1 Lengte 21

1 Jezreel akonin Naboth kiti mikhat anaum in, ama hin Samaria lengpa Ahab leng inpi toh kinaicha in, Jezreel mun na chun lengpilei khat ana neijin ahi.

And it came to pass after these things, that Naboth the Jezreelite had a vineyard, which was in Jezreel, hard by the palace of Ahab, king of Samaria.

2 Nikhat hi Ahab min Naboth kom ah, “Na lengpilei hi ka leng inpi toh akinai jeh in, honna kanei dingin neiki chohsah tan, akhel in hiche sang’a lengpilei phajo nape ingting ahiloule na deijoh leh aman dingin sum joh peh lhon nang’e,” atipeh in ahi.

And Ahab spoke unto Naboth, saying: 'Give me thy vineyard, that I may have it for a garden of herbs, because it is near unto my house; and I will give thee for it a better vineyard than it; or, if it seem good to thee, I will give thee the worth of it in money.'

3 Ahin Naboth in adonbut in, “Kapu kapa khang’a pat’a kagou chin khat chu nang ka pehdoh jeng ding vang chu Pakai jahnom lou himai hen,” atipeh in ahi.

And Naboth said to Ahab: 'The LORD forbid it me, that I should give the inheritance of my fathers unto thee.'

4 Hiche Naboth donbutna chun Ahab chu alunghansah lheh jengin, lungnom mo tah’in ainlang’a achetan ahi. Lengpa chun an jong ane nom tapon, bang lang angan alum tan ahi.

And Ahab came into his house sullen and displeased because of the word which Naboth the Jezreelite had spoken to him; for he had said: 'I will not give thee the inheritance of my fathers.' And he laid him down upon his bed, and turned away his face, and would eat no bread.

5 Ajinu Jezebel chun, “Ipi nati ham? Ipi dinga lungnom mo tah a anne louva na um jeng ham?” tin adong in ahi.

But Jezebel his wife came to him, and said unto him: 'Why is thy spirit so sullen, that thou eatest no bread?'

6 Ahab in, “Naboth komah na lengpilei nei chohsah in ahi louleh akhel nape nang’e, kati leh anom pon ahi,” ati.

And he said unto her: 'Because I spoke unto Naboth the Jezreelite, and said unto him: Give me thy vineyard for money; or else, if it please thee, I will give thee another vineyard for it; and he answered: I will not give thee my vineyard.'

7 Jezebel in, “Nangma hi Israelte lengp nahi hilou ham? Thoudoh inlang an nen, hiche chungthua chun lungkham tah hih’in, keiman Naboth lengpilei chu nape nang’e,” atin ahi.

And Jezebel his wife said unto him: 'Dost thou now govern the kingdom of Israel? arise, and eat bread, and let thy heart be merry; I will give thee the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite.'

8 Hichun Jezebel in Ahab khel in ama min in lekha ajih in mohor anam khum in hichun khopi sunga lamkai holeh upa ho koma chun lekha athot in hitin anajih e,

So she wrote letters in Ahab's name, and sealed them with his seal, and sent the letters unto the elders and to the nobles that were in his city, and that dwelt with Naboth.

9 “Mipiho chu an-ngol a tao dingin koukhom unlang, Naboth chu mun thupi’a tou sah un,

And she wrote in the letters, saying: 'Proclaim a fast, and set Naboth at the head of the people;

10 Chuleh pannabei mi ni akoma tousah unlang, amani chun lengpa le Pathen atai tom’e tin themmo chan u-hen. Chujouteng kai doh’unlang song in seplih un,” ati.

and set two men, base fellows, before him, and let them bear witness against him, saying: Thou didst curse God and the king. And then carry him out, and stone him, that he die.'

11 Hiti chun khopi sunga upa ho leh lamkai ho chun Jezebel lekha a kijih thupeh dungjui chun abol tauvin ahi.

And the men of his city, even the elders and the nobles who dwelt in his city, did as Jezebel had sent unto them, according as it was written in the letters which she had sent unto them.

12 Amahon an ngol ding asom’un, Nabath chu mipi masanga thupitah in atousah un ahi.

They proclaimed a fast, and set Naboth at the head of the people.

13 Hijouchun mi pannabei mini chu amasanga atousah un, Naboth chu mipi masanga themmo achan lhonin, “Ama hin Pathen leh lengpa asamsen ahi,” ati lhonin ahi. Hijeh chun ama chu khopi po langa akaidoh un song in aseplih tauvin ahi.

And the two men, the base fellows, came in and sat before him; and the base fellows bore witness against him, even against Naboth, in the presence of the people, saying: 'Naboth did curse God and the king.' Then they carried him forth out of the city, and stoned him with stones, that he died.

14 Khopi lamkai ho chun Jezebel komah thu athot un, “Nabath chu aki seplih tai,” atiuvin ahi.

Then they sent to Jezebel, saying: 'Naboth is stoned, and is dead.'

15 Chuin Jezebel in hiche thu chu ajah phat in, Ahab jah’ah, “Naboth lengpilei nang kom’a ana joh nomlou chu nahet em? Ven ama athi tai, alengpilei khu na kilah thei ahi tai,” ati.

And it came to pass, when Jezebel heard that Naboth was stoned, and was dead, that Jezebel said to Ahab: 'Arise, take possession of the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite, which he refused to give thee for money; for Naboth is not alive, but dead.'

16 Hichun Ahab jong gangtah’in ache suh in Naboth lengpilei chu aga kichan tan ahi.

And it came to pass, when Ahab heard that Naboth was dead, that Ahab rose up to go down to the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite, to take possession of it.

17 Ahin Pakaiyin Elijah komah thu ahin seitan ahi.

And the word of the LORD came to Elijah the Tishbite, saying:

18 “Samaria a vaihompa Israel lengpa Ahab khu ga kimupi dingin chesuh tan, amachu Jezreel munna Naboth lengpileiya ama a ding akichan pet tah nato ding ahi,” ati.

'Arise, go down to meet Ahab king of Israel, who dwelleth in Samaria; behold, he is in the vineyard of Naboth, whither he is gone down to take possession of it.

19 Hiche thuhi ahengah seipeh in, “Pakaiyin hitin aseiye, Naboth na tha chu phakhopset lou ham? Hitiapihi anei agou nachom kit nalaiset ding ham? Hitia hi thil nabol jeh in, ui-chaten Naboth thisan ale na’u mun achun nang thisan jong ale di’u ahi,” agatisah tai.

And thou shalt speak unto him, saying: Thus saith the LORD: Hast thou killed, and also taken possessions? and thou shalt speak unto him, saying: Thus saith the LORD: In the place where dogs licked the blood of Naboth shall dogs lick thy blood, even thine.'

20 Hichun Ahab chu Elijah komah apeng jah jengin, “Tuahi kamelma pan, neihung mudoh kit hi tam?” atileh, Elijah in adonbut in, “Henge, nangman Pakai mitmu a thilse jeng bolna a nakipeh jing jeh a ka hungkit ahi tai,” ati.

And Ahab said to Elijah: 'Hast thou found me, O mine enemy?' And he answered: 'I have found thee; because thou hast given thyself over to do that which is evil in the sight of the LORD.

21 Hijeh chun tun Pakaiyin hitin aseiye, “Nangma naval-lhum jing thei manthahna kahin lhun khum sah ding, nangma chilhah te pasal ho chuleh nasohho chujongleh soh hilou ho jong Israel gamsung hoilai mun hijong leh kasuhmang ding ahi.

Behold, I will bring evil upon thee, and will utterly sweep thee away, and will cut off from Ahab every man-child, and him that is shut up and him that is left at large in Israel.

22 Keiman Ahijah chapa Baasha insung mite le Nebat chapa Jeroboam insung mite kasuh mang hel banga, nangma insung mite jong kasuhmang ding ahitai. Ajeh chu nangman keima nei sulunghang behseh jengin chuleh nangin Israel tehi nachonset sah tan ahi,” ati

And I will make thy house like the house of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, and like the house of Baasa the son of Ahijah, for the provocation wherewith thou hast provoked Me, and hast made Israel to sin.

23 “Chuleh Jezebel chungchang ahin, Pakaiyin hitin aseiye, ‘Jezreel mun’a gam behkhat chunga Jezebel tahsa chu uichan aneh ding ahi,” ati.

And of Jezebel also spoke the LORD, saying: The dogs shall eat Jezebel in the moat of Jezreel.

24 “Ahab insung mite jouse hiche khopi sunga thiho jouse jong chu uicha hon aneh dingu chuleh gam lah’a thiho jouse chu muthong hon aneh diu ahi,” ati.

Him that dieth of Ahab in the city the dogs shall eat; and him that dieth in the field shall the fowls of the air eat.'

25 Ajinu Jezebel in athu nun jeh'a Ahab min Pakai mitmua thilse bolna a aki pehlut banga kipehlut na koimacha dang aumpon ahi.

But there was none like unto Ahab, who did give himself over to do that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, whom Jezebel his wife stirred up.

26 Athil bolset nasa pen chu, milim doi Amon mite ahou bang uva ahou chu ahipen’e. Amaho hi Israelte lhun masanga Pakaiyin ana deldoh masat nam mite chu ahiuve.

And he did very abominably in following idols, according to all that the Amorites did, whom the LORD cast out before the children of Israel.

27 Hiche thupeh hi Ahab in ajah phat in, apon abottel in, khaodip pon akisel in, an angol in lunghem tah in khaodip pon chung ah alum in ahi.

And it came to pass, when Ahab heard those words, that he rent his clothes, and put sackcloth upon his flesh, and fasted, and lay in sackcloth, and went softy.

28 Hichun Pakaija kon’a thupeh Elijah kom’a ahung lhung kit in,

And the word of the LORD came to Elijah the Tishbite, saying:

29 “Ahab khu keima masanga ichangeiya amale ama kisunem’a hitam ti namu em? Aman hichen geija aki suhnem tah jeh in, keiman ka bolgot chu ama damsung in bol taponge, achate cheng leh achilhah chunga bou ka bolding, alenggam kasuhmang ding ahi tai,” ati.

'Seest thou how Ahab humbleth himself before Me? because he humbleth himself before Me, I will not bring the evil in his days; but in his son's days will I bring the evil upon his house.'
