1 Ruodhi 22
1 Kuom higni adek ne onge lweny e kind Israel gi Aram
And they remained [at rest] three years, there being no war between Syria and Israel.
2 To e higa mar adek Jehoshafat ruodh Juda nodhi neno ruodh Israel.
And it came to pass in the third year that Jehoshaphat the king of Judah came down to the king of Israel.
3 Ruodh Israel nosenyiso jodonge niya, “Donge ungʼeyo ni Ramoth Gilead en marwa to onge gima watimo mondo wakawe kuom ruodh Aram?”
And the king of Israel said unto his servants, Know ye that Ramoth in Gil'ad is ours, and we remain idle, without taking it out of the hand of the king of Syria?
4 Omiyo nopenjo Jehoshafat, “Ibiro dhi konya kedo gi jo-Ramoth Gilead?” Jehoshafat nodwoko ruodh Israel niya, “Wan joka ngʼato achiel, joga gin jogi, faresena gin fareseni.”
And he said unto Jehoshaphat, Wilt thou go with me to the battle against Ramoth-gil'ad? And Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel, I [will be] like thee, my people like thy people, my horses like thy horses.
5 To Jehoshafat bende nowachone ruodh Israel niya, “Mokwongo penj ane Jehova Nyasaye wachni.”
And Jehoshaphat said unto the king of Israel, Inquire, I pray thee, today [first] of the word of the Lord.
6 Omiyo ruodh Israel nochoko jonabi kanyakla maromo ji mia angʼwen, mopenjogi niya, “Bende anyalo dhi kedo gi jo-Ramoth Gilead, koso kik adhi?” Negidwoke niya “Dhiyo nikech Jehova Nyasaye nochiwe e lwet ruoth.”
Then assembled the king of Israel the prophets, about four hundred men, and said unto them, shall I go against Ramoth-gil'ad to battle, or shall I forbear? And they said, Go up; and the Lord will deliver [it] into the hand of the king.
7 To Jehoshafat nopenjo niya, “Donge nitie janabi mar Jehova Nyasaye ka ma dwapenj wach?”
And Jehoshaphat said, Is there not here a prophet of the Eternal besides, that we might inquire of him?
8 Ruodh Israel nodwoko Jehoshafat niya, “Pod nitie ngʼato achiel manyalo penjonwa Jehova Nyasaye wach, to ok adware nikech ok okor gimoro amora maber kuoma, to kinde duto mana gik maricho. Nyinge en Mikaya wuod Imla.” Jehoshafat nodwoko niya, “Ruoth ok onego iwach kamano.”
And the king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat, There is yet one man, by whom we might inquire of the Lord; but I hate him; for he will never prophesy good concerning me, but evil: [it is] Michayhu the son of Yimlah. And Jehoshaphat said, Let not the king say so.
9 Omiyo ruodh Israel noluongo achiel kuom jodonge mowachone niya, “Dhi piyo iom Mikaya wuod Imla.”
Then called the king of Israel a certain officer, and said, Hasten hither Michayhu the son of Yimlah.
10 Ruodh Israel kod Jehoshafat ruodh Juda noyudo orwako lepgi mag ruoth ka moro ka moro kuomgi obet e kom duongʼne e kar dino cham mantie e dhoranga Samaria, kendo ne gin kod jonabi duto mane koro e nyimgi.
And the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah were sitting each on his throne, dressed in their regal garments, in a threshing-floor at the entrance of the gate of Samaria; and all the prophets prophesied before them.
11 Koro Zedekia wuod Kenana noloso tunge mag nyinyo kolando niya, “Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye owacho, ‘Gi chumbegi ibiro chwowo jo-Aram nyaka itiekgi chuth.’”
And Zedekiah the son of Kena'anah had made himself horns of iron; and he said, Thus hath said the Lord, With these shalt thou push the Syrians, until thou have made an end of them.
12 Jonabi mamoko duto bende ne koro wach mana machal kamano. Negiwacho niya, “Monj jo-Ramoth Gilead kendo ilogi nikech Jehova Nyasaye enokete e lwet ruoth.”
And all the prophets prophesied so, saying, Go up to Ramoth-gil'ad, and prosper; and the Lord will deliver it into the king's hand.
13 Jaote mane odhi luongo Mikaya nowachone niya “Jonabi duto osekoro wach achiel machalre, kagiwacho ni gima ber biro timore ni ruoth. In bende yie ikor wach maber kaka gisekorono.”
And the messenger that went to call Michayhu spoke unto him, saying, Behold now, the words of the prophets are with one voice good for the king: do let thy word, I pray thee, be like the word of any one of them, and speak something good.
14 To Mikaya nowacho niya, “Akwongʼora gi nying Jehova Nyasaye mangima ni, anyalo mana nyise gima Jehova Nyasaye owachona.”
And Michayhu said, As the Lord liveth, truly, what the Lord may say unto me, that will I speak.
15 Kane Mikaya ochopo, ruoth nopenje niya, “Bende wanyalo dhi mondo waked gi jo-Ramoth Gilead, koso kik wadhi?” Nodwoke niya, “Ked kodgi kendo iyud loch nimar Jehova Nyasaye osechiwe e lwet ruoth.”
And when he was come to the king, the king said unto him, Michayhu, shall we go against Ramoth-gil'ad to battle, or shall we forbear? And he answered him, Go up, and prosper; and may the Lord deliver it into the hand of the king.
16 Ruoth nowachone niya, “Nyaka karangʼo ma anaketi mondo ikwongʼrina gi nying Jehova Nyasaye ni iwacho adiera ma ok miriambo?”
And the king said unto him, How many times yet must I adjure thee that thou shalt not speak to me anything but the truth in the name of the Lord?
17 Eka Mikaya nodwoke niya, “Ne aneno jo-Israel duto koke ewi gode mana kaka rombe maonge jakwath, kendo Jehova Nyasaye nowacho ni, ‘Jogi onge gi ruoth. Yie iwe ngʼato ka ngʼato odhi e dalane gi kwe.’”
And he said, I saw all Israel scattered over the mountains, as flocks that have not a shepherd: and the Lord said, These have no master; let them return every man to his house in peace.
18 Ruodh Israel nowachone Jehoshafat niya, “Donge nawachoni ni ok okorna gik mabeyo, to okoro mana gik maricho?”
And the king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat, Did I not say unto thee that he would not prophesy concerning me any good, but [only] evil?
19 Mikaya nodhi nyime kawacho niya, “Kuom mano winj wach Jehova Nyasaye: Naneno Jehova Nyasaye kobet e kom duongʼne gi jopolo duto kochungʼ molwore, e bade korachwich kendo e bade koracham.
And he said, Therefore hear thou the word of the Lord, I saw the Lord sitting on his throne, and all the host of heaven standing by him on his right and on his left.
20 Kendo Jehova Nyasaye nowacho ni, ‘En ngʼa mabiro hoyo Ahab mondo oked gi jo-Ramoth Gilead kendo onege kuno?’ “To ngʼato ka ngʼato nochiwo pache.
And the Lord said, Who will persuade Achab, that he may go up and fall at Ramoth-gil'ad! And one said, In this manner, and another said, In that manner.
21 Mogik, roho marach nobiro mochungʼ e nyim Jehova Nyasaye mowacho ni, ‘Abiro hoye.’
And there came forth a spirit, and placed himself before the Lord, and said, I will persuade him. And the Lord said unto him, Wherewith?
22 “Jehova Nyasaye nopenje niya, ‘Ere kaka ibiro hoye?’ “Nodwoke niya, ‘Abiro dhi mondo abed roho mar miriambo e dho jonabi mage duto.’ “Jehova Nyasaye nodwoke niya, ‘Dhiyo kendo itim kamano nikech in ema ibiro hoye mi iloye.’
And he said, I will go forth, and I will be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets. And he said, Thou wilt persuade him, and also prevail: go forth, and do so.
23 “Omiyo koro sani Jehova Nyasaye oseketo roho mar miriambo e dho jonabigi duto. Jehova Nyasaye osengʼadoni buch masira.”
And now, behold, the Lord hath put a lying spirit in the mouth of all these thy prophets; but the Lord hath spoken evil concerning thee.
24 Eka Zedekia wuod Kenana noa malo mopamo lemb Mikaya. Nopenje niya, “En yo mane ma Roho mar Jehova Nyasaye noluwo kobiro wuoyo kodi?”
And Zedekiah, the son of Kena'anah, went near, and struck Michayhu on the cheek, and said, Which way passed the Spirit of the Lord away from me to speak with thee!
25 Mikaya nodwoke niya, “Ibiro fwenyo chiengʼ ma iniring kidhi pondo e ot maiye.”
And Michayhu said, Behold, thou shalt see it on that day, when thou shalt go into the innermost chamber to hide thyself.
26 Ruodh Israel nogolo chik niya, “Kawuru Mikaya kendo utere ir Amon jatend dala maduongʼ kendo ir Joash wuod ruoth,
And the king of Israel said, Take Michayhu, and carry him back unto Amon the governor of the city, and unto Joash the king's son;
27 kendo uwachne ni, ‘Gima ruoth wacho ema: Ket ngʼatni e od twech kendo kik imiye gimoro amora makmana makati kod pi nyaka aduogi kangima.’”
And say, Thus hath said the king, Put this man in the prison, and feed him with sparing bread and with sparing water, until I come home in peace.
28 Mikaya nowachone niya, “Kidwogo kingima, to kara ok asewuoyo gi dho Jehova Nyasaye.” Bangʼe nomedo wacho niya, “Winjuru wechena, un ji duto!”
And Michayhu said, If thou return at all in peace, then hath the Lord not spoken through me. And he said, Hear it, O all ye nations!
29 Omiyo ruodh Israel gi Jehoshafat ruodh Juda nodhi Ramoth Gilead.
So the king of Israel went up with Jehoshaphat the king of Judah to Ramoth-gil'ad.
30 Ruodh Israel nowachone Jehoshafat niya, “Abiro rwako lewni moko ka wadhi e lweny mondo kik gifwenya, in to rwak arwaka lepi mag ruoth.” Omiyo ruodh Israel norwako lewni ma ok nyal fwenyego kendo nodhi e lweny.
And the king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat, I will disguise myself, and enter into the battle; but do thou put on thy regal garments. And the king of Israel disguised himself, and went into the battle.
31 Ruodh jo-Aram nogolo chik ne jotende piero adek gariyo mariembo geche niya, “Kik uked gi ngʼato angʼata bed ni otin kata oduongʼ makmana ruodh Israel.”
And the king of Syria had commanded the captains over his chariots, thirty-two [in number], saying, Fight neither with a small nor a great one, save only with the king of Israel alone.
32 Kane jotelo mariembo geche lweny noneno Jehoshafat negiwacho e chunygi niya, “Adier ma en ruodh Israel.” Omiyo negilokore mondo giked kode, to kane Jehoshafat oywak,
And it came to pass, when the captains of the chariots saw Jehoshaphat, that they said, Surely this is the king of Israel. And they turned aside against him to fight: and Jehoshaphat cried out.
33 jotelo mariembo geche lweny noneno ni ok en ruodh Israel mi negiweyo lawe.
And it came to pass, when the captains of the chariots perceived that it was not the king of Israel, that they turned back from following him.
34 To ngʼat moro noywayo atungʼ mare modiro asere ma nochwowo ruodh Israel e kind law lweny mane orwako. Ruoth nonyiso jariemb gache niya, “Lok garini mondo igola ka, nimar ahinyora marach.”
But a man drew his bow at a venture, and struck the king of Israel between the joints and the armor; wherefore he said unto his chariot-driver. Turn about, and carry me out of the camp; for I am wounded.
35 Odiechiengʼno duto lweny nomedo bedo mager kendo noten ruoth e gache komanyore gi jo-Aram. Remo mane chwer kawuok kama nohinyore nopongʼo i gari, kendo godhiambo notho.
And the battle increased on that day; and the king was stayed up in his chariot against the Syrians; but he died in the evening: and the blood of the wound flowed down into the hollow of the chariot.
36 Kane ochopo podho chiengʼ ywak nowinjore e kind jolweny niya, ngʼato ka ngʼato odog e gwengʼ-gi kendo ngʼato ka ngʼato odog e pinygi.
And there went a proclamation throughout the camp at the going down of the sun, saying, Every man to his city, and every man to his own land.
37 Kamano ruoth notho kendo nokele Samaria moike kanyo.
So the king died, and was brought to Samaria; and they buried the king in Samaria.
38 Ne gilwoko garino e yawo moro Samaria (kama ochode lwokoree), kendo guogi nonangʼo rembe, mana kaka wach Jehova Nyasaye nosewacho.
And the chariot was washed out at the pool of Samaria; and the dogs licked up his blood, as they washed his armor: according to the word of the Lord which he had spoken.
39 Timbe mamoko mag loch Ahab kaachiel gi gik moko duto mane otimo, gi dala ruoth maduongʼ mane ogero mobawo gi lak liech kod mier mane ochielo gi ohinga, donge ondikgi e kitap rapar mar ruodhi Israel?
Now the rest of the acts of Achab, and all that he did, and the ivory house which he built, and all the cities that he built, behold, they are written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel.
40 Ahab noyweyo gi kwerene, kendo Ahazia wuode nokawo lochne kaka ruoth.
So Achab slept with his fathers: and Achazyahu his son became king in his stead.
41 Jehoshafat wuod Asa nodoko ruodh Juda e higa mar angʼwen mar Ahab ruodh Israel.
And Jehoshaphat the son of Assa became king over Judah in the fourth year of Achab the king of Israel.
42 Jehoshafat ne ja-higni piero adek gabich kane obedo ruoth kendo norito piny kodak Jerusalem kuom higni piero adek gabich. Min mare ne nyinge Azuba nyar Shilhi.
Jehoshaphat was thirty and five years old when he became king, and twenty and five years did he reign in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was 'Azubah the daughter of Shilchi.
43 E gik moko duto noluwo yore Asa wuon mare kendo ne ok oweyogi, nimar notimo gima kare e nyim Jehova Nyasaye. To kata kamano kuonde motingʼore gi malo mag lemo ne ok omuki kendo ji nodhi nyime mana gi chiwo misengini kendo wangʼo ubani.
And he walked in all the ways of Assa his father; he turned not aside from it, doing what is right in the eyes of the Lord: Nevertheless the high-places were not removed; for the people still offered, and burnt incense on the high-places.
44 Jehoshafat bende ne nigi kwe gi ruodh Israel.
And Jehoshaphat made peace with the king of Israel.
45 Gik mamoko manotimore ndalo loch Jehoshafat gi gik mane otimo kaachiel gi humbe lwenjene, donge ondikgi e kitepe rapar mar ruodhi Juda?
Now the rest of the acts of Jehoshaphat, and his mighty deeds that he showed, and how he warred, behold, they are written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah.
46 Noriembo jochode machwo mane ni kuonde motingʼore mag lemo mane otony e ndalo mag loch wuon-gi Asa.
And the remnant of the sodomites, that had been left in the days of his father Assa, did he put away out of the land.
47 E kindeno ne onge ruoth e piny Edom, jalupne ema ne ni e loch.
There was then no king in Edom: a deputy was king.
48 Koro Jehoshafat nohondho yiedhi mag ohala mondo odhi Ofir oom dhahabu to kata kamano ne ok gikwangʼ nikech ne gikethore kama iluongo ni Ezion Geber.
Jehoshaphat made Tharshish-ships to go to Ophir for gold; but they went not; for the ships were wrecked at 'Ezyon-geber.
49 E kindeno Ahazia wuod Ahab nowacho ni Jehoshafat niya, “Yie iwe joga okwangʼ gi jogi, to Jehoshafat nodagi.”
Then said Achazyahu the son of Achab unto Jehoshaphat, Let my servants go with thy servants in the ships. But Jehoshaphat would not.
50 Jehoshafat notho kaka kwerene kendo noyike but kwerene e dala maduongʼ mar Daudi wuon-gi. Kendo Jehoram wuode nobedo ruoth kare.
And Jehoshaphat slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David his father: and Jehoram his son became king in his stead.
51 Ahazia wuod Ahab nobedo ruodh Israel e Samaria e higa mar apar gabiriyo mar loch Jehoshafat ruodh Juda, kendo nobedo ruodh Israel higni ariyo.
Achazyahu the son of Achab became king over Israel in Samaria in the seventeenth year of Jehoshaphat, the king of Judah; and he reigned over Israel two years.
52 Notimo richo e nyim Jehova Nyasaye nikech nowuotho e yore mag wuon-gi gi min-gi kendo e yore mag Jeroboam wuod Nebat mane omiyo Israel otimo richo.
And he did what is evil in the eyes of the Lord, and walked in the way of his father, and in the way of his mother, and in the way of Jerobo'am the son of Nebat, who had induced Israel to sin.
53 Notiyo ni Baal kendo nolame mi nomiyo Jehova Nyasaye, Nyasach Israel, obedo gi mirima mana kaka wuon-gi nosetimo.
And he served Ba'al, and bowed down to him, and he provoked to anger the Lord the God of Israel, all just as his father had done.
