< 2 Chronicles 18 >

1 Now Jehoshaphat had riches and honor in abundance, and he allied himself with Ahab by marriage.
Ita, bimmaknang ken mararaem iti kasta unay ni Jehosafat; nakigayyem isuna kenni Ahab babaen iti panangipaasawana iti maysa kadagiti pamiliana iti putot a babai ni Ahab.
2 And some years later he went down to visit Ahab in Samaria, where Ahab sacrificed many sheep and cattle for him and the people with him, and urged him to march up to Ramoth-gilead.
Kalpasan iti sumagmamano a tawen, simmalog isuna iti ayan ni Ahab idiay Samaria. Nangparti ni Ahab iti adu a karnero ken baka para kenkuana ken kadagiti tattao a kaduana. Inallukoy met isuna ni Ahab a makikadua kenkuana a mangraut iti Ramot Galaad.
3 Ahab king of Israel asked Jehoshaphat king of Judah, “Will you go with me against Ramoth-gilead?” And Jehoshaphat replied, “I am like you, and my people are your people; we will join you in the war.”
Kinuna ni Ahab nga ari ti Israel kenni Jehosafat nga ari ti Juda, “Sumurotka kadi kaniak idiay Ramot Galaad?” Insungbat ni Jehosafat iti ari ti Israel, “Kaslaak kenka, ken dagiti tattaok ket kasla kadagiti tattaom; kaduaandakayonto a makigubat.”
4 But Jehoshaphat also said to the king of Israel, “Please inquire first for the word of the LORD.”
Kinuna ni Jehosafat iti ari ti Israel, “Pangaasim ta ammoem pay nga umuna ti ibaga ni Yahweh para iti sungbatmo.”
5 So the king of Israel assembled the prophets, four hundred men, and asked them, “Should we go to war against Ramoth-gilead, or should we refrain?” “Go up,” they replied, “and God will deliver it into the hand of the king.”
Ket inummong ti ari ti Israel dagiti profetana, 400 a lallaki, ket kinunana kadakuada, “Mapanmi kadi rauten ti Ramot Galaad wenno saan? Kinunada, “Rautenyo, ta pagballigiento ti Dios ti ari.”
6 But Jehoshaphat asked, “Is there not still a prophet of the LORD here of whom we can inquire?”
Ngem kinuna ni Jehosafat, “Awan kadin ditoy ti sabali pay a profeta ni Yahweh a mabalintayo a pagkiddawan iti balakad?”
7 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.
Kinuna ti ari ti Israel kenni Jehosafat, “Adda pay maysa a tao a mabalintayo a pagdawatan iti balakad manipud kenni Yahweh, ni Micaias a putot ni Imla, ngem kagurgurak isuna ta saan a pulos a mangipadto iti aniaman a nasayaat a banag maipanggep kaniak, ngem ketdi pasig a kinarigat laeng.” Ngem kinuna ni Jehosafat, “Saan koma nga ibaga ti ari dayta.”
8 So the king of Israel called one of his officials and said, “Bring Micaiah son of Imlah at once.”
Ket nangayab ti ari ti Israel iti opisial ket binilinna, “Iyegyo itan ni Micaias a putot ni Imla.”
9 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.
Ita, nakatugaw ni Ahab nga ari ti Israel ken ni Jehosafat nga ari ti Juda kadagiti tronoda, nakakawesda kadagiti pagan-anayda a kas ari, iti nawaya a lugar iti pagserkan ti ruangan ti Samaria, ket agipadpadto dagiti amin a profeta, iti sangoananda.
10 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.’”
Nangaramid ni Zedekias a putot ni Kenaana iti sinan-sara a landok ket kinunana, “Kastoy ti imbaga ni Yahweh: 'Babaen kadagitoy maparmekyonto dagiti taga-Aram agingga a maibusda.”
11 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.”
Ket kasta met laeng ti impadto dagiti amin a profeta, a kunada, “Rautenyo ti Ramot Galaad ket agballigikayo, ta inyawat daytoy ni Yahweh iti ima ti ari.”
12 Then the messenger who had gone to call Micaiah instructed him, “Behold, with one accord the words of the prophets are favorable to the king. So please let your words be like theirs, and speak favorably.”
Nakisao kenni Micaias ti mensahero a napan nangayab kenkuana, a kunana, “Ita dumngegka, pasig a nasayaat a banbanag dagiti sasao nga imbaga dagiti profeta ti ari. Pangngaasim ta ibagam koma ti kas iti imbaga ti maysa kadakuada ket nasayaat a banbanag ti ibagam.”
13 But Micaiah said, “As surely as the LORD lives, I will speak whatever my God tells me.”
Insungbat ni Micaias, “Iti nagan ni Yahweh nga adda iti agnanayon, no ania ti ibaga ni Yahweh kaniak ti sawek.”
14 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 they will be given into your hand.”
Idi napan isuna iti ayan ti ari, kinuna ti ari kenkuana, “Micaias, mapanmi kadi rauten ti Ramot Galaad, wenno saan?” Insungbat ni Micaias, “Rautem ket agballigika! Ta dakkelto daytoy a balligi.”
15 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?”
Ket kinuna ti ari kenkuana, “Namin-ano a daras nga imbagak kenka nga isapatam a ti laeng kinapudno ti ibagam kaniak iti nagan ni Yahweh?”
16 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.’”
Isu a kinuna ni Micaias, “Nakitak ti entero nga Israel a nawarawara kadagiti banbantay, kasda la karnero nga awan mangipaspastor, ket kinuna ni Yahweh, 'Awan mangipaspastor kadagitoy. Agsubli koma ti tunggal maysa iti balayna nga addaan kappia.”’
17 Then the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, “Did I not tell you that he never prophesies good for me, but only bad?”
Isu a kinuna ti ari ti Israel kenni Jehosafat, “Saan kadi nga imbagak kenka a saan isuna nga agipadto iti nasayaat maipanggep kaniak, ngem pasig a didigra laeng?”
18 Micaiah continued, “Therefore hear the word of the LORD: I saw the LORD sitting on His throne, and all the host of heaven standing on His right and on His left.
Ket kinuna ni Micaias, “Masapul ngarud a denggenyo amin ti sao ni Yahweh: Nakitak ni Yahweh a nakatugaw iti tronona, ken amin dagiti buybuyot ti langit ket agtaktakder iti makannawanna ken iti makannigidna.
19 And the LORD said, ‘Who will entice Ahab king of Israel to march up and fall at Ramoth-gilead?’ And one suggested this, and another that.
Kinuna ni Yahweh, 'Siasino ti mangallilaw kenni Ahab, nga ari ti Israel tapno sumang-at idiay Ramot Galaad ket maparmek sadiay?' Ket nagduduma ti insungbat ti tunggal maysa.
20 Then a spirit came forward, stood before the LORD, and said, ‘I will entice him.’ ‘By what means?’ asked the LORD.
Ket adda maysa nga espiritu a nagpasango, nagtakder iti sangoanan ni Yahweh, ket kinunana, 'Siak ti mangallilaw kenkuana.' Kinuna ni Yahweh kenkuana, 'Kasano?'
21 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.’
Insungbat ti espiritu, 'Mapanak ket pag-ulbodek dagiti amin a profetana.' Insungbat ni Yahweh, 'Allilawem isuna, ket agballigikanto. Mapanka ket aramiden ti imbagam.'
22 So you see, the LORD has put a lying spirit in the mouths of these prophets of yours, and the LORD has pronounced disaster against you.”
'Ita kitaem, pagul-ulboden ni Yahweh dagiti amin a profetam, ket inkeddeng ni Yahweh ti pannakadidigram.”
23 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?”
Kalpasanna, immasideg ni Zedekaias a putot ni Kenaana, tinungpana ni Micaias, ket kinunana, “Kasano koma a rimmuar kaniak ti Espiritu ni Yahweh tapno makitungtong kenka?”
24 Micaiah replied, “You will soon see, on that day when you go and hide in an inner room.”
Kinuna ni Micaias, “Kitaem, maammoamto dayta iti aldaw nga agtarayka a mapan aglemmeng iti akin uneg a siled.”
25 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,
Kinuna ti ari ti Israel kadagiti dadduma nga adipenna, “Dakayo a tattao tiliwenyo ni Micaias ket ipanyo kenni Amon, a gobernador ti siudad, ken ni Joas, nga anakko.
26 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.’”
Ibagayo kenkuana, 'Kuna ti ari, Ibaludyo daytoy a tao ket bassit laeng a tinapay ti ipakanyo ken bassit laeng a danum, agingga a makasangpetak a sikakaradkad.”’
27 But Micaiah replied, “If you ever return safely, the LORD has not spoken through me.” Then he added, “Take heed, all you people!”
Ket kinuna ni Micaias, “No makasublika a sikakaradkad, saan ngarud a nagsao ni Yahweh kaniak.” Ket kinunana pay, “Denggenyo daytoy, dakayo amin a tattao.”
28 So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat king of Judah went up to Ramoth-gilead.
Simmang-at ngarud da Ahab nga ari ti Israel, ken ni Jehosafat nga ari ti Juda idiay Ramot Galaad.
29 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.
Kinuna ti ari ti Israel kenni Jehosafat, “Manglimlimoak ket mapanak iti paggugubatan, ngem ikawesmo dagiti pagan-anaymo a kas ari.” Nanglimlimo ngarud ti ari ti Israel ket napan iti paggugubatan.
30 Now the king of Aram had ordered his chariot commanders, “Do not fight with anyone, small or great, except the king of Israel.”
Ita, binilin ti ari ti Aram dagiti kapitan ti karwahena, a kunana, “Saanyo a darupen ti siasinoman kadagiti soldado. Ngem ketdi, ti laeng ari ti Israel ti darupenyo.”
31 When the chariot commanders saw Jehoshaphat, they said, “This is the king of Israel!” So they turned to fight against him, but Jehoshaphat cried out, and the LORD helped him. God drew them away from him.
Ket napasamak nga idi nakita dagiti kapitan ni Jehosafat kinunada, “Dayta ti ari ti Israel.” Nagbaw-ingda a mangdarup kenkuana, ngem nagriaw ni Jehosafat, ket tinulongan isuna ni Yahweh. Pinagsardeng ida ti Dios iti panangdarupda kenkuana.
32 And when the chariot commanders saw that he was not the king of Israel, they turned back from pursuing him.
Ket napasamak nga idi nakita dagiti mangidadaulo kadagiti karwahe a saan nga isu ti ari ti Israel, insardengda ti panangkamatda kenkuana.
33 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!”
Ngem adda maysa a lalaki a nangibiat iti panana a saanna a kitkitaen ti mapanana ket natamaan ti ari ti Israel iti nagsaipan ti kabalna. Ket kinuna ni Ahab iti mangiturturong iti karwahena, “Agsublita ket ipanawnak ditoy paggugubatan, ta nasugatanak iti nakaro.”
34 The battle raged throughout that day, and the king of Israel propped himself up in his chariot facing the Arameans until evening. And at sunset he died.
Kimmarkaro ti gubat iti dayta nga aldaw, ket sisasadag ti ari ti Israel iti karwahena a nakasango kadagiti taga-Aram agingga iti rumabii. Idi dandanin a lumnek ti init, natay isuna.
