2 Chronicles 18
1 And Iehoshaphat had riches and honour in abundance, but he was ioyned in affinitie with Ahab.
Na rĩrĩ, Jehoshafatu aarĩ na indo nyingĩ na agatĩĩka mũno, nake agĩtuma ũthoni na Ahabu.
2 And after certaine yeeres he went downe to Ahab to Samaria: and Ahab slew sheepe and oxen for him in great nomber, and for the people that he had with him, and entised him to goe vp vnto Ramoth Gilead.
Mĩaka mĩnini yathira-rĩ, agĩikũrũka agĩthiĩ gũceerera Ahabu kũu Samaria. Nake Ahabu akĩmũthĩnjĩra ngʼondu nyingĩ na ngʼombe marĩ hamwe na andũ arĩa maarĩ nake, na akĩmũringĩrĩria matharĩkĩre Ramothu-Gileadi.
3 And Ahab King of Israel saide vnto Iehoshaphat King of Iudah, Wilt thou goe with mee to Ramoth Gilead? And hee answered him, I am as thou art, and my people as thy people, and wee will ioyne with thee in the warre.
Ahabu, mũthamaki wa Isiraeli akĩũria Jehoshafatu mũthamaki wa Juda atĩrĩ, “Nĩũgũthiĩ hamwe na niĩ tũgookĩrĩre Ramothu-Gileadi?” Nake Jehoshafatu akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Niĩ tũrĩ o ũndũ ũmwe nawe, o na andũ akwa no ta andũ aku; na nĩtũgaakorwo tũrĩ hamwe nawe kũu mbaara-inĩ”.
4 And Iehoshaphat sayde vnto the King of Israel, Aske counsel, I pray thee, at the worde of the Lord this day.
No Jehoshafatu agĩcooka akĩĩra mũthamaki wa Isiraeli atĩrĩ, “Amba ũtuĩrie na ũmenye ũtaaro wa Jehova.”
5 Therefore the King of Israel gathered of Prophets foure hundreth men, and sayde vnto them, Shall we goe to Ramoth Gilead to battel, or shall I cease? And they sayd, Go vp: for God shall deliuer it into the Kings hand.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio mũthamaki wa Isiraeli akĩũngania anabii 400, akĩmooria atĩrĩ, “Tũthiĩ tũkahũũrane na Ramothu-Gileadi kana ndigathiĩ?” Nao makĩmũcookeria makĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Thiĩ, nĩgũkorwo Ngai nĩekũneana itũũra rĩu moko-inĩ ma mũthamaki.”
6 But Iehoshaphat sayde, Is there heere neuer a Prophet more of the Lord that wee might inquire of him?
Nowe Jehoshafatu akĩũria atĩrĩ, “Kaĩ gũkũ gũtarĩ mũnabii wa Jehova ũrĩa tũngĩũria ũhoro kuuma kũrĩ we?”
7 And the King of Israel sayd vnto Iehoshaphat, There is yet one man, by whome wee may aske counsell of the Lord, but I hate him: for he doeth not prophesie good vnto me, but alway euil: it is Michaiah the sonne of Imla. Then Iehoshaphat said, Let not the King say so.
Mũthamaki wa Isiraeli agĩcookeria Jehoshafatu atĩrĩ, “Nĩ kũrĩ mũndũ ũmwe ũrĩa ũngĩtũtuĩrĩria ũhoro kuuma kũrĩ Jehova, no nĩndĩmũthũire tondũ gũtirĩ hĩndĩ andathagĩra ũndũ mwega, no maũndũ mooru hĩndĩ ciothe. Nake nĩwe Mikaia mũrũ wa Imula.” No Jehoshafatu agĩcookia atĩrĩ, “Mũthamaki ndagĩrĩirwo nĩ kuuga ũguo.”
8 And the King of Israel called an eunuche, and said, Call quickly Michaiah the sonne of Imla.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio mũthamaki wa Isiraeli agĩĩta ũmwe wa anene ake, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Ndehera Mikaia mũrũ wa Imula narua.”
9 And the King of Israel, and Iehoshaphat King of Iudah sate either of them on his throne clothed in their apparel: they sate euen in the threshing floore at the entring in of the gate of Samaria: and all the Prophets prophesied before them.
Hĩndĩ ĩyo mũthamaki wa Isiraeli na Jehoshafatu mũthamaki wa Juda, mehumbĩte nguo ciao cia ũthamaki, magĩikarĩra itĩ ciao cia ũnene hau kĩhuhĩro-inĩ kĩa ngano kĩrĩa kĩarĩ itoonyero-inĩ rĩa Samaria, nao anabii othe maarĩ ho makĩratha mohoro marĩ mbere yao.
10 And Zidkiah ye sonne of Chenaanah made him hornes of yron, and sayde, Thus sayth the Lord, With these shalt thou push the Aramites vntill thou hast consumed them.
Na rĩrĩ, Zedekia mũrũ wa Kenaana nĩathondekete hĩa cia kĩgera, nake akiuga atĩrĩ, “Jehova ekuuga ũũ: ‘Ici nĩcio mũgaatheeca Asuriata nacio nginya mũmaniine.’”
11 And all the Prophets prophesied so, saying, Go vp to Ramoth Gilead, and prosper: for the Lord shall deliuer it into the hand of the King.
Nao anabii acio angĩ othe maarathaga o ũndũ ũmwe, makoiga atĩrĩ: “Tharĩkĩra Ramothu-Gileadi na nĩũgũtooria, tondũ Jehova nĩekũrĩneana moko-inĩ ma mũthamaki.”
12 And the messenger that went to call Michaiah, spake to him, saying, Beholde, the wordes of the Prophets declare good to the King with one accord: let thy word therefore, I pray thee, be like one of theirs, and speake thou good.
Mũndũ ũrĩa watũmĩtwo ageete Mikaia akĩmwĩra ũũ, “Atĩrĩrĩ, anabii arĩa angĩ othe maarĩtie o ta mũndũ ũmwe, mararathĩra mũthamaki ũhootani. Reke kiugo gĩaku gĩtigakararanie na kĩao, na warie ũndũ mwega.”
13 And Michaiah saide, As the Lord liueth, whatsoeuer my God saith, that will I speake.
Nowe Mikaia akiuga atĩrĩ, “Ti-itherũ o ta ũrĩa Jehova atũũraga muoyo, niĩ ngũmwĩra o ũrĩa Ngai wakwa ekunjĩĩra.”
14 So he came to the King, and the King said vnto him, Michaiah, shall we go to Ramoth Gilead to battel, or shall I leaue off? And he said, Goe yee vp, and prosper, and they shalbe deliuered into your hand.
Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa aakinyire-rĩ, mũthamaki akĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Mikaia, tũthiĩ tũkahũũranĩre itũũra rĩa Ramothu-Gileadi, kana tũtigaathiĩ?” Nake Mikaia akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Rĩtharĩkĩre na ũhootane, tondũ nĩrĩkũneanwo moko-inĩ maku.”
15 And the King sayd to him, Howe oft shall I charge thee, that thou tell mee nothing but the trueth in the Name of the Lord?
Mũthamaki akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Nĩ maita maigana ngũtũũra ngwĩhĩtithagia ndũkae kũnjĩĩra ũhoro ũngĩ tiga ũhoro wa ma thĩinĩ wa rĩĩtwa rĩa Jehova?”
16 Then he said, I saw al Israel scattered in the mountaines, as sheepe that haue no shepheard: and the Lord sayd, These haue no Master: let them returne euery man to his house in peace.
Nake Mikaia akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Ndĩronire andũ a Isiraeli othe mahurunjũkĩire irĩma-inĩ ta ngʼondu itarĩ na mũrĩithi, nake Jehova aroiga atĩrĩ, ‘Andũ aya matirĩ na mwathi. O mũndũ nĩarekwo ainũke gwake na thayũ.’”
17 And the King of Israel sayde to Iehoshaphat, Did I not tell thee, that he would not prophesie good vnto me, but euill?
Nake mũthamaki wa Isiraeli akĩĩra Jehoshafatu atĩrĩ, “Githĩ ndikwĩrire atĩ ndarĩ hĩndĩ angĩĩndathĩra ũhoro mwega, tiga o ũrĩa mũũru?”
18 Againe hee saide, Therefore heare ye the worde of the Lord: I sawe the Lord sit vpon his throne, and all the hoste of heauen standing at his right hand, and at his left.
Mikaia agĩthiĩ na mbere, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Nĩ ũndũ ũcio thikĩrĩria kiugo kĩa Jehova: Ndĩronire Jehova aikarĩire gĩtĩ gĩake kĩa ũnene, arĩ na mbũtũ yothe ya igũrũ ĩrũgamĩte ĩmũthiũrũrũkĩirie mwena wa ũrĩo na wa ũmotho.
19 And the Lord sayd, Who shall perswade Ahab King of Israel, that he may go vp, and fall at Ramoth Gilead? And one spake and said thus, and another said that.
Nake Jehova aroria atĩrĩ, ‘Nũũ ũkũheenereria Ahabu mũthamaki wa Isiraeli nĩguo atharĩkĩre Ramothu-Gileadi, nĩgeetha athiĩ agakuĩre kuo?’ “Ũmwe akiuga ũũ, na ũrĩa ũngĩ akiuga ũũ.
20 Then there came forth a spirit and stoode before the Lord, and said, I will perswade him. And the Lord said vnto him, Wherein?
Marigĩrĩrio-inĩ, roho ũmwe ũkiumĩra, ũkĩrũgama mbere ya Jehova, ũkiuga atĩrĩ, ‘Nĩ niĩ ngũmũheenereria.’ “Jehova akĩũria atĩrĩ, ‘Ũkũmũheenereria atĩa?’
21 And he saide, I will goe out, and bee a false spirit in the mouth of all his Prophets. And hee said, Thou shalt perswade, and shalt also preuaile: goe forth and do so.
“Naguo roho ũcio ũkiuga atĩrĩ, ‘Nĩgũthiĩ ngũthiĩ nduĩke roho wa maheeni tũnua-inĩ twa anabii ake othe.’ “Nake Jehova akiuga atĩrĩ, ‘Wee nĩũkũhota kũmũheenereria. Thiĩ ũgeeke ũguo.’
22 Now therefore behold, the Lord hath put a false spirit in the mouth of these thy Prophets, and the Lord hath determined euill against thee.
“Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Jehova nĩekĩrĩte roho wa maheeni tũnua-inĩ twa anabii aya aku. Jehova nĩagwathĩrĩirie mwanangĩko.”
23 Then Zidkiah the sonne of Chenaanah came neere, and smote Michaiah vpon the cheeke, and sayde, By what way went the Spirit of the Lord from me, to speake with thee?
Hĩndĩ ĩyo Zedekia mũrũ wa Kenaana akĩambata na akĩringa Mikaia rũhĩ ũthiũ. Akĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Kaĩ roho wa Jehova agereire kũ rĩrĩa oimire kũrĩ niĩ nĩguo aarie nawe?”
24 And Michaiah saide, Behold, thou shalt see that day when thou shalt goe from chamber to chamber to hide thee.
Mikaia agĩcookia atĩrĩ, “Nĩũkamenya mũthenya ũrĩa ũgaathiĩ kwĩhitha kanyũmba ka na thĩinĩ.”
25 And the King of Israel sayde, Take ye Michaiah, and cary him to Amon the gouernour of the citie, and to Ioash the Kings sonne,
Mũthamaki wa Isiraeli agĩathana, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Oyai Mikaia mũmũcookie kũrĩ Amoni mwathi wa itũũra inene, na kũrĩ Joashu mũrũ wa mũthamaki,
26 And say, Thus saith the King, Put this man in the prison house, and feede him with bread of affliction and with water of affliction vntil I returne in peace.
na mũmwĩre atĩrĩ, ‘Mũthamaki ekuuga ũũ: Mũndũ ũyũ nĩaikio njeera na ndakaheo kĩndũ gĩa kũrĩa tiga mũgate na maaĩ nginya rĩrĩa ngaacooka na thayũ.’”
27 And Michaiah said, If thou returne in peace, the Lord hath not spoken by me. And he saide, Heare, all ye people.
Mikaia akiuga atĩrĩ, “Ũngĩgaacooka na thayũ-rĩ, no gũtuĩkire atĩ Jehova ndaarĩtie na niĩ.” Agĩcooka akiuga atĩrĩ, “Iguai ũhoro wakwa inyuĩ andũ aya inyuothe!”
28 So the King of Israel and Iehoshaphat the King of Iudah went vp to Ramoth Gilead.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio mũthamaki wa Isiraeli na Jehoshafatu mũthamaki wa Juda makĩambata nginya Ramothu-Gileadi.
29 And the King of Israel said vnto Iehoshaphat, I will change my selfe, and enter into the battel: but put thou on thine apparel. So the King of Israel changed himselfe, and they went into the battel.
Nake mũthamaki wa Isiraeli akĩĩra Jehoshafatu atĩrĩ, “Nĩngũtoonya mbaara-inĩ ndĩĩgarũrĩte ndikamenyeke no wee wĩkĩre nguo cia ũthamaki.” Nĩ ũndũ ũcio mũthamaki wa Isiraeli akĩĩgarũra ndakamenyeke na agĩtoonya mbaara-inĩ.
30 And the King of Aram had commanded the captaines of the charets that were with him, saying, Fight you not with small, nor great, but against the King of Israel onely.
Na rĩrĩ, mũthamaki wa Asuriata nĩathĩte anene ake a ngaari cia ita akameera atĩrĩ, “Mũtikarũe na mũndũ o na ũrĩkũ, mũnini kana mũnene, tiga o mũthamaki wa Isiraeli.”
31 And when the captaines of the charets saw Iehoshaphat, they sayde, It is the King of Israel: and they compassed about him to fight. But Iehoshaphat cryed, and the Lord helped him and moued them to depart from him.
Rĩrĩa anene a mbũtũ cia ngaari cia ita moonire Jehoshafatu magĩĩciiria atĩrĩ, “Ũyũ nĩwe mũthamaki wa Isiraeli” Nĩ ũndũ ũcio makĩgarũrũka mamũtharĩkĩre, no Jehoshafatu agĩkaya, nake Jehova akĩmũteithia. Ngai akĩmaroria na kũngĩ, makĩmweherera,
32 For when the captaines of the charets saw that hee was not the King of Israel, they turned backe from him.
nĩgũkorwo rĩrĩa anene a ngaari cia ita moonire atĩ tiwe warĩ mũthamaki wa Isiraeli, magĩtiga gũthingatana nake.
33 Then a certaine man drewe a bowe mightily, and smote the King of Israel betweene the ioyntes of his brigandine: Therefore he saide to his charetman, Turne thine hand, and carie mee out of the host: for I am hurt.
No mũndũ ũmwe akĩgeeta ũta wake, agĩikia mũguĩ o ro ũguo, naguo ũkĩratha mũthamaki wa Isiraeli o gatagatĩ-inĩ ka magathĩkanĩrio ma nguo yake ya mbaara. Nake mũthamaki akĩĩra mũtwarithia wa ngaari ya ita atĩrĩ, “Garũra ngaari ũndute mbaara-inĩ. Nĩndagurario.”
34 And the battel increased that day: and the King of Israel stood still in his charet against the Aramites vntil euen, and dyed at the time of the sunne going downe.
Nayo mbaara ĩkĩneneha mũthenya wothe, na mũthamaki wa Isiraeli agĩĩtiirania ngaari-inĩ yake ya mbaara angʼetheire Asuriata o nginya hwaĩ-inĩ. Narĩo riũa rĩgĩthũa-rĩ, agĩkua.
