2 Siangpahrang 7
1 Elisha ni, BAWIPA lawk thai awh haw. BAWIPA ni telah a dei. Tangtho atu e tuektue vah, rapan longkha teng vah, tavai sum touh hah, sekel buet touh lah yo han, catun sum hni touh hah sekel buet lah yo awh han ati.
Elisha replied to the king, “Listen to what Yahweh says: ‘He says that by this time tomorrow, at the marketplace here in Samaria, you will be able to buy (ten pounds/five kg.) of fine wheat or (20 pounds/ten kg.) of barley for [only] one piece of silver.’”
2 Siangpahrang kut ka kângue e ransabawi ni Cathut e tami hah a pathung. Khenhaw! BAWIPA ni kalvan vah hlalangawnaw paawng pawiteh hottelah a coung thai yawkaw han doeh atipouh. Elisha ni oe hatei, na mit ni a hmu vaiteh na cat mahoeh telah atipouh.
The king’s officer said to Elijah, “That cannot happen! Even if Yahweh himself would open the windows of the sky [and send grain down to us], that certainly could not [RHQ] happen!” Elisha replied, “[Because you said that, ] you [SYN] will see it happen, but you will not be able to eat any of the food!”
3 Hahoi kâennae longkha koe, hrikbeinaw pali touh ao awh. Bangkongmaw maimouh ni due han totouh awi hivah khuet tahung awh han vaw
That day there were four men who had (leprosy/a dreaded skin disease) who were sitting outside the gate of Samaria [city. They said to each other, “(Why should we] wait here until we die?/[It is ridiculous for us to] wait here until we die.) [RHQ]
4 Kho thung kâen nakunghai takang kecu dawk due awh han. Awi hi pou ka tahung awh nakunghai due mingming awh han. Hatdawkvah Siria ransanaw koe kâhmoun ngala awh sei. Na hlung awh pawiteh hring awh han, na thet awh pawiteh due awh han, telah buet touh hoi buet touh a kâdei awh.
If we go into the city, we will die there, because there is no food there. If we remain sitting here, we will die here. So let’s go to where the army of Syria has set up their tents. If they kill us, we will die. But if they allow us to remain alive, we will not die.”
5 Hahoi teh Sirianaw roenae hmuen koe cei hanlah, khodai hoehnahlan a kamthaw awh. Sirianaw roenae koe a pha toteh, khenhaw! apihai awm hoeh.
So when it was getting dark, those four men went to the camp where the army of Syria had set up their tents. But when they reached the camp, they saw that there was no one there!
6 Bangkongtetpawiteh, BAWIPA ni Siria ransanaw e rangleng lawk hoi marang yawng pawlawk, ransa moikapap e pawlawk lah a thai sak. Khenhaw! Isarel siangpahrang ni Hitnaw e siangpahrang hoi Izip siangpahrang hah maimouh tuk hanelah a kawi mue toe ati awh.
What had happened was that Yahweh had caused the army of Syria to hear something that sounded like a large army marching with chariots and horses. So they said to each other, “Listen! The king of Israel has hired the kings of Egypt and the Heth people-group [and their armies], and they have come to attack us!”
7 Hatdawkvah, kho vumpava a dai navah koung a yawng awh. Ahnimae rimnaw hoi rangleng hoi lanaw hoi roenae rimnaw pueng teh ama hottelah koung a yawng takhai awh.
So they all ran away that evening and left their tents and their horses and donkeys there, because [they were afraid that] they would be killed [if they stayed there].
8 Hahoi hrikbeinaw ni, a roenae rim koe a pha toteh buet touh e rim dawk a kâen awh. Haw e kaawmnaw hai a la awh teh bout a hro awh.
When those four lepers came to the edge of the area where the soldiers of Syria had set up their tents, they went into one tent, [and saw all the things that had been left there]. So they ate and drank what was there, and they took the silver and the gold and clothes. Then they went [outside the tent] and hid those things. Then they entered another tent, and took things from there, and then went outside and hid them, also.
9 Hathnukkhu hoi maimouh teh, hnokahawi sak awh hoeh toe. Sahnin teh kamthang a phanae hnin toe, hatdawkvah maimouh ni lungmawng lah awm hanh, khodai e ring awh pawiteh, reknae buet buet touh kâhmo awh mingming han doeh. Hatdawkvah tho awh leih. Siangpahrang imthungkhu koe dei awh leih sei ti teh buet touh hoi buet touh a kâdei awh.
But then they said to each other, “We are not doing what is right. We have good news [to tell others] today. If we do not tell it to anyone now, and if we wait until morning to tell it, we will certainly be punished [by Yahweh]. So let’s go right now to the palace and tell it to the king’s officials!”
10 Hahoi, a cei awh teh, kho longkha ka ring e hah a kaw awh teh, ahni koe Sirianaw a roenae koe ka cei awh teh, khenhaw! apihai la awm hoeh. Tami pawrin lawk hai banghai tho hoeh. Marang hoi lengnaw teh koung a kâpen, rimnaw hai ama telah roup a ta awh telah a dei pouh awh.
So they went to the guards at the city gates and called out to them, “We went to where the army of Syria had set up their tents, but we did not see or hear anyone there. Their horses and donkeys were still tied up, but their tents were all deserted/abandoned!”
11 Hat torei teh, longkha karingkung ni siangpahrang imthungkhu koe patuen a dei pouh.
The guards shouted the news, and some people [who heard it] went to the palace and reported it there.
12 Siangpahrang teh karum vah a thaw teh a sannaw koevah Sirianaw ni na sak awh e heh na dei pouh vai, maimouh vonhlam e hah a panue awh teh, khopui thung hoi a tâco toteh, a hring lahoi man kong ati awh teh, hahoi khothung kâen sin sei ati awh e muema toe. Kahrawng a kâhro awh e han doeh, hatdawkvah roenae rim a ceitakhai e han doeh telah ati.
[When] the king [heard it, he] got up out of his bed and said to his officials, “I will tell you what the army of Syria is planning to do. They know that we have no food here, so they have left their tents and are hiding in the fields. They think that we will leave the city [to find some food], and then they will capture us and capture the city.”
13 A san bout touh niyah, a pathung teh, pahren lahoi yah khopui dawk kacawirae marang panga touh hoi tami nâyittouh ni ne cetkhai naseh. Khenhaw! Isarelnaw ka la awm e naw patetlah doeh ao awh. Atangcalah dei pawiteh ka rawk tangcoungnaw thung dawk hoi Isarel e a hu lah pouk e lah ao thai nahanlah tha awh sei atipouh.
But one of his officials said, “Many of our Israeli people have already died [from (hunger/not having anything to eat]). If those of us who are still alive all stay here, we also will die anyway. So let’s send some men with five of our horses that are still alive to go and see [what has really happened].”
14 Hahoi leng ka sawn e marang kahni touh a ceikhai awh teh siangpahrang ni, khenhaw! telah, Siria ransanaw pâlei hanelah a patoun toe.
So they chose some men and told them to go in a chariot and find out what had happened to the army of Syria.
15 Jordan palang totouh, a pâlei awh teh, khenhaw! Sirianaw karang poung lah a yawng awh dawkvah, a tâkhawng awh e angki, hna, hnopai naw lam vah nawinawi a kâkayei telah patounenaw ni a ban awh teh siangpahrang koe a dei awh.
They went as far as the Jordan [River]. All along the road they saw clothes and equipment that the soldiers from Syria had thrown away while they were running away very quickly. So the men returned to the king and reported [what they had seen].
16 Hahoi teh taminaw ni, a tâco awh teh Sirianaw e rimnaw a lawp awh. Hahoi teh, BAWIPA lawk patetlah tavai sum touh dawk sekel buet touh lah, catun sum hni touh dawk sekel buet touh lah a yo awh.
Then many of the people of Samaria also went [out of the city and went] to where the army of Syria had previously set up their tents. They entered all the tents and took everything. [So there was now plenty of everything!] As a result people could buy ten pounds of fine wheat or 20 pounds of barley for only one piece of silver, which was what Yahweh had said would happen!
17 Hahoi siangpahrang ni, amae kut ka kângue e ransabawi hah kalupnae longkha karingkung lah a sak. Hahoi tami tangkuem ni kalupnae longkha koe ahni hah kawt a katin awh teh, Cathut tami ni siangpahrang koe a tho nah a dei e patetlah a due.
The king of Israel had appointed the officer who was his assistant to supervise what was happening at the marketplace. But as he was standing near the gate, all the people [who were rushing outside the city] trampled on him, and he died, which was what Elisha had said would happen to him when Elisha previously went to talk to the king.
18 Hahoi teh, Cathut e tami ni siangpahrang koevah, tangtho het tuektue nah, Samaria kalupnae longkha koevah, tavai sum touh dawk sekel buet lah a yo awh vaiteh catun sum hni touh dawk sekel buet lah a yo awh han ati teh,
Elisha had told him that by the next day there would be plenty of food, with the result that anyone could buy ten pounds of fine wheat or 20 pounds of barley for only one piece of silver.
19 ransabawi ni Cathut tami hah a pathung teh, BAWIPA ni kalvan longkha paawng pawiteh hottelah a coung yawkaw han doeh ati navah, ahni ni na mit hoi na hmu han, hatei na cat mahoeh telah a dei pouh e hah, a tak dawk a pha pouh.
And the officer had answered, “That certainly cannot [RHQ] happen! Even if Yahweh himself would open the sky and send down some grain, that could not happen.” And Elisha had replied, “[Because you said that, ] you [SYN] will see it happen, but you will not be able to eat any of the food!”
20 Bangkongtetpawiteh, khopui longkha koe tamimaya ni longkha koe a katinkaawi awh teh kawt a due.
And that is what happened to him. The people [who were rushing out of] the city gate trampled on him, and he died.
