2 Chronicles 18

1 Now Jehoshaphat had riches and honor in abundance; and he joined affinity with Ahab.

Jehosaphat loe paroeai angraenghaih hoi pakoehhaih ah oh; anih loe zu lakhaih rang hoiah Ahab hoi angdaehhaih to sak.

2 After certain years he went down to Ahab to Samaria. Ahab killed sheep and cattle for him in abundance, and for the people who were with him, and moved him to go up with him to Ramoth Gilead.

Saning nazetto maw oh pacoengah, Ahab khae paqaih hanah Samaria ah a caeh tathuk. Ahab mah Jehosaphat hoi anih ih kaminawk hanah, paroeai tuu hoi maitawnawk to boh pae moe, anih hoi nawnto Ramoth-Gilead tuk hanah pacae.

3 Ahab king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat king of Judah, "Will you go with me to Ramoth Gilead?" He answered him, "I am as you are, and my people as your people. We will be with you in the war."

Israel siangpahrang Ahab mah Judah siangpahrang Jehosaphat khaeah, Ramoth-Gilead to nang tuk haih han maw? tiah a naa. Jehosaphat mah kai doeh nang ni; Kai ih kaminawk doeh nang ih kami ah ni oh o; nang hoi nawnto misa kang tuk pae o han, tiah a naa.

4 Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel, "Please inquire first for the word of YHWH."

Jehosaphat mah Israel siangpahrang khaeah, Vaihniah Angraeng khaeah lokdueng hmaloe ah, tiah a naa.

5 Then the king of Israel gathered the prophets together, four hundred men, and said to them, "Shall we go to Ramoth Gilead to battle, or shall I refrain?" They said, "Go up; for God will deliver it into the hand of the king."

To pongah Israel siangpahrang mah, tahmaa cumvai palito kawk moe, nihcae khaeah, Ramoth-Gilead tuk hanah a caeh o han maw, a caeh o mak ai? tiah a naa. Nihcae mah, Caeh oh, Sithaw mah to vangpui to na ban ah paek tih, tiah a naa o.

6 But Jehoshaphat said, "Isn't there here a prophet of YHWH besides, that we may inquire of him?"

Toe Jehosaphat mah, lok a dueng o hanah, hae ah Angraeng ih tahmaa mi doeh om ai maw? tiah a naa.

7 The king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, "There is yet one man by whom we may inquire of YHWH; but I hate him, for he never prophesies good concerning me, but always evil. He is Micaiah the son of Imla." Jehoshaphat said, "Do not let the king say so."

Israel siangpahrang mah Jehosaphat khaeah, Aicae mah lokdueng hanah Angraeng ih kami maeto oh vop, toe anih loe kai kawng kahoih vaito doeh thui ai, ka sethaih khue to a thuih pongah, anih to ka hnukma; anih loe Imlah capa Mikaiah, tiah a naa. To naah Jehosaphat mah, Siangpahrang loe to tiah lok apaeh han om ai, tiah a naa.

8 Then the king of Israel called an officer, and said, "Get Micaiah the son of Imla quickly."

To pongah Israel siangpahrang mah angmah ih angraeng maeto kawk moe, Imlah capa Mikaiah to karangah kawk ah, tiah lokpaek.

9 Now the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah sat each on his throne, arrayed in their robes, and they were sitting in an open place at the entrance of the gate of Samaria; and all the prophets were prophesying before them.

Israel siangpahrang hoi Judah siangpahrang Jehosaphat loe, siangpahrang khukbuen to angkhuk hoi moe, Samaria vangpui akunhaih khongkha taeng ih, kakong ahmuen ah angraeng tangkhang nuiah anghnut hoi; to naah tahmaanawk boih mah nihnik hmaa ah lokthuih pae o.

10 Zedekiah the son of Kenaanah made him horns of iron, and said, "Thus says YHWH, 'With these you shall push the Arameans, until they are consumed.'"

Kenaanah capa Zedekiah mah sum hoi sak ih taki to lak moe, Angraeng mah, Syria prae nam rosak ai karoek to, hae taki hoiah na daeng tih, tiah a thuih, tiah a naa.

11 All the prophets prophesied so, saying, "Go up to Ramoth Gilead, and prosper; for YHWH will deliver it into the hand of the king."

Kalah tahmaanawk boih mah doeh to tiah thuih o toeng; Ramoth-Gilead to tuh ah, na pazawk tih; Angraeng mah siangpahrang ban ah paek tih, tiah a naa o.

12 The messenger who went to call Micaiah spoke to him, saying, "Look, the words of the prophets declare good to the king with one mouth. Let your word therefore, please be like one of theirs, and speak good."

Mikaiah khaeah kacaeh laicaeh mah anih khaeah, Khenah, siangpahrang mah pazawk tih hmang, tiah tahmaanawk boih mah kanghmong lok to thuih o; nihcae mah thuih ih lok baktih toengah lok to thui ah, tahngai kahoih ah lok na thuih nahaeloe hoi tih, tiah a naa.

13 Micaiah said, "As YHWH lives, whatever my God says to me, that I will speak."

Toe Mikaiah mah, Angraeng loe hing pongah, ka Sithaw mah thuih ih lok khue ni ka thuih han, tiah a naa.

14 When he had come to the king, the king said to him, "Micaiah, shall we go to Ramoth Gilead to battle, or shall I refrain?" He said, "Go up, and prosper. They shall be delivered into your hand."

Anih siangpahrang hmaa ah phak naah, siangpahrang mah anih khaeah, Mikaiah, Ramoth-Gilead tuk hanah a caeh o han maw, a caeh o mak ai? tiah lok a dueng. Anih mah, Caeh oh loe, pazawk oh; nihcae to na ban ah paek tih, tiah a naa.

15 The king said to him, "How many times shall I adjure you that you speak to me nothing but the truth in the name of YHWH?"

Siangpahrang mah anih khaeah, Kamsoem lok khue ai ah loe, Angraeng ih ahmin hoiah kai khaeah kamsoem ai lok to thui hmah, tiah vai nazetto maw lokkamhaih kang saksak boeh? tiah a naa.

16 He said, "I saw all Israel scattered on the mountains, as sheep that have no shepherd. YHWH said, 'These have no master. Let them return every man to his house in peace.'"

Mikaiah mah, Toepkung tawn ai mae nuiah kamhet tuu caa baktiah kamhet phang Israel kaminawk to ka hnuk; Angraeng mah, Hae kaminawk loe angraeng tawn o ai pongah, kaminawk loe angmacae im ah amlaem o boih nasoe, tiah thuih, tiah a naa.

17 The king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, "Did I not tell you that he would not prophesy good concerning me, but evil?"

Israel siangpahrang mah Jehosaphat khaeah, Kai kawng kahoih vaito doeh thui ai; kasae ngai ni a thuih, tiah kang thuih boeh na ai maw? tiah a naa.

18 Micaiah said, "Therefore hear the word of YHWH: I saw YHWH sitting on his throne, and all the army of heaven standing on his right hand and on his left.

Mikaiah mah, To pongah Angraeng ih lok hae tahngai ah; Anih loe angmah ih angraeng tangkhang nuiah anghnut, anih ih banqoi bantang bangah anghnu van kaminawk to ka hnuk, tiah a thuih pae let.

19 YHWH said, 'Who shall entice Ahab king of Israel, that he may go up and fall at Ramoth Gilead?' One spoke saying in this way, and another saying in that way.

Angraeng mah, Israel siangpahrang Ahab mah Ramah-Gilead to tuk moe, sung hanah mi mah maw zoek thai tih? tiah a thuih. To naah maeto mah hmuen maeto kawng to thuih moe, kalah maeto mah kalah hmuen maeto kawng to thuih.

20 A spirit came out, stood before YHWH, and said, 'I will entice him.' "YHWH said to him, 'How?'

To nathuem ah muithla maeto angzoh, Angraeng hmaa ah angdoet moe, Anih to kai mah ka zoek han, tiah a naa. Angraeng mah anih khaeah, Kawbangmaw na zoek han loe? tiah dueng naah,

21 "He said, 'I will go forth, and will be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets.' "He said, 'You will entice him, and will prevail also. Go forth, and do so.'

anih mah, Ka caeh moe, siangpahrang ih tahmaanawk pakha ah amsawnlok kathui muithla baktiah ka oh pae han, tiah a naa. Angraeng mah, Nang mah na zoek thai tih; caeh loe, na thuih ih lok baktih toengah sah ah, tiah a naa.

22 "Now therefore, look, YHWH has put a lying spirit in the mouth of these your prophets; and YHWH has pronounced disaster concerning you."

To pongah khenah, Angraeng mah vaihi amsawnlok kathui muithla to hae tahmaanawk ih pakha ah suek pae boeh; Angraeng mah nang amro thai hanah lokthuih boeh, tiah a naa.

23 Then Zedekiah the son of Kenaanah came near, and struck Micaiah on the cheek, and said, "Which way did the Spirit of YHWH go from me to speak to you?"

To pacoengah Kenaanah capa Zedekiah mah, caeh moe, Mikaiah to mikhmai ah tabaeng; Angraeng ih Muithla mah nang khae lokthuih hanah, naa bang ih loklam hoiah maw kai khae hoiah tacawt? tiah a naa.

24 Micaiah said, "Look, you shall see on that day, when you shall go into an inner room to hide yourself."

Mikaiah mah, Khenah, anghawk hanah imthung ah na caeh niah na panoek tih, tiah a naa.

25 The king of Israel said, "Take Micaiah, and carry him back to Amon the governor of the city, and to Joash the king's son;

Israel siangpahrang mah, Mikaiah to la oh loe, vangpui ukkung, Amon hoi siangpahrang capa Joash khaeah thak oh, tiah a naa.

26 and say, 'Thus says the king, "Put this fellow in the prison, and feed him with bread of affliction and with water of affliction, until I return in peace."'"

Siangpahrang mah, Hae kami hae thongim pakhrah oh, kamong ah kam laem let ai karoek to pacaekthlaek hanah, takaw hoi tui khue ai ah loe, tidoeh paek o hmah, tiah a thuih, tiah thuih paeh, tiah lok a paek.

27 Micaiah said, "If you return at all in peace, YHWH has not spoken by me." He said, "Listen, you peoples, all of you."

Mikaiah mah, Kamongah nam laem o let tangtang nahaeloe, Angraeng mah kai khaeah lokthui ai ah ni om tih. Kaminawk boih, ka lok hae panoek oh, tiah a naa.

28 So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah went up to Ramoth Gilead.

To pongah Israel siangpahrang hoi Judah siangpahrang Jehosaphat loe Ramoth-Gilead ah caeh hoi tahang.

29 The king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, "I will disguise myself, and go into the battle; but you put on your robes." So the king of Israel disguised himself; and they went into the battle.

Israel siangpahrang mah Jehosaphat khaeah, Kai loe kami kalah ah angsak moe, misa ka tuk han; toe nang loe siangpahrang khukbuen to angkhuk ah loe, om ah, tiah a naa. To pongah Israel siangpahrang loe kami kalah baktiah angsak moe, misatuk hanah nawnto a caeh hoi.

30 Now the king of Aram had commanded the captains of his chariots, saying, "Fight neither with small nor great, except only with the king of Israel."

To naah Syria siangpahrang mah, Angmah ih hrangleeng angthueng hoi misatuh angraeng khaeah, Israel siangpahrang khue ai ah loe, kathoeng doeh kalen doeh kalah kaminawk to tuh o hmah, tiah a naa.

31 It happened, when the captains of the chariots saw Jehoshaphat, that they said, "It is the king of Israel." Therefore they turned around to fight against him. But Jehoshaphat cried out, and YHWH helped him; and God moved them to depart from him.

Hrangleeng hoi misatuh angraengnawk mah, Jehosaphat to hnuk o naah, Anih loe Israel siangpahrang mue, tiah poek o. To pongah anih tuk hanah takui o; toe Jehosaphat hang naah, Angraeng mah anih to abomh, Sithaw mah to kaminawk to loklam kalah bangah caehsak king.

32 It happened, when the captains of the chariots saw that it was not the king of Israel, that they turned back from pursuing him.

Hrangleeng hoi misatuh angraengnawk mah anih loe Israel siangpahrang na ai ni, tiah panoek o naah, anih to patom ai ah amlaem o let.

33 A certain man drew his bow at random, and struck the king of Israel between the joints of the armor. Therefore he said to the driver of the chariot, "Turn your hand, and carry me out of the army; for I am severely wounded."

Kami maeto loe palaa to aphongh moe, a kah rumram, to naah Israel siangpahrang ih sum aphaw salakah cop; to naah anih mah angmah ih hrangleeng mongh kami khaeah, Kai loe ahmaa ka caak boeh pongah, angqoi ah loe misa angtukhaih ahmuen hoiah kai amlaem haih lai ah, tiah a naa.

34 The battle increased that day. However the king of Israel propped himself up in his chariot against the Arameans until the evening; and about the time of the going down of the sun, he died.

To na niah paroeai misa angtuk o; Israel siangpahrang loe hrangleeng nuiah angthueng moe, duembang khoek to Syria kaminawk to tuk; anih loe niduem tom naah duek.
