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.
Now some time later, Naboth the Jezreelite had a vineyard in Jezreel, near 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.
Ahab spoke to Naboth, saying, “Give me your vineyard, so I can have it as a vegetable garden, because it is near my house. In exchange, I will give you a better vineyard, or, if you prefer, I will pay you its value in money.”
3 Fa hoy Nabota tamin’ i Ahaba: Sanatria amiko eo anatrehan’ i Jehovah izany! fa tsy homeko anao any tanin-drazako.
Naboth replied to Ahab, “May Yahweh forbid that I should give the inheritance of my ancestors to you.”
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.
So Ahab went into his palace resentful and angry because of the answer Naboth the Jezreelite gave him when he said, “I will not give you the inheritance of my ancestors.” He lay down on his bed, turned away his face, and refused to eat any food.
5 Ary Jezebela vadiny nankeo aminy ka nanao taminy hoe: Ahoana no mampahasosotra anao toy izao, no tsy mety homan-kanina ianao?
Jezebel his wife came to him and said to him, “Why is your heart so sad, so that you eat no food?”
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.
He replied to her, “I spoke to Naboth the Jezreelite and said to him, 'Give me your vineyard for money, or if it pleases you, I will give you another vineyard to be yours.' Then he answered me, 'I will not give you 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.
So Jezebel his wife replied to him, “Do you not still rule the kingdom of Israel? Get up and eat; let your heart be happy. I will obtain for you 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 Jezebel wrote letters in Ahab's name, sealed them with his seal, and sent them to the elders and to the wealthy who sat with him in meetings, and who lived near Naboth.
9 Ary izao no nosoratany tao amin’ ny taratasy: Miantsoa andro fifadian-kanina, ary apetraho eo anatrehan’ ny olona Nabota.
She wrote in the letters, saying, “Proclaim a fast and seat Naboth above 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.
Also place two dishonest men with him and let them testify against him, saying, 'You cursed God and the king.'” Then take him out and stone him to death.
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.
So the men of his city, the elders and the wealthy who lived in Naboth's city, did as Jezebel had described to them, as was written in the letters that she had sent to them.
12 Dia niantso andro fifadian-kanina izy ka nametraka an’ i Nabota teo anatrehan’ ny olona.
They proclaimed a fast and seated Naboth above 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.
The two dishonest men came in and sat before Naboth; they testified against Naboth in the presence of the people, saying, “Naboth cursed both God and the king.” Then they carried him out of the city and stoned him to death.
14 Dia naniraka tany amin’ i Jezebela izy ireo ka nanao hoe: Efa notoraham-bato Nabota ka maty.
Then the elders sent word to Jezebel, saying, “Naboth has been 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.
So when Jezebel heard that Naboth had been stoned and was dead, she said to Ahab, “Get up and take possession of the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite, which he refused to give you for money, because 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.
When Ahab heard that Naboth was dead, he rose up to go down to the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite and take possession of it.
17 Ary ny tenin’ i Jehovah tonga tamin’ i Elia Tisbita ka nanao hoe:
Then the word of Yahweh 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.
“Get up and go meet Ahab king of Israel, who lives in Samaria. He is in the vineyard of Naboth, where he has gone to take possession of 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.
You must speak to him and say that Yahweh says, 'Have you killed and also taken possession?' Then you will tell him that Yahweh says, 'In the place where dogs licked the blood of Naboth, the dogs will lick your blood, yes, your blood.'”
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.
Ahab said to Elijah, “Have you found me, my enemy?” Elijah answered, “I have found you, because you have sold yourself to do what is evil in the sight of Yahweh.
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.
Yahweh says this to you: 'See, I will bring disaster on you and will completely consume and cut off from you every male child and slave and free man 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.
I will make your family like the family of Jeroboam son of Nebat, and like the family of Baasha son of Ahijah, because you have provoked me to anger and have led 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.
Yahweh has also spoken concerning Jezebel, saying, 'The dogs will eat Jezebel beside 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.
Anyone who belongs to Ahab and dies in the city, the dogs will eat; and the birds of the sky will eat anyone who dies in the field.”
25 Fa tsy nisy tahaka an’ i Ahaba, izay nivarotena hanao izay ratsy eo imason’ i Jehovah, satria nampirisihin’ i Jezebela vadiny izy.
There was no one like Ahab, who sold himself to do what was evil in the sight of Yahweh, whom Jezebel his wife incited to sin.
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.
Ahab did disgusting deeds for the idols he followed, just as all that the Amorites had done, those whom Yahweh had removed before the people 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.
When Ahab heard these words, he tore his clothes and put sackcloth on his body and fasted, and lay in sackcloth and became very sad.
28 Ary ny tenin’ i Jehovah tonga tamin’ i Elia Tisbita ka nanao hoe:
Then the word of Yahweh 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.
“Do you see how Ahab humbles himself before me? Because he humbles himself before me, I will not bring the coming disaster in his days; it is in his son's day that I will bring disaster on his family.”
