< 1 Kings 20 >

1 Then Benhadad, the king of Syria, gathered together his entire army. And there were thirty-two kings with him, with horses and chariots. And ascending, he fought against Samaria, and he besieged it.
Inummong ni Ben Hadad nga ari ti Aram iti amin nga armadana; adda tallopulo ket dua a basbassit ti iturturayanna nga ar-ari a kaduana, ken dagiti kabalio ken karwahe. Napan isuna, pinalawlawanda ti Samaria, ket nakirangetda.
2 And sending messengers into the city, to Ahab, the king of Israel,
Nangibaon isuna kadagiti mensahero a mapan iti siudad kenni Ahab nga ari ti Israel, ket kinunada kenkuana, “Pinaibaga ni Ben Hadad daytoy:
3 he said: “Thus says Benhadad: Your silver and your gold is mine. And your wives and your best sons are mine.”
'Kukuak ti pirak ken balitokmo. Kasta met dagiti assawa ken annakmo, dagiti kasasayaatan, ket kukuak itan.'”
4 And the king of Israel responded, “In agreement with your word, my lord the king, I am yours, with all that is mine.”
Insungbat ti ari ti Israel ket kinunana, “Matungpal ti imbagam, amok, nga ari. Siak ken amin nga adda kaniak ket kukuam.”
5 And the messengers, returning, said: “Thus says Benhadad, who sent us to you: Your silver and your gold, and your wives and your sons, you shall give to me.
Immay manen dagiti mensahero ket kinunada, “Pinaibaga ni Ben Hadad daytoy, 'Nangipatulodak kenka iti sao a mangibagbaga a nasken nga iyawatmo kaniak ti pirakmo, ti balitokmo, dagiti assawam, ken dagiti annakmo.
6 Therefore, tomorrow, at this same hour, I will send my servants to you, and they will search your house and the houses of your servants. And all that pleases them, they will put in their hands and take away.”
Ngem ibaonkonto kenka dagiti adipenko inton bigat iti kastoy met laeng nga oras, ket sukimatendanto ti balaymo ken dagiti balay dagiti adipenmo. Alaen ken ipanawdanto ti aniaman a makaay-ayo iti imatangda.”'
7 Then the king of Israel called all the elders of the land, and he said: “Let your souls take heed, and see that he commits treachery against us. For he sent to me for my wives and sons, and for silver and gold. And I did not refuse.”
Ket pinaayaban ti ari ti Israel dagiti amin a panglakayen ti daga ket kinunana, ““Pangngaasiyo ta tandaanan ken kitaenyo no kasano nga agbirbirok iti riribuk daytoy a tao. Nangipatulod isuna iti sao kaniak tapno alaenna dagiti assawak, dagiti annakko, ken ti pirak, ken balitok, ket saanak a nagkedked kenkuana.”
8 And all those greater by birth, with all the people, said to him, “You should neither listen, nor acquiesce to him.”
Kinuna dagiti amin a panglakayen ken dagiti amin a tattao kenni Ahab, “Saanka a dumngeg kenkuana wenno patgan ti dawdawatenna.
9 And so, he responded to the messengers of Benhadad: “Tell my lord the king: Everything about which you sent to me in the beginning, I your servant will do. But this thing, I am not able to do.”
Kinuna ngarud ni Ahab kadagiti mensahero ni Ben Hadad, “Ibagayo iti amok nga ari, 'Umanamongak iti amin nga immuna nga impaibagam iti adipenmo nga aramiden, ngem saanko a mapatgan daytoy maikadua a kiddawmo.”' Pimmanaw ngarud dagiti mensahero ket indanonda daytoy a sungbat kenni Ben Hadad.
10 And returning, the messengers took this to him, and he sent again and said, “May the gods do these things to me, and may they add these other things, if the dust of Samaria is enough to fill the hands of all the people who follow me.”
Ket impatulod ni Ben Hadad kadagiti mensaherona ti sungbatna kenni Ahab, ket kinunana, “Patayendak koma dagiti dios ken ad-adda pay iti dakes nga aramidenda kaniak, no uray dagiti dapo iti Samaria ket umanayto a rakemen dagiti tattao a sumursurot kaniak.”
11 And responding, the king of Israel said, “Tell him that one who is girded should not boast the same as one who is ungirded.”
Insungbat ti ari ti Israel ket kinunana, “Ibagam kenni Ben Hadad, 'Awan ti siasinoman nga agpangas a mangisusuot pay laeng iti kabalna a kasla us-usubennan daytoy.'”
12 Then it happened that, when Benhadad had heard this word, he and the kings were drinking in a pavilion. And he said to his servants, “Encircle the city.” And they encircled it.
Nangngeg ni Ben Hadad daytoy a mensahe bayat nga agin-inom isuna, ken dagiti ari iti babaenna nga adda kadagiti toldada. Binilin ni Ben Hadad dagiti tattaona, “Agsaganakayo para iti gubat.” Nagsaganada ngarud a makigubat tapno rautenda ti siudad.
13 And behold, one prophet, drawing near to Ahab, the king of Israel, said to him: “Thus says the Lord: Certainly, you have seen this entire exceedingly great multitude? Behold, I will deliver them into your hand today, so that you may know that I am the Lord.”
Ket adtoy, immay ti maysa a profeta kenni Ahab nga ari ti Israel ket kinunana. “Ibagbaga ni Yahweh, 'Makitam kadi daytoy nabileg nga armada? Kitaem, iyawatko kenka ita nga aldaw, ket maammoamto a siak ni Yahweh.”'
14 And Ahab said, “By whom?” And he said to him: “Thus says the Lord: By the footmen of the leaders of the provinces.” And he said, “Who should begin to do battle?” And he said, “You should.”
Insungbat ni Ahab, “Siasino ti mangparmek?” Insungbat ni Yahweh ket kinunana, “Babaen kadagiti agtutubo nga opisial nga agserserbi kadagiti gobernador dagiti distrito.” Ket kinuna ni Ahab, “Siasino ti mangirugi iti gubat?” Simmungbat ni Yahweh, “Sika.”
15 Therefore, he took a count of the servants of the leaders of the provinces. And he found the number to be two hundred thirty-two. And he set them in order after the people, all the sons of Israel, who were seven thousand.
Ket inummong ni Ahab dagiti agtutubo nga opisial nga agserserbi kadagiti gobernador dagiti distrito. Dua gasut ken tallopulo ket dua ti bilangda. Kalpasanda, inummongna met amin a soldado, amin ti armada ti Israel, pito ribu amin ti bilangda.
16 And they went out at midday. But Benhadad was drinking; he was inebriated in his pavilion, and the thirty-two kings with him, who had arrived in order to assist him.
Rimmuarda iti katengngaan ti aldaw. Madama nga agbarbartek ni Ben Hadad iti toldana, kaduana dagiti tallopulo ket dua a basbassit ti iturturayanna nga ar-ari a mangtultulong kenkuana.
17 Then the servants of the leaders of the provinces went out to the first place, at the front. And so, Benhadad sent, and they reported to him, saying: “Men have gone out from Samaria.”
Immuna a napan dagiti agtutubo nga opisial nga agserserbi kadagiti gobernador dagiti distrito. Ket napakaammoan ni Ben Hadad babaen kadagiti agsawsawar nga imbaonna, “Um-umay dagiti lallaki a naggapu iti Samaria.”
18 And he said: “If they have arrived for peace, apprehend them alive; if to do battle, capture them alive.”
Kinuna ni Ben Hadad, “Tiliwenyo ida a sibibiag uray no umayda a makikapia wenno makigubat.”
19 Therefore, the servants of the leaders of the provinces went out, and the remainder of the army was following.
Rimmuar ngarud iti siudad dagiti agtutubo nga opisial nga agserserbi kadagiti gobernador dagiti distrito, ket sinurot ida ti armada.
20 And each one struck down the man who came against him. And the Syrians fled, and Israel pursued them. Also, Benhadad, the king of Syria, fled on a horse, with his horsemen.
Pinatay ti tunggal maysa ti kabusorna, ket naglibas dagiti taga-Aram; kinamat ida ti Israel. Nagkabalio a naglibas ni Ben Hadad nga ari ti Aram a kaduana dagiti sumagmamano a nakakabalio.
21 But the king of Israel, going out, struck the horses and the chariots, and he struck the Syrians with a great slaughter.
Ket rimmuar ti ari ti Israel ken dinarupna dagiti nakakabalio ken nakakarwahe, ket adu ti pinapatayna a taga- Aram.
22 Then a prophet, drawing near to the king of Israel, said to him: “Go and be strengthened. And know and see what you are doing. For in the following year, the king of Syria will rise up against you.”
Isu nga immay ti maysa a profeta iti ari ti Israel ket kinunana kenkuana, “Mapanka, papigsaem ti bagim, ket adalem ken planoem ti aramidem, gapu ta iti sumaruno a tawen agsubli manen ti ari ti Aram a bumusor kenka.”
23 Then truly, the servants of the king of Syria said to him: “Their gods are the gods of the mountains; because of this, they have overwhelmed us. But it is better that we fight against them in the plains, and then we will prevail over them.
Kinuna kenkuana dagiti adipen ti ari ti Aram, “Ti diosda ket dios ti katurturodan. Isu a napigpigsada ngem datayo. Ngem ita makirangettayo kadakuada iti patad, ket awan dua dua a sadiay, napigpigsatayo ngem isuda.
24 Therefore, you should do this word: Remove each of the kings from your army, and set commanders in their place.
Ket aramidem pay daytoy: ikkatem dagiti ari, tunggal maysa iti idadauloanna, ket sukatam ida kadagiti kapitan ti armada.
25 And replace the number of soldiers who have been cut down of yours, and the horses, in accord with the earlier number of horses, and the chariots, in accord with the number of chariots that you had before. And we will fight against them in the plains, and you will see that we will prevail over them.” And he trusted in their counsel, and he did so.
Mangbuangayka iti armada a kas iti armada a napukawmo, kabalio iti kabalio ken karwahe iti karwahe, ket makirangettayo kadakuada iti patad. Ket awan dua dua a napigpigsatayo ngem isuda.” Demngeg ngarud ni Ben Hadad iti balakadda ket inaramidna ti insingasingda.
26 Therefore, after the passing of the year, Benhadad took a count of the Syrians, and he ascended to Aphek, so that he might fight against Israel.
Iti sumaruno a tawen, inummong ni Ben Hadad dagiti taga-Aram ket napanda idiay Afek tapno makirangetda iti Israel.
27 Then the sons of Israel were numbered, and taking provisions, they set out to the opposite side. And they stretched out the camp facing them, like two little flocks of goats. But the Syrians filled the land.
Nagu-ummong dagiti tattao ti Israel ket naipaay kadakuada dagiti banbanag a kasapulanda a makiranget kadagiti taga-Aram. Nagkampo dagiti tattao ti Israel iti sangoananda a kasla dua a babassit nga arban dagiti kalding, ngem pinunno dagiti taga-Aram ti away.
28 And one man of God, drawing near, said to the king of Israel: “Thus says the Lord: Because the Syrians have said, ‘The Lord is the God of the mountains, but he is not the God of the valleys,’ I will deliver this entire great multitude into your hand, and you shall know that I am the Lord.”
Ket immasideg ti maysa a tao ti Dios ket nakitungtong iti ari ti Israel a kunana, “Ibagbaga ni Yahweh: 'Gapu ta imbaga dagiti taga-Aram a ni Yahweh ket dios dagiti turod, ngem saan isuna a dios dagiti tanap, iyawatko daytoy nabileg nga armada kadagita imam, ket maammoamto a Siak ni Yahweh.”'
29 And for seven days, both sides arranged each of their battle lines. Then, on the seventh day, the war was undertaken. And the sons of Israel struck down, from the Syrians, one hundred thousand foot soldiers in one day.
Nagkampo ngarud a nagsinnango dagiti armada iti pito nga aldaw. Ket iti maikapito nga aldaw nangrugin ti gubat. Pinapatay dagiti tattao ti Israel ti sangagasut a ribu a soldado dagiti taga-Aram iti maysa laeng nga aldaw.
30 Then those who had remained fled to Aphek, into the city. And the wall fell upon twenty-seven thousand men of those who had remained. Then Benhadad, fleeing, entered the city, into a room that was inside another room.
Naglibas dagiti nabatbati idiay Afek, iti siudad, ket narba a naigabur ti pader kadagiti dua pulo ket pito a ribu a nabatbati a lallaki. Naglibas ni Ben Hadad ket napan iti siudad, iti akin uneg a siled.
31 And his servants said to him: “Behold, we have heard that the kings of the house of Israel show clemency. And so, let us put sackcloth around our waists, and ropes on our heads, and let us go out to the king of Israel. Perhaps he will save our lives.”
Kinuna dagiti adipen ni Ben Hadad kenkuana, “Dumngegka, nangngegmi a dagiti ari iti balay ti Israel ket manangngaasi nga ar-ari. Pangngaasim ta palubosanakami a mangibidang iti nakirsang a lupot ken bedbedanmi iti tali ti ulomi, ket mapankami iti ari ti Israel. Barbareng no saannaka a papatayen.”
32 So they wrapped sackcloth around their waists, and they placed ropes on their heads. And they went to the king of Israel, and they said to him: “Your servant, Benhadad, says: ‘I beg you to let my soul live.’” And he replied, “If he is still alive, he is my brother.”
Nangibidangda ngarud iti nakirsang a lupot ken binedbedanda ti uloda iti tali ket napanda iti ari ti Israel ket kinunada, “Imbaga ti adipenmo a ni Ben Hadad, 'Pangngaasim ta palubusannak nga agbiag.”' Kinuna ni Ahab, “Sibibiag pay kadi isuna? Kabsatko isuna.”
33 The men accepted this as a good sign. And hastily, they took up the word from his mouth, and they said, “Benhadad is your brother.” And he said to them, “Go, and bring him to me.” Therefore, Benhadad went out to him, and he lifted him onto his chariot.
Ita dumdumngeg dagiti lallaki iti aniaman a pagilasinan manipud kenni Ahab, isu nga insungbatda a dagus kenkuana, “Wen, sibibiag ti kabsatmo a ni Ben Hadad.” Ket kinuna ni Ahab, “Mapankayo ket iyegyo isuna.” Ket napan ni Ben Hadad kenkuana, ket pinaglugan isuna ni Ahab iti karwahena.
34 And he said to him: “The cities that my father took from your father, I will return. And you may make streets for yourself in Damascus, just as my father made in Samaria. And after we have made a pact, I will withdraw from you.” Therefore, he formed a pact with him, and he released him.
Kinuna ni Ben Hadad kenni Ahab, “Isublik kenka dagiti siudad nga inagaw ti amak iti amam, ket mabalinmo iti aglako idiay Damasco, a kas iti inaramid ti amak idiay Samaria. Insungbat ni Ahab, “Palubosanka babaen iti daytoy a katulagan.” Nakitulag ngarud ni Ahab kenkuana ket kalpasanna pinalubosanna isuna a mapan.
35 Then a certain man from the sons of the prophets said to his associate, by the word of the Lord, “Strike me.” But he was not willing to strike.
Adda maysa a lalaki, maysa kadagiti annak a lallaki dagiti profeta, a kinunana iti padana a profeta babaen iti sao ni Yahweh, “Pangngaasim ta kabilennak.” Ngem nagkedked ti lalaki a mangkabil kenkuana.
36 And he said to him: “Because you were not willing to heed the voice of the Lord, behold, you will depart from me, and a lion will slay you. And when he had departed a short distance from him, a lion found him, and slew him.
Ket kinuna ti profeta iti padana a profeta, “Gapu ta saanka a nagtulnog iti timek ni Yahweh, apaman a panawannak, patayennakanto ti maysa a leon.” Ket apaman a pinanawan isuna dayta a tao, nasarakan isuna ti leon ket pinatay isuna ti leon.
37 But upon finding another man, he said to him, “Strike me.” And he struck him, and wounded him.
Ket nakasarak ti profeta iti sabali pay a tao ket kinunana, “Pangngaasim ta kabilennak.” Isu a kinabil isuna ti lalaki ket sinugatanna isuna.
38 Then the prophet departed. And he met the king along the way, and he changed his appearance by sprinkling dust around his mouth and eyes.
Ket pimmanaw ti profeta ket inurayna ti ari iti igid ti dalan; nanglimlimo isuna nga adda bedbed iti ngatoen dagiti matana.
39 And when the king had passed by, he cried out to the king, and he said: “Your servant went out to do battle in close quarters. And when one man had fled, a certain person brought him to me, and he said: ‘Guard this man. For if he slips away, your life will take the place of his life, or you will weigh out one talent of silver.’
Idi lumabasen ti ari, pinukkawan ti profeta ti ari ket kinunana, “Napan ti adipenmo iti kangitingitan ti gubat, ket nagsardeng iti maysa a soldado ket inyegna ti maysa a kabusor kaniak ket kinunana, 'Bantayam daytoy a tao. No mapukaw daytoy iti aniaman a wagas, ti biagmo ngarud ti kasukat ti biagna, wenno agmultaka iti maysa a talento ti pirak.'
40 And while I was distracted, turning one way and another, suddenly, he was not to be seen.” And the king of Israel said to him, “This is your judgment, that which you yourself have decreed.”
Ngem gapu ta adu ti pakakumikoman ti adipenmo, nakalibas ti kabusor a soldado.” Ket kinuna ti ari ti Israel kenkuana, “Daytoyto ti dusam-sika a mismo ti nangikeddeng iti daytoy.”
41 Then immediately, he wiped away the dust from his face, and the king of Israel recognized him, that he was one of the prophets.
Inikkat a dagus ti profeta ti bedbed dagiti matana, ket nabigbig ti ari ti Israel nga isuna ket maysa kadagiti profeta.
42 And he said to him: “Thus says the Lord: Because you have released from your hand a man worthy of death, your life will take the place of his life, and your people will take the place of his people.”
Kinuna ti profeta iti ari, “Ibagbaga ni Yahweh, 'Gapu ta pinalubosam ti tao nga inkeddengko a matay, ti biagmo ti kasukat ti biagna, ken dagiti tattaom kadagiti tattaona.'”
43 And so the king of Israel returned to his house, unwilling to listen, and a fury entered into Samaria.
Napan ngarud ti ari ti Israel iti balayna a nasakit ti nakemna ken makapungtot, ket nakasangpet idiay Samaria.
