2 Mpanjaka 13
1 Tamin’ ny taona fahatelo amby roa-polo nanjakan’ i Joasy, zanak’ i Ahazia, mpanjakan’ ny Joda, no vao nanjakan’ i Joahaza, zanak’ i Jeho, tamin’ ny Isiraely tany Samaria, ary nanjaka fito ambin’ ny folo taona izy.
Jehoahaz, son of Jehu, became king of Israel in the twenty-third year of the reign of Joash, son of Ahaziah, king of Judah. He reigned in Samaria for seventeen years.
2 Ary nanao izay ratsy eo imason’ i Jehovah izy, fa nanaraka ny fahotan’ i Jeroboama, zanak’ i Nebata, izay nampanotany ny Isiraely; tsy niala tamin’ izany izy.
He did what was evil in the Lord's sight, and followed the sins that Jeroboam son of Nebat, had made Israel commit; he did not end them.
3 Ary ny fahatezeran’ i Jehovah nirehitra tamin’ ny Isiraely, ka dia natolony teo an-tanan’ i Hazaela, mpanjakan’ i Syria, sy teo an-tanan’ i Beni-hadada, zanak’ i Hazaela, mandrakariva izy.
So the Lord was angry with Israel, and he repeatedly allowed them to be defeated by Hazael, king of Aram, and his son Ben-hadad.
4 Ary Joahaza nifona tamin’ i Jehovah, dia nohenoin’ i Jehovah izy, satria hitany ny fahorian’ ny Isiraely, fa nampahory azy ny mpanjakan’ i Syria.
Jehoahaz asked the Lord for help, and the Lord responded to his request because he saw how badly the king of Aram was treating Israel.
5 Ary Jehovah nanome mpamonjy ho amin’ ny Isiraely, ka dia afaka tamin’ ny tanan’ ny Syriana izy; ary nandry fahizay toy ny teo aloha ny Zanak’ Isiraely.
The Lord gave Israel someone who would save them so they no longer were under Aramean rule. Then the Israelites were able to go back to living in safety as before.
6 Kanefa tsy niala tamin’ ny fahotan’ ny taranak’ i Jeroboama, izay nampanotany ny Isiraely, izy, fa nandeha tamin’ izany ihany, ary na dia ilay Aseraha aza dia mbola tao Samaria ihany.
Even so they did not end the sins that the house of Jeroboam had made Israel commit—they continued to follow them. The Asherah idol still stood in Samaria.
7 Fa tsy nisy sisa navelan’ i Jehovah ho an’ i Joahaza, afa-tsy mpitaingin-tsoavaly dimam-polo sy kalesy folo ary miaramila an-tongotra iray alina; fa ny mpanjakan’ i Syria efa nandringana azy ka nanao azy ho toy ny vovoka hitsakitsahina.
All that was left of Jehoahaz's army were fifty horsemen, ten chariots, and ten thousand soldiers, for the king of Aram had destroyed the rest, turning them into dust like that when grain is threshed.
8 Ary ny tantaran’ i Joahaza sisa mbamin’ izay rehetra nataony ary ny heriny, tsy efa voasoratra ao amin’ ny bokin’ ny tantaran’ ny mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely va izany?
The rest of what happened in Jehoahaz's reign, all he did, and his great achievements are recorded in the Book of Chronicles of the Kings of Israel.
9 Ary Joahaza lasa nodi-mandry any amin’ ny razany, dia nalevina tao Samaria izy; ary Joasy zanany no nanjaka nandimby azy.
Jehoahaz died and was buried in Samaria. His son Jehoash succeeded him as king.
10 Tamin’ ny taona fahafito amby telo-polo nanjakan’ i Joasy, mpanjakan’ ny Joda, no vao nanjakan’ i Joasy, zanak’ i Joahaza, tamin’ ny Isiraely tany Samaria, ary nanjaka enina ambin’ ny folo taona izy.
Jehoash, son of Jehoahaz, became king of Israel in Samaria in the thirty-seventh year of the reign of King Joash of Judah, and he reigned for sixteen years.
11 Ary nanao izay ratsy eo imason’ i Jehovah izy; fa tsy niala tamin’ ny fahotana rehetra izay nataon’ i Jeroboama, zanak’ i Nebata, sady nampanotany ny Isiraely; fa nandeha tamin’ izany ihany izy.
He did what was evil in the Lord's sight and did not end all the sins that Jeroboam, son of Nebat, had made Israel commit—he continued to follow them.
12 Ary ny tantaran’ i Joasy sisa mbamin’ izay rehetra nataony sy ny heriny niadiany tamin’ i Amazia, mpanjakan’ ny Joda, tsy efa voasoratra ao amin’ ny bokin’ ny tantaran’ ny mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely va izany?
The rest of what happened in Jehoash's reign, all he did, and his great achievements such as his war against Amaziah, king of Judah, are recorded in the Book of Chronicles of the Kings of Israel.
13 Ary Joasy lasa nodi-mandry any amin’ ny razany, ary Jeroboama nipetraka tamin’ ny seza fiandrianany; ary Joasy dia nalevina tany Samaria tao amin’ ny mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely.
Jehoash died, and Jeroboam sat on his throne. Jehoash was buried in Samaria with the kings of Israel.
14 Ary Elisa dia nararin’ ny aretina izay hahafaty azy. Ary Joasy, mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely, nidina nankany aminy ka niondrika nitomany teo ambonin’ ny tavan’ i Elisa ka nanao hoe: Ry ikaky ô, ry ikaky ô, ny kalesin’ ny Isiraely sy ny mpitaingin-tsoavaliny!
Elisha had become ill with a disease that would eventually kill him. Jehoash, king of Israel, went to visit him, and wept over him, saying, “My father, my father, the chariots and the horsemen of Israel!”
15 Ary hoy Elisa taminy: Makà tsipìka sy zana-tsipìka. Ary dia naka tsipìka sy zana-tsipìka izy.
Elisha told him, “Find a bow and some arrows.” So Jehoash found a bow and some arrows.
16 Ary hoy izy tamin’ ny mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely: Henjano ny tsipìka. Dia nohenjaniny; ary Elisa nametraka ny tànany teo amin’ ny tanan’ ny mpanjaka.
Then Elisha said to the king of Israel, “Pick up the bow.” So the king picked up the bow. Elisha placed his hands on the king's hands.
17 Ary hoy izy: Vohay ny varavarankely atsinanana. Ary dia novohany. Dia hoy Elisa: Alefao. Ka dia nalefany. Ary hoy izy: Zana-tsipìkan’ ny famonjen’ i Jehovah, dia zana-tsipìkan’ ny famonjena hahavoa ny Syriana! fa hamely ny Syriana ao Afeka ianao mandra-pandringanao azy.
“Open the east window,” he told him. So the king opened it and Elisha said, “Shoot!” So he fired an arrow. Then Elisha explained, “This is the Lord's victory arrow representing the arrow of victory over the Arameans. You will attack the Arameans in Aphek and finish them off.”
18 Ary hoy koa izy: Raiso ny zana-tsipìka. Dia noraisiny. Ary hoy izy tamin’ ny mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely: Kapohy ny tany. Ary nokapohiny intelo, dia nitsahatra izy.
Then Elisha said, “Pick up the arrows!” So he picked them up. Elisha told the king of Israel, “Hit the ground with them!” He hit the ground three times, and then stopped.
19 Ary ilay lehilahin’ Andriamanitra dia tezitra taminy ka nanao hoe: Tokony ho nikapoka indimy na inenina ianao, dia ho nasianao ny Syriana mandra-pandringanao azy; fa izao dia intelo ihany no hamelezanao ny Syriana.
The man of God got angry with him, telling him, “You should have hit the ground five or six times. Then you would have attacked the Arameans until you had completely destroyed them. But now you will only attack the Arameans three times.”
20 Ary dia maty Elisa ka nalevina. Ary ny mpitoha adin’ ny Moabita nananika ny tany amin’ ny fitsingerenan’ ny taona.
Elisha died and was buried. Raiders from the country of Moab used to invade Israel every spring.
21 Ary nisy nandevina olona, dia, indro, nahita ireo mpitoha ady izy, ka dia natsipiny tao am-pasan’ i Elisa ny faty; ary raha vao nitehika tamin’ ny taolan’ i Elisa ny fatin-dralehilahy, dia velona izy ka nijoro tamin’ ny tongony.
On time some Israelites were burying a man when suddenly they saw some raiders coming, so they quickly threw the man into Elisha's tomb. As soon as he touched Elisha's bones, the man came back to life and stood up.
22 Ary Hazaela, mpanjakan’ i Syria, nampahory ny Isiraely tamin’ ny andro rehetra nanjakan’ i Joahaza.
Hazael, king of Aram, caused problems for Israel through all Jehoahaz's reign.
23 Fa Jehovah namindra fo taminy sy niantra azy ary nitsinjo azy noho ny fanekeny tamin’ i Abrahama sy Isaka ary Jakoba, ka tsy ta-handringana azy na hanaisotra azy tsy ho eo anatrehany mandraka ankehitriny.
But the Lord graciously helped them and was kind to them. He looked after them because of his agreement with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Even to this day he's been unwilling to destroy them or to throw them out of his presence.
24 Ary maty Hazaela, mpanjakan’ i Syria; ary Beni-hadada zanany no nanjaka nandimby azy.
When Hazael, king of Aram, died, his son Ben-hadad succeeded him as king.
25 Ary Joasy, zanak’ i Joahaza, naka indray teo an-tànan’ i Beni-hadada, zanak’ i Hazaela, ny tanàna izay efa nalain’ i Hazaela teo an-tànan’ i Joahaza, rain’ i Joasy, tamin’ ny ady. Intelo no nandresen’ i Joasy azy, ka dia azony indray ny tanànan’ ny Isiraely.
Then Jehoash, son of Jehoahaz, recovered from Ben-hadad son of Hazael, the towns that Hazael had captured from his father Jehoahaz. Jehoash defeated Ben-hadad three times, and so recaptured the Israelite towns.
