2 Manghai 4

1 Tonghma koca rhoek yuu khui lamkah manu pakhat te Elisha taengah pang tih, “Na sal, kai va he duek coeng. Na ming bangla na sal te BOEIPA aka rhih la om. Tedae laibai aka suk loh ka ca rhoi he amah taengah sal la loh ham ha pawk coeng,” a ti nah.

Now a certain woman, the wife of one of the sons of the prophets, came crying to Elisha and said, Your servant my husband is dead; and to your knowledge he was a worshipper of the Lord; but now, the creditor has come to take my two children as servants in payment of his debt.

2 Te dongah Elisha loh anih te, “Nang ham balae kan saii eh? Im ah namah ham banim aka om kai taengah thui lah,” a ti nah. Te vaengah, “Situi um bueng phoeiah tah na salnu ham he imkhui tom ah a tloe a om moenih,” a ti nah.

Then Elisha said to her, What am I to do for you? say now, what have you in the house? And she said, Your servant has nothing in the house but a pot of oil.

3 Te phoeiah, “Cet, na imben tom lamkah neh a kaepvai lamkah am te namah ham dawt lah. Na imben kah am hoeng te hmaai boeh.

Then he said, Go out to all your neighbours and get vessels, a very great number of them.

4 Na kun neh thohkhaih te khai lamtah namah hlip neh na ca rhoi hlip ah he am boeih he koei, aka bae te rhoe,” a ti nah.

Then go in, and, shutting the door on yourself and your sons, put oil into all these vessels, putting on one side the full ones.

5 Anih taeng lamloh a nong phoeiah tah amah hnuk neh a ca rhoi hnuk ah thohkhaih te a kaih. A ca rhoi loh a taengla a tawn pah dongah a hlawn mai a hlawn mai.

So she went away, and when the door was shut on her and her sons, they took the vessels to her and she put oil into them.

6 Am rhoek te a bae vaengah tah a capa te, “Kai taengla am koep han khuen,” a ti nah. Tedae anih te, “Am om voel pawh,” a ti nah vaengah situi khaw pat.

And when all the vessels were full, she said to her son, Get me another vessel. And he said, There are no more. And the flow of oil was stopped.

7 Te phoeiah cet tih Pathen kah hlang taengah a puen pah. Te daengah, “Cet, situi te yoi lamtah na laiba te na laiba bangla sah. A coih nen te namah khaw na ca rhoi khaw hing uh,” a ti nah.

So she came to the man of God and gave him word of what she had done. And he said, Go and get money for the oil and make payment of your debt, and let the rest be for the needs of yourself and your sons.

8 Hnin at ah Elisha te Shunem la cet. Teah te huta hlangrhoei pakhat om tih Elisha te buh ca la a hloh. Te dongah a pha takuem ah buh ca la pahoi duem.

Now there came a day when Elisha went to Shunem, and there was a woman of high position living there, who made him come in and have a meal with her. And after that, every time he went by, he went into her house for a meal.

9 A va taengah, “Mah rhoi taengla aka pawk taitu te Pathen kah hlang cim la ka ming coeng he.

And she said to her husband, Now I see that this is a holy man of God, who comes by day after day.

10 Imhman ah pangbueng ca saii sih lamtah anih ham baiphaih neh caboei khaw ngolkhoel neh hmaitung pahoi khueh pah sih. Mamih rhoi taengla amah ha pawk vaengah tah te ah te pah saeh,” a ti nah.

So let us make a little room on the wall; and put a bed there for him, and a table and a seat and a light; so that when he comes to us, he will be able to go in there.

11 Hnin at vaengah tah te lam te pawk tangloeng. Te vaengah imhman la kun tih pahoi yalh.

Now one day, when he had gone there, he went into the little room and took his rest there.

12 Te phoeiah a tueihyoeih Gehazi te, “Shunam nu he khue lah,” a ti nah dongah anih te a khue pah tih a mikhmuh ah a pai pah.

And he said to Gehazi, his servant, Send for this Shunammite. So in answer to his voice she came before him.

13 Gehazih taengah, “Huta te, 'He kah thuennah cungkuem dongah kaimih rhoi ham na lakueng coeng he. Nang ham balae kan saii eh? Manghai taeng neh caempuei mangpa taengah nang yueng la thui ham koi om a?' ti nah,” a ti nah. Tedae, “Kai tah ka pilnam lakli ah kho ka sak,” a ti nah.

And he said to him, Now say to her, See, you have taken all this trouble for us; what is to be done for you? will you have any request made for you to the king or the captain of the army? But she said, I am living among my people.

14 Te dongah, “Anih ham balae n'saii eh,” a ti nah. Te vaengah Gehazi loh, “Then, anih he ca a khueh moenih, a va khaw patong coeng,” a ti nah.

So he said, What then is to be done for her? And Gehazi made answer, Still there is this, she has no son and her husband is old.

15 Te dongah, “Amah te khue lah,” a ti nah vanbangla amah te a khue pah tih thohka ah a pai pah.

Then he said, Send for her. And in answer to his voice she took her place at the door.

16 Te phoeiah, “Lomai tue kah khoning vaengah he nang te capa na kop ni,” a ti nah. Tedae, “Moenih, ka boei Pathen kah hlang aw, na salnu taengah laithae boeh,” a ti nah.

And Elisha said, At this time in the coming year you will have a son in your arms. And she said, No, my lord, O man of God, do not say what is false to your servant.

17 Tedae huta te vawn tih lomai tue kah khoning vaengah tah Elisha loh anih taengah a thui bangla capa a cun.

Then the woman became with child and gave birth to a son at the time named, in the year after, as Elisha had said to her.

18 Camoe pantai tih hnin at ah tah a napa taengah cangat la cet.

Now one day, when the child was older, he went out to his father to where the grain was being cut.

19 Te vaengah a napa taengah, “Ka lu, ka lu,” a ti nah. Te dongah tueihyoeih pakhat taengah, “Anih he a manu taengla thak,” a ti nah.

And he said to his father, My head, my head! And the father said to a servant, Take him in to his mother.

20 Anih te a phueih tih a manu taengla a pawk puei. Tedae khothun hil a manu khuklu dongah a ngol phoeiah duek.

And he took him in to his mother, and she took him on her knees and kept him there till the middle of the day, when his life went from him.

21 Te dongah cet tih camoe te Pathen hlang kah baiphaih dongah a yalh sak. Te phoeiah thoh a khaih thil tih khoe uh.

Then she went up and put him on the bed of the man of God, shutting the door on him, and went out.

22 A va te a khue tih, “Kai he tueihyoeih pakhat, laak pakhat han tueih mai. Te daengah ni Pathen kah hlang taengla ka yong vetih tatloe la ka mael eh?,” a ti nah.

And she said to her husband, Send me one of the servants and one of the asses so that I may go quickly to the man of God and come back again.

23 Tedae, “Nang namah cing te anih taengah a balae tih na caeh khaw na caeh mai? Tihnin he hlasae moenih, Sabbath bal moenih,” a ti nah vaengah, “Ngaimong la,” a ti nah.

And he said, Why are you going to him today? it is not a new moon or a Sabbath. But she said, It is well.

24 Laak te a ngoldoelh phoeiah tah a tueihyoeih te, “Vai lamtah cet laeh, nang taengah ngol ham ka thui hlan atah kai ham he uelh boeh,” a ti nah.

Then she made the ass ready and said to her servant, Keep driving on; do not make a stop without orders from me.

25 Cet tangloeng tih Karmel tlang kah Pathen hlang taengla la pawk. Pathen kah hlang loh anih te rhaldan ah a hmuh coeng tih a tueihyoeih Gehazi taengah, “Shunam nu la ke,

So she went, and came to Mount Carmel, to the man of God. And when the man of God saw her coming in his direction, he said to Gehazi, his servant, See, there is the Shunammite;

26 Anih ke doe hamla yong laeh laeh. Anih te, 'Na sading a? Na va te a sading a? Camoe te a sading a?' ti nah,” a ti nah. Tedae huta loh, “Ka sading uh ngawn,” a ti nah.

Go quickly to her, and on meeting her say to her, Are you well? and your husband and the child, are they well? And she said in answer, All is well.

27 Tlang kah Pathen hlang taengla a pha vaengah a kho te a kop pah. Gehazi loh anih te thaek ham thoeih dae Pathen kah hlang loh, “Anih te hlah laeh, anih ham tah a hinglu paep coeng dae BOEIPA loh kai ham a phah tih kai taengah thui pawh,” a ti nah.

And when she came to where the man of God was on the hill, she put her hands round his feet; and Gehazi came near with the purpose of pushing her away; but the man of God said, Let her be, for her soul is bitter in her; and the Lord has kept it secret from me, and has not given me word of it.

28 Te phoeiah, “Ka boeipa taengah capa kam bih nim? Kai he m'phok boeh ka ti moenih a?” a ti nah.

Then she said, Did I make a request to my lord for a son? did I not say, Do not give me false words?

29 Gehazi te, “Na cinghen yen lamtah na kut dongah kai kah conghol he pom. Yong lamtah hlang loh m'hmuh a khaw uem boeh. Hlang loh nang ng'uem akhaw doo boeh. Ka conghol he camoe maelhmai ah tloeng pah,” a ti nah.

Then he said to Gehazi, Make yourself ready, and take my stick in your hand, and go: if you come across anyone on the way, give him no blessing, and if anyone gives you a blessing, give him no answer. And put my stick on the child's face.

30 Tedae camoe kah a manu loh, “BOEIPA kah hingnah neh na hinglu kah hingnah bangla nang kan hlah mahpawh,” a ti nah. Te dongah thoo tih a hnukah a vai.

But the mother of the child said, As the Lord is living and as your soul is living, I will not go back without you. So he got up and went with her.

31 Gehazi tah amih rhoi hmai ah cet coeng tih conghol te camoe maelhmai ah a tloeng pah. Tedae ol om pawt tih hnatungnah khaw om pawh. Te dongah amah te doe hamla mael tih amah taengah a puen pah. “Camoe a haenghang moenih,” a ti nah.

And Gehazi went on before them and put the stick on the child's face; but there was no voice, and no one gave attention. So he went back, and meeting him gave him the news, saying, The child is not awake.

32 Elisha te im la a pawk vaengah tah camoe te anih kah baiphaih dongah a duek la tarha ana yalh pah.

And when Elisha came into the house he saw the child dead, stretched on his bed.

33 Kun tih amah rhoi hnuk ah thohkhaih te a khaih phoeiah BOEIPA taengah thangthui.

So he went in, and shutting the door on the two of them, made prayer to the Lord.

34 Cet tih camoe soah a bakop thil. A ka neh a ka, a mik neh a mik, a kut rhoi khaw a kut neh a kut a ben. A soah a khup thil vaengah camoe kah pumsa te bae hang.

Then he got up on the bed, stretching himself out on the child, and put his mouth on the child's mouth, his eyes on his eyes and his hands on his hands; and the child's body became warm.

35 Koep mael tih imkhui ah he la vai, he la vai cet. Koep yoeng tih a soah a khup thil vaengah tah camoe te voei rhih ikthi. Te daengah camoe loh a mik te a dai.

Then he came back, and after walking once through the house and back, he went up, stretching himself out on the child seven times; and the child's eyes became open.

36 Gehazi te a khue tih, “Shunam nu te khue laeh,” a ti nah. Anih te a khue tih a taengla a pawk pah vaengah tah, “Na capa he poeh laeh,” a ti nah.

And he gave orders to Gehazi, and said, Send for the Shunammite. And she came in answer to his voice. And he said, Take up your son.

37 Anih te kun tih Elisha kah kho kung ah a yalh pah phoeih diklai la a bakop pah. Te phoeiah a capa te a loh tih cet.

And she came in, and went down on her face to the earth at his feet; then she took her son in her arms and went out.

38 Elisha te Gilgal la a mael vaengah khohmuen ah khokha pai. Te vaengah a mikhmuh ah tonghma ca rhoek a ngol pah dongah a tueihyoeih taengah, “Am len khueng lamtah tonghma ca rhoek ham andam thong pah,” a ti nah.

And Elisha went back to Gilgal, now there was very little food in the land; and the sons of the prophets were seated before him. And he said to his servant, Put the great pot on the fire, and make soup for the sons of the prophets.

39 Te dongah pakhat te lohma ah an yoep la cet. Te vaengah kohong sulyam a hmuh tih kohong hava thaih khaw a himbai a bae la a yoep. A mael vaengah andam am khuila a laep thil te ming uh pawh.

And one went out into the field to get green plants and saw a vine of the field, and pulling off the fruit of it till the fold of his robe was full, he came back and put the fruit, cut up small, into the pot of soup, having no idea what it was.

40 Te phoeiah tah hlang rhoek loh a caak ham te a thui pah. Tedae andam te a caak uh van neh amih te pang uh tih, “Pathen hlang kah am dongah dueknah om,” a ti uh. Te dongah a caak uh ham khaw coeng uh pawh.

Then they gave the men soup from the pot. And while they were drinking the soup, they gave a cry, and said, O man of God, there is death in the pot; and they were not able to take any more food.

41 Te vaengah, “Vaidam lo uh dae,” a ti nah tih am khuiah a hlum phoeiah tah, “Pilnam ham thui pah laeh,” a ti nah. A caak uh vaengah am dongah a thae hno om voel pawh.

But he said, Get some meal. And he put it into the pot, and said, Now give it to the people so that they may have food. And there was nothing bad in the pot.

42 Te phoeiah Baalshalisha lamkah hlang ha pawk tih Pathen hlang ham te thaihcuek buh la cangtun buh cun kul neh cangthai te a tolkhui dongah a khuen pah. Tedae, “Pilnam te pae lamtah ca uh saeh,” a ti nah.

Now a man came from Baal-shalishah with an offering of first-fruits for the man of God, twenty barley cakes and garden fruit in his bag. And he said, Give these to the people for food.

43 Te vaengah anih taengkah aka thotat rhoek loh, “Hlang yakhat kah mikhmuh ah he he metlam ka tawn eh?,” a ti nah. Tedae, “Pilnam taengah pae lamtah ca uh saeh. BOEIPA loh he ni a thui. A caak uh phoeiah coih bitni,” a ti nah.

But his servant said, How am I to put this before a hundred men? But he said, Give it to the people for food; for the Lord says, There will be food for them and some over.

44 Amih mikhmuh ah a tawn pah tih a caak uh vaengah tah BOEIPA ol bangla a caknoi uh.

So he put it before them, and they had a meal and there was more than enough, as the Lord had said.
