1 Kings 22
1 Then three years passed without war between Aram and Israel.
Kuom higni adek ne onge lweny e kind Israel gi Aram
2 However, in the third year, Jehoshaphat king of Judah went down to visit the king of Israel,
To e higa mar adek Jehoshafat ruodh Juda nodhi neno ruodh Israel.
3 who said to his servants, “Do you not know that Ramoth-gilead is ours, but we have failed to take it from the hand of the king of Aram?”
Ruodh Israel nosenyiso jodonge niya, “Donge ungʼeyo ni Ramoth Gilead en marwa to onge gima watimo mondo wakawe kuom ruodh Aram?”
4 So he asked Jehoshaphat, “Will you go with me to fight against Ramoth-gilead?” Jehoshaphat answered the king of Israel, “I am like you, my people are your people, and my horses are your horses.”
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.”
5 But Jehoshaphat also said to the king of Israel, “Please inquire first for the word of the LORD.”
To Jehoshafat bende nowachone ruodh Israel niya, “Mokwongo penj ane Jehova Nyasaye wachni.”
6 So the king of Israel assembled the prophets, about four hundred men, and asked them, “Should I go to war against Ramoth-gilead, or should I refrain?” “Go up,” they replied, “and the Lord will deliver it into the hand of the king.”
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.”
7 But Jehoshaphat asked, “Is there not still a prophet of the LORD here of whom we can inquire?”
To Jehoshafat nopenjo niya, “Donge nitie janabi mar Jehova Nyasaye ka ma dwapenj wach?”
8 The king of Israel answered, “There is still one man who can ask the LORD, but I hate him because he never prophesies anything good for me, but only bad. He is Micaiah son of Imlah.” “The king should not say that!” Jehoshaphat replied.
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.”
9 So the king of Israel called one of his officials and said, “Bring Micaiah son of Imlah at once.”
Omiyo ruodh Israel noluongo achiel kuom jodonge mowachone niya, “Dhi piyo iom Mikaya wuod Imla.”
10 Dressed in royal attire, the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat king of Judah were sitting on their thrones at the threshing floor by the entrance of the gate of Samaria, with all the prophets prophesying before them.
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.
11 Now Zedekiah son of Chenaanah had made for himself iron horns and declared, “This is what the LORD says: ‘With these you shall gore the Arameans until they are finished off.’”
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.’”
12 And all the prophets were prophesying the same, saying, “Go up to Ramoth-gilead and prosper, for the LORD will deliver it into the hand of the king.”
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.”
13 Then the messenger who had gone to call Micaiah instructed him, “Behold now, with one accord the words of the prophets are favorable to the king. So please let your words be like theirs, and speak favorably.”
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.”
14 But Micaiah said, “As surely as the LORD lives, I will speak whatever the LORD tells me.”
To Mikaya nowacho niya, “Akwongʼora gi nying Jehova Nyasaye mangima ni, anyalo mana nyise gima Jehova Nyasaye owachona.”
15 When Micaiah arrived, the king asked him, “Micaiah, should we go to war against Ramoth-gilead, or should we refrain?” “Go up and triumph,” Micaiah replied, “for the LORD will give it into the hand of the king.”
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.”
16 But the king said to him, “How many times must I make you swear not to tell me anything but the truth in the name of the LORD?”
Ruoth nowachone niya, “Nyaka karangʼo ma anaketi mondo ikwongʼrina gi nying Jehova Nyasaye ni iwacho adiera ma ok miriambo?”
17 So Micaiah declared: “I saw all Israel scattered on the hills like sheep without a shepherd. And the LORD said, ‘These people have no master; let each one return home in peace.’”
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.’”
18 Then the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, “Did I not tell you that he never prophesies good for me, but only bad?”
Ruodh Israel nowachone Jehoshafat niya, “Donge nawachoni ni ok okorna gik mabeyo, to okoro mana gik maricho?”
19 Micaiah continued, “Therefore hear 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.
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.
20 And the LORD said, ‘Who will entice Ahab to march up and fall at Ramoth-gilead?’ And one suggested this, and another that.
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.
21 Then a spirit came forward, stood before the LORD, and said, ‘I will entice him.’ ‘By what means?’ asked the LORD.
Mogik, roho marach nobiro mochungʼ e nyim Jehova Nyasaye mowacho ni, ‘Abiro hoye.’
22 And he replied, ‘I will go out and be a lying spirit in the mouths of all his prophets.’ ‘You will surely entice him and prevail,’ said the LORD. ‘Go and do it.’
“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.’
23 So you see, the LORD has put a lying spirit in the mouths of all these prophets of yours, and the LORD has pronounced disaster against you.”
“Omiyo koro sani Jehova Nyasaye oseketo roho mar miriambo e dho jonabigi duto. Jehova Nyasaye osengʼadoni buch masira.”
24 Then Zedekiah son of Chenaanah went up, struck Micaiah in the face, and demanded, “Which way did the Spirit of the LORD go when He departed from me to speak with you?”
Eka Zedekia wuod Kenana noa malo mopamo lemb Mikaya. Nopenje niya, “En yo mane ma Roho mar Jehova Nyasaye noluwo kobiro wuoyo kodi?”
25 Micaiah replied, “You will soon see, on that day when you go and hide in an inner room.”
Mikaya nodwoke niya, “Ibiro fwenyo chiengʼ ma iniring kidhi pondo e ot maiye.”
26 And the king of Israel declared, “Take Micaiah and return him to Amon the governor of the city and to Joash the king’s son,
Ruodh Israel nogolo chik niya, “Kawuru Mikaya kendo utere ir Amon jatend dala maduongʼ kendo ir Joash wuod ruoth,
27 and tell them that this is what the king says: ‘Put this man in prison and feed him only bread and water until I return safely.’”
kendo uwachne ni, ‘Gima ruoth wacho ema: Ket ngʼatni e od twech kendo kik imiye gimoro amora makmana makati kod pi nyaka aduogi kangima.’”
28 But Micaiah replied, “If you ever return safely, the LORD has not spoken through me.” Then he added, “Take heed, all you people!”
Mikaya nowachone niya, “Kidwogo kingima, to kara ok asewuoyo gi dho Jehova Nyasaye.” Bangʼe nomedo wacho niya, “Winjuru wechena, un ji duto!”
29 So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat king of Judah went up to Ramoth-gilead.
Omiyo ruodh Israel gi Jehoshafat ruodh Juda nodhi Ramoth Gilead.
30 And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, “I will disguise myself and go into battle, but you wear your royal robes.” So the king of Israel disguised himself and went into battle.
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.
31 Now the king of Aram had ordered his thirty-two chariot commanders, “Do not fight with anyone, small or great, except the king of Israel.”
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.”
32 When the chariot commanders saw Jehoshaphat, they said, “Surely this is the king of Israel!” So they turned to fight against him, but Jehoshaphat cried out.
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,
33 And when the chariot commanders saw that he was not the king of Israel, they turned back from pursuing him.
jotelo mariembo geche lweny noneno ni ok en ruodh Israel mi negiweyo lawe.
34 However, a certain man drew his bow without taking special aim, and he struck the king of Israel between the joints of his armor. So the king said to his charioteer, “Turn around and take me out of the battle, for I am badly wounded!”
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.”
35 The battle raged throughout that day, and the king was propped up in his chariot facing the Arameans. And the blood from his wound ran out onto the floor of the chariot, and that evening he died.
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.
36 As the sun was setting, the cry rang out in the army: “Every man to his own city, and every man to his own land!”
Kane ochopo podho chiengʼ ywak nowinjore e kind jolweny niya, ngʼato ka ngʼato odog e gwengʼ-gi kendo ngʼato ka ngʼato odog e pinygi.
37 So the king died and was brought to Samaria, where they buried him.
Kamano ruoth notho kendo nokele Samaria moike kanyo.
38 And the chariot was washed at the pool of Samaria where the prostitutes bathed, and the dogs licked up Ahab’s blood, according to the word that the LORD had spoken.
Ne gilwoko garino e yawo moro Samaria (kama ochode lwokoree), kendo guogi nonangʼo rembe, mana kaka wach Jehova Nyasaye nosewacho.
39 As for the rest of the acts of Ahab, along with all his accomplishments and the ivory palace and all the cities he built, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel?
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?
40 And Ahab rested with his fathers, and his son Ahaziah reigned in his place.
Ahab noyweyo gi kwerene, kendo Ahazia wuode nokawo lochne kaka ruoth.
41 In the fourth year of Ahab’s reign over Israel, Jehoshaphat son of Asa became king of Judah.
Jehoshafat wuod Asa nodoko ruodh Juda e higa mar angʼwen mar Ahab ruodh Israel.
42 Jehoshaphat was thirty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem twenty-five years. His mother’s name was Azubah daughter of Shilhi.
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.
43 And Jehoshaphat walked in all the ways of his father Asa; he did not turn away from them, but did what was right in the eyes of the LORD. The high places, however, were not removed; the people still sacrificed and burned incense on the high places.
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.
44 Jehoshaphat also made peace with the king of Israel.
Jehoshafat bende ne nigi kwe gi ruodh Israel.
45 As for the rest of the acts of Jehoshaphat, along with the might he exercised and how he waged war, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah?
Gik mamoko manotimore ndalo loch Jehoshafat gi gik mane otimo kaachiel gi humbe lwenjene, donge ondikgi e kitepe rapar mar ruodhi Juda?
46 He banished from the land the male shrine prostitutes who remained from the days of his father Asa.
Noriembo jochode machwo mane ni kuonde motingʼore mag lemo mane otony e ndalo mag loch wuon-gi Asa.
47 And there was no king in Edom; a deputy served as king.
E kindeno ne onge ruoth e piny Edom, jalupne ema ne ni e loch.
48 Jehoshaphat built ships of Tarshish to go to Ophir for gold, but they never set sail, because they were wrecked at Ezion-geber.
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.
49 At that time Ahaziah son of Ahab said to Jehoshaphat, “Let my servants sail with your servants,” but Jehoshaphat refused.
E kindeno Ahazia wuod Ahab nowacho ni Jehoshafat niya, “Yie iwe joga okwangʼ gi jogi, to Jehoshafat nodagi.”
50 And Jehoshaphat rested with his fathers and was buried with them in the city of his father David. And his son Jehoram reigned in his place.
Jehoshafat notho kaka kwerene kendo noyike but kwerene e dala maduongʼ mar Daudi wuon-gi. Kendo Jehoram wuode nobedo ruoth kare.
51 In the seventeenth year of Jehoshaphat’s reign over Judah, Ahaziah son of Ahab became king of Israel, and he reigned in Samaria two years.
Ahazia wuod Ahab nobedo ruodh Israel e Samaria e higa mar apar gabiriyo mar loch Jehoshafat ruodh Juda, kendo nobedo ruodh Israel higni ariyo.
52 And he did evil in the sight of the LORD and walked in the ways of his father and mother and of Jeroboam son of Nebat, who had caused Israel to sin.
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.
53 Ahaziah served and worshiped Baal, provoking the LORD, the God of Israel, to anger, just as his father had done.
Notiyo ni Baal kendo nolame mi nomiyo Jehova Nyasaye, Nyasach Israel, obedo gi mirima mana kaka wuon-gi nosetimo.
