2 Kings 7
1 Elisha replied to the king, “Listen to what Yahweh says: ‘He says that by this time tomorrow, at the marketplace here in Samaria, you will be able to buy (ten pounds/five kg.) of fine wheat or (20 pounds/ten kg.) of barley for [only] one piece of silver.’”
Elisha’n adonbut in, “Pakai thupeh ngaijin! Pakaiyin hitin aseije, tuphat don jingteng le Samaria thil kijohna mun’ah antuitah chu atena khat dimchu dangka khatna kijohding, sakol chaang atena dim ni jong dangka khat dinga hung kijoh ding ahi,” ati.
2 The king’s officer said to Elijah, “That cannot happen! Even if Yahweh himself would open the windows of the sky [and send grain down to us], that certainly could not [RHQ] happen!” Elisha replied, “[Because you said that, ] you [SYN] will see it happen, but you will not be able to eat any of the food!”
Hichun lengpa kithopi jing asepai lamkaipa chun Pathen mipa jah a chun, “Pakai amatah in vanna kona van bangkot ahondoh a, hitobang thilchu abol ding hijongleh hithei mong ding hi nam?” atin ahileh Elisha’n jong adonbut in, “Athilsoh ho chu namit tah a vang namu ding ahin, khatcha naneh khah louding ahi,” atipeh tan ahi.
3 That day there were four men who had (leprosy/a dreaded skin disease) who were sitting outside the gate of Samaria [city. They said to each other, “(Why should we] wait here until we die?/[It is ridiculous for us to] wait here until we die.) [RHQ]
Tun khopi kelkot lutna kom’ah miphah li ana um’in ahi. Amaho chu khat le khat akidongto uvin, “Eiho hi thi ngah mai maija ihiti tou thim jingdiu hitam?” akitiuvin ahi.
4 If we go into the city, we will die there, because there is no food there. If we remain sitting here, we will die here. So let’s go to where the army of Syria has set up their tents. If they kill us, we will die. But if they allow us to remain alive, we will not die.”
“Eiho hitia hi ium uleh anngol’a ithi teidiu ahi, khopi sunga lut jong leuhen kel-khoh jeh a ithi thou thou diu ahi, hijehchun Syria sepaite kom’ahin kipelut jing leuhen eihing hoi maitheiju ahi, ijemtia eitha jingu jongleh ithi thou thoudiu ahin, hichu phajolou ham?” akitiuve.
5 So when it was getting dark, those four men went to the camp where the army of Syria had set up their tents. But when they reached the camp, they saw that there was no one there!
Hiti chun jingpi phalvah-in amaho Syria ngahmun ah alut tauvin ahi. Hitia chu angah munna agalut uleh koimacha ana umpon ahi,
6 What had happened was that Yahweh had caused the army of Syria to hear something that sounded like a large army marching with chariots and horses. So they said to each other, “Listen! The king of Israel has hired the kings of Egypt and the Heth people-group [and their armies], and they have come to attack us!”
Ajeh chu Pathen’in sakol lhaigin leh sakol kangtalai lhaigin chule sepai tamtah hung lhailut gin akithonsah in ahileh Israel lengpa hin, “Hit mite le Egypt mite akikou uva eihin nokhum mu ahitai,” atiuva kaple penga jammang gam'a ahitauve.
7 So they all ran away that evening and left their tents and their horses and donkeys there, because [they were afraid that] they would be killed [if they stayed there].
Hijeh a chu kicha behseh uva aponbuh u, asakol teu, asangan teu chuleh athildang ho jouse adalhah uva ahinkhou kihuhhing nading a ana jamdoh gam’ah ahitauve.
8 When those four lepers came to the edge of the area where the soldiers of Syria had set up their tents, they went into one tent, [and saw all the things that had been left there]. So they ate and drank what was there, and they took the silver and the gold and clothes. Then they went [outside the tent] and hid those things. Then they entered another tent, and took things from there, and then went outside and hid them, also.
Miphah hochu ponbuh sungkhatna alut’un chuleh khat’ah alut’un aneuvin adon’un, sana dangka leh ponho akichom’un akisel’un ahi.
9 But then they said to each other, “We are not doing what is right. We have good news [to tell others] today. If we do not tell it to anyone now, and if we wait until morning to tell it, we will certainly be punished [by Yahweh]. So let’s go right now to the palace and tell it to the king’s officials!”
Ajonan amaho akihouvun, “Ibol uhi adih tapoi, tunihi nikhopha khat ahibouve, hichehi eihon mitoh ichankhom lou uhi adihpoi, eihon hitia hi jing geija iche piuva ahileh hamsetna itotei diu ahi. Hijeh chun hung’un eiho cheu hitin lengte khopi sunga miho gahetsah uhite,” akitiuvin ahi.
10 So they went to the guards at the city gates and called out to them, “We went to where the army of Syria had set up their tents, but we did not see or hear anyone there. Their horses and donkeys were still tied up, but their tents were all deserted/abandoned!”
Hiti chun amaho acheuvin khopi sunga kelkot ngah ho chu thilsoh ho agahetsah tauvin ahi. “Keiho Syria mite ngahmun na kalut’un ahile koimacha anaum tapon ahi! Sakol hole Sangan ho ana kihen nalaijin, ponbuh ho jong abang bang in ana um’in, mihem koimacha anaum tapon ahi,” atiuve.
11 The guards shouted the news, and some people [who heard it] went to the palace and reported it there.
Hichun kelkot ngahho chun khopi sunga mipiho lah’a chun hasap in asamphong tauvin ahi.
12 [When] the king [heard it, he] got up out of his bed and said to his officials, “I will tell you what the army of Syria is planning to do. They know that we have no food here, so they have left their tents and are hiding in the fields. They think that we will leave the city [to find some food], and then they will capture us and capture the city.”
Lengpa chu jan khangkim in alupna a konin ahung thoudoh in, anoija lamkai pipui ho kom’a chun hitin aseitan ahi, “Keiman thilsoh hohi kahei, Syria mite hin eiho an ngolla ium uhi ahet ahin, hijeh a chu angah mun u adalhah uva gamlah’a gakisel’ah ahiuve. Amaho hin khopi idalhah uva ipotdoh tenguleh eihohi ahinga matna khopi chu lonkhum ding atiu ahi,” ati.
13 But one of his officials said, “Many of our Israeli people have already died [from (hunger/not having anything to eat]). If those of us who are still alive all stay here, we also will die anyway. So let’s send some men with five of our horses that are still alive to go and see [what has really happened].”
Anoija lamkai holah’a khat chun ahin donbut’in, “Ipi hileh eihon gakholtoh poupou uhite. Sakol athimoh nga hokhu mangchao hitin akholtoh ding sol’u hite. Ijemtia achung'uva thilkhat ahungso tah jongleh, hilai mun ah umjong leu eiho chengto ithikhom thou thoudiu ahin, akhoh dehpoi,” ahin tin ahi.
14 So they chose some men and told them to go in a chariot and find out what had happened to the army of Syria.
Hiti chun sakol kangtalai nichu agongun lengpan Syria sepaite chunga thilsoh chu gakhol toh dingin asol tauvin ahi.
15 They went as far as the Jordan [River]. All along the road they saw clothes and equipment that the soldiers from Syria had thrown away while they were running away very quickly. So the men returned to the king and reported [what they had seen].
Amaho Jordan vadung geijin acheuvin Syria sepaite ponho, manchahho ajamcheh nauva apai thanghou chu aga mu uvin ahung kile un, lengpa kom’a aseitauvin ahi.
16 Then many of the people of Samaria also went [out of the city and went] to where the army of Syria had previously set up their tents. They entered all the tents and took everything. [So there was now plenty of everything!] As a result people could buy ten pounds of fine wheat or 20 pounds of barley for only one piece of silver, which was what Yahweh had said would happen!
Hijou chun Samaria khopi miho chu alhaidoh un, Syria te ngahmun chu agachom tauvin ahi. Hiti chun antuitah tah chu atena dim nga chu dangka khat aman’in chuleh sakol chang atena dim som chu dangka khat man’in, Pakaiyin ana tepbang bang chun akijoh tan ahi.
17 The king of Israel had appointed the officer who was his assistant to supervise what was happening at the marketplace. But as he was standing near the gate, all the people [who were rushing outside the city] trampled on him, and he died, which was what Elisha had said would happen to him when Elisha previously went to talk to the king.
Lengpan a sepai lamkaipa chu kelkot na mipi ting ding chun ana pansah in ahileh mipi hon anolhu uvin, achonlih tauvin ahi. Hiti chun Pathen mipan ain na hung lengpa kom’a ana phondoh tobang bang chun ana sohdoh tan ahi.
18 Elisha had told him that by the next day there would be plenty of food, with the result that anyone could buy ten pounds of fine wheat or 20 pounds of barley for only one piece of silver.
Pathen mipan lengpa kom’achun, “Jing nikho tuphat dontah leh antui tah chu atena dim nga chu dangka khatna kicho ding chuleh sakol chang atena dim som chu dangka khatna kicho ding,” anati ahi.
19 And the officer had answered, “That certainly cannot [RHQ] happen! Even if Yahweh himself would open the sky and send down some grain, that could not happen.” And Elisha had replied, “[Because you said that, ] you [SYN] will see it happen, but you will not be able to eat any of the food!”
Hiche pet tah’a chu lengpa noija sepai lamkai pachun, “Pakaiyin vanna van bangkot jouse ahon lhahding hijongleh hithei ponte ana tin,” ahileh, Pathen mipachun, “Nangin thilsoh chu na mittah a namu ding ama vang naneh mantah louding ahi,” ana tipeh chu,
20 And that is what happened to him. The people [who were rushing out of] the city gate trampled on him, and he died.
Alollhina anahitai, ajeh chu mipihon amachu kotphung ah chun ana chonlih tauvin ahi.
