2 Setouknae 18
1 Jehoshaphat teh ka tangreng poung e lah ao teh, barinae a tawn. Ahab hoi a kâkuet roi.
Therefore, Jehoshaphat was wealthy and very famous, and he was joined by affinity to Ahab.
2 Kum moikasaw aloum hnukkhu Samaria e Ahab koe a cei. Ahab ni Jehoshaphat hoi a taminaw hanlah maitotan hoi tunaw moikapap a thei pouh. Hahoi Gilead ram Ramoth kho tuk hanelah a coun.
And after some years, he descended to him in Samaria. And upon his arrival, Ahab slaughtered very many sheep and oxen, for him and for the people who had arrived with him. And he persuaded him that he should ascend against Ramoth Gilead.
3 Isarel siangpahrang Ahab ni Judah siangpahrang Jehoshaphat koe, kai koe Gilead ram Ramoth kho na tho han maw, telah a pacei. Ahni ni, kai hoi nang, ka taminaw hoi na taminaw teh cungtalah doeh. Hatdawkvah taran rei tuk awh sei atipouh.
And Ahab, the king of Israel, said to Jehoshaphat, the king of Judah, “Come with me to Ramoth Gilead.” And he answered him: “As I am, so also are you. As your people are, so also are my people. And we will be with you in war.”
4 Jehoshaphat ni Isarel siangpahrang koevah, BAWIPA e lawk na ring mahoeh maw, telah a pacei.
And Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel, “Consult, I beg you, the word of the Lord for the present circumstances.”
5 Hatnavah Isarel siangpahrang ni, profet 400 touh a kaw teh, ahnimouh koevah, Gilead ram Ramoth kho tuk hanelah ka cei han maw, ka cet mahoeh maw, telah atipouh. Ahnimouh ni cet yawkaw Cathut ni siangpahrang kut dawk na poe han, telah atipouh awh.
And so the king of Israel gathered together four hundred men of the prophets, and he said to them: “Should we go to war against Ramoth Gilead, or should we be quieted?” But they said, “Ascend, and God will deliver into the hand of the king.”
6 Hatei, Jehoshaphat ni BAWIPA e profet buet touh boehai awm hoeh maw atipouh.
And Jehoshaphat said, “Is there not a prophet of the Lord here, so that we may inquire of him as well?”
7 Isarel siangpahrang ni Jehoshaphat koe, BAWIPA koe ka pacei pouh hane buet touh ngoun teh ao. Hatei, ahni teh ka hmuhma e doeh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, ahawinae dei boihoeh. Ahni teh Imlah capa Mikah doeh atipouh. Jehoshaphat ni, siangpahrang ni hottelah dei hanh naseh atipouh.
And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat: “There is one man, from whom we would be able to ask the will of the Lord. But I hate him, for he never prophesies good to me, but at all times evil. And it is Micaiah, the son of Imlah.” And Jehoshaphat said, “You should not speak in this manner, O king.”
8 Hat torei teh, Isarel siangpahrang ni kahrawikung buet touh a kaw teh, karanglah Imlah capa Mikah hrawi haw, atipouh.
Therefore, the king of Israel called one of the eunuchs, and said to him: “Quickly, summon Micaiah, the son of Imlah.”
9 Isarel siangpahrang hoi Judah siangpahrang teh Samaria longkha hmalah, siangpahrang e khohna a khohna roi teh, bawitungkhung dawk rei a tahung roi. Hahoi profetnaw pueng ni profet lawk a dei pouh awh.
Now the king of Israel, and Jehoshaphat, the king of Judah, were both sitting upon their thrones, clothed in royal vestments. And they were sitting in an open area, beside the gate of Samaria. And all the prophets were prophesying before them.
10 Kenan capa Zedekiah ni sumki a sak teh, BAWIPA ni hettelah a dei, hete kinaw ni Sirianaw koung raphoe ditouh na deng han, telah atipouh.
Truly, Zedekiah, the son of Chenaanah, made for himself horns of iron, and he said: “Thus says the Lord: With these, you shall threaten Syria, until you crush it.”
11 Hottelah profet alouknaw nihai, Gilead ram Ramoth kho dawk takhang nateh tuk leih, BAWIPA ni siangpahrang kut dawk a hnawng han doeh, telah ati awh.
And all the prophets prophesied similarly, and they said: “Ascend against Ramoth Gilead, and you shall prosper, and the Lord will deliver them into the hand of the king.”
12 Mikah kaw hanelah patoune ni, khenhaw! profetnaw ni lawk rip kânging lah siangpahrang koe lawk kahawi a dei awh. Hatdawkvah nang ni hai lawk kahawi dei pouh, telah atipouh.
Then the messenger who had gone to summon Micaiah said to him: “Lo, the words of all the prophets, with one mouth, announce good to the king. Therefore, I ask you that you not dissent from them in your word, and that you speak prosperity.”
13 Mikah ni, BAWIPA a hring e patetlah ka Cathut ni a dei e patetlah ka dei han atipouh.
And Micaiah responded to him, “As the Lord lives, whatever my God will say to me, the same shall I speak.”
14 Siangpahrang koe a pha toteh, siangpahrang ni ahni koe, Mikah Gilead ram Ramoth kho tuk hanelah ka cei han maw, ka cet mahoeh maw, telah a pacei. Ahni ni tuk awh na ta awh yawkaw han doeh, na kut dawk a hnawng han doeh, telah atipouh.
Therefore, he went to the king. And the king said to him, “Micaiah, should we go to war against Ramoth Gilead, or should we be quieted?” And he responded to him: “Ascend. For everything will come to prosperity, and the enemies will be delivered into your hands.”
15 Siangpahrang ni ahni koe, lawkkatang hoeh laipalah teh kai koe BAWIPA min lahoi dei hoeh hanelah vai nâyittouh maw lawk na kam sak han, telah atipouh.
And the king said, “Again and again, I bind you by an oath, so that you will not speak to me except what is true in the name of the Lord!”
16 Ahni ni, khoumkung ka tawn hoeh e tu patetlah Isarelnaw pueng teh mon dawk pareng kâkapek e ka hmu. Hahoi BAWIPA ni hetnaw teh kahrawikung tawn awh hoeh dawkvah, ma im lengkaleng ban awh lawiseh, ati telah atipouh.
Then he said: “I saw all of Israel scattered amid the mountains, like sheep without a shepherd. And the Lord said: ‘These have no masters. Let each one return in peace to his own house.’”
17 Isarel siangpahrang ni Jehoshaphat koevah, kaie kong a thoenae hoeh laipalah teh ahawinae dei boi mahoeh telah ka ti toung nahoehmaw, telah atipouh.
And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat: “Did I not tell you that this one would not prophesy to me anything good, but only what is evil?”
18 Mikah ni, hatdawkvah BAWIPA e lawk thai awh haw, Bawipa teh a bawitungkhung dawk a tahung teh, kalvantaminaw pueng avoilah aranglah a tahung e ka hmu.
Then he said: “Therefore, listen to the word of the Lord. I saw the Lord sitting upon his throne, and the entire army of heaven was standing beside him, on the right and on the left.
19 BAWIPA ni Isarel siangpahrang Ahab teh Gilead ram Ramoth khovah a cei vaiteh, due hanelah apinimaw a tacuek han telah ati. Hahoi buet touh ni hettelah doeh, alouke ni hottelah doeh atipouh.
And the Lord said: ‘Who will deceive Ahab, the king of Israel, so that he may ascend and fall at Ramoth Gilead?’ And when one spoke in one way, and another in another way,
20 Hahoi muitha buet touh a tho teh, BAWIPA hmalah a kangdue teh, kai ni ka dum han telah ati navah, BAWIPA ni ahni koevah, nâ lah maw atipouh.
there came forward a spirit, and he stood before the Lord and said, ‘I will deceive him.’ And the Lord said to him, ‘In what way will you deceive him?’
21 Ahni ni ka cei vaiteh a profetnaw pueng e pahni dawk laithoe ka dei e muitha lah ka coung han, atipouh. Ahni ni dum haw, na dum thai han doeh. Hatdawkvah, cet nateh hottelah sak loe atipouh.
And he responded, ‘I will go forth, and I will be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets.’ And the Lord said: ‘You will deceive and prevail. Go forth and do so.’
22 Hatdawkvah, khenhaw! BAWIPA ni hete profetnaw e a pahni dawkvah laithoe muitha a hruek toe. Hahoi BAWIPA ni nang na rawk nahane yo a dei toe telah atipouh.
Therefore now, behold: the Lord gave a lying spirit to the mouth of all your prophets, and the Lord has spoken evil about you.”
23 Kenan capa Zedekiah ni rek a hnai teh Mikah e hmaibei dawk a tambei teh, nang koe lawk dei hanelah BAWIPA e Muitha teh nâ lahoi maw kai koehoi a tâco, telah atipouh.
Then Zedekiah, the son of Chenaanah, approached, and he struck Micaiah on the jaw, and he said: “In what way did the Spirit of the Lord depart from me, so that he would speak to you?”
24 Mikah ni, khenhaw! kâhro hanelah imthungkhu na kâen hnin vah na panue han atipouh.
And Micaiah said: “You yourself shall see it, in that day, when you will enter a room within a room, so that you may be hidden.”
25 Isarel siangpahrang ni, Mikah heh khobawi Ammon hoi siangpahrang capa Joash koevah cetkhai awh.
Then the king of Israel instructed, saying: “Take Micaiah, and lead him to Amon, the leader of the city, and to Joash, the son of Amalech.
26 Hahoi siangpahrang ni hettelah a dei, hete tami heh thongim pabawt awh. Roumnae hoi ka ban hoehroukrak reknae bu hoi tui poe awh, telah atipouh.
And you shall say: ‘Thus says the king: Send this man to prison, and give to him a little bread and a little water, until I return in peace.’”
27 Mikah ni roumnae hoi bout na ban pawiteh, BAWIPA ni kai dawk hoi lawk a dei hoeh e han doeh, atipouh. Hahoi ahni ni nangmouh pueng ni hai thai awh, atipouh.
And Micaiah said, “If you will have returned in peace, the Lord has not spoken by me.” And he said, “May all the people listen.”
28 Hatdawkvah, Isarel siangpahrang hoi Judah siangpahrang Jehoshaphat teh Gilead ram. Ramoth khovah a takhang roi.
And so, the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat, the king of Judah, ascended against Ramoth Gilead.
29 Isarel siangpahrang ni Jehoshaphat koevah, nang teh tarankâtuknae koe vah, siangpahrang puengcang kâmahrawk loe, kai tet tami rumram e patetlah ka khohna han atipouh. Hottelah Isarel siangpahrang teh tami rumram patetlah hoi tarankâtuknae koe a cei.
And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat: “I will change my clothing, and in this way I will go into battle. But you should be clothed in your own garments.” And the king of Israel, having changed his clothing, went to war.
30 Siria siangpahrang ni rangleng kauknaw koe, Isarel siangpahrang hoeh laipalah teh, tamikathoung kalen apihai tuk awh hanh telah kâ a poe.
Now the king of Syria had instructed the commanders of his horsemen, saying, “You shall not fight against the least or the greatest, but only against the king of Israel.”
31 Hahoi rangleng kaukkungnaw ni Jehoshaphat a hmu navah, Isarel siangpahrang nahoehmaw ati awh. Ahni tuk hanelah a kalup awh navah Jehoshaphat teh thouk a hram. BAWIPA ni a kabawp teh Cathut ni koung a ban sak.
And so, when the leaders of the horsemen had seen Jehoshaphat, they said, “This one is the king of Israel.” And while fighting, they surrounded him. But he cried out to the Lord, and he assisted him, and he turned them away from him.
32 Rangleng kaukkungnaw ni Isarel siangpahrang nahoeh tie a panue toteh, pâlei laipalah a ban takhai awh.
For when the commanders of the horsemen had seen that he was not the king of Israel, they left him.
33 Hahoi, tami buet touh ni noe laipalah pala hoi a ka teh, Isarel siangpahrang e saiphei rahak a ka dawkvah, rangleng ka mawng koevah, kai na tâcawtkhai leih, hmâ ka ca e a patawpoung telah ati.
Then it happened that one of the people shot an arrow indiscriminately, and it struck the king of Israel between the neck and the shoulder. And so he said to his chariot driver: “Turn your hand, and lead me away from the battle line. For I have been wounded.”
34 Hat hnin vah, puenghoi a kâtuk awh. Hahoi Isarel siangpahrang teh tangmin lah totouh rangleng dawk a tahung laihoi, Sirianaw koelah kangvawi lahoi tami dawk a kamngawi teh kanî khup tawmlei vah a due.
And the fight ended on that day. But the king of Israel was standing in his chariot facing the Syrians, even until evening. And he died when the sun set.
