1 Kva 22
1 Hagi 3'a kafumofo agu'afina Siria vahe'ene Israeli vahe'enena hara osu mani'naze.
For almost three years there was no war between Syria and Israel.
2 Hianagi namba 3 kafurera Juda kini ne Jehosafeti'a Israeli kini ne' kenaku e'ne.
Then King Jehoshaphat, who ruled Judah, went to [visit] King Ahab, who ruled Israel.
3 Hagi Israeli kini ne'mo'a ugota eri'za vahe'araminkura amanage huno zamasami'ne, Ramot-gileati kumara tagri kuma'ma me'negeta Siria vahe kini nemofo azampinti'ma e'ori'nonana tamagra ontahi'nazo?
[While they were talking, ] Ahab said to his officials, “Do you realize that the Syrians are still occupying our city of Ramoth in [the] Gilead [region]? And we are doing nothing to retake that city!”
4 Hagi Ahapu'a rukrahe huno Jehosafetina antahige'ne, kagra naza hanankena hara hu'na Ramot-gileati kumara erigahufi? Anagema higeno'a, Jehosafeti'a Israeli kini nekura amanage hu'ne, sondia vahe'niaramine hosi afuni'amozanena tro hu'za mani'nazanki na'a huogu nehane?
Then he turned to Jehoshaphat and asked, “Will your [army] join my [army] to fight against the people of Ramoth [and retake that city]?” Jehoshaphat replied, “[Certainly] I [will do whatever] you [want], and you may command my troops. You may take my horses into battle, also.”
5 Hianagi Juda kini ne' Jehosafati'a huno, ese'zana Ra Anumzamo'a na'ane hugahifi antahigeta keteta'e huno hu'ne.
Then he added, “But we should ask Yahweh first, to find out what he wants us to do.”
6 Hagi anagema higeno'a, Israeli vahe kini ne'mo'a 400'a kasnampa vahetami kehige'za etru hazageno amanage huno zamantahige'ne, Ramot-Gileati vahera marerina hara ome huzmantenufi ome huozmante'nue, huno zamantahigege'za amanage hu'naze, amne marerinka hara ome huzmanto. Na'ankure Ra Anumzamo'a kazampi zamavarentena hara huzmagateregahane.
So Ahab summoned about 400 of his prophets together, and he asked them, “Should my [army] go to fight the people in Ramoth and retake that city, or not?” They answered, “Yes, go [and attack them], because God will enable your [army] to defeat them.”
7 Hianagi Jehosafeti'a amanage hu'ne, mago kasnampa vahera mani'nefi, asi'age mani'naze huno zamantahige'ne.
But Jehoshaphat asked, “Is there no prophet of Yahweh here whom we can ask?”
8 Anagema higeno'a, Israeli vahe kini ne'mo'a amanage huno hu'ne, Ra Anumzamofo antahintahima erisunana mago kasnampa nera Imla nemofo Mikaia'a mani'ne. Hianagi nagra nagote'nentoa nere. Na'ankure agra knare kasanampa kea nosianki, havi kasnampa kege nagritera hutere nehie. Anagema higeno'a, Jehosafeti'a amanage huno hu'ne, kini ne'moka e'inagea osunka na'ane agra hugahifi antahisu'e.
The King of Israel replied, “There is one man we can talk to. We can ask him if he can find out what Yahweh wants. His name is Micaiah; he is the son of Imlah. But I hate him, because when he (prophesies/tells what God says to him) he never says [that] anything good [will happen] to me. He always predicts [that] bad things [will happen to me].” Jehoshaphat replied, “King Ahab, you should not say that!”
9 Anagema higeno'a, Israeli vahe kini ne'mo'a eri'za vahe'a kehigeno egeno amanage huno hunte'ne, Imla nemofo Mikaiana ame hunka ome avrenka eno.
So the king of Israel told one of his officers to summon Micaiah immediately.
10 Higeno Israeli vahe kini ne' Ahapu'ene Juda vahe kini ne' Jehosafetikea kini kukenazini huteke Sameria kuma kafamofo tava'onte witi neharaza kumapi kini trate mani'na'e. Hagi maka kasnampa vahetmimo'za zanavuga mani'ne'za kasnampa kea hu'naze.
The king of Israel and the king of Judah were wearing their (royal robes/robes that showed that they were kings). They were sitting on thrones at the place where people threshed grain, near the gate of Samaria [city]. All of Ahab’s prophets were standing in front of the kings, (prophesying/predicting what was going to happen).
11 Hagi mago'zmimo Kenana nemofo Zedekaia'a ainire pazive tro huno eri'neno amanage hu'ne, Ra Anumzamo'a huno ama'na pazivenu Siria vahera nezamarenka, zamaretufenka nevunka zamahe hana hugahane huno hie.
One of them, whose name was Zedekiah, the son of Kenaanah, had made from iron [something that resembled] horns of a bull. Then he proclaimed [to Ahab], “This is what Yahweh says: ‘With horns like these your [army] will keep attacking the Syrians [like a bull attacks another animal] [MET], until you completely destroy them!’”
12 Anagema higeno'a, ana maka kasnampa vahe'mo'za mago zamarimpa nehu'za amanage hu'naze, marerinka Ramot-giliati vahera hara ome huzmagatero. Na'ankure Ra Anumzamo'a ana maka vahera kini ne'moka kazampi zamavarentegahie.
All the [other] prophets [of Ahab] agreed. They said, “Yes! If you go up to attack Ramoth [city] in [the] Gilead [region], you will be successful, because Yahweh will enable you to defeat them!”
13 Hagi Mikaiama avrenaku'ma vu'nea ne'mo'ma ome avrenoma ne-eno'a amanage huno kasnampa ne' Mikaiana asami'ne, antahio, kini ne'mo'ma zamavare atruma hu'nea kasnampa vahe'mo'za knare kege kini nera asami'naze. Hagi kagrama vanunka, ana hunka knare kege kini nera ome asamio.
Meanwhile, the messenger who went to summon Micaiah said to him, “Listen to me! All the other prophets are predicting that the king’s army will defeat the Syrians. So be sure that you agree with them and say (what will be favorable/that the king’s army will be successful).”
14 Hianagi Mikaia'a amanage huno kenona hu'ne, Nagra kasefa huno mani'nea Ra Anumzamo'ma nasami'nia kege'za hugahue, huno hu'ne.
But Micaiah replied, “As surely as Yahweh lives, I will tell him only what Yahweh tells me to say.”
15 Hagi Mikaia'ma kini ne' Ahapu avugama ehanatigeno'a, Ahapu'a amanage huno antahige'ne, Mikaiaga Ramot-giliati vahera marerina hara ome huzmantenufi hara ome huozmantenue? Higeno Mikaia'a amanage huno kenona hu'ne, vunka hara ome huzmanto. Na'ankure Ra Anumzamo'a ana maka vahera kazampi zamavarentegahie.
When Micaiah came to Ahab, Ahab asked him, “Micaiah, should we go to fight against [the people of] Ramoth, or not?” Micaiah replied, “Sure, go! Yahweh will enable your army to defeat them!”
16 Hianagi kini ne'mo'a amanage huno kenona hu'ne, nama'a zupa Ra Anumzamofo kema huvempa hunka tamagea nasamiogura kantahia negoe?
But King Ahab [realized that Micaiah was (lying/being sarcastic), so he] said to Micaiah, “I have told you [RHQ] many times that you must always tell only the truth when you say what Yahweh [has revealed to you]!”
17 Anagema higeno'a, Mikaia amanage huno hu'ne, Israeli vahe'mo'za kvazmimo'ma omani sipisipimo'zama nehazaza hu'za agonaramimpina panani hu'za vu'za eza nehazage'na ke'noe.

So Micaiah said to him, “[The truth is that] in a vision I saw all the troops of Israel scattered on the mountains. They seemed to be like sheep that did not have a shepherd. And Yahweh said, ‘Their master has been killed. So tell them all to go home peacefully.’”
18 Anagema higeno'a Israeli vahe kini ne'mo'a amanage huno Jehosafatina asami'ne, Nagra ko'ma kasami'na, nagritera knare kasnampa kea osugosianki, havi kasnampa kege hugahie hu'na kasami'noe.
Ahab said to Jehoshaphat, “I told you [RHQ] that he never predicts [that] anything good [will happen to me]! He [always] predicts [that] bad things [will happen to me].”
19 Hagi Mikaia'a amanage huno hu'ne, E'ina hu'negu Ra Anumzamo'ma hiankea kama antahiho. Hagi kogeno Ra Anumzamo'a kini tra'are monafi mani'negeno monafi Sondia vahe'amo'za tamaga kazigane, hoga kaziganena mani kagi'nazageno,
But Micaiah continued, saying, “Listen to what Yahweh showed to me! [In a vision] I saw Yahweh sitting on his throne, with all the armies of heaven surrounding him, on his right side and on his left side.
20 amanage hu'ne, Iza Ahapuna ami'mira hanigeno'a, Ramot-giliatia vanige'za ahegahaze? Hagi anagema higeno mago'mo'a ru antahintahi nenteana, mago'mo'a ru antahintahi nenteana hu'naze.
And Yahweh said, ‘Who can persuade Ahab to go to fight against the people of Ramoth, in order that he may be killed there?’ Some suggested one thing, and others suggested something else.
21 Hagi ana'ma nehazafintira mago avamu'mo Ra Anumzamofo avuga eazamo, nagra ami'mira hugahue.
Finally one [evil] spirit came to Yahweh and said, ‘I can do it!’
22 Anagema higeno'a, Ra Anumzamo'a amanage huno asami'ne, Inankna hunka anara hugahane, huno antahigegeno agra ana avamu'mo'a amanage huno hu'ne, nagra ana maka kasnampa vahe zamagipi huvazina havige hugahue. Anagema higeno'a, tamage hunka revatga hanankeno keka'a antahigahianki, vunka ana ome huo.
Yahweh asked him, ‘How will you do it?’ The spirit replied, ‘I will go and inspire all of Ahab’s prophets to tell lies.’ Yahweh said, ‘You will be successful; go and do it!’
23 E'ina hu'negu ko, Ra Anumzamo'a menina kazeri haviza hunaku havige avamutmi ama kasnampa vahe'mofo zamagipina antenege'za, hazenke kampi kavrenentaze.
So now [I tell you that] Yahweh has caused all of your prophets to lie to you. Yahweh has decided that something terrible will happen to you.”
24 Hagi anagema higeno'a Kenana nemofo Zedekaia'a eazamo Mikaiana ameregente eme rupro huno neheno amanage hu'ne, inankna huno nagripintira Ra Anumzamofo avamu'mo'a natreno kema ome hugaminakura vie?
Then Zedekiah walked over to Micaiah and slapped him on his face. He said, “Do you think that Yahweh’s Spirit left me in order to speak to you?” [RHQ]
25 Anagema higeno'a, Mikaia amanage huno asami'ne, nompima hunaragima ante'nafima ome framakisana zupa e'ire antahi ama hugahane.
Micaiah replied, “You will find out for yourself [which of us Yahweh’s Spirit has truly spoken to] on the day when you go into a room of some house to hide [from the Syrian troops]!”
26 Hagi anagema higeno'a, Israeli vahe kini ne' Ahapu'a amanage huno hu'ne, Mikaiana azerita rankumamofo gavana ne' Amoninte'ene, kini ne'mofo mofavre Joasinte avreta vuta,
King Ahab commanded [his soldiers], “Seize Micaiah and take him to Amon, the governor of this city, and to my son Joash.
27 kini ne'mo'a amanage hie huta ome asamiho, ama nera avreta kina hunte'neta tine bretinena osi'a amitere nehinke'na hatetira a'neno, huno hie huta ome zanasamiho.
Tell them that I have commanded that they should put this man in prison and give him only bread and water. Do not give him anything else to eat until I return safely from the battle!”
28 Hianagi Mikaia'a amanage huno kenona hu'ne, Kagrama knare'ma hunka hatetima esunka, nagrikura Ra Anumzamofo kea erino eme osune hunka hugahane. Anage nehuno manigagi'naza vahera amanage huno zamasami'ne, Amama huankeni'a antahinteta maniho.
Micaiah replied, “If you return safely, [it will be clear that] it was not Yahweh who told me what to say to you!” Then he said [to all those who were standing there], “Do not forget what I have said [to King Ahab]!”
29 Hagi ana'ma hutegeno'a, Israeli vahe kini ne' Ahapu'ene, Juda vahe kini ne' Jehosafetikea hahunaku Ramot-giliati kumate mareri'na'e.
So the King of Israel and the King of Judah [led their armies] to Ramoth, in [the] Gilead [region].
30 Hagi Israeli vahe kini ne'mo'a amanage huno Jehosafatinkura hu'ne, Hate'ma vanu'ana, nagra ru kukena hu'na ru vahe kna hu'na vugahuanki, kagra kini kukenaka'a hunka vuo. Anage nehuno Israeli vahe kini ne'mo'a amne kukena nehuno, ru vahe kna huno hatera vu'ne.
King Ahab said to Jehoshaphat, “I will put on different clothes, [in order that no one will recognize that I am the king]. But you should wear your (royal robe/robe that shows that you are a king).” So Ahab disguised himself, and they both went into the battle.
31 Hagi Siria kini ne'mo'a, karisima erino'ma ha'ma nehia sondia vahetmima kegavama nehaza vahera 32'a kva vahe amanage huno huzmante'ne, ha'ma hanazana sondia vahero zamagima me'nesia kva vahetminkura tamagesa ontahita, Israeli kini neke'za hara hunteho.
The King of Syria told this to his thirty-two men who were driving the chariots: “Attack only the king of Israel!”
32 Hagi anagema higeno'a karisima eri'za ha'ma nehaza sondia vahetaminte'ma vugagotama hu'naza sondia vahe'mo'za Jehosafetima nege'za amanage hu'naze, Israeli vahe kini nera antu'ne hu'za nehu'za rukrahe hu'za avariri'naze. Hianagi Jehosafeti'a ranke huno kezana atigeno,
So when the men who were driving the Syrian chariots saw Jehoshaphat [wearing (his royal robes/clothes that showed he was the king)], they pursued him. They shouted, “There is the king of Israel!” But when Jehoshaphat cried out,
33 karisima eri'za ha'ma nehaza sondia vahete'ma vugotama hu'naza Sondia vahetmimo'za kazana Israeli kini nerompage ru ne' rotago hu'za nevazaretira atre'za rukrahe hu'za e'naze.
they realized that he was not the king of Israel. So they stopped pursuing him.
34 Hianagi mago ne'mo'a fatufatu huno Israeli Sondia vahera kevea zamaheno virega, Israeli kini nera ha' kukena'amo'a emete'nea kampi mago kevea ahe'ne. Ana'ma higeno'a, karisima erino avreno'ma nevia nekura amanage hu'ne, Tavata kevea hago nahazanki hapintira navrenka rukrahe hunka atiraminka vuo.
But one [Syrian] soldier shot an arrow at Ahab, without knowing that it was Ahab. The arrow struck Ahab between the places where the parts of his armor joined together. Ahab told the driver of his chariot, “Turn the chariot around and take me out of here! I have been severely wounded!”
35 Higeno ana kini nera karisifi retru rentene'za Siria vahetaminena hara nehazageno kinaga ome segeno fri'ne. Hagi ana kini ne'mofo koramo'a ana karisifina avite'ne.
The battle continued all the day. Ahab was sitting propped up in his chariot, facing the Syrian troops. The blood from his wound ran down to the floor of the chariot. And late in the afternoon he died.
36 Hagi zagema ufre'zama higeno'a mago'a vahe'mo'za kezati'za amanage hu'naze, hagi hara atreta maka vahe'mota kumatamirega vuta etma hiho, hu'za hu'naze.
Just as the sun was going down, someone among the Israeli troops shouted, “[The battle is ended!] Everyone should return home!”
37 Ana higeno kini nera frige'za Sameria eri'za e'za eme asente'naze.
So king Ahab died, and they took his body [in the chariot] to Samaria [city] and buried his body there.
38 Ana nehu'za Sameria me'nea tirute kini ne'mofo korana karisifintira sese nehazageno Ra Anumzamo'ma hu'neankante anteno kramo'za korama'a hune hane nehazageno savri a'neramimo'za ana tirupina tina fre'naze.
They washed his chariot alongside the pool in Samaria, a pool where the prostitutes bathed. And dogs [came and] licked the king’s blood, just like Yahweh had predicted would happen.
39 Hagi Ahapu'ma kinima mani'nea knafima fore'ma hu'nea zantamine, agrama kinima mani'neno'ma hu'nea zantamine, elefanti afu'mofo zaza aveteti (ivory) konaririma hunte'nea nomofo agenkene, rankumatmima tro'ma hu'nea agenkenena Israeli kini vahetmimofo agenkema krente'naza avontafepi krente'naze.
The account/record of the other things that happened while Ahab was ruling, and about the palace decorated with much ivory [that they built for him], and the cities that were built for him, was written in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Israel’.
40 Hagi Ahapu'a frigeno nemofo Ahazia nefa nona erino kinia mani'ne.
When Ahab died, his body was buried where his ancestors were buried. Then his son Ahaziah became king.
41 Hagi kini ne' Ahapu'ma 4'a kafuma kinima manigeno'a, Asa nemofo Jehosafati'a Juda vahe kinia efore huno mani'ne.
Before King Ahab died, when he had been ruling in Israel for four years, Asa’s son Jehoshaphat started to rule in Judah.
42 Hagi Jehosafati'a 35'a kafu hu'neno, kinia efore huno mani'neno, 25'a kafufi Jerusalemi kumatera kinia mani'ne. Hagi nerera'a Silhi'e nehaza ne'mofo mofakino agi'a Azuba'e.
Jehoshaphat was thirty-five years old when he started to rule, and he ruled in Jerusalem for twenty-five years. His mother was Azubah, the daughter of Shilhi.
43 Hagi Jehosafati'a, nafa'amo'ma Asa'ma hu'nea avu'ava avaririno knare kini mani'ne. Ra Anumzamofo avurera knare avu'ava hu'ne. Hianagi kinima mani'neno'a havi anumzante'ma mono hunentaza kumara eri havizana osu'ne. Ana hu'negu vahetmimo'za havi anumzantera kresramna vunente'za mnanentake zana kre mnanevu'za monora hunte'naze.
Jehoshaphat was a good king, just like his father Asa had been. He did things that pleased Yahweh. But while he was king, he did not remove all the pagan altars [that the people had built] on the hilltops. So the people continued to offer sacrifices [to idols] on those altars and burned incense there.
44 Hagi Jehosafati'a Israeli vahe' kini ne'enena hara osuno eri mago arimpa huno fru huno mani'ne.
Jehoshaphat also made [a] peace [agreement] with the king of Israel.
45 Hagi Jehosafeti'ma kinima mani'negeno'ma fore'ma hu'nea zantamine, hanavenentake zama nehuno, ha'ma hu'nea agenkenena Israeli kini vahetmimofo agenkema krenentaza avontafepi krente'naze.
All the other things that happened while Jehoshaphat was ruling, and the great things that he did and the victories his [troops] won, are written in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Judah’.
46 Hagi havi anumzama mono'ma hunentaza kumapima monko'zama nehaza vene'nene, a'enenena Jehosafati nefa, Asa'ma zamahe hana'ma hige'za mago mago'ma vahe'ma mani'nazana, Jehosafati'a zamahe hana hu'ne.
Jehoshaphat’s father Asa [had tried to expel] the male prostitutes that stayed at the pagan shrines, but some of them were still there. Jehoshaphat got rid of them.
47 Hagi e'i ana knafina Idomu vahe kinia omani'neankino, kini ne'mofo amefiga'ama hu'nea ne' Jehosafati'a huntegeno Idomu vahera kegava huzmante'ne.
At that time, there was no king in Edom; a ruler who had been appointed by Jehoshaphat ruled there.
48 Hagi Jehosafati'a hagerimpima vuno Ofiri kumatetima golima omerino'ma esia venteramina tro hu'neanagi, ana kumatera ovu'naze. Na'ankure ana venteramimo'za Ezion-geber kumate haviza hu'za me'naze.
Jehoshaphat [ordered some Israeli men to] build a fleet/group of ships to sail [south] to [the] Ophir [region] to get gold. But they were wrecked at Ezion-Geber/Elath, so the ships never sailed.
49 Hagi ana'ma higeno'a, Ahapu nemofo Ahazia'a amanage huno Jehosafatinkura hu'ne, atrege'za eri'za vahe'nimo'za venteka'afina viho huno hu'ne. Hianagi Jehosafati'a ke'a ontahi'ne.
Before the ships were wrecked, Ahab’s son Ahaziah suggested to Jehoshaphat, “Allow my sailors to go with your sailors,” but Jehoshaphat refused.
50 Hagi Jehosafeti'a frige'za agehe'mofoma asezmante'naza matipi negeho Deviti kumapi asente'naze. Hagi nemofo Jehoramu agri nona erino kinia mani'ne.
When Jehoshaphat died, his [body] was buried where his ancestors were buried in [Jerusalem, ] the city where King David [had ruled]. Then Jehoshaphat’s son Jehoram became king.
51 Hagi Jehosafati'ma 17ni'a kafuma Juda vahe kini nemani'negeno'a, Ahapu nemofo Ahazia'a kinia efore huno Sameria kumate mani'neno tare kafufi Israeli vahe kinia manino kegava hu'ne.
Before King Jehoshaphat died, when he had been ruling in Judah for 17 years, Ahab’s son Ahaziah began to rule in Israel. Ahaziah ruled in Samaria for two years.
52 Hianagi Ahazia'a Ra Anumzamofo avufina nerera nefa avu'ava avaririno kefo avu'ava nehuno, Nebati nemofo Jeroboamu hu'nea avu'ava avaririno Israeli vahera zamazeri kumipina zamatre'ne.
He did many things that Yahweh considered to be evil, doing the [evil] things that his father and mother had done and the evil things that Jeroboam had done—the king who had led all the Israeli people to sin [by worshiping idols].
53 Hagi nefa'ma hu'neaza huno Ahazia'a Bali havi anumzamofo avaririno monora hunenteno, Ra Anumzana Israeli vahe Anumzamofona azeri arimpa ahe'ne.
Ahaziah bowed in front of Baal’s idol and worshiped it. That caused Yahweh, the God who was the true God of the Israeli people, to become very angry, just as Ahaziah’s father had caused Yahweh to become angry.
