¹And the sons of the prophets said to Elisha, Behold now, the place where we dwell before thee is too strait for us.

¹Huan, jawlneite tapaten Elisa kiangah, Enin hiai, na kiang china ka tutkhawmna uh kou a dingin a kochik lua.

²Let us go, we pray thee, to the Jordan, and take thence every man a beam, and let us make us a place there, where we may dwell. And he said, Go.

²Jordan lui ah ka hoh suk ding ua, huaia sing kava la chiat ding ua, ka tutkhawm na ding uh huailaiah kava bawl ding uh aw? A chi ua. Huan, aman a dawnga, Kuan ve ua, a chi a.

³And one said, Consent, I pray thee, to go with thy servants. And he said, I will go.

³Huan, mi khatin, na sikhate kiangah hoh sam ve, a chi a. Huan, aman, Hoh sam leng, chiin a dawnga.

⁴And he went with them. And they came to the Jordan and cut down the trees.

⁴Huchiin a kiangah a hoh tei ta hi. Huan, Jordan lui a tung un sing a phuk ua.

⁵And it came to pass as one was felling a beam, that the iron fell into the water; and he cried and said, Alas, master, and it was borrowed!

⁵Huan, mi khatin a phuk san laiin, heitang tui ah a kiaa; huan, aman, Ehe heh, pu! I khelh eive aw, chiin a kikou a.

⁶And the man of God said, Where did it fall? And he shewed him the place. And he cut down a stick, and cast it in thither, and made the iron to swim.

⁶Huan, Pathian min in, Koilai ahia a kiakna a chi a. Huan, aman a kiakna lai a ensaka. Huchiin singtuai a sata, huailaiah a pailuta, sik a hongkilam ta hi.

⁷And he said, Take [it] up to thee. And he put out his hand and took it.

⁷Huan, aman, Tawm aw leh, a chi a. Huchiin a sawka, a tawmta.

⁸And the king of Syria warred against Israel; and he took counsel with his servants, saying, In such and such a place [shall be] my camp.

⁸Suria kumpipan Israelte a sima, Koi lailai hiam ah I tang ding uh, chiin a sikhate a donga.

⁹And the man of God sent to the king of Israel, saying, Beware that thou pass not such a place, for thither the Syrians are come down.

⁹Huan, pathian mi in Israel kumpipa kiangah, Huchibang muna hoh lou dingin pilvangin; huaiah Suriate a hongsuk sin uhi, chiin mi a sawl jela.

¹⁰And the king of Israel sent to the place which the man of God told him and warned him of, and he was on his guard there. [That took place] not once, nor twice.

¹⁰Huan, Israel kumpipan Pathian mipan a na hilhna sa mun tak mi a va enkhe sak jela; huaiah nihveikhatvei lel leng hilouin, a na kihumbit seka.

¹¹And the heart of the king of Syria was troubled because of this thing; and he called his servants, and said to them, Will ye not shew me which of us is for the king of Israel?

¹¹Huchiin huai thu-ah Suria kumpipa lung tang a mangbang mahmah maia; huan, a sikhate a sama, a kiang uah, I lak ua mi akua ahia Israel kumpipa lama pang non hilh nuam sin kei ua hia? A chi a.

¹²And one of his servants said, None, my lord, O king; but Elisha, the prophet that is in Israel, tells the king of Israel the words that thou speakest in thy bedchamber.

¹²Huan, a sikhate laka mi khatin, kuamah pang kei ve ung e, kumpipa ka pu aw, Israel gama om jawlnei Elisa in na dantan sunggila na gente Israel kumpipa a hilh jel sek ahi jaw hi, a chi a.

¹³And he said, Go and see where he is, and I will send and fetch him. And it was told him saying, Behold, he is in Dothan.

¹³Huan, aman, Ko om ahia va zong un, ka vaman sak ding, a chi a. Huan, ngaiin, Dothan khua ah a om hi, chiin a hilh ua.

¹⁴And he sent thither horses and chariots, and a great host, and they came by night and surrounded the city.

¹⁴Huchiin sakolte, kangtalaite, sepaih tampite huai laiah a sawla, janin a vahoh ua, khua a um kimvel uhi.

¹⁵And when the attendant of the man of God rose early and went forth, behold, an army surrounded the city, with horses and chariots. And his servant said to him, Alas, my master! how shall we do?

¹⁵Huan, Pathian mi sikha jing khangin a thou a, a vapawt khiak leh, ngaiin, sepaihten sakol toh kangtalai toh khua ana um suakta ua. Huan, a sikha in a kiangah, Ehe heh, pu! bang chi a hih ding I hia? A chi a

¹⁶And he said, Fear not, for they that are with us are more than they that are with them.

¹⁶Huan, aman, Lau dahin; amau lama pang sangin ei lama pang a tam jaw hi, a chi a.

¹⁷And Elisha prayed and said, Jehovah, I pray thee, open his eyes that he may see. And Jehovah opened the eyes of the young man, and he saw; and, behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire round about Elisha.

¹⁷Huan, Elisa a thum a, Toupa amuh theihna dingin a mit haksak ve, a chi a. Huan, Toupa huai tangval mit a haksaka; huchiin a mu sam ta; huan, ngaiin, Elisa kimvelah tang mei kangtalai leh sakolin a dim vekta maia.

¹⁸And they came down to him; and Elisha prayed to Jehovah and said, Smite this nation, I pray thee, with blindness. And he smote them with blindness according to the word of Elisha.

¹⁸Huan, amah lama a hongpai suk uhleh Elisa Toupa kiangah a thuma, Hiaite a mit uh tosakin, a chi a. Huan, Elisa thu bangin a mit uh a tosakta hi.

¹⁹And Elisha said to them, This is not the way, neither is this the city: follow me, and I will bring you to the man whom ye seek. And he led them to Samaria.

¹⁹Huan, Elisain a kiang uah, hiai lampi ahikei, hiai leng khua hi sam kei; kei honjui un, na mi zonpa uh kiang ah ka honpi ding, a chi a. Huchiin Samari khuaah a pita.

²⁰And it came to pass when they entered into Samaria, that Elisha said, Jehovah, open the eyes of these [men] that they may see. And Jehovah opened their eyes, and they saw, and behold, they were in the midst of Samaria.

²⁰Huan, Samari kho sung a tun un hichi ahi a, Elisain, TOUPA, hiaiten a muh theihna ding un a mit uh haksakin, a chi a. Huan, TOUPA a mit uh a haksaka, a muta uh; huan, ngaiin, Samari kho sungah a naomta mai uhi.

²¹And the king of Israel said to Elisha, when he saw them, My father, shall I smite? shall I smite [them]?

²¹Huan, Isarael kumpipan amaute a muhin Elisa kiangah, Pa, ka that diam? Ka that diam? A chi a.

²²And he said, Thou shalt not smite [them]: wouldest thou smite those whom thou hast taken captive with thy sword and with thy bow? Set bread and water before them, that they may eat and drink, and go to their master.

²²Huan, aman a dawnga, That lou ding; na namsau leh na thalpeua na salmatte na that sin ahia? Tanghou leh tui a ma uah lui inla, nein dawn uhenla, a pu uh kiangah pai nawn uhen, a chi a.

²³And he prepared a great repast for them, and they ate and drank; and he sent them away, and they went to their master. And the bands of Syria came no more into the land of Israel.

²³Huchiin nek ding thupi mahmah a bawl saka; huan, a nek ua a dawn khit un a paisak vek a, apu uh kianglamah a pai nawn uh. Huchiin Suria pawlte bel Israel gamah a hong nawnta kei uhi.

²⁴And it came to pass after this that Ben-Hadad king of Syria gathered all his army, and went up and besieged Samaria.

²⁴Huan, huai nungin hichi ahi a, Suria kumpipa Benhadadin a sepaihte tengteng a kaikhawma, Samari khua a va umta hi.

²⁵And there was a great famine in Samaria; and behold, they besieged it, until an ass's head was worth eighty silver-pieces, and the fourth part of a cab of dove's dung five silver-pieces.

²⁵Huan, Samari khuaah kial a na mahmaha, huan, ngaiin, a um bikbek ua, sabengtung lutang dangka sawmgiatin a khawng ua, huan, vakhu ek kab mun li-a khena mun khat dangka ngain a khawng hial uhi.

²⁶And it came to pass as the king of Israel was passing by upon the wall, there cried a woman to him saying, Help, my lord O king!

²⁶Huan, Israel kumpipa kulh dawna a pai laiin numei khatin, Aw kumpipa, ka pu, honhuhin, chiin a nasam a.

²⁷And he said, If Jehovah do not help thee, whence should I help thee? Out of the threshing-floor, or out of the winepress?

²⁷Huan, aman, TOUPA a honpanpih ngal keileh ken koia kipanin ahia ka honpanpih peuhmah ding? Phualjang akipanin hiam, grep sukna khuk akipanin hiam ahi dia hia?

²⁸And the king said to her, What aileth thee? And she said, This woman said to me, Give thy son, that we may eat him to-day, and we will eat my son to-morrow.

²⁸Huan, kumpipan a kiangah, Bang na chia ahia awi? a chi nawna. Huan, aman a dawnga, Hiai numeiin ka kiangah, Tuniin na tapa I nek ding un thoh ve, jingchiangin kei tapa I ne leuleu nakei dia, achi a.

²⁹And we boiled my son, and ate him: and I said to her on the next day, Give thy son, that we may eat him; and she has hidden her son.

²⁹Huchiin ka tapa ka huan ua, ka ne ua; huan, a jingin ken a kiangah, Na tapa I nek dingin thoh tei ve leh, ka chi a, a tapa a selgu mai maha ahi, achi a.

³⁰And it came to pass when the king heard the words of the woman, that he rent his garments; and he was passing by upon the wall, and the people looked, and behold, he had sackcloth within upon his flesh.

³⁰Huan, kumpipan numei thugen a jakin hichi ahi a, a puan a botkeka (kulh dawna a pai lai ahi a); huan, mipiten a et uleh, ngaiin a sa tungah saiip puan a nasilh nilouh hi.

³¹And he said, God do so, and more also to me, if the head of Elisha the son of Shaphat shall remain on him this day!

³¹Huchiin aman, Tunia Saphat tapa Elisain a lutang a puak lai peuhmah leh Pathianin a lohlohin hon loh mai heh, huai sanga leng thupiin, a chi a.

³²And Elisha sat in his house, and the elders sat with him. And [the king] sent a man before him. Before the messenger came to him, he himself said to the elders, Do ye see how this son of a murderer has sent to take away my head? See, when the messenger comes; shut the door, and keep him off with the door: is not the sound of his master's feet behind him?

³²Huan, Elisa a in ah a tu a, upate leng a tu sam ua; huan, kumpipan a kianga mi khat a sawla, himahleh a mi sawl a kiang a tun main upate kiangah, Hiai tualthattpa tapain ka lu la dingin mi a honsawl chih na thei na uhia? Paukei dih uh, a mi sawl a hongtun takin, kong na khak unla, kongkhakin na nadal ngiungeu un; a nunglamah a pu kalsuan ging a kiza lah a banga? A chi a.Huan, hichi-a amau a houpih san laiin ngaiin, a mi sawl a hongtung suka; huan, kumpipan, Ngaiin, hiai thil hoih lou TOUPA honsawl ahi; TOUPA bangdingin ka hungaih lailai dia? achi a.

³³And while he yet talked with them, behold, the messenger came down to him. And [the king] said, Behold, this evil is of Jehovah: why should I wait for Jehovah any longer?

³³Huan, hichi-a amau a houpih san laiin ngaiin, a mi sawl a hongtung suka; huan, kumpipan, Ngaiin, hiai thil hoih lou TOUPA honsawl ahi; TOUPA bangdingin ka hungaih lailai dia? achi a.
