< 2 Chronicles 18 >
1 Now Jehoshaphat had riches and honor in abundance, and he allied himself with Ahab by marriage.
Ary Josafata nanana harena sy voninahitra be; ary ny zananilahy dia nampanambadiny ny zanakavavin’ i Ahaba.
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.
Koa nony ela dia nidina nankany amin’ i Ahaba tany Samaria izy. Ary Ahaba namono ondry aman’ osy sy omby betsaka ho azy sy ho an’ ny olona nanaraka azy, dia nitaona azy hiakatra ho any Ramota-gileada.
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.”
Ary hoy Ahaba, mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely, tamin’ i Josafata, mpanjakan’ ny Joda: Mba hiaraka amiko ho any Ramota-gileada va ianao? Dia hoy izy taminy: Eny fa tahaka ny tenanao ihany aho, ka ny oloko dia olonao; koa hiaraka aminao ho any an-tafika izahay.
4 But Jehoshaphat also said to the king of Israel, “Please inquire first for the word of the LORD.”
Ary hoy Josafata tamin’ ny mpanjakan’ ny Isirady; Masìna ianao, anontanio aloha ny tenin’ i Jehovah.
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.”
Ary ny mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely dia nanangona ny mpaminany efajato lahy ka nanao taminy hoe: Handeha hanafika an’ i Ramota-gileada va isika, sa hijanona ihany aho? Dia hoy ireo: Mandehana, fa hatolotr’ Andriamanitra eo an-tananao izy, ry mpanjaka.
6 But Jehoshaphat asked, “Is there not still a prophet of the LORD here of whom we can inquire?”
Ary hoy kosa Josafata: Moa tsy misy mpaminanin’ i Jehovah koa va eto mba hanontaniantsika?
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.
Dia hoy ny mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely tamin’ i Josafata: Mbola misy lehilahy iray ihany ahazoantsika manontany amin’ i Jehovah, saingy halako izy, satria tsy mbola naminany soa ho ahy izy, fa loza ihany mandrakariva; Mitaia, zanak’ i Jimla, no anarany. Dia hoy Josafata: Aza dia manao izany, ry mpanjaka.
8 So the king of Israel called one of his officials and said, “Bring Micaiah son of Imlah at once.”
Ary ny mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely niantso ny tandapa anankiray ka nanao taminy hoe: Alao faingana Mikaia, zanak’ i Jimla.
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.
Ary ny mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely sy Josafata, mpanjakan’ ny Joda, samy nipetraka teo amin’ ny seza fiandrianany avy teo amin’ ny famoloana eo anoloan’ ny vavahadin’ i Samaria, sady samy efa niakanjo ny akanjony avy; ary ny mpaminany rehetra naminany teo anatrehany.
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.’”
Ary Zedekia, zanak’ i Kenana, dia nanao tandroby ka nanao hoe: Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah: Ireto no hanotoanao ny Syriana mandra-paharingany.
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.”
Ary ny mpaminany rehetra naminany toy izao koa hoe: Mandehana ho any Ramota-gileada, dia hambinina ianao; fa hotolotr’ i Jehovah eo an-tananao izy, ry mpanjaka.
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.”
Ary ilay iraka izay nandeha naka an’ i Mikaia niteny taminy hoe: Indro, fa efa iray teny avokoa izao ny mpaminany, ka samy milaza soa ho an’ ny mpanjaka: masìna ianao, aoka re ny teninao mba ho tahaka ny an’ ny anankiray amin’ ireo, ka mba mitenena soa koa.
13 But Micaiah said, “As surely as the LORD lives, I will speak whatever my God tells me.”
Dia hoy Mikaia: Raha velona koa Jehovah, izay lazain’ Andriamanitro ihany no hambarako.
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.”
Dia nankany amin’ ny mpanjaka izy. Ary hoy ny mpanjaka taminy: Ry Mikaia, handeha hanafika an’ i Ramota-gileada va isika, sa hijanona ihany aho? Ary izy namaly azy hoe: Mandehana, dia hambinina ianareo, fa hatolotra eo an-tananareo izy.
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?”
Ary hoy ny mpanjaka taminy: Impiry no hampianianako anao mba tsy hilaza na inona na inona amiko amin’ ny anaran’ i Jehovah afa-tsy izay marina ihany?
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.’”
Dia hoy Mikaia: Hitako fa indreny ny Isiraely rehetra niely teny an-tendrombohitra toy ny ondry tsy misy mpiandry, ary hoy Jehovah: Ireto efa tsy manan-tompo, ka aoka izy samy hody soa aman-tsara any an-tranony avy.
17 Then the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, “Did I not tell you that he never prophesies good for me, but only bad?”
Dia hoy ny mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely tamin’ ny Josafata: Tsy efa voalazako taminao va fa tsy mba mety maminany soa ho ahy izy, fa loza ihany?
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.
Ary hoy Mikaia: Henoy ary ny tenin’ i Jehovah: Nahita an’ i Jehovah nipetraka teo amin’ ny seza fiandrianany aho, ary ireo maro be rehetra any an-danitra nitsangana teo amin’ ny ankavanany sy teo amin’ ny ankaviany.
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.
Ary hoy Jehovah: Iza no hitaona an’ i Ahaba, mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely, handeha ho any Ramota-gileada ka ho lavo any? Ary ny anankiray niteny toy izao, ary ny anankiray kosa niteny toy izao.
20 Then a spirit came forward, stood before the LORD, and said, ‘I will entice him.’ ‘By what means?’ asked the LORD.
Dia nandroso ny fanahy ka nitsangana teo anatrehan’ i Jehovah ary nanao hoe: Izaho no hitaona azy. Ary hoy Jehovah taminy: Amin’ inona anefa?
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.’
Dia hoy izy: Hivoaka aho ka ho tonga fanahy mandainga ao am-bavan’ ny mpaminaniny rehetra. Dia hoy indray Jehovah: Ho voataonanao ihany izy, ka hahatanteraka ianao; mivoaka ary, ka ataovy izany.
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.”
Koa, indro, Jehovah efa nanisy fanahy mandainga ao am-bavan’ ireto mpaminaninao ireto, ary Izy koa efa nilaza ny loza hanjo anao.
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?”
Fa Zedekia, zanak’ i Kenana, nanatona, dia namely ny takolak’ i Mikaia sady nanao hoe: Taiza no lalana nialan’ ny Fanahin’ i Jehovah tamiko hiteny aminao?
24 Micaiah replied, “You will soon see, on that day when you go and hide in an inner room.”
Dia hoy Mitaia: Indro, ho hitanao izany amin’ ny andro hidiranao ao amin’ ny efi-trano anatiny hierenao.
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,
Dia hoy ny mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely: Raiso Mikaia, ka ento miverina izy ho any amin’ i Amona, komandin’ ny tanana, sy ho any amin’ i Joasy, zanaky ny mpanjaka,
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.’”
ka lazao hoe: Izao no lazain’ ny mpanjaka: Ataovy ao an-trano-maizina ilehity, ka fahano mofom-pahoriana sy ranom-pahoriana izy mandra-pahatongako soa aman-tsara.
27 But Micaiah replied, “If you ever return safely, the LORD has not spoken through me.” Then he added, “Take heed, all you people!”
Fa hoy Mikaia: Raha tahìny ho tafaverina soa aman-tsara ianao, dia tsy nampitenenin’ i Jehovah aho tsy akory. Ary hoy koa izy: Samia mihaino izany, ry firenena rehetra.
28 So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat king of Judah went up to Ramoth-gilead.
Dia niatatra nankany Ramota-gileada ny mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely sy Josafata, mpanjakan’ ny Joda.
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.
Ary hoy ny mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely tamin’ i Josafata: Hody olon-kafa aho ka hitsarapaka any anatin’ ny ady, fa ianao kosa dia miakanjoa ny akanjonao ihany. Dia nody olon-kafa ny mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely ka nitsarapata tany anatin’ ny ady.
30 Now the king of Aram had ordered his chariot commanders, “Do not fight with anyone, small or great, except the king of Israel.”
Fa ny mpanjakan’ i Syria efa nandidy Ireo komandin’ ny kalesiny nanao hoe: Aza miady na amin’ ny kely na amin’ ny lehibe, afa-tsy amin’ ny mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely ihany.
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.
Ary nony nahita an’ i Josafata ireo komandin’ ny kalesy, dia hoy izy: Iny mihitsy no mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely. Dia nohodidininy hasiany izy, ka dia niantsoantso Josafata, ary Jehovah namonjy azy; eny, Andriamanitra nampiala ireo teo aminy;
32 And when the chariot commanders saw that he was not the king of Israel, they turned back from pursuing him.
ary rehefa hitan’ ireo komandin’ ny kalesy fa tsy ny mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely izy, dia niverina niala taminy ireo.
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!”
Ary nisy lehilahy anankiray nandefa zana-tsipìka kitoatoa ka nahavoa ny mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely teo anelenalen’ ny fiarovan-tratrany sy ny eo ambaniny, ka dia hoy izy tamin’ ny mpampandeha ny kalesiny: Ahodino, ka ento miala eto amin’ ny mpiady aho, fa voa.
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.
Ary nihamafy ny ady tamin’ izany andro izany; ary ny mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely nihafy nitsangana teo amin’ ny kalesiny tandrifin’ ny Syriana mandra-paharivan’ ny andro; fa nony efa hilentika ny masoandro, dia maty izy.
