2 Kings 8
1 After Elisha caused the son of the woman from Shunem [town] to become alive again, he told her that she should leave with her family and live somewhere else for a while, because Yahweh was going to (send a famine/cause food to become very scarce) in the land. He said that the famine would last for seven years.
Ary Elisa efa niteny tamin-dravehivavy, renin’ ilay zaza maty novelominy, ka nanao hoe: Miaingà, ka mandehana ianao sy ny ankohonanao, ary mivahinia any amin’ izay azonao hivahiniana; fa Jehovah efa niantso ny mosary, sady efa ho tonga izany ka haharitra fito taona amin’ ny tany.
2 So the woman did what Elisha told her to do. She and her family went to live in [the] Philistia [region] for seven years.
Dia niainga ravehivavy ka nanao araka ny tenin’ ilay lehilahin’ Andriamanitra; eny, lasa izy sy ny ankohonany ka nivahiny fito taona tany amin’ ny tanin’ ny Filistina.
3 After the seven years were ended, they returned to their home. The woman went to the king to request that her house and her land be given back to her.
Ary nony afaka ny fito taona, dia nody avy tany amin’ ny tanin’ ny Filistina ravehivavy; ary lasa nitaraina tamin’ ny mpanjaka izy ny amin’ ny tranony sy ny taniny.
4 When she arrived, the king was talking with Gehazi, Elisha’s servant. The king was saying to him, “Tell me all the great things that Elisha has done.”
Ary ny mpanjaka niteny tamin’ i Gehazy, zatovon’ ny lehilahin’ Andriamanitra, hoe: Masìna ianao, lazao amiko izay zava-dehibe rehetra nataon’ i Elisa.
5 While Gehazi was telling the king that Elisha had caused the son of a woman [from Shunem] to become alive again, that woman came in and requested the king to enable her to get her house and land back again. Gehazi exclaimed, “Your Majesty, this is the woman whose son Elisha caused to become alive again!”
Ary raha mbola nilazalaza tamin’ ny mpanjaka ny amin’ ny nameloman’ i Elisa ny maty izy dia, indro, ilay vehivavy renin’ ny zaza maty novelominy, nitaraina tamin’ ny mpanjaka ny amin’ ny tranony sy ny taniny. Ary hoy Gehazy: Ry mpanjaka tompoko ô, ity ilay vehivavy, ary io koa ilay zanany maty novelomin’ i Elisa.
6 When the king asked her about it, she told him [that what Gehazi had said was true]. The king summoned one of his officials and said to him, “[I want] everything that this woman possessed previously, including the value of all the crops that have been harvested during these last seven years while she was away from her land, [to] be given back to her.” [So the official did that].
Ary nony nanontanian’ ny mpanjaka ravehivavy, dia nilaza. Ary dia notendren’ ny mpanjaka ny tandapa anankiray ka nomeny teny hoe: Avereno izay azy rehetra, ary onero ny vokatry ny taniny rehetra hatramin’ ny andro nialany tamin’ ny tany ka mandraka ankehitriny.
7 Elisha went to Damascus, [the capital of Syria], when Ben-Hadad, the king of Syria, was [very] sick. When someone told the king that Elisha was in Damascus,
Ary Elisa tonga tany Damaskosy tamin’ i Beni-hadada, mpanjakan’ i Syria, narary; ary nisy nanambara taminy hoe: Indro, tonga atỳ ny lehilahin’ Andriamanitra.
8 the king told [one of his officials named] Hazael, “Go and talk to that prophet and take a present/gift with you to give to him. Request him to ask Yahweh if I will recover from my illness.”
Dia hoy ny mpanjaka tamin’ i Hazaela: Mitondrà fanomezana eny an-tananao, ka mandehana, mitsenà ilay lehilahin’ Andriamanitra, ary manontania izay tenin’ i Jehovah aminy ka ataovy hoe: Ho sitrana ihany va aho amin’ izao aretiko izao?
9 So Hazael went to talk with Elisha. He took with him forty camels that were carrying many kinds of goods that were produced in Damascus. When Hazael met him, he said to him, “Your friend Ben-Hadad, the king of Syria, sent me to ask you whether [you think] he will recover from his illness.”
Dia lasa Hazaela nitsena azy sady nitondra fanomezana tamin’ izay zava-tsoa rehetra any Damaskosy, dia entana entin-drameva efa-polo; ary tonga izy ka nitsangana teo anatrehany ary nanao hoe: Beni-hadada zanakao, mpanjakan’ i Syria, no naniraka ahy ho atỳ aminao hanontany hoe: Ho sitrana ihany va aho amin’ izao aretiko izao?
10 Elisha said to Hazael, “Go and say to him, ‘Yes, you will certainly not die from this illness,’ but Yahweh has shown me that he will certainly die [before he recovers].”
Ary hoy Elisa taminy: Mandehana, ka lazao aminy hoe: Eny, ho sitrana tokoa ianao. Kanefa Jehovah efa naneho ahy fa ho faty tokoa izy.
11 Then Elisha stared at him and had a terrified look on his face. That caused Hazael to feel uneasy/embarrassed. Then [suddenly] Elisha started to cry.
Ary nibanjina azy mandra-pikaodikaodiny izy; ary dia nitomany ny lehilahin’ Andriamanitra.
12 Hazael said, “Sir, why are you crying?” Elisha replied, “Because [Yahweh has enabled] me [to] know the terrible things that you will do to the people of Israel: You will burn their cities with walls around them, you will kill their fine young men with a sword, you will bash the heads of their children, and you will rip open the bellies of their pregnant women [with a sword].”
Ary hoy Hazaela: Nahoana no mitomany ianao, tompoko? Ary izy namaly hoe: Satria fantatro izay ratsy hataonao amin’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely: ny fiarovany mafy hodoranao, ny zatovony hovonoinao amin’ ny sabatra, ny zanany madinika hotorotoroinao, ary izay bevohoka eo aminy hotatahanao.
13 Hazael replied, “I am [as insignificant as] [MET] a dog; (how could I do such things?/I would never do such terrible things!)” [RHQ] Elisha replied, “Yahweh has also revealed to me that you will become the king of Syria.”
Fa hoy Hazaela: Fa zinona moa ny mpanomponao, dia ity alika ity, no dia hahavita izany zavatra lehibe izany? Fa Elisa namaly hoe: Efa nasehon’ i Jehovah tamiko fa, indro, ianao ho mpanjakan’ i Syria.
14 Then Hazael left and returned to his master/boss [the king], who asked him, “What did Elisha say?” He replied, “He told me that you would certainly recover.”
Dia niala tamin’ i Elisa izy ka nankany amin’ ny tompony; ary izy nanontany azy hoe: Ahoana no nolazain’ i Elisa taminao? Dia namaly hoe izy: Nolazainy tamiko fa ho velona tokoa ianao.
15 But the next day, [while the king was sleeping, ] Hazael took a blanket and soaked it in water. Then he spread it on the king’s face [in order that he could not breathe], and he died. Then Hazael became the king of Syria instead of Ben-Hadad.
Ary nony ampitso, dia nalain’ i Hazaela ny lamba firakotra ka natsobony tamin’ ny rano ary nasarony ny tavan’ i Beni-hadada, ka dia maty izy; ary Hazaela no nanjaka nandimby azy.
16 After King Joram, the son of Ahab, had been ruling in Israel for almost five years, Jehoshaphat’s son Jehoram became the king of Judah.
Ary tamin’ ny taona fahadimy nanjakan’ i Jorama, zanak’ i Ahaba, mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely, no vao nanjakan’ i Jehorama, zanak’ i Josafata, mpanjakan’ ny Joda, tamin’ ny nanjakan’ i Josafata tany Joda.
17 He was thirty-two years old when he became the king, and he ruled in Jerusalem for eight years.
Roa amby telo-polo taona izy, fony vao nanjaka, ary valo taona no nanjakany tany Jerosalema.
18 His wife was the daughter of King Ahab. And like everyone in Ahab’s family, he continually did the evil things that the previous kings of Israel had done. He did things that Yahweh considered to be evil.
Ary nandeha tamin’ ny lalan’ ny mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely izy, dia tahaka ny nataon’ ny taranak’ i Ahaba, fa ny zanakavavin’ i Ahaba no vadiny, eny, nanao izay ratsy eo imason’ i Jehovah izy.
19 But Yahweh did not want to get rid of the people of Judah, because of what he had promised David, who served him [very well]. He had promised David that his descendants [MET] would always rule Judah.
Nefa Jehovah tsy nety nandringana ny Joda noho ny amin’ i Davida mpanompony, araka ilay nolazainy taminy fa homeny jiro mandrakizay ho an’ ny taranany.
20 During the time that Jehoram ruled, [the king of] Edom rebelled against Judah, and they appointed their own king.
Tamin’ ny androny no niodinan’ i Edoma ka tsy nanoa ny Joda, fa nanangana mpanjaka ho azy;
21 So Jehoram went with his army and all their chariots to Zair [city near the border of Edom]. There the army of Edom surrounded them. But during the night, Jehoram and the commanders in their chariots were able to get through the enemy lines and escaped. And all his soldiers also fled to their homes.
ka dia nankany Zaïra Jehorama, ary ny kalesy rehetra nentiny hiaraka aminy; ary nanaovany latsak’ alina ny Edomita, izay nanodidina azy, mbamin’ ny komandin’ ny kalesy; ary ny olona nandositra nody.
22 So after that, Edom was no longer controlled by Judah, and it is still like that. During that same time, the people of Libnah [city] also freed themselves from being controlled by Judah.
Ary Edoma mbola niodina ka tsy nanoa ny Joda mandraka androany. Ary Libna koa dia niodina tamin’ izany andro izany.
23 [If you want to read about] the other things that Jehoram did, they are written in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Judah’.
Ary ny tantaran’ i Jehorama sisa mbamin’ izay rehetra nataony, tsy efa voasoratra ao amin’ ny bokin’ ny tantaran’ ny mpanjakan’ ny Joda va?
24 Jehoram died [EUP] and was buried where the other kings of Judah had been buried in [the part of Jerusalem called] ‘The City of David’. Then Jehoram’s son Ahaziah became the king.
Ary Jehorama lasa nodimandry any amin’ ny razany, dia nalevina tao amin’ ny razany tao an-tanànan’ i Davida; ary Ahazia zanany no nanjaka nandimby azy.
25 After Ahab’s son Joram has been ruling in Israel for almost twelve years, Jehoram’s son Ahaziah became the king of Judah.
Ary tamin’ ny taona faharoa ambin’ ny folo nanjakan’ i Jorama, zanak’ i Ahaba, mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely, no vao nanjakan’ i Ahazia, zanak’ i Jehorama, mpanjakan’ ny Joda,
26 Ahaziah was twenty-two years old when he started to rule. He ruled in Jerusalem for [only] one year. His mother’s name was Athaliah, [the daughter of King Ahab and] the granddaughter of King Omri of Israel.
Roa amby roa-polo taona Ahazia, fony izy vao nanjaka, ary herintaona no nanjakany tany Jerosalema. Ary ny anaran-dreniny dia Atalia, zanakavavin’ i Omry, mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely.
27 King Ahab conducted his life just like the members of Ahab’s family had done. He did things that Yahweh considered to be very evil.
Ary nandeha tamin’ ny lalan’ ny taranak’ i Ahaba izy, ka nanao izay ratsy eo imason’ i Jehovah tahaka ny nataon’ ny taranak’ i Ahaba, fa vinanton’ ny taranak’ i Ahaba ihany izy.
28 Ahaziah’s army joined the army of King Joram of Israel to fight against the army of King Hazael of Syria. Their armies started fighting at Ramoth [city] in [the] Gilead [region], and the soldiers of Syria wounded Joram.
Ary niaraka tamin’ i Jorama, zanak’ i Ahaba, izy mba hiady amin’ i Hazaela, mpanjakan’ i Syria, tany Ramota-gileada; ary ny Syriana nahavoa an’ i Jorama.
29 King Joram returned to Jezreel [city] to recover from his wounds. King Ahaziah went to visit him there.
Dia niverina Jorama mpanjaka mba hotsaboina tao Jezirela amin’ ny feriny tamin’ ny nahavoazan’ ny Syriana azy tao Rama, fony izy niady tamin’ i Hazaela, mpanjakan’ i Syria. Ary Ahazia, zanak’ i Jehorama, mpanjakan’ ny Joda, nidina hamangy an’ i Jorama, zanak’ i Ahaba, teo Jezirela, satria narary izy.
