2 Athamaki 3
1 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.
Nowe Iehoram the sonne of Ahab beganne to reigne ouer Israel in Samaria, the eighteenth yeere of Iehoshaphat King of Iudah, and reigned twelue yeeres.
2 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.
And he wrought euill in the sight of the Lord, but not like his father nor like his mother: for he tooke away the image of Baal that his father had made.
3 No rĩrĩ, nĩarũmĩrĩire mehia ma Jeroboamu mũrũ wa Nebati, marĩa eehirie na agĩtũma andũ a Isiraeli o nao meehie, na ndaigana kũmatiga.
Neuerthelesse, he cleaued vnto the sinnes of Ieroboam, the sonne of Nebat, which made Israel to sinne, and departed not therefrom.
4 Na rĩrĩ, Mesha mũthamaki wa Moabi nĩarĩithagia ngʼondu na nĩarĩ atwaragĩre mũthamaki wa Isiraeli tũtũrũme 100,000 na guoya wa ndũrũme 100,000.
Then Mesha King of Moab had store of sheepe, and rendred vnto the King of Israel an hundreth thousande lambes, and an hundreth thousande rammes with the wooll.
5 No rĩrĩa Ahabu aakuire, mũthamaki wa Moabi akĩremera mũthamaki wa Isiraeli.
But when Ahab was dead, the king of Moab rebelled against the King of Israel.
6 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio ihinda rĩu Mũthamaki Joramu, akiuma Samaria na agĩcookanĩrĩria andũ a Isiraeli othe.
Therefore King Iehoram went out of Samaria the same season, and nombred all Israel,
7 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.”
And went, and sent to Iehoshaphat King of Iudah, saying, The King of Moab hath rebelled against me: wilt thou goe with me to battell against Moab? And he answered, I will goe vp: for I am, as thou art, my people, as thy people, and mine horses as thine horses.
8 Jehoshafatu akĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Tũkũgera njĩra ĩrĩkũ tũkamatharĩkĩre?” Joramu akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Tũkũgera njĩra ya werũ-inĩ wa Edomu.”
Then said he, What way shall we goe vp? And he answered, The way of the wildernesse of Edom.
9 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.
So went the King of Israel and the king of Iudah, and the King of Edom, and when they had compassed the way seuen dayes, they had no water for the hoste, nor for the cattell that followed them.
10 Mũthamaki wa Isiraeli akĩũria atĩrĩ, “Ũũ nĩatĩa! Kaĩ Jehova atwĩtĩte tũrĩ athamaki atatũ hamwe nĩgeetha atũneane kũrĩ Moabi?”
Therefore the King of Israel sayde, Alas, that the Lord hath called these three Kings, to giue them into the hand of Moab.
11 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.”
But Iehoshaphat saide, Is there not here a Prophet of the Lord, that we may inquire of the Lord by him? And one of the King of Israels seruants answered, and said, Here is Elisha the sonne of Shaphat, which powred water on the handes of Eliiah.
12 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.
Then Iehoshaphat saide, The worde of the Lord is with him. Therefore the King of Israel, and Iehoshaphat, and the King of Edom went downe to him.
13 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.”
And Elisha sayde vnto the King of Israel, What haue I to doe with thee? get thee to the prophets of thy father and to the prophets of thy mother. And the King of Israel saide vnto him, Nay: for the Lord hath called these three Kings, to giue them into the hande of Moab.
14 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.
Then Elisha said, As the Lord of hostes liueth, in whose sight I stande, if it were not, that I regarde the presence of Iehoshaphat the King of Iudah, I woulde not haue looked towarde thee, nor seene thee.
15 No rĩrĩ, ndeherai mũhũũri wa kĩnanda kĩa mũgeeto.” O rĩrĩa mũhũũri wa kĩnanda aahũraga-rĩ, guoko kwa Jehova gũkĩgĩa igũrũ rĩa Elisha
But nowe bring me a minstrel. And when the minstrel played, the hand of the Lord came vpon him.
16 nake akiuga atĩrĩ, “Ũũ nĩguo Jehova ekuuga: Enjai mĩtaro ĩiyũre gĩtuamba gĩkĩ.
And he saide, Thus saith the Lord, Make this valley full of ditches.
17 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.
For thus saith the Lord, Ye shall neither see winde nor see raine, yet the valley shalbe filled with water, that ye may drinke, both ye and your cattel, and your beastes.
18 Ũndũ ũyũ nĩ mũhũthũ maitho-inĩ ma Jehova; na ningĩ nĩekũneana Moabi moko-inĩ manyu.
But this is a small thing in the sight of the Lord: for he will giue Moab into your hande.
19 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.”
And ye shall smite euery strong towne and euery chiefe citie, and shall fell euery faire tree, and shall stoppe all the fountaines of water, and marre euery good fielde with stones.
20 Rũciinĩ rũrũ rũngĩ, ta ihinda rĩrĩa rĩrutagwo igongona, maaĩ magĩtherera kuuma mwena wa Edomu! Naguo bũrũri ũcio ũkĩiyũra maaĩ.
And in the morning whe the meat offring was offred, beholde, there came water by the way of Edom: and the countrey was filled with water.
21 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.
And when al the Moabites heard that the Kings were come vp to fight against them, they gathered all that was able to put on harnesse, and vpwarde, and stood in their border.
22 Rĩrĩa mookĩrire rũciinĩ tene-rĩ, riũa nĩrĩarĩte maaĩ-inĩ macio igũrũ. Andũ a Moabi marĩ mũrĩmo ũrĩa ũngĩ makĩona maaĩ maarĩ matune ta thakame.
And they rose earely in the morning, when the sunne arose vpon the water, and the Moabites saw the water ouer against them, as red as blood.
23 Nao makĩĩrana atĩrĩ, “Ĩĩrĩa nĩ thakame! Athamaki acio no nginya makorwo nĩmarũĩte na makooragana o ene. Andũ a Moabi, nĩtũthiĩi tũgatahe indo!”
And they saide, This is blood the Kings are surely slaine, and one hath smitten another: now therefore, Moab, to the spoyle.
24 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.
And when they came to the host of Israel, the Israelites arose vp, and smote the Moabites, so that they fled before them, but they inuaded them, and smote Moab.
25 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.
And they destroyed the cities: and on all the good field euery man cast his stone, and filled them and they stopt all the fountaines of water, and felled all the good trees: onely in Kirharaseth left they the stones thereof: howebeit they went about it with slings, and smote it.
26 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.
And when the King of Moab saw that the battel was too sore for him, he tooke with him seuen hudreth men that drew the sword, to break through vnto the King of Edom: but they could not.
27 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.
Then he tooke his eldest sonne, that should haue reigned in his stead, and offered him for a burnt offring vpon the wall: so that Israel was sore grieued, and they departed from him, and returned to their countrey.
