1 Manghai 22
1 Aram laklo neh Israel laklo ah kum thum caemtloek om kolla kho a sak uh.
Now for three years there was no war between Aram and Israel.
2 A kum thum dongla a pha vaengah tah Judah manghai Jehoshaphat te Israel manghai taengla suntla.
And it came about in the third year, that Jehoshaphat, king of Judah, came down to the king of Israel.
3 Te vaengah Israel manghai loh a sal rhoek te, “Ramothgilead te mamih kah la na ming nama? Tedae Aram manghai kut lamloh te te n'lat parhi mamih n'ngam uh coeng,” a ti nah.
And the king of Israel said to his servants, Do you not see that Ramoth-gilead is ours? and we are doing nothing to get it back from the hands of the king of Aram.
4 Te phoeiah Jehoshaphat te Ramothgilead ah caemtloek ham kai neh cet sih ne? a ti nah. Jehoshaphat loh Israel manghai taengah, “Kai khaw nang banghui ni, ka pilnam khaw na pilnam banghui, ka marhang khaw na marhang banghui,” a ti nah.
And he said to Jehoshaphat, Will you go with me to Ramoth-gilead to make war? And Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel, I am as you are: my people as your people, my horses as your horses.
5 Tedae Jehoshaphat loh Israel manghai taengah, “Tihnin kah bangla BOEIPA ol te dawtlet mai,” a ti nah.
Then Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel, Let us now get directions from the Lord.
6 Te dongah Israel manghai loh tonghma hlang ya li tluk te a coi. Te phoeiah amih te, “Ramothgilead ah caemtloek la ka cet aya? Ka paa aya?,” a ti nah vaengah, “Cet, ka Boeipa loh manghai kut ah m'paek bitni,” a ti uh.
So the king of Israel got all the prophets together, about four hundred men, and said to them, Am I to go to Ramoth-gilead to make war or not? And they said, Go up: for the Lord will give it into the hands of the king.
7 Jehoshaphat loh, “Amah n'dawtlet uh thil ham khaw heah he BOEIPA kah tonghma om pawt nim?” a ti nah.
But Jehoshaphat said, Is there no other prophet of the Lord here from whom we may get directions?
8 Israel manghai loh Jehoshaphat te, “BOEIPA dawtlet ham hlang pakhat om pueng sitoe cakhaw, Imlah capa Mikhaiah long he kai ham tah hnothen neh a tonghma pawt dongah anih te ka hmuhuet. Tedae Imlah capa Mikhaiah tah a boethae bueng ni,” a ti nah. Jehoshaphat loh, “Manghai he te tla a cal moenih,” a ti nah.
And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, There is still one man by whom we may get directions from the Lord, Micaiah, son of Imlah; but I have no love for him, for he is a prophet of evil to me and not of good. And Jehoshaphat said, Let not the king say so.
9 Te dongah Israel manghai loh imkhoem pakhat te a khue tih, “Imlah capa Mikhaiah te a loe la lo,” a ti nah.
Then the king of Israel sent for one of his unsexed servants and said, Go quickly and come back with Micaiah, the son of Imlah.
10 Te vaengah hlang he Israel manghai khaw, Judah manghai Jehoshaphat khaw a himbai bai neh a ngolkhoel neh Samaria vongka thohka kah cangtilhmuen ah ngol uh. Te vaengah tonghma tom khaw amih mikhmuh ah tonghma uh van.
Now the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat, the king of Judah, were seated on their seats of authority, dressed in their robes, by the doorway into Samaria; and all the prophets were acting as prophets before them.
11 Kenaanah capa Zedekiah long tah amah ham thi kii a saii tih, “BOEIPA loh he ni a thui. Amih Aram te a thok hil he nen he na thoeh ni,” a ti nah.
And Zedekiah, the son of Chenaanah, made himself horns of iron and said, The Lord says, Pushing back the Aramaeans with these, you will put an end to them completely.
12 Tonghma boeih khaw tonghma uh tangloeng tih, “Ramothgilead te paan lamtah thaihtak laeh, BOEIPA loh manghai kut ah a tloeng bitni,” a ti uh.
And all the prophets said the same thing, saying, Go up to Ramoth-gilead, and it will go well for you, for the Lord will give it into the hands of the king.
13 Mikhaiah khue ham aka cet puencawn loh anih te a voek tih, “Tonghma rhoek kah ol he a ka pakhat la a caeh dongah manghai ham khaw then coeng ke. Ol he tah nang ol khaw amih neh ol pakhat la om saeh lamtah a then mah thui laeh,” a ti nah.
Now the servant who had gone to get Micaiah said to him, See now, all the prophets with one voice are saying good things to the king; so let your words be like theirs and say good things.
14 Tedae Mikhaiah loh, “BOEIPA kah hingnah bangla BOEIPA loh kai taengah a thui bueng te ni ka thui,” a ti nah.
And Micaiah said, By the living Lord, whatever the Lord says to me I will say.
15 Manghai taeng a pha vaengah manghai loh anih te, “Mikhaiah, caemtloek ham Ramothgilead la ka paan aya? ka paa aya?,” a ti nah. Te dongah manghai te, “Paan lamtah thaihtak laeh, BOEIPA loh manghai kut ah a paek bitni,” a ti nah.
When he came to the king, the king said to him, Micaiah, are we to go to Ramoth-gilead to make war or not? And in answer he said, Go up, and it will go well for you; and the Lord will give it into the hands of the king.
16 Tedae manghai loh anih te, “Kai taengah tah BOEIPA ming neh oltak dawk na thui pawt ham Kai loh nang te voei me yet hil lae kan caeng aih,” a ti nah.
Then the king said to him, Have I not, again and again, put you on your oath to say nothing to me but what is true in the name of the Lord?
17 Te vaengah, “Israel pum he tlang ah a taekyak boiva bangla ka hmuh. Amih aka dawn ham he om pawh. Te dongah BOEIPA loh, 'He rhoek he a boei a om moenih. Hlang loh amah im te ngaimong la paan uh saeh,’ a ti,” a ti nah.
Then he said, I saw all Israel wandering on the mountains like sheep without a keeper; and the Lord said, These have no master: let them go back, every man to his house in peace.
18 Israel manghai loh Jehoshaphat taengah,” Nang taengah ka thui moenih a? Kai ham tah a thae bueng tih a then la a tonghma tlaih moenih,” a ti nah.
And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, Did I not say that he would not be a prophet of good but of evil?
19 Te phoeiah, “Te dongah BOEIPA ol he hnatun. BOEIPA he amah ngolkhoel dongah ngol tih a banvoei a bantang kah amah taengah vaan caempuei boeih a pai te ka hmuh.
And he said, Give ear now to the word of the Lord: I saw the Lord seated on his seat of power, with all the army of heaven in their places round him at his right hand and at his left.
20 BOEIPA loh, 'Ramothgilead a paan vaengah cungku sak ham Ahab te ulong a cuek eh? ' a ti. Te dongah he tlam he a thui pah tih ke tlam khaw a thui pah.
And the Lord said, How may Ahab be tricked into going up to Ramoth-gilead to his death? And one said one thing and one another.
21 Mueihla ha pawk tih BOEIPA mikhmuh ah a pai phoeiah tah, 'Anih te kamah loh ka cuek eh?,’ a ti. Te vaengah BOEIPA loh anih te, 'Me nen nim?' a ti nah.
Then a spirit came forward and took his place before the Lord and said, I will get him to do it by a trick.
22 Te vaengah, 'Ka paan vetih a tonghma boeih kah a ka dongah laithae mueihla la ka om pah ni,’ a ti nah. Te dongah, 'Na cuek vetih na coeng pataeng bitni, cet lamtah saii tangloeng,’ a ti nah.
And the Lord said, How? And he said, I will go out and be a spirit of deceit in the mouth of all his prophets. And he said, Your trick will have its effect on him: go out and do so.
23 Te dongah BOEIPA loh laithae mueihla te na tonghma boeih kah ka dongah a khueh coeng he. BOEIPA loh nang ham yoethae kawng ni a thui,” a ti nah.
And now, see, the Lord has put a spirit of deceit in the mouth of all these your prophets; and the Lord has said evil against you.
24 Te vaengah Kenaanah capa Zedekiah te thoeih tih Mikhaiah te a kam ah a thoek. Te phoeiah, “Nang aka voek ham BOEIPA mueihla he kai taeng lamloh melam a kat,” a ti nah.
Then Zedekiah, the son of Chenaanah, came near and gave Micaiah a blow on the side of the face, saying, Where is the spirit of the Lord whose word is in you?
25 Te dongah Mikhaiah loh, “Imkhui kah imkhui ah thuh hamla na mop khohnin daengah nang loh hmu ne,” a ti nah.
And Micaiah said, Truly, you will see on that day when you go into an inner room to keep yourself safe.
26 Te vaengah Israel manghai loh, “Mikhaiah te khuen uh lamtah khopuei mangpa Amon taeng neh manghai capa Joash taengla thak uh.
And the king of Israel said, Take Micaiah and send him back to Amon, the ruler of the town, and to Joash, the king's son;
27 Te phoeiah, 'Manghai loh he ni a thui. Anih he thongim ah khueh uh. Kai sading la ka pawk hil anih he hnaemtaeknah tui neh hnaemtaeknah buh mah cah uh,’ ti nah,” a ti nah.
And say, It is the king's order that this man is to be put in prison and given prison food till I come again in peace.
28 Tedae Mikhaiah loh, “Sading neh na mael la na mael atah kai dongah BOEIPA cal pawt mako,” a ti nah. Te phoeiah amih pilnam pum te khaw, “Hnatun uh he,” a ti nah.
And Micaiah said, If you come back at all in peace, the Lord has not sent his word by me.
29 Te phoeiah Israel manghai neh Judah manghai Jehoshaphat loh Ramothgilead te a paan.
So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat, the king of Judah, went up to Ramoth-gilead.
30 Israel manghai loh Jehoshaphat te, “Ka sa uh vetih caemtloek la ka cet ni, nang te namah kah himbai bai ngawn,” a ti nah. Te dongah Israel manghai te sa uh tih caemtloek la cet.
And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, I will make a change in my clothing, so that I do not seem to be the king, and will go into the fight; but do you put on your robes. So the king of Israel made a change in his dress and went into the fight.
31 Aram manghai loh leng mangpa rhoek sawmthum panit te a uen tih, “Israel manghai amah bueng phoeiah tah, a tanoe a kangham khaw tloek uh boeh,” a ti nah.
Now the king of Aram had given orders to the thirty-two captains of his war-carriages, saying, Make no attack on small or great, but only on the king of Israel.
32 Leng mangpa rhoek loh Jehoshaphat te a hmuh vaengah amih loh Israel manghai rhep a ti uh. Te dongah anih te tloek ham dong uh dae Jehoshaphat lo a pang thil.
So when the captains of the war-carriages saw Jehoshaphat, they said, Truly, this is the king of Israel; and turning against him, they came round him, but Jehoshaphat gave a cry.
33 Tedae anih te Israel manghai moenih tila leng mangpa rhoek loh a hmuh van neh anih hnuk lamloh mael uh.
And when the captains of the war-carriages saw that he was not the king of Israel, they went back from going after him.
34 Tedae hlang pakhat loh amah thincaknah neh lii a phuk hatah Israel manghai te rhuhcong laklo neh caempho laklo ah a kah. Te dongah amah kah lengboei te, “Na kut hooi lamtah caem lamloh kai n'khuen laeh, ka nue coeng,” a ti nah.
And a certain man sent an arrow from his bow without thought of its direction, and gave the king of Israel a wound where his breastplate was joined to his clothing; so he said to the driver of his war-carriage, Go to one side and take me away out of the army, for I am badly wounded.
35 Hnin at puet caemtloek khaw a caeh vaengah tah manghai te Aram dan kah leng dongah pai sut. Hlaem vaengah tah duek tih a hmasoe thii te leng kah tungngol dongla long.
But the fight became more violent while the day went on; and the king was supported in his war-carriage facing the Aramaeans, and the floor of the carriage was covered with the blood from his wound, and by evening he was dead.
36 Khomik a tlak vaengah tah caem khuiah tamlung cet tih, “Hlang te amah khopuei la, amah khohmuen la rhip mael saeh,” a ti.
And about sundown a cry went up from all parts of the army, saying, Let every man go back to his town and his country, for the king is dead.
37 Manghai te a duek daengah Samaria la pawk tih Samaria ah manghai te a up uh.
And they came to Samaria, and put the king's body to rest in Samaria.
38 Leng te Samaria tuibuem ah a lae tih BOEIPA ol loh a thui bangla pumyoi tuihluk ah a thii te ui loh a laeh.
And the war-carriage was washed by the pool of Samaria, which was the bathing-place of the loose women, and the dogs were drinking his blood there, as the Lord had said.
39 Ahab kah ol noi neh a saii boeih, vueino im a sak te khaw, khopuei tom a sak te khaw, Israel manghai rhoek kah khokhuen olka cabu dongah a daek uh moenih a?
Now the rest of the acts of Ahab, and all he did, and his ivory house, and all the towns of which he was the builder, are they not recorded in the book of the history of the kings of Israel?
40 A napa rhoek taengla Ahab a khoem uh phoeiah tah a capa Ahaziah he anih yueng la manghai.
So Ahab was put to rest with his fathers; and Ahaziah his son became king in his place.
41 Israel manghai Ahab kah a kum li dongah Asa capa Jehoshaphat te Judah ah manghai.
And Jehoshaphat, the son of Asa, became king over Judah in the fourth year of Ahab's rule over Israel.
42 Jehoshaphat he sawmthum kum nga a lo ca vaengah manghai tih Jerusalem ah kum kul kum nga manghai. A manu ming tah Shilhi canu Azubah ni.
Jehoshaphat was thirty-five years old when he became king, and he was king for twenty-five years in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Azubah, the daughter of Shilhi.
43 BOEIPA mikhmuh ah a thuem saii ham he a napa Asa kah longpuei cungkuem dongah pongpa tih anih lamkah te phaelh pawh.
He did as Asa his father had done, not turning away from it, but doing what was right in the eyes of the Lord; but the high places were not taken away: the people went on making offerings and burning them in the high places.
44 Tedae hmuensang a khoe uh kolla pilnam a nawn pueng tih hmuensang ah a phum uh.
And Jehoshaphat made peace with the king of Israel.
45 Jehoshaphat loh Israel manghai te a thuung. Jehoshaphat kah ol noi neh a thayung thamal a saii khaw, a vathoh te khaw Judah manghai rhoek kah khokhuen olka cabu dongah a daek uh moenih a?
Now the rest of the acts of Jehoshaphat, and his great power, and how he went to war, are they not recorded in the book of the history of the kings of Judah?
46 Hlanghalh kah a coih, a napa Asa tue lamloh aka om te khohmuen lamloh a khoe.
He put an end to the rest of those who were used for sex purposes in the worship of the gods, all those who were still in the land in the time of his father Asa.
47 Edom ah manghai tal tih manghai a khueh pah.
At that time there was no king in Edom;
48 Ophir sui te paan hamla Jehoshaphat loh Tarshish sangpho te a saii tah a saii dae Eziongeber ah sangpho te a rhek la a rhek pah tih hlaikan pawh.
And the representative of King Jehoshaphat made a Tarshish-ship to go to Ophir for gold, but it did not go, because it was broken at Ezion-geber.
49 Ahab capa Ahaziah loh Jehoshaphat taengah, “Ka sal rhoek he na sal rhoek taengah sangpho neh pongpa uh mai saeh,” a ti nah dae Jehoshaphat loh ngaih pawh.
Then Ahaziah, the son of Ahab, said to Jehoshaphat, Let my men go with yours in the ships. But Jehoshaphat would not let them.
50 Jehoshaphat khaw a napa taengla a khoem uh vaengah a napa David khopuei kah a napa rhoek taengah a up uh tih a capa Jehoram te anih yueng la manghai.
Then Jehoshaphat went to rest with his fathers, and his body was put into the earth in the town of David his father; and Jehoram his son became king in his place.
51 Judah manghai Jehoshaphat kah kum hlai rhih vaengah Ahab capa Ahaziah loh Samaria ah Israel a manghai thil tih Israel soah kum nit manghai.
Ahaziah, the son of Ahab, became king over Israel in Samaria in the seventeenth year of the rule of Jehoshaphat, the king of Judah, and he was king over Israel for two years.
52 BOEIPA mikhmuh ah boethae a saii tih a napa longpuei ah, a manu longpuei ah, Israel aka tholh sak Nebat capa Jeroboam kah longpuei ah pongpa.
He did evil in the eyes of the Lord, going in the ways of his father and his mother, and in the ways of Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, who made Israel do evil.
53 Baal te tho a thueng thil tih a taengah a bakop dongah a napa kah a saii bangla a cungkuem dongah Israel Pathen BOEIPA te a veet.
He was a servant and worshipper of Baal, moving the Lord, the God of Israel, to wrath, as his father had done.
