1In the eighteenth year of Jehoshaphat’s reign over Judah, Jehoram son of Ahab became king of Israel, and he reigned in Samaria twelve years.
1Judah siangpahrang Jehosaphat siangpahrang ah ohhaih saning hatlaitazetto naah, Ahab capa Jehoram loe Samaria ah Israel siangpahrang ah oh. Anih mah Samaria to saning hatlaihnetto uk.
2And he did evil in the sight of the LORD, but not as his father and mother had done. He removed the sacred pillar of Baal that his father had made.
2Anih loe Angraeng mikhnukah kahoih ai hmuen to sak; anih loe ampa hoi amno mah sak ih kasae hmuen to sah ai; anih loe ampa mah sak ih Baal krang to phraek king.
3Nevertheless, he clung to the sins that Jeroboam son of Nebat had caused Israel to commit; he did not turn away from them.
3Toe Israel kaminawk zaehaih sahsak, Nebat capa Jeroboam mah sak ih zaehaih to caehtaak ai ah, a sak toeng.
4Now Mesha king of Moab was a sheep breeder, and he would render to the king of Israel a hundred thousand lambs and the wool of a hundred thousand rams.
4Moab siangpahrang Mesha loe tuu pacah kami ah oh, anih mah Israel siangpahrang hanah tuucaa sang cumvaito, tuumui hoi tuutae sang cumvaito paek poe han oh.
5But after the death of Ahab, the king of Moab rebelled against the king of Israel.
5Toe Ahab duek pacoengah loe, Moab siangpahrang mah Israel siangpahrang to misa angthawk thuih.
6So at that time King Jehoram set out from Samaria and mobilized all Israel.
6To nathuem ah Jehoram siangpahrang loe Samaria hoiah caeh moe, Israel kaminawk to kroek.
7And he sent a message to Jehoshaphat king of Judah: “The king of Moab has rebelled against me. Will you go with me to fight against Moab?” “I will go,” replied Jehoshaphat. “I am like you, my people are your people, and my horses are your horses.”
7Judah siangpahrang Jehosaphat khaeah kami to patoeh moe, Moab siangpahrang mah kai misa angthawk thuih boeh; Moab tuk hanah nang bomh han maw? tiah a naa. Anih mah, Kang bomh han, Kai doeh nang baktiah ka oh moe, kai ih kaminawk doeh nang ih kami, kai ih hrangnawk doeh, nang ih hrang baktiah ni oh, tiah a naa.
8Then he asked, “Which way shall we go up?” “By way of the Desert of Edom,” replied Joram.
8Anih mah, na bang ih loklam hoiah maw a caeh o tahang han? tiah a naa. Jehoram mah Edom praezaek bang hoiah caeh si, tiah a naa.
9So the king of Israel, the king of Judah, and the king of Edom set out, and after they had traveled a roundabout route for seven days, they had no water for their army or for their animals.
9To pongah Israel siangpahrang, Judah siangpahrang hoi Edom siangpahrangnawk loe nawnto caeh o; ni sarihto caeh o pacoeng loe, misatuh kaminawk hoi a hoih o ih moinawk naek hanah tui to tawn o ai boeh.
10“Alas,” said the king of Israel, “for the LORD has summoned these three kings to deliver them into the hand of Moab!”
10To naah Israel siangpahrang mah, Alas! Angraeng mah hae siangpahrang thumtonawk hae, Moab kaminawk ban ah paek boeh mue! tiah thuih.
11But Jehoshaphat asked, “Is there no prophet of the LORD here? Let us inquire of the LORD through him.” And one of the servants of the king of Israel answered, “Elisha son of Shaphat is here. He used to pour water on the hands of Elijah.”
11Toe Jehosaphat mah, Angraeng khaeah lokdueng hanah, hae ah Angraeng ih tahmaa maeto doeh om ai maw? tiah a naa. To naah Israel siangpahrang ih tamna maeto mah, Elijah ban amsaeh han tui bawhkung, Shaphat capa Elisha hae ah oh, tiah a naa.
12Jehoshaphat affirmed, “The word of the LORD is with him.” So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat and the king of Edom went down to him.
12Jehosaphat mah, Angraeng ih lok loe anih khaeah oh, tiah thuih pae. To pongah Israel siangpahrang, Jehosaphat hoi Edom siangpahrang to anih khaeah caeh o tathuk.
13Elisha, however, said to the king of Israel, “What have we to do with each other? Go to the prophets of your father and of your mother!” “No,” replied the king of Israel, “for it is the LORD who has summoned these three kings to deliver them into the hand of Moab.”
13Elisha mah Israel siangpahrang khaeah, Nang hoi timaw asaenghaih oh, nampa ih tahmaa hoi namno ih tahmaanawk khaeah caeh khae, tiah a naa. Israel siangpahrang mah, To tih na ai ni, hae siangpahrang thumtonawk loe Moab kaminawk ban ah paek hanah Angraeng mah nawnto pakhueng boeh, tiah a naa.
14Then Elisha said, “As surely as the LORD of Hosts lives, before whom I stand, were it not for my regard for the presence of Jehoshaphat king of Judah, I would not look at you or acknowledge you.
14Elisha mah, Tok ka sak pae ih, Misatuh Angraeng loe hing pongah, Judah siangpahrang Jehosaphat ih mikhmai ka khen ai nahaeloe, nang hae hnuk hanah ka koeh ai, khet mataeng doeh kang khen mak ai.
15But now, bring me a harpist.” And while the harpist played, the hand of the LORD came upon Elisha
15Toe katoeng kruek kop kami maeto angzo o haih ah, tiah a naa. Katoeng kruek kop kami mah katoeng to kruek naah, Elisha nuiah Angraeng ih ban to oh.
16and he said, “This is what the LORD says: ‘Dig this valley full of ditches.’
16Angraeng mah, Hae vacong hae tui ka koisak han, tiah thuih.
17For the LORD says, ‘You will not see wind or rain, but the valley will be filled with water, and you will drink—you and your cattle and your animals.’
17Angraeng mah, Takhi hoi khotui to na hnu o mak ai; toe to ih vacongnawk loe tui hoiah koi o boih tih; nangmah hoi nangmah ih moinawk mah naek o pacoengah, kalah taw ih moinawk boih mah doeh nae o tih, tiah thuih.
18This is a simple matter in the sight of the LORD, and He will also deliver the Moabites into your hand.
18Hae hmuen loe Angraeng mikhnukah zoidaek hmuen ah ni oh; Moab kaminawk doeh nangcae ban ah na paek tih.
19And you shall attack every fortified city and every city of importance. You shall cut down every good tree, stop up every spring, and ruin every good field with stones.”
19Sipae hoi thungh ih vangpuinawk hoi kahoih koek vangpuinawk to phrae o boih ah; kahoih thingnawk to pakhruh o boih ah loe, tuikhawnawk to taet o boih ah; kahoih longnawk doeh thlung hoiah aphum oh loe, paro o boih ah, tiah a naa.
20The next morning, at the time of the morning sacrifice, water suddenly flowed from the direction of Edom and filled the land.
20Khawnbang cang hoi angbawnhaih atue phak naah loe, khenah, Edom bang hoiah tui to long, prae loe tui hoiah koi.
21Now all the Moabites had heard that the kings had come up to fight against them. So all who could bear arms, young and old, were summoned and stationed at the border.
21Moab kaminawk boih mah nihcae tuk hanah siangpahrang thumto angzoh o boeh, tiah thaih o naah, nihcae loe nawkta mitong tih ai, maiphaw sin thaih kaminawk boih to kawk moe, ramri ah angangsak.
22When they got up early in the morning, the sun was shining on the water, and it looked as red as blood to the Moabites across the way.
22Khawnbang khawnthaw angthawk o naah, ni aengh mah tui to kah, to naah Moab kaminawk mah ho bang yaeh hoiah, athii baktiah kathim tui to a hnuk o.
23“This is blood!” they exclaimed. “The kings have clashed swords and slaughtered one another. Now to the plunder, Moab!”
23To naah nihcae mah, Hae loe athii boeh ni! Siangpahrangnawk loe angmacae hoi angmacae anghum o boeh; to pongah Moab kaminawk, vaihi nihcae ih hmuenmae to la o si, tiah thuih o.
24But when the Moabites came to the camp of Israel, the Israelites rose up and attacked them, and they fled before them. So the Israelites invaded their land and struck down the Moabites.
24Israel kaminawk ataihaih ahmuen ah Moab kaminawk angzoh o naah, Israelnawk mah angang o moe, Moab kaminawk to takroek o; nihcae loe Israelnawk hmaa ah cawnh o; Israelnawk mah nihcae to Moab prae karoek to patom o moe, hum o.
25They destroyed the cities, and each man threw stones on every good field until it was covered. They stopped up every spring and cut down every good tree. Only Kir-haraseth was left with stones in place, but men with slings surrounded it and attacked it as well.
25Vangpui boih phraek pae o, lawk kahoih ahmuennawk boih to thlung koi mongah vah pae o; tuikhawnawk to patet pae o moe, kahoih thingnawk to pakruk pae o king; Kir-Haraseth vangpui ih sipae thlungnawk khue ni caeh o taak, toe ngazai sin kaminawk mah to vangpui to takui o moe, tuk o.
26When the king of Moab saw that the battle was too fierce for him, he took with him seven hundred swordsmen to break through to the king of Edom, but they could not prevail.
26Moab siangpahrang mah, misa mah pazawk tih boeh, tiah panoek naah, Edom siangpahrang ataihaih ahmuen hoiah misatuk hanah, sumsen sin kami cumvai sarihtonawk to caeh haih, toe anih mah pazawk thai ai.
27So he took his firstborn son, who was to succeed him, and offered him as a burnt offering on the city wall. And there was great fury against the Israelites, so they withdrew and returned to their own land.
27To pacoengah angmah zuengah siangpahrang ah kaom han koi calu to lak moe, vangpui sipae nuiah angbawnhaih to a sak; to tiah sakhaih to Israelnawk hanah paroeai panuet thok hmuen ah poek o pongah, angqoi o moe, angmacae prae ah amlaem o taak.
