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.

And it came to pass, when Jehoshaphat had riches and honour, in abundance, that he contracted, by marriage, affinity 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.

So he went down, at the end of some years, unto Ahab, to Samaria, Ahab therefore sacrificed for him, sheep and oxen, in abundance, also for the people whom he had with him, -and then persuaded him to go up against 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.

For Ahab king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat king of Judah, Wilt thou go up with me to Ramoth-gilead? And he said unto him—So am I, even as thou, and, like thy people, are my people, and, with thee, in the war.

4 Be hidadea ani da Hina Godema adole ba: la: di.’”

Then said Jehoshaphat, unto the king of Israel, —Seek, I pray thee, some time to-day, the word of Yahweh.

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 gathered together the prophets, four hundred men, and said unto them, Shall we go up against Ramoth-gilead to battle, or shall I forbear? And they said—Go up, and may God 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: ?”

Then said Jehoshaphat, Is there not here a prophet of Yahweh, besides, —that we may seek, from him?

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!”

Then said the king of Israel unto Jehoshaphat—There is yet one man, by whom to seek Yahweh, but, I, hate him, for he is never prophesying, concerning me, anything good—but—all his days—evil, the same, is Micaiah, son of Imla. Then said Jehoshaphat, Let not the king say, so!

8 Amalalu, A:iha: be da eagene ouligisu dunuma, Maiga: ia hedolowane lala masa: ne sia: i.

And the king of Israel called for a certain officer, —and said, Haste, Micaiah son of Imla!

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.

Now, the king of Israel, and Jehoshaphat king of Judah, were sitting, each upon his throne, clothed in robes, and they were sitting in an open space, at the entrance of the gate of Samaria, —and, all the prophets, were 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.’”

Then did Zedekiah son of Chenaanah make him horns of iron, —and said—Thus, saith Yahweh, With these, shalt thou push Syria, until they are consumed.

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, so, saying, -Go up to Ramoth-gilead, and prosper, and Yahweh 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.”

And, the messenger who went to call Micaiah, spake unto him, saying, Lo! the words of the prophets, with one mouth, are good for the king, —be thy word then, I pray thee, like one of theirs, so wilt thou speak good.

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.”

Then said Micaiah, —By the life of Yahweh, whatsoever my God shall say, that, must I speak.

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.”

Now, when he came unto the king, the king said unto him, Micah, shall we go against Ramoth-gilead to battle, or shall I forbear? And he said, Go ye up and prosper, and may they be delivered 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.”

Then the king said unto him, How many times, must, I, be putting thee on oath, —that thou speak unto me nothing but the truth in the name of Yahweh?

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 he said, I saw all Israel, scattered upon the mountains, like sheep that have no shepherd, -and Yahweh said, No masters, have these! let them return every man unto his own house, 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 said the king of Israel, unto Jehoshaphat, —Said I not unto thee, He wilt not prophesy concerning me anything good, but evil?

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.

Then said he, Therefore, hear ye the word of Yahweh, —I saw Yahweh, sitting upon his throne, and, all the host of the heavens, standing, on his right hand and 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.

Then said Yahweh, Who will persuade Ahab king of Israel, that he may go up and fall in Ramoth-gilead? And one spake, saying after this manner, and another, saying after that manner.

20 Be a: silibu afae da aliaguda: le, Hina Godema gadenena asili, amane sia: i, ‘Na da ema ogogomu.’

Then came there forth a spirit and stood before Yahweh, and said, I, will persuade him. And Yahweh said unto him, Wherewith?

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 said, I will go forth and become a spirit of falsehood, in the mouth of all his prophets. And he said—Thou mayest persuade, moreover also, thou shalt prevail, go forth, and do, so.

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!”

Now, therefore, lo! Yahweh hath suffered a spirit of falsehood to be put into the mouth of these thy prophets, —but, Yahweh, hath spoken concerning thee—evil.

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 drew near Zedekiah son of Chenaanah, and smote Micaiah upon the cheek, —and said, Which then is the way the spirit of Yahweh passed from me, to speak with thee?

24 Maiga: ia da bu adole i, “Di da bagia dialebe sesei afae amo ganodini wamoaligimusa: ahoasea, amo dawa: mu.”

Then said Micaiah, Lo! thou shalt see, on that day when thou shalt enter into a chamber within a chamber, to hide thyself.

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.

Then said the king of Israel, Take ye Micaiah, and carry him back unto Amon ruler of the city, and unto Joash son of the king;

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 ye shall say, Thus, saith the king, Put ye this one into the prison, —and feed him with the bread of oppression, and with the water of oppression, until I return in peace.

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!”

Then said Micaiah, If thou do, at all return, in peace, Yahweh hath not spoken by me. And he said, Hear! ye peoples, all!

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.

Then went up the king of Israel, and Jehoshaphat king of Judah, against Ramothgilead.

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 unto Jehoshaphat, [I am about] to disguise myself, and enter into the battle, but, thou, put on thy robes. So the king of Israel disguised himself, and entered into the 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 Syria, had commanded the captains of chariots which he had, saying, Ye shall not fight, with small [or] with great, —save with the king of Israel, alone.

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 it came to pass, when the chariot-captains saw Jehoshaphat, that, they, said, The king of Israel, it is. And they compassed him about, to fight, —but Jehoshaphat made outcry, and, Yahweh, helped him, yea God allured 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 so it came to pass, when the chariot-captains saw that it was not the king of Israel, that 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!”

but, a certain man, drawing a bow in his innocence, smote the king of Israel between the shoulder-joints and the coat of mail, —wherefore he said to the charioteer, Turn thy hand, and convey me out of the host, for I am sore 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.

But the battle increased on that day, and, the king of Israel, was propping himself up in the chariot before the Syrians, until evening, -and died at the time of the going in of the sun.
