2 Kings 1
1 After King Ahab died, [the country of] Moab rebelled against Israel.
Ie nihomake t’i Akabe, le niola am’ Israele t’i Moabe.
2 One day, Ahaziah, [the new king of Israel, ] fell through the wooden slats/boards around the edge of the flat roof [of his palace] in Samaria. He was badly injured, so he summoned some messengers and told them, “Go to Ekron [city in Philistia], and ask their god Baalzebub whether I will (recover/become well).”
Nitsirikoake boak’ amy tsingarakara’ i efe’e ambone eo e Someroney t’i Ahkazià le nisiloke vaho nampañitrife’e ty ìrake, ami’ty hoe: Akia. añontaneo amy Baalezebobe, ‘ndrahare’ i Ekrone, ke hiambeñe iraho amo areteko zao.
3 But an angel from Yahweh said to Elijah, the prophet from Tishbe [town], “The king of Samaria [is sending] some messengers [to Ekron]. Go and meet them and say to them, ‘Is it because there is no God in Israel that you are going to Ekron to ask Baalzebub, the god of those people, [whether you will recover]?
Fe hoe ty tsara’ i anjeli’ Iehovà amy Elià nte-Tisbý: Miongaha, akia mifanalakà amo ìra’ i mpanjaka’ i Someroneio, le ano ty hoe: Aa vaho tsy aman’ Añahare hao t’Israele, t’ie homb’ amy Baalezebobe ‘ndrahare’ i Ekrone hañontane aze?
4 Yahweh says [that you should tell King Ahaziah] that he will not recover from his being injured; he will surely die.’”
Aa le hoe ty nafè’ Iehovà: Tsy hizotso amy fandreañe nijoña’oy irehe, fa toe hivetrake. Le nienga t’i Elià.
5 [So Elijah went to meet] the messengers [and told that to them, and they] returned to the king [instead of going to Ekron]. The king asked them, “Why did you return [so soon]?”
Nimpoly ama’e o ìra’eo, le hoe re ama’e: Ino ty nimpolia’ areo?
6 They replied, “A man came to meet us, and said to us, ‘Return to the king who sent you and tell him that Yahweh says, “(Is it because there no God in Israel that you are sending [messengers] to Ekron to consult Baalzebub, their god?/You seem to think there is no God in Israel, with the result that you are sending [messengers] to Ekron to ask Baalzebub, their god, [whether you will recover].) [RHQ] [Go tell the king that] he will not recover from being injured; instead, he will surely die.”’”
Le nanoa’ iareo ty hoe: Nifanampe ama’ay t’indaty nanao ty hoe: Akia mimpolia mb’ amy mpanjaka nañirak’ anahareoy, vaho isaontsio ty hoe: Hoe ty nafè’ Iehovà: Aa vaho tsy aman’ Añahare hao t’Israele te ihe mañitrike hañontane e Baalezebobe ‘ndrahare’ i Ekrone? Aa le tsy hizotsoa’o i fandreañe nijoña’o, fa toe hihomake.
7 The king said to them, “The man who came to meet you and told that to you, what did he look like?”
Le hoe re am’ iereo: T’indaty manao akore ty nifanalaka ama’ areo, nisaontsy i entañe zay ama’ areo?
8 They replied, “He was a hairy man and he had a [wide] leather belt around his waist.” The king exclaimed, “That was Elijah!”
Le hoe ty natoi’ iareo: Ondaty volovoloeñe, midian-kolitse an-toha’e. Le hoe re: I Elià nte-Tisbý izay.
9 Then the king sent an officer with 50 soldiers to seize Elijah. They found Elijah sitting on the top of a hill. The officer called out to him, “Prophet, the king commands that you come down here!”
Aa le nañirake ty mpifehe-limampolo rekets’ i limampolo’ey i mpanjakay. Niañambone mb’ama’e mb’eo iereo, le ingo ie niambesatse an-dengom-bohitse ey. Le hoe re ama’e: O ondatin’ Añahareo, hoe ty enta’ i mpanjakay: Mizotsoa.
10 But Elijah replied, “I am a prophet; so, I command that fire come down from the sky and burn up you and your 50 soldiers!” Immediately, fire came down from the sky and completely burned up the officer and his 50 [soldiers].
Le hoe ty natoi’ i Elià i mpifehe limampoloy: Naho toe ondatin’ Añahare iraho le ee te hizotso boak’ andikerañe ey ty afo hamorototo azo naho o limampolo’oo, Aa le nikodoiñe boak’ andikerañe añe ty afo namorototo aze rekets’ i limampolo rey.
11 [When the king found out about that, ] he sent another officer with 50 more soldiers. They went [to where Elijah was], and the officer called out to him, “Prophet, the king commands that you come down immediately!”
Nañirake mpifehe limampolo indraike re rekets’ i limampolo’ey. Le nisaontsia’e ty hoe: Ry ‘ndatin’ Añahareo, hoe i mpanjakay: Mizotsoa ami’ty manao zao.
12 But Elijah replied, “I am a prophet; [to prove that, ] I command that fire come down from the sky and kill you and your soldiers!” Then a fire from God came down from the sky and killed the officer and his soldiers.
Le hoe ty natoi’ i Elià: Naho toe ‘ndatin’ Añahare iraho, le ee te hizotso boak’ an-dikerañe ey ty afo hamorototo azo naho o limampolo’oo. Le nizotso boak’ aman’ Añahare an-dikerañe añe ty afo namorototo aze rekets’ i limampolo’ey.
13 [When the king heard about that] he sent another officer with 50 more soldiers. [They went to where Elijah was], and the officer prostrated himself in front of Elijah, and said to him, “Prophet, I plead with you, be kind to me and my 50 soldiers, and (do not kill us/allow us to remain alive)!
Nañirake indraike re, le ty mpifehe limampolo fahatelo reketse ty limam-polo’e. Nitroatse mb’eo i mpifehe limampoloy, le nitongalek’ añatrefa’ i Elià eo vaho nihalalia’e ami’ty hoe: Ry ondatin’ Añahare, miambane ama’o, ehe te ho vara am-pahaisaha’o ty fiaiko naho ty fiai’ o mpitoro’o limampolo retoañe.
14 [We know that] two times fire came down from the sky and killed officers and the 50 soldiers who were with them. So now, please be kind to me!”
Toe nihotrake boak’ andikerañe ey ty afo namorototo i mpifehe limampolo taolo rey rekets’ i limampolo’ iareoy; fe ee te ho sarotse ampahaoniña’o henaneo ty fiaiko.
15 Then the angel from Yahweh said to Elijah, “Go down [and go] with him. Do not be afraid of him.” So Elijah went with them to the king.
Le hoe ty tsara’ i anjeli’ Iehovày amy Elià: Mindreza fizotso ama’e, ko hembañe. Le niongake re nizotso mindre ama’e mb’ amy mpanjakay mb’eo.
16 [When Elijah arrived, ] he said to the king, “This is what Yahweh says: ‘You sent messengers to go to Ekron to ask Baalzebub, their god, [whether you would recover]. You acted as though [RHQ] there is no God in Israel to consult. So you will not recover from being injured; instead, you are going to die!’”
Le hoe re tama’e: Hoe ty nafè’ Iehovà: Ie nañitrik’ ìrake hañontane i Baalezebobe, ‘ndrahare’ i Ekrone; tsy aman’Añahare hao t’Israele hañontanea’o i tsara’ey? Toly ndra tsy hizotsoa’o o fandreañe nijoña’oo fa toe hivetrake.
17 So Ahaziah died, which is what Yahweh told Elijah would happen. Ahaziah’s [younger] brother Joram became the new king, when Jehoram, the son of Jehoshaphat, had been ruling Judah for almost two years. Ahaziah’s brother became the king because Ahaziah had no son [to become the king].
Aa le nihomake re ty amy tsara’ Iehovà nisaontsie’ i Eliày. Le niorotse nandimbe aze nifehe t’Iehorame amy taom-paharoe’ Iehorame ana’ Iehosafate mpanjaka’ Iehoday; amy t’ie tsy nanañ’ ana-dahy.
18 [If you want to know about] all the other things that Ahaziah did, they are [RHQ] written in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Israel’.
Le o fitoloñañe ila’e nanoe’ i Ahkaziào, tsy fa sinokitse amy bokem-pamoliliañe o mpanjaka’ Israeleoy hao?
