¹And Jehoram the son of Ahab began to reign over Israel in Samaria in the eighteenth year of Jehoshaphat king of Judah; and he reigned twelve years.

¹Huan, Juda kumpipa Jehosaphat kum sawm leh kum giat a lal kumin Ahab tapa Jehoram bel Israelte tungah Samari khua ah a lal pana: huan, kum sawm leh kum nih a lal hi.

²And he wrought evil in the sight of Jehovah, but not like his father, and like his mother; and he took away the column of Baal that his father had made.

²Huan, Toupa mitmuhin thil hoih lou pi a hih seka; ahihangin a nu leh a pa bang telin jaw thil a hih kei: aman jaw a pa Baal suang naphuh a pai hi.

³Only, he clave to the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat who made Israel to sin: he did not depart therefrom.

³Himahleh Israelte thil hihkhial saka a hih Nebat tapa Jeroboam khelhnate a belh chintena; a paisan nawnta kei hi.

⁴And Mesha king of Moab was a sheepmaster, and rendered to the king of Israel a hundred thousand lambs and a hundred thousand rams, with the wool.

⁴Moab kumpipa Mesa bel belam vulmi ahi a; aman Israel kumpipa lakah belam nou nuaikhat mul leh belampa nuaikhat mul siah a liau sek hi.

⁵And it came to pass when Ahab was dead, that the king of Moab rebelled against the king of Israel.

⁵Ahihhangin Ahab a sih nungin hichi ahi a, Moab kumpipa Israel kumpipa tungah a helta hi.

⁶And at that time king Jehoram went out of Samaria and inspected all Israel.

⁶Huan, Huchih lai in kumpipa Jehoram bel Samari khua a kipan a pawta, Israelte tengteng akai khawm veka.

⁷And he went and sent to Jehoshaphat the king of Judah saying, The king of Moab has rebelled against me: wilt thou go with me against Moab to battle? And he said, I will go up: I am as thou, my people as thy people, my horses as thy horses.

⁷Huchiin a pawta, Juda kumpipa Jehosaphat kiangah Moab kumpipa ka tungah a hel a, Moabte na hon sual pih nuam ding maw? Chiin mi a sawl a. Huan, aman, Hon sual pih e: kei leh nang, ka mite na mite pumkhat ihi ua, ka sakolte leh na sakolte pumkhat ahi uhi, a chi a.

⁸And he said, Which way shall we go up? And he said, By way of the wilderness of Edom.

⁸Huan, amah mahin, koilam lampi ah ahia I kuan touh ding uh? achia. Huan, aman a dawnga, Edom gamdai lam lampi ah, a chi a.

⁹And the king of Israel went, and the king of Judah, and the king of Edom, and they made a circuit of seven days' journey. And there was no water for the army, and for the cattle that followed them.

⁹Huchiin Israel kumpipa Juda kumpipa toh, Edom kumpipa toh, a kuanta ua; ni sagih a kual pai ua; huan, sepaihte leh a sa tonpihte uh dawn ding tui a om kei hi.

¹⁰And the king of Israel said, Alas! that Jehovah has called these three kings together, to give them into the hand of Moab!

¹⁰Huan, Israel kumpipan, Eheheh! Toupan kumpipa thumte Moabte khuta piak dinga honpe khawm ahi peuhmah ve, a chi a.

¹¹And Jehoshaphat said, Is there not here a prophet of Jehovah that we may inquire of Jehovah by him? And one of the king of Israel's servants answered and said, Here is Elisha the son of Shaphat, who poured water on the hands of Elijah.

¹¹Himahleh Jehosaphat in, hiai ah Toupa hon dot sak ding Toupa jawlnei kua hiam bek a om kei ua hia? a chi a. Huan, Israel kumpipa sikha khatin a dawnga, Elija khut tui a buaksekpa Saphat tapa Elisa hiai om eive, a chi a.

¹²And Jehoshaphat said, The word of Jehovah is with him. And the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat and the king of Edom went down to him.

¹²Huan, Jehosaphatin, a kiangah Toupa thu a om hi, a chi a. Huchiin Israel kumpipa leh Jehosaphat leh Edom kumpipa a kiangah a hoh sukta ua.

¹³And Elisha said to the king of Israel, What have I to do with thee? go to the prophets of thy father and to the prophets of thy mother. And the king of Israel said to him, Not so, for Jehovah has called these three kings to give them into the hand of Moab.

¹³Huan, Elisain Israel kumpipa kiangah, nang leh ken kizatna bang I nei ua leh? Na pa jawlneite kiangah leh na nu jawlneite kiangah pai mangin, a chi a. Huan, Israel kumpipan a kiangah, Pai lou e; kumpipa thumte Moabte khuta piak dingin Toupan honpi khawm ahi, a chi a.

¹⁴And Elisha said, As Jehovah of hosts liveth, before whom I stand, surely, were it not that I regard the presence of Jehoshaphat the king of Judah, I would not look toward thee nor see thee.

¹⁴Huan, Elisain, a kianga ka om na sek sepaihte Toupa hina louin ka gen hi, Juda kumpipa Jehosaphat zahtaklou hileng nang lam leng ka nga nuam kei dinga, muh leng ka hon mu nuam het kei ding hi.

¹⁵And now fetch me a minstrel. And it came to pass when the minstrel played, that the hand of Jehovah was upon him.

¹⁵Abang abang hileh, kaihging tumsiam mi hon sam un, a chi a. Huan, kaihging tumsiam in a hon tum leh, hichi ahi, Toupa khuta ahong omta hi.

¹⁶And he said, Thus saith Jehovah: Make this valley full of ditches.

¹⁶Huan, aman, Toupan hichiin a chi, hiai guam tengteng tou kuak tektuk un, chiin.

¹⁷For thus saith Jehovah: Ye shall not see wind, neither shall ye see rain; yet this valley shall be filled with water, and ye shall drink, both ye, and your cattle, and your beasts.

¹⁷Toupa mah in hichiin a chi: huih himhim na theikei ding ua, vuah him him leng na mu sam kei ding ua, himahleh hiai guam tui in a dim vek ding hi; huchiin noute leh na gan honte uh leh na sate un ane ding uh, chiin.

¹⁸And this is a light thing in the sight of Jehovah: he will give the Moabites also into your hand.

¹⁸Huai bel Toupa ngaihin thil neuchik lel ahi a; Moabte na khut uah a honpiak behlap sin ahi.

¹⁹And ye shall smite every fortified city, and every choice city, and shall fell every good tree, and stop all wells of water, and mar every good piece of land with stones.

¹⁹Huan, kulhpi nei khua tengteng leh khopi hoih tengteng na hihse ding ua, sing hoih tengteng na phuk ding ua, tui khuk tengteng na hubing ding ua, mun hoih tata suang in na deng se vek ding uh, a chi a.

²⁰And it came to pass in the morning, when the oblation was offered up, that behold, there came water by the way of Edom, and the country was filled with water.

²⁰Huan, jingsangin, thillat lat hun lai khawngin hichi ahi a, ngaiin, Edom gam lam akipanin tui a hong luang ek a, a gam tuiin a hong dimta hi.

²¹And all the Moabites heard that the kings were come up to fight against them, and they were called together, all that were able to put on armour, and upward, and stood by the border.

²¹Huan, Moabte tengteng in amaute sual dingin kumpipate a hongkuan tou uh chih ana jak un, galkap thei chiang tengteng ana ki kaikhawm ek ua, gamgi ah ana pang ta uh.

²²And they rose up early in the morning, and the sun rose upon the water, and the Moabites saw the water on the other side red as blood.

²²Huchiin, jing khangin a thou ua, niin tui a sun suka, huan, Moabte ajawn ua tui sisan bang mai a san gegut a mu hi.

²³And they said, This is blood: the kings are entirely destroyed, and have smitten one another; and now, Moab, to the spoil!

²³Sisan eive, kumpipate amau le amau a kidou ua, amau leh amau akithat uh ahi mahmah ve; kisa un Moabte aw, gallak sum iva tuh ding uh, a chi ua.

²⁴And when they came to the camp of Israel, the Israelites rose up and smote the Moabites, and they fled before them; and they entered in and smote Moab.

²⁴Huan, Israelte giahmun a va tun uleh, Israelte a hong thou phut mawk ua, Moabte a sual ua, huchiin ama uah a taikek jak ua; huan, Moabte that kawm jelin a gam uah a delh lut uhi.

²⁵And they beat down the cities, and on every good piece of land cast every man his stone and filled it, and they stopped every well of water, and felled every good tree, until they left [only] the stones at Kirhareseth; and the slingers went about it, and smote it.

²⁵Huan, khuate a hih sia ua; amun hoih tata teng uh mi chihin a deng ua, suangin a dim gawpta hi; huan, tuikhuk tengteng a hubing ua, sing hoih tengteng a phuk uh; Kir-hareseth khuaa om suangte kia ahia a khoih louh uh; huai leng vaisuanglotin a um kim vel ua, a sual uh.

²⁶And the king of Moab saw that the battle was too severe for him, and he took with him seven hundred men that drew swords, to break through to the king of Edom, but they could not.

²⁶Huan, Moab kumpipan a kidou uh zou zou dingin a kitheita keia, Edom kumpipa kianga tung dinga phut paisuak tumin namsau tawi mi sagih a pi khiaa, himahleh a kitheita kei uhi.Huchiin a tapa upa pen, a sika hong lal ding pa pen kulh dawnah halmang thillat dingin a zangta hi. Huan, Israelte a heh mahmah ua, a kisa ua, a gamlam uah a pai nawn uh.

²⁷And he took his eldest son, that should have reigned in his stead, and offered him up for a burnt-offering upon the wall. And there was great wrath against Israel; and they departed from him, and returned to [their own] land.

²⁷Huchiin a tapa upa pen, a sika hong lal ding pa pen kulh dawnah halmang thillat dingin a zangta hi. Huan, Israelte a heh mahmah ua, a kisa ua, a gamlam uah a pai nawn uh.
