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.
Hiche phatlai sung hin, Syria lengpa Benhadad in asepaite jouse akomin chuleh leng somthum le nin asakol holeh akangtalai jouse pumin apanhun, hiti hin Benhadad chu Samaria sat din akitol’un, Israelte khopi kulpi Samaria chu aum uvin gal in anokhum tauvin ahi.
2 And, sending messengers to Achab king of Israel into the city,
Benhadad in Israel lengpa Ahab hengah mi asollin, thu ana thot in, “Hiche Benhadad kiti pan kasei ahi,
3 He said: Thus saith Benadad: Thy silver, and thy gold is mine: and thy wives, and thy goodliest children are mine.
Na insunga na sana leh na dangka chuleh najite le nachate apha lai chengse chu keiya hidiu ahitai,” agatisah tai.
4 And the king of Israel answered: According to thy word, my lord O king, I am thine, and all that I have.
Chunin Israel lengpan adonbut in, “Kapu lengpan nasei ho chu adih soh keije kanei jouse hi nanga ahi,” ati.
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.
Benhadad in gangtah in adonbutna thu chu athot kit in, “Hiche Benhadad keima thuthot ahi, na sana leh na dangka chu leh naji na chate neipeh ding ahi tia, thu kapehsa nahitai.
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.
Ahinlah, jing nikho tuphat tah leh, naleng inpi le navaipote in jouse khol’a thil manlua agel jouseu kilah dia kavaipote kahinsol ding ahi,” agatisah kit in ahi.
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.
Hiche jou chun Ahab in agamsung upa chingthei ho jouse akhomin, amaho koma chun, “Veuvin hichepa hin eisuboi lheh jeng un ahi! Aman aki ngeh bangin keiman ka sana leh ka dangka chu leh kaji ka chate chu kana phalpeh tan ahi,” ati.
8 And all the ancients, and all the people said to him: Hearken not to him, nor consent to him.
Amipite leh upa chingthei ho chun, “Hiche kal val chun imacha phalpeh tahih in,” atipeh un ahi.
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.
Hichun Ahab in Benhadad sottol le ho koma chun, “Kapu lengpa koma chun hiti hin seipeh tauvin, amasa’a nathil ngeh ho chu ka phalpeh jeng e, ahinlah tua achaina’a nathil ngeh hovang hi kasang theipoi,” ati. Hiti chun sottole ho chun hiche thu chu apo uvin Benhadad hengah akile tauvin ahi.
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.
Hichun Benhadad in Ahab chu hiti hin thu athot kit’e, “Keiman na khopi Samaria hi vogoihel’a ahalsi sia khut’a choidoh kham mihem kahin puilut ding kasuhmang ding ahi. Hichu kaboldoh lou le ka hou pathenten eithat jeng hen!” ati.
11 And the king of Israel answering, said: Tell him: Let not the girded boast himself as the ungirded.
Israel lengpa Ahab in ahin donbut in, “Galmun’a galsat dia sepai khat in a chemjam akipoh nung’a, galsat chaisa ho ham hoithoa thucheng chu bol ngai ahipoi, tin seipeh un,” ati.
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.
Benhadad leh apanpi leng dangho toh, ponbuh sunga ju ana donlai tah'un, Ahab donbutna thucheng chu aja tauvin ahi. Hichun Benhadad chun asepaite kom’ah galsat din kigo uvintin thu ape tan ahi. Hijeh chun khopi chu nokhum dingin akigo tauvin ahi.
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.
Hiche kah lah chun, themgao khat Israel lengpa Ahab kimupi din achen, “Pakaiyin hiti hin thu aseiye, ‘Hiche galmi hon tamtah hokhu numu am? Tunia amaho khu nangma khutna ka pehdoh ding chule galjona na nei ding ahi. Hiteng chuleh nangman keima hi Pakai kitipa chu kahi nei hetdoh ding ahi,” ati.
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.
Hichun Ahab in, “Ipiti ahinbol ding ham?” tin adong in ahi. Chuin themgaopa chun ahin donbut in, “Gambih vaipo ho noija khangthah hon abol diu ahi,” atin ahile, Ahab in, “Keihon kasat masat diu ham?” tin adongkit in ahile, thempupan, “Henge nanghon nasat masat diu ahi,” ati
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:
Hichun Ahab in gambih vaipo ho chu asimtoh leh, mi jani le somthum le ni ahiuvin ahi. Chujouvin Israel sepai jouse chu asimtoh leh sang sagi alhing in ahi.
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.
Sunkim dontah chun, Benhadad leh aki loipi Leng som le ni hochun aponbuh sung uvah ju anadon khom’un ahi.
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.
Hichun gambih lamkaiho chu khopi sunga kon chun ahung kitoldoh masapen un ahileh, Benhadad sepai ho chun akom a Samaria konin sepai phabep ahung kitol doh uve atin ahileh,
18 And he said: Whether they come for peace, take them alive: or whether they come to fight, take them alive.
Benhadad in, “Amaho chu chamna a hung hiu hen lang, galsat dinga hung hi jong leu ahing in man poupouvin,” ati.
19 So the servants of the princes of the provinces went out, and the rest of the army followed:
Ahinlah sepaite apumpi ahin, gambih lamkaiho ahin, abon’un galsat dingin ahung kondoh tauvin ahi.
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.
Israel sepaite chun Syria sepai akimaitopi cheh u athat’un ahile, Syria sepaiho chu ati’u ajan, ajam mang gam tauvin ahi. Hichun Israelten anungdel’un ahileh Benhadad lengpa leh sakol kangtalaiya touthem phabep chu anajam doh man’un ahi.
21 But the king of Israel going out overthrew the horses and chariots, and slew the Syrians with a great slaughter.
Ahiyeng vang'in, Israel lengpa chun Syria sakol dang holeh sakol kangtalai ho chu ana ban suhmang peh tan ahi.
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.)
Phat chomkhat jouvin themgaopa chun, Ahab Lengpa kom ah, “Na hung nokhum kit di’u ahin kigingphan, Syria lengpa chun khovei chavang phatleh hung kit ding ahi hijeh chun thilho kigontoh in,” ati.
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.
Agal-lal jou nung in, agal lamkai hon Benhadad jah’a, “Israelte Pathen hi thinglhang gam Pathen ahiuve, hijeh achu thinglhanga eijo’u ahi. Phaicham a kisatpi leuhen bailamtah a gal ijo jeng diu ahi,” atiuve.
24 Do thou therefore this thing: Remove all the kings from thy army, and put captains in their stead:
“Hiche chung’a a bou hin leng ho athunei nauva konin haisah in lang, akhel in sepai lamkai ho pansah in,” atiuve.
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.
“Sepai alhasam jat hi subulhing kit’in, sepaite sakol leh kangtalai te atil ajat maman subulhing kit in, chuteng leh phaicham ah kisatpi leu veng kajo teidiu ahi,” atiuve. Hitichun Benhadad in jong angaichat bang’un abolpeh soh tan ahi.
26 Wherefore at the return of the year, Benadad mustered the Syrians, ancient up to Aphec, to fight against Israel.
A kumkit chavang lai ahiphat in, Syria sepaite asemtoh sohkeiyin Israelte kisatpi dingin tuchung hin Aphek lang jon tauvin ahi.
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.
Isrtaelte jong aki semtoh un, neh leh chah jong hoitah’in akigon toh’un, galsat dingin ahung kitol tauve in ahi. Ahinlah Israel sepaite alhomdan uchu, kelcha hon lhomcha ni kijotna toh abang un ahi. Syria sepaite vang chu gamsung pumpi adim lha jeng un ahi.
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.)
Hichun Pathen mipa chun Israel lengpa kom’ah achen, “Pakaiyin hiti hin aseiye, Syria sepaiten hiti hin aseiyun ahi, a Pakai’u khu thinglhang Pathen ahin, phaicham Pathen ahipoi. Hijeh chun hiche sepai tamtah tehi kajopeh diu ahi, chutengleh nang hon Pakai kahi chu nei het doh dio ahi,” ati.
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.
Hiche galmi teni hin nisagi sungin kimai ngat ton ngahmun akisem’un, anaum un ahi. Ni sagi lhin nin akisat to pan tauvin ahi. Israelten nikhat sungin Syriate keng sepai hochu sang jakhat anathat’un ahi.
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.
Adangse chu Aphek khopi sung’ah ajamlut un ahi, ahin akulpi pal’u chu ahin chimkhum un ahile, mi sang somni le sagi jen athiuvin ahi. Benhadad chu khopi sung’a ajam lut’in, indan sung nung khat’ah akisel tan ahi.
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.
Benhadad sepai lamkai hon akom’ah, “Hepu Israel lengte hi mikhoto athem un ahi, hijeh chun eihon khaodip pon i-taibuh uva kiveiju hitin, i-luchang uva khaohol kiveiju hitin chuteng leh Israel lengpa henga chun, ga lut jeng tem uhite, ajeh chu ama khun na hinghoi jeng maithei ahi,” atiuve.
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.
Hijeh chun amahon ataibuh dung’uva khaodip pon akiveijun, aluchung uva khaohol aki khu uvin, Israel lengpa henga chun acheuvin, “Nasohpa Benhadad chun aseijin, na heng’a kahung tao ahi, neihing hoi tei teijin,” atin tin asei tauve. Hichun Ahab chun adong in, “Benhadad chu hing na lai ham? Ama chu ka sopipa ahibouve,” ati tai.
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.
Benhadad sepaiten Ahab’in asei chu thilpha ahi tin akilah un, gantah in, “Henge, na sopipa Benhadad ahi,” atiuvin aban ipi ahinsei em ti angah un ahile, Ahab in amaho jah’a chun, “Cheuvin lang, hinpuidoh un,” ati. Chuin Benhadad ahunglhun phat’in, Ahab in a kangtalai chung’ah akaldoh sah in ahi.
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.
Hichun Benhadad in Ahab jah’a, “Kapan napa akona ana lahpeh khopi ho jouse chu abonchan keiman nangma nale kit tang’e, chule nangman kapa in Samaria khopi sung’a abolna bang bangin nangin jong, Damascus khopi sunga kai-lhang tampi na semdoh thei ahi,” ati. Chuin Ahab in, “Hitobang ding chun kenjong nangma nalha tang’e,” atin ahi. Hiti chun Ahab in Benhadad chutoh kitepna asem tan, ama jong alhadoh tai.
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.
Pakaiyin themgao hon lah’a mikhat chu midang khat kom’ah thu aseisah in, “Nei sat’in,” ati. Ahin mipa chun themngaopa sat ding chun anompoi.
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.
Hichun themgaopan ama komah, “Pakai Pathen thupeh nanit loujeh in, keima neidalhah lhah teng le sakeiyin natha ding ahitai,” ati. Hitichun agah dalhah leh keipi khat in athat tan ahi.
37 Then he found another man, and said to him: Strike me. And he struck him, and wounded him.
Hijouchun themgaopa chun midang chom khat komah, “Nei sat’in,” ati. Hichun themgaopa chu asat in, asattel jeng in ahi.
38 So the prophet went, and met the king in the way, and disguised himself by sprinkling dust on his face and his eyes.
Hichun Themgaopan ponin mai akitom in, limput akhel’in, Israel lengpa hungna ding lampia ana ngah tan ahi.
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.
Lengpan ahung phat in themgaopan ahin kouvin, “Hepu keima gal kiha satna laitah’a chun kana jaovin, phulou helouvin mikhat in gal hing khat ahinkai jin, amapa hi phaten anaching tup’in, itiham khatna na lhaso’a ahileh nathi ding ahilouleh dangka talent khat naleu ding ahi, ahung ti,” tin aseipeh tan ahi.
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.
“Ahinlah keiman thilkhat bolla kakisahlal laitah in, amachu ana jamdoh tan ahi,” ati. Hichun lengpan, “Achutileh nangma thepmo hichula, nangman nachunga thutanna nakiluilut ahitai,” tin adonbut in ahi.
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.
Hichun themgaopa chun amit kitom chu ahin ladoh’in ahileh, lengpan themgao ho lah’a khat ahi tichu ahedoh tan ahi.
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.
Chuin Themgaopa chun, “Pakaiyin hitihin aseiye, keiman na suhmang ding ahi kati pachu nalhaso jeh in tua hi nangma amakhel’a nathi ding ahitai chuleh ama mite khel’a nangma mite thi diu ahitai,” ati.
43 And the king of Israel returned to his house, slighting to hear, and raging came into Samaria.
Hichun Israel lengpa chu lung hangtah leh maithim ketkut in a inlam ajon tan ahi.
