1 Siangpahrang 21
1 Hathnukkhu vah, hettelah ao. Jezreel tami Naboth ni misur takha a tawn. Hot teh, Jezreel e Samaria siangpahrang Ahab e im teng vah ao.
After these things, Naboth the Jezreelite had a vineyard which was in Jezreel, next to the palace of Ahab king of Samaria.
2 Ahab ni Naboth koe na misur takha heh ka im teng ao dawkvah, saring khoum nahanlah na poe lawih. A yueng lah takha ka hawihnawn e na poe han. Nahoeh pawiteh, tangka lah na ngai pawiteh tangka lah na poe han telah atipouh.
Ahab spoke to Naboth, saying, “Give me your vineyard, that I may have it for a garden of herbs, because it is near my house; and I will give you for it a better vineyard than it. Or, if it seems good to you, I will give you its worth in money.”
3 Hateiteh, Naboth ni Ahab koevah, ka mintoenaw e râw nang poe hane teh BAWIPA ni na ngang naseh telah ati.
Naboth said to Ahab, “May Yahweh forbid me, that I should give the inheritance of my fathers to you!”
4 Jezreel tami Naboth ni ka mintoenaw e râw teh nang koe na poe mahoeh telah a dei dawkvah, Ahab teh minhmai mathoe hoi lungphuen laihoi a im dawk a kâen. A ikhun dawk a yan teh avangvanglah a kamlang teh rawca cat ngai hoeh.
Ahab came into his house sullen and angry because of the word which Naboth the Jezreelite had spoken to him, for he had said, “I will not give you the inheritance of my fathers.” He laid himself down on his bed, and turned away his face, and would eat no bread.
5 Hateiteh, a yu Jezebel ni ahni koe a cei teh, bangkongmaw na muitha lungmathoe laihoi ao teh, rawca ca hanelah na ngai hoeh telah atipouh.
But Jezebel his wife came to him, and said to him, “Why is your spirit so sad that you eat no bread?”
6 Ahni ni Jezebel koevah, Jezreel tami Naboth koevah, na misur takha hah na ran sak, nahoeh pawiteh, na ngaihnawn e awm pawiteh misur takha alouke na poe han telah ka ti pouh. Ahni ni, ka misur takha na poe mahoeh telah na pathung dawkvah, telah atipouh.
He said to her, “Because I spoke to Naboth the Jezreelite, and said to him, ‘Give me your vineyard for money; or else, if it pleases you, I will give you another vineyard for it.’ He answered, ‘I will not give you my vineyard.’”
7 A yu Jezebel ni ahni koevah, nang ni Isarel uknaeram hah kâtawnnae na tawn hoeh na maw. Thaw nateh lunghawicalah rawca cat leih. Jezreel tami Naboth e misur teh kai ni na poe han telah ati.
Jezebel his wife said to him, “Do you now govern the kingdom of Israel? Arise, and eat bread, and let your heart be merry. I will give you the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite.”
8 Hatdawkvah, Ahab e min lahoi ca a thut teh, kuthrawt hoi a dei teh, ca hah Naboth a onae kho dawk ahni hoi rei kaawm e kacuenaw hoi bawinaw koe a patawn.
So she wrote letters in Ahab’s name and sealed them with his seal, and sent the letters to the elders and to the nobles who were in his city, who lived with Naboth.
9 Rawcahainae kong oung nateh, Naboth hah tami pueng e hmalah barinae hmuen koe tahung naseh.
She wrote in the letters, saying, “Proclaim a fast, and set Naboth on high among the people.
10 Tamikayon kahni touh ahmalah tahung sak vaiteh, Cathut hoi siangpahrang na pahnawt telah yon kapenkung lah sak awh, telah atipouh.
Set two men, wicked fellows, before him, and let them testify against him, saying, ‘You cursed God and the king!’ Then carry him out, and stone him to death.”
11 A onae khocanaw, a onae kho dawk e kaawm e kacuenaw hoi bawinaw ni Jezebel ni a thut e ca patetlah a sak awh.
The men of his city, even the elders and the nobles who lived in his city, did as Jezebel had instructed them in the letters which she had written and sent to them.
12 Rawcahainae kong hah a pathang awh teh, tamipueng thung dawk hoi Naboth teh hmalah a tahung sak awh.
They proclaimed a fast, and set Naboth on high among the people.
13 Tamikayon kahni touh a hmalah a tahung teh, tamikayon roi ni tami pueng e hmalah, Naboth ni Cathut hoi siangpahrang a pahnawt telah Naboth hah yon a pen roi. Hottelah, kho thung hoi a sin awh e talung hoi kadout lah a dêi awh.
The two men, the wicked fellows, came in and sat before him. The wicked fellows testified against him, even against Naboth, in the presence of the people, saying, “Naboth cursed God and the king!” Then they carried him out of the city and stoned him to death with stones.
14 Hatdawkvah, Naboth teh talung hoi kadout lah a dêi awh teh a due toe telah Jezebel koe kamthang a thaisak awh.
Then they sent to Jezebel, saying, “Naboth has been stoned and is dead.”
15 Jezebel ni Naboth teh talung hoi kadout lah a dêi awh toe tie a panue toteh, Ahab koevah, hettelah atipouh. Thaw nateh, Jezreel tami Naboth e misur takha, tangka lah yo hane a pasoung hoeh e hah lat leih. Bangkongtetpawiteh, Naboth teh hring hoeh toe, a due toe telah atipouh.
When Jezebel heard that Naboth had been stoned and was dead, Jezebel said to Ahab, “Arise, take possession of the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite, which he refused to give you for money; for Naboth is not alive, but dead.”
16 Ahab ni Naboth a due toe tie a thai navah, Jezreel tami Naboth e misur takha dawk cei vaiteh, la hanelah Ahab teh a kamthaw.
When Ahab heard that Naboth was dead, Ahab rose up to go down to the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite, to take possession of it.
17 Hahoi, BAWIPA e lawk hah Tishbit tami Elijah koevah a pha.
Yahweh’s word came to Elijah the Tishbite, saying,
18 Thaw nateh, Samaria kho kaawm e Isarel siangpahrang Ahab kâhmo hanelah cet. Ahni teh Naboth e misur takha la hanelah a cei teh haw vah ao.
“Arise, go down to meet Ahab king of Israel, who dwells in Samaria. Behold, he is in the vineyard of Naboth, where he has gone down to take possession of it.
19 Ahni koevah, BAWIPA ni hettelah a dei. Uinaw ni Naboth e thi a palemnae hmuen dawk nange thi hai uinaw ni a palem van han telah na ti pouh han telah ati.
You shall speak to him, saying, ‘Yahweh says, “Have you killed and also taken possession?”’ You shall speak to him, saying, ‘Yahweh says, “In the place where dogs licked the blood of Naboth, dogs will lick your blood, even yours.”’”
20 Ahab ni Elijah koevah, kâhmo roi toe khe, ka taran telah atipouh. Ahni ni Oe kâhmo roi toe. Bangkongtetpawiteh, BAWIPA e hmaitung vah hawihoehnae sak hanlah namahoima na kâyo hah te telah atipouh.
Ahab said to Elijah, “Have you found me, my enemy?” He answered, “I have found you, because you have sold yourself to do that which is evil in Yahweh’s sight.
21 Khenhaw! nange lathueng vah, rawknae ka pha sak han. Koung na raphoe awh han. Ahab totouh hoi na ca catounnaw pueng, Isarel ram dawk tami ka hlout thoseh, ka hlout hoeh thoseh, koung ka pâmit han.
Behold, I will bring evil on you, and will utterly sweep you away and will cut off from Ahab everyone who urinates against a wall, and him who is shut up and him who is left at large in Israel.
22 Nang ni ka lungkhueknae na pahrue teh, Isarelnaw yonnae na sak sak dawkvah, Nebat capa Jeroboam imthungkhu hoi Ahijah capa Baasha imthungkhu patetlah na imthungkhunaw hai ka o sak han telah ati.
I will make your house like the house of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, and like the house of Baasha the son of Ahijah, for the provocation with which you have provoked me to anger, and have made Israel to sin.”
23 BAWIPA ni Jezebel e kong hai a dei toe. Jezreel kalupnae koe uinaw ni Jezebel heh a ca han.
Yahweh also spoke of Jezebel, saying, “The dogs will eat Jezebel by the rampart of Jezreel.
24 Ahab imthungkhu dawk hoi khopui dawk kadout e hah uinaw ni a ca vaiteh, kahrawng kadout e pueng teh kalvan e tava ni a ca han telah ati.
The dogs will eat he who dies of Ahab in the city; and the birds of the sky will eat he who dies in the field.”
25 A yu Jezebel ni a tacuek teh BAWIPA e mithmu vah, hawihoehnae sak hanlah, ka kâyawt e Ahab patet e tami apihai awm hoeh.
But there was no one like Ahab, who sold himself to do that which was evil in Yahweh’s sight, whom Jezebel his wife stirred up.
26 BAWIPA ni Isarelnaw koehoi a pâlei e Amor taminaw e sak e patetlah. meikaphawk hah bawk hoi panuettho e hnonaw hah ouk a sak awh.
He did very abominably in following idols, according to all that the Amorites did, whom Yahweh cast out before the children of Israel.
27 Ahab ni hote lawk a thai toteh, a hni a phi teh, burihni hah a kâkhu, rawca a hai teh rawca burihni kâkhu hoi a i teh paiyaica hoi a kâroe.
When Ahab heard those words, he tore his clothes, put sackcloth on his body, fasted, lay in sackcloth, and went about despondently.
28 Hahoi, BAWIPA e lawk teh Tishbit tami Elijah koevah a pha.
Yahweh’s word came to Elijah the Tishbite, saying,
29 Ka hmalah Ahab a kârahnoumnae hah na hmu maw. Ka hmalah a kârahnoum dawkvah, ahnie se nateh hawihoehnae ka phat sak mahoeh. A capa se nah a imthungkhu dawk hawihoehnae ka pha sak han telah ati.
“See how Ahab humbles himself before me? Because he humbles himself before me, I will not bring the evil in his days; but I will bring the evil on his house in his son’s day.”
