2 Tantara 18
1 Nanañ’asy naho vara tsi-efa t’Iehosafate; f’ie nifampilongo amy Akabe am-panambaliañe.
And Jehoshaphat had riches and honour in abundance; and he allied himself with Ahab by marriage.
2 Ie taoñe maromaro añe, le nizotso mb’amy Akabe e Somerone mb’eo. Nandenta añondry naho añombe ho aze naho ho amo mpiama’eo t’i Akabe vaho sinigì’e hindre-lia ama’e mb’e Ramote-gilade mb’eo.
And after [certain] years he went down to Ahab, to Samaria. And Ahab killed sheep and oxen for him in abundance, and for the people that were with him, and urged him to go up against Ramoth-Gilead.
3 Fa hoe t’i Akabe mpanjaka’ Israele am’ Iehosafate mpanjaka’ Iehoda: Hindre-lia amako hao irehe mb’e Ramote-Gilade mb’eo? Le hoe ty natoi’e: Manahak’ azo iraho, naho ondatikoo hoe ondati’oo, vaho ho mpiama’o añ’aly zahay.
And Ahab king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat king of Judah, Wilt thou go with me to Ramoth-Gilead? And he said to him, I am as thou, and my people as thy people; and [I will be] with thee in the war.
4 Fe hoe t’Iehosafate amy mpanjaka’ Israeley: Ehe, añontaneo heike ty tsara’ Iehovà.
And Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel, Inquire, I pray thee, this day of the word of Jehovah.
5 Natonto’ i Akabe amy zao o mpitokio, ondaty efa-jato, le nanoa’e ty hoe; Hionjomb’e Ramote-gilade hihotakotake hao tika, he hifonen-draho? Le hoe iereo: Mionjona, amy t’ie hatolon’ Añahare am-pità’ i mpanjakay.
And the king of Israel assembled the prophets, four hundred men, and said to them, Shall we go against Ramoth-Gilead to battle, or shall I forbear? And they said, Go up, and God will give it into the king's hand.
6 Fe hoe t’Iehosafate: Tsy amam-pitoki’ Iehovà hao ty atoy, hañontanean-tika?
But Jehoshaphat said, Is there not here a prophet of Jehovah besides, that we might inquire of him?
7 Le hoe ty mpanjaka’ Israele am’ Iehosafate: Mbe eo t’indaty mete hampañontanean-tika am’ Iehovà, f’ie hejeko; fa le lia’e tsy itokia’e ty hasoa, toe nainai’e raty; i Mikaià ana’ Imlà ‘nio. Le hoe t’Iehosafate; Ehe tsy hanao izay ty mpanjaka.
And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, There is yet one man by whom we may inquire of Jehovah; but I hate him, for he prophesies no good concerning me, but always evil: [it is] Micah the son of Imlah. And Jehoshaphat said, Let not the king say so.
8 Aa le tinoka’ i mpanjaka’ Israeley ty mpifehe ami’ty hoe: Hitrifo masika t’i Mikaià ana’ Imlà.
Then the king of Israel called a chamberlain, and said, Fetch quickly Micah the son of Imlah.
9 Songa niambesatse amy fiambesa’ey ty mpanjaka’ Israele naho Iehosafate, nisikiñe saro-mireparepa, le niambesatse an-toem-pifofohañe an-dalambei’ i Somerone eo vaho sindre nitoky añatrefa’ iereo eo o mpitokio.
And the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah, having put on their robes, sat each on his throne; and they sat in an open place at the entrance of the gate of Samaria; and all the prophets prophesied before them.
10 Le niranjie’ i Tsidkià ana’ i Kenaanà ty tsifam-biñe vaho nanao ty hoe: Hoe t’Iehovà: Iretoañe ty hitrofaha’o o nte-Arameo ampara t’ie mongotse.
And Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah made for himself horns of iron, and he said, Thus saith Jehovah: With these shalt thou push the Syrians, until thou have exterminated them.
11 Le sambe nitoky o mpitokio nanao ty hoe: Mionjona mb’e Ramote-Gilade, le mihenefa; fa hatolo’ Iehovà am-pità’ i mpanjakay.
And all the prophets prophesied so, saying, Go up to Ramoth-Gilead, and prosper; for Jehovah will give it into the king's hand.
12 Nanao ty hoe amy Mikaià i mpihitrike nitok’ azey: Inao! songa mitoky hasoa amy mpanjakay o mpitokio, aa ehe te hindray ami’ty raik’ am’iereo ty saontsi’o vaho mitaroña hasoa.
And the messenger that went to call Micah spoke to him saying, Behold, the words of the prophets [declare] good to the king with one assent: let thy word therefore, I pray thee, be like one of theirs, and declare good.
13 Le hoe t’i Mikaià: Kanao veloñe t’Iehovà, ze tsaraen’ Añahareko, izay ty ho volañeko.
And Micah said, As Jehovah liveth, even what my God shall say, that will I declare.
14 Ie pok’ amy mpanjakay, le hoe i mpanjakay ama’e: O Mikaià, hañavelo mb’e Ramote-gilade mb’eo hao zahay hialy he hifoneñako? le hoe re; Mionjona le mandreketa, fa hatolotse am-pità’o.
And he came to the king. And the king said to him, Micah, shall we go against Ramoth-Gilead to battle, or shall I forbear? And he said, Go ye up, and prosper; and they will be given into your hands.
15 Le hoe i mpanjakay tama’e: Impire ty nandiliako azo ty tsy hivolañe ndra inoñ’ inoñe naho tsy ty hahiti’e amy tahina’ Iehovày?
And the king said to him, How many times shall I adjure thee that thou tell me nothing but truth in the name of Jehovah?
16 Le hoe re: Nitreako te niparaitak’ an-kaboañe ey iaby t’Israele hoe añondry tsy amam-piarake; le hoe t’Iehovà; Tsy amam-piarake iretoañe, apoho songa himpoly mb’an-kiboho’e an-kanintsiñe ondatio.
And he said, I saw all Israel scattered upon the mountains, as sheep that have no shepherd. And Jehovah said, These have no master: let them return every man to his house in peace.
17 Le hoe ty mpanjaka’ Israele am’ Iehosafate; Tsy vinolako hao t’ie tsy hitoky hasoa amako, fa raty?
And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, Did I not tell thee that he prophesies no good concerning me, but evil?
18 le natovo’e ty hoe, Janjiño arè ty tsara’ Iehovà: Nitreako niambesatse am-piambesa’ey t’Iehovà, le nijohañe ampità’e havana naho havia’e eo iaby i valobohòn-dikerañey.
And he said, Hear ye therefore the word of Jehovah: I saw Jehovah sitting upon his throne, and all the host of heaven standing on his right hand and on his left;
19 Le hoe t’Iehovà: Ia ty hanigike i Akabe mpanjaka’ Israele, hampionjone’e mb’ eo hikorovoke e Ramote-gilade añe? Aa le inao ty raike, le inay ka ty ila’e.
and Jehovah said, Who shall entice Ahab king of Israel that he may go up and fall at Ramoth-Gilead? And one spoke saying after this manner, and another saying after that manner.
20 Loneake amy zao ty fañahy nijohañe añatrefa’ Iehovà, nanao ty hoe: Izaho ty hanjizy aze. Le hoe t’Iehovà ama’e: Akore?
And there came forth a spirit, and stood before Jehovah and said, I will entice him. And Jehovah said unto him, Wherewith?
21 Le hoe re, Hionjomb’eo iraho ho fañahin-dremborake am-palie’ o mpitoki’e iabio. Le hoe re: Toe ho sigihe’o vaho hañeneke; akia, ano.
And he said, I will go forth, and will be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets. And he said, Thou shalt entice [him], and also succeed: go forth, and do so.
22 Aa le ingo te nampipoha’ Iehovà am-palie’ o mpitoki’o reo ty fañahy mandañitse; fa toe hankàñe ty nitsara’ Iehovà azo.
And now, behold, Jehovah has put a lying spirit in the mouth of these thy prophets; and Jehovah has spoken evil concerning thee.
23 Nañarine aze t’i Tsidkià ana’ i Kenaanà, le tinampifi’e ty fiambina’ i Mikaià vaho nanao ty hoe: Nimb’ aia ty fañahi’ Iehovà boak’ amako hivolañe ama’o?
Then Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah went near, and smote Micah upon the cheek, and said, Which way now went the Spirit of Jehovah from me to speak to thee?
24 Le hoe t’i Mikaià: Inao! ho isa’o amy andro himoaha’o an-traño añate’e ao hietaha’oy.
And Micah said, Behold, thou shalt see on that day when thou shalt go from chamber to chamber to hide thyself.
25 Le hoe ty mpanjaka’ Israele, Endeso t’i Mikaià, le ampolio amy Amone mpifehe’ i rovay naho am’ Ioase anam-panjaka ao;
And the king of Israel said, Take ye Micah, and carry him back to Amon the governor of the city, and to Joash the king's son;
26 le ano ty hoe: Hoe i mpanjakay: Apoho an-drohy ao tia; vaho fahano mofon-kasotriañe naho ranom-pijaleañe, ampara’ te mimpoly an-kanintsin-draho.
and ye shall say, Thus says the king: Put this [man] in the prison, and feed him with bread of affliction and with water of affliction, until I return in peace.
27 Le hoe t’i Mikaià, Aa kanao himpoly an-kanintsin-drehe, tsy nitsara añamako t’Iehovà. Le hoe re: Janjiño izay ry ondatio, inahareo iaby.
And Micah said, If thou return at all in peace, Jehovah has not spoken by me. And he said, Hearken, O peoples, all of you!
28 Aa le nionjoñe mb’e Ramote-gilade mb’eo i mpanjaka’ Israeley naho Iehosafate mpanjaka’ Iehoda.
And the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah went up to Ramoth-Gilead.
29 Le hoe ty mpanjaka’ Israele am’ Iehosafate; Hihonohono iraho te hizilik’ an-kotakotak’ ao; f’ihe ka, aombeo o saro’o mireparepao. Aa le nañonohono-vatañe i mpanjaka’ Israeley; vaho nimoak’ an-kotakotak’ ao iereo.
And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, I will disguise myself, and will enter into the battle; but put thou on thy robes. And the king of Israel disguised himself; and they went into the battle.
30 Fe hoe ty nafanto’ i mpanjaka’ i Aramey amo mpifehen-tsarete’eo; Ko ialia’o ty kedeke ndra ty bey naho tsy i mpanjaka’ Israeley avao.
And the king of Syria commanded the captains of his chariots saying, Fight neither with small nor great, but with the king of Israel only.
31 Ie amy zao naho niisa’ o mpifehen-tsareteo t’Iehosafate le hoe iereo: Ingo i mpanjaka’ Israeley. Aa le nitoliha’ iareo hialy; fe nikoike t’Iehosafate le nañolotse aze t’Iehovà vaho niroroten’ Añahare iereo hisitake.
And it came to pass when the captains of the chariots saw Jehoshaphat, that they said, That is the king of Israel; and they surrounded him to fight; and Jehoshaphat cried out, and Jehovah helped him; and God diverted them from him.
32 Aa ie nirendre’ o mpifehe sareteo t’ie tsy i mpanjaka’ Israeley le nivalike tsy nihoridaña’e.
And it came to pass that when the captains of the chariots perceived that it was not the king of Israel, they turned back from pursuing him.
33 Fe teo t’indaty nampivoho-pale tsinahi’e nahatrofake i mpanjaka’ Israeley añivo’ o fikala’e ambane naho i aron’ araña’ey, le hoe re amy mpinday saretey; Ampivioño o fità’oo, le ampiavoto amy valobohòkey iraho fa loho-fere.
And a man drew a bow at a venture, and smote the king of Israel between the fastenings and the corslet. And he said to the charioteer, Turn thy hand and drive me out of the camp; for I am wounded.
34 Niindra avao i hotakotakey amy andro zay; ie amy zao nahafijohañe an-tsarete ao niatreke o nte-Arameo i mpanjaka’ Israeley am-para’ te hariva; le nihomake te nitsofotse i àndroy.
And the battle increased that day; and the king of Israel stayed himself up in his chariot against the Syrians until the even; and about the time of the going down of the sun he died.
