2 Setouknae 32
1 Yuemkamcu lah hno a sak awh hnukkhu, Assiria siangpahrang Sennacherib hah a tho teh, Judah ram lah a kâen. Kalup e khopui la hanelah noe lahoi a kalup awh.
After these things and this faithfulness, Sennacherib king of Assyria came, entered into Judah, encamped against the fortified cities, and intended to win them for himself.
2 Sennacherib hah a tho teh, Jerusalem tuk han a noe e hah Hezekiah ni a thai toteh,
When Hezekiah saw that Sennacherib had come, and that he was planning to fight against Jerusalem,
3 kho alawilah kaawm e tuinaw tapuet hanelah, kahrawikungnaw hoi athakaawme taminaw koe pouknae a hei teh ahni hah a kabawp awh.
he took counsel with his princes and his mighty men to stop the waters of the springs which were outside of the city, and they helped him.
4 Hot patetlah tami moikapap a kamkhueng awh teh, tuinaw pueng hoi kho dawk ka lawng e naw hah a paka awh. Bangkongmaw, Assiria siangpahrang a kâen vaiteh, tui moikapap a tawn han, telah a ti.
Then many people gathered together and they stopped all the springs and the brook that flowed through the middle of the land, saying, “Why should the kings of Assyria come, and find abundant water?”
5 Hottelah hoi kalupnae katimnaw pueng tha a patho awh teh a sak awh. Imrasang hah alawilah kalupnae hoi a sak. Devit kho e Millo rapan a caksak awh teh, senehmaica hoi bahling moikapap lah a sak.
He took courage, built up all the wall that was broken down, and raised it up to the towers, with the other wall outside, and strengthened Millo in David’s city, and made weapons and shields in abundance.
6 Tarantuknae koe kahrawikung kacuenaw a rawi awh. Khopui longkha koe a kamkhueng sak awh.
He set captains of war over the people, gathered them together to him in the wide place at the gate of the city, and spoke encouragingly to them, saying,
7 Thasai lahoi tarankahawilah awm awh haw. Assiria siangpahrang hoi ahni koe kaawmnaw takhek awh hanh. Na lungpout awh hanh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, maimouh koelah kampang e teh, ahnimouh koelah kampang e hlak a thasaihnawn.
“Be strong and courageous. Don’t be afraid or dismayed because of the king of Assyria, nor for all the multitude who is with him; for there is a greater one with us than with him.
8 Ahnimouh koe kampang e teh takthai ransa lah ao. Na kabawm hane hoi na ka tuk khai hane maimouh koe lah ka kampang e teh Cathut doeh telah thapoenae lawk a dei. Taminaw ni Judah siangpahrang Hezekiah ni a dei e dawk a kâuep awh.
An arm of flesh is with him, but the LORD our God is with us to help us and to fight our battles.” The people rested themselves on the words of Hezekiah king of Judah.
9 Hathnukkhu Assiria siangpahrang Sennacherib ni ama hoi a ransanaw teh, Lakhish vah ao awh. Judah siangpahrang Hezekiah hoi Jerusalem e Judah taminaw pueng koevah,
After this, Sennacherib king of Assyria sent his servants to Jerusalem, (now he was attacking Lachish, and all his forces were with him), to Hezekiah king of Judah, and to all Judah who were at Jerusalem, saying,
10 Assiria siangpahrang Sennacherib hettelah a dei, Jerusalem la hanelah bangkongmaw na yuem awh hoeh.
Sennacherib king of Assyria says, “In whom do you trust, that you remain under siege in Jerusalem?
11 Hezekiah ni, BAWIPA Cathut ni Assiria siangpahrang kut dawk hoi na rungngang han telah vonhlam tui kahran laihoi na due awh nahane dawk na pasawt awh nahoehmaw.
Doesn’t Hezekiah persuade you to give you over to die by famine and by thirst, saying, ‘The LORD our God will deliver us out of the hand of the king of Assyria’?
12 Hezekiah ni doeh Cathut e hmuenrasang hoi khoungroenaw a pahnawt teh, khoungroe buet touh e hmalah nangmouh ni na bawk awh han. Hote khoungroe van vah, hmuitui hah hmai na sawi awh han telah Judah khoca, Jerusalem khocanaw hah kâ poe hoeh namaw.
Hasn’t the same Hezekiah taken away his high places and his altars, and commanded Judah and Jerusalem, saying, ‘You shall worship before one altar, and you shall burn incense on it’?
13 Kai hoi mintoenaw ni ram tangkuem ka sak awh e na panuek awh hoeh maw. Bangpatetlae miphun Cathut ni nakunghai, ka kut thung hoi a ram hah a rungngang thai yaw maw.
Don’t you know what I and my fathers have done to all the peoples of the lands? Were the gods of the nations of those lands in any way able to deliver their land out of my hand?
14 Bangpatete miphun cathut maw, ka mintoenaw ni a raphoe awh hoeh e, ka kut thung hoi ka hlout e hoi a rungngang thai e ouk kaawm. Na Cathut ni hai ka kut thung hoi na rungngang thai han namaw.
Who was there amongst all the gods of those nations which my fathers utterly destroyed that could deliver his people out of my hand, that your God should be able to deliver you out of my hand?
15 Hatdawkvah, Hezekiah ni na dum awh nahanh seh. Hot patetlah na tacuek awh nahanh seh. Ahni teh yuem awh hanh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, bangpatet lae miphun cathut hoi, bangpatet e uknaeram cathut nihai, ka kut thung hoi ka mintoenaw e kut thung hoi na ka rungngang thai hane awm boihoeh. Bangtelamaw, nangmae cathut ni bout na rungngang thai awh han rah, telah Jerusalem vah tami a patoun.
Now therefore don’t let Hezekiah deceive you nor persuade you in this way. Don’t believe him, for no god of any nation or kingdom was able to deliver his people out of my hand, and out of the hand of my fathers. How much less will your God deliver you out of my hand?”
16 A taminaw ni hothlak hoe kacaihnawn lah BAWIPA Cathut hoi a san Hezekiah kong dawk kathout lahoi lawk a dei awh.
His servants spoke yet more against the LORD God and against his servant Hezekiah.
17 Isarel BAWIPA Cathut a lungkhuek sak hane hoi dudam lahoi ca a thut. Ram pueng miphun pueng cathutnaw ni ka kut thung hoi a taminaw a rungngang thai hoeh e patetlah Hezekiah Cathut nihai, ka kut dawk hoi a taminaw rungngang thai mahoeh telah a ti.
He also wrote letters insulting the LORD, the God of Israel, and speaking against him, saying, “As the gods of the nations of the lands, which have not delivered their people out of my hand, so shall the God of Hezekiah not deliver his people out of my hand.”
18 Khopui a la thai awh nahan, a pakhi awh teh a lungpuen sak awh nahan Jerusalem kalupnae koe kaawmnaw hah Hebru lawk lahoi kacaipounglah pou a hram sin awh.
They called out with a loud voice in the Jews’ language to the people of Jerusalem who were on the wall, to frighten them and to trouble them, that they might take the city.
19 Jerusalem Cathut teh, tami kut hoi sak e talai cathut patetlah a dudam awh.
They spoke of the God of Jerusalem as of the gods of the peoples of the earth, which are the work of men’s hands.
20 Siangpahrang Hezekiah hoi Amoz capa profet Isaiah niteh, haw e hno dawk a ratoum teh kalvan kaawm e hah a kaw.
Hezekiah the king and Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amoz, prayed because of this, and cried to heaven.
21 BAWIPA ni kalvantami a patoun teh, ama ni Assiria siangpahrang a roenae koe e tarankahawi ni teh athakaawme taminaw hoi kahrawikung kacuenaw hah a thei awh. Hottelahoi minhmai ka mathout lahoi a ram koelah a ban. A cathut im vah a cei lahun nah, a thung hoi e a canaw roeroe ni tahloi hoi a thei awh.
The LORD sent an angel, who cut off all the mighty men of valour, the leaders, and captains in the camp of the king of Assyria. So he returned with shame of face to his own land. When he had come into the house of his god, those who came out of his own body killed him there with the sword.
22 Hot patetlah BAWIPA ni Hezekiah hoi Jerusalem taminaw teh Assiria siangpahrang Sennacherib kut dawk hoi alouke tami kut dawk hoi a rungngang teh a tengpam e naw thung hoi a ring awh.
Thus the LORD saved Hezekiah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem from the hand of Sennacherib the king of Assyria and from the hand of all others, and guided them on every side.
23 Tami moikapap ni Jerusalem vah BAWIPA hanlah hno a sin awh. Aphu kaawm poung e hnonaw hah Judah siangpahrang Hezekiah koevah a poe awh. Hatnae tueng hoi teh, miphun pueng e mithmu vah oup e lah ao.
Many brought gifts to the LORD to Jerusalem, and precious things to Hezekiah king of Judah, so that he was exalted in the sight of all nations from then on.
24 Hatnae tueng dawk Hezekiah teh meimei kadout lah a pataw. BAWIPA koevah a ratoum, lawk a dei pouh teh mitnoutnae a poe.
In those days Hezekiah was terminally ill, and he prayed to the LORD; and he spoke to him, and gave him a sign.
25 Hatei teh Hezekiah ni ahni hanelah hawinae sak ngai hoeh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, a kâoup. Hatdawkvah, ama hoi Judah tami hoi Jerusalem lathueng lungkhueknae a pha.
But Hezekiah didn’t reciprocate appropriate to the benefit done for him, because his heart was lifted up. Therefore there was wrath on him, Judah, and Jerusalem.
26 Hezekiah ni a lungthin a kâoupnae hah pankângai lahoi amahoima Jerusalem taminaw hoi a kârahnoum awh. Hottelah Hezekiah a hring nathung vah, BAWIPA lungkhueknae hah a lathueng phat pouh boihoeh toe.
However, Hezekiah humbled himself for the pride of his heart, both he and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so that the LORD’s wrath didn’t come on them in the days of Hezekiah.
27 Hezekiah teh hnopai moikapap a tawn dawkvah a bari awh. Ngun, sui, talung aphu kaawm, hmuitui, bahling, kahawi e hnopai hrueknae im hai a sak.
Hezekiah had exceedingly great riches and honour. He provided himself with treasuries for silver, for gold, for precious stones, for spices, for shields, and for all kinds of valuable vessels;
28 Capainaw, misurtui, satui, pâtungnae im hai a sak. Hahoi saring phunkuep hoi tu hrueknae imnaw hah a sak.
also storehouses for the increase of grain, new wine, and oil; and stalls for all kinds of animals, and flocks in folds.
29 Khoha a thawng teh, tuhu hoi maitohu moikapap a tawn. Bangkongtetpawiteh, Cathut ni a tawnta sak.
Moreover he provided for himself cities, and possessions of flocks and herds in abundance; for God had given him abundant possessions.
30 Hezekiah ni Gihon palang hah a pauem teh, Devit khopui kanîloumlah a lawng sak. Hottelah Hezekiah teh a sak nah tangkuem a lamcawn.
This same Hezekiah also stopped the upper spring of the waters of Gihon, and brought them straight down on the west side of David’s city. Hezekiah prospered in all his works.
31 Babilon bawinaw ni laicei a patoun teh a ram e kângairu hno a sak e a paceinae dawkvah, a lungthin dawk kaawm e pueng a panue thai awh nahan Cathut ni a tanouk teh, hnamthun takhai.
However, concerning the ambassadors of the princes of Babylon, who sent to him to enquire of the wonder that was done in the land, God left him to test him, that he might know all that was in his heart.
32 Hezekiah tawksaknae pueng dawk hoi kaawm rae hawinae a sak e naw teh, khenhaw! Amoz capa profet Isaiah kamnuenae cauk, Judah Isarel siangpahrangnaw setouknae dawk a thut awh nahoehmaw.
Now the rest of the acts of Hezekiah and his good deeds, behold, they are written in the vision of Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amoz, in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel.
33 Hezekiah teh, a na mintoenaw koe a i teh, Devit capanaw e phuen dawk, kahawipoung e tangkom koe a pakawp awh. Judahnaw hoi Jerusalem taminaw ni Hezekiah a due toteh a sungren sak awh. A capa Manasseh ni a yueng lah a uk.
Hezekiah slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the ascent to the tombs of the sons of David. All Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem honoured him at his death. Manasseh his son reigned in his place.
