2 Kings 19
1 When King Hezekiah heard what they reported, he tore his clothes and put on clothes made of rough cloth [because he was very distressed]. Then he went to the temple [to ask God what to do].
Siangpahrang Hezekiah ni hote hah a thai toteh, a khohna hah a phi teh, burihni a kâkhu teh BAWIPA im vah a kâen.
2 He summoned Eliakim and Shebna and the (older/most important) priests, who were also wearing clothes made of rough sackcloth, and told them to talk to me.
Imthung kahrawikung Eliakim hoi cakathutkung Shebna hoi vaihma kacuenaw ni burihni a kâkhu awh teh Amos capa profet Isaiah koevah a patoun awh.
3 He said to them, “Tell this to Isaiah: ‘King Hezekiah says that we are having great distress/trouble now. [Other nations are causing] us to be insulted and disgraced. We are like [MET] a woman who is about to give birth to a child, but she does not have the strength that she needs to do it.
Siangpahrang ni Isaiah koevah, sahnin teh rucatnae hoi yuenae hoi pacekpahleknae hnin doeh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, camo a khenae tue yo a pha ei teh khe nahane a tha awm hoeh.
4 Perhaps Yahweh your God has heard everything that the official from Assyria said. Perhaps he knows that his boss/master, the king of Assyria, sent him to insult the all-powerful God, and that Yahweh will rebuke/punish him for what he said.’ And he requests that you pray for the few of us who are still alive [here in Jerusalem].”
A bawipa Assiria siangpahrang ni, kahring Cathut pacekpahlek hanlah, a patoun e Rebshakeh ni a dei e lawknaw pueng hah BAWIPA Cathut ni thai vaiteh BAWIPA Cathut ni a thai e lawk dawk hoi a yue thai. Hote kecu dawk kaawmnaw hanlah ratoum pouh naseh.
5 When the messengers from Hezekiah came to Isaiah,
Hahoi teh, Siangpahrang Hezekiah e taminaw teh Isaiah koevah a cei awh.
6 Isaiah said to them, “[Go back to] your boss/master [and] tell him, ‘This is what Yahweh says: Those messengers from the king of Assyria have said evil things about me. But you should not be disturbed because of what they said.
Isaiah ni, ahnimouh koe na bawipa koe hettelah na dei awh han, BAWIPA ni hettelah a dei, na thai awh e lawk Assiria siangpahrang e taminaw ni na pacekpahlek awh e hah taket hanh awh.
7 Listen to this: I will cause Sennacherib to hear a rumor that will worry him, [that a foreign army is about to attack his country]. So he will return to his own country, and there I will cause him to be assassinated by [men using] swords.’”
Khenhaw! ahnimouh koe muitha buet touh ka patoun han. Kamthang a thai vaiteh, ama ram lah a ban han. Hahoi teh amae ram dawk roeroe vah, tahloi hoi ka kamlei sak han telah atipouh.
8 The official from Assyria found out that the King of Assyria [and his army] had left Lachish [city], and that they were attacking Libnah, [which is a nearby city]. So the official went there [to report to him what had happened in Jerusalem].
Hahoi Rebshakeh teh, a ban teh Assiria siangpahrang ni, Libnah a tuk nah a hmu, bangdawk Lakhish hai yo a tâco toe tie hah a thai.
9 Soon after that, King Sennacherib received a report that King Tirhakah of Ethiopia was leading his army, and was coming to attack them. So before King Sennacherib left Libnah [to fight against the army from Ethiopia], he sent other messengers to King Hezekiah with a letter.
Hahoi khenhaw! nang hoi kâtuk hanelah, a kamthaw toe telah, Tirhakah, Ethiopia siangpahrang kong ayâ ni a dei e hah a thai. Hahoi Hezekiah koe patounenaw bout a patoun.
10 [In the letter] he wrote this to Hezekiah: “Do not allow your god on whom you are relying to deceive you by promising that [the city of] Jerusalem will not be captured by my army [MTY].
Hettelah Judah siangpahrang Hezekiah koe na dei pouh han, na kângue awh e na Cathut ni, Jerusalem heh Assiria siangpahrang kut dawk poe mahoeh na ti awh e hah, telah na dum hanh naseh.
11 You have certainly heard what the armies of the kings of Assyria have done to all the other countries. Our armies have completely destroyed them. So, (do you think that you will escape?/do not think that your god will save you!) [RHQ]
Khenhaw! Assiria siangpahrangnaw ni, ramnaw pueng koung a raphoe teh, ahnimouh lathueng a sak e naw na thai toe. Nang hah na rungngang han tangngak ma aw
12 Did the gods of the nations that were about to be destroyed by the armies of the previous kings of Assyria rescue them? Did those gods rescue the people in the Gozan region and in Haran and Rezeph [cities in northern Syria] and the people of Eden who had been (deported/forced to go) to Tel-Assar [city]? None of the gods of those cities were able to rescue them.
Kaie mintoenaw ni a raphoe e Gozan, Haran, Rezeph, Eden tami Telassar ahnimae cathutnaw ni a rungngang awh nama aw.
13 What happened to the kings of Hamath and Arpad and Sepharvaim and Ivvah [cities] [RHQ]? [Most of them are dead, and the other people were deported]!”
Hamath siangpahrang, Arpad siangpahrang, Sepharvaim khopui siangpahrang, Hamath siangpahrang hoi Ivvah siangpahrangnaw hateh, namaw koung ao awh vaw telah atipouh.
14 Hezekiah took the letter that the messengers gave him, and he read it. Then he went up to the temple and spread out the letter in front of Yahweh.
Hezekiah ni, a patounenaw kut dawk e ca hah a hmu teh a touk pouh. Hahoi teh Hezekiah teh BAWIPA im a kâen teh BAWIPA hmalah ca teh a kadai.
15 Then Hezekiah prayed, “Yahweh, the God whom to whom we Israelis belong, you are seated on your throne above the [statues of] creatures with wings, [above the Sacred Chest]. Only you are truly God. You rule all the kingdoms on this earth. You are the one who created [everything on] the earth and [in] the sky.
Hezekiah ni BAWIPA hmalah a ratoum teh Oe Bawipa, Cherubim rahak vah kho ka sak e Isarel Cathut, nang nama dueng doeh talai van pueng uknaeram thung Cathut lah na kaawm, talai hoi kalvan hai nang ni na sak e doeh.
16 So, Yahweh, please listen to what I am saying, and look [at what is happening]. And listen to what King Sennacherib has said to insult you, the all-powerful God.
Oe BAWIPA, na hnâpakeng haw nateh, na thai pouh haw. Oe BAWIPA na mit padai nateh khenhaw! kahring Cathut pacekpahlek e Sennacherib ni lawk a dei e hah thai haw.
17 “Yahweh, it is true that [the armies of] the kings of Assyria have completely destroyed many nations, and ruined their land.
BAWIPA, Assiria siangpahrangnaw ni, miphunnaw hoi a ramnaw teh a raphoe ei.
18 And they have thrown the idols of those nations into fires and burned them. But [that was not difficult to do, because] they were not gods. They were only statues made of wood and stone, idols that were shaped by humans, [and that is why they were destroyed easily].
A cathutnaw hai hmai dawk koung a phum pouh ei. Bangkongtetpawiteh, hotnaw teh cathutnaw ka tang na hoeh. Tami kut hoi sak e, thing hoi talung doeh, hatdawkvah a raphoe awh.
19 So now, Yahweh our God, please rescue us from the power [MTY] [of the king of Assyria], in order that the people in all the kingdoms of the world will know that you, Yahweh, are the only one who is truly God.”
Hatdawkvah oe BAWIPA, kaimae Cathut nang nama dueng doeh, BAWIPA Cathut lah na kaawm tie talai uknaeramnaw pueng ni, nang na panue thai nahan, na kut hoi na rungngang lah, telah atipouh.
20 Then Isaiah sent this message to Hezekiah: “This is what Yahweh, the God to whom we Israelis belong, says: 'I have heard what you prayed to me about Sennacherib, the king of Assyria.
Hote tueng dawk Amos capa Isaiah ni, Hezekiah koevah Isarel BAWIPA Cathut ni telah a dei. Assiria siangpahrang Sennacherib taran lahoi yah, kai koe a ratoum e teh ka thai toe.
21 This is what I say to him: “The people of Jerusalem [MTY] despise you and make fun of you. They wag/shake their heads to mock you while you flee from here.
Hetheh, hot kong dawk hoi BAWIPA ni a dei e doeh. Zion canu tanglakacuem ni, pacekpahlek hoi na panuikhai e hah, Jerusalem canu ni a lû a kahek.
22 Who do you think that you are despising and ridiculing? Who do you think you were shouting at? Who do you think you were looking at very proudly/arrogantly? It was I, the holy God whom the Israelis worship.
Apimaw a min na mathoe sak teh, na pacekpahlek. Apimaw lawk hoi na hram sin, na mit na ueng sin, Isarel tami kathoung koe kai ma.
23 The messengers that you sent made fun of me. You said, 'With my many chariots I have gone to the highest mountains, even to the highest mountains in Lebanon. We have cut down its tallest cedar trees and its nicest pine/cyprus trees. We have been to the most distant/remote peaks and to its dense forests.
Na patounenaw hno lahoi BAWIPA teh na pacekpahlek. Kaie rangleng moikapap hoi Lebanon ram kadung poung hoi monnaw koe ka pha teh, haw e sidar thing kahawinaw hoi hmaica thingnaw ka tâtueng vaiteh, talai ahawinae ratu, kho a rasang na koe hoe a dung nah koevah, ka kâen han.
24 We have dug wells in other countries and drank water from them. And by marching through [MTY] the streams of Egypt, we dried them all up [HYP]!”’
Ram alouknaw e tui hah ka tai teh, ka tâco sak teh ouk ka nei, ka khoktabei ni Izip ramnaw pueng koung ka hak sak han telah ati.
25 [‘But I reply], “Have you never heard that long ago I determined [that those things would happen]? I planned it long ago, and now I have been causing it to happen. I planned that your army would have [the power to] capture many cities that were surrounded by high walls, and cause them to become piles of rubble.
Kai ni ayan hai ka sak e nahoehmaw, Atu teh kai ni ka sak e ti teh na panuek hoeh maw. Vaipuen lah a coung nahan raphoe e khopui rapan lah na o nahanelah, hottelah atu koung kahma sak toe.
26 The people who lived in those cities have no power, and as a result they became dismayed and discouraged. They are as frail as plants and grass in the fields, as frail as grass that grows on the roofs of houses and is scorched by the hot east wind.
Hatdawkvah a thung a kaawm e taminaw teh, tha a youn awh dawkvah, a yawng awh teh yeirai a phu awh.
27 “But I know [everything about you]. I know when you are in your house and when you go outside; I also know that you are (raging/speaking very angrily) against me.
Hatei na onae hmuen na kâen, na tâco, kai taranlahoi na lungphuen tie ka panue.
28 So, because you have raged against me, and because I have heard [MTY] you speak very proudly/arrogantly, [it will be as though] I will put a hook in your nose and an iron (bit/piece of metal) in your mouth [in order that I can lead you where I want you to go], and I will force you to return [to your own country] on the same road on which you came here, [without conquering Jerusalem].” '
Bangkongtetpawiteh, kai taranlahoi na lungphuen pawiteh, kai koe ut na sin e teh ka hnâ koe koung a pha toe. Hatdawkvah na hnawng dawk hradang ka ta vaiteh, na pahni hah khakkhui vaiteh, hahoi na thonae koe lam hoi bout na ban sak han.
29 Then Isaiah said to Hezekiah, “This is what will happen to prove [that I am telling the truth]: This year and next year you [and your people] will be able to harvest only (wild grain/grain that grows without having been planted). But the following year, you [Israelis] will be able to plant grain and harvest it, and to plant vineyards and eat the grapes that you harvest.
Hetheh, nang hanlah kamnuenae lah ao han. Takum teh amahmawk ka paw e hah, na khan awh vaiteh, palawng haiyah, amahmawk ka paw e na khan awh han. A kum pâthum teh, cang tu awh nateh, misur takha hah sak awh nateh a paw hah cat awh.
30 The people [MTY] in Judah who remain alive will prosper and have many children; they will be like plants whose roots go deep down into the ground and which produce much [MET].
Judah imthungkhunaw thung dawk ka hlout ni teh kacawiraenaw ni, rahim lah khongyang a pabo vaiteh lathueng lah a paw a paw awh han.
31 There will be many people in Jerusalem [DOU] who will survive, because Yahweh, the commander of the armies of angels in heaven, wants [PRS] it to happen.
Bangtelah tetpawiteh, kaawm e naw hah Jerusalem lahoi a ban awh han. Zion mon dawk kacawiraenaw hah a cei awh han. Ransahu BAWIPA ngaikhainae lahoi hothateh, a sak han.
32 So this is what Yahweh, says about the king of Assyria: ‘His armies will not enter this city; they will not even shoot any arrows into it! His soldiers will not march outside the city gates carrying shields, and they will not even build high mounds of dirt against [the city walls] [to enable them to attack the city].
Hatdawkvah BAWIPA ni Assiria siangpahrang kong teh, telah doeh a dei. Ahni teh hete khopui kâen mahoeh. Khokhu dawk pala pathui mahoeh. Khopui hmalah bahling hah patue mahoeh, kho lawi vah talai na paten mahoeh.
33 Their king will return to his own country on the same road on which he came here. He will not enter this city! [That will happen because] I, Yahweh have said it!
A thonae lam koe lahoi a ban vaiteh, khopui thung kâen mahoeh.
34 I will defend this city and prevent it from being destroyed. I will do this for the sake of my own reputation and because of what I promised to King David, who served me well.'”
Kai kecu dawk hoi thoseh, ka san Devit kecu dawk hoi thoseh, hete khopui teh ka rungngang hanelah ka ring han, BAWIPA ni ati, telah tami a patoun.
35 That night, an angel from Yahweh went out to where the army of Assyria had put up their tents, and killed 185,000 of their soldiers! When the rest of their soldiers woke up the next morning, they saw that there were corpses everywhere!
Hahoi teh hote tangmin vah, BAWIPA kalvantami hah a cei teh, Assirianaw ni a roenae hmuen dawk 185,000 a thei awh. Amom maya a thaw toteh khenhaw! ro doeh patkâhai toe.
36 Then King Sennacherib left and went home to Nineveh, [the capital of Assyria].
Hahoi Assiria siangpahrang Sennacherib teh, a tâco, im vah a ban teh Nineveh kho vah pou ao.
37 One day, when he was worshiping in the temple of his god Nisroch, two of his sons, Adrammelech and Sharezer, killed him with their swords. Then they escaped and went to [the] Ararat [region, northwest of Nineveh]. And another of Sennacherib's sons, Esarhaddon, became the king of Assyria.
Hahoi, a cathut Nisroch im vah a bawk lahun nah a capa Adrammelek hoi Sharezer ni, tahloi hoi a thei roi teh, Ararat ram vah a yawng roi. Hahoi a capa Esarhaddon ni a yueng lah a uk.
