< 1 Kings 22 >

1 And there passed three years without war between Syria and Israel.
Ary nandry fahizay ny Syriana sy ny Isiraely telo taona, fa tsy niady.
2 And in the third year, Josaphat king of Juda came down to the king of Israel.
Ary nony tamin’ ny taona fahatelo, dia nidina Josafata, mpanjakan’ ny Joda, ho any amin’ ny mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely.
3 (And the king of Israel said to his servants: Know ye not-that Ramoth Galaad is ours, and we neglect to take it out of the hand of the king of Syria?)
Ary hoy ny mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely tamin’ ny mpanompony: Moa fantatrareo va fa antsika Ramota-gileada, nefa isika mitoetra foana ka tsy maka azy amin’ ny tanan’ ny mpanjakan’ i Syria?
4 And he said to Josaphat: Wilt thou come with me to battle to Ramoth Galaad?
Ary hoy koa izy tamin’ i Josafata: Mba hiaraka amiko hiady an’ i Ramota-gileada va ianao? Dia hoy Josafata tamin’ ny mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely. Eny, fa tahaka ny tenanao ihany aho, ka ny oloko dia olonao, ary ny soavaliko dia soavalinao.
5 And Josaphat said to the king of Israel: As I am, so art thou: my people and thy people are one: and my horsemen, thy horsemen. And Josaphat said to the king of Israel: Inquire, I beseech thee, this day, the word of the Lord.
Ary hoy Josafata tamin’ ny mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely: Masìna ianao, anontanio aloha ny tenin’ i Jehovah.
6 Then the king of Israel assembled the prophets, about four hundred men, and he said to them: Shall I go to Ramoth Galaad to fight, or shall I forbear? They answered: Go up, and the Lord will deliver it into the hand of the king.
Ary ny mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely dia nanangona ny mpaminany tokony ho efa-jato lahy ka nanao taminy hoe: Handena hanafika an’ i Ramota-gileada va aho, sa hijanona ihany? Dia hoy ireo: Mandehana, fa hatolotry ny Tompo eo an-tananao izy, ry mpanjaka.
7 And Josaphat said: Is there not here some prophet of the Lord, that we may inquire by him?
Ary hoy kosa Josafata: Moa tsy misy mpaminanin’ i Jehovah koa va eto mba hanontaniantsika?
8 And the king of Israel said to Josaphat: There is one man left, by whom we may inquire of the Lord: Micheas the son of Jemla; but I hate him, for he doth not prophesy good to me, but evil. And Josaphat said: Speak not so, O king.
Dia hoy ny mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely tamin’ i Josafata: Mbola misy lehilahy iray ihany, dia Mikaia, zanak’ i Jimla, izay ahazoantsika manontany amin’ i Jehovah, saingy halako izy, satria tsy mba maminany soa ho ahy izy, fa loza ihany. Dia hoy Josafata: Aza manao izany, ry mpanjaka.
9 Then the king of Israel called an eunuch, and said to him: Make haste, and bring hither Micheas the son of Jemla.
Ary ny mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely niantso ny tandapa anankiray ka nanao taminy hoe: Alao faingana Mikaia, zanak’ i Jimla.
10 Then the king of Israel, and Josaphat king of Juda, sat each on his throne clothed with royal robes, in a court by the entrance of the gate of Samaria, and all the prophets prophesied before them.
Ary ny mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely sy Josafata, mpanjakan’ ny Joda, samy nipetraka teo amin’ ny seza fiandrianany avy teo amin’ ny famoloana eo anoloan’ ny vavahadin’ i Samaria sady samy efa niakanjo ny akanjony avy; ary ny mpaminany rehetra naminany teo matrehany.
11 And Sedecias the son of Chanaana made himself horns of iron, and said: Thus saith the Lord: With these shalt thou push Syria, till thou destroy it.
Ary Zedekia, zanak’ i Kenana, dia nanao tandroby ka nanao hoe: Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah: ireto no hanotoanao ny Syriana mandra-paharingany.
12 And all the prophets prophesied in like manner, saying: Go up to Ramoth Galaad, and prosper, for the Lord will deliver it into the king’s hands.
Ary ny mpaminany rehetra naminany toy izany koa hoe: Mandehana any Ramota-gileada, dia hambinina ianao; fa Jehovah hanolotra azy eo an-tananao, ry mpanjaka.
13 And the messenger, that went to call Micheas, spoke to him, saying: Behold the words of the prophets with one month declare good things to the king: let thy word therefore be like to theirs, and speak that which is good.
Ary ilay iraka izay nandeha naka an’ i Mikaia niteny taminy hoe: Indro fa efa iray teny avokoa izao ny mpaminany ka milaza soa ho an’ ny mpanjaka; masìna ianao, aoka re ny teninao mba ho tahaka ny an’ ny anankiray amin’ ireo, ka mba mitenena soa koa.
14 But Micheas said to him: As the Lord liveth, whatsoever the Lord shall say to me, that will I speak.
Ary hoy Mikaia: Raha velona koa Jehovah, dia izay lazain’ i Jehovah amiko ihany no hambarako.
15 So he came to the king, and the king said to him: Micheas, shall we go to Ramoth Galaad to battle, or shall we forbear? He answered him: Go up, and prosper, and the Lord shall deliver it into the king’s hands.
Dia nankany amin’ ny mpanjaka izy. Ary hoy ny mpanjaka taminy: Ry Mikaia, handeha hanafika an’ i Ramota-gileada va isika, sa hijanona ihany? Ary izy namaly azy hoe: Mandehana, fa hambinina ianao, fa hatolotr’ i Jehovah eo an-tananao izy, ry mpanjaka.
16 But the king said to him: I adjure thee again and again, that thou tell me nothing but that which is true in the name of the Lord.
Ary hoy ny mpanjaka taminy: Impiry no hampianianako anao mba tsy hilaza na inona na inona amiko amin’ ny anaran’ i Jehovah afa-tsy izay marina ihany
17 And he said: I saw all Israel scattered upon the hills, like sheep that have no shepherd: and the Lord said: These have no master: let every man of them return to his house in peace.
Dia hoy Mikaia Hitako fa indreny ny Isiraely rehetra niely teny an-tendrombohitra toy ny ondry tsy misy mpiandry, ary hoy Jehovah: Ireto efa tsy manan-tompo, aoka izy samy hody soa aman-tsara any an-tranony avy.
18 (Then the king of Israel said to Josaphat: Did I not tell thee, that he prophesieth no good to me, but always evil?)
Dia hoy ny mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely tamin’ i Josafata: Tsy efa voalazako taminao va fa tsy mba mety maminany soa ho ahy izy, fa loza ihany?
19 And he added and said: Hear thou therefore the word of the Lord: I saw the Lord sitting on his throne, and all the army of heaven standing by him on the right hand and on the left:
Ary hoy Mikaia: Henoy ary ny tenin’ i Jehovah: Nahita an’ i Jehovah nipetraka teo amin’ ny seza fiandrianany aho, ary ireo maro be rehetra any an-danitra nitsangana teo an-daniny avy, dia teo amin’ ny ankavanany sy teo amin’ ny ankaviany.
20 And the Lord said: Who shall deceive Achab king of Israel, that he may go up, and fall at Ramoth Galaad? And one spoke words of this manner, and another otherwise.
Ary hoy Jehovah: Iza no hitaona an’ i Ahaba handeha ho any Ramotagileada ka ho lavo any? Ary ny anankiray niteny toy izao, ary ny anankiray kosa niteny toy izao.
21 And there came forth a spirit, and stood before the Lord, and said: I will deceive him. And the Lord said to him: By what means?
Dia nandroso ny fanahy ka nitsangana teo anatrehan’ i Jehovah ary nanao hoe: Izaho no hitaona azy. Ary hoy Jehovah taminy: Amin’ inona anefa?
22 And he said: I will go forth, and be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets. And the Lord said: Thou shalt deceive him, and shalt prevail: a go forth, and do so.
Dia hoy izy: Hivoaka aho ka ho tonga fanahy mandainga ao am-bavan’ ny mpaminaniny rehetra. Dia hoy indray Jehovah: Ho voataonanao ihany izy, ka hahatanteraka ianao; mivoaha ary, ka ataovy izany.
23 Now therefore behold the Lord hath given a lying spirit in the mouth of all thy prophets that are here, and the Lord hath spoken evil against thee.
Koa, indro, Jehovah efa nanisy fanahy mandainga ao am-bavan’ ireto mpaminaninao rehetra ireto ary Izy koa efa nilaza ny loza hanjo anao.
24 And Sedecias the son of Chanaana came, and struck Micheas on the cheek, and said: Hath then the spirit of the Lord left me, and spoken to thee?
Fa Zedekia, zanak’ i Kenana, nanatona, dia namely ny takolak’ i Mikaia sady nanao hoe: Taiza no nialan’ ny Fanahin’ i Jehovah tamiko hiteny aminao?
25 And Micheas said: Thou shalt see in the day when thou shalt go into a chamber within a chamber to hide thyself.
Dia hoy Mikaia: Indro, ho hitanao izany amin’ ny andro hidiranao ao amin’ ny efi-trano anatiny hierenao.
26 And the king of Israel said: Take Micheas, and let him abide with Ammon the governor of the city, and with Joas the son of Amalech.
Dia hoy ny mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely: Raiso Mikaia, ka ento miverina izy ho any amin’ i Amona, komandin’ ny tanàna, sy ho any amin’ i Joasy, zanaky ny mpanjaka,
27 And tell them: Thus saith the king: Put this man in prison, and feed him with bread of affliction, and water of distress, till I return in peace.
ka lazao hoe: Izao no lazain’ ny mpanjaka: Ataovy ao an-trano-maizina ilehity, ka fahano mofom-pahoriana sy ranom-pahoriana izy mandra-pahatongako soa aman-tsara.
28 And Micheas said: If thou return in peace, the Lord hath not spoken by me. And he said: Hear, all ye people.
Fa hoy Mikaia: Raha tàhiny ho tafaverina soa aman-tsara ianao dia tsy nampitenenin’ i Jehovah aho tsy akory. Ary hoy koa izy: Samia mihaino izany ianareo, ry firenena rehetra.
29 So the king of Israel, and Josaphat king of Juda went up to Ramoth Galaad.
Dia niakatra nankany Ramota-gileada ny mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely sy Josafata, mpanjakan’ ny Joda.
30 And the king of Israel said to Josaphat: Take armour, and go into the battle, and put on thy own garments. But the king of Israel changed his dress, and went into the battle.
Ary hoy ny mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely tamin’ i Josafata: Hody olon-kafa aho ka hitsarapaka any anatin’ ny ady, fa ianao kosa dia miakanjoa ny akanjonao ihany. Dia nody olon-kafa ny mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely ka nitsarapaka tany anatin’ ny ady.
31 And the king of Syria had commanded the two and thirty captains of the chariots, saying: You shall not fight against any, small or great, but against the king of Israel only.
Fa ny mpanjakan’ i Syria efa nandidy ny roa amby telo-polo lahy, komandin’ ny kalesy, nanao hoe: Aza miady na amin’ ny kely na amin’ ny lehibe, afa-tsy amin’ ny mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely ihany.
32 So when the captains of the chariots saw Josaphat, they suspected that he was the king of Israel, and making a violent assault they fought against him: and Josaphat cried out.
Ary nony nahita an’ i Josafata ireo komandin’ ny kalesy, dia hoy izy: Iny mihitsy no mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely. Dia nanatrika hiady taminy ireo; ka dia niantsoantso Josafata.
33 And the captains of the chariots perceived that he was not the king of and they turned away from him.
Ary rehefa hitan’ ireo komandin’ ny kalesy fa tsy ny mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely izy, dia niverina niala taminy ireo.
34 And a certain man bent his bow, shooting at a venture, and chanced to strike the king of Israel between the lungs and the stomach. But he said to the driver of his chariot: Turn thy hand, and carry me out of the army, for I am grievously wounded.
Ary nisy lehilahy anankiray nandefa zana-tsipìka kitoatoa ka nahavoa ny mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely teo anelanelan’ ny fiarovan-tratrany sy ny eo ambaniny; ka dia hoy izy tamin’ ny mpampandeha ny kalesiny: Ahodino, ka ento miala eto amin’ ny ady aho, fa voa.
35 And the battle was fought that day, and the king of Israel stood in his chariot against the Syrians, and he died in the evening: and the blood ran out of the wound into the midst of the chariot.
Ary nihamafy ny ady tamin’ izany andro izany; ary ny mpanjaka notohanana hitsangana teo amin’ ny kalesiny tandrifin’ ny Syriana, ary dia maty izy nony efa harivariva ny andro; ary ny rà nandeha avy teo amin’ ny efa voa ho ao anatin’ ny kalesy.
36 And the herald proclaimed through all the army before the sun set, saying: Let every man return to his own city, and to his own country.
Ary nony efa hilentika ny masoandro, dia niely eran’ ny toby rehetra izao antsoantso izao hoe: Samia mody any an-tanànany avy sy any amin’ ny taniny avy!
37 And the king died, and was carried into Samaria: and they buried the king in Samaria.
Dia maty ny mpanjaka, ka nentina tany Samaria izy, dia nalevina tao.
38 And they washed his chariot in the pool of Samaria, and the dogs licked up his blood, and they washed the reins, according to the word of the Lord which he had spoken.
Ary nony nosasana teo am-parihin’ i Samaria ny kalesiny, dia avy ny alika nilelaka ny ràny raha nandro tao ny vehivavy janga araka ny tenin’ i Jehovah.
39 But the rest of the acts of Achab, and all that he did, and the house of ivory that he made, and all the cities that he built, are they not written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Israel?
Ary ny tantaran’ i Ahaba sisa mbamin’ izay rehetra nataony sy ny trano ivory izay nataony ary ny tanàna rehetra izay naoriny, tsy efa voasoratra ao amin’ ny bokin’ ny tantaran’ ny mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely va izany?
40 So Achab slept with his fathers, and Ochozias his son reigned in his stead.
Ary Ahaba lasa nodi-mandry any amin’ ny razany; ary Ahazia zanany no nanjaka nandimby azy.
41 But Josaphat the son of Asa began to reign over Juda in the fourth year of Achab king of Israel.
Ary Josafata, zanak’ i Asa, vao nanjaka tamin’ ny Joda tamin’ ny taona fahefatra nanjakan’ i Ahaba, mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely.
42 He was five and thirty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned five and twenty years in Jerusalem: the name of his mother was Azuba the daughter of Salai.
Dimy amby telo-polo taona Josafata, fony izy vao nanjaka, ary dimy amby roa-polo taona no nanjakany tany Jerosalema. Ary ny anaran-dreniny dia Azoba, zanakavavin’ i Sily.
43 And he walked in all the way of Asa his father, and he declined not from it: and he did that which was right in the sight of the Lord. Nevertheless he took not away the high places: for as Set the people offered sacrifices and burnt incense in the high places.
Ary nandeha tamin’ ny lalana rehetra izay nalehan’ i Asa rainy izy ka tsy niala tamin’ izany, fa nanao izay mahitsy eo imason’ i Jehovah; kanefa kosa ny fitoerana avo tsy mba noravana, fa ny olona mbola namono zavatra hatao fanatitra sady mbola nandoro ditin-kazo manitra teny amin’ ny fitoerana avo ihany.
44 And Josaphat had peace with the king of Israel.
Ary Josafata nanao fihavanana tamin’ ny mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely.
45 But the rest of the acts of Josaphat, and his works which he did, and his batties, are they not written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Juda?
Ary ny tantaran’ i Josafata sisa sy ny heriny mbamin’ ny niadiany, tsy efa voasoratra ao amin’ ny bokin’ ny tantaran’ ny mpanjakan’ ny Joda va izany?
46 And the remnant also of the effeminate, who remained in the days of Asa his father, he took out of the land.
Ary ny sisa amin’ ny olona izay nanolo-tena hijangajanga ho fanompoan-tsampy, dia Izay mbola tany tamin’ ny andron’ i Asa rainy, dia nofongorany hiala amin’ ny tany.
47 And there was then no king appointed in Edom.
Ary tsy nisy mpanjaka tany Edoma fahizay, fa olona voatendry no nitondra ny fanjakana.
48 But king Josaphat made navies on the sea, to sail into Ophir for gold: but they could not go, for the ships were broken in Asiongaber.
Ary Josafata nanao sambon’ i Tarsisy folo hankany Ofira haka volamena; nefa tsy lasa ireo sambo ireo, fa nahavakiana tao Ezion-gebera.
49 Then Ochozias the ton of Achab said to Josaphat: Let my servants go with thy servants in the ships. And Josaphat would not.
Dia hoy Ahazia, zanak’ i Ahaba, tamin’ i Josafata: Aoka ny vahoakako hiaraka amin’ ny vahoakanao any an-tsambo. Fa tsy nety Josafata.
50 And Josaphat slept with his fathers. and was buried with them in the city of David his father: and Joram his son reigned in his stead.
Ary Josafata lasa nodi-mandry any amin’ ny razany, dia nalevina tao amin’ ny razany tao an-Tanànan’ i Davida rainy izy; ary Jehorama zanany no nanjaka nandimby azy.
51 And Ochozias the son of Achab began to reign over Israel in Samaria, in the seventeenth gear of Josaphat king of Juda, and he reigned over Israel two years,
Ahazia, zanak’ i Ahaba, vao nanjaka tamin’ ny Isiraely tao Samaria tamin’ ny taona fahafito ambin’ ny folo nanjakan’ i Josafata, mpanjakan’ ny Joda; ary nanjaka roa taona tamin’ ny Isiraely izy.
52 And he did evil in the sight of the Lord, and walked in the way of his father and his mother, and in the way of Jeroboam the son of Nabat, who made Israel to sin.
Ary nanao izay ratsy eo imason’ i Jehovah izy, fa nandeha tamin’ ny lalan’ ny rainy sy ny reniny ary tamin’ ny lalan’ i Jeroboama, zanak’ i Nebata, izay nampanota ny Isiraely;
53 He served also Baal, and worshipped him, and provoked the Lord the God of Israel, according to all that his father had done.
ary nanompo an’ i Bala izy, dia niankohoka teo anatrehany ka nampahatezitra an’ i Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely, tahaka izay rehetra nataon-drainy.
