2 Kings 3
1 In the eighteenth year of Jehoshaphat’s reign over Judah, Jehoram son of Ahab became king of Israel, and he reigned in Samaria twelve years.
Judah siangpahrang Jehoshaphat a bawi kum 18 nah, Ahab capa Jehoram teh Isarelnaw lathueng Samaria vah siangpahrang lah ao teh kum 12 touh a uk.
2 And he did evil in the sight of the LORD, but not as his father and mother had done. He removed the sacred pillar of Baal that his father had made.
BAWIPA mithmu vah thoenae a sak. Hatei a manu hoi a na pa patetlah na hoeh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, a na pa ni Baal talung a ung e hah a tâkhawng.
3 Nevertheless, he clung to the sins that Jeroboam son of Nebat had caused Israel to commit; he did not turn away from them.
Hateiteh, Isarelnaw e yonnae ka saksakkung Nebat capa Jeroboam, yonnae koe a bawk van teh, cettakhai hoeh.
4 Now Mesha king of Moab was a sheep breeder, and he would render to the king of Israel a hundred thousand lambs and the wool of a hundred thousand rams.
Moab siangpahrang Mesha teh tu ka khoum e doeh. Isarel siangpahrang koevah, tuca ting touh e muen hoi, tutan ting touh e muen hoi, kum tangkuem tamuk hah ouk a poe.
5 But after the death of Ahab, the king of Moab rebelled against the king of Israel.
Hatei Ahab a due hnukkhu teh, Moab siangpahrang teh Isarel siangpahrang koe taran lah a thaw.
6 So at that time King Jehoram set out from Samaria and mobilized all Israel.
Hote atueng nah, siangpahrang Jehoram teh Samaria kho hoi a tâco teh Isarel taminaw pueng hah a pâkhueng.
7 And he sent a message to Jehoshaphat king of Judah: “The king of Moab has rebelled against me. Will you go with me to fight against Moab?” “I will go,” replied Jehoshaphat. “I am like you, my people are your people, and my horses are your horses.”
A tâco teh, Judah siangpahrang Jehoshaphat koevah, Moab siangpahrang ni na tuk teh, Moabnaw heh na tuk khai ngai han na ou telah tami a patoun. Ahnimouh ni oe na tuk khai han bo khei, kai hoi nang, ka tami hoi na tami, teh buet touh lah o teh, ka marang hoi na marang buet touh lah doeh ao atipouh.
8 Then he asked, “Which way shall we go up?” “By way of the Desert of Edom,” replied Joram.
Pawiteh, nâ lam hoi maw takhang han vaw telah ati. Edom kahrawng lam koehoi cei han atipouh.
9 So the king of Israel, the king of Judah, and the king of Edom set out, and after they had traveled a roundabout route for seven days, they had no water for their army or for their animals.
Hot patetlah, Isarel siangpahrang teh, Judah siangpahrang hoi Edom siangpahrangnaw hoi a cei awh. Hnin sari touh thung lawngven laihoi a cei awh teh, ransanaw hoi saringnaw nei hane tui awm hoeh.
10 “Alas,” said the king of Israel, “for the LORD has summoned these three kings to deliver them into the hand of Moab!”
Isarel siangpahrang ni Aiyoe! BAWIPA ni siangpahrang kathum touh heh, hete Moabnaw koe poe hanelah na ceikhai awh e han doeh toe telah ati.
11 But Jehoshaphat asked, “Is there no prophet of the LORD here? Let us inquire of the LORD through him.” And one of the servants of the king of Israel answered, “Elisha son of Shaphat is here. He used to pour water on the hands of Elijah.”
Hateiteh, Jehoshaphat ni, awi hi vah, BAWIPA koe na ka het pouh kung BAWIPA e profet apihai awm hoeh namaw telah ati. Isarel siangpahrang a san buet touh ni Elijah kut dawk tui ouk ka awi e Shaphat capa Elisha hah atu hi ao atipouh.
12 Jehoshaphat affirmed, “The word of the LORD is with him.” So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat and the king of Edom went down to him.
Jehoshaphat ni ahni koe BAWIPA e lawk ao telah ati. Hahoi teh Isarel siangpahrang hoi Jehoshaphat hoi Edom siangpahrang teh ahni koevah a cei awh.
13 Elisha, however, said to the king of Israel, “What have we to do with each other? Go to the prophets of your father and of your mother!” “No,” replied the king of Israel, “for it is the LORD who has summoned these three kings to deliver them into the hand of Moab.”
Elisha ni Isarel siangpahrang koe nang hoi kai kâkuetnae bangmaw kaawm. Na pa profetnaw hoi na manu profetnaw koe cet awh khe atipouh. Hatei, Isarel siangpahrang ni ahni koe ka cet mahoeh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, siangpahrang kathum touh heh, Moabnaw kut dawk poe hane BAWIPA ni na kaw awh teh na pâkhueng awh e doeh telah ati.
14 Then Elisha said, “As surely as the LORD of Hosts lives, before whom I stand, were it not for my regard for the presence of Jehoshaphat king of Judah, I would not look at you or acknowledge you.
Elisha ni, a hmalah ouk ka kangduenae ransahu BAWIPA a hring e patetlah Judah siangpahrang Jehoshaphat heh barilawa ka tawn hoehpawiteh nang koelah kamlang hoiyah hmu patenghai na hmawt ngai mahoeh ei.
15 But now, bring me a harpist.” And while the harpist played, the hand of the LORD came upon Elisha
Bangtelah nakunghai, ratoung ka kueng panuek e na kaw pouh awh telah ati. Hahoi ratoung ka kueng panuek e ni a kueng pouh torei teh, BAWIPA e kut teh a tak dawk a pha.
16 and he said, “This is what the LORD says: ‘Dig this valley full of ditches.’
BAWIPA Cathut ni telah a dei. Hete a yawn heh tuikhu hoi kawi sak awh.
17 For the LORD says, ‘You will not see wind or rain, but the valley will be filled with water, and you will drink—you and your cattle and your animals.’
Bangkongtetpawiteh, BAWIPA ni telah a dei. Kahlî thoseh, kho ka rak e thoseh na hmawt awh mahoeh toe, hatei hete tangkom heh tui hoi koung akawi han. Hahoi teh, namamouh hoi na saringnaw, moithangnaw ni a nei thai awh han telah ati.
18 This is a simple matter in the sight of the LORD, and He will also deliver the Moabites into your hand.
Hetheh BAWIPA han teh hno titca e doeh. Moabnaw hai na kut dawk na poe awh han.
19 And you shall attack every fortified city and every city of importance. You shall cut down every good tree, stop up every spring, and ruin every good field with stones.”
Kacakpounge khonaw pueng hoi khopui kahawinaw pueng haiyah, na raphoe vaiteh, thing kahawi naw pueng hai na tâtueng awh han. Tuikhunaw pueng koung na paten awh vaiteh, hmuen kahawi naw pueng hah talung koung na paten awh han atipouh.
20 The next morning, at the time of the morning sacrifice, water suddenly flowed from the direction of Edom and filled the land.
Hahoi a tangtho amom tavai thuengnae tueng navah, pouk laipalah Edom ram lahoi tui a lawng teh a ram teh tui yikkawi.
21 Now all the Moabites had heard that the kings had come up to fight against them. So all who could bear arms, young and old, were summoned and stationed at the border.
Moabnaw pueng ni ama tuk hanelah siangpahrang a kamthaw ti a panue navah, taran katukthai pueng a pâkhueng teh khori koevah sut a pawp awh.
22 When they got up early in the morning, the sun was shining on the water, and it looked as red as blood to the Moabites across the way.
Hahoi teh, amom vah a thaw awh teh, kho a sei nah tui dawk khumbei a bet e hah, namran lahoi teh tui hah thi patetlah Moabnaw ni a hmu awh.
23 “This is blood!” they exclaimed. “The kings have clashed swords and slaughtered one another. Now to the plunder, Moab!”
Ahnimanaw ni thi tangngak doeh toe. Siangpahrangnaw hah amamouh hoi amamouh a kâtuk awh teh, a kâthei awh mue toe, Moabnaw tho awh leih. A hnopainaw lawm awh lei sei a kâti awh.
24 But when the Moabites came to the camp of Israel, the Israelites rose up and attacked them, and they fled before them. So the Israelites invaded their land and struck down the Moabites.
Isarelnaw e roenae hmuen koe a pha toteh, Isarelnaw a thaw awh teh, Moabnaw hah a tuk awh teh, koung a yawng awh. Moabnaw hah noenoe a thei awh teh, a ram totouh a pâlei awh.
25 They destroyed the cities, and each man threw stones on every good field until it was covered. They stopped up every spring and cut down every good tree. Only Kir-haraseth was left with stones in place, but men with slings surrounded it and attacked it as well.
Khonaw a raphoe pouh awh teh hmuen kahawinaw pueng hai talung hoi a dei pouh awh teh talung muen akawi. Tuikhunaw pueng muen a paten pouh awh teh, thing kahawinaw pueng hai koung a tâtueng awh. Hatei, Kirhareseth, rapan tumdum e teh tek awh hoeh. Hatei, tâyai kathoumnaw ni, a kalup awh teh a tâ awh.
26 When the king of Moab saw that the battle was too fierce for him, he took with him seven hundred swordsmen to break through to the king of Edom, but they could not prevail.
Moab siangpahrang ni na tuknae heh ka khang thai mahoeh tie a panue toteh, Edom siangpahrang koe pou yawng takhai hanlah a kâcai teh, tahloi ka patuem e cum sari touh a ceikhai. Hatei tapoung thai awh hoeh.
27 So he took his firstborn son, who was to succeed him, and offered him as a burnt offering on the city wall. And there was great fury against the Israelites, so they withdrew and returned to their own land.
Hahoi teh a camin ama yueng lah ka bawi hane hah rapan van vah, hmaisawi thuengnae lah a hno teh, Isarel taranlahoi lungkuephoehnae haw vah ao. Hottelah a ban takhai awh teh, amamae ram dawk a ban awh.
