1 Ar-ari 22
1 Tallo a tawen ti naglabas nga awan ti gubat iti nagbaetan ti Aram ken Israel.
For three years Aram and Israel were not at war.
2 Ket napasamak nga iti maikatlo a tawen, napan ni Jehosafat nga ari ti Juda iti ari ti Israel.
But in the third year Jehoshaphat, king of Judah, went to visit the king of Israel.
3 Ita, kinuna ti ari ti Israel kadagiti adipenna, “Ammoyo kadi a ti Ramot Galaad ket kukuatayo, ngem awan ti ar-aramidentayo tapno maalatayo daytoy manipud iti ima ti ari ti Aram?”
The king of Israel had said to his officers, “Aren't you aware that Ramoth-gilead really belongs to us and yet we haven't done anything to take it back from the king of Aram?”
4 Isu a kinunana kenni Jehosafat, “Kaduaannak kadi a maki-gubat idiay Ramot Galaad?” Simmungbat ni Jehosafat iti ari ti Israel, “Agserbiak kenka, agbalin dagiti tattaok a tattaom, ken dagiti kabaliok a kabaliom.”
So he asked Jehoshaphat, “Will you join me in an attack to recapture Ramoth-gilead?” Jehoshaphat replied to the king of Israel, “You and I are as one, my men and your men are as one, and my horses and your horses are as one.”
5 Kinuna ni Jehosafat iti ari ti Israel, “Pangaasim ta kiddawem ti panangidalan manipud iti sao ni Yahweh no ania ti rumbeng nga aramidem nga umuna.”
Then Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel, “But first though, please find out what the Lord says.”
6 Ket inummong ti ari ti Israel dagiti amin a profeta, nga uppat a gasut a lallaki, ket kinunana kadakuada, “Mapanak kadi makigubat idiay Ramot Galaad, wenno saan?” Kinunada, “Rautem, ta iyawatto ti Apo daytoy iti ari.”
So the king of Israel brought out the prophets—four hundred of them—and he asked them, “Should I go up and attack Ramoth-gilead, or should I not?” “Yes, go ahead,” they replied, “for the Lord will hand it over to the king.”
7 Ngem kinuna ni Jehosafat, “Awan kadin ditoy ti sabali pay a profeta ni Yahweh a mabalintayo a pagkiddawan iti balakad?”
But Jehoshaphat asked, “Isn't there another prophet of the Lord here that we can ask?”
8 Kinuna ti ari ti Israel kenni Jehosafat, “Adda pay maysa a tao a mabalintayo a pagkiddawan iti balakad manipud kenni Yahweh a tumulong, ni Micaias nga anak ni Imla, ngem kagurak isuna ta saan a mangipadpadto iti aniaman a nasayaat a banag maipanggep kaniak, pasig a kinarigat laeng.” Ngem kinuna ni Jehosafat, “Saan koma nga ibaga ti ari dayta.”
“Yes, there's another man who could consult the Lord,” the king of Israel replied, “but I don't like him because he never prophesies anything good for me—it's always bad! His name is Micaiah, son of Imlah.” “You shouldn't talk like that,” said Jehoshaphat.
9 Ket nangayab ti ari ti Israel iti opisial ket binilinna, “Iyegyo a dagus ni Micaias nga anak ni Imla.”
The king of Israel called over one of his officials and told him, “Bring me Micaiah, son of Imlah, right away.”
10 Ita, nakatugaw ni Ahab nga ari ti Israel ken ni Jehosafat nga ari ti Juda kadagiti tronoda, nakakawesda kadagiti kawes ti ari, iti nawaya a lugar iti pagserekan iti ruangan ti Samaria, ket nangipadto amin dagiti profeta, iti sangoananda.
Dressed in their royal robes, the king of Israel and King Jehoshaphat of Judah, were sitting on their thrones at the threshing floor beside the gate of Samaria, with all of the prophets prophesying in front of them.
11 Nangaramid ni Zedekia nga anak ni Kenaana kadagiti landok a sinan sara ket kinunana, “Kastoy ti imbaga ni Yahweh: 'Babaen kadagitoy ket sangdoenyonto dagiti taga-Aram agingga a maibusda.”
One of them, Zedekiah, son of Chenaanah, had made himself iron horns. He announced, “This is what the Lord says: ‘With these horns you will gore the Arameans until they're dead!”
12 Kasta met laeng ti impadto dagiti amin a profeta, a kunada, “Darupenyo ti Ramot Galaad ket agballigikayo, ta iyawat ni Yahweh daytoy iti ari.”
All the prophets were prophesying the same thing, saying, “Go ahead, attack Ramoth-gilead; you will be successful, for the Lord will hand it over to the king.”
13 Nagsao kenkuana ti mensahero a napan nangayab kenni Micaias, a kunana, “Ita dumngegka, pasig a nasayaat a banbanag dagiti sasao nga imbaga dagiti profeta ti ari. Pangngaasim ta kasta met koma ti sawem ket nasayaat a banbanag ti ibagam.”
The messenger who went to call Micaiah told him, “Look, all the prophets are unanimous in prophesying positively to the king. So please make sure to speak positively like them.”
14 Simmungbat ni Micaias, “Iti nagan ni Yahweh nga adda iti agnanayon, ti ibaga ni Yahweh kaniak ti sawek.”
But Micaiah replied, “As the Lord lives, I can only say what my God tells me.”
15 Idi napan isuna iti ayan ti ari, kinuna ti ari kenkuana, “Micaias, mapankami kadi makigubat idiay Ramot Galaad, wenno saan?” Simmungbat ni Micaias, “Rautem ket parmekem. Iyawatto ni Yaweh daytoy iti ima ti ari.”
When he came before the king, the king asked him, “Should we go up and attack Ramoth-gilead, or should we not?” “Yes, go ahead and be victorious,” Micaiah replied, “for the Lord will give it into the king's hand.”
16 Ket kinuna ti ari kenkuana, “Namin-ano a daras nga imbagak kenka nga ikarim nga ibagam laeng kaniak ti kinapudno iti nagan ni Yahweh?”
But the king said to him, “How many times must I make you swear to tell me only the truth in the name of the Lord?”
17 Isu a kinuna ni Micaias, “Nakitak ti entero nga Israel a nawarawara kadagiti banbantay, kasla da la karnero nga awan iti mangipaspastor, ket kinuna ni Yahweh, 'Awan ti mangipaspastor kadagitoy. Agsubli koma ti tunggal tao iti balayna a sitatalged.”’
So Micaiah answered, “I saw all Israel scattered on the mountains like sheep without a shepherd. The Lord said, ‘These people have no master; let each of them go home in peace.’”
18 Isu a kinuna ti ari ti Israel kenni Jehosafat, “Saan kadi nga imbagak kenka a saan isuna nga agipadto iti nasayaat maipanggep kaniak, ngem didigra laeng?”
The king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, “Didn't I tell you he never prophesies anything good for me, only bad?”
19 Ket kinuna ni Micaias, “Denggem ngarud ti sao ni Yahweh: Nakitak ni Yahweh a nakatugaw iti tronona, ken dagiti amin a buybuyot ti langit ket agtaktakder iti makannawan ken iti makannigidna.
Micaiah went on to say, “So listen to what the Lord says. I saw the Lord sitting on his throne, surrounded by the whole army of heaven standing to his right and to his left.
20 Kinuna ni Yahweh, 'Siasino ti mangallilaw kenni Ahab, tapno mapan isuna ken maparmek idiay Ramot Galaad?' Ket nagduduma ti insungbat ti tunggal maysa.
The Lord asked, ‘Who will trick Ahab, king of Israel, into attacking Ramoth-gilead so he will be killed there?’ One said this, another said that, and another said something else.
21 Ket adda maysa nga espiritu a nagpasango, nagtakder iti sangoanan ni Yahweh, ket kinunana, 'Siak ti mangallilaw kenkuana.' Kinuna ni Yahweh kenkuana, 'Kasano?'
Finally a spirit came and approached the Lord and said, ‘I will trick him.’
22 Simmungbat ti espiritu, 'Mapanak ken agbalinak nga agul-ulbod nga espiritu iti ngiwat dagiti amin a profetana.' Simmungbat ni Yahweh, 'Allilawem isuna, ket agballigikanto. Mapanka ket aramiden ti imbagam.'
‘How are you going to do that?’ the Lord asked. ‘I will go and be a lying spirit and make all his prophets tell lies,’ the spirit replied. ‘That will work,’ the Lord responded. ‘Go and do it.’
23 Ita kitaem, nangikabil ni Yahweh iti agul-ulbod nga espiritu iti ngiwat dagiti amin a profetam, ket nangituyang ni Yahweh ti didigra para kenka.”
As you see, the Lord has put a lying spirit into these prophets of yours, and the Lord has pronounced your death sentence.”
24 Kalpasanna immasideg ni Zedekaia nga anak ni Kenaana, tinungpana ni Micaias, ket kinunana, “Kasano a rimmuar kaniak ti Espiritu ni Yahweh tapno makitungtong kenka?”
Then Zedekiah, son of Chenaanah, went and slapped Micaiah in the face, and demanded, “Which way did the Spirit of the Lord go when he left me to speak to you?”
25 Kinuna ni Micaias, “Kitaem, maammoamto dayta, iti dayta nga aldaw, inton agtarayka nga aglemmeng iti akin uneg a siled.
“You'll soon find out when you try and find some secret place to hide!” Micaiah replied.
26 Kinuna ti ari ti Israel iti adipena, “Tiliwem ni Micaias ket iyapanmo kenni Amon, a gobernador ti siudad, kenni Joas, nga anakko.
The king of Israel ordered, “Place Micaiah under arrest and take him back to Amon the governor of the city and to my son Joash.
27 Ibagam kenkuana, 'Kuna ti ari, Ibaludyo daytoy a tao ket bassit a tinapay ti ipakanyo ken ikkanyo ti laeng ti bassit a danum, agingga a makasangpetak a sitatalged.”’
Tell them these are the king's instructions: ‘Put this man in jail. Give him only bread and water until my safe return.’”
28 Ket kinuna ni Micaias, “No makasublika a sitatalged, saan ngarud a nagsao ni Yahweh kaniak.” Ket kinunana pay, “Denggenyo daytoy, dakayo amin a tattao.”
“If you do in fact return safely then the Lord has not spoken through me,” Micaiah declared. “Pay attention everyone to all I've said!”
29 Napan ngarud ni Ahab nga ari ti Israel, ken ni Jehosafat nga ari ti Juda idiay Ramot Galaad.
The king of Israel and Jehoshaphat, king of Judah, went to attack Ramoth-gilead.
30 Kinuna ti ari ti Israel kenni Jehosafat, “Manglimlimoak ket mapanak iti paggugubatan, ngem ikawesmo dagiti pagan-anaymo a kas ari.” Isu a nanglimlimo ngarud ti ari ti Israel ket napan iti paggugubatan.
The king of Israel told Jehoshaphat, “When I go into battle I will be in disguise, but you should wear your royal robes.” So the king of Israel disguised himself and went into battle.
31 Ita, binilin ti ari ti Aram dagiti tallo pulo ket dua a kapitan ti karwahena, a kunana, “Saanyo a darupen uray siasinoman kadagiti soldado. Ketdi, darupenyo laeng ti ari ti Israel.”
The king of Aram had already given these orders to his chariot commanders: “Head straight for the king of Israel alone. Don't fight with anyone else, whoever they are.”
32 Ket idi nakita dagiti kapitan dagiti karwahe ni Jehosafat kinunada, “Sigurado a dayta ti ari ti Israel.” Dinarupda isuna, ket nagriaw ni Jehosafat.
So when the chariot commanders saw Jehoshaphat, they shouted, “This must be the king of Israel!” So they turned to attack him, but when Jehoshaphat called out for help,
33 Ket idi nakita dagiti mangidadaulo kadagiti karwahe a saan nga isu ti ari ti Israel, saandan nga intuloy iti panangkamatda kenkuana.
the chariot commanders saw it wasn't the king of Israel and stopped chasing him.
34 Ngem adda maysa a lalaki a nangipasaksak lattan iti panana ket natamaan ti ari ti Israel iti nagsaipan ti kabalna. Ket kinuna ni Ahab iti mangiturturong iti karwahena, “Agsublita ken ipanawnak ditoy paggugubatan, ta nasugatanak iti nakaro.”
However, an enemy archer shot an arrow at random, hitting the king of Israel between the joints of his armor by his breastplate. The king told his charioteer, “Turn around and get me out of the fight, because I've been wounded!”
35 Kimarkaro ti gubat iti dayta nga aldaw, ket sisasadag ti ari iti karwahena a nakasango kadagiti taga-Aram. Natay isuna iti karabianna. Nagsayasay ti darana manipud iti sugatna iti datar iti karwahe.
The battle lasted all day. The king of Israel was propped up in his chariot to face the Arameans, but in the evening he died. The blood had poured out of his wound onto the floor of the chariot.
36 Ket idi lumlumneken ti init, impukkaw dagiti armada, a kunada, “Agsubli ti tunggal maysa iti siudadna, ken tunggal maysa iti rehionna!”
At sunset, a shout went out from the lines: “Retreat! Every man back to his town, every man back to his own country!”
37 Natay ngarud ni Ahab ket impanda idiay Samaria, ket impunponda isuna idiay Samaria.
So the king died. He was taken back to Samaria where they buried him.
38 Binugwanda ti karwahe iti pagdigosan idiay Samaria, ket dinilpatan dagiti aso ti darana (ditoy ti pagdigdigusan dagiti balangkantis), kas iti sao nga imbaga ni Yahweh.
They washed his chariot at a pool in Samaria where the prostitutes came to bathe, and dogs licked up his blood, just as the Lord had said.
39 Maipapan kadagiti dadduma a banbanag maipanggep kenni Ahab, amin nga inaramidna, ti impatakderna a marfil a balay, ken amin a siudad nga imbangonna saan kadi a naisurat dagitoy iti Libro dagiti Pakasaritaan dagiti Ar-ari ti Israel?
The rest of what happened in Ahab's reign, all that he did, the ivory palace he constructed and all the cities he built are recorded in the Book of Chronicles of the Kings of Israel.
40 Pimmusay ngarud ni Ahab, ket ni Ahazias nga anakna a lalaki ti nagbalin nga ari a simmukat kenkuana.
Ahab died and his son Ahaziah succeeded him as king.
41 Ket nangrugi a nagturay idiay Juda ni Jehosafat nga anak ni Asa idi maikapat a tawen a panagturay ni Ahab nga ari ti Israel.
Jehoshaphat, son of Asa, became king of Judah in the fourth year of the reign of Ahab, king of Israel.
42 Tallopulo ket lima ti tawen ni Jehosafat idi nagturay isuna, ket nagturay isuna iti duapulo ket lima a tawen idiay Jerusalem. Ti nagan ti inana ket Azuba, nga anak a babai ni Silhi.
Jehoshaphat was thirty-five when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem for twenty-five years. His mother's name was Azubah, daughter of Shilhi.
43 Nagbiag isuna iti wagas ni Asa nga amana; saanna a tinallikudan dagitoy; inaramidna no ania ti nasayaat iti imatang ni Yahweh. Nupay kasta, saan pay a naikkat dagiti disso a pagdaydayawan. Agidatdaton ken agpupuor latta iti insenso dagiti tattao kadagiti disso a pagdaydayawan.
He followed all the ways of his father; he did not depart from them, and he did what was right in the Lord's sight. However, the high places were not removed and the people still sacrificed and presented offerings there.
44 Nakipagkapia ni Jehosafat iti ari ti Israel.
Jehoshaphat also made peace with the king of Israel.
45 Maipapan kadagiti dadduma a banbanag maipangep kenni Jehosafat, ken ti kinabileg nga impakitana ken no kasano a nangabak isuna iti gubat, saan kadi a naisurat dagitoy iti Libro dagiti Pakasaritaan dagiti Ar-ari ti Juda?
The rest of what happened in Jehoshaphat's reign, his great achievements and the wars he fought are recorded in the Book of Chronicles of the Kings of Judah.
46 Pinapanawna manipud iti daga dagiti nabatbati a balangkantis a natda kadagiti al-aldaw ti amana a ni Asa.
He expelled from the land any cult prostitutes who were left from the time of his father Asa.
47 Awan ti ari idiay Edom, ngem nagturay ti pannakabagi ti ari sadiay.
(At that time there was no king in Edom; only a deputy who served as king.)
48 Nangaramid ni Jehosafat kadagiti barko a paglayag a mapan idiay Ofir gapu iti balitok, ngem saanda a nakadanon gapu ta nadadael dagiti barko idiay Ezion Geber.
Jehoshaphat built sea-going ships to go to Ophir for gold, but they went because they were wrecked at Ezion-geber.
49 Ket kinuna ni Ahazias nga anak ni Ahab kenni Jehosafat, “Ipalubosmo koma a makilayag dagiti adipenko kadagiti adipenmo kadagiti barko.” Ngem saan nga immannugot ni Jehosafat.
During that time Ahaziah, son of Ahab, asked Jehoshaphat, “Let my men sail with your men,” but Jehoshaphat refused.
50 Pimmusay ni Jehosafat ket naitabon a kaduada iti siudad ni David, a kapuonanna; ni Jehoram nga anakna ti nagbalin nga ari a simmukat kenkuana.
Jehoshaphat died and was buried with his forefathers in the City of David. His son Jehoram succeeded him as king.
51 Nagturay ni Ahazias nga anak ni Ahab iti Israel idiay Samaria idi maikasangapulo ket pito a tawen a panagturay ni Jehoshafat nga ari ti Juda, ket nagturay isuna iti dua a tawen iti Israel.
Ahaziah, son of Ahab, became king of Israel in Samaria in the seventeenth year of Jehoshaphat, king of Judah, and he reigned over Israel for two years.
52 Dakes ti inaramidna iti imatang ni Yahweh ken nagbiag iti wagas ti amana, ken iti wagas ti inana, ken iti wagas ni Jeroboam nga anak ni Nabat, ket iti kasta insungsongna ti Israel nga agbasol.
He did what was evil in the Lord's sight and followed the ways of his father and mother, and of Jeroboam, son of Nebat, who had made Israel sin.
53 Nagserbi isuna kenni Baal ken dinayawna isuna, isu a pinagpungtotna ni Yahweh, a Dios ti Israel, a kas iti inaramid ti amana.
He served Baal and worshiped him, and angered the Lord, the God of Israel, just as his father had.
