2 Kings 13
1 Jehoahaz, son of Jehu, became king of Israel in the twenty-third year of the reign of Joash, son of Ahaziah, king of Judah. He reigned in Samaria for seventeen years.
Judah manghai Ahaziah capa Joash kah kum kul kum thum vaengah Jehu capa Jehoahaz loh Israel te Samaria ah kum hlai rhih a manghai thil.
2 He did what was evil in the Lord's sight, and followed the sins that Jeroboam son of Nebat, had made Israel commit; he did not end them.
BOEIPA mik ah boethae a saii tih Israel aka tholh sak Nebat capa Jeroboam kah tholhnah dongah pongpa. Te lamlong te nong pawh.
3 So the Lord was angry with Israel, and he repeatedly allowed them to be defeated by Hazael, king of Aram, and his son Ben-hadad.
Te dongah BOEIPA kah thintoek te Israel taengla sai tih anih tue khuiah tah amih te Aram manghai Hazael kut hmui neh Hazael capa Benhadad kut hmuiah a tloeng.
4 Jehoahaz asked the Lord for help, and the Lord responded to his request because he saw how badly the king of Aram was treating Israel.
Tedae Aram manghai loh amih a nen vanbangla Israel sokah nennah te a hmuh dongah Jehoahaz loh BOEIPA mikhmuh ah nguek tih BOEIPA loh a ol a hnatun pah.
5 The Lord gave Israel someone who would save them so they no longer were under Aramean rule. Then the Israelites were able to go back to living in safety as before.
BOEIPA loh Israel aka khang ham te a paek dongah Aram kut hmui lamloh loeih uh. Te dongah Israel ca khaw hlaem hlavai kah bangla a dap ah kho a sak uh.
6 Even so they did not end the sins that the house of Jeroboam had made Israel commit—they continued to follow them. The Asherah idol still stood in Samaria.
Jeroboam im kah tholhnah lamloh nong uh pawh. A khuiah Israel aka tholh la aka tholh sak dongah te pongpa tih Asherah khaw Samaria ah pai.
7 All that was left of Jehoahaz's army were fifty horsemen, ten chariots, and ten thousand soldiers, for the king of Aram had destroyed the rest, turning them into dust like that when grain is threshed.
Jehoahaz taengah pilnam khaw a paih pah pawt dongah marhang caem sawmnga, leng parha neh rhalkap thawng rha bueng dawk a om pah. Amih te Aram manghai loh a milh sak tih amih te laipi a til phoeikah bangla a khueh.
8 The rest of what happened in Jehoahaz's reign, all he did, and his great achievements are recorded in the Book of Chronicles of the Kings of Israel.
Jehoahaz kah ol noi neh a saii boeih neh a thayung thamal te khaw, Israel manghai rhoek kah khokhuen olka cabu dongah a daek uh moenih a?
9 Jehoahaz died and was buried in Samaria. His son Jehoash succeeded him as king.
Jehoahaz te a napa rhoek taengla a khoem uh vaengah anih te Samaria ah a up uh. Te phoeiah a capa Joash te anih yueng la manghai.
10 Jehoash, son of Jehoahaz, became king of Israel in Samaria in the thirty-seventh year of the reign of King Joash of Judah, and he reigned for sixteen years.
Judah manghai Joash kah kum sawmthum kum rhih vaengah Jehoahaz capa Jehoash loh Samaria ah Israel te kum hlai rhuk a manghai thil.
11 He did what was evil in the Lord's sight and did not end all the sins that Jeroboam, son of Nebat, had made Israel commit—he continued to follow them.
BOEIPA mikhmuh ah boethae a saii tih Nebat capa Jeroboam kah tholhnah cungkuem lamloh a nong pawt dongah a khuiah Israel aka tholh sak te ni a vai.
12 The rest of what happened in Jehoash's reign, all he did, and his great achievements such as his war against Amaziah, king of Judah, are recorded in the Book of Chronicles of the Kings of Israel.
Joash kah ol noi neh a saii boeih khaw, Judah manghai Amaziah a vathoh thil vaengkah a thayung thamal khaw, Israel manghai rhoek kah khokhuen olka cabu dongah a daek uh moenih a?
13 Jehoash died, and Jeroboam sat on his throne. Jehoash was buried in Samaria with the kings of Israel.
Joash te a napa rhoek taengla a khoem uh vaengah anih kah ngolkhoel dongah Jeroboam ngol. Joash te Samaria ah a Israel manghai rhoek taengah a up.
14 Elisha had become ill with a disease that would eventually kill him. Jehoash, king of Israel, went to visit him, and wept over him, saying, “My father, my father, the chariots and the horsemen of Israel!”
Elisha te a tloh nue tih a duek tom vaengah anih taengla Israel manghai Joash te suntla. Te vaengah a maelhmai a rhah thil tih, “A pa, a pa, Israel kah leng neh a marhang caem,” a ti.
15 Elisha told him, “Find a bow and some arrows.” So Jehoash found a bow and some arrows.
Te vaengah Elisha loh anih te, “Lii neh thaltang lo lah,” a ti nah dongah amah ham lii neh thaltang te a loh.
16 Then Elisha said to the king of Israel, “Pick up the bow.” So the king picked up the bow. Elisha placed his hands on the king's hands.
Te phoeiah Israel manghai te, “Na kut te lii dongah tloeng,” a ti nah. A kut a tloeng van neh Elisha loh a kut te manghai kut soah a tloeng.
17 “Open the east window,” he told him. So the king opened it and Elisha said, “Shoot!” So he fired an arrow. Then Elisha explained, “This is the Lord's victory arrow representing the arrow of victory over the Arameans. You will attack the Arameans in Aphek and finish them off.”
Te phoeiah, “Khothoeng bangbuet te ong lah,” a ti nah tih a ong. Te vaengah Elisha loh, “Kap lah,” a ti nah tih a kah. Te phoeiah, “BOEIPA kah loeihnah thaltang neh Aram lamloh loeihnah thaltang, Aram te a thok hil Aphek ah na ngawn pawn ni,” a ti nah.
18 Then Elisha said, “Pick up the arrows!” So he picked them up. Elisha told the king of Israel, “Hit the ground with them!” He hit the ground three times, and then stopped.
Te phoeiah, “Thaltang te lo lah,” a ti nah tih a loh. Tedae Israel manghai te, “Diklai taam thil,” a ti nah hatah voei thum a taam vaengah vik pai.
19 The man of God got angry with him, telling him, “You should have hit the ground five or six times. Then you would have attacked the Arameans until you had completely destroyed them. But now you will only attack the Arameans three times.”
Te dongah Pathen kah hlang te anih taengah a thintoek tih, “Voei nga voei rhuk khaw na taam vetih Aram te a thok hil na ngawn mako. Aram te voei thum bueng ni na ngawn thai pawn eh?,” a ti nah.
20 Elisha died and was buried. Raiders from the country of Moab used to invade Israel every spring.
Tedae Elisha duek tih a up uh nen tah a kum a thok ah Moab caem loh khohmuen te a muk.
21 On time some Israelites were burying a man when suddenly they saw some raiders coming, so they quickly threw the man into Elisha's tomb. As soon as he touched Elisha's bones, the man came back to life and stood up.
Te vaengkah amih hlang aka up rhoek om tih caem te lawt a hmuh. Te dongah hlang te Elisha kah phuel ah a voeih uh tih cet uh. Tedae hlang loh Elisha kah rhuh te a ben vaengah tah hing tih amah kho dongah koep pai.
22 Hazael, king of Aram, caused problems for Israel through all Jehoahaz's reign.
Jehoahaz tue khuiah tah Aram manghai Hazael loh Israel te a nen.
23 But the Lord graciously helped them and was kind to them. He looked after them because of his agreement with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Even to this day he's been unwilling to destroy them or to throw them out of his presence.
Tedae BOEIPA loh amih te a rhen tih amih te a haidam. Abraham, Isaak neh Jakob taengkah a paipi kongah amih taengla mael. Amih phae ham a ngaih pawt dongah ni tahae duela a mikhmuh lamloh amih te a voeih pawh.
24 When Hazael, king of Aram, died, his son Ben-hadad succeeded him as king.
Aram manghai Hazael a duek van neh a capa Benhadad te anih yueng la manghai.
25 Then Jehoash, son of Jehoahaz, recovered from Ben-hadad son of Hazael, the towns that Hazael had captured from his father Jehoahaz. Jehoash defeated Ben-hadad three times, and so recaptured the Israelite towns.
Te daengah Jehoahaz capa Jehoash te mael tih khopuei rhoek te Hazael capa Benhadad kut lamloh koep a lat. Te te a napa Jehoahaz kut lamloh a loh pah dongah Joash loh anih te caem neh voei thum a ngawn tih Israel khopuei rhoek te koep a lat.
