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

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

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

²Huan, in sung lam heutu Eliakim leh laigelhmi Sebna leh, siampu upate saiip puan silhin Amoz tapa jawlnei Isai kiangah a sawl hi.

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

³Huan, amau a kiangah, Hezekiain hichiin a chi, Tuni mangbatna leh salhna leh minsiatna ni ahi: naute lah a pian uh ahunta ngala, piangsak dingin lah hatna a om nawnta ngal kei a.

⁴It may be Jehovah thy God will hear all the words of Rab-shakeh, whom the king of Assyria his master has sent to reproach the living God; and will rebuke the words which Jehovah thy God has heard. Therefore lift up a prayer for the remnant that is left.

⁴A pu Assuria kumpipan Pathian hing gense dia a sawl Rabsake thu gen tengteng, TOUPA na Pathianin a za dinga, a thu gen, TOUPA na Pathianin a thu a jak a na sal kha mai ding, huaijiakin a omlai mite thum sak in, a chi hi a chi ua.

⁵And the servants of king Hezekiah came to Isaiah.

⁵Huchiin kumpipa Hezekia mite bel Isai kiangah a hoh uh.

⁶And Isaiah said to them, Thus shall ye say to your master: Thus saith Jehovah: 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 kiangah hichiin genin, TOUPAN hichiin a chi, Na jak, Assuria kumpipa miten hon gensiatnate uh kihta ken.

⁷Behold, I will put a spirit into him, and he shall hear tidings, and shall return to his own land; and I will make him to fall by the sword in his own land.

⁷Ngaiin, a sungah kha ka omsak dinga, thuthang a za dinga, amah gamah a pai nawn ding; huchiin amah gam mahmah ah namsau puksakin ka om sak ding, a chi hi, chiin, a chi a.

⁸And Rab-shakeh returned, and found the king of Assyria warring against Libnah; for he had heard that he had departed from Lachish.

⁸Huchiin Rabsake bel a kik nawna, Assuria kumpipan Libna khua anasual lai vamu a; Lakis khua akipan a pawt chih a jaksa him ahi.

⁹And he heard say of Tirhakah king of Ethiopia, Behold, he has come forth to make war with thee. And he sent messengers again to Hezekiah, saying,

⁹Huan, Ngaiin, Nang honsual dingin a pawtta, chi-a Tirhak Ethiopia gam kumpipa tungtang thu mi gen a najakin Hezekia kiangah mite a sawla.

¹⁰Thus shall ye speak to Hezekiah king of Judah saying: Let not thy God, upon whom thou reliest, deceive thee, saying, Jerusalem shall not be delivered into the hand of the king of Assyria.

¹⁰Hichiin Juda kumpipa Hezekia kiangah na gen ding uh, Na Pathian na muanin Jerusalem khua Assuria kumpipa khutah piak ahi kei ding, chiin honkhem kei heh.

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

¹¹Ngaiin, Assuria kumpipaten gamtengteng hihse veka a tunga thil hih uh na jaa; nang humbit na hi tuan sin ahia?

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

¹²Nam chih pathianten ka pi leh puten a hihman te uh a humbit ua hia? Gozan te, Haran te, Reseph te, Eden ta Telasar khuaa om te khawng.

¹³Where is the king of Hamath, and the king of Arpad, and the king of the city of Sepharvaim, of Hena, and Ivvah?

¹³Hamath kumpipa te, Arpad kumpipate, Sephavaim khopi kumpipa te, Hena kumpipa te, Ivva 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 into the house of Jehovah, and spread it before Jehovah.

¹⁴Huan, Hezekiain a mi sawlte khuta kipan lai a mu a, a sim a: huchiin Hezekia TOUPA inah a luta, TOUPA maah a jak.

¹⁵And Hezekiah prayed before Jehovah and said, Jehovah, God of Israel, who sittest [between] the cherubim, thou, the Same, thou alone art the God of all the kingdoms of the earth: thou hast made the heavens and the earth.

¹⁵Huan, Hezekia TOUPA maah a thum a, TOUPA aw, cherubte tunga tu, Israel Pathian, nang, nang kia leitung gam tengteng Pathian na hi; lei leh van nangmah bawlsa ahi.

¹⁶Incline thine ear, Jehovah, and hear; open, Jehovah, thine eyes, and see; and hear the words of Sennacherib, who hath sent him to reproach the living God.

¹⁶TOUPA aw, na bil na doh inla, ngai dih ve; TOUPA aw, na mit hak inla, en dih ve; Pathian hing gense dinga Sennakeribin thu a honggen ngaikhe dih ve.

¹⁷Of a truth, Jehovah, the kings of Assyria have laid waste the nations and their lands,

¹⁷TOUPA, Assuria kumpipaten namte leh a gamte uh a hihse sek ngei ua, a pathiante uh meiah a pai sek uh:

¹⁸and have cast their gods into the fire; for they were no gods, but the work of men's hands, wood and stone; therefore have they destroyed them.

¹⁸Huaite bel pathian ahi kei him ua, mihing khuta bawl sing leh suang ahi jaw uhi: huaijiakin a hihmang uh ahi.

¹⁹And now, Jehovah our God, I beseech thee, save us out of his hand, that all the kingdoms of the earth may know that thou, Jehovah, art God, thou only.

¹⁹Huaijiakin TOUPA ka Pathian uh aw, nang, nang kia TOUPA Pathian na hi chih leitung luah gam tengtengin a theih theihna ding un a lakah honhumbit ngeingeiin, chiin.

²⁰And Isaiah the son of Amoz sent to Hezekiah, saying, Thus saith Jehovah the God of Israel: That which thou hast prayed to me concerning Sennacherib king of Assyria I have heard.

²⁰Huai laiin Amoz tapa Isaiin Hezekia kiangah, TOUPA Israel Pathianin hichiin a chi hi, Assuria kumpipa Sennakerib siatna ding lama ka kianga na thum najaa, chiin a honsawl hi.

²¹This is the word that Jehovah has spoken against him: The virgin-daughter of Zion despiseth thee, laugheth thee to scorn; The daughter of Jerusalem shaketh her head at thee.

²¹Hiai a tungtang thu TOUPAN a gen ahi: Zion tanu nungakin nang a honmusit ua, a honnuih-san ua; Jerusalem tanuin a lu a honsin khum.

²²Whom hast thou reproached and blasphemed? and against whom hast thou exalted the voice? Against the Holy one of Israel hast thou lifted up thine eyes on high.

²²Kua na minse saka, kua na gensiaa? Kua tungah ahia na aw na puk sak, na mit na hah san? Israelte Mi Siangthoupa tungah ahi.

²³By thy messengers thou hast reproached the Lord, and hast said, With the multitude of my chariots have I come up To the height of the mountain, to the recesses of Lebanon, And I will cut down its tall cedars, the choice of its cypresses; And I will enter into its furthest lodging-place, [into] the forest of its fruitful field.

²³Na mi sawlte zangin TOUPA na minsesaka, Ka kangtalai tampi toh Lebanon gam gil tang sangte ka hongtungtou ta; huaia Sidar sing sang pipite leh taksing hoih pipite ka phuk ding; a lei hoihna mun gammang a tenna mun gil penah ka lut ding.

²⁴I have digged, and have drunk strange waters, And with the sole of my feet have I dried up all the streams of Matsor.

²⁴Gam dang tui ka lai khiaa, ka ne jela, ka khepek nuaiah Aigupta lui tengteng ka kangsak vek ding, na chi a.

²⁵Hast thou not heard long ago that I have done it? And that from ancient days I formed it? Now have I brought it to pass, that thou shouldest lay waste fortified cities [into] ruinous heaps.

²⁵Keimahin nidang laia kipan huai ka hih a hihdan bang, malaia kipan huai ka bawl a hih dan bang na za ka hia? Kho kulh neite in chim khawm lel banga hihsepa dingin nang ka honsepta ahi.

²⁶And their inhabitants were powerless, They were dismayed and put to shame; They were [as] the growing grass, and [as] the green herb, [As] the grass on the housetops, and grain blighted before it be grown up.

²⁶Huaijiakin a sunga omten hatna a neikei ua, a lauthawng ua, a hong zahlakta uhi; gamlak loupa bang leh, loupa hing bang leh, in tunga loupa bang leh, buh a let maa hai vuai bang ahi uh.

²⁷But I know thine abode, and thy going out, and thy coming in, And thy raging against me.

²⁷Ken bel na tut te, na lut leh na pawt leh ka tunga na heh te ka thei hi.

²⁸Because thy raging against me and thine arrogance is come up into mine ears, I will put my ring in thy nose, and my bridle in thy lips, And I will make thee go back by the way by which thou camest.

²⁸Ka tunga na heh jiak leh, uang taka na pau ka bila a honglut touh jiakin ka nakbulh na nak ah ka bulh dinga, ka sikbah na muk ah; na hongkuanna lampi mahmahah ka honkik sak nawn ding, chiin.

²⁹And this [shall be] the sign unto thee: They shall eat this year such as groweth of itself, And in the second year that which springeth of the same; But in the third year sow ye and reap, And plant vineyards and eat the fruit thereof.

²⁹Huan, hiai nanga dinga chiamtehna ahi ding: tukumin buhsang na sen ding ua; kum nawn chiangin a sang mah; huan, kum thumnaah buh na tuh ding ua, at unla, grep huante bawl unla, a gahte ne un.

³⁰And the remnant that is escaped of the house of Judah Shall again take root downward, and bear fruit upward;

³⁰Huchiin Juda inkote laka dam lai omsunten a suk lamin zung a kai ding ua, a tou lamin a gah nawn ding uh.

³¹For out of Jerusalem shall go forth a remnant, And out of mount Zion they that escape: The zeal of Jehovah [of hosts] shall do this.

³¹Jerusalem akipanin a omsunte Zion tang akipan a damlaite a pawt khe sin uhi; TOUPA phatuamngaihnain huaite a chi hi.

³²Therefore thus saith Jehovah concerning the king of Assyria: He shall not come into this city, Nor shoot an arrow there, Nor come before it with shield, Nor cast a bank against it.

³²Huaijiakin TOUPAN Assuria kumpipa tungtang thu hichiin a gen, Hiai khopi a hongtung kei ding, hiai laiah leng thal a kap sam kei ding, lum toh a kiangah lah a hongpai sam kei dinga, a kho julah lah lei a se sang kei ding uhi.

³³By the way that he came, by the same shall he return, And shall not come into this city, saith Jehovah.

³³A hongpaina lampi ah, huai mahah a nungkik nawn dinga, hiai khopi a hongtung kei ding, TOUPAN a chi.

³⁴And I will defend this city, to save it, For mine own sake, and for my servant David's sake.

³⁴Kei jiak leh ka sikha David jiakin hiai khopi humbit dingin ka veng ding hi, chiin.

³⁵And it came to pass that night, that an angel of Jehovah went forth, and smote in the camp of the Assyrians a hundred and eighty-five thousand. And when they arose early in the morning, behold, they were all dead bodies.

³⁵Huchiin huai janin hichi ahi a, TOUPA angel a kuan khiaa, Assuriate giahmun ah mi nuaikhat leh singgiat leh sangnga a thata; huan, jing khanga a hongthoh uleh, ngaiin, misi luang ngen ana om maimah.

³⁶And Sennacherib king of Assyria departed, and went and returned, and abode at Nineveh.

³⁶Huchiin Assuria kumpipa Sennakerib apawta, a kik nawna, a pai nawn jela, Ninevi khuaah a omta hi.Huan a pathian Nisrok inah amah a biak laiin hichi ahia, Adrammelek leh Sarezer ten namsauin a that ua; huchiin Ararat gamah a tai lutta uh. Huan, a tapa Esar-haddon a sikin a lalta hi.

³⁷And 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 Ararat. And Esarhaddon his son reigned in his stead.

³⁷Huan a pathian Nisrok inah amah a biak laiin hichi ahia, Adrammelek leh Sarezer ten namsauin a that ua; huchiin Ararat gamah a tai lutta uh. Huan, a tapa Esar-haddon a sikin a lalta hi.
