1 Mpanjaka 22
1 Ary nandry fahizay ny Syriana sy ny Isiraely telo taona, fa tsy niady.
And there continued three years without war between Syria and Israel.
2 Ary nony tamin’ ny taona fahatelo, dia nidina Josafata, mpanjakan’ ny Joda, ho any amin’ ny mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely.
But it came to pass, in the third year, that Jehoshaphat king of Judah went down unto the king of Israel.
3 Ary hoy ny mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely tamin’ ny mpanompony: Moa fantatrareo va fa antsika Ramota-gileada, nefa isika mitoetra foana ka tsy maka azy amin’ ny tanan’ ny mpanjakan’ i Syria?
And the king of Israel said unto his servants, Know ye that, ours, is Ramoth-gilead, —yet, we, are too idle to take it out of the hand of the king of Syria?
4 Ary hoy koa izy tamin’ i Josafata: Mba hiaraka amiko hiady an’ i Ramota-gileada va ianao? Dia hoy Josafata tamin’ ny mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely. Eny, fa tahaka ny tenanao ihany aho, ka ny oloko dia olonao, ary ny soavaliko dia soavalinao.
And he said unto Jehoshaphat, Wilt thou go with me to make war upon Ramoth-gilead?
5 Ary hoy Josafata tamin’ ny mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely: Masìna ianao, anontanio aloha ny tenin’ i Jehovah.
And Jehoshaphat said unto the king of Israel, I am as thou art, my people are us thy people, my horses as thy horses.
6 Ary ny mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely dia nanangona ny mpaminany tokony ho efa-jato lahy ka nanao taminy hoe: Handena hanafika an’ i Ramota-gileada va aho, sa hijanona ihany? Dia hoy ireo: Mandehana, fa hatolotry ny Tompo eo an-tananao izy, ry mpanjaka.
Then said Jehoshaphat unto the king of Israel, —Seek, I pray thee, at once, the word of Yahweh. So the king of Israel gathered together the prophets, about four hundred men, and said unto them—Shall I go against Ramoth-gilead, to battle, or shall I forbear? And they said—Go up, that the Lord may deliver it into the hand of the king.
7 Ary hoy kosa Josafata: Moa tsy misy mpaminanin’ i Jehovah koa va eto mba hanontaniantsika?
Then said Jehoshaphat, Is there not here a prophet of Yahweh, besides, —that we may seek, from him?
8 Dia hoy ny mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely tamin’ i Josafata: Mbola misy lehilahy iray ihany, dia Mikaia, zanak’ i Jimla, izay ahazoantsika manontany amin’ i Jehovah, saingy halako izy, satria tsy mba maminany soa ho ahy izy, fa loza ihany. Dia hoy Josafata: Aza manao izany, ry mpanjaka.
And the king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat, Besides, is a certain man, by whom we might seek Yahweh, but, I, hate him, for he is never moved to prophesy concerning me anything good, only evil, Micaiah, son of Imlah. And Jehoshaphat said, Let not the king say so.
9 Ary ny mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely niantso ny tandapa anankiray ka nanao taminy hoe: Alao faingana Mikaia, zanak’ i Jimla.
Then the king of Israel called a certain courtier, —and said, Hasten Micaiah son of Imlah.
10 Ary ny mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely sy Josafata, mpanjakan’ ny Joda, samy nipetraka teo amin’ ny seza fiandrianany avy teo amin’ ny famoloana eo anoloan’ ny vavahadin’ i Samaria sady samy efa niakanjo ny akanjony avy; ary ny mpaminany rehetra naminany teo matrehany.
Now, the king of Israel, and Jehoshaphat king of Judah, were sitting—each man upon his throne, having put on robes, in a level place, at the entrance of the gate of Samaria, —and, all the prophets, were being moved to prophesy before them;
11 Ary Zedekia, zanak’ i Kenana, dia nanao tandroby ka nanao hoe: Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah: ireto no hanotoanao ny Syriana mandra-paharingany.
when Zedekiah son of Chenaanah made himself horns of iron, —and said—Thus, saith Yahweh, —With these, shalt thou push down the Syrians, until thou hast consumed them.
12 Ary ny mpaminany rehetra naminany toy izany koa hoe: Mandehana any Ramota-gileada, dia hambinina ianao; fa Jehovah hanolotra azy eo an-tananao, ry mpanjaka.
And, all the prophets, were being moved to prophesy, in like manner, saying, —Go up to Ramoth-gilead, and thou shalt prosper, and Yahweh will deliver it, into the hand of the king.
13 Ary ilay iraka izay nandeha naka an’ i Mikaia niteny taminy hoe: Indro fa efa iray teny avokoa izao ny mpaminany ka milaza soa ho an’ ny mpanjaka; masìna ianao, aoka re ny teninao mba ho tahaka ny an’ ny anankiray amin’ ireo, ka mba mitenena soa koa.
Now, the messenger who went to call Micaiah, spake unto him, saying, Behold, I pray thee, the words of the prophets, with one mouth, are good, as touching the king, let thy word, I pray thee, be as the word of one of them, so wilt thou speak that which is good.
14 Ary hoy Mikaia: Raha velona koa Jehovah, dia izay lazain’ i Jehovah amiko ihany no hambarako.
And Micaiah said, —By the life of Yahweh, what Yahweh saith unto me, that, will I, speak.
15 Dia nankany amin’ ny mpanjaka izy. Ary hoy ny mpanjaka taminy: Ry Mikaia, handeha hanafika an’ i Ramota-gileada va isika, sa hijanona ihany? Ary izy namaly azy hoe: Mandehana, fa hambinina ianao, fa hatolotr’ i Jehovah eo an-tananao izy, ry mpanjaka.
So he came unto the king, and the king said unto him, Micaiah, shall we go against Ramoth-gilead to battle, or shall we forbear? And he said unto him—Go up and prosper, and Yahweh will deliver it into the hand of the king.
16 Ary hoy ny mpanjaka taminy: Impiry no hampianianako anao mba tsy hilaza na inona na inona amiko amin’ ny anaran’ i Jehovah afa-tsy izay marina ihany
And the king said unto him, How many times must, I, adjure thee, —that thou speak unto me nothing but truth, in the name of Yahweh?
17 Dia hoy Mikaia Hitako fa indreny ny Isiraely rehetra niely teny an-tendrombohitra toy ny ondry tsy misy mpiandry, ary hoy Jehovah: Ireto efa tsy manan-tompo, aoka izy samy hody soa aman-tsara any an-tranony avy.
And he said—I saw all Israel, scattered among the mountains, like sheep that have no shepherd, —so Yahweh said, These have, no masters, let them return every man unto his own house, in peace.
18 Dia hoy ny mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely tamin’ i Josafata: Tsy efa voalazako taminao va fa tsy mba mety maminany soa ho ahy izy, fa loza ihany?
Then said the king of Israel, unto Jehoshaphat, —Did I not say unto thee, He will not be moved to prophesy concerning me anything good, only calamity.
19 Ary hoy Mikaia: Henoy ary ny tenin’ i Jehovah: Nahita an’ i Jehovah nipetraka teo amin’ ny seza fiandrianany aho, ary ireo maro be rehetra any an-danitra nitsangana teo an-daniny avy, dia teo amin’ ny ankavanany sy teo amin’ ny ankaviany.
Then he said, Therefore, hear thou the word of Yahweh, —I saw Yahweh, sitting upon his throne, and all the host of the heavens, standing by him, on his right hand, and on his left.
20 Ary hoy Jehovah: Iza no hitaona an’ i Ahaba handeha ho any Ramotagileada ka ho lavo any? Ary ny anankiray niteny toy izao, ary ny anankiray kosa niteny toy izao.
And Yahweh said, Who will persuade Ahab, that he may go up and fall, at Ramoth-gilead? And, one, said in this manner, and, another, said in that manner.
21 Dia nandroso ny fanahy ka nitsangana teo anatrehan’ i Jehovah ary nanao hoe: Izaho no hitaona azy. Ary hoy Jehovah taminy: Amin’ inona anefa?
Then came forth a spirit, and stood before Yahweh, and said—I, will persuade him.
22 Dia hoy izy: Hivoaka aho ka ho tonga fanahy mandainga ao am-bavan’ ny mpaminaniny rehetra. Dia hoy indray Jehovah: Ho voataonanao ihany izy, ka hahatanteraka ianao; mivoaha ary, ka ataovy izany.
And Yahweh said unto him—Wherewith? And he said—I will go forth, and become a spirit of falsehood in the mouth of all his prophets, —So he said, —Thou mayest persuade, yea and prevail, go forth, and do so.
23 Koa, indro, Jehovah efa nanisy fanahy mandainga ao am-bavan’ ireto mpaminaninao rehetra ireto ary Izy koa efa nilaza ny loza hanjo anao.
Now, therefore, lo! Yahweh hath suffered a spirit of falsehood to be put into the mouth of all these thy prophets. But, Yahweh himself, hath spoken concerning thee, calamity.
24 Fa Zedekia, zanak’ i Kenana, nanatona, dia namely ny takolak’ i Mikaia sady nanao hoe: Taiza no nialan’ ny Fanahin’ i Jehovah tamiko hiteny aminao?
Then drew near Zedekiah, son of Chenaanah, and smote Micaiah on the cheek, —and said—Where then passed the Spirit of Yahweh, from me, to speak unto thee?
25 Dia hoy Mikaia: Indro, ho hitanao izany amin’ ny andro hidiranao ao amin’ ny efi-trano anatiny hierenao.
Then said Micaiah, Lo! thou art about to see, on that day, —when thou enterest a chamber within a chamber, to hide thyself.
26 Dia hoy ny mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely: Raiso Mikaia, ka ento miverina izy ho any amin’ i Amona, komandin’ ny tanàna, sy ho any amin’ i Joasy, zanaky ny mpanjaka,
And the king of Israel said, Take Micaiah, and carry him back unto Amon captain of the city, —and unto Joash son of the king;
27 ka lazao hoe: Izao no lazain’ ny mpanjaka: Ataovy ao an-trano-maizina ilehity, ka fahano mofom-pahoriana sy ranom-pahoriana izy mandra-pahatongako soa aman-tsara.
and thou shalt say—Thus, saith the king, Put this man into the prison, —and let him eat the bread of oppression, with the water of oppression, until I enter in peace.
28 Fa hoy Mikaia: Raha tàhiny ho tafaverina soa aman-tsara ianao dia tsy nampitenenin’ i Jehovah aho tsy akory. Ary hoy koa izy: Samia mihaino izany ianareo, ry firenena rehetra.
Then said Micaiah, If thou, return, in peace, Yahweh hath not spoken by me. And he said, Hear, ye peoples, all of you!
29 Dia niakatra nankany Ramota-gileada ny mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely sy Josafata, mpanjakan’ ny Joda.
So the king of Israel went up, with Jehoshaphat king of Judah, unto Ramoth-gilead.
30 Ary hoy ny mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely tamin’ i Josafata: Hody olon-kafa aho ka hitsarapaka any anatin’ ny ady, fa ianao kosa dia miakanjoa ny akanjonao ihany. Dia nody olon-kafa ny mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely ka nitsarapaka tany anatin’ ny ady.
And the king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat—I am about to disguise myself, and enter into the battle, thou, therefore, put on thy robes. So the king of Israel disguised himself, and entered into the battle.
31 Fa ny mpanjakan’ i Syria efa nandidy ny roa amby telo-polo lahy, komandin’ ny kalesy, nanao hoe: Aza miady na amin’ ny kely na amin’ ny lehibe, afa-tsy amin’ ny mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely ihany.
Now, the king of Syria, had commanded the captains of chariots which he had, thirty and two, saying, Ye shall not fight with small or great, —save with the king of Israel alone.
32 Ary nony nahita an’ i Josafata ireo komandin’ ny kalesy, dia hoy izy: Iny mihitsy no mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely. Dia nanatrika hiady taminy ireo; ka dia niantsoantso Josafata.
And it came to pass, when the chariot-captains saw Jehoshaphat, that, they, said: Surely it is, the king of Israel! But, when they turned aside against him to fight, Jehoshaphat cried out.
33 Ary rehefa hitan’ ireo komandin’ ny kalesy fa tsy ny mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely izy, dia niverina niala taminy ireo.
And it came to pass, when the chariot-captains saw that it was, not the king of Israel, that they turned back, from pursuing him.
34 Ary nisy lehilahy anankiray nandefa zana-tsipìka kitoatoa ka nahavoa ny mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely teo anelanelan’ ny fiarovan-tratrany sy ny eo ambaniny; ka dia hoy izy tamin’ ny mpampandeha ny kalesiny: Ahodino, ka ento miala eto amin’ ny ady aho, fa voa.
But, a certain man, drawing a bow in his innocence, smote the king of Israel, between the shoulder-joints and the coat of mail, —wherefore he said to his charioteer—Turn thy hand, and convey me out of the host, for I am sore wounded.
35 Ary nihamafy ny ady tamin’ izany andro izany; ary ny mpanjaka notohanana hitsangana teo amin’ ny kalesiny tandrifin’ ny Syriana, ary dia maty izy nony efa harivariva ny andro; ary ny rà nandeha avy teo amin’ ny efa voa ho ao anatin’ ny kalesy.
But the battle increased that day, and, the king, was propped up in the chariot, before the Syrians, —and died in the evening, and so the blood of the wound ran out into the hollow of the chariot.
36 Ary nony efa hilentika ny masoandro, dia niely eran’ ny toby rehetra izao antsoantso izao hoe: Samia mody any an-tanànany avy sy any amin’ ny taniny avy!
And a loud cry went through the host, at the going in of the sun, saying—Every man to his own city! and every man to his own land!
37 Dia maty ny mpanjaka, ka nentina tany Samaria izy, dia nalevina tao.
So the king died, and was brought into Samaria, —and they buried the king, in Samaria.
38 Ary nony nosasana teo am-parihin’ i Samaria ny kalesiny, dia avy ny alika nilelaka ny ràny raha nandro tao ny vehivavy janga araka ny tenin’ i Jehovah.
And, when the chariot was washed out at the pool of Samaria, the dogs lapped up his blood, also, the harlots, bathed [there], —according to the word of Yahweh which he had spoken.
39 Ary ny tantaran’ i Ahaba sisa mbamin’ izay rehetra nataony sy ny trano ivory izay nataony ary ny tanàna rehetra izay naoriny, tsy efa voasoratra ao amin’ ny bokin’ ny tantaran’ ny mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely va izany?
Now, the rest of the story of Ahab, and all that he did, and the house of ivory that he built, and all the cities that he built, are, they, not written in the book of the Chronicles of the kings of Israel?
40 Ary Ahaba lasa nodi-mandry any amin’ ny razany; ary Ahazia zanany no nanjaka nandimby azy.
So Ahab slept with his fathers, —and, Ahaziah his son, reigned, in his stead.
41 Ary Josafata, zanak’ i Asa, vao nanjaka tamin’ ny Joda tamin’ ny taona fahefatra nanjakan’ i Ahaba, mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely.
Now, Jehoshaphat son of Asa, began to reign over Judah, —in the fourth year of Ahab, king of Israel.
42 Dimy amby telo-polo taona Josafata, fony izy vao nanjaka, ary dimy amby roa-polo taona no nanjakany tany Jerosalema. Ary ny anaran-dreniny dia Azoba, zanakavavin’ i Sily.
Jehoshaphat, was thirty-five years old when he began to reign, and, twenty-five years, reigned he in Jerusalem, —and, the name of his mother, was Azubah, daughter of Shilhi.
43 Ary nandeha tamin’ ny lalana rehetra izay nalehan’ i Asa rainy izy ka tsy niala tamin’ izany, fa nanao izay mahitsy eo imason’ i Jehovah; kanefa kosa ny fitoerana avo tsy mba noravana, fa ny olona mbola namono zavatra hatao fanatitra sady mbola nandoro ditin-kazo manitra teny amin’ ny fitoerana avo ihany.
And he walked in all the way of Asa his father, he turned not aside therefrom, —doing that which was right in the eyes of Yahweh: nevertheless, the high places, were not taken away, —still were the people offering sacrifices and burning incense in the high places.
44 Ary Josafata nanao fihavanana tamin’ ny mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely.
And Jehoshaphat made peace with the king of Israel.
45 Ary ny tantaran’ i Josafata sisa sy ny heriny mbamin’ ny niadiany, tsy efa voasoratra ao amin’ ny bokin’ ny tantaran’ ny mpanjakan’ ny Joda va izany?
Now, the rest of the story of Jehoshaphat, and his might that he shewed, and how he warred, are, they, not written in the book of the Chronicles of the kings of Judah?
46 Ary ny sisa amin’ ny olona izay nanolo-tena hijangajanga ho fanompoan-tsampy, dia Izay mbola tany tamin’ ny andron’ i Asa rainy, dia nofongorany hiala amin’ ny tany.
Moreover, the rest of the male devotees who remained in the days of Asa his father, he consumed out of the land.
47 Ary tsy nisy mpanjaka tany Edoma fahizay, fa olona voatendry no nitondra ny fanjakana.
And, king, was there none in Edom, a prefect, was king.
48 Ary Josafata nanao sambon’ i Tarsisy folo hankany Ofira haka volamena; nefa tsy lasa ireo sambo ireo, fa nahavakiana tao Ezion-gebera.
Jehoshaphat, made ships of Tarshish, to go to Ophir, for gold; but they went not, —for ships had been broken to pieces in Ezion-geber.
49 Dia hoy Ahazia, zanak’ i Ahaba, tamin’ i Josafata: Aoka ny vahoakako hiaraka amin’ ny vahoakanao any an-tsambo. Fa tsy nety Josafata.
Then, said Ahaziah son of Ahab, unto Jehoshaphat, Let, my servants, go with, thy servants, in the ships, —but Jehoshaphat did not consent.
50 Ary Josafata lasa nodi-mandry any amin’ ny razany, dia nalevina tao amin’ ny razany tao an-Tanànan’ i Davida rainy izy; ary Jehorama zanany no nanjaka nandimby azy.
So Jehoshaphat slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers, in the city of David his father, —and, Jehoram his son, reigned, in his stead.
51 Ahazia, zanak’ i Ahaba, vao nanjaka tamin’ ny Isiraely tao Samaria tamin’ ny taona fahafito ambin’ ny folo nanjakan’ i Josafata, mpanjakan’ ny Joda; ary nanjaka roa taona tamin’ ny Isiraely izy.
Ahaziah son of Ahab, began to reign over Israel, in Samaria, in the seventeenth year of Jehoshaphat king of Judah, —and reigned over Israel, two years.
52 Ary nanao izay ratsy eo imason’ i Jehovah izy, fa nandeha tamin’ ny lalan’ ny rainy sy ny reniny ary tamin’ ny lalan’ i Jeroboama, zanak’ i Nebata, izay nampanota ny Isiraely;
And he did the thing that was wicked in the eyes of Yahweh, —and went in the way of his father, and in the way of his mother, and in the way of Jeroboam son of Nebat, who caused, Israel, to sin.
53 ary nanompo an’ i Bala izy, dia niankohoka teo anatrehany ka nampahatezitra an’ i Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely, tahaka izay rehetra nataon-drainy.
Yea he served Baal, and bowed down to him, —and provoked to anger Yahweh, God of Israel, according to all that his father had done.
