Chronicles II 18
1 And Josaphat had yet great wealth and glory, and he connected himself by marriage with the house of Achaab.
Zvino Jehoshafati akava nepfuma zhinji nokukudzwa kukuru, uye akava noukama naAhabhu nokuda kwokuroorerana.
2 And he went down after a term of years to Achaab to Samaria: and Achaab slew for him sheep and calves, in abundance, and for the people with him, and he much desired him to go up with him to Ramoth of the country of Galaad.
Zvino mamwe makore akati apfuura, iye akaenda kundoshanyira Ahabhu kuSamaria. Ahabhu akauraya makwai akawanda nemombe achiitira iye navanhu uye akamukurudzira kuti arwise Ramoti Gireadhi.
3 And Achaab king of Israel said to Josaphat king of Juda, Wilt thou go with me to Ramoth of the country of Galaad? And he said to him, As I [am], so also [art] thou, as thy people, [so] also [is] my people with thee for the war.
Ahabhu mambo weIsraeri akakumbira Jehoshafati mambo weJudha, akati, “Mungandibatsirawo here kundorwisa Ramoti Gireadhi?” Jehoshafati akapindura akati, “Ini ndakaita sewe uye vanhu vangu savanhu vako; tichakubatsirai muhondo.”
4 And Josaphat said to the king of Israel, Seek, I pray thee, the Lord to-day.
Asi Jehoshafati akatizve kuna mambo weIsraeri, “Chokutanga, tsvakai kuda kwaJehovha.”
5 And the king of Israel gathered the prophets, four hundred men, and said to them, Shall I go to Ramoth Galaad to battle, or shall I forbear? And they said, Go up, and God shall deliver [it] into the hands of the king.
Saka mambo weIsraeri akaunganidza vaprofita vaisvika mazana mana akavabvunza akati, “Tingaenda kundorwisana neRamoti Gireadhi here kana kuti ndorega?” Vakapindura vakati, “Endai nokuti Mwari achariisa mumaoko amambo.”
6 And Josaphat said, Is there not here a prophet of the Lord besides, that we may enquire of him?
Asi Jehoshafati akabvunza akati, “Hakuna here muprofita waJehovha watingabvunza?”
7 And the king of Israel said to Josaphat, There is yet one man by whom to enquire of the Lord; but I hate him, for he does not prophesy concerning me for good, for all his days [are] for evil: this [is] Michaias the son of Jembla. And Josaphat said, Let not the king say so.
Mambo weIsraeri akapindura Jehoshafati akati, “Pachine murume mumwe chete watingabvunza nezvaJehovha asi ndinomuvenga nokuti haamboprofita zvakanaka pamusoro pangu, asi zvakaipa nguva dzose. Anonzi Mikaya mwanakomana waImira.” Jehoshafati akapindura akati, “Mambo havafaniri kutaura vachidaro.”
8 And the king called an eunuch, and said, [Fetch] quickly Michaias the son of Jembla.
Saka mambo weIsraeri akadana mumwe wavabati vavo akati, “Uya naMikaya mwanakomana waImira iye zvino.”
9 And the king of Israel and Josaphat king of Juda were sitting each on his throne, and clothed in their robes, sitting in the open space at the entrance of the gate of Samaria: and all the prophets were prophesying before them.
Vakapfeka nguo dzavo dzoumambo, mambo weIsraeri naJehoshafati mambo weJudha vakanga vakagara pazvigaro zvavo zvoushe paburiro pamukova wesuo reSamaria, navaprofita vose vachiprofita pamberi pavo.
10 And Sedekias son of Chanaan made for himself iron horns, and said, Thus saith the Lord, With these thou shalt thrust Syria until it be consumed.
Zvino Zedhekia mwanakomana waKenaana akanga agadzira nyanga dzesimbi, uye akataura achiti, “Zvanzi naJehovha: ‘Neidzi muchabaya vaAramu kusvikira vaparara.’”
11 And all the prophets prophesied so, saying, Go up to Ramoth Galaad, and thou shalt prosper; and the Lord shall deliver it into the hands of the king.
Vamwe vaprofita vose vachiprofita zvimwe chetezvo, vakati, “Rwisai Ramoti Gireadhi uye mukunde, nokuti Jehovha achariisa mumaoko amambo.”
12 And the messenger that went to call Michaias spoke to him, saying, Behold, the prophets have spoken favourably concerning the king with one mouth; let now, I pray thee, thy words be as [the words] of one of them, and do thou speak good things.
Nhume yakanga yaenda kundodaidza Mikaya yakati kwaari, “Tarira, somunhu mumwe vamwe vaprofita vari kutaura nezvokubudirira kwamambo. Shoko rako ngariwirirane neravamwe, uye utaure zvakanaka.”
13 And Michaias said, [As] the Lord lives, whatever God shall say to me, that will I speak.
Asi Mikaya akati, “Zvirokwazvo naJehovha mupenyu ndinogona kumutaurira chete zvinotaurwa naMwari wangu.”
14 And he came to the king, and the king said to him, Michaias, shall I go up to Ramoth Galaad to battle, or shall I forbear? And he said, Go up, and thou shalt prosper, and they shall be given into your hands.
Paakasvika, mambo akamubvunza akati, “Mikaya, tingaenda here kundorwisana neRamoti Gireadhi kana kuti ndiregere?” Akapindura akati, “Varwisei munokunda nokuti vachaiswa mumaoko enyu.”
15 And the king said to him, How often shall I solemnly charge thee that thou speak to me nothing but truth in the name of the Lord?
Mambo akati kwaari, “Kangani kandinofanira kukuita kuti upike kuti usandiudza zvimwe zvinhu kunze kwechokwadi muzita raJehovha?”
16 And he said, I saw Israel scattered on the mountains, as sheep without a shepherd: and the Lord said, These have no commander; let each return to his home in peace.
Ipapo Mikaya akapindura akati, “Ndakaona Israeri yose yakapararira mumaoko samakwai asina mufudzi, uye Jehovha akati, ‘Vanhu ava havana tenzi, regai mumwe nomumwe wavo adzokere kumba kwake murugare.’”
17 And the king of Israel said to Josaphat, Said I not to thee, that he would not prophesy concerning me good, but evil?
Mambo weIsraeri akati kuna Jehoshafati, “Handina kukuudzai here kuti haamboprofita zvakanaka pamusoro pangu asi zvakaipa chete?”
18 But he said, Not so. Hear ye the word of the Lord: I saw the Lord sitting on his throne, and all the host of heaven stood by on his right hand and on his left.
Mikaya akaenderera mberi achiti, “Naizvozvo inzwai shoko raJehovha: Ndakaona Jehovha akagara pachigaro chake nehondo dzose dzokudenga dzakamira kurudyi rwake nokuruboshwe kwake.
19 And the Lord said, Who will deceive Achaab king of Israel, that he may go up, and fall in Ramoth Galaad? And one spoke this way, and another spoke that way.
Uye Jehovha akati, ‘Ndiani angakwezva Ahabhu mambo weIsraeri kuti andorwisa Ramoti Gireadhi kuti aende kurufu rwake ikoko?’ “Mumwe akataura izvi, mumwe izvo.
20 And there came forth a spirit, and stood before the Lord, and said, I will deceive him. And the Lord said, Whereby?
Pakupedzisira mumwe mweya wakauya, ukamira pamberi paJehovha ukati, ‘Ini ndichandomukwezva.’ “Jehovha akabvunza akati, ‘Nenzira ipi.’
21 And he said, I will go forth, and will be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets. And [the Lord] said, Thou shalt deceive [him], and shalt prevail: go forth, and do so.
“Akati, ‘Ndichaenda ndonova mweya wenhema mumiromo yavaprofita vake.’ “Jehovha akati, ‘Uchabudirira mukumukwezva. Enda unozviita.’
22 And now, behold, the Lord has put a false spirit in the mouth of these thy prophets, and the Lord has spoken evil against thee.
“Saka zvino Jehovha aisa mweya wenhema mumiromo yavaprofita venyu ava. Jehovha akatema chirevo chokuparadzwa kwako.”
23 Then Sedekias the son of Chanaan drew near, and smote Michaias on the cheek, and said to him, By what way passed the Spirit of the Lord from me to speak to thee?
Ipapo Zedhekia mwanakomana waKenaana akakwira akandorova Mikaya kumeso nembama akabvunza akati, “Mweya waJehovha waenda nokupi pawabuda mandiri kuti utaure kwauri?”
24 And Michaias said, Behold, thou shalt see in that day, when thou shalt go from chamber to chamber to hide thyself.
Mikaya akapindura akati, “Uchazozviziva zuva rauchaenda kunohwanda mukamuri yomukati.”
25 And the king of Israel said, Take Michaias, and carry him back to Emer the governor of the city, and to Joas the captain, the king's son;
Mambo weIsraeri ipapo akarayira akati, “Torai Mikaya mumutumire kuna Amoni mutongi weguta nokuna Joashi mwanakomana wamambo.
26 and ye shall say, Thus said the king, Put this fellow into the prison house, and let him eat the bread of affliction, and [drink] the water of affliction, until I return in peace.
Muti, ‘Zvanzi namambo: Isai murume uyu mutorongo uye musamupa chimwe chinhu kunze kwechingwa nemvura kusvikira ndadzoka zvakanaka.’”
27 And Michaias said, If thou do at all return in peace, the Lord has not spoken by me. And he said, Hear, all ye people.
Mikaya akati, “Kana mukadzoka zvakanaka Jehovha haana kutaura neni.” Akawedzerazve achiti, “Batisisai mashoko angu, imi vanhu vose!”
28 So the king of Israel, and Josaphat king of Juda, went up to Ramoth Galaad.
Saka mambo weIsraeri naJehoshafati mambo weJudha vakakwira kuRamoti Gireadhi.
29 And the king of Israel said to Josaphat, Disguise me, and I will enter into the battle: and do thou put on my raiment. so the king of Israel disguised himself, and entered into the battle.
Mambo weIsraeri akati kuna Jehoshafati, “Ini ndichapinda muhondo ndakapfeka nguo dzokuti ndisazivikanwa asi imi pfekai nguo dzenyu dzoumambo.” Saka mambo weIsraeri akazvishandura akapinda muhondo.
30 Now the king of Syria had commanded the captains of the chariots that were with him, saying, Fight neither against small nor great, but only against the king of Israel.
Zvino mambo weAramu akanga arayira vakuru vengoro achiti, “Musarwisana navamwe vose, vadiki kana vakuru kunze kwamambo weIsraeri.”
31 And it came to pass, when the captains of the chariots saw Josaphat, that they said, It is the king of Israel: and they compassed him about to fight against him: and Josaphat cried out, and the Lord delivered him; and God turned them away from him.
Vakuru vengoro pavakaona Jehoshafati vakafunga kuti ndiye mambo weIsraeri. Saka vakatendeuka kuti vamurwise asi Jehoshafati akachema, Jehovha akamurwira. Mwari akavabvisa kwaari,
32 And it came to pass, when the captains of the chariots saw that it was not the king of Israel, that they turned away from him.
nokuti vakuru vengoro pavakaona kuti akanga asiri iye mambo weIsraeri vakarega kumudzingirira.
33 And a man drew a bow with a good aim, and smote the king of Israel between the lungs and the breast-plate: and he said to the charioteer, Turn thine hand, drive me out of the battle, for I am wounded.
Asi mumwe munhu akangokanda museve wake usina kunanga munhu ukandobaya mambo weIsraeri pakati pezvikamu zvenguo dzake dzokurwa nadzo. Mambo akataurira muchairi wengoro kuti, “Tendeutsa ngoro undibvise muhondo. Ndakuvara.”
34 And the battle turned in that day; and the king of Israel remained on the chariot against Syria until evening, and died at sunset.
Kwezuva rose kurwa kwakaenderera mberi uye mambo weIsraeri akazvitsigira mungoro yake akarwisana navaAramu kusvikira manheru. Zvino pakuvira kwezuva akafa.
