1 Kings 20
1 Now Ben-hadad king of Aram assembled his entire army. Accompanied by thirty-two kings with their horses and chariots, he marched up, besieged Samaria, and waged war against it.
Inummong ni Ben Hadad nga ari ti Aram iti amin nga armadana; adda tallopulo ket dua a basbassit ti iturturayanna nga ar-ari a kaduana, ken dagiti kabalio ken karwahe. Napan isuna, pinalawlawanda ti Samaria, ket nakirangetda.
2 Then he sent messengers into the city to Ahab king of Israel,
Nangibaon isuna kadagiti mensahero a mapan iti siudad kenni Ahab nga ari ti Israel, ket kinunada kenkuana, “Pinaibaga ni Ben Hadad daytoy:
3 saying, “This is what Ben-hadad says: ‘Your silver and gold are mine, and your best wives and children are mine!’”
'Kukuak ti pirak ken balitokmo. Kasta met dagiti assawa ken annakmo, dagiti kasasayaatan, ket kukuak itan.'”
4 And the king of Israel replied, “Just as you say, my lord the king: I am yours, along with all that I have.”
Insungbat ti ari ti Israel ket kinunana, “Matungpal ti imbagam, amok, nga ari. Siak ken amin nga adda kaniak ket kukuam.”
5 The messengers came back and said, “This is what Ben-hadad says: ‘I have sent to you to demand your silver, your gold, your wives, and your children.
Immay manen dagiti mensahero ket kinunada, “Pinaibaga ni Ben Hadad daytoy, 'Nangipatulodak kenka iti sao a mangibagbaga a nasken nga iyawatmo kaniak ti pirakmo, ti balitokmo, dagiti assawam, ken dagiti annakmo.
6 But about this time tomorrow I will send my servants to search your palace and the houses of your servants. They will seize and carry away all that is precious to you.’”
Ngem ibaonkonto kenka dagiti adipenko inton bigat iti kastoy met laeng nga oras, ket sukimatendanto ti balaymo ken dagiti balay dagiti adipenmo. Alaen ken ipanawdanto ti aniaman a makaay-ayo iti imatangda.”'
7 Then the king of Israel summoned all the elders of the land and said, “Please take note and see that this man is looking for trouble, for when he demanded my wives, my children, my silver, and my gold, I did not deny him.”
Ket pinaayaban ti ari ti Israel dagiti amin a panglakayen ti daga ket kinunana, ““Pangngaasiyo ta tandaanan ken kitaenyo no kasano nga agbirbirok iti riribuk daytoy a tao. Nangipatulod isuna iti sao kaniak tapno alaenna dagiti assawak, dagiti annakko, ken ti pirak, ken balitok, ket saanak a nagkedked kenkuana.”
8 And the elders and the people all said, “Do not listen to him or consent to his terms.”
Kinuna dagiti amin a panglakayen ken dagiti amin a tattao kenni Ahab, “Saanka a dumngeg kenkuana wenno patgan ti dawdawatenna.
9 So Ahab answered the messengers of Ben-hadad, “Tell my lord the king, ‘All that you demanded of your servant the first time I will do, but this thing I cannot do.’” So the messengers departed and relayed the message to Ben-hadad.
Kinuna ngarud ni Ahab kadagiti mensahero ni Ben Hadad, “Ibagayo iti amok nga ari, 'Umanamongak iti amin nga immuna nga impaibagam iti adipenmo nga aramiden, ngem saanko a mapatgan daytoy maikadua a kiddawmo.”' Pimmanaw ngarud dagiti mensahero ket indanonda daytoy a sungbat kenni Ben Hadad.
10 Then Ben-hadad sent another message to Ahab: “May the gods deal with me, and ever so severely, if enough dust remains of Samaria for each of my men to have a handful.”
Ket impatulod ni Ben Hadad kadagiti mensaherona ti sungbatna kenni Ahab, ket kinunana, “Patayendak koma dagiti dios ken ad-adda pay iti dakes nga aramidenda kaniak, no uray dagiti dapo iti Samaria ket umanayto a rakemen dagiti tattao a sumursurot kaniak.”
11 And the king of Israel replied, “Tell him: ‘The one putting on his armor should not boast like one taking it off.’”
Insungbat ti ari ti Israel ket kinunana, “Ibagam kenni Ben Hadad, 'Awan ti siasinoman nga agpangas a mangisusuot pay laeng iti kabalna a kasla us-usubennan daytoy.'”
12 Ben-hadad received this message while he and the kings were drinking in their tents, and he said to his servants, “Take your positions.” So they stationed themselves against the city.
Nangngeg ni Ben Hadad daytoy a mensahe bayat nga agin-inom isuna, ken dagiti ari iti babaenna nga adda kadagiti toldada. Binilin ni Ben Hadad dagiti tattaona, “Agsaganakayo para iti gubat.” Nagsaganada ngarud a makigubat tapno rautenda ti siudad.
13 Meanwhile a prophet approached Ahab king of Israel and declared, “This is what the LORD says: ‘Do you see this entire great army? Behold, I will deliver it into your hand this very day, and you will know that I am the LORD.’”
Ket adtoy, immay ti maysa a profeta kenni Ahab nga ari ti Israel ket kinunana. “Ibagbaga ni Yahweh, 'Makitam kadi daytoy nabileg nga armada? Kitaem, iyawatko kenka ita nga aldaw, ket maammoamto a siak ni Yahweh.”'
14 “By whom?” Ahab asked. And the prophet replied, “This is what the LORD says: ‘By the young officers of the district governors.’” “Who will start the battle?” asked Ahab. “You will,” answered the prophet.
Insungbat ni Ahab, “Siasino ti mangparmek?” Insungbat ni Yahweh ket kinunana, “Babaen kadagiti agtutubo nga opisial nga agserserbi kadagiti gobernador dagiti distrito.” Ket kinuna ni Ahab, “Siasino ti mangirugi iti gubat?” Simmungbat ni Yahweh, “Sika.”
15 So Ahab assembled the young officers of the district governors, and there were 232 men. And after them, he assembled the rest of the Israelite troops, 7,000 in all.
Ket inummong ni Ahab dagiti agtutubo nga opisial nga agserserbi kadagiti gobernador dagiti distrito. Dua gasut ken tallopulo ket dua ti bilangda. Kalpasanda, inummongna met amin a soldado, amin ti armada ti Israel, pito ribu amin ti bilangda.
16 They marched out at noon while Ben-hadad and the 32 kings allied with him were in their tents getting drunk.
Rimmuarda iti katengngaan ti aldaw. Madama nga agbarbartek ni Ben Hadad iti toldana, kaduana dagiti tallopulo ket dua a basbassit ti iturturayanna nga ar-ari a mangtultulong kenkuana.
17 And the young officers of the district governors marched out first. Now Ben-hadad had sent out scouts, who reported to him, “Men are marching out of Samaria.”
Immuna a napan dagiti agtutubo nga opisial nga agserserbi kadagiti gobernador dagiti distrito. Ket napakaammoan ni Ben Hadad babaen kadagiti agsawsawar nga imbaonna, “Um-umay dagiti lallaki a naggapu iti Samaria.”
18 “If they have marched out in peace,” he said, “take them alive. Even if they have marched out for war, take them alive.”
Kinuna ni Ben Hadad, “Tiliwenyo ida a sibibiag uray no umayda a makikapia wenno makigubat.”
19 Meanwhile, these young officers of the district governors marched out of the city, with the army behind them,
Rimmuar ngarud iti siudad dagiti agtutubo nga opisial nga agserserbi kadagiti gobernador dagiti distrito, ket sinurot ida ti armada.
20 and each one struck down his opponent. So the Arameans fled, with the Israelites in pursuit. But Ben-hadad king of Aram escaped on horseback with the cavalry.
Pinatay ti tunggal maysa ti kabusorna, ket naglibas dagiti taga-Aram; kinamat ida ti Israel. Nagkabalio a naglibas ni Ben Hadad nga ari ti Aram a kaduana dagiti sumagmamano a nakakabalio.
21 Then the king of Israel marched out and attacked the horses and chariots, inflicting a great slaughter on the Arameans.
Ket rimmuar ti ari ti Israel ken dinarupna dagiti nakakabalio ken nakakarwahe, ket adu ti pinapatayna a taga- Aram.
22 Afterward, the prophet approached the king of Israel and said, “Go and strengthen your position, and take note what you must do, for in the spring the king of Aram will come up against you.”
Isu nga immay ti maysa a profeta iti ari ti Israel ket kinunana kenkuana, “Mapanka, papigsaem ti bagim, ket adalem ken planoem ti aramidem, gapu ta iti sumaruno a tawen agsubli manen ti ari ti Aram a bumusor kenka.”
23 Meanwhile, the servants of the king of Aram said to him, “Their gods are gods of the hills. That is why they prevailed over us. Instead, we should fight them on the plains; surely then we will prevail.
Kinuna kenkuana dagiti adipen ti ari ti Aram, “Ti diosda ket dios ti katurturodan. Isu a napigpigsada ngem datayo. Ngem ita makirangettayo kadakuada iti patad, ket awan dua dua a sadiay, napigpigsatayo ngem isuda.
24 So do this: Dismiss all the kings from their positions and replace them with other officers.
Ket aramidem pay daytoy: ikkatem dagiti ari, tunggal maysa iti idadauloanna, ket sukatam ida kadagiti kapitan ti armada.
25 And you must raise an army like the one you have lost—horse for horse and chariot for chariot—so we can fight the Israelites on the plain, where we will surely prevail.” And the king approved their plan and acted accordingly.
Mangbuangayka iti armada a kas iti armada a napukawmo, kabalio iti kabalio ken karwahe iti karwahe, ket makirangettayo kadakuada iti patad. Ket awan dua dua a napigpigsatayo ngem isuda.” Demngeg ngarud ni Ben Hadad iti balakadda ket inaramidna ti insingasingda.
26 In the spring, Ben-hadad mobilized the Arameans and went up to Aphek to fight against Israel.
Iti sumaruno a tawen, inummong ni Ben Hadad dagiti taga-Aram ket napanda idiay Afek tapno makirangetda iti Israel.
27 The Israelites also mobilized, gathered supplies, and marched out to meet them. The Israelites camped before them like two small flocks of goats, while the Arameans covered the countryside.
Nagu-ummong dagiti tattao ti Israel ket naipaay kadakuada dagiti banbanag a kasapulanda a makiranget kadagiti taga-Aram. Nagkampo dagiti tattao ti Israel iti sangoananda a kasla dua a babassit nga arban dagiti kalding, ngem pinunno dagiti taga-Aram ti away.
28 Then the man of God approached the king of Israel and said, “This is what the LORD says: ‘Because the Arameans think the LORD is a god of the hills and not of the valleys, I will deliver all this great army into your hand. Then you will know that I am the LORD.’”
Ket immasideg ti maysa a tao ti Dios ket nakitungtong iti ari ti Israel a kunana, “Ibagbaga ni Yahweh: 'Gapu ta imbaga dagiti taga-Aram a ni Yahweh ket dios dagiti turod, ngem saan isuna a dios dagiti tanap, iyawatko daytoy nabileg nga armada kadagita imam, ket maammoamto a Siak ni Yahweh.”'
29 For seven days the armies camped opposite each other, and on the seventh day the battle ensued, and the Israelites struck down the Arameans—a hundred thousand foot soldiers in one day.
Nagkampo ngarud a nagsinnango dagiti armada iti pito nga aldaw. Ket iti maikapito nga aldaw nangrugin ti gubat. Pinapatay dagiti tattao ti Israel ti sangagasut a ribu a soldado dagiti taga-Aram iti maysa laeng nga aldaw.
30 The rest of them fled into the city of Aphek, where the wall fell on twenty-seven thousand of the remaining men. Ben-hadad also fled to the city and hid in an inner room.
Naglibas dagiti nabatbati idiay Afek, iti siudad, ket narba a naigabur ti pader kadagiti dua pulo ket pito a ribu a nabatbati a lallaki. Naglibas ni Ben Hadad ket napan iti siudad, iti akin uneg a siled.
31 Then the servants of Ben-hadad said to him, “Look now, we have heard that the kings of the house of Israel are merciful. Let us go out to the king of Israel with sackcloth around our waists and ropes around our heads. Perhaps he will spare your life.”
Kinuna dagiti adipen ni Ben Hadad kenkuana, “Dumngegka, nangngegmi a dagiti ari iti balay ti Israel ket manangngaasi nga ar-ari. Pangngaasim ta palubosanakami a mangibidang iti nakirsang a lupot ken bedbedanmi iti tali ti ulomi, ket mapankami iti ari ti Israel. Barbareng no saannaka a papatayen.”
32 So with sackcloth around their waists and ropes around their heads, they went to the king of Israel and said, “Your servant Ben-hadad says, ‘Please spare my life.’” And the king answered, “Is he still alive? He is my brother.”
Nangibidangda ngarud iti nakirsang a lupot ken binedbedanda ti uloda iti tali ket napanda iti ari ti Israel ket kinunada, “Imbaga ti adipenmo a ni Ben Hadad, 'Pangngaasim ta palubusannak nga agbiag.”' Kinuna ni Ahab, “Sibibiag pay kadi isuna? Kabsatko isuna.”
33 Now the men were looking for a sign of hope, and they quickly grasped at this word and replied, “Yes, your brother Ben-hadad.” “Go and get him!” said the king. Then Ben-hadad came out, and Ahab had him come up into his chariot.
Ita dumdumngeg dagiti lallaki iti aniaman a pagilasinan manipud kenni Ahab, isu nga insungbatda a dagus kenkuana, “Wen, sibibiag ti kabsatmo a ni Ben Hadad.” Ket kinuna ni Ahab, “Mapankayo ket iyegyo isuna.” Ket napan ni Ben Hadad kenkuana, ket pinaglugan isuna ni Ahab iti karwahena.
34 Ben-hadad said to him, “I will restore the cities my father took from your father; you may set up your own marketplaces in Damascus, as my father did in Samaria.” “By this treaty I release you,” Ahab replied. So he made a treaty with him and sent him away.
Kinuna ni Ben Hadad kenni Ahab, “Isublik kenka dagiti siudad nga inagaw ti amak iti amam, ket mabalinmo iti aglako idiay Damasco, a kas iti inaramid ti amak idiay Samaria. Insungbat ni Ahab, “Palubosanka babaen iti daytoy a katulagan.” Nakitulag ngarud ni Ahab kenkuana ket kalpasanna pinalubosanna isuna a mapan.
35 Meanwhile, by the word of the LORD, one of the sons of the prophets said to his companion, “Strike me, please!” But the man refused to strike him.
Adda maysa a lalaki, maysa kadagiti annak a lallaki dagiti profeta, a kinunana iti padana a profeta babaen iti sao ni Yahweh, “Pangngaasim ta kabilennak.” Ngem nagkedked ti lalaki a mangkabil kenkuana.
36 Then the prophet said to him, “Because you have not obeyed the voice of the LORD, as soon as you depart from me a lion will kill you.” And when he left, a lion found him and killed him.
Ket kinuna ti profeta iti padana a profeta, “Gapu ta saanka a nagtulnog iti timek ni Yahweh, apaman a panawannak, patayennakanto ti maysa a leon.” Ket apaman a pinanawan isuna dayta a tao, nasarakan isuna ti leon ket pinatay isuna ti leon.
37 Then the prophet found another man and said, “Strike me, please!” So the man struck him and wounded him,
Ket nakasarak ti profeta iti sabali pay a tao ket kinunana, “Pangngaasim ta kabilennak.” Isu a kinabil isuna ti lalaki ket sinugatanna isuna.
38 and the prophet went and waited on the road for the king, disguising himself with a bandage over his eyes.
Ket pimmanaw ti profeta ket inurayna ti ari iti igid ti dalan; nanglimlimo isuna nga adda bedbed iti ngatoen dagiti matana.
39 As the king passed by, he cried out to the king: “Your servant had marched out into the middle of the battle, when suddenly a man came over with a captive and told me, ‘Guard this man! If he goes missing for any reason, your life will be exchanged for his life, or you will weigh out a talent of silver.’
Idi lumabasen ti ari, pinukkawan ti profeta ti ari ket kinunana, “Napan ti adipenmo iti kangitingitan ti gubat, ket nagsardeng iti maysa a soldado ket inyegna ti maysa a kabusor kaniak ket kinunana, 'Bantayam daytoy a tao. No mapukaw daytoy iti aniaman a wagas, ti biagmo ngarud ti kasukat ti biagna, wenno agmultaka iti maysa a talento ti pirak.'
40 But while your servant was busy here and there, the man disappeared.” And the king of Israel said to him, “So shall your judgment be; you have pronounced it on yourself.”
Ngem gapu ta adu ti pakakumikoman ti adipenmo, nakalibas ti kabusor a soldado.” Ket kinuna ti ari ti Israel kenkuana, “Daytoyto ti dusam-sika a mismo ti nangikeddeng iti daytoy.”
41 Then the prophet quickly removed the bandage from his eyes, and the king of Israel recognized him as one of the prophets.
Inikkat a dagus ti profeta ti bedbed dagiti matana, ket nabigbig ti ari ti Israel nga isuna ket maysa kadagiti profeta.
42 And the prophet said to the king, “This is what the LORD says: ‘Because you have let slip from your hand the man I had devoted to destruction, your life will be exchanged for his life, and your people for his people.’”
Kinuna ti profeta iti ari, “Ibagbaga ni Yahweh, 'Gapu ta pinalubosam ti tao nga inkeddengko a matay, ti biagmo ti kasukat ti biagna, ken dagiti tattaom kadagiti tattaona.'”
43 Sullen and angry, the king of Israel went home to Samaria.
Napan ngarud ti ari ti Israel iti balayna a nasakit ti nakemna ken makapungtot, ket nakasangpet idiay Samaria.
