2 Kings 7
1 Then Elisha said, “Hear the word of the LORD! This is what the LORD says: ‘About this time tomorrow at the gate of Samaria, a seah of fine flour will sell for a shekel, and two seahs of barley will sell for a shekel.’”
Elisha loh, “BOEIPA ol he ya uh. BOEIPA loh he ni a thui. Thangvuen tahae tue ah, Samaria vongka ah vaidam sum at te shekel khat la, cangtun sum nit te shekel khat la om ni,” a ti nah.
2 But the officer on whose arm the king leaned answered the man of God, “Look, even if the LORD were to make windows in heaven, could this really happen?” “You will see it with your own eyes,” replied Elisha, “but you will not eat any of it.”
A kut ah manghai loh a hangdang thil rhalboei loh Pathen kah hlang te a doo tih, “BOEIPA loh vaan bangbuet ong mai cakhaw he ol bangla thoeng aya te?” a ti nah. Te vaengah, “Na mik neh na hmuh vetih na ca mahpawh te,” a ti nah.
3 Now there were four men with leprosy at the entrance of the city gate, and they said to one another, “Why just sit here until we die?
Te vaengah aka pahuk hlang pali te vongka kah thohka taengah om uh tih pakhat loh a hui taengah, “Balae tih mamih loh n'duek hil heah n'ngol mai eh?”
4 If we say, ‘Let us go into the city,’ we will die there from the famine in the city; but if we sit here, we will also die. So come now, let us go over to the camp of the Arameans. If they let us live, we will live; if they kill us, we will die.”
Khopuei la cet sih n'ti vaengah nim khopuei ah khokha pai tih pahoi n'duek uh ni, heah n'om bal cakhaw n'duek uh ni. Te dongah cet uh mai sih lamtah Aram rhaehhmuen ah yalh uh sih. Mamih he n'hlun atah n'hing uh vetih mamih he n'duek sak atah n'duek uh bitni,” a ti uh.
5 So they arose at twilight and went to the camp of the Arameans. But when they came to the outskirts of the camp, there was not a man to be found.
Te dongah hlaemhmah ah thoo uh tih Aram kah rhaehhmuen la cet uh. Aram rhaehhmuen kah a bawt te a pha uh vaengah tah hlang tarha om pawh.
6 For the Lord had caused the Arameans to hear the sound of chariots, horses, and a great army, so that they said to one another, “Look, the king of Israel must have hired the kings of the Hittites and Egyptians to attack us.”
Ka Boeipa loh Aram caem te leng ol, marhang ol, tatthai ol muep a yaak sak dongah hlang loh a manuca taengah te, “Mamih he Israel manghai loh caem m'paang thil te, Khitti manghai rhoek neh Egypt manghai rhoek loh mamih m'paan coeng,” a ti uh.
7 Thus the Arameans had arisen and fled at twilight, abandoning their tents and horses and donkeys. The camp was intact, and they had run for their lives.
Te dongah thoo uh tih hlaemhmah ah rhaelrham uh coeng. A dap khaw, a marhang khaw, a laak khaw, rhaehhmuen khaw amah la a hnoo uh tih a hinglu ham bueng te rhaelrham uh.
8 When the lepers reached the edge of the camp, they went into a tent to eat and drink. Then they carried off the silver, gold, and clothing, and went and hid them. On returning, they entered another tent, carried off some items from there, and hid them.
Aka pahuk rhoek te rhaehhmuen bawt la a pawk uh vaengah dap pakhat ah kun uh. A caak uh tih a ok uh phoeiah te lamkah cak neh sui neh himbai khaw a phueih uh. Cet uh tih a thuh uh phoeiah mael uh tih dap a tloe la kun uh. Te lamkah a phueih uh phoeiah cet uh tih a thuh uh.
9 Finally, they said to one another, “We are not doing what is right. Today is a day of good news. If we are silent and wait until morning light, our sin will overtake us. Now, therefore, let us go and tell the king’s household.”
Te vaengah tah pakhat loh a hui taengah, “Mamih kah n'saii te a thuem moenih. Tahae khohnin he olthangthen kah khohnin ni. Mamih n'ngam uh tih mincang khosae hil n'rhing koinih thaesainah te mamih loh n'yook. Te dongah cet uh pawn sih lamtah m'pha neh manghai im ah puen uh sih,” a ti uh.
10 So they went and called out to the gatekeepers of the city, saying, “We went to the Aramean camp and no one was there—not a trace—only tethered horses and donkeys, and the tents were intact.”
Cet uh tih khopuei kah thoh tawt te a khue uh. Amih te a voek uh tih, “Aram kah rhaehhmuen la ka cet uh dae hlang tarha ana om pawh. Hlang ol khaw lo pawt tih marhang khaw a pael uh, laak khaw a pael uh, dap khaw amah la sut om,” a ti na uh.
11 The gatekeepers shouted the news, and it was reported to the king’s household.
Thoh tawt khaw pang uh tih manghai im khuila puen uh.
12 So the king got up in the night and said to his servants, “Let me tell you what the Arameans have done to us. They know we are starving, so they have left the camp to hide in the field, thinking, ‘When they come out of the city, we will take them alive and enter the city.’”
Manghai te khoyin ah thoo tih a sal rhoek taengah, “Aram loh mamih taengah a saii te nangmih taengah kan thui pawn eh. Mamih kah bungpong te a ming uh dongah rhaehhmuen lamloh kohong kah kohong patoeng la thuh ham khoe uh. 'Khopuei lamloh a coe uh kuekluek vaengah amih te a hing la tu sih lamtah tah khopuei la kun sih,’ a ti uh,” a ti nah.
13 But one of his servants replied, “Please, have scouts take five of the horses that remain in the city. Their plight will be no worse than all the Israelites who are left here. You can see that all the Israelites here are doomed. So let us send them and find out.”
Te vaengah a sal pakhat loh a doo tih, “Khopuei ah aka sueng la aka sueng marhang pumnga te ka khuen mai eh. Te rhoek khaw a khuiah aka sueng Israel hlangping khuikah hlangping bang boeih ni. Amih te Israel hlangping bangla boeih khum uh coeng ke. Te dongah n'tueih lamtah ka so lah eh,” a ti nah.
14 Then the scouts took two chariots with horses, and the king sent them after the Aramean army, saying, “Go and see.”
Te dongah marhang leng panit a loh phoeiah tah manghai loh Aram caem hnukah a tueih tih, “Cet lamtah so lah,” a ti nah.
15 And they tracked them as far as the Jordan, and indeed, the whole way was littered with the clothing and equipment the Arameans had thrown off in haste. So the scouts returned and told the king.
Amih hnuk te Jordan duela a hlak uh. Tedae Aram khaw amamih te tamto la tamto uh coeng tih longpuei takuem ah himbai neh hnopai te a bae la a voeih uh. Te dongah puencawn rhoek te mael uh tih manghai taengah puen uh.
16 Then the people went out and plundered the camp of the Arameans. It was then that a seah of fine flour sold for a shekel, and two seahs of barley sold for a shekel, according to the word of the LORD.
Te daengah pilnam te cet tih Aram rhaehhmuen te a poelyoe uh. Te vaengah BOEIPA ol bangla vaidam sum at te shekel khat, cangtun sum nit te shekel khat la om.
17 Now the king had appointed the officer on whose arm he leaned to be in charge of the gate, but the people trampled him in the gateway, and he died, just as the man of God had foretold when the king had come to him.
Manghai loh rhalboei la a khueh tih a ban ah a hangdang thil te vongka ah a om sak. Tedae anih te pilnam loh vongka ah a daep tih Pathen kah hlang loh a thui bangla duek. Te te anih taengla manghai a suntlak vaengah a thui pah coeng.
18 It happened just as the man of God had told the king: “About this time tomorrow at the gate of Samaria, two seahs of barley will sell for a shekel, and a seah of fine flour will sell for a shekel.”
Pathen kah hlang loh manghai ham a thui pah vaengah, “Thangvuen tahae tue ah tah, Samaria vongka ah cangtun sum nit te shekel khat la, vaidam sum at te shekel khat la om ni,” a ti nah bangla thoeng.
19 And the officer had answered the man of God, “Look, even if the LORD were to make windows in heaven, could this really happen?” So Elisha had replied, “You will see it with your own eyes, but you will not eat any of it!”
Rhalboei loh Pathen kah hlang te a doo tih, “BOEIPA loh vaan bangbuet ong mai cakhaw te kah ol bangla thoeng venim he?” a ti nah vaengah, “Na mik neh na hmuh sui dae te lamkah te na ca mahpawh he,” a ti nah.
20 And that is just what happened to him. The people trampled him in the gateway, and he died.
Anih ham a thoeng tangloeng dongah anih te pilnam loh vongka ah a til tih duek.
