2 Manghai 8

1 Elisha loh a capa aka hing huta te a voek tih, “Thoo lamtah namah neh na imkhui te cet uh laeh. Na bakuep nah noek ah bakuep mai. BOEIPA loh khokha ham a khue dongah khohmuen ah he kum rhih khuiah pai pueng ni,” a ti nah.

Now Elisha had said to the woman whose son he had given back to life, Go now, with all the people of your house, and get a living-place for yourselves wherever you are able; for by the word of the Lord, there will be great need of food in the land; and this will go on for seven years.

2 Te dongah huta te thoo tih Pathen hlang kah ol bangla a saii. Amah neh a imkhui te a caeh puei tih Philisti khohmuen ah kum rhih bakuep.

So the woman got up and did as the man of God said; and she and the people of her house were living in the land of the Philistines for seven years.

3 Kum rhih kah a bawtnah a pha vaengah tah huta te Philisti khohmuen lamloh mael. Te vaengah cet tih amah imkhui ham neh a khohmuen ham te manghai taengah pang.

And when the seven years were ended, the woman came back from the land of the Philistines and went to the king with a request for her house and her land.

4 Manghai loh Pathen hlang kah tueihyoeih Gehazi te a voek tih, “Elisha loh hno len cungkuem a saii te kai taengah tae laeh,” a ti nah.

Now the king was talking with Gehazi, the servant of the man of God, saying, Now, give me an account of all the great things Elisha has done.

5 Te dongah aka duek tangtae a hing sak tih a capa koep aka hing huta loh a imkhui ham neh a khohmuen ham manghai taengah a pang te khaw manghai taengah a tae pah. Te phoeiah Gehazi loh, “Ka boei manghai aw, he huta he ni a capa Elisha loh a hing sak pah.

And while he was giving the king the story of how Elisha had given life to the dead, the woman whose son had come back to life came to the king with a request for her house and her land. And Gehazi said, My lord king, this is the woman and this is her son, whose life Elisha gave back to him.

6 Manghai loh huta te a dawt tih a taengah a tae pah vaengah tah manghai loh anih ham te imkhoem pakhat a khueh pah tih, “Khohmuen a hnoong khohnin lamloh tahae hil khohmuen kah a vueithaih cungkuem te anih taengah boeih mael laeh,” a ti nah.

And in answer to the king's questions, the woman gave him all the story. So the king gave orders to one of his unsexed servants, saying, Give her back all her property, and all the produce of her fields from the day when she went away from the land up till now.

7 Elisha te Damasku la a caeh vaengah Aram manghai Benhadad te ana tlo. Te dongah a taengla a puen pah tih, “Pathen kah hlang he la ha pawk,” a ti nah.

And Elisha came to Damascus; and Ben-hadad, king of Aram, was ill; and they said to him, The man of God has come.

8 Manghai loh Hazael te, “Na kut dongah khocang khuen lamtah Pathen kah hlang doe hamla cet laeh. Anih lamloh BOEIPA te dawt lah, he tloh lamloh ka hing venim?' dawt lah,” a ti nah.

Then the king said to Hazael, Take an offering with you, and go to see the man of God and get directions from the Lord by him, saying, Am I going to get better from my disease?

9 Te dongah anih doe hamla Hazael te cet tih a kut dongah khocang neh Damasku kah thennah cungkuem te kalauk sawmli phueih la a khuen. Cet tih a mikhmuh ah a pai vaengah tah, “Na capa Aram manghai Benhadad loh kai he nang taengla n'tueih, 'He tloh lamloh ka hing aya?' a ti,” a ti nah.

So Hazael went to see him, taking with him forty camels with offerings on their backs of every sort of good thing from Damascus; and when he came before him, he said, Your son Ben-hadad, king of Aram, has sent me to you, saying, Will I get better from this disease?

10 Elisha loh anih te, “Cet lamtah amah taengah, 'Na hing rhoe na hing ni, 'ti nah. Tedae BOEIPA loh kai n'tueng coeng dongah duek rhoe duek ni,” a ti nah.

And Elisha said to him, Go, say to him, You will certainly get better; but the Lord has made it clear to me that only death is before him.

11 Te phoeiah tah a maelhmai te a khueh, a khueh tih a yah hil Pathen kah hlang te a rhah pah.

And he kept his eyes fixed on him till he was shamed, and the man of God was overcome with weeping.

12 Te vaengah Hazael loh, “Ka boeipa balae tih na rhah,” a ti nah hatah, “Israel ca rhoek taengah boethae na saii ham khaw, amih kah hmuencak te hmai neh na hlae ham khaw, amih kah tongpang rhoek te cunghang neh na ngawn ham khaw, amih kah camoe rhoek te na til ham khaw, aka vawn te na boe ham khaw ka ming dongah,” a ti nah.

And Hazael said, Why is my lord weeping? Then he said in answer, Because I see the evil which you will do to the children of Israel: burning down their strong towns, putting their young men to death with the sword, smashing their little ones against the stones, and cutting open the women who are with child.

13 Tedae Hazael loh, “Na sal ui loh metlam hno len a saii eh?” a ti nah. Elisha loh, “Aram soah na manghai ham te BOEIPA loh kai n'tueng coeng,” a ti nah.

And Hazael said, How is it possible that your servant, who is only a dog, will do this great thing? And Elisha said, The Lord has made it clear to me that you will be king over Aram.

14 Elisha taeng lamloh nong tih a boei taengla a pawk vaengah anih te, “Elisha loh nang taengah balae a thui,” a ti nah. Te vaengah, “Kai taengah tah, ' Na hing rhoe na hing ni, ' a ti,” a ti nah.

Then he went away from Elisha and came in to his master, who said to him, What did Elisha say to you? And his answer was, He said that you would certainly get well.

15 Tedae a vuen pha vaengah himbai thah a loh tih tui khuila a nuem phoeiah manghai kah maelhmai te a dah pah. Te vaengah manghai te duek tih Hazael te anih yueng la manghai.

Now on the day after, Hazael took the bed-cover, and making it wet with water, put it over Ben-hadad's face, causing his death: and Hazael became king in his place.

16 Israel manghai Ahab capa Joram kah a kum nga dongkah, Judah manghai Jehoshaphat phoeiah tah, Judah manghai Jehoshaphat capa Jehoram te manghai.

In the fifth year of Joram, the son of Ahab, king of Israel, Jehoram, the son of Jehoshaphat, king of Judah, became king.

17 Kum sawmthum kum nit a lo ca vaengah anih te manghai tih Jerusalem ah kum, kum rhet manghai.

He was thirty-two years old when he became king; and he was ruling in Jerusalem for eight years.

18 Anih khaw Israel manghai rhoek kah longpuei ah pongpa. Ahab canu te anih yuu la a om dongah Ahab imkhui kah a saii bangla BOEIPA mikhmuh ah boethae a saii.

He went in the ways of the kings of Israel, as the family of Ahab did: for the daughter of Ahab was his wife; and he did evil in the eyes of the Lord.

19 A sal David amah taengah a thui bangla anih ham neh a ca rhoek ham hnin takuem hmaithoi a khueh pah ham dongah ni BOEIPA loh Judah te phae a ngaih pawh.

But it was not the Lord's purpose to send destruction on Judah, because of David his servant, to whom he had given his word that he would have a light for ever.

20 Anih tue vaengah ni Edom loh Judah kut hmui lamkah boe a koek tih amamih ham manghai a manghai sak.

In his time, Edom made themselves free from the rule of Judah, and took a king for themselves.

21 Joram te amah taengkah leng boeih neh Zair te a paan. Khoyin ah thoo tih Edom te a tloek. A kaepvai te amah neh leng mangpa rhoek loh a dum vaengah pilnam tah amah dap la rhaelrham coeng.

Then Joram went over to Zair, with all his war-carriages; ... made an attack by night on the Edomites, whose forces were all round him, ... the captains of the war-carriages; and the people went in flight to their tents.

22 Edom tah tahae khohnin duela Judah kut hmui lamloh boe a koek. Libnah khaw te vaeng tue ah boe a koek coeng.

So Edom made themselves free from the rule of Judah to this day. And at the same time, Libnah made itself free.

23 Joram kah ol noi neh a saii boeih te khaw Judah manghai rhoek kah khokhuen olka cabu dongah a daek uh moenih a?

Now the rest of the acts of Joram, and all he did, are they not recorded in the book of the history of the kings of Judah?

24 Joram te a napa rhoek taengla a khoem uh vaengah David khopuei ah a napa rhoek taengah a up. Te phoeiah a capa Ahaziah te anih yueng la manghai.

And Joram went to rest with his fathers and was put into the earth with his fathers in the town of David: and Ahaziah his son became king in his place.

25 Israel manghai Ahab capa Joram kah kum hlai nit kum vaengah Judah manghai Jehoram capa Ahaziah te manghai van.

In the twelfth year that Joram, the son of Ahab, was king of Israel, Ahaziah, the son of Jehoram, king of Judah, became king;

26 Ahaziah he kum kul kum nit a lo ca vaengah manghai tih Jerusalem ah kum khat manghai. A manu ming tah Israel manghai Omri canu Athaliah ni.

Ahaziah was twenty-two years old when he became king, and he was ruling in Jerusalem for one year. His mother's name was Athaliah, the daughter of Omri, king of Israel.

27 Anih he Ahab imkhui loh a cava nah dongah Ahab imkhui kah longpuei ah pongpa tih BOEIPA mikhmuh ah Ahab imkhui bangla boethae a saii.

He went in the ways of the family of Ahab, and did evil in the eyes of the Lord as the family of Ahab did, for he was a son-in-law of the family of Ahab.

28 Ahab capa Joram neh Ramothgilead kah Aram manghai Hazael te caem la a paan vaengah Arammi loh Joram te a ngawn.

He went with Joram, the son of Ahab, to make war on Hazael, king of Aram, at Ramoth-gilead: and Joram was wounded by the Aramaeans.

29 Te dongah manghai Joram khaw Aram manghai Hazael a vathoh thil vaengkah Ramah ah Arammi loh a ngawn. Te hmasoe te hoeih sak ham Jezreel la mael. Tedae anih te a nue coeng dongah Judah manghai Jehoram capa Ahaziah khaw Ahab capa Joram te sawt hamla Jezreel la suntla.

So King Joram went back to Jezreel to get well from the wounds which the bowmen had given him at Ramah, when he was fighting against Hazael, king of Aram. And Ahaziah, the son of Jehoram, king of Judah, went down to see Joram, the son of Ahab, in Jezreel, because he was ill.
