1 Mpanjaka 21
1 Ie añe, teo t’indaty atao Nabote nte-Iezreele, ty tanem-bahe’e nifañefetse amy anjomba’ i Akabe, mpanjaka’ i Someroneiy.
And it came to pass after these events, that Naboth the Yizre'elite had a vineyard, which was in Yizre'el, near the palace of Achab the king of Samaria.
2 Le hoe t’i Akabe amy Nabote: Atoloro ahy o tanem-bahe’oo hanoeko golobon’ añañe, amy t’ie marine i trañokoy; ke ho soloako tanem-bahe soa te ama’e, he, naho atao’o ho soa, le hitolorako ty drala mañeva.
And Achab spoke unto Naboth, saying, Give me thy vineyard, that it may serve me for a herb-garden, because it is near unto my house; and I will give thee in its stead a vineyard better than it; [or, ] if it seem good in thy eyes, I will give thee the money, the value of the same.
3 Aa hoe t’i Nabote amy Akabe: Fa rinara’ Iehovà iraho tsy hatoloko azo i lovan-droaekoy.
And Naboth said to Achab, Far be it from me before the Lord, that I should give the inheritance of my fathers unto thee.
4 Aa le nanjetoke naho nanjokòke t’i Akabe te nimoak’ añ’anjomba’e ao amy nisaontsie’ i Nabote nte-Iezreele ty hoe: Tsy hitolorako ty lovan-droaeko; le nandre am-pandrea’e eo, nitoli-daharañe vaho tsy nete nikama mofo.
And Achab came into his house low-spirited and displeased because of the word which Naboth the Yizre'elite had spoken to him, when he said, I will not give unto thee the inheritance of my fathers. And he laid himself down upon his bed, and turned away his face, and would eat no food.
5 Nimb’ama’e t’Iizebele tañanjomba’e, nanao ama’e ty hoe: Ino ty mahalonjetse o arofo’oo, ihe tsy mahafikama?
But Izebel his wife came to him, and spoke unto him, Why is thy spirit so sad! and why eatest thou no food?
6 Le hoe re ama’e: Fa vinolako t’i Nabote nte-Iezreele ami’ty hoe: Aletaho amako an-drala o tanem-bahe’oo; he naho tea’o hitolorako tanem-bahe hafa ho solo’e; le hoe ty natoi’e: Tsy hatoloko azo i tanem-bahekoy.
And he said unto her, Because I spoke unto Naboth the Yizre'elite, and said unto him, Give me thy vineyard for money; or else, if it please thee, I will give thee a vineyard in its stead; but he hath said, I will not give unto thee my vineyard.
7 Le hoe t’Iizebele vali’e ama’e: Tsy ihe hao ty mifehe i fifehea’ Israeley? Miongaha, mikamà vaho mirebeha an-troke; fa hatoloko azo i tanem-bahen-te Iezreeley.
Then said unto him Izebel his wife, Dost thou now govern the kingdom of Israel? arise, eat bread, and let thy heart be merry: I will myself give thee the vineyard of Naboth the Yizre'elite.
8 Aa le nanokitse taratasy re ami’ty tahina’ i Akabe naho vinoli-tombo’e am-bolim-pitombo’e naho nahitri’e amo androanavio naho amo roandriañe an-drovao vaho amo nitrao-pimoneñe amy Naboteo.
So she wrote letters in Achab's name, and sealed them with his seal; and she sent the letters unto the elders and unto the nobles who were in his city, and who dwelt near Naboth.
9 Hoe ty sinoki’e amy taratasy rey: Koiho ty lilitse le onjono ho aolo’ ondatio t’i Nabote;
And she wrote in the letters, saying, Proclaim a fast, and cause Naboth to sit at the head of the people;
10 naho ampipoho ondaty roe tsivokatse hiatrek’ aze, hanisý aze ami’ty hoe: Namatse an’ Andrianañahare naho i mpanjakay irehe. Le aseseo alafe ey re vaho ametsaho vato hihomaha’e.
And seat two men, worthless fellows, opposite to him, and let them bear witness against him, saying, Thou hast blasphemed God and the king; and then lead him forth, and stone him, that he may die.
11 Aa le nanoe’ ondati’ i rovaio, o androanavio naho o roandriañe mpimoneñe an-drova’ao i nahitri’ Iizebele am’ iereoy, i sinokitse amy taratasy nahitri’e am’iereoy.
And the men of his city, the elders and the nobles, those who dwelt in his city, did as Izebel had sent unto them, as was written in the letters which she had sent unto them.
12 Nikoike lilitse iereo naho napoke aolo’ ondatio t’i Nabote.
They proclaimed a fast, and caused Naboth to sit at the head of the people.
13 Le nizilik’ ao t’indaty roe tsivokatse niambesatse añatrefa’e; nanara-vande amy Nabote añatrefa’ ondatio i tsivokatse rey, ami’ty hoe: Namatse an’ Andrianañahare naho i mpanjakay t’i Nabote. Aa le nasese’ iareo niakatse i rovay, nametsa-bato ama’e am-para’ te nihomake.
And there came in two men, worthless fellows, and seated themselves opposite to him; and these worthless men testified against him, against Naboth, in the presence of the people, saying, Naboth hath blasphemed God and the king. Then they led him forth out of the city, and stoned him with stones, that he died.
14 Nahitri’ iereo amy Iizebele amy zao ty hoe: Fa nametsaham-bato t’i Nabote vaho nihomake.
And they sent to Izebel, saying, Naboth hath been stoned, and is dead.
15 Aa ie tsinano’ Iizebele te finetsa-bato t’i Nabote vaho fa nihomake, le hoe t’Iizebele amy Akabe: Miongaha, rambeso i tanem-bahe’ i Nabote nte-Iezreeley, i tsy natolo’e azo an-dralay; amy te tsy veloñe t’i Nabote fa mate.
And it came to pass, when Izebel heard that Naboth had been stoned, and was dead, that Izebel said to Achab, Arise, take possession of the vineyard of Naboth the Yizre'elite, which he refused to give thee for money; for Naboth is not alive, but dead.
16 Aa ie jinanji’ i Akabe te nihomake t’i Nabote, le niavotse mb’ amy tanem-bahe’ i Nabote nte-Iezreeley mb’eo t’i Akabe hanaña’e aze.
And it came to pass, when Achab heard that Naboth was dead, that Achab rose up to go down to the vineyard of Naboth the Yizre'elite, to take possession of it.
17 Le niheo amy Elià nte-Tisbè ty tsara’ Iehovà, nanao ty hoe:
And the word of the Lord came to Elijah the Tishbite, saying,
18 Miavota, mizotsoa hifanalaka amy Akabe mpanjaka’ Israele, mpimoneñe e Somerone; inao t’ie an-tanem-bahe’ i Nabote ao, nizotso mb’eo hanaña’e.
Arise, go down to meet Achab the king of Israel, who is in Samaria; behold he is in the vineyard of Naboth, whither he is gone down to take possession of it.
19 Le ty hoe ty ho saontsie’o ama’e: Hoe ty nafè’ Iehovà: Nañoho-doza hao irehe mbore mitavañe? Le isaontsio ty hoe: Hoe ty tsara’ Iehovà: Amy toetse nilelafan’ amboa ty lio’ i Nabotey ty hitselàn’ amboa o lio’oo—o azoo.
And thou shalt speak unto him, saying, Thus hath said the Lord, Hast thou murdered, and also taken possession? And thou shalt speak unto him, saying, Thus hath said the Lord, In the place where the dogs licked the blood of Naboth shall the dogs lick thy blood, yes, thine also.
20 Le hoe t’i Akabe amy Elià: Fa nifanojo amako ry rafelahiko? Le hoe re, Mipay azo iraho, amy t’ie nanolo-batañe ami’ty hatsivokarañe am-pivazohoa’ Iehovà.
And Achab said to Elijah, Hast thou found me, O my enemy? And he answered, I have found thee: because thou hast sold thyself to do what is evil in the eyes of the Lord.
21 Inao! hametsahako hankàñe naho havìko añe ty firaoraoa’o, le fonga haitoko amy Akabe ze mañary rano an-kijoly, ty migabeñe ao naho ty midada e Israele añe.
Behold, I will bring evil upon thee, and I will sweep out after thee, and will cut off from Achab every male, and the guarded and fortified in Israel,
22 Le hampanahafeko amy anjomba’ Iarovame ana’ i Nabatey ty anjomba’o naho manahake ty anjomba’ i Baasà ana’ i Akià, ty amy kai-jaka nikaihe’o amakoy, vaho nampanaña’o hakeo t’Israele.
And I will make thy house like the house of Jerobo'am the son of Nebat, and like the house of Ba'sha the son of Achiyah, for the provocation wherewith thou hast provoked [me] to anger, and induced Israel to sin.
23 Le nitsara am’ Iizebele ka t’Iehovà, nanao ty hoe: Ho hane’ o amboao an-talaha’ Iezreele ao t’Iizebele.
And also concerning Izebel hath the Lord spoken, saying, The dogs shall eat Izebel in the valley of Yizre'el.
24 Ho hanen’ amboa ty miantantiritse a i Akabe an-drova ao vaho ho hane’ o voron-dikerañeo ty mibabòke an-kivok’ ao.
Him that dieth of Achab in the city shall the dogs eat; and him that dieth in the field shall the fowls of the heavens eat.
25 Tsy ni-añohatse t’i Akabe ami’ ty fanolora’e vatañe hanoa’e hatsivokarañe am-pivazohoa’ Iehovà, ie nihehere’ i vali’e Iizebeley.
But indeed there was none like unto Achab, who sold himself to do what is evil in the eyes of the Lord, to which Izebel his wife incited him.
26 Norihe’e an-kaloloañe o hazomangao, manahake ty sata’ o nte-Amoreo, o rinoa’ Iehovà aolo’ o ana’ Israeleoo.
And he acted very abominably in following the idols, in all things just as had done the Emorites, whom the Lord had driven out from before the children of Israel.
27 Aa ie nahajanjiñe i tsara zay t’i Akabe le rinia’e o saro’eo naho nisikin-gony an-tsandri’e naho nililitse vaho nandre antsaron-gony le nijokojoko.
And it came to pass, when Achab heard these words, that he rent his clothes, and put sackcloth upon his flesh, and fasted, and slept in the sackcloth, and walked about barefooted.
28 Aa niheo amy Elià nte-Tisbý ty tsara’ Iehovà, ami’ty hoe:
And the word of the Lord came to Elijah the Tishbite, saying,
29 Isa’o hao te mirèke añatrefako t’i Akabe? Aa kanao niambane aoloko re le tsy hafetsako ama’e añ’andro’e i hankàñey, fa añ’andro’ o ana’eo ty hañendesako fehohatse amy akiba’ey.
Hast thou seen how Achab hath humbled himself before me? therefore, because he hath humbled himself before me, will I not bring the evil in his days: in the days of his son will I bring the evil upon his house.
