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.
Siria siangpahrang Benhadad ni, a ransanaw pueng a pâkhueng teh, siangpahrang 32 touh ahni koe ao. Marang hoi leng hoi a takhang awh teh, Samaria kho hah a kalup awh teh a tuk awh.
2 And, sending messengers to Achab king of Israel into the city,
Isarel siangpahrang koe khopui thung patounenaw a patoun teh ahni koe Benhadad ni hettelah ati.
3 He said: Thus saith Benadad: Thy silver, and thy gold is mine: and thy wives, and thy goodliest children are mine.
Na tangka hoi sui hateh kaie doeh. Na yuca hoi hnokahawi pueng kaie doeh telah ati.
4 And the king of Israel answered: According to thy word, my lord O king, I am thine, and all that I have.
Isarel siangpahrang ni, oe siangpahrang ka bawipa na dei e patetlah doeh. Kai hoi ka tawn e pueng teh nange doeh telah 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.
A patounenaw ni bout a cei awh teh, Benhadad ni hettelah ati, na tangka hoi sui hoi na yu hoi na canaw hah na poe han telah taminaw bout a patoun.
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.
Hatei, tangtho tuektue nah ka taminaw nang koe ka patoun han, na im hoi na tami hoi, nim hah a tawng awh han. Na mit ni a noe e pueng hah a la awh vaiteh, koung a thokhai awh han telah ati.
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.
Isarel siangpahrang ni a ram dawk e kacuenaw pueng koung a kaw teh, pahren lahoi pâkuem awh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, hete tami ni runae tâcosak hanlah a kâcai. Bangkongtetpawiteh, kai koe tami a patoun teh, ka yu hoi ka ca hoi, ka tangka hoi ka suinaw hah a hei, kangek e hai nahoeh telah ati.
8 And all the ancients, and all the people said to him: Hearken not to him, nor consent to him.
Kacuenaw hoi tamimaya ni ahni koe ahnimae lawk hai banglahai noutna hanh, na lung hai kuepkhai hanh telah atipouh awh.
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.
Hottelah Benhadad ni patounenaw koe siangpahrang ka bawipa koevah, na san koe patounenaw na patoun teh, ahmaloe na hei e pueng heh ka tarawi yawkaw han, hatei hete teh ka tarawi thai mahoeh ati, telah na dei pouh awh han telah ati. Patoun e naw teh a cei awh teh hote lawk hah a dei pouh awh.
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.
Benhadad ni ahni koe tami bout a patoun teh, ka hnukkâbangnaw pueng ni, Samaria khovah, vaiphu kutvang touh rip hmawt thai awh pawiteh, cathutnaw ni a ngai e patetlah na sak na lawiseh, hothlak ka pataw lahoi na sak naseh telah ati.
11 And the king of Israel answering, said: Tell him: Let not the girded boast himself as the ungirded.
Isarel siangpahrang ni, ayâ ni ransa puengcang a kâmahrawk navah, a ransa puengcang ka rading e patetlah kâoup boihoeh telah dei pouh awh telah 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.
Hahoi, ama hoi siangpahrangnaw ni, kâhatnae rim dawk yamu a nei awh lahunnah, hote lawk hah Benhadad ni a thai teh, a taminaw koe kârakueng awh haw, atipouh. Hottelahoi, kho tuk hanelah a kâcai awh.
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.
Hahoi khenhaw! profet buet touh ni Isarel siangpahrang Ahab koe a cei sin teh, BAWIPA ni hettelah a dei. Hete kapap poung e tamihu hah na hmu maw. Khenhaw! sahnin na kut dawk na poe han, hahoi kai teh BAWIPA doeh tie na panue han telah 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.
Ahab ni api hno lahoi maw telah ati, ahni ni BAWIPA ni telah a dei, khobawi a sannaw hah ka hno han telah ati. Ahni ni apinimaw tarantuknae kho a khang han telah ati. Ahni ni nang ni atipouh.
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:
Hottelah ahni ni ram ukkungnaw hoi a sannaw a pâkhueng teh 232 touh a pha.
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.
Kanî tuengtalueng a thun nah a tâco awh teh, hatnavah, Benhadad hoi siangpahrang a ma kabawm hane siangpahrang 32 touh teh, kâhatnae rim dawk yamu a la parui awh.
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.
Hateh, ram ukkung bawi thoundoun hmaloe a tâco. Benhadad ni kâhmo hane a patoun teh, ahni koe Samaria kho hoi tami ka tâcawt e ao telah a dei pouh.
18 And he said: Whether they come for peace, take them alive: or whether they come to fight, take them alive.
Ahni ni roum nahanelah ka tâco e lah awm pawiteh, a hring lahoi man awh. Tarantuk hanelah hoi ka tâcawt hanelah ao haiyah a hring lahoi man awh, telah ati.
19 So the servants of the princes of the provinces went out, and the rest of the army followed:
Hottelah ram ukkung thoundoun hah a hnukkâbang e ransa hoi khopui thung hoi a tâco awh.
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.
Hahoi tami pueng ni amae tami lengkaleng a thei awh. Hottelah Sirianaw a yawng awh teh, Isarelnaw ni a pâlei awh. Siria siangpahrang Benhadad teh, marang a kâcui teh marang kâcuinaw hoi a hlout awh.
21 But the king of Israel going out overthrew the horses and chariots, and slew the Syrians with a great slaughter.
Isarel siangpahrang a tâco teh, marang hoi leng hoi a tuk awh teh, Sirianaw moi a thei awh.
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.)
Hahoi, profet ni Isarel siangpahrang koe a hrawi teh, ahni koe tha kâlat nateh, na sak hane kahawicalah pouk. Bangkongtetpawiteh, kompawi toteh Siria siangpahrang ni bout na tuk awh han, telah atipouh.
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.
Siria siangpahrang e sannaw ni ahni koe, ahnimae cathutnaw teh mon cathutnaw lah ao. Hatdawkvah maimouh hlak a tha ao hnawn awh telah ati awh.
24 Do thou therefore this thing: Remove all the kings from thy army, and put captains in their stead:
Hahoi, hettelah na ti han, siangpahrangnaw hah koung tha nateh, amamae hmuen koe ram ukkung lah hrueng.
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.
Hahoi ransa hoi leng na raphoe e yit touh ransa bout sak. Hottelah tanghling dawk na tuk awh vaiteh, ahnimouh hlak thao awh mingming han doeh telah ati awh. A lawk hah a caksak awh teh, hottelah a sak awh.
26 Wherefore at the return of the year, Benadad mustered the Syrians, ancient up to Aphec, to fight against Israel.
Hahoi, kompawi toteh, hettelah ao. Benhadad ni Sirianaw hah a pâkhueng teh. Isarel tuk hanelah Aphek vah a takhang awh.
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.
Isarel catounnaw teh a kamkhueng awh teh, rawca a rakueng pouh awh teh, tarantuk hanelah a tâco awh. Isarelnaw hmaehu yitca e hu hni touh e patetlah a kangdue sin awh. Sirianaw teh a ram dawk king a kawi awh.
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.)
Hahoi Cathut e tami ni Isarel siangpahrang koe a hnai teh, ahni koe, BAWIPA ni hettelah a dei, Sirianaw ni Jehovah teh mon cathut lah ao teh, tanghling cathut lah awm hoeh ati awh. Hatdawkvah, hete tami moikapap e naw heh na kut dawk na poe han, hottelah hoi kai heh BAWIPA lah ka o tie hah na panue awh han telah 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.
Hnin sari touh thung avoivang lah a tungpup awh. Ahni sari hnin vah a kâtuk awh. Isarelnaw ni Sirianaw hah hnin touh dawk ransa 100, 000 a thei awh.
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.
Alouknaw teh Aphek kho thung vah a yawng awh. Kacawie tami 27, 000 touh teh rapan katim e ni koung a ten. Benhadad teh a yawng teh, khopui dawk imrakhan thung a kâen.
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.
A taminaw ni ahni koe khenhaw! Isarelnaw e imthungnaw thung dawk, Siangpahrang heh pahrennae ka tawn e siangpahrangnaw doeh telah ka panue awh. Burihni kâkhu hoi kaimae lû dawk rui hoi pâkhit nateh, Isarel siangpahrang koe na cetkhai yawkaw. Ama ni na pâhlung yawkaw han doeh telah ati awh.
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.
Hottelah buri hni a kâkhu awh teh, a lû dawk rui hoi a pâkhi awh teh, Isarel siangpahrang koe a cei awh. Na san Benhadad ni pahren lahoi na pâhlung na seh ati telah ati awh. Ahni ni a hring rah maw, ahni teh ka hmaunawngha nahoehmaw, telah ati.
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.
Hotnaw ni pouknae kahawi hoi a lungthung hoi a dei katang e han doeh ati awh teh, na hmaunawngha Benhadad doeh atipouh awh. Ahni ni cet awh nateh, ahni hah thokhai awh atipouh. Hottelah Benhadad teh a tâco teh, ahni koe a cei teh ahni ni leng dawk a kâcui sak.
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.
Benhadad ni ahni koe, apa ni na pa koe kho a la e hah bout na poe han. Hahoi, apa ni Samaria kho hno yonae hmuen a sak e patetlah Damaskas kho vah hno yonae hmuen na sak van han telah ati. Hottelah ahni koe lawkkamnae a sak sak teh a cei sak.
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.
Hahoi Profet capanaw thung hoi tami buet touh ni, BAWIPA e lawk patetlah a hui koe vah, kai na hem haw telah atipouh. Hote tami ni na hem ngai hoeh atipouh.
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.
Hat toteh, ahni koevah, BAWIPA e lawk na tarawi ngaihoeh dawkvah, khenhaw! nang ni na ceitakhai tahma vah, Sendek ni na kei han atipouh e patetlah a cei teh Sendek ni a hmue teh a kei.
37 Then he found another man, and said to him: Strike me. And he struck him, and wounded him.
Hahoi alouke tami bout a hmu teh, kai na hem haw atipouh teh ahni ni a hem.
38 So the prophet went, and met the king in the way, and disguised himself by sprinkling dust on his face and his eyes.
Hahoi profet teh a cei teh, lam vah siangpahrang a pawp, a tampa dawk a yeng e hoi mit a huem teh, a phunloukcalah a kâsak.
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 a tho toteh siangpahrang a kaw teh, na sanpa heh tarankâtuknae hmuen lungui vah ka cei teh, khenhaw! tami buet touh ni kai koe tami buet touh a thokhai. Hete tami heh kahawicalah ring, yawng payon pawiteh, a hringnae yueng lah na hringnae ka hma han, hoehpawiteh, tangka talen buet touh na poe han telah ati.
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.
Na sanpa heh puenghoi ka rucat dawkvah, ka yawng takhai telah ati. Isarel siangpahrang ni nang nama ni lawk na tâtueng e patetlah na lathueng vah lawkcengnae ka phat e doeh telah atipouh.
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.
Ahni ni minhmai huemnae hah a rading teh, Isarel siangpahrang ni profet buet touh doeh tie hah a panue.
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.
Profet ni ahni koevah, BAWIPA ni hettelah a dei, thoe ka bo e tami na hlout sak dawkvah, ahnie hringnae yueng lah nange hringnae, ahnie taminaw yueng lah nange taminaw na sung sak han telah ati.
43 And the king of Israel returned to his house, slighting to hear, and raging came into Samaria.
Hahoi Isarel siangpahrang teh minhmai mathoe lungmathoe laihoi a ban teh Samaria kho a pha.
