2 Kings 3
1 Truly, Joram, the son of Ahab, reigned over Israel, in Samaria, in the eighteenth year of Jehoshaphat, the king of Judah. And he reigned for twelve years.
Judah manghai Jehoshaphat kah kum hlai rhet dongah Ahab capa Jehoram loh Samaria ah Israel a manghai thil tih kum hlai nit manghai.
2 And he did evil in the sight of the Lord, but not as his father and mother did. For he took away the statues of Baal, which his father had made.
Tedae a manu a napa bang lamtah BOEIPA mikhmuh ah boethae a saii moenih. A napa loh a saii Baal kah kaam te khaw a khoe pah.
3 Yet truly, he did adhere to the sins of Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, who caused Israel to sin; neither did he withdraw from these.
Israel aka tholh sak Nebat capa Jeroboam kah tholhnah dongah balak tih te lamloh nong pawh.
4 Now Mesha, the king of Moab, raised many sheep. And he repaid to the king of Israel one hundred thousand lambs, and one hundred thousand rams, with their fleece.
Te vaengah Moab manghai Mesha tah saelhung boei la om tih Israel manghai te tuca thawng yakhat, tutal thawng yakhat mul neh a thuung.
5 And when Ahab had died, he transgressed the pact that he had with the king of Israel.
Tedae Ahab a duek van neh Moab manghai loh Israel manghai taengah boe a koek.
6 Therefore, king Joram departed on that day from Samaria, and he took a count of all of Israel.
Manghai Jehoram tah amah khohnin ah Samaria lamloh cet tih Israel pum te a soep.
7 And he sent to Jehoshaphat, the king of Judah, saying: “The king of Moab has withdrawn from me. Come to battle with me against him.” And he responded: “I will go up. What is mine, is yours. My people are your people. And my horses are your horses.”
Cet tih Judah manghai Jehoshaphat taengla ol a pat vaengah, “Moab manghai loh kai taengah boe a koek coeng dongah Moab te caemtloek thil ham kai taengla na lo aya?” a ti nah. Te vaengah, “Ka lo ni, kai khaw nang banghui, ka pilnam khaw na pilnam banghui, ka marhang khaw na marhang banghui ni,” a ti nah.
8 And he said, “Along which way shall we ascend?” So he responded, “Along the desert of Idumea.”
Te phoeiah, “Longpuei he me long nim n'caeh eh?” a ti nah vaengah, “Edom khosoek longpuei ah,” a ti nah.
9 Therefore, the king of Israel, and the king of Judah, and the king of Idumea, traveled, and they went by a circuitous path for seven days. But there was no water for the army or for the beasts of burden which were following them.
Te dongah Israel manghai neh Judah manghai khaw, Edom manghai khaw cet uh tih hnin rhih longcaeh hil a hil uh vaengah tah lambong ham neh a kho kung kah rhamsa ham khaw tui om pawh.
10 And the king of Israel said: “Alas, alas, alas! The Lord has gathered we three kings, so that he might deliver us into the hands of Moab.”
Israel manghai loh, “Ya-oe Manghai pathum he Moab kut ah tloeng ham nim BOEIPA loh n'khue dae,” a ti.
11 And Jehoshaphat said, “Is there not a prophet of the Lord here, so that we may appeal to the Lord through him?” And one of the servants of the king of Israel responded, “Elisha, the son of Shaphat, is here, who poured water upon the hands of Elijah.”
Tedae Jehoshaphat loh, “Heah he BOEIPA kah tonghma a om moenih a? Anih lamloh BOEIPA te n'dawt lah mako,” a ti nah. Israel manghai kah sal pakhat loh a doo tih, “Shaphat capa Elisha, Elijah kut dongah tui a bueih te heah om,” a ti nah.
12 And Jehoshaphat said, “The word of the Lord is with him.” And so, the king of Israel, with Jehoshaphat, the king of Judah, and with the king of Idumea, descended to him.
Te vaengah Jehoshaphat loh, “Anih taengah BOEIPA ol om,” a ti. Te dongah a taengla Israel manghai neh Jehoshaphat khaw, Edom manghai khaw suntla uh.
13 Then Elisha said to the king of Israel: “What is there between you and me? Go to the prophets of your father and your mother.” And the king of Israel said to him, “Why has the Lord gathered these three kings, so that he might deliver them into the hands of Moab?”
Elisha loh Israel manghai taengah, “Kai taeng neh nang taengah balae aka om? Na pa kah tonghma rhoek neh na nu kah tonghma rhoek taengah cet,” a ti nah. Tedae anih te Israel manghai loh, “Pawh, Moab kut ah tloeng hamla he manghai pathum he BOEIPA loh a khue,” a ti nah.
14 And Elisha said to him: “As the Lord of hosts lives, in whose sight I stand, if I was not humbled by the face of Jehoshaphat, the king of Judah, certainly I would neither have listened to you, nor have looked upon you.
Elisha loh, “Caempuei BOEIPA kah hingnah bangla amah mikhmuh ah ni ka pai. Judah manghai Jehoshaphat kah maelhmai pawt koinih kai loh nang kan hinyah venim. Nang te kanpaelki pawt vetih nang te kan hmu pawt mako.
15 But now, bring a musician to me.” And while the musician was playing, the hand of the Lord fell upon him, and he said:
Tedae rhotoeng aka tum mah kai taengla hang khuen uh laeh,” a ti nah. Rhotoeng aka tum loh a tum van neh BOEIPA kut te anih sola cet coeng.
16 “Thus says the Lord: Make, in the channel of this torrent, pit after pit.
Te dongah, “BOEIPA loh he ni a thui. Soklong he tuito, tuito kak la om saeh.
17 For thus says the Lord: You shall not see wind or rain. And yet this channel shall be filled with water. And you shall drink, you and your families, and your beasts of burden.
He he BOEIPA loh a thui coeng dongah, khohli na hmu uh pawt tih khonal na hmuh uh pawt cakhaw, soklong he tui bae vetih namamih neh na boiva neh na rhamsa neh na ok uh bitni.
18 And this is small in the sight of the Lord. So, in addition, he will also deliver Moab into your hands.
He he BOEIPA mik ah yoeikoek mai, Moab te na kut dongah m'paek ni.
19 And you shall strike every fortified town and every elect city. And you shall cut down every fruitful tree. And you shall obstruct all the sources of water. And you shall cover every excellent field with stones.”
Khopuei hmuencak boeih neh khopuei tung boeih te na tloek uh vetih thing then boeih te na hum uh ni. Tuisih tui boeih te na mak uh vetih lo then boeih te lungto neh thak na khoeih sak uh bitni.
20 Then it happened that, in the morning, when the sacrifices were usually to be offered, behold, water was arriving along the way of Idumea, and the land was filled with water.
Mincang a pha tih khocang a nawn ham vaengah tah Edom longpuei lamloh tui tarha long tih khohmuen ah tui bae.
21 Then all the Moabites, hearing that the kings had ascended so that they might fight against them, gathered all who had been girded with a belt around them, and they stood at the borders.
Amih taengah vathoh ham manghai rhoek a caeh te Moab pum loh a yaak vaengah cihin aka yen thai neh a so hang boeih te a khue tih khorhi ah pai uh.
22 And rising up in early morning, and when the sun was now rising before the waters, the Moabites saw the waters opposite them, which were red like blood.
Mincang a thoh uh vaengah tah khomik loh tui soah a thoeng pah tih Moab loh tui te thii bangla a ling la a hmuh phai.
23 And they said: “It is the blood of the sword! The kings have fought among themselves, and they have slain one another. Go now, Moab, to the spoils!”
Te dongah, “Manghai rhoek a khah la khah uh thae kah thii ni he, hlang loh a hui khaw a ngawn coeng tih Moab kah kutbuem la om coeng,” a ti uh.
24 And they went into the camp of Israel. But Israel, rising up, struck Moab, and they fled before them. And since they had prevailed, they went and struck down Moab.
Israel caem te a paan uh dongah Israel te thoo tih Moab te a ngawn. Te dongah amih mikhmuh lamloh rhaelrham uh coeng dae a pawk nah kungah khaw Moab te a ngawn la a ngawn uh.
25 And they destroyed the cities. And they filled up every excellent field, each one casting stones. And they obstructed all the sources of water. And they cut down all the fruitful trees, to such an extent that only brick walls remained. And the city was encircled by the slingers of stones. And a great part of it was struck down.
Khopuei rhoek te a koengloeng uh tih lo then boeih khaw hlang loh lungto a voeih tih a kuk thiluh. Tuisih tui boeih te a mak uh. Kirhareseth ah lungto bueng a sueng hil thing then te boeih a hum uh. Tedae payai aka pom rhoek loh a vael uh tih a ngawn uh.
26 And when the king of Moab had seen this, specifically, that the enemies had prevailed, he took with him seven hundred men who draw the sword, so that he might break through to the king of Idumea. But they were unable.
Caemtloek loh amah a et te Moab manghai loh a hmuh vaengah amah taengkah cunghang aka pom hlang ya rhih te a khuen tih Edom manghai te a va dae coeng thai pawh.
27 And taking his firstborn son, who would have reigned in his place, he offered him as a holocaust upon the wall. And there was great indignation in Israel. And they promptly withdrew from him, and they turned back to their own land.
Te dongah amah yueng aka manghai ham a capa caming te a loh tih vongtung dongah hmueihhlutnah la a khuen. Israel soah a thinhul bat doela a taeng lamloh nong uh tih amah kho la mael uh.
