< 2 Kings 6 >
1 And the children of the Prophets saide vnto Elisha, Behold, we pray thee, the place where we dwell with thee, is too litle for vs.
Tonghma ca rhoek loh Elisha te, “Mamih om nah hmuen he na mikhmuh ah kaimih ham khaw caek coeng he.
2 Let vs nowe goe to Iorden, that we may take thence euery man a beame, and make vs a place to dwell in. And he answered, Goe.
Jordan la cet uh mai sih lamtah te lamkah tungpum te hlang pakhat loh pakhat kawt sih. Te phoeiah mamih ham hmuen pahoi saii uh sih lamtah pahoi khosa uh sih,” a ti uh dongah, “Cet uh,” a ti nah.
3 And one said, Vouchsafe, I pray thee, to go with thy seruants, and he answered, I will goe.
Te vaengah pakhat loh, “Ueh mai lamtah na sal rhoek taengah pongpa mai,” a ti nah hatah, “Ka pongpa bitni,” a ti nah.
4 So he went with them, and when they came to Iorden, they cut downe wood.
Amih neh cet tih Jordan la a pawk vaengah thing te a saek uh.
5 And as one was felling of a tree, the yron fell into the water: then he cryed, and said, Alas master, it was but borowed.
Pakhat loh tungpum a vung vaengah thi te tui khuila a tlak pah. Te dongah pang tih, “Ka boeipa aw, te te ka vat dae ta,” a ti nah.
6 And the man of God saide, Where fell it? And he shewed him the place. Then he cut downe a piece of wood, and cast in thither, and he caused the yron to swimme.
Te dongah Pathen kah hlang loh, “Melam a tlak,” a ti nah tih a hmuen te a tueng. Te phoeiah thing a saih tih te ah te a khoh hata thi te a loe hang.
7 Then he saide, Take it vp to thee. And he stretched out his hand, and tooke it.
Te phoeiah, “Namah ham rhut laeh,” a ti nah dongah a kut a yueng tih a rhuh.
8 Then the King of Aram warred against Israel, and tooke counsell with his seruants, and said, In such and such a place shalbe my campe.
Te vaengah aka om Aram manghai loh Israel a vathoh thil. A sal rhoek te a uen tih, “Kamah kah buep te tongmang hmuen ah,” a ti nah.
9 Therefore the man of God sent vnto the King of Israel, saying, Beware thou goe not ouer to such a place: for there the Aramites are come downe.
Pathen kah hlang loh Israel manghai te a tah tih, “He hmuen la kat ham te ngaithuen, Aram te singling singloei lah ko te,” a ti nah.
10 So the King of Israel sent to the place which the man of God tolde him, and warned him of, and saued himselfe from thence, not once, nor twise.
Pathen kah hlang loh anih taengah a thui pah hmuen la Israel manghai a tueih vaengah tah a thuituen phoeiah khaw a thuituen dongah a tuem uh te vai bueng pawt tih hnavoei bueng bal moenih.
11 And the heart of the King of Aram was troubled for this thing: therefore he called his seruants and saide vnto them, Will ye not shewe me, which of vs bewrayeth our counsel to the king of Israel?
Hekah ol soah Aram manghai kah lungbuei tah thikthuek coeng. A sal rhoek te a khue tih amih te, “Kai taengah na puen uh mah nim? Mamih khui lamloh he Israel manghai taengla aka puen te unim?” a ti nah.
12 Then one of his seruants saide, None, my lorde, O King, but Elisha the Prophet that is in Israel, telleth the King of Israel, euen the wordes that thou speakest in thy priuie chamber.
Tedae a sal rhoek khuikah pakhat loh, “Moenih, ka boei manghai aw, Israel ah tonghma Elisha om ta, na imkhui ah thingkong dongah na thui ol khaw Israel manghai taengla puen ta,” a ti nah.
13 And he said, Goe, and espie where he is, that I may sende and fetch him. And one tolde him, saying, Beholde, he is in Dothan.
Te dongah, “Cet uh, anih te melam nim so uh, hlang ka tueih saeh lamtah anih ka tu eh?,” a ti nah. Tedae a taengla puen tih, “Dothan ah om ke,” a ti nah.
14 So he sent thither horses, and charets, and a mightie hoste: and they came by night, and compassed the citie.
Te lam te marhang neh leng neh tatthai muep a tueih. Khoyin ah a paan uh tih khopuei te pin a vael uh.
15 And when the seruant of the man of God arose earely to goe out, beholde, an hoste compassed the citie with horses and charets. Then his seruant sayde vnto him, Alas master, howe shall we doe?
Pathen kah hlang aka bongyong te thoo tih, pai tih, a tawn uh vaengah tah caem loh khopuei te marhang neh leng neh tarha ana vael. Te dongah a tueihyoeih loh Elisha te, “Ka boeipa aw, metlam n'saii eh?” a ti nah.
16 And he answered, Feare not: for they that be with vs, are moe then they that be with them.
Tedae, “Rhih boeh, mamih taengkah he amih taengkah lakah yet,” a ti nah.
17 Then Elisha prayed, and saide, Lord, I beseech thee, open his eyes, that he may see. And the Lord opened the eyes of the seruant, and he looked, and beholde, the mountaine was full of horses and charets of fyre round about Elisha.
Elisha te thangthui tih, “BOEIPA aw, a mik he tueng sak mai lamtah hmu van saeh,” a ti nah. Te dongah BOEIPA loh tueihyoeih kah mik te a tueng sak tih tlang kah marhang, leng a bae neh Elisha kaepvai kah hmai te kak a hmuh.
18 So they came downe to him, but Elisha prayed vnto the Lord, and said, Smite this people, I pray thee, with blindnesse. And he smote them with blindnes, according to the worde of Elisha.
Anih taengla a suntlak uh vaengah Elisha te BOEIPA taengah thangthui tih, “Hekah namtom he mikdael neh ngawn laeh,” a ti nah. Te dongah amih te Elisha ol bangla mikdael neh a ngawn.
19 And Elisha said vnto them, This is not the way, neither is this the citie: follow me, and I will leade you to the man whome ye seeke. But he ledde them to Samaria.
Te vaengah Elisha loh amih te, “He he longpuei moenih, he he khopuei bal moenih. Kai hnuk ham vai uh lamtah na tlap uh hlang taengla nangmih te kan thak eh?,” a ti nah. Te phoeiah amih te Samaria la a thak.
20 And when they were come to Samaria, Elisha saide, Lord, open their eyes that they may see. And the Lord opened their eyes, and they saw, and beholde, they were in the mids of Samaria.
Amih te Samaria la a kun van neh Elisha loh, “BOEIPA amih mik he tueng sak lamtah hmu uh saeh,” a ti. BOEIPA loh amih mik te a tueng sak tih a hmuh uh vaengah Samaria khui la tarha a pawk pah.
21 And the King of Israel sayde vnto Elisha when he sawe them, My father, shall I smite them, shall I smite them?
Amih te a hmuh vaengah Israel manghai loh Elisha te, “A pa ka ngawn la ka ngawn aya?” a ti nah.
22 And he answered, Thou shalt not smite them: doest thou not smite them that thou hast taken with thy sworde, and with thy bowe? but set bread and water before them, that they may eate and drinke and goe to their master.
Tedae, “Ngawn boeh, na cunghang neh na lii neh na sol te nim na ngawn eh? Amih mikhmuh ah buh neh tui khaw tawn pah, a caak a ok uh phoeiah a boei rhoek taengla mael uh saeh,” a ti nah.
23 And he made great preparation for them: and when they had eaten and drunken, he sent them away: and they went to their master. So ye bands of Aram came no more into the land of Israel.
Te dongah amih ham buhloei muep a tael pah tih a caak a ok uh phoeiah amih te a tueih. A boei rhoek taengla a mael uh phoeiah tah Aram caem te Israel khohmuen la mop ham khoep uh voel pawh.
24 But afterward Ben-hadad King of Aram gathered all his hoste, and went vp, and besieged Samaria.
Te phoeiah pataeng Aram manghai Benhadad loh amah kah caem boeih te a coi. Te phoeiah cet tih Samaria te a dum.
25 So there was a great famine in Samaria: for loe, they besieged it vntill an asses head was at foure score pieces of siluer, and the fourth part of a kab of doues doung at fiue pieces of siluer.
Te dongah Samaria ah khokha la muep pai. Amih taengah laak lu pakhat te tangka sawmrhet neh, vahui aek pataeng, vahui aek boem pali he tangka phik nga la a om pha hil a dum uh.
26 And as the King of Israel was going vpon the wall, there cryed a woman vnto him, saying, Helpe, my lord, O King.
Te tlam te a om vaengah Israel manghai te vongtung dongah a pongpa vaengah a taengah huta pakhat pang tih, “Ka boei manghai aw n'khang lah,” a ti nah.
27 And he said, Seeing the Lord doeth not succour thee, howe shoulde I helpe thee with the barne, or with the wine presse?
Tedae, “BOEIPA loh nang n'khang pawt atah me lamkah nim? Cangtilhmuen lamkah nim? va-am lamkah nim nang kang khang eh?” a ti nah.
28 Also the King said vnto her, What ayleth thee? And she answered, This woman sayde vnto me, Giue thy sonne, that we may eate him to day, and we will eate my sonne to morowe,
Te phoeiah manghai loh anih te, “Nang te balae?” a ti nah hatah, “He huta loh kai taengah, 'Na capa te m'pae lamtah tihnin ah ca sih, thangvuen ah kai capa he n'caak bitni,’ a ti.
29 So we sod my sonne, and did eate him: and I saide to her the day after, Giue thy sonne, that we may eate him, but she hath hid her sonne.
Te dongah kai capa te ka thong rhoi tih ka caak rhoi. Tedae hnin at ah tah anih te, 'Na capa te m'pae lamtah ca van pawn sih,’ ka ti nah hatah a capa te a thuh,” a ti nah.
30 And when the King had heard the wordes of the woman, he rent his clothes, (and as he went vpon the wall, the people looked, and behold, he had sackecloth within vpon his flesh)
Huta ol te manghai loh a yaak van neh a himbai te a phen. Amah khaw vongtung dongah a caeh doela pilnam a sawt vaengah a pum dongkah tlamhni te a khui hil tarha a hmuh.
31 And he saide, God doe so to me and more also, if the head of Elisha the sonne of Shaphat shall stande on him this day.
Te dongah, “Tihnin ah anih soah Shaphat capa Elisha kah lu te a om pueng atah Pathen loh kai he n'rhaem saeh lamtah n'talh van saeh,” a ti.
32 (Nowe Elisha sate in his house, and the Elders sate with him.) And the King sent a man before him: but before the messenger came to him, he saide to the Elders, See ye not howe this murtherers sonne hath sent to take away mine head? take heede when the messenger commeth, and shut the doore and handle him roughly at the doore: is not the sounde of his masters feete behinde him?
Elisha te amah im ah ngol tih a taengah a ham rhoek ngol uh. Te vaengah a mikhmuh ah hlang a tueih pah dae anih taengla puencawn a pha hlan ah amah loh a ham rhoek te, “Hlang ngawn capa a tueih te na hmuh uh nama? So uh kai lu aka tloek ham ni ke. Puencawn ha pawk hlan ah thohkhaih te khai uh lamtah anih te thohkhaih neh nen thiluh. A hnuk kah te a boei kholaeh ol pawt nim?” a ti nah.
33 While he yet talked with them, beholde, the messenger came downe vnto him, and saide, Behold, this euill commeth of the Lord: should I attende on the Lord any longer?
Amih te a voek li vaengah puencawn khaw anih taengla pakcak suntla tih, “Boethae he BOEIPA taeng lamkah ni he, balae tih BOEIPA te n'ngaiuep voel eh?” a ti.
