1 Manghai 21
1 He hno he a om phoeiah, Jezreel kah Samaria manghai Ahab bawkim taengah Jezreel Naboth kah misurdum om.
Now some time later, Naboth the Jezreelite had a vineyard in Jezreel, near the palace of Ahab, king of Samaria.
2 Te dongah Ahab loh Naboth te, “Na misurdum te kai taengah m'pae lamtah, ka im neh a yoei ah kai ham toi-an dum la om saeh. Te yueng la nang taengah te lakah aka then misurdum khaw na mik ah aka then kam paek bitni. A phu la nang te tangka khaw kam paek bitni,” a ti nah.
Ahab spoke to Naboth, saying, “Give me your vineyard, so I can have it as a vegetable garden, because it is near my house. In exchange, I will give you a better vineyard, or, if you prefer, I will pay you its value in money.”
3 Naboth loh Ahab te, “A pa rhoek kah rho nang taengla kam paek ham he, kamah lamkah neh BOEIPA lamlong khaw savisava,” a ti nah.
Naboth replied to Ahab, “May Yahweh forbid that I should give the inheritance of my ancestors to you.”
4 Jezreel Naboth loh anih te a voek tih, “A pa rhoek kah rho he nang taengla kam pae mahpawh,” a ti nah ol dongah Ahab khaw a im te rhihnun cukduk neh thintoek la a pha. A baiphaih dongah a yalh neh a maelhmai a bueng tih buh khaw ca pawh.
So Ahab went into his palace resentful and angry because of the answer Naboth the Jezreelite gave him when he said, “I will not give you the inheritance of my ancestors.” He lay down on his bed, turned away his face, and refused to eat any food.
5 A yuu Jezebel te a taengla a pawk pah vaengah tah anih te, “Na mueihla he metlam a rhihnun cukduk tih buh na caak pawh,” a ti nah.
Jezebel his wife came to him and said to him, “Why is your heart so sad, so that you eat no food?”
6 Jezebel te, “Jezreel Naboth te ka voek tih amah taengah, 'Na misurdum te kai taengah tangka la han yoi mai. Na huem mak atah a yueng misurdum khaw nang te kam paek bitni,’ ka ti nah. Tedae, 'Ka misurdum te nang taengah kam pae mahpawh,’ a ti,” a ti nah.
He replied to her, “I spoke to Naboth the Jezreelite and said to him, 'Give me your vineyard for money, or if it pleases you, I will give you another vineyard to be yours.' Then he answered me, 'I will not give you my vineyard.'”
7 Te dongah anih te a yuu Jezebel loh, “Nang he Israel soah mangpa khaw na bi coeng ta. Thoo, buh ca lamtah na lungbuei voelphoeng sak. Kai loh Jezreel Naboth kah misurdum te nang ham kang khueh bitni,” a ti nah.
So Jezebel his wife replied to him, “Do you not still rule the kingdom of Israel? Get up and eat; let your heart be happy. I will obtain for you the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite.”
8 Te phoeiah Ahab ming neh cabu a daek tih a kutbuen neh a daeng thil. Cabu dongkah ca te a ham rhoek taengah neh a khopuei kah Naboth taengah kho aka sa hlangcoelh taengla a pat.
So Jezebel wrote letters in Ahab's name, sealed them with his seal, and sent them to the elders and to the wealthy who sat with him in meetings, and who lived near Naboth.
9 Cabu khuikah a daek dongah, “Yaehnah te khue uh lamtah Naboth te pilnam kah a lu la ngol saeh.
She wrote in the letters, saying, “Proclaim a fast and seat Naboth above the people.
10 Anih hmai ah aka muen ca rhoi hlang panit ngol saeh. Te vaengah anih te hih saeh lamtah, 'Pathen neh manghai yoethen pae nawn,'ti nah saeh lamtah khuen saeh. Te phoeiah anih te dae lamtah duek saeh,” a ti nah.
Also place two dishonest men with him and let them testify against him, saying, 'You cursed God and the king.'” Then take him out and stone him to death.
11 A khopuei hlang a hamca rhoek neh a khopuei khuikah khosa hlangcoelh rhoek long khaw Jezebel loh amih ham cabu neh a daek tih amih taegla a pat dongkah a uen bangla a saii uh.
So the men of his city, the elders and the wealthy who lived in Naboth's city, did as Jezebel had described to them, as was written in the letters that she had sent to them.
12 Yaehnah te a hoe uh tih Naboth te pilnam kah a lu la a ngol sakuh.
They proclaimed a fast and seated Naboth above the people.
13 Te vaengah hlang muen ca rhoi te ha pawk tih anih hmai ah ngol rhoi van. Hlang muen rhoi loh Naboth te pilnam hmai ah a laipai thil rhoi tih, “Naboth loh Pathen neh manghai yoethen a paek oe,” a ti rhoi. Te phoeiah tah khopuei vongvoel la a khuen uh tih lungto neh a dae uh dongah Naboth te duek.
The two dishonest men came in and sat before Naboth; they testified against Naboth in the presence of the people, saying, “Naboth cursed both God and the king.” Then they carried him out of the city and stoned him to death.
14 Te phoeiah Jezebel taengla a tueih uh tih, “Naboth a dae uh tih duek coeng,” a ti nah.
Then the elders sent word to Jezebel, saying, “Naboth has been stoned and is dead.”
15 Naboth a dae uh tih a duek te Jezebel loh a yaak van neh Jezebel long khaw Ahab taengah, “Thoo, Jezreel Naboth kah misurdum te pang laeh. Nang taengah tangka la paek ham khaw a aal dongah Naboth hing pawt tih duek coeng,” a ti nah.
So when Jezebel heard that Naboth had been stoned and was dead, she said to Ahab, “Get up and take possession of the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite, which he refused to give you for money, because Naboth is not alive, but dead.”
16 Naboth a duek te Ahab loh a yaak neh Ahab mah khaw thoo tih Jezreel Naboth kah misurdum te pang ham suntla.
When Ahab heard that Naboth was dead, he rose up to go down to the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite and take possession of it.
17 Te vaengah BOEIPA ol te Tishbi Elijah taengla pawk tih,
Then the word of Yahweh came to Elijah the Tishbite, saying,
18 “Thoo, Samaria kah Israel manghai Ahab doe la suntla laeh. Naboth kah misurdum pang hamla suntla lako ke.
“Get up and go meet Ahab king of Israel, who lives in Samaria. He is in the vineyard of Naboth, where he has gone to take possession of it.
19 Anih te thui pah lamtah, 'BOEIPA loh he ni a thui. Na ngawn tih na pang bal nama?' ti nah. Te phoeiah anih te thui pah lamtah, 'BOEIPA loh he ni a thui. Naboth thii ui loh a laeh nah hmuen ah nang khaw na thii te ui loh a laeh van ni,'ti nah,” a ti nah.
You must speak to him and say that Yahweh says, 'Have you killed and also taken possession?' Then you will tell him that Yahweh says, 'In the place where dogs licked the blood of Naboth, the dogs will lick your blood, yes, your blood.'”
20 Ahab loh Elijah te, “Kai he 'Ka thunkha ' la nan hmuh nama?” a ti nah. Te dongah, “BOEIPA mik ah boethae saii ham namah na yoih uh dongah kam hmuh mah ta.
Ahab said to Elijah, “Have you found me, my enemy?” Elijah answered, “I have found you, because you have sold yourself to do what is evil in the sight of Yahweh.
21 Kai loh nang soah boethae kang khuen rhoe kang khuen coeng he. Namah hnukah kan dom sak vetih pangbueng aka yun thil khaw, Israel khuikah a khoh neh a hnoo khaw Ahab taeng lamloh ka saii ni.
Yahweh says this to you: 'See, I will bring disaster on you and will completely consume and cut off from you every male child and slave and free man in Israel.
22 Israel te konoinah ham na veet tih na tholh sak dongah nang imkhui te Nebat capa Jeroboam imkhui bangla, Ahijah capa Baasha imkhui bangla kang khueh ni.
I will make your family like the family of Jeroboam son of Nebat, and like the family of Baasha son of Ahijah, because you have provoked me to anger and have led Israel to sin.'
23 BOEIPA loh Jezebel kawng khaw a thui tih, “Jezebel te Jezreel rhalmahvong ah ui loh a sok ni, ' a ti.
Yahweh has also spoken concerning Jezebel, saying, 'The dogs will eat Jezebel beside the wall of Jezreel.'
24 Ahab lamkah he khopuei ah aka duek te ui loh a caak vetih kohong ah aka duek te vaan kah vaa loh a caak ni.
Anyone who belongs to Ahab and dies in the city, the dogs will eat; and the birds of the sky will eat anyone who dies in the field.”
25 BOEIPA mik ah boethae saii ham amah aka yoi uh Ahab bang he a om moenih. Anih he a yuu Jezebel loh a vueh bal.
There was no one like Ahab, who sold himself to do what was evil in the sight of Yahweh, whom Jezebel his wife incited to sin.
26 BOEIPA loh Israel ca rhoek mikhmuh lamkah a haek Amori loh a cungkuem la a saii mueirhol hnukah a pongpa te bahoeng a tuei,” a ti nah.
Ahab did disgusting deeds for the idols he followed, just as all that the Amorites had done, those whom Yahweh had removed before the people of Israel.
27 Ahab loh he ol he a yaak van neh a himbai te a phen tih a pumsa dongah tlamhni a bai, a yaeh neh tlamhni dongah yalh tih yuepyuep cet.
When Ahab heard these words, he tore his clothes and put sackcloth on his body and fasted, and lay in sackcloth and became very sad.
28 Te vaengah Tishbi Elijah taengah BOEIPA ol ha pawk tih,
Then the word of Yahweh came to Elijah the Tishbite, saying,
29 “Ka mikhmuh ah Ahab a kunyun ke na hmuh nama? Ka mikhmuh ah a kunyun bangla amah tue ah yoethae ka khuen rhoe ka khuen pah mahpawh. A capa tue vaengah tah a imkhui ah yoethae ka khuen pah ni,” a ti nah.
“Do you see how Ahab humbles himself before me? Because he humbles himself before me, I will not bring the coming disaster in his days; it is in his son's day that I will bring disaster on his family.”
