2 Mpanjaka 8

1 Ary Elisa efa niteny tamin-dravehivavy, renin’ ilay zaza maty novelominy, ka nanao hoe: Miaingà, ka mandehana ianao sy ny ankohonanao, ary mivahinia any amin’ izay azonao hivahiniana; fa Jehovah efa niantso ny mosary, sady efa ho tonga izany ka haharitra fito taona amin’ ny tany.

Now Elisha had said to the woman whose son he had given back to life, Go now, with all the people of your house, and get a living-place for yourselves wherever you are able; for by the word of the Lord, there will be great need of food in the land; and this will go on for seven years.

2 Dia niainga ravehivavy ka nanao araka ny tenin’ ilay lehilahin’ Andriamanitra; eny, lasa izy sy ny ankohonany ka nivahiny fito taona tany amin’ ny tanin’ ny Filistina.

So the woman got up and did as the man of God said; and she and the people of her house were living in the land of the Philistines for seven years.

3 Ary nony afaka ny fito taona, dia nody avy tany amin’ ny tanin’ ny Filistina ravehivavy; ary lasa nitaraina tamin’ ny mpanjaka izy ny amin’ ny tranony sy ny taniny.

And when the seven years were ended, the woman came back from the land of the Philistines and went to the king with a request for her house and her land.

4 Ary ny mpanjaka niteny tamin’ i Gehazy, zatovon’ ny lehilahin’ Andriamanitra, hoe: Masìna ianao, lazao amiko izay zava-dehibe rehetra nataon’ i Elisa.

Now the king was talking with Gehazi, the servant of the man of God, saying, Now, give me an account of all the great things Elisha has done.

5 Ary raha mbola nilazalaza tamin’ ny mpanjaka ny amin’ ny nameloman’ i Elisa ny maty izy dia, indro, ilay vehivavy renin’ ny zaza maty novelominy, nitaraina tamin’ ny mpanjaka ny amin’ ny tranony sy ny taniny. Ary hoy Gehazy: Ry mpanjaka tompoko ô, ity ilay vehivavy, ary io koa ilay zanany maty novelomin’ i Elisa.

And while he was giving the king the story of how Elisha had given life to the dead, the woman whose son had come back to life came to the king with a request for her house and her land. And Gehazi said, My lord king, this is the woman and this is her son, whose life Elisha gave back to him.

6 Ary nony nanontanian’ ny mpanjaka ravehivavy, dia nilaza. Ary dia notendren’ ny mpanjaka ny tandapa anankiray ka nomeny teny hoe: Avereno izay azy rehetra, ary onero ny vokatry ny taniny rehetra hatramin’ ny andro nialany tamin’ ny tany ka mandraka ankehitriny.

And in answer to the king's questions, the woman gave him all the story. So the king gave orders to one of his unsexed servants, saying, Give her back all her property, and all the produce of her fields from the day when she went away from the land up till now.

7 Ary Elisa tonga tany Damaskosy tamin’ i Beni-hadada, mpanjakan’ i Syria, narary; ary nisy nanambara taminy hoe: Indro, tonga atỳ ny lehilahin’ Andriamanitra.

And Elisha came to Damascus; and Ben-hadad, king of Aram, was ill; and they said to him, The man of God has come.

8 Dia hoy ny mpanjaka tamin’ i Hazaela: Mitondrà fanomezana eny an-tananao, ka mandehana, mitsenà ilay lehilahin’ Andriamanitra, ary manontania izay tenin’ i Jehovah aminy ka ataovy hoe: Ho sitrana ihany va aho amin’ izao aretiko izao?

Then the king said to Hazael, Take an offering with you, and go to see the man of God and get directions from the Lord by him, saying, Am I going to get better from my disease?

9 Dia lasa Hazaela nitsena azy sady nitondra fanomezana tamin’ izay zava-tsoa rehetra any Damaskosy, dia entana entin-drameva efa-polo; ary tonga izy ka nitsangana teo anatrehany ary nanao hoe: Beni-hadada zanakao, mpanjakan’ i Syria, no naniraka ahy ho atỳ aminao hanontany hoe: Ho sitrana ihany va aho amin’ izao aretiko izao?

So Hazael went to see him, taking with him forty camels with offerings on their backs of every sort of good thing from Damascus; and when he came before him, he said, Your son Ben-hadad, king of Aram, has sent me to you, saying, Will I get better from this disease?

10 Ary hoy Elisa taminy: Mandehana, ka lazao aminy hoe: Eny, ho sitrana tokoa ianao. Kanefa Jehovah efa naneho ahy fa ho faty tokoa izy.

And Elisha said to him, Go, say to him, You will certainly get better; but the Lord has made it clear to me that only death is before him.

11 Ary nibanjina azy mandra-pikaodikaodiny izy; ary dia nitomany ny lehilahin’ Andriamanitra.

And he kept his eyes fixed on him till he was shamed, and the man of God was overcome with weeping.

12 Ary hoy Hazaela: Nahoana no mitomany ianao, tompoko? Ary izy namaly hoe: Satria fantatro izay ratsy hataonao amin’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely: ny fiarovany mafy hodoranao, ny zatovony hovonoinao amin’ ny sabatra, ny zanany madinika hotorotoroinao, ary izay bevohoka eo aminy hotatahanao.

And Hazael said, Why is my lord weeping? Then he said in answer, Because I see the evil which you will do to the children of Israel: burning down their strong towns, putting their young men to death with the sword, smashing their little ones against the stones, and cutting open the women who are with child.

13 Fa hoy Hazaela: Fa zinona moa ny mpanomponao, dia ity alika ity, no dia hahavita izany zavatra lehibe izany? Fa Elisa namaly hoe: Efa nasehon’ i Jehovah tamiko fa, indro, ianao ho mpanjakan’ i Syria.

And Hazael said, How is it possible that your servant, who is only a dog, will do this great thing? And Elisha said, The Lord has made it clear to me that you will be king over Aram.

14 Dia niala tamin’ i Elisa izy ka nankany amin’ ny tompony; ary izy nanontany azy hoe: Ahoana no nolazain’ i Elisa taminao? Dia namaly hoe izy: Nolazainy tamiko fa ho velona tokoa ianao.

Then he went away from Elisha and came in to his master, who said to him, What did Elisha say to you? And his answer was, He said that you would certainly get well.

15 Ary nony ampitso, dia nalain’ i Hazaela ny lamba firakotra ka natsobony tamin’ ny rano ary nasarony ny tavan’ i Beni-hadada, ka dia maty izy; ary Hazaela no nanjaka nandimby azy.

Now on the day after, Hazael took the bed-cover, and making it wet with water, put it over Ben-hadad's face, causing his death: and Hazael became king in his place.

16 Ary tamin’ ny taona fahadimy nanjakan’ i Jorama, zanak’ i Ahaba, mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely, no vao nanjakan’ i Jehorama, zanak’ i Josafata, mpanjakan’ ny Joda, tamin’ ny nanjakan’ i Josafata tany Joda.

In the fifth year of Joram, the son of Ahab, king of Israel, Jehoram, the son of Jehoshaphat, king of Judah, became king.

17 Roa amby telo-polo taona izy, fony vao nanjaka, ary valo taona no nanjakany tany Jerosalema.

He was thirty-two years old when he became king; and he was ruling in Jerusalem for eight years.

18 Ary nandeha tamin’ ny lalan’ ny mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely izy, dia tahaka ny nataon’ ny taranak’ i Ahaba, fa ny zanakavavin’ i Ahaba no vadiny, eny, nanao izay ratsy eo imason’ i Jehovah izy.

He went in the ways of the kings of Israel, as the family of Ahab did: for the daughter of Ahab was his wife; and he did evil in the eyes of the Lord.

19 Nefa Jehovah tsy nety nandringana ny Joda noho ny amin’ i Davida mpanompony, araka ilay nolazainy taminy fa homeny jiro mandrakizay ho an’ ny taranany.

But it was not the Lord's purpose to send destruction on Judah, because of David his servant, to whom he had given his word that he would have a light for ever.

20 Tamin’ ny androny no niodinan’ i Edoma ka tsy nanoa ny Joda, fa nanangana mpanjaka ho azy;

In his time, Edom made themselves free from the rule of Judah, and took a king for themselves.

21 ka dia nankany Zaïra Jehorama, ary ny kalesy rehetra nentiny hiaraka aminy; ary nanaovany latsak’ alina ny Edomita, izay nanodidina azy, mbamin’ ny komandin’ ny kalesy; ary ny olona nandositra nody.

Then Joram went over to Zair, with all his war-carriages; ... made an attack by night on the Edomites, whose forces were all round him, ... the captains of the war-carriages; and the people went in flight to their tents.

22 Ary Edoma mbola niodina ka tsy nanoa ny Joda mandraka androany. Ary Libna koa dia niodina tamin’ izany andro izany.

So Edom made themselves free from the rule of Judah to this day. And at the same time, Libnah made itself free.

23 Ary ny tantaran’ i Jehorama sisa mbamin’ izay rehetra nataony, tsy efa voasoratra ao amin’ ny bokin’ ny tantaran’ ny mpanjakan’ ny Joda va?

Now the rest of the acts of Joram, and all he did, are they not recorded in the book of the history of the kings of Judah?

24 Ary Jehorama lasa nodimandry any amin’ ny razany, dia nalevina tao amin’ ny razany tao an-tanànan’ i Davida; ary Ahazia zanany no nanjaka nandimby azy.

And Joram went to rest with his fathers and was put into the earth with his fathers in the town of David: and Ahaziah his son became king in his place.

25 Ary tamin’ ny taona faharoa ambin’ ny folo nanjakan’ i Jorama, zanak’ i Ahaba, mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely, no vao nanjakan’ i Ahazia, zanak’ i Jehorama, mpanjakan’ ny Joda,

In the twelfth year that Joram, the son of Ahab, was king of Israel, Ahaziah, the son of Jehoram, king of Judah, became king;

26 Roa amby roa-polo taona Ahazia, fony izy vao nanjaka, ary herintaona no nanjakany tany Jerosalema. Ary ny anaran-dreniny dia Atalia, zanakavavin’ i Omry, mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely.

Ahaziah was twenty-two years old when he became king, and he was ruling in Jerusalem for one year. His mother's name was Athaliah, the daughter of Omri, king of Israel.

27 Ary nandeha tamin’ ny lalan’ ny taranak’ i Ahaba izy, ka nanao izay ratsy eo imason’ i Jehovah tahaka ny nataon’ ny taranak’ i Ahaba, fa vinanton’ ny taranak’ i Ahaba ihany izy.

He went in the ways of the family of Ahab, and did evil in the eyes of the Lord as the family of Ahab did, for he was a son-in-law of the family of Ahab.

28 Ary niaraka tamin’ i Jorama, zanak’ i Ahaba, izy mba hiady amin’ i Hazaela, mpanjakan’ i Syria, tany Ramota-gileada; ary ny Syriana nahavoa an’ i Jorama.

He went with Joram, the son of Ahab, to make war on Hazael, king of Aram, at Ramoth-gilead: and Joram was wounded by the Aramaeans.

29 Dia niverina Jorama mpanjaka mba hotsaboina tao Jezirela amin’ ny feriny tamin’ ny nahavoazan’ ny Syriana azy tao Rama, fony izy niady tamin’ i Hazaela, mpanjakan’ i Syria. Ary Ahazia, zanak’ i Jehorama, mpanjakan’ ny Joda, nidina hamangy an’ i Jorama, zanak’ i Ahaba, teo Jezirela, satria narary izy.

So King Joram went back to Jezreel to get well from the wounds which the bowmen had given him at Ramah, when he was fighting against Hazael, king of Aram. And Ahaziah, the son of Jehoram, king of Judah, went down to see Joram, the son of Ahab, in Jezreel, because he was ill.
