2 Manghai 6
1 Tonghma ca rhoek loh Elisha te, “Mamih om nah hmuen he na mikhmuh ah kaimih ham khaw caek coeng he.
And the sons of the prophets said unto Elisha, Behold now, the place where we dwell with you is too strait for us.
2 Jordan la cet uh mai sih lamtah te lamkah tungpum te hlang pakhat loh pakhat kawt sih. Te phoeiah mamih ham hmuen pahoi saii uh sih lamtah pahoi khosa uh sih,” a ti uh dongah, “Cet uh,” a ti nah.
Let us go, we pray you, unto Jordan, and take thence every man a beam, and let us make us a place there, where we may dwell. And he answered, Go all of you.
3 Te vaengah pakhat loh, “Ueh mai lamtah na sal rhoek taengah pongpa mai,” a ti nah hatah, “Ka pongpa bitni,” a ti nah.
And one said, Be content, I pray you, and go with your servants. And he answered, I will go.
4 Amih neh cet tih Jordan la a pawk vaengah thing te a saek uh.
So he went with them. And when they came to Jordan, they cut down wood.
5 Pakhat loh tungpum a vung vaengah thi te tui khuila a tlak pah. Te dongah pang tih, “Ka boeipa aw, te te ka vat dae ta,” a ti nah.
But as one was felling a beam, the axe head fell into the water: and he cried, and said, Alas, master! for it was borrowed.
6 Te dongah Pathen kah hlang loh, “Melam a tlak,” a ti nah tih a hmuen te a tueng. Te phoeiah thing a saih tih te ah te a khoh hata thi te a loe hang.
And the man of God said, Where fell it? And he showed him the place. And he cut down a stick, and cast it in thither; and the iron did swim.
7 Te phoeiah, “Namah ham rhut laeh,” a ti nah dongah a kut a yueng tih a rhuh.
Therefore said he, Take it up to you. And he put out his hand, and took it.
8 Te vaengah aka om Aram manghai loh Israel a vathoh thil. A sal rhoek te a uen tih, “Kamah kah buep te tongmang hmuen ah,” a ti nah.
Then the king of Syria warred against Israel, and took counsel with his servants, saying, In such and such a place shall be my camp.
9 Pathen kah hlang loh Israel manghai te a tah tih, “He hmuen la kat ham te ngaithuen, Aram te singling singloei lah ko te,” a ti nah.
And the man of God sent unto the king of Israel, saying, Beware that you pass not such a place; for thither the Syrians are come down.
10 Pathen kah hlang loh anih taengah a thui pah hmuen la Israel manghai a tueih vaengah tah a thuituen phoeiah khaw a thuituen dongah a tuem uh te vai bueng pawt tih hnavoei bueng bal moenih.
And the king of Israel sent to the place which the man of God told him and warned him of, and saved himself there, not once nor twice.
11 Hekah ol soah Aram manghai kah lungbuei tah thikthuek coeng. A sal rhoek te a khue tih amih te, “Kai taengah na puen uh mah nim? Mamih khui lamloh he Israel manghai taengla aka puen te unim?” a ti nah.
Therefore the heart of the king of Syria was sore troubled for this thing; and he called his servants, and said unto them, Will all of you not show me which of us is for the king of Israel?
12 Tedae a sal rhoek khuikah pakhat loh, “Moenih, ka boei manghai aw, Israel ah tonghma Elisha om ta, na imkhui ah thingkong dongah na thui ol khaw Israel manghai taengla puen ta,” a ti nah.
And one of his servants said, None, my lord, O king: but Elisha, the prophet that is in Israel, tells the king of Israel the words that you speak in your bedchamber.
13 Te dongah, “Cet uh, anih te melam nim so uh, hlang ka tueih saeh lamtah anih ka tu eh?,” a ti nah. Tedae a taengla puen tih, “Dothan ah om ke,” a ti nah.
And he said, Go and spy where he is, that I may send and fetch him. And it was told him, saying, Behold, he is in Dothan.
14 Te lam te marhang neh leng neh tatthai muep a tueih. Khoyin ah a paan uh tih khopuei te pin a vael uh.
Therefore sent he thither horses, and chariots, and a great host: and they came by night, and compassed the city about.
15 Pathen kah hlang aka bongyong te thoo tih, pai tih, a tawn uh vaengah tah caem loh khopuei te marhang neh leng neh tarha ana vael. Te dongah a tueihyoeih loh Elisha te, “Ka boeipa aw, metlam n'saii eh?” a ti nah.
And when the servant of the man of God was risen early, and gone forth, behold, an host compassed the city both with horses and chariots. And his servant said unto him, Alas, my master! how shall we do?
16 Tedae, “Rhih boeh, mamih taengkah he amih taengkah lakah yet,” a ti nah.
And he answered, Fear not: for they that be with us are more than they that be with them.
17 Elisha te thangthui tih, “BOEIPA aw, a mik he tueng sak mai lamtah hmu van saeh,” a ti nah. Te dongah BOEIPA loh tueihyoeih kah mik te a tueng sak tih tlang kah marhang, leng a bae neh Elisha kaepvai kah hmai te kak a hmuh.
And Elisha prayed, and said, LORD, I pray you, open his eyes, that he may see. And the LORD opened the eyes of the young man; and he saw: and, behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire round about Elisha.
18 Anih taengla a suntlak uh vaengah Elisha te BOEIPA taengah thangthui tih, “Hekah namtom he mikdael neh ngawn laeh,” a ti nah. Te dongah amih te Elisha ol bangla mikdael neh a ngawn.
And when they came down to him, Elisha prayed unto the LORD, and said, Strike this people, I pray you, with blindness. And he stroke them with blindness according to the word of Elisha.
19 Te vaengah Elisha loh amih te, “He he longpuei moenih, he he khopuei bal moenih. Kai hnuk ham vai uh lamtah na tlap uh hlang taengla nangmih te kan thak eh?,” a ti nah. Te phoeiah amih te Samaria la a thak.
And Elisha said unto them, This is not the way, neither is this the city: follow me, and I will bring you to the man whom all of you seek. But he led them to Samaria.
20 Amih te Samaria la a kun van neh Elisha loh, “BOEIPA amih mik he tueng sak lamtah hmu uh saeh,” a ti. BOEIPA loh amih mik te a tueng sak tih a hmuh uh vaengah Samaria khui la tarha a pawk pah.
And it came to pass, when they were come into Samaria, that Elisha said, LORD, open the eyes of these men, that they may see. And the LORD opened their eyes, and they saw; and, behold, they were in the midst of Samaria.
21 Amih te a hmuh vaengah Israel manghai loh Elisha te, “A pa ka ngawn la ka ngawn aya?” a ti nah.
And the king of Israel said unto Elisha, when he saw them, My father, shall I strike them? shall I strike them?
22 Tedae, “Ngawn boeh, na cunghang neh na lii neh na sol te nim na ngawn eh? Amih mikhmuh ah buh neh tui khaw tawn pah, a caak a ok uh phoeiah a boei rhoek taengla mael uh saeh,” a ti nah.
And he answered, You shall not strike them: would you strike those whom you have taken captive with your sword and with your bow? set bread and water before them, that they may eat and drink, and go to their master.
23 Te dongah amih ham buhloei muep a tael pah tih a caak a ok uh phoeiah amih te a tueih. A boei rhoek taengla a mael uh phoeiah tah Aram caem te Israel khohmuen la mop ham khoep uh voel pawh.
And he prepared great provision for them: and when they had eaten and drunk, he sent them away, and they went to their master. So the bands of Syria came no more into the land of Israel.
24 Te phoeiah pataeng Aram manghai Benhadad loh amah kah caem boeih te a coi. Te phoeiah cet tih Samaria te a dum.
And it came to pass after this, that Benhadad king of Syria gathered all his host, and went up, and besieged Samaria.
25 Te dongah Samaria ah khokha la muep pai. Amih taengah laak lu pakhat te tangka sawmrhet neh, vahui aek pataeng, vahui aek boem pali he tangka phik nga la a om pha hil a dum uh.
And there was a great famine in Samaria: and, behold, they besieged it, until an ass's head was sold for fourscore pieces of silver, and the fourth part of a cab of dove's dung for five pieces of silver.
26 Te tlam te a om vaengah Israel manghai te vongtung dongah a pongpa vaengah a taengah huta pakhat pang tih, “Ka boei manghai aw n'khang lah,” a ti nah.
And as the king of Israel was passing by upon the wall, there cried a woman unto him, saying, Help, my lord, O king.
27 Tedae, “BOEIPA loh nang n'khang pawt atah me lamkah nim? Cangtilhmuen lamkah nim? va-am lamkah nim nang kang khang eh?” a ti nah.
And he said, If the LORD do not help you, whence shall I help you? out of the barn floor, or out of the winepress?
28 Te phoeiah manghai loh anih te, “Nang te balae?” a ti nah hatah, “He huta loh kai taengah, 'Na capa te m'pae lamtah tihnin ah ca sih, thangvuen ah kai capa he n'caak bitni,’ a ti.
And the king said unto her, What disturbs you? And she answered, This woman said unto me, Give your son, that we may eat him to day, and we will eat my son tomorrow.
29 Te dongah kai capa te ka thong rhoi tih ka caak rhoi. Tedae hnin at ah tah anih te, 'Na capa te m'pae lamtah ca van pawn sih,’ ka ti nah hatah a capa te a thuh,” a ti nah.
So we boiled my son, and did eat him: and I said unto her on the next day, Give your son, that we may eat him: and she has hid her son.
30 Huta ol te manghai loh a yaak van neh a himbai te a phen. Amah khaw vongtung dongah a caeh doela pilnam a sawt vaengah a pum dongkah tlamhni te a khui hil tarha a hmuh.
And it came to pass, when the king heard the words of the woman, that he rent his clothes; and he passed by upon the wall, and the people looked, and, behold, he had sackcloth within upon his flesh.
31 Te dongah, “Tihnin ah anih soah Shaphat capa Elisha kah lu te a om pueng atah Pathen loh kai he n'rhaem saeh lamtah n'talh van saeh,” a ti.
Then he said, God do so and more also to me, if the head of Elisha the son of Shaphat shall stand on him this day.
32 Elisha te amah im ah ngol tih a taengah a ham rhoek ngol uh. Te vaengah a mikhmuh ah hlang a tueih pah dae anih taengla puencawn a pha hlan ah amah loh a ham rhoek te, “Hlang ngawn capa a tueih te na hmuh uh nama? So uh kai lu aka tloek ham ni ke. Puencawn ha pawk hlan ah thohkhaih te khai uh lamtah anih te thohkhaih neh nen thiluh. A hnuk kah te a boei kholaeh ol pawt nim?” a ti nah.
But Elisha sat in his house, and the elders sat with him; and the king sent a man from before him: but before the messenger came to him, he said to the elders, See all of you how this son of a murderer has sent to take away mine head? look, when the messenger comes, shut the door, and hold him fast at the door: is not the sound of his master's feet behind him?
33 Amih te a voek li vaengah puencawn khaw anih taengla pakcak suntla tih, “Boethae he BOEIPA taeng lamkah ni he, balae tih BOEIPA te n'ngaiuep voel eh?” a ti.
And while he yet talked with them, behold, the messenger came down unto him: and he said, Behold, this evil is of the LORD; what should I wait for the LORD any longer?
