2 Kings 3
1 In the eighteenth year of Jehoshaphat’s reign over Judah, Jehoram son of Ahab became king of Israel, and he reigned in Samaria twelve years.
In yac aksingoul oalkosr ke pacl in leum lal Tokosra Jehoshaphat lun Judah, Joram wen natul Ahab, el tokosrala lun Israel, ac el leum in Samaria ke yac singoul luo.
2 And he did evil in the sight of the LORD, but not as his father and mother had done. He removed the sacred pillar of Baal that his father had made.
El oru ma koluk lain LEUM GOD, tuh tia oana lupan koluk lun papa tumal ku Jezebel, nina kial. El kunausla ma sruloala ma papa tumal ah orala mwe alu nu sel Baal.
3 Nevertheless, he clung to the sins that Jeroboam son of Nebat had caused Israel to commit; he did not turn away from them.
Tusruktu el oapana Tokosra Jeroboam wen natul Nebat, su tokosra meet lukel — el tiana tui in kolla mwet Israel in oru ma koluk.
4 Now Mesha king of Moab was a sheep breeder, and he would render to the king of Israel a hundred thousand lambs and the wool of a hundred thousand rams.
Tokosra Mesha lun Moab el tohf sheep, ac ke yac nukewa el ac supu siofok tausin sheep fusr ac oayapa unen sheep matu tausin siofok nu sin tokosra lun Israel tuh in mwe takma lal nu sel.
5 But after the death of Ahab, the king of Moab rebelled against the king of Israel.
Tusruktu ke Tokosra Ahab lun Israel el misa, Tokosra Mesha el tuyak lain acn Israel.
6 So at that time King Jehoram set out from Samaria and mobilized all Israel.
In pacl sacna, Tokosra Joram el som liki acn Samaria, ac orani un mwet mweun nukewa lal.
7 And he sent a message to Jehoshaphat king of Judah: “The king of Moab has rebelled against me. Will you go with me to fight against Moab?” “I will go,” replied Jehoshaphat. “I am like you, my people are your people, and my horses are your horses.”
El supwala kas nu sel Tokosra Jehoshaphat lun Judah ac fahk, “Tokosra lun acn Moab el tuyak lainyu. Kom ku in tuku wiyu mweun lainul?” Tokosra Jehoshaphat el topuk, “Aok, nga ac wi kom! Nga filiyuwot nu sum, oayapa mwet luk ac horse nutik.
8 Then he asked, “Which way shall we go up?” “By way of the Desert of Edom,” replied Joram.
Kut ac ut ya nu ke mweun uh?” Joram el topuk, “Kut ac ut ke inkanek loeloes, fahla sasla acn turangang uten acn Edom.”
9 So the king of Israel, the king of Judah, and the king of Edom set out, and after they had traveled a roundabout route for seven days, they had no water for their army or for their animals.
Ouinge Tokosra Joram ac tokosra lun Judah ac Edom elos mukuiyak. Tukun elos fahsr len itkosr, lisr kof ah, na wangin ma nimen mwet uh oayapa kosro in utuk natulos.
10 “Alas,” said the king of Israel, “for the LORD has summoned these three kings to deliver them into the hand of Moab!”
Tokosra Joram el fahk, “Kut ac lalna! LEUM GOD El asang tokosra tolu inge nu inpoun tokosra lun Moab!”
11 But Jehoshaphat asked, “Is there no prophet of the LORD here? Let us inquire of the LORD through him.” And one of the servants of the king of Israel answered, “Elisha son of Shaphat is here. He used to pour water on the hands of Elijah.”
Tokosra Jehoshaphat el siyuk, “Ku oasr sie mwet palu inge ma ac ku in tafwekut ac lolngok nu sin LEUM GOD?” Sie sin mwet leum lun mwet mweun lal Tokosra Joram el topuk, “Elisha wen natul Shaphat el oasr inge. El tuh mwet kasru lal Elijah.”
12 Jehoshaphat affirmed, “The word of the LORD is with him.” So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat and the king of Edom went down to him.
Tokosra Jehoshaphat el fahk, “El mwet palu na pwaye se.” Ouinge tokosra tolu ah som nu yorol Elisha.
13 Elisha, however, said to the king of Israel, “What have we to do with each other? Go to the prophets of your father and of your mother!” “No,” replied the king of Israel, “for it is the LORD who has summoned these three kings to deliver them into the hand of Moab.”
Elisha el fahk nu sel tokosra lun Israel, “Efu ku ngan kasrekom? Fahla lolngok sin mwet palu ma papa tomom ac nina kiom ah muta lolngok nu se ah.” Joram el topuk, “Mo. LEUM GOD pa eiskutyang, tokosra tolu inge, nu inpoun tokosra lun acn Moab uh.”
14 Then Elisha said, “As surely as the LORD of Hosts lives, before whom I stand, were it not for my regard for the presence of Jehoshaphat king of Judah, I would not look at you or acknowledge you.
Elisha el topuk, “Inen LEUM GOD moul su nga kulansupu, nga fulahk lah nga lukun tiana kasrekom nga funu tia akfulatyal Tokosra Jehoshaphat lun Judah, su wi kom ingan.
15 But now, bring me a harpist.” And while the harpist played, the hand of the LORD came upon Elisha
Inge, sap sie mwet orek on an in tuku nu yuruk.” Ke mwet sac srital ke harp natul ah, na ku lun LEUM GOD tuku nu facl Elisha.
16 and he said, “This is what the LORD says: ‘Dig this valley full of ditches.’
Na Elisha el fahk, “Pa inge ma LEUM GOD El fahk, ‘Pukanak laf pukanten yen nukewa ke infacl soko ma paola inge.
17 For the LORD says, ‘You will not see wind or rain, but the valley will be filled with water, and you will drink—you and your cattle and your animals.’
Kowos finne tia liye af ku eng, a infacl soko inge ac sessesla ke kof, na kowos, ac kosro nutuwos nukewa, ac fah mut ke kof.’”
18 This is a simple matter in the sight of the LORD, and He will also deliver the Moabites into your hand.
Ac Elisha el sifilpa fahk, “Tuh ma inge ma na fisrasr sin LEUM GOD in oru. El ac fah oayapa sot tuh kowos in kutangla mwet Moab.
19 And you shall attack every fortified city and every city of importance. You shall cut down every good tree, stop up every spring, and ruin every good field with stones.”
Kowos fah kutangla fin siti oasku nukewa lalos ma potiyukla. Ac kowos fah pakiya sak nukewa sunalos ma oasr fahko, ac fonosya unon in kof nukewa lalos, ac kunausla acn in ima nukewa lalos ma infohk uh wo nu ke yok uh, ke kowos nwakla ke eot.”
20 The next morning, at the time of the morning sacrifice, water suddenly flowed from the direction of Edom and filled the land.
Lotu se tok ah, ke pacl in kisa in lotutang, kof uh sororma layen nu Edom me, ac afunla infohk uh.
21 Now all the Moabites had heard that the kings had come up to fight against them. So all who could bear arms, young and old, were summoned and stationed at the border.
Ke mwet Moab elos lohngak lah tokosra tolu ah tuku in mweunelos, mukul nukewa ma ku in utuk mwe mweun, sin mwet matu emeet nwe ke mwet fusr emeet, elos pangonyukeni in som tu ke masrol uh.
22 When they got up early in the morning, the sun was shining on the water, and it looked as red as blood to the Moabites across the way.
Ke elos tukakek ke lotu se tok ah faht ah sreya fin kof ah, oru kof uh srusrala oana srah.
23 “This is blood!” they exclaimed. “The kings have clashed swords and slaughtered one another. Now to the plunder, Moab!”
Elos lut ac fahk, “Srah pa ngi! Kalem lah mwet mweun lun u tolu ah forani aacnwuki nwe sifacna onelosi. Kut som tella ma lalos liki nien aktuktuk lalos uh!”
24 But when the Moabites came to the camp of Israel, the Israelites rose up and attacked them, and they fled before them. So the Israelites invaded their land and struck down the Moabites.
Tusruktu ke elos sun nien aktuktuk lun mwet Israel ah, mwet Israel elos sroang mweunelos ac folokunulosla. Mwet Israel elos ukwe na mwet Moab nwe onelosla,
25 They destroyed the cities, and each man threw stones on every good field until it was covered. They stopped up every spring and cut down every good tree. Only Kir-haraseth was left with stones in place, but men with slings surrounded it and attacked it as well.
ac kunausla siti selos. Ke mwet Israel inge ac fahsr ke acn in ima wowo uh, kais sie selos ac srukak eot se ac sisang nu ke ima sac, nwe ke na eot ah afunla ima nukewa. Elos oayapa fonosya unon in kof uh, ac pakiya sak oasr fahko kac. Fahsr nwe siti sefanna lula, siti fulat selos su pangpang Kir Heres, na mwet utuk fuht elos kuhlasla ac mweuni.
26 When the king of Moab saw that the battle was too fierce for him, he took with him seven hundred swordsmen to break through to the king of Edom, but they could not prevail.
Ke pacl se tokosra lun acn Moab ah akilenak lah ac kutangyukla el, na el us mwet itfoko su mwet mweun ke cutlass in welul, ac el srike na elan sasla inmasrlon mwet lokoalok inge ac kaingla nu yurin tokosra lun Syria, tuh el tiana orala.
27 So he took his firstborn son, who was to succeed him, and offered him as a burnt offering on the city wall. And there was great fury against the Israelites, so they withdrew and returned to their own land.
Ouinge el eis mukul matu se natul su ac aolul in tokosra, ac kisakunulla fin pot lun siti sac nu sin god lun acn Moab. Mwet Israel elos arulana rarla kac, na elos foloki liki siti sac ac folokla nu facl selos.
