Kings III 20
1 And Nabuthai the Jezraelite had a vineyard, near the threshing floor of Achaab king of Samaria.
Aram manghai Benhadad loh amah kah thadueng boeih neh a taengkah manghai sawmthum panit, marhang neh leng khaw a coi. Te phoeiah cet tih Samaria te a dum tih a vathoh thil.
2 And Achaab spoke to Nabuthai, saying, Give me your vineyard, and I will have it for a garden of herbs, for it [is] near my house: and I will give you another vineyard better than it; or if it please you, I will give you money, the price of this your vineyard, and I will have it for a garden of herbs.
Te phoeiah khopuei la Israel manghai Ahab taengla puencawn a tueih.
3 And Nabuthai said to Achaab, My God forbid me that I should give you the inheritance of my fathers.
Ahab te, “Benhadad loh, 'Na cak neh na sui khaw kai ham, na yuu neh na ca khaw, na hnothen khaw kai ham,’ a ti,” a ti nah.
4 And the spirit of Achaab was troubled, and he lay down upon his bed, and covered his face, and ate no bread.
Israel manghai loh a doo tih, “Ka boei manghai namah ol bangla kai neh ka taengkah boeih he namah ham ni,” a ti nah.
5 And Jezabel his wife went in to him, and spoke to him, [saying], Why [is] your spirit troubled, and [why] do you eat no bread?
Puencawn rhoek te mael tih, “Benhadad loh he ni a thui. Na cak neh na sui, hoe ham nang taengla kan tueih, na yuu na ca rhoek khaw kai taengah m'pae,’ a ti.
6 And he said to her, Because I spoke to Nabuthai the Jezraelite, saying, Give me your vineyard for money; or if you will, I will give you another vineyard for it: and he said, I will not give you the inheritance of my fathers.
Thangvuen tahae tue ah ka sal rhoek nang taengla kan tueih vetih na im neh na sal rhoek im khaw a phuelhthaih uh ni. Na mik loh a ngailaemnah boeih te a kut dongah a tloeng uh vetih a khuen ni,” a ti nah.
7 And Jezabel his wife said to him, Do you now thus act the king over Israel? arise, and eat bread, and be your own [master], and I will give you the vineyard of Nabuthai the Jezraelite.
Israel manghai loh khohmuen kah a ham rhoek boeih te a khue tih,” Ming uh laeh lamtah boethae a tlap he hmuh uh. Ka taengla han tueih vaengah ka yuu neh ka ca rhoek, ka cak neh ka sui khaw, anih ham ka hloh moenih,” a ti nah.
8 And she wrote a letter in the name of Achaab, and sealed it with his seal, and sent the letter to the elders, and to the freemen who lived with Nabuthai.
Te vaengah anih te a ham boeih neh pilnam boeih loh, “Hnatun pah boeh, ngaih pah boeh,” a ti nah.
9 And it was written in the letters, saying, Keep a fast, and set Naboth in a chief place amongst the people.
Te dongah Benhadad kah puencawn rhoek te, “Ka boei manghai te thui pah, lamhma la sal nan tueih vaengkah boeih te tah ka ngai ni. Tedae tahae kah ol he ka ngai ham a coeng moenih,” a ti nah. Te phoeiah puencawn rhoek te cet uh tih ol te a mael puei uh.
10 And set two men, sons of transgressors, before him, and let them testify against him, saying, He blessed God and the king: and let them lead him forth, and stone him, and let them die.
Benhadad loh anih te ol a tah tih, “Samaria kah laipi he ka kho kung kah pilnam boeih ham kutpha dongah a buem atah pathen loh kai taengah n'saii saeh lamtah n'koei van saeh,” a ti nah.
11 And the men of his city, the elders, and the nobles who lived in his city, did as Jezabel sent to them, and as it had been written in the letters which she sent to them.
Israel manghai loh a doo tih, “Thui pa uh, a ka vah khaw aka dul bangla yan uh boel saeh,’ ti nah.
12 And they proclaimed a fast, and set Nebuthai in a chief place amongst the people.
Amah neh manghai rhoek loh dungtlungim ah a ok uh li vaengah he ol he a yaak. Te dongah a sal rhoek te, “Rhuengphong uh,” a ti nah tih khopuei te a rhuengphong thil uh.
13 And two men, sons of transgressors, came in, and sat opposite him, and bore witness against him, saying, You have blessed God and the king. And they led him forth out of the city, and stoned him with stones, and he died.
Te vaengah Israel manghai Ahab taengla tonghma pakhat pakcak a mop pah tih, “BOEIPA loh he ni thui, hlangping he yet he boeih na hmuh nama? Tihnin ah kai loh na kut dongah kam paek coeng tih kai he BOEIPA la nan ming bitni ne,” a ti nah.
14 And they sent to Jezabel, saying, Nabuthai is stoned, and is dead.
Te vaengah Ahab loh, “U nen nim?” a ti nah. Te dongah, “BOEIPA loh he ni a thui, paeng kah mangpa cadong rhoek neh,” a ti nah. Te phoeiah, “U long caemtloek a pin eh?” a ti nah hatah, “Nang loh,” a ti nah.
15 And it came to pass, when Jezabel heard [it], that she said to Achaab, Arise, take possession of the vineyard of Nabuthai the Jezraelite, who would not sell it to you: for Nebuthai is not alive, for he is dead.
Te dongah paeng kah mangpa cadong rhoek te a soep tih yahnih sawmthum panit lo uh. Amih phoeiah Israel ca boeih, pilnam pum te thawng rhih la a soep.
16 And it came to pass, when Achaab heard that Nabuthai the Jezraelite was dead, that he tore his garments, and put on sackcloth. And it came to pass afterward, that Achaab arose and went down to the vineyard of Nabuthai the Jezraelite, to take possession of it.
Te phoeiah khothun ah a muk uh dae Benhadad tah amah neh anih aka bom manghai rhoek, manghai sawmthum panit rhoek tah dungtlungim ah a ok uh tih rhui uh.
17 And the Lord spoke to Eliu the Thesbite, saying,
Te vaengah paeng kah mangpa cadong rhoek te lamhma la khoong uh tih Benhadad taengla a tueih. Te dongah a taengla puen uh tih, “Samaria lamkah hlang ha khoong,” a ti nah.
18 Arise, and go down to meet Achaab king of Israel, who is in Samaria, for he [is] in the vineyard of Nabuthai, for he has gone down there to take possession of it.
Te vaengah, “Rhoepnah ham ha pawk akhaw amih te a hing la tu uh, caemtloek ham ha pawk akhaw amih te a hing la tu uh,” a ti nah.
19 And you shall speak to him, saying, Thus says the Lord, Forasmuch as you have slain and taken possession, therefore thus says the Lord, In every place where the swine and the dogs have licked the blood of Nabuthai, there shall the dogs lick your blood; and the harlots shall wash themselves in your blood.
Te tlam te khopuei lamloh paeng kah mangpa cadong rhoek khoong uh tih amih hnukah tatthai rhoek te omuh.
20 And Achaab said to Eliu, Hast you found me, mine enemy? and he said, I have found [you]: because you have wickedly sold yourself to work evil in the sight of the Lord, to provoke him to anger;
Hlang pakhat loh hlang pakhat van a tloek uh dongah Aram rhoek te rhaelrham uh. Amih te Israel loh a hloem dae Aram manghai Benhadad tah marhang caem neh marhang dongah vik loeih.
21 behold, I bring evil upon you: and I will kindle a fire after you, and I will utterly destroy every male of Achaab, and him that is shut up and him that is left in Israel.
Israel manghai te cet tih marhang khaw leng khaw a ngawn pah. Aram soah hmasoe len neh a ngawn.
22 And I will make your house as the house of Jeroboam the son of Nabat, and as the house of Baasa son of Achia, because of the provocations wherewith you have provoked [me], and caused Israel to sin.
Te vaengah tonghma te Israel manghai taengla thoeih. Te phoeiah anih te, “Cet, thaahuel lamtah ming laeh. Kum a thok vaengah Aram manghai loh nang taengla ha pawk ham dongah metla na saii ham khaw ana so,” a ti nah.
23 And the Lord spoke of Jezabel, saying, The dogs shall devour her within the fortification of Jezrael.
Te vaengah Aram manghai kah sal rhoek loh, “Amih kah pathen tah tlang kah pathen ni. Te dongah mamih lakah tlung uh. Tedae amih te tlangkol ah m'vathoh thil koinih amih lakah n'tlung uh van mapawt nim?
24 Him that is dead of Achaab in the city shall the dogs eat, and him that is dead of him in the field shall the birds of the sky eat.
He ol bangla saii laeh. Manghai rhoek te amah hmuen lamloh rhip khoe lamtah amih yueng la rhalboei rhoek te tloep khueh laeh.
25 But Achaab [did] wickedly, in that he sold himself to do that which was evil in the sight of the Lord, as his wife Jezabel led him astray.
Namah loh nang lamkah caem a ha tarhing ah namah ham caem te hueh laeh. Marhang khaw marhang tarhing ah, leng khaw leng tarhing ah khueh laeh. Tlangkol ah amih m'vathoh thil ham te amih lakah n'tlung het mahpawt nim?” a ti nah. Te dongah amih ol te a hnatun tih a saii tangloeng.
26 And he did very abominably in following after the abominations, according to all that the Amorite did, whom the Lord utterly destroyed from before the children of Israel.
Kum a thok vaengah tah Benhadad loh Aram te a soep tih Israel caemtloek thil ham Aphek la cet.
27 And because of the word, Achaab was pierced with sorrow before the Lord, and he both went weeping, and tore his garment, and girded sackcloth upon his body, and fasted; he put on sackcloth also in the day that he struck Nabuthai the Jezraelite, and went his way.
Israel ca rhoek khaw soep uh thae, cangbam uh thae tih amih te mah hamla cet uh. Tedae Israel ca rhoek loh amih taengah maae ca rhoi bangla a rhaeh uh vaengah Aram loh diklai a khuk uh coeng.
28 And the word of the Lord came by the hand of his servant Eliu concerning Achaab, and the Lord said,
Te vaengah Pathen kah hlang te mop tih Israel manghai te a voek. Te phoeiah, “BOEIPA loh he ni a thui. Aram rhoek loh, 'Yahweh he tlang kah pathen ni, tuikol pathen moenih,’ a ti uh dongah hlangping he yet he nang kut la boeih kam paek. Te dongah kai he BOEIPA la nan ming bitni,” a ti nah.
29 Hast you seen how Achaab has been pricked [to the heart] before me? I will not bring on the evil in his days, but in his son's days will I bring on the evil.
Te rhoek danah hnin rhih rhaeh uh tih a hnin rhih dongah a pha vaengah caemtloek te pha uh. Te vaengah Israel ca rhoek loh khohnin pakhat neh Aram rhalkap thawng yakhat a ngawn uh.
30 And the son of Ader gathered all his forces, and went up and besieged Samaria, [he] and thirty-two kings with him, and all [his] horse and chariots: and they went up and besieged Samaria, and fought against it.
Aka sueng rhoek te Aphek khopuei la rhaelrham uh van dae hlang aka sueng duen thawng kul thawng rhih te vongtung loh a cungku thil. Benhadad te rhaelrham tih khopuei ah imkhui kah imkhui patoeng la kun.
31 And he sent into the city to Achaab king of Israel, and said to him, Thus says the son of Ader,
Te vaengah a sal rhoek loh anih te, “Israel im kah manghai rhoek tah sitlohnah manghai la n'yaak uh coeng he. Mamih cinghen ah tlamhni, mamih lu dongah rhui yil uh mai sih. Israel manghai taengla cet uh sih lamtah na hinglu khaw han hlun khaming,” a ti nauh.
32 Your silver and your gold are mine, and your wives and your children are mine.
Te dongah tlamhni te a cinghen ah, rhui te a lu ah a yen uh. Te phoeiah Israel manghai taengla cet uh tih, “Na sal Benhadad loh, 'Ka hinglu tah hing mai saeh,’ a ti,” a ti nauh. Te vaengah, “Anih ka manuca te amah hing pueng a?” a ti nah.
33 And the king of Israel answered and said, As you have said, my lord, O king, I am your, and all mine [also].
Te vaengah hlang rhoek loh lung a sawt uh tih tokthuet uh. Anih te a hmuek coeng dongah, “Na manuca Benhadad ni,” a ti uh vaengah, “Paan uh lamtah anih te lo uh,” a ti nah. Te dongah Benhadad te a taengla a pawk neh leng dongah a caeh puei.
34 And the messengers came again, and said, Thus says the son of Ader, I sent to you, saying, You shall give me your silver and your gold, and your wives and your children.
Te vaengah Benhadad loh Ahab te, “A pa loh na pa taeng lamkah a loh khopuei rhoek te kam mael pawn eh. A pa loh Samaria ah a khueh vanbangla Damasku ah namah ham kawtpoeng la khueh,” a ti nah. Te dongah, “Kai khaw paipi bangla nang kan tueih bitni,” a ti nah. Te dongah anih neh paipi a saii tih a tueih.
35 For at this time to-morrow I will send my servants to you, and they shall search your house, and the houses of your servants, and it shall be that all the desirable objects of their eyes on which they shall lay their hands, they shall even take [them].
Tonghma ca rhoek khuikah hlang pakhat loh BOEIPA ol bangla a hui taengah, “Kai he n'ngawn laeh,” a ti nah. Tedae hlang loh anih ngawn ham te a aal.
36 And the king of Israel called all the elders of the land, and said, Take notice now and consider, that this man seeks mischief: for he has sent to me concerning my wives, and concerning my sons, an concerning my daughters: I have not kept back from him my silver and my gold.
Te dongah anih te, “BOEIPA ol te na hnatun pawt dongah kai taeng lamloh na caeh neh sathueng loh nang n'ngawn ni te,” a ti nah. Te dongah anih taeng lamloh a caeh neh anih te sathueng loh a hmuh tih a ngawn.
37 And the elders and all the people said to him, Listen not, and consent not.
Hlang tloe te a hmuh vaengah, “Kai he n'ngawn mai,” a ti nah. Te dongah anih te hlang pakhat loh a ngawn vaengah a hi hamla a ngawn.
38 And he said to the messengers of the son of Ader, Say to your master, All things that you have sent to your servant about at first I will do; but this thing I shall not be able to do. And the men departed, and carried back the answer to him.
Te phoeiah tonghma te cet tih longpuei ah manghai ana pai thil. Te vaengah a mik dongkah mikben neh vik a ben.
39 And the son of Ader sent to him, saying, So do God to me, and more also, if the dust of Samaria shall suffice for foxes to all the people, even my infantry.
Manghai a pah phai vaengah manghai te a pang thil tih, “Na sal he caemtloek lakli la ka cet. Tedae hlang khat pakcak ha pawk tih kai taengla hlang hang khuen. Te vaengah, 'He kah hlang he ana dawn dae, a ha la a ha atah a hinglu ham te na hinglu om vetih cak talent khat neh na sah ni, ' a ti.
40 And the king of Israel answered and said, Let it be sufficient; let not the humpbacked boast as he that is upright.
Tedae na sal he heben hebang ah aka tok la a om vaengah anih ana om voel pawh,” a ti nah. Tedae Israel manghai loh anih te, “Namah kah laitloeknah te namah loh na hlavawt coeng,” a ti nah.
41 And it came to pass when he returned him this answer, he and all the kings with him were drinking in tents: and he said to his servants, Form a trench. And they made a trench against the city.
Te phoeiah a mik dong lamkah mikben te hawl a khong daengah anih te Israel manghai loh amah tonghma rhoek khui lamkah la a hmat.
42 And, behold, a prophet came to Achaab king of Israel, and said, Thus says the Lord, Hast you seen this great multitude? behold, I give it this day into your hands; and you shall know that I [am] the Lord.
Te phoeiah Ahab te, “BOEIPA loh he ni a thui. Hlang he kai kut lamloh yaehtaboeih la na hlah dongah a hinglu yueng la na hinglu, a pilnam yueng la na pilnam te om ni,” a ti nah.
43 And Achaab said, Whereby? And he said, Thus says the Lord, by the young men of the heads of the districts. And Achaab said, Who shall begin the battle? and he said, You.
Te dongah Israel manghai te a im la rhihnun cukduk neh thintoek la mael tih Samaria la pawk.
