They continued three years without war between Syria and Israel.
2 A kum thum dongla a pha vaengah tah Judah manghai Jehoshaphat te Israel manghai taengla suntla.
In the third year, Jehoshaphat the king of Judah came down to the king of Israel.
3 Te vaengah Israel manghai loh a sal rhoek te, “Ramothgilead te mamih kah la na ming nama? Tedae Aram manghai kut lamloh te te n'lat parhi mamih n'ngam uh coeng,” a ti nah.
The king of Israel said to his servants, “You know that Ramoth Gilead is ours, and we do nothing, and don’t take it out of the hand of the king of Syria?”
4 Te phoeiah Jehoshaphat te Ramothgilead ah caemtloek ham kai neh cet sih ne? a ti nah. Jehoshaphat loh Israel manghai taengah, “Kai khaw nang banghui ni, ka pilnam khaw na pilnam banghui, ka marhang khaw na marhang banghui,” a ti nah.
He said to Jehoshaphat, “Will you go with me to battle to Ramoth Gilead?” Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel, “I am as you are, my people as your people, my horses as your horses.”
5 Tedae Jehoshaphat loh Israel manghai taengah, “Tihnin kah bangla BOEIPA ol te dawtlet mai,” a ti nah.
Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel, “Please inquire first for the LORD’s word.”
6 Te dongah Israel manghai loh tonghma hlang ya li tluk te a coi. Te phoeiah amih te, “Ramothgilead ah caemtloek la ka cet aya? Ka paa aya?,” a ti nah vaengah, “Cet, ka Boeipa loh manghai kut ah m'paek bitni,” a ti uh.
Then the king of Israel gathered the prophets together, about four hundred men, and said to them, “Should I go against Ramoth Gilead to battle, or should I refrain?” They said, “Go up; for the Lord will deliver it into the hand of the king.”
7 Jehoshaphat loh, “Amah n'dawtlet uh thil ham khaw heah he BOEIPA kah tonghma om pawt nim?” a ti nah.
But Jehoshaphat said, “Isn’t there here a prophet of the LORD, that we may inquire of him?”
8 Israel manghai loh Jehoshaphat te, “BOEIPA dawtlet ham hlang pakhat om pueng sitoe cakhaw, Imlah capa Mikhaiah long he kai ham tah hnothen neh a tonghma pawt dongah anih te ka hmuhuet. Tedae Imlah capa Mikhaiah tah a boethae bueng ni,” a ti nah. Jehoshaphat loh, “Manghai he te tla a cal moenih,” a ti nah.
The king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, “There is yet one man by whom we may inquire of the LORD, Micaiah the son of Imlah; but I hate him, for he does not prophesy good concerning me, but evil.” Jehoshaphat said, “Don’t let the king say so.”
9 Te dongah Israel manghai loh imkhoem pakhat te a khue tih, “Imlah capa Mikhaiah te a loe la lo,” a ti nah.
Then the king of Israel called an officer, and said, “Quickly get Micaiah the son of Imlah.”

Now the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah were sitting each on his throne, arrayed in their robes, in an open place at the entrance of the gate of Samaria; and all the prophets were prophesying before them.
11 Kenaanah capa Zedekiah long tah amah ham thi kii a saii tih, “BOEIPA loh he ni a thui. Amih Aram te a thok hil he nen he na thoeh ni,” a ti nah.
Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah made himself horns of iron, and said, “The LORD says, ‘With these you will push the Syrians, until they are consumed.’”
12 Tonghma boeih khaw tonghma uh tangloeng tih, “Ramothgilead te paan lamtah thaihtak laeh, BOEIPA loh manghai kut ah a tloeng bitni,” a ti uh.
All the prophets prophesied so, saying, “Go up to Ramoth Gilead and prosper; for the LORD will deliver it into the hand of the king.”
13 Mikhaiah khue ham aka cet puencawn loh anih te a voek tih, “Tonghma rhoek kah ol he a ka pakhat la a caeh dongah manghai ham khaw then coeng ke. Ol he tah nang ol khaw amih neh ol pakhat la om saeh lamtah a then mah thui laeh,” a ti nah.
The messenger who went to call Micaiah spoke to him, saying, “See now, the prophets declare good to the king with one mouth. Please let your word be like the word of one of them, and speak good.”
14 Tedae Mikhaiah loh, “BOEIPA kah hingnah bangla BOEIPA loh kai taengah a thui bueng te ni ka thui,” a ti nah.
Micaiah said, “As the LORD lives, what the LORD says to me, that I will speak.”
15 Manghai taeng a pha vaengah manghai loh anih te, “Mikhaiah, caemtloek ham Ramothgilead la ka paan aya? ka paa aya?,” a ti nah. Te dongah manghai te, “Paan lamtah thaihtak laeh, BOEIPA loh manghai kut ah a paek bitni,” a ti nah.
When he had come to the king, the king said to him, “Micaiah, shall we go to Ramoth Gilead to battle, or shall we forbear?” He answered him, “Go up and prosper; and the LORD will deliver it into the hand of the king.”
16 Tedae manghai loh anih te, “Kai taengah tah BOEIPA ming neh oltak dawk na thui pawt ham Kai loh nang te voei me yet hil lae kan caeng aih,” a ti nah.
The king said to him, “How many times do I have to adjure you that you speak to me nothing but the truth in the LORD’s name?”
17 Te vaengah, “Israel pum he tlang ah a taekyak boiva bangla ka hmuh. Amih aka dawn ham he om pawh. Te dongah BOEIPA loh, 'He rhoek he a boei a om moenih. Hlang loh amah im te ngaimong la paan uh saeh,’ a ti,” a ti nah.
He said, “I saw all Israel scattered on the mountains, as sheep that have no shepherd. The LORD said, ‘These have no master. Let them each return to his house in peace.’”
18 Israel manghai loh Jehoshaphat taengah,” Nang taengah ka thui moenih a? Kai ham tah a thae bueng tih a then la a tonghma tlaih moenih,” a ti nah.
The king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, “Didn’t I tell you that he would not prophesy good concerning me, but evil?”
19 Te phoeiah, “Te dongah BOEIPA ol he hnatun. BOEIPA he amah ngolkhoel dongah ngol tih a banvoei a bantang kah amah taengah vaan caempuei boeih a pai te ka hmuh.
Micaiah said, “Therefore hear the LORD’s word. I saw the LORD sitting on his throne, and all the army of heaven standing by him on his right hand and on his left.
20 BOEIPA loh, 'Ramothgilead a paan vaengah cungku sak ham Ahab te ulong a cuek eh? ' a ti. Te dongah he tlam he a thui pah tih ke tlam khaw a thui pah.
The LORD said, ‘Who will entice Ahab, that he may go up and fall at Ramoth Gilead?’ One said one thing, and another said another.
21 Mueihla ha pawk tih BOEIPA mikhmuh ah a pai phoeiah tah, 'Anih te kamah loh ka cuek eh?,’ a ti. Te vaengah BOEIPA loh anih te, 'Me nen nim?' a ti nah.
A spirit came out and stood before the LORD, and said, ‘I will entice him.’
22 Te vaengah, 'Ka paan vetih a tonghma boeih kah a ka dongah laithae mueihla la ka om pah ni,’ a ti nah. Te dongah, 'Na cuek vetih na coeng pataeng bitni, cet lamtah saii tangloeng,’ a ti nah.
The LORD said to him, ‘How?’ He said, ‘I will go out and will be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets.’ He said, ‘You will entice him, and will also prevail. Go out and do so.’
23 Te dongah BOEIPA loh laithae mueihla te na tonghma boeih kah ka dongah a khueh coeng he. BOEIPA loh nang ham yoethae kawng ni a thui,” a ti nah.
Now therefore, behold, the LORD has put a lying spirit in the mouth of all these your prophets; and the LORD has spoken evil concerning you.”
24 Te vaengah Kenaanah capa Zedekiah te thoeih tih Mikhaiah te a kam ah a thoek. Te phoeiah, “Nang aka voek ham BOEIPA mueihla he kai taeng lamloh melam a kat,” a ti nah.
Then Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah came near and struck Micaiah on the cheek, and said, “Which way did the LORD’s Spirit go from me to speak to you?”
25 Te dongah Mikhaiah loh, “Imkhui kah imkhui ah thuh hamla na mop khohnin daengah nang loh hmu ne,” a ti nah.
Micaiah said, “Behold, you will see on that day when you go into an inner room to hide yourself.”
26 Te vaengah Israel manghai loh, “Mikhaiah te khuen uh lamtah khopuei mangpa Amon taeng neh manghai capa Joash taengla thak uh.
The king of Israel said, “Take Micaiah, and carry him back to Amon the governor of the city and to Joash the king’s son.
27 Te phoeiah, 'Manghai loh he ni a thui. Anih he thongim ah khueh uh. Kai sading la ka pawk hil anih he hnaemtaeknah tui neh hnaemtaeknah buh mah cah uh,’ ti nah,” a ti nah.
Say, ‘The king says, “Put this fellow in the prison, and feed him with bread of affliction and with water of affliction, until I come in peace.”’”
28 Tedae Mikhaiah loh, “Sading neh na mael la na mael atah kai dongah BOEIPA cal pawt mako,” a ti nah. Te phoeiah amih pilnam pum te khaw, “Hnatun uh he,” a ti nah.
Micaiah said, “If you return at all in peace, the LORD has not spoken by me.” He said, “Listen, all you people!”
29 Te phoeiah Israel manghai neh Judah manghai Jehoshaphat loh Ramothgilead te a paan.
So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah went up to Ramoth Gilead.
30 Israel manghai loh Jehoshaphat te, “Ka sa uh vetih caemtloek la ka cet ni, nang te namah kah himbai bai ngawn,” a ti nah. Te dongah Israel manghai te sa uh tih caemtloek la cet.
The king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, “I will disguise myself and go into the battle, but you put on your robes.” The king of Israel disguised himself and went into the battle.
31 Aram manghai loh leng mangpa rhoek sawmthum panit te a uen tih, “Israel manghai amah bueng phoeiah tah, a tanoe a kangham khaw tloek uh boeh,” a ti nah.
Now the king of Syria had commanded the thirty-two captains of his chariots, saying, “Don’t fight with small nor great, except only with the king of Israel.”
32 Leng mangpa rhoek loh Jehoshaphat te a hmuh vaengah amih loh Israel manghai rhep a ti uh. Te dongah anih te tloek ham dong uh dae Jehoshaphat lo a pang thil.
When the captains of the chariots saw Jehoshaphat, they said, “Surely that is the king of Israel!” and they came over to fight against him. Jehoshaphat cried out.
33 Tedae anih te Israel manghai moenih tila leng mangpa rhoek loh a hmuh van neh anih hnuk lamloh mael uh.
When the captains of the chariots saw that it was not the king of Israel, they turned back from pursuing him.

A certain man drew his bow at random, and struck the king of Israel between the joints of the armor. Therefore he said to the driver of his chariot, “Turn around, and carry me out of the battle, for I am severely wounded.”
35 Hnin at puet caemtloek khaw a caeh vaengah tah manghai te Aram dan kah leng dongah pai sut. Hlaem vaengah tah duek tih a hmasoe thii te leng kah tungngol dongla long.
The battle increased that day. The king was propped up in his chariot facing the Syrians, and died at evening. The blood ran out of the wound into the bottom of the chariot.
36 Khomik a tlak vaengah tah caem khuiah tamlung cet tih, “Hlang te amah khopuei la, amah khohmuen la rhip mael saeh,” a ti.
A cry went throughout the army about the going down of the sun, saying, “Every man to his city, and every man to his country!”
37 Manghai te a duek daengah Samaria la pawk tih Samaria ah manghai te a up uh.
So the king died, and was brought to Samaria; and they buried the king in Samaria.
38 Leng te Samaria tuibuem ah a lae tih BOEIPA ol loh a thui bangla pumyoi tuihluk ah a thii te ui loh a laeh.
They washed the chariot by the pool of Samaria; and the dogs licked up his blood where the prostitutes washed themselves, according to the LORD’s word which he spoke.

Now the rest of the acts of Ahab, and all that he did, and the ivory house which he built, and all the cities that he built, aren’t they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?

He walked in all the way of Asa his father. He didn’t turn away from it, doing that which was right in the LORD’s eyes. However, the high places were not taken away. The people still sacrificed and burned incense on the high places.

The remnant of the sodomites, that remained in the days of his father Asa, he put away out of the land.
