< 2 Kings 6 >

1 The sons of the prophets told Elisha, “Look, the place we meet with you is too small 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's go to the Jordan and each of us can carry one log back. We can build a new place there for us to meet.” “Go ahead,” said Elisha.
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 One of them asked, “Please come with your servants.” “I'll come,” he replied.
Amaho lah’a khat in atem’un, “Neihung kilhonpiuvin,” ati. Aman jong, “Hung nange,” atin ahi.
4 So he went with them. When they got to the Jordan, they started cutting down trees.
Hichun Elisha jong amaho chutoh akilhon tauvin ahi. Jordan aga lhun phat’un, amahon thing akitan tauvin ahi.
5 But as one of them was cutting down a tree, the iron axhead fell into the water. “Oh no! My master, it was one that was borrowed!” he shouted.
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 “Where did it fall?” the man of God asked. When he showed him the place, the man of God cut a stick, threw it in there, and made the iron axhead float.
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 “Pick it up,” Elisha told the man. So he reached out his hand and picked it up.
Hichun Elisha’n, “Kilah in,” ati, hichun mipan agahsangin akimat tan ahi.
8 The Aramean king was at war with Israel. After consulting with his officers, he said, “I will set up my camp in this particular place.”
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 Then the man of God sent a warning to the king of Israel: “Watch out if you go near this place, because the Arameans are going to be there.”
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 So the king of Israel sent a warning to the place the man of God had indicated. Elisha repeatedly warned the king, so that he was on the alert in those places.
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 This made the Aramean king really mad. He summoned his officers, demanding an answer: “Tell me, which of us is on the side of 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 “It's none of us, my lord the king,” one of his officers replied. “It's Elisha, the prophet who lives in Israel—he tells the king of Israel even what you say in your bedroom.”
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 So the king gave the order, “Go and find out where he is so I can send soldiers to capture him.” He was told, “Elisha 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 So he sent horses, chariots, and a large army. They came at night and surrounded the town.
Hichun Syria lengpan hiche khopi sung umding’in sepai tamtah leh sakol kangtalai tamtah asoltan ahi.
15 Early in the morning when the servant of the man of God got up, he went out and saw that an army with horses and chariots had surrounded the city. “Oh, my master, what are we going to do?” he asked Elisha.
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 Elisha replied, “Don't be afraid, for there are many more who are with us than there are with them!”
Elisha’n ama kom’ah, “Kicha hihin, amaho sangin eini panpiho atamjouve,” ati.
17 Elisha prayed, saying, “Lord, please open his eyes so he can see.” The Lord opened the servant's eyes, and when he looked he saw the hills full of horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha.
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 As the army descended on him, Elisha prayed to the Lord, “Please strike these people with blindness.” So he struck them with blindness, as Elisha had asked.
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 Then Elisha went and told them, “This isn't the right road, and this isn't the right town. Follow me, and I'll take you to the man you're looking for.” He led them to 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 After they had entered Samaria, Elisha prayed, “Lord, open the eyes of these men that they can see.” The Lord opened their eyes, and they looked around and saw that they were in 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 When the king of Israel saw them, he asked Elisha, “My father, shall I kill them? 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 “No, don't you kill them!” he replied. “Would you kill prisoners you captured with your own sword or bow? Give them some food and water so that they may eat and drink, and then let them go back 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 So the king had a great feast prepared for them, and once they had finished eating and drinking, he sent them back to their master. The Aramean raiders did not enter the land of Israel again.
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 Sometime after this Ben-hadad king of Aram called up all his army and went to lay siege to Samaria.
Ahin phat chomkhat set jouhin Syria lengpa Benhadad in agalmite jouse atit khom’in Samaria khopi ahin umkhum tauvin ahi.
25 So there was a major famine in Samaria. In fact the siege lasted so long that a donkey's head cost eighty shekels of silver, and a quarter cab of dove's dung cost five shekels 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 As the king of Israel was walking by on the city wall, a woman called out to him, “Help me, my lord the 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 “If the Lord doesn't help you, why would you think I can help you?” the king replied. “I don't have grain from the threshing floor, or wine from the winepress.”
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 But then he asked her, “What's the problem?” “This woman told me, ‘Give up your son and we'll eat him today, and tomorrow we'll eat my son,’” she answered.
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 cooked my son and we ate him. The next day I said to her, ‘Give up your son so we can eat him,’ but she's hidden 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 what the woman said he ripped his clothes. As he walked by on the wall, the people saw that he was wearing sackcloth under his clothes next to his skin.
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 “May God punish me very severely if the head of Elisha, son of Shaphat, remains on his shoulders today!” he declared.
Lengpa apengjah jingin, “Tuni tah ahi Elisha luchang katan louleh Pathen’in keima eithat jinghen” tin akihahsel jah jengtan ahi.
32 Elisha was sitting in his house with the elders. The king had sent a messenger on ahead, but before he got there, Elisha told the elders, “Can you see how this murderer is sending someone to cut off my head? So, as soon as the messenger arrives, close the door and hold it shut against him. Isn't that the sound of his master's footsteps following 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 Elisha was still speaking with them, the messenger arrived. The king said, “This disaster is from the Lord. Why should I wait for the Lord any longer?”
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.
