< 2 Kings 7 >
1 Elisha replied, “Listen to the message from the Lord. This is what the Lord says: Around this time tomorrow a seah of the best flour will sell for a shekel, and two seahs of barley will sell for a shekel at the gate of Samaria.”
Elisha ni, BAWIPA lawk thai awh haw. BAWIPA ni telah a dei. Tangtho atu e tuektue vah, rapan longkha teng vah, tavai sum touh hah, sekel buet touh lah yo han, catun sum hni touh hah sekel buet lah yo awh han ati.
2 The officer who was the king's assistant said to the man of God, “Look, even if the Lord opened windows in heaven what you say couldn't happen!” Elisha replied, “You'll see it with your own eyes, but you won't get to eat any of it.”
Siangpahrang kut ka kângue e ransabawi ni Cathut e tami hah a pathung. Khenhaw! BAWIPA ni kalvan vah hlalangawnaw paawng pawiteh hottelah a coung thai yawkaw han doeh atipouh. Elisha ni oe hatei, na mit ni a hmu vaiteh na cat mahoeh telah atipouh.
3 There happened to be four men with leprosy at the entrance of the city gate. They said to each other, “Why are we sitting around here until we die?
Hahoi kâennae longkha koe, hrikbeinaw pali touh ao awh. Bangkongmaw maimouh ni due han totouh awi hivah khuet tahung awh han vaw
4 If we say, ‘Let's go into the city,’ we'll die because of the famine there; but if we go on sitting here, we'll die too. So come on, let's go to the camp of the Arameans and surrender to them. If they let us live, we'll live; if they kill us, we'll die.”
Kho thung kâen nakunghai takang kecu dawk due awh han. Awi hi pou ka tahung awh nakunghai due mingming awh han. Hatdawkvah Siria ransanaw koe kâhmoun ngala awh sei. Na hlung awh pawiteh hring awh han, na thet awh pawiteh due awh han, telah buet touh hoi buet touh a kâdei awh.
5 So they set off when it was getting dark and went to the camp of the Arameans. But when they arrived at the edge of the camp, nobody was there!
Hahoi teh Sirianaw roenae hmuen koe cei hanlah, khodai hoehnahlan a kamthaw awh. Sirianaw roenae koe a pha toteh, khenhaw! apihai awm hoeh.
6 For the Lord had made the Arameans hear the sound of chariots, horses, and a large army approaching, so they said to each other, “The king of Israel has hired the kings of the Hittites and Egyptians to come and attack us.”
Bangkongtetpawiteh, BAWIPA ni Siria ransanaw e rangleng lawk hoi marang yawng pawlawk, ransa moikapap e pawlawk lah a thai sak. Khenhaw! Isarel siangpahrang ni Hitnaw e siangpahrang hoi Izip siangpahrang hah maimouh tuk hanelah a kawi mue toe ati awh.
7 So they jumped up and ran away into the night, leaving behind their tents, their horses, and their donkeys. In fact the camp was left just as it was when they ran for their lives.
Hatdawkvah, kho vumpava a dai navah koung a yawng awh. Ahnimae rimnaw hoi rangleng hoi lanaw hoi roenae rimnaw pueng teh ama hottelah koung a yawng takhai awh.
8 When the lepers got to the edge of the camp, they went into a tent and ate and drank. Then they took the silver, gold, and clothes, and hid them. After that they went back to another tent, took some things from there, and hid them.
Hahoi hrikbeinaw ni, a roenae rim koe a pha toteh buet touh e rim dawk a kâen awh. Haw e kaawmnaw hai a la awh teh bout a hro awh.
9 Then they said to each other, “It's not right what we're doing. This is a day of good news, and if we keep quiet about it and wait until it gets light, we're sure to be punished. So let's go right away and let them know at the king's palace.”
Hathnukkhu hoi maimouh teh, hnokahawi sak awh hoeh toe. Sahnin teh kamthang a phanae hnin toe, hatdawkvah maimouh ni lungmawng lah awm hanh, khodai e ring awh pawiteh, reknae buet buet touh kâhmo awh mingming han doeh. Hatdawkvah tho awh leih. Siangpahrang imthungkhu koe dei awh leih sei ti teh buet touh hoi buet touh a kâdei awh.
10 They went and called to the gatekeepers of the city, “We went over to the Aramean camp and no one was there, not a sound of anybody! There were just horses and donkeys tied up, and the tents just as they were.”
Hahoi, a cei awh teh, kho longkha ka ring e hah a kaw awh teh, ahni koe Sirianaw a roenae koe ka cei awh teh, khenhaw! apihai la awm hoeh. Tami pawrin lawk hai banghai tho hoeh. Marang hoi lengnaw teh koung a kâpen, rimnaw hai ama telah roup a ta awh telah a dei pouh awh.
11 The gatekeepers shouted out the news, and reports reached the royal palace.
Hat torei teh, longkha karingkung ni siangpahrang imthungkhu koe patuen a dei pouh.
12 The king got up in the night and said to his officers, “Let me tell you the trick the Arameans are trying to play on us. They know we're starving, so they have left the camp and hidden in the field, thinking, ‘When they leave the city, we'll take them alive and be able to enter the city.’”
Siangpahrang teh karum vah a thaw teh a sannaw koevah Sirianaw ni na sak awh e heh na dei pouh vai, maimouh vonhlam e hah a panue awh teh, khopui thung hoi a tâco toteh, a hring lahoi man kong ati awh teh, hahoi khothung kâen sin sei ati awh e muema toe. Kahrawng a kâhro awh e han doeh, hatdawkvah roenae rim a ceitakhai e han doeh telah ati.
13 One of his officers suggested, “Have some men take five of the remaining horses in the city. What happens to them will be the same as that of all the Israelites left here, All the Israelites here are doomed. Let's send them to find out what's going on.”
A san bout touh niyah, a pathung teh, pahren lahoi yah khopui dawk kacawirae marang panga touh hoi tami nâyittouh ni ne cetkhai naseh. Khenhaw! Isarelnaw ka la awm e naw patetlah doeh ao awh. Atangcalah dei pawiteh ka rawk tangcoungnaw thung dawk hoi Isarel e a hu lah pouk e lah ao thai nahanlah tha awh sei atipouh.
14 So they got two chariots ready with their horses, and the king sent them out to the Aramean camp, telling them “Go and take a look.”
Hahoi leng ka sawn e marang kahni touh a ceikhai awh teh siangpahrang ni, khenhaw! telah, Siria ransanaw pâlei hanelah a patoun toe.
15 They went after them as far as the Jordan, and the whole way was full of clothing and equipment the Arameans had thrown aside as they ran away. The messengers returned and reported to the king.
Jordan palang totouh, a pâlei awh teh, khenhaw! Sirianaw karang poung lah a yawng awh dawkvah, a tâkhawng awh e angki, hna, hnopai naw lam vah nawinawi a kâkayei telah patounenaw ni a ban awh teh siangpahrang koe a dei awh.
16 Then the people went out and looted the camp of the Arameans. So a seah of the best flour sold for a shekel, and two seahs of barley sold for a shekel, just as the Lord had predicted.
Hahoi teh taminaw ni, a tâco awh teh Sirianaw e rimnaw a lawp awh. Hahoi teh, BAWIPA lawk patetlah tavai sum touh dawk sekel buet touh lah, catun sum hni touh dawk sekel buet touh lah a yo awh.
17 The king had put the officer who was his assistant in charge of the gate. In their rush the people trampled him in the gateway and he died, just as the man of God had said when the king visited him.
Hahoi siangpahrang ni, amae kut ka kângue e ransabawi hah kalupnae longkha karingkung lah a sak. Hahoi tami tangkuem ni kalupnae longkha koe ahni hah kawt a katin awh teh, Cathut tami ni siangpahrang koe a tho nah a dei e patetlah a due.
18 What the man of God had told the king also came true when he said, “Around this time tomorrow a seah of the best flour will sell for a shekel, and two seahs of barley will sell for a shekel at the gate of Samaria.”
Hahoi teh, Cathut e tami ni siangpahrang koevah, tangtho het tuektue nah, Samaria kalupnae longkha koevah, tavai sum touh dawk sekel buet lah a yo awh vaiteh catun sum hni touh dawk sekel buet lah a yo awh han ati teh,
19 Also the officer who was the king's assistant had said to the man of God, “Look, even if the Lord opened windows in heaven what you say couldn't happen!” Elisha had replied, “You'll see it with your own eyes, but you won't get to eat any of it.”
ransabawi ni Cathut tami hah a pathung teh, BAWIPA ni kalvan longkha paawng pawiteh hottelah a coung yawkaw han doeh ati navah, ahni ni na mit hoi na hmu han, hatei na cat mahoeh telah a dei pouh e hah, a tak dawk a pha pouh.
20 This is what happened to him. The people trampled him in the gateway and he died.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, khopui longkha koe tamimaya ni longkha koe a katinkaawi awh teh kawt a due.
