2 Kings 3
1 And Jehoram [the] son of Ahab he became king over Israel in Samaria in year eight-teen of Jehoshaphat [the] king of Judah and he reigned two [plus] ten year[s].
Or Jehoram, figliuolo di Achab, cominciò a regnare sopra Israele a Samaria l’anno decimottavo di Giosafat, re di Giuda, e regnò dodici anni.
2 And he did the evil in [the] eyes of Yahweh only not like father his and like mother his and he removed [the] sacred pillar of Baal which he had made father his.
Egli fece ciò ch’è male agli occhi dell’Eterno; ma non quanto suo padre e sua madre, perché tolse via la statua di Baal, che suo padre avea fatta.
3 Only to [the] sins of Jeroboam [the] son of Nebat which he caused to sin Israel he clung not he turned aside from it.
Nondimeno egli rimase attaccato ai peccati coi quali Geroboamo figliuolo di Nebat, aveva fatto peccare Israele; e non se ne distolse.
4 And Mesha [the] king of Moab he was a sheep-breeder and he returned to [the] king of Israel one hundred thousand lambs and one hundred thousand rams wool.
Or Mesha, re di Moab, allevava molto bestiame e pagava al re d’Israele un tributo di centomila agnelli e centomila montoni con le loro lane.
5 And it was when died Ahab and he rebelled [the] king of Moab against [the] king of Israel.
Ma, morto che fu Achab, il re di Moab si ribellò al re d’Israele.
6 And he went out the king Jehoram on the day that from Samaria and he mustered all Israel.
Allora il re Jehoram uscì di Samaria e passò in rassegna tutto Israele;
7 And he went and he sent to Jehoshaphat [the] king of Judah saying [the] king of Moab he has rebelled against me ¿ will you go with me against Moab for battle and he said I will go up as me as you as people my as people your as horses my as horses your.
poi si mise in via, e mandò a dire a Giosafat, re di Giuda: “Il re di Moab mi si è ribellato; vuoi tu venire con me alla guerra contro Moab?” Quegli rispose: “Verrò; fa’ conto di me come di te stesso, del mio popolo come del tuo, de’ miei cavalli come dei tuoi.
8 And he said where? this [is] the way [which] we will go up and he said [the] way of [the] wilderness of Edom.
E soggiunse: “Per che via saliremo?” Jehoram rispose: “Per la via del deserto di Edom”.
9 And he went [the] king of Israel and [the] king of Judah and [the] king of Edom and they went around a journey of seven days and not it belonged water to the army and to the animal[s] which [was] at feet their.
Così il re d’Israele, il re di Giuda e il re di Edom si mossero; e dopo aver girato a mezzodì con una marcia di sette giorni, mancò l’acqua all’esercito e alle bestie che gli andavan dietro.
10 And he said [the] king of Israel alas! for he has summoned Yahweh [the] three the kings these to give them in [the] hand of Moab.
Allora il re d’Israele disse: “Ahimè, l’Eterno ha chiamati assieme questi tre re, per darli nelle mani di Moab!”
11 And he said Jehoshaphat ¿ [is] there not here a prophet of Yahweh and let us consult Yahweh from him and he answered one from [the] servants of [the] king of Israel and he said [is] here Elisha [the] son of Shaphat who he poured water on [the] hands of Elijah.
Ma Giosafat chiese: “Non v’ha egli qui alcun profeta dell’Eterno mediante il quale possiam consultare l’Eterno?” Uno dei servi del re d’Israele rispose: “V’è qui Eliseo, figliuolo di Shafat, il quale versava l’acqua sulle mani d’Elia”. E Giosafat disse:
12 And he said Jehoshaphat there him [is] [the] word of Yahweh and they went down to him [the] king of Israel and Jehoshaphat and [the] king of Edom.
“La parola dell’Eterno è con lui”. Così il re d’Israele, Giosafat e il re di Edom andarono a trovarlo.
13 And he said Elisha to [the] king of Israel what? [is] to me and to you go to [the] prophets of father your and to [the] prophets of mother your and he said to him [the] king of Israel may not [it be so] for he has summoned Yahweh [the] three the kings these to give them in [the] hand of Moab.
Eliseo disse al re d’Israele: “Che ho io da far con te? Vattene ai profeti di tuo padre ed ai profeti di tua madre!” Il re d’Israele gli rispose: “No, perché l’Eterno ha chiamati insieme questi tre re per darli nelle mani di Moab”.
14 And he said Elisha [by] [the] life of Yahweh of hosts whom I stand before him for if not [the] face of Jehoshaphat [the] king of Judah I [am] lifting up if I will look to you and if I will see you.
Allora Eliseo disse: “Com’è vero che vive l’Eterno degli eserciti al quale io servo, se non avessi rispetto a Giosafat, re di Giuda, io non avrei badato a te né t’avrei degnato d’uno sguardo.
15 And now fetch for me a musician and it was when played the musician and it was on him [the] hand of Yahweh.
Ma ora conducetemi qua un sonatore d’arpa”. E, mentre il sonatore arpeggiava, la mano dell’Eterno fu sopra Eliseo,
16 And he said thus he says Yahweh make the wadi this ditches - ditches.
che disse: “Così parla l’Eterno: Fate in questa valle delle fosse, delle fosse.
17 For thus - he says Yahweh not you will see wind and not you will see rain and the wadi that it will be filled water and you will drink you and livestock your and animal[s] your.
Poiché così dice l’Eterno: Voi non vedrete vento, non vedrete pioggia, e nondimeno questa valle si riempirà d’acqua; e berrete voi, il vostro bestiame e le vostre bestie da tiro.
18 And it will be trifling this in [the] eyes of Yahweh and he will give Moab in hand your.
E questo è ancora poca cosa agli occhi dell’Eterno; perché egli darà anche Moab nelle vostre mani.
19 And you will strike down every city of fortification and every city of choice and every tree good you will make fall and all [the] springs of water you will stop up and every portion of land good you will spoil with stones.
E voi distruggerete tutte le città fortificate e tutte le città ragguardevoli, abbatterete tutti i buoni alberi, turerete tutte le sorgenti d’acqua, e guasterete con delle pietre ogni buon pezzo di terra”.
20 And it was in the morning when went up the offering and there! waters [were] coming from [the] direction of Edom and it was filled the land the waters.
La mattina dopo, nell’ora in cui s’offre l’oblazione, ecco che l’acqua arrivò dal lato di Edom e il paese ne fu ripieno.
21 And all Moab they had heard that they had come up the kings to fight against them and they were summoned from every [one who] girds on a belt and up-wards and they took their stand at the border.
Ora tutti i Moabiti, avendo udito che quei re eran saliti per muover loro guerra, avevan radunato tutti quelli ch’erano in età di portare le armi, e occupavano la frontiera.
22 And they rose early in the morning and the sun it shone on the water and they saw Moab from before the water red like blood.
La mattina, come furono alzati, il sole splendeva sulle acque, e i Moabiti videro, là dirimpetto a loro, le acque rosse come sangue;
23 And they said [is] blood this certainly they have fought one another the kings and they have struck down each neighbor his and therefore to the plunder O Moab.
e dissero: “Quello è sangue! Quei re son di certo venuti alle mani fra loro e si son distrutti fra loro; or dunque, Moab, alla preda!”
24 And they came to [the] camp of Israel and they arose Israel and they struck down Moab and they fled from before them (and they struck down *Q(K)*) it and they struck down Moab.
E si avanzarono verso il campo d’Israele; ma sorsero gl’Israeliti e sbaragliarono i Moabiti, che fuggirono d’innanzi a loro. Poi penetrarono nel paese, e continuarono a battere Moab.
25 And the cities they tore down and every portion of land good they threw each stone his and they filled it and every spring of water they stopped up and every tree good they made fall until he left behind stones its in Kir Hareseth and they surrounded [it] the slingers and they struck it.
Distrussero le città; ogni buon pezzo di terra lo riempirono di pietre, ciascuno gettandovi la sua; turarono tutte le sorgenti d’acque e abbatterono tutti i buoni alberi. Non rimasero che le mura di Kir-Hareseth, e i frombolieri la circondarono e l’attaccarono.
26 And he saw [the] king of Moab that it was [too] strong for him the battle and he took him seven hundred man [who] drew a sword to break through to [the] king of Edom and not they were able.
Il re di Moab, vedendo che l’attacco era troppo forte per lui, prese seco settecento uomini, per aprirsi, a spada tratta, un varco, fino al re di Edom; ma non poterono.
27 And he took son his the firstborn who he will reign in place of him and he offered up him a burnt offering on the wall and it was wrath great towards Israel and they departed from on him and they returned to the land.
Allora prese il suo figliuolo primogenito, che dovea succedergli nel regno, e l’offerse in olocausto sopra le mura. A questa vista, un profondo orrore s’impadronì degli Israeliti, che s’allontanarono dal re di Moab e se ne tornarono al loro paese.
