1 Mpanjaka 22
1 Ary nandry fahizay ny Syriana sy ny Isiraely telo taona, fa tsy niady.
Three years passed without war between Aram and Israel.
2 Ary nony tamin’ ny taona fahatelo, dia nidina Josafata, mpanjakan’ ny Joda, ho any amin’ ny mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely.
Then it came about that in the third year, Jehoshaphat the king of Judah went down to 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?
Now the king of Israel had said to his servants, “Do you know that Ramoth Gilead is ours, but that we are doing nothing to take it from the hand of the king of Aram?”
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.
So he said to Jehoshaphat, “Will you go with me to war at Ramoth Gilead?” Jehoshaphat replied to the king of Israel, “I am like you, my people are like your people, and my horses are like your horses.”
5 Ary hoy Josafata tamin’ ny mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely: Masìna ianao, anontanio aloha ny tenin’ i Jehovah.
Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel, “Please seek direction from the word of Yahweh for what you should do first.”
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 the king of Israel gathered the prophets together, four hundred men, and said to them, “Should I go to Ramoth Gilead to battle, or should I not?” They said, “Attack, for the Lord will give it into the hand of the king.”
7 Ary hoy kosa Josafata: Moa tsy misy mpaminanin’ i Jehovah koa va eto mba hanontaniantsika?
But Jehoshaphat said, “Is there not here yet another prophet of Yahweh from whom we might seek advice?”
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.
The king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, “There is still one man by whom we may seek advice from Yahweh to help, Micaiah son of Imlah, but I hate him because he does not prophesy anything good about me, but only hardships.” But Jehoshaphat said, “May the king not say that.”
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 an officer and commanded, “Bring Micaiah son of Imlah, right away.”
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 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.
11 Ary Zedekia, zanak’ i Kenana, dia nanao tandroby ka nanao hoe: Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah: ireto no hanotoanao ny Syriana mandra-paharingany.
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.'”
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.
Then all the prophets prophesied the same, saying, “Attack Ramoth Gilead and win, for Yahweh has given 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.
The messenger who went to call Micaiah spoke to him, saying, “Now look, the words of the prophets declare good things to the king with one mouth. Please let your word be like one of them and say good things.”
14 Ary hoy Mikaia: Raha velona koa Jehovah, dia izay lazain’ i Jehovah amiko ihany no hambarako.
Micaiah replied, “As Yahweh lives, it is what Yahweh says to me that I will say.”
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.
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 win. Yahweh will give 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
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?”
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.
So Micaiah said, “I saw all Israel scattered to the mountains, like sheep who have no shepherd, and Yahweh said, 'These have no shepherd. Let every man return to his 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?
So the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, “Did I not tell you that he would not prophesy good concerning me, but only disaster?”
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 Micaiah said, “Therefore hear the word of Yahweh: I saw Yahweh sitting on his throne, and all the host of heaven were 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.
Yahweh said, 'Who will entice Ahab, so that he may go up and fall at Ramoth Gilead?' One of them said this and another one said that.
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 a spirit came forward, stood before Yahweh, and said, 'I will entice him.' Yahweh said to him, 'How?'
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.
The spirit replied, 'I will go out and be 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.'
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 see, Yahweh has put a lying spirit in the mouth of all these prophets of yours, and Yahweh has decreed disaster for you.”
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 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?”
25 Dia hoy Mikaia: Indro, ho hitanao izany amin’ ny andro hidiranao ao amin’ ny efi-trano anatiny hierenao.
Micaiah said, “Look, you will see on that day when you will go to hide in an inner room.”
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,
The king of Israel said to his servant, “Seize Micaiah and take him to Amon, the governor of the city, and to Joash, my son.
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.
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 come safely.'”
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 Micaiah said, “If you return safely, then Yahweh has not spoken by me.” Then he added, “Listen to this, all you people.”
29 Dia niakatra nankany Ramota-gileada ny mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely sy Josafata, mpanjakan’ ny Joda.
So Ahab, the king of Israel, and Jehoshaphat, the king of Judah, went up to 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.
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 went 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 Aram had commanded the thirty-two captains of his chariots, saying, “Do not attack unimportant or important soldiers. Instead, attack only the king of Israel.”
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.
It came about that when the captains of the chariots saw Jehoshaphat they said, “Surely that is the king of Israel.” They turned to attack him, so Jehoshaphat cried out.
33 Ary rehefa hitan’ ireo komandin’ ny kalesy fa tsy ny mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely izy, dia niverina niala taminy ireo.
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.
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 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.”
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.
The battle grew worse that day and the king was held up in his chariot facing the Arameans. He died in the evening. The blood ran out from his wound into the bottom 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!
Then about the time the sun was going down, a cry went up throughout the army, saying, “Every man should go back to his city; and every man should go back to his region!”
37 Dia maty ny mpanjaka, ka nentina tany Samaria izy, dia nalevina tao.
So King Ahab died and was brought to Samaria, and they buried him 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.
They washed the chariot by the pool of Samaria, and the dogs licked up his blood (this was where the prostitutes bathed), just as the word of Yahweh had declared.
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?
As for the other matters concerning Ahab, all that he did, the ivory house that he built, and all the cities that he built, are they not written in the book of the events 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 ancestors, and Ahaziah his son became king in his place.
41 Ary Josafata, zanak’ i Asa, vao nanjaka tamin’ ny Joda tamin’ ny taona fahefatra nanjakan’ i Ahaba, mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely.
Then 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 he reigned in Jerusalem twenty-five years. His mother's name was Azubah, the 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.
He walked in the ways of Asa, his father; he did not turn away from them; he did what was right in the eyes of Yahweh. Yet the high places were not taken away. The people were still sacrificing and burning incense on the high places.
44 Ary Josafata nanao fihavanana tamin’ ny mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely.
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?
As for the other matters concerning Jehoshaphat, and the might that he showed, and how he waged war, are they not written in the book of the events 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.
He removed from the land the rest of the cultic prostitutes who had remained in the days of his father Asa.
47 Ary tsy nisy mpanjaka tany Edoma fahizay, fa olona voatendry no nitondra ny fanjakana.
There was no king in Edom, but a deputy ruled there.
48 Ary Josafata nanao sambon’ i Tarsisy folo hankany Ofira haka volamena; nefa tsy lasa ireo sambo ireo, fa nahavakiana tao Ezion-gebera.
Jehoshaphat built oceangoing ships; they were to go to Ophir for gold, but they did not go because the ships were wrecked at 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 Ahaziah son of Ahab said to Jehoshaphat, “Let my servants sail with your servants in the ships.” But Jehoshaphat would not allow it.
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.
Jehoshaphat slept with his ancestors and was buried with them in the city of David, his ancestor; Jehoram his son became king in his place.
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 he reigned two years over Israel.
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;
He did what was evil in the sight of Yahweh and walked in the way of his father, in the way of his mother, and in the way of Jeroboam son of Nebat, by which he led 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.
He served Baal and worshiped him and so he provoked Yahweh, the God of Israel, to anger, just as his father had done.
