2 Manghai 20

1 Te vaeng tue ah Hezekiah te tlo tih dalh duek. Te dongah tonghma Amoz capa Isaiah te anih taengla pawk tih, “BOEIPA loh he ni a thui, na imkhui te uen laeh, na duek vetih na hing voel mahpawh,” a ti nah.

In those days Hezekiah was ill and near death. And Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amoz, came to him, and said to him, The Lord says, Put your house in order, for your death is near.

2 Te dongah a maelhmai te pangbueng taengla a hooi sak. Te phoeiah BOEIPA taengah thangthui tih,

Then, turning his face to the wall, he made his prayer to the Lord, saying,

3 “Aw BOEIPA, na mikhmuh ah oltak neh, thinko rhuemtuet la pongpa te khaw, na mikhmuh ah a then ka saii te khaw poek mai,” a ti. Te vaengah Hezekiah kah a rhah mah hlawkhlawk rhap.

O Lord, keep in mind how I have been true to you with all my heart, and have done what is good in your eyes. And Hezekiah gave way to bitter weeping.

4 Isaiah loh khopuei vongup bangli a pha moenih. Te vaengah BOEIPA ol te anih taengla pawk tih,

Now before Isaiah had gone out of the middle of the town, the word of the Lord came to him, saying,

5 “Mael lamtah ka pilnam kah rhaengsang Hezekiah te thui pah. Na pa David kah Pathen BOEIPA loh he ni a thui. Na thangthuinah te ka yaak tih na mikphi khaw ka hmuh coeng. Kai loh nang kang hoeih sak coeng ne, a thum hnin ah tah BOEIPA im la na cet bitni.

Go back and say to Hezekiah, the ruler of my people, The Lord, the God of David your father, says, Your prayer has come to my ears, and I have seen your weeping; see, I will make you well: on the third day you will go up to the house of the Lord.

6 Na khohnin te kum hlai nga kan thap vetih namah neh khopuei he khaw Assyria manghai kut lamloh kan huul ni. Khopuei he kamah ham neh ka sal David hamla ka tungaep ni,” a ti nah.

I will give you fifteen more years of life; and I will keep you and this town safe from the hands of the king of Assyria; I will keep this town safe, for my honour, and for the honour of my servant David.

7 Te phoeiah Isaiah loh, “Thaibu thaidae lo lah,” a ti nah. A loh uh tangloeng tih buhlut a ben thil daengah koep hing.

Then Isaiah said, Take a cake of figs. So they took it and put it on his wound, and he got better.

8 Hezekiah loh Isaiah taengah, “BOEIPA loh kai he n'hoeih sak tih a thum hnin ah BOEIPA im la ka caeh ham miknoek te melae?” a ti nah.

And Hezekiah said to Isaiah, What is to be the sign that the Lord will make me well, and that I will go up to the house of the Lord on the third day?

9 Te vaengah Isaiah loh, “He tah nang ham BOEIPA lamkah miknoek pawn ni. Ol a thui bangla khokhawn loh tangtlaeng parha a poeng ham khaw, tangtlaeng parha a mael ham khaw, BOEIPA loh a saii bitni,” a ti nah.

And Isaiah said, This is the sign the Lord will give you, that he will do what he has said; will the shade go forward ten degrees or back?

10 Te vaengah Hezekiah, “Khokhawn loh tangtlaeng parha a poeng ham tah yoeikoek pawt nim? Te dongah khokhawn he tangtlaeng parha a hnuk la mael mai saeh,” a ti nah.

And Hezekiah said in answer, It is a simple thing for the shade to go forward; but let it go back ten degrees.

11 Tonghma Isaiah loh BOEIPA a khue thil tangloeng vaengah tah tangtlaeng dongkah khokhawn khaw mael tih Ahaz kah tangtlaeng dongah khaw a hnuk la tangtlaeng parha rhum van.

Then Isaiah the prophet made prayer to the Lord, and he made the shade go back ten degrees from its position on the steps of Ahaz.

12 Te vaeng tue ah Hezekiah a tloh te Babylon manghai Baladan capa Merodakbaldan loh a yaak dongah Hezekiah taengla capat neh khocang a pat.

At that time, Merodach-baladan, the son of Baladan, king of Babylon, sent letters with an offering to Hezekiah, because he had news that Hezekiah had been ill.

13 Hezekiah loh amih te a yaak sak tih amih te a likmal im kah cak neh sui khaw, botui neh situi then khaw, a hnopai im khaw, a thakvoh khuikah a hmuh boeih khaw boeih a tueng. A im khui neh a khohung pum kah te Hezekiah loh amih a tueng pawh hno om pawh.

And Hezekiah was glad at their coming and let them see all his store of wealth, the silver and the gold and the spices and the oil of great price, and the house of his arms, and everything there was in his stores; there was nothing in all his house or his kingdom which Hezekiah did not let them see.

14 Te dongah tonghma Isaiah loh manghai Hezekiah te a paan tih amah taengah, “Tekah hlang rhoek loh balae a thui, me lamkah nim nang taengla ha pawk uh,” a ti nah. Te vaengah Hezekiah loh, “Kho hla lamkah, Babylon lamkah ha pawk uh,” a ti nah.

Then Isaiah the prophet came to King Hezekiah and said to him, What did these men say and where did they come from? And Hezekiah said, They came from a far country, even from Babylon.

15 Te phoeiah, “Na im ah balae a hmuh?” a ti nah hatah Hezekiah loh, “Ka im kah a cungkuem he a hmuh uh. Ka thakvoh khuikah khaw amih ka tueng pawh hno pakhat khaw om pawh,” a ti nah.

And he said, What have they seen in your house? And Hezekiah said in answer, They saw everything in my house: there is nothing among my stores which I did not let them see.

16 Tedae Isaiah loh Hezekiah te, “BOEIPA ol he hnatun lah.

And Isaiah said to Hezekiah, Give ear to the word of the Lord.

17 A tue ha pawk vetih na im kah a cungkuem neh na pa rhoek loh tahae khohnin due a kael te khaw Babylon la a phueih vetih paih mahpawh. BOEIPA loh ol a thui coeng.

Truly, days are coming when everything in your house, and whatever your fathers have put in store till this day, will be taken away to Babylon: all will be gone, says the Lord.

18 Namah lamloh aka thoeng na ca sak rhoek te khaw a khuen, a khuen uh vetih Babylon manghai bawkim ah imkhoem la om uh ni,” a ti nah.

And your sons, the offspring of your body, they will take away to be unsexed servants in the house of the king of Babylon.

19 Tedae, “Rhoepnah neh uepomnah he kamah tue vaengah om mai pawt nim?” a ti dongah Hezekiah loh Isaiah te, “Na thui bangla BOEIPA ol tah then,” a ti nah.

Then Hezekiah said to Isaiah, Good is the word of the Lord which you have said. Then he said, ... if in my time there is peace and righteousness?

20 Hezekiah kah ol noi neh a thayung thamal boeih khaw, tuibuem neh tuilong a saii tih khopuei la tui a pawk sak khaw, Judah manghai rhoek kah khokhuen olka cabu dongah a daek uh moenih a?

Now the rest of the acts of Hezekiah, and his power, and how he made the pool and the stream, to take water into the town, are they not recorded in the book of the history of the kings of Judah?

21 Hezekiah te a napa rhoek taengla a khoem uh phoeiah tah a capa Manasseh te anih yueng la manghai.

And Hezekiah went to rest with his fathers; and Manasseh his son became king in his place.
