2 Chronicles 18
1 Now Jehoshaphat had riches and honour in abundance; and he allied himself with Ahab by marriage.
Ary Josafata nanana harena sy voninahitra be; ary ny zananilahy dia nampanambadiny ny zanakavavin’ i Ahaba.
2 And after a lapse of years he went down to Ahab to Samaria. And Ahab killed sheep and oxen for him in abundance, and for the people that were with him, and persuaded him to go up with him to Ramoth-gilead.
Koa nony ela dia nidina nankany amin’ i Ahaba tany Samaria izy. Ary Ahaba namono ondry aman’ osy sy omby betsaka ho azy sy ho an’ ny olona nanaraka azy, dia nitaona azy hiakatra ho any Ramota-gileada.
3 And Ahab king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat king of Judah: 'Wilt thou go with me to Ramoth-gilead?' And he answered him: 'I am as thou art, and my people as thy people; and we will be with thee in the war.'
Ary hoy Ahaba, mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely, tamin’ i Josafata, mpanjakan’ ny Joda: Mba hiaraka amiko ho any Ramota-gileada va ianao? Dia hoy izy taminy: Eny fa tahaka ny tenanao ihany aho, ka ny oloko dia olonao; koa hiaraka aminao ho any an-tafika izahay.
4 And Jehoshaphat said unto the king of Israel: 'Inquire, I pray thee, at the word of the LORD today.'
Ary hoy Josafata tamin’ ny mpanjakan’ ny Isirady; Masìna ianao, anontanio aloha ny tenin’ i Jehovah.
5 Then the king of Israel gathered the prophets together, four hundred men, and said unto them: 'Shall we go to Ramoth-gilead to battle, or shall I forbear?' And they said: 'Go up; for God will deliver it into the hand of the king.'
Ary ny mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely dia nanangona ny mpaminany efajato lahy ka nanao taminy hoe: Handeha hanafika an’ i Ramota-gileada va isika, sa hijanona ihany aho? Dia hoy ireo: Mandehana, fa hatolotr’ Andriamanitra eo an-tananao izy, ry mpanjaka.
6 But Jehoshaphat said: 'Is there not here besides a prophet of the LORD, that we might inquire of him?'
Ary hoy kosa Josafata: Moa tsy misy mpaminanin’ i Jehovah koa va eto mba hanontaniantsika?
7 And the king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat: 'There is yet one man by whom we may inquire of the LORD; but I hate him; for he never prophesieth good concerning me, but always evil; the same is Micaiah the son of Imla.' And Jehoshaphat said: 'Let not the king say so.'
Dia hoy ny mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely tamin’ i Josafata: Mbola misy lehilahy iray ihany ahazoantsika manontany amin’ i Jehovah, saingy halako izy, satria tsy mbola naminany soa ho ahy izy, fa loza ihany mandrakariva; Mitaia, zanak’ i Jimla, no anarany. Dia hoy Josafata: Aza dia manao izany, ry mpanjaka.
8 Then the king of Israel called an officer, and said: 'Fetch quickly Micaiah the son of Imla.'
Ary ny mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely niantso ny tandapa anankiray ka nanao taminy hoe: Alao faingana Mikaia, zanak’ i Jimla.
9 Now the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah sat each on his throne, arrayed in their robes, and they sat in a threshing-floor at the entrance of the gate of Samaria; and all the prophets were prophesying 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 anatrehany.
10 And Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah made him horns of iron, and said: 'Thus saith the LORD: With these shalt thou gore the Arameans, until they be consumed.'
Ary Zedekia, zanak’ i Kenana, dia nanao tandroby ka nanao hoe: Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah: Ireto no hanotoanao ny Syriana mandra-paharingany.
11 And all the prophets prophesied so, saying: 'Go up to Ramoth-gilead, and prosper; for the LORD will deliver it into the hand of the king.'
Ary ny mpaminany rehetra naminany toy izao koa hoe: Mandehana ho any Ramota-gileada, dia hambinina ianao; fa hotolotr’ i Jehovah eo an-tananao izy, ry mpanjaka.
12 And the messenger that went to call Micaiah spoke to him, saying: 'Behold, the words of the prophets declare good to the king with one mouth; let thy word therefore, I pray thee, be like one of theirs, and speak thou good.'
Ary ilay iraka izay nandeha naka an’ i Mikaia niteny taminy hoe: Indro, fa efa iray teny avokoa izao ny mpaminany, ka samy 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.
13 And Micaiah said: 'As the LORD liveth, what my God saith, that will I speak.'
Dia hoy Mikaia: Raha velona koa Jehovah, izay lazain’ Andriamanitro ihany no hambarako.
14 And when he was come to the king, the king said unto him: 'Micaiah, shall we go to Ramoth-gilead to battle, or shall I forbear?' And he said: 'Go ye up, and prosper; and they shall be delivered into your hand.'
Dia nankany amin’ ny mpanjaka izy. Ary hoy ny mpanjaka taminy: Ry Mikaia, handeha hanafika an’ i Ramota-gileada va isika, sa hijanona ihany aho? Ary izy namaly azy hoe: Mandehana, dia hambinina ianareo, fa hatolotra eo an-tananareo izy.
15 And the king said to him: 'How many times shall I adjure thee that thou speak unto me nothing but the truth 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?
16 And he said: 'I saw all Israel scattered upon the mountains, as sheep that have no shepherd; and the LORD said: These have no master, let them return every man 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, ka aoka izy samy hody soa aman-tsara any an-tranony avy.
17 And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat: 'Did I not tell thee that he would not prophesy good concerning me, but evil?'
Dia hoy ny mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely tamin’ ny Josafata: Tsy efa voalazako taminao va fa tsy mba mety maminany soa ho ahy izy, fa loza ihany?
18 And he said: 'Therefore hear ye the word of the LORD: I saw the LORD sitting upon His throne, and all the host of heaven standing on His right hand and on His 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 amin’ ny ankavanany sy teo amin’ ny ankaviany.
19 And the LORD said: who shall entice Ahab king of Israel, that he may go up and fall at Ramoth-gilead? And one spoke saying after this manner, and another saying after that manner.
Ary hoy Jehovah: Iza no hitaona an’ i Ahaba, mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely, handeha ho any Ramota-gileada ka ho lavo any? Ary ny anankiray niteny toy izao, ary ny anankiray kosa niteny toy izao.
20 And there came forth the spirit, and stood before the LORD, and said: I will entice him. And the LORD said unto him: Wherewith?
Dia nandroso ny fanahy ka nitsangana teo anatrehan’ i Jehovah ary nanao hoe: Izaho no hitaona azy. Ary hoy Jehovah taminy: Amin’ inona anefa?
21 And he said: I will go forth, and will be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets. And He said: Thou shalt entice him, and shalt prevail also; 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; mivoaka ary, ka ataovy izany.
22 Now therefore, behold, the LORD hath put a lying spirit in the mouth of these thy prophets; and the LORD hath spoken evil concerning thee.'
Koa, indro, Jehovah efa nanisy fanahy mandainga ao am-bavan’ ireto mpaminaninao ireto, ary Izy koa efa nilaza ny loza hanjo anao.
23 Then Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah came near, and smote Micaiah upon the check, and said: 'Which way went the spirit of the LORD from me to speak unto thee?'
Fa Zedekia, zanak’ i Kenana, nanatona, dia namely ny takolak’ i Mikaia sady nanao hoe: Taiza no lalana nialan’ ny Fanahin’ i Jehovah tamiko hiteny aminao?
24 And Micaiah said: 'Behold, thou shalt see on that day, when thou shalt go into an inner chamber to hide thyself.'
Dia hoy Mitaia: Indro, ho hitanao izany amin’ ny andro hidiranao ao amin’ ny efi-trano anatiny hierenao.
25 And the king of Israel said: 'Take ye Micaiah; and carry him back unto Amon the governor of the city, and to Joash the king's son;
Dia hoy ny mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely: Raiso Mikaia, ka ento miverina izy ho any amin’ i Amona, komandin’ ny tanana, sy ho any amin’ i Joasy, zanaky ny mpanjaka,
26 and say: Thus saith the king: Put this fellow in the prison, and feed him with scant bread and with scant water, until 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.
27 And Micaiah said: 'If thou return at all in peace, the LORD hath not spoken by me.' And he said: 'Hear, ye peoples, all of you.'
Fa hoy Mikaia: Raha tahìny ho tafaverina soa aman-tsara ianao, dia tsy nampitenenin’ i Jehovah aho tsy akory. Ary hoy koa izy: Samia mihaino izany, ry firenena rehetra.
28 So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the kind of Judah went up to Ramoth-gilead.
Dia niatatra nankany Ramota-gileada ny mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely sy Josafata, mpanjakan’ ny Joda.
29 And the king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat: 'I will disguise myself, and go into the battle; but put thou on thy robes.' So the king of Israel disguised himself; and they 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 nitsarapata tany anatin’ ny ady.
30 Now the king of Aram had commanded the captains of his chariots, saying: 'Fight neither with small nor great, save only with the king of Israel.'
Fa ny mpanjakan’ i Syria efa nandidy Ireo komandin’ ny kalesiny nanao hoe: Aza miady na amin’ ny kely na amin’ ny lehibe, afa-tsy amin’ ny mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely ihany.
31 And it came to pass, when the captains of the chariots saw Jehoshaphat, that they said: 'It is the king of Israel.' Therefore they turned about to fight against him; but Jehoshaphat cried out, and the LORD helped him; and God moved them to depart from him.
Ary nony nahita an’ i Josafata ireo komandin’ ny kalesy, dia hoy izy: Iny mihitsy no mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely. Dia nohodidininy hasiany izy, ka dia niantsoantso Josafata, ary Jehovah namonjy azy; eny, Andriamanitra nampiala ireo teo aminy;
32 And it came to pass, when the captains of the chariots saw that it was not the king of Israel, that they turned back from pursuing him.
ary rehefa hitan’ ireo komandin’ ny kalesy fa tsy ny mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely izy, dia niverina niala taminy ireo.
33 And a certain man drew his bow at a venture, and smote the king of Israel between the lower armour and the breastplate; wherefore he said to the driver of the chariot: 'Turn thy hand, and carry me out of the host; for I am sore wounded.'
Ary nisy lehilahy anankiray nandefa zana-tsipìka kitoatoa ka nahavoa ny mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely teo anelenalen’ ny fiarovan-tratrany sy ny eo ambaniny, ka dia hoy izy tamin’ ny mpampandeha ny kalesiny: Ahodino, ka ento miala eto amin’ ny mpiady aho, fa voa.
34 And the battle increased that day; howbeit the king of Israel stayed himself up in his chariot against the Arameans until the even; and about the time of the going down of the sun he died.
Ary nihamafy ny ady tamin’ izany andro izany; ary ny mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely nihafy nitsangana teo amin’ ny kalesiny tandrifin’ ny Syriana mandra-paharivan’ ny andro; fa nony efa hilentika ny masoandro, dia maty izy.
