And Ben Hadad [the] king of Aram he gathered all army his and thirty and two king[s] [were] with him and horse[s] and chariotry and he went up and he laid siege on Samaria and he fought against it.
2 Agĩtũma andũ mathiĩ itũũra rĩu inene kũrĩ Ahabu mũthamaki wa Isiraeli, makamwĩre atĩrĩ, “Beni-Hadadi ekuuga ũũ:
And he sent messengers to Ahab [the] king of Israel the city towards. And he said to him thus he says Ben Hadad
3 ‘Betha na thahabu ciaku nĩ ciakwa, nao atumia aku na ciana ciaku, arĩa ega mũno, nĩ akwa.’”
silver your and gold your [belongs] to me it and wives your and children your good [belong] to me they.
4 Nake mũthamaki wa Isiraeli akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “O ũguo uugĩte, wee mũthamaki mwathi wakwa-rĩ, niĩ mwene ndĩ waku, na kĩrĩa gĩothe ndĩ nakĩo nĩ gĩaku.”
And he answered [the] king of Israel and he said according to word your O lord my the king [belong] to you I and all that [belongs] to me.
5 Nao andũ acio maatũmĩtwo magĩcooka rĩngĩ makiuga atĩrĩ, “Beni-Hadadi ekuuga ũũ: ‘Ndaatũmanire ngĩenda betha ciaku, na thahabu, na atumia aku, o na ciana ciaku.
And they returned the messengers and they said thus he says Ben Hadad saying that I sent to you saying silver your and gold your and wives your and children your to me you will give.
6 No ihinda ta rĩĩrĩ rũciũ nĩngatũma anene akwa moke moiruurie nyũmba ya ũthamaki na nyũmba cia anene aku. Nĩmagataha indo ciothe iria cia bata, macikuue.’”
That - except about this time tomorrow I will send servants my to you and they will search house your and [the] houses of servants your and it will be every desirable thing of eyes your they will put in hand their and they will take [it].
7 Mũthamaki wa Isiraeli agĩĩta athuuri othe a bũrũri ũcio, akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Githĩ mũtirona atĩ mũndũ ũyũ nĩ haaro aracaria! Rĩrĩa aatũmanire agĩĩtia atumia akwa na ciana ciakwa, na betha na thahabu ciakwa-rĩ, niĩ ndiamũgiririe.”
And he summoned [the] king of Israel all [the] elders of the land and he said know please and see that trouble this [man] [is] seeking for he sent to me for wives my and for children my and for silver my and for gold my and not I withheld [them] from him.
8 Athuuri na andũ othe makĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Tiga kũmũthikĩrĩria, na ndũgetĩkĩre maũndũ macio mothe arenda.”
And they said to him all the elders and all the people may not you listen and not you must be willing.
9 Nake agĩcookeria andũ acio maatũmĩtwo nĩ Beni-Hadadi, akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Ĩrai mũthamaki, mwathi wakwa atĩrĩ, ndungata yaku nĩĩgwĩka maũndũ marĩa woririe rĩa mbere, no ũndũ ũyũ ũrenda rĩu ndingĩwĩĩtĩkĩra.” Magĩthiĩ magĩcookeria Beni-Hadadi ũhoro ũcio.
And he said to [the] messengers of Ben Hadad say to lord my the king all that you sent to servant your at the first I will do and the thing this not I am able to do and they went the messengers and they brought back him word.
10 Ningĩ Beni-Hadadi agĩtũma ũhoro rĩngĩ kũrĩ Ahabu, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Ngai iroothũũra na ikĩrĩrĩrie gũthũũra, kũngĩtigara rũkũngũ Samaria rũiganu rwa kũhe andũ akwa o mũndũ ngundi ĩmwe.”
And he sent to him Ben Hadad and he said thus may they do! to me [the] gods and thus may they add if it will suffice [the] dust of Samaria for handfuls for all the people which [is] at feet my.
11 Mũthamaki wa Isiraeli agĩcookia atĩrĩ, “Mwĩrei ũũ: ‘Mũndũ ũrĩa ũreyooha indo cia mbaara ndaagĩrĩirwo nĩ gwĩtĩĩa ta mũndũ ũrĩa ũraciruta.’”
And he answered [the] king of Israel and he said speak may not he boast [one who] girds on like [one who] loosens.
12 Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa Beni-Hadadi aiguire ũhoro ũcio rĩrĩa we na athamaki acio manyuuaga me hema-inĩ ciao, agĩatha andũ ake akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Mwĩhaarĩriei gũtharĩkĩra Samaria.” Nĩ ũndũ ũcio makĩĩhaarĩria gũtharĩkĩra itũũra rĩu inene.
And it was when heard the word this and he [was] drinking he and the kings in the booths and he said to servants his set yourselves and they set themselves on the city.
13 Ihinda rĩu mũnabii agĩũka kũrĩ Ahabu mũthamaki wa Isiraeli, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Jehova ekuuga ũũ: ‘Nĩũrona ita rĩĩrĩ inene ũũ? Nĩngũrĩneana moko-inĩ maku ũmũthĩ, nĩgeetha ũmenye atĩ niĩ nĩ niĩ Jehova.’”
And there! - a prophet one he drew near to Ahab [the] king of Israel and he said thus he says Yahweh ¿ do you see all the multitude great this here I [am] about to give it in hand your this day and you will know that I [am] Yahweh.
14 Nake Ahabu akĩũria atĩrĩ, “No nũũ ũgwĩka ũguo?” Nake mũnabii ũcio akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Jehova ekuuga ũũ: Anene ethĩ arĩa matongoragia mbũtũ cia bũrũri nĩo megwĩka ũguo.” Ningĩ akĩũria atĩrĩ, “Na nũũ ũkaambĩrĩria mbaara?” Nake mũnabii akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Nĩwe ũkaamĩambĩrĩria.”
And he said Ahab by whom? and he said thus he says Yahweh by [the] young men of [the] officials of the provinces and he said who? will he begin the battle and he said you.
15 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Ahabu agĩĩta anene arĩa ethĩ 232 arĩa maatongoragia mbũtũ cia bũrũri. Ningĩ agĩcookanĩrĩria andũ acio angĩ a andũ a Isiraeli othe maarĩ 7,000.
And he mustered [the] young men of [the] officials of the provinces and they were two hundred two and thirty and after them he mustered all the people all [the] people of Israel [were] seven thousand.
16 Nao makiumagara mĩaraho hĩndĩ ĩrĩa Beni-Hadadi na athamaki acio mĩrongo ĩtatũ na eerĩ arĩa maarĩ rũmwe nake, maanyuuaga njoohi marĩ hema-inĩ ciao.
And they went out at the noontide and Ben Hadad [was] drinking drunken in the booths he and the kings thirty and two king[s] [who] was helping him.
17 Anene acio ethĩ maatongoragia mbũtũ cia bũrũri nĩo maathiire mbere. Hĩndĩ ĩyo Beni-Hadadi nĩatũmĩte andũ a gũthigaana, nao makĩmũrehere ũhoro atĩrĩ, “Nĩ kũrĩ na andũ marooka moimĩte Samaria.”
And they went out [the] young men of [the] officials of the provinces at the first and he sent Ben Hadad and people told to him saying men they have come out from Samaria.
18 Nake akiuga atĩrĩ, “Angĩkorwo mokĩte na thayũ-rĩ, manyiitei marĩ muoyo; angĩkorwo nĩ mbaara ya marehe-rĩ, manyiitei marĩ muoyo.”
And he said if for peace they have come out seize them alive and if for battle they have come out alive seize them.
19 Anene acio ethĩ atongoria a mbũtũ cia bũrũri makiumagara kuuma itũũra-inĩ marũmĩrĩirwo nĩ mbũtũ ya ita,
And these [men] they went out from the city [the] young men of [the] officials of the provinces and the army which [was] behind them.
20 na o mũndũ akĩũraga thũ yake. Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Asuriata makĩũra maingatithĩtio nĩ andũ a Isiraeli. No Beni-Hadadi mũthamaki wa Suriata akĩũra ahaicĩte mbarathi me na andũ amwe ake arĩa ahaici a mbarathi.
And they struck down everyone man his and they fled Aram and it pursued them Israel and he escaped Ben Hadad [the] king of Aram on a horse and horsemen.
21 Mũthamaki wa Isiraeli akĩmatindĩka na agĩtooria mbarathi na ngaari cia ita, akĩũraga Asuriata aingĩ mũno.
And he went out [the] king of Israel and he struck down the horse[s] and the chariotry and he struck down among Aram a slaughter great.
22 Thuutha ũcio mũnabii agĩkora mũthamaki wa Isiraeli, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Wĩhaarĩrie wega, na wone ũrĩa kwagĩrĩire nĩ gwĩkwo, tondũ kĩmera kĩrĩa gĩgũũka mũthamaki wa Suriata nĩagagũtharĩkĩra rĩngĩ.”
And he drew near the prophet to [the] king of Israel and he said to him go strengthen yourself and know and see [that] which you will do for to [the] return of the year [the] king of Aram [is] coming up on you.
23 Ihinda-inĩ rĩu anene a mũthamaki wa Suriata makĩmũtaara atĩrĩ, “Ngai cia andũ a Isiraeli nĩ ngai cia irĩma-inĩ. Kĩu nĩkĩo gĩatũmire matũkĩrie hinya. No tũngĩhũũrana nao werũ-inĩ, ti-itherũ nĩtũkamakĩria hinya.
And [the] servants of [the] king of Aram they said to him [is] a god of mountains God their there-fore they were strong more than us and but let us do battle with them on the level ground if not we will be strong more than them.
24 Ĩka atĩrĩ: Eheria athamaki othe kuuma mbũtũ-inĩ ciao, na ũmakũũranie na anene angĩ.
And the thing this do remove the kings each from place his and appoint governors in place of them.
25 No nginya warahũre ita ta rĩrĩa wateire, mbarathi o harĩ mbarathi, na ngaari ya ita harĩ o ngaari ya ita, nĩgeetha tũhote kũrũa na Isiraeli werũ-inĩ. Ti-itherũ hĩndĩ ĩyo nĩ tũgaakorwo tũrĩ na hinya kũmakĩra.” Mũthamaki agĩĩtĩkania nao na agĩĩka o ũguo.
And you you will muster for yourself - an army like the army which fell from you and a horse like the horse - and chariotry like the chariotry and let us fight them on the level ground if not we will be strong more than them and he listened to voice their and he did thus.
26 Kĩmera kĩrĩa kĩarũmĩrĩire gĩakinya-rĩ, Beni-Hadadi agĩcookanĩrĩria Asuriata, magĩthiĩ Afeki makarũe na andũ a Isiraeli.
And it was to [the] return of the year and he mustered Ben Hadad Aram and he went up Aphek towards for battle with Israel.
27 Rĩrĩa andũ a Isiraeli o nao maacookanĩrĩirio na makĩneo indo ciothe, makiumagara magatũngane nao. Andũ a Isiraeli makĩamba hema ciao ingʼethanĩire nao matariĩ ta tũrũũru twĩrĩ twa mbũri. Hĩndĩ ĩyo Asuriata maiyũrĩte bũrũri ũcio wothe.
And [the] people of Israel they were mustered and they were supplied and they went to meet them and they encamped [the] people of Israel before them like two little flocks of goats and Aram they filled the land.
28 Mũndũ wa Ngai agĩũka, akĩĩra mũthamaki wa Isiraeli atĩrĩ, “Jehova ekuuga ũũ: ‘Tondũ Asuriata mareciiria Jehova nĩ ngai wa irĩma-inĩ na ti ngai wa ituamba-inĩ-rĩ, nĩngũneana mbũtũ ĩno nene ũũ moko-inĩ maku, nawe ũmenye atĩ niĩ nĩ niĩ Jehova.’”
And he drew near [the] man of God and he said to [the] king of Israel and he said thus he says Yahweh because that they have said Aram [is] a god of mountains Yahweh and not [is] a god of valleys he and I will give all the multitude great this in hand your and you will know that I [am] Yahweh.
29 Ihinda rĩa mĩthenya mũgwanja maikarire mambĩte hema ciao mangʼethanĩire, na mũthenya wa mũgwanja makĩambĩrĩria mbaara. Andũ a Isiraeli makĩũraga thigari 100,000 cia magũrũ cia Asuriata, mũthenya ũmwe.
And they encamped these opposite to these seven days and it was - on the day seventh and it drew near the battle and they struck down [the] people of Israel Aram one hundred thousand foot soldier[s] in a day one.
30 Acio angĩ makĩũrĩra itũũra inene rĩa Afeki, kũrĩa rũthingo rwagwĩrĩire andũ ao 27,000. Nake Beni-Hadadi akĩũrĩra itũũra inene akĩĩhitha kanyũmba ga thĩinĩ.
And they fled the [ones who] remained - Aphek towards into the city and it fell the wall on twenty and seven thousand man who remained and Ben Hadad he fled and he went into the city a room in a room.
31 Anene ake makĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Ta rora, nĩtũiguĩte atĩ athamaki a nyũmba ya Isiraeli nĩ marĩ tha. Twĩtĩkĩrie tũthiĩ kũrĩ mũthamaki wa Isiraeli twĩhotorete nguo cia makũnia njohero na twĩrigiicĩirie mĩhĩndo mĩtwe iitũ. No gũkorwo nĩagetĩkĩra kũhonokia muoyo waku.”
And they said to him servants his here! please we have heard that [the] kings of [the] house of Israel that [are] kings of covenant loyalty they let us put please sackcloth on loins our and ropes on head our and let us go out to [the] king of Israel perhaps he will let live life your.
32 Makĩĩhotora nguo cia makũnia njohero, na makĩrigiicĩria mĩhĩndo mĩtwe yao, magĩthiĩ kũrĩ mũthamaki wa Isiraeli, makĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Ndungata yaku Beni-Hadadi egũkwĩra atĩrĩ, ‘Ndagũthaitha reke ndũũre muoyo.’” Nake mũthamaki akĩmooria atĩrĩ, “Arĩ o muoyo? Ũcio-rĩ, nĩ mũrũ wa baba.”
And they girded sackcloth on loins their and ropes on heads their and they went to [the] king of Israel and they said servant your Ben Hadad he says let it live please life my and he said ¿ [is] still he alive [is] brother my he.
33 Andũ acio makĩigua ũguo meerwo taarĩ kĩmenyithia kĩega, makĩgwatĩria kiugo gĩake, makiuga atĩrĩ, “Ĩĩ nĩguo, Beni-Hadadi nĩ mũrũ wa thoguo.” Mũthamaki akiuga atĩrĩ, “Thiĩi mũmũrehe.” Rĩrĩa Beni-Hadadi oimĩrire, Ahabu akĩmũingĩria ngaari-inĩ yake ya ita.
And the men they observed [the] signs and they hastened and they caught ¿ from him and they said [is] brother your Ben Hadad and he said go fetch him and he came out to him Ben Hadad and he brought up him on the chariot.
34 Beni-Hadadi akĩĩra Mũthamaki Ahabu atĩrĩ, “Nĩngũgũcookeria matũũra marĩa baba aatunyire thoguo, nawe ũthondeke kũndũ kwa wonjoria thĩinĩ wa Dameski, o ta ũrĩa baba eekĩte Samaria.” Nake Ahabu akiuga atĩrĩ, “Kũngĩgĩa na kĩrĩkanĩro kĩa ũiguano witũ nawe, nĩngũrekereria ũthiĩ.” Nĩ ũndũ ũcio magĩthondeka kĩrĩkanĩro kĩa ũiguano, akĩmwĩtĩkĩria athiĩ.
And he said to him the cities which he took father my from with father your I will return and streets you will make for yourself in Damascus just as he made father my in Samaria and I with the covenant I will let go you and he made to him a covenant and he let go him.
35 Na ũndũ wa kiugo kĩa Jehova, mũndũ ũmwe wa ariũ a anabii nĩerire mũndũ wa thiritũ yake atĩrĩ, “Ngũtha na mũtĩ waku wa mbaara,” no mũndũ ũcio akĩrega.
And a man one one of [the] sons of the prophets he said to companion his at [the] word of Yahweh strike me please and he refused the man to strike him.
36 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio mũnabii akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Tondũ ndũnathĩkĩra Jehova-rĩ, wathiĩ wandiga o ũguo nĩũkũũragwo nĩ mũrũũthi.” Na thuutha wa mũndũ ũcio gũthiĩ-rĩ, agĩkorwo nĩ mũrũũthi, ũkĩmũũraga.
And he said to him because that not you listened to [the] voice of Yahweh here you [are] about to go from with me and it will strike down you the lion and he went from beside him and it met him the lion and it struck down him.
37 Ningĩ mũnabii akĩona mũndũ ũngĩ, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Ndagũthaitha ngũtha,” nake mũndũ ũcio akĩmũgũtha na akĩmũtiihia.
And he found a man another and he said strike me please and he struck him the man completely and wounded.
38 Mũnabii agĩthiĩ, akĩrũgama mũkĩra-inĩ wa njĩra etereire mũthamaki. Ehumbĩrĩte maitho na gĩtambaya kĩa mũtwe nĩguo ndakamenyeke.
And he went the prophet and he stood for the king (beside *LAB(H)*) the way and he disguised himself with ashes over eyes his.
39 Na rĩrĩa mũthamaki aahĩtũkaga-rĩ, mũnabii ũcio akĩmwĩta, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Niĩ ndungata yaku ndĩrathiĩte harĩa mbaara ĩneneheire, nake mũndũ ũmwe arooka kũrĩ niĩ arĩ na mũndũ mũtahe, aranjĩĩra atĩrĩ, ‘Rangĩra mũndũ ũyũ, na angĩũra, wee nĩwe ũkooragwo handũ hake, kana ũrĩhe taranda ĩmwe ya betha.’
And he was the king passing by and he he cried out to the king and he said servant your - he went out in [the] midst of the battle and there! a man he turned aside and he brought to me a man and he said guard the man this if indeed he will be missing and it will be life your in place of life his or a talent of silver you will weigh out.
40 Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa ndungata yaku yagĩire na mĩhangʼo ya haha na harĩa mũndũ ũcio akĩũra.” Mũthamaki wa Isiraeli akiuga atĩrĩ, “Rĩu nĩrĩo ituĩro rĩaku, o ta ũguo wee mwene woiga.”
And he was servant your doing them and them and he there not [was] he and he said to him [the] king of Israel [is] thus sentence your you you have decided.
41 Hĩndĩ ĩyo mũnabii akĩeheria gĩtambaya maitho-inĩ na ihenya, nake mũthamaki wa Isiraeli akĩmũmenya atĩ nĩ ũmwe wa anabii.
And he hastened and he removed the bandage (from over *Q(k)*) eyes his and he recognized him [the] king of Israel that [was] one of the prophets he.
42 Akĩĩra mũthamaki atĩrĩ, “Jehova ekuuga ũũ: ‘Nĩũrekereirie mũndũ ũrĩa niĩ ndĩratuĩte atĩ no nginya akue. Nĩ ũndũ ũcio wee nĩwe ũgũkua handũ hake, nao andũ aku mooragwo handũ ha andũ ake.’”
And he said to him thus he says Yahweh because you have let go [the] man of total destruction my from a hand and it will be life your in place of life his and people your in place of people his.
43 Mũthamaki wa Isiraeli agĩthiĩ Samaria nyũmba-inĩ yake ya ũthamaki athitĩtie gĩthiithi na arĩ mũrakaru.
And he went [the] king of Israel to house his sullen and furious and he went Samaria towards.
