2 Thusimbu 18

1 Jehoshaphat hi haona le jabolna'a bulhing setnin ananeitan ahi. Amahin numei kilah tona lamma Ahab to kisam kaina ananei lhonnin ahi.

Now Jehoshaphat had great wealth and honour, and his son was married to Ahab's daughter.

2 Kum phabep jouhin Samaria Ahab villin aga che suhin ahileh, Ahab in bongchal leh kelngoi athat nin ama leh ahin kilhon piho nehding chun nengtah in anagon peh in; chuleh Ramoth Gilead langa chetou dingin ana tem in ahi.

And after some years he went down to Samaria to see Ahab. And Ahab made a feast for him and the people who were with him, putting to death great numbers of sheep and oxen; and he got Jehoshaphat to go with him to Ramoth-gilead.

3 Ahab lengpa chun Jehoshaphat jah’a chun Ramoth Gilead toh kidouna dinga hi neihung kitho pi ding ham anatin ahi. Jehoshaphat chun adonbut in, “Keile nang thakhat ihin, keimite jong nang mite ahin hiche galla chun nahung kithopi nange,” ati.

For Ahab, king of Israel, said to Jehoshaphat, king of Judah, Will you go with me to Ramoth-gilead? And he said, I am as you are, and my people as your people; we will be with you in the war.

4 Chujongleh Jehoshaphat chun Israel lengpa komma chun aseijin, “Tunin Pathenin epi asei jem veohite ati”

Then Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel, Let us now get directions from the Lord.

5 Hichun Israel lengpan themgao jali akou khommin amaho chu adongin, “Keiho hi Ramoth – Gilead satna galkon na kachediu ham ahilouleh kacheda diuham?” ati. Hichun amaho chun, “Chetou jengun amaho chu Pathen in lengpa nangkhut a ahin pehdoh ding ahi,” atiuve.

So the king of Israel got together all the prophets, four hundred men, and said to them, Am I to go to Ramoth-gilead to make war or not? And they said, Go up: for God will give it into the hands of the king.

6 Ahinlah Jehoshaphat in, “Tua hi eihon idoh theiju themgao adang umlou hitam?” ati.

But Jehoshaphat said, Is there no other prophet of the Lord here from whom we may get directions?

7 Israel lengpa chun Jehoshaphat kom’a, “Eihon idoh theiju Pakai themgao khatvang aumme, ahinlah keiman amahi kavetnom poi; ajeh chu amahin keidinga thilpha aseingai jipon, thilphalou ngen eisei peh ji ahi. Amachu Imla chapa Micaiah kitipa chu ahi. Hichun Jehoshaphat in, “Lengpa hiti chun thu seihih in,” ati.

And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, There is still one man by whom we may get directions from the Lord, but I have no love for him, because he has never been a prophet of good to me, but only of evil: he is Micaiah, the son of Imla. And Jehoshaphat said, Let not the king say so.

8 Hiche phat chun Israel lengpan a sepai lamkai khat chu akouvin, Imla chapa Micaiah chu gangtah in gapuijin ati.

Then the king of Israel sent for one of his unsexed servants and said, Go quickly and come back with Micaiah, the son of Imla.

9 Israel lengpaleh Judah lengpa Jehoshaphat chu aleng von lhon cheh a akivon lhonin, Samaria khopi lutna kelkot lutna tollhang achun atou lhonin amasang lhonna themgao hochun gaothu aseijun ahi

Now the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat, the king of Judah, were seated on their seats of authority, dressed in their robes, by the doorway into Samaria; and all the prophets were acting as prophets before them.

10 Zedekiah chun thih alan saki limin asemmin, Pakaiyin hitin aseije, “Nangman hiche saki hi namanna Syria mite chu nasuhmang ding ahi,” ati.

And Zedekiah, the son of Chenaanah, made himself iron horns and said, The Lord says, Pushing back the Aramaeans with these, you will put an end to them completely.

11 Hitichun themgao ho jouse chun gaothu aseisoh keijun, Ramoth Gilead jonin chetouvun nalolhin diu ahi, ajeh chu Pakaiyin amaho chu lengpa khutna ahin pehlut ding ahi atiuve

And all the prophets said the same thing, saying, Go up to Ramoth-gilead, and it will go well for you, for the Lord will give it into the hands of the king.

12 Micaiah kouva kisol pachun akom’a hitin aseijin, “Ven, themgao ho jouse chun lengpan gal ajo dingin aseisoh keijun ahi, nangman jong hitimachun seile chun phading ahi,” atipeh e.

Now the servant who had gone to get Micaiah said to him, See now, all the prophets with one voice are saying good things to the king; so let your words be like theirs, and say good things.

13 Hichu Micaiah in adonbut in, “Hingjing Pakai minna kasei ahi, ka Pathen in asei seibou kaseiding ahi,” ati.

And Micaiah said, By the living Lord, whatever the Lord says to me I will say.

14 Micaiah chu lengpa kom ahung lhun phat in, lengpan, “Micaiah Ramoth – Gilead na hi galsatna kache diuham ahilouleh kache dauva pha ham? tin adongin ahileh aman, “Cheovin galolhing tauvin amaho chun nangma khut-a pehdoh in umnante,” atipeh in ahi.

When he came to the king, the king said to him, Micaiah, are we to go to Ramoth-gilead to make war or not? And he said, Go up, and it will go well for you; and they will be given up into your hands.

15 Hichun lengpan hitin aseije, “Micaiah nangkom mahi ijatvei Pakai minnin thudih seijin tia kangeh ding nahim?” atin ahi.

And the king said to him, Have I not, again and again, put you on your oath to say nothing to me but what is true in the name of the Lord?

16 Hichun Micaiah in aseijin, “Keiman Israel tehi achingbei kelngoi banga molchung dunga akithe cheh-u kamui,” chuleh Pakaiyin hitin aseijin “Amaho hi lungmongin a incheh uva kileu hen,” ati.

Then he said, I saw all Israel wandering on the mountains like sheep without a keeper; and the Lord said, These have no master: let them go back, every man to his house in peace.

17 Israel lengpa chun Jehoshaphat komma hitin aseije, “Amahin kakomma thilpha asei khapon, thilse jeng aseije kati hilouham?” atin ahi.

And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, Did I not say that he would not be a prophet of good to me, but of evil?

18 Hichun Micaiah in aseijin Pakaiyin hitin aseije, “Ngaijun Pakai chu alal touna – a atouvin van mite chu ajet aveijah adingun ahi.”

Then he said, Give ear now to the word of the Lord: I saw the Lord seated on his seat of power, and all the army of heaven in their places, at his right hand and at his left.

19 “Pakai chun hitin aseijin, “Koipenin Ahab komma nacheova Ramoth – Gilead nakhu aga lhuhkam nadinga naga seipeh diu ham? Hichun vantil khatchun hitin aseijin achom khat nin thilchom aseijin ahi.

And the Lord said, How may Ahab, king of Israel, be tricked into going up to Ramoth-gilead to his death? And one said one thing and one another.

20 Hichun lhagao khat nin Pakai angsung ahin nailut nin keima chengtin galhem lhange ati, Pakaiyin i-nagalo ding ham? ati.

Then a spirit came forward and took his place before the Lord and said, I will get him to do it by a trick. And the Lord said to him, How?

21 “Hichun aman keima chengting Ahab themgao jouse chu jou gaseisah ingkate ati, Pakaiyin chenlang hiti chun gabollin lang hung lolhing tan,” ati.

And he said, I will go out and be a spirit of deceit in the mouth of all his prophets. And the Lord said, Your trick will have its effect on him: go out and do so.

22 Hijeh chun veovin! “Pakaiyin a themgao jouse chu jou aseisah ahin, Pakaiyin naman thah nadinga asei sah ahibouve,” ati.

And now, see, the Lord has put a spirit of deceit in the mouth of these prophets of yours; and the Lord has said evil against you.

23 Hichun Chenaanah chapa Zedekiah chun anailut nin angeiphe abeh pih in, itih a chu Pakai lhagaovin keima eidalhah a nangkomma thu asei ham?” ati.

Then Zedekiah, the son of Chenaanah, came near and gave Micaiah a blow on the side of his face, saying, Where is the spirit of the Lord whose word is in you?

24 Micaiah chun adonbut in “Tomlam a nalhailut’a naga kisel teng hetannate!” atipehin ahi.

And Micaiah said, Truly, you will see on that day when you go into an inner room to keep yourself safe.

25 Hichun Israel lengpan a sepai lamkai komma chun, man inlang khopi vaihompa leh leng chapa Joash kommah ga pelut tan ati.

And the king of Israel said, Take Micaiah and send him back to Amon, the ruler of the town, and to Joash, the king's son;

26 Amani komma chun songkulla akoilhon ding keima damsella kahung kilekit kahsen anehding changlhah themkhat toh twi themkhat anapeo vin ati.

And say, By the king's order this man is to be put in prison, and given prison food till I come back in peace.

27 Micaiah in asamjah jengin, nangma nahung kile poupouleh Pathen in keikomma thu aseilou hiding ahi! ati. “Chuleh aman Avella umho kommachun hiche kasei hi jasoh keijun,” ati.

And Micaiah said, If you come back at all in peace, the Lord has not sent his word by me.

28 Hiche jouchun Israel lengpan Ahab leh Judah lengpa Jehoshaphat chu, Ramoth – Gilead khopi chu abulu dingin akondoh lhontai.

So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat, the king of Judah, went up to Ramoth-gilead.

29 Ahab chun Jehoshaphat kommah hitin aseijin, “Galmunna ilut tengleh nangin lengvon kivon nin lang, ken vonchom kivon inge,” ati. Hichun Israel lengpa chun vonchom aki vonnin gal munnah aluttan ahi.

And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, I will make a change in my clothing, so that I do not seem to be the king, and will go into the fight; but do you put on your robes. So the king of Israel made a change in his dress, and they went to the fight.

30 Syria lengpa chun sakol kangchunga tou gallam kai hochu Israel lengpa bou atup diuvin thu apen ahi.

Now the king of Aram had given orders to the captains of his war-carriages, saying, Make no attack on small or great, but only on the king of Israel.

31 Hijeh chun Jehoshaphat lengpa chu amu phatnun Israel lengpa ahisah sohkeijun, anokhum tauvin ahi. Ahinlah Jehoshaphat chu apeng jah in ahileh, Pakaiyin ahuhdoh in ama nokhumho chu adalhah sah tan ahi.

So when the captains of the war-carriages saw Jehoshaphat, they said, It is the king of Israel. And turning about, they came round him, but Jehoshaphat gave a cry, and the Lord came to his help, and God sent them away from him.

32 Sakol kangchunga tou lamkai hochun ama chu Israel lengpa ahilou ahedoh tauvin adalha tauve.

Now when the captains of the war-carriages saw that he was not the king of Israel, they went back from going after him.

33 Ahinlah Syria sepai khatnin thalchang khatchu agah donkapmin ahileh, Israel lengpa galvon kikah – a chun akaplut khatan ahi, hichun asakol kangtalai tolpa komma chun kakitong khatai galmunna kon in neitol doh tan atin ahi.

And a certain man sent an arrow from his bow without thought of its direction, and gave the king of Israel a wound where his breastplate was joined to his clothing; so he said to the driver of his war-carriage, Go to one side and take me away out of the army, for I am badly wounded.

34 Hiche ni chun galkisat chu akhoh cheh jengin, Israel lengpa vangchu sakol kangtalai chunga aoplhatan, nilhah lang geijin Syria te lang chu angan nilhum kon in athitai.

But the fight became more violent while the day went on; and the king of Israel was supported in his war-carriage facing the Aramaeans till the evening; and by sundown he was dead.
