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 the wife of one of the sons of the prophets came crying to Elisha, saying, “Your servant my husband is dead, and you know that your servant feared Yahweh. Now the creditor has come to take my two children to be his slaves.”
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.
So Elisha said to her, “What can I do for you? Tell me what do you have in the house?” She said, “Your servant has nothing in the house, except 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 Elisha said, “Go out to borrow jars from your neighbors, empty jars. Borrow as many as possible.
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 you must go inside and shut the door behind you and your sons, and pour oil into all those jars; set aside the jars that are full.”
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 left Elisha and shut the door behind her and her sons. They brought the jars to her, and she filled them with oil.
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.
When the vessels were full, she said to her son, “Bring me another jar.” But he said to her, “There are no more jars.” Then the oil stopped flowing.
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.
Then she came and told the man of God. He said, “Go, sell the oil; pay your debt, and live with your sons on the rest.”
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.
One day Elisha walked to Shunem where an important woman lived; she urged him to eat food with her. So as often as Elisha passed by, he would stop there to eat.
9 A va taengah, “Mah rhoi taengla aka pawk taitu te Pathen kah hlang cim la ka ming coeng he.
The woman said to her husband, “See, now I realize that this is a holy man of God who is always passing by.
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.
Let us make a little room on the roof for Elisha, and let us put in it a bed, a table, a seat, and a lamp. Then when he comes to us, he will stay there.”
11 Hnin at vaengah tah te lam te pawk tangloeng. Te vaengah imhman la kun tih pahoi yalh.
So when the day came again that Elisha stopped there, he stayed in the room and rested 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.
Elisha said to Gehazi his servant, “Call this Shunammite.” When he had called her, she stood 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.
Elisha said to him, “Say to her, 'You have gone to all this trouble to care for us. What can be done for you? Can we speak for you to the king or to the army commander?'” She answered, “I live among my own 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 Elisha said, “What can we do for her, then?” Gehazi answered, “Indeed, 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.
So Elisha answered, “Call her.” When he had called her, she stood in 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.
Elisha said, “At this time of year, in one year's time, you will be holding a son.” She said, “No, my master and man of God, do not lie 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.
But the woman conceived and gave birth to a son at the same time in the following year, as Elisha had said to her.
18 Camoe pantai tih hnin at ah tah a napa taengah cangat la cet.
When the child had grown, he went out one day to his father, who was with harvesters.
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.
He said to his father, “My head, my head.” His father said to his servant, “Carry him 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.
When the servant had picked him up and brought the boy to his mother, the child sat on her knees until noon and then died.
21 Te dongah cet tih camoe te Pathen hlang kah baiphaih dongah a yalh sak. Te phoeiah thoh a khaih thil tih khoe uh.
So the woman got up and laid the boy on the bed of the man of God, shut the door, 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.
She called to her husband, and said, “Please send me one of the servants and one of the donkeys so that I may hurry to the man of God and then come back.”
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.
Her husband said, “Why do you want to go to him today? It is not a new moon nor a Sabbath.” She replied, “It will be all right.”
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 saddled a donkey and said to her servant, “Drive on quickly; do not slow down for me unless I say so.”
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 the man of God at Mount Carmel. So when the man of God saw her in the distance, he said to Gehazi his servant, “Look, here comes the Shunammite woman.
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.
Please run to meet her and say to her, 'Is everything alright with you and with your husband and child?'” She answered, “It is alright.”
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.
When she came to the man of God at the mountain, she caught hold of his feet. Gehazi came near to thrust her away but the man of God said, “Leave her alone, for she is very upset, and Yahweh has hidden the problem from me, and has told me nothing.”
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 ask you for a son, my master? Did I not say, 'Do not deceive me'?”
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 Elisha said to Gehazi, “Dress for travel and take my staff in your hand. Go to her home. If you meet any man, do not greet him, and if anyone greets you, do not answer him. Lay my staff 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 Yahweh lives, and as you live, I will not leave you.” So Elisha arose and followed 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.
Gehazi hurried on ahead of them and laid the staff on the child's face, but the child did not speak or hear. So then Gehazi returned to meet Elisha and told him saying, “The child has not awakened.”
32 Elisha te im la a pawk vaengah tah camoe te anih kah baiphaih dongah a duek la tarha ana yalh pah.
When Elisha arrived at the house, the child was dead and was still on the bed.
33 Kun tih amah rhoi hnuk ah thohkhaih te a khaih phoeiah BOEIPA taengah thangthui.
So Elisha went in and shut the door on the child and himself and prayed to Yahweh.
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.
He went up and lay on the child; he put his mouth on his mouth, his eyes on his eyes, and his hands on his hands. He stretched himself out on the boy, and the boy's body grew 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 Elisha got up and walked around the room and again went up and stretched himself out on the boy. The child sneezed seven times and then opened his eyes!
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.
So Elisha called Gehazi and said, “Call the Shunammite!” So he called her, and when she came into the room, Elisha said, “Pick 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.
Then she lay facedown on the ground at his feet and bowed to the ground, and then picked up her son 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.
Then Elisha came again to Gilgal. There was famine in the land, and the sons of the prophets were sitting before him. He said to his servant, “Put the large pot on the fire and cook stew 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.
One of them went out into a field to gather vegetables. He found a wild vine and gathered enough wild gourds to fill the fold of his robe. They cut them up and put them into the stew, but did not know what kind they were.
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.
So they poured out the stew for the men to eat. Later, as they were eating, they cried out and said, “Man of God, there is death in the pot!” So they could not eat it anymore.
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 Elisha said, “Bring some flour.” He threw it into the pot and said, “Pour it out for the people, so that they may eat.” Then there was no longer anything hurtful 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.
A man came from Baal Shalishah to the man of God and brought twenty loaves of barley bread in his sack from the new harvest, and fresh ears of grain. He said, “Give this to the people so they can eat.”
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.
His servant said, “What, should I set this before a hundred men?” But Elisha said, “Give this to the people, so they can eat, because Yahweh says, 'They will eat and will have some left.'”
44 Amih mikhmuh ah a tawn pah tih a caak uh vaengah tah BOEIPA ol bangla a caknoi uh.
So his servant set it before them; they ate, and left some remaining, just as the word of Yahweh promised.
