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 riches and honour in abundance, and allied himself with Ahab by marriage.
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 certain years he went down to Ahab to Samaria. And Ahab killed sheep and oxen for him in abundance, and for the people that he had with him, and persuaded him to go up with him to Ramothgilead.
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.
And Ahab king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat king of Judah, Wilt thou go with me to Ramothgilead? And he answered him, I am as thou art, and my people as thy people; and we will be with thee in the war.
4 Chujongleh Jehoshaphat chun Israel lengpa komma chun aseijin, “Tunin Pathenin epi asei jem veohite ati”
And Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel, Enquire, I pray thee, at the word of the LORD to day.
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.
Therefore the king of Israel gathered together of prophets four hundred men, and said to them, Shall we go to Ramothgilead to battle, or shall I forbear? And they said, Go up; for God will deliver it into the king’s hand.
6 Ahinlah Jehoshaphat in, “Tua hi eihon idoh theiju themgao adang umlou hitam?” ati.
But Jehoshaphat said, Is there not here a prophet of the LORD besides, that we may enquire of him?
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 yet one man, by whom we may enquire of the LORD: but I hate him; for he never prophesieth good to me, but always evil: the same 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.
And the king of Israel called for one of his officers, and said, Bring quickly 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
And the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat king of Judah sat each of them on his throne, clothed in their robes, and they sat in an open place at the entrance of the gate of Samaria; and all the prophets prophesied 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 had made him horns of iron, and said, Thus saith the LORD, With these thou shalt push Syria until they shall be consumed.
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 prophesied so, saying, Go up to Ramothgilead, and prosper: for the LORD shall deliver it into the hand 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.
And the messenger that went to call Micaiah spoke to him, saying, Behold, the words of the prophets declare good to the king with one consent; let thy word therefore, I pray thee, be like one of theirs, and speak thou good.
13 Hichu Micaiah in adonbut in, “Hingjing Pakai minna kasei ahi, ka Pathen in asei seibou kaseiding ahi,” ati.
And Micaiah said, As the LORD liveth, even what my God saith, that will I speak.
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.
And when he had come to the king, the king said to him, Micaiah, shall we go to Ramothgilead to battle, or shall I forbear? And he said, Go ye up, and prosper, and they shall be delivered into your hand.
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, How many times shall I adjure thee that thou say nothing but the truth to me 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 scattered upon the mountains, as sheep that have no shepherd: and the LORD said, These have no master; let them return therefore 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 tell thee that he would not prophesy good to me, but evil?
18 Hichun Micaiah in aseijin Pakaiyin hitin aseije, “Ngaijun Pakai chu alal touna – a atouvin van mite chu ajet aveijah adingun ahi.”
Again he said, Therefore hear the word of the LORD; I saw the LORD sitting upon his throne, and all the host of heaven standing on his right hand and on 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, Who shall entice Ahab king of Israel, that he may go up and fall at Ramothgilead? And one spoke saying after this manner, and another saying after that manner.
20 Hichun lhagao khat nin Pakai angsung ahin nailut nin keima chengtin galhem lhange ati, Pakaiyin i-nagalo ding ham? ati.
Then there came out a spirit, and stood before the LORD, and said, I will entice him. 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 lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets. And the LORD said, Thou shalt entice him, and thou shalt also prevail: go out, and do even so.
22 Hijeh chun veovin! “Pakaiyin a themgao jouse chu jou aseisah ahin, Pakaiyin naman thah nadinga asei sah ahibouve,” ati.
Now therefore, behold, the LORD hath put a lying spirit in the mouth of these thy prophets, and the LORD hath spoken evil against thee.
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 smote Micaiah upon the cheek, and said, Which way went the Spirit of the LORD from me to speak to thee?
24 Micaiah chun adonbut in “Tomlam a nalhailut’a naga kisel teng hetannate!” atipehin ahi.
And Micaiah said, Behold, thou shalt see on that day when thou shalt go into an inner chamber to hide thyself.
25 Hichun Israel lengpan a sepai lamkai komma chun, man inlang khopi vaihompa leh leng chapa Joash kommah ga pelut tan ati.
Then the king of Israel said, Take ye Micaiah, and carry him back to Amon the governor of the city, 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, Thus saith the king, Put this man in the prison, and feed him with bread of affliction and with water of affliction, until I return 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 thou shalt certainly return in peace, then hath not the LORD spoken by me. And he said, Hearken, all ye people.
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 Ramothgilead.
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 disguise myself, and will go to the battle; but put thou on thy robes. So the king of Israel disguised himself; and they went to the battle.
30 Syria lengpa chun sakol kangchunga tou gallam kai hochu Israel lengpa bou atup diuvin thu apen ahi.
Now the king of Syria had commanded the captains of the chariots that were with him, saying, Fight ye not with small or great, except only with 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.
And it came to pass, when the captains of the chariots saw Jehoshaphat, that they said, It is the king of Israel. Therefore they surrounded him to fight: but Jehoshaphat cried out, and the LORD helped him; and God moved them to depart from him.
32 Sakol kangchunga tou lamkai hochun ama chu Israel lengpa ahilou ahedoh tauvin adalha tauve.
For it came to pass, that, when the captains of the chariots perceived that it was not the king of Israel, they turned back again from pursuing 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 drew a bow at a venture, and smote the king of Israel between the joints of the armour: therefore he said to his chariot man, Turn thy hand, that thou mayest carry me out of the host; for I am 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.
And the battle increased that day: yet the king of Israel held himself in his chariot against the Syrians until the evening: and about the time of the sun setting he died.
