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.

¹Huan, hichi ahi a, kumpipa Hezekiain huai a jak takin a puansilhte a botkeka, saiip puan a silha, TOUPA inah a lutta.

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.

²Huan, a inkuanpihte tunga heutu-a om Eliakim leh, laigelhmi Shebna leh, siampute upate saiip puan silhin Amoz tapa jawlnei Isai kiangah a sawl hi.

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.

³Huan, a mau a kiangah, Hezekiain hichiin a chi, Tuni mangbatna leh muhsitna ni ahi; naupangte lah a pian hun uh a hita ngala, amau piangsak dingin hatna lah a om nawn ngal keia.

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.

⁴Rabsakeh a pu Assuria kumpipan Pathian hing gense dinga a sawl thu gente, TOUPA na Pathianin a bilin a za lai ahi kha ding, huchiin a thu gen, TOUPA na Pathian in a biala, a jakte ah, a honsal ding hi; huaijiakin a om sunte adingin na thumna lan tou in, a chi hi, a chi ua.

⁵So the servants of king Hezekiah came to Isaiah.

⁵Huchiin kumpipa Hezekia sikhate Isai kiangah a hongpai uh.

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.

⁶Huan, Isaiin a kiang uah, Na pu kiang uah hichiin na chi ding uh ahi, TOUPAN hichiin a chi, Na thu jak, Assuria kumpipa sikhaten a hon-gensiatnate uh, kihta ken.

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.

⁷Ngaiin, a sungah kha banghiam ka omsak dinga, huchiin thuthang a za dinga, amah gamah a kik nawn ding; huchiin amah gam ngeiah namsaua puksakin ka omsak ding, a chi hi, chiin, a chi a.

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

⁸Huchiin Rabsakeh a kik nawna, Assuria kumpipan Libnah khua akipan a pai kheta chih a thei khin ngala.

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,

⁹Huan, Assuria kumpipa Sennakeribin Tirhak Ethiopia gam kumpipa tungthu, Nang honsim dingin a pawtta, chiin mi gen a ja. Huchiin huai a jak takin Hezekia kiangah Palaite a sawla.

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.

¹⁰Hichiin Judate kumpipa Hezekia kiangah na chi ding uh ahi, Na muan Pathianin, Jerusalem khua Assuria kumpipa khutah piak ahi kei ding, chiin, hon khem kei hen.

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

¹¹Ngaiin, Assuria kumpipaten gam tengteng suse vekin a tung ua a thilhihte uh nabilin na ja hi, huchiin nang penpen humbitin na om tuam ding hiam?

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?

¹²Nam chih pathianten, Gozante, Harante, Resephte, Eden ta Telassar khuaa om te, ka pipute sukmante, a humbit ua hia.

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

¹³Hamath kumpipa te, Ivvah kumpipa te koia om a hita ua? chiin, a chi a.

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.

¹⁴Huan Hezekiain palaite khuta kipanin lai a mu a, a sima, huchiin Hezekia TOUPA inah a va luta, TOUPA maah a phata hi.

¹⁵And Hezekiah prayed unto the LORD, saying,

¹⁵Huan, Hezekia TOUPA kiang ah a thuma.

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.

¹⁶Sepaihte TOUPA, Israelte Pathian aw, cherubte tunga tupa, nang, nang kia, leitung luah gam tengteng Pathian na hi; nangman leitung leh van na bawl a.

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.

¹⁷TOUPA aw na bil hon doh inla, ngai dih ve; TOUPA aw na mit hak inla, en dih ve; Pathian hing gense dinga mite sawlpa Sennakerib thu tengteng ngai dih ve.

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

¹⁸TOUPA, Assuria kumpipaten gam tengteng leh a lei uh a hihse ngei ngut ua, a pathiante uleng meiah a pai ua.

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.

¹⁹Huaite jaw Pathian ahi kei him ua, mihing khuta bawl sing leh suang, a hijaw uh; huaijiakin a hihmang uhi.

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.

²⁰Huaijiakin, TOUPA ka Pathian uh aw, nang, nang kia, TOUPA na hi chih leitung luah gam tengtengin a theihna ding un amah akipanin honhumbitin, chiin.

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:

²¹Huai laiin Amoz tapa Isaiin Hezekia kiangah mi a sawla, hichiin a chi a, TOUPA Israelte Pathianin hichiin a chi hi, Assuria kumpipa Sennakerib siatna ding nangawna ka kianga na thum jiakin hiai a tungtang thu TOUPAN a gen ahi hi;

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.

²²Zion tanu nungakin a honmusita, a honnuih san hi; Jerusalem tanuin a lu a honsin khum.

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.

²³Kua ahi maia na minsiatsakna gensiat? kua tungah ahia na aw na puamsaka, na mit na sansak? Israelte Mi Siangthou tungah ngei.

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.

²⁴Na sikhate zangin TOUPa na min sesaka, Ka kangtalai tampi toh tangsang sanna, LEbanon gam gil khawngah ka hontungtou ta hi; a sidar sing sang takte leh a meilah sing hoih te ka phuk ding; A mun sang pen, a lei hoihna gammangah ka lut ding.

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

²⁵Tuileh ka leta, tui ka dawn jela, ka khepek nuaiin Aigupta lui tengteng ka kangsak vek ding, na chi.

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.

²⁶Ken nidanglaia patin huai ka hih ahi a, tumalama kipana ka suktuah ahi chih na za ka hia? Khua kulhpi neite in chim khawm bang lela hihsepa na hih theihna dingin tuin ka tungsak hi.

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.

²⁷Huaijiakin a sunga omte a hat lo kei ua, a lau ua, a zahlak uhi; pawn loupa bang lel leh, koupa hing bang lel, intungloupa hing bang lel, intungloupa bang leh, lou buh hoih ma bang lel ahi uh.

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

²⁸Ken bel na tut bang, na pawt bang, na lut bang, ka tunga na hehdan ka thei hi.

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.

²⁹Ka tunga na heh jiak leh, na pau uang dan ka bila a honglut touh tak jiakin ka nakbulh nang nakah ka bulh dinga, ka sikkaihna leng na mukah ka bulh ding hi, na hongpaina lampi mahah ka honkik sak nawn ding, chih, chiin.

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.

³⁰Huan, hiai pen nang adinga chiamtehna ding ahi ding; tukumin buh sang na sen ding ua; kum nawnin leng huai buh sang mah na sen ding uh; huan, a kum thumna ah buh tuh unla, at unla, grep huante bawl unla, a gah ne un.

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

³¹Huan, Juda inkuampihte laka dam sunte bel a suklama zungkaia, a tou lama gahin a om nawn ding.

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.

³²A om sunte Jerusalem akipanina pawt ding ua, dam lai dingte Zion tang akipanin a pawt ding uh; sepaihte TOUPA phatuamngaihnain huaite a hih ding hi.

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.

³³Huaijiakin TOUPAN Assuria kumpipa tungtang thu-ah hichiin a chi, Amah hiai khopi a hongtung kei dinga, hiailaiah a thal leng a kap sam kei dinga, lum toh a kiangah leng a hongpai sam kei ding, a simna dingin lah lei kulh a bawl sam kei ding.

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

³⁴A hongpaina lampi-ah huai mahah a hongkik nawn dinga, hiai khopi a hongtung kei ding, TOUPAN a chi.

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

³⁵Kei jiak leh ka sikha David jiakin hiai khopi humbit dingin ka hum ding hi, chiin, a chi a.

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.

³⁶Huchiin TOUPA angel a vapawta, Assuriate giahmunah mi nuai khat leh sing giat leh sang nga a sisak a; huan, jing khanga mi a thoh u leh, ngaiin, misi luang ngen a nahi hi.

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

³⁷Huchiin, Assuria kumpipa Sannakerib a pawta, a paia, a kik peka, Ninevi khuaah a om nilouh hi.Huan, hichi ahi a, a pathian Nisrok inah pathian a biak laiin a tapa Adrammelek leh Sarezer ten namsauin a sat lum ua; huchiin a tai mang ua, Ararat gamah a lut uh. Huan, a tapa Esarhaddonin a sikin vai a hawm hi.

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.

³⁸Huan, hichi ahi a, a pathian Nisrok inah pathian a biak laiin a tapa Adrammelek leh Sarezer ten namsauin a sat lum ua; huchiin a tai mang ua, Ararat gamah a lut uh. Huan, a tapa Esarhaddonin a sikin vai a hawm hi.
