2 Mpanjaka 1
1 Ary Moaba niodina tamin’ ny Isiraely, rehefa maty Ahaba.
AND MOAB rebelled against Israel after the death of Ahab.
2 Ary Ahazia nianjera avy teo amin’ ny makarakara teo amin’ ny efi-trano ambony tao Samaria ka narary; dia naniraka olona izy ka nanao taminy hoe: Mandehana, anontanio amin’ i Bala-zeboba, andriamanitr’ i Ekrona, na ho sitrana ihany aho amin’ ity aretiko ity, na tsia.
And Ahaziah fell down through the lattice in his upper chamber that was in Samaria, and was sick; and he sent messengers, and said unto them: 'Go, inquire of Baal-zebub the god of Ekron whether I shall recover of this sickness.'
3 Ary Ilay Anjelin’ i Jehovah niteny tamin’ i Elia Tisbira hoe: Miaingà, miakara hihaona amin’ ny iraky ny mpanjakan’ i Samaria, ka manaova aminy hoe: Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah: Moa ataonareo fa tsy misy Andriamanitra eo amin’ ny Isiraely va, no mandeha hanontany amin’ i Bala-zeboba, andriamanitr’ i Ekrona, ianareo?
But an angel of the LORD said to Elijah the Tishbite: 'Arise, go up to meet the messengers of the king of Samaria, and say unto them: Is it because there is no God in Israel, that ye go to inquire of Baal-zebub the god of Ekron?
4 Koa noho izany dia tsy hidina hiala amin’ ny farafara izay niakaranao ianao, fa ho faty tokoa. Ary dia lasa Elia.
Now therefore thus saith the LORD: Thou shalt not come down from the bed whither thou art gone up, but shalt surely die.' And Elijah departed.
5 Dia niverina tany amin’ ny mpanjaka ny iraka, ka hoy izy taminy: Nahoana re no niverina ianareo?
And the messengers returned unto him, and he said unto them: 'Why is it that ye are returned?'
6 Ary hoy ireo taminy: Nisy lehilahy niakatra nitsena anay ka nanao taminay hoe: Mandehana miverina any amin’ ny mpanjaka izay naniraka anareo, ka lazao aminy hoe: Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah: Moa ataonareo fa tsy misy Andriamanitra eo amin’ ny Isiraely va, no maniraka hanontany amin’ i Bala-zeboba, andriamanitr’ i Ekrona, ianareo? Koa noho izany dia tsy hidina hiala amin’ ny farafara izay niakaranao ianao, fa ho faty tokoa.
And they said unto him: 'There came up a man to meet us, and said unto us: Go, return unto the king that sent you, and say unto him: Thus saith the LORD: Is it because there is no God in Israel, that thou sendest to inquire of Baal-zebub the god of Ekron? therefore thou shalt not come down from the bed whither thou art gone up, but shalt surely die.'
7 Ary hoy izy taminy: Lehilahy toy inona izay niakatra nitsena anareo izay ka nilaza izany teny izany taminareo?
And he said unto them: 'What manner of man was he that came up to meet you, and told you these words?'
8 Ary ireo namaly azy hoe: Lehilahy mitafy volom-biby izy, sady nisy fehin-kibo hoditra tamin’ ny valahany. Dia hoy izy: Elia Tisbita izay.
And they answered him: 'He was a hairy man, and girt with a girdle of leather about his loins.' And he said: 'It is Elijah the Tishbite.'
9 Ary ny mpanjaka naniraka mpifehy dimam-polo anankiray mbamin’ ny dimam-polo fehiny hankany aminy. Dia niakatra tany aminy izy; ka indro izy nipetraka teo an-tampon’ ny tendrombohitra; ary niteny taminy ralehilahy hoe: Ry lehilahin’ Andriamanitra ô, midìna ianao, antsoin’ ny mpanjaka.
Then the king sent unto him a captain of fifty with his fifty. And he went up to him; and, behold, he sat on the top of the hill. And he spoke unto him: 'O man of God, the king hath said: Come down.'
10 Fa Elia namaly ka nanao tamin’ ny mpifehy dimam-polo hoe: Raha lehilahin’ Andriamanitra tokoa aho, dia aoka hisy afo milatsaka avy any an-danitra handevona anao sy ny dimam-polo fehinao. Ary dia nisy afo nilatsaka avy tany an-danitra ka nandevona azy mbamin’ ny dimam-polo fehiny.
And Elijah answered and said to the captain of fifty: 'If I be a man of God, let fire come down from heaven, and consume thee and thy fifty.' And there came down fire from heaven, and consumed him and his fifty.
11 Dia naniraka mpifehy dimam-polo anankiray mbamin’ ny dimam-polo fehiny hankany aminy koa ny mpanjaka. Dia niteny izy ka nanao taminy hoe: Ry lehilahin’ Andriamanitra ô, midìna faingana ianao, antsoin’ ny mpanjaka.
And again he sent unto him another captain of fifty with his fifty. And he answered and said unto him: 'O man of God, thus hath the king said: Come down quickly.'
12 Fa namaly Elia ka nanao taminy hoe: Raha lehilahin’ Andriamanitra tokoa aho, dia aoka hisy afo milatsaka avy any an-danitra ka handevona anao mbamin’ ny dimam-polo fehinao. Ary dia nisy afon’ Andriamanitra nilatsaka avy tany an-danitra ka nandevona azy mbamin’ ny dimam-polo fehiny.
And Elijah answered and said unto them: 'If I be a man of God, let fire come down from heaven, and consume thee and thy fifty.' And the fire of God came down from heaven, and consumed him and his fifty.
13 Ary dia naniraka mpifehy dimam-polo anankiray koa indray mbamin’ ny dimam-polo fehiny izy. Dia niakatra ilay mpifehy dimam-polo ka tonga, ary nandohalika teo anatrehan’ i Elia ka nifona taminy nanao hoe: Masìna ianao, ry lehilahin’ Andriamanitra ô, aoka ho zava-tsoa eo imasonao ny aiko sy ny ain’ ireto mpanomponao dimam-polo ireto.
And again he sent the captain of a third fifty with his fifty. And the third captain of fifty went up, and came and fell on his knees before Elijah, and besought him, and said unto him: 'O man of God, I pray thee, let my life, and the life of these fifty thy servants, be precious in thy sight.
14 Indro, efa nisy afo nilatsaka avy tany an-danitra ka nandevona ireo roa lahy mpifehy dimam-polo ireo mbamin’ ny dimam-polo fehiny avy; fa aoka kosa ho zava-tsoa eo imasonao ny aiko ankehitriny.
Behold, there came fire down from heaven, and consumed the two former captains of fifty with their fifties; but now let my life be precious in thy sight'
15 Ary hoy Ilay Anjelin’ i Jehovah tamin’ i Elia: Midìna ihany hiaraka aminy ianao; fa aza matahotra azy. Ary dia niainga izy ka nidina niaraka taminy ho any amin’ ny mpanjaka.
And the angel of the LORD said unto Elijah: 'Go down with him; be not afraid of him.' And he arose, and went down with him unto the king.
16 Ary hoy izy tamin’ ny mpanjaka: Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah: Satria naniraka olona hanontany amin’ i Bala-zeboba, andriamanitr’ i Ekrona, ianao, hoatra ny tsy misy Andriamanitra eo amin’ ny Isiraely, dia tsy hidina hiala amin’ ny farafara izay niakaranao ianao fa ho faty tokoa.
And he said unto him: 'Thus saith the LORD: Forasmuch as thou hast sent messengers to inquire of Baal-zebub the god of Ekron, is it because there is no God in Israel to inquire of His word? therefore thou shalt not come down from the bed whether thou art gone up, but shalt surely die.'
17 Ka dia maty izy araka ny tenin’ i Jehovah izay nolazain’ i Elia. Ary satria tsy nanan-janaka izy, dia Jorama no nanjaka nandimby azy tamin’ ny taona faharoa nanjakan’ i Jehorama, zanak’ i Josafata, mpanjakan’ ny Joda.
So he died according to the word of the LORD which Elijah had spoken. And Jehoram began to reign in his stead in the second year of Jehoram the son of Jehoshaphat king of Judah; because he had no son.
18 Ary ny asan’ i Ahazia sisa izay nataony, tsy efa voasoratra ao amin’ ny bokin’ ny tantaran’ ny mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely va izany?
Now the rest of the acts of Ahaziah which he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
