¹And it came to pass in the third year of Hoshea the son of Elah, king of Israel, that Hezekiah the son of Ahaz, king of Judah, began to reign.

¹Huan, Ela tapa Israel kumpipa Hosia kum thum a lal kumin hichi ahi a, Juda kumpipa Ahaz tapa Hezekia a lal pana.

²He was twenty-five years old when he began to reign; and he reigned twenty-nine years in Jerusalem; and his mother's name was Abi, daughter of Zechariah.

²A lal pattungin kum sawmnih leh kumngaa upa ahi; huan, Jerusalem ah kum sawmnih leh kum kua a lala; a nu min Abi, Zekaria tanu ahi.

³And he did what was right in the sight of Jehovah, according to all that David his father had done.

³Huan, a pu David thilhih peuhpeuh hih teiin TOUPA mitmuhin thil hoihtak a hih sek hi.

⁴He removed the high places, and broke the columns, and cut down the Asherahs, and broke in pieces the serpent of brass that Moses had made; for to those days the children of Israel burned incense to it: and he called it Nehushtan.

⁴Mun sangte a hihgawp a, suangphuhte a hihchima, Asera te a phuk a; huan, Mosi dal gul bawlte a kitam nen sak vek a; huai hun tanphain Israel suanten a kiangah gimlim a hal sek uh; huai bel Nehustan a chi uhi.

⁵He trusted in Jehovah the God of Israel; so that after him was none like him among all the kings of Judah, nor [among any] that were before him.

⁵Aman TOUPA Israelte Pathian a muanga; huchiin a nunga Juda kumpipate tengteng lakah amah bang kuamah a om kei ua, a malamin leng a om sam kei uh.

⁶And he clave to Jehovah, and did not turn aside from following him, but kept his commandments, which Jehovah commanded Moses.

⁶TOUPA a lenchintena, amah a zuih a tawp nuam keia, a thupiak TOUPAN Mosi a piakte a jui hi.

⁷And Jehovah was with him; he prospered whithersoever he went forth. And he rebelled against the king of Assyria, and served him not.

⁷Huchiin TOUPA a kiangah a oma; a vak khiakna peuhah a lamzang jel a; Assuria kumpipa tungah a hela, a na a semta kei hi.

⁸He smote the Philistines unto Gazah and its borders, from the watchmen's tower to the fortified city.

⁸Philistiate bel Baza kho tanin a gam chiang tengteng toh, galvilmite in sang akipana kulh nei kho tanin a zou vek hi.

⁹And it came to pass in the fourth year of king Hezekiah, which was the seventh year of Hoshea the son of Elah, king of Israel, [that] Shalmaneser king of Assyria came up against Samaria and besieged it.

⁹Huan, kumpipa Hezekia kum li a lal kum, Israel kumpipa Ela tapa Hosia kum sagih a lal kumin hichi ahi a, Assuria kumpipa Salmaneserin Samari khua a suala, a um a.

¹⁰And at the end of three years they took it; in the sixth year of Hezekiah, that is, the ninth year of Hoshea king of Israel, Samaria was taken.

¹⁰Huan, kum thum a chin kumin a la ua; Hezekia kum guk a lal kum, Israel kumpipa Hosia kum kua a lal kumin ahi Samari khua a lak.

¹¹And the king of Assyria carried away Israel to Assyria, and settled them in Halah and by the Habor, the river of Gozan, and in the cities of the Medes;

¹¹Huan, Assuria kumpipan Assuria gamah Israel a pi manga, Hala ah te, Habor ah te, Gozan lui tungah te, leh Mediate khuaah te a omsak ta hi:

¹²because they hearkened not to the voice of Jehovah their God, but transgressed his covenant, all that Moses the servant of Jehovah commanded; and they would not hear nor do it.

¹²TOUPA a Pathian uh thu a man nop louh ua, a thukhun a bohsiat jawk sop ua, TOUPAN a sikha Mosi thu a piak tengteng ngei a pom nop louh jiak un.

¹³And in the fourteenth year of king Hezekiah, Sennacherib king of Assyria came up against all the fortified cities of Judah, and took them.

¹³Huan, kumpipa Hezekia kum sawmleh kum li a lal kumin Asuria gam kumpipa Sennakerib bel Juda gama khua kulhpi nei tengteng sual dingin a hoh tou a, a la taa.

¹⁴And Hezekiah king of Judah sent to the king of Assyria to Lachish, saying, I have sinned; retire from me: I will bear what thou layest upon me. And the king of Assyria laid upon Hezekiah king of Judah three hundred talents of silver and thirty talents of gold.

¹⁴Huan, Juda kumpipa Hezekiain Lakis khuaa Assuria kumpipa kiangah, Thil ka na hihkhial a hita hi, chiin thu a khak a. Huan, Assuria kumpipan Juda kumpipa Hezekia dangka talent zathum leh dangkaeng talent sawmthum a bikhiah saka.

¹⁵And Hezekiah gave all the silver that was found in the house of Jehovah, and in the treasures of the king's house.

¹⁵Huchiin Hezekiain TOUPA ina dangka om tengteng leh kumpipa ina gou koihkhawmnaa tengteng a pia.

¹⁶At that time Hezekiah stripped the doors of the temple of Jehovah, and the posts that Hezekiah king of Judah had overlaid, and gave them to the king of Assyria.

¹⁶Huai tung mahin Hezekiain TOUPA biakin kongkhaka leh, Juda kumpipa Hezekiain dangkaeng a luante veka, Assuria kumpipa a pia hi.

¹⁷And the king of Assyria sent Tartan and Rabsaris and Rab-shakeh from Lachish, with a strong force, against king Hezekiah, to Jerusalem. And they went up and came to Jerusalem. And when they were come up, they came and stood by the aqueduct of the upper pool, which is on the highway of the fuller's field.

¹⁷Huan, Assuria kumpipan Tartan te, Rabsari te leh Rabsake te sepaih tampi toh Lakis khua akipanin Jerusalem khuaa kumpipa Hezekia kiangah a sawla. Huan, Jerusalem khua a tung tou ua. Huan, a tun touh un puansawpmi lam lian lampi-a dil saknung jaw tuilakna kiangah a ding uh.

¹⁸And they called to the king. Then came forth to them Eliakim the son of Hilkijah, who was over the household, and Shebnah the scribe, and Joah the son of Asaph, the chronicler.

¹⁸Huan, kumpipa a sap uleh, in sung lam heutu Hilkia tapa Eliakim te, laigelhmi Sebna te, tanchin gelhmi Asaph tapa Joa te a kiang uah a pawt khia ua.

¹⁹And Rab-shakeh said to them, Say now to Hezekiah, Thus says the great king, the king of Assyria: What confidence is this wherein thou trustest?

¹⁹Huan, Rabsakein a kiang uah, Hezekia kiangah vagen dih ve ua, Kumpipa thupi tak Assuria kumpipain hichiin a chi, Na gina na muan bang ahia oi?

²⁰Thou sayest -- but it is a word of the lips -- There is counsel and strength for war. Now on whom dost thou rely, that thou hast revolted against me?

²⁰Kidouna adingin geldan siam leh hatna ka nei uh, na chia; himahleh huai jaw paukam lel ahi. Kua ahia na muana ka tunga na hel mai jen?

²¹Now behold, thou reliest upon the staff of that broken reed, upon Egypt, on which if a man lean, it goes into his hand and pierces it: so is Pharaoh king of Egypt to all that rely upon him.

²¹Ngaiin, hiai sialluang chiang, Aigupta muang na hitaa; huaia mi a kiangaih leh a khut a sun ding; Aigupta kumpipa Pharo bel amah muangte tengteng tungah huchibang ahi naknak hi.

²²And if ye say to me, We rely upon Jehovah our God: is it not he whose high places and whose altars Hezekiah has removed, saying to Judah and Jerusalem, Ye shall worship before this altar in Jerusalem?

²²Ahihkeileh, Ka kiangah, TOUPA ka Pathian uh ahi ka muan uh, na chih uleh, amah pen Hezekiain Judate leh Jerusalem te kiangah Jerusalem khuaa hiai maitam maah na be ding uh ahi, chiin a mun sangte leh a maitamte a lak mang sakpa ahi ka hia? chiin.

²³And now, engage, I pray thee, with my master the king of Assyria, and I will give thee two thousand horses, if thou canst set the riders upon them.

²³Huchiin ka pu Assuria kumpipa toh thu kichiam dih ua, huchiin sakol sangnih ka honpe ding, a tunga tuangmi ding na muh theih peuhmah ding leh.

²⁴How then wilt thou turn away the face of one captain of the least of my master's servants? And thou reliest upon Egypt for chariots and for horsemen!

²⁴Bang chiin ahia kangtalaite leh sakol tungtuang mite thuin Aigupta tunga na muanna koihin, ka pu mite laka neupen heutu khat lel leng na nan kik zoh mahmah ding?

²⁵Am I now come up without Jehovah against this place to destroy it? Jehovah said to me, Go up against this land and destroy it.

²⁵Huan, hiai gam TOUPA thu lou-a hihse dinga hongkuan tou ka hia hia? TOUPAN ka kiangah, Huai gam vasual inla, hihsiain, chi ahi, chiin, a chi a.

²⁶And Eliakim the son of Hilkijah, and Shebnah and Joah said to Rab-shakeh, Speak, we pray thee, to thy servants in Syriac, for we understand it, and talk not with us in the Jewish [language] in the ears of the people that are on the wall.

²⁶Huan, Hilkia tapa Eiakim leh Sebna leh Joa ten Rabsake kiangah, Hehpih takin na sikhate Suria pauin honhoupih zota in; huailaiah ka thei thei ngal ua; kulh tunga mite jiakin Juda pauin honhoupih nawn ken, a chi ua.

²⁷And Rab-shakeh said to them, Is it to thy master and to thee that my master sent me to speak these words? Is it not to the men that sit on the wall, that they may eat their own dung and drink their own urine with you?

²⁷Himahleh Rasakein a kiang uah, ka puin na pu uh kiang leh nou kiang kiaah hiai thu gen dingin a honsawl ahia? Kulh tunga tute, noute leh amau a ek uh ne dingte kiangah leng a honsawl ahi kei maw? a chi a.

²⁸And Rab-shakeh stood and cried with a loud voice in the Jewish [language], and spoke and said, Hear the word of the great king, the king of Assyria!

²⁸Huan, Rabsake a dinga, Juda pauin aw ngaihtakin a kikou-a, Kumpipa thupi tak Assuria kumpipa thu ngaikhia un.

²⁹Thus says the king: Let not Hezekiah deceive you; for he will not be able to deliver you out of the [king's] hand.

²⁹Kumpipan hichiin a chi, Hezekia khemin om kei un; aman lah a khuta kipan nou a honhumbit thei sin ngal keia;

³⁰Neither let Hezekiah make you rely upon Jehovah, saying, Jehovah will certainly deliver us, and this city shall not be given into the hand of the king of Assyria.

³⁰Hezekiain, TOUPAN a honhumbit ngei ding; huan, hiai khopi Assuria kumpipa khuta piak ahi kei ding, chiin, TOUPA ah honmuang sak kei heh.

³¹Hearken not to Hezekiah; for thus says the king of Assyria: Make peace with me, and come out to me; and eat every one of his vine and every one of his fig-tree, and drink every one the waters of his own cistern;

³¹Hezekia thu pom kei un: Assuria kumpipan hichiin a chi ahi, Honkilep pih unla, ka kiangah hongpawt khia un; mi chihin amah grep guia leh mi chihin amah theipi kunga ne chiat uhenla, mi chihin amah tuikhuk tui ne chiat uhen;

³²until I come and take you away to a land like your own land, a land of corn and wine, a land of bread and vineyards, a land of olive-trees and of honey, that ye may live and not die; and hearken not to Hezekiah, when he persuades you, saying, Jehovah will deliver us.

³²Noumau gam banga buh leh uain gam, tanghou leh grep huan gam, oliv leh khuaiju gam, si lou-a na hintheihna ding gam ua ka hon pi masiah: Hezekiain, TOUPAN honhumbit ding chi-a nou a honkhemin leng pom nuam kei un.

³³Have any of the gods of the nations delivered at all his land out of the hand of the king of Assyria?

³³Nam chihte pathian mawngmawng laka himhimin a gam uh Assuria kumpipa akipan a humbit ngeita uh ahia?

³⁴Where are the gods of Hamath and of Arpad? Where are the gods of Sepharvaim, Hena, and Ivvah? and have they delivered Samaria out of my hand?

³⁴Hamat leh Arpad pathiante koia omta uh ahia? Sepharvaim te, Hena te, Ivva te pathiante len g koia om ta ahi ua? Samari khua keia kipan a humbit uh eita?

³⁵Which are they among all the gods of the countries, who have delivered their country out of my hand, that Jehovah should deliver Jerusalem out of my hand?

³⁵Gam chih pathian tengtengte laka in kuate ahi ua a gam uh ka laka kipan humbita, TOUPAN Jerusalem khua keia kipan a humbit mahmah ding? chiin, a chi a.

³⁶But the people were silent and answered him not a word; for the king's command was, saying, Answer him not.

³⁶Amau a dai sisip ua, Kamkhatin leng a dawng kei uh: kumpipa thupiak dan, Amah dawng ken, chih ahi ngala.Huchiin kumpipa in sung lam heutu Hilkia tapa Eliakim te, laigelhmi Sebna te, tanchin gelhmi Asaph tapa Jo ate a puan silh bohkekte uh silhin Hezekia kiangah a hoh ua, Rabsake thu gente a hilh uhi.

³⁷And Eliakim the son of Hilkijah, who was over the household, and Shebna the scribe, and Joah the son of Asaph, the chronicler, came to Hezekiah with their garments rent, and told him the words of Rab-shakeh.

³⁷Huchiin kumpipa in sung lam heutu Hilkia tapa Eliakim te, laigelhmi Sebna te, tanchin gelhmi Asaph tapa Jo ate a puan silh bohkekte uh silhin Hezekia kiangah a hoh ua, Rabsake thu gente a hilh uhi.
