1He oltak olka hnukah tah Assyria manghai Sennacherib tah cet tih Judah la pawk. Te vaengah khopuei vong cak rhoek te a rhaeh thil tih amah hut la ka muk eh a ti.
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.
2A mikhmuh ah caemtloek ham Jerusalem la Sennacherib a pawk te Hezekiah loh a hmuh.
2When Hezekiah saw that Sennacherib had come to make war against Jerusalem,
3Te dongah a mangpa rhoek neh a hlangrhalh rhoek taengah khopuei rhamvoel kah tuiphuet tui te mak hamla a uen tih a bom uh.
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.
4Te dongah pilnam te muep tingtun tih tuisih boeih neh khohmuen khui la aka long soklong khaw a mak uh. Te vaengah, “Balae tih Assyria manghai rhoek ha pawk uh vetih tui muep a hmuh uh mai eh?” a ti uh.
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.
5Te phoeiah thaa a huel uh tih vongtung aka puut boeih te a biing uh. Rhaltoengim so neh a tloe vongtung rhamvoel hil a hil tih David khopuei kah vaikhap te a moem. Pumcumnah neh photling khaw a cungkuem la a saii.
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.
6Pilnam soah caemtloek mangpa rhoek a khueh tih amih te khopuei vongka toltung ah amah taengla a coi. Te vaengah amih thinko ah a thui pah tih,
6Hezekiah appointed military commanders over the people and gathered the people in the square of the city gate. Then he encouraged them, saying,
7Thaahuel uh lamtah namning uh, Assyria manghai mikhmuh ah rhih uh boeh, rhihyawp uh boeh. Te lamloh anih taengah hlangping loh cungkuem mai cakhaw anih taengkah lakah mamih taengkah he ping ngai.
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.
8Anih taengah pumsa kah bantha ni a om. Mamih taengah tah mamih kah Pathen BOEIPA he mamih aka bom ham neh mamih kah caemtloeknah te aka vathoh puei la om coeng,” a ti nah. Te dongah Judah manghai Hezekiah ol lamloh pilnam khaw duel uh thae.
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.
9A hnukah tah Assyria manghai Sennacherib loh a sal rhoek te Jerusalem la a tueih. Te vaengah anih te amah taengkah a khohung boeih neh Lakhish imdan ah Judah manghai Hezekiah neh Jerusalem kah Judah boeih te a pai thil.
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:
10Te vaengah, “Assyria manghai Sennacherib loh he ni a thui. Me dongah nim na pangtung uh tih Jerusalem kah vongup ah kho na sak uh?
10“This is what Sennacherib king of Assyria says: What is the basis of your confidence, that you remain in Jerusalem under siege?
11Hezekiah loh nangmih te m'vueh moenih a? Khokha neh tuihalh ah duek sak hamla nangmih m'voeih tih, 'Mamih kah Pathen BOEIPA loh, mamih he Assyria manghai kut lamkah n'huul bitni,’ a ti.
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?’
12A hmuensang neh a hmueihtuk aka khoe khaw Hezekiah amah moenih a? Te vaengah Judah taeng neh Jerusalem taengah a uen tih, 'Hmueihtuk pakhat hmai bueng ah ni na bakop uh vetih te soah ni na phum eh?,’ a ti.
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 neh a pa loh khohmuen pilnam boeih taengah ka saii te na ming pawt nim? Khohmuen namtom pathen rhoek loh, a khohmuen te kai kut lamloh a huul ham coeng rhoe coeng ve nim?
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?
14Kai napa rhoek loh a thup namtom pathen rhoek boeih soah unim aka om? A pilnam te ka kut lamloh huul hamla unim aka coeng thai eh? Kai kut lamloh nangmih huul hamla nangmih kah Pathen te coeng thai aya?
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?
15Tahae ah nangmih te Hezekiah loh n'rhaithi boel saeh lamtah he tlam he nangmih te m'vuet boel saeh. Anih te tangnah uh boeh. Namtom neh ram boeih pathen boeih long pataeng ka kut lamkah neh a pa rhoek kut lamloh a pilnam a huul ham a noeng moenih. Nangmih kah Pathen loh nangmih te ka kut lamloh n'huul mahpawh,” a ti nah.
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!”
16A sal rhoek khaw Pathen BOEIPA taeng neh BOEIPA kah sal Hezekiah taengah cal uh pueng.
16And the servants of Sennacherib spoke further against the LORD God and against His servant Hezekiah.
17Israel Pathen BOEIPA te veet hamla cabu a daek uh tih a taengah cal uh. Diklai namtom kah pathen rhoek loh ka kut lamkah a pilnam a huul pawt bangla, Hezekiah kah Pathen loh a pilnam te ka kut lamkah huul mahpawh,” a ti uh.
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.”
18Amih hih ham neh amih te let sak ham, khopuei te duep hamla vongtung sokah Jerusalem pilnam te Judah ol neh a len la a doek uh.
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.
19Jerusalem kah Pathen te hlang kut dongkah bisai, diklai pilnam kah pathen kawng bangla a thui uh.
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.
20He kongah manghai Hezekiah neh tonghma Amoz capa Isaiah tah thangthui tih vaan a khue rhoi.
20In response, King Hezekiah and the prophet Isaiah son of Amoz cried out to heaven in prayer,
21Te dongah BOEIPA loh puencawn a tueih tih Assyria manghai rhaehhmuen kah tatthai hlangrhalh boeih neh mangpa rhaengsang rhoek te a thup pah. Te dongah amah khohmuen la maelhmai yahpohnah neh mael tih amah pathen im la pawk. Te vaengah a cakhueh neh a ko khui lamkah a cakhueh loh anih te cunghang dongah hnap cungku uh.
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.
22BOEIPA loh Hezekiah neh Jerusalem khosa rhoek te Assyria manghai Sennacherib kut lamkah khaw, a cungkuem kut lamkah khaw a khang tangloeng tih a kaepvai ah amih te a khool.
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.
23Te dongah BOEIPA ham khocang neh Judah manghai Hezekiah ham kawnthen khaw Jerusalem la muep a pawk pah. Te dongah a hnuk lamloh namtom cungkuem kah mikhmuh ah a phueih.
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.
24Te vaeng tue ah Hezekiah te a duek ham duela tlo. Te dongah BOEIPA taengah a thangthui hatah anih te a doo tih a taengah kopoekrhai pakhat a paek.
24In those days Hezekiah became mortally ill. So he prayed to the LORD, who spoke to him and gave him a sign.
25Tedae a sokah a tiing la Hezekiah loh a thuung pawt dongah a lungbuei a sang sak. Te dongah anih so neh Judah, Jerusalem soah thinhulnah om.
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.
26Te phoeiah tah a lungbuei a sang khui lamloh Hezekiah amah neh Jerusalem khosa rhoek khaw kunyun tih Hezekiah tue vaengah tah BOEIPA kah thinhulnah loh amih thoeng thil pawh.
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 taengah khuehtawn khaw om tih thangpomnah neh muep rhoeng. Te dongah amah loh cak ham neh sui ham khaw, lung vang ham neh botui ham khaw, photling ham neh sahnaih hnopai cungkuem ham khaw thakvoh a saii.
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.
28Canghum cangpai, misur thai neh situi ham rhuengim khaw, rhamsa saelhung boeih neh tuvong khuikah tuping ham khaw im 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.
29Pathen loh anih te khuehtawn muep a paek khungdaeng dongah amah ham khopuei a saii tih saelrhoi boiva neh saelhung khaw a cungkuem la a det.
29He made cities for himself, and he acquired herds of sheep and cattle in abundance, for God gave him very great wealth.
30Hezekiah amah loh Gihon tui hnun te a soah a ueng tih David khopuei kah khotlak hil a dang la a hlawn. Hezekiah tah a cungkuem dongah a bibi khaw a thaihtak pah.
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.
31Tedae khohmuen ah aka thoeng kopoekrhai kawng dawt ham te Babylon mangpa rhoek loh a taengla hmuiyoi a tueih vaengah tah anih te noemcai ham neh, a thinko khuikah boeih te ming hamla Pathen loh anih te a hnoo.
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 kah ol noi neh a sitlohnah te tonghma Amoz capa Isaiah kah mangthui khuiah khaw, Judah neh Israel manghai rhoek kah cabu khuiah khaw a daek uh.
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 te a napa rhoek taengla a khoem uh vaengah tah anih te David koca rhoek kah phuel tangkham ah a up uh. A dueknah hnin ah anih te Judah pum neh Jerusalem khosa rhoek loh thangpomnah a saii uh. Te phoeiah tah a capa Manasseh te anih yueng la manghai.
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.
