2 Hou Olelesu 18
1 Yuda hina bagade Yihosiafa: de da bagade gaguiwane amola mimogo hamonoba, ea sia: beba: le, ea fi dunu afae da Isala: ili hina bagade A: iha: be ea idiwi lai.
Now Jehoshaphat had riches and honor in abundance, and he allied himself with Ahab by marriage.
2 Ode mogili gidigili, amalalu Yihosiafa: de da Isala: ili hina bagade A: iha: be ba: la asi. A: iha: be da Yihosiafa: de amola ea sigi misi dunuma nodomusa: , bulamagau amola sibi bagohame medole legele, lolo nasu bagade hamoi. E da Yihosiafa: dema, e da ela Gilia: de soge moilai La: imode moilai bai bagade doagala: la masa: ne fuligala: i.
And some years later he went down to visit Ahab in Samaria, where Ahab sacrificed many sheep and cattle for him and the people with him, and urged him to march up to Ramoth-gilead.
3 Amola A: iha: be da Yihosiafa: dema amane adole ba: i, “Di da ani asili, La: imode doagala: ma: bela: ?” Yihosiafa: de da amane sia: i, “Na da dia momagei defele momagei dagoi, amola na dadi gagui dunu wa: i da momagei dagoi. Ninia da dima gilisimu.
Ahab king of Israel asked Jehoshaphat king of Judah, “Will you go with me against Ramoth-gilead?” And Jehoshaphat replied, “I am like you, and my people are your people; we will join you in the war.”
4 Be hidadea ani da Hina Godema adole ba: la: di.’”
But Jehoshaphat also said to the king of Israel, “Please inquire first for the word of the LORD.”
5 Amaiba: le, A:iha: be da balofede dunu huluane, 400 gomane, ema misa: ne wele, ilima amane adole ba: i, “Na da La: imode doagala: musa: ahoa: ne? O mae ahoa: ne?” Ilia da bu adole i, “Defea! Doagala: ma! Hina Gode da dima hasalasisu imunu!”
So the king of Israel assembled the prophets, four hundred men, and asked them, “Should we go to war against Ramoth-gilead, or should we refrain?” “Go up,” they replied, “and God will deliver it into the hand of the king.”
6 Be Yihosiafa: de da adole ba: i, “Balofede dunu eno Hina Godema adole ba: ma: ne ganabela: ?”
But Jehoshaphat asked, “Is there not still a prophet of the LORD here of whom we can inquire?”
7 A: iha: be da bu adole i, “Afae fawane esala. E da Maiga: ia (Imila egefe). Be na da ema higa: i hodosa. Bai e da nama fa: no misunu hou noga: idafa hamedafa olelesa. E da wadela: i liligi amo fawane ba: la: la.” Yihosiafa: de da bu adole i, “Di da agoane hame sia: mu galu!”
The king of Israel answered, “There is still one man who can ask the LORD, but I hate him because he never prophesies anything good for me, but only bad. He is Micaiah son of Imlah.” “The king should not say that!” Jehoshaphat replied.
8 Amalalu, A:iha: be da eagene ouligisu dunuma, Maiga: ia hedolowane lala masa: ne sia: i.
So the king of Israel called one of his officials and said, “Bring Micaiah son of Imlah at once.”
9 Hina bagade aduna da elea hina bagade abula ga: newane, ela fisu da: iya, ‘gala: ine’ dadabisu sogebi, Samelia moilai bai bagade gagoi logo holei gadili, esalebe ba: i. Amola balofede dunu huluane da elea midadi, fa: no misunu hou olelelalebe ba: i.
Dressed in royal attire, the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat king of Judah were sitting on their thrones at the threshing floor by the entrance of the gate of Samaria, with all the prophets prophesying before them.
10 Balofede dunu afae amo Sedegaia (Gina: iana egefe) da ouliga bulamagau ‘hono’ agoai hamone, A:iha: bema amane sia: i, “Hina Gode da amane sia: sa, ‘Goega alia da Silia dunuma gegene, dafawanedafa ili hasalasimu.’”
Now Zedekiah son of Chenaanah had made for himself iron horns and declared, “This is what the LORD says: ‘With these you shall gore the Arameans until they are finished off.’”
11 Balofede dunu oda ilia huluane da amo defele sia: i. Ilia da amane sia: i, “La: imode doagala: musa: mogodigili masa! Alia da ili hasalimu. Hina Gode da ili hasalima: ne, alima hasalasu imunu.”
And all the prophets were prophesying the same, saying, “Go up to Ramoth-gilead and prosper, for the LORD will deliver it into the hand of the king.”
12 Amogalu, eagene ouligisu dunu amo da Maiga: iama misa: ne sia: musa: asi, da ema amane sia: i, “Balofede dunu oda huluane da ba: la: lebeba: le, hina bagade da hasalasima: ne sia: sa. Di amola da amanewane sia: mu da defea.”
Then the messenger who had gone to call Micaiah instructed him, “Behold, with one accord the words of the prophets are favorable to the king. So please let your words be like theirs, and speak favorably.”
13 Be Maiga: ia da bu adole i, “Hina Gode Esala amo Ea Dioba: le, na da amane ilegele sia: sa! E nama adomu amo fawane, na da bu alofele sia: mu.”
But Micaiah said, “As surely as the LORD lives, I will speak whatever my God tells me.”
14 E da hina bagade A: iha: be ea midadi doaga: loba, hina bagade da ema amane adole ba: i, “Maiga: ia! Na amola hina bagade Yihosiafa: de ania da La: imode doagala: musa: ahoa: ne? O mae ahoa: ne?” Maiga: ia da bu adole i, “Defea! Doagala: ma! Di da dafawane hasalimu. Hina Gode da dima hasalasisu imunu.”
When Micaiah arrived, the king asked him, “Micaiah, should we go to war against Ramoth-gilead, or should we refrain?” “Go up and triumph,” Micaiah replied, “for they will be given into your hand.”
15 Be A: iha: be da bu adole i, “Di da Hina Gode Ea Dioba: le nama sia: sea, dafawane sia: fawane sia: ma! Na da amo dima adolala helei.”
But the king said to him, “How many times must I make you swear not to tell me anything but the truth in the name of the LORD?”
16 Maiga: ia da bu adole i, “Na da Isala: ili dadi gagui wa: i amo sibi wa: i amo da sibi ouligisu dunu hame gala, amo defele agolo sogega afagogoi dagoi, ba: sa. Amola Hina Gode da amane sia: i, ‘Amo dunu da bisilua hame. Ilia da olofole ilia diasuga buhagima: ma!’”
So Micaiah declared: “I saw all Israel scattered on the hills like sheep without a shepherd. And the LORD said, ‘These people have no master; let each one return home in peace.’”
17 A: iha: be da Yihosiafa: dema amane sia: i, “Na da dima sia: i dagoi. E da nama ba: la: lusu hou olelesea, fa: no misunu hou noga: idafa hamedafa olelesa. E da gugunufinisisu fawane ba: lala.”
Then the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, “Did I not tell you that he never prophesies good for me, but only bad?”
18 Maiga: ia da eno amane sia: i, “Wali Hina Gode Ea sia: be nabima! Na da Hina Gode amo Hebene ganodini Ea Fisu da: iya esalebe ba: i. Hebene ganodini esalebe a: silibu huluane da Hina Gode ili dadafulili lelefulubi ba: i.
Micaiah continued, “Therefore hear the word of the LORD: I saw the LORD sitting on His throne, and all the host of heaven standing on His right and on His left.
19 Hina Gode da amane adole ba: i, ‘Nowa da A: iha: be enoga medole legema: ne, La: imode moilaiga masa: ne, ema ogogoma: bela: ?’ Hebene esalebe a: silibu, ilia uduligafole sia: dalu.
And the LORD said, ‘Who will entice Ahab king of Israel to march up and fall at Ramoth-gilead?’ And one suggested this, and another that.
20 Be a: silibu afae da aliaguda: le, Hina Godema gadenena asili, amane sia: i, ‘Na da ema ogogomu.’
Then a spirit came forward, stood before the LORD, and said, ‘I will entice him.’ ‘By what means?’ asked the LORD.
21 Hina Gode da amane adole ba: i, ‘Habodane ogogoma: bela: ?’ A: silibu da bu adole i, ‘Na da asili, A:iha: be ea balofede dunu huluane ilia lafi ganodini ogogosu a: silibu salasimu.’ Hina Gode da amane sia: i, ‘Defea! Ema ogogomusa: masa! Di da ema dafawane didili ogogomu.’”
And he replied, ‘I will go out and be a lying spirit in the mouths of all his prophets.’ ‘You will surely entice him and prevail,’ said the LORD. ‘Go and do it.’
22 Amo sia: dagomusa: , Maiga: ia da amane sia: i, “Amo hou da doaga: i dagoi. Hina Gode da ilima hamobeba: le, dia balofede dunu da ilia lafidili dima ogogoi. Be Hina Gode Hisu da dima gugunufinisisu imunusa: ilegei dagoi!”
So you see, the LORD has put a lying spirit in the mouths of these prophets of yours, and the LORD has pronounced disaster against you.”
23 Amalalu, balofede dunu Sedegaia da Maiga: iama asili, ea odagia loboga ba: danoma: nu, ema amane adole ba: i, “Habogala Hina Gode Ea A: silibu da dima sia: musa: , na yolesibala: ?”
Then Zedekiah son of Chenaanah went up, struck Micaiah in the face, and demanded, “Which way did the Spirit of the LORD go when He departed from me to speak with you?”
24 Maiga: ia da bu adole i, “Di da bagia dialebe sesei afae amo ganodini wamoaligimusa: ahoasea, amo dawa: mu.”
Micaiah replied, “You will soon see, on that day when you go and hide in an inner room.”
25 Amalalu, hina bagade A: iha: be da ea eagene ouligisu dunu afae ema amane sia: i, “Maiga: ia gagulaligili, amola moilai ouligisu dunu A: mone, amola hina bagade mano Youa: sie, elama oule masa.
And the king of Israel declared, “Take Micaiah and return him to Amon the governor of the city and to Joash the king’s son,
26 Ela da e se iasu diasu ganodini hiougili sanasima: ne sia: ma. Amola ema agi amola hano fawane ima: ne sia: ma. Amalalu, na da hahawane bu masea, na da ema adi hamoma: bela: le ba: mu”
and tell them that this is what the king says: ‘Put this man in prison and feed him only bread and water until I return safely.’”
27 Maiga: ia da ha: giwane amane sia: i, “Di da hahawane buhagisia, Hina Gode da na lafidili hame sia: i, amo dawa: ma!” Amola e eno amane sia: i, “Dilia huluane! Na sia: i amo noga: le nabima!”
But Micaiah replied, “If you ever return safely, the LORD has not spoken through me.” Then he added, “Take heed, all you people!”
28 Amalalu, Isala: ili hina bagade A: iha: be, amola Yuda hina bagade Yihosiafa: de, ela da La: imode moilai Gilia: de soge ganodini gala, amo doagala: musa: asi.
So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat king of Judah went up to Ramoth-gilead.
29 A: iha: be da Yihosiafa: dema amane sia: i, “Ania da gegemusa: ahoanea, na da na da: i afadenemu. Be di da dina: hina bagade abula ga: newane masa.” Amalalu, Isala: ili hina bagade da da: i afadeneiwane, gegemusa: asi.
And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, “I will disguise myself and go into battle, but you wear your royal robes.” So the king of Israel disguised himself and went into battle.
30 Silia hina bagade da musa: ea ‘sa: liode’ ouligisu dunuma, ilia da dunu eno mae dawa: le, Isala: ili hina bagade fawane doagala: ma: ne sia: i.
Now the king of Aram had ordered his chariot commanders, “Do not fight with anyone, small or great, except the king of Israel.”
31 Ilia da Yuda hina bagade Yihosiafa: de ba: beba: le, ilia e da Isala: ili hina bagadeyale dawa: i galu. Amaiba: le, ilia da e doagala: musa: sinidigi. Be e da ha: giwane webeba: le,
When the chariot commanders saw Jehoshaphat, they said, “This is the king of Israel!” So they turned to fight against him, but Jehoshaphat cried out, and the LORD helped him. God drew them away from him.
32 ilia Yihosiafa: de da Isala: ili hina bagade hame, amo dawa: beba: le, ilia da ema doagala: musa: ahoanu amo yolesi.
And when the chariot commanders saw that he was not the king of Israel, they turned back from pursuing him.
33 Be Silia dadi gagui dunu afae da udigili dadiga gala: i amomane, sou da hina bagade A: iha: be ea da: igene ga: su amo dibiga ea da: i damana ludi. E da ea ‘sa: liode’ masa: ne efe gagusu dunuma amane wei, “Na da gala: i wea! Sinidigima! Gegesu yolesima!”
However, a certain man drew his bow without taking special aim, and he struck the king of Israel between the joints of his armor. So the king said to his charioteer, “Turn around and take me out of the battle, for I am badly wounded!”
34 Gegesu da gegegena ahoanobawane, hina bagade A: iha: be da ea ‘sa: liode’ da: iya, Silia dadi gagui wa: i amoma ba: le gusuliwane udidili lelebe ba: i. E gala: i amoga maga: me da a: idalobawane, ‘sa: liode’ aligisu fa: i amo dedebole, daeya galu e da bogoi.
The battle raged throughout that day, and the king of Israel propped himself up in his chariot facing the Arameans until evening. And at sunset he died.
