< 1 Kings 20 >
1 And Ben-hadad the king of Syria gathered all his army together. And there were thirty-two kings with him, and horses and chariots. And he went up and besieged Samaria, and fought against it.
Siria siangpahrang Benhadad ni, a ransanaw pueng a pâkhueng teh, siangpahrang 32 touh ahni koe ao. Marang hoi leng hoi a takhang awh teh, Samaria kho hah a kalup awh teh a tuk awh.
2 And he sent messengers to Ahab king of Israel, into the city, and said to him, Thus says Ben-hadad,
Isarel siangpahrang koe khopui thung patounenaw a patoun teh ahni koe Benhadad ni hettelah ati.
3 Thy silver and thy gold is mine, thy wives also and thy sons, even the best, are mine.
Na tangka hoi sui hateh kaie doeh. Na yuca hoi hnokahawi pueng kaie doeh telah ati.
4 And the king of Israel answered and said, It is according to thy saying, my lord, O king, I am thine, and all that I have.
Isarel siangpahrang ni, oe siangpahrang ka bawipa na dei e patetlah doeh. Kai hoi ka tawn e pueng teh nange doeh telah ati.
5 And the messengers came again, and said, Thus speaks Ben-hadad, saying, I indeed sent to thee, saying, Thou shall deliver to me thy silver, and thy gold, and thy wives, and thy sons.
A patounenaw ni bout a cei awh teh, Benhadad ni hettelah ati, na tangka hoi sui hoi na yu hoi na canaw hah na poe han telah taminaw bout a patoun.
6 But I will send my servants to thee tomorrow about this time, and they shall search thy house, and the houses of thy servants. And it shall be, that whatever is pleasant in thine eyes, they shall put it in their hand, and take it away.
Hatei, tangtho tuektue nah ka taminaw nang koe ka patoun han, na im hoi na tami hoi, nim hah a tawng awh han. Na mit ni a noe e pueng hah a la awh vaiteh, koung a thokhai awh han telah ati.
7 Then the king of Israel called all the elders of the land, and said, Mark, I pray you, and see how this man seeks mischief, for he sent to me for my wives, and for my sons, and for my silver, and for my gold, and I did not deny him.
Isarel siangpahrang ni a ram dawk e kacuenaw pueng koung a kaw teh, pahren lahoi pâkuem awh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, hete tami ni runae tâcosak hanlah a kâcai. Bangkongtetpawiteh, kai koe tami a patoun teh, ka yu hoi ka ca hoi, ka tangka hoi ka suinaw hah a hei, kangek e hai nahoeh telah ati.
8 And all the elders and all the people said to him, Do thou not hearken, nor consent.
Kacuenaw hoi tamimaya ni ahni koe ahnimae lawk hai banglahai noutna hanh, na lung hai kuepkhai hanh telah atipouh awh.
9 Therefore he said to the messengers of Ben-hadad, Tell my lord the king, All that thou sent for to thy servant at the first I will do, but this thing I may not do. And the messengers departed, and brought him word again.
Hottelah Benhadad ni patounenaw koe siangpahrang ka bawipa koevah, na san koe patounenaw na patoun teh, ahmaloe na hei e pueng heh ka tarawi yawkaw han, hatei hete teh ka tarawi thai mahoeh ati, telah na dei pouh awh han telah ati. Patoun e naw teh a cei awh teh hote lawk hah a dei pouh awh.
10 And Ben-hadad sent to him, and said, The gods do so to me, and more also, if the dust of Samaria shall suffice for handfuls for all the people that follow me.
Benhadad ni ahni koe tami bout a patoun teh, ka hnukkâbangnaw pueng ni, Samaria khovah, vaiphu kutvang touh rip hmawt thai awh pawiteh, cathutnaw ni a ngai e patetlah na sak na lawiseh, hothlak ka pataw lahoi na sak naseh telah ati.
11 And the king of Israel answered and said, Tell him, Let not him who girds on his armor boast himself as he who puts it off.
Isarel siangpahrang ni, ayâ ni ransa puengcang a kâmahrawk navah, a ransa puengcang ka rading e patetlah kâoup boihoeh telah dei pouh awh telah ati.
12 And it came to pass, when Ben-hadad heard this message as he was drinking, he and the kings, in the pavilions, that he said to his servants, Set yourselves in array. And they set themselves in array against the city.
Hahoi, ama hoi siangpahrangnaw ni, kâhatnae rim dawk yamu a nei awh lahunnah, hote lawk hah Benhadad ni a thai teh, a taminaw koe kârakueng awh haw, atipouh. Hottelahoi, kho tuk hanelah a kâcai awh.
13 And, behold, a prophet came near to Ahab king of Israel, and said, Thus says Jehovah, Have thou seen all this great multitude? Behold, I will deliver it into thy hand this day, and thou shall know that I am Jehovah.
Hahoi khenhaw! profet buet touh ni Isarel siangpahrang Ahab koe a cei sin teh, BAWIPA ni hettelah a dei. Hete kapap poung e tamihu hah na hmu maw. Khenhaw! sahnin na kut dawk na poe han, hahoi kai teh BAWIPA doeh tie na panue han telah ati.
14 And Ahab said, By whom? And he said, Thus says Jehovah, By the young men of the rulers of the provinces. Then he said, Who shall begin the battle? And he answered, Thou.
Ahab ni api hno lahoi maw telah ati, ahni ni BAWIPA ni telah a dei, khobawi a sannaw hah ka hno han telah ati. Ahni ni apinimaw tarantuknae kho a khang han telah ati. Ahni ni nang ni atipouh.
15 Then he mustered the young men of the rulers of the provinces, and they were two hundred and thirty-two. And after them he mustered all the people, even all the sons of Israel, being seven thousand.
Hottelah ahni ni ram ukkungnaw hoi a sannaw a pâkhueng teh 232 touh a pha.
16 And they went out at noon. But Ben-hadad was drinking himself drunk in the pavilions, he and the kings, the thirty-two kings who helped him.
Kanî tuengtalueng a thun nah a tâco awh teh, hatnavah, Benhadad hoi siangpahrang a ma kabawm hane siangpahrang 32 touh teh, kâhatnae rim dawk yamu a la parui awh.
17 And the young men of the rulers of the provinces went out first. And Ben-hadad sent out, and they told him, saying, There are men come out from Samaria.
Hateh, ram ukkung bawi thoundoun hmaloe a tâco. Benhadad ni kâhmo hane a patoun teh, ahni koe Samaria kho hoi tami ka tâcawt e ao telah a dei pouh.
18 And he said, Whether they come out for peace, take them alive, or whether they come out for war, take them alive.
Ahni ni roum nahanelah ka tâco e lah awm pawiteh, a hring lahoi man awh. Tarantuk hanelah hoi ka tâcawt hanelah ao haiyah a hring lahoi man awh, telah ati.
19 So these went out of the city, the young men of the rulers of the provinces, and the army which followed them.
Hottelah ram ukkung thoundoun hah a hnukkâbang e ransa hoi khopui thung hoi a tâco awh.
20 And they killed everyone his man. And the Syrians fled, and Israel pursued them. And Ben-hadad the king of Syria escaped on a horse with horsemen.
Hahoi tami pueng ni amae tami lengkaleng a thei awh. Hottelah Sirianaw a yawng awh teh, Isarelnaw ni a pâlei awh. Siria siangpahrang Benhadad teh, marang a kâcui teh marang kâcuinaw hoi a hlout awh.
21 And the king of Israel went out, and smote the horses and chariots, and killed the Syrians with a great slaughter.
Isarel siangpahrang a tâco teh, marang hoi leng hoi a tuk awh teh, Sirianaw moi a thei awh.
22 And the prophet came near to the king of Israel, and said to him, Go, strengthen thyself. And mark, and see what thou do, for at the return of the year the king of Syria will come up against thee.
Hahoi, profet ni Isarel siangpahrang koe a hrawi teh, ahni koe tha kâlat nateh, na sak hane kahawicalah pouk. Bangkongtetpawiteh, kompawi toteh Siria siangpahrang ni bout na tuk awh han, telah atipouh.
23 And the servants of the king of Syria said to him, Their god is a god of the hills, therefore they were stronger than we. But let us fight against them in the plain, and surely we shall be stronger than they.
Siria siangpahrang e sannaw ni ahni koe, ahnimae cathutnaw teh mon cathutnaw lah ao. Hatdawkvah maimouh hlak a tha ao hnawn awh telah ati awh.
24 And do this thing: Take the kings away, every man out of his place, and put captains in their place.
Hahoi, hettelah na ti han, siangpahrangnaw hah koung tha nateh, amamae hmuen koe ram ukkung lah hrueng.
25 And number thee an army, like the army that thou have lost, horse for horse, and chariot for chariot. And we will fight against them in the plain, and surely we shall be stronger than they. And he hearkened to their voice, and did so.
Hahoi ransa hoi leng na raphoe e yit touh ransa bout sak. Hottelah tanghling dawk na tuk awh vaiteh, ahnimouh hlak thao awh mingming han doeh telah ati awh. A lawk hah a caksak awh teh, hottelah a sak awh.
26 And it came to pass at the return of the year, that Ben-hadad mustered the Syrians, and went up to Aphek to fight against Israel.
Hahoi, kompawi toteh, hettelah ao. Benhadad ni Sirianaw hah a pâkhueng teh. Isarel tuk hanelah Aphek vah a takhang awh.
27 And the sons of Israel were mustered, and were supported, and went against them. And the sons of Israel encamped before them like two little flocks of kids, but the Syrians filled the country.
Isarel catounnaw teh a kamkhueng awh teh, rawca a rakueng pouh awh teh, tarantuk hanelah a tâco awh. Isarelnaw hmaehu yitca e hu hni touh e patetlah a kangdue sin awh. Sirianaw teh a ram dawk king a kawi awh.
28 And a man of God came near and spoke to the king of Israel, and said, Thus says Jehovah, Because the Syrians have said, Jehovah is a god of the hills, but he is not a god of the valleys, therefore I will deliver all this great multitude into thy hand, and ye shall know that I am Jehovah.
Hahoi Cathut e tami ni Isarel siangpahrang koe a hnai teh, ahni koe, BAWIPA ni hettelah a dei, Sirianaw ni Jehovah teh mon cathut lah ao teh, tanghling cathut lah awm hoeh ati awh. Hatdawkvah, hete tami moikapap e naw heh na kut dawk na poe han, hottelah hoi kai heh BAWIPA lah ka o tie hah na panue awh han telah ati.
29 And they encamped one opposite the other seven days. And so it was, that in the seventh day the battle was joined. And the sons of Israel killed of the Syrians a hundred thousand footmen in one day.
Hnin sari touh thung avoivang lah a tungpup awh. Ahni sari hnin vah a kâtuk awh. Isarelnaw ni Sirianaw hah hnin touh dawk ransa 100, 000 a thei awh.
30 But the rest fled to Aphek, into the city, and the wall fell upon twenty-seven thousand men who were left. And Ben-hadad fled, and came into the city, into an inner chamber.
Alouknaw teh Aphek kho thung vah a yawng awh. Kacawie tami 27, 000 touh teh rapan katim e ni koung a ten. Benhadad teh a yawng teh, khopui dawk imrakhan thung a kâen.
31 And his servants said to him, Behold now, we have heard that the kings of the house of Israel are merciful kings. Let us, we pray thee, put sackcloth on our loins, and ropes upon our heads, and go out to the king of Israel. Perhaps he will save thy life.
A taminaw ni ahni koe khenhaw! Isarelnaw e imthungnaw thung dawk, Siangpahrang heh pahrennae ka tawn e siangpahrangnaw doeh telah ka panue awh. Burihni kâkhu hoi kaimae lû dawk rui hoi pâkhit nateh, Isarel siangpahrang koe na cetkhai yawkaw. Ama ni na pâhlung yawkaw han doeh telah ati awh.
32 So they girded sackcloth on their loins, and put ropes on their heads, and came to the king of Israel, and said, Thy servant Ben-hadad says, I pray thee, let me live. And he said, Is he yet alive? He is my brother.
Hottelah buri hni a kâkhu awh teh, a lû dawk rui hoi a pâkhi awh teh, Isarel siangpahrang koe a cei awh. Na san Benhadad ni pahren lahoi na pâhlung na seh ati telah ati awh. Ahni ni a hring rah maw, ahni teh ka hmaunawngha nahoehmaw, telah ati.
33 Now the men observed diligently whether anything would come from him. And they quickly caught it, and they said, Thy brother Ben-hadad. Then he said, Go ye, bring him. Then Ben-hadad came forth to him, and he caused him to come up into the chariot.
Hotnaw ni pouknae kahawi hoi a lungthung hoi a dei katang e han doeh ati awh teh, na hmaunawngha Benhadad doeh atipouh awh. Ahni ni cet awh nateh, ahni hah thokhai awh atipouh. Hottelah Benhadad teh a tâco teh, ahni koe a cei teh ahni ni leng dawk a kâcui sak.
34 And Ben-hadad said to him, The cities which my father took from thy father I will restore, and thou shall make streets for thee in Damascus as my father made in Samaria. And I, said Ahab, will let thee go with this covenant. So he made a covenant with him, and let him go.
Benhadad ni ahni koe, apa ni na pa koe kho a la e hah bout na poe han. Hahoi, apa ni Samaria kho hno yonae hmuen a sak e patetlah Damaskas kho vah hno yonae hmuen na sak van han telah ati. Hottelah ahni koe lawkkamnae a sak sak teh a cei sak.
35 And a certain man of the sons of the prophets said by the word of Jehovah to his fellow, Smite me, I pray thee. And the man refused to smite him.
Hahoi Profet capanaw thung hoi tami buet touh ni, BAWIPA e lawk patetlah a hui koe vah, kai na hem haw telah atipouh. Hote tami ni na hem ngai hoeh atipouh.
36 Then said he to him, Because thou have not obeyed the voice of Jehovah, behold, as soon as thou are departed from me, a lion shall kill thee. And as soon as he was departed from him, a lion found him, and killed him.
Hat toteh, ahni koevah, BAWIPA e lawk na tarawi ngaihoeh dawkvah, khenhaw! nang ni na ceitakhai tahma vah, Sendek ni na kei han atipouh e patetlah a cei teh Sendek ni a hmue teh a kei.
37 Then he found another man, and said, Smite me, I pray thee. And the man smote him, smiting and wounding him.
Hahoi alouke tami bout a hmu teh, kai na hem haw atipouh teh ahni ni a hem.
38 So the prophet departed, and waited for the king by the way, and disguised himself with his headband over his eyes.
Hahoi profet teh a cei teh, lam vah siangpahrang a pawp, a tampa dawk a yeng e hoi mit a huem teh, a phunloukcalah a kâsak.
39 And as the king passed by, he cried out to the king, and he said, Thy servant went out into the midst of the battle, and, behold, a man turned aside, and brought a man to me, and said, Keep this man. If by any means he is missing, then shall thy life be for his life, or else thou shall pay a talent of silver.
Siangpahrang a tho toteh siangpahrang a kaw teh, na sanpa heh tarankâtuknae hmuen lungui vah ka cei teh, khenhaw! tami buet touh ni kai koe tami buet touh a thokhai. Hete tami heh kahawicalah ring, yawng payon pawiteh, a hringnae yueng lah na hringnae ka hma han, hoehpawiteh, tangka talen buet touh na poe han telah ati.
40 And as thy servant was busy here and there, he was gone. And the king of Israel said to him, So shall thy judgment be, thyself have decided it.
Na sanpa heh puenghoi ka rucat dawkvah, ka yawng takhai telah ati. Isarel siangpahrang ni nang nama ni lawk na tâtueng e patetlah na lathueng vah lawkcengnae ka phat e doeh telah atipouh.
41 And he hastened, and took the headband away from his eyes, and the king of Israel discerned him that he was of the prophets.
Ahni ni minhmai huemnae hah a rading teh, Isarel siangpahrang ni profet buet touh doeh tie hah a panue.
42 And he said to him, Thus says Jehovah, Because thou have let go out of thy hand the man whom I had devoted to destruction, therefore thy life shall go for his life, and thy people for his people.
Profet ni ahni koevah, BAWIPA ni hettelah a dei, thoe ka bo e tami na hlout sak dawkvah, ahnie hringnae yueng lah nange hringnae, ahnie taminaw yueng lah nange taminaw na sung sak han telah ati.
43 And the king of Israel went to his house heavy and displeased, and came to Samaria.
Hahoi Isarel siangpahrang teh minhmai mathoe lungmathoe laihoi a ban teh Samaria kho a pha.
