< 1 Kings 22 >

1 And there passed three years without war between Syria and Israel.
Na e toru o ratou tau e noho ana, a kahore he whawhai a Hiria ki a Iharaira.
2 And in the third year, Josaphat king of Juda came down to the king of Israel.
Na i te toru o nga tau ka haere iho a Iehohapata kingi o Hura ki raro, ki te kingi o Iharaira.
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?)
Na ka mea te kingi o Iharaira ki ana tangata, E mohio ana ranei koutou no tatou Ramoto Kireara, a e ata noho nei tatou, kahore e tangohia e tatou i te ringa o te kingi o Hiria?
4 And he said to Josaphat: Wilt thou come with me to battle to Ramoth Galaad?
Na ka mea ia ki a Iehohapata, ka haere ranei koe, taua ki Ramoto Kireara ki te whawhai? Ano ra ko Iehohapata ki te kingi o Iharaira, Ko ahau, ko koe, taua taua; ko toku iwi, ko tou iwi, ratou ratou; ko oku hoiho, ko ou hoiho, rite tonu.
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.
I mea ano a Iehohapata ki te kingi o Iharaira, Tena, rapua aianei tetahi kupu i a Ihowa.
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.
Katahi ka huihuia nga poropiti e te kingi o Iharaira, e wha rau aua tangata. Na ka mea ia ki a ratou, Me haere ranei ahau ki Ramoto Kireara ki te whawhai, kauaka ranei? Ano ra ko ratou; Haere; ma te Ariki hoki e homai ki te ringa o te kingi.
7 And Josaphat said: Is there not here some prophet of the Lord, that we may inquire by him?
Na ka mea a Iehohapata, Kahore ranei tetahi atu i konei, tetahi poropiti a Ihowa, hei rapunga atu ma tatou?
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.
Ano ra ko te kingi o Iharaira ki a Iehohapata, Tenei ano tetahi, ko Mikaia tama a Imira hei rapunga atu ma tatou i ta Ihowa: otiia e kino ana ahau ki a ia; kahore hoki ana poropiti pai moku; engari he kino. Na ka mea a Iehohapata, Kaua e pena te kupu a te kingi.
9 Then the king of Israel called an eunuch, and said to him: Make haste, and bring hither Micheas the son of Jemla.
Katahi te kingi o Iharaira ka karanga ki tetahi rangatira, ka mea, Kia hohoro te tiki atu i a Mikaia tama a Imira.
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.
Na ka noho te kingi o Iharaira raua ko Iehohapata kingi o Hura, tena i runga i tona torona, tena i runga i tona torona, rakai rawa ki o raua kakahu, i te wahi takoto kau i te tomokanga ki te kuwaha o Hamaria; me te poropiti ano nga poropiti kato a i to raua aroaro.
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.
Na ka meatia e Terekia tama a Kenaana etahi haona rino mana, a ka mea ia, Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa, Ka pana nga Hiriani e koe ki enei a poto noa.
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.
A pera tonu te poropiti a nga poropiti katoa, i mea ratou, Haere ki Ramoto Kireara, kia taea hoki tau; kua homai hoki e Ihowa ki te ringa o te kingi.
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.
A i korero te karere i haere ki te karanga i a Mikaia, i mea ki a ia, Nana, ko nga kupu a nga poropiti ki te kingi kotahi tonu te mangai mo te pai: na kia rite tau kupu ki ta tetahi o ratou, kia pai au korero.
14 But Micheas said to him: As the Lord liveth, whatsoever the Lord shall say to me, that will I speak.
Na ka mea a Mikaia, E ora ana a Ihowa, ina, ko ta Ihowa e korero mai ai ki ahau, ko taku tena e korero ai.
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.
A, no tona taenga ki te kingi, ka mea te kingi ki a ia, E Mikaia, me haere ranei matou ki Ramoto Kireara ki te whawhai, kaua ranei? Ano ra ko tera ki a ia, Haere, kia taea hoki tau; kua hoatu hoki e Ihowa ki te ringa o te kingi.
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.
Na ka mea te kingi ki a ia, Kia hia ianei aku whakaoati i a koe kia kati au e korero mai ai ki ahau, ko te mea pono anake, i runga i te ingoa o Ihowa?
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.
Na ka ki tera, I kite ahau i a Iharaira katoa e marara noa ana i runga i nga maunga, koia ano kei nga hipi kahore nei o ratou kaitiaki, a i mea a Ihowa, Kahore o enei ariki; kia hoki marie tera, tera, ki o ratou whare.
18 (Then the king of Israel said to Josaphat: Did I not tell thee, that he prophesieth no good to me, but always evil?)
Na ka mea te kingi o Iharaira ki a Iehohapata, Kahore ianei ahau i ki atu ki a koe, e kore e pai tana poropiti moku; engari he kino?
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:
Na ka ki tera, Mo reira whakarongo mai ki te kupu a Ihowa; i kite ahau i a Ihowa e noho ana i runga i tona torona, i te mano katoa ano o te rangi e tu ana i tona taha ki matau, i tona taha ki maui.
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.
Na ka mea a Ihowa, Ko wai hei whakapati i a Ahapa kia haere ai, kia hinga ai ki Ramoto Kireara? Na puta ke ta tenei kupu, puta ke ta tenei kupu.
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?
Na ka puta tetahi wairua, ka tu ki te aroaro o Ihowa, ka mea, Maku ia e whakapati.
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.
A ka mea a Ihowa ki a ia, Me pehea? ano ra ko tera, Me haere ahau, a hei wairua teka ahau i roto i nga mangai o ana poropiti katoa. Na ka mea ia, Mau ia e whakapati, ka taea ano e koe: haere, meatia tau na.
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.
Na kua hoatu inaianei e Ihowa he wairua teka ki te mangai o enei poropiti katoa au, a kua kino ta Ihowa korero mou.
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?
Na ka whakatata a Terekia tama a Kenaana, ka papaki i te paparinga o Mikaia, ka mea, I na hea te haerenga atu o te wairua o Ihowa i ahau ki a koe korero ai?
25 And Micheas said: Thou shalt see in the day when thou shalt go into a chamber within a chamber to hide thyself.
Ano ra ko Mikaia, Tera koe e kite i te ra e haere ai koe ki tetahi ruma i roto rawa piri ai.
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.
Na ka mea te kingi o Iharaira, Kawea atu a Mikaia, whakahokia ki a Amono rangatira o te pa, ki a Ioaha tama a te kingi;
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.
Ki atu hoki, Ko te kupu tenei a te kingi, Hoatu tenei ki te whare herehere, whangaia ki te taro o te tangihanga, ki te wai o te tangihanga, kia hoki mai ra ano ahau i runga i te rangimarie.
28 And Micheas said: If thou return in peace, the Lord hath not spoken by me. And he said: Hear, all ye people.
Ano ra ko Mikaia, Ki te hoki mai koe i runga i te rangimarie, ehara ahau i te kaiwhakapuaki i a Ihowa korero. I mea ano ia, Whakarongo, e nga iwi, e koutou katoa!
29 So the king of Israel, and Josaphat king of Juda went up to Ramoth Galaad.
Heoi haere ana te kingi o Iharaira raua ko Iehohapata kingi o Hura ki runga, ki Ramoto Kireara.
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.
Na ka mea te kingi o Iharaira ki a Iehohapata, Me whakaputa ke toku ahua, ka haere ki te whawhai: ko koe ia kakahuria ou kakahu. Na whakaputa ke ana te kingi o Iharaira i tona ahua, a haere ana ki te whawhai.
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.
Na kua oti i te kingi o Hiria te whakahau ana rangatira e toru tekau ma rua, nga kaiwhakahaere o ana hariata, kua mea, Kaua e whawhai ki te iti, ki te rahi; engari ki te kingi anake o Iharaira.
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.
A, no te kitenga o nga rangatira o nga hariata i a Iehohapata, ka mea ratou, Koia ano tenei te kingi o Iharaira. Na peka ana ratou ki a ia ki te whawhai ki a ia. Na ko te hamamatanga o Iehohapata.
33 And the captains of the chariots perceived that he was not the king of and they turned away from him.
A, i te kitenga o nga rangatira o nga hariata ehara ia i te kingi o Iharaira, hoki ana ratou i te whai i a ia.
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.
Na ka kumea te kopere e tetahi tangata, he mea noa iho, tu tonu te kingi o Iharaira i waenga pu o te hononga iho o te pukupuku. Na ka mea ia ki te kaiarataki o tana hariata, Tahuri tou ringa; kawea atu ahau i roto i te ope; kua tu hoki ahau, he tu kino.
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.
Na ka rahi haere te whawhai i taua ra: a he mea pupuri ake te kingi i runga i te hariata kia tu tonu atu ai ia ki nga Hiriani; a i te ahiahi ka mate: na rere ana nga toto o te tunga ki te riu o te hariata.
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.
Na ka pa te karanga puta noa i te ope i te mea ka to te ra; ko te kupu tenei, Ki tona pa, ki tona whenua, e tera tangata, e tera tangata!
37 And the king died, and was carried into Samaria: and they buried the king in Samaria.
Heoi ka mate te kingi, a ka kawea ki Hamaria, tanumia iho e ratou te kingi ki Hamaria.
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.
A i horoia te hariata ki te poka wai i Hamaria; a mitikia ana ona toto e nga kuri: na he wahi horoinga tera no nga wahine kairau; ko ta Ihowa ia korero ai.
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?
Na, ko era atu mahi a Ahapa me nga mea katoa i mea ai ia, me te whare rei i hanga e ia, me nga pa katoa i hanga e ia, kahore ianei i tuhituhia ki te pukapuka o nga meatanga o nga ra o nga kingi o Iharaira?
40 So Achab slept with his fathers, and Ochozias his son reigned in his stead.
Na moe ana a Ahapa ki ona matua, a ko tana tama, ko Ahatia, te kingi i muri i a ia.
41 But Josaphat the son of Asa began to reign over Juda in the fourth year of Achab king of Israel.
No te wha o nga tau o Ahapa kingi o Iharaira i kingi ai a Iehohapata tama a Aha ki a Hura.
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.
E toru tekau ma rima nga tau o Iehohapata i tona kingitanga, a e rua tekau ma rima nga tau i kingi ai ia ki Hiruharama: ko te ingoa hoki o tona whaea, ko Atupa, he tamahine na Hirihi.
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.
A i haere ia i nga ara katoa o tona papa, o Aha; kihai i peka ke; i mahi ia i te mea e tika ana ki ta Ihowa titiro; otiia kihai nga wahi tiketike i whakakahoretia; i patu whakahere ano te iwi, i tahu whakakakara ki nga wahi tiketike.
44 And Josaphat had peace with the king of Israel.
A i houhia te rongo e Iehohapata ki te kingi o Iharaira.
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?
Na, ko era atu meatanga a Iehohapata me ana mahi toa, me ana whawhaitanga, kahore ianei i tuhituhia ki te pukapuka o nga meatanga o nga ra o nga kingi o Hura?
46 And the remnant also of the effeminate, who remained in the days of Asa his father, he took out of the land.
I whakamotitia atu ano e ia i te whenua era atu o te hunga whakahoroma i mahue nei i nga ra o tona papa, o Aha.
47 And there was then no king appointed in Edom.
Na i taua wa kahore o Eroma kingi: he kawana te kingi.
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.
A i hanga etahi kaipuke o Tarahihi e Iehohapata hei tiki koura ki Opira. Otiia kihai i rere; i pakaru hoki nga kaipuke ki Ehiono Kepere.
49 Then Ochozias the ton of Achab said to Josaphat: Let my servants go with thy servants in the ships. And Josaphat would not.
Katahi a Ahatia tama a Ahapa ka mea ki a Iehohapata, Kia eke tahi aku tangata me au tangata ki runga ki nga kaipuke. Otiia kihai a Iehohapata i pai.
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.
Na ka moe a Iehohapata ki ona matua, a tanumia ana ki ona matua ki te pa o tona tupuna, o Rawiri; a ko tana tama, ko Iehorama te kingi i muri i a ia.
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,
No te tekau ma whitu o nga tau o Iehohapata kingi o Hura i kingi ai a Ahatia tama a Ahapa ki a Iharaira i Hamaria; a e rua nga tau i kingi ai ia ki a Iharaira.
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.
A i kino tana mahi ki te aroaro o Ihowa, i haere hoki i te ara o tona papa, i te ara o tona whaea, i te ara ano o Ieropoama tama a Nepata, i hara ai a Iharaira:
53 He served also Baal, and worshipped him, and provoked the Lord the God of Israel, according to all that his father had done.
I mahi hoki ki a Paara, i koropiko ki a ia; i whakapataritari i a Ihowa, i te Atua o Iharaira: rite tonu tana ki nga mea katoa i mea ai tona papa.
