< 2 Kings 3 >

1 And Jehoram, the son of Ahab, became king over Israel in Samaria in the eighteenth year of the rule of Jehoshaphat, king of Judah; and he was king for twelve years.
Judah gam’a Jehoshaphat lenggam vai poh kum somle get chan kum chun Ahab chapa Joram in Israel te chunga vai anapon ahi. Aman Samaria khopia kum somle ni vai ana pon ahi.
2 He did evil in the eyes of the Lord; but not like his father and his mother, for he put away the stone pillar of Baal which his father had made.
Amahin anule apa tobang lom in thilse ana bolpon ahinlah Pathen mitmu’n thilse jeng anabollin ahi. Amahin apan anatundoh Baal houna dia apan anatun khumpi theng teho vang anavo lhun ahi.
3 But still he did the same sins which Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, did and made Israel do; he went on in them.
Ahijing vang'in Nebat chapa Jeroboam in Israel mipite ana chonset sahna hiche chonsetna chu ana chejompi jingin ahi.
4 Now Mesha, king of Moab, was a sheep-farmer; and he gave regularly to the king of Israel the wool from a hundred thousand lambs and a hundred thousand sheep.
Moab mi Mesha lengpa chu kelngoi chi pun sahmi anahi. Amahin Israel lengpahi kumseh a kelngoi sang jakhat chuleh kelchal sang jakhat mul anapehji ahi.
5 But when Ahab was dead, the king of Moab got free from the authority of the king of Israel.
Ahinlah Ahab athi phat in Moab lengpan Israel lengpa ana doutan ahi.
6 At that time, King Jehoram went out from Samaria and got all Israel together in fighting order.
Hijeh chun Joram lengpan jong Samaria konin Israel sepai gangtah in ahin toldoh in,
7 And he sent to Jehoshaphat, king of Judah, saying, The king of Moab has got free from my authority: will you go with me to make war on Moab? And he said, I will go with you: I am as you are, my people as your people, and my horses as your horses.
Lampia chun Judah lengpa Jehoshaphat chu thu agah thot’in, “Moab lengpa kei dounan gal ahin boltan ahi, amaho toh kisatna ding ahi neihung panhu theiding hinam? atin ahi. Hichun Jehoshaphat in adonbut in, “Ibola kahung da ding ham? Nangle kei thakhat ihi chula am? Kei sepai hochu nang sepai ahin, kasakol hochu nang sakol ahi,” ati.
8 And he said, Which way are we to go? And he said in answer, By the waste land of Edom.
Hijou chun Jehoshaphat in adongin, “Hoiche lampi iho ding ham?” atile Joram in adonbut in, “Edom gamthip noija kona inokhum ding ahi,” ati.
9 So the king of Israel went with the king of Judah and the king of Edom by a roundabout way for seven days: and there was no water for the army or for the beasts they had with them.
Hichun Edom lengpan jong ahin jop in, athum’un nisagi sungin gamthip noija chun avel lam in akitollun ahi.” Ahin mihem le gancha dingin twi anei tapouvin ahi.
10 And the king of Israel said, Here is trouble: for the Lord has got these three kings together to give them into the hands of Moab.
“Ipi itidiu hitam?” tin Israel lengpa chu ahung pengjah jingin ahi, “Pakaiyin hilai mun nahi Moab lengpa jovah dinga hi eihin puilut u hita hila,” ati.
11 But Jehoshaphat said, Is there no prophet of the Lord here, through whom we may get directions from the Lord? And one of the king of Israel's men said in answer, Elisha, the son of Shaphat, is here, who was servant to Elijah.
Ahin Judah lengpan Jehoshaphat in, “I-lah uva themgao jaolouva ham? Aumma ahileh i-iti diuham idoh theiju ahi,” ati. Joram lengpa noija lamkai khat in ahin donbut’in, “Saphat chapa Elisha chu hikom’a aume ati. Amahi Elijah noija natong ahi,” ahin tin ahi.
12 And Jehoshaphat said, The word of the Lord is with him. So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat and the king of Edom went down to him.
Hichun Jehoshaphat in, “Ama koma hi Pakaiyin thu aseiji ahitai,” ati. Hiti chun Israelte, Judahte chule Edom leng ho chu Elisha adong din ache tauvin ahi.
13 But Elisha said to the king of Israel, What have I to do with you? go to the prophets of your father and your mother. And the king of Israel said, No; for the Lord has got these three kings together to give them up into the hands of Moab.
Elisha’n Israel lengpa kom’ah, “Ipi dinga kei kom’a nahung uham? Nanu le napa themgao kom’a nacheule iti ham?” ati. Hichun Israel lengpa Joram chun ahipoi, “Pakaiyin leng thum hohi Moab lengpan ajodinga eihin puilut’u ahibouve,” ati.
14 Then Elisha said, By the life of the Lord of armies whose servant I am, if it was not for the respect I have for Jehoshaphat, king of Judah, I would not give a look at you, or see you.
Elisha’n adonbut in, “Keiman kahou Hatchungnung Pakai minna kasei ahi, Judah lengpa Jehoshaphat kaja lou hileh nanghi kadonlou ding nahi,” ati.
15 But now, get me a player of music, and it will come about that while the man is playing, the hand of the Lord will come on me and I will give you the word of the Lord: and they got a player of music, and while the man was playing, the hand of the Lord was on him.
“Koipen nahiuvem, nalah uva semjangsai them naum uvem? Ama chu kakom’a hinpuilut un,” ati. Semjang chu asai peh phat in Pakai thahatna chu Elisha chunga ahung chutan ahi leh,
16 And he said, The Lord says, I will make this valley full of water-holes.
Aman hiti hin asei peh tan ahi, “Pakaiyin aseije, Hiche phaicham hi twi dimna twikul hung hi ding ahi.
17 For the Lord says, Though you see no wind or rain, the valley will be full of water, and you and your armies and your beasts will have drink.
Nanghon huile go gin najah loudiu ahi, ahinla hiche phaicham hi twi hung dimset ding ahi. Chutengle, nanghon nangho dingle nagancha hole ganhing dangho dinga jong nanei letset diu ahi tin Pakaiyin aseije,” ati.
18 And this will be only a small thing to the Lord: in addition he will give the Moabites into your hands.
“Ahin hiche hi Pakai dinga imacha ahipoi, ajeh chu aman Moab sepaite chunga jong gal najosah diu ahi,” ati.
19 And you are to put every walled town to destruction, cutting down every good tree, and stopping up every water-spring, and making all the good land rough with stones.
“Nanghon akhopiu phalai ho jouse jong chuleh kul kigetkhum hojong nalah diu, athingphung phalai jeng jong nalah diu, natuhchaidiu, atwikhuh hou jing jong nadip pehdiu agamphalai jouse jong song nadip sahdiu, nasuhmang pehdiu ahi,” ati.
20 Now in the morning, about the time when the offering was made, they saw water flowing from the direction of Edom till the country was full of water.
Ajing nikhon, jingkah gan kilhaina semphat don laitah in, phulou helouvin twi ahung putdoh tan ahi. Hichu Edom lang ngan ah alongin ahi.
21 Now all Moab, hearing that the kings had come to make war against them, got together all who were able to take up arms and went forward to the edge of the country.
Langkhat ah galmi thum, amaho doudin ahung kitol’e tithu Moab miten ajahdoh phat’un, amahon chempai kiko theibep chan geijin gamgi dungjui chun akigol jeng un ahi.
22 And early in the morning they got up, when the sun was shining on the water, and they saw the water facing them as red as blood.
Ahinlah ajing jingkah in, athoudoh un ahile nisa chun twi chung chu akhon ahileh Moab mite ding chun asan in, thisan abangtan ahi.
23 Then they said, This is blood: it is clear that destruction has come on the kings; they have been fighting one another: now come, Moab, let us take their goods.
Moab miten asam’un “Hiche kho thisan ahi, galmi thumho khu amaho le amaho kithat touva ahitai - Moab mite cheu hitin athil’u gakichom uhite,” akitiuve.
24 But when they came to the tents of Israel, the Israelites came out and made a violent attack on the Moabites, so that they went in flight before them; and they went forward still attacking them;
Ahinlah Moab mite chu Israelte ngahmun ahunglhun phat’un, Israel galmi hochu alhaidoh un amaho chu anokhum un, Moab gamgeijin ano uvin achejom’un thil jouse asubei soh jengun ahi.
25 Pulling down the towns, covering every good field with stones, stopping up all the water-springs, and cutting down all the good trees; they went on driving Moab before them till only in Kir-hareseth were there any Moabites; and the fighting-men went round the town raining stones on it.
Amahon akhopi houchu asubei jun, agampha laiho jouse chu song in adip’un, atwikhuh hou asubing un, athingphung phajouse aphuh lhuh peh’un ahi. Ajona in Kir-hareseth leh asongpal ho bou akhen tauvin ahi, ahin song sep themhon aumkimvel un anokhum tauvin ahi.
26 And when the king of Moab saw that the fight was going against him, he took with him seven hundred men armed with swords, with the idea of forcing a way through to the king of Aram, but they were not able to do so.
Moab lengpan gal alal chu amudoh phat’in chemjam lamthei cheh mi jasagi toh Edom lengpa komlang chu phutvang un jamdoh agouvin ahileh ajou tapouvin ahi.
27 Then he took his oldest son, who would have been king after him, offering him as a burned offering on the wall. So there was great wrath against Israel; and they went away from him, back to their country.
Hijou chun Moab lengpan achapa tahpen, ama khel a leng chang dingpa chu aman’in palchunga chun kilhaina dingin akatdoh tan ahi. Hijeh chun Israel chungah lunghanna nasatah ahung chutan ahileh Israelte akinung haijun agamlang uvah akinungle tauvin ahi.
