< 1 Kings 20 >

1 And Benadad, king of Syria, gathered together all his host, and there were two and thirty kings with him, and horses, and chariots: and going up, he fought against Samaria, and 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 to Achab king of Israel into the city,
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 saith Benadad: Thy silver, and thy gold is mine: and thy wives, and thy goodliest children are mine.
'Kukuak ti pirak ken balitokmo. Kasta met dagiti assawa ken annakmo, dagiti kasasayaatan, ket kukuak itan.'”
4 And the king of Israel answered: According to thy word, my lord O king, I am thine, and all that I have.
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 came again, and said: Thus saith Benadad, who sent us unto thee: Thy silver, and thy gold, and thy wives, and thy children thou shalt deliver up 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 Tomorrow therefore at this same hour I will send my servants to thee, and they shall search thy house, and the houses of thy servants: and all that pleaseth them, they shall 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 And the king of Israel called all the ancients of the land, and said: Mark, and see that he layeth snares for us. For he sent to me for my wives, and for my children, and for my silver and gold: and I said not nay.
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 the ancients, and all the people said to him: Hearken not to him, nor consent to him.
Kinuna dagiti amin a panglakayen ken dagiti amin a tattao kenni Ahab, “Saanka a dumngeg kenkuana wenno patgan ti dawdawatenna.
9 Wherefore he answered the messengers of Benadad: Tell my lord the king: All that thou didst send for to me thy servant at first, I will do: but this thing I cannot 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 the messengers returning brought him word. And he sent again and said: Such and such things may the gods do to me, and more may they add, if the dust of Samaria shall suffice for handfuls for all the people that 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 the king of Israel answering, said: Tell him: Let not the girded boast himself as the 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 And it came to pass, when Benadad heard this word, that he and the kings were drinking in pavilions, and he said to his servants: Beset the city. And they beset 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 a prophet coming to Achab king of Israel, said to him: Thus saith the Lord: Hast thou seen all this exceeding great multitude, behold I will deliver them into thy hand this day: that thou mayest 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 Achab said: By whom? And he said to him: Thus saith the Lord: By the servants of the princes of the provinces. And he said: Who shall begin to fight? And he said: Thou.
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 So he mustered the servants of the princes of the provinces, and he found the number of two hundred and thirty-two: and he mustered after them the people, all the children of Israel, 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 noon. But Benadad was drinking himself drunk in his pavilion, and the two and thirty kings with him, who were come to help 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 And the servants of the princes of the provinces went out first. And Benadad sent. And they told him, saying: There are men come out of 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: Whether they come for peace, take them alive: or whether they come to fight, take them alive.
Kinuna ni Ben Hadad, “Tiliwenyo ida a sibibiag uray no umayda a makikapia wenno makigubat.”
19 So the servants of the princes of the provinces went out, and the rest of the army followed:
Rimmuar ngarud iti siudad dagiti agtutubo nga opisial nga agserserbi kadagiti gobernador dagiti distrito, ket sinurot ida ti armada.
20 And every one slew the man that came against him: and the Syrians fled, and Israel pursued after them. And Benadad king of Syria fled away on horseback 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 overthrew the horses and chariots, and slew 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 (And a prophet coming to the king of Israel, said to him: Go, and strengthen thyself, and know, and see what thou dost: for the next year the king of Syria will come up against thee.)
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 But the servants of the king of Syria said to him: Their gods are gods of the hills, therefore they have overcome us: but it is better that we should fight against them in the plains, and we shall overcome 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 Do thou therefore this thing: Remove all the kings from thy army, and put captains in their stead:
Ket aramidem pay daytoy: ikkatem dagiti ari, tunggal maysa iti idadauloanna, ket sukatam ida kadagiti kapitan ti armada.
25 And make up the number of soldiers that have been slain of thine, and horses according to the former horses, and chariots according to the chariots which thou hadst before: and we will fight against them in the plains, and thou shalt see that we shall overcome them. He believed their counsel and 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 Wherefore at the return of the year, Benadad mustered the Syrians, ancient up to Aphec, to fight against Israel.
Iti sumaruno a tawen, inummong ni Ben Hadad dagiti taga-Aram ket napanda idiay Afek tapno makirangetda iti Israel.
27 And the children of Israel were mustered, and taking victuals went out on the other side, and camped over against them, like two little hocks 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 a man of God coming, said to the king of Israel: Thus saith the Lord: Because the Syrians have said: The Lord is God of the hills, but is not God of the valleys: I will deliver all this great multitude into thy 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 both sides set their armies in array one against the other seven days, and on the seventh day the battle was fought: and the children of Israel slew of the Syrians a hundred thousand footmen 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 And they that remained fled to Aphec, into the city: and the wall fell upon seven and twenty thousand men, that were left. And Benadad fleeing went into the city, into a chamber that was within a chamber.
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 are merciful: so let us put sackcloth on our loins, and ropes on our heads, and 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 girded sackcloth on their loins, and put ropes on their heads, and came to the king of Israel, and said to him: Thy servant Benadad saith: I beseech thee let me have my life. And he said: If he be yet 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 took this for a sign: and in haste caught the word out of his mouth, and said: Thy brother Benadad. And he said to them: Go, and bring him to me. Then Benadad came out to him, and he lifted him up into 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 which my father took from thy father, I will restore: and do thou make thee streets in Damascus, as my father made in Samaria, and having made a league I will depart from thee. So he made a league with him, and let him go.
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 of the sons of the prophets said to his companion in the word of the Lord: Strike me. But he would not 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 Then he said to him: Because thou wouldst not hearken to the word of the Lord, behold then shalt depart from me, and a lion shall slay thee. And when he was gone a little 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 Then he found another man, and 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 So the prophet went, and met the king in the way, and disguised himself by sprinkling dust on his face and his eyes.
Ket pimmanaw ti profeta ket inurayna ti ari iti igid ti dalan; nanglimlimo isuna nga adda bedbed iti ngatoen dagiti matana.
39 And as the king passed by, he cried to the king, and said: Thy servant went out to fight hand to hand: and when a certain man was run away, one brought him to me, and said: Keep this man: and if he shall slip away, thy life shall be for his life, or thou shalt pay a 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 whilst I in a hurry turned this way and that, on a sudden he was not to be seen. And the king of Israel said to him: This is thy judgment, which thyself hast 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 But he forthwith wiped off the dust from his face, and the king of Israel knew 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 saith the Lord: Because thou hast let go out of thy hand a mall worthy of death, thy life shall be for his life, and thy people for 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 the king of Israel returned to his house, slighting to hear, and raging came into Samaria.
Napan ngarud ti ari ti Israel iti balayna a nasakit ti nakemna ken makapungtot, ket nakasangpet idiay Samaria.
