2 Mpanjaka 3
1 Niorotse nifehe Israele e Somerone ao t’Iehorame ana’ i Akabe amy taom-paha-folo-valo’ambi’ Iehosafate, mpanjaka’ Iehoday, vaho nifeleke folo-taoñe ro’ amby,
And Joram the son of Achab reigned over Israel in Samaria in the eighteenth year of Josaphat king of Juda. And he reigned twelve years.
2 nanao haratiañe am-pivazohoa’ Iehovà re fa tsy nanahak’ an-drae’e, tsy nañirinkiriñe an-drene’e, amy te songa sininto’e o sarem-Baale niranjien-drae’eo.
And he did evil before the Lord, but not like his father and his mother: for he took away the statues of Baal, which his father had made.
3 Fe mbe nivontitire’e o tahi’ Iarovame ana’ i Nebateo, ie nampanan-kakeo Israele fa tsy nadò’e.
Nevertheless he stuck to the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nabat, who made Israel to sin, nor did he depart from them.
4 Mpiarak’ añondry t’i Mesà mpanjaka’ i Moabe, vaho natolo’e amy mpanjaka’ Israeley ty vik’ añondry rai-hetse naho ty volon’ añondrilahy rai-hetse.
Now Mesa, king of Moab, nourished many sheep, and he paid to the king of Israel a hundred thousand lambs, and a hundred thousand rams with their fleeces.
5 Fe naho fa nihomake t’i Akabe le niola amy mpanjaka’ Israeley ty mpanjaka’ i Moabe.
And when Achab was dead, he broke the league which he had made with the king of Israel.
6 Niavotse i Somerone t’Iehorame mpanjaka henane zay le vinolili’e iaby t’Israele,
And king Joram went out that day from Samaria, and mustered all Israel.
7 vaho nañitrik’ am’ Iehosafate mpanjaka’ Iehoda, ty hoe: Fa niola amako ty mpanjaka’ i Moabe; hindre lia amako haname i Moabe an-kotakotake v’iheo? Le hoe re: Hionjomb’ eo, hoe te ihe izaho, hoe ondati’oo ondatikoo, hoe soavala’o o soavalakoo.
And he sent to Josaphat king of Juda, saying: The king of Moab is revolted from me, come with me against him to battle. And he answered: I will come up: he that is mine, is thine: my people, thy people: and my horses, thy horses.
8 Le hoe re, Hiary aia ty hionjonan-tika mb’eo? Le hoe ty natoi’e: Mb’amy lalañe miranga an-dratraratra’ i Edomey.
And he said: Which way shall we go up? But he answered: By the desert of Edom.
9 Aa le nimb’eo i mpanjaka’ Israeley, naho i mpanjaka’ Iehoday, naho ty mpanjaka’ i Edome; fito andro ty niaria’ iareo tsy aman-drano ho a i valobohòkey ndra ho a o hare nañorikeo.
So the king of Israel, and the king of Juda, and the king of Edom went, and they fetched a compass of seven days’ journey, and there was no water for the army, and for the beasts, that followed them.
10 Le hoe ty mpanjaka’ Israele! Hankàñe! toe kinanji’ Iehovà hifanontoñe o mpanjaka telo retoañe hanolora’e am-pità’ i Moabe.
And the king of Israel said: Alas, alas, alas, the Lord hath gathered us three kings together, to deliver us into the hands of Moab!
11 Fe hoe t’Iehosafate: Tsy amam-pitoki’ Iehovà hao ty atoañe hañontanean-tika am’ Iehovà? Le nanoiñe aze ty raik’ amo mpitoro’ i mpanjaka’ Israeleio, ami’ ty hoe: Atoa t’i Elisà ana’ i Sefate, i mpañilin-drano am-pità’ i Eliày.
And Josaphat said: Is there not here a prophet of the Lord, that we may beseech the Lord by him? And one of the servants of the king of Israel answered: Here is Eliseus the son of Saphat, who poured water on the hands of Elias.
12 Le hoe t’Iehosafate, Ama’e ty tsara’ Iehovà. Aa le nizotso mb’ama’e mb’eo ty mpanjaka’ Israele naho Iehosafate, naho ty mpanjaka’ i Edome.
And Josaphat said: The word of the Lord is with him. And the king of Israel, and Josaphat king of Juda, and the king of Edom went down to him.
13 Le hoe t’i Elisà amy mpanjaka’ Israeley: Inoñ’ ama’o iraho? Akia mb’am-pitokin-drae’o naho mpitokin-drene’o añe. Le hoe ty mpanjaka’ Israele ama’e: Aiy! fa kinanji’ Iehovà hifanontoñe o mpanjaka telo retoañe hanolora’e am-pità’ i Moabe.
And Eliseus said to the king of Israel: What have I to do with thee? go to the prophets of thy father, and thy mother. And the king of Israel said to him: Why hath the Lord gathered together these three kings, to deliver them into the hands of Moab?
14 Le hoe t’i Elisà, Kanao veloñe t’Iehovà’ i Màroy ijohañako, naho tsy nihaoñeko ty fiatrefa’ Iehosafate mpanjaka’ Iehoday, le toe tsy ho nitoliheko irehe, tsy ho nitreako.
And Eliseus said to him: As the Lord of hosts liveth, in whose sight I stand, if I did not reverence the face of Josaphat king of Juda, I would not have hearkened to thee, nor looked on thee.
15 Indeso mpititike iraho henaneo. Aa ie nititike i mpititikey le niheo ama’e ty fità’ Iehovà;
But now bring me hither a minstrel. And when the minstrel played, the hand of the Lord came upon him, and he said:
16 le hoe re, Hoe ty natoro’ Iehovà: Tsitsiho talahake ty vavatane toy.
Thus saith the Lord: Make the channel of this torrent full of ditches.
17 Fa hoe ty tsara’ Iehovà: Tsy hahaonin-tioke nahareo, tsy hahaisak’ orañe, fe ho atsa-drano ty vavatane toy vaho hitoho-drano, ie naho o añombe naho hare’ areoo.
For thus saith the Lord: You shall not see wind, nor rain: and yet this channel shall be filled with waters, and you shall drink, you and your families, and your beasts.
18 Toe maivañe am-pivazohoa’ Iehovà o raha zao; le hatolo’e am-pità’ areo ka o nte-Moabeo.
And this is a small thing in the sight of the Lord: moreover he will deliver also Moab into your hands.
19 Ho fofohe’ areo ze fonga rova aman-kijoly, naho ze hene rova soa, naho ho firae’ areo ze atao hatae soa, naho songa hazì’ areo ze rano manganahana, vaho sindre hampiantoe’ areo am-bato ze toetse an-tane soa.
And you shall destroy every fenced city, and every choice city, and shall cut down every fruitful tree, and shall stop up all the springs of waters, and every goodly field you shall cover with stones.
20 Ie maraindray, va’e amy fisoroñañey, le hehe te nihirike Edome ty rano vaho niatsa-drano i taney.
And it came to pass in the morning, when the sacrifices used to be offered, that behold, water came by the way of Edom, and the country was filled with water.
21 Aa ie jinanji’ o hene nte-Moabeo te nionjomb’eo i mpanjaka rey hialia’e, le sindre nikanjieñe ze nahafiombe fikalañe naho o zoke’eo vaho nijohañe añ’efe-tane eo.
And all the Moabites hearing that the kings were come up to fight against them, gathered together all that were girded with a belt upon them, and stood in the borders.
22 Aa ie nañampitso te nitroatse, le nimilemiletse amy ranoy i àndroy, aa naho nioni’ o nte-Moabeo i rano eroy le hoe hamenan-dio;
And they rose early in the morning, and the sun being now up, and shining upon the waters, the Moabites saw the waters over against them red, like blood,
23 le hoe iereo: Lio ‘nio: vata’e nifandrapake o mpanjakao, vaho songa nifanjevo an-drañe’e t’indaty. Antao hikopake ry Moabe.
And they said: It is the blood of the sword: the kings have fought among themselves, and they have killed one another: go now, Moab, to the spoils.
24 Aa ie nivotrak’ an-tobe’ Israele eo, nitroatse o nte-Israeleo nandihitse o nte-Moabeo, toly ndra nitriban-day nisitake am’iereo. Le linafa’ iareo an-kaozarañe ty tane’ i Moabe.
And they went into the camp of Israel: but Israel rising up defeated Moab, who fled before them. And they being conquerors, went and smote Moab.
25 Fonga rinotsa’ iareo mañambane o rovao; le songa ondaty nandretsake ty vato’e amy ze atao tane soa iaby; vaho natsafeñe; hene zinenje’ iareo ze rano manganahana, sindre finira’ iareo ze hatae soa; naho tsy i Kir’ karese avao ty nisisa mbe reketse kijoli-vato; aa le niarikoboñe aze o mpampipiletseo vaho dinemo’ iereo.
And they destroyed the cities: and they filled every goodly field, every man casting his stone: and they stopt up all the springs of waters: and cut down all the trees that bore fruit, so that brick walls only remained: and the city was beset by the slingers, and a great part thereof destroyed.
26 Ie oni’ i mpanjaka’ i Moabey te loho nampangirifiry aze i hotakotakey, le rinambe’e t’indaty fiton-jato nahafitarike fibara, hiboroboñake mb’amy mpanjaka’ i Edomey mb’eo f’ie tsy nahalefe.
And when the king of Moab saw this, to wit, that the enemies had prevailed, he took with him seven hundred men that drew the sword, to break in upon the king of Edom: but they could not.
27 Rinambe’e amy zao ty tañoloñoloña’e ho nandimbe aze hifehe, vaho nisoroña’e ambone’ i kijoliy ey. Akore amy zao ty fitorifiha’ Israele kanao nienga, nimpoly mb’an-tane’ iareo añe.
Then he took his eldest son that should have reigned in his stead, and offered him for a burnt offering upon the wall: and there was great indignation in Israel, and presently they departed from him, and returned into their own country.
