2 Kings 3
1 And Jehoram son of Ahab hath reigned over Israel, in Samaria, in the eighteenth year of Jehoshaphat king of Judah, and he reigneth twelve years,
Na rĩrĩ, Joramu mũrũ wa Ahabu agĩtuĩka mũthamaki wa Isiraeli kũu Samaria mwaka-inĩ wa ikũmi na ĩnana wa Jehoshafatu, mũthamaki wa Juda, nake agĩathana mĩaka ikũmi na ĩĩrĩ.
2 and doth the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah, only not like his father, and like his mother, and he turneth aside the standing-pillar of Baal that his father made;
Nake agĩĩka maũndũ mooru maitho-inĩ ma Jehova, no ti ta ũrĩa ithe na nyina meekĩte. We nĩeheririe ihiga rĩrĩa rĩamũrĩirwo Baali rĩrĩa rĩakĩtwo nĩ ithe.
3 only to the sins of Jeroboam son of Nebat that he caused Israel to sin he hath cleaved, he hath not turned aside from it.
No rĩrĩ, nĩarũmĩrĩire mehia ma Jeroboamu mũrũ wa Nebati, marĩa eehirie na agĩtũma andũ a Isiraeli o nao meehie, na ndaigana kũmatiga.
4 And Mesha king of Moab was a sheep-master, and he rendered to the king of Israel a hundred thousand lambs, and a hundred thousand rams, [with] wool,
Na rĩrĩ, Mesha mũthamaki wa Moabi nĩarĩithagia ngʼondu na nĩarĩ atwaragĩre mũthamaki wa Isiraeli tũtũrũme 100,000 na guoya wa ndũrũme 100,000.
5 and it cometh to pass at the death of Ahab, that the king of Moab transgresseth against the king of Israel.
No rĩrĩa Ahabu aakuire, mũthamaki wa Moabi akĩremera mũthamaki wa Isiraeli.
6 And king Jehoram goeth out in that day from Samaria, and inspecteth all Israel,
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio ihinda rĩu Mũthamaki Joramu, akiuma Samaria na agĩcookanĩrĩria andũ a Isiraeli othe.
7 and goeth and sendeth unto Jehoshaphat king of Judah, saying, 'The king of Moab hath transgressed against me; dost thou go with me unto Moab for battle?' and he saith, 'I go up, as I, so thou; as my people, so thy people; as my horses, so thy horses.
Ningĩ agĩtũmĩra Jehoshafatu mũthamaki wa Juda ndũmĩrĩri ĩno: “Mũthamaki wa Moabi nĩanjũkĩrĩire akanemera. Nĩũgũthiĩ na niĩ tũkahũũrane na Moabi?” Nake akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Ĩĩ, nĩngũthiĩ nawe, niĩ nawe tũrĩ ũndũ ũmwe, andũ akwa no ta andũ aku, na mbarathi ciakwa no ta mbarathi ciaku.”
8 And he saith, 'Where [is] this — the way we go up?' and he saith, 'The way of the wilderness of Edom.'
Jehoshafatu akĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Tũkũgera njĩra ĩrĩkũ tũkamatharĩkĩre?” Joramu akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Tũkũgera njĩra ya werũ-inĩ wa Edomu.”
9 And the king of Israel goeth, and the king of Judah, and the king of Edom, and they turn round the way seven days, and there hath been no water for the camp, and for the cattle that [are] at their feet,
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio mũthamaki wa Isiraeli akiumagara, marĩ na mũthamaki wa Juda, na wa Edomu. Thuutha wa gũthiũrũrũka mĩthenya mũgwanja-rĩ, thigari itiarĩ na maaĩ ma kũnyua kana maaĩ ma nyamũ iria maarĩ nacio.
10 and the king of Israel saith, 'Alas, for Jehovah hath called for these three kings, to give them into the hand of Moab.'
Mũthamaki wa Isiraeli akĩũria atĩrĩ, “Ũũ nĩatĩa! Kaĩ Jehova atwĩtĩte tũrĩ athamaki atatũ hamwe nĩgeetha atũneane kũrĩ Moabi?”
11 And Jehoshaphat saith, 'Is there not here a prophet of Jehovah, and we seek Jehovah by him?' And one of the servants of the king of Israel answereth and saith, 'Here [is] Elisha son of Shaphat, who poured water on the hands of Elijah.'
Nowe Jehoshafatu akĩũria atĩrĩ, “Kaĩ gũkũ gũtarĩ mũnabii wa Jehova ũrĩa ũngĩtũtuĩrĩria ũhoro harĩ Jehova?” Nake mũtongoria ũmwe wa mũthamaki wa Isiraeli agĩcookia atĩrĩ, “Elisha mũrũ wa Shafatu arĩ gũkũ. Nĩwe waitagĩrĩria Elija maaĩ moko.”
12 And Jehoshaphat saith, 'The word of Jehovah is with him;' and go down unto him do the king of Israel, and Jehoshaphat, and the king of Edom.
Jehoshafatu akiuga atĩrĩ, “Kiugo kĩa Jehova kĩrĩ hamwe nake.” Nĩ ũndũ ũcio mũthamaki wa Isiraeli marĩ na Jehoshafatu na mũthamaki wa Edomu magĩikũrũka kũrĩ Elisha.
13 And Elisha saith unto the king of Israel, 'What — to me and to thee? go unto the prophets of thy father, and unto the prophets of thy mother;' and the king of Israel saith to him, 'Nay, for Jehovah hath called for these three kings to give them into the hand of Moab.'
Elisha akĩĩra mũthamaki wa Isiraeli atĩrĩ, “Ndĩ na ũhoro ũrĩkũ nawe? Thiĩ kũrĩ anabii a thoguo na anabii a nyũkwa.” Nake mũthamaki wa Isiraeli akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Aca, tũtingĩthiĩ nĩ ũndũ nĩ Jehova ũtwĩtĩte ithuĩ athamaki atatũ nĩguo atũneane kũrĩ Moabi.”
14 And Elisha saith, 'Jehovah of Hosts liveth, before whom I have stood; for unless the face of Jehoshaphat king of Judah I am lifting up, I do not look unto thee, nor see thee;
Elisha akiuga atĩrĩ, “Ti-itherũ o ta ũrĩa Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe atũũraga muoyo, ũrĩa niĩ ndungatagĩra, tiga nĩ ũndũ wa gũconokera Jehoshafatu mũthamaki wa Juda-rĩ, niĩ ndingĩakwĩhũgũrĩra o na kana nyone ta wĩ ho.
15 and now, bring to me a minstrel; and it hath been, at the playing of the minstrel, that the hand of Jehovah is on him,
No rĩrĩ, ndeherai mũhũũri wa kĩnanda kĩa mũgeeto.” O rĩrĩa mũhũũri wa kĩnanda aahũraga-rĩ, guoko kwa Jehova gũkĩgĩa igũrũ rĩa Elisha
16 and he saith, 'Thus said Jehovah, Make this valley ditches — ditches;
nake akiuga atĩrĩ, “Ũũ nĩguo Jehova ekuuga: Enjai mĩtaro ĩiyũre gĩtuamba gĩkĩ.
17 for thus said Jehovah, Ye do not see wind, nor do ye see rain, and that valley is full of water, and ye have drunk — ye, and your cattle, and your beasts.
Nĩgũkorwo Jehova ekuuga ũũ: Mũtikuona rũhuho kana mbura, no rĩrĩ, gĩtuamba gĩkĩ nĩgĩkũiyũra maaĩ, na inyuĩ, na ngʼombe cianyu na nyamũ icio ingĩ cianyu mũmanyue.
18 'And this hath been light in the eyes of Jehovah, and he hath given Moab into your hand,
Ũndũ ũyũ nĩ mũhũthũ maitho-inĩ ma Jehova; na ningĩ nĩekũneana Moabi moko-inĩ manyu.
19 and ye have smitten every fenced city, and every choice city, and every good tree ye cause to fall, and all fountains of waters ye stop, and every good portion ye mar with stones.'
Nĩmũkangʼaũrania itũũra rĩothe rĩirigĩirwo na rũthingo rwa hinya, na itũũra rĩothe inene. Nĩmũgatema mũtĩ wothe mwega, na mũthike ithima ciothe, na mũthũkangie mĩgũnda yothe mĩega na mahiga.”
20 And it cometh to pass in the morning, at the ascending of the [morning] -present, that lo, waters are coming in from the way of Edom, and the land is filled with the waters,
Rũciinĩ rũrũ rũngĩ, ta ihinda rĩrĩa rĩrutagwo igongona, maaĩ magĩtherera kuuma mwena wa Edomu! Naguo bũrũri ũcio ũkĩiyũra maaĩ.
21 and all Moab have heard that the kings have come up to fight against them, and they are called together, from every one girding on a girdle and upward, and they stand by the border.
Na rĩrĩ, andũ a Moabi othe nĩmaiguĩte atĩ athamaki acio nĩmokĩte kũrũa nao; nĩ ũndũ ũcio mũndũ mũrũme wothe, mwĩthĩ na mũkũrũ, ũrĩa ũngĩahotire gũkuua indo cia mbaara, agĩĩtwo na makĩigwo mũhaka-inĩ.
22 And they rise early in the morning, and the sun hath shone on the waters, and the Moabites see, from over-against, the waters red as blood,
Rĩrĩa mookĩrire rũciinĩ tene-rĩ, riũa nĩrĩarĩte maaĩ-inĩ macio igũrũ. Andũ a Moabi marĩ mũrĩmo ũrĩa ũngĩ makĩona maaĩ maarĩ matune ta thakame.
23 and say, 'Blood this [is]; the kings have been surely destroyed, and they smite each his neighbour; and now for spoil, Moab!'
Nao makĩĩrana atĩrĩ, “Ĩĩrĩa nĩ thakame! Athamaki acio no nginya makorwo nĩmarũĩte na makooragana o ene. Andũ a Moabi, nĩtũthiĩi tũgatahe indo!”
24 And they come in unto the camp of Israel, and the Israelites rise, and smite the Moabites, and they flee from their face; and they enter into Moab, so as to smite Moab,
No rĩrĩa andũ a Moabi mookire kũu kambĩ-inĩ cia Isiraeli-rĩ, Isiraeli makĩarahũka na makĩhũũrana nao o nginya andũ a Moabi makĩũra. Nao andũ a Isiraeli magĩtharĩkĩra bũrũri ũcio na makĩũraga andũ a Moabi.
25 and the cities they break down, and [on] every good portion they cast each his stone, and have filled it, and every fountain of water they stop, and every good tree they cause to fall — till one had left its stones in Kir-Haraseth, and the slingers go round and smite it.
Nao makĩananga matũũra, na o mũndũ agĩikia ihiga mũgũnda-inĩ wothe ũrĩa warĩ mwega, o nginya ĩkĩiyũra mahiga. Ningĩ magĩthika ithima ciothe, na magĩtema mũtĩ o wothe mwega. Itũũra rĩa Kiriharesethu no rĩo rĩatigarire rĩtarĩ imomore mahiga, no arũme maarĩ na igũtha o narĩo makĩrĩrigiicĩria, makĩrĩtharĩkĩra.
26 And the king of Moab seeth that the battle has been too strong for him, and he taketh with him seven hundred men, drawing sword, to cleave through unto the king of Edom, and they have not been able,
Rĩrĩa mũthamaki wa Moabi onire atĩ mbaara nĩyamũhatĩrĩria-rĩ, agĩthiĩ na andũ magana mũgwanja marĩ na hiũ cia njora makarũe na mũthamaki wa Edomu, no matiahotire.
27 and he taketh his son, the first-born who reigneth in his stead, and causeth him to ascend — a burnt-offering on the wall, and there is great wrath against Israel, and they journey from off him, and turn back to the land.
Hĩndĩ ĩyo akĩoya mũriũ wake wa irigithathi, o we ũrĩa ũngĩathamakire ithenya rĩake, akĩmũruta arĩ igongona igũrũ rĩa rũthingo rwa itũũra rĩu inene. Nao andũ a Isiraeli makĩrakara mũno; makĩmweherera, magĩcooka bũrũri wao.
