< 2 Kings 4 >

1 Now there cried a certain woman of the wives of the sons of the prophets unto Elisha, saying: 'Thy servant my husband is dead; and thou knowest that thy servant did fear the LORD; and the creditor is come to take unto him my two children to be bondmen.'
Tonghma koca rhoek yuu khui lamkah manu pakhat te Elisha taengah pang tih, “Na sal, kai va he duek coeng. Na ming bangla na sal te BOEIPA aka rhih la om. Tedae laibai aka suk loh ka ca rhoi he amah taengah sal la loh ham ha pawk coeng,” a ti nah.
2 And Elisha said unto her: 'What shall I do for thee? tell me; what hast thou in the house?' And she said: 'Thy handmaid hath not any thing in the house, save a pot of oil.'
Te dongah Elisha loh anih te, “Nang ham balae kan saii eh? Im ah namah ham banim aka om kai taengah thui lah,” a ti nah. Te vaengah, “Situi um bueng phoeiah tah na salnu ham he imkhui tom ah a tloe a om moenih,” a ti nah.
3 Then he said: 'Go, borrow thee vessels abroad of all thy neighbours, even empty vessels; borrow not a few.
Te phoeiah, “Cet, na imben tom lamkah neh a kaepvai lamkah am te namah ham dawt lah. Na imben kah am hoeng te hmaai boeh.
4 And thou shalt go in, and shut the door upon thee and upon thy sons, and pour out into all those vessels; and thou shalt set aside that which is full.'
Na kun neh thohkhaih te khai lamtah namah hlip neh na ca rhoi hlip ah he am boeih he koei, aka bae te rhoe,” a ti nah.
5 So she went from him, and shut the door upon her and upon her sons; they brought the vessels to her, and she poured out.
Anih taeng lamloh a nong phoeiah tah amah hnuk neh a ca rhoi hnuk ah thohkhaih te a kaih. A ca rhoi loh a taengla a tawn pah dongah a hlawn mai a hlawn mai.
6 And it came to pass, when the vessels were full, that she said unto her son: 'Bring me yet a vessel.' And he said unto her: 'There is not a vessel more.' And the oil stayed.
Am rhoek te a bae vaengah tah a capa te, “Kai taengla am koep han khuen,” a ti nah. Tedae anih te, “Am om voel pawh,” a ti nah vaengah situi khaw pat.
7 Then she came and told the man of God. And he said: 'Go, sell the oil, and pay thy debt, and live thou and thy sons of the rest.'
Te phoeiah cet tih Pathen kah hlang taengah a puen pah. Te daengah, “Cet, situi te yoi lamtah na laiba te na laiba bangla sah. A coih nen te namah khaw na ca rhoi khaw hing uh,” a ti nah.
8 And it fell on a day, that Elisha passed to Shunem, where was a great woman; and she constrained him to eat bread. And so it was, that as oft as he passed by, he turned in thither to eat bread.
Hnin at ah Elisha te Shunem la cet. Teah te huta hlangrhoei pakhat om tih Elisha te buh ca la a hloh. Te dongah a pha takuem ah buh ca la pahoi duem.
9 And she said unto her husband: 'Behold now, I perceive that this is a holy man of God, that passeth by us continually.
A va taengah, “Mah rhoi taengla aka pawk taitu te Pathen kah hlang cim la ka ming coeng he.
10 Let us make, I pray thee, a little chamber on the roof; and let us set for him there a bed, and a table, and a stool, and a candlestick; and it shall be, when he cometh to us, that he shall turn in thither.'
Imhman ah pangbueng ca saii sih lamtah anih ham baiphaih neh caboei khaw ngolkhoel neh hmaitung pahoi khueh pah sih. Mamih rhoi taengla amah ha pawk vaengah tah te ah te pah saeh,” a ti nah.
11 And it fell on a day, that he came thither, and he turned into the upper chamber and lay there.
Hnin at vaengah tah te lam te pawk tangloeng. Te vaengah imhman la kun tih pahoi yalh.
12 And he said to Gehazi his servant: 'Call this Shunammite.' And when he had called her, she stood before him.
Te phoeiah a tueihyoeih Gehazi te, “Shunam nu he khue lah,” a ti nah dongah anih te a khue pah tih a mikhmuh ah a pai pah.
13 And he said unto him: 'Say now unto her: Behold, thou hast been careful for us with all this care; what is to be done for thee? wouldest thou be spoken for to the king, or to the captain of the host?' And she answered: 'I dwell among mine own people.'
Gehazih taengah, “Huta te, 'He kah thuennah cungkuem dongah kaimih rhoi ham na lakueng coeng he. Nang ham balae kan saii eh? Manghai taeng neh caempuei mangpa taengah nang yueng la thui ham koi om a?' ti nah,” a ti nah. Tedae, “Kai tah ka pilnam lakli ah kho ka sak,” a ti nah.
14 And he said: 'What then is to be done for her?' And Gehazi answered: 'Verily she hath no son, and her husband is old.'
Te dongah, “Anih ham balae n'saii eh,” a ti nah. Te vaengah Gehazi loh, “Then, anih he ca a khueh moenih, a va khaw patong coeng,” a ti nah.
15 And he said: 'Call her.' And when he had called her, she stood in the door.
Te dongah, “Amah te khue lah,” a ti nah vanbangla amah te a khue pah tih thohka ah a pai pah.
16 And he said: 'At this season, when the time cometh round, thou shalt embrace a son.' And she said: 'Nay, my lord, thou man of God, do not lie unto thy handmaid.'
Te phoeiah, “Lomai tue kah khoning vaengah he nang te capa na kop ni,” a ti nah. Tedae, “Moenih, ka boei Pathen kah hlang aw, na salnu taengah laithae boeh,” a ti nah.
17 And the woman conceived, and bore a son at that season, when the time came round, as Elisha had said unto her.
Tedae huta te vawn tih lomai tue kah khoning vaengah tah Elisha loh anih taengah a thui bangla capa a cun.
18 And when the child was grown, it fell on a day, that he went out to his father to the reapers.
Camoe pantai tih hnin at ah tah a napa taengah cangat la cet.
19 And he said unto his father: 'My head, my head.' And he said to his servant: 'Carry him to his mother.'
Te vaengah a napa taengah, “Ka lu, ka lu,” a ti nah. Te dongah tueihyoeih pakhat taengah, “Anih he a manu taengla thak,” a ti nah.
20 And when he had taken him, and brought him to his mother, he sat on her knees till noon, and then died.
Anih te a phueih tih a manu taengla a pawk puei. Tedae khothun hil a manu khuklu dongah a ngol phoeiah duek.
21 And she went up, and laid him on the bed of the man of God, and shut the door upon him, and went out.
Te dongah cet tih camoe te Pathen hlang kah baiphaih dongah a yalh sak. Te phoeiah thoh a khaih thil tih khoe uh.
22 And she called unto her husband, and said: 'Send me, I pray thee, one of the servants, and one of the asses, that I may run to the man of God, and come back.'
A va te a khue tih, “Kai he tueihyoeih pakhat, laak pakhat han tueih mai. Te daengah ni Pathen kah hlang taengla ka yong vetih tatloe la ka mael eh?,” a ti nah.
23 And he said: Wherefore wilt thou go to him today? it is neither new moon nor sabbath.' And she said: 'It shall be well.'
Tedae, “Nang namah cing te anih taengah a balae tih na caeh khaw na caeh mai? Tihnin he hlasae moenih, Sabbath bal moenih,” a ti nah vaengah, “Ngaimong la,” a ti nah.
24 Then she saddled an ass, and said to her servant: 'Drive, and go forward; slacken me not the riding, except I bid thee.'
Laak te a ngoldoelh phoeiah tah a tueihyoeih te, “Vai lamtah cet laeh, nang taengah ngol ham ka thui hlan atah kai ham he uelh boeh,” a ti nah.
25 So she went, and came unto the man of God to mount Carmel. And it came to pass, when the man of God saw her afar off, that he said to Gehazi his servant: 'Behold, yonder is that Shunammite.
Cet tangloeng tih Karmel tlang kah Pathen hlang taengla la pawk. Pathen kah hlang loh anih te rhaldan ah a hmuh coeng tih a tueihyoeih Gehazi taengah, “Shunam nu la ke,
26 Run, I pray thee, now to meet her, and say unto her: Is it well with thee? is it well with thy husband? is it well with the child?' And she answered: 'It is well.'
Anih ke doe hamla yong laeh laeh. Anih te, 'Na sading a? Na va te a sading a? Camoe te a sading a?' ti nah,” a ti nah. Tedae huta loh, “Ka sading uh ngawn,” a ti nah.
27 And when she came to the man of God to the hill, she caught hold of his feet. And Gehazi came near to thrust her away; but the man of God said: 'Let her alone; for her soul is bitter within her; and the LORD hath hid it from me, and hath not told Me.'
Tlang kah Pathen hlang taengla a pha vaengah a kho te a kop pah. Gehazi loh anih te thaek ham thoeih dae Pathen kah hlang loh, “Anih te hlah laeh, anih ham tah a hinglu paep coeng dae BOEIPA loh kai ham a phah tih kai taengah thui pawh,” a ti nah.
28 Then she said: 'Did I desire a son of my lord? did I not say: Do not deceive me?'
Te phoeiah, “Ka boeipa taengah capa kam bih nim? Kai he m'phok boeh ka ti moenih a?” a ti nah.
29 Then he said to Gehazi: 'Gird up thy loins, and take my staff in thy hand, and go thy way; if thou meet any man, salute him not; and if any salute thee, answer him not; and lay my staff upon the face of the child.'
Gehazi te, “Na cinghen yen lamtah na kut dongah kai kah conghol he pom. Yong lamtah hlang loh m'hmuh a khaw uem boeh. Hlang loh nang ng'uem akhaw doo boeh. Ka conghol he camoe maelhmai ah tloeng pah,” a ti nah.
30 And the mother of the child said: 'As the LORD liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee.' And he arose, and followed her.
Tedae camoe kah a manu loh, “BOEIPA kah hingnah neh na hinglu kah hingnah bangla nang kan hlah mahpawh,” a ti nah. Te dongah thoo tih a hnukah a vai.
31 And Gehazi passed on before them, and laid the staff upon the face of the child; but there was neither voice, nor hearing. Wherefore he returned to meet him, and told him, saying: 'The child is not awaked.'
Gehazi tah amih rhoi hmai ah cet coeng tih conghol te camoe maelhmai ah a tloeng pah. Tedae ol om pawt tih hnatungnah khaw om pawh. Te dongah amah te doe hamla mael tih amah taengah a puen pah. “Camoe a haenghang moenih,” a ti nah.
32 And when Elisha was come into the house, behold, the child was dead, and laid upon his bed.
Elisha te im la a pawk vaengah tah camoe te anih kah baiphaih dongah a duek la tarha ana yalh pah.
33 He went in therefore, and shut the door upon them twain, and prayed unto the LORD.
Kun tih amah rhoi hnuk ah thohkhaih te a khaih phoeiah BOEIPA taengah thangthui.
34 And he went up, and lay upon the child, and put his mouth upon his mouth, and his eyes upon his eyes, and his hands upon his hands; and he stretched himself upon him; and the flesh of the child waxed warm.
Cet tih camoe soah a bakop thil. A ka neh a ka, a mik neh a mik, a kut rhoi khaw a kut neh a kut a ben. A soah a khup thil vaengah camoe kah pumsa te bae hang.
35 Then he returned, and walked in the house once to and fro; and went up, and stretched himself upon him; and the child sneezed seven times, and the child opened his eyes.
Koep mael tih imkhui ah he la vai, he la vai cet. Koep yoeng tih a soah a khup thil vaengah tah camoe te voei rhih ikthi. Te daengah camoe loh a mik te a dai.
36 And he called Gehazi, and said: 'Call this Shunammite.' So he called her. And when she was come in unto him, he said: 'Take up thy son.'
Gehazi te a khue tih, “Shunam nu te khue laeh,” a ti nah. Anih te a khue tih a taengla a pawk pah vaengah tah, “Na capa he poeh laeh,” a ti nah.
37 Then she went in, and fell at his feet, and bowed down to the ground; and she took up her son, and went out.
Anih te kun tih Elisha kah kho kung ah a yalh pah phoeih diklai la a bakop pah. Te phoeiah a capa te a loh tih cet.
38 And Elisha came again to Gilgal; and there was a dearth in the land; and the sons of the prophets were sitting before him; and he said unto his servant: 'Set on the great pot, and seethe pottage for the sons of the prophets.'
Elisha te Gilgal la a mael vaengah khohmuen ah khokha pai. Te vaengah a mikhmuh ah tonghma ca rhoek a ngol pah dongah a tueihyoeih taengah, “Am len khueng lamtah tonghma ca rhoek ham andam thong pah,” a ti nah.
39 And one went out into the field to gather herbs, and found a wild vine, and gathered thereof wild gourds his lap full, and came and shred them into the pot of pottage; for they knew them not.
Te dongah pakhat te lohma ah an yoep la cet. Te vaengah kohong sulyam a hmuh tih kohong hava thaih khaw a himbai a bae la a yoep. A mael vaengah andam am khuila a laep thil te ming uh pawh.
40 So they poured out for the men to eat. And it came to pass, as they were eating of the pottage, that they cried out, and said: 'O man of God, there is death in the pot.' And they could not eat thereof.
Te phoeiah tah hlang rhoek loh a caak ham te a thui pah. Tedae andam te a caak uh van neh amih te pang uh tih, “Pathen hlang kah am dongah dueknah om,” a ti uh. Te dongah a caak uh ham khaw coeng uh pawh.
41 But he said: 'Then bring meal.' And he cast it into the pot; and he said: 'Pour out for the people, that they may eat.' And there was no harm in the pot.
Te vaengah, “Vaidam lo uh dae,” a ti nah tih am khuiah a hlum phoeiah tah, “Pilnam ham thui pah laeh,” a ti nah. A caak uh vaengah am dongah a thae hno om voel pawh.
42 And there came a man from Baal-shalishah, and brought the man of God bread of the first-fruits, twenty loaves of barley, and fresh ears of corn in his sack. And he said: 'Give unto the people, that they may eat.'
Te phoeiah Baalshalisha lamkah hlang ha pawk tih Pathen hlang ham te thaihcuek buh la cangtun buh cun kul neh cangthai te a tolkhui dongah a khuen pah. Tedae, “Pilnam te pae lamtah ca uh saeh,” a ti nah.
43 And his servant said: 'How should I set this before a hundred men?' But he said: 'Give the people, that they may eat; for thus saith the LORD: They shall eat, and shall leave thereof.'
Te vaengah anih taengkah aka thotat rhoek loh, “Hlang yakhat kah mikhmuh ah he he metlam ka tawn eh?,” a ti nah. Tedae, “Pilnam taengah pae lamtah ca uh saeh. BOEIPA loh he ni a thui. A caak uh phoeiah coih bitni,” a ti nah.
44 So he set it before them, and they did eat, and left thereof, according to the word of the LORD.
