And the servant of the man of God riseth early, and goeth out, and lo, a force is surrounding the city, and horse and chariot, and his young man saith unto him, 'Alas! my lord, how do we do?'

And he saith, 'Jehovah doth not save thee — whence do I save thee? out of the threshing-floor, or out of the wine-vat?'

And the king saith to her, 'What — to thee?' and she saith, 'This woman said unto me, Give thy son, and we eat him to-day, and my son we eat to-morrow;
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.
and we boil my son and eat him, and I say unto her on the next day, Give thy son, and we eat him; and she hideth 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 cometh to pass, at the king's hearing the words of the woman, that he rendeth his garments, and he is passing by on the wall, and the people see, and lo, the sackcloth [is] on his flesh within.
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.
And he saith, 'Thus doth God do to me, and thus He doth add — if it remain — the head of Elisha son of Shaphat — upon him this day.'

And Elisha is sitting in his house, and the elders are sitting with him, and [the king] sendeth a man from before him; before the messenger doth come unto him, even he himself said unto the elders, 'Have ye seen that this son of the murderer hath sent to turn aside my head? see, at the coming in of the messenger, shut the door, and ye have held him fast at the door, is not the sound of the feet of his lord 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.
He is yet speaking with them, and lo, the messenger is coming down unto him, and he saith, 'Lo, this [is] the evil from Jehovah: what — do I wait for Jehovah any more?'
