< 2 Kings 13 >

1 In the twenty-third year of the reign of Joash son of Ahaziah over Judah, Jehoahaz son of Jehu became king of Israel, and he reigned in Samaria seventeen years.
Judah manghai Ahaziah capa Joash kah kum kul kum thum vaengah Jehu capa Jehoahaz loh Israel te Samaria ah kum hlai rhih a manghai thil.
2 And he did evil in the sight of the LORD and followed the sins that Jeroboam son of Nebat had caused Israel to commit; he did not turn away from them.
BOEIPA mik ah boethae a saii tih Israel aka tholh sak Nebat capa Jeroboam kah tholhnah dongah pongpa. Te lamlong te nong pawh.
3 So the anger of the LORD burned against Israel, and He delivered them continually into the hands of Hazael king of Aram and his son Ben-hadad.
Te dongah BOEIPA kah thintoek te Israel taengla sai tih anih tue khuiah tah amih te Aram manghai Hazael kut hmui neh Hazael capa Benhadad kut hmuiah a tloeng.
4 Then Jehoahaz sought the favor of the LORD, and the LORD listened to him because He saw the oppression that the king of Aram had inflicted on Israel.
Tedae Aram manghai loh amih a nen vanbangla Israel sokah nennah te a hmuh dongah Jehoahaz loh BOEIPA mikhmuh ah nguek tih BOEIPA loh a ol a hnatun pah.
5 So the LORD gave Israel a deliverer, and they escaped the power of the Arameans. Then the people of Israel lived in their own homes as they had before.
BOEIPA loh Israel aka khang ham te a paek dongah Aram kut hmui lamloh loeih uh. Te dongah Israel ca khaw hlaem hlavai kah bangla a dap ah kho a sak uh.
6 Nevertheless, they did not turn away from the sins that the house of Jeroboam had caused Israel to commit, but they continued to walk in them. The Asherah pole even remained standing in Samaria.
Jeroboam im kah tholhnah lamloh nong uh pawh. A khuiah Israel aka tholh la aka tholh sak dongah te pongpa tih Asherah khaw Samaria ah pai.
7 Jehoahaz had no army left, except fifty horsemen, ten chariots, and ten thousand foot soldiers, because the king of Aram had destroyed them and made them like the dust at threshing.
Jehoahaz taengah pilnam khaw a paih pah pawt dongah marhang caem sawmnga, leng parha neh rhalkap thawng rha bueng dawk a om pah. Amih te Aram manghai loh a milh sak tih amih te laipi a til phoeikah bangla a khueh.
8 As for the rest of the acts of Jehoahaz, along with all his accomplishments and his might, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel?
Jehoahaz kah ol noi neh a saii boeih neh a thayung thamal te khaw, Israel manghai rhoek kah khokhuen olka cabu dongah a daek uh moenih a?
9 And Jehoahaz rested with his fathers and was buried in Samaria. And his son Jehoash reigned in his place.
Jehoahaz te a napa rhoek taengla a khoem uh vaengah anih te Samaria ah a up uh. Te phoeiah a capa Joash te anih yueng la manghai.
10 In the thirty-seventh year of the reign of Joash over Judah, Jehoash son of Jehoahaz became king of Israel in Samaria, and he reigned sixteen years.
Judah manghai Joash kah kum sawmthum kum rhih vaengah Jehoahaz capa Jehoash loh Samaria ah Israel te kum hlai rhuk a manghai thil.
11 And he did evil in the sight of the LORD and did not turn away from all the sins that Jeroboam son of Nebat had caused Israel to commit, but he walked in them.
BOEIPA mikhmuh ah boethae a saii tih Nebat capa Jeroboam kah tholhnah cungkuem lamloh a nong pawt dongah a khuiah Israel aka tholh sak te ni a vai.
12 As for the rest of the acts of Jehoash, along with all his accomplishments and his might, including his war against Amaziah king of Judah, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel?
Joash kah ol noi neh a saii boeih khaw, Judah manghai Amaziah a vathoh thil vaengkah a thayung thamal khaw, Israel manghai rhoek kah khokhuen olka cabu dongah a daek uh moenih a?
13 And Jehoash rested with his fathers, and Jeroboam succeeded him on the throne. Jehoash was buried in Samaria with the kings of Israel.
Joash te a napa rhoek taengla a khoem uh vaengah anih kah ngolkhoel dongah Jeroboam ngol. Joash te Samaria ah a Israel manghai rhoek taengah a up.
14 When Elisha had fallen sick with the illness from which he would die, Jehoash king of Israel came down to him and wept over him, saying, “My father, my father, the chariots and horsemen of Israel!”
Elisha te a tloh nue tih a duek tom vaengah anih taengla Israel manghai Joash te suntla. Te vaengah a maelhmai a rhah thil tih, “A pa, a pa, Israel kah leng neh a marhang caem,” a ti.
15 Elisha told him, “Take a bow and some arrows.” So Jehoash took a bow and some arrows.
Te vaengah Elisha loh anih te, “Lii neh thaltang lo lah,” a ti nah dongah amah ham lii neh thaltang te a loh.
16 Then Elisha said to the king of Israel, “Put your hand on the bow.” So the king put his hand on the bow, and Elisha put his hands on the king’s hands.
Te phoeiah Israel manghai te, “Na kut te lii dongah tloeng,” a ti nah. A kut a tloeng van neh Elisha loh a kut te manghai kut soah a tloeng.
17 “Open the east window,” said Elisha. So he opened it and Elisha said, “Shoot!” So he shot. And Elisha declared: “This is the LORD’s arrow of victory, the arrow of victory over Aram, for you shall strike the Arameans in Aphek until you have put an end to them.”
Te phoeiah, “Khothoeng bangbuet te ong lah,” a ti nah tih a ong. Te vaengah Elisha loh, “Kap lah,” a ti nah tih a kah. Te phoeiah, “BOEIPA kah loeihnah thaltang neh Aram lamloh loeihnah thaltang, Aram te a thok hil Aphek ah na ngawn pawn ni,” a ti nah.
18 Then Elisha said, “Take the arrows!” So he took them, and Elisha said to the king of Israel, “Strike the ground!” So he struck the ground three times and stopped.
Te phoeiah, “Thaltang te lo lah,” a ti nah tih a loh. Tedae Israel manghai te, “Diklai taam thil,” a ti nah hatah voei thum a taam vaengah vik pai.
19 But the man of God was angry with him and said, “You should have struck the ground five or six times. Then you would have struck down Aram until you had put an end to it. But now you will strike down Aram only three times.”
Te dongah Pathen kah hlang te anih taengah a thintoek tih, “Voei nga voei rhuk khaw na taam vetih Aram te a thok hil na ngawn mako. Aram te voei thum bueng ni na ngawn thai pawn eh?,” a ti nah.
20 And Elisha died and was buried. Now the Moabite raiders used to come into the land every spring.
Tedae Elisha duek tih a up uh nen tah a kum a thok ah Moab caem loh khohmuen te a muk.
21 Once, as the Israelites were burying a man, suddenly they saw a band of raiders, so they threw the man’s body into Elisha’s tomb. And as soon as his body touched the bones of Elisha, the man was revived and stood up on his feet.
Te vaengkah amih hlang aka up rhoek om tih caem te lawt a hmuh. Te dongah hlang te Elisha kah phuel ah a voeih uh tih cet uh. Tedae hlang loh Elisha kah rhuh te a ben vaengah tah hing tih amah kho dongah koep pai.
22 And Hazael king of Aram oppressed Israel throughout the reign of Jehoahaz.
Jehoahaz tue khuiah tah Aram manghai Hazael loh Israel te a nen.
23 But the LORD was gracious to Israel and had compassion on them, and He turned toward them because of His covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. And to this day, the LORD has been unwilling to destroy them or cast them from His presence.
Tedae BOEIPA loh amih te a rhen tih amih te a haidam. Abraham, Isaak neh Jakob taengkah a paipi kongah amih taengla mael. Amih phae ham a ngaih pawt dongah ni tahae duela a mikhmuh lamloh amih te a voeih pawh.
24 When Hazael king of Aram died, his son Ben-hadad reigned in his place.
Aram manghai Hazael a duek van neh a capa Benhadad te anih yueng la manghai.
25 Then Jehoash son of Jehoahaz took back from Ben-hadad son of Hazael the cities that Hazael had taken in battle from his father Jehoahaz. Jehoash defeated Ben-hadad three times, and so recovered the cities of Israel.
Te daengah Jehoahaz capa Jehoash te mael tih khopuei rhoek te Hazael capa Benhadad kut lamloh koep a lat. Te te a napa Jehoahaz kut lamloh a loh pah dongah Joash loh anih te caem neh voei thum a ngawn tih Israel khopuei rhoek te koep a lat.
