2 Kva 3

1 Hagi Jehosafati'ma Juda naga'mokizmi kinima mani'negeno vuno 18nima hia kafufina, Ahapu nemofo Joramu'a Israeli vahe kinia fore huno Sameria kumatera mani'neno 12fu'a kafufi Israeli vahera kegava hu'ne.

After Jehoshaphat had been ruling Judah for almost 18 years, Ahab’s son Joram became the king of Israel. He ruled in Samaria [city] for twelve years.

2 Ra Anumzamofo avurera Joramu'a havi avu'avaza hu'ne. Hianagi nefake nererake'ma tusi'a havi zanavu zanava'ma hu'na'a avamentera osu'ne. Nefake nererakema Bali havi anumzamofo amema'ama havere'ma tro'ma hunte'na'ana eri haviza hutre'ne.

He did things that Yahweh considered to be evil, but he did not do as much evil as his father and mother had done, and he got rid of the pillar [for worshiping] Baal which his father had made.

3 Agra e'ina hu'neanagi Nebati nemofo Jeroboamu'ma Israeli vahe'ma huzamaveri nehuno, zamavareno vu'nea kumi avu'ava hu'ne. Jeramu'a ana havi avu'ava zana atreno amefira huomi'ne.

But he committed the sins that [King] Jeroboam had committed and which led the Israeli people to sin, and he did not stop committing those sins.

4 Hagi Israeli vahe'mo'za hakare'a kafuma evu'nea knafina Moapu vahera kva huzmante'naze. Hagi Moapu kini ne' Mesa'a 100 tauseni'a anenta ve sipisipi afutami Israeli kini nera nemino, azoka'ama hareno eri'zana 100 tauseni'a sipisipi afutamimofo azokatami Israeli kini nera maka kafurera amitere hu'ne.

Mesha, the king of Moab, raised sheep. [Every year] he was forced to give 100,000 lambs and the wool from 100,000 rams to the king of Israel, [because his kingdom was controlled by the king of Israel].

5 Hianagi Israeli kini ne' Ahapu'ma fritegeno'a, Moapu kini ne'mo'a Israeli kini ne'mofonkea ontahino takisia zagoa omi'ne.

But after King Ahab died, Mesha rebelled against the king of Israel.

6 Higeno kini ne' Joramu'a Sameria kumara atreno maka Israeli sondia vahera zamazeri retro hu'ne.

So King Joram left Samaria and gathered together all his soldiers.

7 Anante Joramu'a Juda kini ne' Jehosafatina amanage huno nanekea atrente'ne, Moapu kini ne'mo'a keni'a ontahigu, kagra knare eme naza hananketa hara marerita ome huntegahufi! Higeno amne kagranena vugahue. Hagi na'anema hnanana kagri kamage antegahue. Nagri sondia vahe'ene hosi afutaminu'enena kagria kaza hugahue.

Then he sent this message to Jehoshaphat, the king of Judah: “The king of Moab has rebelled against me. So will your army join my army and fight against the army of Moab?” Jehoshaphat replied, “Yes, we will help you. We are ready to do whatever you want us to. My soldiers and my horses are ready to help you.”

8 Hianagi ina kazigati vuta hara ome huntegahu'e, higeno Joramu'a ke nona'a huno, Idomu hagege ka'ma kokampima vu'nea karanka vugahune.

He asked, “On which road shall we march to attack them?” Joram replied, “We will go [south to Jerusalem, where your army will join us. Then we will all go south of the Dead Sea, and then turn north] through the Edom Desert.”

9 Hige'za Israeli kini neki, Juda kini neki, Idomu kini ne'ma hu'za sondia vahe'zamia zamavare'za vu'naze. Hagi anankama vu'naza kamo'a zaza hu'nege'za 7ni'a zagefi vazageno, ti zamimo'a vagarege'za sondia vahe'ene afutamimo'za tima nezanku tusiza hu'naze.

So the king of Israel [and his army] went with the kings of Judah and Edom [and their armies]. They marched for seven days. Then there was no water left for their soldiers or for their animals that carried supplies.

10 Anama hazageno Israeli kini ne' Joramu'a amanage hu'ne, Ra Anumzamo'a tagrira 3'a kini vahe'mota, Moapu kini ne' azampi tavrentenaku tazeri atru nehifigure huno hu'ne.

The king of Israel exclaimed, “This is a terrible situation! [It seems that] Yahweh will allow the three of us to be captured by [the army of] [MTY] Moab!”

11 Hianagi Jehosafati'a Joramuna amanage huno antahige'ne, Amafina magora Ra Anumzamofo kasnampa nera mani'nefi omani'ne, kesnunkeno Ra Anumzamofona antahigenigeno na'a hiho huno asminigeno eme tasamigahifi antahisanune. Anage higeno Israeli kini ne'mofo eri'za ne'mo'a, ana kemofo nona'a amanage hu'ne, Korapara kasnampa ne' Elaijama azama huno katoma hunemia nera Safati nemofo Elisa'a mani'ne.

Jehoshaphat said, “Is there a prophet here who can ask Yahweh for us [what we should do]?” One of Joram’s army officers said, “Elisha, the son of Shaphat, is here. He was Elijah’s assistant.” [IDM]

12 Hagi Jehosafati'a ana kema nentahino'a amanage hu'ne, Ra Anumzamo'ma hanianke tasamigahie hige'za, Juda kini ne' Jehosafatiki, Israeli kini ne' Jehoramuki, Idomu kini ne'ma hu'za Elisana ome kenaku urami'naze.

Jehoshaphat said, “[It will be good to ask him, because] he speaks what Yahweh tells him to say.” So those three kings went to Elisha.

13 Anante Elisa'a Israeli kini nera amanage huno asmi'ne, Na'a kagrira hugantenaku hugenka amarera neane? Negafane negreragizni kasnampa vahetega vuo. Hianagi Israeli kini ne' Jehoramu'a amanage hu'ne, Tagrama e'nonana, Ra Anumzamo'a ama ana maka 3'a kini nagara tavre atru huteno Moapu kini ne'mofo azampi tavrentenaku higeta kagrite neone.

Elisha said to the king of Israel, “Why do you come to me [RHQ]? Go and ask those prophets that your father and mother consulted!” But Joram replied, “No, [we want you to ask Yahweh, because it seems that] Yahweh is going to allow us three kings to be captured by the army of Moab.”

14 Anante Elisa'a Israeli kini ne' Jehoramuna amanage huno asmi'ne, Nagrama eri'zama erinentoa hankvenentake Ra Anumzama ohampriga'a sondia vahetamimofo Anumzamofo avufi tamage huanki'na, Juda kini ne' Jehosafati'ma kagranema omesina kagri kavufina onketfa husine.

Elisha replied, “I serve Yahweh, the commander of the armies of angels in heaven. As surely as he lives, if I did not respect Jehoshaphat the king of Judah, I would not even think about doing anything to help you.

15 Hanki menina vuta knare'ma huno zavenama nehesia ne' ome avreta eho. Hige'za ana ne' ome avre'za azageno zavena nehegeno, Ra Anumzamofo hanavemo Elisante e'ne.

But, bring a musician to me.” [So they did that]. And when the musician played [on his harp], the power of Yahweh came on Elisha.

16 Anante Elisa'a amanage hu'ne, Ra Anumzamo'a amanage hie, ko'ma tima evuteno hagegema hu'nea tinkagomupina rama'a keri kafintetere hiho hie.

He said, “Yahweh says that he will cause this dry stream-bed to be full of water.

17 Na'ankure Ra Anumzamo'a amanage huno hie, Kora neranigeno zaho'enena e'nerinigeta tamagra onkegahaze. Hianagi ama tinkagomupina timo'a avitegahie. Ana hanigetma tamagrane, bulimakao afu zagatamine, mago'a zagagafa tami'nena timo'a avite'nenigetma negahaze.

The result will be that your soldiers and your animals that carry supplies and your livestock will have plenty of water to drink.

18 Hanki ama anazana Ra Anumzamo'a amne tro hugara hu'neankino, amne tro hugahie. Ana nehuno Moapu kini ne'ene sondia vahe'anena tamagri tamazampi zanavrentena hara hu zamagateregahaze.

That is not difficult for Yahweh to do. [But he will do more than that]. He will also enable you to defeat [the army of] Moab.

19 Ana nehutma hankave nentake vihureti'ma hu kaginte'naza rankumatamine, agima marerisa kumatmina hahu zamagateretma e'nerita, knarenare zafaramina antagi netretma, tinkeriramina renagreta, knare'ma huno hozama antega moparamina havereti ante avitegahaze.

You will conquer all their beautiful cities, cities that have high walls around them. You must cut down all their fruit trees, stop water from flowing from their springs, and ruin their fertile fields by covering them with rocks.”

20 Anage hutegeno haninkino komatigeno'a nantera ofama huknare ame huno Idomu kazigati timo'a hageno eno, ana mopafina eme marevite'ne.

The next morning, at the time when they offered the sacrifices [of grain], they were surprised to see water flowing from Edom and covering the ground.

21 Hanki zamagra maka Moapu vahe'mo'zama antahizama, 3'a kini vahe'mo'zama ha'ma eme huzmanteku'ma aze ke'ma nentahi'za, ranra vaheteti vuno kasefa vahetema vigeno ha'ma huga vahe'a maka zamagi hutru hu'za hahunaku Moapune, Idomu mopama eme atre agentega eme trotra hu'naze.

When the people of Moab heard that the three kings had come [with their armies] to fight against them, all the men who were able to fight in battles, from the youngest men to the oldest ones, were summoned, and they (took their positions/prepared to fight) at the [southern] border of their land.

22 Ana kna evutegeno anante nanterana Moapu vahe'mo'za mase'nareti'ma oti'zama kazana, zagemo'ma tinte'ma zagemarentea zamo'a koranentike huno korankna hige'za, ogantu mani'ne'za ke'naze.

But when they rose early the next morning, they saw that the water across from them appeared to be as red as blood.

23 Anama nehu'za amanage hu'za hu'naze, keho koranki, ana 3'a kini naga'mo'za zamagra zamagra ha' hu'za ohefri ahefri hu'negahazanki, otinketa vuta maka zazamia ome zogisune hu'naze.

They exclaimed, “It is blood! The three enemy armies must have fought and killed each other! So let’s go and take everything that they have left!”

24 Hianagi Moapu vahe'mo'za Israeli sondia vahe'mo'zama kuma'ma eme ante'za mani'nafima azage'za, Israeli vahe'mo'za oti'za Moapu vahera ha' huzamante'za zamarotgo hazage'za, mopa zamirega fre'za nevazage'za Israeli sondia vahe'mo'za Moapu vahera rama'a zamahe fri'naze.

But when they reached the area where the Israeli soldiers had set up their tents, the Israelis attacked the soldiers from Moab and forced them to retreat. The Israeli soldiers pursued the soldiers from Moab and killed many of them.

25 Hanki Israeli naga'mo'za Moapu vahe ranra kumatmina eri haviza nehu'za, knare'nare zafaramina antagi netre'za, tinkeri ramina renkaninere'za, knare'ma hu'nege'za hozama nentaza agupo moparamina havereti antevite'naze. Hianagi Moapu vahe rankuma'ma magoke atre'nazana Kir-heresi kumake atre'naze. Ana hazage'za nofi atifi have rusi hu'za ahe sondia vahe'mo'za ana kumara mani kagintete'za, havereti ahazageno ana kumapina ufre ufre hu'ne.

The Israelis also destroyed their cities. And whenever they passed fertile fields, they threw rocks on those fields, until the fields were covered with rocks. They stopped water from flowing from the springs and cut down the fruit trees. Finally, only [the capital city, ] Kir-Hareseth, remained. The Israeli soldiers who threw stones with slings surrounded the city and attacked it.

26 Hanki Moapu kini ne'mo'ma keana ha'ra hugatereza hazageno, agra 700'a sondia naga'ma bainati kazima eri'za ha'ma nehaza naga zamavarege'za, rankumapintira atirami'za koro fre'za Idomu kini ne' mani'nerega vuku hu'nazanagi, anara osu'naze.

When the king of Moab realized that his army was being defeated, he took with him 700 men who fought with swords, and they tried to force a way through the Israeli lines of soldiers to escape to [get help from] the king of Syria, but they were unable to escape.

27 Higeno agri kuma'ma erino kinima maniga zage mofavrea Moapu kini ne'mo'a aheno rankumamofo have kegina agofetu, tevefi kre fanane huno ofa Moapu vahe havi anumzantega hunte'ne. Anazama Israeli sondia vahe'mo'zama nege'za tusi zamagogogu nehu'za, hara atre'za mopa zamirega vu'naze.

Then the king of Moab took his oldest son, who would have become the next king, and killed him and offered him for a sacrifice [to their god Chemosh], burning him on top of the city wall. The Israeli soldiers were horrified, with the result that they left that city and returned to their own country.
