2 Kings 1
1 After the death of Ahab, Moab made itself free from the authority of Israel.
Ary Moaba niodina tamin’ ny Isiraely, rehefa maty Ahaba.
2 Now Ahaziah had a fall from the window of his room in Samaria, and was ill. And he sent men, and said to them, Put a question to Baal-zebub, the god of Ekron, about the outcome of my disease, to see if I will get well or not.
Ary Ahazia nianjera avy teo amin’ ny makarakara teo amin’ ny efi-trano ambony tao Samaria ka narary; dia naniraka olona izy ka nanao taminy hoe: Mandehana, anontanio amin’ i Bala-zeboba, andriamanitr’ i Ekrona, na ho sitrana ihany aho amin’ ity aretiko ity, na tsia.
3 But the angel of the Lord said to Elijah the Tishbite, Go now, and, meeting the men sent by the king of Samaria, say to them, Is it because there is no God in Israel, that you are going to get directions from Baal-zebub, the god of Ekron?
Ary Ilay Anjelin’ i Jehovah niteny tamin’ i Elia Tisbira hoe: Miaingà, miakara hihaona amin’ ny iraky ny mpanjakan’ i Samaria, ka manaova aminy hoe: Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah: Moa ataonareo fa tsy misy Andriamanitra eo amin’ ny Isiraely va, no mandeha hanontany amin’ i Bala-zeboba, andriamanitr’ i Ekrona, ianareo?
4 Give ear then to the words of the Lord: You will never again get down from the bed on to which you have gone up, but death will certainly come to you. Then Elijah went away.
Koa noho izany dia tsy hidina hiala amin’ ny farafara izay niakaranao ianao, fa ho faty tokoa. Ary dia lasa Elia.
5 And the men he had sent came back to the king; and he said to them, Why have you come back?
Dia niverina tany amin’ ny mpanjaka ny iraka, ka hoy izy taminy: Nahoana re no niverina ianareo?
6 And they said to him, On our way we had a meeting with a man who said, Go back to the king who sent you and say to him, The Lord says, Is it because there is no God in Israel that you send to put a question to Baal-zebub, the god of Ekron? For this reason, you will not come down from the bed on to which you have gone up, but death will certainly come to you.
Ary hoy ireo taminy: Nisy lehilahy niakatra nitsena anay ka nanao taminay hoe: Mandehana miverina any amin’ ny mpanjaka izay naniraka anareo, ka lazao aminy hoe: Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah: Moa ataonareo fa tsy misy Andriamanitra eo amin’ ny Isiraely va, no maniraka hanontany amin’ i Bala-zeboba, andriamanitr’ i Ekrona, ianareo? Koa noho izany dia tsy hidina hiala amin’ ny farafara izay niakaranao ianao, fa ho faty tokoa.
7 And he said to them, What sort of a man was it who came and said these words to you?
Ary hoy izy taminy: Lehilahy toy inona izay niakatra nitsena anareo izay ka nilaza izany teny izany taminareo?
8 And they said in answer, He was a man clothed in a coat of hair, with a leather band about his body. Then he said, It is Elijah the Tishbite.
Ary ireo namaly azy hoe: Lehilahy mitafy volom-biby izy, sady nisy fehin-kibo hoditra tamin’ ny valahany. Dia hoy izy: Elia Tisbita izay.
9 Then the king sent to him a captain of fifty with his fifty men; and he went up to him where he was seated on the top of a hill, and said to him, O man of God, the king has said, Come down.
Ary ny mpanjaka naniraka mpifehy dimam-polo anankiray mbamin’ ny dimam-polo fehiny hankany aminy. Dia niakatra tany aminy izy; ka indro izy nipetraka teo an-tampon’ ny tendrombohitra; ary niteny taminy ralehilahy hoe: Ry lehilahin’ Andriamanitra ô, midìna ianao, antsoin’ ny mpanjaka.
10 And Elijah in answer said to the captain of fifty, If I am a man of God, may fire come down from heaven on you and on your fifty men, and put an end to you. Then fire came down from heaven and put an end to him and his fifty men.
Fa Elia namaly ka nanao tamin’ ny mpifehy dimam-polo hoe: Raha lehilahin’ Andriamanitra tokoa aho, dia aoka hisy afo milatsaka avy any an-danitra handevona anao sy ny dimam-polo fehinao. Ary dia nisy afo nilatsaka avy tany an-danitra ka nandevona azy mbamin’ ny dimam-polo fehiny.
11 Then the king sent another captain of fifty with his fifty men; and he said to Elijah, O man of God, the king says, Come down quickly.
Dia naniraka mpifehy dimam-polo anankiray mbamin’ ny dimam-polo fehiny hankany aminy koa ny mpanjaka. Dia niteny izy ka nanao taminy hoe: Ry lehilahin’ Andriamanitra ô, midìna faingana ianao, antsoin’ ny mpanjaka.
12 And Elijah in answer said, If I am a man of God, may fire come down from heaven on you and on your fifty men, and put an end to you. And the fire of God came down from heaven, and put an end to him and his fifty men.
Fa namaly Elia ka nanao taminy hoe: Raha lehilahin’ Andriamanitra tokoa aho, dia aoka hisy afo milatsaka avy any an-danitra ka handevona anao mbamin’ ny dimam-polo fehinao. Ary dia nisy afon’ Andriamanitra nilatsaka avy tany an-danitra ka nandevona azy mbamin’ ny dimam-polo fehiny.
13 Then he sent a third captain of fifty with his fifty men; and the third captain of fifty went up, and falling on his knees before Elijah, requesting mercy of him, said, O man of God, let my life and the life of these your fifty servants be of value to you.
Ary dia naniraka mpifehy dimam-polo anankiray koa indray mbamin’ ny dimam-polo fehiny izy. Dia niakatra ilay mpifehy dimam-polo ka tonga, ary nandohalika teo anatrehan’ i Elia ka nifona taminy nanao hoe: Masìna ianao, ry lehilahin’ Andriamanitra ô, aoka ho zava-tsoa eo imasonao ny aiko sy ny ain’ ireto mpanomponao dimam-polo ireto.
14 For fire came down from heaven and put an end to the first two captains of fifty and their fifties; but now let my life be of value in your eyes.
Indro, efa nisy afo nilatsaka avy tany an-danitra ka nandevona ireo roa lahy mpifehy dimam-polo ireo mbamin’ ny dimam-polo fehiny avy; fa aoka kosa ho zava-tsoa eo imasonao ny aiko ankehitriny.
15 Then the angel of the Lord said to Elijah, Go down with him; have no fear of him. So he got up and went down with him to the king.
Ary hoy Ilay Anjelin’ i Jehovah tamin’ i Elia: Midìna ihany hiaraka aminy ianao; fa aza matahotra azy. Ary dia niainga izy ka nidina niaraka taminy ho any amin’ ny mpanjaka.
16 And he said to him, This is the word of the Lord: Because you sent men to put a question to Baal-zebub, the god of Ekron, for this reason you will never again get down from the bed on to which you have gone up, but death will certainly come to you.
Ary hoy izy tamin’ ny mpanjaka: Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah: Satria naniraka olona hanontany amin’ i Bala-zeboba, andriamanitr’ i Ekrona, ianao, hoatra ny tsy misy Andriamanitra eo amin’ ny Isiraely, dia tsy hidina hiala amin’ ny farafara izay niakaranao ianao fa ho faty tokoa.
17 So death came to him, as the Lord had said by the mouth of Elijah. And Jehoram became king in his place in the second year of the rule of Jehoram, son of Jehoshaphat, king of Judah; because he had no son.
Ka dia maty izy araka ny tenin’ i Jehovah izay nolazain’ i Elia. Ary satria tsy nanan-janaka izy, dia Jorama no nanjaka nandimby azy tamin’ ny taona faharoa nanjakan’ i Jehorama, zanak’ i Josafata, mpanjakan’ ny Joda.
18 Now the rest of the acts of Ahaziah, are they not recorded in the book of the history of the kings of Israel?
Ary ny asan’ i Ahazia sisa izay nataony, tsy efa voasoratra ao amin’ ny bokin’ ny tantaran’ ny mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely va izany?
