< 2 Kings 7 >

1 Then Elisha said: “Listen to the word of the Lord. Thus says the Lord: Tomorrow, at this time, one measure of fine wheat flour will be one silver coin, and two measures of barley will be one silver coin, at the gate of Samaria.”
Elisha’n adonbut in, “Pakai thupeh ngaijin! Pakaiyin hitin aseije, tuphat don jingteng le Samaria thil kijohna mun’ah antuitah chu atena khat dimchu dangka khatna kijohding, sakol chaang atena dim ni jong dangka khat dinga hung kijoh ding ahi,” ati.
2 And one of the leaders, upon whose hand the king leaned, responding to the man of God, said, “Even if the Lord will open the floodgates of heaven, how can what you say possibly be?” And he said, “You will see it with your own eyes, and you will not eat from it.”
Hichun lengpa kithopi jing asepai lamkaipa chun Pathen mipa jah a chun, “Pakai amatah in vanna kona van bangkot ahondoh a, hitobang thilchu abol ding hijongleh hithei mong ding hi nam?” atin ahileh Elisha’n jong adonbut in, “Athilsoh ho chu namit tah a vang namu ding ahin, khatcha naneh khah louding ahi,” atipeh tan ahi.
3 Now there were four lepers beside the entrance of the gate. And they said one to another: “Should we choose to stay here until we die?
Tun khopi kelkot lutna kom’ah miphah li ana um’in ahi. Amaho chu khat le khat akidongto uvin, “Eiho hi thi ngah mai maija ihiti tou thim jingdiu hitam?” akitiuvin ahi.
4 If we choose to enter the city, we will die from the famine. And if we remain here, we also will die. Therefore, come and let us flee over to the camp of the Syrians. If they spare us, we will live. But if they choose to kill us, we will die anyway.”
“Eiho hitia hi ium uleh anngol’a ithi teidiu ahi, khopi sunga lut jong leuhen kel-khoh jeh a ithi thou thou diu ahi, hijehchun Syria sepaite kom’ahin kipelut jing leuhen eihing hoi maitheiju ahi, ijemtia eitha jingu jongleh ithi thou thoudiu ahin, hichu phajolou ham?” akitiuve.
5 Therefore, they rose up in the evening, so that they might go to the camp of the Syrians. And when they had arrived at the beginning of the camp of the Syrians, they found no one in that place.
Hiti chun jingpi phalvah-in amaho Syria ngahmun ah alut tauvin ahi. Hitia chu angah munna agalut uleh koimacha ana umpon ahi,
6 For indeed, the Lord had caused them to hear, in the camp of Syria, the sound of chariots and horses, and a very numerous army. And they said one to another: “Behold, the king of Israel has paid wages to the kings of the Hittites and of the Egyptians against us. And they will overwhelm us.”
Ajeh chu Pathen’in sakol lhaigin leh sakol kangtalai lhaigin chule sepai tamtah hung lhailut gin akithonsah in ahileh Israel lengpa hin, “Hit mite le Egypt mite akikou uva eihin nokhum mu ahitai,” atiuva kaple penga jammang gam'a ahitauve.
7 Therefore, they rose up and fled away in the dark. And they left behind their tents and horses and donkeys in the camp. And they fled, desiring to save so much as their own lives.
Hijeh a chu kicha behseh uva aponbuh u, asakol teu, asangan teu chuleh athildang ho jouse adalhah uva ahinkhou kihuhhing nading a ana jamdoh gam’ah ahitauve.
8 And so, when these lepers had arrived at the beginning of the camp, they entered one tent, and they ate and drank. And they took from there silver, and gold, and clothing. And they went away and hid it. And they returned again to another tent, and similarly, carrying away from there, they hid it.
Miphah hochu ponbuh sungkhatna alut’un chuleh khat’ah alut’un aneuvin adon’un, sana dangka leh ponho akichom’un akisel’un ahi.
9 Then they said one to another: “We are not doing the right thing. For this is a day of good news. If we remain silent and refuse to report it until morning, we will be charged with a crime. Come, let us go and report it in the court of the king.”
Ajonan amaho akihouvun, “Ibol uhi adih tapoi, tunihi nikhopha khat ahibouve, hichehi eihon mitoh ichankhom lou uhi adihpoi, eihon hitia hi jing geija iche piuva ahileh hamsetna itotei diu ahi. Hijeh chun hung’un eiho cheu hitin lengte khopi sunga miho gahetsah uhite,” akitiuvin ahi.
10 And when they had arrived at the gate of the city, they explained to them, saying: “We went into the camp of the Syrians, and we found no one in that place, except horses and donkeys tied, and the tents still standing.”
Hiti chun amaho acheuvin khopi sunga kelkot ngah ho chu thilsoh ho agahetsah tauvin ahi. “Keiho Syria mite ngahmun na kalut’un ahile koimacha anaum tapon ahi! Sakol hole Sangan ho ana kihen nalaijin, ponbuh ho jong abang bang in ana um’in, mihem koimacha anaum tapon ahi,” atiuve.
11 Therefore, the gatekeepers went and reported it in the palace of the king.
Hichun kelkot ngahho chun khopi sunga mipiho lah’a chun hasap in asamphong tauvin ahi.
12 And he rose up in the night, and he said to his servants: “I tell you what the Syrians have done to us. They know that we are suffering from famine, and therefore they have gone out from the camp, and they lie hidden in the fields, saying: ‘When they will have gone out from the city, we will capture them alive, and then we will be able to enter the city.’”
Lengpa chu jan khangkim in alupna a konin ahung thoudoh in, anoija lamkai pipui ho kom’a chun hitin aseitan ahi, “Keiman thilsoh hohi kahei, Syria mite hin eiho an ngolla ium uhi ahet ahin, hijeh a chu angah mun u adalhah uva gamlah’a gakisel’ah ahiuve. Amaho hin khopi idalhah uva ipotdoh tenguleh eihohi ahinga matna khopi chu lonkhum ding atiu ahi,” ati.
13 But one of his servants responded: “Let us take the five horses that remain in the city (for there were no more amid the entire multitude of Israel, since the rest had been consumed), and sending, we will be able to explore.”
Anoija lamkai holah’a khat chun ahin donbut’in, “Ipi hileh eihon gakholtoh poupou uhite. Sakol athimoh nga hokhu mangchao hitin akholtoh ding sol’u hite. Ijemtia achung'uva thilkhat ahungso tah jongleh, hilai mun ah umjong leu eiho chengto ithikhom thou thoudiu ahin, akhoh dehpoi,” ahin tin ahi.
14 Therefore, they brought two horses. And the king sent them into the camp of the Syrians, saying, “Go, and see.”
Hiti chun sakol kangtalai nichu agongun lengpan Syria sepaite chunga thilsoh chu gakhol toh dingin asol tauvin ahi.
15 And they went away after them, as far as the Jordan. But behold, the entire way was filled with clothing and vessels, which the Syrians had thrown aside when they were disturbed. And the messengers returned and told the king.
Amaho Jordan vadung geijin acheuvin Syria sepaite ponho, manchahho ajamcheh nauva apai thanghou chu aga mu uvin ahung kile un, lengpa kom’a aseitauvin ahi.
16 And the people, going out, pillaged the camp of the Syrians. And one measure of fine wheat flour went for one silver coin, and two measures of barley went for one silver coin, in accord with the word of the Lord.
Hijou chun Samaria khopi miho chu alhaidoh un, Syria te ngahmun chu agachom tauvin ahi. Hiti chun antuitah tah chu atena dim nga chu dangka khat aman’in chuleh sakol chang atena dim som chu dangka khat man’in, Pakaiyin ana tepbang bang chun akijoh tan ahi.
17 Then the king stationed that leader, on whose hand he leaned, at the gate. And the crowd trampled him at the entrance of the gate. And he died, in accord with what the man of God had said when the king had descended to him.
Lengpan a sepai lamkaipa chu kelkot na mipi ting ding chun ana pansah in ahileh mipi hon anolhu uvin, achonlih tauvin ahi. Hiti chun Pathen mipan ain na hung lengpa kom’a ana phondoh tobang bang chun ana sohdoh tan ahi.
18 And this happened in accord with the word of the man of God, which he had spoken to the king, when he said: “Two measures of barley will be one silver coin, and one measure of fine wheat flour will be one silver coin, at this same time tomorrow, at the gate of Samaria.”
Pathen mipan lengpa kom’achun, “Jing nikho tuphat dontah leh antui tah chu atena dim nga chu dangka khatna kicho ding chuleh sakol chang atena dim som chu dangka khatna kicho ding,” anati ahi.
19 Then that leader had responded to the man of God, and he had said, “Even if the Lord will open the floodgates of heaven, how can what you say possibly happen?” And he said to him, “You will see it with your own eyes, and you will not eat from it.”
Hiche pet tah’a chu lengpa noija sepai lamkai pachun, “Pakaiyin vanna van bangkot jouse ahon lhahding hijongleh hithei ponte ana tin,” ahileh, Pathen mipachun, “Nangin thilsoh chu na mittah a namu ding ama vang naneh mantah louding ahi,” ana tipeh chu,
20 Therefore, it happened to him just as it had been predicted. For the people trampled him at the gate, and he died.
Alollhina anahitai, ajeh chu mipihon amachu kotphung ah chun ana chonlih tauvin ahi.
