1 Kings 22
1 Then three years passed without war between Syria and Israel.
Aram laklo neh Israel laklo ah kum thum caemtloek om kolla kho a sak uh.
2 But in the third year, Jehoshaphat, the king of Judah, descended to the king of Israel.
A kum thum dongla a pha vaengah tah Judah manghai Jehoshaphat te Israel manghai taengla suntla.
3 And the king of Israel said to his servants, “Are you ignorant that Ramoth Gilead is ours, and that we have neglected to take it from the hand of the king of Syria?”
Te vaengah Israel manghai loh a sal rhoek te, “Ramothgilead te mamih kah la na ming nama? Tedae Aram manghai kut lamloh te te n'lat parhi mamih n'ngam uh coeng,” a ti nah.
4 And so he said to Jehoshaphat, “Will you come to the battle with me at Ramoth Gilead?”
Te phoeiah Jehoshaphat te Ramothgilead ah caemtloek ham kai neh cet sih ne? a ti nah. Jehoshaphat loh Israel manghai taengah, “Kai khaw nang banghui ni, ka pilnam khaw na pilnam banghui, ka marhang khaw na marhang banghui,” a ti nah.
5 And Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel: “As I am, so also are you. My people and your people are one. And my horsemen are your horsemen.” And Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel, “I beg you to inquire today of the word of the Lord.”
Tedae Jehoshaphat loh Israel manghai taengah, “Tihnin kah bangla BOEIPA ol te dawtlet mai,” a ti nah.
6 Therefore, the king of Israel gathered together the prophets, about four hundred men, and he said to them, “Should I go to Ramoth Gilead to make war, or should I be at peace?” They responded, “Ascend, and the Lord will give it into the hand of the king.”
Te dongah Israel manghai loh tonghma hlang ya li tluk te a coi. Te phoeiah amih te, “Ramothgilead ah caemtloek la ka cet aya? Ka paa aya?,” a ti nah vaengah, “Cet, ka Boeipa loh manghai kut ah m'paek bitni,” a ti uh.
7 Then Jehoshaphat said, “Is there not here a particular prophet of the Lord, so that we may inquire by him?”
Jehoshaphat loh, “Amah n'dawtlet uh thil ham khaw heah he BOEIPA kah tonghma om pawt nim?” a ti nah.
8 And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat: “One man remains, by whom we may be able to inquire of the Lord: Micaiah, the son of Imlah. But I hate him. For he does not prophecy good to me, but evil.” And Jehoshaphat said, “You should not speak in this way, O king.”
Israel manghai loh Jehoshaphat te, “BOEIPA dawtlet ham hlang pakhat om pueng sitoe cakhaw, Imlah capa Mikhaiah long he kai ham tah hnothen neh a tonghma pawt dongah anih te ka hmuhuet. Tedae Imlah capa Mikhaiah tah a boethae bueng ni,” a ti nah. Jehoshaphat loh, “Manghai he te tla a cal moenih,” a ti nah.
9 Therefore, the king of Israel called a certain eunuch, and he said to him, “Hurry to bring here Micaiah, the son of Imlah.”
Te dongah Israel manghai loh imkhoem pakhat te a khue tih, “Imlah capa Mikhaiah te a loe la lo,” a ti nah.
10 Now the king of Israel, and Jehoshaphat, the king of Judah, were each sitting upon his own throne, clothed in the habit of royal vestments, in a courtyard beside the entrance of the gate of Samaria. And all the prophets were prophesying in their sight.
Te vaengah hlang he Israel manghai khaw, Judah manghai Jehoshaphat khaw a himbai bai neh a ngolkhoel neh Samaria vongka thohka kah cangtilhmuen ah ngol uh. Te vaengah tonghma tom khaw amih mikhmuh ah tonghma uh van.
11 Also, Zedekiah, the son of Chenaanah, made for himself horns of iron, and he said, “Thus says the Lord: With these, you shall threaten Syria, until you destroy it.”
Kenaanah capa Zedekiah long tah amah ham thi kii a saii tih, “BOEIPA loh he ni a thui. Amih Aram te a thok hil he nen he na thoeh ni,” a ti nah.
12 And all the prophets were prophesying similarly, saying: “Ascend to Ramoth Gilead, and go forth to success. For the Lord will deliver it into the hands of the king.”
Tonghma boeih khaw tonghma uh tangloeng tih, “Ramothgilead te paan lamtah thaihtak laeh, BOEIPA loh manghai kut ah a tloeng bitni,” a ti uh.
13 Then truly, the messenger who had gone to summon Micaiah spoke to him, saying: “Behold, the words of the prophets, as if with one mouth, are predicting good to the king. Therefore, let your word be like theirs, and speak what is good.”
Mikhaiah khue ham aka cet puencawn loh anih te a voek tih, “Tonghma rhoek kah ol he a ka pakhat la a caeh dongah manghai ham khaw then coeng ke. Ol he tah nang ol khaw amih neh ol pakhat la om saeh lamtah a then mah thui laeh,” a ti nah.
14 But Micaiah said to him, “As the Lord lives, whatever the Lord will have said to me, this shall I speak.”
Tedae Mikhaiah loh, “BOEIPA kah hingnah bangla BOEIPA loh kai taengah a thui bueng te ni ka thui,” a ti nah.
15 And so he went to the king. And the king said to him, “Micaiah, should we go to Ramoth Gilead to do battle, or should we cease?” And he responded to him, “Ascend, and go forth to success, and the Lord will deliver it into the hands of the king.”
Manghai taeng a pha vaengah manghai loh anih te, “Mikhaiah, caemtloek ham Ramothgilead la ka paan aya? ka paa aya?,” a ti nah. Te dongah manghai te, “Paan lamtah thaihtak laeh, BOEIPA loh manghai kut ah a paek bitni,” a ti nah.
16 But the king said to him, “I require you under oath, again and again, that you not say to me anything except what is true, in the name of the Lord.”
Tedae manghai loh anih te, “Kai taengah tah BOEIPA ming neh oltak dawk na thui pawt ham Kai loh nang te voei me yet hil lae kan caeng aih,” a ti nah.
17 And he said: “I saw all of Israel scattered among the hills, like sheep that have no shepherd. And the Lord said: ‘These have no master. Let each of them return to his own house in peace.’”
Te vaengah, “Israel pum he tlang ah a taekyak boiva bangla ka hmuh. Amih aka dawn ham he om pawh. Te dongah BOEIPA loh, 'He rhoek he a boei a om moenih. Hlang loh amah im te ngaimong la paan uh saeh,’ a ti,” a ti nah.
18 Therefore, the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat: “Did I not tell you that he prophesies nothing good to me, but always evil?”
Israel manghai loh Jehoshaphat taengah,” Nang taengah ka thui moenih a? Kai ham tah a thae bueng tih a then la a tonghma tlaih moenih,” a ti nah.
19 Yet truly, continuing, he said: “Because of his, listen to the word of the Lord. I saw the Lord sitting upon his throne. And the entire army of heaven was standing beside him, to the right and to the left.
Te phoeiah, “Te dongah BOEIPA ol he hnatun. BOEIPA he amah ngolkhoel dongah ngol tih a banvoei a bantang kah amah taengah vaan caempuei boeih a pai te ka hmuh.
20 And the Lord said, ‘Who will mislead Ahab, the king of Israel, so that he may ascend and fall at Ramoth Gilead?’ And one spoke words in this manner, and another spoke otherwise.
BOEIPA loh, 'Ramothgilead a paan vaengah cungku sak ham Ahab te ulong a cuek eh? ' a ti. Te dongah he tlam he a thui pah tih ke tlam khaw a thui pah.
21 But then a spirit went out and stood before the Lord. And he said, ‘I will mislead him.’ And the Lord said to him, ‘By what means?’
Mueihla ha pawk tih BOEIPA mikhmuh ah a pai phoeiah tah, 'Anih te kamah loh ka cuek eh?,’ a ti. Te vaengah BOEIPA loh anih te, 'Me nen nim?' a ti nah.
22 And he said, ‘I will go forth, and I will be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets.’ And the Lord said: ‘You will deceive him, and you will prevail. Go forth, and do so.’
Te vaengah, 'Ka paan vetih a tonghma boeih kah a ka dongah laithae mueihla la ka om pah ni,’ a ti nah. Te dongah, 'Na cuek vetih na coeng pataeng bitni, cet lamtah saii tangloeng,’ a ti nah.
23 So now, behold: the Lord has given a lying spirit into the mouth of all your prophets who are here. And the Lord has spoken evil against you.”
Te dongah BOEIPA loh laithae mueihla te na tonghma boeih kah ka dongah a khueh coeng he. BOEIPA loh nang ham yoethae kawng ni a thui,” a ti nah.
24 Then Zedekiah, the son of Chenaanah, drew near and struck Micaiah on the jaw, and he said, “So then, has the Spirit of the Lord left me, and spoken to you?”
Te vaengah Kenaanah capa Zedekiah te thoeih tih Mikhaiah te a kam ah a thoek. Te phoeiah, “Nang aka voek ham BOEIPA mueihla he kai taeng lamloh melam a kat,” a ti nah.
25 And Micaiah said, “You shall see in the day when you will enter into a room within a room, so that you may conceal yourself.”
Te dongah Mikhaiah loh, “Imkhui kah imkhui ah thuh hamla na mop khohnin daengah nang loh hmu ne,” a ti nah.
26 And the king of Israel said: “Take Micaiah, and let him dwell with Amon, the ruler of the city, and with Joash, the son of Amalech.
Te vaengah Israel manghai loh, “Mikhaiah te khuen uh lamtah khopuei mangpa Amon taeng neh manghai capa Joash taengla thak uh.
27 And tell them: ‘Thus says the king: Put this man in prison, and sustain him with the bread of affliction, and with the water of distress, until I return in peace.’”
Te phoeiah, 'Manghai loh he ni a thui. Anih he thongim ah khueh uh. Kai sading la ka pawk hil anih he hnaemtaeknah tui neh hnaemtaeknah buh mah cah uh,’ ti nah,” a ti nah.
28 And Micaiah said, “If you will have returned in peace, the Lord has not spoken through me.” And he said, “May all the people hear it.”
Tedae Mikhaiah loh, “Sading neh na mael la na mael atah kai dongah BOEIPA cal pawt mako,” a ti nah. Te phoeiah amih pilnam pum te khaw, “Hnatun uh he,” a ti nah.
29 And so, the king of Israel, and Jehoshaphat, the king of Judah, ascended to Ramoth Gilead.
Te phoeiah Israel manghai neh Judah manghai Jehoshaphat loh Ramothgilead te a paan.
30 Then the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat: “Take up your armor, and enter the battle. And be clothed in your own garments.” But the king of Israel changed his clothing, and he entered the war.
Israel manghai loh Jehoshaphat te, “Ka sa uh vetih caemtloek la ka cet ni, nang te namah kah himbai bai ngawn,” a ti nah. Te dongah Israel manghai te sa uh tih caemtloek la cet.
31 Now the king of Syria had instructed the thirty-two commanders of the chariots, saying, “You shall not fight against anyone, small or great, except against the king of Israel alone.”
Aram manghai loh leng mangpa rhoek sawmthum panit te a uen tih, “Israel manghai amah bueng phoeiah tah, a tanoe a kangham khaw tloek uh boeh,” a ti nah.
32 Therefore, when the commanders of the chariots saw Jehoshaphat, they suspected that he was the king of Israel. And making a violent assault, they fought against him. And Jehoshaphat cried out.
Leng mangpa rhoek loh Jehoshaphat te a hmuh vaengah amih loh Israel manghai rhep a ti uh. Te dongah anih te tloek ham dong uh dae Jehoshaphat lo a pang thil.
33 And the commanders of the chariots understood that he was not the king of Israel, and so they turned away from him.
Tedae anih te Israel manghai moenih tila leng mangpa rhoek loh a hmuh van neh anih hnuk lamloh mael uh.
34 But a certain man bent his bow, aiming the arrow without certitude, and by chance he struck the king of Israel, between the lungs and the stomach. Then he said to the driver of his chariot, “Turn your hand, and carry me away from the army, for I have been grievously wounded.”
Tedae hlang pakhat loh amah thincaknah neh lii a phuk hatah Israel manghai te rhuhcong laklo neh caempho laklo ah a kah. Te dongah amah kah lengboei te, “Na kut hooi lamtah caem lamloh kai n'khuen laeh, ka nue coeng,” a ti nah.
35 Then the battle was undertaken throughout that day. And the king of Israel was standing on his chariot opposite the Syrians, and he died in the evening. For the blood was flowing from the wound into the joints of the chariot.
Hnin at puet caemtloek khaw a caeh vaengah tah manghai te Aram dan kah leng dongah pai sut. Hlaem vaengah tah duek tih a hmasoe thii te leng kah tungngol dongla long.
36 And a herald proclaimed throughout the entire army, before the setting of the sun, saying: “Let each one return to his own city, and to his own land.”
Khomik a tlak vaengah tah caem khuiah tamlung cet tih, “Hlang te amah khopuei la, amah khohmuen la rhip mael saeh,” a ti.
37 Then the king died, and he was carried into Samaria. And they buried the king in Samaria.
Manghai te a duek daengah Samaria la pawk tih Samaria ah manghai te a up uh.
38 And they washed his chariot in the pool of Samaria. And the dogs licked up his blood. And they washed the reins, in accord with the word of the Lord which he had spoken.
Leng te Samaria tuibuem ah a lae tih BOEIPA ol loh a thui bangla pumyoi tuihluk ah a thii te ui loh a laeh.
39 But the rest of the words of Ahab, and all that he did, and the house of ivory that he built, and all the cities that he constructed, were these not written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Israel?
Ahab kah ol noi neh a saii boeih, vueino im a sak te khaw, khopuei tom a sak te khaw, Israel manghai rhoek kah khokhuen olka cabu dongah a daek uh moenih a?
40 And so, Ahab slept with his fathers. And Ahaziah, his son, reigned in his place.
A napa rhoek taengla Ahab a khoem uh phoeiah tah a capa Ahaziah he anih yueng la manghai.
41 Yet truly, Jehoshaphat, the son of Asa, had begun to reign over Judah in the fourth year of Ahab, the king of Israel.
Israel manghai Ahab kah a kum li dongah Asa capa Jehoshaphat te Judah ah manghai.
42 He was thirty-five years old when he had begun to reign, and he reigned for twenty-five years in Jerusalem. The name of his mother was Azubah, the daughter of Shilhi.
Jehoshaphat he sawmthum kum nga a lo ca vaengah manghai tih Jerusalem ah kum kul kum nga manghai. A manu ming tah Shilhi canu Azubah ni.
43 And he walked in the entire way of Asa, his father, and he did not decline from it. And he did what was right in the sight of the Lord. Yet truly, he did not take away the high places. For still the people were sacrificing and burning incense in the high places.
BOEIPA mikhmuh ah a thuem saii ham he a napa Asa kah longpuei cungkuem dongah pongpa tih anih lamkah te phaelh pawh.
44 And Jehoshaphat had peace with the king of Israel.
Tedae hmuensang a khoe uh kolla pilnam a nawn pueng tih hmuensang ah a phum uh.
45 But the rest of the words of Jehoshaphat, and his works that he did, and the battles, were these not written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Judah?
Jehoshaphat loh Israel manghai te a thuung. Jehoshaphat kah ol noi neh a thayung thamal a saii khaw, a vathoh te khaw Judah manghai rhoek kah khokhuen olka cabu dongah a daek uh moenih a?
46 Then, too, the remnant of the effeminate, who had remained in the days of Asa, his father, he took away from the land.
Hlanghalh kah a coih, a napa Asa tue lamloh aka om te khohmuen lamloh a khoe.
47 At that time, there was no king appointed in Idumea.
Edom ah manghai tal tih manghai a khueh pah.
48 Yet truly, king Jehoshaphat had made a navy on the sea, which would sail to Ophir for gold. But they were unable to go, because the ships were broken down at Eziongeber.
Ophir sui te paan hamla Jehoshaphat loh Tarshish sangpho te a saii tah a saii dae Eziongeber ah sangpho te a rhek la a rhek pah tih hlaikan pawh.
49 Then Ahaziah, the son of Ahab, said to Jehoshaphat, “Let my servants go with your servants on the ships.” But Jehoshaphat was not willing.
Ahab capa Ahaziah loh Jehoshaphat taengah, “Ka sal rhoek he na sal rhoek taengah sangpho neh pongpa uh mai saeh,” a ti nah dae Jehoshaphat loh ngaih pawh.
50 And Jehoshaphat slept with his fathers, and he was buried with them in the city of David, his father. And Jehoram, his son, reigned in his place.
Jehoshaphat khaw a napa taengla a khoem uh vaengah a napa David khopuei kah a napa rhoek taengah a up uh tih a capa Jehoram te anih yueng la manghai.
51 Then Ahaziah, the son of Ahab, began to reign over Israel, in Samaria, in the seventeenth year of Jehoshaphat, the king of Judah. And he reigned over Israel for two years.
Judah manghai Jehoshaphat kah kum hlai rhih vaengah Ahab capa Ahaziah loh Samaria ah Israel a manghai thil tih Israel soah kum nit manghai.
52 And he did evil in the sight of the Lord. And he walked in the way of his father and his mother, and in the way of Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, who caused Israel to sin.
BOEIPA mikhmuh ah boethae a saii tih a napa longpuei ah, a manu longpuei ah, Israel aka tholh sak Nebat capa Jeroboam kah longpuei ah pongpa.
53 Also, he served Baal, and he adored him, and he provoked the Lord, the God of Israel, in accord with all that his father had done.
Baal te tho a thueng thil tih a taengah a bakop dongah a napa kah a saii bangla a cungkuem dongah Israel Pathen BOEIPA te a veet.
