1Jehoshaphat te a cungkuem ah khuehtawn neh thangpomnah a om hatah Ahab te a masae nah.
1Now Josaphat was rich and very glorious, and was joined by affinity to Achab.
2Kum a thok vaengah tah Samaria kah Ahab taengla suntla tih anih ham neh a taengkah pilnam ham khaw Ahab loh boiva neh saelhung te a cungkuem la a ngawn pah. Te vaengah anih te Ramothgilead paan hamla a vueh.
2And he went down to him after some years to Samaria: and Achab at his coming killed sheep and oxen in abundance for him and the people that came with him: and he persuaded him to go up to Ramoth Galaad.
3Te phoeiah Israel manghai Ahab loh Judah manghai Jehoshaphat te, “Kai taengah Ramothgilead la na lo aya?” a ti nah. Te dongah anih te, “Kai khaw nang banghui, na pilnam khaw ka pilnam ni. Caemtloek dongah khaw nang taengah ka om ni,” a ti nah.
3And Achab king of Israel said to Josaphat king of Juda: Come with me to Ramoth Galaad. And he answered him: Thou art as I am, and my people as thy people, and we will be with thee in the war.
4Tedae Jehoshaphat loh Israel manghai taengah, “BOEIPA ol te a khohnin bangla toem laeh,” a ti nah.
4And Josaphat said to the king of Israel: Inquire, I beseech thee, at present the word of the Lord.
5Te vaengah Israel manghai loh tonghma rhoek te hlang ya li a coi tih amih te, “Ramothgilead ah caemtloek la na lo aya? Ka paa mai aya?,” a ti nah. Te dongah, “Cet sih, Pathen loh manghai kut ah m'paek bitni,” a ti na uh.
5So the king of Israel gathered together of the prophets four hundred men, and he said to them: Shall we go to Ramoth Galaad to fight, or shall we forbear? But they said: Go up, and God will deliver it into the king’s hand.
6Tedae Jehoshaphat loh, “Amah te n'toem uh ham khaw BOEIPA kah tonghma om pueng pawt nim he,” a ti nah.
6And Josaphat said: Is there not here a prophet of the Lord, that we may inquire also of him?
7Israel manghai loh Jehoshaphat taengah, “Anih lamloh BOEIPA dawt sak ham hlang pakhat om pueng dae anih te ka thiinah. Anih te kai ham tah a then la a tonghma moenih. A hnin takuem ah thae mai. Anih te Imlah capa Mikhaiah ni,” a ti nah. Te vaengah Jehoshaphat loh, “Te te manghai kah a thui koi moenih,” a ti nah.
7And the king of Israel said to Josaphat: There is one man, of whom we may ask the will of the Lord: but I hate him, for he never prophesieth good to me, but always evil: and it is Micheas the son of Jemla. And Josaphat said: Speak not thus, O king.
8Te dongah Israel manghai loh imkhoem pakhat te a khue tih, “Imlah capa Mikhaiah tlek han khue,” a ti nah.
8And the king of Israel called one of the eunuchs, and said to him: Call quickly Micheas the son of Jemla.
9Israel manghai neh Judah manghai Jehoshaphat tah a ngolkhoel dongah ngol rhoi tih himbai a bai rhoi. Te vaengah Samaria vongka thohka kah cangtilhmuen ah ngol uh tih tonghma boeih te amih mikhmuh ah tonghma uh.
9Now the king of Israel, and Josaphat king of Juda, both sat on their thrones, clothed in royal robes, and they sat in the open court by the gate of Samaria, and all the prophets prophesied before them.
10Te vaengah Kenaanah capa Zedekiah loh amah ham thi ki a saii tih, “BOEIPA loh he ni a thui. He nen he amih a khah hil Aram te na thoeh bitni,” a ti nah.
10And Sedecias the son of Chanaana made him horns of iron, and said: Thus saith the Lord: With these shalt thou push Syria, till thou destroy it.
11Tonghma boeih khaw tonghma uh tangloeng tih, “Ramothgilead te paan lamtah thaihtak laeh, BOEIPA loh manghai kut ah m'paek bitni,” a ti uh.
11And all the prophets prophesied in like manner, and said: Go up to Ramoth Galaad, and thou shalt prosper, and the Lord will deliver them into the king’s hand.
12Mikhaiah te khue hamla aka cet puencawn long tah anih te a uen tih, “Tonghma rhoek kah ol tah olka pakhat la a om ke manghai ham khaw then ne. Te dongah nang ol khaw amih neh pakhat la om pawn saeh lamtah a then mah thui,” a ti nah.
12And the messenger that went to call Micheas, said to him: Behold the words of all the prophets with one mouth declare good to the king: I beseech thee therefore let not thy word disagree with them, and speak thou also good success.
13Tedae Mikhaiah loh, “BOEIPA kah hingnah dongah kai kah Pathen amah loh a thui bueng te ni ka thui eh?,” a ti nah.
13And Micheas answered him: As the Lord liveth, whatsoever my God shall say to me, that will I speak.
14Manghai taeng a pha vaengah manghai loh anih te, “Maikah, Ramothgilead te caemtloek la ka cet aya? Ka paa uh aya?,” a ti nah. Te vaengah, “Cet uh lamtah thaihtak uh, nangmih kut ah m'paek uh hatko,” a ti nah.
14So he came to the king: and the king said to him: Micheas, shall we go to Ramoth Galaad to fight, or forbear? And he answered him: Go up, for all shall succeed prosperously, and the enemies shall be delivered into your hands.
15Tedae manghai loh anih te, “BOEIPA ming neh oltak bueng phoeiah kai taengah a tloe thui boeh tila nang te kai loh voei meyet hil nim kan toemngam ve,” a ti nah.
15And the king said: I adjure thee again and again to say nothing but the truth to me, in the name of the Lord.
16Te vaengah, “Israel boeih te tlang ah boiva bangla a taekyak te ka hmuh, amih aka dawn ham khaw om pawh. Te dongah BOEIPA loh, 'He rhoek he boei a om moenih, hlang he ngaimongnah neh amah im la mael uh saeh,’ a ti,” a ti nah.
16Then he said: I saw all Israel scattered in the mountains, like sheep without a shepherd: and the Lord said: These have no masters: let every man return to his own house in peace.
17Israel manghai loh Jehoshaphat te, “Nang taengah ka thui moenih a? Kai soah a thae lam bueng ni, a then la a tonghma tlaih moenih,” a ti nah.
17And the king of Israel said to Josaphat: Did I not tell thee that this man would not prophesy me any good, but evil?
18Te vaengah, “Te dongah BOEIPA ol he hnatun uh. A ngolkhoel dongah aka ngol BOEIPA te ka hmuh. Vaan caempuei boeih khaw amah kah banvoei bantang ah pai uh.
18Then he said: Hear ye therefore the word of the Lord: I saw the Lord sitting on his throne, and all the army of heaven standing by him on the right hand and on the left.
19BOEIPA loh, “U long nim Israel manghai Ahab te a cuek lah ve? Te dongah cet lah vetih Ramothgilead ah cungku mako,’ a ti. Te vaengah tah, 'He long khaw he coeng ni a ti tih te long khaw te coeng ni a ti,’ a ti nah.
19And the Lord said: Who shall deceive Achab king of Israel, that he may go up and fall in Ramoth Galaad? And when one spoke in this manner, and another otherwise:
20Tedae mueihla ha pawk vaengah tah BOEIPA mikhmuh ah pai tih, “Kamah loh anih te ka cuek eh?,” a ti nah. Te vaengah BOEIPA loh anih te ni, “Me nen lae,” a ti nah.
20There came forth a spirit, and stood before the Lord, and said: I will deceive him. And the Lord said to him: By what means wilt thou deceive him?
21Te vaengah, “Ka cet vetih a tonghma rhoek boeih kah a ka khuiah laithae mueihla la ka om ni,” a ti nah. Te daengah, “Cuek lamtah coeng bal bitni, cet lamtah saii tangloeng laeh,” a ti nah.
21And he answered: I will go out, and be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets. And the Lord said: Thou shalt deceive, and shalt prevail: go out, and do so.
22Te dongah BOEIPA nang kah tonghma rhoek he a ka ah laithae mueihla a khueh pah coeng he. Te phoeiah BOEIPA loh nang hamla boethae a thui coeng,” a ti nah.
22Now therefore behold the Lord hath put a spirit of lying in the mouth of all thy prophets, and the Lord hath spoken evil against thee.
23Te vaengah Kenaanah capa Zedekiah te thoeih tih Mikhaiah te a kam ah a thoek. Te phoeiah, “Nang aka voek ham BOEIPA mueihla te kai taeng lamloh mekah longpuei lam a caeh he,” a ti nah.
23And Sedecias the son of Chanaana came, and struck Micheas on the cheek and said: Which way went the spirit of the Lord from me, to speak to thee?
24Mikhaiah loh, “Thuh uh hamla imkhui kah imkhui la na caeh vaengkah khohnin ah namah loh hmu ne,” a ti nah.
24And Micheas said: Thou thyself shalt see in that day, when thou shalt go in from chamber to chamber, to hide thyself.
25Israel manghai loh, “Mikhaiah te khuen uh, anih te khopuei mangpa Amon taeng neh manghai capa Joash taengla khuen uh.
25And the king of Israel commanded, saying: Take Micheas, and carry him to Amen the governor of the city, and to Joas the son of Amelech,
26Te vaengah, 'Manghai loh he ni a thui, anih he thong im ah khueh uh, anih te sading la ka mael hil nennah buh neh nennah tui mah cah uh,” a ti nah.
26And say: Thus saith the king: Put this fellow in prison, and give him bread and water in a small quantity till I return in peace.
27Tedae Mikhaiah loh, “Sading la na mael la na mael atah BOEIPA loh kai dongah thui pawt mako,” a ti nah. Te phoeiah, “Te boeih te pilnam loh ya saeh,” a ti nah.
27And Micheas said: If thou return in peace, the Lord hath not spoken by me. And he said: Hear, all ye people.
28Te dongah Israel manghai neh Judah manghai Jehoshaphat tah Ramothgilead la cet rhoi.
28So the king of Israel and Josaphat king of Juda went up to Ramoth Galaad.
29Tedae Israel manghai loh Jehoshaphat te, “Caemtloek la kun vaengah ka thohai uh mai eh. Tedae nang tah na himbai bai,” a ti nah. Te dongah Israel manghai te thohai uh tih caemtloek la cet.
29And the king of Israel said to Josaphat: I will change my dress, and so I will go to the battle, but put thou on thy own garments. And the king of Israel having changed his dress, went to the battle.
30Aram manghai long khaw amah taengkah leng mangpa rhoek te a uen tih, “Israel manghai amah bueng phoeiah tah a yit a len khaw tloek uh boeh,” a ti nah.
30Now the king of Syria had commanded the captains of his cavalry, saying: Fight ye not with small, or great, but with the king of Israel only.
31Leng mangpa rhoek loh Jehoshaphat te a hmuh uh tih amih loh te te Israel manghai a ti uh. Te dongah anih te tloek hamla a vael uh dae Jehoshaphat la pang. BOEIPA loh anih te a bom tih amih te khaw Pathen amah lamloh puk a va sak.
31So when the captains of the cavalry saw Josaphat, they said: This is the king of Israel. And they surrounded him to attack him: but he cried to the Lord, and he helped him, and turned them away from him.
32Leng mangpa rhoek loh a hmuh vaengah Israel manghai te a om pah pawt tih anih hnuk lamloh mael uh.
32For when the captains of the cavalry saw, that he was not the king of Israel, they left him.
33Tedae hlang pakhat loh a thincaknah neh lii te a phuk hatah Israel manghai te rhuhcong laklo neh caempho laklo ah a kah. Te dongah lengboei te na kut, na kut te hooi laeh. Ka tlo coeng tih caem khui lamloh kai n'khuen laeh,” a ti nah.
33And it happened that one of the people shot an arrow at a venture, and struck the king of Israel between the neck and the shoulders, and he said to his chariot man: Turn thy hand, and carry me out of the battle, for I am wounded.
34Te vaengah caemtloek te hnin at puet puh mai. Tedae Israel manghai tah sut om tih Aram dan kah leng khuiah hlaem duela pai. Tedae khomik a khum tue vaengah duek.
34And the fight was ended that day: but the king of Israel stood in his chariot against the Syrians until the evening, and died at the sunset.
