2 Manghai 7

1 Elisha loh, “BOEIPA ol he ya uh. BOEIPA loh he ni a thui. Thangvuen tahae tue ah, Samaria vongka ah vaidam sum at te shekel khat la, cangtun sum nit te shekel khat la om ni,” a ti nah.

Then said Elisha', Hear ye the word of the Lord: Thus hath said the Lord, About this time tomorrow a seah of fine flour shall be sold for a shekel, and two seahs of barley for a shekel, in the gate of Samaria.

2 A kut ah manghai loh a hangdang thil rhalboei loh Pathen kah hlang te a doo tih, “BOEIPA loh vaan bangbuet ong mai cakhaw he ol bangla thoeng aya te?” a ti nah. Te vaengah, “Na mik neh na hmuh vetih na ca mahpawh te,” a ti nah.

Then answered the lord of the king, on whose hand he used to lean, the man of God, and said, Behold, will the Lord make windows in the heavens, that this thing shall be? And he said, Behold, thou shalt see it with thy eyes, but thereof shalt thou not eat.

3 Te vaengah aka pahuk hlang pali te vongka kah thohka taengah om uh tih pakhat loh a hui taengah, “Balae tih mamih loh n'duek hil heah n'ngol mai eh?”

And there were four leprous men at the entrance of the gate: and they said one to another, Why do we remain here until we die?

4 Khopuei la cet sih n'ti vaengah nim khopuei ah khokha pai tih pahoi n'duek uh ni, heah n'om bal cakhaw n'duek uh ni. Te dongah cet uh mai sih lamtah Aram rhaehhmuen ah yalh uh sih. Mamih he n'hlun atah n'hing uh vetih mamih he n'duek sak atah n'duek uh bitni,” a ti uh.

If we say, We will enter into the city, then is the famine in the city, and we shall die there; and if we remain here, we die [also]: now therefore come, and let us go over unto the camp of the Syrians; if they will let us live, we shall live; and if they kill us, we shall but die.

5 Te dongah hlaemhmah ah thoo uh tih Aram kah rhaehhmuen la cet uh. Aram rhaehhmuen kah a bawt te a pha uh vaengah tah hlang tarha om pawh.

And they rose up in the twilight, to go unto the camp of the Syrians; and when they were come to the uttermost part of the camp of the Syrians, behold, there was no man there.

6 Ka Boeipa loh Aram caem te leng ol, marhang ol, tatthai ol muep a yaak sak dongah hlang loh a manuca taengah te, “Mamih he Israel manghai loh caem m'paang thil te, Khitti manghai rhoek neh Egypt manghai rhoek loh mamih m'paan coeng,” a ti uh.

For the Lord had caused the camp of the Syrians to hear a noise of chariots, and a noise of horses, the noise of a large army: and they said one to the other, Lo, the king of Israel hath hired against us the kings of the Hittites, and the kings of the Egyptians, to come upon us.

7 Te dongah thoo uh tih hlaemhmah ah rhaelrham uh coeng. A dap khaw, a marhang khaw, a laak khaw, rhaehhmuen khaw amah la a hnoo uh tih a hinglu ham bueng te rhaelrham uh.

And they were arisen and fled in the twilight, and had left their tents, and their horses, and their asses, the camp as it was, and fled for their life.

8 Aka pahuk rhoek te rhaehhmuen bawt la a pawk uh vaengah dap pakhat ah kun uh. A caak uh tih a ok uh phoeiah te lamkah cak neh sui neh himbai khaw a phueih uh. Cet uh tih a thuh uh phoeiah mael uh tih dap a tloe la kun uh. Te lamkah a phueih uh phoeiah cet uh tih a thuh uh.

And so came these lepers to the uttermost part of the camp, and they went into one tent, and ate and drank, and carried away thence silver, and gold, and garments, and went and hid them; and they returned, and entered into another tent, and carried away [something] thence, and went and hid it.

9 Te vaengah tah pakhat loh a hui taengah, “Mamih kah n'saii te a thuem moenih. Tahae khohnin he olthangthen kah khohnin ni. Mamih n'ngam uh tih mincang khosae hil n'rhing koinih thaesainah te mamih loh n'yook. Te dongah cet uh pawn sih lamtah m'pha neh manghai im ah puen uh sih,” a ti uh.

And then they said one to the other, We do not act correctly; this day is a day of good tidings; and if we remain silent, and tarry till the morning-light, we shall incur guilt: now then come, and let us go and tell it at the king's house.

10 Cet uh tih khopuei kah thoh tawt te a khue uh. Amih te a voek uh tih, “Aram kah rhaehhmuen la ka cet uh dae hlang tarha ana om pawh. Hlang ol khaw lo pawt tih marhang khaw a pael uh, laak khaw a pael uh, dap khaw amah la sut om,” a ti nauh.

So they went and called unto one of the gate-keepers of the city, and they told them, saying, We came to the camp of the Syrians, and, behold, there was no man there, nor the voice of man; but the horses were tied, and the asses were tied, and the tents as they had been.

11 Thoh tawt khaw pang uh tih manghai im khuila puen uh.

And he called the gate-keepers; and they told it at the king's house within.

12 Manghai te khoyin ah thoo tih a sal rhoek taengah, “Aram loh mamih taengah a saii te nangmih taengah kan thui pawn eh. Mamih kah bungpong te a ming uh dongah rhaehhmuen lamloh kohong kah kohong patoeng la thuh ham khoe uh. 'Khopuei lamloh a coe uh kuekluek vaengah amih te a hing la tu sih lamtah tah khopuei la kun sih,’ a ti uh,” a ti nah.

And the king arose in the night, and said unto his servants, I can easily tell you what the Syrians have done to us: they know that we are hungry; and they are therefore gone out of the camp to hide themselves in the field, saying, If they should come out of the city, we will catch them alive, and enter into the city.

13 Te vaengah a sal pakhat loh a doo tih, “Khopuei ah aka sueng la aka sueng marhang pumnga te ka khuen mai eh. Te rhoek khaw a khuiah aka sueng Israel hlangping khuikah hlangping bang boeih ni. Amih te Israel hlangping bangla boeih khum uh coeng ke. Te dongah n'tueih lamtah ka so lah eh,” a ti nah.

And one of his servants answered and said, Let some take, I pray thee, five of the horses that remain, which are left in the city, let it fare with them as with all the multitude of Israel that are left in it, [or] let it fare with them as with all the multitude of Israel that have perished: and let us send out and see.

14 Te dongah marhang leng panit a loh phoeiah tah manghai loh Aram caem hnukah a tueih tih, “Cet lamtah so lah,” a ti nah.

And they took two chariots with horses; and the king sent after the camp of the Syrians, saying, Go and see.

15 Amih hnuk te Jordan duela a hlak uh. Tedae Aram khaw amamih te tamto la tamto uh coeng tih longpuei takuem ah himbai neh hnopai te a bae la a voeih uh. Te dongah puencawn rhoek te mael uh tih manghai taengah puen uh.

And they went after them as far as the Jordan; and, lo, the whole way was full of garments and vessels, which the Syrians had cast away in their haste: and the messengers returned, and told it to the king.

16 Te daengah pilnam te cet tih Aram rhaehhmuen te a poelyoe uh. Te vaengah BOEIPA ol bangla vaidam sum at te shekel khat, cangtun sum nit te shekel khat la om.

And the people went out, and plundered the camp of the Syrians: and a seah of fine flour was to be had for a shekel, and two seahs of barley for a shekel, according to the word of the Lord.

17 Manghai loh rhalboei la a khueh tih a ban ah a hangdang thil te vongka ah a om sak. Tedae anih te pilnam loh vongka ah a daep tih Pathen kah hlang loh a thui bangla duek. Te te anih taengla manghai a suntlak vaengah a thui pah coeng.

And the king had appointed the lord on whose hand he used to lean to have the charge of the gate; and the people trod him down in the gate, and he died; as the man of God had spoken, which he spoke when the king came down to him.

18 Pathen kah hlang loh manghai ham a thui pah vaengah, “Thangvuen tahae tue ah tah, Samaria vongka ah cangtun sum nit te shekel khat la, vaidam sum at te shekel khat la om ni,” a ti nah bangla thoeng.

And it came to pass as the man of God was speaking to the king, saying, Two seahs of barley for a shekel, and a seah of fine flour for a shekel, shall be about this time tomorrow in the gate of Samaria:

19 Rhalboei loh Pathen kah hlang te a doo tih, “BOEIPA loh vaan bangbuet ong mai cakhaw te kah ol bangla thoeng venim he?” a ti nah vaengah, “Na mik neh na hmuh sui dae te lamkah te na ca mahpawh he,” a ti nah.

That the Lord had answered the man of God, and said, Now, behold, if even the Lord were to make windows in the heavens, would such a thing be? And he had said, Behold, thou shalt see it with thy eyes, but thereof shalt thou not eat.

20 Anih ham a thoeng tangloeng dongah anih te pilnam loh vongka ah a til tih duek.

And it happened unto him so; for the people trod him down in the gate, and he died.
