2 Ruodhi 3
1 Joram wuod Ahab nobedo ruodh Israel e piny Samaria e higa mar apar gaboro mar kinde loch Jehoshafat ruodh Juda kendo nobedo e loch higni apar gariyo.
Now Jehoram the son of Ahab began to reign over Israel in Samaria in the eighteenth year of Jehoshaphat king of Judah, and reigned twelve years.
2 Ne otimo richo e wangʼ Jehova Nyasaye, to ok kaka wuon kod min notimo. Noketho kido milamo mar Baal mane wuon oseloso.
He did that which was evil in the sight of YHWH, but not like his father, and like his mother; for he put away the pillar of Baal that his father had made.
3 Kata kamano ne osiko e richo mar Jeroboam wuod Nebat, mane omiyogo jo-Israel odonjo e richo; kendo ne ok oweyogi kata matin.
Nevertheless he held to the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, with which he made Israel to sin; he did not depart from it.
4 Mesha ruodh Moab ne japith rombe, kendo ne ojagolo osuru ne ruodh Israel maromo nyirombe alufu mia achiel kod yie imbe maromo alufu mia achiel.
Now Mesha king of Moab was a sheep breeder; and he rendered to the king of Israel the wool of one hundred thousand lambs, and of one hundred thousand rams.
5 To bangʼ tho Ahab, ruodh Moab nongʼanyo ne ruodh Israel.
But it happened, when Ahab was dead, that the king of Moab rebelled against the king of Israel.
6 Omiyo Ruoth Joram noa Samaria mochoko jo-Israel duto.
King Jehoram went out of Samaria at that time, and mustered all Israel.
7 Bende nooro wach ni Jehoshafat ruodh Juda kowachone niya, “Ruodh Moab osengʼanyona. Bende diyie dhi koda mondo waked kodgi?” Nodwoko niya, “Abiro dhi kodi. An mana kaka in, joga gin kaka jogi, kendo faresena gin kaka faresegi.”
He went and sent to Jehoshaphat the king of Judah, saying, "The king of Moab has rebelled against me. Will you go with me against Moab to battle?" He said, "I will go up. I am as you are, my people as your people, my horses as your horses."
8 Nopenjo niya, “Wadhi monje koa kon mane?” Nodwoke niya, “Ka wangʼado e piny ongoro mar Edom.”
He said, "Which way shall we go up?" He answered, "The way of the wilderness of Edom."
9 Eka ruodh Israel nowuok ka gin kod ruodh Juda kendo gi ruodh Ekron e piny Edom. Kane giselworore kuom ndalo abiriyo, jolweny ne onge gi pi mar modho kata mag jamni mane oyudo gin-go.
So the king of Israel went, and the king of Judah, and the king of Edom; and they made a circuit of seven days' journey. There was no water for the army, nor for the animals that followed them.
10 Ruodh Israel nopenjore niya, “Angʼo matimoreni! Jehova Nyasaye osekelowa ka ruodhi adekgi duto mondo ochiw-wa e lwet Moab?”
The king of Israel said, "Alas. For YHWH has called these three kings together to deliver them into the hand of Moab."
11 Jehoshafat nopenjo niya, “Onge janabi mar Jehova Nyasaye ka mondo, mi wapenje wach mar Jehova Nyasaye?” Jatelo mar ruodh Israel nodwoke niya, “Elisha wuod Shafat mane tiyone Elija nika.”
But Jehoshaphat said, "Isn't there here a prophet of YHWH, that we may inquire of YHWH by him?" One of the king of Israel's servants answered, "Elisha the son of Shaphat is here, who poured water on the hands of Elijah."
12 Jehoshafat nowacho niya, “Jalno en ngʼat man-gi wach Jehova Nyasaye.” Omiyo ruodh Israel, Jehoshafat kod ruodh Edom nolor modhi ire.
And Jehoshaphat said, "The word of YHWH is with him." So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat king of Judah and the king of Edom went down to him.
13 Elisha nopenjo ruodh Israel niya, “Angʼo madikelwa kaachiel?” Dhiuru ir jonabi mag wuonu kod minu. Ruodh Israel nodwoke niya, “Ooyo, Jehova Nyasaye ema osekelowa wan ruodhi adek kanyakla mondo ochiw-wa e lwet jo-Moab.”
Elisha said to the king of Israel, "What have I to do with you? Go to the prophets of your father, and to the prophets of your mother." The king of Israel said to him, "No; for YHWH has called these three kings together to deliver them into the hand of Moab."
14 Elisha nowacho niya, “Akwongʼora gi nying Jehova Nyasaye Maratego ma atiyone, ni ka dine bed ni ok ageno Jehoshafat ruodh Juda, to dine ok ayudo thuolo mar wuoyo kodi kata dewi
Elisha said, "As YHWH of hosts lives, before whom I stand, surely, were it not that I respect the presence of Jehoshaphat the king of Judah, I would not look toward you, nor see you.
15 To koro kelnauru ngʼat magoyo nyatiti.” Kane oyudo ogoyo nyatiti teko mar Jehova Nyasaye ne obiro ir Elisha,
But now bring me a minstrel." It happened, when the minstrel played, that the hand of YHWH came on him.
16 mowacho niya, “Jehova Nyasaye wacho kama: Kunyuru buche mathoth e holoni.
He said, "Thus says YHWH, 'Make this valley full of trenches.'
17 Nimar ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye wacho: Ok unuwinj yamo kata neno koth, to kata kamano holoni biro pongʼ gi pi kendo un, jambu, gi chiayo mamoko nomodh ka.
For thus says YHWH, 'You will not see wind, neither will you see rain; yet that valley shall be filled with water, and you will drink, both you and your livestock and your animals.
18 Ma en gima yot ahinya e wangʼ Jehova Nyasaye, nimar jo-Moab obiro chiwo e lwetu.
This is but a light thing in the sight of YHWH. He will also deliver the Moabites into your hand.
19 Ubiro loyo mier madongo mochiel motegno kod mier mamoko duto. Ubiro tongʼo yiende mabeyo duto, unudin sokni kendo unupongʼ puothe mabeyo gi kite.”
You shall strike every fortified city, and every choice city, and shall fell every good tree, and stop all springs of water, and mar every good piece of land with stones.'"
20 Kinyne gokinyi, kar seche mitimoe misango, pi nobiro koa yo Edom kendo gwengʼno notimo pi lilo.
It happened in the morning, about the time of offering the offering, that look, water came by the way of Edom, and the country was filled with water.
21 Jo-Moab duto nowinjo ni ruodhi ka osebiro mondo oked kodgi, omiyo ngʼato ka ngʼato, obed ngʼat matin kata ngʼat maduongʼ mane nyalo tingʼo gige lweny noluongi mi oketi e tongʼ.
Now when all the Moabites heard that the kings had come up to fight against them, they gathered themselves together, all who were able to put on armor, and upward, and stood on the border.
22 E seche mane gichiewo gokinyi mangʼich, chiengʼ ne rieny kendo ler mar chiengʼ ne nenore ewi pi. Jo-Moab mane ni loka machielo, ne pigno nenorenegi makwar ka remo.
They rose up early in the morning, and the sun shone on the water, and the Moabites saw the water over against them as red as blood.
23 Negiwacho niya, “Macha remo! Nyaka bed ni ruodhigo osekedo kendgi giwegi monegore. Koro wadhi wayak Moab!”
They said, "This is blood. The kings are surely destroyed, and they have struck each other. Now therefore, Moab, to the spoil."
24 To ka jo-Moab nobiro e kambi mar Israel; jo-Israel nowuok mokedo kodgi nyaka negiringo. Omiyo jo-Israel nomonjo pinyno monego jo-Moab.
When they came to the camp of Israel, the Israelites rose up and struck the Moabites, so that they fled before them; and they went forward into the land smiting the Moabites.
25 Negiketho miech Moab kendo ngʼato ka ngʼato ne odiro kidi e puothe duto mabeyo nyaka kite nopongʼogi. Negidino sokni duto kendo negitingʼo yiende duto mabeyo. Kir Hareseth kendo ema ne odongʼ gi kitene kochungʼ, to ji man-gi orujre noluore mi omonje bende.
They beat down the cities; and on every good piece of land they cast every man his stone, and filled it; and they stopped all the springs of water, and felled all the good trees, until in Kir Hareseth only they left its stones; however the men armed with slings went about it, and struck it.
26 Kane ruodh Moab oneno ka lweny loye, ne odhi gi ji mia abiriyo man kod ligangla, kotemo muomogo ruodh Edom mondo otony; to ne otamogi.
When the king of Moab saw that the battle was too severe for him, he took with him seven hundred men who drew sword, to break through to the king of Edom; but they could not.
27 Kuom mano nokawo wuode makayo, mane onego okaw ruoth kare mi otimogo misango e kor ohinga mar dala maduongʼ. Mirima maduongʼ nomako jo-Israel; kendo mano nomiyo giweyo kedo kodgi mi gidok e pinygi.
Then he took his eldest son who would have reigned in his place, and offered him for a burnt offering on the wall. There was great wrath against Israel: and they departed from him, and returned to their own land.
