2 Kings 13
1 After Joash had been ruling Judah for almost 23 years, Jehu’s son Jehoahaz became the king of Israel. He ruled in Samaria [city] for 17 years.
Judah siangpahrang Ahaziah capa Joash a bawinae kum 23 navah, Jehu capa Jehoahaz teh Isarelnaw koe vah Samaria siangpahrang tawk a kamtawng hoi kum 17 touh a uk.
2 He did many things that Yahweh considered to be evil and committed the same kind of sins that Jeroboam had committed, sins which led the people of Israel to sin. He did not stop committing those sins.
BAWIPA mithmu vah kahawihoehe hno ouk a sak. Isarel ka payonsakkung Nebat capa Jeroboam yonnae hah ouk a sak teh cettakhai hoeh.
3 So Yahweh became very angry with the Israeli people, and he allowed the army of King Hazael of Syria and his son Ben-Hadad to defeat the Israelis many times.
BAWIPA lungphuennae Isarel koe a kâan teh, Siria siangpahrang Hazael kut hoi Hazael capa Benhadad kut dawk pou a poe.
4 Then Jehoahaz prayed to Yahweh [for help], and Yahweh heeded him, because he saw that the army of the king of Syria was oppressing the Israelis.
Jehoahaz ni BAWIPA koe pou a kâhei teh, BAWIPA ni a lawk hah a ngai pouh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, Isarelnaw repcoungroe dawkvah Siria siangpahrang ni repcoungroe e naw hah pou a hmu.
5 Yahweh sent a leader to Israel, who enabled them to be freed from being controlled by Syria. After that, the Israeli people lived peacefully as they had done previously.
Hahoi teh, BAWIPA ni Isarelnaw hah ka rungngangkung a poe awh. Hahoi Siria kut dawk hoi a tâco awh. Yampa e patetlah Isarelnaw teh, amamouh im vah lungmawngcalah ao awh.
6 But they still continued to commit the same kind of sins that Jeroboam and his family had committed and which led the Israelis to [also] sin. And the statue of the goddess Asherah remained in Samaria.
Hatei Isarel kapayonsakkung Jeroboam imthungkhunaw yonnae hah ceitakhai laipalah, pou a sak dawkvah, Samaria kho vah thingmeikaphawk hah pou ao rah.
7 Jehoahaz had only 50 men who rode on horses and ten chariots and 10,000 other soldiers, because the army of Syria had killed all the rest, trampling them like people walk on dirt.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, Jehoahaz ni a taminaw thung dawkvah marangransanaw 50 touh hoi leng 10 touh, ransa 10, 000 touh dueng doeh a tawn. Bangkongtetpawiteh, Siria siangpahrang ni, be a raphoe pouh teh, cangkatinnae vaiphu mungpoung e patetlah doeh a kayei awh.
8 [If you want to read about] [RHQ] everything else that Jehoahaz did, you can read about it in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Israel’.
Jehoahaz tawksaknae hoi hnosakthainae naw teh Isarel siangpahrangnaw, setouknae cauk dawkvah be thut lah ao nahoehmaw.
9 Jehoahaz died [EUP] and was buried in Samaria. Then his son Jehoash became the king.
Jehoahaz teh a na mintoenaw koe a kâhat teh, Samaria vah a pakawp awh. A capa Johash ni a yueng lah a uk.
10 Jehoash, the son of Jehoahaz, started to rule in Israel after King Joash had been ruling in Judah for 23 years. Jehoash ruled in Samaria for 17 years.
Judah siangpahrang Joash a bawi kum 37 navah Jehoahaz capa Jehoash teh Samaria vah, Isarel siangpahrang lah bawi a kamtawng teh, kum 16 touh a uk awh.
11 He did many things that Yahweh considered to be evil. He refused to turn away from worshiping idols, which was the sin that [many years earlier King] Jeroboam had told the Israeli people to commit.
BAWIPA mithmu vah hawihoehnae a sak. Isarel kapayonsakkung Nebat capa Jeroboam yonnae naw cettakhai laipalah pou a sak awh rah.
12 The other things that happened while Jehoash was king and all the things that he did are written in the book called ‘The Account of What the Kings of Israel Did’. In that account they wrote about Jehoash’s [army’s] victories, and their war with [the army of] King Amaziah of Judah.
Joash tawksaknae thung dawk hoi kaawm rae pueng hoi a sak e naw pueng teh Judah siangpahrang Amaziah a tuk nah e hnosakthainae naw pueng teh, Isarel siangpahrangnaw setouknae cauk dawkvah thut lah ao nahoehmaw.
13 When Jehoash died, he was buried in Samaria where the [other] kings of Israel were buried. Then his son Jeroboam became king.
Joash teh a na mintoenaw koe a kâhat teh, Jeroboam teh a bawitungkhung dawk a tahung. Joash teh Samaria kho Isarel siangpahrangnaw koe a pakawp awh.
14 Elisha became very ill. Just before he died, King Jehoash went to Elisha and cried in front of him. [Saying the same words that Elisha had said when Elijah was taken to heaven], he said, “My father/master! My father/master! The chariots of us Israeli people and their drivers [are taking my master away]!”
Elisha teh a duekhai hane patawnae hoi a pataw toe. Hahoi Isarel siangpahrang Joash teh ahni koe a cei teh a ka khai Apa Apa Isarel rangleng hoi marangransanaw lah na o atipouh.
15 Elisha said to him, “Bring to me a bow and some arrows!” So the king did that.
Elisha ni na lilava lat haw atipouh. A lilava hah a la.
16 Then Elisha told the king to put his hands on the bow [and prepare to shoot some arrows]. And then Elisha put his own hands on the king’s hands.
Isarel siangpahrang koe na licung hah kuen haw atipouh teh a licung hah a kuet. Elisha ni siangpahrang kut dawkvah a kut hah a toung.
17 Then Elisha told him, “[Have someone] open that window toward the east.” So they opened it. Then Elisha said, “Shoot!” So the king did. Then Elisha said, “That is the arrow that [indicates that your army] will defeat the Syrian army. Your army will completely defeat their [army] at Aphek [town].”
Kanîtholae hlalangaw paawng haw atipouh teh a paawng pouh. Elisha ni, ka haw, atipouh teh a ka. Ahni ni BAWIPA tânae senehmaica, sirianaw tânae senehmaica doeh ka tho. Bangkongtetpawiteh, Aphek kho vah Sirianaw, be a rawk hoehroukrak na tâ han atipouh.
18 Then Elisha said, “Pick up the other arrows and strike the ground with them!” So the king picked up the arrows and struck the ground three times.
Hahoi teh, na samtang hah lat haw bout atipouh teh a la. Isarel siangpahrang koevah talai hem haw atipouh navah, vai thum touh a hem.
19 But Elisha was angry with him. He exclaimed, “You should have struck the ground five or six times! If you had done that, your army would have defeated the Syrian [army] until they were completely wiped out! But now, [because you struck the ground only three times, ] your army will defeat them only three times!”
Cathut e tami teh ahni koe a lungphuen. Vai panga vai taruk tabang na hem vai lah, Sirianaw teh be a mit totouh na tâ awh han ei. Hatei Sirianaw hah vai thum touh dueng doeh na tâ awh han tinae doeh toe atipouh.
20 Then Elisha died and was buried. Groups of raiders from Moab came to Israel each year during (spring/the time when the cold season was ending).
Elisha teh a due hoi a pakawp awh. Kawmpoi tue a pha toteh Moabnaw ni Isarelnaw teh a tuk awh.
21 One year, when some Israeli people were burying a man’s body, they saw a group of those raiders. [They were afraid, ] so quickly they threw that man’s body into the tomb where Elisha [had been buried, and they ran away]. But as soon as the man’s body touched Elisha’s bones, the dead man became alive again and jumped up!
Tami buet touh pakawp han ati awh navah, Khenhaw! ransahu lawt a hmu awh. Hatdawkvah, hote ro hah Elisha e tangkom dawk pum a pabo awh. Hote ro ni Elisha hru a kâbet tahma a hring teh amae khok dawk a kangdue.
22 King Hazael of Syria [sent soldiers to] oppress the Israeli people all during the years that Jehoahaz [ruled Judah].
Siria siangpahrang Hazael ni, Jehoahaz se navah Isarel hah, pou a hnep awh.
23 But Yahweh was very kind [DOU] to the Israeli people. He helped them because of the agreement that he had made with [their ancestors] Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. He did not get rid of the Israelis, and he still has not rejected them.
Hatei, BAWIPA ni, Abraham hoi Isak, Jakop koe lawk a kam dawkvah ahnimouh teh, a pahren, a lungma awh teh a ngaikhai awh. Ahnimouh teh raphoe ngai hoeh ni teh ama koehoi tâkhawng ngai hoeh.
24 When Hazael the king of Syria died, his son Ben-Hadad became the king.
Siria siangpahrang Hazael teh a due toe. A capa Benhadad ni a yueng lah a uk.
25 [The army of] King Jehoash of Israel defeated [the army of] King Ben-Hadad three times, and recaptured the cities that Ben-Hadad’s army had captured during the time that Jehoash’s father Jehoahaz was ruling Israel.
Jehoahaz capa Jehoash ni, Hazael capa Benhadad ni, a na pa Jehoahaz hah a tâ teh kho a la pouh e naw hah Joash ni vai thum touh a tâ teh Isarel khopui hah bout a la.
