1 Mpanjaka 20
1 Nanontoñe i hene valobohò’ey amy zao t’i Benehadade mpanjaka’ i Arame, reketse mpanjaka telopolo-ro’amby naho soavala vaho sarete le nionjomb’eo nañarikatoke i Somerone hialia’e,
Then Ben-hadad the King of Aram assembled all his armie, and two and thirtie Kings with him, with horses, and charets, and went vp and besieged Samaria, and fought against it.
2 le nampihitrife’e mb’amy Akabe mpanjaka’ Israele an-drova ao,
And he sent messengers to Ahab King of Israel, into the citie,
3 ty nampanoa’e ty hoe: Hoe t’i Benehadade: Ahy o volafoty naho volamena’oo; o vali’oo vaho o ana’oo, ahy ze hene soa ama’e.
And sayd vnto him, Thus sayth Ben-hadad, Thy siluer and thy golde is mine: also thy women, and thy fayre children are mine.
4 Nanoiñe aze ty mpanjaka’ Israele nanao ty hoe: Ie i sinaontsi’oy, ry talèko mpanjaka, azo iraho naho ze hene hanañako.
And the King of Israel answered, and sayd, My lord King, according to thy saying, I am thine, and all that I haue.
5 Nibalike mb’eo indraike o ìrakeo, nanao ty hoe: Zao ty asa’ i Benehadade: Toe nahitriko ama’o ty hoe: Haseseo amako o volafoti’oo, naho o volamena’oo naho o vali’oo vaho o ana’oo;
And when the messengers came againe, they said, Thus commandeth Ben-hadad, and saith, When I shall send vnto thee, and command, thou shalt deliuer me thy siluer and thy golde, and thy women, and thy children,
6 fa hiraheko mb’ ama’o mb’eo hamaray ami’ty andro hoe zao o mpitorokoo, le ho kodebe’ iereo ty anjomba’o, naho o anjombam-pitoro’oo; le ze soa am-pihaino’o ty hapo’ iareo am-pità’e vaho hendese’e añe.
Or els I will sende my seruants vnto thee by to morow this time: and they shall search thine house, and the houses of thy seruants: and whatsoeuer is pleasant in thine eyes, they shall take it in their handes, and bring it away.
7 Aa le songa kinoi’ i mpanjaka’ Israeley o roandria’ i taneio, nanao ty hoe: Ehe, isaho naho mahaoniña te midoha raha indatiy; fa pinai’e amako o valikoo naho o anakoo naho o volafotikoo naho o volamenakoo, le tsy niraràko.
Then the King of Israel sent for all the Elders of the land, and sayd, Take heede, I pray you, and see how he seeketh mischiefe: for he sent vnto me for my wiues, and for my children, and for my siluer, and for my golde, and I denyed him not.
8 Le hoe o androanavio naho ze hene ondaty ama’e, Ko mañaoñe aze, vaho ko miantoke.
And all the Elders, and all the people sayd to him, Hearken not vnto him, nor consent.
9 Aa le hoe re amy ìra’ i Benehadade rey: Saontsio ty hoe i talèko mpanjakay: Hene hanoeko o nañiraha’o amy mpitoro’oy am-baloha’eo; fe tsy hanoeko o raha zao. Aa le nienga o ìrakeo, ninday i entañe zay.
Wherefore hee sayde vnto the messengers of Ben-hadad, Tell my lorde the King, All that thou didddest sende for to thy seruant at the first time, that I will doe, but this thing I may not do. And the messengers departed, and brought him an answere.
10 Le hoe ty nañiraha’ i Benehadade ama’e: Ee te hanoe’ o ‘ndrahareo amako ndra mandikoatse naho mahaatsam-pità’ ze hene ondaty mañorik’ ahikoo ty debo’ i Somerone.
And Ben-hadad sent vnto him, and sayde, The gods do so to me and more also, if the dust of Samaria be ynough to all the people that follow me, for euery man an handfull.
11 Le hoe ty natoi’ i mpanjaka’ Israeley: Taroño ama’e: Ee te tsy hirengevoke manahake ty mañafake fikalañe ty mañombe aze.
And the King of Israel answered, and sayd, Tell him, Let not him that girdeth his harneis, boast himselfe, as he that putteth it off.
12 Ie nahajanjiñe izay t’i Benehadade, ie ninon-toake miharo amy mpanjaka rey an-kibohotse ao, le hoe re amo mpitoro’eo, Midadaña! Le nijadoñe niatreatre i rovay iereo.
And when he heard that tidings, as he was with the Kings drinking in the pauilions, he sayd vnto his seruants, Bring forth your engines, and they set them against the citie.
13 Niheo amy Akabe mpanjaka amy zao ty mpitoky, nanao ty hoe: Hoe ty tsara’ Iehovà, Fa niisa’o hao o valobohòke miheneheneo? Ingo, hatoloko am-pità’o te anito, soa te ho fohi’o te Izaho Iehovà.
And beholde, there came a Prophet vnto Ahab King of Israel, saying, Thus sayeth the Lord, Hast thou seene all this great multitude? beholde, I will deliuer it into thine hande this day, that thou mayest knowe, that I am the Lord.
14 Le hoe t’i Akabe: Añama’ ia? le hoe re: Hoe ty nafè’ Iehovà, o ajalahi’ o mpifehem-pokotaneo. Le hoe re: Ia ty hamototse i hotakotakey: le hoe ty natoi’e: Ihe.
And Ahab sayd, By whome? And he sayde, Thus sayth the Lord, By the seruants of the princes of the prouinces. He sayde againe, Who shall order the battel? And he answered, Thou.
15 Aa le tinendre’e ty ajalahi’ o mpifehem-pokotaneo: roanjato-tsi-telopolo-ro’amby iereo; ie amy zao tinendre’e ka o fonga ondatio, ze hene ana’ Israele: fito-arivo.
Then he nombred the seruantes of the princes of the prouinces, and they were two hundreth, two and thirtie: and after them he nombred the whole people of all the children of Israel, euen seuen thousand.
16 Niavotse an-tsingilingilieñe iereo. Fe ninoñe an-kibohotse ao t’i Benehadade himamoa’e, ie naho o mpanjakao, i mpanjaka telopolo-ro’ amby mpañolotse aze rey.
And they went out at noone: but Ben-hadad did drinke till he was drunken in the tentes, both he and the Kings: for two and thirtie Kings helped him.
17 Niavotse mb’eo valoha’e i ajalahi’ o mpifehem-pokotaneo rey; aa le nañirake t’i Benehadade, le nitaliliañe ty hoe: Ey ondaty miakatse i Someroneo.
So the seruants of the princes of the prouinces went out first: and Ben-hadad sent out, and they shewed him, saying, There are men come out of Samaria.
18 Le hoe re, He niakatse an-kanintsiñe iereo, endeso veloñe; ke niakatse hifandrapake, endeso veloñe.
And he sayde, Whether they be come out for peace, take them aliue: or whether they bee come out to fight, take them yet aliue.
19 Aa le niavotse i rovay iereo, i ajalahi’ o mpifehem-pokotaneo rey naho nañorike iareo o lahindefoñeo.
So they came out of the citie, to wit, the seruants of the princes of the prouinces, and the hoste which followed them.
20 Songa zinevo’ iareo ty ondati’e; vaho nitriban-day o nte-Arameo, le nihoridañe’ Israele; nipoliotse an-tsoavala reke-piningi-tsoavala t’i Benehadade mpanjaka’ i Arame.
And they slew euery one his enemie: and the Aramites fled, and Israel pursued them: but Ben-hadad ye King of Aram escaped on an horse with his horsemen.
21 Niavotse amy zao i mpanjaka’ Israeley le zinama’e o soavala-aman-tsareteo vaho zinevo’e o nte-Arameo am-pizamanam-bey.
And the King of Israel went out, and smote the horses and charets, and with a great slaughter slew he the Aramites.
22 Nimb’amy mpanjaka’ Israeley i mpitokiy, le nanoa’e ty hoe: Akia, mihaozara, le tsikarato naho hotsohotso o hanoe’oo; amy te hionjo-mb’etoa hiatreatre azo ty mpanjaka’ i Arame ami’ty fibalihan-taoñe.
(For there had come a Prophet to the King of Israel, and had sayd vnto him, Goe, be of good courage, and consider, and take heede what thou doest: for when the yeere is gone about, the King of Aram wil come vp against thee)
23 Fa nanao ty hoe amy mpanjaka’ i Aramey o mpitoro’eo: Andrianañahare’ o haboañeo t’i Andrianañahare’ iareo; aa le naozatse te aman-tika iereo; antao arè hialy ama’e amontoñe añe; fa toe haozatse te am’ iereo tika.
Then the seruants of the King of Aram said vnto him, Their gods are gods of the moutaines, and therefore they ouercame vs: but let vs fight against them in the playne, and doubtlesse we shall ouercome them.
24 Le ano zao: Songa asitaho an-toe’e o mpanjakao vaho solò mpifeleke ty an-toe’ iareo;
And this doe, Take the Kings away, euery one out of his place, and place captaines for them.
25 mamolilia valobohòke manahake i valobohòke nimotso ama’oy, soavala hasolo soavala, sarete hasolo sarete; hifandrapak’ am’ iereo amontoñe ao tika vaho toe ho fatratse te ama’e. Hinao’e ty feo’ iareo le nanoe’e.
And nomber thy selfe an armie, like the armie that thou hast lost, with such horses, and such charets, and we wil fight against them in the plaine, and doubtlesse we shall ouercome them: and he hearkened vnto their voyce, and did so.
26 Aa ie nihereñe ty taoñe le natonto’ i Benehadade o nte-Arameo, vaho nionjomb’e Afeke mb’eo hialy am’ Israele.
And after the yeere was gone about, Ben-hadad nombred the Aramites, and went vp to Aphek to fight against Israel.
27 Tinendre amy zao o ana’ Israeleo naho nivatieñe vaho niavotse niatrek’ ama’e; le nitobe aolo’ iereo o ana’ Israeleo hoe mpirai-liam-bik’ ose roe kedekedeke, ie nañatseke i taney o nte-Arameo.
And the children of Israel were nombred, and were all assembled and went against them, and the children of Israel pitched before them, like two litle flockes of kiddes: but the Aramites filled the countrey.
28 Nitotoke mb’eo amy zao ty ‘ndatin’ Añahare ninday tsara amy mpanjaka’ Israeley, ami’ty hoe: Hoe ty nafè’ Iehovà: Kanao nanao ty hoe o nte-Arameo: Andrianañahare’ o haboañeo t’Iehovà, fa tsy Andrianañahare’ o vavataneo; le fonga hatoloko am-pità’o i valobohòke bey heneheney vaho ho fohi’o te Izaho Iehovà.
And there came a man of God, and spake vnto the King of Israel, saying, Thus sayeth the Lord, Because the Aramites haue sayd, The Lord is the God of the mountaines, and not God of the valleis, therefore will I deliuer all this great multitude into thine hand, and ye shall know that I am the Lord.
29 Aa le nitobe nifañatreke fito andro iereo. Ie amy andro faha-fitoy le nionjoñe ty hotakotake; vaho zinevo’ o ana’ Israeleo ami’ty andro raike ty rai-hetse amo nte-Arame am-pandiao.
And they pitched one ouer against the other seuen dayes, and in the seuenth day the battel was ioyned: and the children of Israel slew of the Aramites an hundreth thousand footemen in one day.
30 Le nitriban-day mb’e Afeke añe o ila’eo, mb’ an-drova ao; fe nikorovok’ am’ ondaty ro’ ale-tsi-fito-arivo sehanga’eo i kijoliy. Aa le nipolititse mb’ amy rovay t’i Benehadade, ami’ty efe’e am-po’e ao.
But the rest fled to Aphek into the citie: and there fel a wall vpon seuen and twentie thousand men that were left: and Ben-hadad fled into the citie, and came into a secret chamber.
31 Le hoe o mpitoro’eo ama’e: Mahaoniña, fa tsinano’ay te mpanjaka mpitretrè o mpanjakan’ anjomba’ Israeleo; antao arè, mihalaly ama’o te hidian-gony am-bania tika naho hanampe vahotse añ’ambonen-tika vaho hiavotse mb’ amy mpanjaka’ Israeley mb’eo; he havotso’e ty fiai’o.
And his seruants sayd vnto him, Beholde nowe, we haue heard say that the Kings of the house of Israel are mercifull Kings: we pray thee, let vs put sacke cloth about our loynes, and ropes about our heads, and goe out to the King of Israel: it may be that he will saue thy life.
32 Aa le nisikin-gony am-bania iereo naho nanampe vahotse añ’ambone eo, vaho niavotse mb’amy mpanjaka’ Israeley mb’eo nanao ty hoe: Manao ty hoe ama’o i mpitoro’o Benehadadey: Miambane ama’o: angao ho velon-draho. Le hoe re: Toe mbe veloñe hao re? Rahalahiko ‘nio.
Then they gyrded sackecloth about their loynes, and put ropes about their heads, and came to the King of Israel, and sayd, Thy seruant Ben-hadad sayth, I pray thee, let me liue: and he sayd, Is he yet aliue? he is my brother.
33 Aa le rinambe’ indaty rey ho viloñe, ie tsinepak’ am-palie’e i saontsy zay vaho nanao ty hoe: I rahalahi’o Benehadadey ‘nio. Le hoe re: Akia hitrifo. Aa le niakatse mb’ama’e mb’eo t’i Benehadade naho najò’e an-tsarete’e ao,
Now the men tooke diliget heede, if they could catch any thing of him, and made haste, and sayd, Thy brother Ben-hadad. And he sayd, Go, bring him. So Ben-hadad came out vnto him, and he caused him to come vp vnto the chariot.
34 vaho hoe t’i Benehadade ama’e: Hampoliko o rova rinamben-draeko aman-drae’oo naho hamboare’o dokany e Damesèk’ ao manahake o namboaren-draeko e Someroneo. Izaho ka, hoe t’i Akabe, havotsoko irehe amy fañina zay. Aa le nifañina’e vaho navotso’e.
And Ben-hadad sayd vnto him, The cities, which my father tooke from thy father, I wil restore, and thou shalt make streetes for thee in Damascus, as my father did in Samaria. Then said Ahab, I will let thee goe with this couenant. So he made a couenant with him, and let him goe.
35 Teo amy zao t’indaty, ana-dahi’ o mpitokio, nisaontsy an-drañetse ty amy nitsara’ Iehovày, ty hoe: Ehe, lafao iraho. Fe tsy nimete handafa aze indatiy.
Then a certaine man of the children of the Prophets sayd vnto his neighbour by the comandement of the Lord, Smite me, I pray thee. But the man refused to smite him.
36 Le hoe re tama’e, Kanao tsy nihaoñe’o ty fiarañanaña’ Iehovà, Inao! vata’e mieng’ ahy irehe le ho zevoñe’ ty liona. Aa le vata’e niavotse re, tendrek’ aze ty liona nañe-doza ama’e.
Then sayd he vnto him, Because thou hast not obeyed the voyce of the Lord, beholde, as soone as thou art departed from me, a lyon shall slay thee. So when he was departed from him, a lyon found him and slew him.
37 Nanjo ondaty indraike re, le nanoa’e ty hoe: Ehe, Lafao iraho. Aa le linafa’ indatiy, finofo’e vaho nahafere aze.
Then he founde another man, and sayde, Smite mee, I pray thee. And the man smote him, and in smiting wounded him.
38 Le nienga mb’eo i mpitokiy, nandiñe i mpanjakay añ’olon-dalañe eo, ie nihonohono am-bandy ambonem-pihaino’e.
So the Prophet departed, and wayted for the King by the way, and disguised himselfe with ashes vpon his face.
39 Aa ie niary eo i mpanjakay le kinanji’e i mpanjakay, nanoe’e ty hoe: Naneñateña i hotakotakey ty mpitoro’o, le teo te nivike t’indaty nanese t’indaty amako nanao ty hoe: Tano ondatio; fa ndra ino ty maha-tsi-eo aze, le ty fiai’o ho a’ ty fiai’e, ke hondroha’o volafoty talenta raike.
And when the King came by, he cried vnto the King, and said, Thy seruant went into the middes of the battel: and beholde, there went away a man, whom another man brought vnto me, and sayd, Keepe this man: if he be lost, and want, thy life shall go for his life, or els thou shalt pay a talent of siluer.
40 Aa ie nitoloñe atoy naho aroy ty mpitoro’o, le nimosao re. Le hoe ty mpanjaka’ Israele ama’e: Aa le izay ty izakañ’ azo; izay ty linaha’o.
And as thy seruant had here and there to do, he was gone: And the King of Israel said vnto him, So shall thy iudgement be: thou hast giuen sentence.
41 Nafaha’e amy zao i bandy am-pihaino’eoy; le napota’ i mpanjakay t’ie mpiamo mpitokio.
And hee hasted, and tooke the ashes away from his face: and the King of Israel knewe him that he was of the Prophets:
42 Le hoe re tama’e: Hoe ty nafè’ Iehovà; Kanao navotso’o am-pità’o indaty tinendreko ho rotsaheñey, le ty fiai’o ty amy fiai’ey vaho ondati’oo ty am’ ondati’eo.
And he said vnto him, Thus saith the Lord, Because thou hast let goe out of thine handes a man whom I appoynted to dye, thy life shall goe for his life, and thy people for his people.
43 Aa le nimpoly mb’ añ’anjomba’e mb’eo i mpanjaka’ Israeley, nilonjetse naho nioremèñe t’ie nipoke e Somerone ao.
And the King of Israel went to his house heauie and in displeasure, and came to Samaria.
