Three years passed without war between Aram and Israel.
2 Hiche jou kumthum lhin in, Judah lengpa Jehoshaphat in Israel lengpa Ahab chu agavil in ahi.
Then it came about that in the third year, Jehoshaphat the king of Judah went 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.
Now the king of Israel had said to his servants, “Do you know that Ramoth Gilead is ours, but that we are doing nothing to take it from the hand of the king of Aram?”
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.
So he said to Jehoshaphat, “Will you go with me to war at Ramoth Gilead?” Jehoshaphat replied to the king of Israel, “I am like you, my people are like your people, and my horses are like your horses.”
5 Jehoshaphat in, “Ahinla Pakajin ipi asei jem veuhite” tin aseibe kit in ahi.
Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel, “Please seek direction from the word of Yahweh for what you should do first.”
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 gathered the prophets together, four hundred men, and said to them, “Should I go to Ramoth Gilead to battle, or should I not?” They said, “Attack, for the Lord will give 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.
But Jehoshaphat said, “Is there not here yet another prophet of Yahweh from whom we might seek advice?”
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.
The king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, “There is still one man by whom we may seek advice from Yahweh to help, Micaiah son of Imlah, but I hate him because he does not prophesy anything good about me, but only hardships.” But Jehoshaphat said, “May the king not say that.”
9 Hijeh chun Israel lengpan asepaiho khatchu akouvin, “Imlah chapa Micaiah chu gapui loijin,” ati.
Then the king of Israel called an officer and commanded, “Bring Micaiah son of Imlah, right away.”
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.
Now Ahab the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah were sitting each on a throne, clothed in their robes, in an open place at the entrance of the gate of Samaria, and all the prophets were prophesying 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.
Zedekiah son of Kenaanah made himself horns of iron and said, “Yahweh says this: 'With these you will push the Arameans until they are consumed.'”
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.
Then all the prophets prophesied the same, saying, “Attack Ramoth Gilead and win, for Yahweh has given it into the hand of the king.”
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.
The messenger who went to call Micaiah spoke to him, saying, “Now look, the words of the prophets declare good things to the king with one mouth. Please let your word be like one of them and say good things.”
14 Ahinlah Micaiah in adonbut in, “Hingjing Pakai min’a kasei ahi, Pakaiyin seijin ati bou ka sei ding ahi,” atipeh in ahi.
Micaiah replied, “As Yahweh lives, it is what Yahweh says to me that I will say.”
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.
When he came to the king, the king said to him, “Micaiah, should we go to Ramoth Gilead for battle, or not?” Micaiah answered him, “Attack and win. Yahweh will give it into the hand of the king.”
16 Ahin lengpan gangtah in adonbut in, “Pakai thalhenga kakoma thu nasei tengleh thudih bou seijin tia i-jatvei ka ngeh hitam?” atin ahi.
Then the king said to him, “How many times must I require you to swear to tell me nothing but the truth in the name of Yahweh?”
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.
So Micaiah said, “I saw all Israel scattered to the mountains, like sheep who have no shepherd, and Yahweh said, 'These have no shepherd. Let every man 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.
So the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, “Did I not tell you that he would not prophesy good concerning me, but only disaster?”
19 Hichun Micaiah in aseiben, “Ngaijun Pakaiyin aseiye! Pakai chu avan sepaiho chengin ajet avei’ah aumkim vellun Ama alaltouna a atouve,” ati.
Then Micaiah said, “Therefore hear the word of Yahweh: I saw Yahweh sitting on his throne, and all the host of heaven were standing by him on his right hand and on his 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,
Yahweh said, 'Who will entice Ahab, so that he may go up and fall at Ramoth Gilead?' One of them said this and another one said that.
21 Achaina in, lhagao khat in, Pakai komma chun keiman choudoh ing kate, ati.
Then a spirit came forward, stood before Yahweh, and said, 'I will entice him.' Yahweh said to him, 'How?'
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.
The spirit replied, 'I will go out and be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets.' Yahweh replied, 'You will entice him, and you will also be successful. Go now 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 see, Yahweh has put a lying spirit in the mouth of all these prophets of yours, and Yahweh has decreed disaster for you.”
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.
Then Zedekiah son of Kenaanah, came up, slapped Micaiah on the cheek, and said, “Which way did the Spirit of Yahweh take to go from me to speak to you?”
25 Micaiah in adonbut in, “Nangma na insung dan sung khat na aguh’a kisel’a nache tengleh hedoh tan nate,” ati.
Micaiah said, “Look, you will see on that day when you will go to hide in an inner room.”
26 Chuin Ahab lengpan, “Amachu man unlang khopi gamvaipo Amon kom leh ka chapa Joash koma puilut un,” tin thu apen ahi.
The king of Israel said to his servant, “Seize Micaiah and take him to Amon, the governor of the city, and to Joash, my son.
27 Keima damsella kahung kilekit kahsen songkul’a ana hen unlang aneh dingin changlhah leh tuibou anape un, tin seipeh un,” ati.
Say to him, 'The king says, Put this man in prison and feed him with only a little bread and only a little water, until I come safely.'”
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.
Then Micaiah said, “If you return safely, then Yahweh has not spoken by me.” Then he added, “Listen to this, all you people.”

The king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, “I will disguise myself and go into the battle, but you put on your royal robes.” So the king of Israel disguised himself and went into the battle.
31 Alang khatna Syria lengpan sakol kangtalai touthem lamkai somthum le ni ho jah’a chun, “Israel lengpa bou chu nokhum un adangho chu limsah hih un,” ati.
Now the king of Aram had commanded the thirty-two captains of his chariots, saying, “Do not attack unimportant or important soldiers. Instead, attack only the king of Israel.”

But a certain man drew his bow at random and shot the king of Israel between the joints of his armor. Then Ahab said to the driver of his chariot, “Turn around and carry me out of the battle, for I am badly wounded.”
