1 Kings 20
1 Now, Ben-hadad, king of Syria, had gathered together all his forces, and, thirty-two kings, were with him, and horses and chariots, —then came he up, and laid siege to Samaria, and made war against 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 he sent messengers unto Ahab king of Israel, into the city, and said to him, —Thus, saith Ben-hadad,
Isarel siangpahrang koe khopui thung patounenaw a patoun teh ahni koe Benhadad ni hettelah ati.
3 Thy silver and thy gold, are, mine, and, thy wives and thy sons, the goodliest, are, mine.
Na tangka hoi sui hateh kaie doeh. Na yuca hoi hnokahawi pueng kaie doeh telah ati.
4 Then responded the king of Israel, and said, According to thy word, my lord O king! thine, am I, 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 came back again, and said, Thus, speaketh Ben-hadad, saying, —Because I sent unto thee, saying, Thy silver and thy gold and thy wives and thy sons, to me, shalt thou give,
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 Therefore, about this time to-morrow, will I send my servants unto thee, and they shall search thy house, and the houses of thy servants, —and it shall be, that, all the delight of thine eyes, shall they put in their hand, and take 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 Then called the king of Israel, for all the elders of the land, and said—Mark, I pray you, and see, how this man is seeking, mischief, —for he had sent unto me, for my wives, and for my sons, and for my silver, and for my gold, and I refused him not.
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 elders and all the people said unto him, —Do not thou hearken, neither do thou consent.
Kacuenaw hoi tamimaya ni ahni koe ahnimae lawk hai banglahai noutna hanh, na lung hai kuepkhai hanh telah atipouh awh.
9 So he said unto the messengers of Ben-hadad—Say ye to my lord the king, —All that thou didst send for, to thy servant at the first, will I do, but, this thing, I cannot do. And the messengers departed, and took 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 Then Ben-hadad sent unto him and said, —So, let the gods do to me, and, so, let them add, —if the dust of Samaria suffice by 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 responded and said: Tell him, —Let not, him that girdeth, boast himself like him, that looseneth.
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 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—Make ready! So they made ready, 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 lo! a certain prophet, drew near unto Ahab king of Israel, and said, —Thus, saith Yahweh, Hast thou seen all this great multitude? Behold me! delivering it into thy hand, to-day, so shalt thou know that, I, am, Yahweh.
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 said—By whom? And he said—Thus, saith Yahweh, By the young men of the princes of the provinces. Then said he—Who shall begin the war? And he said—Thou!
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 Then numbered he the young men of the princes of the provinces, and they were found to be, two hundred and thirty-two, —and, after them, he numbered 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 went forth at noon. Now, Ben-hadad, was drinking himself drunk, in the pavilions, he and 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 Then went forth the young men of the princes of the provinces, first, —and, when Ben-hadad sent, they told him, saying—Men, have come forth, 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 said—If, peaceably, they have come, take them alive, —or, if, fighting, they have come, alive, take ye them.
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 Now, when, these, had come forth out of the city, even the young men of the princes of the provinces, —with the force which was following them,
Hottelah ram ukkung thoundoun hah a hnukkâbang e ransa hoi khopui thung hoi a tâco awh.
20 then smote they every one his man, and the Syrians fled, and Israel pursued them, —but Ben-hadad king of Syria escaped on horse, with 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 went forth, and took the horses and the chariots, —and he went on smiting the Syrians, with a great smiting.
Isarel siangpahrang a tâco teh, marang hoi leng hoi a tuk awh teh, Sirianaw moi a thei awh.
22 Then drew near the prophet, unto the king of Israel, and said unto him—Go strengthen thyself, and mark and see, what thou wilt do, —for, at the return of the year, is, the king of Syria, coming up against thee.
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 Syria, said unto him, —Gods of the mountains, are their gods, for this cause, prevailed they against us, —but, only let us fight with them in the plain, and verily we shall prevail against them.
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 But, this thing, do, —set aside the kings, every man out of his place, and put governors in their stead;
Hahoi, hettelah na ti han, siangpahrangnaw hah koung tha nateh, amamae hmuen koe ram ukkung lah hrueng.
25 and, thou, must number thee a force, like the force which thou hast lost, both horse for horse and chariot for chariot, and, if we fight with them in the plain, verily we shall prevail against them. And he hearkened unto their voice, and did 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 so it came to pass at the return of the year, that Ben-hadad numbered the Syrians, —and came up to Aphek, to fight 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, were numbered, and provisioned, and went to meet them, —and the sons of Israel encamped before them like two little flocks of goats, whereas, the Syrians, 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 Then approached the man of God, and spake unto the king of Israel, and said—Thus, saith Yahweh—Because the Syrians have said—A god of the mountains, is Yahweh, but, not a god of the vales, is he, therefore will I deliver all this great multitude, into thy hand, so shalt thou know, that, I, am Yahweh.
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 So they encamped, these, over against, those, seven days, —and it came to pass, on the seventh day, that the battle was joined, and the sons of Israel smote the Syrians, a hundred thousand footmen, 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 they who were left fled to Aphek, into the city, and the wall fell upon twenty-seven thousand men who were left, —and, Ben-hadad, fled, and came into the city, into a chamber within a chamber.
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 said unto him, Lo! we pray thee, we have heard, of the kings of the house of Israel, that, kings known for lovingkindness, they are. Let us, we pray thee, put sackcloth upon our loins, and ropes about our head, and let us go forth unto the king of Israel, peradventure he will save alive thy soul.
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 So they girded sackcloth upon their loins, and [put] ropes about their heads, and came in unto the king of Israel, and said, Thy servant, Ben-hadad, saith, —Let my soul live, I pray thee. And he said, —Is he yet alive? My brother, he is.
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 Now, the men, could divine, so they hastened to let him confirm the word of his own accord, and they said, —Thy brother, is Ben-hadad! He said therefore, —Go fetch him. So Ben-hadad came forth unto him, and he made him come up unto him on his 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 said unto him—The cities which my father took from thy father, will I restore, and, bazaars, shalt thou make thee in Damascus, as my father made in Samaria. So then, I, with this covenant, will let thee go. So he solemnised with him a covenant, and let him go.
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 unto his neighbour, by the word of Yahweh—Smite me, I pray thee. But the man refused to smite 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 So he said to him—Because thou hast not hearkened unto the voice of Yahweh, lo! when thou art departing from me, there shall smite thee a lion. And when he departed from beside him, a lion found him, and smote 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 Then found he another man, and said, —Smite me, I pray thee. So the man smote him—kept on smiting and wounding.
Hahoi alouke tami bout a hmu teh, kai na hem haw atipouh teh ahni ni a hem.
38 Then the prophet departed, and waited for the king, by the way, —and disguised himself with his turban over 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 so it was, when, the king, was passing, he, cried out unto the king, —and said—Thy servant, went out in the midst of the battle, and lo! a man, turned aside and brought unto me a man, and said—Keep this man, if he be, missing, then shall, thy life, go for, his life, or, a talent of silver, shalt thou weigh out.
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 so it was, as thy servant was busy here and there, that, he, was gone. And the king of Israel said unto him—Such, is thy judgment, thou thyself, hast decided 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 Then hastened he, and removed the turban from over his eyes, —and the king of Israel knew him, that, of the prophets, was, he.
Ahni ni minhmai huemnae hah a rading teh, Isarel siangpahrang ni profet buet touh doeh tie hah a panue.
42 And he said unto him—Thus, saith Yahweh, Because thou hast let go the man whom I had devoted, out of thy hand, therefore shall, thy life, be instead of, his life, and, thy people, instead of, 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 departed unto his house, sullen and disturbed, —and entered Samaria.
Hahoi Isarel siangpahrang teh minhmai mathoe lungmathoe laihoi a ban teh Samaria kho a pha.
