¹Huan, Suria kumpipa Benhadad in a sepaih te tengteng a kaikhawm veka: kumpipa sawmthum leh nih a tel ua, sakol leh kangtalai te toh a kuan tou a, Samari khua ava um a, a suala.

¹And Benhadad the king of Syria gathered all his host together: and there were thirty and two kings with him, and horses, and chariots; and he went up and besieged Samaria, and warred against it.

²Israel kumpipa Ahab kiangah khopi sungah mi a sawla, a kiangah, Benhadadin hichiin a chi,

²And he sent messengers to Ahab king of Israel into the city, and said unto him, Thus saith Benhadad,

³Na dangka leh na dangkaengte keia ahi; na jite leh na tate, a hoihhoihte tanin keia ahi, chiin a chi a.

³Thy silver and thy gold is mine; thy wives also and thy children, even the goodliest, are mine.

⁴Huan, Israel kumpipan ana dawnga, Ka pu, kumpipa aw, na gen bang himah ve aw; lei leh kaneih tengteng nanga ahi, a chi a.

⁴And the king of Israel answered and said, My lord, O king, according to thy saying, I am thine, and all that I have.

⁵Huan, ami sawlte apai nawn ua, Benhadadin hichiin a chi, na kiangah, na dangka te, na dangkaengte, na jite, na tate na honpiak ding ahi, chiin mi a honsawl ngeia;

⁵And the messengers came again, and said, Thus speaketh Benhadad, saying, Although I have sent unto thee, saying, Thou shalt deliver me thy silver, and thy gold, and thy wives, and thy children;

⁶Himahleh jingchiangin hichih hun ding khawngin ka mite na kiangah ka honsawl dinga, na in leh na mite in a honmai ding ua; huan, hichi ahi dinga, na mit lala a la ding ua, a honpaipih vek ding uh, chiin, a chi ua.

⁶Yet I will send my servants unto thee to morrow about this time, and they shall search thine house, and the houses of thy servants; and it shall be, that whatsoever is pleasant in thine eyes, they shall put it in their hand, and take it away.

⁷Huchiin Israel kumpipan a gama upate tengteng a sama, na nathei un, hiai miin thil hoihlou tak hih a tupdan; ka kiangah mi a honsawla, ka jite, ka tate, ka dangkate, ka dangkaengte a hongngena, nana nial leng lah ahi ngal keia, a chi a.

⁷Then the king of Israel called all the elders of the land, and said, Mark, I pray you, and see how this man seeketh mischief: for he sent unto me for my wives, and for my children, and for my silver, and for my gold; and I denied him not.

⁸Huan, upate tengteng leh mipi tengtengin a kiangah, na nalimsak nuam dah in, pha leng sa sam ken, a chi ua.

⁸And all the elders and all the people said unto him, Hearken not unto him, nor consent.

⁹Huchiin Benhadad mi sawlte kiangah, kumpipa ka pu kiangah, na sikhakianga mi sawla nahongnget masak tengteng bangin ka hih dinga; himahleh hiai jaw ka hih theikei ding, a chi hi, chi un, a chi a. Huchiin a misawlte a pai nawnta ua, huai thu a vatun nawn uh.

⁹Wherefore he said unto the messengers of Benhadad, Tell my lord the king, All that thou didst send for to thy servant at the first I will do: but this thing I may not do. And the messengers departed, and brought him word again.

¹⁰HUan, Benhadadin a kiangah mi asawl nawna, ka nungjuite tengtengin Samari kho leivui pham khat chiat leng a muh theih ding ua leh pathianten a lohloh honloh uhen, huai sanga thupi jawin leng, a chi a.

¹⁰And Benhadad sent unto him, and said, The gods do so unto me, and more also, if the dust of Samaria shall suffice for handfuls for all the people that follow me.

¹¹Huan, Israel kumpipan a dawnga, mi a kigalvan lai takin, a kigalthuamna suah khesa bang takin a kiuangsak ngei kei uh, chiin vahilh dih ua, a chi a.

¹¹And the king of Israel answered and said, Tell him, Let not him that girdeth on his harness boast himself as he that putteth it off.

¹²Huan, hichi ahi a, amah leh kumpipaten buktaa ju a nadawn khawm lai un huai thu Benhadadin a naja, a mite kiangah, kisa dih ua, a chi a, Huchiin khua sual dingin a kisata uh.

¹²And it came to pass, when Ben-hadad heard this message, as he was drinking, he and the kings in the pavilions, that he said unto his servants, Set yourselves in array. And they set themselves in array against the city.

¹³Huan, ngaiin, jawlnei khatin Israel kumpipa Ahab a vanaiha, TOUPAN hichiin a chi: hiai mipi tampite na mu hia? Ngaiin, tuiin na khutah ka honpe ding ahi; huchiin kei Toupa ka hi chih na thei ding uh, chiin, a chi a.

¹³And, behold, there came a prophet unto Ahab king of Israel, saying, Thus saith the LORD, Hast thou seen all this great multitude? behold, I will deliver it into thine hand this day; and thou shalt know that I am the LORD.

¹⁴Huan, Ahabin, kua zangin eita? A chi a. Huan, aman, TOUPAN hichiin a chi, gam khentea heutute tangvalte zangin, chiin, a chi a. Huchiin aman, kuan galkap vai a hawm dia? a chi a. Huan, aman a dawng a, nang, a chi a.

¹⁴And Ahab said, By whom? And he said, Thus saith the LORD, Even by the young men of the princes of the provinces. Then he said, Who shall order the battle? And he answered, Thou.

¹⁵Huchiin aman gam khentea heutute tangvalte a kaikhawma, za nih leh sawmthum leh nih ahi ua; huan, huai mite nungin mi tengteng, Israel suante tengteng a kaikhawma, sang sagih ahi uh.

¹⁵Then he numbered the young men of the princes of the provinces, and they were two hundred and thirty two: and after them he numbered all the people, even all the children of Israel, being seven thousand.

¹⁶Huan, sun lai takin a vapawt ua, Benhadad leh kumpipate, amah panpihpa kumpipa sawmthum leh nihte bel huai bukta ah a na dawn kham ua,

¹⁶And they went out at noon. But Benhadad was drinking himself drunk in the pavilions, he and the kings, the thirty and two kings that helped him.

¹⁷Huan, gam khentea heutute tangvalte a vapawt masa ua; huan, Benhadadin mi a sawla, amau, Samari khua akipana hongpawt a om uh, chiin a hilh a.

¹⁷And the young men of the princes of the provinces went out first; and Benhadad sent out, and they told him, saying, There are men come out of Samaria.

¹⁸Huan, aman, kilep tuma hong a hih uleh a hingin man unla, kidou tuma hong a hih uleh ahing mahin man un, a chi a.

¹⁸And he said, Whether they be come out for peace, take them alive; or whether they be come out for war, take them alive.

¹⁹Huchiin huaite, gam khentea heutute tangvalte leh a honjui sepaihte khuaa kipanin apawt uh.

¹⁹So these young men of the princes of the provinces came out of the city, and the army which followed them.

²⁰Huan, a bitum chiat uh a vathat ua; huchiin Suriate a taikekta ua, Israelten a delh uh; huan, Suria kumpipa Benhadad sakol tunga tuangin sakol tungtuang mite toh a tai kheta hi.

²⁰And they slew every one his man: and the Syrians fled; and Israel pursued them: and Benhadad the king of Syria escaped on an horse with the horsemen.

²¹Huan, Israel kumpipa a vapawt khiaa, sakol leh kangtalaite a vasuala, Suriate tampi a that hi.

²¹And the king of Israel went out, and smote the horses and chariots, and slew the Syrians with a great slaughter.

²²Huan, jawlneiin Israel kumpipa a vanaiha, a kiangah, kihat sak zok inla, na hihdan ding ngaihtuahin kum hong mang leh Suria kumpipan hong sual nawn sin ahi, a chi a.

²²And the prophet came to the king of Israel, and said unto him, Go, strengthen thyself, and mark, and see what thou doest: for at the return of the year the king of Syria will come up against thee.

²³Huan, Suria kumpipaten a kiangah, a pathiante uh tangte pathiante ahi uh; huaijiakin ei sanga hatjaw ei ve ua: phaijangah sualta le hang, amau sangin I hatzo ngeingei ding.

²³And the servants of the king of Syria said unto him, Their gods are gods of the hills; therefore they were stronger than we; but let us fight against them in the plain, and surely we shall be stronger than they.

²⁴Huan, hichi bangin hihin: kumpipate a vek un kheng vek le chin, a sik un gam ukmite koih lechin;

²⁴And do this thing, Take the kings away, every man out of his place, and put captains in their rooms:

²⁵Huan, sepaihte sakol leh kangtalaite, na mansuahsa zah geih sepaihpawl dingkhe thak sak nawnin; huchiin phaijangah I sual ding ua, amau sangin I hatjaw na ding hi, a chi ua. Huan, a thu uh a ngai a, huchibangin a hihta hi.

²⁵And number thee an army, like the army that thou hast lost, horse for horse, and chariot for chariot: and we will fight against them in the plain, and surely we shall be stronger than they. And he hearkened unto their voice, and did so.

²⁶Huan, a kum nawnin hichi ahia, Benhadadin Suriate a kaikhawma, Israelte sual dingin Aphek khuaah a hoh tou hi.

²⁶And it came to pass at the return of the year, that Benhadad numbered the Syrians, and went up to Aphek, to fight against Israel.

²⁷Huan, Israel suante a kikhawm ua, nek ding khawng a sek masasa ua, sual dingin a kisata uh; huan, Israel suanten kelnou tawmchik chik hon nih bang lelin a vanang ua; Suriate bel a gam dimin a pumdim uhi.

²⁷And the children of Israel were numbered, and were all present, and went against them: and the children of Israel pitched before them like two little flocks of kids; but the Syrians filled the country.

²⁸Huan, Pathian miin Israel kumpipa a vanaiha, a vahoupiha, a kiangah, Toupan hichiin a chi: Suriaten, Toupa tangte Pathian ahi a, guam Pathian jaw ahi kei, a chi ua; huaijiakin hiai mipi tampite na khutah ka honpe sin hi, huchiin kei Toupa ka hih na thei ding, chiin, a chi a.

²⁸And there came a man of God, and spake unto the king of Israel, and said, Thus saith the LORD, Because the Syrians have said, The LORD is God of the hills, but he is not God of the valleys, therefore will I deliver all this great multitude into thine hand, and ye shall know that I am the LORD.

²⁹Huan, ni sagih sung tak a kinang tuah nilouh ua, Huan, hichi ahi a, a ni sagih niin a kisual ta ua; huan, Israel suanten Suria mite ni khatin sepaih nuai khat a that ua.

²⁹And they pitched one over against the other seven days. And so it was, that in the seventh day the battle was joined: and the children of Israel slew of the Syrians an hundred thousand footmen in one day.

³⁰Mi dangte bel Aphek ah, khopi sungah a tai lut ua, omlaite mi sing nih leh sang sagih kulh chimin a chip khumta. Huan, Benhadad a taia, khopi sungah dantan sunggilah a lut hi.

³⁰But the rest fled to Aphek, into the city; and there a wall fell upon twenty and seven thousand of the men that were left. And Benhadad fled, and came into the city, into an inner chamber.

³¹Huan, a lawiten a kiangah, ngaiin, Israel inko laka kumpipate mi hehpih tak kumpipa ahi uh chih thu ka ja ua: saiip puan tengin, ka lu ua khaua kikhihin Israel kumpipa kiangah honvahoh sakin; aman a hon hawi nuam khamoh kei ding, a chi ua.

³¹And his servants said unto him, Behold now, we have heard that the kings of the house of Israel are merciful kings: let us, I pray thee, put sackcloth on our loins, and ropes upon our heads, and go out to the king of Israel: peradventure he will save thy life.

³²Huchiin saiip puan atengua, a lu uah khauin a kikhih ua, Israel kumpipa kiangah a vahoh ua, na sikha Bebhadadin, hehpihtakin honhawi heh, a chi hi, a chi ua, aman, dam lai ahi maw? Ka unaupa a ka, a chi a.

³²So they girded sackcloth on their loins, and put ropes on their heads, and came to the king of Israel, and said, Thy servant Benhadad saith, I pray thee, let me live. And he said, Is he yet alive? he is my brother.

³³Huai miten lung nuam takin, a lungsim thu tak a gen ahi ding chih umin, na unaupa Benhadad hi mah, a chi pah ua. Huchiin aman, va hoh unla, honpi un, a chi a. Huchiin Benhadad a hongpawt khiaa, a kiangah a hoha; huan, aman kangtalai ah a natuang saka.

³³Now the men did diligently observe whether any thing would come from him, and did hastily catch it: and they said, Thy brother Benhadad. Then he said, Go ye, bring him. Then Benhadad came forth to him; and he caused him to come up into the chariot.

³⁴Huan, Benhadadin a kiangah, ka pan na pa akipana khua a nalak te ka honpe nawn ding: huan, ka pan Samari khuaa dawlpi mun a bawl bangin Damaska khua ah na dawlpi mun ding na bawl sam ding hi, a chi a. Huan, huchibanga thu kikhungin ka hon paisak ding hi, a chi a. Huchiin a kiangah thu a khunga, a paisakta hi.

³⁴And Ben-hadad said unto him, The cities, which my father took from thy father, I will restore; and thou shalt make streets for thee in Damascus, as my father made in Samaria. Then said Ahab, I will send thee away with this covenant. So he made a covenant with him, and sent him away.

³⁵Huan, jawlnei tapate laka mi khatin Toupa thuin a lawmpa kiangah, hon khen in, a chi a. Huan, huai miin a khen nuam kei.

³⁵And a certain man of the sons of the prophets said unto his neighbor in the word of the LORD, Smite me, I pray thee. And the man refused to smite him.

³⁶Huchiin a kiangah, Toupa thu na man louh jiakin, ngaiin, mual na honkhup san takin, humpinelkaiin a honnakei ding, a chi a. Huan, a mualkhup takin humpinelkaiin a na mua, a kei a.

³⁶Then said he unto him, Because thou hast not obeyed the voice of the LORD, behold, as soon as thou art departed from me, a lion shall slay thee. And as soon as he was departed from him, a lion found him, and slew him.

³⁷Huchiin mi dang a vamu nawna, hon khen in, a chi a. Huai, miin a khena, a khenliamta hi.

³⁷Then he found another man, and said, Smite me, I pray thee. And the man smote him, so that in smiting he wounded him.

³⁸Huchiin jawlnei apaia, lampi ah kumpipa a natanga, a talgaknaa a mitkhuhin a kibawl lamdanga.

³⁸So the prophet departed, and waited for the king by the way, and disguised himself with ashes upon his face.

³⁹Huan, kumpipa a hongtunin kumpipa a nasama, kei na sikha kidoua pipen ah ka vahoha; huan, ngaiin, mi khat a hongkilehheia, ka kiangah mi khat a honpia, hiai mi na vengin, a tai mang leh a hinna sikin na hinna na tan dinga, ahihkeileh dangka talent khat na pe ding ahi, a chi a.

³⁹And as the king passed by, he cried unto the king: and he said, Thy servant went out into the midst of the battle; and, behold, a man turned aside, and brought a man unto me, and said, Keep this man: if by any means he be missing, then shall thy life be for his life, or else thou shalt pay a talent of silver.

⁴⁰Huan, kei na sikha ka pumbuai jiakin a napaimangta hi, a chi a. Huan, Israel kumpipain a kiangah, huchibang geih ahi, natunga thupuk; nang mahmah in hihpuk khin neive maw, achia.

⁴⁰And as thy servant was busy here and there, he was gone. And the king of Israel said unto him, So shall thy judgment be; thyself hast decided it.

⁴¹Huan, aman a mit akipan tal gakna a lem zok a; huan, Israel kumpipan jawlnei te laka mi ahi chih a theita hi.

⁴¹And he hasted, and took the ashes away from his face; and the king of Israel discerned him that he was of the prophets.

⁴²Huan, aman a kiangah, Toupan hichiin achi: ka mi hamsiat sa na khah jiak in a hinna sikin na hinna, a mite sikin na mite na tan ding, chiin, achia.Huan, Israel kumpipa bel nguitak leh lung kimlou tak in a pai a, Samari khua ah a hoh ta hi.

⁴²And he said unto him, Thus saith the LORD, Because thou hast let go out of thy hand a man whom I appointed to utter destruction, therefore thy life shall go for his life, and thy people for his people.

⁴³Huan, Israel kumpipa bel nguitak leh lung kimlou tak in a pai a, Samari khua ah a hoh ta hi.

⁴³And the king of Israel went to his house heavy and displeased, and came to Samaria.
