2 Kings 3
1 Joram, son of Ahab, became king of Israel in the eighteenth year of the reign of King Jehoshaphat of Judah. He reigned in Samaria for twelve years.
Judah siangpahrang Jehoshaphat a bawi kum 18 nah, Ahab capa Jehoram teh Isarelnaw lathueng Samaria vah siangpahrang lah ao teh kum 12 touh a uk.
2 He did evil in the Lord's sight, but not like his father and mother had done, for he got rid of the stone image of Baal that his father had made.
BAWIPA mithmu vah thoenae a sak. Hatei a manu hoi a na pa patetlah na hoeh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, a na pa ni Baal talung a ung e hah a tâkhawng.
3 However, he still held on to the sins that Jeroboam, son of Nebat, had made Israel commit—he did not give them up.
Hateiteh, Isarelnaw e yonnae ka saksakkung Nebat capa Jeroboam, yonnae koe a bawk van teh, cettakhai hoeh.
4 Mesha, king of Moab, was a sheep breeder. He used to provide a tribute to the king of Israel of one hundred thousand lambs and the wool of one hundred thousand rams.
Moab siangpahrang Mesha teh tu ka khoum e doeh. Isarel siangpahrang koevah, tuca ting touh e muen hoi, tutan ting touh e muen hoi, kum tangkuem tamuk hah ouk a poe.
5 But after Ahab died, the king of Moab rebelled against the king of Israel.
Hatei Ahab a due hnukkhu teh, Moab siangpahrang teh Isarel siangpahrang koe taran lah a thaw.
6 Immediately King Joram called up the whole Israelite army and left Samaria.
Hote atueng nah, siangpahrang Jehoram teh Samaria kho hoi a tâco teh Isarel taminaw pueng hah a pâkhueng.
7 On his way he sent a message to Jehoshaphat, king of Judah, saying, “The king of Moab has rebelled against me. Will you join me in an attack on Moab?” Jehoshaphat replied, “Yes, I will join you. You and I are as one, my men and your men are as one, and my horses and your horses are as one.”
A tâco teh, Judah siangpahrang Jehoshaphat koevah, Moab siangpahrang ni na tuk teh, Moabnaw heh na tuk khai ngai han na ou telah tami a patoun. Ahnimouh ni oe na tuk khai han bo khei, kai hoi nang, ka tami hoi na tami, teh buet touh lah o teh, ka marang hoi na marang buet touh lah doeh ao atipouh.
8 Then he asked, “Which way shall we go?” “We'll take the road through the desert of Edom,” he replied.
Pawiteh, nâ lam hoi maw takhang han vaw telah ati. Edom kahrawng lam koehoi cei han atipouh.
9 So the king of Israel, the king of Judah, and the king of Edom set off. Having followed an indirect route for seven days, they ran out of water for their army and for their animals.
Hot patetlah, Isarel siangpahrang teh, Judah siangpahrang hoi Edom siangpahrangnaw hoi a cei awh. Hnin sari touh thung lawngven laihoi a cei awh teh, ransanaw hoi saringnaw nei hane tui awm hoeh.
10 “What are we doing?” complained the king of Israel. “The Lord has brought us three kings here to hand us over to the Moabites!”
Isarel siangpahrang ni Aiyoe! BAWIPA ni siangpahrang kathum touh heh, hete Moabnaw koe poe hanelah na ceikhai awh e han doeh toe telah ati.
11 But Jehoshaphat asked, “Isn't there a prophet of the Lord here with us? Let us consult the Lord through him.” One of the king of Israel's officers answered, “Elisha, son of Shaphat, is here. He was Elijah's assistant.”
Hateiteh, Jehoshaphat ni, awi hi vah, BAWIPA koe na ka het pouh kung BAWIPA e profet apihai awm hoeh namaw telah ati. Isarel siangpahrang a san buet touh ni Elijah kut dawk tui ouk ka awi e Shaphat capa Elisha hah atu hi ao atipouh.
12 Jehoshaphat agreed, “The Lord communicates by him.” So the king of Israel, Jehoshaphat, and the king of Edom went to see him.
Jehoshaphat ni ahni koe BAWIPA e lawk ao telah ati. Hahoi teh Isarel siangpahrang hoi Jehoshaphat hoi Edom siangpahrang teh ahni koevah a cei awh.
13 Elisha said to the king of Israel, “What have I got to do with you? Go to your own prophets, those of your father and your mother.” But the king of Israel said to him, “No—because it's the Lord who has brought these three kings here to hand them over to the Moabites!”
Elisha ni Isarel siangpahrang koe nang hoi kai kâkuetnae bangmaw kaawm. Na pa profetnaw hoi na manu profetnaw koe cet awh khe atipouh. Hatei, Isarel siangpahrang ni ahni koe ka cet mahoeh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, siangpahrang kathum touh heh, Moabnaw kut dawk poe hane BAWIPA ni na kaw awh teh na pâkhueng awh e doeh telah ati.
14 Elisha replied, “As the Lord Almighty lives, the one I serve, if I didn't respect the fact that Jehoshaphat, king of Judah, is here, I wouldn't even look in your direction or acknowledge you.
Elisha ni, a hmalah ouk ka kangduenae ransahu BAWIPA a hring e patetlah Judah siangpahrang Jehoshaphat heh barilawa ka tawn hoehpawiteh nang koelah kamlang hoiyah hmu patenghai na hmawt ngai mahoeh ei.
15 Now bring me a musician.” While the musician played, the Lord's power came upon Elisha,
Bangtelah nakunghai, ratoung ka kueng panuek e na kaw pouh awh telah ati. Hahoi ratoung ka kueng panuek e ni a kueng pouh torei teh, BAWIPA e kut teh a tak dawk a pha.
16 and he announced, “This is what the Lord says: This valley will be filled with pools of water. For the Lord says:
BAWIPA Cathut ni telah a dei. Hete a yawn heh tuikhu hoi kawi sak awh.
17 You won't see any wind, you won't see any rain, but even so this valley will be filled with water. You will drink, and your cattle, and your animals.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, BAWIPA ni telah a dei. Kahlî thoseh, kho ka rak e thoseh na hmawt awh mahoeh toe, hatei hete tangkom heh tui hoi koung akawi han. Hahoi teh, namamouh hoi na saringnaw, moithangnaw ni a nei thai awh han telah ati.
18 The Lord views this as something trivial to do; and he will also make you victorious over the Moabites.
Hetheh BAWIPA han teh hno titca e doeh. Moabnaw hai na kut dawk na poe awh han.
19 You will conquer every fortified town, and every important town. You will chop down every good tree, block up every spring, and spoil every good field by throwing stones on them.”
Kacakpounge khonaw pueng hoi khopui kahawinaw pueng haiyah, na raphoe vaiteh, thing kahawi naw pueng hai na tâtueng awh han. Tuikhunaw pueng koung na paten awh vaiteh, hmuen kahawi naw pueng hah talung koung na paten awh han atipouh.
20 The next day, around the time of the morning sacrifice, water suddenly flowed from the direction of Edom, filling the whole countryside with water.
Hahoi a tangtho amom tavai thuengnae tueng navah, pouk laipalah Edom ram lahoi tui a lawng teh a ram teh tui yikkawi.
21 All the Moabites had heard that the kings had come to attack them. So everyone who could wear a sword, young and old, was called up and went to guard the border.
Moabnaw pueng ni ama tuk hanelah siangpahrang a kamthaw ti a panue navah, taran katukthai pueng a pâkhueng teh khori koevah sut a pawp awh.
22 But the next morning when they got up the sun was shining on the water, and to the Moabites on the other side it looked blood red.
Hahoi teh, amom vah a thaw awh teh, kho a sei nah tui dawk khumbei a bet e hah, namran lahoi teh tui hah thi patetlah Moabnaw ni a hmu awh.
23 “This is blood!” they said. “The kings and their armies must have attacked and killed each other! Moabites, let's grab the plunder!”
Ahnimanaw ni thi tangngak doeh toe. Siangpahrangnaw hah amamouh hoi amamouh a kâtuk awh teh, a kâthei awh mue toe, Moabnaw tho awh leih. A hnopainaw lawm awh lei sei a kâti awh.
24 But when the Moabites arrived at the Israelite camp, the Israelites ran out and attacked them, and they ran away from them. So the Israelites invaded their country and killed the Moabites.
Isarelnaw e roenae hmuen koe a pha toteh, Isarelnaw a thaw awh teh, Moabnaw hah a tuk awh teh, koung a yawng awh. Moabnaw hah noenoe a thei awh teh, a ram totouh a pâlei awh.
25 They destroyed the towns, and each soldier threw stones on every good field until it was covered. They blocked up every spring and chopped down every good tree. Only Kir-haraseth still had its walls, but soldiers using slingshots surrounded it and attacked it as well.
Khonaw a raphoe pouh awh teh hmuen kahawinaw pueng hai talung hoi a dei pouh awh teh talung muen akawi. Tuikhunaw pueng muen a paten pouh awh teh, thing kahawinaw pueng hai koung a tâtueng awh. Hatei, Kirhareseth, rapan tumdum e teh tek awh hoeh. Hatei, tâyai kathoumnaw ni, a kalup awh teh a tâ awh.
26 When the king of Moab realized he'd lost the battle, he led seven hundred swordsmen in an attempt to break through and attack the king of Edom, but they weren't able to do so.
Moab siangpahrang ni na tuknae heh ka khang thai mahoeh tie a panue toteh, Edom siangpahrang koe pou yawng takhai hanlah a kâcai teh, tahloi ka patuem e cum sari touh a ceikhai. Hatei tapoung thai awh hoeh.
27 So the king of Moab took his firstborn son, who was meant to succeed him, and sacrificed him as a burnt offering on the town wall. Great anger came upon the Israelites, so they left and went back to their own country.
Hahoi teh a camin ama yueng lah ka bawi hane hah rapan van vah, hmaisawi thuengnae lah a hno teh, Isarel taranlahoi lungkuephoehnae haw vah ao. Hottelah a ban takhai awh teh, amamae ram dawk a ban awh.
