¹Elisha said, “Hear the word of Yahweh. Thus says Yahweh, ‘Tomorrow about this time a measure of fine flour will be sold for a shekel, and two measures of barley for 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.

²Then the captain on whose hand the king leaned answered the man of God, and said, “Behold, if Yahweh made windows in heaven, could this thing be?” He said, “Behold, you shall see it with your eyes, but shall not eat of it.”

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.

³Now there were four leprous men at the entrance of the gate. They said one to another, “Why do we sit 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, ‘We will enter into the city,’ then the famine is in the city, and we shall die there. If we sit still here, we also die. Now therefore come, and let us surrender to the army of the Syrians. If they save us alive, we will live; and if they kill us, we will only 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.

⁵They rose up in the twilight, to go to the camp of the Syrians. When they had come to the outermost part of the camp of the Syrians, 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 The word translated “Lord” is “Adonai.” had made the army of the Syrians to hear a noise of chariots, and a noise of horses, even the noise of a great army: 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 on 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.

⁷Therefore they arose and fled in the twilight, and left their tents, and their horses, and their donkeys, even 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.

⁸When these lepers came to the outermost part of the camp, they went into one tent, and ate and drink, and carried there silver, and gold, and clothing, and went and hid it. Then they came back, and entered into another tent, and carried there also, 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.

⁹Then they said one to another, “We aren’t doing right. This day is a day of good news, and we keep silent. If we wait until the morning light, punishment will overtake us. Now therefore 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.

¹⁰So they came and called to the porter of the city; and they told them, saying, “We came to the camp of the Syrians, and, behold, there was no man there, neither voice of man, but the horses tied, and the donkeys 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.

¹¹He called the porters; and they told it to the king’s household within.

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

¹²The king arose in the night, and said to his servants, “I will now show you what the Syrians have done to us. They know that we are hungry. Therefore are they gone out of the camp to hide themselves in the field, saying, ‘When they come out of the city, we shall take 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.

¹³One of his servants answered, “Please let some take five of the horses that remain, which are left in the city. Behold, they are like all the multitude of Israel who are left in it. Behold, they are like all the multitude of Israel who are consumed. 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.

¹⁴They took therefore two chariots with 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.

¹⁵They went after them to the Jordan; and behold, all the way was full of garments and vessels, which the Syrians had cast away in their haste. 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.

¹⁶The people went out, and plundered the camp of the Syrians. So a measure of fine flour was sold for a shekel, and two measures of barley for a shekel, according to the word of Yahweh.

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.

¹⁷The king appointed the captain on whose hand he leaned to be in charge of the gate: and the people trod on him in the gate, and he died as the man of God had said, who spoke 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.

¹⁸It happened, as the man of God had spoken to the king, saying, “Two measures of barley for a shekel, and a measure of fine flour for a shekel, shall be tomorrow 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 that captain answered the man of God, and said, “Now, behold, if Yahweh should make windows in heaven, might such a thing be?” and he said, “Behold, you shall see it with your eyes, but shall not eat of it.”

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.

²⁰It happened like that to him; for the people trod on him in the gate, and he died.

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