Luo Chronicle 18
1 Ke Tokosra Jehoshaphat lun Judah el kasrupi ac pwengpeng, el akoo sie marut inmasrlon sie mwet in sou lal ac sie in sou lal Tokosra Ahab lun Israel.
Now Jehoshaphat had great riches and honor; he allied himself with Ahab by having one of his family marry his daughter.
2 In kutu yac tok, Jehoshaphat el som nu in siti Samaria in mutwata yorol Ahab. Na Ahab el sap in anwuki sheep ac cow puspis in orala sie kufwa in akfulatyal Jehoshaphat ac mwet ma welul. Ac el eyeinse nu sel Jehoshaphat elan welul mweuni acn Ramoth in Gilead.
After some years, he went down to Ahab in Samaria. Ahab killed many sheep and oxen for him and the people who were with him. Ahab also persuaded him to attack Ramoth Gilead with him.
3 El siyuk sel, “Kom ac ku in wiyu mweuni acn Ramoth?” Jehoshaphat el topuk, “Pacl na kom akola, nga ac mwet luk uh akola pac. Kut ac wi kom.”
Ahab, king of Israel, said to Jehoshaphat, king of Judah, “Will you go with me to Ramoth Gilead?” Jehoshaphat answered him, “I am like you, and my people are like your people. We will be with you in the war.”
4 Na el tafwelana in fahk, “Tusruktu, kut in suk nunak lun LEUM GOD meet.”
Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel, “Please first seek the word of Yahweh for your answer.”
5 Ouinge Ahab el pangonma mwet palu lal, pisalos akuran sun mwet angfoko, na el siyuk selos, “Ku fal nga in som mweuni acn Ramoth, ku tia?” Elos topuk, “Fahla, mweun. God El ac fah sot kutangla nu sum.”
Then the king of Israel gathered the prophets together, four hundred men, and said to them, “Should we go to Ramoth Gilead to battle, or should I not?” They said, “Attack, for God will give it into the hand of the king.”
6 Tusruktu Jehoshaphat el siyuk, “Ya wangin pac sie mwet palu kut ku in siyuk lungse lun LEUM GOD se?”
But Jehoshaphat said, “Is there not here still another prophet of Yahweh with whom we might seek advice?”
7 Ahab el topuk, “Oasr pac mwet se, ac inel pa Micaiah, wen natul Imlah. Tusruktu nga srungal mweyen el tiana wi palu wo nu sik. Pacl nukewa el fahk ma na koluk.” Na Jehoshaphat el fahk, “Tia wo kom in fahk ouingan!”
The king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, “There is still one man by whom we may seek the advice of Yahweh, Micaiah son of Imlah, but I hate him because he never prophesies good concerning me, but always evil.” But Jehoshaphat said, “The king should not say that.”
8 Ouinge Ahab el suli sie mwet kol ke inkul lun tokosra, ac sap elan sulaklak som solalma Micaiah.
Then the king of Israel called an officer and said, “Quickly bring Micaiah son of Imlah.”
9 Tokosra luo inge nuknukyang ke nuknuk in tokosra, ac muta fin tron laltal ke acn in sisla kulun wheat likin na mutunpot lun Samaria, ac mwet palu nukewa oru palu lalos ye mutaltal.
Now Ahab the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah were sitting each on a throne, clothed in their robes, in an open place at the entrance of the gate of Samaria, and all the prophets were prophesying before them.
10 Sie selos pa Zedekiah, wen natul Chenaanah. El orala kutu koac osra, ac el fahk nu sel Ahab, “Pa inge ma LEUM GOD El fahk, ‘Kom fah us koac inge ac sang mweuni mwet Syria, ac kom ac arulana kutangulosla.’”
Zedekiah son of Kenaanah made himself horns of iron and said, “Yahweh says this: With these you will push the Arameans until they are consumed.”
11 Mwet palu nukewa saya fahk oana, “Fahsr lain acn Ramoth, ac kom ac fah kutangla. LEUM GOD El ac asot kutangla nu sum.”
All the prophets prophesied the same, saying, “Attack Ramoth Gilead and win, for Yahweh has given it into the hand of the king.”
12 In pacl sac pacna, mwet kol se su som in eisal Micaiah el fahk nu sel, “Mwet palu nukewa sayom palye ma ac wo nu sin tokosra. Na pa wo kom in fahk oana.”
The messenger who went to summon Micaiah said to him, “Look, the words of the prophets with one mouth are favorable to the king. Let your words agree with theirs, and speak favorably.”
13 A Micaiah el topuk, “Ke Inen LEUM GOD moul, ma God luk El fahk, nga fah fahk!”
Micaiah replied, “As Yahweh lives, it is what God says that I will say.”
14 Ke el utyak nu ye mutal Tokosra Ahab, na tokosra el siyuk sel, “Micaiah, ku fal nga ac Tokosra Jehoshaphat in som mweuni acn Ramoth, ku tia?” Micaiah el topuk, “Fahla mweun. Kowos ac kutangla! LEUM GOD El ac sot kutangla nu suwos.”
When he came to the king, the king said to him, “Micaiah, should we go to Ramoth Gilead for battle, or not?” Micaiah answered him, “Attack and be victorious! For it will be a great victory.”
15 Tusruktu Ahab el fahk nu sel, “Ke kom kaskas ke Inen LEUM GOD, fahk na ma pwaye! Pacl ekasr nga enenu nga in fahk ma se inge nu sum?”
Then the king said to him, “How many times must I require you to swear to tell me nothing but the truth in the name of Yahweh?”
16 Na Micaiah el topuk fahk, “Nga liye mwet mweun lun Israel oalik fineol uh oana sheep su wangin mwet shepherd lalos. Ac LEUM GOD El fahk, ‘Wangin mwet kol lun mwet inge. Lela elos in folokla nu yen selos in misla.’”
So Micaiah said, “I saw all Israel scattered on the mountains, like sheep who have no shepherd, and Yahweh said, 'These have no shepherd. Let every man return to his house in peace.'”
17 Ahab el fahk nu sel Jehoshaphat, “Nga fahk tari nu sum lah el tia wi palye ma ac wo nu sik, a pacl nukewa ma koluk mukena!”
So the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, “Did I not tell you that he would not prophesy good concerning me, but only disaster?”
18 Na Micaiah el tafwela ac fahk, “Inge lohng ma LEUM GOD El fahk! Nga liye LEUM GOD El muta fin tron lal inkusrao, ac lipufan nukewa lal elos tu siskal.
Then Micaiah said, “Therefore all of you should hear the word of Yahweh: I saw Yahweh sitting on his throne, and all the host of heaven were standing on his right hand and on his left.
19 LEUM GOD El siyuk, ‘Su ac fah kiapwella Ahab elan som in tuh anwuki el in acn Ramoth?’ Kutu sin lipufan fahk sie kas, ac kutu fahk sie pac,
Yahweh said, 'Who will entice Ahab, king of Israel, so that he may go up and fall at Ramoth Gilead?' One said this and another that.
20 nwe ke na sie ngun fahsryak nu meet, suwosyang nu sin LEUM GOD ac fahk, ‘Nga ac kiapwella.’ LEUM GOD El siyuk, ‘Kom ac oru fuka?’
Then a spirit came forward and it stood before Yahweh and said, 'I will entice him.' Yahweh said to him, 'How?'
21 Na ngun sac fahk, ‘Nga ac som oru mwet palu nukewa lal Ahab in kikiap.’ Na LEUM GOD El fahk, ‘Fahla kiapwella. El ac lukukla wela ma kom fahk.’”
The spirit replied, 'I will go out and I will become a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets.' Yahweh replied, 'You will entice him, and you will also be successful. Go now and do so.'
22 Na Micaiah el aksafyela kas lal ac fahk, “Ma na nga fahk uh pa sikyak inge. LEUM GOD El oru tuh mwet palu lom in kiapwekom. A El sifacna akoekomla in sun ongoiya!”
Now see, Yahweh has put a lying spirit in the mouth of these prophets of yours, and Yahweh has decreed disaster for you.”
23 Na mwet palu Zedekiah el kalukyang nu yorol Micaiah, ac puokya likintupal ac siyuk, “Ku ngac ngun lun LEUM GOD som likiyu ac kaskas nu sum?”
Then Zedekiah son of Kenaanah, came up, slapped Micaiah on the cheek, and said, “Which way did the Spirit of Yahweh take to go from me to speak to you?”
24 Micaiah el topuk, “Kom ac fah konauk ke pacl se kom ac som in wikla ke sie infukil ma oan tok ah.”
Micaiah said, “Look, you will know that on that day, when you run into some inner room to hide.”
25 Na Tokosra Ahab el sap nu sin sie sin leum lal, “Kaprilya Micaiah ac usalla nu sel Amon, governor lun siti uh, ac nu sel Fisrak Joash.
The king of Israel said to some servants, “You people seize Micaiah and take him to Amon, the governor of the city, and to Joash, my son.
26 Fahkang mu eltal in siselang nu in presin, ac sang na bread ac kof kital, nwe ke pacl nga moul foloko.”
You people will say to him, 'The king says: Put this man in prison and feed him with only a little bread and only a little water, until I return safely.'”
27 Micaiah el fahk, “Kom fin moul foloko, na kalem lah tia LEUM GOD pa supweyu in fahk ma inge!” El tafwelana in fahk, “Kowos nukewa porongo ma nga fahk uh!”
Then Micaiah said, “If you return safely, then Yahweh has not spoken by me.” Then he added, “Listen to this, all you people.”
28 Na Tokosra Ahab lun Israel ac Tokosra Jehoshaphat lun Judah eltal som in mweuni siti Ramoth in acn Gilead.
So Ahab, the king of Israel, and Jehoshaphat, the king of Judah, went up against Ramoth Gilead.
29 Ahab el fahk nu sel Jehoshaphat, “Ke kut ac som nu ke mweun uh, nga ac fah tia nukum nuknuk in tokosra luk, a kom nukum na nuknuk in tokosra lom.” Ouinge tokosra lun Israel el ekulla lumahl ke el som nu ke mweun.
The king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, “I will disguise myself and go into the battle, but you put on your royal robes.” So the king of Israel disguised himself, and they went into the battle.
30 Tokosra lun Syria el sap nu sin captain lun chariot lal uh in tia mweuni kutena mwet sayen tokosra lun Israel.
Now the king of Aram had commanded the captains of his chariots, saying, “Do not attack the unimportant or the important soldiers. Instead, attack only the king of Israel.”
31 Ouinge ke elos liyal Tokosra Jehoshaphat elos nunku mu el pa tokosra lun Israel, ac elos forang in mweunel. Na Jehoshaphat el liksreni wola, ac LEUM GOD El molella, ac folokunla mwet ukwal ah.
It came about that when the captains of the chariots saw Jehoshaphat they said, “That is the king of Israel.” They turned around to attack him, but Jehoshaphat cried out, and Yahweh helped him. God turned them away from him.
32 Captain lun chariot elos liye tuh tia tokosra Israel pa el, ouinge elos tila ukwal.
It came about that when the commanders of the chariots saw that it was not the king of Israel, they turned back from pursuing him.
33 Tusruktu sie sin mwet mweun lun Syria el pusrkala pisr natul ac tiana etu lah ac sonol Tokosra Ahab, tuh pa pisrkilya ke kupasr lun mwe loang kacl. Ahab el wola nu sin mwet se us chariot natul ah, “Nga kineta! Forla, kaing!”
But a certain man drew his bow at random and shot the king of Israel between the joints of his armor. Then Ahab said to the driver of his chariot, “Turn around and carry me out of the battle, for I am badly wounded.”
34 Ke mweun uh srakna upa, Tokosra Ahab el fungla na muta in chariot natul, ac ngetla nu yurin mwet Syria. Na ke faht ah tili, el misa.
The battle grew worse that day, and the king of Israel was held up in his chariot facing the Arameans until the evening. About the time that the sun was going down, he died.
