1 Hiche phatlai sung hin, Syria lengpa Benhadad in asepaite jouse akomin chuleh leng somthum le nin asakol holeh akangtalai jouse pumin apanhun, hiti hin Benhadad chu Samaria sat din akitol’un, Israelte khopi kulpi Samaria chu aum uvin gal in anokhum tauvin ahi.
Ben Hadad the king of Syria gathered all his army together; and there were thirty-two kings with him, with horses and chariots. He went up and besieged Samaria, and fought against it.
2 Benhadad in Israel lengpa Ahab hengah mi asollin, thu ana thot in, “Hiche Benhadad kiti pan kasei ahi,
He sent messengers into the city to Ahab king of Israel and said to him, “Ben Hadad says,
3 Na insunga na sana leh na dangka chuleh najite le nachate apha lai chengse chu keiya hidiu ahitai,” agatisah tai.
‘Your silver and your gold are mine. Your wives also and your children, even the best, are mine.’”
4 Chunin Israel lengpan adonbut in, “Kapu lengpan nasei ho chu adih soh keije kanei jouse hi nanga ahi,” ati.
The king of Israel answered, “It is according to your saying, my lord, O king. I am yours, and all that I have.”
5 Benhadad in gangtah in adonbutna thu chu athot kit in, “Hiche Benhadad keima thuthot ahi, na sana leh na dangka chu leh naji na chate neipeh ding ahi tia, thu kapehsa nahitai.
The messengers came again and said, “Ben Hadad says, ‘I sent indeed to you, saying, “You shall deliver me your silver, your gold, your wives, and your children;
6 Ahinlah, jing nikho tuphat tah leh, naleng inpi le navaipote in jouse khol’a thil manlua agel jouseu kilah dia kavaipote kahinsol ding ahi,” agatisah kit in ahi.
but I will send my servants to you tomorrow about this time, and they will search your house and the houses of your servants. Whatever is pleasant in your eyes, they will put it in their hand, and take it away.”’”
7 Hiche jou chun Ahab in agamsung upa chingthei ho jouse akhomin, amaho koma chun, “Veuvin hichepa hin eisuboi lheh jeng un ahi! Aman aki ngeh bangin keiman ka sana leh ka dangka chu leh kaji ka chate chu kana phalpeh tan ahi,” ati.
Then the king of Israel called all the elders of the land, and said, “Please notice how this man seeks mischief; for he sent to me for my wives, and for my children, and for my silver, and for my gold; and I did not deny him.”
8 Amipite leh upa chingthei ho chun, “Hiche kal val chun imacha phalpeh tahih in,” atipeh un ahi.
All the elders and all the people said to him, “Do not listen, and do not consent.”
9 Hichun Ahab in Benhadad sottol le ho koma chun, “Kapu lengpa koma chun hiti hin seipeh tauvin, amasa’a nathil ngeh ho chu ka phalpeh jeng e, ahinlah tua achaina’a nathil ngeh hovang hi kasang theipoi,” ati. Hiti chun sottole ho chun hiche thu chu apo uvin Benhadad hengah akile tauvin ahi.
Therefore he said to the messengers of Ben Hadad, “Tell my lord the king, ‘All that you sent for to your servant at the first I will do, but this thing I cannot do.’” The messengers departed and brought him back the message.
10 Hichun Benhadad in Ahab chu hiti hin thu athot kit’e, “Keiman na khopi Samaria hi vogoihel’a ahalsi sia khut’a choidoh kham mihem kahin puilut ding kasuhmang ding ahi. Hichu kaboldoh lou le ka hou pathenten eithat jeng hen!” ati.
Ben Hadad sent to him, and said, “The gods do so to me, and more also, if the dust of Samaria will be enough for handfuls for all the people who follow me.”
11 Israel lengpa Ahab in ahin donbut in, “Galmun’a galsat dia sepai khat in a chemjam akipoh nung’a, galsat chaisa ho ham hoithoa thucheng chu bol ngai ahipoi, tin seipeh un,” ati.
The king of Israel answered, “Tell him, ‘Do not let him who puts on his armor brag like he who takes it off.’”
12 Benhadad leh apanpi leng dangho toh, ponbuh sunga ju ana donlai tah'un, Ahab donbutna thucheng chu aja tauvin ahi. Hichun Benhadad chun asepaite kom’ah galsat din kigo uvintin thu ape tan ahi. Hijeh chun khopi chu nokhum dingin akigo tauvin ahi.
When Ben Hadad heard this message as he was drinking, he and the kings in the pavilions, he said to his servants, “Prepare to attack!” So they prepared to attack the city.
13 Hiche kah lah chun, themgao khat Israel lengpa Ahab kimupi din achen, “Pakaiyin hiti hin thu aseiye, ‘Hiche galmi hon tamtah hokhu numu am? Tunia amaho khu nangma khutna ka pehdoh ding chule galjona na nei ding ahi. Hiteng chuleh nangman keima hi Pakai kitipa chu kahi nei hetdoh ding ahi,” ati.
Behold, a prophet came near to Ahab king of Israel, and said, “The LORD says, ‘Have you seen all this great multitude? Behold, I will deliver it into your hand today. Then you will know that I am the LORD.’”
14 Hichun Ahab in, “Ipiti ahinbol ding ham?” tin adong in ahi. Chuin themgaopa chun ahin donbut in, “Gambih vaipo ho noija khangthah hon abol diu ahi,” atin ahile, Ahab in, “Keihon kasat masat diu ham?” tin adongkit in ahile, thempupan, “Henge nanghon nasat masat diu ahi,” ati
Ahab said, “By whom?” He said, “The LORD says, ‘By the young men of the princes of the provinces.’” Then he said, “Who shall begin the battle?” He answered, “You.”
15 Hichun Ahab in gambih vaipo ho chu asimtoh leh, mi jani le somthum le ni ahiuvin ahi. Chujouvin Israel sepai jouse chu asimtoh leh sang sagi alhing in ahi.
Then he mustered the young men of the princes of the provinces, and they were two hundred and thirty-two. After them, he mustered all the people, even all the children of Israel, being seven thousand.
16 Sunkim dontah chun, Benhadad leh aki loipi Leng som le ni hochun aponbuh sung uvah ju anadon khom’un ahi.
They went out at noon. But Ben Hadad was drinking himself drunk in the pavilions, he and the kings, the thirty-two kings who helped him.
17 Hichun gambih lamkaiho chu khopi sunga kon chun ahung kitoldoh masapen un ahileh, Benhadad sepai ho chun akom a Samaria konin sepai phabep ahung kitol doh uve atin ahileh,
The young men of the princes of the provinces went out first; and Ben Hadad sent out, and they told him, saying, “Men are coming out from Samaria.”
18 Benhadad in, “Amaho chu chamna a hung hiu hen lang, galsat dinga hung hi jong leu ahing in man poupouvin,” ati.
He said, “If they have come out for peace, take them alive; or if they have come out for war, take them alive.”
19 Ahinlah sepaite apumpi ahin, gambih lamkaiho ahin, abon’un galsat dingin ahung kondoh tauvin ahi.
So these went out of the city, the young men of the princes of the provinces, and the army which followed them.
20 Israel sepaite chun Syria sepai akimaitopi cheh u athat’un ahile, Syria sepaiho chu ati’u ajan, ajam mang gam tauvin ahi. Hichun Israelten anungdel’un ahileh Benhadad lengpa leh sakol kangtalaiya touthem phabep chu anajam doh man’un ahi.
They each killed his man. The Syrians fled, and Israel pursued them. Ben Hadad the king of Syria escaped on a horse with horsemen.
21 Ahiyeng vang'in, Israel lengpa chun Syria sakol dang holeh sakol kangtalai ho chu ana ban suhmang peh tan ahi.
The king of Israel went out and struck the horses and chariots, and killed the Syrians with a great slaughter.
22 Phat chomkhat jouvin themgaopa chun, Ahab Lengpa kom ah, “Na hung nokhum kit di’u ahin kigingphan, Syria lengpa chun khovei chavang phatleh hung kit ding ahi hijeh chun thilho kigontoh in,” ati.
The prophet came near to the king of Israel and said to him, “Go, strengthen yourself, and plan what you must do, for at the return of the year, the king of Syria will come up against you.”
23 Agal-lal jou nung in, agal lamkai hon Benhadad jah’a, “Israelte Pathen hi thinglhang gam Pathen ahiuve, hijeh achu thinglhanga eijo’u ahi. Phaicham a kisatpi leuhen bailamtah a gal ijo jeng diu ahi,” atiuve.
The servants of the king of Syria said to him, “Their god is a god of the hills; therefore they were stronger than we. But let’s fight against them in the plain, and surely we will be stronger than they.
24 “Hiche chung’a a bou hin leng ho athunei nauva konin haisah in lang, akhel in sepai lamkai ho pansah in,” atiuve.
Do this thing: take the kings away, every man out of his place, and put captains in their place.
25 “Sepai alhasam jat hi subulhing kit’in, sepaite sakol leh kangtalai te atil ajat maman subulhing kit in, chuteng leh phaicham ah kisatpi leu veng kajo teidiu ahi,” atiuve. Hitichun Benhadad in jong angaichat bang’un abolpeh soh tan ahi.
Muster an army like the army that you have lost, horse for horse and chariot for chariot. We will fight against them in the plain, and surely we will be stronger than they are.” He listened to their voice and did so.
26 A kumkit chavang lai ahiphat in, Syria sepaite asemtoh sohkeiyin Israelte kisatpi dingin tuchung hin Aphek lang jon tauvin ahi.
At the return of the year, Ben Hadad mustered the Syrians and went up to Aphek to fight against Israel.
27 Isrtaelte jong aki semtoh un, neh leh chah jong hoitah’in akigon toh’un, galsat dingin ahung kitol tauve in ahi. Ahinlah Israel sepaite alhomdan uchu, kelcha hon lhomcha ni kijotna toh abang un ahi. Syria sepaite vang chu gamsung pumpi adim lha jeng un ahi.
The children of Israel were mustered and given provisions, and went against them. The children of Israel encamped before them like two little flocks of young goats, but the Syrians filled the country.
28 Hichun Pathen mipa chun Israel lengpa kom’ah achen, “Pakaiyin hiti hin aseiye, Syria sepaiten hiti hin aseiyun ahi, a Pakai’u khu thinglhang Pathen ahin, phaicham Pathen ahipoi. Hijeh chun hiche sepai tamtah tehi kajopeh diu ahi, chutengleh nang hon Pakai kahi chu nei het doh dio ahi,” ati.
A man of God came near and spoke to the king of Israel, and said, “The LORD says, ‘Because the Syrians have said, “The LORD is a god of the hills, but he is not a god of the valleys,” therefore I will deliver all this great multitude into your hand, and you shall know that I am the LORD.’”
29 Hiche galmi teni hin nisagi sungin kimai ngat ton ngahmun akisem’un, anaum un ahi. Ni sagi lhin nin akisat to pan tauvin ahi. Israelten nikhat sungin Syriate keng sepai hochu sang jakhat anathat’un ahi.
They encamped opposite each other for seven days. Then on the seventh day the battle was joined; and the children of Israel killed one hundred thousand footmen of the Syrians in one day.
30 Adangse chu Aphek khopi sung’ah ajamlut un ahi, ahin akulpi pal’u chu ahin chimkhum un ahile, mi sang somni le sagi jen athiuvin ahi. Benhadad chu khopi sung’a ajam lut’in, indan sung nung khat’ah akisel tan ahi.
But the rest fled to Aphek, into the city; and the wall fell on twenty-seven thousand men who were left. Ben Hadad fled and came into the city, into an inner room.
31 Benhadad sepai lamkai hon akom’ah, “Hepu Israel lengte hi mikhoto athem un ahi, hijeh chun eihon khaodip pon i-taibuh uva kiveiju hitin, i-luchang uva khaohol kiveiju hitin chuteng leh Israel lengpa henga chun, ga lut jeng tem uhite, ajeh chu ama khun na hinghoi jeng maithei ahi,” atiuve.
His servants said to him, “See now, we have heard that the kings of the house of Israel are merciful kings. Please let us put sackcloth on our bodies and ropes on our heads, and go out to the king of Israel. Maybe he will save your life.”
32 Hijeh chun amahon ataibuh dung’uva khaodip pon akiveijun, aluchung uva khaohol aki khu uvin, Israel lengpa henga chun acheuvin, “Nasohpa Benhadad chun aseijin, na heng’a kahung tao ahi, neihing hoi tei teijin,” atin tin asei tauve. Hichun Ahab chun adong in, “Benhadad chu hing na lai ham? Ama chu ka sopipa ahibouve,” ati tai.
So they put sackcloth on their bodies and ropes on their heads, and came to the king of Israel, and said, “Your servant Ben Hadad says, ‘Please let me live.’” He said, “Is he still alive? He is my brother.”
33 Benhadad sepaiten Ahab’in asei chu thilpha ahi tin akilah un, gantah in, “Henge, na sopipa Benhadad ahi,” atiuvin aban ipi ahinsei em ti angah un ahile, Ahab in amaho jah’a chun, “Cheuvin lang, hinpuidoh un,” ati. Chuin Benhadad ahunglhun phat’in, Ahab in a kangtalai chung’ah akaldoh sah in ahi.
Now the men observed diligently and hurried to take this phrase; and they said, “Your brother Ben Hadad.” Then he said, “Go, bring him.” Then Ben Hadad came out to him; and he caused him to come up into the chariot.
34 Hichun Benhadad in Ahab jah’a, “Kapan napa akona ana lahpeh khopi ho jouse chu abonchan keiman nangma nale kit tang’e, chule nangman kapa in Samaria khopi sung’a abolna bang bangin nangin jong, Damascus khopi sunga kai-lhang tampi na semdoh thei ahi,” ati. Chuin Ahab in, “Hitobang ding chun kenjong nangma nalha tang’e,” atin ahi. Hiti chun Ahab in Benhadad chutoh kitepna asem tan, ama jong alhadoh tai.
Ben Hadad said to him, “The cities which my father took from your father I will restore. You shall make streets for yourself in Damascus, as my father made in Samaria.” “I”, said Ahab, “will let you go with this covenant.” So he made a covenant with him and let him go.
35 Pakaiyin themgao hon lah’a mikhat chu midang khat kom’ah thu aseisah in, “Nei sat’in,” ati. Ahin mipa chun themngaopa sat ding chun anompoi.
A certain man of the sons of the prophets said to his fellow by the LORD’s word, “Please strike me!” The man refused to strike him.
36 Hichun themgaopan ama komah, “Pakai Pathen thupeh nanit loujeh in, keima neidalhah lhah teng le sakeiyin natha ding ahitai,” ati. Hitichun agah dalhah leh keipi khat in athat tan ahi.
Then he said to him, “Because you have not obeyed the LORD’s voice, behold, as soon as you have departed from me, a lion will kill you.” As soon as he had departed from him, a lion found him and killed him.
37 Hijouchun themgaopa chun midang chom khat komah, “Nei sat’in,” ati. Hichun themgaopa chu asat in, asattel jeng in ahi.
Then he found another man, and said, “Please strike me.” The man struck him and wounded him.
38 Hichun Themgaopan ponin mai akitom in, limput akhel’in, Israel lengpa hungna ding lampia ana ngah tan ahi.
So the prophet departed and waited for the king by the way, and disguised himself with his headband over his eyes.
39 Lengpan ahung phat in themgaopan ahin kouvin, “Hepu keima gal kiha satna laitah’a chun kana jaovin, phulou helouvin mikhat in gal hing khat ahinkai jin, amapa hi phaten anaching tup’in, itiham khatna na lhaso’a ahileh nathi ding ahilouleh dangka talent khat naleu ding ahi, ahung ti,” tin aseipeh tan ahi.
As the king passed by, he cried to the king, and he said, “Your servant went out into the middle of the battle; and behold, a man came over and brought a man to me, and said, ‘Guard this man! If by any means he is missing, then your life shall be for his life, or else you shall pay a talent of silver.’
40 “Ahinlah keiman thilkhat bolla kakisahlal laitah in, amachu ana jamdoh tan ahi,” ati. Hichun lengpan, “Achutileh nangma thepmo hichula, nangman nachunga thutanna nakiluilut ahitai,” tin adonbut in ahi.
As your servant was busy here and there, he was gone.” The king of Israel said to him, “So shall your judgment be. You yourself have decided it.”
41 Hichun themgaopa chun amit kitom chu ahin ladoh’in ahileh, lengpan themgao ho lah’a khat ahi tichu ahedoh tan ahi.
He hurried, and took the headband away from his eyes; and the king of Israel recognized that he was one of the prophets.
42 Chuin Themgaopa chun, “Pakaiyin hitihin aseiye, keiman na suhmang ding ahi kati pachu nalhaso jeh in tua hi nangma amakhel’a nathi ding ahitai chuleh ama mite khel’a nangma mite thi diu ahitai,” ati.
He said to him, “The LORD says, ‘Because you have let go out of your hand the man whom I had devoted to destruction, therefore your life will take the place of his life, and your people take the place of his people.’”
43 Hichun Israel lengpa chu lung hangtah leh maithim ketkut in a inlam ajon tan ahi.
The king of Israel went to his house sullen and angry, and came to Samaria.
