1 Kings 22
1 Then three years passed without war between Syria and Israel.
Fún ọdún mẹ́ta kò sì sí ogun láàrín Aramu àti Israẹli.
2 But in the third year, Jehoshaphat, the king of Judah, descended to the king of Israel.
Ṣùgbọ́n ní ọdún kẹta, Jehoṣafati ọba Juda sọ̀kalẹ̀ lọ láti rí ọba Israẹli.
3 And the king of Israel said to his servants, “Are you ignorant that Ramoth Gilead is ours, and that we have neglected to take it from the hand of the king of Syria?”
Ọba Israẹli sì ti wí fún àwọn ìránṣẹ́ rẹ̀ pé, “Ǹjẹ́ ẹ̀yin mọ̀ pé ti wa ni Ramoti Gileadi, àwa sì dákẹ́ síbẹ̀, a kò sì gbà á padà lọ́wọ́ ọba Aramu?”
4 And so he said to Jehoshaphat, “Will you come to the battle with me at Ramoth Gilead?”
Ó sì béèrè lọ́wọ́ Jehoṣafati pé, “Ṣé ìwọ yóò bá mi lọ láti lọ bá Ramoti Gileadi jà?” Jehoṣafati sì dá ọba Israẹli lóhùn pé, “Èmi bí ìwọ, ènìyàn mi bí ènìyàn rẹ, ẹṣin mi bí ẹṣin rẹ.”
5 And Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel: “As I am, so also are you. My people and your people are one. And my horsemen are your horsemen.” And Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel, “I beg you to inquire today of the word of the Lord.”
Ṣùgbọ́n Jehoṣafati sì tún wí fún ọba Israẹli pé, “Kọ́kọ́ béèrè lọ́wọ́ Olúwa.”
6 Therefore, the king of Israel gathered together the prophets, about four hundred men, and he said to them, “Should I go to Ramoth Gilead to make war, or should I be at peace?” They responded, “Ascend, and the Lord will give it into the hand of the king.”
Nígbà náà ni ọba Israẹli kó àwọn wòlíì jọ, bí irinwó ọkùnrin. Ó sì béèrè lọ́wọ́ wọn pé, “Ṣé kí n lọ sí Ramoti Gileadi lọ jagun, tàbí kí èmi kí ó jọ̀wọ́ rẹ̀?” Wọ́n sì dáhùn pé, “Lọ, nítorí tí Olúwa yóò fi lé ọba lọ́wọ́.”
7 Then Jehoshaphat said, “Is there not here a particular prophet of the Lord, so that we may inquire by him?”
Ṣùgbọ́n Jehoṣafati béèrè pé, “Ǹjẹ́ wòlíì Olúwa kan kò sí níhìn-ín, tí àwa ìbá béèrè lọ́wọ́ rẹ̀?”
8 And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat: “One man remains, by whom we may be able to inquire of the Lord: Micaiah, the son of Imlah. But I hate him. For he does not prophecy good to me, but evil.” And Jehoshaphat said, “You should not speak in this way, O king.”
Ọba Israẹli dá Jehoṣafati lóhùn pé, “Ọkùnrin kan ṣì wà, lọ́dọ̀ ẹni tí àwa lè béèrè lọ́wọ́ Olúwa, ṣùgbọ́n mo kórìíra rẹ̀ nítorí kì í sọ àsọtẹ́lẹ̀ rere kan nípa mi, bí kò ṣe ibi. Mikaiah ọmọ Imla ni.” Jehoṣafati sì wí pé, “Kí ọba má ṣe sọ bẹ́ẹ̀.”
9 Therefore, the king of Israel called a certain eunuch, and he said to him, “Hurry to bring here Micaiah, the son of Imlah.”
Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ọba Israẹli sì pe ìránṣẹ́ kan, ó sì wí pé, “Lọ yára mú Mikaiah, ọmọ Imla wá.”
10 Now the king of Israel, and Jehoshaphat, the king of Judah, were each sitting upon his own throne, clothed in the habit of royal vestments, in a courtyard beside the entrance of the gate of Samaria. And all the prophets were prophesying in their sight.
Ọba Israẹli àti Jehoṣafati ọba Juda jókòó lórí ìtẹ́ wọn, wọ́n wọ aṣọ ìgúnwà wọn ní ìta ẹnu ibodè Samaria, gbogbo àwọn wòlíì náà sì ń sọtẹ́lẹ̀ níwájú wọn.
11 Also, Zedekiah, the son of Chenaanah, made for himself horns of iron, and he said, “Thus says the Lord: With these, you shall threaten Syria, until you destroy it.”
Sedekiah ọmọ Kenaana sì ṣe ìwo irin fún ara rẹ̀, ó sì wí pé, “Báyìí ni Olúwa wí: ‘Wọ̀nyí ni ìwọ yóò fi kan àwọn ará Aramu títí ìwọ yóò fi run wọ́n.’”
12 And all the prophets were prophesying similarly, saying: “Ascend to Ramoth Gilead, and go forth to success. For the Lord will deliver it into the hands of the king.”
Gbogbo àwọn wòlíì tókù sì ń sọtẹ́lẹ̀ ohun kan náà wí pé, “Kọlu Ramoti Gileadi, kí o sì ṣẹ́gun.” Wọ́n sì wí pé, “Nítorí tí Olúwa yóò fi lé ọba lọ́wọ́.”
13 Then truly, the messenger who had gone to summon Micaiah spoke to him, saying: “Behold, the words of the prophets, as if with one mouth, are predicting good to the king. Therefore, let your word be like theirs, and speak what is good.”
Ìránṣẹ́ tí ó lọ pe Mikaiah wí fún un pé, “Wò ó, ẹnu kan náà ni ọ̀rọ̀ àwọn wòlíì fi jẹ́ rere fún ọba. Jẹ́ kí ọ̀rọ̀ rẹ bá ti àwọn tókù mu, kí o sì sọ rere.”
14 But Micaiah said to him, “As the Lord lives, whatever the Lord will have said to me, this shall I speak.”
Ṣùgbọ́n Mikaiah wí pé, “Bí Olúwa ti wà, ohun tí Olúwa bá sọ fún mi ni èmi yóò sọ fún un.”
15 And so he went to the king. And the king said to him, “Micaiah, should we go to Ramoth Gilead to do battle, or should we cease?” And he responded to him, “Ascend, and go forth to success, and the Lord will deliver it into the hands of the king.”
Nígbà tí ó sì dé, ọba sì béèrè lọ́wọ́ rẹ̀ pé, “Mikaiah, ṣé kí a lọ bá Ramoti Gileadi jagun, tàbí kí a jọ̀wọ́ rẹ̀?” Ó sì dáhùn wí pé, “Lọ, kí o sì ṣẹ́gun, nítorí Olúwa yóò fi lé ọba lọ́wọ́.”
16 But the king said to him, “I require you under oath, again and again, that you not say to me anything except what is true, in the name of the Lord.”
Ọba sì wí fún un pé, “Ìgbà mélòó ni èmi yóò fi ọ bú pé kí o má ṣe sọ ohun kan fún mi bí kò ṣe òtítọ́ ní orúkọ Olúwa?”
17 And he said: “I saw all of Israel scattered among the hills, like sheep that have no shepherd. And the Lord said: ‘These have no master. Let each of them return to his own house in peace.’”
Mikaiah sì dáhùn pé, “Mo rí gbogbo Israẹli túká kiri lórí àwọn òkè bí àgùntàn tí kò ní olùṣọ́, Olúwa sì wí pé, ‘Àwọn wọ̀nyí kò ní olúwa. Jẹ́ kí olúkúlùkù padà sí ilé rẹ̀ ní àlàáfíà.’”
18 Therefore, the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat: “Did I not tell you that he prophesies nothing good to me, but always evil?”
Ọba Israẹli sì wí fún Jehoṣafati pé, “Ǹjẹ́ èmi kò sọ fún ọ pé kò sọ àsọtẹ́lẹ̀ ìre kan sí mi rí bí kò ṣe ibi?”
19 Yet truly, continuing, he said: “Because of his, listen to the word of the Lord. I saw the Lord sitting upon his throne. And the entire army of heaven was standing beside him, to the right and to the left.
Mikaiah sì tún wí pé, “Nítorí náà gbọ́ ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa. Mo rí Olúwa jókòó lórí ìtẹ́ rẹ̀ pẹ̀lú gbogbo ogun ọ̀run dúró ní apá ọ̀tún àti ní apá òsì rẹ̀.
20 And the Lord said, ‘Who will mislead Ahab, the king of Israel, so that he may ascend and fall at Ramoth Gilead?’ And one spoke words in this manner, and another spoke otherwise.
Olúwa sì wí pé, ‘Ta ni yóò tan Ahabu láti kọlu Ramoti Gileadi? Kí ó sì tọ ikú rẹ̀ lọ níbẹ̀?’ “Ẹnìkan wí báyìí, ẹlòmíràn sì sọ òmíràn.
21 But then a spirit went out and stood before the Lord. And he said, ‘I will mislead him.’ And the Lord said to him, ‘By what means?’
Ẹ̀mí kan sì jáde wá, ó sì dúró níwájú Olúwa, ó sì wí pé, ‘Èmi yóò tàn án.’
22 And he said, ‘I will go forth, and I will be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets.’ And the Lord said: ‘You will deceive him, and you will prevail. Go forth, and do so.’
“Olúwa sì béèrè pé, ‘Báwo?’ “Ó sì wí pé, ‘Èmi yóò jáde lọ, èmi yóò sì di ẹ̀mí èké ní ẹnu gbogbo àwọn wòlíì rẹ̀.’ “Olúwa sì wí pé, ‘Ìwọ yóò tàn án, ìwọ yóò sì borí, jáde lọ, kí o sì ṣe bẹ́ẹ̀.’
23 So now, behold: the Lord has given a lying spirit into the mouth of all your prophets who are here. And the Lord has spoken evil against you.”
“Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni Olúwa ti fi ẹ̀mí èké sí ẹnu gbogbo àwọn wòlíì rẹ wọ̀nyí. Olúwa sì ti sọ ibi sí ọ.”
24 Then Zedekiah, the son of Chenaanah, drew near and struck Micaiah on the jaw, and he said, “So then, has the Spirit of the Lord left me, and spoken to you?”
Nígbà náà ni Sedekiah ọmọ Kenaana sì dìde, ó sì gbá Mikaiah lójú, ó sì wí pé, “Ọ̀nà wo ni ẹ̀mí Olúwa gbà lọ kúrò lọ́dọ̀ mi láti bá ọ sọ̀rọ̀?”
25 And Micaiah said, “You shall see in the day when you will enter into a room within a room, so that you may conceal yourself.”
Mikaiah sì dáhùn pé, “Ìwọ yóò ṣe ìwádìí ní ọjọ́ tí ìwọ yóò sá pamọ́ sínú ìyẹ̀wù.”
26 And the king of Israel said: “Take Micaiah, and let him dwell with Amon, the ruler of the city, and with Joash, the son of Amalech.
Ọba Israẹli sì pàṣẹ pé, “Ẹ mú Mikaiah, kí ẹ sì mú un padà sọ́dọ̀ Amoni, olórí ìlú, àti sọ́dọ̀ Joaṣi ọmọ ọba
27 And tell them: ‘Thus says the king: Put this man in prison, and sustain him with the bread of affliction, and with the water of distress, until I return in peace.’”
kí ẹ sì wí pé, ‘Báyìí ni ọba wí: Ẹ fi eléyìí sínú túbú, kí ẹ sì fi oúnjẹ ìpọ́njú àti omi ìpọ́njú bọ́ ọ, títí èmi yóò fi padà bọ̀ ní àlàáfíà.’”
28 And Micaiah said, “If you will have returned in peace, the Lord has not spoken through me.” And he said, “May all the people hear it.”
Mikaiah sì wí pé, “Bí ìwọ bá padà bọ̀ ní àlàáfíà, Olúwa kò ti ipa mi sọ̀rọ̀.” Ó sì tún wí pé, “Ẹ kíyèsi ọ̀rọ̀ mi, ẹ̀yin ènìyàn gbogbo!”
29 And so, the king of Israel, and Jehoshaphat, the king of Judah, ascended to Ramoth Gilead.
Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ọba Israẹli àti Jehoṣafati ọba Juda gòkè lọ sí Ramoti Gileadi.
30 Then the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat: “Take up your armor, and enter the battle. And be clothed in your own garments.” But the king of Israel changed his clothing, and he entered the war.
Ọba Israẹli sì wí fún Jehoṣafati pé, “Èmi yóò pa aṣọ dà, èmi yóò sì lọ sí ojú ìjà, ṣùgbọ́n ìwọ yóò wọ aṣọ ìgúnwà rẹ.” Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ọba Israẹli pa aṣọ dà, ó sì lọ sí ojú ìjà.
31 Now the king of Syria had instructed the thirty-two commanders of the chariots, saying, “You shall not fight against anyone, small or great, except against the king of Israel alone.”
Ọba Aramu ti pàṣẹ fún àwọn olórí kẹ̀kẹ́ rẹ̀ méjìlélọ́gbọ̀n wí pé, “Ẹ má ṣe bá ẹnìkankan jà, ẹni kékeré tàbí ẹni ńlá, bí kò ṣe ọba Israẹli nìkan.”
32 Therefore, when the commanders of the chariots saw Jehoshaphat, they suspected that he was the king of Israel. And making a violent assault, they fought against him. And Jehoshaphat cried out.
Nígbà tí àwọn olórí kẹ̀kẹ́ sì rí Jehoṣafati, wọ́n sì wí pé, “Dájúdájú ọba Israẹli ni èyí.” Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni wọ́n yípadà láti bá a jà, ṣùgbọ́n nígbà tí Jehoṣafati sì kígbe sókè,
33 And the commanders of the chariots understood that he was not the king of Israel, and so they turned away from him.
àwọn olórí kẹ̀kẹ́ sì rí i pé kì í ṣe ọba Israẹli, wọ́n sì padà kúrò lẹ́yìn rẹ̀.
34 But a certain man bent his bow, aiming the arrow without certitude, and by chance he struck the king of Israel, between the lungs and the stomach. Then he said to the driver of his chariot, “Turn your hand, and carry me away from the army, for I have been grievously wounded.”
Ṣùgbọ́n ẹnìkan sì fa ọrun rẹ̀ láìròtẹ́lẹ̀, ó sì ta ọba Israẹli láàrín ìpàdé ẹ̀wù irin. Ọba Israẹli sì wí fún olùtọ́jú kẹ̀kẹ́ rẹ̀ pé, “Yí ọwọ́ rẹ dà, kí o sì mú mi jáde kúrò nínú ogun. Èmi ti gbọgbẹ́.”
35 Then the battle was undertaken throughout that day. And the king of Israel was standing on his chariot opposite the Syrians, and he died in the evening. For the blood was flowing from the wound into the joints of the chariot.
Ogun náà sì le ní ọjọ́ náà, a sì dá ọba dúró nínú kẹ̀kẹ́ kọjú sí àwọn ará Aramu. Ẹ̀jẹ̀ sì sàn jáde láti inú ọgbẹ́ rẹ̀ sí àárín kẹ̀kẹ́ náà, ó sì kú ní àṣálẹ́.
36 And a herald proclaimed throughout the entire army, before the setting of the sun, saying: “Let each one return to his own city, and to his own land.”
A sì kéde la ibùdó já ní àkókò ìwọ̀-oòrùn wí pé, “Olúkúlùkù sí ìlú rẹ̀ àti olúkúlùkù sí ilẹ̀ rẹ̀!”
37 Then the king died, and he was carried into Samaria. And they buried the king in Samaria.
Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ọba kú, a sì gbé e wá sí Samaria, wọ́n sì sin ín ní Samaria.
38 And they washed his chariot in the pool of Samaria. And the dogs licked up his blood. And they washed the reins, in accord with the word of the Lord which he had spoken.
Wọ́n sì wẹ kẹ̀kẹ́ náà ní adágún Samaria, àwọn ajá sì lá ẹ̀jẹ̀ rẹ̀, àwọn àgbèrè sì wẹ ara wọn nínú rẹ̀ gẹ́gẹ́ bí ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa ti sọ.
39 But the rest of the words of Ahab, and all that he did, and the house of ivory that he built, and all the cities that he constructed, were these not written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Israel?
Ní ti ìyókù ìṣe Ahabu, àti gbogbo èyí tí ó ṣe, àti ilé eyín erin tí ó kọ́, àti gbogbo ìlú tí ó tẹ̀dó, a kò ha kọ wọ́n sínú ìwé ọ̀rọ̀ ọjọ́ àwọn ọba Israẹli?
40 And so, Ahab slept with his fathers. And Ahaziah, his son, reigned in his place.
Ahabu sì sùn pẹ̀lú àwọn baba rẹ̀. Ahasiah ọmọ rẹ̀ sì jẹ ọba ní ipò rẹ̀.
41 Yet truly, Jehoshaphat, the son of Asa, had begun to reign over Judah in the fourth year of Ahab, the king of Israel.
Jehoṣafati ọmọ Asa, sì bẹ̀rẹ̀ sí ní jẹ ọba lórí Juda ní ọdún kẹrin Ahabu ọba Israẹli.
42 He was thirty-five years old when he had begun to reign, and he reigned for twenty-five years in Jerusalem. The name of his mother was Azubah, the daughter of Shilhi.
Jehoṣafati sì jẹ́ ẹni ọdún márùndínlógójì nígbà tí ó bẹ̀rẹ̀ sí ń jẹ ọba ní ọdún mẹ́ẹ̀ẹ́dọ́gbọ̀n ní Jerusalẹmu. Orúkọ ìyá rẹ̀ ni Asuba ọmọbìnrin Silihi.
43 And he walked in the entire way of Asa, his father, and he did not decline from it. And he did what was right in the sight of the Lord. Yet truly, he did not take away the high places. For still the people were sacrificing and burning incense in the high places.
Ó sì rìn nínú gbogbo ọ̀nà Asa baba rẹ̀, kò sì yípadà kúrò nínú rẹ̀; ó sì ṣe èyí tí ó tọ́ ní ojú Olúwa. Kìkì àwọn ibi gíga ni a kò mú kúrò, àwọn ènìyàn sì ń rú ẹbọ, wọ́n sì ń sun tùràrí níbẹ̀.
44 And Jehoshaphat had peace with the king of Israel.
Jehoṣafati sì wà ní àlàáfíà pẹ̀lú ọba Israẹli.
45 But the rest of the words of Jehoshaphat, and his works that he did, and the battles, were these not written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Judah?
Ní ti ìyókù ìṣe Jehoṣafati àti ìṣe agbára rẹ̀ tí ó ṣe, àti bí ó ti jagun sí, a kò ha kọ wọ́n sínú ìwé ọ̀rọ̀ ọjọ́ àwọn ọba Juda?
46 Then, too, the remnant of the effeminate, who had remained in the days of Asa, his father, he took away from the land.
Ó pa ìyókù àwọn ọkùnrin alágbèrè ojúbọ òrìṣà ní ọjọ́ Asa baba rẹ̀ run kúrò ní ilẹ̀ náà.
47 At that time, there was no king appointed in Idumea.
Nígbà náà kò sí ọba ní Edomu; adelé kan ni ọba.
48 Yet truly, king Jehoshaphat had made a navy on the sea, which would sail to Ophir for gold. But they were unable to go, because the ships were broken down at Eziongeber.
Jehoṣafati kan ọkọ̀ Tarṣiṣi láti lọ sí Ofiri fún wúrà, ṣùgbọ́n wọn kò lọ, nítorí àwọn ọkọ̀ náà fọ́ ní Esioni-Geberi.
49 Then Ahaziah, the son of Ahab, said to Jehoshaphat, “Let my servants go with your servants on the ships.” But Jehoshaphat was not willing.
Ní ìgbà náà Ahasiah ọmọ Ahabu wí fún Jehoṣafati pé, “Jẹ́ kí àwọn ìránṣẹ́ mi bá àwọn ìránṣẹ́ rẹ lọ nínú ọkọ̀,” ṣùgbọ́n Jehoṣafati kọ̀.
50 And Jehoshaphat slept with his fathers, and he was buried with them in the city of David, his father. And Jehoram, his son, reigned in his place.
Nígbà náà ni Jehoṣafati sùn pẹ̀lú àwọn baba rẹ̀, a sì sin ín pẹ̀lú àwọn baba rẹ̀ ní ìlú Dafidi, baba rẹ. Jehoramu ọmọ rẹ̀ sì jẹ ọba ní ipò rẹ̀.
51 Then Ahaziah, the son of Ahab, began to reign over Israel, in Samaria, in the seventeenth year of Jehoshaphat, the king of Judah. And he reigned over Israel for two years.
Ahasiah ọmọ Ahabu bẹ̀rẹ̀ sí jẹ ọba lórí Israẹli ní Samaria ní ọdún kẹtàdínlógún Jehoṣafati ọba Juda, ó sì jẹ ọba ní ọdún méjì lórí Israẹli.
52 And he did evil in the sight of the Lord. And he walked in the way of his father and his mother, and in the way of Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, who caused Israel to sin.
Ó sì ṣe búburú níwájú Olúwa, nítorí tí ó rìn ní ọ̀nà baba rẹ̀, àti ní ọ̀nà ìyá rẹ̀, àti ní ọ̀nà Jeroboamu ọmọ Nebati, tí ó mú Israẹli dẹ́ṣẹ̀.
53 Also, he served Baal, and he adored him, and he provoked the Lord, the God of Israel, in accord with all that his father had done.
Ó sì sin Baali, ó sì ń bọ Baali, ó sì mú Olúwa, Ọlọ́run Israẹli bínú, gẹ́gẹ́ bí i baba rẹ̀ ti ṣe.
