2 Chronicles 18
1 And it came to pass, when Jehoshaphat had riches and honour, in abundance, that he contracted, by marriage, affinity with Ahab.
Nísinsin yìí Jehoṣafati sì ní ọrọ̀ àti ọlá púpọ̀, ó sì dá àna pẹ̀lú Ahabu nípa fífẹ́ ọmọ rẹ̀.
2 So he went down, at the end of some years, unto Ahab, to Samaria, Ahab therefore sacrificed for him, sheep and oxen, in abundance, also for the people whom he had with him, -and then persuaded him to go up against Ramoth-gilead.
Lẹ́yìn ọjọ́ díẹ̀, ó sọ̀kalẹ̀ láti lọ bá Ahabu lálejò ní Samaria. Ahabu sì pa àgùntàn àti màlúù púpọ̀ fún àti àwọn ènìyàn tí ó wà pẹ̀lú rẹ̀ ó sì rọ̀ ọ́ láti dojú ìjà kọ Ramoti Gileadi.
3 For Ahab king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat king of Judah, Wilt thou go up with me to Ramoth-gilead? And he said unto him—So am I, even as thou, and, like thy people, are my people, and, with thee, in the war.
Ahabu ọba Israẹli sì béèrè lọ́wọ́ ọba Jehoṣafati, ọba Juda pé, “Ṣé ìwọ yóò lọ pẹ̀lú mi sí Ramoti Gileadi?” Jehoṣafati sì dá a lóhùn pé, “Èmi wà gẹ́gẹ́ bí ìwọ ti ṣe wà, àti àwọn ènìyàn mi gẹ́gẹ́ bí ènìyàn rẹ àwa yóò pẹ̀lú rẹ nínú ogun náà”.
4 Then said Jehoshaphat, unto the king of Israel, —Seek, I pray thee, some time to-day, the word of Yahweh.
Ṣùgbọ́n Jehoṣafati náà sì tún wí fún ọba Israẹli pé, “Kọ́kọ́ béèrè lọ́wọ́ Olúwa.”
5 So the king of Israel gathered together the prophets, four hundred men, and said unto them, Shall we go up against Ramoth-gilead to battle, or shall I forbear? And they said—Go up, and may God deliver it into the hand of the king!
Bẹ́ẹ̀ ọba Israẹli kó àwọn wòlíì papọ̀, irinwó ọkùnrin ó sì bi wọ́n pé, “Kí àwa kí lọ sí ogun Ramoti Gileadi tàbí kí èmi kí ó jọ̀wọ́ rẹ?” Wọ́n dáhùn pé, “Lọ, nítorí tí Ọlọ́run yóò fi lé ọba lọ́wọ́.”
6 Then said Jehoshaphat, Is there not here a prophet of Yahweh, besides, —that we may seek, from him?
Ṣùgbọ́n Jehoṣafati béèrè pé, “Ṣé kò ha sí wòlíì Olúwa níbí ẹni tí àwa ìbá béèrè lọ́wọ́ rẹ̀?”
7 Then said the king of Israel unto Jehoshaphat—There is yet one man, by whom to seek Yahweh, but, I, hate him, for he is never prophesying, concerning me, anything good—but—all his days—evil, the same, is Micaiah, son of Imla. Then said Jehoshaphat, Let not the king say, so!
Ọba Israẹli dá Jehoṣafati lóhùn pé, “Ọkùnrin kan wà síbẹ̀ lọ́dọ̀ ẹni tí àwa ìbá tún béèrè lọ́wọ́ Olúwa, ṣùgbọ́n èmi kórìíra rẹ̀ nítorí kò jẹ́ sọ àsọtẹ́lẹ̀ ohun rere kan nípa mi ṣùgbọ́n bí kò ṣe ohun búburú, ní gbogbo ìgbà òun náà ni Mikaiah ọmọ Imla.” Jehoṣafati sì dá lóhùn pé, “Ọba kò gbọdọ̀ sọ bẹ́ẹ̀.”
8 And the king of Israel called for a certain officer, —and said, Haste, Micaiah son of Imla!
Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ọba Israẹli pe ọ̀kan lára àwọn ìjòyè ó sì wí pé, “Ẹ mú Mikaiah ọmọ Imla kí ó yára wá.”
9 Now, the king of Israel, and Jehoshaphat king of Judah, were sitting, each upon his throne, clothed in robes, and they were sitting in an open space, at the entrance of the gate of Samaria, —and, all the prophets, were prophesying before them.
Wọ́n wọ aṣọ ìgúnwà wọn, ọba Israẹli àti Jehoṣafati ọba Juda wọ́n jókòó sórí ìtẹ́ wọ́n ní ìta ẹnu-bodè Samaria, pẹ̀lú gbogbo àwọn wòlíì tí ń sọtẹ́lẹ̀ níwájú wọn.
10 Then did Zedekiah son of Chenaanah make him horns of iron, —and said—Thus, saith Yahweh, With these, shalt thou push Syria, until they are consumed.
Nísinsin yìí Sedekiah ọmọ Kenaana sì ti ṣe ìwo irin, ó sì wí pé, “Èyí ni ohun tí Olúwa sọ: ‘Pẹ̀lú èyí ìwọ yóò kan àwọn ará Siria títí ìwọ ó fi pa wọ́n run.’”
11 And, all the prophets, were prophesying, so, saying, -Go up to Ramoth-gilead, and prosper, and Yahweh will deliver [it] into the hand of the king.
Gbogbo àwọn wòlíì tí ó kù ni wọn ń sọtẹ́lẹ̀ ní àkókò kan náà. Wọ́n sì wí pé, “Dojúkọ Ramoti Gileadi ìwọ yóò sì ṣẹ́gun, nítorí Olúwa yóò fi lé ọba lọ́wọ́.”
12 And, the messenger who went to call Micaiah, spake unto him, saying, Lo! the words of the prophets, with one mouth, are good for the king, —be thy word then, I pray thee, like one of theirs, so wilt thou speak good.
Ìránṣẹ́ tí ó ti lọ pe Mikaiah sì wí fún un pé, “Ẹ wò ó, gẹ́gẹ́ bí ọkùnrin kan àti òmíràn wòlíì fi ẹnu kan sọ rere fún ọba. Jẹ́ kí ọ̀rọ̀ rẹ kí ó dàbí ọ̀kan nínú tiwọn, kí o sì sọ rere.”
13 Then said Micaiah, —By the life of Yahweh, whatsoever my God shall say, that, must I speak.
Ṣùgbọ́n Mikaiah wí pe, “Gẹ́gẹ́ bí ó ti dájú pé Olúwa ń bẹ láààyè, èmi yóò sọ ohun tí Ọlọ́run mi sọ.”
14 Now, when he came unto the king, the king said unto him, Micah, shall we go against Ramoth-gilead to battle, or shall I forbear? And he said, Go ye up and prosper, and may they be delivered into your hand.
Nígbà tí ó dé, ọba béèrè lọ́wọ́ rẹ̀, “Mikaiah, ṣe kí àwa ki ó lọ sí ogun ti Ramoti Gileadi, tàbí kí àwa kí ó fàsẹ́yìn?” Ó sì dáhùn pé, “Ẹ dojúkọ wọ́n kí ẹ sì ṣẹ́gun, nítorí a ó fi wọ́n lé yín lọ́wọ́.”
15 Then the king said unto him, How many times, must, I, be putting thee on oath, —that thou speak unto me nothing but the truth in the name of Yahweh?
Ọba sì wí fún un pé, “Ìgbà mélòó ni èmi ó fi ọ́ búra láti sọ ohun kan fún mi bí kò ṣe ọ̀rọ̀ òtítọ́ ní orúkọ Olúwa?”
16 So he said, I saw all Israel, scattered upon the mountains, like sheep that have no shepherd, -and Yahweh said, No masters, have these! let them return every man unto his own house, in peace.
Mikaiah sì dáhùn pé, “Mo rí gbogbo Israẹli túká kiri lórí àwọn òkè bí àgùntàn tí kò ní olùṣọ́, Olúwa sì wí pé, ‘Àwọn wọ̀nyí kò ní olúwa. Jẹ́ kí olúkúlùkù padà sí ilé rẹ̀ ní àlàáfíà.’”
17 Then said the king of Israel, unto Jehoshaphat, —Said I not unto thee, He wilt not prophesy concerning me anything good, but evil?
Ọba Israẹli wí fún Jehoṣafati pé, “Ṣe èmi kò sọ fún ọ wí pé òun kò sọ àsọtẹ́lẹ̀ rere kankan nípa mi rí, ṣùgbọ́n búburú nìkan?”
18 Then said he, Therefore, hear ye the word of Yahweh, —I saw Yahweh, sitting upon his throne, and, all the host of the heavens, standing, on his right hand and his left.
Mikaiah tẹ̀síwájú pé, “Nítorí náà, gbọ́ ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa, mo rí Olúwa jókòó lórí ìtẹ́ rẹ̀ gbogbo ogun ọ̀run sì dúró lápá ọ̀tún àti lápá òsì.
19 Then said Yahweh, Who will persuade Ahab king of Israel, that he may go up and fall in Ramoth-gilead? And one spake, saying after this manner, and another, saying after that manner.
Olúwa sì wí pé, ‘Ta ni yóò tan Ahabu ọba Israẹli lọ sí Ramoti Gileadi kí ó sì lọ kú ikú rẹ̀ níbẹ̀?’ “Èkínní sì sọ tìhín, òmíràn sì sọ tọ̀hún.
20 Then came there forth a spirit and stood before Yahweh, and said, I, will persuade him. And Yahweh said unto him, Wherewith?
Ní ìparí, ni ẹ̀mí kan wá síwájú, ó dúró níwájú Olúwa ó sì wí pé, ‘Èmi yóò tàn án.’ “‘Nípa ọ̀nà wo?’ Olúwa béèrè.
21 And he said, I will go forth and become a spirit of falsehood, in the mouth of all his prophets. And he said—Thou mayest persuade, moreover also, thou shalt prevail, go forth, and do, so.
“‘Èmi yóò lọ láti lọ di ẹ̀mí èké ní ẹnu gbogbo àwọn wòlíì.’ “‘Ìwọ yóò sì borí nínú ìtànjẹ rẹ̀ báyìí,’ ni Olúwa wí. ‘Lọ kí ó sì ṣe bẹ́ẹ̀.’
22 Now, therefore, lo! Yahweh hath suffered a spirit of falsehood to be put into the mouth of these thy prophets, —but, Yahweh, hath spoken concerning thee—evil.
“Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni nísinsin yìí Olúwa ti fi ẹ̀mí èké sí ẹnu àwọn wòlíì rẹ. Olúwa sì ti sọ ibi sí ọ.”
23 Then drew near Zedekiah son of Chenaanah, and smote Micaiah upon the cheek, —and said, Which then is the way the spirit of Yahweh passed from me, to speak with thee?
Nígbà náà Sedekiah ọmọ Kenaana lọ sókè ó sì gbá Mikaiah ní ojú. Ó sì béèrè pé, “Ní ọ̀nà wo ni ẹ̀mí Olúwa gbà kọjá lọ kúrò lọ́dọ̀ mi láti bá ọ sọ̀rọ̀?”
24 Then said Micaiah, Lo! thou shalt see, on that day when thou shalt enter into a chamber within a chamber, to hide thyself.
Mikaiah sì dáhùn pé, “Ìwọ yóò ṣe ìwádìí ní ọjọ́ tí ìwọ yóò sá pamọ́ sínú ìyẹ̀wù.”
25 Then said the king of Israel, Take ye Micaiah, and carry him back unto Amon ruler of the city, and unto Joash son of the king;
Ọba Israẹli pa á láṣẹ pé, “Mú Mikaiah kí o sì ran padà sí Amoni olórí ìlú àti sí Joaṣi ọmọ ọba,
26 and ye shall say, Thus, saith the king, Put ye this one into the prison, —and feed him with the bread of oppression, and with the water of oppression, until I return in peace.
Ó sì wí pé, ‘Èyí ni ohun tí ọba sọ, ẹ fi ènìyàn yìí sínú túbú kí ẹ má sì ṣe fún un ní ohunkóhun ṣùgbọ́n àkàrà àti omi títí tí èmi yóò fi dé ní àlàáfíà.’”
27 Then said Micaiah, If thou do, at all return, in peace, Yahweh hath not spoken by me. And he said, Hear! ye peoples, all!
Mikaiah sì wí pe, “Tí ìwọ bá padà ní àlàáfíà, Olúwa kò sọ̀rọ̀ láti ọ̀dọ̀ mi.” Nígbà náà, ó sì fi kún un pé, “Ẹ gbọ́ ọ̀rọ̀ mi, gbogbo ẹ̀yin ènìyàn!”
28 Then went up the king of Israel, and Jehoshaphat king of Judah, against Ramothgilead.
Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ọba Israẹli àti Jehoṣafati ọba Juda lọ sókè ní Ramoti Gileadi.
29 And the king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat, [I am about] to disguise myself, and enter into the battle, but, thou, put on thy robes. So the king of Israel disguised himself, and entered into the battle.
Ọba Israẹli sọ fún Jehoṣafati pé, “Èmi yóò lọ sí ojú ìjà, ṣùgbọ́n ìwọ wọ aṣọ ìgúnwà rẹ.” Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ọba Israẹli pa aṣọ rẹ̀ dà, ó sì lọ sí ojú ìjà.
30 Now, the king of Syria, had commanded the captains of chariots which he had, saying, Ye shall not fight, with small [or] with great, —save with the king of Israel, alone.
Nísinsin yìí ọba Siria ti pàṣẹ fún àwọn olórí kẹ̀kẹ́ tí ó wà ní ọ̀dọ̀ rẹ̀ pé, “Ẹ má ṣe jà pẹ̀lú ẹnìkankan, èwe tàbí àgbà àyàfi ọba Israẹli.”
31 So it came to pass, when the chariot-captains saw Jehoshaphat, that, they, said, The king of Israel, it is. And they compassed him about, to fight, —but Jehoshaphat made outcry, and, Yahweh, helped him, yea God allured them away from him.
Nígbà tí àwọn olórí kẹ̀kẹ́ rí Jehoṣafati, wọ́n rò wí pé, “Èyí ní ọba Israẹli.” Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni wọ́n sì yípadà láti bá a jà. Ṣùgbọ́n Jehoṣafati kégbe sókè, Olúwa sì ràn án lọ́wọ́. Ọlọ́run sì lé wọn kúrò lọ́dọ̀ rẹ̀,
32 And so it came to pass, when the chariot-captains saw that it was not the king of Israel, that they turned back from pursuing him;
Ó sì ṣe, nígbà tí olórí kẹ̀kẹ́ rí i wí pé kì í ṣe ọba Israẹli, wọ́n sì dáwọ́ lílé rẹ̀ dúró.
33 but, a certain man, drawing a bow in his innocence, smote the king of Israel between the shoulder-joints and the coat of mail, —wherefore he said to the charioteer, Turn thy hand, and convey me out of the host, for I am sore wounded.
Ṣùgbọ́n ẹnìkan fa ọrun rẹ̀ láì pète, ó sì bá ọba Israẹli láàrín ìpàdé ẹ̀wù irin, ọba sì sọ fún olùtọ́jú kẹ̀kẹ́ rẹ̀ pé, “Yí ọwọ́ rẹ padà, kí o sì wà mí jáde kúrò lójú ìjà. Nítorí èmi ti gbọgbẹ́.”
34 But the battle increased on that day, and, the king of Israel, was propping himself up in the chariot before the Syrians, until evening, -and died at the time of the going in of the sun.
Ní ọjọ́ pípẹ́, ìjà náà sì ń pọ̀ sí i, ọba Israẹli dúró nínú kẹ̀kẹ́ rẹ̀ kọjú sí àwọn ará Siria títí ó fi di àṣálẹ́. Lẹ́yìn náà ní àkókò ìwọ oòrùn, ó sì kú.
