2 Mpanjaka 1
1 Ary Moaba niodina tamin’ ny Isiraely, rehefa maty Ahaba.
Then did Moab rebel against Israel after the death of Achab.
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 Achazyah fell down through the lattice in his upper chamber that was in Samaria, and became sick; and he sent messengers, and said unto them, Go, inquire of Ba'al-zebub the god of 'Ekron whether I shall recover from 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 spoke 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 not a God in Israel, that ye go to inquire of Ba'al-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 hath said the Lord, From the bed on which thou art gone up shalt thou not come down; for thou 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 this that ye are already 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 he said unto us, Go, return unto the king that hath sent you, and speak unto him, Thus hath said the Lord, Is it because there is not a God in Israel, that thou sendest to inquire of Ba'al-zebub the god of 'Ekron? therefore from the bed on which thou art gone up shalt thou not come down; for thou shalt surely die.
7 Ary hoy izy taminy: Lehilahy toy inona izay niakatra nitsena anareo izay ka nilaza izany teny izany taminareo?
And he spoke unto them, What is the manner of the man who came up to meet you, and spoke unto 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 said unto him, He is a hairy man, with a girdle of leather girded 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 did he send unto him a captain of fifty with his fifty: and he went up to him, and, behold, he was sitting on the top of the mount; and he spoke unto him, O man of God, the king hath commanded, 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 spoke to the captain of the fifty, And if I be a man of God, let a fire come down from heaven and consume thee and thy fifty. And there came down a 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 he sent again unto him another captain of fifty with his fifty. And he commenced and spoke 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 spoke unto them, If I be a man of God, let a 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 he sent again a captain of fifty the third time with his fifty. And the third captain of fifty went up, and came and bent down on his knees before Elijah, and besought him, and spoke unto him, O man of God, I pray thee, let my life and the life of these fifty thy servants be precious in thy eyes.
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 down a fire from heaven, and consumed the two captains of the first fifties with their fifties; and now let my life be precious in thy eyes.
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 spoke 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 spoke unto him, Thus hath said the Lord, Forasmuch as thou didst send messengers to inquire of Ba'al-zebub the God of 'Ekron, as though there were no God in Israel to inquire of his word: therefore from the bed on which thou art gone up shalt thou not come down; for thou 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.
And he died, according to the word of the Lord which Elijah had spoken; and Jehoram became king in his stead in the second year of Jehoram the son of Jehoshaphat the 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 Achazyahu which he did, behold, they are written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel.
