1 Na rĩrĩ, Jehoshafatu aarĩ na indo nyingĩ na agatĩĩka mũno, nake agĩtuma ũthoni na Ahabu.
[南北聯婚齊戰阿蘭]約沙法特的財產豐富,尊榮很大,且與阿哈布聯婚。
2 Mĩaka mĩnini yathira-rĩ, agĩikũrũka agĩthiĩ gũceerera Ahabu kũu Samaria. Nake Ahabu akĩmũthĩnjĩra ngʼondu nyingĩ na ngʼombe marĩ hamwe na andũ arĩa maarĩ nake, na akĩmũringĩrĩria matharĩkĩre Ramothu-Gileadi.
幾年內以後,他到撒瑪黎雅去見阿哈布。阿哈布為他和跟從他的隨員,宰殺了許多牛羊,慫恿他去攻打辣摩特基肋阿得。
3 Ahabu, mũthamaki wa Isiraeli akĩũria Jehoshafatu mũthamaki wa Juda atĩrĩ, “Nĩũgũthiĩ hamwe na niĩ tũgookĩrĩre Ramothu-Gileadi?” Nake Jehoshafatu akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Niĩ tũrĩ o ũndũ ũmwe nawe, o na andũ akwa no ta andũ aku; na nĩtũgaakorwo tũrĩ hamwe nawe kũu mbaara-inĩ”.
以色列王阿哈布對猶大王約沙法特說:「你願意同我一起去攻打辣摩特基肋阿得嗎﹖」約沙法特回答說:「你我原不分彼此,我的人民就是你的人民;我必與你同去作戰。」[假先知預言勝利]
4 No Jehoshafatu agĩcooka akĩĩra mũthamaki wa Isiraeli atĩrĩ, “Amba ũtuĩrie na ũmenye ũtaaro wa Jehova.”
約沙法特對以色列王說:「請你先求問上主的答話! 」
5 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio mũthamaki wa Isiraeli akĩũngania anabii 400, akĩmooria atĩrĩ, “Tũthiĩ tũkahũũrane na Ramothu-Gileadi kana ndigathiĩ?” Nao makĩmũcookeria makĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Thiĩ, nĩgũkorwo Ngai nĩekũneana itũũra rĩu moko-inĩ ma mũthamaki.”
以色列王於是召集了先知,共四百人,問他們說:「我們應該上去進攻辣摩特基肋阿得﹖還是不去呢﹖」他們回答說:「上主,天主必將那地交於大王手中。」
6 Nowe Jehoshafatu akĩũria atĩrĩ, “Kaĩ gũkũ gũtarĩ mũnabii wa Jehova ũrĩa tũngĩũria ũhoro kuuma kũrĩ we?”
但是約沙法特說:「這裏就沒有一位上只的先知,我們可以託他求問嗎﹖」
7 Mũthamaki wa Isiraeli agĩcookeria Jehoshafatu atĩrĩ, “Nĩ kũrĩ mũndũ ũmwe ũrĩa ũngĩtũtuĩrĩria ũhoro kuuma kũrĩ Jehova, no nĩndĩmũthũire tondũ gũtirĩ hĩndĩ andathagĩra ũndũ mwega, no maũndũ mooru hĩndĩ ciothe. Nake nĩwe Mikaia mũrũ wa Imula.” No Jehoshafatu agĩcookia atĩrĩ, “Mũthamaki ndagĩrĩirwo nĩ kuuga ũguo.”
以色列王回答約沙法特說:「還有一個人,可以託他求問天主,不過我憎恨他,因為他對我說預言,總不說吉祥話,常說兇言;這人就是依默拉的兒子米加雅。」約沙法特對他說:「請大王別這樣說! 」
8 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio mũthamaki wa Isiraeli agĩĩta ũmwe wa anene ake, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Ndehera Mikaia mũrũ wa Imula narua.”
於是以色列王召來一個宦官,吩咐他說:「快去將依默拉的兒子米加雅召來! 」
9 Hĩndĩ ĩyo mũthamaki wa Isiraeli na Jehoshafatu mũthamaki wa Juda, mehumbĩte nguo ciao cia ũthamaki, magĩikarĩra itĩ ciao cia ũnene hau kĩhuhĩro-inĩ kĩa ngano kĩrĩa kĩarĩ itoonyero-inĩ rĩa Samaria, nao anabii othe maarĩ ho makĩratha mohoro marĩ mbere yao.
當時以色列王和猶大王約沙法特在撒瑪黎雅城門前的廣場上,各穿朝服,坐在寶座上;所有的先知在他們面前說預言。
10 Na rĩrĩ, Zedekia mũrũ wa Kenaana nĩathondekete hĩa cia kĩgera, nake akiuga atĩrĩ, “Jehova ekuuga ũũ: ‘Ici nĩcio mũgaatheeca Asuriata nacio nginya mũmaniine.’”
革納阿納的兒子漆德克雅帶了一些鐵角說:「上主這樣說:你要用這些鐵角刺殺阿蘭人,直到將他們消滅。」
11 Nao anabii acio angĩ othe maarathaga o ũndũ ũmwe, makoiga atĩrĩ: “Tharĩkĩra Ramothu-Gileadi na nĩũgũtooria, tondũ Jehova nĩekũrĩneana moko-inĩ ma mũthamaki.”
所有的先知也這樣預言說:「你上辣摩特基肋阿得去必會勝利,上主必將那地交於大王手中! 」[米加雅預言戰敗]
12 Mũndũ ũrĩa watũmĩtwo ageete Mikaia akĩmwĩra ũũ, “Atĩrĩrĩ, anabii arĩa angĩ othe maarĩtie o ta mũndũ ũmwe, mararathĩra mũthamaki ũhootani. Reke kiugo gĩaku gĩtigakararanie na kĩao, na warie ũndũ mwega.”
那去召米加雅的使者對米加雅說:「看,先知們都異口同聲對君王說吉祥的話,希望你說的話也與他們每人說的話一樣,也是吉祥的話! 」
13 Nowe Mikaia akiuga atĩrĩ, “Ti-itherũ o ta ũrĩa Jehova atũũraga muoyo, niĩ ngũmwĩra o ũrĩa Ngai wakwa ekunjĩĩra.”
米加雅回答說:「我指著永生的上主起誓:我的天主吩咐什麼,我就說什麼! 」
14 Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa aakinyire-rĩ, mũthamaki akĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Mikaia, tũthiĩ tũkahũũranĩre itũũra rĩa Ramothu-Gileadi, kana tũtigaathiĩ?” Nake Mikaia akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Rĩtharĩkĩre na ũhootane, tondũ nĩrĩkũneanwo moko-inĩ maku.”
米加雅來到王那裏,王就問他說:「米加雅,我們應該上去進攻辣摩特基肋阿得,還是不去呢﹖」他回答說:「上去,必然勝利,他們必落在你們手中。」
15 Mũthamaki akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Nĩ maita maigana ngũtũũra ngwĩhĩtithagia ndũkae kũnjĩĩra ũhoro ũngĩ tiga ũhoro wa ma thĩinĩ wa rĩĩtwa rĩa Jehova?”
君王對他說:「我應當多少次叫你宣誓,你纔奉上主的名,對我說實話呢﹖」
16 Nake Mikaia akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Ndĩronire andũ a Isiraeli othe mahurunjũkĩire irĩma-inĩ ta ngʼondu itarĩ na mũrĩithi, nake Jehova aroiga atĩrĩ, ‘Andũ aya matirĩ na mwathi. O mũndũ nĩarekwo ainũke gwake na thayũ.’”
米加雅答說:「我看見全以色列散在山上,好像沒有牧人的羊群。上主說:這些人既然沒有主人,更好各自平安回家去罷! 」
17 Nake mũthamaki wa Isiraeli akĩĩra Jehoshafatu atĩrĩ, “Githĩ ndikwĩrire atĩ ndarĩ hĩndĩ angĩĩndathĩra ũhoro mwega, tiga o ũrĩa mũũru?”
以色列王對約沙法特說:「我不是告訴過你,他對我說預言,總不說吉祥話,只說兇言麼﹖」
18 Mikaia agĩthiĩ na mbere, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Nĩ ũndũ ũcio thikĩrĩria kiugo kĩa Jehova: Ndĩronire Jehova aikarĩire gĩtĩ gĩake kĩa ũnene, arĩ na mbũtũ yothe ya igũrũ ĩrũgamĩte ĩmũthiũrũrũkĩirie mwena wa ũrĩo na wa ũmotho.
米加雅答說:「請你們靜聽上主的話:我見上主坐在寶座上,天上的萬軍侍立在他左右。
19 Nake Jehova aroria atĩrĩ, ‘Nũũ ũkũheenereria Ahabu mũthamaki wa Isiraeli nĩguo atharĩkĩre Ramothu-Gileadi, nĩgeetha athiĩ agakuĩre kuo?’ “Ũmwe akiuga ũũ, na ũrĩa ũngĩ akiuga ũũ.
上主問說:誰去唆使以色列王阿哈布上去,叫他陣王在辣摩特基肋阿得呢﹖那時有的說這樣,有的說那樣。
20 Marigĩrĩrio-inĩ, roho ũmwe ũkiumĩra, ũkĩrũgama mbere ya Jehova, ũkiuga atĩrĩ, ‘Nĩ niĩ ngũmũheenereria.’ “Jehova akĩũria atĩrĩ, ‘Ũkũmũheenereria atĩa?’
以後有一個神出來,立在上主面前說:我能唆使他。上主的問他說:用什麼方法﹖
21 “Naguo roho ũcio ũkiuga atĩrĩ, ‘Nĩgũthiĩ ngũthiĩ nduĩke roho wa maheeni tũnua-inĩ twa anabii ake othe.’ “Nake Jehova akiuga atĩrĩ, ‘Wee nĩũkũhota kũmũheenereria. Thiĩ ũgeeke ũguo.’
那神答說:我去,在他所有先知們口中做虛言的神。上主回答說:你能唆使,也必會成功的,就去照樣辦罷!
22 “Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Jehova nĩekĩrĩte roho wa maheeni tũnua-inĩ twa anabii aya aku. Jehova nĩagwathĩrĩirie mwanangĩko.”
現在上主將虛言的神放入你這些先知口中,上主已注定你必遭殃。」
23 Hĩndĩ ĩyo Zedekia mũrũ wa Kenaana akĩambata na akĩringa Mikaia rũhĩ ũthiũ. Akĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Kaĩ roho wa Jehova agereire kũ rĩrĩa oimire kũrĩ niĩ nĩguo aarie nawe?”
那時,革納阿納的兒子漆德克雅前來,打米加雅的臉說:「上主的神由那條路離開了我,而同你說話呢﹖」
24 Mikaia agĩcookia atĩrĩ, “Nĩũkamenya mũthenya ũrĩa ũgaathiĩ kwĩhitha kanyũmba ka na thĩinĩ.”
米加雅答說:「在你進入最嚴密的室內隱藏的那一天,你就會知道了! 」
25 Mũthamaki wa Isiraeli agĩathana, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Oyai Mikaia mũmũcookie kũrĩ Amoni mwathi wa itũũra inene, na kũrĩ Joashu mũrũ wa mũthamaki,
以色列王吩咐說:「將米加雅帶去,交給阿孟市長和約阿布王子,
26 na mũmwĩre atĩrĩ, ‘Mũthamaki ekuuga ũũ: Mũndũ ũyũ nĩaikio njeera na ndakaheo kĩndũ gĩa kũrĩa tiga mũgate na maaĩ nginya rĩrĩa ngaacooka na thayũ.’”
說君王這樣吩咐:將這人下在監裏,少給他吃的喝的,等我平安回來。」
27 Mikaia akiuga atĩrĩ, “Ũngĩgaacooka na thayũ-rĩ, no gũtuĩkire atĩ Jehova ndaarĩtie na niĩ.” Agĩcooka akiuga atĩrĩ, “Iguai ũhoro wakwa inyuĩ andũ aya inyuothe!”
米加雅說:「你如果能平安回來,那麼,上主就沒藉我說過話。」又說:「眾百姓! 你們要聽清楚啊! 」[阿哈布陣亡]
28 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio mũthamaki wa Isiraeli na Jehoshafatu mũthamaki wa Juda makĩambata nginya Ramothu-Gileadi.
以色列王遂與猶大王約沙法特上去進攻辣摩特基肋阿得。
29 Nake mũthamaki wa Isiraeli akĩĩra Jehoshafatu atĩrĩ, “Nĩngũtoonya mbaara-inĩ ndĩĩgarũrĩte ndikamenyeke no wee wĩkĩre nguo cia ũthamaki.” Nĩ ũndũ ũcio mũthamaki wa Isiraeli akĩĩgarũra ndakamenyeke na agĩtoonya mbaara-inĩ.
以色列王對約沙法特說:「我要改裝上陣,你可仍穿朝服。」於是以色列王改裝上了陣。
30 Na rĩrĩ, mũthamaki wa Asuriata nĩathĩte anene ake a ngaari cia ita akameera atĩrĩ, “Mũtikarũe na mũndũ o na ũrĩkũ, mũnini kana mũnene, tiga o mũthamaki wa Isiraeli.”
阿蘭王曾吩咐自己的戰車隊長說:「你們不必與大小將士交戰,只攻打以色列王。」
31 Rĩrĩa anene a mbũtũ cia ngaari cia ita moonire Jehoshafatu magĩĩciiria atĩrĩ, “Ũyũ nĩwe mũthamaki wa Isiraeli” Nĩ ũndũ ũcio makĩgarũrũka mamũtharĩkĩre, no Jehoshafatu agĩkaya, nake Jehova akĩmũteithia. Ngai akĩmaroria na kũngĩ, makĩmweherera,
戰車隊長一看見約沙法特,便說:「這必是以色列王! 」遂將他包圍,向他進攻;約沙法特連聲叫苦,上主援助了他,天主使敵人遠離了他。
32 nĩgũkorwo rĩrĩa anene a ngaari cia ita moonire atĩ tiwe warĩ mũthamaki wa Isiraeli, magĩtiga gũthingatana nake.
戰車隊長見他不是以色列王,就不再追擊他。
33 No mũndũ ũmwe akĩgeeta ũta wake, agĩikia mũguĩ o ro ũguo, naguo ũkĩratha mũthamaki wa Isiraeli o gatagatĩ-inĩ ka magathĩkanĩrio ma nguo yake ya mbaara. Nake mũthamaki akĩĩra mũtwarithia wa ngaari ya ita atĩrĩ, “Garũra ngaari ũndute mbaara-inĩ. Nĩndagurario.”
有人偶然一箭,正射入以色列王的鎧甲與腰帶中,君王對駕車的人說:「轉回,載我離開陣地,我已受傷。」
34 Nayo mbaara ĩkĩneneha mũthenya wothe, na mũthamaki wa Isiraeli agĩĩtiirania ngaari-inĩ yake ya mbaara angʼetheire Asuriata o nginya hwaĩ-inĩ. Narĩo riũa rĩgĩthũa-rĩ, agĩkua.
但那天戰事越來越激烈,以色列王仍立在車上,抵抗阿蘭人,直到晚上;日落的時後,王就死了。
