1The sons of the prophets said to Elisha, “See now, the place where we dwell before you is too small for us.
1Huan, jawlneite tapaten Elisa kiangah, Enin hiai, na kiang china ka tutkhawmna uh kou a dingin a kochik lua.
2Please let us go to the Jordan, and every man take a beam from there, and let us make us a place there, where we may dwell.” He answered, “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.
3One said, “Please be pleased to go with your servants.” He answered, “I will go.”
3Huan, mi khatin, na sikhate kiangah hoh sam ve, a chi a. Huan, aman, Hoh sam leng, chiin a dawnga.
4So he went with them. When they came to the Jordan, they cut down wood.
4Huchiin a kiangah a hoh tei ta hi. Huan, Jordan lui a tung un sing a phuk ua.
5But as one was felling a beam, the axe head fell into the water. Then he cried, and said, “Alas, my master! For 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.
6The man of God asked, “Where did it fall?” He showed him the place. He cut down a stick, threw it in there, and made the iron float.
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.
7He said, “Take it.” So he put out his hand and took it.
7Huan, aman, Tawm aw leh, a chi a. Huchiin a sawka, a tawmta.
8Now the king of Syria was warring against Israel; and he took counsel with his servants, saying, “My camp will be in such and such a place.”
8Suria kumpipan Israelte a sima, Koi lailai hiam ah I tang ding uh, chiin a sikhate a donga.
9The man of God sent to the king of Israel, saying, “Beware that you not pass such a place; for the Syrians are coming down there.”
9Huan, pathian mi in Israel kumpipa kiangah, Huchibang muna hoh lou dingin pilvangin; huaiah Suriate a hongsuk sin uhi, chiin mi a sawl jela.
10The king of Israel sent to the place which the man of God told him and warned him of; and he saved himself there, 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.
11The heart of the king of Syria was very troubled about this. He called his servants, and said to them, “Won’t you show 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.
12One of his servants said, “No, my lord, O king; but Elisha, the prophet who is in Israel, tells the king of Israel the words that you speak in your bedroom.”
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.
13He said, “Go and see where he is, that I may send and get him.” 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.
14Therefore he sent horses, chariots, and a great army there. 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.
15When the servant of the man of God had risen early, and gone out, behold, an army with horses and chariots was around the city. His servant said to him, “Alas, my master! What 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
16He answered, “Don’t be afraid; for those who are with us are more than those who are with them.”
16Huan, aman, Lau dahin; amau lama pang sangin ei lama pang a tam jaw hi, a chi a.
17Elisha prayed, and said, “Yahweh, please open his eyes, that he may see.” Yahweh opened the eyes of the young man; and he saw: and behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire around 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.
18When they came down to him, Elisha prayed to Yahweh, and said, “Please strike this people with blindness.” He struck 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.
19Elisha said to them, “This is not the way, neither is this the city. Follow me, and I will bring you to the man whom you seek.” 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.
20It happened, when they had come into Samaria, that Elisha said, “Yahweh, open the eyes of these men, that they may see.” Yahweh 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.
21The king of Israel said to Elisha, when he saw them, “My father, shall I strike them? Shall I strike them?”
21Huan, Isarael kumpipan amaute a muhin Elisa kiangah, Pa, ka that diam? Ka that diam? A chi a.
22He answered, “You shall not strike them. Would you strike those whom you have taken captive with your sword and with your 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.
23He prepared great feast for them. When they had eaten and drunk, he sent them away, and they went to their master. The bands of Syria stopped raiding 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.
24It happened after this, that Benhadad 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.
25There was a great famine in Samaria. Behold, they besieged it, until a donkey’s head was sold for eighty pieces of silver, and the fourth part of a kab of dove’s dung for five pieces of silver.
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.
26As the king of Israel was passing by on the wall, a woman cried 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.
27He said, “If Yahweh doesn’t help you, from where could I help you? From of the threshing floor, or from 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?
28The king said to her, “What ails you?” She answered, “This woman said to me, ‘Give your son, that we may eat him today, and we will eat my son tomorrow.’
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.
29So we boiled my son, and ate him: and I said to her on the next day, ‘Give your 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.
30It happened, when the king heard the words of the woman, that he tore his clothes (now he was passing by on the wall); and the people looked, and behold, he had sackcloth underneath on 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.
31Then he said, “God do so to me, and more also, if the head of Elisha the son of Shaphat shall stay 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.
32But Elisha was sitting in his house, and the elders were sitting with him. Then the king sent a man from before him; but before the messenger came to him, he said to the elders, “Do you see how this son of a murderer has sent to take away my head? Behold, when the messenger comes, shut the door, and hold the door shut against him. Isn’t 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.
33While he was still talking with them, behold, the messenger came down to him. Then he said, “Behold, this evil is from Yahweh. Why should I wait for Yahweh 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.
