1 Hezekiah lengpa hin kitahna neitah a Pakai lungdeilam ahollai tah in Assyria lengpa Sennacherib hin Judah gam sung ahin bulutan ahi. Aman kulkikai khum khopiho ahin lonvuhtan chuleh asepaite chu kulpi palhochu vochipma khopi sunga lutdingin thu apen ahi
After all these acts of faithfulness, Sennacherib king of Assyria came and invaded Judah. He laid siege to the fortified cities, intending to conquer them for himself.
2 Sennacherib min Jerusalem khopi ahin nokhumtai ti amu phatnin,
When Hezekiah saw that Sennacherib had come to make war against Jerusalem,
3 Amanam a noija lamkai holeh sepai lamkai hotoh akihoutoh in khopi polamma longdoh twi chu sutang ding tin aki loltaove
he consulted with his leaders and commanders about stopping up the waters of the springs outside the city, and they helped him carry it out.
4 Hitichun mitamtah akikhom doh un twi gamsunga long lutjouse chu asutang gammun hitin aseijuve: “Ipi dinga Assyria lengpa chu hunga twi neng jeng junga amuthei diu ham?” atiove
Many people assembled and stopped up all the springs and the stream that flowed through the land. “Why should the kings of Assyria come and find plenty of water?” they said.
5 Hitichun aman khopi chim hochu asemphan khopi sunga panmun akisem toh'in akisuh hatnin pal chunga insang hojong atungdoh in chuleh polanga palchom jong asemben, galmanchah holeh ompho hojong neng chetnin asemmin ahi
Then Hezekiah worked resolutely to rebuild all the broken sections of the wall and to raise up towers on it. He also built an outer wall and reinforced the supporting terraces of the City of David, and he produced an abundance of weapons and shields.
6 Hiche banna chun aman aman khopi sunga mipi hochu sepai lamkaiho noija akoijin amahochun khopi kelkot kom mun onglai jachun akhommin hitihin ajah uva chun tilkhou na thu aseijin ahi
Hezekiah appointed military commanders over the people and gathered the people in the square of the city gate. Then he encouraged them, saying,
7 ”Hatnunglang hangun Assyria lengpa leh ahinkilhon pi mihonpi jehkhun kicha hih un, ajeh chu ama umpiho sangin eiho umpi ho atamjouve” ati
“Be strong and courageous! Do not be afraid or discouraged before the king of Assyria and the vast army with him, for there is a greater One with us than with him.
8 Ajeh chu ama umpi hohi tahsaphe muthei sepaiho ahiove amavang eiho ei umpiova chu Pakai Pathen ahin amatah in igallu hi eisat hu pehdiu ahi” ati. Hiti hin Judah lengpa Hezekiah thucheng hohin mipi hochu alung ngamsah in ahan sansah lheh jengtan ahi
With him is only the arm of flesh, but with us is the LORD our God to help us and to fight our battles.” So the people were strengthened by the words of Hezekiah king of Judah.
9 Hiche jouhin Assyria lengpa Sennacherib chun asoh teho chu Jerusalem langah asollin, Judah lengpa Hezekiah leh Jerusalem ma um Judah te jouse komma chun aseisah in:
Later, as Sennacherib king of Assyria and all his forces besieged Lachish, he sent his servants to Jerusalem with a message for King Hezekiah of Judah and all the people of Judah who were in Jerusalem:
10 Assyria lengpa Sennacherib min hitin aseije ipi kisonpi nanei juva kalonvuh khumsa Jerusalem mahi nahiti um ngamu ham?
“This is what Sennacherib king of Assyria says: What is the basis of your confidence, that you remain in Jerusalem under siege?
11 Nalengpao Hezekiah in Pakai na Pathenun keiho lengpa a konna nahuh diuva asei chu najou lhepmu ahin, gilkel le dangchah a nathisah gamgot nu ahibouve
Is not Hezekiah misleading you to give you over to death by famine and thirst when he says, ‘The LORD our God will deliver us from the hand of the king of Assyria?’
12 Ama hilouham houdang maicham leh halnam ho susea Judah te Jerusalem mipi te jah a houkhat seh leh maicham khatsehbou neiding tia chu Hezekiah hilouham?
Did not Hezekiah himself remove His high places and His altars and say to Judah and Jerusalem, ‘You must worship before one altar, and on it you shall burn sacrifices’?
13 Kapu kapateo leh keiman nam dang ho chunga katohnaohi nahet lou uham? Namdnagho pathen hon Assyria lengpa – a konna amite ahuhhing jou mong mong ngam?
Do you not know what I and my fathers have done to all the peoples of the lands? Have the gods of these nations ever been able to deliver their land from my hand?
14 Itih monga gamdang pathen nin agammi keihoa konna ahuhdoh jou beh am? Ahileh tua chu iti nangai touva na Pathennu chun keihoa konna nahuhdoh joudiuva chu ipin nakinepsah uham?
Who among all the gods of these nations that my fathers devoted to destruction has been able to deliver his people from my hand? How then can your God deliver you from my hand?
15 Phatah in kingai touvin Hezekiah chu hitichun ki lheplhah sah hih un, Tahsan hih un koimacha nam pathen nin Assyria lengpa – a kon in amite ahuhdoh jou pon ahi. Tahbeh in nangho Pathen nin jong kei hoa konna nang ho nahuhdoh joubeh dingham?
So now, do not let Hezekiah deceive you, and do not let him mislead you like this. Do not believe him, for no god of any nation or kingdom has been able to deliver his people from my hand or from the hand of my fathers. How much less will your God deliver you from my hand!”
16 Assyria lamkai hochun Pakai Pathen leh Pathen sohpa Hezekiah demna chu thilthang hoi tah tahjong aseijun ahi
And the servants of Sennacherib spoke further against the LORD God and against His servant Hezekiah.
17 Assyria lengpan athot lekha chun Israel Pakai Pathen chu aha dem lheh jengin ahi. Hichun aseije: “Namdnag ho pathenin katha nein a – a kon in amiteo ahuhdoh jou pouvin ahi, Hezekiah Pathennin jong keija kon in amite huhdoh joupon te” atin ahi
He also wrote letters mocking the LORD, the God of Israel, and saying against Him: “Just as the gods of the nations did not deliver their people from my hand, so the God of Hezekiah will not deliver His people from my hand.”
18 Amahon mipi hetding chun Hebrew paovin Jerusalem mipiho leh palchunga umho jahdinga ahet thei dingu chuleh lungneosah ding hitia chu bailamtah a jothei nading atio ahi
Then the Assyrians called out loudly in Hebrew to the people of Jerusalem who were on the wall, to frighten and terrify them in order to capture the city.
19 Judate Pathen chu nam dang dangho semthu pathen toh kibanga aseikhum jengu ahi
They spoke against the God of Jerusalem as they had spoken against the gods of the peoples of the earth—the work of human hands.
20 Tun Hezekiah lengpa leh Isaiah Amoz chapa chu Pathen hengah kaple pengin ataolhon tan ahi
In response, King Hezekiah and the prophet Isaiah son of Amoz cried out to heaven in prayer,
21 Hijouchun avantil khat ahin sollin hiche vantil chun mihang mihat, lamkai Assyria lengpa sepai hojouse chu athat gamhel tan ahi. Hichun ama jahchatah leh jumtah in agamma akile tan ahi. Hichun aman asemthu Pathen houinna aum sungin achate alutnun chemjam min asat lih taovin ahi
and the LORD sent an angel who annihilated every mighty man of valor and every leader and commander in the camp of the king of Assyria. So he withdrew to his own land in disgrace. And when he entered the temple of his god, some of his own sons struck him down with the sword.
22 Hitichun Pakaiyin Hezekiah lengpa leh Jerusalem mipi techu Assyria lengpa leh galmi danghoa kon in ahuhdoh tan ahi. Hitichun Pathenin amite chu avelluva cheng gamsung mihoa kon in jong chamna alensah taan ahi
So the LORD saved Hezekiah and the people of Jerusalem from the hands of King Sennacherib of Assyria and all the others, and He gave them rest on every side.
23 Mitamtah in Jerusalem Pakai jadingin kiphaldohna thilpeh ahin choijun chuleh Judah lengpa Hezekiah dingin kipa thilpeh ahung peovin hichea konhin Hezekiah chu namtin lah a choisangin a um taan ahi
Many brought offerings to Jerusalem for the LORD and valuable gifts for Hezekiah king of Judah, and from then on he was exalted in the eyes of all nations.
24 Hichephat laisung hin Hezekiah chu ahung dammotan athi kon ahitaan, Pathen komma ataovin ahileh Pathenin nadamdoh ding ahinai atin melchih nakhat apen ahi
In those days Hezekiah became mortally ill. So he prayed to the LORD, who spoke to him and gave him a sign.
25 Ahinlah Hezekiah chu Pakaiyin Judah leh Jerusalem chuleh amachunga thilpha abolpeh ho chunga kipathu seithei loukhop min ahung kiletsah taan hijechun amachung leh Judah le Jerusalem chunga chun Pathen lunghan na ahung chu tan ahi.
But because his heart was proud, Hezekiah did not repay the favor shown to him. Therefore wrath came upon him and upon Judah and Jerusalem.
26 Hiphat chun amaleh Judah te leh Jerusalem miteho nasatah in akisunem mun ahileh Hezekiah hinlai sungin achung'uva hunglhung ding hochu asoh tapon ahi
Then Hezekiah humbled the pride of his heart—he and the people of Jerusalem—so that the wrath of the LORD did not come upon them during the days of Hezekiah.
27 Hezekiah chun neilegou ahaolheh jengtaan jana lentah jong achangin ahi. Aman sana le dangka chuleh song mantam, namtwi ho, ompho holeh thilman tamtah ho koinading dankhat jong asaovin ahi
Hezekiah had very great riches and honor, and he made treasuries for his silver, gold, precious stones, spices, shields, and all kinds of valuable articles.
28 Hiche chung chonnin jong chang le mim, lengpitwi chuleh Olive thao le ganchaho koitup na ding chuleh kelngoi chalho inding akikolkhum agetpeh in ahi
He also made storehouses for the harvest of grain and new wine and oil, stalls for all kinds of livestock, and pens for the flocks.
29 Hicheho banna hin Pathennin kelngoi gancha jatchom chom tamtah leh neile gou tamtah anapen khopi tamtah jong anatun dohsah in ahi
He made cities for himself, and he acquired herds of sheep and cattle in abundance, for God gave him very great wealth.
30 Hichu Hezekiah hin Gihon vadung twilondoh na achungnungjo jongchu ana ting tangin David khopi nilhum lang ngin asuh lonsah in ahi. Hiche Hezekiah hi atoh na lam lammah akhangtou lheh jengin ahi
It was Hezekiah who blocked the upper outlet of the Spring of Gihon and channeled it down to the west side of the City of David. And Hezekiah prospered in all that he did.
31 Babylon khopi lhalheng hon hiche gamsunga thil kidang tah tah sohdoh ho kholtoh dinga ahung u chun Pathennin apatepmin achanglha tan ahi
And so when ambassadors of the rulers of Babylon were sent to him to inquire about the wonder that had happened in the land, God left him alone to test him, that He might know all that was in Hezekiah’s heart.
32 Hezekiah lengpan athil bol jouse leh Pakaija akipeh na ho jouse chu Amos chapa Isaiah gaothilmu hotoh Judah leh Israel lengte thusim kijih na lekhabu a akijih lutsoh keijin ahi
As for the rest of the acts of Hezekiah and his deeds of loving devotion, they are indeed written in the vision of the prophet Isaiah son of Amoz in the Book of the Kings of Judah and Israel.
33 Hezekiah athiphatnin lengte kivuina na lhaan achungnung pa achun avuijun ahi. Judah holeh Jerusalem mipiten athichun jana nasatah anapeovin ahi, Hitichun achapa Manasseh in lengmun alo taan ahi
And Hezekiah rested with his fathers and was buried in the upper tombs of David’s descendants. All Judah and the people of Jerusalem paid him honor at his death. And his son Manasseh reigned in his place.
