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 cometh to pass, after these things, a vineyard hath 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 speaketh unto Naboth, saying, 'Give to me thy vineyard, and it is to me for a garden of green herbs, for it [is] near by my house, and I give to thee in its stead a better vineyard than it; if good in thine eyes, I give to thee silver — its price.'
3 Aa hoe t’i Nabote amy Akabe: Fa rinara’ Iehovà iraho tsy hatoloko azo i lovan-droaekoy.
And Naboth saith unto Ahab, 'Far be it from me, by Jehovah, my giving the inheritance of my fathers to 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 Ahab cometh in unto his house, sulky and wroth, because of the word that Naboth the Jezreelite hath spoken unto him when he saith, 'I do not give to thee the inheritance of my fathers,' and he lieth down on his bed, and turneth round his face, and hath 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 Jezebel his wife cometh in unto him, and speaketh unto him, 'What [is] this? — thy spirit sulky, and thou art 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 saith unto her, 'Because I speak unto Naboth the Jezreelite, and say to him, Give to me thy vineyard for money, or if thou desire, I give to thee a vineyard in its stead; and he saith, I do not give to 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.
And Jezebel his wife saith unto him, 'Thou now dost execute rule over Israel! rise, eat bread, and let thy heart be glad, — I do give to thee 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.
And she writeth letters in the name of Ahab, and sealeth with his seal, and sendeth the letters unto the elders, and unto the freemen, 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 writeth 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 over-against him, and they testify of him, saying, Thou hast blessed God and Melech; and they have brought him out, and stoned him, and he dieth.'
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 freemen who are dwelling in his city, do as Jezebel hath sent unto them, as written in the letters that she sent unto 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 over-against him, and the men of worthlessness testify of him, even Naboth, before the people, saying, 'Naboth blessed God and Melech;' and they take him out to the outside of the city, and stone him with stones, and he dieth;
14 Nahitri’ iereo amy Iizebele amy zao ty hoe: Fa nametsaham-bato t’i Nabote vaho nihomake.
and they send unto 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 cometh to pass, at Jezebel's hearing that Naboth hath been stoned, and is dead, that Jezebel saith unto Ahab, 'Rise, possess the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite, that he refused to give to 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 cometh to pass, at Ahab's hearing that Naboth is dead, that Ahab riseth to go down unto 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 Jehovah is unto 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, — lo, in the vineyard of Naboth, whither he hath 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 thou hast spoken unto him, saying, Thus said Jehovah, Hast thou murdered, and also possessed? and thou hast spoken unto him, saying, Thus said Jehovah, In the place where the dogs licked the blood of Naboth, do the dogs lick thy blood, even thine.'
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 saith unto Elijah, 'Hast thou found me, O mine enemy?' and he saith, 'I have found — because of thy selling thyself to do the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah;
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.
lo, I am bringing in unto thee evil, and have taken away thy posterity, and cut off to 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 thy house like the house of Jeroboam son of Nebat, and like the house of Baasha son of Ahijah, for the provocation with which thou hast provoked [Me], and dost 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 also of Jezebel hath Jehovah spoken, saying, The dogs do 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.
him who dieth of Ahab in a city do the dogs eat, and him who dieth in a field do fowl 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.
surely there hath none been like Ahab, who sold himself to do the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah, whom Jezebel his wife hath moved,
26 Norihe’e an-kaloloañe o hazomangao, manahake ty sata’ o nte-Amoreo, o rinoa’ Iehovà aolo’ o ana’ Israeleoo.
and he doth very abominably to go after the idols, according to all that the Amorite did whom Jehovah 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 cometh to pass, at Ahab's hearing these words, that he rendeth his garments, and putteth sackcloth on his flesh, and fasteth, and lieth in sackcloth, and goeth gently.
28 Aa niheo amy Elià nte-Tisbý ty tsara’ Iehovà, ami’ty hoe:
And the word of Jehovah is unto 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 that Ahab hath been humbled before Me? because that he hath been humbled before Me, I bring not in the evil in his days; in the days of his son I bring in the evil on his house.'
