< 2 Kings 6 >

1 And the sons of the prophets said to Eliseus: Behold the place where we dwell with thee is too strait for us.
Nikhat hi themgao honkhat Elisha kom’a ahung nguvin hitin aseijuve, “Nangman nahet ma bang hin nangtoh ikimu to nao mun hi aneobehseh jenge.
2 Let us go as far as the Jordan and take out of the wood every man a piece of timber, that we may build us there a place to dwell in. And he said: Go.
Jordan vadung langa chesuh uhitin thing gatan uhitin ikikhop khom nadiu munthah khat kisah dohu hite,” ahung tiuve. Hichun aman adonbut in, “Aphai, naseibangun bol hite,” ati.
3 And one of them said: But come thou also with thy servants. He answered: I will come.
Amaho lah’a khat in atem’un, “Neihung kilhonpiuvin,” ati. Aman jong, “Hung nange,” atin ahi.
4 So he went with them. And when they were come to the Jordan they cut down wood.
Hichun Elisha jong amaho chutoh akilhon tauvin ahi. Jordan aga lhun phat’un, amahon thing akitan tauvin ahi.
5 And it happened, as one was felling some timber, that the head of the axe fell into the water: and he cried out, and said: Alas, alas, alas, my lord, for this same was borrowed.
Ahin amaholah’a khat chun thing akitan pet’un aheichang chu vadunga alhahsah tan ahi. Ama jong ahung apeng jah jengin, “Vo hepu, hiche heicha chu mi’a bat ding’a kahin lah ahi,” ati.
6 And the man of God said: Where did it fall? and he shewed him the place. Then he cut off a piece of wood, and cast it in thither: and the iron swam.
Pathen mipan ahin seijin, “Hoilai donna nalhah ham?” ati. Aman jong amun avetsah phat chun Elisha’n molkhat alan amun laitah’a chu agakholut’a ahileh heichang chu twichungah ahung kiletdohtan ahi.
7 And he said: Take it up. And he put out his hand and took it.
Hichun Elisha’n, “Kilah in,” ati, hichun mipan agahsangin akimat tan ahi.
8 And the king of Syria warred against Israel, and took counsel with his servants, saying: In such and such a place let us lay ambushes.
Syria lengpa chu Israelte toh akisatto laitah chun, aman asepai lamkaite toh akihoutoh un hitin asei uve, “Eihon isepaiteu chu hilai mun khat’a ngahmun kisem ute akitiuve.”
9 And the man of God sent to the king of Israel, saying: Beware that thou pass not to such a place: for the Syrians are there in ambush.
Ahinlah apettah chun Pathen mipa Elisha’n gangtah in Israel lengpa ana gah hilchah in, “Hichelai munna chun che hih un ajeh chu Syria ten asepaiteu chu hilai munna chu changpang a ana umdiu ahi,” atipeh tan ahi.
10 And the king of Israel sent to the place which the man of God had told him, and prevented him, and looked well to himself there not once nor twice.
Hiti chun Israel lengpan Pathen mipan aseipehna mun mun’a chun asepaite asolji ahi. Kiging jing’a aum jing thei nading un, phatseh in Elisha’n Israel lengpa chu aseipeh jingin chule ana hilchah jing in ahi.
11 And the heart of the king of Syria was troubled for this thing. And calling together his servants, he said: Why do you not tell me who it is that betrays me to the king of Israel?
Syria lenpa chu hiche chungchang’a hin, alung ahang lheh jengtan, hijehchun aman anoija lamkai pipu hochu akoukhom’in hiti hin aseitan, “Koipen hi galmi langa pang naum uham? Koipen hin Israel lengpa hi kei tohgon ana seipeh jiuham?” ati.
12 And one of his servants said: No one, my lord O king: but Eliseus the prophet, that is in Israel, telleth the king of Israel all the words, that thou speakest in thy privy chamber.
Hichun anoija lamkai pipuho khat’in ahin donbut’in, “Hepu lengpa keiho kahipouve, Israel te lah’a hin Elisha kiti themgao khat aumin, amahin lengpahi ijakai aseipehji ahi. Amahin nachanga najal khunna naumpetna na thusei jouse jong hi ahet ahi,” atipeh tan ahi.
13 And he said to them: Go, and see where he is: that I may send, and take him. And they told him, saying: Behold he is in Dothan.
Hichun lengpan thu ahin pen, “Cheuvinlang amachu hoiya um’aham, gahe chen’unlang keiman ama manding chu kasepaite kasolding ahi,” ati. Hiti chun amahon jong agahetoh un, “Amahi Dothan na aume,” tin ahung seipeh tauvin ahi.
14 Therefore he sent thither horses and chariots, and the strength of an army: and they came by night, and beset the city.
Hichun Syria lengpan hiche khopi sung umding’in sepai tamtah leh sakol kangtalai tamtah asoltan ahi.
15 And the servant of the man of God rising early, went out, and saw an army round about the city, and horses and chariots: and he told him, saying: Alas, alas, alas, my lord, what shall we do?
Pathen mipa sohpa chu jingpitah in ahung thouvin, pam lang agapotdoh leh sepai tamtah leh sakol kangtalai tamtah muntin’ah amutan ahileh, Elisha kom’a chun, “O hepu i-itiding hitam?” tin apeng jah jingin ahi.
16 But he answered: Fear not: for there are more with us than with them.
Elisha’n ama kom’ah, “Kicha hihin, amaho sangin eini panpiho atamjouve,” ati.
17 And Eliseus prayed, and said: Lord, open his eyes, 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 round about Eliseus.
Hijou chun Elisha jong atauvin, “O Pakai, amit hin hadohsah in lang, hin muchetsah tan,” tin atauvin ahileh, Pakaiyin gollhangpa mitchu ahadohsahtan ahileh Elisha vella molpang hochu sakolte le akangtalai ho meikongin atom anadimset in ahi.
18 And the enemies came down to him, but Eliseus prayed to the Lord, saying: Strike, I beseech thee, this people with blindness. And the Lord struck them with blindness, according to the word of Eliseus.
Syria sepaite chu Elisha manding’a ahungsuh phat uchun, Elisha atauvin, “O Pakai amaho hi amit’u suhchot pehtan,” atin ahileh Elisha’n angeh bang bangin Pakaiyin amit’u asuhchot pehtan ahi.
19 And Eliseus said to them: This is not the way, neither is this the city: follow me, and I will shew you the man whom you seek. So he led them into Samaria.
Hichun Elisha apotdoh in amaho kom’a chun, “Nahung naohi adihtapoi hichehi nahollu khopi chu ahipoi, neihinjui jun, keiman nahol nao kom’a chun napuilut nao vinge” ati. Hiti chun amaho chu Samaria khopia chun apuilut tan ahi.
20 And when they were come into Samaria, Eliseus said: Lord, open the eyes of these men, that they may see. And the Lord opened their eyes, and they saw themselves to be in the midst of Samaria.
Samaria khopi chu alhunphat’un, Elisha atauvin, “O Pakai tun amit’u hasah kit’in lang kho musah tan,” ati. Hiti chun Pakaiyin amit’u ahasah in ahileh amaho Samaria khopi alailunga um ahiu akimudoh tauvin ahi.
21 And the king of Israel said to Eliseus, when he saw them: My father, shall I kill them?
Israel lengpan amaho chu amudoh phat’in Elisha kom’a chun ahin samjah jingin, “Hepa hiche hohi katha gamding hitam? Kathagam ding hitam?” ahintin ahi.
22 And he said: Thou shalt not kill them: for thou didst not take them with thy sword, or thy bow, that thou mayst kill them: but set bread and water before them, that they may eat and drink, and go to their master.
Elisha’n ahin donbut’in, “Nathathei louding ahi! Gal-hing’a kiman hohi kithatji ngai em? Anehdiu le adondiu joh pen lang apu kom langa le sultan,” ati.
23 And a great provision of meats was set before them, and they ate and drank, and he let them go, and they went away to their master, and the robbers of Syria came no more into the land of Israel.
Hiti chun lengpan ankong thupitah ahin sem’in, anehsah in, apupau kom langa ale soltan ahi. Hichejou chun Syria galmite Israel gam ahin nokhum tapouvin ahi.
24 And it came to pass after these things, that Benadad king of Syria gathered together all his army, and went up, and besieged Samaria.
Ahin phat chomkhat set jouhin Syria lengpa Benhadad in agalmite jouse atit khom’in Samaria khopi ahin umkhum tauvin ahi.
25 And there was a great famine in Samaria: and so long did the siege continue, till the head of an ass was sold for fourscore pieces of silver, and the fourth part of a cabe of pigeon’s dung, for five pieces of silver.
Hijeh chun khopi sunga chun kel lhahna nasatah aumtan ahi. Khopi aumkhum nao chu asot lheh jingtan ahileh sangan luchang khatchu dangka somget in akijoh in, gam louthul til jing jong atena khat hoplia hopkhatna chun dangka nga in akijoh tan ahi.
26 And as the king of Israel was passing by the wall, a certain woman cried out to him, saying: Save me, my lord O king.
Nikhat hi Israel lengpa chu khopi pal chunga chun avah lelen ahileh numeikhat in ahin kouvin, “Kapu lengpa neihuh in,” ahin tin ahi.
27 And he said: If the Lord doth not save thee, how can I save thee? out of the barnfloor, or out of the winepress? And the king said to her: What aileth thee? And she answered:
Chuin aman adonbut in, “Pakaiyin nakithopi louleh keiman ipi kabolpeh thei ding ham? Keiman changvohna pholla konin changla kanei tapon, lengpi twijong aheh lhahna a konin kanei tapon hoiya ipi kalah’a nang kapehding ham?” ati.
28 This woman said to me: Give thy son, that we may eat him today, and we will eat my son tomorrow.
Ahin lengpan adongin “Ipi ham nahahsatna,” tin adongin ahileh amanun adonbut, “Hiche numeinu hin kakom’ah ahungin tunin nang chapa chu nehitin jingleh keichapa nena hite atin,” ahi.
29 So we boiled my son, and ate him. And I said to her on the next day: Give thy son that we may eat him. And she hath hid her son.
Hijeh chun keichapa kakihon lhonin kane lhontai, ajingin ama chapa kitha hitin neta hite katileh, aman akisel mangtai,” ati.
30 When the king heard this, he rent his garments, and passed by upon the wall. And all the people saw the haircloth which he wore within next to his flesh.
Hichun Lengpan hiche thuhi ajah doh phat’in lunghangtah in apon abottel jingin ahi. Hitia chu lengpa palchunga ava lena a chun mipi hon khaodip pon akisil chu amuvin ahi.
31 And the king said: May God do so and so to me, and may he add more, if the head of Eliseus the son of Saphat shall stand on him this day.
Lengpa apengjah jingin, “Tuni tah ahi Elisha luchang katan louleh Pathen’in keima eithat jinghen” tin akihahsel jah jengtan ahi.
32 But Eliseus sat in his house, and the ancients sat with him. So he sent a man before: and before that messenger came, he said to the ancients: Do you know that this son of a murderer hath sent to cut off my head? Look then, when the messenger shall come, shut the door, and suffer him not to come in: for behold the sound of his master’s feet is behind him.
Hitia chu lengpan akoudia mi asol chun, Elisha chu Israel upa hotoh ainsungah ana toukhom’un, akoupa chu ahunglhun masang in Elisha’n upahojah achun, “Hiche tolthat pakhun keilol tang dingin mikhat ahin sollin ahi. Ama ahunglhun tengleh kot kamkhum mun hin lutsah hih un, ama nunga apupan ahin juipai ding ahi,” ati.
33 While he was yet speaking to them, the messenger appeared who was coming to him. And he said: Behold, so great an evil is from the Lord: what shall I look for more from the Lord?
Elisha’n hitia thu asei jinglai sung chun thupole pachu ahung lhung paitan, chule lengpa chun aseipaijin, “Hiche lungkhamna hojouse hi Pakaija kon ahi, chuti ahileh kon Pakai chu iti kanga jing nahlai ding ham?” ati.
