2 Tantara 18
1 Nanañ’asy naho vara tsi-efa t’Iehosafate; f’ie nifampilongo amy Akabe am-panambaliañe.
Now Jehoshaphat had riches and honor in abundance; and he joined affinity with Ahab.
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.
After certain years he went down to Ahab to Samaria. Ahab killed sheep and cattle for him in abundance, and for the people who were with him, and moved him to go up with him to 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.
Ahab king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat king of Judah, "Will you go with me to Ramoth Gilead?" He answered him, "I am as you are, and my people as your people. We will be with you in the war."
4 Fe hoe t’Iehosafate amy mpanjaka’ Israeley: Ehe, añontaneo heike ty tsara’ Iehovà.
Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel, "Please inquire first for the word of the LORD."
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.
Then the king of Israel gathered the prophets together, four hundred men, and said to them, "Shall we go to Ramoth Gilead to battle, or shall I refrain?" They said, "Go up; for God will deliver it into the hand of the king."
6 Fe hoe t’Iehosafate: Tsy amam-pitoki’ Iehovà hao ty atoy, hañontanean-tika?
But Jehoshaphat said, "Isn't there here a prophet of the LORD besides, that we may 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.
The king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, "There is yet one man by whom we may inquire of the LORD; but I hate him, for he never prophesies good concerning me, but always evil. He is Micaiah the son of Imla." Jehoshaphat said, "Do not let 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 an officer, and said, "Get Micaiah the son of Imla quickly."
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.
Now the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah sat each on his throne, arrayed in their robes, and they were sitting in an open place at the entrance of the gate of Samaria; and all the prophets were prophesying 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.
Zedekiah the son of Kenaanah made him horns of iron, and said, "Thus says the LORD, 'With these you shall push the Arameans, until they are consumed.'"
11 Le sambe nitoky o mpitokio nanao ty hoe: Mionjona mb’e Ramote-Gilade, le mihenefa; fa hatolo’ Iehovà am-pità’ i mpanjakay.
All the prophets prophesied so, saying, "Go up to Ramoth Gilead, and prosper; for the LORD will deliver it into the hand of the king."
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.
The messenger who went to call Micaiah spoke to him, saying, "Look, the words of the prophets declare good to the king with one mouth. Let your word therefore, please be like one of theirs, and speak good."
13 Le hoe t’i Mikaià: Kanao veloñe t’Iehovà, ze tsaraen’ Añahareko, izay ty ho volañeko.
Micaiah said, "As the LORD lives, whatever my God says to me, that I will speak."
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.
When he had come to the king, the king said to him, "Micaiah, shall we go to Ramoth Gilead to battle, or shall I refrain?" He said, "Go up, and prosper. They shall be delivered into your hand."
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?
The king said to him, "How many times shall I adjure you that you speak to me nothing but the truth in the name of the LORD?"
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.
He said, "I saw all Israel scattered on the mountains, as sheep that have no shepherd. The LORD 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?
The king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, "Did I not tell you that he would not prophesy 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.
Micaiah said, "Therefore hear the word of the LORD: I saw the LORD sitting on his throne, and all the army 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.
The LORD said, 'Who shall entice Ahab king of Israel, that he may go up and fall at Ramoth Gilead?' One spoke saying in this way, and another saying in that way.
20 Loneake amy zao ty fañahy nijohañe añatrefa’ Iehovà, nanao ty hoe: Izaho ty hanjizy aze. Le hoe t’Iehovà ama’e: Akore?
A spirit came out, stood before the LORD, and said, 'I will entice him.' "The LORD said to him, 'How?'
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.
"He said, 'I will go forth, and will be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets.' "He said, 'You will entice him, and will prevail also. 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.
"Now therefore, look, the LORD has put a lying spirit in the mouth of these your prophets; and the LORD has pronounced disaster concerning you."
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 Kenaanah came near, and struck Micaiah on the cheek, and said, "Which way did the Ruach of the LORD go from me to speak to you?"
24 Le hoe t’i Mikaià: Inao! ho isa’o amy andro himoaha’o an-traño añate’e ao hietaha’oy.
Micaiah said, "Look, you shall see on that day, when you shall go into an inner room to hide yourself."
25 Le hoe ty mpanjaka’ Israele, Endeso t’i Mikaià, le ampolio amy Amone mpifehe’ i rovay naho am’ Ioase anam-panjaka ao;
The king of Israel said, "Take Micaiah, 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 say, 'Thus says the king, "Put this fellow 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.
Micaiah said, "If you return at all in peace, the LORD has not spoken by me." He said, "Listen, you peoples, all of you."
28 Aa le nionjoñe mb’e Ramote-gilade mb’eo i mpanjaka’ Israeley naho Iehosafate mpanjaka’ Iehoda.
So 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.
The king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, "I will disguise myself, and go into the battle; but you put on your robes." So 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.
Now the king of Aram had commanded the captains of his chariots, saying, "Fight neither with small nor great, except only with the king of Israel."
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.
It happened, when the captains of the chariots saw Jehoshaphat, that they said, "It is the king of Israel." Therefore they turned around to fight against him. But Jehoshaphat cried out, and the LORD helped him; and God moved them to depart from him.
32 Aa ie nirendre’ o mpifehe sareteo t’ie tsy i mpanjaka’ Israeley le nivalike tsy nihoridaña’e.
It happened, when the captains of the chariots saw that it was not the king of Israel, that 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.
A certain man drew his bow at random, and struck the king of Israel between the joints of the armor. Therefore he said to the driver of the chariot, "Turn your hand, and carry me out of the army; for I am severely 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.
The battle increased that day. However the king of Israel propped himself up in his chariot against the Arameans until the evening; and about the time of the going down of the sun, he died.
