And it came to pass, when king Ezekias heard [it, that] he rent his clothes, and put on sackcloth, and went up to the house of the Lord.

To-day is a day of affliction, and reproach, and rebuke, and anger: for the pangs are come upon the travailing [woman], but she has not strength to bring forth.

May the Lord thy God hear the words of Rabsaces, which the king of the Assyrians has sent, to reproach the living God, even to reproach with the words which the Lord thy God has heard: therefore thou shalt pray to thy Lord for these that are left.

So the servants of king Ezekias came to Esaias.

And Esaias said to them, Thus shall ye say to your master, Thus saith the Lord, Be not thou afraid at the words which thou hast heard, wherewith the ambassadors of the king of the Assyrians have reproached me,

Behold, I [will] send a blast upon him, and he shall hear a report, and return to his own country, and he shall fall by the sword in his own land.
8 Hiche phatsung chun, Assyria jalamkai pun Jerusalem dalhan Assyria lengpa, Lachish dalha'a Libnah ana nokhum laichun kijah topi din achen ahi.
So Rabsaces returned, and found the king of the Assyrians besieging Lobna: for he had heard that he had departed from Lachis.

And Tharaca king of the Ethiopians went forth to attack him. And when he heard it, he turned aside, and sent messengers to Ezekias, saying,
10 “Hiche thuhil hi Judah aum leng Hezekiah ding ahi. Assyria lengpan Jerusalem alah joulou ding ahi tia natah san jing na Pathen chu kilheplhah sah hih in.
Thus shall ye say to Ezekias king of Judea, Let not thy God, in whom thou trustest, deceive thee, saying, Jerusalem shall not be delivered into the hand of the king of the Assyrians.
11 Assyria lengten achena jouseu va ipi abolna hechen setnin ahi. Alampiu va asuboi ho jouse jong asumanggam hel un ahi! Nang ipi chom nahi deh ding ham?
Hast thou not heard what the kings of the Assyrians have done, how they have destroyed the whole earth? and shalt thou be delivered?
12 Chidang namdang pathen hon Gojan, Haran, Rezeph chuleh Eden mite Tel-assar a cheng gamho itih a ahuhdoh khah uvem? Kapu kapaten asuhmangsa ahibou uve.
Have the gods of the nations which my fathers destroyed delivered them, both Gozan, and Charrhan, and Rapheth, which are in the land of Theemath?
13 Hamath lengpa leh Arpad lengpa ipi tilhona hitam? Sepharvaim, Hena chuleh Ivvah lengho itiuva hitam?”
Where are the kings of Emath? and where [is the king of] Arphath? and where [is the king] of the city of Eppharuaim, [and of] Anagugana?

And Ezekias received the letter from the messengers, and read it, and went up to the house of the Lord, and opened it before the Lord.
15 Chuin Hezekiah Pakai anga hitihin ataotan ahi:
And Ezekias prayed to the Lord, saying,
16 “Aw Van Janel Pakai, Israel Pathen, vantil thanei holah'a leng changa nahi! Vannoi leiset lenggam jouse chunga Pathen, nangma bou nahi. Vanho leh leiset sem'a nangma bou nahi.
O Lord of hosts, God of Israel, who sittest upon the cherubs, thou alone art the God of every kingdom of the world: thou hast made heaven and earth.
17 Hungkum lhan lang hung ngaijin Aw Pakai! Namit in hin vetan Aw Pakai! Sennacherib in hing jing Pathen douna'a athusei ho hin ngaijin.
Incline thine ear, O Lord, hearken, O Lord; open thine eyes, O Lord, look, O Lord: and behold the words of Sennacherim, which he has sent to reproach the living God.
18 “Adih e, Pakai, Assyria lengten hiche gamho chu ana suhmangu ahi.
For of a truth, Lord, the kings of the Assyrians have laid waste the whole world, and the countries thereof,
19 Chuleh chidang namdang te pathen semthu ho chu meilhum sunga aleh lut nun, ahallha taovin ahi. Ahin, ahimongin Assyria ten song'a kon mihem khutnin asuitoh ahibou vin, Pathen hinaisai lou u ahi.
and have cast their idols into the fire: for, they were no gods, but the work of men's hands, wood and stone; and they have cast them away.
20 Tun, Aw Pakai ka Pathen u, athanei na akonin neihuh doh un; chuleh leiset'a lenggam jousen nangma bou, Aw Pakai, Pathen nahi ahetdiu ahi.”
But now, O Lord our God, deliver us from his hands, that every kingdom of the earth may know that thou art God alone.
21 Hichun Amoz chapa Isaiah in Hezekiah henga hiche thuhil hi athot in: Hiche hi Pakai, Israel Pathen in asei ahi: Assyria lengpa Sennacherib chung changa natao jeh in,
And Esaias the son of Amos was sent to Ezekias, and said to him, Thus saith the Lord, the God of Israel, I have heard thy prayer to me concerning Sennacherim king of the Assyrians.
22 Pakai in hiche thucheng hi ama dounan aseitan ahi: “Zion a nungah theng nun ha kidah in, na nuisat e. Jerusalem chanun najam chu nuisat in alu athinge.
This is the word which God has spoken concerning him; The virgin daughter of Sion has despised thee, and mocked thee; the daughter of Jerusalem has shaken her head at thee.
23 Koiham nahsah louleh nuisat'a nakoi jing chu? Koi douna'a na aw nasan sah ham? Ki hoitho sah tah'a koi na navet ham? Israel Mitheng Pachu ahi!
Whom hast thou reproached and provoked? and against whom hast thou lifted up thy voice? and hast thou not lifted up thine eyes on high against the Holy One of Israel?
24 Na palai ho mangchan Pakai chu nahsahlou vin na nakoije. “Ka sakol kangtalai tamtah mangchan, mol le lhang sangtah ho kana loukhum jouvin ahi,” tin aseije-ahi, Lebanon lhang leh, molchung vum ahi.

Asangpen tah gei kaphan chuleh gammang sunggil ho gei jin ka khol chil soh kei tai.
For thou hast reproached the Lord by messengers; for thou hast said, With the multitude of chariots have I ascended to the height of mountains, and to the sides of Libanus; and I have cropped the height of his cedars and the beauty of his cypresses; and I entered into the height of the forest region:
25 Gamchom mun tamtah'a tuikhuh ho ka laijin, atuija chun keima leh keima kaki sulip jin ahi. Ka kengto'a Egypt vadung ho ka sutangin ahi.
and I have made a bridge, and dried up the waters, and every pool of water.
26 “Ahin na najah khah lou ham? Hiche masanga patna kana gel lhuhsa ahitai. Sotna patna kana gon ahitan, ahin tua hi kalhun sah ahitai. A khopiu kulpi ho songbong kiselom banga na suhchip dinga kana gontup peh ahitai.
Hast thou not heard of these things which I did of old? I appointed [them] from ancient times; but now have I manifested [my purpose] of desolating nations in [their] strong holds, and them that dwell in strong cities.
27 Hijeh a chu amiteu vin tha lhahsam na aneijun, kichat leh lungboi in aum taovin ahi. Hampa bangin alhachom uvin, aum taovin ahi. Hampa bangin alhachom uvin, ajih don doh ho hetman louva kichotpa tobang ahi. Inchung vum'a hampa hung thah dondoh ho tamtah ahung kedoh masanga nisa in akahvoi tobang ahi.
I weakened [their] hands, and they withered; and they became as dry grass on the house-tops, and as grass.
28 Ahin, hoilai nache'a hoilai na um, chuleh itih a na kondoh'a nahung vailhun kahe chen setnin ahi. Ka chunga na lunghan dan jong kahe chen set ne.
But now I know thy rest, and thy going out, and thy coming in.
29 Ka chunga na lunghan jeh leh na hoithona jeh in thihkoi'a na nahkui kahin koiding chuleh sakol kamvo na kam'a kabupeh ding ahi. Na hungna lampi mama achu kakinung le sah ding ahi.”
And thy wrath wherewith thou hast been enraged, and thy rancour has come up to me; therefore I will put a hook in thy nose, and a bit in thy lips, and will turn thee back by the way by which thou camest.
30 Hichun Hezekiah henga Isaiah in aseijin, “Ka thusei adih photchenna chu hiche hi ahi: “Tukum leh amacham'a hung kehdoh hobou naneh ding ahin, akum kit leh hiche'a kon'a hung sohdoh ho naneh ding ahi. Ahin a kumthhum channa leh nangman chang le mim na tua na kikhol tup ding ahi; lengpi lei phate nabol'a agasoh naneh ding ahi.
And this shall be a sign to thee, Eat this year what thou hast sown; and the second year that which is left: and the third year sow, and reap, and plant vineyards, and eat the fruit of them.
31 Chuleh Judah a kidalha galmite a kon'a sohcha jouse na leiset noi langa jung hinkholet untin, chuleh ninglhing setna hung khanglen diu ahi.
And they that are left in Judea shall take root downward, and bear fruit upward:
32 Ajehchu kamite amoh chengse chu Jerusalem'a konin hung potdoh untinm chuleh asohcha ahing cheng chu Zion lhanga kon'a hung potdoh diu ahi. Van janel Pakai tomngainan hiche hi atah'a ahin sosah ding ahi!
for out of Jerusalem there shall be a remnant, and the saved ones out of mount Sion: the zeal of the Lord of hosts shall perform this.
33 Chuleh Assyria lengpa chunchanga Pakai in hitin aseije: “Agalsat sepai ho Jerusalem lutlou diu ahi. Thel changkhat jong alhalut loudiu ahi. Kidalna pho pum'a akot mai dunga kijot le lou diu, chuleh abangho dung'a jong leipal asetlou diu ahi.
Therefore thus saith the Lord concerning the king of the Assyrians, He shall not enter into this city, nor cast a weapon against it, nor bring a shield against it, nor make a rampart round it.
34 Lengpa jong ahungna lampi mama'a agam'a kinung lekit ding ahi. Ama chu khopi lutlou ding ahi, tin Pakai in aseije.
But by the way by which he came, by it shall he return, and shall not enter into this city: thus saith the Lord.
35 'Ajehchu keima jal le, kasohpa David jal'a, hiche khopi hi kahonbit na ka ventup ding ahi.”
I will protect this city to save it for my own sake, and for my servant David's sake.
36 Hiche jan Pakai vantil chu Assyria te ngahmun'a achen, Assyria sepai mi sang jakhat leh sang somget leh nga athatnin ahi. Assyria mi asohcha honkhat jingkah ahung kithophat un muntina thilong amutaovin ahi.
And the angel of the Lord went forth, and slew out of the camp of the Assyrians a hundred and eighty-five thousand: and they arose in the morning and found all [these] bodies dead.
37 Hichun Assyria lengpa Sennacherib chun ngahmun chu asusen agam'a akinung letai. A in lama achen, Nineveh khopi achun a umtan ahi.
And Sennacherim king of the Assyrians turned and departed, and dwelt in Nineve.
38 Nikhat a pathen Nisroch ahoupet nin, achapa teni Adrammelech leh Sharezer in achemjam lhona ana that lhon tan ahi. Hichun anigel lhonin Ararat gam'a ana jam lhon tan, achapa holah a khat Esarhaddon chu Assyria lengin apantan ahi.
And while he was worshipping Nasarach his country's god in the house, Adramelech and Sarasar his sons smote him with swords; and they escaped into Armenia: and Asordan his son reigned in his stead.
