< 2 Kings 3 >
1 Now in the eighteenth year of Jehoshaphat king of Judah, Joram son of Ahab began to reign over Israel in Samaria; he reigned twelve years.
Judah gam’a Jehoshaphat lenggam vai poh kum somle get chan kum chun Ahab chapa Joram in Israel te chunga vai anapon ahi. Aman Samaria khopia kum somle ni vai ana pon ahi.
2 He did what was evil in the sight of Yahweh, but not like his father and his mother; for he removed the sacred stone pillar of Baal that his father had made.
Amahin anule apa tobang lom in thilse ana bolpon ahinlah Pathen mitmu’n thilse jeng anabollin ahi. Amahin apan anatundoh Baal houna dia apan anatun khumpi theng teho vang anavo lhun ahi.
3 Nevertheless he held on to the sins of Jeroboam son of Nebat, who caused Israel to sin; he did not turn away from them.
Ahijing vang'in Nebat chapa Jeroboam in Israel mipite ana chonset sahna hiche chonsetna chu ana chejompi jingin ahi.
4 Now Mesha king of Moab bred sheep. He had to give to the king of Israel 100,000 lambs and the wool of 100,000 rams.
Moab mi Mesha lengpa chu kelngoi chi pun sahmi anahi. Amahin Israel lengpahi kumseh a kelngoi sang jakhat chuleh kelchal sang jakhat mul anapehji ahi.
5 But after Ahab died, the king of Moab rebelled against the king of Israel.
Ahinlah Ahab athi phat in Moab lengpan Israel lengpa ana doutan ahi.
6 So King Joram left Samaria at that time to mobilize all Israel for war.
Hijeh chun Joram lengpan jong Samaria konin Israel sepai gangtah in ahin toldoh in,
7 He sent a message to Jehoshaphat king of Judah, saying, “The king of Moab has rebelled against me. Will you go with me against Moab to battle?” Jehoshaphat replied, “I will go. I am as you are, my people as your people, my horses as your horses.”
Lampia chun Judah lengpa Jehoshaphat chu thu agah thot’in, “Moab lengpa kei dounan gal ahin boltan ahi, amaho toh kisatna ding ahi neihung panhu theiding hinam? atin ahi. Hichun Jehoshaphat in adonbut in, “Ibola kahung da ding ham? Nangle kei thakhat ihi chula am? Kei sepai hochu nang sepai ahin, kasakol hochu nang sakol ahi,” ati.
8 Then he said, “By which way should we attack?” Jehoshaphat answered, “By way of the wilderness of Edom.”
Hijou chun Jehoshaphat in adongin, “Hoiche lampi iho ding ham?” atile Joram in adonbut in, “Edom gamthip noija kona inokhum ding ahi,” ati.
9 So the king of Israel went with the king of Judah and the king of Edom. They wandered around for seven days, and then there was no water for the army or for the animals that followed them.
Hichun Edom lengpan jong ahin jop in, athum’un nisagi sungin gamthip noija chun avel lam in akitollun ahi.” Ahin mihem le gancha dingin twi anei tapouvin ahi.
10 So the king of Israel said, “What is this? Has Yahweh called three kings to give them into the hand of Moab?”
“Ipi itidiu hitam?” tin Israel lengpa chu ahung pengjah jingin ahi, “Pakaiyin hilai mun nahi Moab lengpa jovah dinga hi eihin puilut u hita hila,” ati.
11 But Jehoshaphat said, “Is there not here a prophet of Yahweh, that we may consult Yahweh by him?” One of the king of Israel's servants answered and said, “Elisha son of Shaphat is here, who poured water on the hands of Elijah.”
Ahin Judah lengpan Jehoshaphat in, “I-lah uva themgao jaolouva ham? Aumma ahileh i-iti diuham idoh theiju ahi,” ati. Joram lengpa noija lamkai khat in ahin donbut’in, “Saphat chapa Elisha chu hikom’a aume ati. Amahi Elijah noija natong ahi,” ahin tin ahi.
12 Jehoshaphat said, “The word of Yahweh is with him.” So the king of Israel, Jehoshaphat, and the king of Edom went down to him.
Hichun Jehoshaphat in, “Ama koma hi Pakaiyin thu aseiji ahitai,” ati. Hiti chun Israelte, Judahte chule Edom leng ho chu Elisha adong din ache tauvin ahi.
13 Elisha said to the king of Israel, “What have I to do with you? Go to the prophets of your father and mother.” So the king of Israel said to him, “No, because Yahweh has called these three kings together to give them into the hand of Moab.”
Elisha’n Israel lengpa kom’ah, “Ipi dinga kei kom’a nahung uham? Nanu le napa themgao kom’a nacheule iti ham?” ati. Hichun Israel lengpa Joram chun ahipoi, “Pakaiyin leng thum hohi Moab lengpan ajodinga eihin puilut’u ahibouve,” ati.
14 Elisha replied, “As Yahweh of hosts lives, before whom I stand, surely were it not for the fact that I honor the presence of Jehoshaphat king of Judah, I would not pay any attention to you, or even look at you.
Elisha’n adonbut in, “Keiman kahou Hatchungnung Pakai minna kasei ahi, Judah lengpa Jehoshaphat kaja lou hileh nanghi kadonlou ding nahi,” ati.
15 But now bring me a musician.” Then it came to pass when the harpist played, the hand of Yahweh came upon Elisha.
“Koipen nahiuvem, nalah uva semjangsai them naum uvem? Ama chu kakom’a hinpuilut un,” ati. Semjang chu asai peh phat in Pakai thahatna chu Elisha chunga ahung chutan ahi leh,
16 He said, “Yahweh says this, 'Make this dry river valley full of trenches.'
Aman hiti hin asei peh tan ahi, “Pakaiyin aseije, Hiche phaicham hi twi dimna twikul hung hi ding ahi.
17 For Yahweh says this, 'You will not see wind, neither will you see rain, but this river valley will be filled with water, and you will drink, you and your livestock and all your animals.'
Nanghon huile go gin najah loudiu ahi, ahinla hiche phaicham hi twi hung dimset ding ahi. Chutengle, nanghon nangho dingle nagancha hole ganhing dangho dinga jong nanei letset diu ahi tin Pakaiyin aseije,” ati.
18 This is an easy thing in the sight of Yahweh. He will also give you victory over the Moabites.
“Ahin hiche hi Pakai dinga imacha ahipoi, ajeh chu aman Moab sepaite chunga jong gal najosah diu ahi,” ati.
19 You will attack every fortified city and every good city, cut down every good tree, stop up all springs of water, and ruin every good piece of land with rocks.”
“Nanghon akhopiu phalai ho jouse jong chuleh kul kigetkhum hojong nalah diu, athingphung phalai jeng jong nalah diu, natuhchaidiu, atwikhuh hou jing jong nadip pehdiu agamphalai jouse jong song nadip sahdiu, nasuhmang pehdiu ahi,” ati.
20 So in the morning about the time of offering the sacrifice, there came water from the direction of Edom; the country was filled with water.
Ajing nikhon, jingkah gan kilhaina semphat don laitah in, phulou helouvin twi ahung putdoh tan ahi. Hichu Edom lang ngan ah alongin ahi.
21 Now when all the Moabites heard that the kings had come to fight against them, they gathered themselves together, all who were able to put on armor, and they stood at the border.
Langkhat ah galmi thum, amaho doudin ahung kitol’e tithu Moab miten ajahdoh phat’un, amahon chempai kiko theibep chan geijin gamgi dungjui chun akigol jeng un ahi.
22 They awakened early in the morning and the sun reflected on the water. When the Moabites saw the water opposite them, it looked as red as blood.
Ahinlah ajing jingkah in, athoudoh un ahile nisa chun twi chung chu akhon ahileh Moab mite ding chun asan in, thisan abangtan ahi.
23 They exclaimed, “This is blood! The kings have certainly been destroyed, and they have killed each other! So now, Moab, let us go plunder them!”
Moab miten asam’un “Hiche kho thisan ahi, galmi thumho khu amaho le amaho kithat touva ahitai - Moab mite cheu hitin athil’u gakichom uhite,” akitiuve.
24 When they came to the camp of Israel, the Israelites surprised them and attacked the Moabites, who fled before them. The army of Israel drove the Moabites across the land, killing them.
Ahinlah Moab mite chu Israelte ngahmun ahunglhun phat’un, Israel galmi hochu alhaidoh un amaho chu anokhum un, Moab gamgeijin ano uvin achejom’un thil jouse asubei soh jengun ahi.
25 They destroyed the cities, and on every good piece of land every man threw a rock until it was covered up. They stopped up every spring of water and chopped down all the good trees. Only Kir Hareseth was left with its rocks in place. But the soldiers armed with slings surrounded and attacked it.
Amahon akhopi houchu asubei jun, agampha laiho jouse chu song in adip’un, atwikhuh hou asubing un, athingphung phajouse aphuh lhuh peh’un ahi. Ajona in Kir-hareseth leh asongpal ho bou akhen tauvin ahi, ahin song sep themhon aumkimvel un anokhum tauvin ahi.
26 When King Mesha of Moab saw that the battle was lost, he took with him seven hundred swordsmen to break through to the king of Edom, but they failed.
Moab lengpan gal alal chu amudoh phat’in chemjam lamthei cheh mi jasagi toh Edom lengpa komlang chu phutvang un jamdoh agouvin ahileh ajou tapouvin ahi.
27 Then he took his oldest son, who should have reigned after him, and offered him as a burnt offering upon the wall. So there was great anger against Israel, and the Israelite army left King Mesha and returned to their own land.
Hijou chun Moab lengpan achapa tahpen, ama khel a leng chang dingpa chu aman’in palchunga chun kilhaina dingin akatdoh tan ahi. Hijeh chun Israel chungah lunghanna nasatah ahung chutan ahileh Israelte akinung haijun agamlang uvah akinungle tauvin ahi.
