< 2 Kings 19 >
1 And it came to pass, when King Hezekiah heard, that he rent his clothes, —and covered himself with sackcloth, and entered the house of Yahweh;
Manghai Hezekiah loh a yaak van neh a himbai te a phen. Tlamhni te a bai tih BOEIPA im la cet.
2 and sent Eliakim who was over the household, and Shebna the scribe, and the elders of the priests, covered with sackcloth, —unto Isaiah the prophet, son of Amoz;
Te phoeiah im aka hung Eliakim, cadaek Shebna, tlamhni aka bai khosoih ham rhoek te Amoz capa tonghma Isaiah taengla a tueih.
3 and they said unto him—Thus, saith Hezekiah, A day of trouble, and rebuke, and reviling, is this day, —for children are come to the birth, and, strength, is there none to bring forth!
Te phoeiah Isaiah te, “Hezekiah loh he ni a. thui. Tahae khohnin he tah citcai neh, toelthamnah neh kokhahnah khohnin coeng ni. Camoe om ham a pha coeng dae a cun ham thadueng om pawh.
4 It may be that Yahweh thy God will hear all the words of Rab-shakeh, whom the king of Assyria his lord hath sent, to reproach a Living God, and will rebuke the words, which Yahweh thy God hath heard, —Wherefore lift thou up a prayer, for the remnant that remaineth.
Rabshakeh kah ol cungkuem te na Pathen BOEIPA loh a yaak khaming. Anih te a boei Assyria manghai loh aka hing Pathen veet hamla a tueih. Na Pathen BOEIPA loh a yaak bangla a ol soah a tluung bitni. Te dongah a meet la a hmuh rhoek ham mah thangthuinah khueh mai laeh,” a ti uh.
5 So the servants of King Hezekiah came unto Isaiah.
Manghai Hezekiah kah sal rhoek te khaw Isaiah taengla pawk uh tangloeng.
6 And Isaiah said unto them, Thus, shall ye, say, unto your lord, —Thus, saith Yahweh—Be not thou afraid, because of the words which thou hast heard, wherewith the servants of the king of Assyria have reviled, me:
Te vaengah amih te Isaiah loh, “Na boei rhoek te thui pah. BOEIPA loh he ni a. thui. Ol na yaak soah rhih uh boeh. Assyria manghai kah tueihyoeih rhoek loh kai n'hliphen uh.
7 Behold me! about to let go against him, a blast, and, when he heareth the report, then will he return to his own country, —and I will cause him to fall by the sword, in his own land.
Kai loh a khuiah mueihla ka paek tih olthang a yaak coeng ke. Te dongah amah kho la mael bitni. Anih te amah kho ah cunghang dongla ka cungku sak ni,” a ti nah.
8 So Rab-shakeh returned, and found the king of Assyria warring against Libnah, —for he had heard that he had broken up from Lachish.
Lakhish lamkah a caeh te a yaak vaengah Rabshakeh khaw nong tih Assyria manghai loh Libnah a vathoh thil te a hmuh.
9 And when he heard say of Tirhakah, king of Ethiopia, saying, Lo! he hath come forth to fight with thee, —then he again sent messengers unto Hezekiah, saying—
Kusah manghai Tirhakah kawng a yaak vaengah khaw, “Nang vathoh thil ham ha pawk coeng ke,” a ti nah. Te dongah mael tih Hezekiah taengla puencawn a tueih.
10 Thus, shall ye, speak, unto Hezekiah king of Judah, saying—Let not thy God in whom thou art trusting beguile thee, saying, —Jerusalem shall not be given over, into the hand of the king of Assyria.
Te vaengah, “Judah manghai Hezekiah te thui pah lamtah, 'A soah na pangtung thil na Pathen loh nang n'rhaithi boel saeh. Jerusalem te Assyria manghai kut ah tloeng mahpawh na ti.
11 Lo! thou thyself, hast heard, what the kings of Assyria have done to all the lands, in devoting them to destruction, —and shalt, thou, be delivered?
Assyria manghai rhoek loh diklai tom ah a saii te na yaak coeng he. ‘Amih te a thup ham coeng dongah na loeih uh hatko.
12 Did the gods of the nations, deliver them, whom my fathers destroyed, Gozan, and Haran, —and Rezeph, and the sons of Eden, who were in Telassar?
Kai napa rhoek aka phae namtom pathen loh amih Gozan neh Haran, Rezeph neh Telassar kah Eden ca rhoek te a huul aya?
13 Where are the king of Hamath, and the king of Arpad, and the king of the city of Sepharvaim, —of Hena, and Ivvah?
Khamath manghai neh Arpad manghai, Hena Sepharvaim neh Ivvah khopuei manghai te ta?” na ti,” a ti nah.
14 And, when Hezekiah had received the letter at the hand of the messengers, and had read it, then went he up to the house of Yahweh, and Hezekiah spread it out before Yahweh.
Hezekiah loh puencawn kut lamkah capat te a doe tih a tae. Te phoeiah BOEIPA im la cet tih Hezekiah loh BOEIPA mikhmuh ah a kut a phuel.
15 And Hezekiah prayed before Yahweh, and said, O Yahweh, God of Israel, inhabiting the cherubim, thou thyself, art GOD, alone, for all the kingdoms of the earth, —thou, didst make the heavens and the earth.
Hezekiah te BOEIPA mikhmuh ah thangthui tih, “Cherubim ah aka ngol Israel Pathen BOEIPA aw, nang namah bueng ni diklai ram boeih soah Pathen la na om. Namah loh vaan neh diklai na saii.
16 Bow down, O Yahweh, thine ear, and hear, Open, O Yahweh, thine eyes, and see, —yea hear thou the words of Sennacherib, who hath sent—To reproach a Living God!
BOEIPA aw na hna kaeng lamtah ya lah, BOEIPA aw na mik dai lamtah hmu laeh. A hing Pathen veet hamla Sennacherib loh ol a pat te hnatun nawn.
17 Of a truth, O Yahweh, —the kings of Assyria have devoted to destruction the nations and their lands;
BOEIPA aw Assyria manghai rhoek loh namtom rhoek neh a khohmuen te khaw a khah coeng.
18 and have put their gods in the fire, —for, no-gods, were, they, but the work of the hands of men—wood and stone, and so they destroyed them.
Amih kah pathen rhoek te hmai khuila a pup coeng. Te rhoek te pathen pawt tih hlang kut dongkah bibi, thing neh lungto la a om dongah milh uh coeng.
19 Now, therefore, O Yahweh our God, save us we pray thee, out of his hand, that all the kingdoms of the earth may know, that, thou, Yahweh, art God, alone!
Kaimih kah Pathen BOEIPA aw tahae ah kaimih he anih kut lamloh n'khang laeh. Te daengah ni diklai ram pum loh nang namah bueng te Pathen BOEIPA la m'ming eh?,” a ti.
20 Then Isaiah son of Amoz sent unto Hezekiah, saying, —Thus, saith Yahweh, God of Israel, What thou hast prayed unto me concerning Sennacherib king of Assyria, I have heard.
Te dongah Amoz capa Isaiah loh Hezekiah taengla ol atah tih, “Israel Pathen BOEIPA loh he ni a. thui. Assyria manghai Sennacherib kongah kai taengla na thangthui te ka yaak coeng.
21 This, is the word that Yahweh hath spoken concerning him, —The virgin daughter of Zion, laugheth thee to scorn, mocketh thee, The daughter of Jerusalem, after thee, doth wag her head.
Ol he BOEIPA loh anih a thui thil coeng. Zion nu, oila nang te n hnoelrhoeng thil uh tih nang te n'tamdaeng coeng. Na hnuk ah Jerusalem nu loh lu a hinghuen.
22 Whom, hast thou reproached, and insulted? and, against whom, hast thou lifted high thy voice? yea thou hast proudly raised thine eyes, against the Holy One of Israel.
Unim na veet tih na hliphen? U taengah nim ol na huel? Israel kah a cim la na maelhmai kah koevoeinah na phueih thil.
23 Through thy messengers, thou hast reproached My Lord, and hast said—With my multitude of chariots, have I ascended the height of the mountains, the recesses of Lebanon, —and have cut down its tallest cedars, its choicest firs, and have entered the shelter of its summit, its thick garden forests.
Na puencawn rhoek kah kut lamloh ka Boeipa te na veet tih, “Leng khaw kamah kah leng muep om, kai tah Lebanon hlaep kah tlang sang la ka luei, a lamphai thing sang neh hmaical a hloe khaw ka top. A cangphil cangngol duup a bawtnah kah rhaehim khaw ka pha.
24 I, have digged, and have drunk foreign waters, —and have dried up, with the soles of my feet, all the streams of besieged places.
Kamah loh ka rhawt dae kholong tui ni ka ok. Ka kho dongkah khopha loh Egypt sokko khaw boeih ka kak sak,’ na ti.
25 Hast thou not heard—that, long ago, that, is what I appointed, and, from days of old, devised it? Now, have I brought it to pass, that thou mightest serve to lay waste, in desolate ruins, fortified cities;
Hlamat tue lamloh ka saii te na ya daengrhae pawt nim? Te te ka hlinsai tih ka thoeng sak coeng. Te dongah vong cak khopuei aka hnuei tih lungkuk aka pong sak la na om coeng.
26 And, their inhabitants, being powerless, were overthrown and put to shame, —they became grass of the field, and young herbage, grass on housetops, and seed withered before it came up.
A khuikah khosa rhoek khaw a kut toi uh coeng. Rhihyawp uh tih yak uh coeng. Lohma kah baelhing neh imphu kah baeldaih sulnoe khopol bangla om uh tih canghli kah mawn bangla om.
27 Howbeit, thine abode, and thy coming out and thy going in, I know, —and thy raging against me.
Tedae na ngol khaw, na vuenva neh na kunael khaw, kai nan tlai thil te khaw ka ming.
28 Because, thy raging against me, and thy contempt, have come up into mine ears, therefore will I put my ring in thy nose, and my bit in thy lips, and will turn thee back by the way by which thou camest.
Kai nan tlai thil tih nan lawn khaw kai hna la ha pawk coeng. Te dongah ka thisum neh na hnarhong ah kan toeh vetih ka kamrhui he na hmuilai ah kam bang ni. Te lamkah na pawk vanbangla nang te tekah longpuei lamloh kam mael sak ni.
29 And, this unto thee, is the sign—Eating, this year, the growth of scattered seeds, and, in the second year, that which groweth after, —then, in the third year, sow ye and reap, plant ye vineyards, and eat the fruit thereof;
He tah nang ham miknoek la om saeh. Kum khat pong vetih kum bae dongah anboe te ca. Kum thum dongah tawn uh lamtah at uh. Misur khaw phung uh lamtah a thaih te ca uh.
30 Then shall the escaped of the house of Judah that remain, again—take root downward, and bear fruit upward;
A dang ah a yung aka sueng Judah imkhui kah rhalyong te a koei vetih a soah a thaih thai ni.
31 For, out of Jerusalem, shall go forth a remnant, and that which hath escaped—out of Mount Zion, —the jealousy of Yahweh of hosts, will perform this.
Jerusalem lamkah a meet neh Zion tlang lamkah rhalyong loh a pawk vaengah, caempuei BOEIPA kah thatlainah khaw cung bitni.
32 Therefore—Thus, saith Yahweh, concerning the king of Assyria, He shall not enter this city, nor shoot there, an arrow, —nor attack it with shield, nor cast up against it, a mound;
Te dongah BOEIPA loh Assyria manghai kongah he ni a. thui. Anih te he khopuei la ha pawk mahpawh. Heah he thaltang khaw nuen mahpawh. photling te khaw dan pawt vetih tanglung khaw lun thil mahpawh.
33 By the way that he cometh in, by the same, shall he return, —and, into this city, shall he not enter, declareth Yahweh!
Tekah longpuei lamloh ha pawk vanbangla te lamlong ni a. mael eh. He khopuei khuila kun mahpawh. He tah BOEIPA kah olphong coeng ni.
34 Thus will I throw a covering over this city, to save it, —for mine own sake, and for the sake of David my servant.
Kamah ham neh ka sal David kongah khopuei he daem sak ham ka tungaep ni,” a ti nah.
35 And it came to pass, during that night, that the messenger of Yahweh went forth, and smote, in the camp of the Assyrians, a hundred and eighty-five thousand. And, when men arose early in the morning, lo! they were all, dead bodies!
Te khoyin ah tah BOEIPA kah puencawn te cet tangloeng tih Assyria caem khuikah te thawng yakhat sawmrhet thawng nga a ngawn. Te dongah mincang kah a thoh uh vaengah tah amih te a rhok la boeih ana duek.
36 So Sennacherib king of Assyria brake up, and went his way, and returned, —and remained in Nineveh.
Te dongah puen uh tih a nong phoeiah tah Assyria manghai Sennacherib khaw mael tih Nineveh ah kho a sak.
37 And it came to pass, as he was bowing down in the house of Nisroch his god, that, Adrammelech and Sharezer [his sons], smote him with the sword, howbeit, they, escaped into the land of Ararat, —and Esarhaddon his son, reigned, in his stead.
Te phoeiah om tih anih te a pathen Nisrock im ah tho a thueng dae a capa Adrammelech neh Sharezer loh cunghang neh a ngawn. Amih rhoi te Ararat kho la a poeng rhoi dongah a capa Esarhaddon te anih yueng la manghai.
