1 Kings 20
1 And Benadad, king of Syria, gathered together all his host, and there were two and thirty kings with him, and horses, and chariots: and going up, he fought against Samaria, and besieged it.
Syria siangpahrang Ben-Hadad mah angmah ih misatuh kaminawk to pakhueng boih; siangpahrang quithum hnetto, hrangnawk, hrang lakoknawk hoiah misatuk hanah caeh tahang moe, Samaria to takui khoep, to pacoengah a tuk.
2 And, sending messengers to Achab king of Israel into the city,
Anih mah laicaehnawk to vangpui thungah, Israel siangpahrang Ahab khaeah patoeh moe, anih khaeah, Ben-Hadad mah,
3 He said: Thus saith Benadad: Thy silver, and thy gold is mine: and thy wives, and thy goodliest children are mine.
nang ih sui hoi phoisanawk loe kai ih ni; ka hoih koek na zunawk hoi na caanawk doeh kai ih boeh ni, tiah a thuih, tiah a naa.
4 And the king of Israel answered: According to thy word, my lord O king, I am thine, and all that I have.
Israel siangpahrang mah, Aw siangpahrang, ka angraeng, na thuih ih lok baktih toengah, kaimah hoi ka tawnh ih hmuennawk boih loe nang ih ni, tiah a naa.
5 And the messengers came again, and said: Thus saith Benadad, who sent us unto thee: Thy silver, and thy gold, and thy wives, and thy children thou shalt deliver up to me.
Laicaehnawk angzoh o let moe, Ben-Hadad mah, Nang ih sui hoi phoisanawk, na zu hoi na caanawk to nang paek hanah kami kang patoeh,
6 Tomorrow therefore at this same hour I will send my servants to thee, and they shall search thy house, and the houses of thy servants: and all that pleaseth them, they shall put in their hands, and take away.
toe khawnbang vaihi tue thuem ah, ka tamnanawk kang patoeh han, nihcae mah na im hoi na tamnanawk ohhaih im to pakrong o tih, nihcae mah koeh ih atho kana hmuennawk to la o boih ueloe, phaw o tih, tiah a thuih, tiah a naa o.
7 And the king of Israel called all the ancients of the land, and said: Mark, and see that he layeth snares for us. For he sent to me for my wives, and for my children, and for my silver and gold: and I said not nay.
To naah Israel siangpahrang mah a prae thung ih kacoehtanawk boih to kawk moe, nihcae khaeah, Khen oh, hae kami loe kawkrukmaw raihaih pakrong; ka zu hoi ka caanawk, ka sui hoi phoisanawk to lak hanah kami patoeh naah, ka kaang pae ai, tiah a naa.
8 And all the ancients, and all the people said to him: Hearken not to him, nor consent to him.
Kacoehtanawk hoi kaminawk boih mah, a lok tahngai pae hmah loe, a hnik ih hmuen doeh poek hmah, tiah a naa o.
9 Wherefore he answered the messengers of Benadad: Tell my lord the king: All that thou didst send for to me thy servant at first, I will do: but this thing I cannot do.
To pongah anih mah Ben-Hadad ih laicaehnawk khaeah, Ka angraeng siangpahrang khaeah hae tiah thui pae oh; na tamna patoeh moe, hnik hmaloe ih hmuen to ka sak han, toe hae hmuen loe ka sah mak ai, tiah a thuih, tiah thui paeh, tiah a naa. Laicaehnawk loe amlaem o moe, Ben-Hadad khaeah lok to sin pae o.
10 And the messengers returning brought him word. And he sent again and said: Such and such things may the gods do to me, and more may they add, if the dust of Samaria shall suffice for handfuls for all the people that follow me.
Ben-Hadad mah Ahab khaeah laicaeh kalah maeto patoeh let, Samaria to ka phraek han, to ih maiphu to ka hnukbang kaminawk boih mah, ban tamsum to sin o han ih mataeng doeh khawt mak ai, to tiah ka sah ai nahaeloe sithawnawk mah to pongah kanung aep ah ka nuiah sah nasoe, tiah a naa.
11 And the king of Israel answering, said: Tell him: Let not the girded boast himself as the ungirded.
Israel siangpahrang mah, Maiphaw maica hoi amthoep kami loe, maiphaw maica angkringh kami baktiah amoek han om ai, tiah thuih paeh, tiah a naa.
12 And it came to pass, when Benadad heard this word, that he and the kings were drinking in pavilions, and he said to his servants: Beset the city. And they beset it.
To lok to imthung ah Ben-Hadad hoi nawnto mu kanae, angmah ih angraengnawk mah thaih o naah, a tamnanawk khaeah, Misatuk hanah amsak oh, tiah a naa. To pongah nihcae mah vangpui to tuk hanah amsak o.
13 And behold a prophet coming to Achab king of Israel, said to him: Thus saith the Lord: Hast thou seen all this exceeding great multitude, behold I will deliver them into thy hand this day: that thou mayest know that I am the Lord.
Khenah, Israel siangpahrang Ahab khaeah tahmaa maeto angzoh moe, Angraeng mah, Pop parai hae misatuh kaminawk hae na hnuk maw? Khenah, vaihniah hae kaminawk hae na ban ah kang paek han, to tiah ni kai loe Angraeng ni, tiah nang panoek o tih, tiah a thuih, tiah a naa.
14 And Achab said: By whom? And he said to him: Thus saith the Lord: By the servants of the princes of the provinces. And he said: Who shall begin to fight? And he said: Thou.
Ahab mah, Mi khaeah maw paek tih? tiah a naa. Anih mah, prae ahap ukkungnawk hoi thendoengnawk khaeah paek tih, tiah Angraeng mah thuih, tiah a naa. Mi mah maw misatuk han lokpaek tih? tiah a dueng let bae. Tahmaa mah, Nang mah na paek tih, tiah a naa.
15 So he mustered the servants of the princes of the provinces, and he found the number of two hundred and thirty-two: and he mustered after them the people, all the children of Israel, seven thousand:
To pongah prae ukkung angraengnawk hoi thendoengnawk to Ahab mah kawk, kami cumvai hnet, quithumto pacoeng, hnetto angzoh o; nihcae pacoengah Israel kaminawk boih to pakoep o naah, kami sang sarihto phak.
16 And they went out at noon. But Benadad was drinking himself drunk in his pavilion, and the two and thirty kings with him, who were come to help him.
Nihcae loe athun ah caeh o; Ben-Hadad hoi angmah bomkung siangpahrang quithumto pacoeng, hnettonawk loe angmacae iihhaih im ah mu paquih o.
17 And the servants of the princes of the provinces went out first. And Benadad sent. And they told him, saying: There are men come out of Samaria.
Prae ukkung angraengnawk hoi thendoengnawk to hmaloe ah caeh o. Ben-Hadad mah patoeh ih kaminawk mah anih khaeah, Samaria vangpui hoiah kaminawk angzoh o, tiah a naa o.
18 And he said: Whether they come for peace, take them alive: or whether they come to fight, take them alive.
Anih mah, Angdaehhaih sak hanah angzo o cadoeh, kahing ah angzo o haih loe, misatuk han angzo o cadoeh, kahing ah angzo o haih ah, tiah a naa.
19 So the servants of the princes of the provinces went out, and the rest of the army followed:
Prae ukkung angraengnawk hoi thendoengnawk loe vangpui thung hoiah tacawt o, misatuh kaminawk loe nihcae hnukah bang o.
20 And every one slew the man that came against him: and the Syrians fled, and Israel pursued after them. And Benadad king of Syria fled away on horseback with his horsemen.
Nihcae mah angmacae ih misanawk to hum o boih pongah, Syria kaminawk loe cawnh o; Israel kaminawk mah nihcae to patom o. Toe Syria siangpahrang Ben-Hadad loe hrang angthueng misatuh kaminawk hoi nawnto cawnh pongah, a loih.
21 But the king of Israel going out overthrew the horses and chariots, and slew the Syrians with a great slaughter.
Israel siangpahrang loe hmabangah tacawt moe, hrangnawk hoi hrang lakoknawk to paro pae pacoengah, paroeai Syria kaminawk to hum.
22 (And a prophet coming to the king of Israel, said to him: Go, and strengthen thyself, and know, and see what thou dost: for the next year the king of Syria will come up against thee.)
Tahmaa loe Israel siangpahrang khaeah angzoh moe, anih khaeah, Na thacaksak loe, kawbangmaw ka sak han, tiah poek het ah; Syria siangpahrang loe nang tuk hanah hmabang saning ah angzo let tih, tiah a naa.
23 But the servants of the king of Syria said to him: Their gods are gods of the hills, therefore they have overcome us: but it is better that we should fight against them in the plains, and we shall overcome them.
Syria siangpahrang ih tamnanawk mah anih hanah, nihcae ih sithawnawk loe mae ukkung sithaw ah oh o; to pong ni aicae pongah thacak o; toe nihcae to azawn ah tuh o si, to tiah nahaeloe nihcae pongah tha a cak o kue tih, tiah poekhaih kahoih to paek o.
24 Do thou therefore this thing: Remove all the kings from thy army, and put captains in their stead:
Hae hmuen hae sah ah; siangpahrangnawk boih to takhoe ah loe, nihcae zuengah misatuh angraengnawk to suem ah.
25 And make up the number of soldiers that have been slain of thine, and horses according to the former horses, and chariots according to the chariots which thou hadst before: and we will fight against them in the plains, and thou shalt see that we shall overcome them. He believed their counsel and did so.
Canghniah misa sung kami hoi hrang lakok angthueng misatuh kaminawk to kroek ah; to tiah ni Israel kaminawk to azawn ah a tuh o thaih ueloe, nihcae pongah tha a cak o kue tih, tiah a naa o. Nihcae mah thuih ih lok to anih mah tahngaih pae.
26 Wherefore at the return of the year, Benadad mustered the Syrians, ancient up to Aphec, to fight against Israel.
Hmabang saning phak let naah loe, Ben-Hadad mah Syria kaminawk to kok moe, Israel caanawk tuk hanah Aphek vangpui ah caeh o tahang.
27 And the children of Israel were mustered, and taking victuals went out on the other side, and camped over against them, like two little hocks of goats: but the Syrians filled the land.
Israel kaminawk mah doeh kami to kok o moe, caaknaek paroep o pacoengah, misatuk hanah caeh o toeng; Syria kaminawk loe prae boih ah koi o; Israel kaminawk loe nihcae hmaa ah tetta maeh caa hnetto baktiah ni oh o.
28 (And a man of God coming, said to the king of Israel: Thus saith the Lord: Because the Syrians have said: The Lord is God of the hills, but is not God of the valleys: I will deliver all this great multitude into thy hand, and you shall know that I am the Lord.)
To naah Sithaw ih kami to angzoh moe, Israel siangpahrang khaeah, Angraeng mah, Syria kaminawk mah, Angraeng loe mae ukkung Sithaw ah poek o; azawn ukkung Sithaw ah poek o ai pongah, pop parai hae misatuh kaminawk hae na ban ah kang paek han, to naah kai loe Angraeng ni, tiah nang panoek o tih, tiah a thuih, tiah a naa.
29 And both sides set their armies in array one against the other seven days, and on the seventh day the battle was fought: and the children of Israel slew of the Syrians a hundred thousand footmen in one day.
Nihcae loe ni sarihto thung mikhmai kangtongh ah hae bang ahmuen hoi ho bang ahmuen ah atai o; ni sarihto naah misatuk amtong o; Israel kaminawk mah nito thungah, khok hoi misatuh Syria kami sang cumvaito hum o.
30 And they that remained fled to Aphec, into the city: and the wall fell upon seven and twenty thousand men, that were left. And Benadad fleeing went into the city, into a chamber that was within a chamber.
Kaom kanghmatnawk loe, Aphek vangpui ah cawnh o; to naah vangpui sipae to tanimh moe, kami sang pumphae sarihto taeh moe, duek o; Ben-Hadad loe vangpui thungah cawnh moe, imthung ah anghawk.
31 And his servants said to him: Behold, we have heard that the kings of the house of Israel are merciful: so let us put sackcloth on our loins, and ropes on our heads, and go out to the king of Israel: perhaps he will save our lives.
Angmah ih tamnanawk mah anih khaeah, Khenah, Israel imthung takoh siangpahrangnawk loe kami tahmenhaih palungthin tawnh o, tiah ka thaih o; to pongah kazii angzaeng si loe, lu to qui hoiah zaeng pacoengah, Israel siangpahrang khaeah caeh o si; to tiah nahaeloe na hinghaih pahlong khoe doeh om tih, tiah a naa o.
32 So they girded sackcloth on their loins, and put ropes on their heads, and came to the king of Israel, and said to him: Thy servant Benadad saith: I beseech thee let me have my life. And he said: If he be yet alive he is my brother.
To pongah nihcae mah kazii to angzaeng o moe, lu to qui hoiah zaeng o pacoengah, Israel siangpahrang khaeah caeh o moe, Na tamna Ben-Hadad mah, Ka hinghaih pahlung raeh nasoe, tiah a thuih, tiah a naa o. Siangpahrang mah, Anih loe hing vop maw? Anih loe kai ih amnawk ni, tiah a naa.
33 The men took this for a sign: and in haste caught the word out of his mouth, and said: Thy brother Benadad. And he said to them: Go, and bring him to me. Then Benadad came out to him, and he lifted him up into his chariot.
To kaminawk loe siangpahrang Ahab mah thuih ih lok to kahoih ah poek o moe, a thuikoehhaih lok to karangah naeh pae o; ue, namnawk Ben-Hadad loe hing vop, tiah a naa o. Siangpahrang mah, Caeh oh loe, anih to hoi oh, tiah a naa. Ben-Hadad anih khaeah angzoh naah, Ahab mah angmah ih hrang lakok pongah lak tahang.
34 And he said to him: The cities which my father took from thy father, I will restore: and do thou make thee streets in Damascus, as my father made in Samaria, and having made a league I will depart from thee. So he made a league with him, and let him go.
Ben-Hadad mah anih khaeah, Kampa mah nampa khae hoiah lak ih vangpuinawk to kang paek let han; kampa mah Samaria vangpui ah sak ih baktih toengah, Damaska vangpui ah nangmah hanah hmuenmae zawhhaih to sah ah, tiah a naa. Ahab mah, Angdaehhaih lok na thuih pongah kang loisak han, tiah a naa. To pongah anih hoi lokkamhaih sak pacoengah, anih to caehsak.
35 Then a certain man of the sons of the prophets said to his companion in the word of the Lord: Strike me. But he would not strike.
Angraeng mah paek ih lok hoiah tahmaa capa maeto mah angmah ih imtaeng kami maeto khaeah, Kai hae na takroek ah, tiah a naa. Toe to kami mah angmak pae.
36 Then he said to him: Because thou wouldst not hearken to the word of the Lord, behold then shalt depart from me, and a lion shall slay thee. And when he was gone a little from him, a lion found him, and slew him.
To pacoengah tahmaa mah to kami khaeah, Angraeng ih lok na tahngai ai pongah, ka hmaa hoi na tacawt pacoengah, kaipui mah na kaek tih, tiah a naa. To kami tacawt pacoeng, akra ai ah kaipui mah anih to hnuk naah, anih to kaek maat.
37 Then he found another man, and said to him: Strike me. And he struck him, and wounded him.
Tahmaa mah kalah kami maeto hnuk let naah anih khaeah, Kai hae na hum ah tiah a naa let bae; to pongah to kami mah anih to takroek moe, ahma caak.
38 So the prophet went, and met the king in the way, and disguised himself by sprinkling dust on his face and his eyes.
To pacoengah tahmaa loe caeh moe, siangpahrang to loklam ah zing; a mikhmai to pala hoiah khuk khoep moe, minawk kalah baktiah angsak.
39 And as the king passed by, he cried to the king, and said: Thy servant went out to fight hand to hand: and when a certain man was run away, one brought him to me, and said: Keep this man: and if he shall slip away, thy life shall be for his life, or thou shalt pay a talent of silver.
Siangpahrang anih taengah phak naah tahmaa mah, Na tamna loe misa angtukhaih ahmuen ah caeh; misa angtukhaih ahmuen hoiah angzo kami maeto mah, a naeh ih kami maeto kai khaeah ang hoih; Hae kami hae kahoih ah toep ah; anih hae nang hmatsak ving nahaeloe, anih hinghaih zuengah na hinghaih to anghma tih, to tih ai boeh loe phoisa talent maeto paek han angaih, tiah ang naa.
40 And whilst I in a hurry turned this way and that, on a sudden he was not to be seen. And the king of Israel said to him: This is thy judgment, which thyself hast decreed.
Toe na tamna loe hae bangah ho bangah tok ka sak moe, kong ai pongah, naeh ih kami to anghmat ving, tiah a naa. To naah Israel siangpahrang mah, anih khaeah, Na thuih ih lok baktiah, na nuiah lokcaekhaih om tih, tiah a naa.
41 But he forthwith wiped off the dust from his face, and the king of Israel knew him, that he was one of the prophets.
Tahmaa mah mik zaenghaih pala to karangah khok naah, Israel siangpahrang mah anih loe tahmaa maeto ni, tiah panoek.
42 And he said to him: Thus saith the Lord: Because thou hast let go out of thy hand a mall worthy of death, thy life shall be for his life, and thy people for his people.
To naah tahmaa mah siangpahrang khaeah, Angraeng mah, Kai mah paduek han ka suek ih kami to na loisak; to pongah anih hinghaih zuengah na hinghaih mah zok ueloe, anih ih kaminawk mah tongh zuengah, nang ih kaminawk mah tongh o tih, tiah a thuih, tiah a naa.
43 And the king of Israel returned to his house, slighting to hear, and raging came into Samaria.
To naah Israel siangpaharng loe mawnhaih hoi palungboenghaih hoiah Samaria vangpui ih siangpahrang im ah caeh.
