1 Kings 21
1 And it came to pass after these things, that Naboth the Jezreelite had a vineyard, which was in Jezreel, hard by the palace of Ahab, king of Samaria.
He hno he a om phoeiah, Jezreel kah Samaria manghai Ahab bawkim taengah Jezreel Naboth kah misurdum om.
2 And Ahab spoke unto Naboth, saying: 'Give me thy vineyard, that I may have it for a garden of herbs, because it is near unto my house; and I will give thee for it a better vineyard than it; or, if it seem good to thee, I will give thee the worth of it in money.'
Te dongah Ahab loh Naboth te, “Na misurdum te kai taengah m'pae lamtah, ka im neh a yoei ah kai ham toi-an dum la om saeh. Te yueng la nang taengah te lakah aka then misurdum khaw na mik ah aka then kam paek bitni. A phu la nang te tangka khaw kam paek bitni,” a ti nah.
3 And Naboth said to Ahab: 'The LORD forbid it me, that I should give the inheritance of my fathers unto thee.'
Naboth loh Ahab te, “A pa rhoek kah rho nang taengla kam paek ham he, kamah lamkah neh BOEIPA lamlong khaw savisava,” a ti nah.
4 And Ahab came into his house sullen and displeased because of the word which Naboth the Jezreelite had spoken to him; for he had said: 'I will not give thee the inheritance of my fathers.' And he laid him down upon his bed, and turned away his face, and would eat no bread.
Jezreel Naboth loh anih te a voek tih, “A pa rhoek kah rho he nang taengla kam pae mahpawh,” a ti nah ol dongah Ahab khaw a im te rhihnun cukduk neh thintoek la a pha. A baiphaih dongah a yalh neh a maelhmai a bueng tih buh khaw ca pawh.
5 But Jezebel his wife came to him, and said unto him: 'Why is thy spirit so sullen, that thou eatest no bread?'
A yuu Jezebel te a taengla a pawk pah vaengah tah anih te, “Na mueihla he metlam a rhihnun cukduk tih buh na caak pawh,” a ti nah.
6 And he said unto her: 'Because I spoke unto Naboth the Jezreelite, and said unto him: Give me thy vineyard for money; or else, if it please thee, I will give thee another vineyard for it; and he answered: I will not give thee my vineyard.'
Jezebel te, “Jezreel Naboth te ka voek tih amah taengah, ‘Na misurdum te kai taengah tangka la han yoi mai. Na huem mak atah a yueng misurdum khaw nang te kam paek bitni,’ ka ti nah. Tedae, ‘Ka misurdum te nang taengah kam pae mahpawh,’ a ti,” a ti nah.
7 And Jezebel his wife said unto him: 'Dost thou now govern the kingdom of Israel? arise, and eat bread, and let thy heart be merry; I will give thee the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite.'
Te dongah anih te a yuu Jezebel loh, “Nang he Israel soah mangpa khaw na bi coeng ta. Thoo, buh ca lamtah na lungbuei voelphoeng sak. Kai loh Jezreel Naboth kah misurdum te nang ham kang khueh bitni,” a ti nah.
8 So she wrote letters in Ahab's name, and sealed them with his seal, and sent the letters unto the elders and to the nobles that were in his city, and that dwelt with Naboth.
Te phoeiah Ahab ming neh cabu a daek tih a kutbuen neh a daeng thil. Cabu dongkah ca te a ham rhoek taengah neh a khopuei kah Naboth taengah kho aka sa hlangcoelh taengla a pat.
9 And she wrote in the letters, saying: 'Proclaim a fast, and set Naboth at the head of the people;
Cabu khuikah a daek dongah, “Yaehnah te khue uh lamtah Naboth te pilnam kah a lu la ngol saeh.
10 and set two men, base fellows, before him, and let them bear witness against him, saying: Thou didst curse God and the king. And then carry him out, and stone him, that he die.'
Anih hmai ah aka muen ca rhoi hlang panit ngol saeh. Te vaengah anih te hih saeh lamtah, ‘Pathen neh manghai yoethen pae nawn,’ ti nah saeh lamtah khuen saeh. Te phoeiah anih te dae lamtah duek saeh,” a ti nah.
11 And the men of his city, even the elders and the nobles who dwelt in his city, did as Jezebel had sent unto them, according as it was written in the letters which she had sent unto them.
A khopuei hlang a hamca rhoek neh a khopuei khuikah khosa hlangcoelh rhoek long khaw Jezebel loh amih ham cabu neh a daek tih amih taengla a pat dongkah a uen bangla a saii uh.
12 They proclaimed a fast, and set Naboth at the head of the people.
Yaehnah te a hoe uh tih Naboth te pilnam kah a lu la a ngol sak uh.
13 And the two men, the base fellows, came in and sat before him; and the base fellows bore witness against him, even against Naboth, in the presence of the people, saying: 'Naboth did curse God and the king.' Then they carried him forth out of the city, and stoned him with stones, that he died.
Te vaengah hlang muen ca rhoi te ha pawk tih anih hmai ah ngol rhoi van. Hlang muen rhoi loh Naboth te pilnam hmai ah a laipai thil rhoi tih, “Naboth loh Pathen neh manghai yoethen a paek oe,” a ti rhoi. Te phoeiah tah khopuei vongvoel la a khuen uh tih lungto neh a dae uh dongah Naboth te duek.
14 Then they sent to Jezebel, saying: 'Naboth is stoned, and is dead.'
Te phoeiah Jezebel taengla a tueih uh tih, “Naboth a dae uh tih duek coeng,” a ti nah.
15 And it came to pass, when Jezebel heard that Naboth was stoned, and was dead, that Jezebel said to Ahab: 'Arise, take possession of the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite, which he refused to give thee for money; for Naboth is not alive, but dead.'
Naboth a dae uh tih a duek te Jezebel loh a yaak van neh Jezebel long khaw Ahab taengah, “Thoo, Jezreel Naboth kah misurdum te pang laeh. Nang taengah tangka la paek ham khaw a aal dongah Naboth hing pawt tih duek coeng,” a ti nah.
16 And it came to pass, when Ahab heard that Naboth was dead, that Ahab rose up to go down to the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite, to take possession of it.
Naboth a duek te Ahab loh a yaak neh Ahab mah khaw thoo tih Jezreel Naboth kah misurdum te pang ham suntla.
17 And the word of the LORD came to Elijah the Tishbite, saying:
Te vaengah BOEIPA ol te Tishbi Elijah taengla pawk tih,
18 'Arise, go down to meet Ahab king of Israel, who dwelleth in Samaria; behold, he is in the vineyard of Naboth, whither he is gone down to take possession of it.
“Thoo, Samaria kah Israel manghai Ahab doe la suntla laeh. Naboth kah misurdum pang hamla suntla lako ke.
19 And thou shalt speak unto him, saying: Thus saith the LORD: Hast thou killed, and also taken possessions? and thou shalt speak unto him, saying: Thus saith the LORD: In the place where dogs licked the blood of Naboth shall dogs lick thy blood, even thine.'
Anih te thui pah lamtah, ‘BOEIPA loh he ni a thui. Na ngawn tih na pang bal nama?’ ti nah. Te phoeiah anih te thui pah lamtah, ‘BOEIPA loh he ni a thui. Naboth thii ui loh a laeh nah hmuen ah nang khaw na thii te ui loh a laeh van ni,’ ti nah,” a ti nah.
20 And Ahab said to Elijah: 'Hast thou found me, O mine enemy?' And he answered: 'I have found thee; because thou hast given thyself over to do that which is evil in the sight of the LORD.
Ahab loh Elijah te, “Kai he ‘Ka thunkha’ la nan hmuh nama?” a ti nah. Te dongah, “BOEIPA mik ah boethae saii ham namah na yoih uh dongah kam hmuh mah ta.
21 Behold, I will bring evil upon thee, and will utterly sweep thee away, and will cut off from Ahab every man-child, and him that is shut up and him that is left at large in Israel.
Kai loh nang soah boethae kang khuen rhoe kang khuen coeng he. Namah hnukah kan dom sak vetih pangbueng aka yun thil khaw, Israel khuikah a khoh neh a hnoo khaw Ahab taeng lamloh ka saii ni.
22 And I will make thy house like the house of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, and like the house of Baasa the son of Ahijah, for the provocation wherewith thou hast provoked Me, and hast made Israel to sin.
Israel te konoinah ham na veet tih na tholh sak dongah nang imkhui te Nebat capa Jeroboam imkhui bangla, Ahijah capa Baasha imkhui bangla kang khueh ni.
23 And of Jezebel also spoke the LORD, saying: The dogs shall eat Jezebel in the moat of Jezreel.
BOEIPA loh Jezebel kawng khaw a thui tih, ‘Jezebel te Jezreel rhalmahvong ah ui loh a sok ni,’ a ti.
24 Him that dieth of Ahab in the city the dogs shall eat; and him that dieth in the field shall the fowls of the air eat.'
Ahab lamkah he khopuei ah aka duek te ui loh a caak vetih kohong ah aka duek te vaan kah vaa loh a caak ni.
25 But there was none like unto Ahab, who did give himself over to do that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, whom Jezebel his wife stirred up.
BOEIPA mik ah boethae saii ham amah aka yoi uh Ahab bang he a om moenih. Anih he a yuu Jezebel loh a vueh bal.
26 And he did very abominably in following idols, according to all that the Amorites did, whom the LORD cast out before the children of Israel.
BOEIPA loh Israel ca rhoek mikhmuh lamkah a haek Amori loh a cungkuem la a saii mueirhol hnukah a pongpa te bahoeng a tuei,” a ti nah.
27 And it came to pass, when Ahab heard those words, that he rent his clothes, and put sackcloth upon his flesh, and fasted, and lay in sackcloth, and went softy.
Ahab loh he ol he a yaak van neh a himbai te a phen tih a pumsa dongah tlamhni a bai, a yaeh neh tlamhni dongah yalh tih yuepyuep cet.
28 And the word of the LORD came to Elijah the Tishbite, saying:
Te vaengah Tishbi Elijah taengah BOEIPA ol ha pawk tih,
29 'Seest thou how Ahab humbleth himself before Me? because he humbleth himself before Me, I will not bring the evil in his days; but in his son's days will I bring the evil upon his house.'
“Ka mikhmuh ah Ahab a kunyun ke na hmuh nama? Ka mikhmuh ah a kunyun bangla amah tue ah yoethae ka khuen rhoe ka khuen pah mahpawh. A capa tue vaengah tah a imkhui ah yoethae ka khuen pah ni,” a ti nah.
