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.

And Elisha saith, 'Hear ye a word of Jehovah: thus said Jehovah, About this time to-morrow, a measure of fine flour [is] at a shekel, and two measures of barley at 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.

And the captain whom the king hath, by whose hand he hath been supported, answereth the man of God and saith, 'Lo, Jehovah is making windows in the heavens — shall this thing be?' and he saith, 'Lo, thou art seeing it with thine eyes, and thereof thou dost not eat.'

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 four men have been leprous, at the opening of the gate, and they say one unto another, 'What — we are sitting here till we have died;

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 have said, We go in to the city, then the famine [is] in the city, and we have died there; and if we have sat here, then we have died; and now, come and we fall unto the camp of Aram; if they keep us alive, we live, and if they put us to death — we have died.'

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 rise in the twilight, to go in unto the camp of Aram, and they come in unto the extremity of the camp of Aram, and lo, there is not a 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.

seeing Jehovah hath caused the camp of Aram to hear a noise of chariot and a noise of horse — a noise of great force, and they say one unto another, 'Lo, the king of Israel hath hired against us the kings of the Hittites, and the kings of Egypt, to come against 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.

And they rise and flee in the twilight, and forsake their tents, and their horses, and their asses — the camp as it [is] — and flee 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 these lepers come in unto the extremity of the camp, and come in unto one tent, and eat, and drink, and lift up thence silver, and gold, and garments, and go and hide; and they turn back and go in unto another tent, and lift up thence, and go and hide.

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.

And they say one unto another, 'We are not doing right this day; a day of tidings it [is], and we are keeping silent; and — we have waited till the light of the morning, then hath punishment found us; and now, come and we go in and declare to the house of the king.'

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.

And they come in, and call unto the gatekeeper of the city, and declare for themselves, saying, 'We have come in unto the camp of Aram, and lo, there is not there a man, or sound of man, but the bound horse, and the bound ass, and tents as they [are].'

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

and he calleth the gatekeepers, and they declare to the house of the king 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 riseth by night, and saith unto his servants, 'Let me declare, I pray you, to you that which the Aramaeans have done to us; they have known that we are famished, and they are gone out from the camp to be hidden in the field, saying, When they come out from the city, then we catch them alive, and unto the city we enter.'

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 answereth and saith, 'Then let them take, I pray thee, five of the horses that are left, that have been left in it — lo, they [are] as all the multitude of Israel who have been left in it; lo, they are as all the multitude of Israel who have been consumed — and we 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.

And they take two chariot-horses, and the king sendeth after the camp of Aram, 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 go after them unto the Jordan, and lo, all the way is full of garments and vessels that the Aramaeans have cast away in their haste, and the messengers turn back and declare to 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 go out and spoil the camp of Aram, and there is a measure of fine flour at a shekel, and two measures of barley at a shekel, according to the word of Jehovah.

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 hath appointed the captain, by whose hand he is supported, over the gate, and the people tread him down in the gate, and he dieth, as the man of God spake, which he spake in the coming down of the king unto 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.

yea, it cometh to pass, according to the speaking of the man of God unto the king, saying, 'Two measures of barley at a shekel, and a measure of fine flour at a shekel are, at this time to-morrow, 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 the captain answereth the man of God, and saith, 'And lo, Jehovah is making windows in the heavens — it is according to this word?' and he saith, 'Lo, thou art seeing with thine eyes, and thereof thou dost not eat;'

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

and it cometh to him so, and the people tread him down in the gate, and he dieth.
