< 1 Kings 22 >

1 Three years passed without war between Aram and Israel.
Kum thung touh thung Siria hoi Isarel rahak vah tarankâtuknae awm hoeh.
2 Then it came about that in the third year, Jehoshaphat the king of Judah went down to the king of Israel.
A kum pâthumnae dawk Judah siangpahrang Jehoshaphat teh Isarel siangpahrang koevah a cei.
3 Now the king of Israel had said to his servants, “Do you know that Ramoth Gilead is ours, but that we are doing nothing to take it from the hand of the king of Aram?”
Isarel siangpahrang ni a sannaw koevah, Gilead ram e Ramoth teh kaie ti a panue nahlangva, bangkongmaw Siria siangpahrang lawm laipalah o awh han, telah ati.
4 So he said to Jehoshaphat, “Will you go with me to war at Ramoth Gilead?” Jehoshaphat replied to the king of Israel, “I am like you, my people are like your people, and my horses are like your horses.”
Hatdawkvah, ahni ni Jehoshaphat koevah, Ramothgilead teh na tuk khai ngai han na ou, telah atipouh. Jehoshaphat ni Isarel siangpahrang koevah, kai hoi nang, ka taminaw hoi na taminaw teh buet touh lah o awh teh, kaie marang hoi nange marangnaw hai buet touh doeh telah atipouh.
5 Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel, “Please seek direction from the word of Yahweh for what you should do first.”
Jehoshaphat ni Isarel siangpahrang koevah, BAWIPA e lawk hah ring ei telah atipouh.
6 Then the king of Israel gathered the prophets together, four hundred men, and said to them, “Should I go to Ramoth Gilead to battle, or should I not?” They said, “Attack, for the Lord will give it into the hand of the king.”
Hatdawkvah, Isarel siangpahrang ni profet cumpali tabang a kaw teh, ahnimouh koevah, Ramothgilead tuk hanelah ka cei han maw, ka cet mahoeh maw telah a pacei. Ahnimouh ni cet yawkaw, bangkongtetpawiteh, BAWIPA ni siangpahrang kut dawk na poe han telah ati awh.
7 But Jehoshaphat said, “Is there not here yet another prophet of Yahweh from whom we might seek advice?”
Jehoshaphat ni hivah BAWIPA Cathut e profet buetbuet touh pouknae hei hanelah awm hoeh toung maw, telah ati.
8 The king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, “There is still one man by whom we may seek advice from Yahweh to help, Micaiah son of Imlah, but I hate him because he does not prophesy anything good about me, but only hardships.” But Jehoshaphat said, “May the king not say that.”
Isarel siangpahrang ni Jehoshaphat koevah, BAWIPA koe na kâhet pout hane tami buet touh Imlah capa Mikaiah tie ao. Hateiteh, ahni teh ka hmuhma e lah ao. Bangkongtetpawiteh, kaie kong dawk a thoenae hloilah hawinae koelah banghai dei hoeh telah atipouh.
9 Then the king of Israel called an officer and commanded, “Bring Micaiah son of Imlah, right away.”
Hatdawkvah, Isarel siangpahrang ni bawi buet touh a kaw teh, Imlah capa Mikaiah hah karanglah thokhai haw telah atipouh.
10 Now Ahab the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah were sitting each on a throne, clothed in their robes, in an open place at the entrance of the gate of Samaria, and all the prophets were prophesying before them.
Isarel siangpahrang hoi Judah siangpahrang Jehoshaphat teh Samaria kalupnae longkha kâennae teng e cangkatinnae yawn dawk, siangpahrang khohna hoi a kamthoup roi teh, a bawitungkhung lengkaleng dawk a tahung roi. Hahoi, profetnaw ni ahnimouh roi e hmalah lawk hah a pâpho awh.
11 Zedekiah son of Kenaanah made himself horns of iron and said, “Yahweh says this: 'With these you will push the Arameans until they are consumed.'”
Khenanah e capa Zedekiah ni sumki hah a sak pouh teh, BAWIPA ni hettelah a dei, hete kinaw hoiyah Siria taminaw hah koung kadout lah na deng awh han telah atipouh.
12 Then all the prophets prophesied the same, saying, “Attack Ramoth Gilead and win, for Yahweh has given it into the hand of the king.”
Hot patetvanlah, profetnaw pueng nihai, Ramothgilead vah luen awh nateh, tâ awh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, BAWIPA ni siangpahrang kut dawk na poe awh han telah a dei pouh awh.
13 The messenger who went to call Micaiah spoke to him, saying, “Now look, the words of the prophets declare good things to the king with one mouth. Please let your word be like one of them and say good things.”
Mikaih kaw hanlah patoune ni, khenhaw! profetnaw ni kâvan e lawk buet touh hah a kuet awh teh, kahawi e lah dueng siangpahrang koevah, lawk rip a dei awh toe. Ahnimouh ni a dei awh e patetvanlah, nang ni hai dei van leih, kahawi e lah dei van haw telah atipouh.
14 Micaiah replied, “As Yahweh lives, it is what Yahweh says to me that I will say.”
Mikaiah ni BAWIPA a hring e patetlah BAWIPA ni kai koe a dei e doeh kai ni teh ka dei tih telah atipouh.
15 When he came to the king, the king said to him, “Micaiah, should we go to Ramoth Gilead for battle, or not?” Micaiah answered him, “Attack and win. Yahweh will give it into the hand of the king.”
Siangpahrang koe a pha toteh, siangpahrang ni Ramothgilead tuk hanlah ka cei han maw, ka cet mahoeh maw telah a pacei. Ahni ni siangpahrang koevah, cet nateh tâ, bangkongtetpawiteh, BAWIPA ni siangpahrang kut dawk na poe han telah atipouh.
16 Then the king said to him, “How many times must I require you to swear to tell me nothing but the truth in the name of Yahweh?”
Siangpahrang ni lawkkatang laipalah kai oe BAWIPA min lahoi dei hoeh hanlah avai nâyittouh maw lawk na kam sak han, telah ati.
17 So Micaiah said, “I saw all Israel scattered to the mountains, like sheep who have no shepherd, and Yahweh said, 'These have no shepherd. Let every man return to his house in peace.'”
Ahni ni, Isarelnaw pueng teh khoumkung ka tawn hoeh e tu patetlah mon dawk koung a kâkahei awh e hah ka hmu. BAWIPA ni hete taminaw ni kahrawikung tawn awh hoeh toe. Amae im dawk lengkaleng lungmawngcalah ban awh naseh, telah ati atipouh.
18 So the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, “Did I not tell you that he would not prophesy good concerning me, but only disaster?”
Isarel siangpahrang ni Jehoshaphat koevah, kaie kong dawk thoenae hloilah kahawi e koelah banghai dei mahoeh telah yo ka dei toe telah atipouh.
19 Then Micaiah said, “Therefore hear the word of Yahweh: I saw Yahweh sitting on his throne, and all the host of heaven were standing by him on his right hand and on his left.
Hatdawkvah, Mikaiah ni, BAWIPA e lawk heh thai haw. BAWIPA teh a bawitungkhung dawk kalvan vah a tahung teh kalvantaminaw pueng avoilah aranglah a kangdue e ka hmu.
20 Yahweh said, 'Who will entice Ahab, so that he may go up and fall at Ramoth Gilead?' One of them said this and another one said that.
Hahoi, BAWIPA ni Ahab heh Ramothgilead vah a luen vaiteh taran kut dawk due hanlah apinimaw a tacuek telah atipouh. Buet touh ni hettelah a dei teh, alouke ni hottelah ati.
21 Then a spirit came forward, stood before Yahweh, and said, 'I will entice him.' Yahweh said to him, 'How?'
Hatdawkvah, muitha buet touh a tâco teh, BAWIPA hmalah a kangdue. Kai ni ka tacuek han telah atipouh.
22 The spirit replied, 'I will go out and be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets.' Yahweh replied, 'You will entice him, and you will also be successful. Go now and do so.'
BAWIPA ni ahni koevah, bangtelamaw telah atipouh. Ahni ni ka cei vaiteh a profetnaw pueng e pahni dawk laithoe muitha lah ka o han telah atipouh. Hahoi, BAWIPA ni, na tacuek pawiteh na tacuek thai han doeh. Cet nateh hottelah sak telah atipouh.
23 Now see, Yahweh has put a lying spirit in the mouth of all these prophets of yours, and Yahweh has decreed disaster for you.”
Hatdawkvah, khenhaw! BAWIPA ni hete na profetnaw pueng e a pahni dawk laithoe muitha hah a ta teh, BAWIPA ni nangmouh rawk nahane kong hah a dei toe telah atipouh.
24 Then Zedekiah son of Kenaanah, came up, slapped Micaiah on the cheek, and said, “Which way did the Spirit of Yahweh take to go from me to speak to you?”
Hottelah Kenaanah e capa Zedekiah ni rek a hnai teh, Mikaiah e tamboung dawk a tambei. Nang koe lawk dei hanelah BAWIPA ni a patoun e muitha ni na lae lam dawk hoi maw kai koe hoi a cei telah atipouh.
25 Micaiah said, “Look, you will see on that day when you will go to hide in an inner room.”
Mikaiah ni, khenhaw! kâhro hanlah imrakhan thung hoi na kâen hnin vah na panue han telah atipouh.
26 The king of Israel said to his servant, “Seize Micaiah and take him to Amon, the governor of the city, and to Joash, my son.
Hat toteh, Isarel siangpahrang ni, Mikaiah heh khopui kaukkung Ammon e capa Joash koevah cetkhai awh leih.
27 Say to him, 'The king says, Put this man in prison and feed him with only a little bread and only a little water, until I come safely.'”
Hahoi, hete tami heh thongim pabawt awh nateh, roumnae hoi ka ban hoehroukrak, rawca hoi tui yitca dueng poe awh tet pouh atipouh.
28 Then Micaiah said, “If you return safely, then Yahweh has not spoken by me.” Then he added, “Listen to this, all you people.”
Hateiteh, Mikhaiah ni, karoumcalah na ban awh pawiteh, BAWIPA ni kai hno lahoi lawk dei hoeh tinae lah ao han telah atipouh. Ama ni, nangmanaw pueng ni kahawicalah pâkuem awh telah letlang ati.
29 So Ahab, the king of Israel, and Jehoshaphat, the king of Judah, went up to Ramoth Gilead.
Hottelah Isarel siangpahrang hoi Judah siangpahrang Jehoshaphat teh Ramothgilead vah a takhang roi.
30 The king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, “I will disguise myself and go into the battle, but you put on your royal robes.” So the king of Israel disguised himself and went into the battle.
Isarel siangpahrang ni Jehoshaphat koevah, ka mei kâthung vaiteh, tarantuknae koe ka cei van han. Nang teh siangpahrang khohna hah kho telah atipouh. Hatdawkvah, Isarel siangpahrang teh a mei a kâthung teh tarantuknae koe a cei.
31 Now the king of Aram had commanded the thirty-two captains of his chariots, saying, “Do not attack unimportant or important soldiers. Instead, attack only the king of Israel.”
Siria siangpahrang ni leng kâcuinaw 32 touh koevah, Isarel siangpahrang laipalah, tami kathoeng kalen apihai tuk awh hanh telah kâ a poe.
32 It came about that when the captains of the chariots saw Jehoshaphat they said, “Surely that is the king of Israel.” They turned to attack him, so Jehoshaphat cried out.
Leng kaukkungnaw ni Jehoshaphat a hmu awh toteh, hetteh Isarel siangpahrang roeroe doeh, telah ati awh. Hatdawkvah, ahni tuk hanelah a kamlang awh dawkvah, Jehoshaphat teh a hram.
33 It came about that when the commanders of the chariots saw that it was not the king of Israel, they turned back from pursuing him.
Hateiteh, leng kâcuinaw ni Isarel siangpahrang nahoeh tie a panue awh toteh, ahni pâleinae koehoi a ban takhai awh.
34 But a certain man drew his bow at random and shot the king of Israel between the joints of his armor. Then Ahab said to the driver of his chariot, “Turn around and carry me out of the battle, for I am badly wounded.”
Tami buet touh ni noe laipalah, samtang a pathui boteh, Isarel siangpahrang e saiphei rahak vah pala teh a kâen dawkvah, ahni ni leng ka mawng koevah, kamlang nateh, tarankâtuknae hmuen koehoi na tâcawtkhai leih. Bangkongtetpawiteh, a hmâ ka ca toe telah atipouh.
35 The battle grew worse that day and the king was held up in his chariot facing the Arameans. He died in the evening. The blood ran out from his wound into the bottom of the chariot.
Hote hnin dawk tarantuknae teh a patawpoung teh siangpahrang teh a leng van vah Sirianaw e hmuen dawk a kangdue sak awh teh, tangmin lah a due. A hmâ dawk hoi leng van vah a thi teh a kui.
36 Then about the time the sun was going down, a cry went up throughout the army, saying, “Every man should go back to his city; and every man should go back to his region!”
Kanî aloum tawmlei nah ransanaw thung dawk hoi tami pueng amae kho tangkuem dawk, tami pueng mae ram lah koung ban awh naseh telah thouk a oung awh.
37 So King Ahab died and was brought to Samaria, and they buried him in Samaria.
Siangpahrang teh hottelah a due. Samaria vah a kâenkhai awh teh, hawvah siangpahrang teh a pakawp awh.
38 They washed the chariot by the pool of Samaria, and the dogs licked up his blood (this was where the prostitutes bathed), just as the word of Yahweh had declared.
Samaria tuikamuem rai lah leng hah a pâsu awh teh, BAWIPA ni a dei e lawk patetlah kâyawtnaw tui kamhluknae koe uinaw ni a thi hah a palem.
39 As for the other matters concerning Ahab, all that he did, the ivory house that he built, and all the cities that he built, are they not written in the book of the events of the kings of Israel?
Hottelah Ahab kâroenae thung dawk hoi kacawiraenaw hoi a sak e naw pueng hoi kasaino hoi a sak e im hoi a sak e khonaw pueng hah Isarel siangpahrangnaw setouknae cauk dawk thut lah awm hoehnamaw.
40 So Ahab slept with his ancestors, and Ahaziah his son became king in his place.
Hottelah, Ahab teh a na mintoenaw koevah, a i teh a capa Ahaziah ni a yueng lah a bawi
41 Then Jehoshaphat son of Asa began to reign over Judah in the fourth year of Ahab king of Israel.
Hahoi Isarel siangpahrang Ahab a bawinae a kum pali nah Asa capa Jehoshaphat teh Judah taminaw lathueng vah siangpahrang lah ao.
42 Jehoshaphat was thirty-five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned in Jerusalem twenty-five years. His mother's name was Azubah, the daughter of Shilhi.
Jehoshaphat teh siangpahrang lah a tawk nah a kum 35 touh a pha. Jerusalem kho vah, a kum 25 touh a uk. A manu min teh Azubah, ahni teh Shilhi canu doeh.
43 He walked in the ways of Asa, his father; he did not turn away from them; he did what was right in the eyes of Yahweh. Yet the high places were not taken away. The people were still sacrificing and burning incense on the high places.
A na pa Asa ni a dawn e lamthung pueng hah a dawn van teh, phen laipalah, BAWIPA e mithmu vah hnokahawi a sak. Hateiteh, hmuenrasang teh puen awh hoeh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, hmuenrasang dawk taminaw ni a thueng awh teh, hmuitui hah hmai a sawi awh rah.
44 Jehoshaphat made peace with the king of Israel.
Hahoi Jehoshaphat ni Isarel siangpahrang hoi roumnae a sak.
45 As for the other matters concerning Jehoshaphat, and the might that he showed, and how he waged war, are they not written in the book of the events of the kings of Judah?
Hottelah, Jehoshaphat kâroenae thung dawk hoi kacawirae hnonaw hoi a hno sakthainae a kamnue saknae hoi taran a tuknae kongnaw hah Judah siangpahrangnaw setouknae cauk dawk thut lah awm hoehnamaw.
46 He removed from the land the rest of the cultic prostitutes who had remained in the days of his father Asa.
Hahoi, a na pa Asa a hring nah napuitongpanaw hah a ram dawk hoi koung a pâlei.
47 There was no king in Edom, but a deputy ruled there.
Edom ram dawk siangpahrang ao hoeh dawkvah, siangpahrang a yueng lah kaawm e ni a uk awh.
48 Jehoshaphat built oceangoing ships; they were to go to Ophir for gold, but they did not go because the ships were wrecked at Ezion Geber.
Jehoshaphat ni Ophir ram dawk a patoun teh, sui phu hanelah Tarshish long hah a sak. Hateiteh, cet awh hoeh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, Eziongeber vah long hah a rawk.
49 Then Ahaziah son of Ahab said to Jehoshaphat, “Let my servants sail with your servants in the ships.” But Jehoshaphat would not allow it.
Ahab capa Ahaziah ni Jehoshaphat koevah, ka taminaw heh na taminaw hoi long dawk hoi rei cet awh naseh telah ati. Hatei Jehoshaphat ni ngai hoeh.
50 Jehoshaphat slept with his ancestors and was buried with them in the city of David, his ancestor; Jehoram his son became king in his place.
Jehoshaphat teh a na mintoenaw koe a i teh a na mintoenaw koe, a na min Devit e khopui dawk a pakawp awh. Hahoi a capa Jehoram ni a yueng lah a uk.
51 Ahaziah son of Ahab began to reign over Israel in Samaria in the seventeenth year of Jehoshaphat king of Judah, and he reigned two years over Israel.
Judah siangpahrang Jehoshaphat siangpahrang a tawknae kum 17 navah, Ahab capa Ahaziah teh Samaria khovah, Isarelnaw e siangpahrang lah ao. Isarel hah kum 2 touh a uk.
52 He did what was evil in the sight of Yahweh and walked in the way of his father, in the way of his mother, and in the way of Jeroboam son of Nebat, by which he led Israel to sin.
BAWIPA hmaitung vah thoenae a sak teh, a manu hoi a na pa ni dawn e lamthung hoi Nebat capa Jeroboam, Isarelnaw ka yonsakkung ni dawn e lamthung hai a dawn.
53 He served Baal and worshiped him and so he provoked Yahweh, the God of Israel, to anger, just as his father had done.
Bangkongtetpawiteh, a na pa ni a sak e pueng a sak teh, Baal e thaw hah a tawk teh, a bawk dawkvah, Isarel BAWIPA Cathut a lungkhuek sak.
