¹And it came to pass, when king Hezekiah heard it, that he rent his clothes, and covered himself with sackcloth, and went into the house of the LORD.

¹Nak quirabi li cßaßru quixye lix reyeb laj Asiria, li rey Ezequías quixpej li rakß ut quixqßue li kßes ru tßicr chirix retalil lix rahil xchßôl ut cô saß lix templo li Kâcuaß.

²And he sent Eliakim, who was over the household, and Shebna the scribe, and the elders of the priests covered with sackcloth, unto Isaiah the prophet the son of Amoz.

²Ut quixtaklaheb riqßuin li profeta Isaías li ralal laj Amoz laj Eliaquim li na-iloc re li palacio rochben laj Sebna laj tzßîb, joß eb ajcuiß li nequeßcßamoc be saß xyânkeb laj tij. Cuan li kßes ru tßicr chirixeb nak queßcôeb.

³And they said unto him, Thus saith Hezekiah, This day is a day of trouble, and of rebuke, and of blasphemy: for the children are come to the birth, and there is not strength to bring forth.

³Queßxye re laj Isaías: —Aßan aßin li naxye laj Ezequías. Chiru li cutan aßin yôco chi cßuluc raylal xban li mâc xkabânu. Yôqueb chikamajecuanquil li xicß nequeßiloc ke ut yôqueb chikahobbal. Yôco chi cßuluc raylal. Chanchano jun li ixk oc re chi qßuirâc ut mâcßaß chic xmetzßêu.

⁴It may be the LORD thy God will hear the words of Rabshakeh, whom the king of Assyria his master hath sent to reproach the living God, and will reprove the words which the LORD thy God hath heard: wherefore lift up thy prayer for the remnant that is left.

⁴Lix reyeb laj Asiria quixtakla laj Rabsaces chixhobbal li yoßyôquil Dios. Mâre xrabi ajcuiß li Kâcuaß lâ Dios ut tixqßue taxak chixtojbal xmâc li ani xhoboc re. Chattijok chirixeb li katenamit li joß qßuial chic xeßcana.—

⁵So the servants of king Hezekiah came to Isaiah.

⁵Eb li nequeßcßanjelac chiru laj Ezequías queßcuulac riqßuin laj Isaías.

⁶And Isaiah said unto them, Thus shall ye say unto your master, Thus saith the LORD, Be not afraid of the words that thou hast heard, wherewith the servants of the king of Assyria have blasphemed me.

⁶Ut laj Isaías quixye reheb: —Joßcaßin têye re laj Ezequías. “Li Kâcuaß naxye âcue nak incßaß tatxucuak xban li cßaßru nequeßxye êre. Matxucuac xban li cßaßru xeßxye re inmajecuanquil eb li nequeßcßanjelac chiru lix reyeb laj Asiria.

⁷Behold, I will send a blast upon him, and he shall hear a rumour, and return to his own land; and I will cause him to fall by the sword in his own land.

⁷Lâin tintakla jun esilal. Nak lix reyeb laj Asiria târabi, tâxucuak ut tâxic cuißchic saß xtenamit. Nak ac cuânk chic saß xtenamit, tâcamsîk chi chßîchß,” chan li Kâcuaß.

⁸So Rabshakeh returned, and found the king of Assyria warring against Libnah: for he had heard that he was departed from Lachish.

⁸Nak quisukßi Laquis, laj Rabsaces quirabi resil nak li rey mâ ani. Cô ut quixtau li rey nak yô chi pletic riqßuineb laj Libna.

⁹And he heard say concerning Tirhakah king of Ethiopia, He is come forth to make war with thee. And when he heard it, he sent messengers to Hezekiah, saying,

⁹Li rey Senaquerib quirabi resil nak laj Tirhaca lix reyeb laj Etiopía quichal chi pletic riqßuineb. Joßcan nak quixtakla cuißchic lix takl riqßuin laj Ezequías.

¹⁰Thus shall ye speak to Hezekiah king of Judah, saying, Let not thy God, in whom thou trustest, deceive thee, saying, Jerusalem shall not be given into the hand of the king of Assyria.

¹⁰Quixye reheb lix takl: —Joßcaßin têye re laj Ezequías lix reyeb laj Judá. “Mâqßue âcuib chixbalakßi li Dios li cßojcßo cuiß âchßôl nak tixye âcue nak Jerusalén incßaß tâkßaxtesîk saß cuukß lâin lix reyeb laj Asiria.

¹¹Behold, thou hast heard what the kings of Assyria have done to all lands by destroying them utterly; and shalt thou be delivered?

¹¹Lâat nacanau cßaßru nequeßxbânu lix reyeb laj Asiria. Nequeßxsach ruheb chi junaj cua chixjunileb li tenamit li nequeßpletic riqßuin. ¿Ma texcolekß ta biß lâex saß cuukß lâin?

¹²Have the gods of the nations delivered them which my fathers have destroyed, as Gozan, and Haran, and Rezeph, and the children of Eden which were in Telassar?

¹²Eb lin xeßtônil yucuaß queßxsach ruheb li tenamit Gozán, Harán, Resef, joß eb ajcuiß li ralal xcßajol laj Edén li queßcuan Telasar. ¿Ma queßcoleß ta biß li tenamit aßan xban lix dioseb?

¹³Where is the king of Hamath, and the king of Arphad, and the king of the city of Sepharvaim, Hena, and Ivah?

¹³¿Ma cuan ta biß xcuanquil lix reyeb laj Hamat, lix reyeb laj Arfad, lix reyeb laj Sefarvaim, Hena ut Iva?” chan laj Senaquerib.

¹⁴And Hezekiah received the letter from the hand of the messengers, and read it: and Hezekiah went up unto the house of the LORD, and spread it before the LORD.

¹⁴Laj Ezequías quixcßul li hu riqßuineb lix takl laj Asiria ut quiril cßaßru naxye. Chirix aßan cô saß rochoch li Kâcuaß Dios ut quixqßue li hu chi teto chiru li Kâcuaß Dios.

¹⁵And Hezekiah prayed unto the LORD, saying,

¹⁵Quitijoc chiru li Kâcuaß ut quixye chi joßcaßin:

¹⁶O LORD of hosts, God of Israel, that dwellest between the cherubims, thou art the God, even thou alone, of all the kingdoms of the earth: thou hast made heaven and earth.

¹⁶—At nimajcual Dios, lâat lix Dioseb laj Israel. Cuancat saß xyiheb li querubines. Caßaj cuiß lâat li tzßakal Dios. Lâat cuan âcuanquil saß xbêneb chixjunileb li cuanqueb xcuanquil saß ruchichßochß. Lâat catyîban re li choxa ut li ruchichßochß.

¹⁷Incline thine ear, O LORD, and hear; open thine eyes, O LORD, and see: and hear all the words of Sennacherib, which hath sent to reproach the living God.

¹⁷At Kâcuaß, chinâcuabi. Chacuil li cßaßru yôco chixcßulbal. At Kâcuaß, chacuabi li râtin xtakla chak cue laj Senaquerib. Yô châmajecuanquil lâat, li yoßyôquil Dios.

¹⁸Of a truth, LORD, the kings of Assyria have laid waste all the nations, and their countries,

¹⁸At Kâcuaß Dios, relic chi yâl nak lix reyeb laj Asiria queßxsach chixjunileb li tenamit ut queßxcanab chi nayamnac ru li naßajej.

¹⁹And have cast their gods into the fire: for they were no gods, but the work of men's hands, wood and stone: therefore they have destroyed them.

¹⁹Queßxcßat chixjunileb lix dioseb xban nak moco tzßakal dioseb ta. Yal pec ut yal cheß yîbanbileb xbaneb li cuînk. Joßcan nak queßsacheß.

²⁰Now therefore, O LORD our God, save us from his hand, that all the kingdoms of the earth may know that thou art the LORD, even thou only.

²⁰Anakcuan ut at Kâcuaß, at kaDios, nakatzßâma châcuu nak choâcol chiruheb laj Asiria re nak chixjunileb li cuanqueb xcuanquil saß ruchichßochß teßxnau nak lâat li Kâcuaß Dios ut mâ ani chic junak dios cuan. Caßaj cuiß lâat, chan laj Ezequías.

²¹Then Isaiah the son of Amoz sent unto Hezekiah, saying, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, Whereas thou hast prayed to me against Sennacherib king of Assyria:

²¹Ut li profeta Isaías quixtakla xyebal re li rey Ezequías li cßaßru quixye li Kâcuaß. Quixye re: —At rey, aßan aßin li naxye âcue li Kâcuaß lix Dioseb laj Israel. Lâin xcuabi li cßaßru xatzßâma chicuu chirix laj Senaquerib lix reyeb laj Asiria.

²²This is the word which the LORD hath spoken concerning him; The virgin, the daughter of Zion, hath despised thee, and laughed thee to scorn; the daughter of Jerusalem hath shaken her head at thee.

²²Li cuanqueb saß li tenamit Jerusalén chanchan jun li tukß ix yô châseßenquil ut yô châhobbal, at Senaquerib. Li cuanqueb saß tenamit Jerusalén nequeßrecßasi lix jolomeb châhobbal nak yôcat chi êlelic.

²³Whom hast thou reproached and blasphemed? and against whom hast thou exalted thy voice, and lifted up thine eyes on high? even against the Holy One of Israel.

²³¿Ani li xahob ut ani li xamajecua? ¿Ani li xataksi âcuâtin saß xbên ut xakßetkßeti âcuib chiru? Aßan lâin li Kâcuaß lix Santil Dioseb laj Israel.

²⁴By thy servants hast thou reproached the Lord, and hast said, By the multitude of my chariots am I come up to the height of the mountains, to the sides of Lebanon; and I will cut down the tall cedars thereof, and the choice fir trees thereof: and I will enter into the height of his border, and the forest of his Carmel.

²⁴Xataklaheb lâ takl chinhobbal, lâin li Dios, ut xaye: “Riqßuin lin qßuila carruaje re pletic xintakeß saß eb li nînki tzûl. Toj saß xbêneb li tzûl re Líbano li najt xteram xintakeß. Xinyocß li nînki cheß chacalteß. Ut xintßaneb ajcuiß li ciprés li raro xbaneb. Xincuulac toj saß li qßuicheß li cßajoß xchßinaßusal.

²⁵I have digged, and drunk water; and with the sole of my feet have I dried up all the rivers of the besieged places.

²⁵Xinbec xjulel li haß saß jalan tenamit ut xcuucß li haß x-el aran. Riqßuin li cuok xinqßueheb chi chakic li nimaß li cuanqueb Egipto,” chancat.

²⁶Hast thou not heard long ago, how I have done it; and of ancient times, that I have formed it? now have I brought it to pass, that thou shouldest be to lay waste defenced cities into ruinous heaps.

²⁶¿Ma incßaß ta biß nacanau nak lâin li Kâcuaß? Lâin quincßoxlan re chixjunil li tâcßulmânk. Najter kße cutan lâin quicßûb chak ru chanru tâuxmânk. Ut anakcuan lâin xatincanab chixsachbal ruheb li tenamit li cauheb rib chi pletic. Tûbtu aj chic xacanabeb nak xapoßeb.

²⁷Therefore their inhabitants were of small power, they were dismayed and confounded: they were as the grass of the field, and as the green herb, as the grass on the housetops, and as corn blasted before it be grown up.

²⁷Eb li tenamit li cuanqueb aran mâcßaßeb xmetzßêu. Nequeßxucuac ut sachsôqueb xnaßleb. Chanchaneb li raxi pim. Chanchaneb li pim li namok saß xbêneb cab, li nachakic nak toj mâjiß nachêcoß.

²⁸But I know thy abode, and thy going out, and thy coming in, and thy rage against me.

²⁸Lâin ninnau chanru nak cuancat. Ninnau chixjunil li cßaßru nacabânu. Ut ninnau ajcuiß nak cßajoß lâ joskßil cuiqßuin.

²⁹Because thy rage against me, and thy tumult, is come up into mine ears, therefore will I put my hook in thy nose, and my bridle in thy lips, and I will turn thee back by the way by which thou camest.

²⁹Xban nak ninnau nak yô âjoskßil ut xakßetkßeti âcuib chicuu, joßcan nak lâin tinram lê be. Chanchan nak tinqßue jun li chßîchß saß lâ cuußuj ut jun li chßîchß saß âcue. Ut tatinqßue cuißchic chi sukßîc saß li xatchal cuiß chak, chan li Kâcuaß.

³⁰And this shall be a sign unto thee, Ye shall eat this year such as groweth of itself; and the second year that which springeth of the same: and in the third year sow ye, and reap, and plant vineyards, and eat the fruit thereof.

³⁰Ut laj Isaías quixye re laj Ezequías: —Aßan aßin li retalil li cßaßru tâcßulmânk. Saß li chihab aßin ut saß li chihab tâchâlk lâex têtzaca li ru li trigo li namok yal xjunes. Abanan saß li rox chihab lâex tex-âuk ut texkßolok re nak textzacânk. Têrau lê uvas ut têtzaca li ru li naxqßue.

³¹And the remnant that is escaped of the house of Judah shall again take root downward, and bear fruit upward:

³¹Eb li ralal xcßajol laj Judá li incßaß teßcâmk teßtâmk cuißchic. Chanchanakeb li acuîmk li naxchap xxeß ut naxqßue li ru chi nabal.

³²For out of Jerusalem shall go forth a remnant, and they that escape out of mount Zion: the zeal of the LORD of hosts shall do this.

³²Cuanqueb li ralal xcßajol laj Judá li teßcanâk aran Jerusalén. Saß li tzûl Sión teßcanâk. Joßcan tâcßulmânk xban nak joßcan naraj li Kâcuaß xban xnimal xrahom.

³³Therefore thus saith the LORD concerning the king of Assyria, He shall not come into this city, nor shoot an arrow there, nor come before it with shields, nor cast a bank against it.

³³Li Kâcuaß Dios naxye chi joßcaßin chirix lix reyeb laj Asiria, “Li cuînk aßan incßaß tâoc saß li tenamit Jerusalén chi pletic chi moco riqßuin tzimaj, chi moco riqßuin chßîchß, chi moco tixyîb lix taklebâl re tâoc saß li tenamit.

³⁴By the way that he came, by the same shall he return, and shall not come into this city, saith the LORD.

³⁴Saß li be li xchal cuiß, aran cuißchic tâsukßîk. Incßaß tâoc saß li tenamit Jerusalén. Lâin li Kâcuaß ninyehoc re aßin.

³⁵For I will defend this city to save it for mine own sake, and for my servant David's sake.

³⁵Lâin tin-ilok re li tenamit ut lâin ajcuiß tincolok re. Tinbânu aßin saß incßabaß lâin ut saß xcßabaß laj David li quicßanjelac chicuu” chan li Kâcuaß.—

³⁶Then the angel of the LORD went forth, and smote in the camp of the Assyrians a hundred and fourscore and five thousand: and when they arose early in the morning, behold, they were all dead corpses.

³⁶Saß ajcuiß li kßojyîn aßan jun x-ángel li Dios quicuulac saß xmuhebâleb laj Asiria ut quixcamsiheb jun ciento riqßuin ôb roxcßâl mil chi soldado aj Asiria. Joß cuulajak chic nak quisakêu, ac camenakeb chic chixjunileb.

³⁷So Sennacherib king of Assyria departed, and went and returned, and dwelt at Nineveh.

³⁷Ut laj Senaquerib lix reyeb laj Asiria quisukßi saß lix tenamit Nínive ut aran quicana.Saß jun li cutan laj Senaquerib yô chi lokßonînc saß lix templo laj Nisroc lix dios.

Ut aß chic laj Esar-hadón li ralal qui-oc chokß rey chokß rêkaj laj Senaquerib.

³⁸And it came to pass, as he was worshipping in the house of Nisroch his god, that Adrammelech and Sharezer his sons smote him with the sword; and they escaped into the land of Armenia: and Esarhaddon his son reigned in his stead.

³⁸Saß jun li cutan laj Senaquerib yô chi lokßonînc saß lix templo laj Nisroc lix dios. Queßcuulac laj Adramelec ut laj Sarezer, li cuib chi ralal. Queßxcamsi chi chßîchß ut queßêlelic. Queßcôeb saß li naßajej Ararat. Ut aß chic laj Esar-hadón li ralal qui-oc chokß rey chokß rêkaj laj Senaquerib.
