1 Mpanjaka 20
1 Ary Beni-hadada, mpanjakan’ i Syria, namory ny miaramilany rehetra, koa mpanjaka roa amby telo-polo mbamin’ ny soavaly sy ny kalesy no niaraka taminy; dia niakatra izy ka nanao fahirano an’ i Samada ary namely azy.
And Ben-Hadad king of Syria assembled all his host; and there were thirty-two kings with him, and horses and chariots; and he went up and besieged Samaria, and fought against it.
2 Ary nandefa iraka ho any amin’ i Ahaba, mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely, tany an-tanàna izy
And he sent messengers to Ahab king of Israel into the city, and said to him, Thus says Ben-Hadad:
3 hanao aminy hoe: Izao no lazain’ i Beni-hadada: Ny volafotsinao sy ny volamenanao dia ahy; ary ny vadinao aman-janakao, na dia ny tsara tarehy indrindra aza, dia ahy koa.
Thy silver and thy gold is mine; thy wives also and thy children, the goodliest, are mine.
4 Ary ny mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely namaly hoe: Eny marina ny teninao ry mpanjaka tompoko ô: anao aho sy izay rehetra ananako.
And the king of Israel answered and said, My lord, O king, according to thy saying, I am thine, and all that I have.
5 Dia niverina indray ny iraka ka nanao hoe: Izao no tenin’ i Beni-hadada: Naniraka tatỳ aminao aho nanao hoe: Ny volafotsinao sy ny volamenanao ary ny vadinao aman-janakao dia omeo ahy;
And the messengers came again, and said, Thus speaks Ben-Hadad saying: I sent to thee indeed, saying, Thou shalt deliver me thy silver, and thy gold, and thy wives, and thy children;
6 koa raha maniraka ny mpanompoko ho atỳ aminao aho rahampitso toy izao, ka savany ny tranonao sy ny tranon’ ny mpanomponao, dia horaisin’ ny tànany sy ho entiny avokoa izay rehetra mahafinaritra ny masonao na inona na inona.
but to-morrow about this time I will send my servants to thee, and they shall search thy house, and the houses of thy servants; and it shall be, that whatsoever is pleasant in thy sight, they shall put in their hand and take away.
7 Ary ny mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely nampaka ny loholona rehetra amin’ ny tany ka nanao hoe: Masìna ianareo, fantaro sy izahao fa mila sotasota mihitsy ilehiny; fa efa naniraka tatỳ amiko izy haka ny vadiko aman-janako mbamin’ ny volafotsiko sy ny volamenako ka tsy nolaviko.
And the king of Israel called all the elders of the land and said, Mark, I pray you, and see how this [man] seeks mischief; for he sent to me for my wives, and for my children, and for my silver, and for my gold; and I denied him not.
8 Ary hoy ny loholona sy ny vahoaka rehetra taminy: Aza mihaino na manaiky.
And all the elders and all the people said to him, Hearken not, nor consent.
9 Ka dia hoy Ahaba tamin’ ny irak’ i Beni-hadada. Lazao amin’ ny mpanjaka tompoko hoe: Izay rehetra nanirahanao tany amiko mpanomponao tamin’ ny voalohany dia hataoko; fa izao zavatra izao kosa tsy azoko ekena. Dia lasa ireo iraka ka nitondra teny niverina tany amin’ i Beni-hadada indray;
And he said to the messengers of Ben-Hadad, Tell my lord the king, All that thou didst send for to thy servant at the first I will do; but this thing I cannot do. And the messengers departed, and brought him word again.
10 ary izy naniraka tany aminy ka nanao hoe: Hataon’ ireo andriamanitra amiko anie izany, eny, mihoatra noho izany aza, raha ho ampy eran-tànan-ila akory ny vovok’ i Samaria amin’ ny isan-olona manaraka ahy.
And Ben-Hadad sent to him and said, The gods do so to me, and more also, if the dust of Samaria shall suffice for handfuls for all the people that follow me!
11 Ary ny mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely namaly hoe: Izao no holazainao aminy: Aoka izay vao misikìna tsy mba hirehareha tahaka ny efa mamaha.
And the king of Israel answered and said, Tell [him], Let not him that girdeth on boast himself as he that putteth off!
12 Ary rehefa ren’ i Beni-hadada izany teny izany, raha mbola nisotro tao an-trano rantsan-kazo izy sy ireo mpanjaka, dia hoy izy tamin’ ny mpanompony: Milahara ianareo. Ary dia nilahatra hamely ny tanàna izy.
And it came to pass when he heard this word, as he was drinking, he and the kings in the tents, that he said to his servants, Set yourselves. And they set themselves against the city.
13 Ary, indro, nisy mpaminany nanatona an’ i Ahaba, mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely, ka nanao hoe: Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah: Hitanao va ireo olona maro be rehetra ireo? Indro, hatolotro eo an-tananao ireo anio; dia ho fantatrao fa Izaho no Jehovah.
And behold, a prophet drew near to Ahab king of Israel, and said, Thus saith Jehovah: Hast thou seen all this great multitude? behold, I will deliver it into thy hand this day; and thou shalt know that I am Jehovah.
14 Ary hoy Ahaba: Amin’ iza? Ary hoy izy: Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah: Amin’ ny zatovon’ ny komandin’ ny fanapahana isan-tokony. Dia hoy izy: Iza ary no hamely aloha? Hianao ihany, hoy izy.
And Ahab said, By whom? And he said, Thus saith Jehovah: By the servants of the princes of the provinces. Then he said, Who shall begin the battle? And he said, Thou.
15 Ary nandamina ny zatovon’ ny komandin’ ny fanapahana isan-tokony izy, ka roa amby telo-polo amby roan-jato no isany; ary manarakaraka izany, dia nandamina ny olona rehetra izy, dia ny Zanak’ Isiraely rehetra, ka fito arivo no isany.
And he numbered the servants of the princes of the provinces, and they were two hundred and thirty-two; and after them he numbered all the people, all the children of Israel, seven thousand.
16 Ary nivoaka izy nony nitataovovonana ny andro. Fa Beni-hadada nisotro ho mamo tao an-trano rantsan-kazo, dia izy sy ireo mpanjaka roa amby telo-polo izay nanampy azy.
And they went out at noon; and Ben-Hadad drank himself drunk in the tents, he and the kings, the thirty-two kings that helped him.
17 Ary ny zatovon’ ny komandin’ ny fanapahana isan-tokony nivoaka voalohany; ary Beni-hadada naniraka, ka dia nilazana hoe: Misy olona efa nivoaka avy any Samaria.
And the servants of the princes of the provinces went out first; and Ben-Hadad sent out, and they told him saying, There are men come out of Samaria.
18 Ary hoy izy: Ataovy sambo-belona izy, na ho avy hihavana, na ho avy hiady.
And he said, Whether they be come out for peace, take them alive; or whether they be come out for war, take them alive.
19 Dia nivoaka avy tao an-tanàna ireo zatovon’ ny komandin’ ny fanapahana isan-totony ireo sy ny miaramila izay nanaraka azy.
And these servants of the princes of the provinces came out of the city, and the army that followed them.
20 Ary samy nahafaty olona iray avy izy rehetra; dia vaky nandositra ny Syriana, ka nenjehin’ ny Isiraely; ary Beni-hadada, mpanjakan’ i Syria, nandositra an-tsoavaly mbamin’ ny mpitaingin-tsoavaly sasany koa.
And they slew every one his man; and the Syrians fled, and Israel pursued them; and Ben-Hadad the king of Syria escaped on a horse with the horsemen.
21 Ary ny mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely nivoaka, dia namely: ny an-tsoavaly sy ny an-kalesy, ka nahafatesany be dia be ny Syriana.
And the king of Israel went out, and smote the horses and chariots, and slew the Syrians with a great slaughter.
22 Ary ilay mpaminany nankany amin’ ny i mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely ka nanao taminy hoe: Mahereza tsara, ary fantaro sy izahao izay ataonao; fa raha miherina ny taona, dia hiakatra indray ny mpanjakan’ i Syria hiady aminao.
And the prophet drew near to the king of Israel, and said to him, Go, strengthen thyself, and understand, and see what thou shalt do; for at the return of the year the king of Syria will come up against thee.
23 Ary hoy ny mpanompon’ ny mpanjakan’ i Syria taminy: Andriamanitry ny havoana ny Andriamanitr’ izy ireo, koa izany no nahareseny antsika; fa aoka ange isika hiady aminy eny an-tany lemaka, raha tsy ho resintsika izy e!
And the servants of the king of Syria said to him, Their gods are gods of the mountains; therefore they were stronger than we; but if we fight against them on the plateau, shall we not be stronger than they?
24 Koa izao zavatra izao no ataovy: Esory ny mpanjaka samy hiala amin’ ny toerany avy, ka asio mpanapaka hisolo azy;
And do this: take the kings away, every man out of his place, and put governors in their stead;
25 ary ianao kosa dia makà miaramila ho anao toraka ny miaramilanao izay maty teo ary soavaly ho solon’ ny soavaly sy kalesy ho solon’ ny kalesy; ary hiady aminy eny an-tany lemaka isika, ka dia hahery noho izy tokoa. Ary nanaiky ny tenin’ ireo izy, ka dia nataony izany.
and number thee an army, like the army that thou hast lost, horse for horse, and chariot for chariot; and we will fight against them on the plateau: shall we not be stronger than they? And he hearkened to their voice, and did so.
26 Ary nony niherina ny taona, dia nandamina ny Syriana Beni-hadada ka niakatra nankany Afeka hiady amin’ ny Isiraely.
And it came to pass, at the return of the year, that Ben-Hadad numbered the Syrians, and went up to Aphek, to fight against Israel.
27 Ary ny Zanak’ Isiraely rehetra kosa dia nalamina sy novatsiana, ka dia lasa hiady aminy; ary ny Zanak’ Isiraely nitoby tandrifiny toy ny osy andiany kely roa toko; fa ny Syriana kosa nanenika ny tany.
And the children of Israel were numbered and victualled, and they went against them; and the children of Israel encamped before them like two little flocks of goats; but the Syrians filled the land.
28 Ary nanatona ilay lehilahin’ Andriamanitra ka nilaza tamin’ ny mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely hoe: Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah: Satria ny Syriana nilaza hoe: Andriamanitry ny havoana ihany Jehovah, fa tsy mba Andriamanitry ny tany lemaka, dia hatolotro eo an-tananao ireo olona maro be rehetra ireo, ka dia ho fantatrao fa Izaho no Jehovah.
And the man of God drew near, and spoke to the king of Israel and said, Thus saith Jehovah: Because the Syrians have said, Jehovah is a god of the mountains, but he is not a god of the valleys, I will give all this great multitude into thy hand, and ye shall know that I am Jehovah.
29 Dia nitoby mifanandrify hafitoana izy roa tonta. Ary tamin’ ny andro fahafito, dia raikitra ny ady; ary ny Zanak’ Isiraely nahafaty ny miaramila an-tongotra iray hetsy tamin’ ny Syriana indray andro.
And they encamped one over against the other seven days; and it came to pass that on the seventh day the battle was joined; and the children of Israel smote of the Syrians a hundred thousand footmen in one day.
30 Fa ny sisa dia nandositra nankany an-tanàna Afeka; nefa nianjeran’ ny manda ireny olona sisa ireny, ary fito arivo amby roa alina no isany. Ary Beni-hadada nandositra nankany an-tanàna ka niditra tao amin’ ny efi-trano anatiny.
And the rest fled to Aphek, into the city; and the wall fell on twenty-seven thousand men of them that were left. And Ben-Hadad fled, and came into the city, [from] chamber to chamber.
31 Fa hoy ny mpanompony taminy: Indro, efa renay fa mpanjaka mamindra fo ireo mpanjakan’ ny taranak’ Isiraely. Koa masìna ianao, avelao hosikinanay lamba fisaonana ny valahanay, ary hasianay mahazaka ny lohanay, dia hankany amin’ ny mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely izahay; angamba hovelominy ny ainao.
And his servants said to him, Behold now, we have heard that the kings of the house of Israel are merciful kings: let us, I pray thee, put sackcloth on our loins, and ropes upon our heads, and go out to the king of Israel; perhaps he will save thy life.
32 Dia nosikinany lamba fisaonana ny valahany, ary nasiany mahazaka ny lohany, dia nankany amin’ ny mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely izy ka nanao hoe: Izao no fitenin’ i Beni-hadada mpanomponao: Avelao mba ho velona ny aiko. Ary hoy izy: Moa mbola velona ihany va izy? Rahalahiko izy.
And they girded sackcloth on their loins, and ropes on their heads, and came to the king of Israel, and said, Thy servant Ben-Hadad says, I pray thee, let me live. And he said, Is he yet alive? he is my brother.
33 Ary nataon’ ireo olona ireo fa zara ho azy izany, dia namonjy nanantitra ny teniny izy ka nanao hoe: Rahalahinao hoe Beni-adada. Dia hoy izy: Mandehana, alao izy. Ary Beni-hadada nankany aminy, dia nasainy niakatra ho eo amin’ ny kalesiny.
And the men took it as a good omen, and hastened to catch what came from him, and they said, Thy brother Ben-Hadad. ...And he said, Go, bring him. And Ben-Hadad came forth to him; and he caused him to come up into the chariot.
34 Ary hoy Beni-hadada taminy: Ny tanàna izay nalain’ ny raiko tamin’ ny rainao dia hampodiko; ary manaova lalambe ho anao any Damaskosy, tahaka ny nataon’ ny raiko tany Samaria. Ary hoy Ahaba: Halefako ianao amin’ izany fanekena izany. Dia nanao fanekena taminy izy ka nandefa azy.
And [Ben-Hadad] said to him, The cities that my father took from thy father I will restore; and thou shalt make streets for thyself in Damascus, as my father made in Samaria. And I [said Ahab] will send thee away with this covenant. So he made a covenant with him, and sent him away.
35 Ary nisy lehilahy anankiray, zanaky ny mpaminany, niteny tamin’ ny namany araka ny tenin’ i Jehovah ka nanao hoe: Masìna ianao asio aho. Fa tsy nety namely azy ilay lehilahy.
And a certain man of the sons of the prophets said to another by the word of Jehovah, Smite me, I pray thee. But the man refused to smite him.
36 Dia hoy izy taminy: Satria ianao tsy nihaino ny feon’ i Jehovah, indro, fa raha vao miala amiko eto ianao, dia hisy liona hamono anao. Ary raha vao niala teo aminy izy, dia hitan’ ny liona ka novonoiny.
Then said he to him, Because thou hast not hearkened to the voice of Jehovah, behold, when thou departest from me, the lion will slay thee. And when he had departed from him, the lion found him and slew him.
37 Ary nahita lehilahy hafa indray ralehilahy ka nanao hoe: Masìna ianao, asio aho. Ary ilay lehilahy namely azy, dia voa izy ka naratra.
Then he found another man, and said, Smite me, I pray thee. And the man smote him violently, and wounded [him].
38 Dia lasa ilay mpaminany ka niandry ny mpanjaka teny an-dalana, ary nasiany fehiloha tamin’ ny handriny tsy hahafantarany azy.
And the prophet departed, and waited for the king by the way, and disguised himself with a sash over his eyes.
39 Ary nony nandalo ny mpanjaka, dia nitaraina taminy ilay mpaminany ka nanao hoe: Izaho mpanomponao nankany anatin’ ny ady; ary, indro, nisy lehilahy anankiray nivily ka nitondra lehilahy tany amiko sady nanao hoe: Hazony ity lehilahy ity; fa raha tahìny lasa izy, dia ny ainao no hisolo ny amy, na handoa talenta volafotsy iray ianao.
And as the king passed by, he cried to the king and said, Thy servant went out into the midst of the battle; and behold, a man turned aside, and brought a man to me and said, Keep this man; if by any means he be missing, then shall thy life be for his life, or thou shalt pay a talent of silver.
40 Kanjo nony nikeninkenina tetsy sy teroa ny mpanomponao, dia lasa izy. Ary hoy ny mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely taminy: Ho tahaka izany ihany no hitsarana anao; ny tenanao no nilaza izany.
And as thy servant was busy here and there, he was gone. And the king of Israel said to him, So [is] thy judgment: thyself hast decided [it].
41 Ary nesoriny haingana ilay fehi-loha tamin’ ny handriny; ka dia fantatry ny mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely fa isan’ ny mpaminany izy.
Then he hastily took the sash away from his face; and the king of Israel discerned him, that he was of the prophets.
42 Dia hoy izy taminy: Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah: Satria nalefanao niala teo an-tananao ny lehilahy izay nasaiko hovonoina tokoa, dia ny ainao no hisolo ny ainy, ary ny olonao no hisolo ny olony.
And he said to him, Thus saith Jehovah: Because thou hast let go out of thy hand the man that I had devoted to destruction, thy life shall be for his life, and thy people for his people.
43 Ary ny mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely nandeha ho any an-tranony sady nalahelo no sosotra, dia tonga tany Samaria.
And the king of Israel went to his house sullen and vexed, and came to Samaria.
