1 Kings 22
1 For three years Aram and Israel were not at war.
Na e toru o ratou tau e noho ana, a kahore he whawhai a Hiria ki a Iharaira.
2 But in the third year Jehoshaphat, king of Judah, went to visit 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 The king of Israel had said to his officers, “Aren't you aware that Ramoth-gilead really belongs to us and yet we haven't done anything to take it back from the king of Aram?”
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 So he asked Jehoshaphat, “Will you join me in an attack to recapture Ramoth-gilead?” Jehoshaphat replied to the king of Israel, “You and I are as one, my men and your men are as one, and my horses and your horses are as one.”
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 Then Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel, “But first though, please find out what the Lord says.”
I mea ano a Iehohapata ki te kingi o Iharaira, Tena, rapua aianei tetahi kupu i a Ihowa.
6 So the king of Israel brought out the prophets—four hundred of them—and he asked them, “Should I go up and attack Ramoth-gilead, or should I not?” “Yes, go ahead,” they replied, “for the Lord will hand it over to 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 But Jehoshaphat asked, “Isn't there another prophet of the Lord here that we can ask?”
Na ka mea a Iehohapata, Kahore ranei tetahi atu i konei, tetahi poropiti a Ihowa, hei rapunga atu ma tatou?
8 “Yes, there's another man who could consult the Lord,” the king of Israel replied, “but I don't like him because he never prophesies anything good for me—it's always bad! His name is Micaiah, son of Imlah.” “You shouldn't talk like that,” said Jehoshaphat.
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 The king of Israel called over one of his officials and told him, “Bring me Micaiah, son of Imlah, right away.”
Katahi te kingi o Iharaira ka karanga ki tetahi rangatira, ka mea, Kia hohoro te tiki atu i a Mikaia tama a Imira.
10 Dressed in their royal robes, the king of Israel and King Jehoshaphat of Judah, were sitting on their thrones at the threshing floor beside the gate of Samaria, with all of the prophets prophesying in front of 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 One of them, Zedekiah, son of Chenaanah, had made himself iron horns. He announced, “This is what the Lord says: ‘With these horns you will gore the Arameans until they're dead!”
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 All the prophets were prophesying the same thing, saying, “Go ahead, attack Ramoth-gilead; you will be successful, for the Lord will hand it over to the king.”
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 The messenger who went to call Micaiah told him, “Look, all the prophets are unanimous in prophesying positively to the king. So please make sure to speak positively like them.”
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 Micaiah replied, “As the Lord lives, I can only say what my God tells me.”
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 When he came before the king, the king asked him, “Should we go up and attack Ramoth-gilead, or should we not?” “Yes, go ahead and be victorious,” Micaiah replied, “for the Lord will give it into the king's hand.”
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, “How many times must I make you swear to tell me only the truth 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 So Micaiah answered, “I saw all Israel scattered on the mountains like sheep without a shepherd. The Lord said, ‘These people have no master; let each of them go home 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 The king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, “Didn't I tell you he never prophesies anything good for me, only bad?”
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 Micaiah went on to say, “So listen to what the Lord says. I saw the Lord sitting on his throne, surrounded by the whole army of heaven standing to his right and to his 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 The Lord asked, ‘Who will trick Ahab, king of Israel, into attacking Ramoth-gilead so he will be killed there?’ One said this, another said that, and another said something else.
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 Finally a spirit came and approached the Lord and said, ‘I will trick him.’
Na ka puta tetahi wairua, ka tu ki te aroaro o Ihowa, ka mea, Maku ia e whakapati.
22 ‘How are you going to do that?’ the Lord asked. ‘I will go and be a lying spirit and make all his prophets tell lies,’ the spirit replied. ‘That will work,’ the Lord responded. ‘Go and do it.’
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 As you see, the Lord has put a lying spirit into these prophets of yours, and the Lord has pronounced your death sentence.”
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 Then Zedekiah, son of Chenaanah, went and slapped Micaiah in the face, and demanded, “Which way did the Spirit of the Lord go when he left me to speak to you?”
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 “You'll soon find out when you try and find some secret place to hide!” Micaiah replied.
Ano ra ko Mikaia, Tera koe e kite i te ra e haere ai koe ki tetahi ruma i roto rawa piri ai.
26 The king of Israel ordered, “Place Micaiah under arrest and take him back to Amon the governor of the city and to my son Joash.
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 Tell them these are the king's instructions: ‘Put this man in jail. Give him only bread and water until my safe return.’”
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 “If you do in fact return safely then the Lord has not spoken through me,” Micaiah declared. “Pay attention everyone to all I've said!”
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 The king of Israel and Jehoshaphat, king of Judah, went to attack Ramoth-gilead.
Heoi haere ana te kingi o Iharaira raua ko Iehohapata kingi o Hura ki runga, ki Ramoto Kireara.
30 The king of Israel told Jehoshaphat, “When I go into battle I will be in disguise, but you should wear your royal robes.” So the king of Israel disguised himself and went into 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 The king of Aram had already given these orders to his chariot commanders: “Head straight for the king of Israel alone. Don't fight with anyone else, whoever they are.”
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 chariot commanders saw Jehoshaphat, they shouted, “This must be the king of Israel!” So they turned to attack him, but when Jehoshaphat called out for help,
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 the chariot commanders saw it wasn't the king of Israel and stopped chasing 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 However, an enemy archer shot an arrow at random, hitting the king of Israel between the joints of his armor by his breastplate. The king told his charioteer, “Turn around and get me out of the fight, because I've been 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 The battle lasted all day. The king of Israel was propped up in his chariot to face the Arameans, but in the evening he died. The blood had poured out of his wound onto the floor 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 At sunset, a shout went out from the lines: “Retreat! Every man back to his town, every man back 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 So the king died. He was taken back to Samaria where they buried him.
Heoi ka mate te kingi, a ka kawea ki Hamaria, tanumia iho e ratou te kingi ki Hamaria.
38 They washed his chariot at a pool in Samaria where the prostitutes came to bathe, and dogs licked up his blood, just as the Lord had said.
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 The rest of what happened in Ahab's reign, all that he did, the ivory palace he constructed and all the cities he built are recorded in the Book of Chronicles 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 Ahab died and his son Ahaziah succeeded him as king.
Na moe ana a Ahapa ki ona matua, a ko tana tama, ko Ahatia, te kingi i muri i a ia.
41 Jehoshaphat, son of Asa, became king of Judah in the fourth year of the reign of Ahab, 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 Jehoshaphat was thirty-five when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem for twenty-five years. His mother's name was Azubah, daughter of Shilhi.
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 He followed all the ways of his father; he did not depart from them, and he did what was right in the Lord's sight. However, the high places were not removed and the people still sacrificed and presented offerings there.
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 Jehoshaphat also made peace with the king of Israel.
A i houhia te rongo e Iehohapata ki te kingi o Iharaira.
45 The rest of what happened in Jehoshaphat's reign, his great achievements and the wars he fought are recorded in the Book of Chronicles of the Kings of Judah.
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 He expelled from the land any cult prostitutes who were left from the time of his father Asa.
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 (At that time there was no king in Edom; only a deputy who served as king.)
Na i taua wa kahore o Eroma kingi: he kawana te kingi.
48 Jehoshaphat built sea-going ships to go to Ophir for gold, but they went because they were wrecked at Ezion-geber.
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 During that time Ahaziah, son of Ahab, asked Jehoshaphat, “Let my men sail with your men,” but Jehoshaphat refused.
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 Jehoshaphat died and was buried with his forefathers in the City of David. His son Jehoram succeeded him as king.
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 Ahaziah, son of Ahab, became king of Israel in Samaria in the seventeenth year of Jehoshaphat, king of Judah, and he reigned over Israel for 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 He did what was evil in the Lord's sight and followed the ways of his father and mother, and of Jeroboam, son of Nebat, who had made Israel 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 Baal and worshiped him, and angered the Lord, the God of Israel, just as his father had.
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.
