1Hezekiah loe hmuennawk boih kacakah sak pacoengah, Assyria siangpahrang Senakherib mah Judah prae to tuk hanah a caeh; sipae hoi thungh ih vangpuinawk to ka tuh pazawk tih, tiah poek pongah anih mah vangpui to takui.
1After 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.
2Jerusalem tuk hanah, Senakherib angzoh boeh, tiah Hezekiah mah panoek naah,
2When Hezekiah saw that Sennacherib had come to make war against Jerusalem,
3angmah ih angraengnawk hoi misatuh angraengnawk khaeah, vangpui tasa bang ih tuipuek to khah khoep hanah lokram o, nihcae mah Hezekiah to abomh o.
3he consulted with his leaders and commanders about stopping up the waters of the springs outside the city, and they helped him carry it out.
4Paroeai kaminawk nawnto amkhueng o moe, Assyria siangpahrangnawk angzoh o naah, pop parai tui to a hnuk o han ai ah, prae thungah kalong tuipueknawk hoi vacongtanawk to pakaa khoep si, tiah a thuih o.
4Many 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.
5Hezekiah loe angmah hoi angmah to thacaksak moe, kamro sipaenawk boih to pakhraih; misatoephaih imsangnawk to a sak moe, kaom tangcae sipae pacoengah tasa bangah kalah sipae maeto a sak let; David vangpui ah Millo, tiah kawk ih misa abuephaih ahmuen to kacakah sak pacoengah, kalii hoi misa angvaenghaih aphawnawk doeh a sak.
5Then 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.
6Kaminawk uk hanah misatuh angraengnawk to a suek moe, vangpui akunhaih khongkha longhmaa ah amkhuengsak pacoengah, nihcae khaeah thapaekhaih lok a thuih pae.
6Hezekiah appointed military commanders over the people and gathered the people in the square of the city gate. Then he encouraged them, saying,
7Na thacak o sak ah loe, misahoih oh; Assyria siangpahrang hoi anih ih pop parai misatuh kaminawk to zii o hmah, tha doeh sae o sak hmah; anih khaeah kaom kami pongah loe aicae khaeah kaom to pop kue.
7“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.
8Nihcae loe bantha cakhaih khue ni tawnh o; toe aicae khaeah loe aicae to abomh moe, aicae ih misa tuk hanah, aicae ih Angraeng Sithaw to a tawnh o, tiah a naa. Judah siangpahrang Hezekiah mah thuih ih lok pongah kaminawk loe tha oh o.
8With 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.
9Hae hmuen oh pacoengah, Assyria siangpahrang Senakherib ih misatuh kaminawk mah Lakhish vangpui to takui o; a tamnanawk loe Jerusalem vangpui, Judah siangpahrang Hezekiah hoi to ah kaom Judah kaminawk boih khaeah patoeh moe,
9Later, 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:
10Assyria siangpahrang Senakherib mah, Nangcae loe mi maw nang oep o moe, takui khoep ih Jerusalem vangpui thungah patang na khang o?
10“This is what Sennacherib king of Assyria says: What is the basis of your confidence, that you remain in Jerusalem under siege?
11Hezekiah mah, Aicae Angraeng Sithaw mah Assyria siangpahrang ban thung hoiah na loisak tih, tiah zok kamthlam, tui kanghae ah dueksak han ih ang zoek o na ai maw?
11Is 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?’
12Hezekiah loe angmah ih hmuensang hoi hmaicamnawk to lak ving moe, Judahnawk hoi Jerusalem kaminawk khaeah, Hmaicam maeto hmaa khue ah Sithaw to bok oh, to hmaicam nuiah hmuihoih to thlaek oh, tiah ang thuih o na ai maw?
12Did 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’?
13Kai hoi kam panawk mah prae kalah kaminawk nuiah sak ih hmuennawk to na panoek o ai maw? Kalah prae ih sithawnawk mah, ka ban thung hoiah angmacae ih kaminawk to loih o sak vai maw?
13Do 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?
14Kam panawk mah phraek ih kalah praenawk ih sithawnawk thungah, kawbaktih sithaw maw ka ban thung hoiah angmah ih prae to loisak vaih? Kawbangmaw nangcae ih sithaw mah ka ban thung hoiah nangcae to loisak thai tih?
14Who 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?
15Vaihi Hezekiah mah na ling o hmah nasoe loe, hae tiah loklam amkhraeng haih hmah nasoe, anih to tang o hmah; kawbaktih prae ih sithaw mah doeh ka ban hoi kam panawk ih ban thung hoiah angmacae ih kaminawk to loih o sak thai ai, nangcae ih Sithaw mah cae loe kawbangmaw ka ban thung hoiah na loih o sak tih? tiah a naa.
15So 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!”
16Senakherib ih tamnanawk mah Angraeng Sithaw hoi anih ih tamna Hezekiah to kasae thuih o.
16And the servants of Sennacherib spoke further against the LORD God and against His servant Hezekiah.
17Senakherib mah Israel Angraeng Sithaw to kasae thuih moe, Prae kalah kaminawk ih sithawnawk mah ka ban thung hoiah angmacae kaminawk to pahlong o ai baktih toengah, Hezekiah ih Sithaw mah doeh ka ban thung hoiah angmacae ih kaminawk to pahlong mak ai, tiah ca tarik.
17He 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.”
18Sipae nuiah kaom Jerusalem kaminawk to zitsak moe, raihaih paek pacoengah vangpui to lak thai hanah, tha hoi hangh moe, Hebru lok hoiah a thuih.
18Then 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.
19Kami ban hoi sak ih long ah kaom prae kalah kaminawk ih sithawnawk to kasae a thuih baktih toengah, Jerusalem Sithaw doeh kasae a thuih o.
19They spoke against the God of Jerusalem as they had spoken against the gods of the peoples of the earth—the work of human hands.
20Hae tiah oh pongah Hezekiah siangpahrang hoi Amos capa tahmaa Isaiah mah van khaeah lawkthuih hoi.
20In response, King Hezekiah and the prophet Isaiah son of Amoz cried out to heaven in prayer,
21To naah Angraeng mah van kami maeto patoeh moe, anih mah thacak misatuh kaminawk, Assyria siangpahrang ohhaih im ih, ukkungnawk hoi misatuh angraengnawk to hum king. To naah Senakherib loe azathaih hoiah angmah prae ah amlaem. Anih angmah ih sithaw imthung ah akun naah, thoemto a capanawk mah sumsen hoiah anih to hum o moe, duek.
21and 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.
22Angraeng mah Hezekiah hoi Jerusalem ah kaom kaminawk to Assyria siangpahrang Sennakherib hoi kalah kaminawk boih ih ban thung hoiah pahlong; kalah misanawk ban thung hoiah doeh nihcae to pakaa.
22So 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.
23Paroeai kaminawk loe Angraeng hanah Jerusalem vangpui ah hmuenmaenawk to sin o moe, Judah siangpahrang Hezekiah hanah doeh tangqumnawk to sin pae o, to na ni hoi kamtong prae kalah kaminawk boih mah Hezekiah to khingyahaih paek o.
23Many 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.
24To nathuem ah Hezekiah loe ngannat moe, duek hanah oh sut; anih loe Angraeng khaeah lawkthuih, to naah Angraeng mah ngan na tui let tih, tiah angmathaih maeto paek.
24In those days Hezekiah became mortally ill. So he prayed to the LORD, who spoke to him and gave him a sign.
25Toe Hezekiah loe poekhaih palungthin paroeai sang, anih hanah Angraeng mah sak pae ih hmuennawk nuiah kawnhaih lawkthuih han koeh ai; to pongah Angraeng loe Hezekiah nuiah khue ai, Judah hoi Jerusalem kaminawk nuiah doeh palungphui.
25But because his heart was proud, Hezekiah did not repay the favor shown to him. Therefore wrath came upon him and upon Judah and Jerusalem.
26Toe hnukkhuem ah Hezekiah loe Jerusalem ih kaminawk hoi nawnto dawnpakhuemhaih tawnh pongah, Hezekiah hing nathung Angraeng palungphuihaih nihcae nuiah pha ai.
26Then 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.
27Hezekiah loe paroeai angraeng, kaminawk mah anih to khingya o. Anih mah sumkanglung, sui, atho kana thlungnawk, hmuihoih hmuennawk, aphawnawk hoi atho kana thlung congcanawk suekhaih im to sak;
27Hezekiah had very great riches and honor, and he made treasuries for his silver, gold, precious stones, spices, shields, and all kinds of valuable articles.
28cang suekhaih im, misurtui suekhaih im hoi situi suekhaih imnawk to a sak, pacah ih moinawk paunghaih imnawk hoi tuu suekhaih imnawk doeh a sak.
28He also made storehouses for the harvest of grain and new wine and oil, stalls for all kinds of livestock, and pens for the flocks.
29Sithaw mah Hezekiah to paroeai lensawk sak, anih hanah vangpuinawk to a sak pae moe, tuu hoi maitawnawk paroeai a tawnh.
29He made cities for himself, and he acquired herds of sheep and cattle in abundance, for God gave him very great wealth.
30Hezekiah loe Gihon ranui ih tui to pakaa moe, David vangpui niduem bangah longsak; a sak ih hmuennawk boih ah hmacawn.
30It 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.
31Toe prae thungah kaom Sithaw mah paek ih dawnrai hmuen to dueng hanah, Babylon ukkungnawk mah anih khaeah laicaeh to patoeh naah, Hezekiah to tanoek moe, oepthok ah oh maw, om ai tiah panoek hanah, a koeh baktiah Sithaw mah ohsak.
31And 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.
32Hezekiah siangpahrang toksakhaih hoi a sak ih kahoih hmuennawk loe Judah hoi Israel siangpahrangnawk ih cabu thung hoi Amos capa tahmaa Isaiah khaeah paek ih hnuksakhaih cabu thungah doeh tarik o.
32As 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.
33Hezekiah loe ampanawk khaeah anghak moe, David caanawk taprong thung ih kahoih koek taprong ah aphum o; a duek naah Judah kaminawk hoi Jerusalem ih kaminawk boih mah anih to pakoeh o. Anih zuengah a capa Manasseh mah prae to uk.
33And 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.
