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.

And Jehoram son of Ahab hath reigned over Israel, in Samaria, in the eighteenth year of Jehoshaphat king of Judah, and he reigneth twelve years,

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 doth the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah, only not like his father, and like his mother, and he turneth aside the standing-pillar of Baal that his father made;

3 nefa izy nikikitra tamin’ ny fahotan’ i Jeroboama, zanak’ i Nebata, izay nampanotany ny Isiraely, fa tsy niala tamin’ izany.

only to the sins of Jeroboam son of Nebat that he caused Israel to sin he hath cleaved, he hath not turned aside from it.

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.

And Mesha king of Moab was a sheep-master, and he rendered to the king of Israel a hundred thousand lambs, and a hundred thousand rams, [with] wool,

5 Fa rehefa maty Ahaba, dia niodina tamin’ ny mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely ny mpanjakan’ i Moaba.

and it cometh to pass at the death of Ahab, that the king of Moab transgresseth against the king of Israel.

6 Ary Jorama mpanjaka nivoaka avy tany Samaria tamin’ izany andro izany ka nandamina ny Isiraely rehetra.

And king Jehoram goeth out in that day from Samaria, and inspecteth 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 goeth and sendeth unto Jehoshaphat king of Judah, saying, 'The king of Moab hath transgressed against me; dost thou go with me unto Moab for battle?' and he saith, 'I go up, as I, so thou; as my people, so thy people; as my horses, so thy horses.

8 Ary hoy izy: Aiza ary no lalana halehantsika? Ary izy namaly hoe: Ilay mamaky ny efitr’ i Edoma.

And he saith, 'Where [is] this — the way we go up?' and he saith, 'The way of the wilderness 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.

And the king of Israel goeth, and the king of Judah, and the king of Edom, and they turn round the way seven days, and there hath been no water for the camp, and for the cattle that [are] at their feet,

10 Dia hoy ny mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely: Indrisy! Jehovah efa niantso ireto mpanjaka telo ireto mba hatolony eo an-tànan’ i Moaba.

and the king of Israel saith, 'Alas, for Jehovah hath called for these three kings, to give 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.

And Jehoshaphat saith, 'Is there not here a prophet of Jehovah, and we seek Jehovah by him?' And one of the servants of the king of Israel answereth and saith, 'Here [is] Elisha son of Shaphat, who poured water on the hands of Elijah.'

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.

And Jehoshaphat saith, 'The word of Jehovah is with him;' and go down unto him do the king of Israel, and Jehoshaphat, and the king of Edom.

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 saith unto the king of Israel, 'What — to me and to thee? go unto the prophets of thy father, and unto the prophets of thy mother;' and the king of Israel saith to him, 'Nay, for Jehovah hath called for these three kings to give them into the hand 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.

And Elisha saith, 'Jehovah of Hosts liveth, before whom I have stood; for unless the face of Jehoshaphat king of Judah I am lifting up, I do not look unto thee, nor see thee;

15 Nefa itondray mpitendry lokanga aho. Ary rehefa nitendry ilay mpitendry lokanga, dia nanindry an’ i Elisa ny tànan’ i Jehovah.

and now, bring to me a minstrel; and it hath been, at the playing of the minstrel, that the hand of Jehovah is on him,

16 Ary hoy Elisa: Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah: Ataovy feno lavaka ity lohasahan-driaka ity.

and he saith, 'Thus said Jehovah, Make this valley ditches — 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 said Jehovah, Ye do not see wind, nor do ye see rain, and that valley is full of water, and ye have drunk — ye, and your cattle, and your beasts.

18 Ary ho zavatra kely ihany eo imason’ i Jehovah izany; fa hanolotra ny Moabita eo an-tananareo koa Izy.

'And this hath been light in the eyes of Jehovah, and he hath given Moab into your hand,

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 have smitten every fenced city, and every choice city, and every good tree ye cause to fall, and all fountains of waters ye stop, and every good portion ye mar 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 it cometh to pass in the morning, at the ascending of the [morning] -present, that lo, waters are coming in from the way of Edom, and the land is filled with the waters,

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 all Moab have heard that the kings have come up to fight against them, and they are called together, from every one girding on a girdle and upward, and they stand by the 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 rise early in the morning, and the sun hath shone on the waters, and the Moabites see, from over-against, the waters 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 say, 'Blood this [is]; the kings have been surely destroyed, and they smite each his neighbour; and now for spoil, Moab!'

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 they come in unto the camp of Israel, and the Israelites rise, and smite the Moabites, and they flee from their face; and they enter into Moab, so as to smite 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 the cities they break down, and [on] every good portion they cast each his stone, and have filled it, and every fountain of water they stop, and every good tree they cause to fall — till one had left its stones in Kir-Haraseth, and the slingers go round and smite 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 the king of Moab seeth that the battle has been too strong for him, and he taketh with him seven hundred men, drawing sword, to cleave through unto the king of Edom, and they have not been able,

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.

and he taketh his son, the first-born who reigneth in his stead, and causeth him to ascend — a burnt-offering on the wall, and there is great wrath against Israel, and they journey from off him, and turn back to the land.
