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 comes to pass after these things, a vineyard has been to Naboth the Jezreelite, that [is] in Jezreel, near the palace of Ahab 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 Ahab speaks to Naboth, saying, “Give your vineyard to me, and it is for a garden of green herbs for me, for it [is] near by my house, and I give to you a better vineyard than it in its stead; if [this is] good in your eyes, I give to you its price [in] silver.”
3 Aa hoe t’i Nabote amy Akabe: Fa rinara’ Iehovà iraho tsy hatoloko azo i lovan-droaekoy.
And Naboth says to Ahab, “Far be it from me, by YHWH, my giving the inheritance of my fathers to you”;
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 Ahab comes to his house, sulky and angry, because of the word that Naboth the Jezreelite has spoken to him when he says, “I do not give the inheritance of my fathers to you,” and he lies down on his bed, and turns around his face, and has not eaten bread.
5 Nimb’ama’e t’Iizebele tañanjomba’e, nanao ama’e ty hoe: Ino ty mahalonjetse o arofo’oo, ihe tsy mahafikama?
And his wife Jezebel comes to him, and speaks to him, “Why [is] this [that] your spirit [is] sulky, and you are not eating bread?”
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 says to her, “Because I speak to Naboth the Jezreelite, and say to him, Give your vineyard to me for money, or if you desire, I give a vineyard to you in its stead; and he says, I do not give my vineyard to you.”
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.
And his wife Jezebel says to him, “You now execute rule over Israel! Rise, eat bread, and let your heart be glad—I give the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite to you.”
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.
And she writes letters in the name of Ahab, and seals with his seal, and sends the letters to the elderly and to the nobles who are in his city, those dwelling with Naboth,
9 Hoe ty sinoki’e amy taratasy rey: Koiho ty lilitse le onjono ho aolo’ ondatio t’i Nabote;
and she writes 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 cause two men—sons of worthlessness—to sit opposite him, and they testify of him, saying, You have blessed [[or cursed]] God and [the] king; and they have brought him out, and stoned him, and he dies.”
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 elderly and the nobles who are dwelling in his city, do as Jezebel has sent to them, as written in the letters that she sent to them,
12 Nikoike lilitse iereo naho napoke aolo’ ondatio t’i Nabote.
they have 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 two men—sons of worthlessness—come in, and sit opposite him, and the men of worthlessness testify of him, even Naboth, before the people, saying, “Naboth blessed [[or cursed]] God and [the] king”; and they take him out to the outside of the city, and stone him with stones, and he dies;
14 Nahitri’ iereo amy Iizebele amy zao ty hoe: Fa nametsaham-bato t’i Nabote vaho nihomake.
and they send to Jezebel, saying, “Naboth was 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 comes to pass, at Jezebel’s hearing that Naboth has been stoned, and is dead, that Jezebel says to Ahab, “Rise, possess the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite, that he refused to give to you 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 comes to pass, at Ahab’s hearing that Naboth is dead, that Ahab rises to go down to the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite, to possess it.
17 Le niheo amy Elià nte-Tisbè ty tsara’ Iehovà, nanao ty hoe:
And the word of YHWH is 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.
“Rise, go down to meet Ahab king of Israel, who [is] in Samaria—behold, in the vineyard of Naboth, to where he has gone down to possess 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 you have spoken to him, saying, Thus said YHWH: Have you murdered, and also possessed? And you have spoken to him, saying, Thus said YHWH: In the place where the dogs licked the blood of Naboth, the dogs lick your blood, even yours.”
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 Ahab says to Elijah, “Have you found me, O my enemy?” And he says, “I have found—because of your selling yourself to do evil in the eyes of YHWH;
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 am bringing calamity on you, and have taken away your posterity, and cut off from Ahab those sitting on the wall, and restrained, and left, 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 given up your house like the house of Jeroboam son of Nebat, and like the house of Baasha son of Ahijah, for the provocation with which you have provoked [Me], and cause 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 YHWH has also spoken of Jezebel, saying, The dogs eat Jezebel in the bulwark of Jezreel;
24 Ho hanen’ amboa ty miantantiritse a i Akabe an-drova ao vaho ho hane’ o voron-dikerañeo ty mibabòke an-kivok’ ao.
the dogs eat him who dies of Ahab in a city, and [the] bird of the heavens eats him who dies in a field;
25 Tsy ni-añohatse t’i Akabe ami’ ty fanolora’e vatañe hanoa’e hatsivokarañe am-pivazohoa’ Iehovà, ie nihehere’ i vali’e Iizebeley.
surely there has been none like Ahab, who sold himself to do evil in the eyes of YHWH, whom his wife Jezebel has moved,
26 Norihe’e an-kaloloañe o hazomangao, manahake ty sata’ o nte-Amoreo, o rinoa’ Iehovà aolo’ o ana’ Israeleoo.
and he does very abominably to go after the idols, according to all that the Amorite did whom YHWH dispossessed from the presence of the sons 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 comes to pass, at Ahab’s hearing these words, that he tears his garments, and puts sackcloth on his flesh, and fasts, and lies in sackcloth, and goes gently.
28 Aa niheo amy Elià nte-Tisbý ty tsara’ Iehovà, ami’ty hoe:
And the word of YHWH is 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.
“Have you seen that Ahab has been humbled before Me? Because that he has been humbled before Me, I do not bring in the calamity in his days; I bring in the calamity on his house in the days of his son.”
