1Now it happened in the fourteenth year of king Hezekiah, that Sennacherib king of Assyria attacked all of the fortified cities of Judah, and captured them.
1Huan, kumpipa Hezekia kum sawm leh kum lina kumin hichi ahi a, Assuria gam kumpipa Sennakerib tuh Juda gama khua kulhpi nei tengteng sim dingin a vahohtou-a a lata hi.
2The king of Assyria sent Rabshakeh from Lachish to Jerusalem to king Hezekiah with a large army. He stood by the aqueduct from the upper pool in the fuller’s field highway.
2Huan, Assuria kumpipan Rabsakeh sepaihhon tampi piin Lakish khua akipanin Jerusalem khuaa kumpipa Hezekia kiangah a sawla. Huan, dil saknung tuilakna kianga puansawpmi pawn lamlianah a dinga,
3Then Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, who was over the household, and Shebna the scribe, and Joah, the son of Asaph, the recorder came out to him.
3Huchiin kumpipa inkuanpihte tunga heutu-a om Hilkia tapa Eliakim te, laigelhmi Shebnate, tanchin gelhmi Asaph tapa Joa te kiangah a hong suk uhi.
4Rabshakeh said to them, “Now tell Hezekiah, ‘Thus says the great king, the king of Assyria, “What confidence is this in which you trust?
4Huan Rabsakehin a kiang uah, Hezekia kiangah hichiin gen un, Kumpipa thupitak Assuria kumpipain hichiin a chi, Na muanna kiangakna bang ahi maia?
5I say that your counsel and strength for the war are only vain words. Now in whom do you trust, that you have rebelled against me?
5Kidouna dinga na lemtheihna leh na hatna jaw thu lel ahi, ka chi; Kua muanga, ka tunga hel na hi maia?
6Behold, you trust in the staff of this bruised reed, even in Egypt, which if a man leans on it, it will go into his hand and pierce it. So is Pharaoh king of Egypt to all who trust in him.
6Ngaiin, hiai sialluang chiang, kitan Aiguptate, muang neive; huaimin a muan aleh, a khutah a sun ding hi; Aigupta kumpipa Pharo jaw amah muang tengteng tungah hichibang ahi nakanak hi.
7But if you tell me, ‘We trust in Yahweh our God,’ isn’t that he whose high places and whose altars Hezekiah has taken away, and has said to Judah and to Jerusalem, ‘You shall worship before this altar?’”
7Ahihkeileh, ka kiangah, TOUPA i Pathian uh ahi ka muan uh, na chihleh, amah pen Hezekiain Judate kiangah leh Jerusalemte kiangah, Hiai maitam maah kia na biak ding uh ahi, chi-a, a mun sangte leh a maitamte lak mang sakpa hi lou hia?
8Now therefore, please make a pledge to my master the king of Assyria, and I will give you two thousand horses, if you are able on your part to set riders on them.
8Huchiin, hehpihtakin, ka pu Assuria kumpipa kiangah thu chiamin, huchiin ken sakol sang nih ke honpe ding, nang a tung ua tuangdingte na muh theihpeuh ding leh.
9How then can you turn away the face of one captain of the least of my master’s servants, and put your trust on Egypt for chariots and for horsemen?
9Bangchin, kangtalaite leh sakol tungtuang mite thu-ah Aiguptate tunga na muanna ngaa, ka pu sikha neupente laka heutu khat leng na nan zoh ding?
10Have I come up now without Yahweh against this land to destroy it? Yahweh said to me, “Go up against this land, and destroy it.”’”
10Huan, hiai hihse dinga sim dingin TOUPA panglou-a hong pai tou ka hi-a hia? TOUPAN, ka kiangah, Huai gam sim dingin hoh tou inla, hihsia in, a honchi, chiin, a chi a.
11Then Eliakim, Shebna and Joah said to Rabshakeh, “Please speak to your servants in Aramaic, for we understand it; and don’t speak to us in the Jews’ language in the hearing of the people who are on the wall.”
11Huan, Eliakim leh Shebna leh Joa ten, Rabsakeh kiangah, Hehpihtakin na sikhate Suria pauin honhoupihtain; huailah ka theithei ngal ua; kulh bang tunga mite jakin Juda pauin honhoupih nawn ken, a chi ua.
12But Rabshakeh said, “Has my master sent me only to your master and to you, to speak these words, and not to the men who sit on the wall, who will eat their own dung and drink their own urine with you?”
12Himahleh Rabsakehin, Ka puin na pu kiang kiaah leh nang kiangah hiai thu gen dingin honsawl ahia? Kulh bang tunga tute, noute toh amau ek ne ding leh amau zun dawn dingte kiangah, a honsawl a hizo kei maw? a chi a.
13Then Rabshakeh stood, and called out with a loud voice in the Jews’ language, and said, “Hear the words of the great king, the king of Assyria!
13Huan, Rabsakeh a dinga, Juda pauin ngaihtakin a kikou-a, kumpipa thupi Assuria kumpipa thute ngaikhia un.
14Thus says the king, ‘Don’t let Hezekiah deceive you; for he will not be able to deliver you.
14Kumpipan hichiin a chi, Hezekia khemin om nuam dah un; aman lah a honhumbit thei sin ngal keia;
15Don’t let Hezekiah make you trust in Yahweh, saying, “Yahweh will surely deliver us. This city won’t be given into the hand of the king of Assyria.”’
15Hezekiain, TOUPAN pellouin honhumbit ding; hiai khopi jaw Assuria kumpipa khuta piakin a om kei ding, chiin, thu gen mahleh, TOUPA tuh Hezekia gen jiakin muang nuam tuan dah un.
16Don’t listen to Hezekiah, for thus says the king of Assyria, ‘Make your peace with me, and come out to me; and each of you eat from his vine, and each one from his fig tree, and each one of you drink the waters of his own cistern;
16Hezekia thu ngaikhe kei un; Assuria kumpipan lah hichiin a chi ngala, Thilpiakin hon kituahpih unla, ka kiangah hongpai khia un; mi chihin a grep guia pat leh mi chihin a theipi kunga pat ne chiat unla, mi chihin a tuikhuka pat tui dawn chiat un.
17until I come and take you away to a land like your own land, a land of grain and new wine, a land of bread and vineyards.
17Ka hongpaia, noumau gam banga buh leh uain omna gam, tanghou leh grep huante omna gama ka honpaipih ma tan.
18Beware lest Hezekiah persuade you, saying, “Yahweh will deliver us.” Have any of the gods of the nations delivered their lands from the hand of the king of Assyria?
18TOUPAN honhumbit ding, chi-a, Hezekiain a honkhem khak leh pilvang un. Nam chih pathian laka mi himhimin a gam uh Assuria kumpipa kiangah a humbitta ua hia?
19Where are the gods of Hamath and Arpad? Where are the gods of Sepharvaim? Have they delivered Samaria from my hand?
19Hamath leh Arpahte pathiante koia om ahi ta ua? Sepharvaimte pathiante koia om a hita ua? Huai Samari khua kei akipanin a humbit ta ua hia?
20Who are they among all the gods of these countries that have delivered their country out of my hand, that Yahweh should deliver Jerusalem out of my hand?’”
20Huai gam pathian tengteng loaka kuaten ahi a gam uh keia kipana a humbit uh? TOUPAN Jerusalem khua kei akipanin a humbit vial mahmah ding maw? chiin, a chi a.
21But they remained silent, and said nothing in reply, for the king’s commandment was, “Don’t answer him.”
21Amau bel a dai dide ua, thu khat lelin leng a dawng kei uh; kumpipa thupiak, Amau dawng kei un, chih ahi ngala.Huchiin kumpipa inkuanpihte tunga heutu-a om Hilkia tapa Eliakim te, laigelhmi Shebna te, tanchin gelhmi Asaph tapa Joa te puansilh bohkek silhin Hezekia kiangah a hongpai ua, Rabsakeh thugente a hilh uhi.
22Then Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, who was over the household, and Shebna the scribe, and Joah, the son of Asaph, the recorder, came to Hezekiah with their clothes torn, and told him the words of Rabshakeh.
22Huchiin kumpipa inkuanpihte tunga heutu-a om Hilkia tapa Eliakim te, laigelhmi Shebna te, tanchin gelhmi Asaph tapa Joa te puansilh bohkek silhin Hezekia kiangah a hongpai ua, Rabsakeh thugente a hilh uhi.
