2 Hina 3
1 Yuda hina bagade Yihosiafa: de da ode18 ouligilalu, Youla: me (A: iha: be egefe) da Isala: ili hina bagade hamoi. E da Samelia moilai bai bagade amo ganodini esala, ode fagoyale agoane Isala: ili ouligi.
After Jehoshaphat had been ruling Judah for almost 18 years, Ahab’s son Joram became the king of Israel. He ruled in Samaria [city] for twelve years.
2 E da Hina Godema wadela: le hamoi, be ea ada amola eme Yesebele, elea wadela: i hou hamoi amo defeledafa hame hamoi. E da Ba: ilema nodone sia: ne gadosu ‘gode’ agoaila, amo eda ea hamoi, amo mugululi sali.
He did things that Yahweh considered to be evil, but he did not do as much evil as his father and mother had done, and he got rid of the pillar [for worshiping] Baal which his father had made.
3 Be amomane, hina bagade Yelouboua: me (Niba: de egefe) amo ea hou defele, e da Isala: ili fi wadela: le hamoma: ne oule asili, amola amo hou fisimusa: hame dawa: i.
But he committed the sins that [King] Jeroboam had committed and which led the Israeli people to sin, and he did not stop committing those sins.
4 Moua: be hina bagade Misia da sibi fofole ouligi. Ode huluane, e da ea lasu su dabe iasu, 100,000 sibi mano amola 100,000 sibi ilia hinabo goloi, amo Isala: ili hina bagade ema iasu.
Mesha, the king of Moab, raised sheep. [Every year] he was forced to give 100,000 lambs and the wool from 100,000 rams to the king of Israel, [because his kingdom was controlled by the king of Israel].
5 Be Isala: ili hina bagade A: iha: be da bogobeba: le, Misia da Isala: ili fi ilima odoga: i.
But after King Ahab died, Mesha rebelled against the king of Israel.
6 Isala: ili hina bagade da hedolowane Samelia yolesili, ea dadi gagui dunu gagadoi.
So King Joram left Samaria and gathered together all his soldiers.
7 E da Yuda hina bagade Yihosiafa: dema sia: amane adosi, “Moua: be hina bagade da nama odoga: sa. Di da nama madelale ema gegema: bela: ?” Hina bagade Yihosiafa: de da amane bu adole i, “Ma! Amamuda! Na amola na dunu amola na fila heda: le gegesu hosi da dia hanai defele hamomu.
Then he sent this message to Jehoshaphat, the king of Judah: “The king of Moab has rebelled against me. So will your army join my army and fight against the army of Moab?” Jehoshaphat replied, “Yes, we will help you. We are ready to do whatever you want us to. My soldiers and my horses are ready to help you.”
8 Ninia da logo habidili asili, doagala: ma: bela: ?” Youla: me da bu adole i, “Ninia da logo sedade, Idome hafoga: i sogedili masunu!”
He asked, “On which road shall we march to attack them?” Joram replied, “We will go [south to Jerusalem, where your army will join us. Then we will all go south of the Dead Sea, and then turn north] through the Edom Desert.”
9 Amaiba: le, hina bagade Youla: me amola Yuda hina bagade amola Idome hina bagade da wa: le asi. Eso fesuale agoane mogodigili ahoanoba, hano di da ebeleiba: le, dunu amola ohe da hano manu hame ba: i.
So the king of Israel [and his army] went with the kings of Judah and Edom [and their armies]. They marched for seven days. Then there was no water left for their soldiers or for their animals that carried supplies.
10 Hina bagade Yelouboua: me da amane sia: i, “Waiye! Ninimone masunu hamedei! Hina Gode da hina bagade dunu udiana ninima, nini Moua: be hina bagade nini hasalasimusa: gegedolesibala: !”
The king of Israel exclaimed, “This is a terrible situation! [It seems that] Yahweh will allow the three of us to be captured by [the army of] [MTY] Moab!”
11 Hina bagade Yihosiafa: de da amane adole ba: i, “Goegai balofede dunu afae, ea da Hina Godema adole ba: mu ganabela: ?” Hina bagade Youla: me ea dadi gagui ouligisu dunu afae da amane adole i, “Ilaisia (Sia: ifa: de egefe) da goegai lela. E da Ilaidia ea afoha hawa: hamosu dunu galu.”
Jehoshaphat said, “Is there a prophet here who can ask Yahweh for us [what we should do]?” One of Joram’s army officers said, “Elisha, the son of Shaphat, is here. He was Elijah’s assistant.” [IDM]
12 Yihosiafa: de da amane sia: i, “E da dafawane balofede dunudafa!” Amalalu, hina bagade dunu udiana da Ilaisiama afia: i.
Jehoshaphat said, “[It will be good to ask him, because] he speaks what Yahweh tells him to say.” So those three kings went to Elisha.
13 Ilaisia da Isala: ili hina bagadema amane sia: i, “Abuliba: le na da di fidima: bela: ? Di da asili, dia ada amola ame ilia balofede eno ilima adole ba: i. Ilima adole ba: la masa.” Youla: me da amane adole i, “Hame mabu! Hina Gode Hi fawane da nini hina bagade udiana amo Moua: be hina bagade nini hasalasimusa: asunasi.”
Elisha said to the king of Israel, “Why do you come to me [RHQ]? Go and ask those prophets that your father and mother consulted!” But Joram replied, “No, [we want you to ask Yahweh, because it seems that] Yahweh is going to allow us three kings to be captured by the army of Moab.”
14 Ilaisia da bu adole i, “Na da Hina Gode Esalebe Ea hawa: hamosa. Amo Ea Dioba: le, na da amane ilegele sia: sa. Na da dia fidisu dunu, Yuda hina bagade Yihosiafa: de, ema asigiba: le fawane, di fidimu.
Elisha replied, “I serve Yahweh, the commander of the armies of angels in heaven. As surely as he lives, if I did not respect Jehoshaphat the king of Judah, I would not even think about doing anything to help you.
15 Wali, sani baidama dusu dunu, nama oule misa!” Sani baidama dusu dunu da ea sani baidama dunanoba, Hina Gode da Ilaisiama Ea gasa i.
But, bring a musician to me.” [So they did that]. And when the musician played [on his harp], the power of Yahweh came on Elisha.
16 E amane sia: i, “Hina Gode da amane sia: sa, ‘Amo hano logo hafogai ganodini, hano ogai bagohame ogane gagama!
He said, “Yahweh says that he will cause this dry stream-bed to be full of water.
17 Dilia da gibu amola fo afae hamedafa ba: mu. Be amo hafogai hano logo da hanoga nabai ba: mu. Amola di, amola dia ohe wa: i, amola liligi gaguli ahoasu ohe, ilia da hano manu gilisi ba: mu.”
The result will be that your soldiers and your animals that carry supplies and your livestock will have plenty of water to drink.
18 Ilaisia da eno amane sia: i, “Be amo hou hamomu da Hina Godema da asaboi gala. Amolawane, e da dilima Moua: bema hasalasisu hou imunu.
That is not difficult for Yahweh to do. [But he will do more than that]. He will also enable you to defeat [the army of] Moab.
19 Dilia da ilia gagili sanawene moilai noga: idafa huluane amo hasalasilalu, samogene lamu. Dilia da ilia ifa dulu faili nasu huluane abusa: le salimu. Dilia da ilia hano nasu huluane lelesimu. Amola ilia nasegagi ha: i bugili nasu soge huluane gelega dedebole, gugunufinisimu.”
You will conquer all their beautiful cities, cities that have high walls around them. You must cut down all their fruit trees, stop water from flowing from their springs, and ruin their fertile fields by covering them with rocks.”
20 Golale hahabe, hahabe gobele salalusu eso defele, hano da Idome sogeganini a: imisini, osobo dedeboi.
The next morning, at the time when they offered the sacrifices [of grain], they were surprised to see water flowing from Edom and covering the ground.
21 Moua: be dunu da hina bagade udiana ili doagala: musa: misi dagoi nababeba: le, ilia dunu huluane amo da gegesu liligi gaguli ahoasu dawa: , amo ilima misa: ne sia: nu, Isala: ili soge alalo amoga dadalema: ne sia: i.
When the people of Moab heard that the three kings had come [with their armies] to fight against them, all the men who were able to fight in battles, from the youngest men to the oldest ones, were summoned, and they (took their positions/prepared to fight) at the [southern] border of their land.
22 Ilia da hahabe galu wa: legadole, eso da hano da: iya digagala: i amo da ma: ga: me agoai ba: i.
But when they rose early the next morning, they saw that the water across from them appeared to be as red as blood.
23 Moua: be dunu da amane sia: i, “Amo da maga: me! Ha lai wa: i udiana ilia da ili gobele gegeiba: le, huluane medole legei ba: sa. Ninia da ilia ha wa: i fisisuga liligi samogemusa: ahoa: di!”
They exclaimed, “It is blood! The three enemy armies must have fought and killed each other! So let’s go and take everything that they have left!”
24 Be ilia da Isala: ili ha wa: i fisisua doaga: loba, Isala: ili dunu da ilima doagala: le, ili misibudili se bobogei. Ilia da ili se bobogele, Moua: be fi dunu medole lelegele,
But when they reached the area where the Israeli soldiers had set up their tents, the Israelis attacked the soldiers from Moab and forced them to retreat. The Israeli soldiers pursued the soldiers from Moab and killed many of them.
25 amola ilia moilai gugunufinisi. Ilia da nasegagi sogebi amo baligilala, Isala: ili dunu huluane afae afae da amoga gelega gaga: lala, nasegagi ha: i manu bugili nasu soge huluane da gelega dedeboi ba: i. Amola ilia da hano bubuga: su huluane lelesisili amola ifa dulu faili nasu huluane abusa: le sali. Amalalu, fa: nodafa, Moua: be soge moilai bai bagade Ge Helese amo fawane dialebe ba: i. Isala: ili ga: muga: dadi gagui dunu da amo moilai sisiga: le, doagala: i.
The Israelis also destroyed their cities. And whenever they passed fertile fields, they threw rocks on those fields, until the fields were covered with rocks. They stopped water from flowing from the springs and cut down the fruit trees. Finally, only [the capital city, ] Kir-Hareseth, remained. The Israeli soldiers who threw stones with slings surrounded the city and attacked it.
26 Moua: be hina bagade da gegesu amoga e da hasalabe ba: beba: le, e da gegesu gobihei gagui dunu 7,000 agoane oule asili, ha wa: i dadalei amodili Silia hina bagade ema hobeale masusa: dawa: i. Be hamedei ba: i.
When the king of Moab realized that his army was being defeated, he took with him 700 men who fought with swords, and they tried to force a way through the Israeli lines of soldiers to escape to [get help from] the king of Syria, but they were unable to escape.
27 Amaiba: le, e da ea magobo mano lale (amo da e bagia hina bagade hamomu galu) amo medole legele, Moua: be ogogole ‘gode’ma, moilai gagoi da: iya gobele sali. Isala: ili dunu da amo ba: beba: le, bagade beda: igia: i. Amaiba: le, ilia da moilai fisili, ilia sogedafa buhagi.
Then the king of Moab took his oldest son, who would have become the next king, and killed him and offered him for a sacrifice [to their god Chemosh], burning him on top of the city wall. The Israeli soldiers were horrified, with the result that they left that city and returned to their own country.
