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,
Ben Hadad the king of Aram gathered all his army together; and there were thirty-two kings with him, and horses and chariots: and he went up and besieged Samaria, and fought against it.
2 le nampihitrife’e mb’amy Akabe mpanjaka’ Israele an-drova ao,
He sent messengers to Ahab king of Israel, into the city, and said to him, "Thus says Ben Hadad,
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.
'Your silver and your gold is mine. Your wives also and your children, even the best, are mine.'"
4 Nanoiñe aze ty mpanjaka’ Israele nanao ty hoe: Ie i sinaontsi’oy, ry talèko mpanjaka, azo iraho naho ze hene hanañako.
The king of Israel answered, "It is according to your saying, my lord, O king. I am yours, and all that I have."
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;
The messengers came again, and said, "Ben Hadad says, 'I sent indeed to you, saying, "You shall deliver me your silver, and your gold, and your wives, and your 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.
but I will send my servants to you tomorrow about this time, and they shall search your house, and the houses of your servants; and it shall be, that whatever is pleasant in their eyes, they shall put it in their hand, and take 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 called all the elders of the land, and said, "Please notice how this man seeks mischief; for he sent to me for my wives, and for my children, and for my silver, and for my gold; and I did not deny him."
8 Le hoe o androanavio naho ze hene ondaty ama’e, Ko mañaoñe aze, vaho ko miantoke.
All the elders and all the people said to him, "Do not listen, neither 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.
Therefore he said to the messengers of Ben Hadad, "Tell my lord the king, 'All that you sent for to your servant at the first I will do; but this thing I cannot do.'" The messengers departed, and brought him back the message.
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.
Ben Hadad sent to him, and said, "The gods do so to me, and more also, if the dust of Samaria shall suffice for handfuls for all the people who follow me."
11 Le hoe ty natoi’ i mpanjaka’ Israeley: Taroño ama’e: Ee te tsy hirengevoke manahake ty mañafake fikalañe ty mañombe aze.
The king of Israel answered, "Tell him, 'Do not let him who puts on his armor brag like he who takes 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.
It happened, when Ben Hadad heard this message, as he was drinking, he and the kings, in the pavilions, that he said to his servants, "Prepare to attack." They prepared to attack the city.
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.
Look, a prophet came near to Ahab king of Israel, and said, "Thus says the LORD, 'Have you seen all this great multitude? Look, I will deliver it into your hand this day; and you shall know 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.
Ahab said, "By whom?" He said, "Thus says the LORD, 'By the young men of the governors of the districts.'" Then he said, "Who shall begin the battle?" He answered, "You."
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 mustered the young men of the governors of the districts, and they were two hundred and thirty-two. After them, he mustered all the people, even all the children of Israel, being seven 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.
They went out at noon. But Ben Hadad was drinking himself drunk in the pavilions, he and the kings, the thirty-two kings who 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.
the young men of the governors of the districts went out first; and Ben Hadad sent out, and they told him, saying, "Men are coming out from Samaria."
18 Le hoe re, He niakatse an-kanintsiñe iereo, endeso veloñe; ke niakatse hifandrapake, endeso veloñe.
He said, "If they have come out for peace, take them alive; or if they have come out for war, take them alive."
19 Aa le niavotse i rovay iereo, i ajalahi’ o mpifehem-pokotaneo rey naho nañorike iareo o lahindefoñeo.
So these went out of the city, the young men of the governors of the districts, and the army 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.
They each killed his man. The Arameans fled, and Israel pursued them. Ben Hadad the king of Aram escaped on a horse with horsemen.
21 Niavotse amy zao i mpanjaka’ Israeley le zinama’e o soavala-aman-tsareteo vaho zinevo’e o nte-Arameo am-pizamanam-bey.
The king of Israel went out, and struck the horses and chariots, and killed the Arameans with a great slaughter.
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.
The prophet came near to the king of Israel, and said to him, "Go, strengthen yourself, and mark, and see what you do; for at the return of the year the king of Aram will come up against you."
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.
The servants of the king of Aram said to him, "Their god is a god of the hills; therefore they were stronger than we. But let us fight against them in the plain, and surely we shall be stronger than they.
24 Le ano zao: Songa asitaho an-toe’e o mpanjakao vaho solò mpifeleke ty an-toe’ iareo;
Do this thing: take the kings away, every man out of his place, and put captains in their place.
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.
Muster an army, like the army that you have lost, horse for horse, and chariot for chariot. We will fight against them in the plain, and surely we will be stronger than them." He listened to their voice, 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.
It happened at the return of the year, that Ben Hadad mustered the Arameans, and went up 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.
The children of Israel were mustered, and were provisioned, and went against them. The children of Israel camped before them like two little flocks of young goats; but the Arameans filled the country.
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.
A man of God came near and spoke to the king of Israel, and said, "Thus says the LORD, 'Because the Arameans have said, "The LORD is a god of the hills, but he is not a god of the valleys"; therefore I will deliver all this great multitude into your hand, and you 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.
They camped one over against the other seven days. So it was, that in the seventh day the battle was joined; and the children of Israel killed one hundred thousand footmen of the Arameans 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 city; and the wall fell on twenty-seven thousand men who were left. Ben Hadad fled, and came into the city, into an inner room.
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.
His servants said to him, "See now, we have heard that the kings of the house of Israel are merciful kings. Please let us put sackcloth on our bodies, and ropes on our heads, and go out to the king of Israel. Maybe he will save your 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.
So they put sackcloth on their bodies and ropes on their heads, and came to the king of Israel, and said, "Your servant Ben Hadad says, 'Please let me live.'" He said, "Is he still alive? 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 were looking for an omen, and they seized upon it from him, and they said, "Ben Hadad is your brother." Then he said, "Go, bring him." Then Ben Hadad came out to him, and he had him come up into 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.
Ben Hadad said to him, "The cities which my father took from your father I will restore. You shall make streets for yourself in Damascus, as my father made in Samaria." "I," said Ahab, "will let you go with this covenant." So he made a covenant with him, and let him go.
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.
A certain man of the sons of the prophets said to his fellow by the word of the LORD, "Please strike me." The man refused to strike 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 he said to him, "Because you have not obeyed the voice of the LORD, look, as soon as you are departed from me, a lion shall kill you." As soon as he was departed from him, a lion found him, and killed 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 found another man, and said, "Please strike me." The man struck him, smiting and wounding 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 waited for the king by the way, and disguised himself with his headband over his eyes.
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.
As the king passed by, he cried to the king; and he said, "Your servant went out into the midst of the battle; and look, a man turned aside, and brought a man to me, and said, 'Guard this man. If by any means he be missing, then your life shall be for his life, or else you shall pay a talent of silver.'
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.
As your servant was busy here and there, he was gone." The king of Israel said to him, "So your judgment shall be; you yourself have decided it."
41 Nafaha’e amy zao i bandy am-pihaino’eoy; le napota’ i mpanjakay t’ie mpiamo mpitokio.
He hurried, and took the headband away from his eyes; and the king of Israel recognized 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.
He said to him, "Thus says the LORD, 'Because you have let go out of your hand the man whom I had devoted to destruction, therefore your life shall go for his life, and your 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.
The king of Israel went to his house sullen and angry, and came to Samaria.
