< Isaiah 37 >

1 It happened, when king Hezekiah heard it, that he tore his clothes, covered himself with sackcloth, and went into Jehovah's house.
Hezekiah siangpahrang ni hote lawk hah a thai toteh, amae angki a phi teh, buri a kâkhu teh, BAWIPA e im thung a kâen.
2 He sent Eliakim, who was over the household, and Shebna the scribe, and the elders of the priests, covered with sackcloth, to Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amoz.
Hat toteh, buri ka kâkhu e im karingkung Eliakim, cakathutkung Shebna, hoi kacue e vaihmanaw hah Amoz capa profet Isaiah koe a patoun.
3 They said to him, "Thus says Hezekiah, 'This day is a day of trouble, and of rebuke, and of rejection; for the children have come to the birth, and there is no strength to bring forth.
Ahnimouh ni, Hezekiah siangpahrang ni hettelah a dei, sahnin teh runae, yuenae, hoi yeiraiponae hnin doeh. Camo khe tue a pha navah, khe thai nahane tha awm hoeh.
4 It may be Jehovah your God will hear the words of Rabshakeh, whom the king of Assyria his master has sent to defy the living God, and will rebuke the words which Jehovah your God has heard. Therefore lift up your prayer for the remnant that is left.'"
Na BAWIPA kahring Cathut dudam hanelah, ahnimae bawi lah kaawm e Assyria siangpahrang ni a patoun e Rabshakeh e lawk hah Jehovah na Cathut ni thai naseh. Na Cathut Jehovah ni a thai e lawk patetlah yue na lawiseh. Nang ni hai kacawiraenaw hanelah patuen ratoum loe ati pouh.
5 So the servants of king Hezekiah came to Isaiah.
Hezekiah e a sannaw teh Isaiah koe a pha awh toteh,
6 Isaiah said to them, "Tell your master, 'Thus says Jehovah, "Do not be afraid of the words that you have heard, with which the servants of the king of Assyria have blasphemed me.
Isaiah ni, nangmae na bawipa koe hettelah dei pouh awh. BAWIPA ni Assyria siangpahrang e sannaw ni kai hah na dudam awh teh, na thai e lawknaw dawkvah taket hanh.
7 Look, I will put a spirit in him and he will hear news, and will return to his own land. I will cause him to fall by the sword in his own land."'"
Kai ni ahni thung muitha buet touh ka thum pouh vaiteh, ahni ni kamthang buet touh a thai toteh, amamae ram koelah bout a ban han. Hathnukkhu, a ram thung e tahloi hoi ka due sak han ati telah a dei.
8 So Rabshakeh returned, and found the king of Assyria warring against Libnah, for he had heard that he was departed from Lachish.
Hathnukkhu Assyria siangpahrang teh Lakhish kho hoi a tâco toe tie Rabshakeh ni a thai teh a ban navah, siangpahrang ni Libnah kho a tuk e hah a hmu.
9 He heard news concerning Tirhakah king of Ethiopia, "He has come out to fight against you." When he heard it, he returned and sent messengers to Hezekiah, saying,
Atuvah Kush siangpahrang Tirhakah hoi kâkuen lah, ahni teh nang tuk hanelah a tho toe telah kamthang a thai. Hottelah kamthang a thai toteh, Hezekiah siangpahrang koe patounenaw a patoun teh,
10 "Thus you shall speak to Hezekiah king of Judah, saying, 'Do not let your God in whom you trust deceive you, saying, "Jerusalem won't be given into the hand of the king of Assyria."
nangmouh ni Judah siangpahrang Hezekiah koe hettelah na dei awh han. Jerusalem kho teh Assyria kut dawk phat mahoeh telah na kâuep e Cathut ni na dum hanh naseh.
11 Look, you have heard what the kings of Assyria have done to all lands, by destroying them utterly. Shall you be delivered?
Khenhaw! Assyria siangpahrangnaw ni khoram tangkuem a raphoe awh teh, hotnaw koe a sak e naw hah na thai toe. Ahni teh ka hlout na ou.
12 Have the gods of the nations delivered them, which my fathers have destroyed, Gozan, Haran, Rezeph, and the people of Eden who were in Telassar?
Ka mintoenaw ni a raphoe e miphun, Gozan, Haran, Rezeph, Telassar kho kaawm e Eden miphunnaw hah ahnimae cathutnaw ni a rungngang awh maw.
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 siangpahrang, Arpad siangpahrang, Sepharvaim kho e siangpahrang, Hena siangpahrang, Ivvah siangpahrang tinaw teh nâne ao awh telah lawk a thui.
14 Hezekiah received the letter from the hand of the messengers and read it. Then Hezekiah went up to Jehovah's house, and spread it before Jehovah.
Hezekiah siangpahrang ni patounenaw kut dawk hoi ca hah a la teh a touk. Hahoi, BAWIPA e im dawk a cei teh, BAWIPA hmalah ca hah a kadai.
15 Hezekiah prayed to Jehovah, saying,
Hatnavah, Hezekiah siangpahrang teh BAWIPA koe a ratoum.
16 "Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel, who is enthroned among the cherubim, you are the God, even you alone, of all the kingdoms of the earth. You have made heaven and earth.
Cherubim e lathueng vah ka tahung e Isarelnaw e Cathut, ransahu BAWIPA Cathut, nang teh talai uknaeram pueng lathueng vah buet touh dueng e Cathut lah na o. Nang ni kalvan hoi talai na sak.
17 Turn your ear, Jehovah, and hear. Open your eyes, Jehovah, and look. Hear all of the words of Sennacherib, who has sent to defy the living God.
Oe BAWIPA, na hnâpakeng nateh na thai pouh haw. Oe BAWIPA, na mit padai nateh khenhaw! Sennacherib siangpahrang ni kahring Cathut dudam hanelah a patoun teh a dei sak e lawknaw hah thai haw.
18 Truly, Jehovah, the kings of Assyria have destroyed all the countries and their land,
Oe BAWIPA, Assyria siangpahrangnaw ni miphunnaw hoi amamae ram naw hah kingkadi lah a ta teh,
19 and have cast their gods into the fire; for they were no gods, but the work of men's hands, wood and stone; therefore they have destroyed them.
ahnimae cathutnaw hai hmai dawk a phum pouh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, hotnaw teh cathut nahoeh. Tami e kut hoi sak e thing hoi talung naw doeh.
20 Now therefore, Jehovah our God, save us from his hand, that all the kingdoms of the earth may know that you are Jehovah, even you only."
Oe kaimae Cathut Jehovah, nang dueng doeh Cathut lah na kaawm tie hah, talai uknaeram pueng ni a panue awh nahanelah, hote siangpahrang kut dawk hoi, kaimanaw hah a tu na rungngang haw telah a ratoum.
21 Then Isaiah the son of Amoz sent to Hezekiah, saying, "Thus says Jehovah, the God of Israel, 'Because you have prayed to me against Sennacherib king of Assyria,
Hattoteh Amos capa Isaiah ni Hezekiah koe a patoun teh, Isarelnaw e Cathut Jehovah ni hettelah a dei. Nang ni Assyria siangpahrang Sennacherib hoi kâkuen lah kai koe na ratoum toe.
22 this is the word which Jehovah has spoken concerning him. The virgin daughter of Zion has despised you and ridiculed you. The daughter of Jerusalem has shaken her head at you.
Hote siangpahrang hoi kâkuen lah Cathut ni hete lawk hah a dei. Tanglakacuem Zion canu ni nang hah na noutna hoeh teh na dudam toe. Jerusalem tangla ni na hnuk lahoi a lû a kahek toe.
23 Whom have you defied and blasphemed? Against whom have you exalted your voice and lifted up your eyes on high? Against the Holy One of Israel.
Nang ni apimouh na dudam teh na pacekpahlek vaw. Nang ni apimouh na hram sin teh, na minhmai na moung sin. Isarelnaw e Kathounge koe hottelah na sak awh toe.
24 By your messengers you have taunted Jehovah, and have said, "With the multitude of my chariots I have come up to the height of the mountains, to the innermost parts of Lebanon. I will cut down its tall cedars and its choice fir trees. I will enter into its farthest height, the forest of its fruitful field.
Na sannaw e kut hoi Cathut hah na dudam awh teh, kai teh ka tawn e ranglengnaw hoi monsom vah thoseh, Lebanon mon a poutnae koe thoseh, ka luen toe. Hawvah ka rasang poung e sidarkungnaw hoi kahawihloe e hmaicakungnaw hah ka tâtueng toe. A rasangpoungnae koe thoseh, a paw a thawnnae ratu koe thoseh ka kâen toe.
25 I have dug and drunk water, and with the sole of my feet I will dry up all the rivers of Egypt."
Tuikhu ka tai teh tui ka nei toe. Ka khoktabei hoiyah Izip ram e palang kaawm e pueng kahak sak toe telah na dei.
26 Have you not heard how I have done it long ago, and formed it in ancient times? Now I have brought it to pass, that it should be yours to destroy fortified cities, turning them into ruinous heaps.
Ayan hoi hetnaw heh kai ni sut ka pouk tangcoung toe tie na thai boihoeh maw. Nang ni kacakpounge kho rapannaw hah na raphoe teh, songnawng kâpawppawm e lah na o sak nahanelah, atu ka sin e naw hah ayan hoi sut ka hmoun toe.
27 Therefore their inhabitants had little power. They were dismayed and confounded. They were like the grass of the field, and like the green herb, like the grass on the rooftops when it is scorched by the east wind.
Atha ka baw e hote khocanaw teh, a lungpout laihoi yeirai a phu awh teh, kahrawng e phonaw patetlah thoseh, a len hoehnahlan tang kamyai e lemphu e phokung patetlah thoseh, ao awh.
28 But I know your sitting down, your going out, your coming in, and your raging against me.
Na tahungnae, na ceinae, na thonae, na kâennae, na tâconae, koe na lungkhueknae naw hah ka panue.
29 Because of your raging against me, and because your arrogance has come up into my ears, therefore I will put my hook in your nose and my bridle in your lips, and I will turn you back by the way by which you came.
Nang teh kai koe na lungkhuek dawk thoseh, namahoima na kâuepnae hah ka hnâ koe a tho dawk thoseh, kai sumhradang teh na hnawng dawkvah thoseh, kaie pahni moumnae teh na pahni dawkvah thoseh, ka mawp vaiteh, na thonae lam dawk hoi na ban sak han.
30 This shall be the sign to you. You will eat this year that which grows of itself, and in the second year that which springs from the same; and in the third year sow and reap and plant vineyards, and eat their fruit.
Nang hanelah mitnout teh hettelah ao. Takum dawkvah amahmawk ka paw e naw thoseh, a kum pahni vah hot dawk hoi ka pâw e naw hai thoseh na ca han. A kum pâthum vah, kahei nateh a awh. Misurnaw hah patue awh nateh, a paw hah cat awh.
31 The remnant that is escaped of the house of Judah will again take root downward, and bear fruit upward.
Kacawie Judahnaw teh, a tangpha bout payang awh vaiteh, asawi lah a pâw a paw awh han.
32 For out of Jerusalem a remnant will go forth, and survivors will escape from Mount Zion. The zeal of Jehovah of hosts will perform this.'
Bangkongtetpawiteh, kacawie naw teh Jerusalem kho hoi thoseh, kahlout e naw teh Zion mon dawk hoi thoseh, a tâco awh han. Cathut e a lungthonae teh hetenaw hah a sak han.
33 Therefore thus says Jehovah concerning the king of Assyria, 'He will not come to this city, nor shoot an arrow there, neither will he come before it with shield, nor cast up a mound against it.
Hatdawkvah, Cathut ni Assyria siangpahrang hoi kâkuen lah hettelah a dei. Ahni teh hete kho dawk kâen mahoeh. Hete hmuen koe pala hai ka mahoeh. Bahling hoi hete kho hai hnai mahoeh. Hete kho avanglah na tungpup awh mahoeh.
34 By the way that he came, by the same he shall return, and he shall not come to this city,' says Jehovah.
Hete kho koe a thonae lam dawk hoi a ban han. Hete kho thung kâen mahoeh. Cathut ni a dei e teh,
35 'For I will defend this city to save it, for my own sake, and for my servant David's sake.'"
Kai ni hete ka minhmai hoi ka san Devit e minhmai hah ka khet teh, hete kho rungngang hanelah, hete kho hah ka ring han, telah a ti.
36 The angel of Jehovah went out and struck one hundred and eighty-five thousand men in the camp of the Assyrians. When men arose early in the morning, look, these were all dead bodies.
Hat toteh, BAWIPA e kalvantami a tâco teh Assyria ransahu thung e tami 185,000 touh a thei. Amom toteh a thaw awh navah, ahnimanaw teh ro lah ao awh.
37 So Sennacherib king of Assyria departed, went away, returned to Nineveh, and stayed there.
Assyria siangpahrang Sennacherib hai a tâco a ban teh, Nineveh kho dawkvah ao.
38 It happened, as he was worshipping in the house of Nisroch his god, that Adrammelech and Sharezer his sons struck him with the sword; and they escaped into the land of Ararat. Esarhaddon his son reigned in his place.
Hathnukkhu, ahni teh, amae cathut Nisroch Bawkim dawk a bawk lahun nah, ahnie capa Adrammelek hoi Sharezer tinaw ni tahloi hoi a thei awh. Hahoi teh, ahnimanaw teh Ararat mon lah a yawng awh. Hat toteh, capa Esarhaddon teh a na pa e hmuen dawk a tahung.
