2 Ar-ari 3
1 Ita, iti maikasangapulo ket walo a tawen ni Jehosafat nga ari ti Juda, nangrugi nga agturay ni Joram nga anak a lalaki ni Ahab iti Israel idiay Samaria; nagturay isuna iti sangapulo ket dua a tawen.
In the eighteenth year of Jehoshaphat’s reign over Judah, Jehoram son of Ahab became king of Israel, and he reigned in Samaria twelve years.
2 Nagaramid isuna iti dakes iti imatang ni Yahweh, ngem saan a kas iti amana ken iti inana; ta inikkatna ti nasagradoan nga adigi a bato ni Baal nga inaramid ti amana.
And he did evil in the sight of the LORD, but not as his father and mother had done. He removed the sacred pillar of Baal that his father had made.
3 Nupay kasta, kimpet latta isuna kadagiti basol ni Jeroboam nga anak a lalaki ni Nebat, a nakaigapuan ti Israel a nagbasol; saan isuna a timmallikod kadagitoy.
Nevertheless, he clung to the sins that Jeroboam son of Nebat had caused Israel to commit; he did not turn away from them.
4 Ita, ni Mesa nga ari ti Moab ket agtartaraken kadagiti karnero. Nasken a mangted isuna iti ari ti Israel iti 100, 000 a kalakian a karnero ken ti de lana ti 100, 000 nga urbon a karnero.
Now Mesha king of Moab was a sheep breeder, and he would render to the king of Israel a hundred thousand lambs and the wool of a hundred thousand rams.
5 Ngem kalpasan a natay ni Ahab, bimmusor ti ari ti Moab iti ari ti Israel.
But after the death of Ahab, the king of Moab rebelled against the king of Israel.
6 Isu a pinanawan ni Ari Joram ti Samaria iti dayta a tiempo tapno ummongenna ti entero nga Israel a makigubat.
So at that time King Jehoram set out from Samaria and mobilized all Israel.
7 Nangipatulod isuna iti mensahe kenni Jehosafat nga ari ti Juda, a mangibagbaga, “bimmusor ti ari ti Moab kaniak. Kaduaennak kadi a manggubat iti Moab?” Simmungbat ni Jehosafat, “Umayak. Kaslaak met laeng kenka, dagiti tattaok a kas kadagiti tattaom, dagiti kabaliok a kas kadagiti kabaliom.”
And he sent a message to Jehoshaphat king of Judah: “The king of Moab has rebelled against me. Will you go with me to fight against Moab?” “I will go,” replied Jehoshaphat. “I am like you, my people are your people, and my horses are your horses.”
8 Ket kinunana, “Sadino a dalan ti mabalintayo a pangrautan?” Simmungbat ni Jehosafat, “Iti dalan iti let-ang ti Edom.”
Then he asked, “Which way shall we go up?” “By way of the Desert of Edom,” replied Joram.
9 Isu a nagna dagiti ari ti Israel, Juda ken Edom iti pito nga aldaw. Awan ti nasarakanda a danum para iti armadada, para kadagiti kabalioda ken kadagiti dadduma nga ayupda.
So the king of Israel, the king of Judah, and the king of Edom set out, and after they had traveled a roundabout route for seven days, they had no water for their army or for their animals.
10 Isu a kinuna ti ari ti Israel, “Ania daytoy? Pinagtitipon kadi ni Yahweh ti tallo nga ari tapno parmekennatayo ti Moab?”
“Alas,” said the king of Israel, “for the LORD has summoned these three kings to deliver them into the hand of Moab!”
11 Ngem kinuna ni Jehosafat, “Awan kadi ditoy iti profeta ni Yahweh, a mabalintayo a pakiumanan kenni Yahweh?” Maysa kadagiti adipen ti ari ti Israel ti simmungbat ket kinunana, “Adda ditoy ni Eliseo nga anak ni Sapat, ti nangibuyat ti danum iti ima ni Elias.”
But Jehoshaphat asked, “Is there no prophet of the LORD here? Let us inquire of the LORD through him.” And one of the servants of the king of Israel answered, “Elisha son of Shaphat is here. He used to pour water on the hands of Elijah.”
12 Kinuna ni Jehosafat, “Adda kenkuana ti sao ni Yahweh.” Isu a napan ti ari ti Israel, ni Jehosafat, ken ti ari ti Edom a napan kenkuana.
Jehoshaphat affirmed, “The word of the LORD is with him.” So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat and the king of Edom went down to him.
13 Kinuna ni Eliseo iti ari ti Israel, “Ania ti pakibiangak kenka? Mapanka kadagiti profeta ti ama ken inam.” Isu kinuna ti ari ti Israel kenkuana, “Saan, gapu ta pinagtitiponnakami ni Yahweh a tallo nga ari, tapno parmekennakami ti Moab.”
Elisha, however, said to the king of Israel, “What have we to do with each other? Go to the prophets of your father and of your mother!” “No,” replied the king of Israel, “for it is the LORD who has summoned these three kings to deliver them into the hand of Moab.”
14 “Simmungbat ni Eliseo, “Iti nagan ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin-amin, a pagtaktakderak, sigurado a no saanko a raraemen ti presensia ni Jehosafat nga ari ti Juda, saanka a pulos nga ipangag, wenno uray kumita kenka.
Then Elisha said, “As surely as the LORD of Hosts lives, before whom I stand, were it not for my regard for the presence of Jehoshaphat king of Judah, I would not look at you or acknowledge you.
15 Ngem ita, mangiyegkayo kaniak iti tumutokar, “Ket napasamak, idi nagtukar ti tumutokar iti arpa, immay ti pannakabalin ni Yahweh kenni Eliseo.
But now, bring me a harpist.” And while the harpist played, the hand of the LORD came upon Elisha
16 Kinunana, “Ibagbaga ni Yahweh daytoy, 'Agkalikayo kadagiti kanal iti daytoy a namaga a karayan ti tay-ak.'
and he said, “This is what the LORD says: ‘Dig this valley full of ditches.’
17 Ta kastoy ti ibagbaga ni Yahweh, 'Saankayonto a makakita iti angin, wenno makakita iti tudo, ngem mapnonto iti danum daytoy a karayan ti tay-ak, ket uminumkayonto, dakayo ken dagiti dingwenyo ken dagiti amin nga ayupyo.'
For the LORD says, ‘You will not see wind or rain, but the valley will be filled with water, and you will drink—you and your cattle and your animals.’
18 Nalaka laeng daytoy a banag iti imatang ni Yahweh. Pagballigiennakayonto pay kadagiti Moabita.
This is a simple matter in the sight of the LORD, and He will also deliver the Moabites into your hand.
19 Rautenyonto ti tunggal nasarikedkedan a siudad ken tunggal napintas a siudad, pukanenyonto ti tunggal kayo nga agbunga, pullatanyonto dagiti amin nga ubbog, ken dadaelenyonto ti tunggal paset ti nadam-eg a daga babaen kadagiti batbato.”
And you shall attack every fortified city and every city of importance. You shall cut down every good tree, stop up every spring, and ruin every good field with stones.”
20 Isu nga iti agsapa, iti tiempo ti panangidatag iti daton, nagayus ti danum nga aggapu iti Edom; nalapunos ti daga iti danum.
The next morning, at the time of the morning sacrifice, water suddenly flowed from the direction of Edom and filled the land.
21 Ita, idi nangngeg dagiti amin a Moabita nga umay makiranget dagiti ari kadakuada, nagguummongda, dagiti amin a makabael a mangisuot iti kabal, ket nagtakderda iti pagbeddengan.
Now all the Moabites had heard that the kings had come up to fight against them. So all who could bear arms, young and old, were summoned and stationed at the border.
22 Nagriingda a nasapa iti bigat ket nasilnagan iti init ti danum. Idi nakita dagiti Moabita ti danum nga adda iti batogda, a nalabbaga a kas iti dara.
When they got up early in the morning, the sun was shining on the water, and it looked as red as blood to the Moabites across the way.
23 Impukkawda, “Dara daytoy! Nadadaelen dagiti ari, ket nagpipinnatayda iti tunggal maysa! Isu nga ita, Moab, intayo agsamsam kadakuada!”
“This is blood!” they exclaimed. “The kings have clashed swords and slaughtered one another. Now to the plunder, Moab!”
24 Idi nakadanonda iti kampo ti Israel, kinellaat ida dagiti Israelita ket dinarupda dagiti Moabita, a nagtataray manipud kadakuada. Kinamat ti armada ti Israel dagiti Moabita agingga iti kabangibang a daga, ket pinapatayda ida.
But when the Moabites came to the camp of Israel, the Israelites rose up and attacked them, and they fled before them. So the Israelites invaded their land and struck down the Moabites.
25 Dinadael ti Israel dagiti siudad, ken nangipurruak ti tunggal tao iti bato kadagiti nasayaat a paset ti daga ket pinunnoda dagiti nadam-eg a taltalon. Pinullatanda dagiti amin nga ubbog ken pinukanda dagiti amin a nasasayaat a kayo, malaksid laeng iti Kir Hareset, a napaderan kadagiti batbato. Ngem rinaut daytoy dagiti soldado a nakaigam kadagiti pallatibong.
They destroyed the cities, and each man threw stones on every good field until it was covered. They stopped up every spring and cut down every good tree. Only Kir-haraseth was left with stones in place, but men with slings surrounded it and attacked it as well.
26 Idi nakita ni Ari Mesa iti Moab a naabakdan iti gubat, inkuyogna ti pito gasut a mannakigubat a nakakampilan tapno makalasatda a mapan iti ari ti Edom, ngem saanda a nagballigi.
When the king of Moab saw that the battle was too fierce for him, he took with him seven hundred swordsmen to break through to the king of Edom, but they could not prevail.
27 Ket innalana ti inauna nga anakna, a sumaruno koma kenkuana nga agturay, ket indatonna isuna a kas daton a mapuoran iti pader. Isu a naadda ti nakaro a pungtot a maibusor iti Israel, ket pinanawan ti armada ti Israel ni Ari Mesa ket nagsublida kadagiti bukodda a daga.
So he took his firstborn son, who was to succeed him, and offered him as a burnt offering on the city wall. And there was great fury against the Israelites, so they withdrew and returned to their own land.
