1 Mpanjaka 21
1 Ary rehefa afaka izany zavatra izany, Nabota Jezirelita nanana tanim-boaloboka tao Jezirela, takaikin’ ny lapan’ i Ahaba, mpanjakan’ i Samaria.
And it came to pass after these things, [that] Naboth the Jezreelite had a vineyard, which [was] in Jezreel, hard by the palace of Ahab king of Samaria.
2 Ary Ahaba niteny tamin’ i Nabota hoe: Omeo ahy ny tanim-boalobokao mba hataoko fambolena anana, fa akaikin’ ny lapako izy; ary hotakalozako tanim-boaloboka tsara noho izy, na vola tokom-bidiny, raha izany no sitraky ny fonao.
And Ahab spake unto Naboth, saying, Give me thy vineyard, that I may have it for a garden of herbs, because it [is] near unto my house: and I will give thee for it a better vineyard than it; [or], if it seem good to thee, I will give thee the worth of it in money.
3 Fa hoy Nabota tamin’ i Ahaba: Sanatria amiko eo anatrehan’ i Jehovah izany! fa tsy homeko anao any tanin-drazako.
And Naboth said to Ahab, The LORD forbid it me, that I should give the inheritance of my fathers unto thee.
4 Ary Ahaba nankany an-trano sady malahelo no sosotra noho ny teny nolazain’ i Nabota Jezirelita taminy hoe: Tsy homeko anao ny tanindrazako. Dia nandry teo am-parafarany izy ka nampihodina ny tavany sady tsy nety nihinan-kanina.
And Ahab came into his house heavy and displeased because of the word which Naboth the Jezreelite had spoken to him: for he had said, I will not give thee the inheritance of my fathers. And he laid him down upon his bed, and turned away his face, and would eat no bread.
5 Ary Jezebela vadiny nankeo aminy ka nanao taminy hoe: Ahoana no mampahasosotra anao toy izao, no tsy mety homan-kanina ianao?
But Jezebel his wife came to him, and said unto him, Why is thy spirit so sad, that thou eatest no bread?
6 Dia hoy izy taminy: Satria niteny tamin’ i Nabora Jezirelita aho ka nanao taminy hoe: Omeo ahy ny tanim-boalobokao hovidiko vola, na hotakalozako tanim-boaloboka hafa, raha izany no sitraky ny fonao; fa izy namaly hoe: Tsy homeko anao ny tanim-boaloboko.
And he said unto her, Because I spake unto Naboth the Jezreelite, and said unto him, Give me thy vineyard for money; or else, if it please thee, I will give thee [another] vineyard for it: and he answered, I will not give thee my vineyard.
7 Ary hoy Jezebela vadiny taminy: Moa ianao tokoa va no manjaka amin’ ny Isiraely izao? Miarena, mihinàna hanina, ary aoka ho ravoravo ny fonao; izaho hanome anao ny tanim-boalobok’ i Nabota Jezirelita.
And Jezebel his wife said unto him, Dost thou now govern the kingdom of Israel? arise, [and] eat bread, and let thine heart be merry: I will give thee the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite.
8 Ary Jezebela dia nanoratra taratasy tamin’ ny anaran’ i Ahaba, ka notombohiny tamin’ ny fanombohan-kasen’ andriana, ary ny taratasy dia nampitondrainy ho any amin’ ny loholona sy ny manan-kaja tao an-tanànany, dia ireo niara-nitoetra tamin’ i Nabota.
So she wrote letters in Ahab’s name, and sealed [them] with his seal, and sent the letters unto the elders and to the nobles that [were] in his city, dwelling with Naboth.
9 Ary izao no nosoratany tao amin’ ny taratasy: Miantsoa andro fifadian-kanina, ary apetraho eo anatrehan’ ny olona Nabota.
And she wrote in the letters, saying, Proclaim a fast, and set Naboth on high among the people:
10 Dia anangano roa lahy izay tena ratsy fanahy ho eo anatrehany hiampanga azy hoe: Efa niteny ratsy an’ Andriamanitra sy ny mpanjaka ianao. Dia ento mivoaka izy, ka torahy vato ho faty.
And set two men, sons of Belial, before him, to bear witness against him, saying, Thou didst blaspheme God and the king. And [then] carry him out, and stone him, that he may die.
11 Ary ny olona tao an-tanànany, dia ny loholona sy ny manan-kaja izay nonina tao, nanao araka izay nanirahan’ i Jezebela tany aminy, dia ilay voasoratra ao amin’ ny taratasy izay nampitondrainy tany aminy.
And the men of his city, [even] the elders and the nobles who were the inhabitants in his city, did as Jezebel had sent unto them, [and] as it [was] written in the letters which she had sent unto them.
12 Dia niantso andro fifadian-kanina izy ka nametraka an’ i Nabota teo anatrehan’ ny olona.
They proclaimed a fast, and set Naboth on high among the people.
13 Ary niditra ilay roa lahy tena ratsy fanahy ka nipetraka teo anatrehany, dia niampanga an’ i Nabota teo anatrehan’ ny olona ireo ka nanao hoe: Niteny ratsy an’ Andriamanitra sy ny mpanjaka Nabota. Ary nentin’ ny olona nivoaka teny ivelan’ ny tanàna Nabota, dia notorahany vato ka maty.
And there came in two men, children of Belial, and sat before him: and the men of Belial witnessed against him, [even] against Naboth, in the presence of the people, saying, Naboth did blaspheme God and the king. Then they carried him forth out of the city, and stoned him with stones, that he died.
14 Dia naniraka tany amin’ i Jezebela izy ireo ka nanao hoe: Efa notoraham-bato Nabota ka maty.
Then they sent to Jezebel, saying, Naboth is stoned, and is dead.
15 Ary rehefa ren’ i Jezebela fa voatora-bato Nabota ka maty, dia hoy izy tamin’ i Ahaba: Mitsangàna, ka alao ho anao ny tanim-boalobok’ i Nabota Jezirelita, izay tsy foiny ho namidy taminao; fa tsy velona intsony Nabota fa efa maty.
And it came to pass, when Jezebel heard that Naboth was stoned, and was dead, that Jezebel said to Ahab, Arise, take possession of the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite, which he refused to give thee for money: for Naboth is not alive, but dead.
16 Ary rehefa ren’ i Ahaba fa efa maty Nabota, dia niainga izy ka nidina nankany amin’ ny tanim-boalobok’ i Nabota Jezirelita mba haka ny tany ho azy.
And it came to pass, when Ahab heard that Naboth was dead, that Ahab rose up to go down to the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite, to take possession of it.
17 Ary ny tenin’ i Jehovah tonga tamin’ i Elia Tisbita ka nanao hoe:
And the word of the LORD came to Elijah the Tishbite, saying,
18 Miaingà, ka midìna hihaona amin’ i Ahaba, mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely, izay ao Samaria; indro, ao amin’ ny tanim-boalobok’ i Nabota izy, fa lasa nankao izy mba haka ny tany ho azy.
Arise, go down to meet Ahab king of Israel, which [is] in Samaria: behold, [he is] in the vineyard of Naboth, whither he is gone down to possess it.
19 Koa mitenena aminy hoe: Izao no Jazain’ i Jehovah: Efa namono va ianao ka efa naka ho anao koa? Ary ianao dia hiteny aminy hoe: Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah: Ao amin’ ny tany izay nilelafan’ ny alika ny ran’ i Nabota no hilelafan’ ny alika ny rànao, dia ny rànao tokoa.
And thou shalt speak unto him, saying, Thus saith the LORD, Hast thou killed, and also taken possession? And thou shalt speak unto him, saying, Thus saith the LORD, In the place where dogs licked the blood of Naboth shall dogs lick thy blood, even thine.
20 Ary hoy Ahaba tamin’ i Elia: Azonao va aho, ry ilay fahavaloko? Ary Elia namaly hoe: Azoko ianao, satria ianao efa nivaro-tena hanao izay ratsy eo imason’ i Jehovah.
And Ahab said to Elijah, Hast thou found me, O mine enemy? And he answered, I have found [thee: ] because thou hast sold thyself to work evil in the sight of the LORD.
21 Indro, hahatonga loza aminao Aho ka handringana ny taranakao, ary ho fongotra ny lehilahy rehetra amin’ ny taranak’ i Ahaba, na ny voahazona na ny afaka amin’ ny Isiraely.
Behold, I will bring evil upon thee, and will take away thy posterity, and will cut off from Ahab him that pisseth against the wall, and him that is shut up and left in Israel,
22 Ary ny taranakao hataoko tahaka ny taranak’ i Jeroboama, zanak’ i Nebata, sy tahaka ny taranak’ i Basa, zanak’ i Ahia, noho ny nampirehetanao ny fahatezerako sy ny nampanotanao ny Isiraely.
And will make thine house like the house of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, and like the house of Baasha the son of Ahijah, for the provocation wherewith thou hast provoked [me] to anger, and made Israel to sin.
23 Ary ny amin’ i Jezebela koa dia nolazain’ i Jehovah hoe: Ny alika hihinana an’ i Jezebela eny ivelan’ ny màndan’ i Jezirela.
And of Jezebel also spake the LORD, saying, The dogs shall eat Jezebel by the wall of Jezreel.
24 Izay tamingan’ i Ahaba maty ao an-tanàna dia hohanin’ ny alika; ary izay tamingany maty any an-tsaha kosa dia hohanin’ ny voro-manidina.
Him that dieth of Ahab in the city the dogs shall eat; and him that dieth in the field shall the fowls of the air eat.
25 Fa tsy nisy tahaka an’ i Ahaba, izay nivarotena hanao izay ratsy eo imason’ i Jehovah, satria nampirisihin’ i Jezebela vadiny izy.
But there was none like unto Ahab, which did sell himself to work wickedness in the sight of the LORD, whom Jezebel his wife stirred up.
26 Ary izy nanao vetaveta loatra tamin’ ny nanarahany ny sampy, dia tahaka izay rehetra nataon’ ny Amorita, izay noroahin’ i Jehovah teo anoloan’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely.
And he did very abominably in following idols, according to all [things] as did the Amorites, whom the LORD cast out before the children of Israel.
27 Ary rehefa ren’ i Ahaba izany teny izany, dia nandriatra ny fitafiany izy ka nitafy lamba fisaonana nataony manolo-koditra sady nifady hanina sy nandry tamin-damba fisaonana ary nijoretra teny am-pandehanana.
And it came to pass, when Ahab heard those words, that he rent his clothes, and put sackcloth upon his flesh, and fasted, and lay in sackcloth, and went softly.
28 Ary ny tenin’ i Jehovah tonga tamin’ i Elia Tisbita ka nanao hoe:
And the word of the LORD came to Elijah the Tishbite, saying,
29 Hitanao va ny nanetren’ i Ahaba tena teo anatrehako? Satria nanetry tena teo anatrehako izy, dia tsy hahatonga loza aminy Aho amin’ ny androny; fa any amin’ ny andron’ ny zanany vao hahatonga loza amin’ ny taranany Aho.
Seest thou how Ahab humbleth himself before me? because he humbleth himself before me, I will not bring the evil in his days: [but] in his son’s days will I bring the evil upon his house.
