And there passed three years without war between Syria and Israel.
2 Hiche jou kumthum lhin in, Judah lengpa Jehoshaphat in Israel lengpa Ahab chu agavil in ahi.
And in the third year, Josaphat king of Juda came down to the king of Israel.
3 Aman avil sung hin Israel lengpan asepaite komah, “Nanghon Ramoth-gilead khopi hi eihoa ahi na het uvem? Ahinla eihon hiche khopi hi Syriate khut’a kona nunglah dohna dingin imacha inabol pouvin ahi,” ati.
(And the king of Israel said to his servants: Know ye not-that Ramoth Galaad is ours, and we neglect to take it out of the hand of the king of Syria?)
4 Chuin aman Jehoshaphat lang chu angan, “Nang in Ramoth-gilead nunglah dohna dinga galsatna a hi neipanhu nomlou ham?” atin ahile, Jehoshaphat in Israel lengpa chu a donbut in, “I-bol a ka panhu da ding ham, nangle kei thakhat ihi chula em, ka sepaite jong na sepai ahin ka sakol ho jong na sakol ahi,” ati.
And he said to Josaphat: Wilt thou come with me to battle to Ramoth Galaad?
5 Jehoshaphat in, “Ahinla Pakajin ipi asei jem veuhite” tin aseibe kit in ahi.
And Josaphat said to the king of Israel: As I am, so art thou: my people and thy people are one: and my horsemen, thy horsemen. And Josaphat said to the king of Israel: Inquire, I beseech thee, this day, the word of the Lord.
6 Hichun Israelte lengpan themgao jali hochu akouvin amaho koma chun, “Ramoth-gilead douna gal ka kon ding ham ahi lou leh ka kon lou ding ham?” tin anadongin ahi. Amahon abon uvin a donbut un, “Aphai, kondoh jing in, Pakaiyin galjona napeh ding ahi,” atiuve.
Then the king of Israel assembled the prophets, about four hundred men, and he said to them: Shall I go to Ramoth Galaad to fight, or shall I forbear? They answered: Go up, and the Lord will deliver it into the hand of the king.
7 Ahinlah Jehoshaphat in, “Hiche muna hi hitobang thudoh mama hijong le idoh thei diu themgao adang umlou ham,” atin ahi.
And Josaphat said: Is there not here some prophet of the Lord, that we may inquire by him?
8 Israel lengpan Jehoshaphat jah’a, “Hitobanga Pakai koma eidohpeh thei diu kahet mikhat aum nalaiye, ahinlah ama hin kei dingin thilphalou ngen aseijin ahi. Ama chu Imlah chapa Micaiah ahi,” tin anadonbut in ahi. Jehoshaphat in adonbut in, “Lengkhat in hitia chu thu asei ngei ahipoi! Aman ipi asei em ngaiju hite,” ati.
And the king of Israel said to Josaphat: There is one man left, by whom we may inquire of the Lord: Micheas the son of Jemla; but I hate him, for he doth not prophesy good to me, but evil. And Josaphat said: Speak not so, O king.
9 Hijeh chun Israel lengpan asepaiho khatchu akouvin, “Imlah chapa Micaiah chu gapui loijin,” ati.
Then the king of Israel called an eunuch, and said to him: Make haste, and bring hither Micheas the son of Jemla.
10 Israel lengpa Ahab leh Judah lengpa Jehoshaphat chu leng vonin akivon lhon in, Samaria khopi kelkot kom changvohna phol munna chun laltouna akido lhonin atoulhon in ahi. Ahab themgaoho chun amani masanga chun gaothu aphong phong jeng un ahi.
Then the king of Israel, and Josaphat king of Juda, sat each on his throne clothed with royal robes, in a court by the entrance of the gate of Samaria, and all the prophets prophesied before them.
11 Amaho lah’a khatpen Kenaanah chapa Zedekiah kitipa chun, thih saki lim in asemin hiti hin asamphong in, “Hitihin Pakaiyin aseiye, Hiche thih saki hi nasutna Syriate chu najo ding ahi,” ati.
And Sedecias the son of Chanaana made himself horns of iron, and said: Thus saith the Lord: With these shalt thou push Syria, till thou destroy it.
12 Themgao dangho jong athusei chu anom un, hitin aseikit uve, “Ramoth-gilead’a chun kaltou unlang gal gajou’un, ajeh chu Pakaiyin lengpa chu galjona apehding ahi,” atiuve.
And all the prophets prophesied in like manner, saying: Go up to Ramoth Galaad, and prosper, for the Lord will deliver it into the king’s hands.
13 Alangkhat ah, Micaiah koma che asottolpa chun ajah’a, “Ven, themgao dang ho jousen lengpa koma chun galjona ding ngen aseipeh un, nangin jong amaho bang in galjo na ding seipeh in,” ati.
And the messenger, that went to call Micheas, spoke to him, saying: Behold the words of the prophets with one month declare good things to the king: let thy word therefore be like to theirs, and speak that which is good.
14 Ahinlah Micaiah in adonbut in, “Hingjing Pakai min’a kasei ahi, Pakaiyin seijin ati bou ka sei ding ahi,” atipeh in ahi.
But Micheas said to him: As the Lord liveth, whatsoever the Lord shall say to me, that will I speak.
15 Micaiah themgao chu lengpa kom alhun phat in, Ahab in jong ajah’a, “Micaiah, Ramoth-gilead douna a kache diu ham ahilouleh kachelou diu ham?” atileh Micaiah in jong jonkap tah’in, “Aphai, chetouvun lang ga jou un, Pakaiyin lengpa galjona nape naveh ta!” ati peh in ahi.
So he came to the king, and the king said to him: Micheas, shall we go to Ramoth Galaad to battle, or shall we forbear? He answered him: Go up, and prosper, and the Lord shall deliver it into the king’s hands.
16 Ahin lengpan gangtah in adonbut in, “Pakai thalhenga kakoma thu nasei tengleh thudih bou seijin tia i-jatvei ka ngeh hitam?” atin ahi.
But the king said to him: I adjure thee again and again, that thou tell me nothing but that which is true in the name of the Lord.
17 Hichun Micaiah in, “Keiman gao’in thilkhat kamu’e, Israelte molchunga kelngoi achingbei tobanga akithe cheh kamun ahi, chule Pakaiyin, a pakaipau akithat ahitai, tun amaho chu lungmong in sol tauvin,” ati.
And he said: I saw all Israel scattered upon the hills, like sheep that have no shepherd: and the Lord said: These have no master: let every man of them return to his house in peace.
18 Israel lengpan Jehoshaphat jah’a asaptho jengin, “Kaseipeh sa hilou ham? Amahin, kakom ah thilse tilou thilpha eisei peh khapon ahi,” ati.
(Then the king of Israel said to Josaphat: Did I not tell thee, that he prophesieth no good to me, but always evil?)
19 Hichun Micaiah in aseiben, “Ngaijun Pakaiyin aseiye! Pakai chu avan sepaiho chengin ajet avei’ah aumkim vellun Ama alaltouna a atouve,” ati.
And he added and said: Hear thou therefore the word of the Lord: I saw the Lord sitting on his throne, and all the army of heaven standing by him on the right hand and on the left:
20 Pakaiyin, ‘Ahab hi athi nadinga Ramoth-gilead douna gal kon ding’a koipen atildoh ding ache ding ham? atile, hichea chun lunggel tamtah aseikhom uvin,
And the Lord said: Who shall deceive Achab king of Israel, that he may go up, and fall at Ramoth Galaad? And one spoke words of this manner, and another otherwise.
21 Achaina in, lhagao khat in, Pakai komma chun keiman choudoh ing kate, ati.
And there came forth a spirit, and stood before the Lord, and said: I will deceive him. And the Lord said to him: By what means?
22 “Pakaiyin i-nalo got ham?” atile, “Lhagao chun adonbut nin keima che ingting Ahab themgao ho thujou asei diuvin gatil doh ing kate” ati. Hichun Pakaiyin nalolhin ding ahi chenlang gabol tan,” ati.
And he said: I will go forth, and be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets. And the Lord said: Thou shalt deceive him, and shalt prevail: a go forth, and do so.
23 “Tun vetan Pakaiyin nathemgao ho koma thujou asei sah ahitai, ajeh chu Pakaiyin na manthah na dinga aphondoh joh ahi,” atipeh tai.
Now therefore behold the Lord hath given a lying spirit in the mouth of all thy prophets that are here, and the Lord hath spoken evil against thee.
24 Hichun Kenaanah chapa Zedekiah chun Micaiah chu ajon in angei phe abehpeh in ahi. “Hoiya patna chu Pakaiyin keima eidalhah’a, nang koma bou thu asei jeng ham,” ati.
And Sedecias the son of Chanaana came, and struck Micheas on the cheek, and said: Hath then the spirit of the Lord left me, and spoken to thee?
25 Micaiah in adonbut in, “Nangma na insung dan sung khat na aguh’a kisel’a nache tengleh hedoh tan nate,” ati.
And Micheas said: Thou shalt see in the day when thou shalt go into a chamber within a chamber to hide thyself.
26 Chuin Ahab lengpan, “Amachu man unlang khopi gamvaipo Amon kom leh ka chapa Joash koma puilut un,” tin thu apen ahi.
And the king of Israel said: Take Micheas, and let him abide with Ammon the governor of the city, and with Joas the son of Amalech.
27 Keima damsella kahung kilekit kahsen songkul’a ana hen unlang aneh dingin changlhah leh tuibou anape un, tin seipeh un,” ati.
And tell them: Thus saith the king: Put this man in prison, and feed him with bread of affliction, and water of distress, till I return in peace.
28 Hichun Micaiah in adonbut in, “Ven nangma damsella nahung kilepou pou leh Pakaiyin keima eimanchah lou hiding ahi,” ati, aban aseibe kit in, “Mijousen kathu seihi melchih un,” ati.
And Micheas said: If thou return in peace, the Lord hath not spoken by me. And he said: Hear, all ye people.

And the king of Israel said to Josaphat: Take armour, and go into the battle, and put on thy own garments. But the king of Israel changed his dress, and went into the battle.

And the king of Syria had commanded the two and thirty captains of the chariots, saying: You shall not fight against any, small or great, but against the king of Israel only.

And a certain man bent his bow, shooting at a venture, and chanced to strike the king of Israel between the lungs and the stomach. But he said to the driver of his chariot: Turn thy hand, and carry me out of the army, for I am grievously wounded.
