¹And it came to pass after these things, [that] Naboth the Jizreelite had a vineyard, which was in Jizreel, by the side of the palace of Ahab king of Samaria.

¹Huan huai thil nungin hichi ahia, Jareel mi Nabothin grep huan a nei a, huai bel Jezreel ah Samari kumpipa Ahab in kiang chin a om ahi uh.

²And Ahab spoke to Naboth saying, Give me thy vineyard, that I may have it for a garden of herbs, for it is near, by the side of my house; and I will give thee for it a better vineyard than it; if it seem good to thee, I will give thee its value in money.

²Huan Ahabin Naboth bel ka in kiang chin ahihziakin an-teh louhing huan ding in na grephuan hon pia in, a sik ding in grephuan hoihzaw ka hon pe ding; ahih kei leh na deihzawk ngial le-houh a dangka in aman hun ka hon pe ding chi in a houpih a.

³And Naboth said to Ahab, Jehovah forbid it me, that I should give the inheritance of my fathers to thee!

³Huan Naboth in Ahab kiangah, ka pute gou nang ka hon piak ding a-lawm in aki lawm kei achi a.

⁴And Ahab came into his house sullen and vexed because of the word that Naboth the Jizreelite had spoken to him; for he had said, I will not give thee the inheritance of my fathers. And he lay down on his bed, and turned away his face, and ate no bread.

⁴Huan Jezreel mi Nabothin huchibang thu a kianga a gen jiakin Ahab bel ngui leh lung hilou takin a in ah a lut a, ka pute gou ka hon pe theikei ding, achi bikbek ngal a. Huchi in a lupna ah a lum a, khat lam a nga a, an himhim a ne nuam ta kei hi.

⁵And Jezebel his wife came to him, and said to him, Why is thy spirit sullen, and thou eatest no bread?

⁵Huchi in a ji Jezebel a va hoh a, a kiangah, "bang chi dan ahia na lungsim huchi taka a lungkhama, an himhim na neklouh? " a chi a.

⁶And he said to her, Because I spoke to Naboth the Jizreelite and said to him, Give me thy vineyard for money; or else, if it please thee, I will give thee a vineyard for it; and he said, I will not give thee my vineyard.

⁶Huan aman a kiangah, "na grephuan hon leisak in, ahihkeileh na deih zawk leh a sik ding in grephuan dang ka honpe ding" kachi a; huan aman, "ka grephuan zaw ka hon pekei ding", chi in ahon dawng maimah a ahi, achi a.

⁷And Jezebel his wife said to him, Dost thou now exercise sovereignty over Israel? arise, eat bread, and let thy heart be glad: I will give thee the vineyard of Naboth the Jizreelite.

⁷Huan, a ji Jezebel in a kiangah, "Israel gam kumpipa na hi kei ahia? thou in la, an ne in la, lungsim nuamsa takin om ve, Jezreel mi Naboth grephuan ken ka hon pe ding" achi a.

⁸And she wrote a letter in Ahab's name, and sealed it with his seal, and sent the letter to the elders and to the nobles that were in his city, dwelling with Naboth.

⁸Huchi in Ahab min in lai a gelh a, a sawn nain a sawn a, huan huai laia a omna khua a Naboth insak-inkhang upate leh mi hoihte kiangah a thon a.

⁹And she wrote in the letter saying, Proclaim a fast, and set Naboth at the head of the people;

⁹Huan, lai ah, an-ngawl thu na naphuang unla, mipi lak ah Naboth pen makai sak unla;

¹⁰and set two men, sons of Belial, before him, and they shall bear witness against him saying, Thou didst curse God and the king; and carry him out, and stone him, that he may die.

¹⁰Mi nih Belial tate a maah tusak unla, Pathian leh kumpipa na gensia hi, chi a mi amah hek ding na bawl un. Huan, pikhia unla, ana deng lum un, achi a.

¹¹And the men of his city, the elders and the nobles that dwelt in his city, did as Jezebel had sent to them, as it was written in the letter that she had sent to them:

¹¹Huan a om na khua a mi, a om na khua a upate leh mi hoihte'n Jezebelin akiang ua a khak lai a agelh bang in ana hih ua.

¹²they proclaimed a fast, and set Naboth at the head of the people.

¹²An-ngawl thu a phuang ua, mipi lakah Naboth a makai sak uhi.

¹³And there came the two men, sons of Belial, and sat before him; and the men of Belial witnessed against him, against Naboth, in the presence of the people, saying, Naboth blasphemed God and the king. And they carried him forth out of the city, and stoned him with stones, that he died.

¹³Huan, mi nih Belial tate a ma ah a va tu ua; huan, Belial mite'n mipite ma ah, "Naboth in Pathian leh kumpipa a gensia" chi in amah a hek uhi. Huchi in khua a kipan a pi khia ua, suangin a deng ua, a si ta hi.

¹⁴And they sent to Jezebel saying, Naboth is stoned, and is dead.

¹⁴Huchi in Jezebel kiangah, Naboth suangin a deng ua, a si ta, chi in mi a sawl uhi.

¹⁵And it came to pass when Jezebel heard that Naboth was stoned and was dead, that Jezebel said to Ahab, Arise, take possession of the vineyard of Naboth the Jizreelite, which he refused to give thee for money; for Naboth is not alive, but dead.

¹⁵Huan, Jezebelin Naboth suangin a deng ua, a si ta chih a jakin hichi ahi a, Jezebelin Ahab kiangah, "thou in la, Jezreel mi Naboth grephuan, a hon leisak phallouh nei ta oleh: Naboth a dam non takei, a si ta" achi a.

¹⁶And it came to pass when Ahab heard that Naboth was dead, that Ahab rose up to go down to the vineyard of Naboth the Jizreelite, to take possession of it.

¹⁶Huan, Ahabin Naboth a si ta chih a jakin hichi ahia a, Jezreel mi Naboth grephuan nei dinga kuan suk dingin Ahab a thou ta.

¹⁷And the word of Jehovah came to Elijah the Tishbite, saying,

¹⁷Huan Toupa thu Tisbe mi Elija kiangah a hong tunga:

¹⁸Arise, go down to meet Ahab king of Israel, who is in Samaria: behold, he is in the vineyard of Naboth, whither he is gone down to take possession of it.

¹⁸Thou inla, Samari khua a om Israel kumpipa houpih ding in hoh sukin: ngai in, Naboth grephuan ah a om a, neih tum in huai ah a hoh suk hi.

¹⁹And thou shalt speak unto him saying, Thus saith Jehovah: Hast thou killed, and also taken possession? And thou shalt speak unto him saying, Thus saith Jehovah: In the place where the dogs licked the blood of Naboth shall the dogs lick thy blood, even thine.

¹⁹A kiangah, TOUPA hichi in achi, "na that a, na neihsak behlap lai maw? " chi in, chi inla, a kiangah, TOUPA'N hichin achi, "ui in Naboth sisan a liah na mun mahmah uah nang sisan leng a liak sin uhi" chi in na chi ding, chi in.

²⁰And Ahab said to Elijah, Hast thou found me, mine enemy? And he said, I have found [thee]; because thou hast sold thyself to do evil in the sight of Jehovah.

²⁰Huan Ahabin Elija kiangah, "Na hong mu ta maw, ka melma pa? " achi a. Huan, aman a dawnga, "hon mu ta kei ve, Toupa mitmuh a thil hoihlou hih dinga kizuak hive chin".

²¹Behold, I will bring evil upon thee, and will take away thy posterity, and will cut off from Ahab every male, and him that is shut up and left in Israel;

²¹"Ngai in na tungah thil hoihlou ka hon tungsak dinga, ka hon hih mang ding, Ahab akipanin ta pasal taphot Israel gama mi etzui leh etzui louh leng ka hihmang dinga,

²²and I will make thy house like the house of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, and like the house of Baasha the son of Ahijah, for the provocation wherewith thou hast provoked me to anger, and made Israel to sin.

²²Nang non hehsak jiakin leh Israelte thil na hih khelh sak jiakin Nebat tapa Jeroboam inkote leh Ahija tapa Baaz inkote bang mai in na inkote ka bawl ding" achi a.

²³And of Jezebel also spoke Jehovah saying, The dogs shall eat Jezebel by the moat of Jizreel.

²³Huan Jezebel tungtang thu leng Toupa'n a gen a, Jezebel kho-kulh chin-ah ui in Jezebel a ne ding uh;

²⁴Him that dieth of Ahab in the city shall the dogs eat, and him that dieth in the field shall the fowl of the heavens eat.

²⁴Ahab inkote laka mi khopi a si peuhmah te ui in a ne ding uh; gama misi peuhmahte tunga leng vasate'n a ne ding uh, chi in.

²⁵(Surely there was none like to Ahab, who did sell himself to do evil in the sight of Jehovah, Jezebel his wife urging him on.

²⁵(A ji Jezebel hasotna Toupa mitmuha thil hoihlou hih dinga kijuak, Ahab bang mahmah a om kei.

²⁶And he did very abominably in following idols, according to all that the Amorites did, whom Jehovah had dispossessed before the children of Israel.)

²⁶Toupa'n Israel suante ma a adelhkhiak Amorte thilhih chi teng bang, milimte bia in thil kih huai takin ahih sek).

²⁷And it came to pass when Ahab heard these words, that he rent his garments, and put sackcloth upon his flesh, and fasted, and lay in sackcloth, and went softly.

²⁷Huan, Ahab in huai thu a jak in hichi ahi a, a puan abot kek a, sai-ip puan a silha, an a ngawl a, sai-ip puan ah a lum a, dawm takin a gamtangta.

²⁸And the word of Jehovah came to Elijah the Tishbite, saying,

²⁸Huan, Toupa thu Tisbe mi Eliza kiangah a hong tunga, Ahab ka ma a aki niamkhiak dan na mu hia?Ka ma a aki niamkhiak jiakin a damsung in thil hoihlou ka tungsak kei dinga, a tapa damsung in bel a inkote tungah thil hoih lou ka tungsak ding, chi in.

²⁹Seest thou how Ahab humbleth himself before me? because he humbleth himself before me, I will not bring the evil in his days: in his son's days will I bring the evil upon his house.

²⁹Ka ma a aki niamkhiak jiakin a damsung in thil hoihlou ka tungsak kei dinga, a tapa damsung in bel a inkote tungah thil hoih lou ka tungsak ding, chi in.
