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 twenty-third year of Joash son of Ahaziah king of Judah, Jehoahaz son of Jehu began to reign over Israel in Samaria; he reigned 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 sight of Yahweh and followed the sins of Jeroboam son of Nebat, who caused Israel to sin; and Jehoahaz did not turn away from 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.
The anger of Yahweh burned against Israel, and he gave them continually into the hand of Hazael king of Aram and into the hand of Ben Hadad son of Hazael.
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.
So Jehoahaz implored Yahweh, and Yahweh listened to him because he saw the oppression of Israel, how the king of Aram was oppressing 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.
So Yahweh gave Israel a rescuer, and they escaped from the hand of the Arameans, and the people of Israel began to live in their homes as they had 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.
Nevertheless, they did not depart from the sins of the house of Jeroboam, who caused Israel to sin, and they continued in them; and the Asherah pole remained 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.
The Arameans left Jehoahaz with only fifty horsemen, ten chariots, and ten thousand footmen, for the king of Aram had destroyed them and made them like the chaff at threshing time.
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?
As for the other matters concerning Jehoahaz, and all that he did and his power, are they not written in the book of the events 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.
So Jehoahaz slept with his ancestors, and they buried him in Samaria. Johoash his son became king in his place.
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-seventh year of Joash king of Judah, the reign of Jehoash son of Jehoahaz began over Israel in Samaria; he reigned 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 sight of Yahweh. He did not leave behind any of the sins of Jeroboam son of Nebat, by which he had made Israel to sin, but he walked in 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?
As for the other matters concerning Jehoash, and all that he did, and his might by which he fought against Amaziah king of Judah, are they not written in the book of the events 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 slept with his ancestors, 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!
Now Elisha became sick with an illness by which he later died, so Jehoash the king of Israel came down to him and wept over him. He said, “My father, my father, the chariots of Israel and the horsemen are taking you away!”
15 Ary hoy Elisa taminy: Makà tsipìka sy zana-tsipìka. Ary dia naka tsipìka sy zana-tsipìka izy.
Elisha said to him, “Pick up a bow and some arrows,” so Joash picked up 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.
Elisha said to the king of Israel, “Put your hand on the bow,” so he put his hand on it. Then Elisha laid 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.
Elisha said, “Open the window eastward,” so he opened it. Then Elisha said, “Shoot!”, and he shot. Elisha said, “This is Yahweh's arrow of victory, the arrow of victory over Aram, for you will attack the Arameans in Aphek until you have consumed them.”
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, “Take the arrows,” so Joash took them. He said to the king of Israel, “Strike the ground with them,” and he struck the ground three times, 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.
But the man of God was angry with him and said, “You should have hit the ground five or six times. Then you would have attacked Aram until you annihilated it, but now you will attack Aram only three times.”
20 Ary dia maty Elisa ka nalevina. Ary ny mpitoha adin’ ny Moabita nananika ny tany amin’ ny fitsingerenan’ ny taona.
Then Elisha died, and they buried him. Now groups of Moabites invaded the land at the beginning 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.
As they were burying a certain man, they saw a group of Moabites, so they threw the body into Elisha's grave. As soon as the man touched Elisha's bones, he revived and stood up on his feet.
22 Ary Hazaela, mpanjakan’ i Syria, nampahory ny Isiraely tamin’ ny andro rehetra nanjakan’ i Joahaza.
Hazael king of Aram oppressed Israel all the days of Jehoahaz.
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 Yahweh was gracious to Israel, and had compassion on them and concern for them, because of his covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. So Yahweh did not destroy them, and he still has not driven them away from his presence.
24 Ary maty Hazaela, mpanjakan’ i Syria; ary Beni-hadada zanany no nanjaka nandimby azy.
Hazael king of Aram died, and Ben Hadad his son became king in his place.
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.
Jehoash son of Jehoahaz took back from Ben Hadad son of Hazael the cities that had been taken from Jehoahaz his father by war. Jehoash attacked him three times, and he recovered those cities of Israel.
