2 Manghai 1
1 Ahab a dueknah hnukah Moab loh Israel taengah boe a koek.
Then, after the death of Ahab, Moab transgressed against Israel.
2 Ahaziah tah a tloh neh Samaria ah amah imhman kah sahamlong taengah yalh. Te dongah puencawn a tueih tih amih te, “Cet uh lamtah, Ekron pathen Baalzebub te dawt uh lah, he tlohtat lamloh ka hing khaming,” a ti nah.
And Ahaziah fell down through the lattices of his upper room, which he had in Samaria, and he was injured. And he sent messengers, saying to them, “Go, consult Beelzebub, the god of Ekron, as to whether I may be able to survive this infirmity of mine.”
3 Tedae BOEIPA kah puencawn loh Tishbi Elijah te, “Thoo, Samaria manghai kah puencawn rhoek doe hamla cet laeh. Amih te, 'Israel khuiah Pathen om pawt tih nim Ekron pathen Baalzebub te toem hamla na caeh uh?'
And an Angel of the Lord spoke to Elijah, the Tishbite, saying: “Rise up, and ascend to meet the messengers of the king of Samaria. And you shall say to them: ‘Is there not a God in Israel, so that you would go to consult Beelzebub, the god of Ekron?
4 Te dongah BOEIPA loh he ni a thui. Baiphaih na paan bangla te lamloh na suntla mahpawh, na duek rhoe na duek ni, 'ti nah,” a ti nah tih Elijah te cet.
For this reason, thus says the Lord: From the bed to which you have ascended, you shall not descend. Instead, dying you shall die.’” And Elijah went away.
5 Puencawn rhoek a taengla a mael uh vaengah tah amih te, “Balae tih na mael uh?” a ti nah.
And the messengers returned to Ahaziah. And he said to them, “Why have you returned?”
6 Te dongah amah te, “Kaimih doe ham hlang ha pawk tih kaimih taengah, 'Cet uh, nangmih aka tueih manghai taengla mael uh lamtah BOEIPA loh a thui he anih taengah thui pah. Israel ah Pathen om pawt tih nim, Ekron pathen Baalzebub te dawt ham nang n'tueih. Te dongah baiphaih na paan vanbangla te lamloh na suntla mahpawh, na duek rhoe na duek ni, ' a ti,” a ti nah.
But they responded to him: “A man met us, and he said to us: ‘Go, and return to the king who sent you. And you shall say to him: Thus says the Lord: Is it because there was no God in Israel that you are sending to consult Beelzebub, the god of Ekron? Therefore, from the bed to which you have ascended, you shall not descend. Instead, dying you shall die.’”
7 Te vaengah amih te, “Nangmih doe ham ha pawk tih nangmih taengah he ol aka thui hlang kah laitloeknah tah metlam a om?” a ti nah.
And he said to them: “What was the appearance and dress of that man, who met you and who spoke these words?”
8 Manghai taengah, “Hlang te a mul thah tih, a cinghen ah maehpho hailaem a vaep,” a ti nah. Te vaengah, “Tishbi Elijah ni te,” a ti nah.
So they said, “A hairy man, with a belt of leather wrapping his waist.” And he said, “It is Elijah, the Tishbite.”
9 Te phoeiah Elijah taengla sawmnga kah mangpa neh a hlang sawmnga te a tueih. Elijah te a paan vaengah tah tlang lu ah tarha ana ngol pah tih, “Pathen kah hlang aw manghai loh, 'Ha suntla laeh,’ a ti,” a ti nah.
And he sent to him a leader of fifty, with the fifty who were under him. And he ascended to him, sitting at the top of a hill, and he said, “Man of God, the king commanded that you should descend.”
10 Elijah loh sawmnga mangpa te a doo tih, “Kai he Pathen kah hlang coeng atah vaan lamkah hmai ha suntla saeh lamtah nang neh nang kah hlang sawmnga te n'hlawp saeh,” a ti nah. Te vaengah vaan lamkah hmai ha suntla tih anih neh a hlang sawmnga te a hlawp.
And responding, Elijah said to the leader of fifty, “If I am a man of God, let fire from heaven descend and devour you and your fifty.” And then fire from heaven descended and devoured him and the fifty who were with him.
11 Te phoeiah mael tih a tloe sawmnga mangpa neh a hlang sawmnga te Elijah taengla a tueih. A doo vaengah Elijah te, “Pathen kah hlang aw, manghai loh he ni a thui, hat suntla laeh,” a ti nah.
And again, he sent to him another leader of fifty, and the fifty with him. And he said to him, “Man of God, thus says the king: Hurry, descend.”
12 Elijah loh a doo tih amih te, “Kai he Pathen kah hlang atah vaan lamkah hmai ha suntla saeh lamtah namah neh na hlang sawmnga te n'hlawp saeh,” a ti nah. Te dongah Pathen kah hmai te vaan lamkah suntla tih anih neh a hlang sawmnga te a hlawp.
Responding, Elijah said, “If I am a man of God, let fire from heaven descend and devour you and your fifty.” And fire from heaven descended and devoured him and his fifty.
13 Mael tih a pathum ah sawmnga kah mangpa te a hlang sawmnga neh a tueih tih cet. A pathum kah sawmnga mangpa tah a pha neh Elijah hmai ah a khuklu a cungkueng pah. Te phoeiah anih te a hloep tih a taengah, “Pathen kah hlang aw ka hinglu neh na mikhmuh kah na sal sawmnga kah hinglu he kueinah mai.
Again, he sent a third leader of fifty men and the fifty who were with him. And when he had arrived, he bent his knees before Elijah, and he pleaded with him, and said: “Man of God, do not choose to despise my life and the lives of your servants who are with me.
14 Vaan lamkah hmai suntla tih lamhma kah sawmnga mangpa rhoi neh a hlang sawmnga te a hlawp coeng ne. Tedae na mikhmuh ah ka hinglu he kueinah mai,” a ti nah.
Behold, fire from heaven descended and devoured the two previous leaders of fifty and the fifties who were with them. But now I beg you to take pity on my life.”
15 Te vaengah BOEIPA kah puencawn loh Elijah te, “A taengah suntla lamtah a mikhmuh ah rhih boeh,” a ti nah. Te dongah thoo tih anih neh manghai taengla cet.
Then the Angel of the Lord spoke to Elijah, saying, “Descend with him; fear not.” And so, he arose and descended with him to the king.
16 Te phoeiah manghai te, “BOEIPA loh he ni a thui. Amah ol te dawt hamla Israel ah Pathen om voel pawt tih nim Ekron pathen Baalzebub dawt hamla puencawn na tueih? Te dongah baiphaih na paan bangla te lamloh na suntla mahpawh, na duek rhoe na duek ni,” a ti nah.
And he said to him: “Thus says the Lord: Because you sent messengers to consult Beelzebub, the god of Ekron, as if there were no God in Israel, from whom you would be able to seek a word, therefore, from the bed to which you have ascended, you shall not descend. Instead, dying you shall die.”
17 Te dongah Elijah loh a thui BOEIPA ol bangla duek tih Jehoram te anih yueng la manghai.
And so he died, in accord with the word of the Lord, which Elijah spoke. And Jehoram, his brother, reigned in his place, in the second year of Jehoram, the son of Jehoshaphat, the king of Judah. For he had no son.
18 Ahaziah kah ol noi neh a saii te Israel manghai rhoek kah khokhuen olka cabu dongah a daek uh moenih a?
But the rest of the words of Ahaziah that he worked, have these not been written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Israel?
