2 Kings 8
1 After Elisha caused the son of the woman from Shunem [town] to become alive again, he told her that she should leave with her family and live somewhere else for a while, because Yahweh was going to (send a famine/cause food to become very scarce) in the land. He said that the famine would last for seven years.
Elisha ni a capa a hring sak e napui koevah, thaw haw, nang nama hoi na imthungkhunaw na o thainae hmuen koe lah awm awh. Bangkongtetpawiteh BAWIPA ni takang tho sak vaiteh, hete ram dawk kum 7 touh thung takang a tho han telah a ti.
2 So the woman did what Elisha told her to do. She and her family went to live in [the] Philistia [region] for seven years.
Napui ni a thaw teh Cathut tami e lawk patetlah a sak teh, Filistinnaw e ram dawk kum 7 touh ao.
3 After the seven years were ended, they returned to their home. The woman went to the king to request that her house and her land be given back to her.
A kum 7 kuep toteh hote napui teh Filistin ram hoi a ban. Hahoi a im hoi a law hmuen naw siangpahrang koe hei hanlah a cei.
4 When she arrived, the king was talking with Gehazi, Elisha’s servant. The king was saying to him, “Tell me all the great things that Elisha has done.”
Siangpahrang ni Cathut tami e a san, Gehazi koe Elisha ni hno kângairu a sak e hah na dei pouh haw tie a hei lahunnae tueng doeh.
5 While Gehazi was telling the king that Elisha had caused the son of a woman [from Shunem] to become alive again, that woman came in and requested the king to enable her to get her house and land back again. Gehazi exclaimed, “Your Majesty, this is the woman whose son Elisha caused to become alive again!”
Hahoi tami buet touh kadout tangcoung e a hringsaknae kong a dei navah, hettelah doeh. Khenhaw! a capa a hring sak e napui ni, a im hoi a lawhmuen hah, siangpahrang koe a hei van. Gehazi ni oe siangpahrang ka bawipa hete napui nan mah, Elisha ni a capa a hring sak e heh ma atipouh.
6 When the king asked her about it, she told him [that what Gehazi had said was true]. The king summoned one of his officials and said to him, “[I want] everything that this woman possessed previously, including the value of all the crops that have been harvested during these last seven years while she was away from her land, [to] be given back to her.” [So the official did that].
Siangpahrang ni napui a pacei toteh, a dei pouh. Hot patetlah siangpahrang ni a lungkaha buet touh a pouk pouh. Hete ram a tâcotakhai hnin hoi atu totouh a tawk e pueng totouh be poe awh loe atipouh.
7 Elisha went to Damascus, [the capital of Syria], when Ben-Hadad, the king of Syria, was [very] sick. When someone told the king that Elisha was in Damascus,
Elisha teh, Damaskas kho vah a cei, hahoi Siria siangpahrang Benhadad a pataw, hat torei teh Cathut e tami, hi tho haw telah a dei pouh awh.
8 the king told [one of his officials named] Hazael, “Go and talk to that prophet and take a present/gift with you to give to him. Request him to ask Yahweh if I will recover from my illness.”
Siangpahrang ni, Hazael koevah poehno sin nateh Cathut e tami kâhmo hanlah cet, ka patawnae bout ahawi thai han vaimoe. BAWIPA koe na het pouh haw pawiteh atipouh.
9 So Hazael went to talk with Elisha. He took with him forty camels that were carrying many kinds of goods that were produced in Damascus. When Hazael met him, he said to him, “Your friend Ben-Hadad, the king of Syria, sent me to ask you whether [you think] he will recover from his illness.”
Hezael teh, ahni kâhmo hanlah a cei, poehno poe hanlah, Damaskas kho e hnokahawi phunkuep kalauk 40 touh a phu sak teh, a hmalah a kangdue. Na capa Siria siangpahrang Benhadad ni, ka patawnae he bout kahawi thai han vaimoe tie dei hanlah kai na patoun atipouh.
10 Elisha said to Hazael, “Go and say to him, ‘Yes, you will certainly not die from this illness,’ but Yahweh has shown me that he will certainly die [before he recovers].”
Elisha ni, ahni koe cet leih, ahni koe na hawi mingming han doeh ati telah dei pouh. Hatei a due roeroe hanelah BAWIPA ni na hmu sak telah atipouh.
11 Then Elisha stared at him and had a terrified look on his face. That caused Hazael to feel uneasy/embarrassed. Then [suddenly] Elisha started to cry.
Hahoi mit pakhap laipalah a kaya han totouh takuetluet a khet teh, Cathut e tami a ka.
12 Hazael said, “Sir, why are you crying?” Elisha replied, “Because [Yahweh has enabled] me [to] know the terrible things that you will do to the people of Israel: You will burn their cities with walls around them, you will kill their fine young men with a sword, you will bash the heads of their children, and you will rip open the bellies of their pregnant women [with a sword].”
Hezael ni bangkongmaw ka bawipa teh a ka ati. Ahni ni, Isarel catounnaw koe na sak hane hawihoehnae ka panue dawk doeh. A rapanim teh hmai hoi sawi awh vaiteh, a thoundounnaw hah tahloi hoi a thei awh han. A canaw hah talai dawk rekrek a suk awh han. Camo ka vawn e naw hah, a paset awh han, telah atipouh.
13 Hazael replied, “I am [as insignificant as] [MET] a dog; (how could I do such things?/I would never do such terrible things!)” [RHQ] Elisha replied, “Yahweh has also revealed to me that you will become the king of Syria.”
Hezael ni, kai na san ui patetlah kaawm e ni, hot patet e hno ka lentoe e ka sak thai han namaw atipouh. Elisha ni, Sirianaw e siangpahrang lah na kaawm han doeh tie hah, BAWIPA ni na panue sak telah atipouh.
14 Then Hazael left and returned to his master/boss [the king], who asked him, “What did Elisha say?” He replied, “He told me that you would certainly recover.”
Hahoi teh Elisha koehoi a tâco teh, a bawipa koevah a cei. Ahni ni Elisha ni bangmaw a dei atipouh. Ahni ni bout na hawi han doeh na ti pouh telah atipouh.
15 But the next day, [while the king was sleeping, ] Hazael took a blanket and soaked it in water. Then he spread it on the king’s face [in order that he could not breathe], and he died. Then Hazael became the king of Syria instead of Ben-Hadad.
Hatei a tangtho vah telah ao han, ka tha poung e khohna hah a la teh tui dawk a phum, a minhmai muen a kayo pouh teh a due. Hahoi Hazael teh ahnie yueng lah a bawi.
16 After King Joram, the son of Ahab, had been ruling in Israel for almost five years, Jehoshaphat’s son Jehoram became the king of Judah.
Isarel siangpahrang Ahab capa Joram a bawinae kum panga nah, Jehoshaphat capa Jehoram teh, Judah siangpahrang thaw tawk nueng a kamtawng.
17 He was thirty-two years old when he became the king, and he ruled in Jerusalem for eight years.
Siangpahrang lah ao navah, kum 32 touh a pha, Jerusalem vah kum 8 touh a uk.
18 His wife was the daughter of King Ahab. And like everyone in Ahab’s family, he continually did the evil things that the previous kings of Israel had done. He did things that Yahweh considered to be evil.
Ahab imthungkhunaw patetlah Isarel siangpahrangnaw ni a dawn awh e lamthung a dawn van teh, Ahab canu hah yu lah a la. Hottelah hoi BAWIPA mithmu vah, hawihoehnae a sak.
19 But Yahweh did not want to get rid of the people of Judah, because of what he had promised David, who served him [very well]. He had promised David that his descendants [MET] would always rule Judah.
Hatei, BAWIPA ni, a san Devit kecu dawk Judah ram hah raphoe han ngai hoeh. Bangkongtetpawiteh a catounnaw totouh han hmaiim lah ang hanelah lawk a kam toe.
20 During the time that Jehoram ruled, [the king of] Edom rebelled against Judah, and they appointed their own king.
Amamouh se nah, Edomnaw teh Judahnaw e kâtawnnae hah a taran awh, amamouh lathueng siangpahrang hanelah amamouh hoi amamouh a kârawi awh.
21 So Jehoram went with his army and all their chariots to Zair [city near the border of Edom]. There the army of Edom surrounded them. But during the night, Jehoram and the commanders in their chariots were able to get through the enemy lines and escaped. And all his soldiers also fled to their homes.
Hahoi teh, Joram ni a ranglengnaw pueng hoi Zair vah a cei, karum vah a kamthaw teh, ama ka kalupnaw Edom taminaw e rangleng dawk e a lungkahanaw hah a tuk pouh awh teh, rim dawkvah koung a yawng awh.
22 So after that, Edom was no longer controlled by Judah, and it is still like that. During that same time, the people of Libnah [city] also freed themselves from being controlled by Judah.
Hot patetlah Edomnaw hah atu totouh, Judahnaw e kâtawnnae hah a taran awh. Hote tueng dawk Libnah hai taran a thaw van.
23 [If you want to read about] the other things that Jehoram did, they are written in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Judah’.
Joram thawtawknae thung dawk hoi kaawm rae naw hoi a tawksak e naw pueng teh Judah siangpahrangnaw setouknae cauk dawk koung thut lah ao nahoehmaw.
24 Jehoram died [EUP] and was buried where the other kings of Judah had been buried in [the part of Jerusalem called] ‘The City of David’. Then Jehoram’s son Ahaziah became the king.
Joram teh a na mintoenaw koe ka ip ni teh a napanaw koe Devit, khopui dawk a pakawp awh. Hahoi a capa Ahiziah ni a yueng lah a uk.
25 After Ahab’s son Joram has been ruling in Israel for almost twelve years, Jehoram’s son Ahaziah became the king of Judah.
Isarel siangpahrang Ahab capa Joram heh siangpahrang a tawknae kum 12 nah Judah siangpahrang Jehoram capa Ahaziah teh siangpahrang lah ao.
26 Ahaziah was twenty-two years old when he started to rule. He ruled in Jerusalem for [only] one year. His mother’s name was Athaliah, [the daughter of King Ahab and] the granddaughter of King Omri of Israel.
Ahaziah ni a uk han a kamtawng na a kum 22 touh a pha teh, Jerusalem vah kum touh a uk. A manu min teh Athaliah, Isarel siangpahrang Omri canu doeh.
27 King Ahab conducted his life just like the members of Ahab’s family had done. He did things that Yahweh considered to be very evil.
Ahab imthungnaw ni a dawn e lamthung a dawn van awh. Ahab imthungkhunaw patetlah BAWIPA mithmu vah, hawihoehnae hah a sak. Bangkongtetpawiteh, Ahab imthungnaw e a cava lah ao.
28 Ahaziah’s army joined the army of King Joram of Israel to fight against the army of King Hazael of Syria. Their armies started fighting at Ramoth [city] in [the] Gilead [region], and the soldiers of Syria wounded Joram.
Ahni teh Ahab capa Joram ni Ramothgilead hoi Siria siangpahrang Hazael a tuknae koe ka bawk van e Sirianaw ni, Joram hah a hmâ a paca awh.
29 King Joram returned to Jezreel [city] to recover from his wounds. King Ahaziah went to visit him there.
Siangpahrang Joram teh, Siria siangpahrang Hazael a tuk navah Sirianaw ni Ramah vah hmâ a ca sak awh e hah, ahawi nahanlah Jezreel vah a ban awh. Judah siangpahrang Jehoram capa Ahaziah teh Ahab capa Joram a pataw dawkvah hloe hanelah Jezreel kho lah a cei.
