< 1 Kings 22 >

1 They continued three years without war between Syria and Israel.
Saning thumto thung Syria hoi Israel misa angtukhaih om ai.
2 In the third year, Jehoshaphat the king of Judah came down to the king of Israel.
Toe saning thumto haih naah Judah siangpahrang Jehosaphat loe Israel siangpahrang khaeah caeh.
3 The king of Israel said to his servants, “You know that Ramoth Gilead is ours, and we do nothing, and don’t take it out of the hand of the king of Syria?”
Israel siangpahrang mah a tamnanawk khaeah, Gilead prae ih Ramoth vangpui loe aicae ih prae ah ni oh, tiah na panoek o ai maw? Tipongah Syria siangpahrang ban thung hoiah la let ai ah a oh o duem loe? tiah a naa.
4 He said to Jehoshaphat, “Will you go with me to battle to Ramoth Gilead?” Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel, “I am as you are, my people as your people, my horses as your horses.”
To pongah Jehosaphat khaeah, Gilead prae ih Ramoth vangpui tuk hanah nang bomh han maw? tiah a naa. Jehosaphat mah Israel siangpahrang khaeah, Kai doeh nang baktiah ni ka oh; kai ih kaminawk doeh nang ih kaminawk baktiah ni oh o, kai ih hrangnawk doeh nang ih hrang baktiah ni oh, tiah a naa.
5 Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel, “Please enquire first for the LORD’s word.”
Toe Jehosaphat mah Israel siangpahrang khaeah, Angraeng khaeah lokdueng hmaloe ah, tiah a naa.
6 Then the king of Israel gathered the prophets together, about four hundred men, and said to them, “Should I go against Ramoth Gilead to battle, or should I refrain?” They said, “Go up; for the Lord will deliver it into the hand of the king.”
To pongah Israel siangpahrang mah, cumvai palito tahmaanawk to ahmuen maeto ah pakhueng moe, nihcae khaeah, Ramoth Gilead tuk hanah ka caeh han maw? To tih ai boeh loe ka oh duem han? tiah lok a dueng. Nihcae mah, Caeh ah, Angraeng mah siangpahrang ban ah na paek tih hmang, tiah a naa o.
7 But Jehoshaphat said, “Isn’t there here a prophet of the LORD, that we may enquire of him?”
Toe Jehosaphat mah, Lokdueng hanah Angraeng ih tahmaa maeto doeh hae ah om ai maw? tiah a naa.
8 The king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, “There is yet one man by whom we may enquire of the LORD, Micaiah the son of Imlah; but I hate him, for he does not prophesy good concerning me, but evil.” Jehoshaphat said, “Don’t let the king say so.”
Israel siangpahrang mah Jehosaphat khaeah, Angraeng khae lokdueng hanah kami maeto oh vop; toe anih loe ka hoih kai ih akawng to thui vai ai; kasae khue ni a thuih, to pongah anih to ka hnukma; anih loe Imlah capa Mikaiah, tiah a naa. Jehosaphat mah, Siangpahrang loe to tiah lok apaeh han om ai, tiah a naa.
9 Then the king of Israel called an officer, and said, “Quickly get Micaiah the son of Imlah.”
To pongah Israel siangpahrang mah angmah ih angraeng maeto kawk moe, Imlah capa Mikaiah to karangah hae ah kawk oh, tiah a naa.
10 Now the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah were sitting each on his throne, arrayed in their robes, in an open place at the entrance of the gate of Samaria; and all the prophets were prophesying before them.
Israel siangpahrang hoi Judah siangpahrang Jehosaphat loe, siangpahrang kahni to angkhuk hoi moe, Samaria vangpui akunhaih khongkha hmaa ah, angraeng tangkhang nuiah anghnut hoi; tahmaanawk boih mah nihnik hmaa ah lokthuih pae o.
11 Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah made himself horns of iron, and said, “The LORD says, ‘With these you will push the Syrians, until they are consumed.’”
Kenanah capa Zedekiah mah angmah hanah sum hoiah takii to sak moe, Angraeng mah, Syria kaminawk nam rosak boih ai karoek to, hae ih takiinawk hoiah nihcae to na tanawt tih, tiah a thuih, tiah a naa.
12 All the prophets prophesied so, saying, “Go up to Ramoth Gilead and prosper; for the LORD will deliver it into the hand of the king.”
Kalah tahmaaanawk mah doeh, Ramoth Gilead to tuh ah, na pazawk tih; Angraeng mah siangpahrang ban ah paek tih, tiah thuih pae o boih.
13 The messenger who went to call Micaiah spoke to him, saying, “See now, the prophets declare good to the king with one mouth. Please let your word be like the word of one of them, and speak good.”
Mikaiah kawk han patoeh ih laicaeh mah anih khaeah, Khenah, kalah tahmaanawk boih mah loe siangpahrang khaeah, kahoih lok maeto ah ni thuih pae o; nang doeh nihcae ih lok to paroi ah loe, kahoih lok to thui toeng ah, tiah a naa.
14 Micaiah said, “As the LORD lives, what the LORD says to me, that I will speak.”
Toe Mikaiah mah, Angraeng loe hing baktih toengah, Angraeng mah thuih ih lok khue ni ka thuih han, tiah a naa.
15 When he had come to the king, the king said to him, “Micaiah, shall we go to Ramoth Gilead to battle, or shall we forbear?” He answered him, “Go up and prosper; and the LORD will deliver it into the hand of the king.”
Anih siangpahrang khaeah angzoh naah, siangpahrang mah, Mikaiah, Ramoth Gilead tuk hanah ka caeh han maw, ka caeh mak ai? tiah a dueng. Anih mah siangpahrang khaeah, Caeh ah, na pazawk tih, Angraeng mah siangpahrang ban ah na paek tih, tiah a naa.
16 The king said to him, “How many times do I have to adjure you that you speak to me nothing but the truth in the LORD’s name?”
Siangpahrang mah anih khaeah, Angraeng ih ahmin hoiah kamsoem ai hmuen tidoeh thui hmah, kamsoem hmuen khue to thuih hanah, vai nazetto maw lokkamhaih kang saksak han? tiah a naa.
17 He said, “I saw all Israel scattered on the mountains, as sheep that have no shepherd. The LORD said, ‘These have no master. Let them each return to his house in peace.’”
To naah Maikaiah mah, Tuu toepkung om ai, kamhet phang tuunawk baktiah, mae nuiah kamhet phang Israel kaminawk to ka hnuk; Angraeng mah, Hae kaminawk loe angraeng tawn o ai pongah, nihcae loe angmacae im ah amlaem o boih nasoe, tiah a thuih, tiah a naa.
18 The king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, “Didn’t I tell you that he would not prophesy good concerning me, but evil?”
Israel siangpahrang mah Jehosaphat khaeah, Hae kami mah kai hanah kahoih hmuen tidoeh thui vai ai, kasae khue ni a thuih, tiah ka thuih na ai maw? tiah a naa.
19 Micaiah said, “Therefore hear the LORD’s word. I saw the LORD sitting on his throne, and all the army of heaven standing by him on his right hand and on his left.
Mikaiah mah, To pongah Angraeng ih lok to tahngai ah, angmah ih angraeng tangkhang pongah anghnu Angraeng hoi a taeng ah banqoi bantang angdoe van misatuh kaminawk to ka hnuk.
20 The LORD said, ‘Who will entice Ahab, that he may go up and fall at Ramoth Gilead?’ One said one thing, and another said another.
Angraeng mah, Ahab loe Ramoth Gilead ah misatuk moe, to ah duek hanah mi mah maw zoek thai tih? tiah a naa. To naah kami maeto mah hae tiah thuih moe, kalah maeto bae mah hae tiah thuih pae.
21 A spirit came out and stood before the LORD, and said, ‘I will entice him.’
Hnukkhuem ah muithla maeto angzoh, Angraeng hmaa ah angdoet moe, kai mah ka zoek han hmang, tiah a naa.
22 The LORD said to him, ‘How?’ He said, ‘I will go out and will be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets.’ He said, ‘You will entice him, and will also prevail. Go out and do so.’
Angraeng mah, Kawbangmaw na zoek han loe? tiah a dueng. Anih mah, Ka caeh moe, angmah ih tahmaanawk pakha ah amsawnlok kathui muithla ah ka oh pae han, tiah a naa. Angraeng mah, Nang mah na zoek thai tih, caeh loe, sah ah, tiah a naa.
23 Now therefore, behold, the LORD has put a lying spirit in the mouth of all these your prophets; and the LORD has spoken evil concerning you.”
To pongah Angraeng mah nangmah ih tahmaanawk ih pakha ah amsawnlok thui thaih muithla to suek moe, nam ro hanah Angraeng mah lok takroek boeh, tiah a naa.
24 Then Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah came near and struck Micaiah on the cheek, and said, “Which way did the LORD’s Spirit go from me to speak to you?”
Toe Kananah capa Zedekiah loe caeh tahang moe, Mikaiah to mikhmai ah tabaeng pacoengah, Angraeng ih Muithla loe kai khae hoi tacawt ueloe, nang khaeah lokthui tih maw? tiah a naa.
25 Micaiah said, “Behold, you will see on that day when you go into an inner room to hide yourself.”
Mikaiah mah, Khenah, imthung ah nang hawk na niah, na panoek tih, tiah a naa.
26 The king of Israel said, “Take Micaiah, and carry him back to Amon the governor of the city and to Joash the king’s son.
To naah Israel siangpahrang mah, Mikaiah to hoi oh loe, vangpui ukkung Ammon hoi siangpahrang capa Joash khaeah caeh o haih ah.
27 Say, ‘The king says, “Put this fellow in the prison, and feed him with bread of affliction and with water of affliction, until I come in peace.”’”
Siangpahrang mah, Hae kami hae thongim thungah pakhrah oh, lunghoihta hoiah kang zo ai karoek to, takaw hoi tui khue ai ah loe, tidoeh paek o hmah, tiah a thuih, tiah thui paeh, tiah a naa.
28 Micaiah said, “If you return at all in peace, the LORD has not spoken by me.” He said, “Listen, all you people!”
Mikaiah mah, Lunghoihta hoiah nam laem let nahaeloe, Angraeng mah kai khaeah lokthui ai ah ni om tih; Aw kaminawk boih, ka thuih ih lok hae pakuem oh, tiah a naa.
29 So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah went up to Ramoth Gilead.
To pongah Israel siangpahrang hoi Judah siangpahrang Jehosaphat loe Gilead prae Ramoth vangpui ah caeh hoi tahang.
30 The king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, “I will disguise myself and go into the battle, but you put on your robes.” The king of Israel disguised himself and went into the battle.
Israel siangpahrang mah Jehosaphat khaeah, Kai loe krang angthlaeng moe, misa angtukhaih ahmuen ah ka caeh han; toe nang loe siangpahrang khukbuen to angkhuk ah, tiah a naa. Israel siangpahrang loe krang angthlaeng moe, misa angtukhaih ahmuen ah caeh.
31 Now the king of Syria had commanded the thirty-two captains of his chariots, saying, “Don’t fight with small nor great, except only with the king of Israel.”
Toe Syria siangpahrang mah angmah ih hrang lakok ukkung angraeng quithumto pacoeng, hnettonawk khaeah, Israel siangpahrang khue ai ah loe, kami kalen doeh, kathoeng doeh, tuh o hmah, tiah a naa.
32 When the captains of the chariots saw Jehoshaphat, they said, “Surely that is the king of Israel!” and they came over to fight against him. Jehoshaphat cried out.
Hrang lakok ukkung ih angraengnawk mah Jehosaphat to hnuk o naah, Hae kami loe Israel siangpahrang kalang boeh mue, tiah poek o. To pongah anih to tuk hanah patom o; to naah Jehosaphat loe hangh.
33 When the captains of the chariots saw that it was not the king of Israel, they turned back from pursuing him.
Hrang ukkung angraengnawk mah anih loe, Israel siangpahrang na ai ni, tiah panoek o naah, patom ai ah toengh o sut.
34 A certain man drew his bow at random, and struck the king of Israel between the joints of the armour. Therefore he said to the driver of his chariot, “Turn around, and carry me out of the battle, for I am severely wounded.”
Toe kami maeto mah pala to lak moe, kah naah, Israel siangpahrang ih aphaw salakah cop; to naah siangpahrang mah hrang lakok mong kami khaeah, Karangah angqoih loe, misatukhaih ahmuen hoiah na cawn haih ah, ahmaa ka caak boeh, tiah a naa.
35 The battle increased that day. The king was propped up in his chariot facing the Syrians, and died at evening. The blood ran out of the wound into the bottom of the chariot.
To na ni loe misatuk paroeai nung. Siangpahrang loe Syria kaminawk hoi misa angtuk nathung hrang lakok nuiah kami to amha moe oh; ahma hoi tacawt athii loe hrang lakok thung ah long tathuk boih, duembang phak naah loe a duek.
36 A cry went throughout the army about the going down of the sun, saying, “Every man to his city, and every man to his country!”
Duembang tue phak naah loe, Kami boih angmacae vangpui hoi angmacae prae ah caeh o boih ah, tiah misatuh kaminawk thungah lok taphonghaih to sak o.
37 So the king died, and was brought to Samaria; and they buried the king in Samaria.
Siangpahrang loe duek moe, Samaria ah aput o pacoengah, to ah aphum o.
38 They washed the chariot by the pool of Samaria; and the dogs licked up his blood where the prostitutes washed themselves, according to the LORD’s word which he spoke.
Samaria ih tuili maeto ah, maiphaw maica hoi hrangleengnawk to pasaeh o. Angraeng mah thuih ih lok baktih toengah, uinawk mah anih ih athii to palaeh o.
39 Now the rest of the acts of Ahab, and all that he did, and the ivory house which he built, and all the cities that he built, aren’t they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
Ahab siangpahrang ah oh nathung kaom hmuennawk hoi a sak ih hmuennawk, tasaino hoi sak ih siangpahrang im, sipae hoi thungh ih vangpuinawk loe, Israel siangpahrangnawk ahmin pakuemhaih cabu thungah tarik o na ai maw?
40 So Ahab slept with his fathers; and Ahaziah his son reigned in his place.
Ahab loe ampanawk khaeah anghak; anih zuengah a capa Ahaziah to siangpahrang ah oh.
41 Jehoshaphat the son of Asa began to reign over Judah in the fourth year of Ahab king of Israel.
Israel siangpahrang Ahab siangpahrang ah ohhaih saning palito naah, Asa capa Jehosaphat to Judah siangpahrang ah oh.
42 Jehoshaphat was thirty-five years old when he began to reign; and he reigned twenty-five years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Azubah the daughter of Shilhi.
Jehosaphat siangpahrang ah oh naah, saning quithumto pacoeng, saning pangato oh boeh; anih loe Jerusalem ah saning pumphae pangato thung siangpahrang ah oh. Amno ih ahmin loe, Shilhi canu Azubah.
43 He walked in all the way of Asa his father. He didn’t turn away from it, doing that which was right in the LORD’s eyes. However, the high places were not taken away. The people still sacrificed and burnt incense on the high places.
Anih loe a sak ih hmuen boih ah, ampa Asa ih loklam to caeh taak ai, pazui boih; Angraeng mikhnuk ah katoeng hmuen to a sak; toe hmuensangnawk to phrae ai; to pongah kaminawk mah to ahmuen ah angbawnhaih sak o moe, hmuihoihnawk to a thlaek o.
44 Jehoshaphat made peace with the king of Israel.
Jehosaphat loe Israel siangpahrang hoi angdaehhaih to sak.
45 Now the rest of the acts of Jehoshaphat, and his might that he showed, and how he fought, aren’t they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
Jehosaphat siangpahrang ah oh nathung kaom hmuennawk, a thacakhaih hoi misa angtukhaihnawk loe, Judah siangpahrangnawk ahmin pakuemhaih cabu thungah tarik o na ai maw?
46 The remnant of the sodomites, that remained in the days of his father Asa, he put away out of the land.
Anih loe ampa Asa hing nathung kaom kanghmat tangyat zaw nongpanawk to prae thung hoiah haek boih.
47 There was no king in Edom. A deputy ruled.
To naah Edom ah siangpahrang om ai; siangpahrang bomkung mah ni prae to uk.
48 Jehoshaphat made ships of Tarshish to go to Ophir for gold, but they didn’t go, for the ships wrecked at Ezion Geber.
Jehosaphat loe Ophir ah sui phawh hanah Tarshish palongpui to sak; toe palongpui loe Ezion-Geber vangpui ah amro ving pongah, vaito doeh tuipui hoiah kholong caeh vai ai.
49 Then Ahaziah the son of Ahab said to Jehoshaphat, “Let my servants go with your servants in the ships.” But Jehoshaphat would not.
To naah Ahab capa Ahaziah mah Jehosaphat khaeah, Na tamnanawk hoi kai ih tamnanawk palongpui thungah nawnto caeh o nasoe, tiah a naa. Toe Jehosaphat mah angmak pae.
50 Jehoshaphat slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in his father David’s city. Jehoram his son reigned in his place.
To pacoengah Jehosaphat loe ampanawk khaeah anghak moe, ampa David vangpui thungah aphum o. Anih zuengah a capa Jehoram to siangpahrang ah oh.
51 Ahaziah the son of Ahab began to reign over Israel in Samaria in the seventeenth year of Jehoshaphat king of Judah, and he reigned two years over Israel.
Judah siangpahrang Jehosaphat siangpahrang ah ohhaih saning hatlaisarihto naah, Ahab capa Ahaziah to Israel siangpahrang ah oh; saning hnetto thung Israel siangpahrang ah oh.
52 He did that which was evil in the LORD’s sight, and walked in the way of his father, and in the way of his mother, and in the way of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, in which he made Israel to sin.
Anih loe Angraeng mikhnuk ah kahoih ai hmuen to sak; Israel kaminawk zaehaih sahsakkung, Nabat capa Jeroboam caehhaih loklam, amno hoi ampa caehhaih loklam to pazui.
53 He served Baal and worshipped him, and provoked the LORD, the God of Israel, to anger in all the ways that his father had done so.
Ampa mah sak ih hmuen baktih toengah, Baal ih tok to sak pae moe, anih to bok pongah, Israel Angraeng Sithaw to palungphuisak.
