2 Kings 3
1 Joram, son of Ahab, became king of Israel in the eighteenth year of the reign of King Jehoshaphat of Judah. He reigned in Samaria for twelve years.
In yac aksingoul oalkosr ke pacl in leum lal Tokosra Jehoshaphat lun Judah, Joram wen natul Ahab, el tokosrala lun Israel, ac el leum in Samaria ke yac singoul luo.
2 He did evil in the Lord's sight, but not like his father and mother had done, for he got rid of the stone image of Baal that his father had made.
El oru ma koluk lain LEUM GOD, tuh tia oana lupan koluk lun papa tumal ku Jezebel, nina kial. El kunausla ma sruloala ma papa tumal ah orala mwe alu nu sel Baal.
3 However, he still held on to the sins that Jeroboam, son of Nebat, had made Israel commit—he did not give them up.
Tusruktu el oapana Tokosra Jeroboam wen natul Nebat, su tokosra meet lukel — el tiana tui in kolla mwet Israel in oru ma koluk.
4 Mesha, king of Moab, was a sheep breeder. He used to provide a tribute to the king of Israel of one hundred thousand lambs and the wool of one hundred thousand rams.
Tokosra Mesha lun Moab el tohf sheep, ac ke yac nukewa el ac supu siofok tausin sheep fusr ac oayapa unen sheep matu tausin siofok nu sin tokosra lun Israel tuh in mwe takma lal nu sel.
5 But after Ahab died, the king of Moab rebelled against the king of Israel.
Tusruktu ke Tokosra Ahab lun Israel el misa, Tokosra Mesha el tuyak lain acn Israel.
6 Immediately King Joram called up the whole Israelite army and left Samaria.
In pacl sacna, Tokosra Joram el som liki acn Samaria, ac orani un mwet mweun nukewa lal.
7 On his way he sent a message to Jehoshaphat, king of Judah, saying, “The king of Moab has rebelled against me. Will you join me in an attack on Moab?” Jehoshaphat replied, “Yes, I will join you. You and I are as one, my men and your men are as one, and my horses and your horses are as one.”
El supwala kas nu sel Tokosra Jehoshaphat lun Judah ac fahk, “Tokosra lun acn Moab el tuyak lainyu. Kom ku in tuku wiyu mweun lainul?” Tokosra Jehoshaphat el topuk, “Aok, nga ac wi kom! Nga filiyuwot nu sum, oayapa mwet luk ac horse nutik.
8 Then he asked, “Which way shall we go?” “We'll take the road through the desert of Edom,” he replied.
Kut ac ut ya nu ke mweun uh?” Joram el topuk, “Kut ac ut ke inkanek loeloes, fahla sasla acn turangang uten acn Edom.”
9 So the king of Israel, the king of Judah, and the king of Edom set off. Having followed an indirect route for seven days, they ran out of water for their army and for their animals.
Ouinge Tokosra Joram ac tokosra lun Judah ac Edom elos mukuiyak. Tukun elos fahsr len itkosr, lisr kof ah, na wangin ma nimen mwet uh oayapa kosro in utuk natulos.
10 “What are we doing?” complained the king of Israel. “The Lord has brought us three kings here to hand us over to the Moabites!”
Tokosra Joram el fahk, “Kut ac lalna! LEUM GOD El asang tokosra tolu inge nu inpoun tokosra lun Moab!”
11 But Jehoshaphat asked, “Isn't there a prophet of the Lord here with us? Let us consult the Lord through him.” One of the king of Israel's officers answered, “Elisha, son of Shaphat, is here. He was Elijah's assistant.”
Tokosra Jehoshaphat el siyuk, “Ku oasr sie mwet palu inge ma ac ku in tafwekut ac lolngok nu sin LEUM GOD?” Sie sin mwet leum lun mwet mweun lal Tokosra Joram el topuk, “Elisha wen natul Shaphat el oasr inge. El tuh mwet kasru lal Elijah.”
12 Jehoshaphat agreed, “The Lord communicates by him.” So the king of Israel, Jehoshaphat, and the king of Edom went to see him.
Tokosra Jehoshaphat el fahk, “El mwet palu na pwaye se.” Ouinge tokosra tolu ah som nu yorol Elisha.
13 Elisha said to the king of Israel, “What have I got to do with you? Go to your own prophets, those of your father and your mother.” But the king of Israel said to him, “No—because it's the Lord who has brought these three kings here to hand them over to the Moabites!”
Elisha el fahk nu sel tokosra lun Israel, “Efu ku ngan kasrekom? Fahla lolngok sin mwet palu ma papa tomom ac nina kiom ah muta lolngok nu se ah.” Joram el topuk, “Mo. LEUM GOD pa eiskutyang, tokosra tolu inge, nu inpoun tokosra lun acn Moab uh.”
14 Elisha replied, “As the Lord Almighty lives, the one I serve, if I didn't respect the fact that Jehoshaphat, king of Judah, is here, I wouldn't even look in your direction or acknowledge you.
Elisha el topuk, “Inen LEUM GOD moul su nga kulansupu, nga fulahk lah nga lukun tiana kasrekom nga funu tia akfulatyal Tokosra Jehoshaphat lun Judah, su wi kom ingan.
15 Now bring me a musician.” While the musician played, the Lord's power came upon Elisha,
Inge, sap sie mwet orek on an in tuku nu yuruk.” Ke mwet sac srital ke harp natul ah, na ku lun LEUM GOD tuku nu facl Elisha.
16 and he announced, “This is what the Lord says: This valley will be filled with pools of water. For the Lord says:
Na Elisha el fahk, “Pa inge ma LEUM GOD El fahk, ‘Pukanak laf pukanten yen nukewa ke infacl soko ma paola inge.
17 You won't see any wind, you won't see any rain, but even so this valley will be filled with water. You will drink, and your cattle, and your animals.
Kowos finne tia liye af ku eng, a infacl soko inge ac sessesla ke kof, na kowos, ac kosro nutuwos nukewa, ac fah mut ke kof.’”
18 The Lord views this as something trivial to do; and he will also make you victorious over the Moabites.
Ac Elisha el sifilpa fahk, “Tuh ma inge ma na fisrasr sin LEUM GOD in oru. El ac fah oayapa sot tuh kowos in kutangla mwet Moab.
19 You will conquer every fortified town, and every important town. You will chop down every good tree, block up every spring, and spoil every good field by throwing stones on them.”
Kowos fah kutangla fin siti oasku nukewa lalos ma potiyukla. Ac kowos fah pakiya sak nukewa sunalos ma oasr fahko, ac fonosya unon in kof nukewa lalos, ac kunausla acn in ima nukewa lalos ma infohk uh wo nu ke yok uh, ke kowos nwakla ke eot.”
20 The next day, around the time of the morning sacrifice, water suddenly flowed from the direction of Edom, filling the whole countryside with water.
Lotu se tok ah, ke pacl in kisa in lotutang, kof uh sororma layen nu Edom me, ac afunla infohk uh.
21 All the Moabites had heard that the kings had come to attack them. So everyone who could wear a sword, young and old, was called up and went to guard the border.
Ke mwet Moab elos lohngak lah tokosra tolu ah tuku in mweunelos, mukul nukewa ma ku in utuk mwe mweun, sin mwet matu emeet nwe ke mwet fusr emeet, elos pangonyukeni in som tu ke masrol uh.
22 But the next morning when they got up the sun was shining on the water, and to the Moabites on the other side it looked blood red.
Ke elos tukakek ke lotu se tok ah faht ah sreya fin kof ah, oru kof uh srusrala oana srah.
23 “This is blood!” they said. “The kings and their armies must have attacked and killed each other! Moabites, let's grab the plunder!”
Elos lut ac fahk, “Srah pa ngi! Kalem lah mwet mweun lun u tolu ah forani aacnwuki nwe sifacna onelosi. Kut som tella ma lalos liki nien aktuktuk lalos uh!”
24 But when the Moabites arrived at the Israelite camp, the Israelites ran out and attacked them, and they ran away from them. So the Israelites invaded their country and killed the Moabites.
Tusruktu ke elos sun nien aktuktuk lun mwet Israel ah, mwet Israel elos sroang mweunelos ac folokunulosla. Mwet Israel elos ukwe na mwet Moab nwe onelosla,
25 They destroyed the towns, and each soldier threw stones on every good field until it was covered. They blocked up every spring and chopped down every good tree. Only Kir-haraseth still had its walls, but soldiers using slingshots surrounded it and attacked it as well.
ac kunausla siti selos. Ke mwet Israel inge ac fahsr ke acn in ima wowo uh, kais sie selos ac srukak eot se ac sisang nu ke ima sac, nwe ke na eot ah afunla ima nukewa. Elos oayapa fonosya unon in kof uh, ac pakiya sak oasr fahko kac. Fahsr nwe siti sefanna lula, siti fulat selos su pangpang Kir Heres, na mwet utuk fuht elos kuhlasla ac mweuni.
26 When the king of Moab realized he'd lost the battle, he led seven hundred swordsmen in an attempt to break through and attack the king of Edom, but they weren't able to do so.
Ke pacl se tokosra lun acn Moab ah akilenak lah ac kutangyukla el, na el us mwet itfoko su mwet mweun ke cutlass in welul, ac el srike na elan sasla inmasrlon mwet lokoalok inge ac kaingla nu yurin tokosra lun Syria, tuh el tiana orala.
27 So the king of Moab took his firstborn son, who was meant to succeed him, and sacrificed him as a burnt offering on the town wall. Great anger came upon the Israelites, so they left and went back to their own country.
Ouinge el eis mukul matu se natul su ac aolul in tokosra, ac kisakunulla fin pot lun siti sac nu sin god lun acn Moab. Mwet Israel elos arulana rarla kac, na elos foloki liki siti sac ac folokla nu facl selos.
