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 was very wealthy and highly honored, and he made a marriage alliance with Ahab.
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.
Some years later he went to pay Ahab a visit in Samaria. Ahab sacrificed many sheep and cattle for him and the people who accompanied him, and encouraged him to attack 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.
Ahab, king of Israel, asked Jehoshaphat, king of Judah, “Would you go with me against Ramoth-gilead?” Jehoshaphat replied, “You and I are as one, and my men and your men are as one. We will join forces with you in this 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, “But first though, please find out what the Lord says.”
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 brought out the prophets—four hundred of them—and he asked them, “Should we go up and attack Ramoth-gilead, or should I not?” “Yes, go ahead,” they replied, “for God will hand it over to the king.”
6 Ahinlah Jehoshaphat in, “Tua hi eihon idoh theiju themgao adang umlou hitam?” ati.
But Jehoshaphat asked, “Isn't there another prophet of the Lord here that we can ask?”
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.
“Yes, there's another man who could consult the Lord,” the king of Israel replied, “but I don't like him because he never prophesies anything good for me—it's always bad! His name is Micaiah, son of Imlah.” “You shouldn't talk like that,” said Jehoshaphat.
8 Hiche phat chun Israel lengpan a sepai lamkai khat chu akouvin, Imla chapa Micaiah chu gangtah in gapuijin ati.
The king of Israel called over one of his officials and told him, “Bring me Micaiah, son of Imlah, right away.”
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
Dressed in their royal robes, the king of Israel and King Jehoshaphat of Judah, were sitting on their thrones at the threshing floor beside the gate of Samaria, with all of the prophets prophesying in front of them.
10 Zedekiah chun thih alan saki limin asemmin, Pakaiyin hitin aseije, “Nangman hiche saki hi namanna Syria mite chu nasuhmang ding ahi,” ati.
One of them, Zedekiah, son of Chenaanah, had made himself iron horns. He announced, “This is what the Lord says: ‘With these horns you will gore the Arameans until they're dead!”
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
All the prophets were prophesying the same thing, saying, “Go ahead, attack Ramoth-gilead; you will be successful, for the Lord will hand it over to 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.
The messenger who went to call Micaiah told him, “Look, all the prophets are unanimous in prophesying positively to the king. So please make sure to speak positively like them.”
13 Hichu Micaiah in adonbut in, “Hingjing Pakai minna kasei ahi, ka Pathen in asei seibou kaseiding ahi,” ati.
But Micaiah replied, “As the Lord lives, I can only say what my God tells me.”
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 before the king, the king asked him, “Should we go up and attack Ramoth-gilead, or should I not?” “Yes, go ahead and be victorious,” Micaiah replied, “for they will be handed over to the king.”
15 Hichun lengpan hitin aseije, “Micaiah nangkom mahi ijatvei Pakai minnin thudih seijin tia kangeh ding nahim?” atin ahi.
But the king said to him, “How many times must I make you swear to tell me only the truth 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.
So Micaiah answered, “I saw all Israel scattered on the mountains like sheep without a shepherd. The Lord said, ‘These people have no master; let each of them go home in peace.’”
17 Israel lengpa chun Jehoshaphat komma hitin aseije, “Amahin kakomma thilpha asei khapon, thilse jeng aseije kati hilouham?” atin ahi.
The king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, “Didn't I tell you he never prophesies anything good for me, only bad?”
18 Hichun Micaiah in aseijin Pakaiyin hitin aseije, “Ngaijun Pakai chu alal touna – a atouvin van mite chu ajet aveijah adingun ahi.”
Micaiah went on to say, “So listen to what the Lord says. I saw the Lord sitting on his throne, surrounded by the whole army of heaven standing to his right and to 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.
The Lord asked, ‘Who will trick Ahab, king of Israel, into attacking Ramoth-gilead so he will be killed there?’ One said this, another said that, and another said something else.
20 Hichun lhagao khat nin Pakai angsung ahin nailut nin keima chengtin galhem lhange ati, Pakaiyin i-nagalo ding ham? ati.
Finally a spirit came and approached the Lord and said, ‘I will trick him.’ ‘How are you going to do that?’ the Lord asked.
21 “Hichun aman keima chengting Ahab themgao jouse chu jou gaseisah ingkate ati, Pakaiyin chenlang hiti chun gabollin lang hung lolhing tan,” ati.
‘I will go and be a lying spirit and make all his prophets tell lies,’ the spirit replied. ‘That will work,’ the Lord responded. ‘Go and do it.’
22 Hijeh chun veovin! “Pakaiyin a themgao jouse chu jou aseisah ahin, Pakaiyin naman thah nadinga asei sah ahibouve,” ati.
As you see, the Lord has put a lying spirit into these prophets of yours, and the Lord has pronounced your death sentence.”
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, son of Chenaanah, went and slapped Micaiah in the face, and demanded, “Which way did the Spirit of the Lord go when he left me to speak to you?”
24 Micaiah chun adonbut in “Tomlam a nalhailut’a naga kisel teng hetannate!” atipehin ahi.
“You'll soon find out when you try and find some secret place to hide!” Micaiah replied.
25 Hichun Israel lengpan a sepai lamkai komma chun, man inlang khopi vaihompa leh leng chapa Joash kommah ga pelut tan ati.
The king of Israel ordered, “Place Micaiah under arrest and take him back to Amon the governor of the city and to my son Joash.
26 Amani komma chun songkulla akoilhon ding keima damsella kahung kilekit kahsen anehding changlhah themkhat toh twi themkhat anapeo vin ati.
Tell them these are the king's instructions: ‘Put this man in jail. Give him only bread and water until my safe return.’”
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.
“If you do in fact return safely then the Lord has not spoken through me,” Micaiah declared. “Pay attention everyone to all I've said!”
28 Hiche jouchun Israel lengpan Ahab leh Judah lengpa Jehoshaphat chu, Ramoth – Gilead khopi chu abulu dingin akondoh lhontai.
The king of Israel and Jehoshaphat, king of Judah, went to attack 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.
The king of Israel told Jehoshaphat, “When I go into battle I will be in disguise, but you should wear your royal robes.” So the king of Israel disguised himself and went into battle.
30 Syria lengpa chun sakol kangchunga tou gallam kai hochu Israel lengpa bou atup diuvin thu apen ahi.
The king of Aram had already given these orders to his chariot commanders: “Head straight for the king of Israel alone. Don't fight with anyone else, whoever they are.”
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 chariot commanders saw Jehoshaphat, they shouted, “There's the king of Israel!” So they turned to attack him, but Jehoshaphat called out for help, and the Lord did help him. God redirected them away from him,
32 Sakol kangchunga tou lamkai hochun ama chu Israel lengpa ahilou ahedoh tauvin adalha tauve.
for when the chariot commanders realized that he wasn't the king of Israel, they stopped chasing 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.
However, an enemy archer shot an arrow at random, hitting the king of Israel between the joints of his armor by his breastplate. The king told his charioteer, “Turn around and get me out of the fight, because I've been 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.
The battle lasted all day. The king of Israel propped himself up in his chariot to face the Arameans until the evening. But he died at sunset.
