< 2 Kings 6 >

1 Now the sons of the prophets said to Elisha: “Behold, the place in which we live before you is too narrow for us.
Profet capanaw ni Elisha koevah, khenhaw! nang koe khosaknae hmuen heh, maimouh hanelah a thoungca toe.
2 Let us go as far as the Jordan, and let us each take from the forest a piece of timber, so that we may build for ourselves a place to live there.” And he said, “Go.”
Pahren lahoi Jordan palang na cetsak awh nateh, Hawvah thing tâtueng awh han, mamouh khosak nahanelah sak awh han telah atipouh. Elisha ni oe cet awh leih telah kâ a poe.
3 And one of them said, “Then you, too, should go with your servants.” And he answered, “I will go.”
Tami buet touh ni, na sannaw koe ka cei han telah ati. Oe cet van lawih atipouh.
4 And he went with them. And when they had arrived at the Jordan, they were cutting down wood.
Hahoi teh ahnimouh koe a cei van. Jordan palang a pha toteh, thing a tâtueng awh.
5 Then it happened that, while someone was cutting timber, the iron of the ax fell into the water. And he cried out and said: “Alas, alas, alas, my lord! For this thing was borrowed.”
Tami buet touh ni, thing a tâtueng lahun nah, cakâ hah tui thung a bo teh ahni ni Aiyoe! ka bawipa, ka hlai e doeh, telah a hram.
6 Then the man of God said, “Where did it fall?” And he indicated to him the place. Then he cut off a piece of wood, and he threw it in. And the iron floated up.
Cathut e tami ni, nâtueng tapat maw a bo telah atipouh. Ahni ni a bonae tueng hah a patue. Hahoi thing buet touh a tâtueng hote hmuen koe a tâkhawng teh cakâ teh avanlah a kâlaw.
7 And he said, “Take it.” And he extended his hand, and took it.
Hatdawkvah ahni ni, racawng leih, atipouh hahoi a kâyap teh a racawng.
8 Now the king of Syria was fighting against Israel, and he took counsel with his servants, saying, “In this and that place, let us set up an ambush.”
Siria siangpahrang ni Isarel hah a tuk teh awi haw vah, awi hi vah pawm awh sei telah a sannaw hah a dei pouh.
9 And so the man of God sent to the king of Israel, saying: “Take care not to pass by that place. For the Syrians are there in ambush.”
Cathut e tami ni, Isarel siangpahrang koe vah, hote hmuen koe cei hoeh hanlah kâhruetcuet. Bangkongtetpawiteh hote hmuen koehoi Sirianaw ni na tâco sin awh han telah tami a patoun.
10 And so the king of Israel sent to the place which the man of God had told him, and he prevented it. And he preserved himself, concerning that place, not merely once or twice.
Isarel siangpahrang ni, Cathut tami ni a dei e hmuen, panue thai nahanlah tami a patoun. Awi haw hoi teh vai touh vai hni touh nahoeh. Voutsout a kârungngang awh toe.
11 And the heart of the king of Syria was disturbed over this matter. And calling together his servants, he said, “Why have you not revealed to me the one who is betraying me to the king of Israel?”
Hatdawkvah, hote kecu dawk Siria siangpahrang teh a lungreithai poung. A sannaw hah a kaw awh teh, ahnimouh koe vah, maimouh thung dawk hoi, apimaw Isarel Siangpahrang koe lah kampang e kaawm awh vai tie hah kai na panuek sak awh mahoeh maw atipouh.
12 And one of his servants said: “By no means, my lord the king! Rather it is the prophet Elisha, who is in Israel, who is revealing to the king of Israel every word whatsoever that you will speak in your conclave.”
A sannaw thung dawk hoi tami buet touh ni, apihai panuesaknae awm hoeh. Siangpahrang ka bawipa, hatei Isarel ram e kaawm profet Elisha ni na i khan koe na dei e lawk patenghai yah Isarel siangpahrang koe ouk a dei pouh dawk doeh atipouh.
13 And he said to them, “Go, and see where he is, so that I may send and capture him.” And they reported to him, saying, “Behold, he is in Dothan.”
Siangpahrang ni tami hah a patoun teh, man thai nahanelah na maw ao, tawng awh leih atipouh. Khenhaw! Dothan kho ao atipouh awh.
14 Therefore, he sent horses, and chariots, and experienced soldiers to that place. And when they had arrived in the night, they encircled the city.
Marang hoi leng hoi, ransa moikapap lah a patoun. Karum vah a cei awh teh, kho hah a kalup awh.
15 Now the servant of the man of God, arising at first light, went out and saw the army all around the city, with horses and chariots. And he reported it to him, saying: “Alas, alas, alas, my lord! What shall we do?”
Cathut tami e a san teh amom vah a thaw teh, a tâco toteh khenhaw! ransanaw ni marang hoi leng hoi kho hah king a kalup awh. A sanpa ni a bawipa koe ayâ ka bawipa bangtelamaw ti han toung atipouh.
16 But he responded: “Do not be afraid. For there are more with us than with them.”
Ahni ni, taket hanh, ahnimouh koelae hlak vah, maimouh koelae a paphnawn atipouh.
17 And when Elisha had prayed, he said, “O Lord, open the eyes of this one, so that he may see.” And the Lord opened the eyes of the servant, and he saw. And behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire, all around Elisha.
Elisha ni a ratoum teh BAWIPA a hmu thai nahan a mit ang sak haw atipouh. Hahoi BAWIPA ni hote thoundoun e mit a ang sak teh a hmu thai van. Elisha tengpam e mon dawkvah, hmaimarang hoi rangleng hoi akawi.
18 Then truly, the enemies descended to him. But Elisha prayed to the Lord, saying: “Strike, I beg you, this people with blindness.” And the Lord struck them, so that they would not see, in accord with the word of Elisha.
Siria taminaw ni ateng a pha awh toteh, Elisha ni BAWIPA koevah a ratoum. Hetnaw heh a mitdawn sak haw atipouh. Elisha e lawk patetlah a mit a dawn sak.
19 Then Elisha said to them: “This is not the way, and this is not the city. Follow me, and I will reveal to you the man whom you are seeking.” Then he led them into Samaria.
Elisha ni ahnimouh koe, het heh lam nahoeh. Kho hai kho nahoeh. Ka hnukkâbang awh, na tawng e tami koe na ceikhai awh han telah atipouh. Hottelah hoi Samaria vah a ceikhai awh.
20 And when they had entered into Samaria, Elisha said, “O Lord, open the eyes of these ones, so that they may see.” And the Lord opened their eyes, and they saw themselves to be in the midst of Samaria.
Samaria a pha toteh, Elisha ni BAWIPA koe vah a ratoum hetnaw heh a mit a hmu thai nahan a mit padai sak haw atipouh. Hahoi BAWIPA ni a mit a padai sak awh teh, koung a ang pouh. Khenhaw! Samaria doeh ao awh.
21 And the king of Israel, when he had seen them, said to Elisha, “My father, should I not strike them?”
Isarel siangpahrang ni a hmu awh toteh Elisha koevah apa ka thei awh han maw, thet laipalah maw ka ta han telah atipouh.
22 And he said: “You should not strike them. For you did not capture them with your sword or bow, so that you might strike them. Instead, set bread and water before them, so that they may eat and drink, and then go to their lord.”
Hatei ahni ni thet hanh. Na tahloi hoi na lilava hoi na man e san hah, na thei han na maw, vaiyei hoi tui hah poe awh na teh cat net awh naseh, a bawipa koe bout phat awh naseh.
23 And a great preparation of foods was placed before them. And they ate and drank. And he dismissed them. And they went away to their lord. And the robbers of Syria no longer came into the land of Israel.
Hahoi teh canei kawi moi a poe awh teh be a canei awh hoi teh, a ban sak awh. A bawipa koe koung a pha awh, hahoi teh Sirianaw ni Isarel ram taran bout thaw awh hoeh toe.
24 Now it happened that, after these things, Benhadad, the king of Syria, gathered together his entire army, and he ascended and was besieging Samaria.
Hahoi teh hettelah doeh. Siria siangpahrang Benhadad ni ransanaw a pâkhueng teh Samaria king a kalup awh.
25 And a great famine occurred in Samaria. And it was blockaded for a long time, until the head of a donkey was sold for eighty pieces of silver, and one fourth part of a pint of pigeons’ dung sold for five silver coins.
Samaria teh takangnae a patawpoung. Khenhaw! king a kalup awh teh, la e a lû hah tangka 80 touh lah a yo awh. Bakhu ei, pung pali touh dawk pung touh tangka shekel panga touh lah a pâphu awh.
26 And as the king of Israel was passing by the wall, a certain woman cried out to him, saying, “Save me, my lord the king!”
Isarel siangpahrang teh, rapan koe a cei navah, napui buet touh ni, oe siangpahrang ka bawipa na kabawm ei atipouh.
27 And he said: “If the Lord does not save you, how am I able to save you? From the grain floor, or from the wine press?” And the king said to her, “What is the matter with you?” And she responded:
Siangpahrang ni BAWIPA laipalah hoi kai ni bangtelah hoi maw na kabawp thai han aw, cangkatin nah koe, misur katinnae koe lahoi atipouh.
28 “This woman said to me: ‘Give your son, so that we may eat him today, and we will eat my son tomorrow.’
Siangpahrang ni napui koevah, Bangpatete runae maw bout atipouh. Napui ni, hete napui kai koe sahnin vah na capa heh ca hanelah thei roi han. Tangtho vah kaie capa hah ca roi han atipouh.
29 Therefore, we cooked my son, and we ate him. And I said to her on the next day, ‘Give your son, so that we may eat him.’ But she concealed her son.”
Hatdawkvah, ka capa hah ka thawng teh ka ca roi toe. Atangtho teh kai ni hai na capa ca hanelah thet van leih ka ti pouh toteh, a capa te oun a hro telah atipouh.
30 When the king had heard this, he tore his garments, and he passed along the wall. And all the people saw the haircloth that he had worn underneath, beside his flesh.
Siangpahrang ni hote napui ni a dei e a thai toteh, amae angki a phi teh, rapan van a kâhlai lahun nah, tami moikapap ni a khet toteh, burihni hah un a kâkhu.
31 And the king said, “May God do these things to me, and may he add these other things, if the head of Elisha, the son of Shaphat, will remain on him this day!”
Siangpahrang ni Shaphat capa Elisha e a lû teh sahnin a tak hoi kâkapek laipalah awm rah pawiteh, Cathut ni a ngai e patetlah na sak naseh, hot hlak ka pataw lahai yah a ti.
32 Now Elisha was sitting in his house, and the elders were sitting with him. And so he sent a man ahead. And before that messenger arrived, he said to the elders: “Do you not know that this son of a murderer is sending someone to cut off my head? Therefore, watch, and when the messenger arrives, close the door. And you shall not permit him to enter. For behold, the sound of his lord’s feet is behind him.”
Hatei Elisha ni a im van a tahung teh a lungkahanaw hai a tahung awh van. Siangpahrang ni ahni koe patoune a patoun. Hatei hote a patoune a tho hoehnahlan vah, Elisha ni tami ka thet e a ca teh kaie lahuen tâtueng hanlah, a patoun e na panuek awh hoeh maw. Hote a patoun e a tho toteh tho na khan awh teh, takhang teng vah ahni hah ngang awh. Ahnie a hnuklah a bawipa e lamcei pawlawk tho hoeh maw a ti.
33 While he was still speaking to them, the messenger appeared who was sent to him. And he said: “Behold, such a great evil is from the Lord! What more should I expect from the Lord?”
Hot patetlah ahnimouh a pato lahun nah, patoune teh ahnimouh koe a pha, hahoi a patoun e naw ni khenhaw! rawkphainae heh BAWIPA ni a patoun e doeh. BAWIPA teh bangkong bout ka ring han vaw telah a ti.
