2 Manghai 7

1 Elisha loh, “BOEIPA ol he ya uh. BOEIPA loh he ni a thui. Thangvuen tahae tue ah, Samaria vongka ah vaidam sum at te shekel khat la, cangtun sum nit te shekel khat la om ni,” a ti nah.

Then Elisha said, Hear all of you the word of the LORD; Thus says the LORD, Tomorrow about this time shall a measure of fine flour be sold for a shekel, and two measures of barley for a shekel, in the gate of Samaria.

2 A kut ah manghai loh a hangdang thil rhalboei loh Pathen kah hlang te a doo tih, “BOEIPA loh vaan bangbuet ong mai cakhaw he ol bangla thoeng aya te?” a ti nah. Te vaengah, “Na mik neh na hmuh vetih na ca mahpawh te,” a ti nah.

Then a lord on whose hand the king leaned answered the man of God, and said, Behold, if the LORD would make windows in heaven, might this thing be? And he said, Behold, you shall see it with your eyes, but shall not eat thereof.

3 Te vaengah aka pahuk hlang pali te vongka kah thohka taengah om uh tih pakhat loh a hui taengah, “Balae tih mamih loh n'duek hil heah n'ngol mai eh?”

And there were four leprous men at the entering in of the gate: and they said one to another, Why sit we here until we die?

4 Khopuei la cet sih n'ti vaengah nim khopuei ah khokha pai tih pahoi n'duek uh ni, heah n'om bal cakhaw n'duek uh ni. Te dongah cet uh mai sih lamtah Aram rhaehhmuen ah yalh uh sih. Mamih he n'hlun atah n'hing uh vetih mamih he n'duek sak atah n'duek uh bitni,” a ti uh.

If we say, We will enter into the city, then the famine is in the city, and we shall die there: and if we sit still here, we die also. Now therefore come, and let us fall unto the host of the Syrians: if they save us alive, we shall live; and if they kill us, we shall but die.

5 Te dongah hlaemhmah ah thoo uh tih Aram kah rhaehhmuen la cet uh. Aram rhaehhmuen kah a bawt te a pha uh vaengah tah hlang tarha om pawh.

And they rose up in the twilight, to go unto the camp of the Syrians: and when they were come to the uttermost part of the camp of Syria, behold, there was no man there.

6 Ka Boeipa loh Aram caem te leng ol, marhang ol, tatthai ol muep a yaak sak dongah hlang loh a manuca taengah te, “Mamih he Israel manghai loh caem m'paang thil te, Khitti manghai rhoek neh Egypt manghai rhoek loh mamih m'paan coeng,” a ti uh.

For the LORD had made the host of the Syrians to hear a noise of chariots, and a noise of horses, even the noise of a great host: and they said one to another, Lo, the king of Israel has hired against us the kings of the Hittites, and the kings of the Egyptians, to come upon us.

7 Te dongah thoo uh tih hlaemhmah ah rhaelrham uh coeng. A dap khaw, a marhang khaw, a laak khaw, rhaehhmuen khaw amah la a hnoo uh tih a hinglu ham bueng te rhaelrham uh.

Wherefore they arose and fled in the twilight, and left their tents, and their horses, and their asses, even the camp as it was, and fled for their life.

8 Aka pahuk rhoek te rhaehhmuen bawt la a pawk uh vaengah dap pakhat ah kun uh. A caak uh tih a ok uh phoeiah te lamkah cak neh sui neh himbai khaw a phueih uh. Cet uh tih a thuh uh phoeiah mael uh tih dap a tloe la kun uh. Te lamkah a phueih uh phoeiah cet uh tih a thuh uh.

And when these lepers came to the uttermost part of the camp, they went into one tent, and did eat and drink, and carried thence silver, and gold, and raiment, and went and hid it; and came again, and entered into another tent, and carried thence also, and went and hid it.

9 Te vaengah tah pakhat loh a hui taengah, “Mamih kah n'saii te a thuem moenih. Tahae khohnin he olthangthen kah khohnin ni. Mamih n'ngam uh tih mincang khosae hil n'rhing koinih thaesainah te mamih loh n'yook. Te dongah cet uh pawn sih lamtah m'pha neh manghai im ah puen uh sih,” a ti uh.

Then they said one to another, We do not well: this day is a day of good tidings, and we hold our peace: if we tarry till the morning light, some mischief will come upon us: now therefore come, that we may go and tell the king's household.

10 Cet uh tih khopuei kah thoh tawt te a khue uh. Amih te a voek uh tih, “Aram kah rhaehhmuen la ka cet uh dae hlang tarha ana om pawh. Hlang ol khaw lo pawt tih marhang khaw a pael uh, laak khaw a pael uh, dap khaw amah la sut om,” a ti nauh.

So they came and called unto the gate keeper of the city: and they told them, saying, We came to the camp of the Syrians, and, behold, there was no man there, neither voice of man, but horses tied, and asses tied, and the tents as they were.

11 Thoh tawt khaw pang uh tih manghai im khuila puen uh.

And he called the porters; and they told it to the king's house within.

12 Manghai te khoyin ah thoo tih a sal rhoek taengah, “Aram loh mamih taengah a saii te nangmih taengah kan thui pawn eh. Mamih kah bungpong te a ming uh dongah rhaehhmuen lamloh kohong kah kohong patoeng la thuh ham khoe uh. 'Khopuei lamloh a coe uh kuekluek vaengah amih te a hing la tu sih lamtah tah khopuei la kun sih,’ a ti uh,” a ti nah.

And the king arose in the night, and said unto his servants, I will now show you what the Syrians have done to us. They know that we be hungry; therefore are they gone out of the camp to hide themselves in the field, saying, When they come out of the city, we shall catch them alive, and get into the city.

13 Te vaengah a sal pakhat loh a doo tih, “Khopuei ah aka sueng la aka sueng marhang pumnga te ka khuen mai eh. Te rhoek khaw a khuiah aka sueng Israel hlangping khuikah hlangping bang boeih ni. Amih te Israel hlangping bangla boeih khum uh coeng ke. Te dongah n'tueih lamtah ka so lah eh,” a ti nah.

And one of his servants answered and said, Let some take, I pray you, five of the horses that remain, which are left in the city, (behold, they are as all the multitude of Israel that are left in it: behold, I say, they are even as all the multitude of the Israelites that are consumed: ) and let us send and see.

14 Te dongah marhang leng panit a loh phoeiah tah manghai loh Aram caem hnukah a tueih tih, “Cet lamtah so lah,” a ti nah.

They took therefore two chariot horses; and the king sent after the host of the Syrians, saying, Go and see.

15 Amih hnuk te Jordan duela a hlak uh. Tedae Aram khaw amamih te tamto la tamto uh coeng tih longpuei takuem ah himbai neh hnopai te a bae la a voeih uh. Te dongah puencawn rhoek te mael uh tih manghai taengah puen uh.

And they went after them unto Jordan: and, lo, all the way was full of garments and vessels, which the Syrians had cast away in their haste. And the messengers returned, and told the king.

16 Te daengah pilnam te cet tih Aram rhaehhmuen te a poelyoe uh. Te vaengah BOEIPA ol bangla vaidam sum at te shekel khat, cangtun sum nit te shekel khat la om.

And the people went out, and spoiled the tents of the Syrians. So a measure of fine flour was sold for a shekel, and two measures of barley for a shekel, according to the word of the LORD.

17 Manghai loh rhalboei la a khueh tih a ban ah a hangdang thil te vongka ah a om sak. Tedae anih te pilnam loh vongka ah a daep tih Pathen kah hlang loh a thui bangla duek. Te te anih taengla manghai a suntlak vaengah a thui pah coeng.

And the king appointed the lord on whose hand he leaned to have the charge of the gate: and the people trode upon him in the gate, and he died, as the man of God had said, who spoke when the king came down to him.

18 Pathen kah hlang loh manghai ham a thui pah vaengah, “Thangvuen tahae tue ah tah, Samaria vongka ah cangtun sum nit te shekel khat la, vaidam sum at te shekel khat la om ni,” a ti nah bangla thoeng.

And it came to pass as the man of God had spoken to the king, saying, Two measures of barley for a shekel, and a measure of fine flour for a shekel, shall be tomorrow about this time in the gate of Samaria:

19 Rhalboei loh Pathen kah hlang te a doo tih, “BOEIPA loh vaan bangbuet ong mai cakhaw te kah ol bangla thoeng venim he?” a ti nah vaengah, “Na mik neh na hmuh sui dae te lamkah te na ca mahpawh he,” a ti nah.

And that lord answered the man of God, and said, Now, behold, if the LORD should make windows in heaven, might such a thing be? And he said, Behold, you shall see it with your eyes, but shall not eat thereof.

20 Anih ham a thoeng tangloeng dongah anih te pilnam loh vongka ah a til tih duek.

And so it fell out unto him: for the people trode upon him in the gate, and he died.
