2 Weche Mag Ndalo 18
1 Jehoshafat koro ne nigi mwandu mangʼeny kod huma malach, bende notimo winjruok gi Ahab kuom kend.
And Iehoshaphat had riches and honour in abundance, but he was ioyned in affinitie with Ahab.
2 Bangʼ higni moko nodhi Samaria limo Ahab. Ahab noyangʼone kaachiel gi joma ne ni kode rombe mangʼeny kod dhok, kendo nokwaye ni mondo oked gi jo-Ramoth Gilead.
And after certaine yeeres he went downe to Ahab to Samaria: and Ahab slew sheepe and oxen for him in great nomber, and for the people that he had with him, and entised him to goe vp vnto Ramoth Gilead.
3 Ahab ruodh jo-Israel nopenjo Jehoshafat ruodh Juda niya, “Ibiro dhi konya kedo gi jo-Ramoth Gilead?” Jehoshafat nodwoke niya, “Wan joka ngʼato achiel, kendo joga gin jogi, wabiro konyi kedo.”
And Ahab King of Israel saide vnto Iehoshaphat King of Iudah, Wilt thou goe with mee to Ramoth Gilead? And hee answered him, I am as thou art, and my people as thy people, and wee will ioyne with thee in the warre.
4 To Jehoshafat bende nowachone ruodh Israel niya, “Mokwongo penj ane Jehova Nyasaye wachni.”
And Iehoshaphat sayde vnto the King of Israel, Aske counsel, I pray thee, at the worde of the Lord this day.
5 Omiyo ruodh Israel nochoko jonabi kanyakla maromo ji mia angʼwen mopenjogi niya, “Bende wanyalo dhi kedo gi jo-Ramoth Gilead koso kik adhi?” Negidwoke niya, “Dhiuru nikech Nyasaye nochiwe e lwet ruoth.”
Therefore the King of Israel gathered of Prophets foure hundreth men, and sayde vnto them, Shall we goe to Ramoth Gilead to battel, or shall I cease? And they sayd, Go vp: for God shall deliuer it into the Kings hand.
6 To Jehoshafat nopenjo niya, “Donge nitie janabi mar Jehova Nyasaye ka ma dwapenj wach?”
But Iehoshaphat sayde, Is there heere neuer a Prophet more of the Lord that wee might inquire of him?
7 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 sayd vnto Iehoshaphat, There is yet one man, by whome wee may aske counsell of the Lord, but I hate him: for he doeth not prophesie good vnto me, but alway euil: it is Michaiah the sonne of Imla. Then Iehoshaphat said, Let not the King say so.
8 Omiyo ruodh Israel noluongo achiel kuom jodonge mowachone niya, “Dhi piyo iom Mikaya wuod Imla.”
And the King of Israel called an eunuche, and said, Call quickly Michaiah the sonne of Imla.
9 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 Iehoshaphat King of Iudah sate either of them on his throne clothed in their apparel: they sate euen in the threshing floore at the entring in of the gate of Samaria: and all the Prophets prophesied before them.
10 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 Zidkiah ye sonne of Chenaanah made him hornes of yron, and sayde, Thus sayth the Lord, With these shalt thou push the Aramites vntill thou hast consumed them.
11 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 vp to Ramoth Gilead, and prosper: for the Lord shall deliuer it into the hand of the King.
12 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 Michaiah, spake to him, saying, Beholde, the wordes of the Prophets declare good to the King with one accord: let thy word therefore, I pray thee, be like one of theirs, and speake thou good.
13 To Mikaya nowacho niya, “Akwongʼora gi nying Jehova Nyasaye mangima ni, anyalo mana nyise gima Nyasacha owacho.”
And Michaiah saide, As the Lord liueth, whatsoeuer my God saith, that will I speake.
14 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 ibiro chiwgi e lweti.”
So he came to the King, and the King said vnto him, Michaiah, shall we go to Ramoth Gilead to battel, or shall I leaue off? And he said, Goe yee vp, and prosper, and they shalbe deliuered into your hand.
15 Ruoth nowachone niya, “Nyaka karangʼo ma anaketi mondo ikwongʼrina gi nying Jehova Nyasaye ni iwacho adiera ma ok miriambo?”
And the King sayd to him, Howe oft shall I charge thee, that thou tell mee nothing but the trueth in the Name of the Lord?
16 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.’”
Then he said, I saw al Israel scattered in the mountaines, as sheepe that haue no shepheard: and the Lord sayd, These haue no Master: let them returne euery man to his house in peace.
17 Ruodh Israel nowachone Jehoshafat niya, “Donge nawachoni ni ok okorna gik mabeyo, to okoro mana gik maricho?”
And the King of Israel sayde to Iehoshaphat, Did I not tell thee, that he would not prophesie good vnto me, but euill?
18 Mikaya nodhi nyime kawacho niya, “Kuom mano winj wach Jehova Nyasaye: Naneno Jehova Nyasaye kobet e kom duongʼne gi jopolo duto ochungo e bathe korachwich gi koracham.
Againe hee saide, Therefore heare ye the worde of the Lord: I sawe the Lord sit vpon his throne, and all the hoste of heauen standing at his right hand, and at his left.
19 Kendo Jehova Nyasaye nowacho ni, ‘En ngʼa mabiro hoyo Ahab ruodh Israel mondo oked gi jo-Ramoth Gilead kendo onege kuno?’ “To ngʼato ka ngʼato nochiwo pache.
And the Lord sayd, Who shall perswade Ahab King of Israel, that he may go vp, and fall at Ramoth Gilead? And one spake and said thus, and another said that.
20 Mogik, roho marach nobiro mochungʼ e nyim Jehova Nyasaye mowacho ni, ‘Abiro hoye.’” Jehova Nyasaye nopenje niya, “Ere kaka ibiro hoye?”
Then there came forth a spirit and stoode before the Lord, and said, I will perswade him. And the Lord said vnto him, Wherein?
21 Nodwoko 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 saide, I will goe out, and bee a false spirit in the mouth of all his Prophets. And hee said, Thou shalt perswade, and shalt also preuaile: goe forth and do so.
22 “Omiyo koro sani Jehova Nyasaye oseketo roho mar miriambo e dho jonabigi. Jehova Nyasaye osengʼadoni buch masira.”
Now therefore behold, the Lord hath put a false spirit in the mouth of these thy Prophets, and the Lord hath determined euill against thee.
23 Eka Zedekia wuod Kenana noa malo mopamo lemb Mikaya. Nopenje niya, “En yo mane ma Roho mar Jehova Nyasaye noluwo kobiro wuoyo kodi?”
Then Zidkiah the sonne of Chenaanah came neere, and smote Michaiah vpon the cheeke, and sayde, By what way went the Spirit of the Lord from me, to speake with thee?
24 Mikaya nodwoke niya, “Ibiro fwenyo chiengʼ ma iniring kidhi pondo e ot maiye.”
And Michaiah saide, Behold, thou shalt see that day when thou shalt goe from chamber to chamber to hide thee.
25 Ruodh Israel nogolo chik niya, “Kawuru Mikaya kendo utere ir Amon jatend dala maduongʼ kendo ir Joash wuod ruoth,
And the King of Israel sayde, Take ye Michaiah, and cary him to Amon the gouernour of the citie, and to Ioash the Kings sonne,
26 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 saith the King, Put this man in the prison house, and feede him with bread of affliction and with water of affliction vntil I returne in peace.
27 Mikaya nowachone niya, “Kidwogo kingima, to kara ok asewuoyo gi dho Jehova Nyasaye.” Bangʼe nomedo wacho niya, “Winjuru wechena un ji duto!”
And Michaiah said, If thou returne in peace, the Lord hath not spoken by me. And he saide, Heare, all ye people.
28 Omiyo ruodh Israel gi Jehoshafat ruodh Juda nodhi Ramoth Gilead.
So the King of Israel and Iehoshaphat the King of Iudah went vp to Ramoth Gilead.
29 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 vnto Iehoshaphat, I will change my selfe, and enter into the battel: but put thou on thine apparel. So the King of Israel changed himselfe, and they went into the battel.
30 Ruodh jo-Aram nogolo chik ne jotende mariembo geche niya, “Kik uked gi ngʼato angʼata bed ni otin kata oduongʼ makmana ruodh Israel.”
And the King of Aram had commanded the captaines of the charets that were with him, saying, Fight you not with small, nor great, but against the King of Israel onely.
31 Kane jotelo mariembo geche lweny noneno Jehoshafat negiwacho e chunygi niya, “Nyaka bed ni ma e ruodh Israel.” Omiyo negilokore mondo giked kode, to kane Jehoshafat oywak, Jehova Nyasaye nokonye. Nyasaye nogologi kuome,
And when the captaines of the charets saw Iehoshaphat, they sayde, It is the King of Israel: and they compassed about him to fight. But Iehoshaphat cryed, and the Lord helped him and moued them to depart from him.
32 nikech kane jotelo mariembo geche lweny noneno ni ok en ruodh Israel, negiweyo lawe.
For when the captaines of the charets saw that hee was not the King of Israel, they turned backe from him.
33 To ngʼat moro noywayo atungʼ mare modiro asere ma nochwowo ruodh Israel e kind law lweny mane orwako. Ruoth nonyiso jariemb gari niya, “Lok garini mondo igola ka, nimar ahinyora marach.”
Then a certaine man drewe a bowe mightily, and smote the King of Israel betweene the ioyntes of his brigandine: Therefore he saide to his charetman, Turne thine hand, and carie mee out of the host: for I am hurt.
34 Odiechiengʼno duto lweny nomedo bedo mager kendo noten ruodh Israel e gache komanyore gi jo-Aram nyaka godhiambo mondo ojiw joge. Notho ka chiengʼ dhi podho.
And the battel increased that day: and the King of Israel stood still in his charet against the Aramites vntil euen, and dyed at the time of the sunne going downe.
