¹It happened after these things, that Naboth the Jezreelite had a vineyard, which was in Jezreel, hard by the palace of Ahab king of Samaria.

¹Huan huai thil nungin hichi ahia, Jareel mi Nabothin grep huan a nei a, huai bel Jezreel ah Samari kumpipa Ahab in kiang chin a om ahi uh.

²Ahab spoke to Naboth, saying, “Give me your vineyard, that I may have it for a garden of herbs, because it is near to my house; and I will give you for it a better vineyard than it. Or, if it seems good to you, I will give you its worth in money.”

²Huan Ahabin Naboth bel ka in kiang chin ahihziakin an-teh louhing huan ding in na grephuan hon pia in, a sik ding in grephuan hoihzaw ka hon pe ding; ahih kei leh na deihzawk ngial le-houh a dangka in aman hun ka hon pe ding chi in a houpih a.

³Naboth said to Ahab, “May Yahweh forbid me, that I should give the inheritance of my fathers to you!”

³Huan Naboth in Ahab kiangah, ka pute gou nang ka hon piak ding a-lawm in aki lawm kei achi a.

⁴Ahab came into his house sullen and angry because of the word which Naboth the Jezreelite had spoken to him; for he had said, “I will not give you the inheritance of my fathers.” He laid himself down on his bed, and turned away his face, and would eat no bread.

⁴Huan Jezreel mi Nabothin huchibang thu a kianga a gen jiakin Ahab bel ngui leh lung hilou takin a in ah a lut a, ka pute gou ka hon pe theikei ding, achi bikbek ngal a. Huchi in a lupna ah a lum a, khat lam a nga a, an himhim a ne nuam ta kei hi.

⁵But Jezebel his wife came to him, and said to him, “Why is your spirit so sad, that you eat no bread?”

⁵Huchi in a ji Jezebel a va hoh a, a kiangah, "bang chi dan ahia na lungsim huchi taka a lungkhama, an himhim na neklouh? " a chi a.

⁶He said to her, “Because I spoke to Naboth the Jezreelite, and said to him, ‘Give me your vineyard for money; or else, if it pleases you, I will give you another vineyard for it.’ He answered, ‘I will not give you my vineyard.’”

⁶Huan aman a kiangah, "na grephuan hon leisak in, ahihkeileh na deih zawk leh a sik ding in grephuan dang ka honpe ding" kachi a; huan aman, "ka grephuan zaw ka hon pekei ding", chi in ahon dawng maimah a ahi, achi a.

⁷Jezebel his wife said to him, “Do you now govern the kingdom of Israel? Arise, and eat bread, and let your heart be merry. I will give you the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite.”

⁷Huan, a ji Jezebel in a kiangah, "Israel gam kumpipa na hi kei ahia? thou in la, an ne in la, lungsim nuamsa takin om ve, Jezreel mi Naboth grephuan ken ka hon pe ding" achi a.

⁸So she wrote letters in Ahab’s name, and sealed them with his seal, and sent the letters to the elders and to the nobles who were in his city, who lived with Naboth.

⁸Huchi in Ahab min in lai a gelh a, a sawn nain a sawn a, huan huai laia a omna khua a Naboth insak-inkhang upate leh mi hoihte kiangah a thon a.

⁹She wrote in the letters, saying, “Proclaim a fast, and set Naboth on high among the people.

⁹Huan, lai ah, an-ngawl thu na naphuang unla, mipi lak ah Naboth pen makai sak unla;

¹⁰Set two men, base fellows, before him, and let them testify against him, saying, ‘You cursed God and the king!’ Then carry him out, and stone him to death.”

¹⁰Mi nih Belial tate a maah tusak unla, Pathian leh kumpipa na gensia hi, chi a mi amah hek ding na bawl un. Huan, pikhia unla, ana deng lum un, achi a.

¹¹The men of his city, even the elders and the nobles who lived in his city, did as Jezebel had sent to them, according as it was written in the letters which she had sent to them.

¹¹Huan a om na khua a mi, a om na khua a upate leh mi hoihte'n Jezebelin akiang ua a khak lai a agelh bang in ana hih ua.

¹²They proclaimed a fast, and set Naboth on high among the people.

¹²An-ngawl thu a phuang ua, mipi lakah Naboth a makai sak uhi.

¹³The two men, the base fellows, came in and sat before him. The base fellows testified against him, even against Naboth, in the presence of the people, saying, “Naboth cursed God and the king!” Then they carried him out of the city, and stoned him to death with stones.

¹³Huan, mi nih Belial tate a ma ah a va tu ua; huan, Belial mite'n mipite ma ah, "Naboth in Pathian leh kumpipa a gensia" chi in amah a hek uhi. Huchi in khua a kipan a pi khia ua, suangin a deng ua, a si ta hi.

¹⁴Then they sent to Jezebel, saying, “Naboth has been stoned, and is dead.”

¹⁴Huchi in Jezebel kiangah, Naboth suangin a deng ua, a si ta, chi in mi a sawl uhi.

¹⁵It happened, when Jezebel heard that Naboth was stoned, and was dead, that Jezebel said to Ahab, “Arise, take possession of the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite, which he refused to give you for money; for Naboth is not alive, but dead.”

¹⁵Huan, Jezebelin Naboth suangin a deng ua, a si ta chih a jakin hichi ahi a, Jezebelin Ahab kiangah, "thou in la, Jezreel mi Naboth grephuan, a hon leisak phallouh nei ta oleh: Naboth a dam non takei, a si ta" achi a.

¹⁶It happened, when Ahab heard that Naboth was dead, that Ahab rose up to go down to the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite, to take possession of it.

¹⁶Huan, Ahabin Naboth a si ta chih a jakin hichi ahia a, Jezreel mi Naboth grephuan nei dinga kuan suk dingin Ahab a thou ta.

¹⁷The word of Yahweh came to Elijah the Tishbite, saying,

¹⁷Huan Toupa thu Tisbe mi Elija kiangah a hong tunga:

¹⁸“Arise, go down to meet Ahab king of Israel, who dwells in Samaria. Behold, he is in the vineyard of Naboth, where he has gone down to take possession of it.

¹⁸Thou inla, Samari khua a om Israel kumpipa houpih ding in hoh sukin: ngai in, Naboth grephuan ah a om a, neih tum in huai ah a hoh suk hi.

¹⁹You shall speak to him, saying, ‘Thus says Yahweh, “Have you killed and also taken possession?”’ You shall speak to him, saying, ‘Thus says Yahweh, “In the place where dogs licked the blood of Naboth, dogs will lick your blood, even yours.”’”

¹⁹A kiangah, TOUPA hichi in achi, "na that a, na neihsak behlap lai maw? " chi in, chi inla, a kiangah, TOUPA'N hichin achi, "ui in Naboth sisan a liah na mun mahmah uah nang sisan leng a liak sin uhi" chi in na chi ding, chi in.

²⁰Ahab said to Elijah, “Have you found me, my enemy?” He answered, “I have found you, because you have sold yourself to do that which is evil in the sight of Yahweh.

²⁰Huan Ahabin Elija kiangah, "Na hong mu ta maw, ka melma pa? " achi a. Huan, aman a dawnga, "hon mu ta kei ve, Toupa mitmuh a thil hoihlou hih dinga kizuak hive chin".

²¹Behold, I will bring evil on you, and will utterly sweep you away and will cut off from Ahab everyone who urinates against a wall, or, male and him who is shut up and him who is left at large in Israel.

²¹"Ngai in na tungah thil hoihlou ka hon tungsak dinga, ka hon hih mang ding, Ahab akipanin ta pasal taphot Israel gama mi etzui leh etzui louh leng ka hihmang dinga,

²²I will make your house like the house of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, and like the house of Baasha the son of Ahijah for the provocation with which you have provoked me to anger, and have made Israel to sin.”

²²Nang non hehsak jiakin leh Israelte thil na hih khelh sak jiakin Nebat tapa Jeroboam inkote leh Ahija tapa Baaz inkote bang mai in na inkote ka bawl ding" achi a.

²³Yahweh also spoke of Jezebel, saying, “The dogs shall eat Jezebel by the rampart of Jezreel.

²³Huan Jezebel tungtang thu leng Toupa'n a gen a, Jezebel kho-kulh chin-ah ui in Jezebel a ne ding uh;

²⁴The dogs will eat he who dies of Ahab in the city; and the birds of the sky will eat he who dies in the field.”

²⁴Ahab inkote laka mi khopi a si peuhmah te ui in a ne ding uh; gama misi peuhmahte tunga leng vasate'n a ne ding uh, chi in.

²⁵But there was none like Ahab, who sold himself to do that which was evil in the sight of Yahweh, whom Jezebel his wife stirred up.

²⁵(A ji Jezebel hasotna Toupa mitmuha thil hoihlou hih dinga kijuak, Ahab bang mahmah a om kei.

²⁶He did very abominably in following idols, according to all that the Amorites did, whom Yahweh cast out before the children of Israel.

²⁶Toupa'n Israel suante ma a adelhkhiak Amorte thilhih chi teng bang, milimte bia in thil kih huai takin ahih sek).

²⁷It happened, when Ahab heard those words, that he tore his clothes, and put sackcloth on his flesh, and fasted, and lay in sackcloth, and went softly.

²⁷Huan, Ahab in huai thu a jak in hichi ahi a, a puan abot kek a, sai-ip puan a silha, an a ngawl a, sai-ip puan ah a lum a, dawm takin a gamtangta.

²⁸The word of Yahweh came to Elijah the Tishbite, saying,

²⁸Huan, Toupa thu Tisbe mi Eliza kiangah a hong tunga, Ahab ka ma a aki niamkhiak dan na mu hia?Ka ma a aki niamkhiak jiakin a damsung in thil hoihlou ka tungsak kei dinga, a tapa damsung in bel a inkote tungah thil hoih lou ka tungsak ding, chi in.

²⁹“See how Ahab humbles himself before me? Because he humbles himself before me, I will not bring the evil in his days; but in his son’s days will I bring the evil on his house.”

²⁹Ka ma a aki niamkhiak jiakin a damsung in thil hoihlou ka tungsak kei dinga, a tapa damsung in bel a inkote tungah thil hoih lou ka tungsak ding, chi in.
