria to Lachish, saying, I have offended; return from me: that which thou puttest on me will I bear. And the king of Assyria appointed unto Hezekiah king of Judah 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 And Hezekiah gave him all the silver that was found in the house of the Lord, and in the treasures of the king’s house.
Hahoi teh, Hezekiah ni, BAWIPA im hoi siangpahrang im a ta awh e tangka hoi suinaw pueng a poe.
16 At that time did Hezekiah cut off the gold from the doors of the temple of the Lord, and from the pillars which Hezekiah king of Judah had overlaid, and gave it 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 And the king of Assyria sent Tartan and Rabsaris and Rab-shakeh from Lachish to king Hezekiah with a great host against Jerusalem. And they went up and came to Jerusalem. And when they were come up, they came and stood by the conduit of the upper pool, which is in the highway of the fuller’s field.
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 And when they had called to the king, there came out to them Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, which was over the household, and Shebna the scribe, and Joah the son of Asaph the recorder.
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 And Rab-shakeh said unto them, Speak ye now to Hezekiah, Thus saith the great king, the king of Assyria, What confidence is this wherein thou trustest?
Rabshakeh ni, Hezekiah koevah dei pouh awh, siangpahrang ka lentoe Assiria siangpahrang ni, telah a dei, apimaw na kângue teh na lungmawngkhai vaw.
20 Thou sayest, (but they are but vain words, ) I have counsel and strength for the war. Now on whom dost thou trust, that thou rebellest 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, behold, thou trustest upon the staff of this bruised reed, even upon Egypt, on which if a man lean, it will go into his hand, and pierce it: so is Pharaoh king of Egypt unto all that trust on 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 But if ye say unto me, We trust in the Lord our God: is not that he, whose high places and whose altars Hezekiah hath taken away, and hath said to Judah and Jerusalem, Ye shall worship before 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 Now therefore, I pray thee, give pledges to my lord the king of Assyria, and I will deliver thee two thousand horses, if thou be able on thy part to set riders upon 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 then wilt thou turn away the face of one captain of the least of my master’s servants, and put thy trust on Egypt for chariots and for 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 Am I now come up without the Lord against this place to destroy it? The Lord said to me, Go up against 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 Then said Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, and Shebna, and Joah, unto Rab-shakeh, Speak, I pray thee, to thy servants in the Syrian language; for we understand it: and talk not with us in the Jews’ language in the ears of the people that are on the wall.
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 Rab-shakeh said unto them, Hath my master sent me to thy master, and to thee, to speak these words? hath he not sent me to the men which sit on the wall, that they may eat their own dung, and drink their own piss with you?
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 Rab-shakeh stood and cried with a loud voice in the Jews’ language, and spake, saying, Hear the word of 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 Thus saith the king, Let not Hezekiah deceive you: for he shall not be able to deliver you out of his hand:
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 Neither let Hezekiah make you trust in the Lord, saying, The Lord will surely deliver us, and this city shall not be delivered into the hand 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 Hearken not to Hezekiah: for thus saith the king of Assyria, Make an agreement with me by a present, and come out to me, and then eat ye every man of his own vine, and every one of his fig tree, and drink ye every one the waters of his cistern:
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 Until I come and take you away to a land like your own land, a land of corn and wine, a land of bread and vineyards, a land of oil olive and of honey, that ye may live, and not die: and hearken not unto Hezekiah, when he persuadeth you, saying, 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 Hath any of the gods of the nations delivered at all his land out of the hand of the king of Assyria?
Miphun tangkuem e cathutnaw ni, a ram teh Assiria siangpahrang koehoi ouk na rangngang awh boimaw.
34 Where are the gods of Hamath, and of Arpad? where are the gods of Sepharvaim, Hena, and Ivah? have they delivered Samaria out of mine hand?
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 Who are they among all the gods of the countries, that have delivered their country out of mine hand, that the Lord should deliver Jerusalem out of mine hand?
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 held their peace, and answered him not a word: for the king’s commandment was, saying, Answer him not.
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 came Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, which was over the household, and Shebna the scribe, and Joah the son of Asaph the recorder, to Hezekiah with their clothes rent, and told him the words of Rab-shakeh.
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.
