2 Chronicles 18
1 Now Jehoshaphat had riches and honor in abundance; and he allied himself with Ahab.
Jehoshaphat te a cungkuem ah khuehtawn neh thangpomnah a om hatah Ahab te a masae nah.
2 After some years, he went down to Ahab to Samaria. Ahab killed sheep and cattle for him in abundance, and for the people who were with him, and moved him to go up with him to Ramoth Gilead.
Kum a thok vaengah tah Samaria kah Ahab taengla suntla tih anih ham neh a taengkah pilnam ham khaw Ahab loh boiva neh saelhung te a cungkuem la a ngawn pah. Te vaengah anih te Ramothgilead paan hamla a vueh.
3 Ahab king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat king of Judah, “Will you go with me to Ramoth Gilead?” He answered him, “I am as you are, and my people as your people. We will be with you in the war.”
Te phoeiah Israel manghai Ahab loh Judah manghai Jehoshaphat te, “Kai taengah Ramothgilead la na lo aya?” a ti nah. Te dongah anih te, “Kai khaw nang banghui, na pilnam khaw ka pilnam ni. Caemtloek dongah khaw nang taengah ka om ni,” a ti nah.
4 Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel, “Please inquire first for the LORD’s word.”
Tedae Jehoshaphat loh Israel manghai taengah, “BOEIPA ol te a khohnin bangla toem laeh,” a ti nah.
5 Then the king of Israel gathered the prophets together, four hundred men, and said to them, “Shall we go to Ramoth Gilead to battle, or shall I forbear?” They said, “Go up, for God will deliver it into the hand of the king.”
Te vaengah Israel manghai loh tonghma rhoek te hlang ya li a coi tih amih te, “Ramothgilead ah caemtloek la na lo aya? Ka paa mai aya?,” a ti nah. Te dongah, “Cet sih, Pathen loh manghai kut ah m'paek bitni,” a ti na uh.
6 But Jehoshaphat said, “Isn’t there here a prophet of the LORD besides, that we may inquire of him?”
Tedae Jehoshaphat loh, “Amah te n'toem uh ham khaw BOEIPA kah tonghma om pueng pawt nim he,” a ti nah.
7 The king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, “There is yet one man by whom we may inquire of the LORD; but I hate him, for he never prophesies good concerning me, but always evil. He is Micaiah the son of Imla.” Jehoshaphat said, “Don’t let the king say so.”
Israel manghai loh Jehoshaphat taengah, “Anih lamloh BOEIPA dawt sak ham hlang pakhat om pueng dae anih te ka thiinah. Anih te kai ham tah a then la a tonghma moenih. A hnin takuem ah thae mai. Anih te Imlah capa Mikhaiah ni,” a ti nah. Te vaengah Jehoshaphat loh, “Te te manghai kah a thui koi moenih,” a ti nah.
8 Then the king of Israel called an officer, and said, “Get Micaiah the son of Imla quickly.”
Te dongah Israel manghai loh imkhoem pakhat te a khue tih, “Imlah capa Mikhaiah tlek han khue,” a ti nah.
9 Now the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah each sat on his throne, arrayed in their robes, and they were sitting in an open place at the entrance of the gate of Samaria; and all the prophets were prophesying before them.
Israel manghai neh Judah manghai Jehoshaphat tah a ngolkhoel dongah ngol rhoi tih himbai a bai rhoi. Te vaengah Samaria vongka thohka kah cangtilhmuen ah ngol uh tih tonghma boeih te amih mikhmuh ah tonghma uh.
10 Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah made himself horns of iron and said, “The LORD says, ‘With these you shall push the Syrians, until they are consumed.’”
Te vaengah Kenaanah capa Zedekiah loh amah ham thi ki a saii tih, “BOEIPA loh he ni a. thui. He nen he amih a khah hil Aram te na thoeh bitni,” a ti nah.
11 All the prophets prophesied so, saying, “Go up to Ramoth Gilead, and prosper; for the LORD will deliver it into the hand of the king.”
Tonghma boeih khaw tonghma uh tangloeng tih, “Ramothgilead te paan lamtah thaihtak laeh, BOEIPA loh manghai kut ah m'paek bitni,” a ti uh.
12 The messenger who went to call Micaiah spoke to him, saying, “Behold, the words of the prophets declare good to the king with one mouth. Let your word therefore, please be like one of theirs, and speak good.”
Mikhaiah te khue hamla aka cet puencawn long tah anih te a uen tih, “Tonghma rhoek kah ol tah olka pakhat la a om ke manghai ham khaw then ne. Te dongah nang ol khaw amih neh pakhat la om pawn saeh lamtah a then mah thui,” a ti nah.
13 Micaiah said, “As the LORD lives, I will say what my God says.”
Tedae Mikhaiah loh, “BOEIPA kah hingnah dongah kai kah Pathen amah loh a thui bueng te ni ka thui eh?,” a ti nah.
14 When he had come to the king, the king said to him, “Micaiah, shall we go to Ramoth Gilead to battle, or shall I forbear?” He said, “Go up, and prosper. They shall be delivered into your hand.”
Manghai taeng a pha vaengah manghai loh anih te, “Maikah, Ramothgilead te caemtloek la ka cet aya? Ka paa uh aya?,” a ti nah. Te vaengah, “Cet uh lamtah thaihtak uh, nangmih kut ah m'paek uh hatko,” a ti nah.
15 The king said to him, “How many times shall I adjure you that you speak to me nothing but the truth in the LORD’s name?”
Tedae manghai loh anih te, “BOEIPA ming neh oltak bueng phoeiah kai taengah a tloe thui boeh tila nang te kai loh voei meyet hil nim kan toemngam ve,” a ti nah.
16 He said, “I saw all Israel scattered on the mountains, as sheep that have no shepherd. The LORD said, ‘These have no master. Let them each return to his house in peace.’”
Te vaengah, “Israel boeih te tlang ah boiva bangla a taekyak te ka hmuh, amih aka dawn ham khaw om pawh. Te dongah BOEIPA loh, 'He rhoek he boei a om moenih, hlang he ngaimongnah neh amah im la mael uh saeh,’ a ti,” a ti nah.
17 The king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, “Didn’t I tell you that he would not prophesy good concerning me, but evil?”
Israel manghai loh Jehoshaphat te, “Nang taengah ka thui moenih a? Kai soah a thae lam bueng ni, a then la a tonghma tlaih moenih,” a ti nah.
18 Micaiah said, “Therefore hear the LORD’s word: I saw the LORD sitting on his throne, and all the army of heaven standing on his right hand and on his left.
Te vaengah, “Te dongah BOEIPA ol he hnatun uh. A ngolkhoel dongah aka ngol BOEIPA te ka hmuh. Vaan caempuei boeih khaw amah kah banvoei bantang ah pai uh.
19 The LORD said, ‘Who will entice Ahab king of Israel, that he may go up and fall at Ramoth Gilead?’ One spoke saying in this way, and another saying in that way.
BOEIPA loh, “U long nim Israel manghai Ahab te a cuek lah ve? Te dongah cet lah vetih Ramothgilead ah cungku mako,’ a ti. Te vaengah tah, 'He long khaw he coeng ni a ti tih te long khaw te coeng ni a ti,’ a ti nah.
20 A spirit came out, stood before the LORD, and said, ‘I will entice him.’ “The LORD said to him, ‘How?’
Tedae mueihla ha pawk vaengah tah BOEIPA mikhmuh ah pai tih, “Kamah loh anih te ka cuek eh?,” a ti nah. Te vaengah BOEIPA loh anih te ni, “Me nen lae,” a ti nah.
21 “He said, ‘I will go, and will be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets.’ “He said, ‘You will entice him, and will prevail also. Go and do so.’
Te vaengah, “Ka cet vetih a tonghma rhoek boeih kah a ka khuiah laithae mueihla la ka om ni,” a ti nah. Te daengah, “Cuek lamtah coeng bal bitni, cet lamtah saii tangloeng laeh,” a ti nah.
22 “Now therefore, behold, the LORD has put a lying spirit in the mouth of these your prophets; and the LORD has spoken evil concerning you.”
Te dongah BOEIPA nang kah tonghma rhoek he a ka ah laithae mueihla a khueh pah coeng he. Te phoeiah BOEIPA loh nang hamla boethae a thui coeng,” a ti nah.
23 Then Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah came near, and struck Micaiah on the cheek, and said, “Which way did the LORD’s Spirit go from me to speak to you?”
Te vaengah Kenaanah capa Zedekiah te thoeih tih Mikhaiah te a kam ah a thoek. Te phoeiah, “Nang aka voek ham BOEIPA mueihla te kai taeng lamloh mekah longpuei lam a caeh he,” a ti nah.
24 Micaiah said, “Behold, you shall see on that day, when you go into an inner room to hide yourself.”
Mikhaiah loh, “Thuh uh hamla imkhui kah imkhui la na caeh vaengkah khohnin ah namah loh hmu ne,” a ti nah.
25 The king of Israel said, “Take Micaiah, and carry him back to Amon the governor of the city, and to Joash the king’s son;
Israel manghai loh, “Mikhaiah te khuen uh, anih te khopuei mangpa Amon taeng neh manghai capa Joash taengla khuen uh.
26 and say, ‘The king says, “Put this fellow in the prison, and feed him with bread of affliction and with water of affliction, until I return in peace.”’”
Te vaengah, 'Manghai loh he ni a. thui, anih he thong im ah khueh uh, anih te sading la ka mael hil nennah buh neh nennah tui mah cah uh,” a ti nah.
27 Micaiah said, “If you return at all in peace, the LORD has not spoken by me.” He said, “Listen, you people, all of you!”
Tedae Mikhaiah loh, “Sading la na mael la na mael atah BOEIPA loh kai dongah thui pawt mako,” a ti nah. Te phoeiah, “Te boeih te pilnam loh ya saeh,” a ti nah.
28 So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah went up to Ramoth Gilead.
Te dongah Israel manghai neh Judah manghai Jehoshaphat tah Ramothgilead la cet rhoi.
29 The king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, “I will disguise myself, and go into the battle; but you put on your robes.” So the king of Israel disguised himself; and they went into the battle.
Tedae Israel manghai loh Jehoshaphat te, “Caemtloek la kun vaengah ka thohai uh mai eh. Tedae nang tah na himbai bai,” a ti nah. Te dongah Israel manghai te thohai uh tih caemtloek la cet.
30 Now the king of Syria had commanded the captains of his chariots, saying, “Don’t fight with small nor great, except only with the king of Israel.”
Aram manghai long khaw amah taengkah leng mangpa rhoek te a uen tih, “Israel manghai amah bueng phoeiah tah a yit a len khaw tloek uh boeh,” a ti nah.
31 When the captains of the chariots saw Jehoshaphat, they said, “It is the king of Israel!” Therefore they turned around to fight against him. But Jehoshaphat cried out, and the LORD helped him; and God moved them to depart from him.
Leng mangpa rhoek loh Jehoshaphat te a hmuh uh tih amih loh te te Israel manghai a ti uh. Te dongah anih te tloek hamla a vael uh dae Jehoshaphat la pang. BOEIPA loh anih te a bom tih amih te khaw Pathen amah lamloh puk a va sak.
32 When the captains of the chariots saw that it was not the king of Israel, they turned back from pursuing him.
Leng mangpa rhoek loh a hmuh vaengah Israel manghai te a om pah pawt tih anih hnuk lamloh mael uh.
33 A certain man drew his bow at random, and struck the king of Israel between the joints of the armor. Therefore he said to the driver of the chariot, “Turn around and carry me out of the battle, for I am severely wounded.”
Tedae hlang pakhat loh a thincaknah neh lii te a phuk hatah Israel manghai te rhuhcong laklo neh caempho laklo ah a kah. Te dongah lengboei te na kut, na kut te hooi laeh. Ka tlo coeng tih caem khui lamloh kai n'khuen laeh,” a ti nah.
34 The battle increased that day. However, the king of Israel propped himself up in his chariot against the Syrians until the evening; and at about sunset, he died.
Te vaengah caemtloek te hnin at puet puh mai. Tedae Israel manghai tah sut om tih Aram dan kah leng khuiah hlaem duela pai. Tedae khomik a khum tue vaengah duek.
