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 Jehoram the son of Achab became king over Israel in Samaria in the eighteenth year of Jehoshaphat the king of Judah, 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 what is evil in the eyes of the Lord; but not like his father, and like his mother; and he removed the statue of Ba'al 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 unto the sins of Jerobo'am the son of Nebat, who had induced Israel to sin, did he cleave: he departed not therefrom.
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.
And Mesha' the king of Moab was a sheepmaster, and rendered as tribute unto the king of Israel a hundred thousand lambs, and a hundred thousand rams, with the wool.
5 Fe naho fa nihomake t’i Akabe le niola amy mpanjaka’ Israeley ty mpanjaka’ i Moabe.
And it came to pass, when Achab was dead, that the king of Moab rebelled against the king of Israel.
6 Niavotse i Somerone t’Iehorame mpanjaka henane zay le vinolili’e iaby t’Israele,
And king Jehoram went out of Samaria at that time, and numbered 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 went and sent to Jehoshaphat the king of Judah, saying, The king of Moab hath rebelled against me: wilt thou go with me against Moab to battle? And he said, I will go up, I as thyself, my people as thy people, my horses as 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? And he said, The way through the wilderness 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 went with the king of Judah, and the king of Edom: and they took a circuitous route, a seven days' journey; and there was no water for the camp, and for the cattle that followed in their train.
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! that the Lord hath called these three kings, to deliver them into the hand 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.
But Jehoshaphat said, Is there not here a prophet of the Lord, that we may inquire of the Lord from him? And there answered one of the king of Israel's servants and said, Here is Elisha' the son of Shaphat, who poured water on the hands of Elijah.
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 Jehoshaphat said, The word of the Lord is with him. And there went down to him the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat and the king of Edom.
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 Elisha' said unto the king of Israel, What have I to do with thee? go to the prophets of thy father, and to the prophets of thy mother. And the king of Israel said unto him, Not so; for the Lord hath called these three kings, to deliver them into the hand 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 Elisha' said, As the Lord of hosts liveth, before whom I have stood, surely, were it not that I regard the presence of Jehoshaphat the king of Judah, I would not look toward thee, nor see thee.
15 Indeso mpititike iraho henaneo. Aa ie nititike i mpititikey le niheo ama’e ty fità’ Iehovà;
But now bring me a musician. And it came to pass, when the musician played, that the inspiration of the Lord came upon him.
16 le hoe re, Hoe ty natoro’ Iehovà: Tsitsiho talahake ty vavatane toy.
And he said, Thus hath said the Lord, Make this valley 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 hath said the Lord, Ye shall not perceive wind, nor shall ye see rain; yet this valley shall be filled with water, that ye may drink, yourselves, and your flocks, and your cattle.
18 Toe maivañe am-pivazohoa’ Iehovà o raha zao; le hatolo’e am-pità’ areo ka o nte-Moabeo.
And this is yet too light a thing in the eyes of the Lord; and he will also deliver the Moabites into your hand.
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 ye shall smite every fortified city, and every choice city, and every good tree shall ye fell, and all springs of water shall ye stop, and every good piece of land shall ye spoil 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, at the time when the meat-offering is offered, that, behold, there came water by the way from Edom, and the country was filled with the 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 when all the Moabites heard that the kings were come up to fight against them, they were called together from every one who was girded with a sword, and upward, and they posted themselves on the border.
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 when they rose up early in the morning, and the sun shone upon the water, the Moabites saw the water at a distance as red as 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, This is blood; the kings have certainly had a contest among themselves, and they have smitten one another: and now, up to the spoil, Moab.
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.
But when they came to the camp of Israel, the Israelites rose up and smote the Moabites, so that they fled before them; and they smote the Moabites completely, even in their own country.
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 the cities they pulled down, and into every good piece of land they cast every man his stone, and filled it up, and every spring of water they stopped, and every good tree they felled, until they left only its stones in Kir-chareseth, and this the slingers encompassed and smote it.
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 that the battle was too strong for him, he took with him seven hundred men that drew the sword, to break through unto 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 took he 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 against Israel: and they departed from him, and returned to their land.
