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 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.
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 [he had] with him, and persuaded 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.
And Ahab king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat king of Judah, Wilt thou go with me to Ramoth-gilead? And he answered him, I [am] as thou [art], and my people as thy people; and [we 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, at the word of the LORD to-day.
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.
Therefore the king of Israel collected of prophets four hundred men, and said to them, Shall we go to Ramoth-gilead to battle, or shall I forbear? And they said, Go up; for God will deliver [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 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.
And 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 prophesieth good to me, but always evil: the same [is] Micaiah the son of Imla. 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.
And the king of Israel called for one [of his] officers, and said, Bring quickly Micaiah the son of Imla.
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 king of Judah sat each of them on his throne, clothed in [their] robes, and they sat in a void 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 had made him horns of iron, and said, Thus saith the LORD, With these thou shalt push Syria until they shall be consumed.
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 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.
And the messenger that went to call Micaiah spoke to him, saying, Behold, the words of the prophets [declare] good to the king with one consent; let thy word therefore, I pray thee, be like one of theirs, and speak thou good.
13 Le hoe t’i Mikaià: Kanao veloñe t’Iehovà, ze tsaraen’ Añahareko, izay ty ho volañeko.
And Micaiah said, [As] the LORD liveth, even what my God saith, that will I 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.
And when he had come to the king, the king said to him, Micaiah, shall we go to Ramoth-gilead to battle, or shall I forbear? And he said, Go ye up, and prosper, and 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?
And the king said to him, How many times shall I adjure thee that thou say nothing but the truth to me 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.
Then he said, I saw all Israel scattered upon the mountains, as sheep that have no shepherd: and the LORD said, These have no master; let them return [therefore] 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 would not prophesy good to 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.
Again he said, Therefore hear the word of the LORD; I saw the LORD 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 the LORD 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?
Then there came out a spirit, and stood before the LORD, and said, I will entice him. And the LORD said to him, With what?
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 out, and be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets. And [the LORD] said, Thou shalt entice [him], and thou shalt also prevail: go out and do [even] 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, behold, the LORD hath put a lying spirit in the mouth of these thy prophets, and the LORD hath spoken evil against 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 came near, and smote Micaiah upon the cheek, and said, Which way went the spirit of the LORD 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 Micaiah said, Behold, thou shalt see on that day when thou shalt go into an inner 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;
Then the king of Israel said, Take ye 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 saith 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 Micaiah said, If thou shalt certainly return in peace, [then] hath not the LORD spoken by me. And he said, Hearken, all ye people.
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.
And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, I will disguise myself, and will go to the battle; but put thou on thy robes. So the king of Israel disguised himself; and they went to 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 Syria had commanded the captains of the chariots that [were] with him, saying, Fight ye not with small or great, save 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.
And it came to pass, when the captains of the chariots saw Jehoshaphat, that they said, It [is] the king of Israel. Therefore they compassed about him to fight: 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.
For it came to pass, that when the captains of the chariots perceived that it was not the king of Israel, they turned back again 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 [certain] man drew a bow at a venture, and smote the king of Israel between the joints of the harness: therefore he said to his chariot-man, Turn thy hand, that thou mayest carry me out of the host; 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: yet the king of Israel supported [himself] in [his] chariot against the Syrians until the evening: and about the time of the sun setting he died.
