2 Thusimbu 18
1 Jehoshaphat hi haona le jabolna'a bulhing setnin ananeitan ahi. Amahin numei kilah tona lamma Ahab to kisam kaina ananei lhonnin ahi.
Now Jehoshaphat had great riches and honor; he allied himself with Ahab by having one of his family marry his daughter.
2 Kum phabep jouhin Samaria Ahab villin aga che suhin ahileh, Ahab in bongchal leh kelngoi athat nin ama leh ahin kilhon piho nehding chun nengtah in anagon peh in; chuleh Ramoth Gilead langa chetou dingin ana tem in ahi.
After some years, he went down to Ahab in Samaria. Ahab killed many sheep and oxen for him and the people who were with him. Ahab also persuaded him to attack Ramoth Gilead with him.
3 Ahab lengpa chun Jehoshaphat jah’a chun Ramoth Gilead toh kidouna dinga hi neihung kitho pi ding ham anatin ahi. Jehoshaphat chun adonbut in, “Keile nang thakhat ihin, keimite jong nang mite ahin hiche galla chun nahung kithopi nange,” ati.
Ahab, king of Israel, said to Jehoshaphat, king of Judah, “Will you go with me to Ramoth Gilead?” Jehoshaphat answered him, “I am like you, and my people are like your people. We will be with you in the war.”
4 Chujongleh Jehoshaphat chun Israel lengpa komma chun aseijin, “Tunin Pathenin epi asei jem veohite ati”
Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel, “Please first seek the word of Yahweh for your answer.”
5 Hichun Israel lengpan themgao jali akou khommin amaho chu adongin, “Keiho hi Ramoth – Gilead satna galkon na kachediu ham ahilouleh kacheda diuham?” ati. Hichun amaho chun, “Chetou jengun amaho chu Pathen in lengpa nangkhut a ahin pehdoh ding ahi,” atiuve.
Then the king of Israel gathered the prophets together, four hundred men, and said to them, “Should we go to Ramoth Gilead to battle, or should I not?” They said, “Attack, for God will give it into the hand of the king.”
6 Ahinlah Jehoshaphat in, “Tua hi eihon idoh theiju themgao adang umlou hitam?” ati.
But Jehoshaphat said, “Is there not here still another prophet of Yahweh with whom we might seek advice?”
7 Israel lengpa chun Jehoshaphat kom’a, “Eihon idoh theiju Pakai themgao khatvang aumme, ahinlah keiman amahi kavetnom poi; ajeh chu amahin keidinga thilpha aseingai jipon, thilphalou ngen eisei peh ji ahi. Amachu Imla chapa Micaiah kitipa chu ahi. Hichun Jehoshaphat in, “Lengpa hiti chun thu seihih in,” ati.
The king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, “There is still one man by whom we may seek the advice of Yahweh, Micaiah son of Imlah, but I hate him because he never prophesies good concerning me, but always evil.” But Jehoshaphat said, “The king should not say that.”
8 Hiche phat chun Israel lengpan a sepai lamkai khat chu akouvin, Imla chapa Micaiah chu gangtah in gapuijin ati.
Then the king of Israel called an officer and said, “Quickly bring Micaiah son of Imlah.”
9 Israel lengpaleh Judah lengpa Jehoshaphat chu aleng von lhon cheh a akivon lhonin, Samaria khopi lutna kelkot lutna tollhang achun atou lhonin amasang lhonna themgao hochun gaothu aseijun ahi
Now Ahab the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah were sitting each on a throne, clothed in their robes, in an open place at the entrance of the gate of Samaria, and all the prophets were prophesying before them.
10 Zedekiah chun thih alan saki limin asemmin, Pakaiyin hitin aseije, “Nangman hiche saki hi namanna Syria mite chu nasuhmang ding ahi,” ati.
Zedekiah son of Kenaanah made himself horns of iron and said, “Yahweh says this: With these you will push the Arameans until they are consumed.”
11 Hitichun themgao ho jouse chun gaothu aseisoh keijun, Ramoth Gilead jonin chetouvun nalolhin diu ahi, ajeh chu Pakaiyin amaho chu lengpa khutna ahin pehlut ding ahi atiuve
All the prophets prophesied the same, saying, “Attack Ramoth Gilead and win, for Yahweh has given it into the hand of the king.”
12 Micaiah kouva kisol pachun akom’a hitin aseijin, “Ven, themgao ho jouse chun lengpan gal ajo dingin aseisoh keijun ahi, nangman jong hitimachun seile chun phading ahi,” atipeh e.
The messenger who went to summon Micaiah said to him, “Look, the words of the prophets with one mouth are favorable to the king. Let your words agree with theirs, and speak favorably.”
13 Hichu Micaiah in adonbut in, “Hingjing Pakai minna kasei ahi, ka Pathen in asei seibou kaseiding ahi,” ati.
Micaiah replied, “As Yahweh lives, it is what God says that I will say.”
14 Micaiah chu lengpa kom ahung lhun phat in, lengpan, “Micaiah Ramoth – Gilead na hi galsatna kache diuham ahilouleh kache dauva pha ham? tin adongin ahileh aman, “Cheovin galolhing tauvin amaho chun nangma khut-a pehdoh in umnante,” atipeh in ahi.
When he came to the king, the king said to him, “Micaiah, should we go to Ramoth Gilead for battle, or not?” Micaiah answered him, “Attack and be victorious! For it will be a great victory.”
15 Hichun lengpan hitin aseije, “Micaiah nangkom mahi ijatvei Pakai minnin thudih seijin tia kangeh ding nahim?” atin ahi.
Then the king said to him, “How many times must I require you to swear to tell me nothing but the truth in the name of Yahweh?”
16 Hichun Micaiah in aseijin, “Keiman Israel tehi achingbei kelngoi banga molchung dunga akithe cheh-u kamui,” chuleh Pakaiyin hitin aseijin “Amaho hi lungmongin a incheh uva kileu hen,” ati.
So Micaiah said, “I saw all Israel scattered on the mountains, like sheep who have no shepherd, and Yahweh said, 'These have no shepherd. Let every man return to his house in peace.'”
17 Israel lengpa chun Jehoshaphat komma hitin aseije, “Amahin kakomma thilpha asei khapon, thilse jeng aseije kati hilouham?” atin ahi.
So the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, “Did I not tell you that he would not prophesy good concerning me, but only disaster?”
18 Hichun Micaiah in aseijin Pakaiyin hitin aseije, “Ngaijun Pakai chu alal touna – a atouvin van mite chu ajet aveijah adingun ahi.”
Then Micaiah said, “Therefore all of you should hear the word of Yahweh: I saw Yahweh sitting on his throne, and all the host of heaven were standing on his right hand and on his left.
19 “Pakai chun hitin aseijin, “Koipenin Ahab komma nacheova Ramoth – Gilead nakhu aga lhuhkam nadinga naga seipeh diu ham? Hichun vantil khatchun hitin aseijin achom khat nin thilchom aseijin ahi.
Yahweh said, 'Who will entice Ahab, king of Israel, so that he may go up and fall at Ramoth Gilead?' One said this and another that.
20 Hichun lhagao khat nin Pakai angsung ahin nailut nin keima chengtin galhem lhange ati, Pakaiyin i-nagalo ding ham? ati.
Then a spirit came forward and it stood before Yahweh and said, 'I will entice him.' Yahweh said to him, 'How?'
21 “Hichun aman keima chengting Ahab themgao jouse chu jou gaseisah ingkate ati, Pakaiyin chenlang hiti chun gabollin lang hung lolhing tan,” ati.
The spirit replied, 'I will go out and I will become a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets.' Yahweh replied, 'You will entice him, and you will also be successful. Go now and do so.'
22 Hijeh chun veovin! “Pakaiyin a themgao jouse chu jou aseisah ahin, Pakaiyin naman thah nadinga asei sah ahibouve,” ati.
Now see, Yahweh has put a lying spirit in the mouth of these prophets of yours, and Yahweh has decreed disaster for you.”
23 Hichun Chenaanah chapa Zedekiah chun anailut nin angeiphe abeh pih in, itih a chu Pakai lhagaovin keima eidalhah a nangkomma thu asei ham?” ati.
Then Zedekiah son of Kenaanah, came up, slapped Micaiah on the cheek, and said, “Which way did the Spirit of Yahweh take to go from me to speak to you?”
24 Micaiah chun adonbut in “Tomlam a nalhailut’a naga kisel teng hetannate!” atipehin ahi.
Micaiah said, “Look, you will know that on that day, when you run into some inner room to hide.”
25 Hichun Israel lengpan a sepai lamkai komma chun, man inlang khopi vaihompa leh leng chapa Joash kommah ga pelut tan ati.
The king of Israel said to some servants, “You people seize Micaiah and take him to Amon, the governor of the city, and to Joash, my son.
26 Amani komma chun songkulla akoilhon ding keima damsella kahung kilekit kahsen anehding changlhah themkhat toh twi themkhat anapeo vin ati.
You people will say to him, 'The king says: Put this man in prison and feed him with only a little bread and only a little water, until I return safely.'”
27 Micaiah in asamjah jengin, nangma nahung kile poupouleh Pathen in keikomma thu aseilou hiding ahi! ati. “Chuleh aman Avella umho kommachun hiche kasei hi jasoh keijun,” ati.
Then Micaiah said, “If you return safely, then Yahweh has not spoken by me.” Then he added, “Listen to this, all you people.”
28 Hiche jouchun Israel lengpan Ahab leh Judah lengpa Jehoshaphat chu, Ramoth – Gilead khopi chu abulu dingin akondoh lhontai.
So Ahab, the king of Israel, and Jehoshaphat, the king of Judah, went up against Ramoth Gilead.
29 Ahab chun Jehoshaphat kommah hitin aseijin, “Galmunna ilut tengleh nangin lengvon kivon nin lang, ken vonchom kivon inge,” ati. Hichun Israel lengpa chun vonchom aki vonnin gal munnah aluttan ahi.
The king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, “I will disguise myself and go into the battle, but you put on your royal robes.” So the king of Israel disguised himself, and they went into the battle.
30 Syria lengpa chun sakol kangchunga tou gallam kai hochu Israel lengpa bou atup diuvin thu apen ahi.
Now the king of Aram had commanded the captains of his chariots, saying, “Do not attack the unimportant or the important soldiers. Instead, attack only the king of Israel.”
31 Hijeh chun Jehoshaphat lengpa chu amu phatnun Israel lengpa ahisah sohkeijun, anokhum tauvin ahi. Ahinlah Jehoshaphat chu apeng jah in ahileh, Pakaiyin ahuhdoh in ama nokhumho chu adalhah sah tan ahi.
It came about that when the captains of the chariots saw Jehoshaphat they said, “That is the king of Israel.” They turned around to attack him, but Jehoshaphat cried out, and Yahweh helped him. God turned them away from him.
32 Sakol kangchunga tou lamkai hochun ama chu Israel lengpa ahilou ahedoh tauvin adalha tauve.
It came about that when the commanders of the chariots saw that it was not the king of Israel, they turned back from pursuing him.
33 Ahinlah Syria sepai khatnin thalchang khatchu agah donkapmin ahileh, Israel lengpa galvon kikah – a chun akaplut khatan ahi, hichun asakol kangtalai tolpa komma chun kakitong khatai galmunna kon in neitol doh tan atin ahi.
But a certain man drew his bow at random and shot the king of Israel between the joints of his armor. Then Ahab said to the driver of his chariot, “Turn around and carry me out of the battle, for I am badly wounded.”
34 Hiche ni chun galkisat chu akhoh cheh jengin, Israel lengpa vangchu sakol kangtalai chunga aoplhatan, nilhah lang geijin Syria te lang chu angan nilhum kon in athitai.
The battle grew worse that day, and the king of Israel was held up in his chariot facing the Arameans until the evening. About the time that the sun was going down, he died.
