1 Kings 20
1 Now, Ben-hadad, king of Syria, had gathered together all his forces, and, thirty-two kings, were with him, and horses and chariots, —then came he up, and laid siege to Samaria, and made war against it.
Ary Beni-hadada, mpanjakan’ i Syria, namory ny miaramilany rehetra, koa mpanjaka roa amby telo-polo mbamin’ ny soavaly sy ny kalesy no niaraka taminy; dia niakatra izy ka nanao fahirano an’ i Samada ary namely azy.
2 And he sent messengers unto Ahab king of Israel, into the city, and said to him, —Thus, saith Ben-hadad,
Ary nandefa iraka ho any amin’ i Ahaba, mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely, tany an-tanàna izy
3 Thy silver and thy gold, are, mine, and, thy wives and thy sons, the goodliest, are, mine.
hanao aminy hoe: Izao no lazain’ i Beni-hadada: Ny volafotsinao sy ny volamenanao dia ahy; ary ny vadinao aman-janakao, na dia ny tsara tarehy indrindra aza, dia ahy koa.
4 Then responded the king of Israel, and said, According to thy word, my lord O king! thine, am I, and all that I have.
Ary ny mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely namaly hoe: Eny marina ny teninao ry mpanjaka tompoko ô: anao aho sy izay rehetra ananako.
5 And the messengers came back again, and said, Thus, speaketh Ben-hadad, saying, —Because I sent unto thee, saying, Thy silver and thy gold and thy wives and thy sons, to me, shalt thou give,
Dia niverina indray ny iraka ka nanao hoe: Izao no tenin’ i Beni-hadada: Naniraka tatỳ aminao aho nanao hoe: Ny volafotsinao sy ny volamenanao ary ny vadinao aman-janakao dia omeo ahy;
6 Therefore, about this time to-morrow, will I send my servants unto thee, and they shall search thy house, and the houses of thy servants, —and it shall be, that, all the delight of thine eyes, shall they put in their hand, and take away.
koa raha maniraka ny mpanompoko ho atỳ aminao aho rahampitso toy izao, ka savany ny tranonao sy ny tranon’ ny mpanomponao, dia horaisin’ ny tànany sy ho entiny avokoa izay rehetra mahafinaritra ny masonao na inona na inona.
7 Then called the king of Israel, for all the elders of the land, and said—Mark, I pray you, and see, how this man is seeking, mischief, —for he had sent unto me, for my wives, and for my sons, and for my silver, and for my gold, and I refused him not.
Ary ny mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely nampaka ny loholona rehetra amin’ ny tany ka nanao hoe: Masìna ianareo, fantaro sy izahao fa mila sotasota mihitsy ilehiny; fa efa naniraka tatỳ amiko izy haka ny vadiko aman-janako mbamin’ ny volafotsiko sy ny volamenako ka tsy nolaviko.
8 And all the elders and all the people said unto him, —Do not thou hearken, neither do thou consent.
Ary hoy ny loholona sy ny vahoaka rehetra taminy: Aza mihaino na manaiky.
9 So he said unto the messengers of Ben-hadad—Say ye to my lord the king, —All that thou didst send for, to thy servant at the first, will I do, but, this thing, I cannot do. And the messengers departed, and took him back word.
Ka dia hoy Ahaba tamin’ ny irak’ i Beni-hadada. Lazao amin’ ny mpanjaka tompoko hoe: Izay rehetra nanirahanao tany amiko mpanomponao tamin’ ny voalohany dia hataoko; fa izao zavatra izao kosa tsy azoko ekena. Dia lasa ireo iraka ka nitondra teny niverina tany amin’ i Beni-hadada indray;
10 Then Ben-hadad sent unto him and said, —So, let the gods do to me, and, so, let them add, —if the dust of Samaria suffice by handfuls, for all the people who are at my feet.
ary izy naniraka tany aminy ka nanao hoe: Hataon’ ireo andriamanitra amiko anie izany, eny, mihoatra noho izany aza, raha ho ampy eran-tànan-ila akory ny vovok’ i Samaria amin’ ny isan-olona manaraka ahy.
11 And the king of Israel responded and said: Tell him, —Let not, him that girdeth, boast himself like him, that looseneth.
Ary ny mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely namaly hoe: Izao no holazainao aminy: Aoka izay vao misikìna tsy mba hirehareha tahaka ny efa mamaha.
12 And it came to pass, when he heard this message, as, he, was drinking, he and the kings in the pavilions, that he said unto his servants—Make ready! So they made ready, against the city.
Ary rehefa ren’ i Beni-hadada izany teny izany, raha mbola nisotro tao an-trano rantsan-kazo izy sy ireo mpanjaka, dia hoy izy tamin’ ny mpanompony: Milahara ianareo. Ary dia nilahatra hamely ny tanàna izy.
13 And lo! a certain prophet, drew near unto Ahab king of Israel, and said, —Thus, saith Yahweh, Hast thou seen all this great multitude? Behold me! delivering it into thy hand, to-day, so shalt thou know that, I, am, Yahweh.
Ary, indro, nisy mpaminany nanatona an’ i Ahaba, mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely, ka nanao hoe: Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah: Hitanao va ireo olona maro be rehetra ireo? Indro, hatolotro eo an-tananao ireo anio; dia ho fantatrao fa Izaho no Jehovah.
14 And Ahab said—By whom? And he said—Thus, saith Yahweh, By the young men of the princes of the provinces. Then said he—Who shall begin the war? And he said—Thou!
Ary hoy Ahaba: Amin’ iza? Ary hoy izy: Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah: Amin’ ny zatovon’ ny komandin’ ny fanapahana isan-tokony. Dia hoy izy: Iza ary no hamely aloha? Hianao ihany, hoy izy.
15 Then numbered he the young men of the princes of the provinces, and they were found to be, two hundred and thirty-two, —and, after them, he numbered all the people all the sons of Israel, seven thousand.
Ary nandamina ny zatovon’ ny komandin’ ny fanapahana isan-tokony izy, ka roa amby telo-polo amby roan-jato no isany; ary manarakaraka izany, dia nandamina ny olona rehetra izy, dia ny Zanak’ Isiraely rehetra, ka fito arivo no isany.
16 And they went forth at noon. Now, Ben-hadad, was drinking himself drunk, in the pavilions, he and the thirty-two kings helping him.
Ary nivoaka izy nony nitataovovonana ny andro. Fa Beni-hadada nisotro ho mamo tao an-trano rantsan-kazo, dia izy sy ireo mpanjaka roa amby telo-polo izay nanampy azy.
17 Then went forth the young men of the princes of the provinces, first, —and, when Ben-hadad sent, they told him, saying—Men, have come forth, out of Samaria.
Ary ny zatovon’ ny komandin’ ny fanapahana isan-tokony nivoaka voalohany; ary Beni-hadada naniraka, ka dia nilazana hoe: Misy olona efa nivoaka avy any Samaria.
18 And he said—If, peaceably, they have come, take them alive, —or, if, fighting, they have come, alive, take ye them.
Ary hoy izy: Ataovy sambo-belona izy, na ho avy hihavana, na ho avy hiady.
19 Now, when, these, had come forth out of the city, even the young men of the princes of the provinces, —with the force which was following them,
Dia nivoaka avy tao an-tanàna ireo zatovon’ ny komandin’ ny fanapahana isan-totony ireo sy ny miaramila izay nanaraka azy.
20 then smote they every one his man, and the Syrians fled, and Israel pursued them, —but Ben-hadad king of Syria escaped on horse, with horsemen.
Ary samy nahafaty olona iray avy izy rehetra; dia vaky nandositra ny Syriana, ka nenjehin’ ny Isiraely; ary Beni-hadada, mpanjakan’ i Syria, nandositra an-tsoavaly mbamin’ ny mpitaingin-tsoavaly sasany koa.
21 And the king of Israel went forth, and took the horses and the chariots, —and he went on smiting the Syrians, with a great smiting.
Ary ny mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely nivoaka, dia namely: ny an-tsoavaly sy ny an-kalesy, ka nahafatesany be dia be ny Syriana.
22 Then drew near the prophet, unto the king of Israel, and said unto him—Go strengthen thyself, and mark and see, what thou wilt do, —for, at the return of the year, is, the king of Syria, coming up against thee.
Ary ilay mpaminany nankany amin’ ny i mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely ka nanao taminy hoe: Mahereza tsara, ary fantaro sy izahao izay ataonao; fa raha miherina ny taona, dia hiakatra indray ny mpanjakan’ i Syria hiady aminao.
23 And, the servants of the king of Syria, said unto him, —Gods of the mountains, are their gods, for this cause, prevailed they against us, —but, only let us fight with them in the plain, and verily we shall prevail against them.
Ary hoy ny mpanompon’ ny mpanjakan’ i Syria taminy: Andriamanitry ny havoana ny Andriamanitr’ izy ireo, koa izany no nahareseny antsika; fa aoka ange isika hiady aminy eny an-tany lemaka, raha tsy ho resintsika izy e!
24 But, this thing, do, —set aside the kings, every man out of his place, and put governors in their stead;
Koa izao zavatra izao no ataovy: Esory ny mpanjaka samy hiala amin’ ny toerany avy, ka asio mpanapaka hisolo azy;
25 and, thou, must number thee a force, like the force which thou hast lost, both horse for horse and chariot for chariot, and, if we fight with them in the plain, verily we shall prevail against them. And he hearkened unto their voice, and did so.
ary ianao kosa dia makà miaramila ho anao toraka ny miaramilanao izay maty teo ary soavaly ho solon’ ny soavaly sy kalesy ho solon’ ny kalesy; ary hiady aminy eny an-tany lemaka isika, ka dia hahery noho izy tokoa. Ary nanaiky ny tenin’ ireo izy, ka dia nataony izany.
26 And so it came to pass at the return of the year, that Ben-hadad numbered the Syrians, —and came up to Aphek, to fight with Israel;
Ary nony niherina ny taona, dia nandamina ny Syriana Beni-hadada ka niakatra nankany Afeka hiady amin’ ny Isiraely.
27 and, the sons of Israel, were numbered, and provisioned, and went to meet them, —and the sons of Israel encamped before them like two little flocks of goats, whereas, the Syrians, filled the land.
Ary ny Zanak’ Isiraely rehetra kosa dia nalamina sy novatsiana, ka dia lasa hiady aminy; ary ny Zanak’ Isiraely nitoby tandrifiny toy ny osy andiany kely roa toko; fa ny Syriana kosa nanenika ny tany.
28 Then approached the man of God, and spake unto the king of Israel, and said—Thus, saith Yahweh—Because the Syrians have said—A god of the mountains, is Yahweh, but, not a god of the vales, is he, therefore will I deliver all this great multitude, into thy hand, so shalt thou know, that, I, am Yahweh.
Ary nanatona ilay lehilahin’ Andriamanitra ka nilaza tamin’ ny mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely hoe: Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah: Satria ny Syriana nilaza hoe: Andriamanitry ny havoana ihany Jehovah, fa tsy mba Andriamanitry ny tany lemaka, dia hatolotro eo an-tananao ireo olona maro be rehetra ireo, ka dia ho fantatrao fa Izaho no Jehovah.
29 So they encamped, these, over against, those, seven days, —and it came to pass, on the seventh day, that the battle was joined, and the sons of Israel smote the Syrians, a hundred thousand footmen, in one day.
Dia nitoby mifanandrify hafitoana izy roa tonta. Ary tamin’ ny andro fahafito, dia raikitra ny ady; ary ny Zanak’ Isiraely nahafaty ny miaramila an-tongotra iray hetsy tamin’ ny Syriana indray andro.
30 And they who were left fled to Aphek, into the city, and the wall fell upon twenty-seven thousand men who were left, —and, Ben-hadad, fled, and came into the city, into a chamber within a chamber.
Fa ny sisa dia nandositra nankany an-tanàna Afeka; nefa nianjeran’ ny manda ireny olona sisa ireny, ary fito arivo amby roa alina no isany. Ary Beni-hadada nandositra nankany an-tanàna ka niditra tao amin’ ny efi-trano anatiny.
31 And his servants said unto him, Lo! we pray thee, we have heard, of the kings of the house of Israel, that, kings known for lovingkindness, they are. Let us, we pray thee, put sackcloth upon our loins, and ropes about our head, and let us go forth unto the king of Israel, peradventure he will save alive thy soul.
Fa hoy ny mpanompony taminy: Indro, efa renay fa mpanjaka mamindra fo ireo mpanjakan’ ny taranak’ Isiraely. Koa masìna ianao, avelao hosikinanay lamba fisaonana ny valahanay, ary hasianay mahazaka ny lohanay, dia hankany amin’ ny mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely izahay; angamba hovelominy ny ainao.
32 So they girded sackcloth upon their loins, and [put] ropes about their heads, and came in unto the king of Israel, and said, Thy servant, Ben-hadad, saith, —Let my soul live, I pray thee. And he said, —Is he yet alive? My brother, he is.
Dia nosikinany lamba fisaonana ny valahany, ary nasiany mahazaka ny lohany, dia nankany amin’ ny mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely izy ka nanao hoe: Izao no fitenin’ i Beni-hadada mpanomponao: Avelao mba ho velona ny aiko. Ary hoy izy: Moa mbola velona ihany va izy? Rahalahiko izy.
33 Now, the men, could divine, so they hastened to let him confirm the word of his own accord, and they said, —Thy brother, is Ben-hadad! He said therefore, —Go fetch him. So Ben-hadad came forth unto him, and he made him come up unto him on his chariot.
Ary nataon’ ireo olona ireo fa zara ho azy izany, dia namonjy nanantitra ny teniny izy ka nanao hoe: Rahalahinao hoe Beni-adada. Dia hoy izy: Mandehana, alao izy. Ary Beni-hadada nankany aminy, dia nasainy niakatra ho eo amin’ ny kalesiny.
34 And he said unto him—The cities which my father took from thy father, will I restore, and, bazaars, shalt thou make thee in Damascus, as my father made in Samaria. So then, I, with this covenant, will let thee go. So he solemnised with him a covenant, and let him go.
Ary hoy Beni-hadada taminy: Ny tanàna izay nalain’ ny raiko tamin’ ny rainao dia hampodiko; ary manaova lalambe ho anao any Damaskosy, tahaka ny nataon’ ny raiko tany Samaria. Ary hoy Ahaba: Halefako ianao amin’ izany fanekena izany. Dia nanao fanekena taminy izy ka nandefa azy.
35 And, a certain man of the sons of the prophets, said unto his neighbour, by the word of Yahweh—Smite me, I pray thee. But the man refused to smite him.
Ary nisy lehilahy anankiray, zanaky ny mpaminany, niteny tamin’ ny namany araka ny tenin’ i Jehovah ka nanao hoe: Masìna ianao asio aho. Fa tsy nety namely azy ilay lehilahy.
36 So he said to him—Because thou hast not hearkened unto the voice of Yahweh, lo! when thou art departing from me, there shall smite thee a lion. And when he departed from beside him, a lion found him, and smote him.
Dia hoy izy taminy: Satria ianao tsy nihaino ny feon’ i Jehovah, indro, fa raha vao miala amiko eto ianao, dia hisy liona hamono anao. Ary raha vao niala teo aminy izy, dia hitan’ ny liona ka novonoiny.
37 Then found he another man, and said, —Smite me, I pray thee. So the man smote him—kept on smiting and wounding.
Ary nahita lehilahy hafa indray ralehilahy ka nanao hoe: Masìna ianao, asio aho. Ary ilay lehilahy namely azy, dia voa izy ka naratra.
38 Then the prophet departed, and waited for the king, by the way, —and disguised himself with his turban over his eyes.
Dia lasa ilay mpaminany ka niandry ny mpanjaka teny an-dalana, ary nasiany fehiloha tamin’ ny handriny tsy hahafantarany azy.
39 And so it was, when, the king, was passing, he, cried out unto the king, —and said—Thy servant, went out in the midst of the battle, and lo! a man, turned aside and brought unto me a man, and said—Keep this man, if he be, missing, then shall, thy life, go for, his life, or, a talent of silver, shalt thou weigh out.
Ary nony nandalo ny mpanjaka, dia nitaraina taminy ilay mpaminany ka nanao hoe: Izaho mpanomponao nankany anatin’ ny ady; ary, indro, nisy lehilahy anankiray nivily ka nitondra lehilahy tany amiko sady nanao hoe: Hazony ity lehilahy ity; fa raha tahìny lasa izy, dia ny ainao no hisolo ny amy, na handoa talenta volafotsy iray ianao.
40 And so it was, as thy servant was busy here and there, that, he, was gone. And the king of Israel said unto him—Such, is thy judgment, thou thyself, hast decided it.
Kanjo nony nikeninkenina tetsy sy teroa ny mpanomponao, dia lasa izy. Ary hoy ny mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely taminy: Ho tahaka izany ihany no hitsarana anao; ny tenanao no nilaza izany.
41 Then hastened he, and removed the turban from over his eyes, —and the king of Israel knew him, that, of the prophets, was, he.
Ary nesoriny haingana ilay fehi-loha tamin’ ny handriny; ka dia fantatry ny mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely fa isan’ ny mpaminany izy.
42 And he said unto him—Thus, saith Yahweh, Because thou hast let go the man whom I had devoted, out of thy hand, therefore shall, thy life, be instead of, his life, and, thy people, instead of, his people.
Dia hoy izy taminy: Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah: Satria nalefanao niala teo an-tananao ny lehilahy izay nasaiko hovonoina tokoa, dia ny ainao no hisolo ny ainy, ary ny olonao no hisolo ny olony.
43 And the king of Israel departed unto his house, sullen and disturbed, —and entered Samaria.
Ary ny mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely nandeha ho any an-tranony sady nalahelo no sosotra, dia tonga tany Samaria.
