2 Mpanjaka 3
1 Ary Jorama, zanak’ i Ahaba, vao nanjaka tamin’ ny Isiraely tao Samaria tamin’ ny fahavalo ambin’ ny folo taona nanjakan’ i Josafata, mpanjakan’ ny Joda, ary nanjaka roa ambin’ ny folo taona izy.
Nowe Iehoram the sonne of Ahab beganne to reigne ouer Israel in Samaria, the eighteenth yeere of Iehoshaphat King of Iudah, and reigned twelue yeeres.
2 Ary nanao izay ratsy eo imason’ i Jehovah koa izy, nefa kosa tsy dia tahaka an-drainy, na tahaka an-dreniny; fa nanaisotra ilay tsangam-baton’ i Bala izay nataon’ drainy izy;
And he wrought euill in the sight of the Lord, but not like his father nor like his mother: for he tooke away the image of Baal that his father had made.
3 nefa izy nikikitra tamin’ ny fahotan’ i Jeroboama, zanak’ i Nebata, izay nampanotany ny Isiraely, fa tsy niala tamin’ izany.
Neuerthelesse, he cleaued vnto the sinnes of Ieroboam, the sonne of Nebat, which made Israel to sinne, and departed not therefrom.
4 Ary Mesa, mpanjakan’ i Moaba, nanana ondry betsaka; ary nandoa hetra ho an’ ny mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely izy, dia zanak’ ondry iray hetsy sy ny volon’ ondrilahy iray hetsy.
Then Mesha King of Moab had store of sheepe, and rendred vnto the King of Israel an hundreth thousande lambes, and an hundreth thousande rammes with the wooll.
5 Fa rehefa maty Ahaba, dia niodina tamin’ ny mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely ny mpanjakan’ i Moaba.
But when Ahab was dead, the king of Moab rebelled against the King of Israel.
6 Ary Jorama mpanjaka nivoaka avy tany Samaria tamin’ izany andro izany ka nandamina ny Isiraely rehetra.
Therefore King Iehoram went out of Samaria the same season, and nombred all Israel,
7 Ary nandeha izy, dia naniraka tany amin’ i Josafata, mpanjakan’ ny Joda, ka nanao hoe: Ny mpanjakan’ i Moaba efa niodina tamiko: koa mba hiaraka amiko va ianao hiady aminy? Ary hoy izy: Eny, handeha aho, fa tahaka ny tenanao ihany aho, ka ny oloko dia olonao, ary ny soavaliko dia soavalinao.
And went, and sent to Iehoshaphat King of Iudah, saying, The King of Moab hath rebelled against me: wilt thou goe with me to battell against Moab? And he answered, I will goe vp: for I am, as thou art, my people, as thy people, and mine horses as thine horses.
8 Ary hoy izy: Aiza ary no lalana halehantsika? Ary izy namaly hoe: Ilay mamaky ny efitr’ i Edoma.
Then said he, What way shall we goe vp? And he answered, The way of the wildernesse of Edom.
9 Dia nandeha ny mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely sy ny mpanjakan’ ny Joda ary ny mpanjakan’ i Edoma; ary nandeha nanodidina lalan-kafitoana izy; ary tsy nisy rano ho an’ ny miaramila sy ny biby fiompy izay nentiny.
So went the King of Israel and the king of Iudah, and the King of Edom, and when they had compassed the way seuen dayes, they had no water for the hoste, nor for the cattell that followed them.
10 Dia hoy ny mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely: Indrisy! Jehovah efa niantso ireto mpanjaka telo ireto mba hatolony eo an-tànan’ i Moaba.
Therefore the King of Israel sayde, Alas, that the Lord hath called these three Kings, to giue them into the hand of Moab.
11 Ary hoy Josafata: Tsy misy mpaminanin’ i Jehovah va eto hanontaniantsika amin’ i Jehovah? Ary nisy anankiray tamin’ ny mpanompon’ ny mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely namaly ka nanao hoe: Ato ihany Elisa, zanak’ i Safata, ilay mpanondra-drano ny tànan’ i Elia.
But Iehoshaphat saide, Is there not here a Prophet of the Lord, that we may inquire of the Lord by him? And one of the King of Israels seruants answered, and said, Here is Elisha the sonne of Shaphat, which powred water on the handes of Eliiah.
12 Ary hoy Josafata: Ao amin’ izy io tokoa ny tenin’ i Jehovah. Dia nidina nankany amin’ i Elisa ny mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely sy Josafata ary ny mpanjakan’ i Edoma.
Then Iehoshaphat saide, The worde of the Lord is with him. Therefore the King of Israel, and Iehoshaphat, and the King of Edom went downe to him.
13 Ary hoy Elisa tamin’ ny mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely: Moa mifaninona akory izaho sy ianao? Mandehana any amin’ ny mpaminanin-drainao sy ny mpaminanin-dreninao ianao. Fa hoy ny mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely taminy: Tsia, fa Jehovah efa niantso ireto mpanjaka telo ireto mba hatolony eo an-tànan’ i Moaba.
And Elisha sayde vnto the King of Israel, What haue I to doe with thee? get thee to the prophets of thy father and to the prophets of thy mother. And the King of Israel saide vnto him, Nay: for the Lord hath called these three Kings, to giue them into the hande of Moab.
14 Dia hoy Elisa: Raha velona koa Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro, Izay itsanganako eo anatrehany, raha tsy noho ny fanajako an’ i Josafata, mpanjakan’ ny Joda, dia tsy hanatrika anao na hijery anao akory aho.
Then Elisha said, As the Lord of hostes liueth, in whose sight I stande, if it were not, that I regarde the presence of Iehoshaphat the King of Iudah, I woulde not haue looked towarde thee, nor seene thee.
15 Nefa itondray mpitendry lokanga aho. Ary rehefa nitendry ilay mpitendry lokanga, dia nanindry an’ i Elisa ny tànan’ i Jehovah.
But nowe bring me a minstrel. And when the minstrel played, the hand of the Lord came vpon him.
16 Ary hoy Elisa: Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah: Ataovy feno lavaka ity lohasahan-driaka ity.
And he saide, Thus saith the Lord, Make this valley full of ditches.
17 Fa hoy Jehovah: Tsy hahita rivotra na ranonorana akory ianareo; nefa ho feno rano io lohasahan-driaka io, mba hosotroinareo, dia ianareo sy ny ombinareo ary ny biby fiompinareo.
For thus saith the Lord, Ye shall neither see winde nor see raine, yet the valley shalbe filled with water, that ye may drinke, both ye and your cattel, and your beastes.
18 Ary ho zavatra kely ihany eo imason’ i Jehovah izany; fa hanolotra ny Moabita eo an-tananareo koa Izy.
But this is a small thing in the sight of the Lord: for he will giue Moab into your hande.
19 Ary handrava ny tanàna mimanda rehetra sy ny tanàna soa rehetra ianareo sady hikapa ny hazo tsara rehetra sy hanampina ny loharano rehetra ary hanipy vato amin’ ny tany soa rehetra ho fanimbana azy.
And ye shall smite euery strong towne and euery chiefe citie, and shall fell euery faire tree, and shall stoppe all the fountaines of water, and marre euery good fielde with stones.
20 Ary nony maraina, tokony ho tamin’ ny fotoana fanaterana ny fanatitra, dia, indro, nisy rano tokoa tonga avy tamin’ ny lalana mankany Edoma, ka feno rano ny tany.
And in the morning whe the meat offring was offred, beholde, there came water by the way of Edom: and the countrey was filled with water.
21 Ary rehefa ren’ ny Moabita rehetra fa avy miakatra hiady aminy ireo mpanjaka ireo, dia nivory izy hatramin’ izay rehetra nahatam-piadiana no ho miakatra, ka dia niandry teo amin’ ny sisin-taniny.
And when al the Moabites heard that the Kings were come vp to fight against them, they gathered all that was able to put on harnesse, and vpwarde, and stood in their border.
22 Ary nony nifoha maraina koa ny Moabita, sady efa niposaka ny masoandro ka nitaratra tamin’ ny rano, dia hitany ny rano tandrifiny fa mena tahaka ny rà.
And they rose earely in the morning, when the sunne arose vpon the water, and the Moabites saw the water ouer against them, as red as blood.
23 Dia hoy izy: Rà io! efa nifandringana tokoa ireo mpanjaka ireo, ary efa nifamely izy rehetra; koa mamaboa amin’ izao, ry Moaba!
And they saide, This is blood the Kings are surely slaine, and one hath smitten another: now therefore, Moab, to the spoyle.
24 Kanjo nony efa tonga teo an-tobin’ ny Isiraely izy, dia nitsangana ny Isiraely ka namely ny Moabita, dia nandositra teo anoloany ireo; fa ny Isiraely niditra hatrany amin’ ny tanin’ ny Moabita ka mbola namely azy ihany.
And when they came to the host of Israel, the Israelites arose vp, and smote the Moabites, so that they fled before them, but they inuaded them, and smote Moab.
25 Dia nandrava ny tanàna izy ary samy nanipy vato tamin’ ny tany soa rehetra ka nahafeno azy, ary nanampina ny loharano rehetra koa izy sady nikapa ny hazo tsara rehetra mandra-paha-tsy nisy vato intsony afa-tsy ny tao Kira-haresa ihany; ary na dia io aza dia nohodidinin’ ny mpandefa antsamotady ka nasiany.
And they destroyed the cities: and on all the good field euery man cast his stone, and filled them and they stopt all the fountaines of water, and felled all the good trees: onely in Kirharaseth left they the stones thereof: howebeit they went about it with slings, and smote it.
26 Ary rehefa hitan’ ny mpanjakan’ i Moaba fa tsy tohany ny ady, dia nitondra fiton-jato lahy nahay sabatra nomba azy izy mba hanivakivaka hitsin’ ny mpanjakan’ i Edoma; nefa tsy afaka izy.
And when the King of Moab saw that the battel was too sore for him, he tooke with him seuen hudreth men that drew the sword, to break through vnto the King of Edom: but they could not.
27 Ary nalainy ny zanany lahimatoa, izay natao hanjaka handimby azy, ka nateriny ho fanatitra dorana teo ambonin’ ny manda. Dia niharan’ ny fahatezerana mafy ny Isiraely, dia niala taminy ary niverina ho any amin’ ny taniny izy.
Then he tooke his eldest sonne, that should haue reigned in his stead, and offered him for a burnt offring vpon the wall: so that Israel was sore grieued, and they departed from him, and returned to their countrey.
