1 Hagi ana knafina Aramu vahe kini ne' Ben-hadati'a maka sondia vahe'a zamavare atru nehuno, 32'a kini vahetamine erihagerafino hosi afutamine, karisiraminena eri anteraro hu'ne. Hagi ana'ma hutege'za ana maka'moza vu'za Sameria kumate vahera hara ome huzmante'naze.
Ben-Hadad, the king of Syria, gathered all his army, and he persuaded 32 other kings to join him with their armies and horses and chariots. They marched to Samaria [city, the capital of Israel], and surrounded it, and [prepared to] attack it.
2 Hagi ana'ma nehuno'a Ben-hadati'a amanage huno Israeli kini ne' Ahapuntega kea atregeno ana rankumapina ufre'ne. Amanage huno kini ne' Ben-hadati'a hie,
Ben-Hadad sent messengers into the city to King Ahab, to say this to him: “This is what King Ben-Hadad says:
3 Silvane golinema ante'nanana nagri su'a megeno, hentofa a'neka'ane mofavreraminka'anena nagri su'a mani'naze.
‘[You must give to] me all your silver and gold, your (good-looking/most beautiful) wives/women and strongest children.’”
4 Hagi anagema higeno'a, Israeli kini ne'mo'a amanage huno kenona hu'ne, kema hana kante ranimoka kagri suza manugeno, maka zama ante'noana kagri su'a me'ne.
The king of Israel replied to them, “Tell this to King Ben-Hadad: ‘I agree to do what you requested. You can have me and everything that I own.’”
5 Hagi Ben-hadati'ma kema erino vuno eno'ma hu vahe'mo'a, ete mago'ane eno amanage eme hu'ne, Ben-hadati'a amanage huno hie, Nagra ko amanage hu'na huntogeno vu'ne, silvane golinema antenanana nagri su'a megeno, maka a'neraminka'ane mofavreraminka'anena nagri su'a mani'naze.
[The messengers told that to] Ben-Hadad, and he [sent them back with] another message: “I sent a message to you saying that you must give me all your silver and gold and your wives and your children.
6 Hianagi oki'na ama ana knarera, eri'za vahe'ni'aramina huzmantenuge'za vu'za nonka'afinti'ene eri'za vaheka'amofo nontmimpinti'enena maka knare'nare zantamina ome erigahaze.
But [in addition to that], about this time tomorrow, I will send some of my officials to search your palace and the houses of your officials, and to bring to me everything that pleases them.”
7 Anagema higeno'a, Israeli kini ne'mo'a maka Israeli ranra vahetmina kehutru huno amanage huno zamasami'ne, ama ne'mo'ma hazenkema eri fore'ma nehiana keho! Kema hirera Nagra i'o osu'na, ko hu izo huntena silvane goline a'neramini'ane, mofavre naga'nianena amigahue, hu'na hu'noe.
King Ahab summoned all the leaders of Israel, and said to them, “You can see/realize for yourselves that this man is trying to cause much trouble. He sent me a message insisting that I must give him my wives and my children, my silver and my gold, and I agreed to do that.”
8 Hagi anagema hige'za maka ranra vahetamine, maka vahe'mo'za amanage hu'za antahintahia ami'naze, kezmia ontahio.
The leaders and all the other people said to him, “Do not pay any attention to him! Do not do what he is requesting!”
9 Hagi anagema hazageno'a, Ahapu'a amanage huno Ben-hadati'ma hianke'ma erino vuno eno'ma hu vahera zamasami'ne, ranimo kini ne'mo'ma, ese'ma nantahigea zantamina kamigahue hu'na hu'noe. Hianagi henkama nantahigeno huoma hiazana osugahue. Hige'za ana vahe'mo'za Ahapu'ma zamasamia kea Ben-hadatina ome asami'naze.
So Ahab said to Ben-Hadad’s messengers, “Tell the king that I agree to give him the things that he first requested, but I do not agree to allow his officials to take anything that they want from my palace and from the houses of my officials.” So the messengers [reported that to King Ben-Hadad, and they] returned with another message from Ben-Hadad.
10 Anagema hazageno'a, Ben-hadati'a amanage huno kea atregeno ete vu'ne. Nagrama Sameria kuma'ma eri haviza hanugeno'ma kugusopanema fananema osanigeno'a, anumzantmimo'za nahe frigahaze.
In that message he said, “[We will destroy] your city [completely, with the result that] there will not be enough dust and rubble left for each of my soldiers to have one handful! I hope/wish that the gods will strike me dead if we do not do that!”
11 Hagi anagema higeno'a, Israeli kini ne' Ahapu'a amanage huno kea atregeno vu'ne, zahufama ha' kukenama eri renehankrea ne'mo'a, ko'ma ha'ma hugatere'nenia vahe'mo'ma, ha kukenama nehate'noma hiankna kea huno puhaha agerura orugahie.
King Ahab replied [to the messengers], “Tell King Ben-Hadad that a soldier who is putting on his armor [preparing to fight a battle] [MTY] should not boast at that time; he [should wait until] after he wins the battle.”
12 Hagi Ben-hadati'a mago'a kini vahetamine seli nompi aka ti neneno mani'nere Ahapu'ma hiankea eri'za uhanati'naze. Hagi Ben-hadati'ma anankema nentahino'a, sondia vahe'araminkura amanage hu'ne, Ha' hugahunanki retro hiho, hige'za ana Sameria kumapi vahe ha' huzmante'naku retrotra hu'naze.
Ben-Hadad heard that message while he and the other rulers were drinking [wine] in their temporary shelters. He told his men to prepare to attack [MTY] the city. So his men did that.
13 Hagi ana'ma nehazageno'a kasnampa ne'mo'a Israeli kini ne' Ahapunte erava'o huno amanage eme hu'ne, Ra Anumzamo'a amanage huno hie, ha' vahekamo'za tusi'a vahe'ma mani'nazana kagra ke'nano? Menina Nagra ana maka ha' vaheka'aramina kazampi zamavarentenugenka nezamahenka Nagrikura Ra Anumza mani'ne hunka kenka antahinka hugahane.
At that moment, a prophet came to King Ahab and said to him, “This is what Yahweh says: ‘[Do not be at all afraid of] [RHQ] the large enemy army that you see! I will enable your army to defeat them today, and you will know that it is I, Yahweh, [who have the power to do what I say that I will do].’”
14 Anagema higeno'a, Ahapu'a kasnampa nera amanage huno antahige'ne, inankna huno anara hugahie, higeno ana kasnampa ne'mo'a amanage huno kenona hu'ne. Magoke magoke provinsifi sondia vahete'ma kvama hu'naza kasefa sondia vahe'mo'za anara hugahaze. Higeno, iza ana hara agafa hugahie, huno higeno, kagra agafa hugahane huno hu'ne.
Ahab asked, “What group [of our army] will defeat them?” The prophet replied, “The young soldiers who are commanded by the district governors will do it.” The king asked, “Who should lead the attack?” The prophet replied, “You should!”
15 Hagi anankema Ahapu'ma nentahino'a maka ana provinsiramima kvama hu'naza vahetmimofo kasefa sondia vahetmina kehutru higeno, 232'a vahetami atru hu'naze. Hagi ana amefira 7tauseni'a Israeli vahetmina kehuno eritru hu'ne.
So Ahab gathered the young soldiers who were commanded by the district governors. There were 232 of those men. Then he also summoned all the Israeli army. There were [only] 7,000 soldiers.
16 Hagi ferutregema segeno Ben-hadati'a 32'a kini vahetaminena seli nompi mani'ne'za aka tina nene'za agafa hu'za neginagi hu'za mani'naze.
They started to attack at noon, while Ben-Hadad and the other rulers were getting drunk in their temporary shelters.
17 Hagi ana'ma nehu'za mani'nageno'a, provinsifima kvama hu'naza vahetmimofo sondia vahetamimo'za hahunaku esera Sameria rankumapintira atirami'za erimpi hu'za e'naze.

The young soldiers advanced first. Some scouts who had been sent out by Ben-Hadad reported to him, “There are men coming out of Samaria [city]”!
18 Hagi anagema hazageno'a, Ben-hadati'a amanage hu'ne, ha hunaku ege, amnema ege'ma nehanazana zamahe ofri amne zamazeriho.
He said, “It does not matter whether they are coming to fight against us or to ask for peace. Capture them, but do not kill them
19 Hagi provinsima kvama hu'nea vahetmimofo sondia vahetmimo'za egota hazageno, ana zamefira Israeli sondia vahetami e'naze.
The young Israeli soldiers went out of the city to attack [the Syrian army], and the other soldiers in the Israeli army followed them.
20 Hagi ha'ma agafama higeno'a mago mago Israeli sondia vahe'mo'a mago mago ha' vahezmimo'ma ha'ma eme huzmantaza vahetmina zamahe vagare'naze. Ana'ma hazageno'a, Siria sondia vahe'mo'za atre'za frazageno, Israeli sondia vahe'mo'za zamavariri'naze. Hianagi Siria kini ne' Ben-hadati'ene karisima eri'za ha'ma nehaza vahe'mo'zanena hosi agumpi mareri'za fre'naze.
Each [Israeli soldier] killed a [Syrian] soldier. The rest of the Syrian army then ran away, and the Israeli soldiers pursued them. But King Ben-Hadad escaped riding his horse, along with some other men riding horses.
21 Hianagi Israeli sondia vahetmimo'za vu'za hosi afutamine karisiramine, Siria sondia vahetaminena tusi'a vahe zamahe fri'naze.
Then the king of Israel went out [of the city], and he and his soldiers captured [all] the [other Syrian] horses and chariots, and also killed a large number of Syrian soldiers.
22 Hagi ana'ma hutazageno'a kasnampa ne'mo'a kini ne' Ahapunte erava'o huno amanage hu'ne, menima ha'ma hanana antahintahia retro nehunka manio. Na'ankure Siria kini ne'mo'a anaga'a kafufima tra'zamo'ma ete hage knare eno hara eme hugantegahie.
Then that same prophet went to King Ahab and said to him, “Go back and prepare your soldiers, and think carefully about what will be necessary for you to do, because the king of Syria with attack with his army again in the springtime of next year.”
23 Hagi anagema hutege'za Siria kini ne'mofo eri'za vahe'mo'za amanage hu'naze, Israeli vahe anumzantmimo'za agonafi anumzantami mani'nazankiza hankavezmimo'a tagri hankavea azeri agatere'za hara tagateraze. Hianagi agupofima ha'ma hanunana zamagateregahune.
[After the Syrian army was defeated, ] Ben-Hadad’s officials said to him, “The gods that the Israelis [worship] are gods [who live] in the hills. [Samaria is built on a hill, and] that is why their soldiers were able to defeat us. But if we fight against them in the plains/lowlands, we certainly will be able to defeat them.
24 Hagi amana huo, esera 32'a kini vahetmina zamazeri atrenka, zamagri nontera sondia vahetmimofo kva vahetami zamavarento.
So, this is what you should do: You must remove the 32 kings [who are leading your troops] and replace them with army commanders.
25 Ana nehunka zamahe hana'ma hu'nazankna sondia vahetami nezamavarenka, hapima zamahe'nazankna hosi afutamine, karisiramine tamigeta agupofi hara ome huzmantamneno. Hazageno Ben-hadati'a ana antahintahima amiza antahintahirera, knarera huno anaza hu'ne.
Then gather an army like the army that was defeated. Gather an army that has as many horses and chariots as the first army had. Then we will fight the Israelis in the plains/lowlands, and we will surely defeat them.” Ben-Hadad agreed with them, and he did what they suggested.
26 Hagi ete mago kafufima trazama hage knarera, Ben-hadati'a Siria sondia vahetmina zamavareno Afeki kumate Israeli vahe ha' huzmante'naku vu'ne.
In the spring of the following year, he gathered his soldiers and marched [with them] to Aphek [city east of Galilee Lake], to fight against the Israeli army.
27 Hagi ana'ma hazageno'a, Israeli sondia vahetami ke hutru hu'za keonke zazmia retro hute'za Siria sondia vahe'mokizmi ha' huzmante'naku vu'naze. Israeli vahe'mo'za osi'a sipisipi afu kevumoza eri atruma nehazaza hu'za tarefi seli no ome ki'za mani'naze. Hianagi Siria sondia vahe'mo'za ana agupofina mani vite'naze.
The Israeli army was also gathered together, and they were equipped with the things that they needed [for the battle]. Then they marched out and formed two groups facing the Syrian army. Their army was very small; they resembled two small flocks of goats, whereas the Syrian army [was very large and] spread all over the countryside.
28 Hagi ana'ma hazageno'a, Anumzamofo eri'za ne'mo'a Israeli kini ne' tava'onte eno amanage eme hu'ne, amanage huno Ra Anumzamo'a hie, Siria sondia vahe'mo'za amanage haze, Ra Anumzamo'a agupofi anumza omani'neanki, agonafi anumza mani'ne hu'za hazankina, ama tusi'a sondia vahera zamahe hana hanugenka, Nagrikura Ra Anumzane hunka kenka antahinka hugahane huno hu'ne.
A prophet came to King Ahab and said to him, “This is what Yahweh says: ‘The Syrians say that I am a god who lives in the hills, and that I am not a god who lives in the valleys. So I will [show that they are wrong by] enabling your men to defeat this huge army [IDM] [in the valley], and you will know that I, Yahweh, [have done it].’”
29 Hagi 7ni'a knamofo agu'afina Siria sondia vahe'mo'za kantu kaziga seli nona ki'za manizageno, Israeli sondia vahe'mo'za kama kaziga seli nona kiza mani'naze. Hagi namba 7nima hiankna zupa hara agafa higeno, Israeli sondia vahe'mo'za mopafima nevu'za ha'ma nehaza Siria sondia vahera 100 tauseni'a zamahe fri'naze.
The two armies stayed in their tents for seven days, in groups that faced each other. Then, on the seventh day, they started fighting. The Israeli army killed 100,000 Syrian soldiers.
30 Hagi mago'a sondia vahe'mo'za fre'za Afeki rankumapi ufrazageno, ana kumate'ma vihuma hu'za mareri'naza havemo fraguvaziramino 27 tauseni'a sondia vahera zamahe vagare'ne. Hagi Ben-hadati'enena freno viazamo ana kumapina mago nomofona, vahe frakizane huno agu'afinka hunaragintenefi ome fraki'ne.
The other Syrian soldiers ran away into Aphek City. Then the wall of the city collapsed and killed 27,000 more Syrian soldiers. Ben-Hadad also escaped into the city, and hid in the back room of a house.
31 Hagi Ben-hadatina ugota eri'za vahetmimo'za amanage hu'za asami'naze, Israeli kini vahetmina vaheku zamasunku hu kini vahe mani'naze hu'za hazageta antahinone.

His officials went to him and said, “We have heard a report that the Israelis act mercifully. So allow us to go to the king of Israel, wearing coarse sacks around our waists and ropes on our heads/necks [to indicate that we will be his slaves]. Perhaps [if we do that, ] he will allow you to remain alive.”
32 Anage nehu'za zamasunku'ma nehu'zama nentaniza atafa kukena zmafafafina rugagi'za nentaniza, zamanuntera nofi ruganegi'za Israeli kini nete vu'za amanage ome hu'naze, Ben-hadati'a eri'za neka'amo'a amanage hie, muse hugantoanki onahenka natregena mani'neno huno hie. Anagema hazageno'a Israeli kini ne'mo'a amanage hu'ne, Agra nenfuki ofri amne mani'negeta eme nehazo? huno zamantahige'ne.
[The king permitted them to do that, ] so they wrapped coarse sacks around their waists and put ropes on their heads/necks, and they went to the king of Israel and said to him, “Ben-Hadad, who greatly respects you, says, ‘Please do not kill me.’” Ahab replied, “Is he still alive? He is like a brother to me!”
33 Hagi anankema nentahiza e'i knare ke hie hu'za nehu'za amanage hu'naze, Izo Ben-hadati'a negafu'e, hu'za hazageno amanage huno Israeli kini ne'mo'a hu'ne. Hagi vuta ome avreta eho, huno huzmante'ne. Hagi Ben-hadati'ma atiramino egeno'a, (Ahapu'a) higeno karisifi mareri'ne.
Ben-Hadad’s officials were trying to find out if Ahab would act mercifully, and when Ahab said “brother,” they (were optimistic/thought that Ahab would be merciful). So they replied, “Yes, he is like your brother!” Ahab said, “Go and bring him to me.” So they [went and] brought Ben-Hadad to him. [When Ben-Hadad arrived, ] Ahab told him to get in his chariot [and sit with him].
34 Hagi ana karisifi mareriteno'a amanage huno Israeli kini nera asami'ne, Nenfa'ma kagri negafama aheno hanare'nea kumatmina ete maka kaminugenka, nenfa'ma Sameria kumate'ma hu'neaza hunka fenoma mizaseno ete fenoma zagore'ma atre kumara Damaskasi kumate ana zana tro hugahane.

Ben-Hadad said to him, “I will give back to you the towns that my father’s army took from your father. And I will allow you to set up market areas for your merchants in Damascus [my capital], just as my father did in Samaria [your capital].” Ahab replied, “Because you agree to do that, I will not execute you.” So Ahab made an agreement with Ben-Hadad, and allowed him to go home.
35 Hagi ana'ma hutakeno'a, kasnampa vahe kevufinti Ra Anumzamo'a mago kasnampa ne' asamigeno otino mago kasnampa nekura naho huno hu'neanagi, ana ne'mo'a ohe'ne.
Then Yahweh spoke to a member of a group of prophets and said to him, “Ask one of your fellow prophets to strike and wound you.” [So he did what Yahweh told him to do]. [He said to one of his fellow prophets, ‘Strike me and wound me].’ But that man refused to do it.
36 Ana'ma higeno'a ana kasnampa ne'mo'a kema ontahia kasnampa nekura amanage hu'ne, na'ankure kagra Ra Anumzamofo kea ontahi'nankino, menima amareti'ma atrenkama nevnankeno'a laionimo kahe frigahie. Anagema higeno, ana ne'mo'a nevigeno laionimo ahe fri'ne.
So the prophet said to him, “Because you refused to obey what Yahweh told you to do, a lion will kill you as soon as you leave me.” And as soon as he left that prophet, a lion suddenly pounced on him and killed him.
37 Hagi ana'ma hutegeno'a, ete ana kasnampa ne'mo'a mago ne' ome keno amanage hu'ne, Naho, huno higeno ana nera ahe kuzafa hu'ne.
Then the prophet found another prophet, and said to him, “Strike me!” So that man hit him [very hard] and injured him.
38 Hagi ana'ma higeno'a ana kasnampa ne'mo'a vahe'mo'ma kezankura tavravenu avugosafina anakino antene hananeno kante kini ne avega ome anteno mani'ne.
Then the prophet put a large bandage/cloth over his face so that no one would recognize him. Then he went and stood alongside the road, waiting for the king to come by.
39 Hagi kini ne'ma eneviana ana kasnampa ne'mo'a amanage huno asami'ne, Eri'za vahekamo'na tusi'a hapi mani'nogeno mago sondia ne'mo'a mago ha' ne' azerino avreno eme nenamino amanage hu'ne, Ama nera kegava huso'e huo. Hagi kegava huso'e osnankeno'ma katreno'ma fresige'na eme kahe frige, hanugenka kna'amo'a 30 tauseni'a kilo hu'nesnia silva zago mizasegahane,
When the king passed by, the prophet cried out to him, saying “Your majesty, [after I was wounded] while I was fighting in a battle, a soldier brought to me one of our enemies that he had captured, and said to me, ‘Guard this man! If he escapes, you must pay me 3,000 pieces of silver, and if you do not pay that, you will be executed!’
40 Hagi anagema higena ke'onke zamofoma urimete erimetema nehuama'a, ana ne'mo'a natreno fre'ne. Anagema higeno'a, Israeli vahe' kini ne'mo'a amanage hu'ne. E'ina hu'negu anazamofo mizama'a kagrama kema hana kante antenka erigahane.
But while I was busy doing other things, the man escaped!” The king of Israel said to him, “That is your problem! You yourself have said that you deserve to be punished.”
41 Anagema nehigeno'a, ana kasnampa ne'mo'a ame'ama huno ana tavaravea avugosafintira eritregeno, Israeli vahe kini ne'mo'a kasnampa vahetmimpinti mago zamimo'e huno keni hu'ne.
The prophet immediately took off the bandage, and the king of Israel recognized that he was one of the prophets.
42 Hagi kini ne'mo'ma ana kasnampa ne'ma keni'ma higeno'a amanage huno asami'ne, Ra Anumzamo'a amanage huno hie. Ahe frio hu'nama hua nera amne atrankeno vu'ne. E'ina hu'negu agri no erinka kagra frisankeno, vahekamo'za agri vahe'mokizmi no eri'za haviza hugahaze.
And the prophet said to him, “This is what Yahweh says: ‘You have allowed that man [Ben-Hadad] to escape after I commanded you to be sure to execute him! Since you did not do that, you will be killed instead. And your army will be destroyed because you allowed [some of] his army to escape!’”
43 Hagi Israeli vahe' kini ne'mo'ma anankema nentahino'a, avugosamo'a evuramigeno tusi rimpagna nehuno noma'arega Sameria vu'ne.
The king went back home to Samaria, very angry and depressed/dejected.
