2 Manghai 8
1 Elisha loh a capa aka hing huta te a voek tih, “Thoo lamtah namah neh na imkhui te cet uh laeh. Na bakuep nah noek ah bakuep mai. BOEIPA loh khokha ham a khue dongah khohmuen ah he kum rhih khuiah pai pueng ni,” a ti nah.
Elisha told the woman whose son he had brought back to life, “You and your family need to pack up and leave, and live where you can somewhere else like a foreigner. For the Lord announced a famine will come to the land and will last seven years.”
2 Te dongah huta te thoo tih Pathen hlang kah ol bangla a saii. Amah neh a imkhui te a caeh puei tih Philisti khohmuen ah kum rhih bakuep.
The woman packed up and did what the man of God had told her. She and her family went and lived as foreigners for seven years in the country of the Philistines.
3 Kum rhih kah a bawtnah a pha vaengah tah huta te Philisti khohmuen lamloh mael. Te vaengah cet tih amah imkhui ham neh a khohmuen ham te manghai taengah pang.
When the seven years were over, she came back from the country of the Philistines and went to the king to appeal for the return of her house and lands.
4 Manghai loh Pathen hlang kah tueihyoeih Gehazi te a voek tih, “Elisha loh hno len cungkuem a saii te kai taengah tae laeh,” a ti nah.
The king was talking with Gehazi, the servant of the man of God, asking him, “Please tell me about all the wonderful things Elisha did.”
5 Te dongah aka duek tangtae a hing sak tih a capa koep aka hing huta loh a imkhui ham neh a khohmuen ham manghai taengah a pang te khaw manghai taengah a tae pah. Te phoeiah Gehazi loh, “Ka boei manghai aw, he huta he ni a capa Elisha loh a hing sak pah.
It so happened that right then Gehazi was telling the king the story of how Elisha had brought the dead boy back to life when his mother arrived to make her appeal to the king for the return of her house and lands. “My lord the king,” Gehazi called out, “this is the woman, and this is her son that Elisha brought back to life.”
6 Manghai loh huta te a dawt tih a taengah a tae pah vaengah tah manghai loh anih ham te imkhoem pakhat a khueh pah tih, “Khohmuen a hnoong khohnin lamloh tahae hil khohmuen kah a vueithaih cungkuem te anih taengah boeih mael laeh,” a ti nah.
The king asked the woman about it and she explained the whole story to him. The king gave orders to an official, saying, “Make sure everything that belonged to her is returned to her, together with all the profit from her lands from the day that she left the country until now.”
7 Elisha te Damasku la a caeh vaengah Aram manghai Benhadad te ana tlo. Te dongah a taengla a puen pah tih, “Pathen kah hlang he la ha pawk,” a ti nah.
Elisha went to Damascus when Ben-hadad king of Aram was ill. The king was informed, “The man of God has arrived in town.”
8 Manghai loh Hazael te, “Na kut dongah khocang khuen lamtah Pathen kah hlang doe hamla cet laeh. Anih lamloh BOEIPA te dawt lah, he tloh lamloh ka hing venim?' dawt lah,” a ti nah.
The king ordered Hazael, “Take a gift with you and go and meet the man of God. Ask him to ask the Lord, ‘Will I recover from this illness?’”
9 Te dongah anih doe hamla Hazael te cet tih a kut dongah khocang neh Damasku kah thennah cungkuem te kalauk sawmli phueih la a khuen. Cet tih a mikhmuh ah a pai vaengah tah, “Na capa Aram manghai Benhadad loh kai he nang taengla n'tueih, 'He tloh lamloh ka hing aya?' a ti,” a ti nah.
So Hazael went to meet Elisha. He took with him a gift of all the best things from Damascus—forty camel-loads of goods. He came in and stood before him and said, “Your son Ben-hadad, king of Aram, has sent me to you to ask, ‘Will I recover from this illness?’”
10 Elisha loh anih te, “Cet lamtah amah taengah, 'Na hing rhoe na hing ni, 'ti nah. Tedae BOEIPA loh kai n'tueng coeng dongah duek rhoe duek ni,” a ti nah.
“Go and tell him, ‘You will definitely recover.’ But the Lord has shown me that definitely he is going to die,” Elisha replied.
11 Te phoeiah tah a maelhmai te a khueh, a khueh tih a yah hil Pathen kah hlang te a rhah pah.
Elisha stared at him for a long time until Hazael became uncomfortable. Then the man of God started to cry.
12 Te vaengah Hazael loh, “Ka boeipa balae tih na rhah,” a ti nah hatah, “Israel ca rhoek taengah boethae na saii ham khaw, amih kah hmuencak te hmai neh na hlae ham khaw, amih kah tongpang rhoek te cunghang neh na ngawn ham khaw, amih kah camoe rhoek te na til ham khaw, aka vawn te na boe ham khaw ka ming dongah,” a ti nah.
“Why are you crying, my lord?” asked Hazael. “Because I know the evil things you are going to do to the Israelites,” Elisha replied. “You will set their fortresses on fire, kill their young men with the sword, dash to pieces their little ones, and rip open their pregnant women.”
13 Tedae Hazael loh, “Na sal ui loh metlam hno len a saii eh?” a ti nah. Elisha loh, “Aram soah na manghai ham te BOEIPA loh kai n'tueng coeng,” a ti nah.
“But how could someone like me who's just a ‘dog’ achieve anything like that?” Hazael asked. “The Lord has shown me that you are going to be the king of Aram,” Elisha replied.
14 Elisha taeng lamloh nong tih a boei taengla a pawk vaengah anih te, “Elisha loh nang taengah balae a thui,” a ti nah. Te vaengah, “Kai taengah tah, ' Na hing rhoe na hing ni, ' a ti,” a ti nah.
Hazael left Elisha and went to his master, who asked him, “What did Elisha tell you?” Hazael replied, “He told me you would definitely recover.”
15 Tedae a vuen pha vaengah himbai thah a loh tih tui khuila a nuem phoeiah manghai kah maelhmai te a dah pah. Te vaengah manghai te duek tih Hazael te anih yueng la manghai.
But the following day Hazael took the bed cover, soaked it in water, and spread it over the king's face until he died. Then Hazael took over from him as king.
16 Israel manghai Ahab capa Joram kah a kum nga dongkah, Judah manghai Jehoshaphat phoeiah tah, Judah manghai Jehoshaphat capa Jehoram te manghai.
Jehoram, son of Jehoshaphat, began his reign as king of Judah in the fifth year of the reign of Joram, son of Ahab, king of Israel, while Jehoshaphat was still king of Judah.
17 Kum sawmthum kum nit a lo ca vaengah anih te manghai tih Jerusalem ah kum, kum rhet manghai.
He was thirty-two when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem for eight years.
18 Anih khaw Israel manghai rhoek kah longpuei ah pongpa. Ahab canu te anih yuu la a om dongah Ahab imkhui kah a saii bangla BOEIPA mikhmuh ah boethae a saii.
Jehoram followed the ways of the kings of Israel, just as the house of Ahab had done, for he married a daughter of Ahab and did what was evil in the Lord's sight.
19 A sal David amah taengah a thui bangla anih ham neh a ca rhoek ham hnin takuem hmaithoi a khueh pah ham dongah ni BOEIPA loh Judah te phae a ngaih pawh.
But for the sake of David his servant the Lord didn't want to destroy Judah since he had promised him that there would always be a ruler from his descendants, like a lamp forever.
20 Anih tue vaengah ni Edom loh Judah kut hmui lamkah boe a koek tih amamih ham manghai a manghai sak.
During Jehoram's time as king, Edom rebelled against Judah's rule and chose their own king.
21 Joram te amah taengkah leng boeih neh Zair te a paan. Khoyin ah thoo tih Edom te a tloek. A kaepvai te amah neh leng mangpa rhoek loh a dum vaengah pilnam tah amah dap la rhaelrham coeng.
So Jehoram went over to Zair with all his chariots. The Edomites surrounded him and his chariot commanders, but he took action and attacked at night. But his army ran back to their homes.
22 Edom tah tahae khohnin duela Judah kut hmui lamloh boe a koek. Libnah khaw te vaeng tue ah boe a koek coeng.
As a result Edom has been in rebellion against Judah's rule to this day. At the same time Libnah also decided to rebel.
23 Joram kah ol noi neh a saii boeih te khaw Judah manghai rhoek kah khokhuen olka cabu dongah a daek uh moenih a?
The rest of what happened in Jehoram's reign and all that he did are recorded in the Book of Chronicles of the Kings of Judah.
24 Joram te a napa rhoek taengla a khoem uh vaengah David khopuei ah a napa rhoek taengah a up. Te phoeiah a capa Ahaziah te anih yueng la manghai.
Jehoram died and was buried with his forefathers in the City of David. His son Ahaziah succeeded him as king.
25 Israel manghai Ahab capa Joram kah kum hlai nit kum vaengah Judah manghai Jehoram capa Ahaziah te manghai van.
Ahaziah, son of Jehoram, became king of Judah in the twelfth year of the reign of Joram, son of Ahab, king of Israel.
26 Ahaziah he kum kul kum nit a lo ca vaengah manghai tih Jerusalem ah kum khat manghai. A manu ming tah Israel manghai Omri canu Athaliah ni.
Ahaziah was twenty-two when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem for one year. His mother's name was Athaliah, the granddaughter of Omri, king of Israel.
27 Anih he Ahab imkhui loh a cava nah dongah Ahab imkhui kah longpuei ah pongpa tih BOEIPA mikhmuh ah Ahab imkhui bangla boethae a saii.
Ahaziah also followed the evil ways of the family of Ahab, and did what was evil in the Lord's sight as the family of Ahab had done, for he was related to them by marriage.
28 Ahab capa Joram neh Ramothgilead kah Aram manghai Hazael te caem la a paan vaengah Arammi loh Joram te a ngawn.
Ahaziah went with Joram, son of Ahab, to fight against Hazael, king of Aram, at Ramoth-gilead. The Arameans wounded Joram,
29 Te dongah manghai Joram khaw Aram manghai Hazael a vathoh thil vaengkah Ramah ah Arammi loh a ngawn. Te hmasoe te hoeih sak ham Jezreel la mael. Tedae anih te a nue coeng dongah Judah manghai Jehoram capa Ahaziah khaw Ahab capa Joram te sawt hamla Jezreel la suntla.
and he returned to Jezreel to recover from the wounds he'd received in Ramah fighting against Hazael king of Aram. Ahaziah, son of Jehoram, king of Judah, went to Jezreel to visit Joram, son of Ahab, because Joram was wounded.
