2 Ar-ari 1
1 Bimmusor ti Moab iti Israel kalpasan iti ipapatay ni Ahab.
After King Ahab died, [the country of] Moab rebelled against Israel.
2 Ket natnag ni Ahazias iti balkon iti akingato a siledna idiay Samaria, ket nasugatan. Isu a nangibaon isuna kadagiti mensahero ket kinunana kadakuada, “Mapankayo, makiuman kenni Baal Zebub, a dios ti Ekron, no umimbagak pay manipud iti daytoy a pannakadangran.”
One day, Ahaziah, [the new king of Israel, ] fell through the wooden slats/boards around the edge of the flat roof [of his palace] in Samaria. He was badly injured, so he summoned some messengers and told them, “Go to Ekron [city in Philistia], and ask their god Baalzebub whether I will (recover/become well).”
3 Ngem kinuna ti anghel ni Yahweh kenni Elias a Tesbita, “Agrubuatka, mapanmo sabtem dagiti mensahero ti ari ti Samaria, ket damagem kadakuada, 'Gapu kadi ta awan ti Dios ti Israel isu a mapankayo makiuman kenni Baal Zebub, a dios ti Ekron?
But an angel from Yahweh said to Elijah, the prophet from Tishbe [town], “The king of Samaria [is sending] some messengers [to Ekron]. Go and meet them and say to them, ‘Is it because there is no God in Israel that you are going to Ekron to ask Baalzebub, the god of those people, [whether you will recover]?
4 Isu a kuna ni Yahweh, “Saankan a makababa iti pagiddaan nga immulliam; ngem ketdi, mataykanto.”'” Ket pimmanaw ni Elias.
Yahweh says [that you should tell King Ahaziah] that he will not recover from his being injured; he will surely die.’”
5 Idi nagsubli dagiti mensahero kenni Ahazias, kinunana kadakuada, “Apay a nagsublikayo?”
[So Elijah went to meet] the messengers [and told that to them, and they] returned to the king [instead of going to Ekron]. The king asked them, “Why did you return [so soon]?”
6 Kinunada kenkuana, “Adda ti maysa a tao nga immay simmabat kadakami a nangibaga, 'Agsublikayo iti ari a nangibaon kadakayo, ket ibagayo kenkuana, “Imbaga ni Yahweh daytoy: 'Gapu kadi ta awan ti Dios ti Israel isu a nangibaonka kadagiti lallaki a makiuman kenni Baal Zebub, a dios ti Ekron? Ngarud saankan a makababa iti pagiddaan nga immulliam; ngem ketdi, mataykanto.'”'”
They replied, “A man came to meet us, and said to us, ‘Return to the king who sent you and tell him that Yahweh says, “(Is it because there no God in Israel that you are sending [messengers] to Ekron to consult Baalzebub, their god?/You seem to think there is no God in Israel, with the result that you are sending [messengers] to Ekron to ask Baalzebub, their god, [whether you will recover].) [RHQ] [Go tell the king that] he will not recover from being injured; instead, he will surely die.”’”
7 Kinuna ni Ahazias kadagiti mensaherona, “Ania ti langana, ti tao a simmabat ken nangibaga kadagitoy a sasao kadakayo?”
The king said to them, “The man who came to meet you and told that to you, what did he look like?”
8 Simmungbatda kenkuana, “Nakakawes isuna iti naaramid ti buok ken nakabarikes isuna iti lalat.” Isu nga insungbat ti ari, “Dayta ni Elias a Tesbita.”
They replied, “He was a hairy man and he had a [wide] leather belt around his waist.” The king exclaimed, “That was Elijah!”
9 Nangibaon ngarud ti ari iti kapitan nga addaan iti limapulo a soldado a mapan kenni Elias. Simmang-at ti kapitan a napan kenni Elias iti pagtugtugawanna iti tapaw ti turod. Nagsao ti kapitan kenkuana, “Sika, a tao ti Dios, kinuna ti ari, 'Bumabaka.’”
Then the king sent an officer with 50 soldiers to seize Elijah. They found Elijah sitting on the top of a hill. The officer called out to him, “Prophet, the king commands that you come down here!”
10 “Simmungbat ni Elias ket kinunana iti kapitan, “No taonak ti Dios, bumaba koma ti apuy manipud langit ket puorannaka ken dagiti limapulo a tattaom.” Ket bimmaba ti apuy manipud langit ket naikisap isuna ken dagiti limapulo a tattaona.
But Elijah replied, “I am a prophet; so, I command that fire come down from the sky and burn up you and your 50 soldiers!” Immediately, fire came down from the sky and completely burned up the officer and his 50 [soldiers].
11 Nangibaon manen ni Ari Ahazias iti sabali a kapitan nga addaan iti limapulo a soldado. Kinuna met dayta a kapitan kenni Elias, “Sika, a tao ti Dios, kuna ti ari, 'Bumabaka a dagus.”'
[When the king found out about that, ] he sent another officer with 50 more soldiers. They went [to where Elijah was], and the officer called out to him, “Prophet, the king commands that you come down immediately!”
12 “Simmungbat ni Elias ket kinunana kadakuada, “No taonak ti Dios, bumaba koma ti apuy manipud langit ket puorannaka ken dagiti limapulo a tattaom.” Bimmaba manen ti apuy ti Dios manipud langit ket naikisap isuna ken dagiti limapulo a tattaona.
But Elijah replied, “I am a prophet; [to prove that, ] I command that fire come down from the sky and kill you and your soldiers!” Then a fire from God came down from the sky and killed the officer and his soldiers.
13 Nu pay kasta, nangibaon manen ti ari iti maikatlo a bunggoy ti limapulo a mannakigubat. Simmang-at daytoy a kapitan, nagparintumeng isuna iti sangoanan ni Elias, ket nagpakpakaasi ken kinunana kenkuana, “Sika, a tao ti Dios, dawatek kenka, agbalin koma a kailala iti imatangmo ti biagko ken ti biag dagitoy limapulo nga adipenmo.
[When the king heard about that] he sent another officer with 50 more soldiers. [They went to where Elijah was], and the officer prostrated himself in front of Elijah, and said to him, “Prophet, I plead with you, be kind to me and my 50 soldiers, and (do not kill us/allow us to remain alive)!
14 Kinapudnona, bimmaba ti apuy manipud langit ket inkisapna dagiti dua a kapitan ken dagiti tattaoda, ngem ita, agbalin koma a kailala ti biagko iti imatangmo.”
[We know that] two times fire came down from the sky and killed officers and the 50 soldiers who were with them. So now, please be kind to me!”
15 Isu a kinuna ti anghel ni Yahweh kenni Elias, “Kumuyogka kenkuana. Saanka nga agbuteng kenkuana.” Isu a timmakder ni Elias ket kimmuyog kenkuana a napan iti ari.
Then the angel from Yahweh said to Elijah, “Go down [and go] with him. Do not be afraid of him.” So Elijah went with them to the king.
16 Saan a nagbayag, kinuna ni Elias kenni Ahazias, “Daytoy ti imbaga ni Yahweh, ‘Nangibaonka kadagiti mensahero a makiuman kenni Baal Zebub, a dios ti Ekron. Gapu kadi ta awan ti Dios ti Israel a pakiumanam? Isu nga ita, saankan a makababa iti pagiddaan nga immulliam; sigurado a mataykanto.”'
[When Elijah arrived, ] he said to the king, “This is what Yahweh says: ‘You sent messengers to go to Ekron to ask Baalzebub, their god, [whether you would recover]. You acted as though [RHQ] there is no God in Israel to consult. So you will not recover from being injured; instead, you are going to die!’”
17 Isu a natay ni Ahazias a kas iti sao ni Yahweh nga imbaga ni Elias. Nagturay ni Joram a kas kasukatna, iti maikadua a tawen ni Johoram nga anak a lalaki ni Josafat nga ari ti Juda, gapu ta awan ti lalaki nga anak ni Ahazias.
So Ahaziah died, which is what Yahweh told Elijah would happen. Ahaziah’s [younger] brother Joram became the new king, when Jehoram, the son of Jehoshaphat, had been ruling Judah for almost two years. Ahaziah’s brother became the king because Ahaziah had no son [to become the king].
18 Maipanggep met kadagiti dadduma a banbanag maipapan kenni Ahazias, saanda kadi a naisurat iti Libro dagiti Pasamak dagiti Ari ti Israel?
[If you want to know about] all the other things that Ahaziah did, they are [RHQ] written in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Israel’.
