¹And Elisha said, Hear the word of Jehovah. Thus saith Jehovah: To-morrow about this time shall the measure of fine flour be at a shekel, and two measures of barley at a shekel, in the gate of Samaria.

¹Huan, Elisain, Toupa thu na naja un; Toupan hichiin a chi: jingchiang hichih hun ding khawngin Samari kulh kongpi bulah tangbuang nel chih tehna khat sekel khatin a khawng ding ua, barli-buh tehna nih sekel khatin, chiin, a gen a.

²And the captain on whose hand the king leaned answered the man of God and said, Behold, if Jehovah should make windows in the heavens, would this thing be? And he said, Behold, thou shalt see it with thine eyes, but shalt not eat thereof.

²huan, sepaih heutu kumpipan a khut a hong ngaihpan Pathian mi a dawnga, Ngaiin, Toupan vanah tohlet hongsin veh e! Huchibang ahi thei mahmah ding hia? A chi a. Huan, aman, ngaiin, na mit in zaw na mu na ding a, nek a hihleh na ne sin kei hi, achi a.

³And there were four leprous men at the entrance of the gate, and they said one to another, Why do we abide here until we die?

³Huan, kulh lutna kongpi bulah phak li a om ua; amau, bang ding a sih ngak lel a tu nilouh ihi ua?

⁴If we say, Let us enter into the city, the famine is in the city, and we shall die there; and if we abide here, we shall die. And now come, let us fall away to the camp of the Syrians: if they save us alive, we shall live; and if they put us to death, we shall but die.

⁴Kho sungah lut mai ni, chi sin le hang, khosung a kial ua, I va si mai sin ngal ua; Huan, hiai ah tu nilouh sin le hang, I si thouthou sin ngal ua, huchiin kisa dih ua, Suria sepaihte kiang lamah iva lut peuhmah mai ding uh; a hon hoi uh leh I hing dia; a hon thah uh leh si ihi maike, chi in a kihou ua.

⁵And they rose up in the dusk to go to the camp of the Syrians; and they came to the extremity of the camp of the Syrians; and behold, there was no man there.

⁵Huchiin Suriate giah mun a hoh diingin khomui in a kuan ua; Huan, Suria giah mun tuah masak ava tun un, ngaiin, kuamah ana omkei ua.

⁶For the Lord had made the army of the Syrians to hear a noise of chariots, and a noise of horses, a noise of a great host; and they said one to another, Behold, the king of Israel has hired against us the kings of the Hittites, and the kings of the Egyptians, to come upon us.

⁶Toupan Suria sepaihte kangtalai husate, sakol husate sepaih tampi husate ana zasak a; huchiin, Ngai un, Israel kumpipan Hit kumpipate, Aigupta kumpipate ei hong sual singa guai eive, chiin a kihou ua.

⁷And they rose up and fled in the dusk, and left their tents, and their horses, and their asses, the camp as it was, and fled for their life.

⁷Huchiin a thou ua.. khomuiin a taikekta uh, a puan inte uh, a sakolte uh, a sabengtungte uh leh a giahmun a omngei ngeiin a taisan ua, a taikek gawpta uhi.

⁸And those lepers came to the extremity of the camp; and they went into one tent, and ate and drank, and carried thence silver and gold, and garments, and went and hid it; and they came again, and entered into another tent, and carried thence, and went and hid [it].

⁸Huan, huai mi phakte giahmun tuahmasak a vatun uleh puanin khatah a va lut ua, a ne un a dawn ua, huai a dangka sikte, dangkaengte, puansilhte a la ua, a vasel ua; huan, a nungkiik nawn ua, puanin dangah a lut nawn ua, huai a long a la ua, a vasel uh.

⁹And they said one to another, We are not doing right; this day is a day of good tidings, and we hold our peace: if we tarry till the morning light, the iniquity will find us out; and now come, let us go and tell the king's household.

⁹Adenchiangin, I hih dek hetkei; tuni tanchin kipahhuai tun ni ahi a, ei I dai dide ua; khovak I ngak leh zaw gawtna I tuak ding uh; huchiin kisa un, kumpipa inkote I vahilh ding ua, chiin a kihou ua.

¹⁰And they came and called to the porters of the city, and told them saying, We came to the camp of the Syrians, and behold, there was no one there, no sound of man, but the horses tied, and the asses tied, and the tents as they were.

¹⁰Huchiin kho kongkhak vengmi a va sam ua; Suriate giahmun ah ka va hoh ua, huan, ngaiin, kuamah ana omkei ua, mihing husa himhim leng a omkei, sakolte leh sabengtung kia a na kikhih a, puaninte leng a om ngeingeiin a om uhi, chiin a hilh ua.

¹¹And the porters cried [it] and told [it] to the king's house within.

¹¹Huan, kongkhak vengmite a sama; huan, amau kumpipa insunga mite a vahilh ua.

¹²And the king rose up in the night and said to his servants, Let me tell you what the Syrians have done to us. They know that we are hungry, and they have gone out of the camp to hide themselves in the field, saying, When they come out of the city, we shall catch them alive, and get into the city.

¹²Huan, kumpipa janin a thou a, a sikhate kiangah, Suriate honbawl dan ka hon hilh peuhmah ding. I gilkial dan uh athei ua; huaijiakin, Khopi akipan a hongpawt uleh a hingin I na man ding ua, kho sungah I lut ding ua, chiin gamlaka bu dingin a giahmun uh pawtkhiak san ihi uh, a chi a.

¹³And one of his servants answered and said, Let some one take, I pray thee, five of the horses that remain, which are left in the city (behold, they are as all the multitude of Israel that are left in it: behold, they are even as all the multitude of the Israelites that have perished), and let us send and see.

¹³Huan, a sikha khatin a dawnga, Khopi a sakol om sunte laka nga kuate hiam pi sak dih ve, (ngaiin, Israel mipite, a dam laite tengtengte Israel mipite si banga sehte bangmah ahi himhim uhi; ) huchiin a va sawl peumah ding uh, a chi a.

¹⁴And they took two chariots with their horses; and the king sent after the army of the Syrians, saying, Go and see.

¹⁴Huchiin kangtalai kaia zat sakol nih api ua; huan, kumpipan, Va en dih ua, chiin, Suria sepaihte delh dingin a sawla.

¹⁵And they went after them to the Jordan; and behold, all the way was full of garments and materials, which the Syrians had cast away in their haste. And the messengers returned and told the king.

¹⁵Huan, Jordan lui phain a va delh ua; huan, ngaiin, Suriaten a kin jiak ua a paih uh puansilhte leh vante lam tawnin a om jeljul a. Huan, a mi sawlte a hongkiik nawn ua, kumpipa a honghilh ua.

¹⁶And the people went out and plundered the camp of the Syrians; and the measure of fine flour was at a shekel, and two measures of barley at a shekel, according to the word of Jehovah.

¹⁶Huan, mipi a pawt khia ua, Suriate giahmun a valok ek uh. Huchiin Toupa thu bang ngeiin tangbuang nel te tehna khat sekel khatin a khawng ua, barlibuh tehna nih sekel khatin.

¹⁷And the king had appointed the captain on whose hand he leaned to have the charge of the gate; and the people trampled upon him in the gate, and he died, according to what the man of God had said, -- what he had said when the king came down to him.

¹⁷Huan, kumpipan sepaih heutu a khut a hong ngaihpa kulh kongpi vengpain a sep a; huan, mipiten a kulh kongpi bulah a chilta ua, Pathian miin a kianga kumpipa a hongpai suk laia a nagen bangin a sita hi.

¹⁸And it came to pass as the man of God had spoken to the king saying, Two measures of barley shall be at a shekel, and the measure of fine flour at a shekel, to-morrow about this time in the gate of Samaria.

¹⁸Hichi ahi a, Pathian miin kumpipa kianga, Jingchiang hichih hun ding khawngin Samari kulh kongpi bulah barlibuh tehna nih sekel khatin a khawng ding ua, tangbuang nelte tehna khat sekel khatin, a chiha,

¹⁹And the captain answered the man of God and said, Behold, if Jehovah should make windows in the heavens, would such a thing be? And he said, Behold, thou shalt see it with thine eyes, but shalt not eat thereof.

¹⁹Huan, sepaih houtuin Pathian mi a dawna, ngaiin, Toupan vanah tohlet a hong sin hi! Huchibang ahi thei mahmah dia hia? Chia, aman, Ngaiin, namitin jaw na mu ngei dinga, nek a hihleh na ne sin kei hi, chia a gen;Huchibang takin a tungah a hongtungta hi; mipiin kulh kongpi bulah a chil ua, a sita hi.

²⁰And so it happened to him; and the people trampled upon him in the gate, and he died.

²⁰Huchibang takin a tungah a hongtungta hi; mipiin kulh kongpi bulah a chil ua, a sita hi.
