1 Kings 20
1 Then Ben-hadad the King of Aram assembled all his armie, and two and thirtie Kings with him, with horses, and charets, and went vp and besieged Samaria, and fought against it.
Aram manghai Benhadad loh amah kah thadueng boeih neh a taengkah manghai sawmthum panit, marhang neh leng khaw a coi. Te phoeiah cet tih Samaria te a dum tih a vathoh thil.
2 And he sent messengers to Ahab King of Israel, into the citie,
Te phoeiah khopuei la Israel manghai Ahab taengla puencawn a tueih.
3 And sayd vnto him, Thus sayth Ben-hadad, Thy siluer and thy golde is mine: also thy women, and thy fayre children are mine.
Ahab te, “Benhadad loh, ‘Na cak neh na sui khaw kai ham, na yuu neh na ca khaw, na hnothen khaw kai ham,’ a ti,” a ti nah.
4 And the King of Israel answered, and sayd, My lord King, according to thy saying, I am thine, and all that I haue.
Israel manghai loh a doo tih, “Ka boei manghai namah ol bangla kai neh ka taengkah boeih he namah ham ni,” a ti nah.
5 And when the messengers came againe, they said, Thus commandeth Ben-hadad, and saith, When I shall send vnto thee, and command, thou shalt deliuer me thy siluer and thy golde, and thy women, and thy children,
Puencawn rhoek te mael tih, “Benhadad loh he ni a thui. ‘Na cak neh na sui, hoe ham nang taengla kan tueih, na yuu na ca rhoek khaw kai taengah m'pae,’ a ti.
6 Or els I will sende my seruants vnto thee by to morow this time: and they shall search thine house, and the houses of thy seruants: and whatsoeuer is pleasant in thine eyes, they shall take it in their handes, and bring it away.
Thangvuen tahae tue ah ka sal rhoek nang taengla kan tueih vetih na im neh na sal rhoek im khaw a phuelhthaih uh ni. Na mik loh a ngailaemnah boeih te a kut dongah a tloeng uh vetih a khuen ni,” a ti nah.
7 Then the King of Israel sent for all the Elders of the land, and sayd, Take heede, I pray you, and see how he seeketh mischiefe: for he sent vnto me for my wiues, and for my children, and for my siluer, and for my golde, and I denyed him not.
Israel manghai loh khohmuen kah a ham rhoek boeih te a khue tih, “Ming uh laeh lamtah boethae a tlap he hmuh uh. Ka taengla han tueih vaengah ka yuu neh ka ca rhoek, ka cak neh ka sui khaw, anih ham ka hloh moenih,” a ti nah.
8 And all the Elders, and all the people sayd to him, Hearken not vnto him, nor consent.
Te vaengah anih te a ham boeih neh pilnam boeih loh, “Hnatun pah boeh, ngaih pah boeh,” a ti nah.
9 Wherefore hee sayde vnto the messengers of Ben-hadad, Tell my lorde the King, All that thou didddest sende for to thy seruant at the first time, that I will doe, but this thing I may not do. And the messengers departed, and brought him an answere.
Te dongah Benhadad kah puencawn rhoek te, “Ka boei manghai te thui pah, lamhma la sal nan tueih vaengkah boeih te tah ka ngai ni. Tedae tahae kah ol he ka ngai ham a coeng moenih,” a ti nah. Te phoeiah puencawn rhoek te cet uh tih ol te a mael puei uh.
10 And Ben-hadad sent vnto him, and sayde, The gods do so to me and more also, if the dust of Samaria be ynough to all the people that follow me, for euery man an handfull.
Benhadad loh anih te ol a tah tih, “Samaria kah laipi he ka kho kung kah pilnam boeih ham kutpha dongah a buem atah pathen loh kai taengah n'saii saeh lamtah n'koei van saeh,” a ti nah.
11 And the King of Israel answered, and sayd, Tell him, Let not him that girdeth his harneis, boast himselfe, as he that putteth it off.
Israel manghai loh a doo tih, “Thui pa uh, a ka vah khaw aka dul bangla yan uh boel saeh,” ti nah.
12 And when he heard that tidings, as he was with the Kings drinking in the pauilions, he sayd vnto his seruants, Bring forth your engines, and they set them against the citie.
Amah neh manghai rhoek loh dungtlungim ah a ok uh li vaengah he ol he a yaak. Te dongah a sal rhoek te, “Rhuengphong uh,” a ti nah tih khopuei te a rhuengphong thil uh.
13 And beholde, there came a Prophet vnto Ahab King of Israel, saying, Thus sayeth the Lord, Hast thou seene all this great multitude? beholde, I will deliuer it into thine hande this day, that thou mayest knowe, that I am the Lord.
Te vaengah Israel manghai Ahab taengla tonghma pakhat pakcak a mop pah tih, “BOEIPA loh he ni thui, hlangping he yet he boeih na hmuh nama? Tihnin ah kai loh na kut dongah kam paek coeng tih kai he BOEIPA la nan ming bitni ne,” a ti nah.
14 And Ahab sayd, By whome? And he sayde, Thus sayth the Lord, By the seruants of the princes of the prouinces. He sayde againe, Who shall order the battel? And he answered, Thou.
Te vaengah Ahab loh, “U nen nim?” a ti nah. Te dongah, “BOEIPA loh he ni a thui, paeng kah mangpa cadong rhoek neh,” a ti nah. Te phoeiah, “U long caemtloek a pin eh?” a ti nah hatah, “Nang loh,” a ti nah.
15 Then he nombred the seruantes of the princes of the prouinces, and they were two hundreth, two and thirtie: and after them he nombred the whole people of all the children of Israel, euen seuen thousand.
Te dongah paeng kah mangpa cadong rhoek te a soep tih yahnih sawmthum panit lo uh. Amih phoeiah Israel ca boeih, pilnam pum te thawng rhih la a soep.
16 And they went out at noone: but Ben-hadad did drinke till he was drunken in the tentes, both he and the Kings: for two and thirtie Kings helped him.
Te phoeiah khothun ah a muk uh dae Benhadad tah amah neh anih aka bom manghai rhoek, manghai sawmthum panit rhoek tah dungtlungim ah a ok uh tih rhui uh.
17 So the seruants of the princes of the prouinces went out first: and Ben-hadad sent out, and they shewed him, saying, There are men come out of Samaria.
Te vaengah paeng kah mangpa cadong rhoek te lamhma la khoong uh tih Benhadad taengla a tueih. Te dongah a taengla puen uh tih, “Samaria lamkah hlang ha khoong,” a ti nah.
18 And he sayde, Whether they be come out for peace, take them aliue: or whether they bee come out to fight, take them yet aliue.
Te vaengah, “Rhoepnah ham ha pawk akhaw amih te a hing la tu uh, caemtloek ham ha pawk akhaw amih te a hing la tu uh,” a ti nah.
19 So they came out of the citie, to wit, the seruants of the princes of the prouinces, and the hoste which followed them.
Te tlam te khopuei lamloh paeng kah mangpa cadong rhoek khoong uh tih amih hnukah tatthai rhoek te om uh.
20 And they slew euery one his enemie: and the Aramites fled, and Israel pursued them: but Ben-hadad ye King of Aram escaped on an horse with his horsemen.
Hlang pakhat loh hlang pakhat van a tloek uh dongah Aram rhoek te rhaelrham uh. Amih te Israel loh a hloem dae Aram manghai Benhadad tah marhang caem neh marhang dongah vik loeih.
21 And the King of Israel went out, and smote the horses and charets, and with a great slaughter slew he the Aramites.
Israel manghai te cet tih marhang khaw leng khaw a ngawn pah. Aram soah hmasoe len neh a ngawn.
22 (For there had come a Prophet to the King of Israel, and had sayd vnto him, Goe, be of good courage, and consider, and take heede what thou doest: for when the yeere is gone about, the King of Aram wil come vp against thee)
Te vaengah tonghma te Israel manghai taengla thoeih. Te phoeiah anih te, “Cet, thaahuel lamtah ming laeh. Kum a thok vaengah Aram manghai loh nang taengla ha pawk ham dongah metla na saii ham khaw ana so,” a ti nah.
23 Then the seruants of the King of Aram said vnto him, Their gods are gods of the moutaines, and therefore they ouercame vs: but let vs fight against them in the playne, and doubtlesse we shall ouercome them.
Te vaengah Aram manghai kah sal rhoek loh, “Amih kah pathen tah tlang kah pathen ni. Te dongah mamih lakah tlung uh. Tedae amih te tlangkol ah m'vathoh thil koinih amih lakah n'tlung uh van mapawt nim?
24 And this doe, Take the Kings away, euery one out of his place, and place captaines for them.
He ol bangla saii laeh. Manghai rhoek te amah hmuen lamloh rhip khoe lamtah amih yueng la rhalboei rhoek te tloep khueh laeh.
25 And nomber thy selfe an armie, like the armie that thou hast lost, with such horses, and such charets, and we wil fight against them in the plaine, and doubtlesse we shall ouercome them: and he hearkened vnto their voyce, and did so.
Namah loh nang lamkah caem a ha tarhing ah namah ham caem te hueh laeh. Marhang khaw marhang tarhing ah, leng khaw leng tarhing ah khueh laeh. Tlangkol ah amih m'vathoh thil ham te amih lakah n'tlung het mahpawt nim?” a ti nah. Te dongah amih ol te a hnatun tih a saii tangloeng.
26 And after the yeere was gone about, Ben-hadad nombred the Aramites, and went vp to Aphek to fight against Israel.
Kum a thok vaengah tah Benhadad loh Aram te a soep tih Israel caemtloek thil ham Aphek la cet.
27 And the children of Israel were nombred, and were all assembled and went against them, and the children of Israel pitched before them, like two litle flockes of kiddes: but the Aramites filled the countrey.
Israel ca rhoek khaw soep uh thae, cangbam uh thae tih amih te mah hamla cet uh. Tedae Israel ca rhoek loh amih taengah maae ca rhoi bangla a rhaeh uh vaengah Aram loh diklai a khuk uh coeng.
28 And there came a man of God, and spake vnto the King of Israel, saying, Thus sayeth the Lord, Because the Aramites haue sayd, The Lord is the God of the mountaines, and not God of the valleis, therefore will I deliuer all this great multitude into thine hand, and ye shall know that I am the Lord.
Te vaengah Pathen kah hlang te mop tih Israel manghai te a voek. Te phoeiah, “BOEIPA loh he ni a thui. Aram rhoek loh, ‘YAHWEH he tlang kah pathen ni, tuikol pathen moenih,’ a ti uh dongah hlangping he yet he nang kut la boeih kam paek. Te dongah kai he BOEIPA la nan ming bitni,” a ti nah.
29 And they pitched one ouer against the other seuen dayes, and in the seuenth day the battel was ioyned: and the children of Israel slew of the Aramites an hundreth thousand footemen in one day.
Te rhoek danah hnin rhih rhaeh uh tih a hnin rhih dongah a pha vaengah caemtloek te pha uh. Te vaengah Israel ca rhoek loh khohnin pakhat neh Aram rhalkap thawng yakhat a ngawn uh.
30 But the rest fled to Aphek into the citie: and there fel a wall vpon seuen and twentie thousand men that were left: and Ben-hadad fled into the citie, and came into a secret chamber.
Aka sueng rhoek te Aphek khopuei la rhaelrham uh van dae hlang aka sueng duen thawng kul thawng rhih te vongtung loh a cungku thil. Benhadad te rhaelrham tih khopuei ah imkhui kah imkhui patoeng la kun.
31 And his seruants sayd vnto him, Beholde nowe, we haue heard say that the Kings of the house of Israel are mercifull Kings: we pray thee, let vs put sacke cloth about our loynes, and ropes about our heads, and goe out to the King of Israel: it may be that he will saue thy life.
Te vaengah a sal rhoek loh anih te, “Israel im kah manghai rhoek tah sitlohnah manghai la n'yaak uh coeng he. Mamih cinghen ah tlamhni, mamih lu dongah rhui yil uh mai sih. Israel manghai taengla cet uh sih lamtah na hinglu khaw han hlun khaming,” a ti na uh.
32 Then they gyrded sackecloth about their loynes, and put ropes about their heads, and came to the King of Israel, and sayd, Thy seruant Ben-hadad sayth, I pray thee, let me liue: and he sayd, Is he yet aliue? he is my brother.
Te dongah tlamhni te a cinghen ah, rhui te a lu ah a yen uh. Te phoeiah Israel manghai taengla cet uh tih, “Na sal Benhadad loh, ‘Ka hinglu tah hing mai saeh,’ a ti,” a ti na uh. Te vaengah, “Anih ka manuca te amah hing pueng a?” a ti nah.
33 Now the men tooke diliget heede, if they could catch any thing of him, and made haste, and sayd, Thy brother Ben-hadad. And he sayd, Go, bring him. So Ben-hadad came out vnto him, and he caused him to come vp vnto the chariot.
Te vaengah hlang rhoek loh lung a sawt uh tih tokthuet uh. Anih te a hmuek coeng dongah, “Na manuca Benhadad ni,” a ti uh vaengah, “Paan uh lamtah anih te lo uh,” a ti nah. Te dongah Benhadad te a taengla a pawk neh leng dongah a caeh puei.
34 And Ben-hadad sayd vnto him, The cities, which my father tooke from thy father, I wil restore, and thou shalt make streetes for thee in Damascus, as my father did in Samaria. Then said Ahab, I will let thee goe with this couenant. So he made a couenant with him, and let him goe.
Te vaengah Benhadad loh Ahab te, “A pa loh na pa taeng lamkah a loh khopuei rhoek te kam mael pawn eh. A pa loh Samaria ah a khueh vanbangla Damasku ah namah ham kawtpoeng la khueh,” a ti nah. Te dongah, “Kai khaw paipi bangla nang kan tueih bitni,” a ti nah. Te dongah anih neh paipi a saii tih a tueih.
35 Then a certaine man of the children of the Prophets sayd vnto his neighbour by the comandement of the Lord, Smite me, I pray thee. But the man refused to smite him.
Tonghma ca rhoek khuikah hlang pakhat loh BOEIPA ol bangla a hui taengah, “Kai he n'ngawn laeh,” a ti nah. Tedae hlang loh anih ngawn ham te a aal.
36 Then sayd he vnto him, Because thou hast not obeyed the voyce of the Lord, beholde, as soone as thou art departed from me, a lyon shall slay thee. So when he was departed from him, a lyon found him and slew him.
Te dongah anih te, “BOEIPA ol te na hnatun pawt dongah kai taeng lamloh na caeh neh sathueng loh nang n'ngawn ni te,” a ti nah. Te dongah anih taeng lamloh a caeh neh anih te sathueng loh a hmuh tih a ngawn.
37 Then he founde another man, and sayde, Smite mee, I pray thee. And the man smote him, and in smiting wounded him.
Hlang tloe te a hmuh vaengah, “Kai he n'ngawn mai,” a ti nah. Te dongah anih te hlang pakhat loh a ngawn vaengah a hi hamla a ngawn.
38 So the Prophet departed, and wayted for the King by the way, and disguised himselfe with ashes vpon his face.
Te phoeiah tonghma te cet tih longpuei ah manghai ana pai thil. Te vaengah a mik dongkah mikben neh vik a ben.
39 And when the King came by, he cried vnto the King, and said, Thy seruant went into the middes of the battel: and beholde, there went away a man, whom another man brought vnto me, and sayd, Keepe this man: if he be lost, and want, thy life shall go for his life, or els thou shalt pay a talent of siluer.
Manghai a pah phai vaengah manghai te a pang thil tih, “Na sal he caemtloek lakli la ka cet. Tedae hlang khat pakcak ha pawk tih kai taengla hlang hang khuen. Te vaengah, ‘He kah hlang he ana dawn dae, a ha la a ha atah a hinglu ham te na hinglu om vetih cak talent khat neh na sah ni,’ a ti.
40 And as thy seruant had here and there to do, he was gone: And the King of Israel said vnto him, So shall thy iudgement be: thou hast giuen sentence.
Tedae na sal he heben hebang ah aka tok la a om vaengah anih ana om voel pawh,” a ti nah. Tedae Israel manghai loh anih te, “Namah kah laitloeknah te namah loh na hlavawt coeng,” a ti nah.
41 And hee hasted, and tooke the ashes away from his face: and the King of Israel knewe him that he was of the Prophets:
Te phoeiah a mik dong lamkah mikben te hawl a khong daengah anih te Israel manghai loh amah tonghma rhoek khui lamkah la a hmat.
42 And he said vnto him, Thus saith the Lord, Because thou hast let goe out of thine handes a man whom I appoynted to dye, thy life shall goe for his life, and thy people for his people.
Te phoeiah Ahab te, “BOEIPA loh he ni a thui. Hlang he kai kut lamloh yaehtaboeih la na hlah dongah a hinglu yueng la na hinglu, a pilnam yueng la na pilnam te om ni,” a ti nah.
43 And the King of Israel went to his house heauie and in displeasure, and came to Samaria.
Te dongah Israel manghai te a im la rhihnun cukduk neh thintoek la mael tih Samaria la pawk.
