2 Kroniku 18

1 Hagi Jehosafati'a tusi feno ne' nemanige'za ra agi nemizageno, agra Ahapu mofa nemofonte ara erinemino, Ahapu'enema tragoteno mani'nia kea huhagerafi'ne.

Jehoshaphat became very wealthy and was greatly honored. But then he arranged for one of his family to marry someone from the family of King Ahab [of Israel].

2 Hagi mago'a kafu evutegeno, Jehosafati'a Ahapu ome kenaku Sameria kumate vigeno Ahapu'a rama'a sipisipi afutamine bulimakao afutamine aheno Jehosafatine, agri'enema vaza vahetmina ne'zana krezamente'ne. Ana nehuno Ahapu'a Ramot-Gileati vahe'ma agranema eme tragomate'nageno ha' ome huzmantesigu Jehosafetina masavenke asami'ne.

Several years later, he went down [from Jerusalem] to Samaria to visit Ahab. Ahab welcomed him and the people who had come with him by slaughtering many sheep and cattle [for a feast].

3 Israeli kini ne' Ahapu'a Juda kini ne' Jehosafatina antahigeno, Nagri'enena vananketa Ramot-Gileati kumate vahera hara ome huzmantegahu'o? higeno kenona huno, Nagrane sondia vahe'nimozanena kagri vahe mani'nonankita, tagra amne kagrira ome kaza huta hara hugahune hu'ne.

Then he asked Jehoshaphat, “Will you [and your army] go with my army to attack Ramoth [city] in [the] Gilead [region]?” Jehoshaphat replied, “My soldiers and I will go to the battle when you tell us to go.”

4 Hianagi Jehosafeti'a huno, Kotazana amama ha'ma hunaku'ma nehu'azana Ra Anumzamo'a na'ane hugahifi antahigeta keteta'e huno Israeli vahe kini ne' Ahapuna asami'ne.

Then he added, “But we should ask Yahweh first, to find out what he wants us to do.”

5 Anage higeno Israeli vahe kini ne' Ahapu'a 400'a kasnampa vahetami zamavare atru huteno amanage huno zamasami'ne, Ramot-Gileati vahera hara ome huzmantenumpi, ome huozmante'nune? Anage'ma hige'za zamagra hu'za, Anumzamo'a kini ne'moka kazampi zmavrentegahianki, marerinka ome hara huzmanto hu'za hu'naze.

So the king of Israel gathered all his 400 prophets and asked them, “Should we go to attack the people of Ramoth [city], or should we not do that?” They replied, “Yes, go [and attack them] because God will enable your army to defeat them.”

6 Hianagi Jehosafati'a mago'ene huno, Ra Anumzamofo kasnampa vahera ama'age mani'nazafi, mago'a mani'nazagu zmantahigegahune huno hu'ne.

But Jehoshaphat asked, “Is there no prophet of Yahweh here whom we can ask?”

7 Anage higeno'a, Israeli vahe kini ne' Ahapu'a huno, Mago kasnampa nera Imla nemofo Mikaia mani'neankita antahigenunkeno, Anumzamofo avesira antahigeno kegahie. Hianagi Imala nemofo Mikaiana tusi navaresra hunentoa kasnampa ne' mani'ne. Na'ankure agra kasnampa kema hiana, nagri'ma nazeri havizahu kege nehie. Higeno Jehosafeti'a huno, Kini ne'moka, e'inahu kea osunka atregeno agra na'ane hugahifi antahimneno.

The king of Israel replied, “There is still one man here, whom we can ask to find out what Yahweh wants, his name is Micaiah, the son of Imlah. But I hate him because he never says anything good about me. He always predicts [that] bad [things will happen to me].” Jehoshaphat replied, “King Ahab, you should not say that!”

8 Anage higeno Israeli vahe kini ne' Ahapu'a eri'za vahe'a hunteno, Ame hunka Imla ne'mofo Mikaiana ome avrenka eno.

So the king of Israel told one of his officials to summon Micaiah immediately.

9 Hanki Israeli kini ne' Ahapu'ene Juda kini ne' Jehosafatikea kini vahe zaza kukena huke tra'znire Sameria kuma kafante witi akru neharazare mani'nake'za, zamavuga ana kasnampa vahetmimo'za kasnampa kea hu'naze.

The king of Israel and the king of Judah were sitting there on their thrones, wearing their royal robes. They were at the place where people threshed grain, near the gate of Samaria [city]. All of [Ahab’s] prophets were standing in front of them, predicting what was going to happen.

10 Hagi Kenana nemofo Zedekai'a ainireti pazivetamina tro huteno amanage hu'ne, Ra Anumzamo'a amanage hie, Siria vahera ama'na pazivetaminteti zamahenka zamaretufenka nevunka, ome zamahe fri vagaregahane hie.

[One of them whose name was] Zedekiah, the son of Kenaanah, had made from iron something that resembled the horns of a bull. He proclaimed to Ahab, “This is what Yahweh says: ‘With horns [like these], your [army] will keep attacking the army of Syria [like a bull attacks another animal], until you completely destroy them.’”

11 Anage hige'za mika kasnampa vahe'mo'za magozahu kasnampa kege nehu'za amanage hu'naze, marerinka Ramot-Giliati vahera hara ome huzmagatero. Na'ankure Ra Anumzamo'a kini ne'moka kazampi zamavarentegahie.

All the other prophets [of Ahab] agreed. They said, “Yes! If you attack Ramoth [city] in [the] Gilead [region], you will be successful, because Yahweh will enable you to defeat them.”

12 Hagi Mikaiama asminaku'ma via eri'za ne'mo'a, Mikaiana asmino, ko, mika kasnampa vahe'mo'za Ahapuna knare kasnampa kegege'za eme asmi'naze. Hanki menina antahio, mago'a kasnampa vahe'mo'zama hu'nazankna hunka kini ne'moka hara agateregahane hunka ome asmio.

The messenger who went to summon Micaiah said to him, “Listen to me! All the other prophets are unitedly predicting that the king will be successful [in the battle]. So be sure to agree with them and say that the king’s army will be successful!”

13 Hianagi Mikaia'a amanage hu'ne, Nagra kasefa huno mani'nea Ra Anumzamo'ma nasami'nea kege'za hugahue.

But Micaiah said, “As surely as Yahweh lives, I will tell the king only what Yahweh tells me to say.”

14 Hagi Mikaia'ma kini ne' Ahapunte'ma ehanatigeno'a Ahapu'a antahigeno, Mikaiaga Ramot-Gileati kumate vahera hara ome huzmantegahufi hara ome huozmantegahue huno Ahapu'a antahigegeno, Mikaia'a huno, Vunka hara ome huzmanto. Na'ankure Ra Anumzamo'a ana maka vahera kazampi zamavarentegahie.

When Micaiah arrived, the king [of Israel] asked him, “Should we go to attack Ramoth, or not?” Micaiah replied, “Sure, go! Yahweh will enable your army to defeat them!”

15 Hianagi kini ne' Ahapu'a Mikaiana asmino, Nama'a zupa Ra Anumzamofo agifina tamage hunka huvempa hunka nasamio nehugenka, kagra havige kasnampa kea nehane?

But King Ahab [realized that Micaiah was lying, so he] said to Micaiah, “I have told you many times that you must always tell only the truth when you say what Yahweh [has revealed to you]!”

16 Huno higeno Mikaia'a anage hu'ne, Israeli vahe'mo'za kvazmimo omani sipisipimozama nehaza hu'za agonaramimpina panini hu'za vu'za eza nehazage'na ke'noe. Ana nehazageno Ra Anumzamo'a huno, Kvazmia omani'neanki, zamatrege'za nozmirega zamarimpa frune vu'za e'za hiho hu'ne.

Then Micaiah replied, “[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.’”

17 Anagema higeno'a Israeli kini ne'mo'a, Jehosafatina asmino, ko'ma kasmi'na ama ne'mo'a knare kasanampa kea osugahianki, nagri'ma nazeri havizahu kasnampa kege hugahie hu'na kasami'noe.

Ahab said to Jehoshaphat, “I told you that he never predicts that anything good will happen to me! He [always] predicts that bad things will happen to me.”

18 Hagi anagema nehakeno'a Mikaia'a huno, Ra Anumzamofonkea antahio, Ra Anumzamo'a kini tra'are monafina mani'negeno, maka monafinka ankero vahe'mo'za Anumzamofona tamaga kazigane, hoga kaziganena mani'nazage'na ke'noe.

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 [standing around him], on his right side and on his left side.

19 Ra Anumzamo'a amanage hu'ne, Iza Israeli kini ne' Ahapuna ome revatga hanigeno Ramot-Gileatia marerinige'za ahegahaze? Anage higeno magoke magokemo'a agra'a antahintahi'a huama hutere hu'ne.

And Yahweh said, ‘Who can persuade Ahab, the king of Israel, 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.

20 Anage hazageno, mago avamu'mo'a Ra Anumzamofo avuga eotino amanage hu'ne, Nagra ome revatga hugahue higeno, Ra Anumzamo'a huno inankna hunka ome revatga hugahane? huno antahigegeno,

“Finally one spirit, [having received a message from Satan], came to Yahweh and said, ‘I can do it!’ “Yahweh asked him, ‘How will you do it?’

21 agra amanage hu'ne, nagra vu'na maka kasnampa vahetmimofo zamagipina havige naneke ome antegahue. Anagema higeno'a Ra Anumzamo'a huno, revatgama hanana kegura tamage hane huno hugahianki, vunka kema hanazana ome huo huno hunte'ne.

“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!’

22 E'ina hu'negu menina antahio, Ra Anumzamo'a havigema hu vahe'ma revatga hu avamu maka kasnampa vaheka'aramimofo zamagipina ante'ne. Na'ankure Ra Anumzamo'a kagrikura hazenke erigahane huno hunte'ne.

“So now [I tell you that] Yahweh has caused your prophets to lie to you. Yahweh has decided that something terrible will happen to you.”

23 Anage'ma higeno'a, Kenana ne'mofo Zedekaia'a eno Mikaiana ameragente eme rupro hunemino amanage hu'ne, Inankna huno Ra Anumzamofo Avamu'mo'a nagrira natreno kagritega vuno nanekea ome kasami'ne?

Then Zedekiah son of Kenaanah 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?”

24 Higeno Mikaia'a kenona huno, Antahio, henkama ha' vahe'mo'zama ha'ma eme hurante'nagenka nomofo agu'afi hunaragintepinka ome frakinka umani'nenka, tamage hu'ne hunka antahigahane.

Micaiah replied, “You will find out for yourself [to which of us Yahweh’s Spirit has truly spoken] on the day when you go into a room of some house to hide [from the Syrian soldiers]!”

25 Anagema higeno'a, Israeli vahe kini ne' Ahapu'a huno, Mikaiana avreta rankumama kegavama hu'nea gavana ne' Amoninte'ene nenamofo Joasainte vuta,

King Ahab commanded [his soldiers], “Seize Micaiah and take him to Amon, the governor of this city, and to my son Joash.

26 kini ne'mo'a amanage hie huta ome hiho, Ama nera kinafi avrenteneta mago zana omita bretine tinke'za aminkeno neneno mani'nena, hara ome hute'na ete a'neno huno hie huta ome asamiho.

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]!”

27 Anante Mikaia'a amanage hu'ne, Hapinti'ma onkahesagenkama kagrama knare hunka esanke'na Ra Anumzamo'a nagripina huvazino kasnampa kea osu'ne hu'na hugahue. Hagi ama nanekea maka vahe'mota antahio!

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]!”

28 Higeno Israeli vahe kini ne' Ahapu'ene Juda vahe kini ne' Jehosafatikea sondia vahe'zania zamavareke Ramot-Gileati mareri'na'e.

So the king of Israel and the king of Judah [led their armies] to Ramoth, in [the] Gilead [region].

29 Hagi Israeli vahe kini ne' Ahapu'a amanage huno Jehosafatinkura hu'ne, Nagra amne vahe kna hu'na ha' kukena hu'na hapi ufregahue. Hanki kagra kini vahe kukena hunka vuo, huno nesmino agra amne kukena huno hapina ufre'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.” So the king of Israel disguised himself, and they both went into the battle.

30 Hagi Siria vahe kini ne'mo'a, karisifi maniza ha'ma nehaza sondia vahete kva vahetminkura huno, Ruga'a vahe'enena hara osuta, Israeli kini ne'ke'za hara hunteho.

The King of Syria told his soldiers who were driving the chariots, “Attack only the king of Israel!”

31 Anage'ma hige'za nevu'za Jehosafatima ome nege'za Israeli vahe kini nere hu'za nehu'za rukrahe hu'za avariri'naze. Hianagi Jehosafati'a kezatino, Ra Anumzamoka naza huo higeno, Anumzamo'a aza huno zamazeri rukrahe hige'za atre'za rurega vu'naze.

So when the soldiers who were driving the Syrian chariots saw Jehoshaphat [wearing the royal robes], they thought “He must be the king of Israel!”

32 Hagi karisifima mani'za e'naza sondia vahe'mo'zama kazama Israeli kini nerompage ru ne'ma nege'za, avarari'zama nevazaretira ome atre'za rukrahe hu'za e'naze.

So they turned to attack him. But when Jehoshaphat cried out, Yahweh helped him, and they realized that he was not the king of Israel. And God caused them to stop pursuing him.

33 Hianagi mago sondia ne'mo'a fatufatu huno kevea ahetreno nevuno, mago kevema ahetreana nozame ahehe kna ha kukenamofo kankmumpinti aheraponeno Israeli vahe kini nera amimizafi ahe'ne. Ana higeno kini ne'mo'a karisima erino'ma nevia nekura huno, hago ra hazenke eruanki hapintira ete rukrahe hunka navrenka 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!”

34 Ana knazupa hara hu'za nevazageno, Israeli kini nera karisifi amagena rentinti huntazageno Siria vahe'ma mani'nazarega avugosa hunte'neno mani'negeno vuno kinaga omesegeno fri'ne.

The battle continued all that day. Ahab was sitting propped up in his chariot, facing the Syrian soldiers. And late in the afternoon, when the sun was setting, he died.
