< 1 Kings 20 >
1 And Ben-Hadad king of Aram hath gathered all his force, and thirty and two kings [are] with him, and horse and chariot, and he goeth up and layeth siege against Samaria, and fighteth with 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 sendeth messengers unto Ahab king of Israel, to the city,
Ary nandefa iraka ho any amin’ i Ahaba, mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely, tany an-tanàna izy
3 and saith to him, 'Thus said Ben-Hadad, 'Thy silver and thy gold are mine, and thy wives and thy sons — the best — 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 And the king of Israel answereth and saith, 'According to thy word, my lord, O king: I [am] thine, 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 turn back and say, 'Thus spake Ben-Hadad, saying, Surely I sent unto thee, saying, Thy silver, and thy gold, and thy wives, and thy sons, to me thou dost 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 for if, at this time to-morrow, I send my servants unto thee then they have searched thy house, and the houses of thy servants, and it hath been, every desirable thing of thine eyes they place in their hand, and have taken 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 And the king of Israel calleth to all the elders of the land, and saith, 'Know, I pray you, and see that evil this [one] is seeking, for he sent unto me for my wives, and for my sons, and for my silver, and for my gold, and I withheld not from him.'
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 say unto him, 'Do not hearken, nor consent.'
Ary hoy ny loholona sy ny vahoaka rehetra taminy: Aza mihaino na manaiky.
9 And he saith to the messengers of Ben-Hadad, 'Say to my lord the king, All that thou didst send for unto thy servant at the first I do, and this thing I am not able to do;' and the messengers go and take 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 And Ben-Hadad sendeth unto him, and saith, 'Thus do the gods to me, and thus do they add, if the dust of Samaria suffice for 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 answereth and saith, 'Speak ye: let not him who is girding on boast himself as him who is loosing [his armour].'
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 cometh to pass at the hearing of this word — and he is drinking, he and the kings, in the booths — that he saith unto his servants, 'Set yourselves;' and they set themselves 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 hath come nigh unto Ahab king of Israel, and saith, 'Thus said Jehovah, 'Hast thou seen all this great multitude? lo, I am giving it into thy hand to-day, and thou hast known that I [am] Jehovah.'
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 saith, 'By whom?' and he saith, 'Thus said Jehovah, By the young men of the heads of the provinces;' and he saith, 'Who doth direct the battle?' and he saith, '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 And he inspecteth the young men of the heads of the provinces, and they are two hundred, two and thirty, and after them he hath inspecteth the whole of 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 go out at noon, and Ben-Hadad is drinking — drunk in the booths, he and the kings, the thirty and 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 And the young men of the heads of the provinces go out at the first, and Ben-Hadad sendeth, and they declare to him, saying, 'Men have come 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 saith, 'If for peace they have come out — catch them alive; and if for battle they have come out — alive catch them.'
Ary hoy izy: Ataovy sambo-belona izy, na ho avy hihavana, na ho avy hiady.
19 And these have gone out of the city — the young men of the heads of the provinces — and the force that [is] after them,
Dia nivoaka avy tao an-tanàna ireo zatovon’ ny komandin’ ny fanapahana isan-totony ireo sy ny miaramila izay nanaraka azy.
20 and smite each his man, and Aram fleeth, and Israel pursueth them, and Ben-Hadad king of Aram escapeth on a horse, and the 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 goeth out, and smiteth the horses, and the charioteers, and hath smitten among the Aramaeans 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 And the prophet cometh nigh unto the king of Israel, and saith to him, 'Go, strengthen thyself, and know and see that which thou dost, for at the turn of the year the king of Aram is 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 Aram said unto him, 'Gods of hills [are] their gods, therefore they were stronger than we; and yet, we fight with them in the plain — are we not stronger than they?
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 'And this thing do thou: turn aside the kings each out of his place, and set captains 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, number to thee a force as the force that is fallen from thee, and horse for horse, and chariot for chariot, and we fight with them in the plain; are we not stronger than they?' and he hearkeneth to their voice, and doth 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 it cometh to pass at the turn of the year, that Ben-Hadad inspecteth the Aramaeans, and goeth up to Aphek, to battle 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 have been inspected, and supported, and go to meet them, and the sons of Israel encamp before them, like two flocks of goats, and the Aramaeans have 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 And there cometh nigh a man of God, and speaketh unto the king of Israel, and saith, 'Thus said Jehovah, Because that the Aramaeans have said, God of hills [is] Jehovah, and He [is] not God of valleys — I have given the whole of this great multitude into thy hand, and ye have known that I [am] Jehovah.'
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 And they encamp one over-against another seven days, and it cometh to pass on the seventh day, that the battle draweth near, and the sons of Israel smite Aram — 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 those left flee to Aphek, unto the city, and the wall falleth on twenty and seven chief men who are left, and Ben-Hadad hath fled, and cometh in unto the city, into the innermost part.
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 say unto him, 'Lo, we pray thee, we have heard that the kings of the house of Israel — that they are kind kings; let us put, we pray thee, sackcloth on our loins, and ropes on our heads, and we go out unto the king of Israel; it may be he doth keep thee alive.'
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 And they gird sackcloth on their loins, and ropes [are] on their heads, and they come in unto the king of Israel, and say, 'Thy servant Ben-Hadad hath said, Let me live, I pray thee;' and he saith, 'Is he yet alive? he [is] my brother.'
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 And the men observe diligently, and hasten, and catch it from him, and say, 'Thy brother Ben-Hadad;' and he saith, 'Go ye in, bring him;' and Ben-Hadad cometh out unto him, and he causeth him to come up on the 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 saith unto him, 'The cities that my father took from thy father, I give back, and streets thou dost make for thee in Damascus, as my father did in Samaria;' — 'and I, with a covenant, send thee away;' and he maketh with him a covenant, and sendeth him away.
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 Jehovah, 'Smite me, I pray thee;' and the man refuseth 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 and he saith to him, 'Because that thou hast not hearkened to the voice of Jehovah, lo, thou art going from me, and the lion hath smitten thee;' and he goeth from him, and the lion findeth him, and smiteth 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 And he findeth another man, and saith, 'Smite me, I pray thee;' and the man smiteth him, 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 and the prophet goeth and standeth for the king on the way, and disguiseth himself with ashes on his eyes.
Dia lasa ilay mpaminany ka niandry ny mpanjaka teny an-dalana, ary nasiany fehiloha tamin’ ny handriny tsy hahafantarany azy.
39 And it cometh to pass — the king is passing by — that he hath cried unto the king, and saith, 'Thy servant went out into the midst of the battle, and lo, a man hath turned aside and bringeth in unto me a man, and saith, Keep this man; if he be at all missing, then hath thy life been for his life, or a talent of silver thou dost 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 it cometh to pass, thy servant is working hither and thither, and he is not!' and the king of Israel saith unto him, Right [is] thy judgment; thou hast determined [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 And he hasteth and turneth aside the ashes from off his eyes, and the king of Israel discerneth him, that he [is] of the prophets,
Ary nesoriny haingana ilay fehi-loha tamin’ ny handriny; ka dia fantatry ny mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely fa isan’ ny mpaminany izy.
42 and he saith unto him, 'Thus said Jehovah, Because thou hast sent away the man I devoted, out of [thy] hand, even thy life hath been for his life, and thy people for 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 goeth unto his house, sulky and wroth, and cometh in to Samaria.
Ary ny mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely nandeha ho any an-tranony sady nalahelo no sosotra, dia tonga tany Samaria.
