2 Kings 20
1 About that time, Hezekiah became very ill. [He thought that he] was about to die. Isaiah the prophet came to him and said, “This is what Yahweh says: ‘You should tell the people in your palace what you want them to do after you die, because you are not going to recover from this illness. You are going to die.’”
Hiche phat laitah’in Hezekiah chu aha natlheh jingin ahileh, Amoz chapa Isaiah themgao chu aven achen ahi. Aman lengpa chu hiche thuhi aseipehtan ahi, “Hichehi Pakai thusei ahi, Nainsung kisemtoh tan, ajeh chu nang nathi ding ahitai. Hiche nanatna a kona hi nakiledoh joulou ding,” ati.
2 Hezekiah turned his face toward the wall and prayed,
Hezekiah in hiche thu ajahdoh phat’in, “Akiheiyin banglang anga’in Pakai kom’ah ataovin ahi.
3 “Yahweh, do not forget that I have always served you faithfully, and I have done things that pleased you.” Then Hezekiah started to cry loudly.
“O Pakai na ang’a kitah tah le gunchu tah a nakin kabol jing geldoh in, chuleh ichangeiya nalunglhaina a kana umjing ti neihin geldoh peh in,” atin, hijouchun lhasetah in hakan akap’in ahi.
4 Isaiah left the king, but before he had crossed the middle courtyard of the palace, Yahweh gave him a message
Hichun Isaiah in lengpa adalhan, ahinla leng inpi thutanna lailung aphah masangin Pakaiya konin hiche thuhi ahung lhungpai jeng in,
5 which said, “Go back to Hezekiah, the ruler of my people, and say to him, ‘I, Yahweh, the God whom your ancestor King David [worshiped], have heard what you prayed. And I have seen your tears. So, listen: I will heal you. Two days from now you will [be able to] go up to my temple.
“Kamite lamkaipu Hezekiah kom’ah gache in lang hiti hin gaseijin, Napu David Pathen Pakai chun hitin aseije, keiman nataona kajan kasanpeh tai chuleh namitlhi jong kamun, keiman nangma hi kadamsah ding nahitai, tuapat ni thum nileh nalupna a kona nathodoh ding Pakai houin kaija nache ding ahitai.
6 I will enable you to live for 15 more years. And I will rescue you and this city again from the power [MTY] of the king of Assyria. I will defend this city for the sake of my own reputation and because of what I promised King David, who served me [well].’”
Keiman nahinkho hi kum som le kum nga kapehbe ding nahi, chuleh hiche khopi hi Assyria lengpa a kona kahuhdoh ding ahi. Keiman hiche khopi hi kamin loupina dingleh kasohpa David khohsahna jal'a hiche khopi hi kavenbit ding ahi,” ati.
7 So Isaiah [returned to the palace and told Hezekiah what Yahweh had said. Then he] [to Hezekiah’s servants], “Bring a paste made of boiled figs. Put some of it on his boil, and he will get well.”
Hichu Isaiah in, “Theichanga konin lou teinang sem’un,” ati. Hiti chun Hezekiah lhachaten jong hiche lou chu anatna apomlai hochun anu uvin ahileh Hezekiah ahung damdoh tan ahi.
8 Then Hezekiah replied to Isaiah, “What will Yahweh do to prove that he will heal me and that two days from now I will be able to go up to the temple?”
Hichun Hezekiah in Isaiah kom’ah, “Tunia patna ni thum nileh kadamdoh’a Pakai houin kaija kache thei dingchu Pakaiyin ipi melchihna eipeh thei ding ham?” ati.
9 Isaiah replied, “Yahweh will do something that will prove to you that he will do what he promised. Do you want him to cause the shadow on the stairway/sundial to go back ten steps/degrees, or to go forward ten steps/degrees?”
Isaiah in jong adonbut’in, “Pakaiyin nateppehna bang banga nadamdoh sahding melchihna chu hiche hiding ahi, hiche kalbi leiya nilim khu kalsom amachonding, nadeijem? Ahiloule anung chonding nadeijem?” ati.
10 Hezekiah replied, “It is easy to cause the shadow to move forward, [because that is what it always does]. Tell him to cause it to move backward ten steps/degrees.”
Hezekiah in jong, “Nilim khu kalsom amchon ding chu abainan hijehchun kal som nungchon sah tan,” ati.
11 So Isaiah prayed earnestly to Yahweh, and Yahweh caused the shadow to go backward ten steps/degrees on the stairway/sundial that King Ahaz had made (OR, that workers had built for King Ahaz).
Hijeh chun Isaiah themgao chun Pakai kom’a ataovin ahile, Aman Ahaz kalbi leidoa nilim chu kalsom anungchon sah tan ahi.
12 At that time, King Merodach-Baladan, the son of Baladan the [previous] King of Babylonia, heard a report that King Hezekiah had been very sick. So he wrote some letters and gave them to some messengers to take to Hezekiah, along with a gift.
Hiche jou chun, Babylon lengpa Baladan chapa Merodach –baladan chun Hezekiah lengpa kipathu leh thilpeh ahin thotin ahi, ajeh chu aman Hezekiah chu aha nat lheh’e ti ana jahdoh ahi.
13 [When the messengers arrived], Hezekiah welcomed them gladly. Then he showed them everything that was in his (treasure houses/places where very valuable things were stored)—the silver and gold, the spices, the nice-smelling olive oil, and all the weapons [for his soldiers]. He showed them all the [valuable] things in his storerooms and everywhere else in his kingdom [HYP]; he showed them everything.
Hezekiah Babylon’a kona hung palai hochu anei agoukholna insunga thiljouse chu sana, dangka, gim-namtui ahin thaonamtui ahin avetsah soh keijin ahi. Aman amaho chu apuijin leng inpi sunga thilkholna a kikhol jouse chu gal manchah ho pum’in avetsah sohkeijin ahi. Aleng inpi sunga ahin aleng gam sunga ahin Hezekiah in avetsahlou aumtapon ahi.
14 Then the prophet Isaiah went to Hezekiah and asked him, “Where did those men come from, and what did they say to you?” Hezekiah replied, “They came from a country very far from here. They came from Babylonia.”
Hichun Isaiah themgao chu Hezekiah lengpa kom’ah achen hitin aga dongtan ahi, “Hiche hochun ipiham adei’u ham? Amaho hoiya hungkon hiuvem?” tin ana dongin ahile, Hezekiah in adonbut in, “Amaho chu Babylon khopi gamlatah a hung kon ahiuve,” tin adonbut in ahi.
15 Isaiah asked, “What did they see in your palace?” Hezekiah replied, “They saw everything. I showed them absolutely everything that I own—all my valuable things.”
“Amahon naleng inpia hi ipi pi amu uvem?” tin Isaiah in adongin ahileh, Hezekiah in adonbut in, “Keiman amaho chu kanei jouse kavetsah in, kaleng inpia kanei kagou jouse jong kavetsah soh keijin ahi,” ati.
16 [Isaiah knew that Hezekiah had done a very foolish thing]. So Isaiah said to him, “Listen to what Yahweh says to you.
Hichun Isaiah in Hezekiah kom’achun, “Pakaija konin hiche thupeh hi ngaijin.”
17 There will be a time when everything that is still in your palace, all the valuable things that were put there by you and your ancestors, will be carried away to Babylon. There will be nothing left here! [That is what] Yahweh says [to you]
“Naleng inpia thiljouse, napu napate hon ana khollu leh tuchangeija um nanei nagou jouse hi Babylon khopi a akipohlut diu nikho chu hung lhung ding ahi. Thilkep ho chu khat a kahtcha kidalha louding ahi, tin Pakaiyin aseije,” ati.
18 Furthermore, some of your own descendants will be forced to go there, and they will be castrated in order that they may become servants in the palace of the King of Babylon.”
“Nangma chate tah hojeng jong phabep jong kikai mangding amaho chu Babylon leng inpi sunga nukiso ahisah uva soh a pangdiu ahi,” atipeh tan ahi.
19 Then Hezekiah replied to Isaiah, “That message from Yahweh that you have given to me is good.” He said that because he was thinking, “Even if that happens, there will be peace and security [in Israel] all the rest of my life.”
Hezekiah in Isaiah kom’ah, “Hiche thupeh Pakaija kona eikipe hi aphalheh jenge,” ati. “Ajeh chu lengpan ageldan’a chu, Keima hinkho sung beh’in chamnale lungmonna umnante atin ahi.”
20 [If you want to know more about] [RHQ] all the other things that Hezekiah did, about his brave deeds in battle, about his ordering a reservoir to be built in the city and a tunnel [to be dug] to bring water into the reservoir, they are all written in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Judah’.
Hezekiah vaihomlai sunga thilsoh jouse chuleh athanei na sunga ahin, chuleh aman twikul alaija, twilam anasem’a khopi sunga ana lonlutsah ho jouse chu Judah le lengho thusimbu kijih lutna lekhabuah aumsoh keijin ahi.
21 Later Hezekiah died [EUP], and his son Manasseh became the king.
Hezekiah athin, hichun achapa Manasseh in lengmun ahinlo tan ahi.
