< 1 Kings 20 >
1 And Ben-Hadad king of Aram has gathered all his force, and thirty-two kings [are] with him, and horse and chariot, and he goes up and lays siege against Samaria, and fights with it,
Siria siangpahrang Benhadad ni, a ransanaw pueng a pâkhueng teh, siangpahrang 32 touh ahni koe ao. Marang hoi leng hoi a takhang awh teh, Samaria kho hah a kalup awh teh a tuk awh.
2 and sends messengers to Ahab king of Israel, to the city,
Isarel siangpahrang koe khopui thung patounenaw a patoun teh ahni koe Benhadad ni hettelah ati.
3 and says to him, “Thus said Ben-Hadad: Your silver and your gold are mine, and your wives and your sons—the best—are mine.”
Na tangka hoi sui hateh kaie doeh. Na yuca hoi hnokahawi pueng kaie doeh telah ati.
4 And the king of Israel answers and says, “According to your word, my lord, O king: I [am] yours, and all that I have.”
Isarel siangpahrang ni, oe siangpahrang ka bawipa na dei e patetlah doeh. Kai hoi ka tawn e pueng teh nange doeh telah ati.
5 And the messengers turn back and say, “Thus spoke Ben-Hadad, saying, Surely I sent to you, saying, Your silver, and your gold, and your wives, and your sons, you give to me;
A patounenaw ni bout a cei awh teh, Benhadad ni hettelah ati, na tangka hoi sui hoi na yu hoi na canaw hah na poe han telah taminaw bout a patoun.
6 for if, at this time tomorrow, I send my servants to you, then they have searched your house, and the houses of your servants, and it has been [that] every desirable thing of your eyes they place in their hand, and have taken [them] away.”
Hatei, tangtho tuektue nah ka taminaw nang koe ka patoun han, na im hoi na tami hoi, nim hah a tawng awh han. Na mit ni a noe e pueng hah a la awh vaiteh, koung a thokhai awh han telah ati.
7 And the king of Israel calls to all [the] elderly of the land and says, “Please know and see that this [one] is seeking evil, for he sent to me for my wives, and for my sons, and for my silver, and for my gold, and I did not withhold from him.”
Isarel siangpahrang ni a ram dawk e kacuenaw pueng koung a kaw teh, pahren lahoi pâkuem awh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, hete tami ni runae tâcosak hanlah a kâcai. Bangkongtetpawiteh, kai koe tami a patoun teh, ka yu hoi ka ca hoi, ka tangka hoi ka suinaw hah a hei, kangek e hai nahoeh telah ati.
8 And all the elderly and all the people say to him, “Do not listen, nor consent.”
Kacuenaw hoi tamimaya ni ahni koe ahnimae lawk hai banglahai noutna hanh, na lung hai kuepkhai hanh telah atipouh awh.
9 And he says to the messengers of Ben-Hadad, “Say to my lord the king, All that you sent to your servant for at the first I do, and this thing I am not able to do”; and the messengers go and take him back word.
Hottelah Benhadad ni patounenaw koe siangpahrang ka bawipa koevah, na san koe patounenaw na patoun teh, ahmaloe na hei e pueng heh ka tarawi yawkaw han, hatei hete teh ka tarawi thai mahoeh ati, telah na dei pouh awh han telah ati. Patoun e naw teh a cei awh teh hote lawk hah a dei pouh awh.
10 And Ben-Hadad sends to him and says, “Thus the gods do to me, and thus do they add, if the dust of Samaria suffice for handfuls for all the people who [are] at my feet.”
Benhadad ni ahni koe tami bout a patoun teh, ka hnukkâbangnaw pueng ni, Samaria khovah, vaiphu kutvang touh rip hmawt thai awh pawiteh, cathutnaw ni a ngai e patetlah na sak na lawiseh, hothlak ka pataw lahoi na sak naseh telah ati.
11 And the king of Israel answers and says, “Speak: Do not let him who is girding on boast himself as him who is loosing [his armor].”
Isarel siangpahrang ni, ayâ ni ransa puengcang a kâmahrawk navah, a ransa puengcang ka rading e patetlah kâoup boihoeh telah dei pouh awh telah ati.
12 And it comes to pass at the hearing of this word—and he is drinking, he and the kings, in the shelters—that he says to his servants, “Set yourselves”; and they set themselves against the city.
Hahoi, ama hoi siangpahrangnaw ni, kâhatnae rim dawk yamu a nei awh lahunnah, hote lawk hah Benhadad ni a thai teh, a taminaw koe kârakueng awh haw, atipouh. Hottelahoi, kho tuk hanelah a kâcai awh.
13 And behold, a certain prophet has come near to Ahab king of Israel and says, “Thus said YHWH: Have you seen all this great multitude? Behold, I am giving it into your hand today, and you have known that I [am] YHWH.”
Hahoi khenhaw! profet buet touh ni Isarel siangpahrang Ahab koe a cei sin teh, BAWIPA ni hettelah a dei. Hete kapap poung e tamihu hah na hmu maw. Khenhaw! sahnin na kut dawk na poe han, hahoi kai teh BAWIPA doeh tie na panue han telah ati.
14 And Ahab says, “By whom?” And he says, “Thus said YHWH: By the young men of the heads of the provinces”; and he says, “Who directs the battle?” And he says, “You.”
Ahab ni api hno lahoi maw telah ati, ahni ni BAWIPA ni telah a dei, khobawi a sannaw hah ka hno han telah ati. Ahni ni apinimaw tarantuknae kho a khang han telah ati. Ahni ni nang ni atipouh.
15 And he inspects the young men of the heads of the provinces, and they are two hundred and thirty-two, and after them he has mustered all the people, all the sons of Israel—seven thousand,
Hottelah ahni ni ram ukkungnaw hoi a sannaw a pâkhueng teh 232 touh a pha.
16 and they go out at noon, and Ben-Hadad is drinking—drunk in the shelters, he and the kings, the thirty-two kings helping him.
Kanî tuengtalueng a thun nah a tâco awh teh, hatnavah, Benhadad hoi siangpahrang a ma kabawm hane siangpahrang 32 touh teh, kâhatnae rim dawk yamu a la parui awh.
17 And the young men of the heads of the provinces go out at the first, and Ben-Hadad sends, and they declare to him, saying, “Men have come out of Samaria.”
Hateh, ram ukkung bawi thoundoun hmaloe a tâco. Benhadad ni kâhmo hane a patoun teh, ahni koe Samaria kho hoi tami ka tâcawt e ao telah a dei pouh.
18 And he says, “If they have come out for peace, catch them alive; and if they have come out for battle, catch them alive.”
Ahni ni roum nahanelah ka tâco e lah awm pawiteh, a hring lahoi man awh. Tarantuk hanelah hoi ka tâcawt hanelah ao haiyah a hring lahoi man awh, telah ati.
19 And these have gone out of the city—the young men of the heads of the provinces—and the force that [is] after them,
Hottelah ram ukkung thoundoun hah a hnukkâbang e ransa hoi khopui thung hoi a tâco awh.
20 and each strikes his man, and Aram flees, and Israel pursues them, and Ben-Hadad king of Aram escapes on a horse—and the horsemen;
Hahoi tami pueng ni amae tami lengkaleng a thei awh. Hottelah Sirianaw a yawng awh teh, Isarelnaw ni a pâlei awh. Siria siangpahrang Benhadad teh, marang a kâcui teh marang kâcuinaw hoi a hlout awh.
21 and the king of Israel goes out, and strikes the horses, and the charioteers, and has struck among the Arameans a great striking.
Isarel siangpahrang a tâco teh, marang hoi leng hoi a tuk awh teh, Sirianaw moi a thei awh.
22 And the prophet comes near to the king of Israel and says to him, “Go, strengthen yourself, and know and see that which you do, for at the turn of the year the king of Aram is coming up against you.”
Hahoi, profet ni Isarel siangpahrang koe a hrawi teh, ahni koe tha kâlat nateh, na sak hane kahawicalah pouk. Bangkongtetpawiteh, kompawi toteh Siria siangpahrang ni bout na tuk awh han, telah atipouh.
23 And the servants of the king of Aram said to him, “Their gods [are] gods of hills, therefore they were stronger than us; and yet, we fight with them in the plain—are we not stronger than they?
Siria siangpahrang e sannaw ni ahni koe, ahnimae cathutnaw teh mon cathutnaw lah ao. Hatdawkvah maimouh hlak a tha ao hnawn awh telah ati awh.
24 And this thing you do: turn aside each of the kings out of his place, and set captains in their stead;
Hahoi, hettelah na ti han, siangpahrangnaw hah koung tha nateh, amamae hmuen koe ram ukkung lah hrueng.
25 and you, number for yourself a force as the force that is fallen from you, and horse for horse, and chariot for chariot, and we fight with them in the plain; are we not stronger than they?” And he listens to their voice, and does so.
Hahoi ransa hoi leng na raphoe e yit touh ransa bout sak. Hottelah tanghling dawk na tuk awh vaiteh, ahnimouh hlak thao awh mingming han doeh telah ati awh. A lawk hah a caksak awh teh, hottelah a sak awh.
26 And it comes to pass at the turn of the year, that Ben-Hadad inspects the Arameans, and goes up to Aphek, to battle with Israel,
Hahoi, kompawi toteh, hettelah ao. Benhadad ni Sirianaw hah a pâkhueng teh. Isarel tuk hanelah Aphek vah a takhang awh.
27 and the sons of Israel have been inspected, and supported, and go to meet them, and the sons of Israel encamp before them, like two flocks of goats, and the Arameans have filled the land.
Isarel catounnaw teh a kamkhueng awh teh, rawca a rakueng pouh awh teh, tarantuk hanelah a tâco awh. Isarelnaw hmaehu yitca e hu hni touh e patetlah a kangdue sin awh. Sirianaw teh a ram dawk king a kawi awh.
28 And a man of God comes near, and speaks to the king of Israel and says, “Thus said YHWH: Because that the Arameans have said, YHWH [is] God of [the] hills, but He [is] not God of [the] valleys—I have given the whole of this great multitude into your hand, and you have known that I [am] YHWH.”
Hahoi Cathut e tami ni Isarel siangpahrang koe a hnai teh, ahni koe, BAWIPA ni hettelah a dei, Sirianaw ni Jehovah teh mon cathut lah ao teh, tanghling cathut lah awm hoeh ati awh. Hatdawkvah, hete tami moikapap e naw heh na kut dawk na poe han, hottelah hoi kai heh BAWIPA lah ka o tie hah na panue awh han telah ati.
29 And they encamp opposite one another [for] seven days, and it comes to pass on the seventh day, that the battle draws near, and the sons of Israel strike one hundred thousand footmen of Aram in one day.
Hnin sari touh thung avoivang lah a tungpup awh. Ahni sari hnin vah a kâtuk awh. Isarelnaw ni Sirianaw hah hnin touh dawk ransa 100, 000 a thei awh.
30 And those left flee to Aphek, into the city, and the wall falls on twenty-seven chief men who are left, and Ben-Hadad has fled, and comes into the city, into the innermost part.
Alouknaw teh Aphek kho thung vah a yawng awh. Kacawie tami 27, 000 touh teh rapan katim e ni koung a ten. Benhadad teh a yawng teh, khopui dawk imrakhan thung a kâen.
31 And his servants say to him, “Now behold, we have heard that the kings of the house of Israel—that they are kind kings; please let us put sackcloth on our loins and ropes on our heads, and we go out to the king of Israel; it may be he keeps you alive.”
A taminaw ni ahni koe khenhaw! Isarelnaw e imthungnaw thung dawk, Siangpahrang heh pahrennae ka tawn e siangpahrangnaw doeh telah ka panue awh. Burihni kâkhu hoi kaimae lû dawk rui hoi pâkhit nateh, Isarel siangpahrang koe na cetkhai yawkaw. Ama ni na pâhlung yawkaw han doeh telah ati awh.
32 And they gird sackcloth on their loins, and ropes [are] on their heads, and they come to the king of Israel, and say, “Your servant Ben-Hadad has said, Please let me live”; and he says, “Is he still alive? He [is] my brother.”
Hottelah buri hni a kâkhu awh teh, a lû dawk rui hoi a pâkhi awh teh, Isarel siangpahrang koe a cei awh. Na san Benhadad ni pahren lahoi na pâhlung na seh ati telah ati awh. Ahni ni a hring rah maw, ahni teh ka hmaunawngha nahoehmaw, telah ati.
33 And the men observe diligently, and hurry, and catch [the word] from him, and say, “Your brother Ben-Hadad”; and he says, “Go in, bring him”; and Ben-Hadad comes out to him, and he causes him to come up on the chariot.
Hotnaw ni pouknae kahawi hoi a lungthung hoi a dei katang e han doeh ati awh teh, na hmaunawngha Benhadad doeh atipouh awh. Ahni ni cet awh nateh, ahni hah thokhai awh atipouh. Hottelah Benhadad teh a tâco teh, ahni koe a cei teh ahni ni leng dawk a kâcui sak.
34 And he says to him, “The cities that my father took from your father, I give back, and you make streets for yourself in Damascus, as my father did in Samaria; and I, with a covenant, send you away”; and he makes a covenant with him, and sends him away.
Benhadad ni ahni koe, apa ni na pa koe kho a la e hah bout na poe han. Hahoi, apa ni Samaria kho hno yonae hmuen a sak e patetlah Damaskas kho vah hno yonae hmuen na sak van han telah ati. Hottelah ahni koe lawkkamnae a sak sak teh a cei sak.
35 And a certain man of the sons of the prophets said to his neighbor by the word of YHWH, “Please strike me”; and the man refuses to strike him,
Hahoi Profet capanaw thung hoi tami buet touh ni, BAWIPA e lawk patetlah a hui koe vah, kai na hem haw telah atipouh. Hote tami ni na hem ngai hoeh atipouh.
36 and he says to him, “Because that you have not listened to the voice of YHWH, behold, you are going from me, and the lion has struck you”; and he goes from him, and the lion finds him, and strikes him.
Hat toteh, ahni koevah, BAWIPA e lawk na tarawi ngaihoeh dawkvah, khenhaw! nang ni na ceitakhai tahma vah, Sendek ni na kei han atipouh e patetlah a cei teh Sendek ni a hmue teh a kei.
37 And he finds another man and says, “Please strike me”; and the man strikes him, striking and wounding,
Hahoi alouke tami bout a hmu teh, kai na hem haw atipouh teh ahni ni a hem.
38 and the prophet goes and stands for the king on the way, and disguises himself with ashes on his eyes.
Hahoi profet teh a cei teh, lam vah siangpahrang a pawp, a tampa dawk a yeng e hoi mit a huem teh, a phunloukcalah a kâsak.
39 And it comes to pass—the king is passing by—that he has cried to the king and says, “Your servant went out into the midst of the battle, and behold, a man has turned aside and brings a man to me, and says, Keep this man; if he is at all missing, then your life has been for his life, or you weigh out a talent of silver;
Siangpahrang a tho toteh siangpahrang a kaw teh, na sanpa heh tarankâtuknae hmuen lungui vah ka cei teh, khenhaw! tami buet touh ni kai koe tami buet touh a thokhai. Hete tami heh kahawicalah ring, yawng payon pawiteh, a hringnae yueng lah na hringnae ka hma han, hoehpawiteh, tangka talen buet touh na poe han telah ati.
40 and it comes to pass, your servant is working here and there, and he is not!” And the king of Israel says to him, “Your judgment [is] right; you have determined [it].”
Na sanpa heh puenghoi ka rucat dawkvah, ka yawng takhai telah ati. Isarel siangpahrang ni nang nama ni lawk na tâtueng e patetlah na lathueng vah lawkcengnae ka phat e doeh telah atipouh.
41 And he hurries and turns aside the ashes from off his eyes, and the king of Israel discerns him, that he [is] of the prophets,
Ahni ni minhmai huemnae hah a rading teh, Isarel siangpahrang ni profet buet touh doeh tie hah a panue.
42 and he says to him, “Thus said YHWH: Because you have sent away the man I devoted, out of [your] hand, even your life has been for his life, and your people for his people”;
Profet ni ahni koevah, BAWIPA ni hettelah a dei, thoe ka bo e tami na hlout sak dawkvah, ahnie hringnae yueng lah nange hringnae, ahnie taminaw yueng lah nange taminaw na sung sak han telah ati.
43 and the king of Israel goes to his house, sulky and angry, and comes to Samaria.
Hahoi Isarel siangpahrang teh minhmai mathoe lungmathoe laihoi a ban teh Samaria kho a pha.
