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.
In the three and twentieth year of Joash the son of Achazyahu the king of Judah became Jehoachaz the son of Jehu king over Israel 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.
And he did what is evil in the eyes of the Lord, and followed the sins of Jerobo'am the son of Nebat, who induced Israel to sin: he departed not therefrom.
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.
And the anger of the Lord was kindled against Israel; and he gave them up into the hand of Chazael the king of Syria, and into the hand of Ben-hadad the son of Chazael, all the time.
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.
And Jehoachaz besought the Lord; and the Lord hearkened unto him; for he saw the oppression of Israel, how the king of Syria oppressed them.
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.
(And the Lord gave Israel a deliverer, so that they came out from under the power of the Syrians: and the children of Israel dwelt in their tents, as in times past.
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.
Nevertheless they departed not from the sins of the house of Jerobo'am, who induced Israel to sin, therein the people walked: and the Asherah also remained standing 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.
For he had left of people to Jehoachaz none but fifty horsemen, and ten chariots, and ten thousand men on foot; for the king of Syria had destroyed them, and had made them like the dust at threshing.
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?
Now the rest of the acts of Jehoachaz, and all that he did, and his mighty deeds, behold, they are written in the book of the 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.
And Jehoachaz slept with his fathers; and they buried him in Samaria: and Joash his son became king in his stead.
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.
In the thirty and seventh year of Joash the king of Judah became Jehoash the son of Jehoachaz king over Israel in Samaria, [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.
And he did what is evil in the eyes of the Lord; he departed not from all the sins of Jerobo'am the son of Nebat, who induced Israel to sin: therein he walked.
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?
And the rest of the acts of Joash, and all that he did, and his mighty deeds wherewith he fought against Amazyah the king of Judah, behold, they are written in the book of the 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.
And Joash slept with his fathers; and Jerobo'am sat upon his throne: and Joash 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!
Now Elisha' was fallen sick of his sickness whereof he had to die. And Joash the king of Israel came down unto him, and wept over his face, and said, O my father, my father, the chariot of Israel, and their horsemen.
15 Ary hoy Elisa taminy: Makà tsipìka sy zana-tsipìka. Ary dia naka tsipìka sy zana-tsipìka izy.
And Elisha' said unto him, Fetch a bow and arrows. And he fetched unto him a bow and 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.
And he said to the king of Israel, Place thy hand upon the bow. And he placed his hand [upon it]: and Elisha' laid his hands upon 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.
And he said, Open the window eastward. And he opened it. Then said Elisha', Shoot. And he shot. And he said, The arrow of victory from the Lord, and the arrow of victory over Syria; and thou shalt smite the Syrians in Aphek, till they be consumed.
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.
And he said, Take the arrows. And he took them. And he said unto the king of Israel, Strike upon the ground. And he struck three times, and 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.
And the man of God was angry with him, and said, Thou shouldst have struck five or six times; then wouldst thou have smitten the Syrians till they had been consumed: whereas now thou shalt smite the Syrians three times.
20 Ary dia maty Elisa ka nalevina. Ary ny mpitoha adin’ ny Moabita nananika ny tany amin’ ny fitsingerenan’ ny taona.
And Elisha' died, and they buried him. And the predatory bands of Moabites frequently invaded the land at the coming in of the year.
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.
And it came to pass, as they were burying a man, that, behold, they saw the band; and they cast down the man into the sepulchre of Elisha': and as the man came, and touched the bones of Elisha', he revived, and rose up on his feet.
22 Ary Hazaela, mpanjakan’ i Syria, nampahory ny Isiraely tamin’ ny andro rehetra nanjakan’ i Joahaza.
But Chazael the king of Syria oppressed Israel all the days of Jehoachaz.
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.
And the Lord became gracious unto them, and had mercy on them, and turned his regard unto them, because of his covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and would not destroy them, and he cast them not off from his presence even until now.
24 Ary maty Hazaela, mpanjakan’ i Syria; ary Beni-hadada zanany no nanjaka nandimby azy.
And Chazael the king of Syria died: and Ben-hadad his son became king in his stead.
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.
And Jehoash the son of Jehoachaz took again the cities out of the power of Ben-hadad the son of Chazael, which he had taken out of the power of Jehoachaz his father in the war. Three times did Joash beat him, and he recovered the cities of Israel.
