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 was very wealthy and highly honored, and he made a marriage alliance with Ahab.
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.
Some years later he went to pay Ahab a visit in Samaria. Ahab sacrificed many sheep and cattle for him and the people who accompanied him, and encouraged him to attack 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, “Would you go with me against Ramoth-gilead?” Jehoshaphat replied, “You and I are as one, and my men and your men are as one. We will join forces with you in this war.”
4 Be hidadea ani da Hina Godema adole ba: la: di.’”
Then Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel, “But first though, please find out what the Lord says.”
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 brought out the prophets—four hundred of them—and he asked them, “Should we go up and attack Ramoth-gilead, or should I not?” “Yes, go ahead,” they replied, “for God will hand it over to the king.”
6 Be Yihosiafa: de da adole ba: i, “Balofede dunu eno Hina Godema adole ba: ma: ne ganabela: ?”
But Jehoshaphat asked, “Isn't there another prophet of the Lord here that we can ask?”
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!”
“Yes, there's another man who could consult the Lord,” the king of Israel replied, “but I don't like him because he never prophesies anything good for me—it's always bad! His name is Micaiah, son of Imlah.” “You shouldn't talk like that,” said Jehoshaphat.
8 Amalalu, A:iha: be da eagene ouligisu dunuma, Maiga: ia hedolowane lala masa: ne sia: i.
The king of Israel called over one of his officials and told him, “Bring me Micaiah, son of Imlah, right away.”
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 their royal robes, the king of Israel and King Jehoshaphat of Judah, were sitting on their thrones at the threshing floor beside the gate of Samaria, with all of the prophets prophesying in front of 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.’”
One of them, Zedekiah, son of Chenaanah, had made himself iron horns. He announced, “This is what the Lord says: ‘With these horns you will gore the Arameans until they're dead!”
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.”
All the prophets were prophesying the same thing, saying, “Go ahead, attack Ramoth-gilead; you will be successful, for the Lord will hand it over to 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.”
The messenger who went to call Micaiah told him, “Look, all the prophets are unanimous in prophesying positively to the king. So please make sure to speak positively like them.”
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 replied, “As the Lord lives, I can only say what 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 he came before the king, the king asked him, “Should we go up and attack Ramoth-gilead, or should I not?” “Yes, go ahead and be victorious,” Micaiah replied, “for they will be handed over to the king.”
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 to tell me only 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 answered, “I saw all Israel scattered on the mountains like sheep without a shepherd. The Lord said, ‘These people have no master; let each of them go 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.”
The king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, “Didn't I tell you he never prophesies anything good for me, 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 went on to say, “So listen to what the Lord says. I saw the Lord sitting on his throne, surrounded by the whole army of heaven standing to his right and to 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.
The Lord asked, ‘Who will trick Ahab, king of Israel, into attacking Ramoth-gilead so he will be killed there?’ One said this, another said that, and another said something else.
20 Be a: silibu afae da aliaguda: le, Hina Godema gadenena asili, amane sia: i, ‘Na da ema ogogomu.’
Finally a spirit came and approached the Lord and said, ‘I will trick him.’ ‘How are you going to do that?’ the Lord asked.
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.’”
‘I will go and be a lying spirit and make all his prophets tell lies,’ the spirit replied. ‘That will work,’ the Lord responded. ‘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!”
As you see, the Lord has put a lying spirit into these prophets of yours, and the Lord has pronounced your death sentence.”
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 and slapped Micaiah in the face, and demanded, “Which way did the Spirit of the Lord go when he left me to speak to you?”
24 Maiga: ia da bu adole i, “Di da bagia dialebe sesei afae amo ganodini wamoaligimusa: ahoasea, amo dawa: mu.”
“You'll soon find out when you try and find some secret place to hide!” Micaiah replied.
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.
The king of Israel ordered, “Place Micaiah under arrest and take him back to Amon the governor of the city and to my son Joash.
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”
Tell them these are the king's instructions: ‘Put this man in jail. Give him only bread and water until my safe return.’”
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!”
“If you do in fact return safely then the Lord has not spoken through me,” Micaiah declared. “Pay attention everyone to all I've said!”
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.
The king of Israel and Jehoshaphat, king of Judah, went to attack 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.
The king of Israel told Jehoshaphat, “When I go into battle I will be in disguise, but you should 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.
The king of Aram had already given these orders to his chariot commanders: “Head straight for the king of Israel alone. Don't fight with anyone else, whoever they are.”
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,
So when the chariot commanders saw Jehoshaphat, they shouted, “There's the king of Israel!” So they turned to attack him, but Jehoshaphat called out for help, and the Lord did help him. God redirected 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.
for when the chariot commanders realized that he wasn't the king of Israel, they stopped chasing 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, an enemy archer shot an arrow at random, hitting the king of Israel between the joints of his armor by his breastplate. The king told his charioteer, “Turn around and get me out of the fight, because I've been 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 lasted all day. The king of Israel propped himself up in his chariot to face the Arameans until the evening. But he died at sunset.
