¹And they continued three years without war between Syria and Israel.

¹Huan kum thum sung Suria te leh Israelte kidou louin a om uh.

²And it came to pass in the third year, that Jehoshaphat the king of Judah came down to the king of Israel.

²Huan, a kum thum kumin hichi ahi a, Juda kumpipa Jehosaphat Israel kumpipa kiang ah ahoh suka.

³And the king of Israel said to his servants, Do ye know that Ramoth in Gilead is ours, and we keep quiet without taking it out of the hand of the king of Syria?

³Huan, Israel kumpipan a sikha te kiangah, "Ramoth-Gilead khua sia ahi chih thei na pi a bang chi dan a Suria kumpipa sut lou a mawk om ihi ua oi? " achi a.

⁴And he said to Jehoshaphat, Wilt thou go with me to battle to Ramoth-Gilead? And Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel, I am as thou, my people as thy people, my horses as thy horses.

⁴Huan Jehosaphat kiangah, "Ramoth-gilead ah galdou ding in ka kiangah na kuan diam? " achi a. Huan Jehosaphat in Israel kumpipa kiangah, "kei leh nang, ka mite leh na mite pum khat ihi ua, ka sakol leh na sakol pumkhat ahi ve ua le" achi a.

⁵And Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel, Inquire, I pray thee, this day of the word of Jehovah.

⁵Huan Jehosaphat in Israel kumpipa kiangah, "Toupa thu hu-ngaih ta dih in" achi a.

⁶And the king of Israel assembled the prophets, about four hundred men, and said to them, Shall I go against Ramoth-Gilead to battle, or shall I forbear? And they said, Go up, and the Lord will give it into the king's hand.

⁶Huchi in Israel kumpipan jawlnei te mi za li tak a sam khawm a, a kiang uah, "Ramoth-gilead khua sual ding in ka kuan tou diam kuan lou ding" achi a. Huan, amau "kuan in, Toupa'n kumpipa khut ah ahon pe sin ahi" achi ua.

⁷But Jehoshaphat said, Is there not here a prophet of Jehovah besides, that we might inquire of him?

⁷Himahleh Jehosaphat in "hiai a Toupa jawlnei dang kua hiam bek i dot ding om lou ahi maw? " achi a.

⁸And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, There is yet one man by whom we may inquire of Jehovah; but I hate him, for he prophesies no good concerning me, but evil: [it is] Micah the son of Imlah. And Jehoshaphat said, Let not the king say so.

⁸Huan, Israel kumpipan Jehosaphat kiangah, "Toupa hon dot sak ding mi khat Imla tapa Mikai om mah veh aw; himahleh amah bel kamuh dah lam tak ahi; ka tungtang thu lah ahoih lou lam lou ngal ahoih lam him him a gen ngei ngal kei a" achi a. Huan Jehosaphat in, "kumpipan hichi bang in chi dah leh" achi a.

⁹Then the king of Israel called a chamberlain, and said, Fetch quickly Micah the son of Imlah.

⁹Huchi in Israel kumpipan heutu khat a sam a, Imla tapa Mikai hon pi dih achi a.

¹⁰And the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah, having put on their robes, sat each on his throne, in the open place at the entrance of the gate of Samaria; and all the prophets prophesied before them.

¹⁰Huan, Israel kumpipa leh Juda kumpipa Jehosaphat bel Samari kongpi lutna chin-a phual jangah a kumpipa uh puan a ki thuam in, a lal tut phah tuak tuak uah a tu ua; huan, jawlnei tengteng in ama uah thu agen ua.

¹¹And Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah made for himself horns of iron, and he said, Thus saith Jehovah: With these shalt thou push the Syrians, until thou have exterminated them.

¹¹Huan, Kenaan tapa Zedekia in sik ki-te a bawl sak a, Toupa'n hichin achi, "hiai te in Suria te mangthang sipsip khop in na si ding, chiin, " achi a.

¹²And all the prophets prophesied so, saying, Go up to Ramoth-Gilead, and prosper; for Jehovah will give it into the king's hand.

¹²Huchi mah bangin jawlnei tengteng in Ramoth-gilead ah va hoh tou in lan, va lohching in, Toupan kumpipa khut ah ahon pe sin ahi, chi in, a gen ua.

¹³And the messenger that went to call Micah spoke to him saying, Behold now, the words of the prophets [declare] good to the king with one assent: let thy word, I pray thee, be like the word of one of them, and speak good.

¹³Huan, Mikai sam dinga a sawl pa un a kiangah, "ngaidih, jawlnei in thukhat sat in ahoih lam in kumpipa kiangah thu a gen chiat ua; agen khit sa bangchiat un na gen sam in la, ahoih lam in va gen in" chi in a gen a.

¹⁴And Micah said, As Jehovah liveth, even what Jehovah shall say to me, that will I speak.

¹⁴Huan, Mikai in, "Toupa hina louin ka gen hi, Toupan ka kiangah a gen hi, ka va gen sin" achi a.

¹⁵And he came to the king. And the king said to him, Micah, shall we go against Ramoth-Gilead to battle, or shall we forbear? And he said to him, Go up, and prosper; for Jehovah will give it into the hand of the king.

¹⁵Huan, kumpipa kiang a tun touh in, kumpipan akiangah, "Mikai, Ramoth-gilead khua sual ding in ka kuan tou ding a, kuan lou ding? " achi a. Huan, aman a dawnga, "kuan tou in la, va lohching in; Toupan kumpipa khut ah ahon pesin ahi" achi a.

¹⁶And the king said to him, How many times shall I adjure thee that thou tell me nothing but truth in the name of Jehovah?

¹⁶Huan, kumpipan akiangah, "thutak bikbek loungal ka kianga Toupa min a genlou ding in bangzah vei ahia oi ka hon ki chiamsak sin? " achi a.

¹⁷And he said, I saw all Israel scattered upon the mountains, as sheep that have no shepherd. And Jehovah said, These have no master: let them return every man to his house in peace.

¹⁷Huan, aman, Israel te tengteng ching ding neilou belam bangin tangte ah a dalh vek uh ka mu a; Toupan, hiai ten heutu anei ta kei ua, michih amau in lam ah lungmuang tak in pai diam uhen, achi ahi, achi a.

¹⁸And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, Did I not tell thee that he prophesies no good concerning me, but evil?

¹⁸Huan, Israel kumpipan Jehosaphat kiangah, "ka tungtang thu ahoih lou lam kia lou ngal ahoih lam him him agen kei ding chih ka hon hilh ahi kei mo? " achi a.

¹⁹And he said, Hear therefore the word of Jehovah: I saw Jehovah sitting upon his throne, and all the host of heaven standing by him, on his right hand and on his left;

¹⁹Huan, aman, huaiziakin TOUPA thu ngai khe dih, Toupa a lal tutphah a tu ka mu a, van a mipi tengteng, a taklam leh veilam a ding te toh.

²⁰and Jehovah said, Who shall entice Ahab that he may go up and fall at Ramoth-Gilead? And one said after this manner, and another said after that manner.

²⁰Huan, Toupan, Ahab Ramoth-gilead khua a va hoh tou a gala si ding a kuan khem ding ahia? achi ahi. Khat in hichi bangin achi a, midang in huchi bangin achi a.

²¹And there came forth a spirit, and stood before Jehovah, and said, I will entice him.

²¹Huchi in, kha khat ahong pawt a, Toupa ma ah a dinga, ken ka khem ding, achi a.

²²And Jehovah said unto him, Wherewith? And he said, I will go forth, and will be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets. And he said, Thou shalt entice [him], and also succeed: go forth, and do so.

²²Huan, Toupan a kiangah, "bangin eita? " achi a. Huan, aman, "ka va hoh dia, a jawlnei tengteng muk ah kha juau thei in ka va suak ding" achi a. Huan, aman, "na khem mah dinga, loh leng na lohching lai ding; va kuan inla, huchi bangin va hih ve leh" achi a.

²³And now, behold, Jehovah has put a lying spirit in the mouth of all these thy prophets, and Jehovah has spoken evil concerning thee.

²³Huchi in ngai in, Toupan hiai na jawlnei te tengteng muk ah kha juau thei a koih a, na tungtang thu ahoihlou lam in Toupan gen khin ahi, achi a.

²⁴Then Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah went near, and smote Micah upon the cheek, and said, Where now went the Spirit of Jehovah from me to speak to thee?

²⁴Huchi in Kenana tapa Zedekia in ahon naih a, Mikai biangah a hong benga, Toupa kha in na kiangah thugen ding in koilam ah ahi a ahon paisan? achi a.

²⁵And Micah said, Behold, thou shalt see on that day when thou shalt go from chamber to chamber to hide thyself.

²⁵Huan, Mikai in, ngai in, dantan sunggila bu ding a na lut ni chiangin na thei ding, achi a.

²⁶And the king of Israel said, Take Micah and carry him back to Amon the governor of the city, and to Joash the king's son;

²⁶Huan, Israel kumpipan, "Mikai pi unla, khopi heupa Amon leh kumpipa tapa Joas kiangah paipih nawn un";

²⁷and thou shalt say, Thus says the king: Put this [man] in the prison, and feed him with bread of affliction and with water of affliction, until I come in peace.

²⁷Huan, kumpipan hichin achi, "hiai mi suangkulh ah khum unla, lungmuang taka ka hong pai nawn masiah gim thuak na an leh gim thuak na tui nana pia un, chiin, chi un" achi a.

²⁸And Micah said, If thou return at all in peace, Jehovah has not spoken by me. And he said, Hearken, O peoples, all of you!

²⁸Huan, Mikai in, "lungmuang taka na hong pai nawn peuhmah aleh Toupan kei hon zanga thu genlou ahi mah ding" achi a. Huan, amahmah in, "nou, mipi te aw, na vek un na ja un" achi a.

²⁹And the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah went up to Ramoth-Gilead.

²⁹Huchi in Israel kumpipa leh Jehosaphat bel Ramoth-gilead khua ah ahoh tou ua.

³⁰And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, I will disguise myself, and will enter into the battle; but put thou on thy robes. And the king of Israel disguised himself, and went into the battle.

³⁰Huan, Israel kumpipan Jehosaphat kiangah, "ka ki bawl lamdang dinga, kisual na ah ka hoh tou ding e; nang bel na kumpipa puan silh in" achi a. Huchi in Israel kumpipa aki bawl lamdang a, kisual na ah ahoh tou.

³¹And the king of Syria commanded the thirty-two captains of his chariots saying, Fight neither with small nor great, but with the king of Israel only.

³¹Huan, Suria kumpipan a kangtalai tunga heutu sawmthum-le-nih te kiangah, "Israel kumpipa kia lou ngal mi neu leng, mi lian leng a kuamah sual kei un" chi in thu apia hi.

³²And it came to pass when the captains of the chariots saw Jehoshaphat, that they said, Surely that is the king of Israel; and they turned against him to fight; and Jehoshaphat cried out.

³²Huan, kangtalai tunga heutu ten Jehosaphat ava muh un, hichi ahi a, Israel kumpipa ahimah ve, achi ua; huchi in sual tum in a um ta uh; huan, Jehosaphat akikou khia hi.

³³And it came to pass that when the captains of the chariots perceived that it was not the king of Israel, they turned back from pursuing him.

³³Huan, kangtalai tunga heututen Israel kumpipa ana hikei chih a theih un hichi ahi a, a delh lai uh a nokik ta uh.

³⁴And a man drew a bow at a venture, and smote the king of Israel between the fastenings and the corslet. And he said to his charioteer, Turn thy hand, and drive me out of the camp; for I am wounded.

³⁴Huan, mikhat in tup tuan neilou in a thalpeu a lai a, Israel kumpipa lum leh lum kikal ah akap a; huchi in a kangtalai hawlpa kiangah, kai hei inla, sepaihte laka kipan hon pawt pih in, nakpia liamna ka tuak ta hi, achi a.

³⁵And the battle increased that day; and the king was stayed up in his chariot against the Syrians, and he died at even; and the blood of the wound ran out into the hollow of the chariot.

³⁵Huan, huai ni in kisual na a thupi mah mah mai a; kumpipa a kangtalai ah Suriate muh in a ding sak ua, huan, nitaklam in a si ta: huan, amah a liamsak na ua kipan sisan kangtalai sungah a luang duadua hi.

³⁶And there went the cry throughout the host at the going down of the sun, saying, Every man to his city, and every man to his own country!

³⁶Huan, nitum kuan ding khawng in, sepaihte lakah, michih amah kholam ah, michih amah gam lam ah pai vek hen, chi in a kikou chiat ta uhi.

³⁷And the king died, and was brought to Samaria; and they buried the king in Samaria.

³⁷Huchiin kumpipa asi ta a, Samari khua ah a lutpih ua; huchiin Samari khua ah kumpipa a vui ta uhi.

³⁸And one washed the chariot in the pool of Samaria; and the dogs licked his blood, where the harlots bathed: according to the word of Jehovah, which he had spoken.

³⁸Huan, Samari kho dil gei ah kangtalai a sil ua; huan, Toupa thugen bang takin uiin a sisante a liakta uhi; (huailai ah kijuakte a kisil sek uh; ).

³⁹And the rest of the acts of Ahab, and all that he did, and the ivory house that he built, and all the cities that he built, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?

³⁹Huchiin Ahab tanchin dangte, a thil hih tengteng te, a saiha inlamte, a kho bawl tengteng Israel kumpipate lal lai a thu gelhna bu ah a tuang ahi kei maw?

⁴⁰And Ahab slept with his fathers; and Ahaziah his son reigned in his stead.

⁴⁰Huchiin Ahab a pute kiangah a ihmutaa; huan, a tapa Ahazia a sikin a lalta hi.

⁴¹And Jehoshaphat the son of Asa began to reign over Judah in the fourth year of Ahab king of Israel.

⁴¹Huan, Israel kumpipa Ahab lal kum lina ah Asa tapa Jehosaphat bel Judate tungah a lal pana.

⁴²Jehoshaphat was thirty-five years old when he began to reign; and he reigned twenty-five years in Jerusalem; and his mother's name was Azubah, the daughter of Shilhi.

⁴²Jehoshaphat bel a lal pat lai in kum sawmthum leh kum nga ahi a; Jerusalem khua ah kum sawm nih leh kum nga vai a hawm. A nu min Azub, Silhi tanu ahi.

⁴³And he walked in all the way of Asa his father; he turned not aside from it, doing what was right in the sight of Jehovah. Only, the high places were not removed: the people offered and burned incense still on the high places.

⁴³Huan, a pa Asa lampi tot tengteng a tawna; pialsan hetlou in Toupa mitmuh in thil hoih ahi jel hi; mun sangte bel a la mang keia, mun sangte ah mite a kithoih lai un, gimlim a halhal lai uhi.

⁴⁴And Jehoshaphat was at peace with the king of Israel.

⁴⁴Huan, Jehosaphat in Israel kumpipa toh kilem na a bawl a.

⁴⁵And the rest of the acts of Jehoshaphat, and his might which he shewed, and how he warred, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?

⁴⁵Huchi in Jehosaphat tanchin dang te, a thilhihtheihdan ahih lat thu te, a gal sual thute Juda kumpipate lal lai thu gelh na bu ah a tuang ahi kei mawh?

⁴⁶And the remainder of the sodomites, which were left in the days of his father Asa, he put away from out of the land.

⁴⁶Huan, a pa Asa damlai a pasal kizuakte a om laite a gama kipan a delh khe vek.

⁴⁷And there was no king in Edom: a deputy reigned.

⁴⁷Huan, Edom gamah kumpipa a om kei ua, kumpipa sika pangin vai a hawm hi.

⁴⁸Jehoshaphat made Tarshish-ships to go to Ophir for gold; but they went not, for the ships were broken at Ezion-geber.

⁴⁸Johosaphat in Ophira dangka-eng po ding Tarsis longte a bawl a; himahleh ahoh ta kei ua; Ezion-geber mun ah longte lah a se vek ta ngal a.

⁴⁹Then said Ahaziah the son of Ahab to Jehoshaphat, Let my servants go with thy servants in the ships. But Jehoshaphat would not.

⁴⁹Huchi in Ahab tapa Ahazia in Jehosaphat kiangah, "ka mite na mite toh longte ah kuan khawm le uh ake" achi a. Himahleh Jehosaphat in pha a sakei.

⁵⁰And Jehoshaphat slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David his father; and Jehoram his son reigned in his stead.

⁵⁰Huan, Jehosaphat apu te kiangah a ihmu a, a pute lakah apu David khopi ah a vui ta uh; huan, a tapa Jehoram a sikin a lal ta hi.

⁵¹Ahaziah the son of Ahab began to reign over Israel in Samaria the seventeenth year of Jehoshaphat king of Judah; and he reigned two years over Israel.

⁵¹Huan, Juda kumpipa Jehosaphat lal kum sawm leh kum sagih kum in Ahab tapa Ahazia bel Samari khua ah Israelte tungah a lal pana, Israelte tungah kum nih a lal hi.

⁵²And he did evil in the sight of Jehovah, 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, who made Israel to sin.

⁵²Huan, Toupa mitmuh in thil hoihlou ahih jel a, a nu leh a pa lampi totte, Nebat tapa Israelte thil hihkhial sak pa Jeroboam lampi totte a tawn tei jel a.Huan, apa hih bang bang hih in Baal na a sem a, a be jel a, Toupa, Israelte Pathian bel a heh sak naknak hi.

⁵³And he served Baal, and worshipped him, and provoked Jehovah the God of Israel to anger, according to all that his father had done.

⁵³Huan, apa hih bang bang hih in Baal na a sem a, a be jel a, Toupa, Israelte Pathian bel a heh sak naknak hi.
