2 Lengte 6
1 Nikhat hi themgao honkhat Elisha kom’a ahung nguvin hitin aseijuve, “Nangman nahet ma bang hin nangtoh ikimu to nao mun hi aneobehseh jenge.
Now the sons of the prophets said to Elisha, “Please take note that the place where we meet with you is too small for us.
2 Jordan vadung langa chesuh uhitin thing gatan uhitin ikikhop khom nadiu munthah khat kisah dohu hite,” ahung tiuve. Hichun aman adonbut in, “Aphai, naseibangun bol hite,” ati.
Please let us go to the Jordan, where each of us can get a log so we can build ourselves a place to live there.” “Go,” said Elisha.
3 Amaho lah’a khat in atem’un, “Neihung kilhonpiuvin,” ati. Aman jong, “Hung nange,” atin ahi.
Then one of them said, “Please come with your servants.” “I will come,” he replied.
4 Hichun Elisha jong amaho chutoh akilhon tauvin ahi. Jordan aga lhun phat’un, amahon thing akitan tauvin ahi.
So Elisha went with them, and when they came to the Jordan, they began to cut down some trees.
5 Ahin amaholah’a khat chun thing akitan pet’un aheichang chu vadunga alhahsah tan ahi. Ama jong ahung apeng jah jengin, “Vo hepu, hiche heicha chu mi’a bat ding’a kahin lah ahi,” ati.
As one of them was cutting down a tree, the iron axe head fell into the water. “Oh, my master,” he cried out, “it was borrowed!”
6 Pathen mipan ahin seijin, “Hoilai donna nalhah ham?” ati. Aman jong amun avetsah phat chun Elisha’n molkhat alan amun laitah’a chu agakholut’a ahileh heichang chu twichungah ahung kiletdohtan ahi.
“Where did it fall?” asked the man of God. And when he showed him the place, the man of God cut a stick, threw it there, and made the iron float.
7 Hichun Elisha’n, “Kilah in,” ati, hichun mipan agahsangin akimat tan ahi.
“Lift it out,” he said, and the man reached out his hand and took it.
8 Syria lengpa chu Israelte toh akisatto laitah chun, aman asepai lamkaite toh akihoutoh un hitin asei uve, “Eihon isepaiteu chu hilai mun khat’a ngahmun kisem ute akitiuve.”
Now the king of Aram was at war against Israel. After consulting with his servants, he said, “My camp will be in such and such a place.”
9 Ahinlah apettah chun Pathen mipa Elisha’n gangtah in Israel lengpa ana gah hilchah in, “Hichelai munna chun che hih un ajeh chu Syria ten asepaiteu chu hilai munna chu changpang a ana umdiu ahi,” atipeh tan ahi.
Then the man of God sent word to the king of Israel: “Be careful passing by this place, for the Arameans are going down there.”
10 Hiti chun Israel lengpan Pathen mipan aseipehna mun mun’a chun asepaite asolji ahi. Kiging jing’a aum jing thei nading un, phatseh in Elisha’n Israel lengpa chu aseipeh jingin chule ana hilchah jing in ahi.
So the king of Israel sent word to the place the man of God had pointed out. Time and again Elisha warned the king, so that he was on his guard in such places.
11 Syria lenpa chu hiche chungchang’a hin, alung ahang lheh jengtan, hijehchun aman anoija lamkai pipu hochu akoukhom’in hiti hin aseitan, “Koipen hi galmi langa pang naum uham? Koipen hin Israel lengpa hi kei tohgon ana seipeh jiuham?” ati.
For this reason the king of Aram became enraged and called his servants to demand of them, “Tell me, which one of us is on the side of the king of Israel?”
12 Hichun anoija lamkai pipuho khat’in ahin donbut’in, “Hepu lengpa keiho kahipouve, Israel te lah’a hin Elisha kiti themgao khat aumin, amahin lengpahi ijakai aseipehji ahi. Amahin nachanga najal khunna naumpetna na thusei jouse jong hi ahet ahi,” atipeh tan ahi.
But one of his servants replied, “No one, my lord the king. For Elisha, the prophet in Israel, tells the king of Israel the very words you speak in your bedroom.”
13 Hichun lengpan thu ahin pen, “Cheuvinlang amachu hoiya um’aham, gahe chen’unlang keiman ama manding chu kasepaite kasolding ahi,” ati. Hiti chun amahon jong agahetoh un, “Amahi Dothan na aume,” tin ahung seipeh tauvin ahi.
So the king said, “Go and see where he is, that I may send men to capture him.” On receiving the report, “Elisha is in Dothan,”
14 Hichun Syria lengpan hiche khopi sung umding’in sepai tamtah leh sakol kangtalai tamtah asoltan ahi.
the king of Aram sent horses, chariots, and a great army. They went there by night and surrounded the city.
15 Pathen mipa sohpa chu jingpitah in ahung thouvin, pam lang agapotdoh leh sepai tamtah leh sakol kangtalai tamtah muntin’ah amutan ahileh, Elisha kom’a chun, “O hepu i-itiding hitam?” tin apeng jah jingin ahi.
When the servant of the man of God got up and went out early in the morning, an army with horses and chariots had surrounded the city. So he asked Elisha, “Oh, my master, what are we to do?”
16 Elisha’n ama kom’ah, “Kicha hihin, amaho sangin eini panpiho atamjouve,” ati.
“Do not be afraid,” Elisha answered, “for those who are with us are more than those who are with them.”
17 Hijou chun Elisha jong atauvin, “O Pakai, amit hin hadohsah in lang, hin muchetsah tan,” tin atauvin ahileh, Pakaiyin gollhangpa mitchu ahadohsahtan ahileh Elisha vella molpang hochu sakolte le akangtalai ho meikongin atom anadimset in ahi.
Then Elisha prayed, “O LORD, please open his eyes that he may see.” And the LORD opened the eyes of the young man, and he saw that the hills were full of horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha.
18 Syria sepaite chu Elisha manding’a ahungsuh phat uchun, Elisha atauvin, “O Pakai amaho hi amit’u suhchot pehtan,” atin ahileh Elisha’n angeh bang bangin Pakaiyin amit’u asuhchot pehtan ahi.
As the Arameans came down against him, Elisha prayed to the LORD, “Please strike these people with blindness.” So He struck them with blindness, according to the word of Elisha.
19 Hichun Elisha apotdoh in amaho kom’a chun, “Nahung naohi adihtapoi hichehi nahollu khopi chu ahipoi, neihinjui jun, keiman nahol nao kom’a chun napuilut nao vinge” ati. Hiti chun amaho chu Samaria khopia chun apuilut tan ahi.
And Elisha told them, “This is not the way, and this is not the city. Follow me, and I will take you to the man you are seeking.” And he led them to Samaria.
20 Samaria khopi chu alhunphat’un, Elisha atauvin, “O Pakai tun amit’u hasah kit’in lang kho musah tan,” ati. Hiti chun Pakaiyin amit’u ahasah in ahileh amaho Samaria khopi alailunga um ahiu akimudoh tauvin ahi.
When they had entered Samaria, Elisha said, “O LORD, open the eyes of these men that they may see.” Then the LORD opened their eyes, and they looked around and discovered that they were in Samaria.
21 Israel lengpan amaho chu amudoh phat’in Elisha kom’a chun ahin samjah jingin, “Hepa hiche hohi katha gamding hitam? Kathagam ding hitam?” ahintin ahi.
And when the king of Israel saw them, he asked Elisha, “My father, shall I kill them? Shall I kill them?”
22 Elisha’n ahin donbut’in, “Nathathei louding ahi! Gal-hing’a kiman hohi kithatji ngai em? Anehdiu le adondiu joh pen lang apu kom langa le sultan,” ati.
“Do not kill them,” he replied. “Would you kill those you have captured with your own sword or bow? Set food and water before them, that they may eat and drink and then return to their master.”
23 Hiti chun lengpan ankong thupitah ahin sem’in, anehsah in, apupau kom langa ale soltan ahi. Hichejou chun Syria galmite Israel gam ahin nokhum tapouvin ahi.
So the king prepared a great feast for them, and after they had finished eating and drinking, he sent them away, and they returned to their master. And the Aramean raiders did not come into the land of Israel again.
24 Ahin phat chomkhat set jouhin Syria lengpa Benhadad in agalmite jouse atit khom’in Samaria khopi ahin umkhum tauvin ahi.
Some time later, Ben-hadad king of Aram assembled his entire army and marched up to besiege Samaria.
25 Hijeh chun khopi sunga chun kel lhahna nasatah aumtan ahi. Khopi aumkhum nao chu asot lheh jingtan ahileh sangan luchang khatchu dangka somget in akijoh in, gam louthul til jing jong atena khat hoplia hopkhatna chun dangka nga in akijoh tan ahi.
So there was a great famine in Samaria. Indeed, they besieged the city so long that a donkey’s head sold for eighty shekels of silver, and a quarter cab of dove’s dung sold for five shekels of silver.
26 Nikhat hi Israel lengpa chu khopi pal chunga chun avah lelen ahileh numeikhat in ahin kouvin, “Kapu lengpa neihuh in,” ahin tin ahi.
As the king of Israel was passing by on the wall, a woman cried out to him, “Help me, my lord the king!”
27 Chuin aman adonbut in, “Pakaiyin nakithopi louleh keiman ipi kabolpeh thei ding ham? Keiman changvohna pholla konin changla kanei tapon, lengpi twijong aheh lhahna a konin kanei tapon hoiya ipi kalah’a nang kapehding ham?” ati.
He answered, “If the LORD does not help you, where can I find help for you? From the threshing floor or the winepress?”
28 Ahin lengpan adongin “Ipi ham nahahsatna,” tin adongin ahileh amanun adonbut, “Hiche numeinu hin kakom’ah ahungin tunin nang chapa chu nehitin jingleh keichapa nena hite atin,” ahi.
Then the king asked her, “What is the matter?” And she answered, “This woman said to me, ‘Give up your son, that we may eat him, and tomorrow we will eat my son.’
29 Hijeh chun keichapa kakihon lhonin kane lhontai, ajingin ama chapa kitha hitin neta hite katileh, aman akisel mangtai,” ati.
So we boiled my son and ate him, and the next day I said to her, ‘Give up your son, that we may eat him.’ But she had hidden her son.”
30 Hichun Lengpan hiche thuhi ajah doh phat’in lunghangtah in apon abottel jingin ahi. Hitia chu lengpa palchunga ava lena a chun mipi hon khaodip pon akisil chu amuvin ahi.
When the king heard the words of the woman, he tore his clothes. And as he passed by on the wall, the people saw the sackcloth under his clothes next to his skin.
31 Lengpa apengjah jingin, “Tuni tah ahi Elisha luchang katan louleh Pathen’in keima eithat jinghen” tin akihahsel jah jengtan ahi.
He announced, “May God punish me, and ever so severely, if the head of Elisha son of Shaphat remains on his shoulders through this day!”
32 Hitia chu lengpan akoudia mi asol chun, Elisha chu Israel upa hotoh ainsungah ana toukhom’un, akoupa chu ahunglhun masang in Elisha’n upahojah achun, “Hiche tolthat pakhun keilol tang dingin mikhat ahin sollin ahi. Ama ahunglhun tengleh kot kamkhum mun hin lutsah hih un, ama nunga apupan ahin juipai ding ahi,” ati.
Now Elisha was sitting in his house, and the elders were sitting with him. The king sent a messenger ahead, but before he arrived, Elisha said to the elders, “Do you see how this murderer has sent someone to cut off my head? Look, when the messenger comes, shut the door to keep him out. Is not the sound of his master’s footsteps behind him?”
33 Elisha’n hitia thu asei jinglai sung chun thupole pachu ahung lhung paitan, chule lengpa chun aseipaijin, “Hiche lungkhamna hojouse hi Pakaija kon ahi, chuti ahileh kon Pakai chu iti kanga jing nahlai ding ham?” ati.
While Elisha was still speaking with them, the messenger came down to him. And the king said, “This calamity is from the LORD. Why should I wait for the LORD any longer?”
