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.
After these things, Naboth the Jezreelite had a vineyard which was in Jezreel, next to 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.
Ahab spoke to Naboth, saying, “Give me your vineyard, that I may have it for a garden of herbs, because it is near my house; and I will give you for it a better vineyard than it. Or, if it seems good to you, I will give you its worth in money.”
3 Aa hoe t’i Nabote amy Akabe: Fa rinara’ Iehovà iraho tsy hatoloko azo i lovan-droaekoy.
Naboth said to Ahab, “May the LORD forbid me, that I should give 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.
Ahab came into his house sullen and angry because of the word which Naboth the Jezreelite had spoken to him, for he had said, “I will not give you the inheritance of my fathers.” He laid himself down on his bed, and turned away his face, and would eat no bread.
5 Nimb’ama’e t’Iizebele tañanjomba’e, nanao ama’e ty hoe: Ino ty mahalonjetse o arofo’oo, ihe tsy mahafikama?
But Jezebel his wife came to him, and said to him, “Why is your spirit so sad that you eat no 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.
He said to her, “Because I spoke to Naboth the Jezreelite, and said to him, ‘Give me your vineyard for money; or else, if it pleases you, I will give you another vineyard for it.’ He answered, ‘I will not give you 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.
Jezebel his wife said to him, “Do you now govern the kingdom of Israel? Arise, and eat bread, and let your heart be merry. I will give you the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite.”
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 Ahab’s name and sealed them with his seal, and sent the letters to the elders and to the nobles who were in his city, who lived with Naboth.
9 Hoe ty sinoki’e amy taratasy rey: Koiho ty lilitse le onjono ho aolo’ ondatio t’i Nabote;
She wrote in the letters, saying, “Proclaim a fast, and set Naboth on high among 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.
Set two men, wicked fellows, before him, and let them testify against him, saying, ‘You cursed God and the king!’ Then carry him out, and stone him to death.”
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.
The men of his city, even the elders and the nobles who lived in his city, did as Jezebel had instructed them in the letters which she had written and sent to them.
12 Nikoike lilitse iereo naho napoke aolo’ ondatio t’i Nabote.
They proclaimed a fast, and set Naboth on high among 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.
The two men, the wicked fellows, came in and sat before him. The wicked fellows testified against him, even against Naboth, in the presence of the people, saying, “Naboth cursed God and the king!” Then they carried him out of the city and stoned him to death with stones.
14 Nahitri’ iereo amy Iizebele amy zao ty hoe: Fa nametsaham-bato t’i Nabote vaho nihomake.
Then they sent to Jezebel, saying, “Naboth has 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.
When Jezebel heard that Naboth had been stoned and was dead, Jezebel said to Ahab, “Arise, take possession of the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite, which he refused to give 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.
When Ahab heard that Naboth was dead, Ahab rose up to go down to the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite, to take possession of it.
17 Le niheo amy Elià nte-Tisbè ty tsara’ Iehovà, nanao ty hoe:
The LORD’s word 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 Ahab king of Israel, who dwells in Samaria. Behold, he is in the vineyard of Naboth, where he has 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.
You shall speak to him, saying, ‘The LORD says, “Have you killed and also taken possession?”’ You shall speak to him, saying, ‘The LORD says, “In the place where dogs licked the blood of Naboth, dogs will 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.
Ahab said to Elijah, “Have you found me, my enemy?” He answered, “I have found you, because you have sold yourself to do that which is evil in the LORD’s sight.
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 on you, and will utterly sweep you away and will cut off from Ahab everyone who urinates against a wall, and him who is shut up and him who is left at large 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.
I will make your house like the house of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, and like the house of Baasha the son of Ahijah, for the provocation with which you have provoked me to anger, and have made Israel to sin.”
23 Le nitsara am’ Iizebele ka t’Iehovà, nanao ty hoe: Ho hane’ o amboao an-talaha’ Iezreele ao t’Iizebele.
The LORD also spoke of Jezebel, saying, “The dogs will eat Jezebel by the rampart 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 will eat he who dies of Ahab in the city; and the birds of the sky will eat he who dies in the 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.
But there was no one like Ahab, who sold himself to do that which was evil in the LORD’s sight, whom Jezebel his wife stirred up.
26 Norihe’e an-kaloloañe o hazomangao, manahake ty sata’ o nte-Amoreo, o rinoa’ Iehovà aolo’ o ana’ Israeleoo.
He did very abominably in following idols, according to all that the Amorites did, whom the LORD cast out 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.
When Ahab heard those words, he tore his clothes, put sackcloth on his body, fasted, lay in sackcloth, and went about despondently.
28 Aa niheo amy Elià nte-Tisbý ty tsara’ Iehovà, ami’ty hoe:
The LORD’s word 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.
“See how Ahab humbles himself before me? Because he humbles himself before me, I will not bring the evil in his days; but I will bring the evil on his house in his son’s day.”
