1 Kings 20
1 And Ben-hadad the king of Syria assembled all his host together: and thirty and two kings were with him, and horses, and chariots; and he went up and besieged Samaria, and made war against it.
Hiche phatlai sung hin, Syria lengpa Benhadad in asepaite jouse akomin chuleh leng somthum le nin asakol holeh akangtalai jouse pumin apanhun, hiti hin Benhadad chu Samaria sat din akitol’un, Israelte khopi kulpi Samaria chu aum uvin gal in anokhum tauvin ahi.
2 And he sent messengers to Achab the king of Israel into the city;
Benhadad in Israel lengpa Ahab hengah mi asollin, thu ana thot in, “Hiche Benhadad kiti pan kasei ahi,
3 And he said unto him, Thus hath said Ben-hadad, Thy silver and thy gold are mine; thy wives also and thy children, even the best, are mine.
Na insunga na sana leh na dangka chuleh najite le nachate apha lai chengse chu keiya hidiu ahitai,” agatisah tai.
4 And the king of Israel answered and said, According to thy word, my Lord, O king, thine am I, and all that I have.
Chunin Israel lengpan adonbut in, “Kapu lengpan nasei ho chu adih soh keije kanei jouse hi nanga ahi,” ati.
5 And the messengers returned, and said, Thus hath said Ben-hadad, to say [to thee], I have indeed sent unto thee, saying, Thou shalt give unto me thy silver, and thy gold, and thy wives, and thy children;
Benhadad in gangtah in adonbutna thu chu athot kit in, “Hiche Benhadad keima thuthot ahi, na sana leh na dangka chu leh naji na chate neipeh ding ahi tia, thu kapehsa nahitai.
6 Nevertheless, about this time tomorrow will I send my servants unto thee, and they shall search through thy house, and the houses of thy servants; and it shall be, that whatsoever is pleasant in thy eyes, they shall place it in their hand, and take it away.
Ahinlah, jing nikho tuphat tah leh, naleng inpi le navaipote in jouse khol’a thil manlua agel jouseu kilah dia kavaipote kahinsol ding ahi,” agatisah kit in ahi.
7 Then did the king of Israel call for all the elders of the land, and said, Mark, I pray you, and see that this man seeketh mischief; for he hath sent unto me for my wives, and for my children, and for my silver, and for my gold, and I have not refused them to him.
Hiche jou chun Ahab in agamsung upa chingthei ho jouse akhomin, amaho koma chun, “Veuvin hichepa hin eisuboi lheh jeng un ahi! Aman aki ngeh bangin keiman ka sana leh ka dangka chu leh kaji ka chate chu kana phalpeh tan ahi,” ati.
8 And all the elders and all the people said unto him, Thou must not hearken, nor consent.
Amipite leh upa chingthei ho chun, “Hiche kal val chun imacha phalpeh tahih in,” atipeh un ahi.
9 Wherefore he said unto the messengers of Ben-hadad, Say to my lord the king, all that thou didst send for to thy servant at the first will I do; but this thing I am not able to do. And the messengers went away, and brought him word again.
Hichun Ahab in Benhadad sottol le ho koma chun, “Kapu lengpa koma chun hiti hin seipeh tauvin, amasa’a nathil ngeh ho chu ka phalpeh jeng e, ahinlah tua achaina’a nathil ngeh hovang hi kasang theipoi,” ati. Hiti chun sottole ho chun hiche thu chu apo uvin Benhadad hengah akile tauvin ahi.
10 And Ben-hadad then sent unto him, and said, May the gods do so unto me, and continue to do so, if the dust of Samaria shall suffice for handfuls for all the people that are in my train.
Hichun Benhadad in Ahab chu hiti hin thu athot kit’e, “Keiman na khopi Samaria hi vogoihel’a ahalsi sia khut’a choidoh kham mihem kahin puilut ding kasuhmang ding ahi. Hichu kaboldoh lou le ka hou pathenten eithat jeng hen!” ati.
11 And the king of Israel answered and said, Speak, Let him that girdeth on the armor not boast himself as he that putteth it off.
Israel lengpa Ahab in ahin donbut in, “Galmun’a galsat dia sepai khat in a chemjam akipoh nung’a, galsat chaisa ho ham hoithoa thucheng chu bol ngai ahipoi, tin seipeh un,” ati.
12 And it came to pass, when he heard this message, as he was drinking, he and the kings in the pavilions, that he said unto his servants, Get ready for the attack. And they got ready for the attack against the city.
Benhadad leh apanpi leng dangho toh, ponbuh sunga ju ana donlai tah'un, Ahab donbutna thucheng chu aja tauvin ahi. Hichun Benhadad chun asepaite kom’ah galsat din kigo uvintin thu ape tan ahi. Hijeh chun khopi chu nokhum dingin akigo tauvin ahi.
13 And, behold, there approached a certain prophet unto Achab the king of Israel, and said, Thus hath said the Lord, Hast thou seen all this great multitude? behold, I will deliver it into thy hand this day; and thou shalt know that I am the Lord.
Hiche kah lah chun, themgao khat Israel lengpa Ahab kimupi din achen, “Pakaiyin hiti hin thu aseiye, ‘Hiche galmi hon tamtah hokhu numu am? Tunia amaho khu nangma khutna ka pehdoh ding chule galjona na nei ding ahi. Hiteng chuleh nangman keima hi Pakai kitipa chu kahi nei hetdoh ding ahi,” ati.
14 And Achab said, By whom? And he said, Thus hath said the Lord, By means of the young men of the princes of the provinces. Then said he, Who shall order the battle? And he said, Thou.
Hichun Ahab in, “Ipiti ahinbol ding ham?” tin adong in ahi. Chuin themgaopa chun ahin donbut in, “Gambih vaipo ho noija khangthah hon abol diu ahi,” atin ahile, Ahab in, “Keihon kasat masat diu ham?” tin adongkit in ahile, thempupan, “Henge nanghon nasat masat diu ahi,” ati
15 He then numbered the young men of the princes of the provinces, and they were two hundred and thirty-two: and after them he numbered all the people, all the children of Israel, seven thousand strong.
Hichun Ahab in gambih vaipo ho chu asimtoh leh, mi jani le somthum le ni ahiuvin ahi. Chujouvin Israel sepai jouse chu asimtoh leh sang sagi alhing in ahi.
16 And they went out at midday; while Ben-hadad was drinking himself drunk in the pavilions, he and the kings, the thirty and two kings that helped him.
Sunkim dontah chun, Benhadad leh aki loipi Leng som le ni hochun aponbuh sung uvah ju anadon khom’un ahi.
17 And the young men of the princes of the provinces went out at first; and Ben-hadad sent out, and they told him, saying, Some men are come out of Samaria.
Hichun gambih lamkaiho chu khopi sunga kon chun ahung kitoldoh masapen un ahileh, Benhadad sepai ho chun akom a Samaria konin sepai phabep ahung kitol doh uve atin ahileh,
18 And he said, If they be come out for peace, catch them alive; and if they be come out for war, alive must ye catch them.
Benhadad in, “Amaho chu chamna a hung hiu hen lang, galsat dinga hung hi jong leu ahing in man poupouvin,” ati.
19 So these, the young men of the princes of the provinces, came out of the city, with the army which followed them.
Ahinlah sepaite apumpi ahin, gambih lamkaiho ahin, abon’un galsat dingin ahung kondoh tauvin ahi.
20 And they slew every one his man; and the Syrians fled, and Israel pursued them: and Ben-hadad the king of Syria escaped on a horse with the horsemen.
Israel sepaite chun Syria sepai akimaitopi cheh u athat’un ahile, Syria sepaiho chu ati’u ajan, ajam mang gam tauvin ahi. Hichun Israelten anungdel’un ahileh Benhadad lengpa leh sakol kangtalaiya touthem phabep chu anajam doh man’un ahi.
21 And the king of Israel went out, and smote the horses and chariots, and inflicted on the Syrians a great defeat.
Ahiyeng vang'in, Israel lengpa chun Syria sakol dang holeh sakol kangtalai ho chu ana ban suhmang peh tan ahi.
22 And the prophet approached unto the king of Israel, and said unto him, Go, strengthen thyself, and mark, and see what thou hast to do; for at the return of the year the king of Syria will come up against thee.
Phat chomkhat jouvin themgaopa chun, Ahab Lengpa kom ah, “Na hung nokhum kit di’u ahin kigingphan, Syria lengpa chun khovei chavang phatleh hung kit ding ahi hijeh chun thilho kigontoh in,” ati.
23 And the servants of the king of Syria said unto him, Gods of the mountains are their gods; therefore they prevailed over us; but let us fight against them in the plain, [and see] whether we shall not prevail over them.
Agal-lal jou nung in, agal lamkai hon Benhadad jah’a, “Israelte Pathen hi thinglhang gam Pathen ahiuve, hijeh achu thinglhanga eijo’u ahi. Phaicham a kisatpi leuhen bailamtah a gal ijo jeng diu ahi,” atiuve.
24 But do this thing, Remove the kings, every one from his place, and appoint governors in their rooms;
“Hiche chung’a a bou hin leng ho athunei nauva konin haisah in lang, akhel in sepai lamkai ho pansah in,” atiuve.
25 And thou, number for thyself an army, like the army that thou hast lost, horse for horse, and chariot for chariot: and we will fight against them in the plain, [and see] whether we shall prevail over them. And he hearkened unto their voice, and did so.
“Sepai alhasam jat hi subulhing kit’in, sepaite sakol leh kangtalai te atil ajat maman subulhing kit in, chuteng leh phaicham ah kisatpi leu veng kajo teidiu ahi,” atiuve. Hitichun Benhadad in jong angaichat bang’un abolpeh soh tan ahi.
26 And it came to pass at the return of the year, that Ben-hadad numbered the Syrians, and went up to Aphek, to the war with Israel.
A kumkit chavang lai ahiphat in, Syria sepaite asemtoh sohkeiyin Israelte kisatpi dingin tuchung hin Aphek lang jon tauvin ahi.
27 And the children of Israel were numbered, and provisioned, and went [out] against them: and the children of Israel encamped opposite to them like two little flocks of goats; but the Syrians filled the country.
Isrtaelte jong aki semtoh un, neh leh chah jong hoitah’in akigon toh’un, galsat dingin ahung kitol tauve in ahi. Ahinlah Israel sepaite alhomdan uchu, kelcha hon lhomcha ni kijotna toh abang un ahi. Syria sepaite vang chu gamsung pumpi adim lha jeng un ahi.
28 And there approached the man of God, and spoke unto the king of Israel, and said, Thus hath said the Lord, Forasmuch as the Syrians have said, “A God of the hills is the Lord, but he is not God of the valleys”: will I deliver all this great multitude into thy hand; and ye shall know that I am the Lord.
Hichun Pathen mipa chun Israel lengpa kom’ah achen, “Pakaiyin hiti hin aseiye, Syria sepaiten hiti hin aseiyun ahi, a Pakai’u khu thinglhang Pathen ahin, phaicham Pathen ahipoi. Hijeh chun hiche sepai tamtah tehi kajopeh diu ahi, chutengleh nang hon Pakai kahi chu nei het doh dio ahi,” ati.
29 And they encamped one opposite the other for seven days. And it happened, that on the seventh day the battle took place: and the children of Israel smote the Syrians a hundred thousand men on foot in one day.
Hiche galmi teni hin nisagi sungin kimai ngat ton ngahmun akisem’un, anaum un ahi. Ni sagi lhin nin akisat to pan tauvin ahi. Israelten nikhat sungin Syriate keng sepai hochu sang jakhat anathat’un ahi.
30 But those that were left fled to Aphek, into the city; but the city-wall fell upon the twenty and seven thousand men that had been left. And Ben-hadad fled, and came into the city, into an innermost chamber.
Adangse chu Aphek khopi sung’ah ajamlut un ahi, ahin akulpi pal’u chu ahin chimkhum un ahile, mi sang somni le sagi jen athiuvin ahi. Benhadad chu khopi sung’a ajam lut’in, indan sung nung khat’ah akisel tan ahi.
31 And his servants said unto him, Behold now, we have heard that the kings of the house of Israel are kindly kings; let us, we pray thee, put sackcloth on our loins, and ropes upon our heads, and go out to the king of Israel; peradventure he may save thy life.
Benhadad sepai lamkai hon akom’ah, “Hepu Israel lengte hi mikhoto athem un ahi, hijeh chun eihon khaodip pon i-taibuh uva kiveiju hitin, i-luchang uva khaohol kiveiju hitin chuteng leh Israel lengpa henga chun, ga lut jeng tem uhite, ajeh chu ama khun na hinghoi jeng maithei ahi,” atiuve.
32 So they girded sackcloth on their loins, and ropes on their heads, and came to the king of Israel, and said, Thy servant Ben-hadad hath said, I pray thee, let me live. And he said, Is he yet alive? he is my brother.
Hijeh chun amahon ataibuh dung’uva khaodip pon akiveijun, aluchung uva khaohol aki khu uvin, Israel lengpa henga chun acheuvin, “Nasohpa Benhadad chun aseijin, na heng’a kahung tao ahi, neihing hoi tei teijin,” atin tin asei tauve. Hichun Ahab chun adong in, “Benhadad chu hing na lai ham? Ama chu ka sopipa ahibouve,” ati tai.
33 Now the men took it for a good sign, and hastened and caught at his word, whether it was his earnest; and they said, Thy brother Ben-hadad! But he said, Go ye, bring him. Then came Ben-hadad forth to him; and he caused him to come up into the chariot.
Benhadad sepaiten Ahab’in asei chu thilpha ahi tin akilah un, gantah in, “Henge, na sopipa Benhadad ahi,” atiuvin aban ipi ahinsei em ti angah un ahile, Ahab in amaho jah’a chun, “Cheuvin lang, hinpuidoh un,” ati. Chuin Benhadad ahunglhun phat’in, Ahab in a kangtalai chung’ah akaldoh sah in ahi.
34 And he said unto him, The cities, which my father took from thy father, will I restore; and thou canst lay out for thyself streets in Damascus, as my father laid out in Samaria. “And I for my part will send thee away with this covenant.” So he made a covenant with him, and sent him away.
Hichun Benhadad in Ahab jah’a, “Kapan napa akona ana lahpeh khopi ho jouse chu abonchan keiman nangma nale kit tang’e, chule nangman kapa in Samaria khopi sung’a abolna bang bangin nangin jong, Damascus khopi sunga kai-lhang tampi na semdoh thei ahi,” ati. Chuin Ahab in, “Hitobang ding chun kenjong nangma nalha tang’e,” atin ahi. Hiti chun Ahab in Benhadad chutoh kitepna asem tan, ama jong alhadoh tai.
35 And a certain man of the sons of the prophets said unto his companion, By the word of the Lord, smite me, I pray thee. But the man refused to smite him.
Pakaiyin themgao hon lah’a mikhat chu midang khat kom’ah thu aseisah in, “Nei sat’in,” ati. Ahin mipa chun themngaopa sat ding chun anompoi.
36 Then said he unto him, Forasmuch as thou hast not obeyed the voice of the Lord, behold, when thou goest away from me, a lion shall slay thee. And he went away from him, when a lion found him, and slew him.
Hichun themgaopan ama komah, “Pakai Pathen thupeh nanit loujeh in, keima neidalhah lhah teng le sakeiyin natha ding ahitai,” ati. Hitichun agah dalhah leh keipi khat in athat tan ahi.
37 Then he met with another man, and said, Smite me, I pray thee. And the man smote him, smiting and wounding [him].
Hijouchun themgaopa chun midang chom khat komah, “Nei sat’in,” ati. Hichun themgaopa chu asat in, asattel jeng in ahi.
38 And the prophet then went, and placed himself before the king on the way, and disguised himself with a bandage over his eyes.
Hichun Themgaopan ponin mai akitom in, limput akhel’in, Israel lengpa hungna ding lampia ana ngah tan ahi.
39 And as the king passed by, he cried unto the king, and said, Thy servant went out into the midst of the battle; and, behold, a man turned aside, and brought unto me a man, and said, Guard this man; if by any means he be missing, then shall thy life be [forfeit] for his life, or else thou shalt weigh me down a talent of silver.
Lengpan ahung phat in themgaopan ahin kouvin, “Hepu keima gal kiha satna laitah’a chun kana jaovin, phulou helouvin mikhat in gal hing khat ahinkai jin, amapa hi phaten anaching tup’in, itiham khatna na lhaso’a ahileh nathi ding ahilouleh dangka talent khat naleu ding ahi, ahung ti,” tin aseipeh tan ahi.
40 But it happened as thy servant was Busy here and there, that he was gone. And the king of Israel said unto him, So is thy sentence: thou thyself hast decided it.
“Ahinlah keiman thilkhat bolla kakisahlal laitah in, amachu ana jamdoh tan ahi,” ati. Hichun lengpan, “Achutileh nangma thepmo hichula, nangman nachunga thutanna nakiluilut ahitai,” tin adonbut in ahi.
41 And he hastened, and removed the bandage from his eyes; and the king of Israel recognized him that he was one of the prophets.
Hichun themgaopa chun amit kitom chu ahin ladoh’in ahileh, lengpan themgao ho lah’a khat ahi tichu ahedoh tan ahi.
42 And he said unto him, Thus hath said the Lord, Because thou hast let go out of thy hand the man whom I had caught in my net, therefore shall thy life be the forfeit for his life, and thy people for his people.
Chuin Themgaopa chun, “Pakaiyin hitihin aseiye, keiman na suhmang ding ahi kati pachu nalhaso jeh in tua hi nangma amakhel’a nathi ding ahitai chuleh ama mite khel’a nangma mite thi diu ahitai,” ati.
43 And the king of Israel went to his house low-spirited and displeased, and he came to Samaria.
Hichun Israel lengpa chu lung hangtah leh maithim ketkut in a inlam ajon tan ahi.
