2 Chronicles 18
1 Therefore, Jehoshaphat was wealthy and very famous, and he was joined by affinity to Ahab.
Nísinsin yìí Jehoṣafati sì ní ọrọ̀ àti ọlá púpọ̀, ó sì dá àna pẹ̀lú Ahabu nípa fífẹ́ ọmọ rẹ̀.
2 And after some years, he descended to him in Samaria. And upon his arrival, Ahab slaughtered very many sheep and oxen, for him and for the people who had arrived with him. And he persuaded him that he should ascend against Ramoth Gilead.
Lẹ́yìn ọjọ́ díẹ̀, ó sọ̀kalẹ̀ láti lọ bá Ahabu lálejò ní Samaria. Ahabu sì pa àgùntàn àti màlúù púpọ̀ fún àti àwọn ènìyàn tí ó wà pẹ̀lú rẹ̀ ó sì rọ̀ ọ́ láti dojú ìjà kọ Ramoti Gileadi.
3 And Ahab, the king of Israel, said to Jehoshaphat, the king of Judah, “Come with me to Ramoth Gilead.” And he answered him: “As I am, so also are you. As your people are, so also are my people. And we will be with you in war.”
Ahabu ọba Israẹli sì béèrè lọ́wọ́ ọba Jehoṣafati, ọba Juda pé, “Ṣé ìwọ yóò lọ pẹ̀lú mi sí Ramoti Gileadi?” Jehoṣafati sì dá a lóhùn pé, “Èmi wà gẹ́gẹ́ bí ìwọ ti ṣe wà, àti àwọn ènìyàn mi gẹ́gẹ́ bí ènìyàn rẹ àwa yóò pẹ̀lú rẹ nínú ogun náà”.
4 And Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel, “Consult, I beg you, the word of the Lord for the present circumstances.”
Ṣùgbọ́n Jehoṣafati náà sì tún wí fún ọba Israẹli pé, “Kọ́kọ́ béèrè lọ́wọ́ Olúwa.”
5 And so the king of Israel gathered together four hundred men of the prophets, and he said to them: “Should we go to war against Ramoth Gilead, or should we be quieted?” But they said, “Ascend, and God will deliver into the hand of the king.”
Bẹ́ẹ̀ ọba Israẹli kó àwọn wòlíì papọ̀, irinwó ọkùnrin ó sì bi wọ́n pé, “Kí àwa kí lọ sí ogun Ramoti Gileadi tàbí kí èmi kí ó jọ̀wọ́ rẹ?” Wọ́n dáhùn pé, “Lọ, nítorí tí Ọlọ́run yóò fi lé ọba lọ́wọ́.”
6 And Jehoshaphat said, “Is there not a prophet of the Lord here, so that we may inquire of him as well?”
Ṣùgbọ́n Jehoṣafati béèrè pé, “Ṣé kò ha sí wòlíì Olúwa níbí ẹni tí àwa ìbá béèrè lọ́wọ́ rẹ̀?”
7 And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat: “There is one man, from whom we would be able to ask the will of the Lord. But I hate him, for he never prophesies good to me, but at all times evil. And it is Micaiah, the son of Imlah.” And Jehoshaphat said, “You should not speak in this manner, O king.”
Ọba Israẹli dá Jehoṣafati lóhùn pé, “Ọkùnrin kan wà síbẹ̀ lọ́dọ̀ ẹni tí àwa ìbá tún béèrè lọ́wọ́ Olúwa, ṣùgbọ́n èmi kórìíra rẹ̀ nítorí kò jẹ́ sọ àsọtẹ́lẹ̀ ohun rere kan nípa mi ṣùgbọ́n bí kò ṣe ohun búburú, ní gbogbo ìgbà òun náà ni Mikaiah ọmọ Imla.” Jehoṣafati sì dá lóhùn pé, “Ọba kò gbọdọ̀ sọ bẹ́ẹ̀.”
8 Therefore, the king of Israel called one of the eunuchs, and said to him: “Quickly, summon Micaiah, the son of Imlah.”
Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ọba Israẹli pe ọ̀kan lára àwọn ìjòyè ó sì wí pé, “Ẹ mú Mikaiah ọmọ Imla kí ó yára wá.”
9 Now the king of Israel, and Jehoshaphat, the king of Judah, were both sitting upon their thrones, clothed in royal vestments. And they were sitting in an open area, beside the gate of Samaria. And all the prophets were prophesying before them.
Wọ́n wọ aṣọ ìgúnwà wọn, ọba Israẹli àti Jehoṣafati ọba Juda wọ́n jókòó sórí ìtẹ́ wọ́n ní ìta ẹnu-bodè Samaria, pẹ̀lú gbogbo àwọn wòlíì tí ń sọtẹ́lẹ̀ níwájú wọn.
10 Truly, 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 crush it.”
Nísinsin yìí Sedekiah ọmọ Kenaana sì ti ṣe ìwo irin, ó sì wí pé, “Èyí ni ohun tí Olúwa sọ: ‘Pẹ̀lú èyí ìwọ yóò kan àwọn ará Siria títí ìwọ ó fi pa wọ́n run.’”
11 And all the prophets prophesied similarly, and they said: “Ascend against Ramoth Gilead, and you shall prosper, and the Lord will deliver them into the hand of the king.”
Gbogbo àwọn wòlíì tí ó kù ni wọn ń sọtẹ́lẹ̀ ní àkókò kan náà. Wọ́n sì wí pé, “Dojúkọ Ramoti Gileadi ìwọ yóò sì ṣẹ́gun, nítorí Olúwa yóò fi lé ọba lọ́wọ́.”
12 Then the messenger who had gone to summon Micaiah said to him: “Lo, the words of all the prophets, with one mouth, announce good to the king. Therefore, I ask you that you not dissent from them in your word, and that you speak prosperity.”
Ìránṣẹ́ tí ó ti lọ pe Mikaiah sì wí fún un pé, “Ẹ wò ó, gẹ́gẹ́ bí ọkùnrin kan àti òmíràn wòlíì fi ẹnu kan sọ rere fún ọba. Jẹ́ kí ọ̀rọ̀ rẹ kí ó dàbí ọ̀kan nínú tiwọn, kí o sì sọ rere.”
13 And Micaiah responded to him, “As the Lord lives, whatever my God will say to me, the same shall I speak.”
Ṣùgbọ́n Mikaiah wí pe, “Gẹ́gẹ́ bí ó ti dájú pé Olúwa ń bẹ láààyè, èmi yóò sọ ohun tí Ọlọ́run mi sọ.”
14 Therefore, he went to the king. And the king said to him, “Micaiah, should we go to war against Ramoth Gilead, or should we be quieted?” And he responded to him: “Ascend. For everything will come to prosperity, and the enemies will be delivered into your hands.”
Nígbà tí ó dé, ọba béèrè lọ́wọ́ rẹ̀, “Mikaiah, ṣe kí àwa ki ó lọ sí ogun ti Ramoti Gileadi, tàbí kí àwa kí ó fàsẹ́yìn?” Ó sì dáhùn pé, “Ẹ dojúkọ wọ́n kí ẹ sì ṣẹ́gun, nítorí a ó fi wọ́n lé yín lọ́wọ́.”
15 And the king said, “Again and again, I bind you by an oath, so that you will not speak to me except what is true in the name of the Lord!”
Ọba sì wí fún un pé, “Ìgbà mélòó ni èmi ó fi ọ́ búra láti sọ ohun kan fún mi bí kò ṣe ọ̀rọ̀ òtítọ́ ní orúkọ Olúwa?”
16 Then he said: “I saw all of Israel scattered amid the mountains, like sheep without a shepherd. And the Lord said: ‘These have no masters. Let each one return in peace to his own house.’”
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.’”
17 And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat: “Did I not tell you that this one would not prophesy to me anything good, but only what is evil?”
Ọba Israẹli wí fún Jehoṣafati pé, “Ṣe èmi kò sọ fún ọ wí pé òun kò sọ àsọtẹ́lẹ̀ rere kankan nípa mi rí, ṣùgbọ́n búburú nìkan?”
18 Then he said: “Therefore, 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, on the right and on the left.
Mikaiah tẹ̀síwájú pé, “Nítorí náà, gbọ́ ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa, mo rí Olúwa jókòó lórí ìtẹ́ rẹ̀ gbogbo ogun ọ̀run sì dúró lápá ọ̀tún àti lápá òsì.
19 And the Lord said: ‘Who will deceive Ahab, the king of Israel, so that he may ascend and fall at Ramoth Gilead?’ And when one spoke in one way, and another in another way,
Olúwa sì wí pé, ‘Ta ni yóò tan Ahabu ọba Israẹli lọ sí Ramoti Gileadi kí ó sì lọ kú ikú rẹ̀ níbẹ̀?’ “Èkínní sì sọ tìhín, òmíràn sì sọ tọ̀hún.
20 there came forward a spirit, and he stood before the Lord and said, ‘I will deceive him.’ And the Lord said to him, ‘In what way will you deceive him?’
Ní ìparí, ni ẹ̀mí kan wá síwájú, ó dúró níwájú Olúwa ó sì wí pé, ‘Èmi yóò tàn án.’ “‘Nípa ọ̀nà wo?’ Olúwa béèrè.
21 And he responded, ‘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 and prevail. Go forth and do so.’
“‘Èmi yóò lọ láti lọ di ẹ̀mí èké ní ẹnu gbogbo àwọn wòlíì.’ “‘Ìwọ yóò sì borí nínú ìtànjẹ rẹ̀ báyìí,’ ni Olúwa wí. ‘Lọ kí ó sì ṣe bẹ́ẹ̀.’
22 Therefore now, behold: the Lord gave a lying spirit to the mouth of all your prophets, and the Lord has spoken evil about you.”
“Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni nísinsin yìí Olúwa ti fi ẹ̀mí èké sí ẹnu àwọn wòlíì rẹ. Olúwa sì ti sọ ibi sí ọ.”
23 Then Zedekiah, the son of Chenaanah, approached, and he struck Micaiah on the jaw, and he said: “In what way did the Spirit of the Lord depart from me, so that he would speak to you?”
Nígbà náà Sedekiah ọmọ Kenaana lọ sókè ó sì gbá Mikaiah ní ojú. Ó sì béèrè pé, “Ní ọ̀nà wo ni ẹ̀mí Olúwa gbà kọjá lọ kúrò lọ́dọ̀ mi láti bá ọ sọ̀rọ̀?”
24 And Micaiah said: “You yourself shall see it, in that day, when you will enter a room within a room, so that you may be hidden.”
Mikaiah sì dáhùn pé, “Ìwọ yóò ṣe ìwádìí ní ọjọ́ tí ìwọ yóò sá pamọ́ sínú ìyẹ̀wù.”
25 Then the king of Israel instructed, saying: “Take Micaiah, and lead him to Amon, the leader of the city, and to Joash, the son of Amalech.
Ọba Israẹli pa á láṣẹ pé, “Mú Mikaiah kí o sì ran padà sí Amoni olórí ìlú àti sí Joaṣi ọmọ ọba,
26 And you shall say: ‘Thus says the king: Send this man to prison, and give to him a little bread and a little water, until I return in peace.’”
Ó sì wí pé, ‘Èyí ni ohun tí ọba sọ, ẹ fi ènìyàn yìí sínú túbú kí ẹ má sì ṣe fún un ní ohunkóhun ṣùgbọ́n àkàrà àti omi títí tí èmi yóò fi dé ní àlàáfíà.’”
27 And Micaiah said, “If you will have returned in peace, the Lord has not spoken by me.” And he said, “May all the people listen.”
Mikaiah sì wí pe, “Tí ìwọ bá padà ní àlàáfíà, Olúwa kò sọ̀rọ̀ láti ọ̀dọ̀ mi.” Nígbà náà, ó sì fi kún un pé, “Ẹ gbọ́ ọ̀rọ̀ mi, gbogbo ẹ̀yin ènìyàn!”
28 And so, the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat, the king of Judah, ascended against Ramoth Gilead.
Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ọba Israẹli àti Jehoṣafati ọba Juda lọ sókè ní Ramoti Gileadi.
29 And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat: “I will change my clothing, and in this way I will go into battle. But you should be clothed in your own garments.” And the king of Israel, having changed his clothing, went to war.
Ọba Israẹli sọ fún Jehoṣafati pé, “Èmi yóò lọ sí ojú ìjà, ṣùgbọ́n ìwọ wọ aṣọ ìgúnwà rẹ.” Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ọba Israẹli pa aṣọ rẹ̀ dà, ó sì lọ sí ojú ìjà.
30 Now the king of Syria had instructed the commanders of his horsemen, saying, “You shall not fight against the least or the greatest, but only against the king of Israel.”
Nísinsin yìí ọba Siria ti pàṣẹ fún àwọn olórí kẹ̀kẹ́ tí ó wà ní ọ̀dọ̀ rẹ̀ pé, “Ẹ má ṣe jà pẹ̀lú ẹnìkankan, èwe tàbí àgbà àyàfi ọba Israẹli.”
31 And so, when the leaders of the horsemen had seen Jehoshaphat, they said, “This one is the king of Israel.” And while fighting, they surrounded him. But he cried out to the Lord, and he assisted him, and he turned them away from him.
Nígbà tí àwọn olórí kẹ̀kẹ́ rí Jehoṣafati, wọ́n rò wí pé, “Èyí ní ọba Israẹli.” Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni wọ́n sì yípadà láti bá a jà. Ṣùgbọ́n Jehoṣafati kégbe sókè, Olúwa sì ràn án lọ́wọ́. Ọlọ́run sì lé wọn kúrò lọ́dọ̀ rẹ̀,
32 For when the commanders of the horsemen had seen that he was not the king of Israel, they left him.
Ó sì ṣe, nígbà tí olórí kẹ̀kẹ́ rí i wí pé kì í ṣe ọba Israẹli, wọ́n sì dáwọ́ lílé rẹ̀ dúró.
33 Then it happened that one of the people shot an arrow indiscriminately, and it struck the king of Israel between the neck and the shoulder. And so he said to his chariot driver: “Turn your hand, and lead me away from the battle line. For I have been wounded.”
Ṣùgbọ́n ẹnìkan fa ọrun rẹ̀ láì pète, ó sì bá ọba Israẹli láàrín ìpàdé ẹ̀wù irin, ọba sì sọ fún olùtọ́jú kẹ̀kẹ́ rẹ̀ pé, “Yí ọwọ́ rẹ padà, kí o sì wà mí jáde kúrò lójú ìjà. Nítorí èmi ti gbọgbẹ́.”
34 And the fight ended on that day. But the king of Israel was standing in his chariot facing the Syrians, even until evening. And he died when the sun set.
Ní ọjọ́ pípẹ́, ìjà náà sì ń pọ̀ sí i, ọba Israẹli dúró nínú kẹ̀kẹ́ rẹ̀ kọjú sí àwọn ará Siria títí ó fi di àṣálẹ́. Lẹ́yìn náà ní àkókò ìwọ oòrùn, ó sì kú.
