2 Mpanjaka 1
1 Ie nihomake t’i Akabe, le niola am’ Israele t’i Moabe.
After the death of Ahab, Moab made itself free from the authority of Israel.
2 Nitsirikoake boak’ amy tsingarakara’ i efe’e ambone eo e Someroney t’i Ahkazià le nisiloke vaho nampañitrife’e ty ìrake, ami’ty hoe: Akia. añontaneo amy Baalezebobe, ‘ndrahare’ i Ekrone, ke hiambeñe iraho amo areteko zao.
Now Ahaziah had a fall from the window of his room in Samaria, and was ill. And he sent men, and said to them, Put a question to Baal-zebub, the god of Ekron, about the outcome of my disease, to see if I will get well or not.
3 Fe hoe ty tsara’ i anjeli’ Iehovà amy Elià nte-Tisbý: Miongaha, akia mifanalakà amo ìra’ i mpanjaka’ i Someroneio, le ano ty hoe: Aa vaho tsy aman’ Añahare hao t’Israele, t’ie homb’ amy Baalezebobe ‘ndrahare’ i Ekrone hañontane aze?
But the angel of the Lord said to Elijah the Tishbite, Go now, and, meeting the men sent by the king of Samaria, say to them, Is it because there is no God in Israel, that you are going to get directions from Baal-zebub, the god of Ekron?
4 Aa le hoe ty nafè’ Iehovà: Tsy hizotso amy fandreañe nijoña’oy irehe, fa toe hivetrake. Le nienga t’i Elià.
Give ear then to the words of the Lord: You will never again get down from the bed on to which you have gone up, but death will certainly come to you. Then Elijah went away.
5 Nimpoly ama’e o ìra’eo, le hoe re ama’e: Ino ty nimpolia’ areo?
And the men he had sent came back to the king; and he said to them, Why have you come back?
6 Le nanoa’ iareo ty hoe: Nifanampe ama’ay t’indaty nanao ty hoe: Akia mimpolia mb’ amy mpanjaka nañirak’ anahareoy, vaho isaontsio ty hoe: Hoe ty nafè’ Iehovà: Aa vaho tsy aman’ Añahare hao t’Israele te ihe mañitrike hañontane e Baalezebobe ‘ndrahare’ i Ekrone? Aa le tsy hizotsoa’o i fandreañe nijoña’o, fa toe hihomake.
And they said to him, On our way we had a meeting with a man who said, Go back to the king who sent you and say to him, The Lord says, Is it because there is no God in Israel that you send to put a question to Baal-zebub, the god of Ekron? For this reason, you will not come down from the bed on to which you have gone up, but death will certainly come to you.
7 Le hoe re am’ iereo: T’indaty manao akore ty nifanalaka ama’ areo, nisaontsy i entañe zay ama’ areo?
And he said to them, What sort of a man was it who came and said these words to you?
8 Le hoe ty natoi’ iareo: Ondaty volovoloeñe, midian-kolitse an-toha’e. Le hoe re: I Elià nte-Tisbý izay.
And they said in answer, He was a man clothed in a coat of hair, with a leather band about his body. Then he said, It is Elijah the Tishbite.
9 Aa le nañirake ty mpifehe-limampolo rekets’ i limampolo’ey i mpanjakay. Niañambone mb’ama’e mb’eo iereo, le ingo ie niambesatse an-dengom-bohitse ey. Le hoe re ama’e: O ondatin’ Añahareo, hoe ty enta’ i mpanjakay: Mizotsoa.
Then the king sent to him a captain of fifty with his fifty men; and he went up to him where he was seated on the top of a hill, and said to him, O man of God, the king has said, Come down.
10 Le hoe ty natoi’ i Elià i mpifehe limampoloy: Naho toe ondatin’ Añahare iraho le ee te hizotso boak’ andikerañe ey ty afo hamorototo azo naho o limampolo’oo, Aa le nikodoiñe boak’ andikerañe añe ty afo namorototo aze rekets’ i limampolo rey.
And Elijah in answer said to the captain of fifty, If I am a man of God, may fire come down from heaven on you and on your fifty men, and put an end to you. Then fire came down from heaven and put an end to him and his fifty men.
11 Nañirake mpifehe limampolo indraike re rekets’ i limampolo’ey. Le nisaontsia’e ty hoe: Ry ‘ndatin’ Añahareo, hoe i mpanjakay: Mizotsoa ami’ty manao zao.
Then the king sent another captain of fifty with his fifty men; and he said to Elijah, O man of God, the king says, Come down quickly.
12 Le hoe ty natoi’ i Elià: Naho toe ‘ndatin’ Añahare iraho, le ee te hizotso boak’ an-dikerañe ey ty afo hamorototo azo naho o limampolo’oo. Le nizotso boak’ aman’ Añahare an-dikerañe añe ty afo namorototo aze rekets’ i limampolo’ey.
And Elijah in answer said, If I am a man of God, may fire come down from heaven on you and on your fifty men, and put an end to you. And the fire of God came down from heaven, and put an end to him and his fifty men.
13 Nañirake indraike re, le ty mpifehe limampolo fahatelo reketse ty limam-polo’e. Nitroatse mb’eo i mpifehe limampoloy, le nitongalek’ añatrefa’ i Elià eo vaho nihalalia’e ami’ty hoe: Ry ondatin’ Añahare, miambane ama’o, ehe te ho vara am-pahaisaha’o ty fiaiko naho ty fiai’ o mpitoro’o limampolo retoañe.
Then he sent a third captain of fifty with his fifty men; and the third captain of fifty went up, and falling on his knees before Elijah, requesting mercy of him, said, O man of God, let my life and the life of these your fifty servants be of value to you.
14 Toe nihotrake boak’ andikerañe ey ty afo namorototo i mpifehe limampolo taolo rey rekets’ i limampolo’ iareoy; fe ee te ho sarotse ampahaoniña’o henaneo ty fiaiko.
For fire came down from heaven and put an end to the first two captains of fifty and their fifties; but now let my life be of value in your eyes.
15 Le hoe ty tsara’ i anjeli’ Iehovày amy Elià: Mindreza fizotso ama’e, ko hembañe. Le niongake re nizotso mindre ama’e mb’ amy mpanjakay mb’eo.
Then the angel of the Lord said to Elijah, Go down with him; have no fear of him. So he got up and went down with him to the king.
16 Le hoe re tama’e: Hoe ty nafè’ Iehovà: Ie nañitrik’ ìrake hañontane i Baalezebobe, ‘ndrahare’ i Ekrone; tsy aman’Añahare hao t’Israele hañontanea’o i tsara’ey? Toly ndra tsy hizotsoa’o o fandreañe nijoña’oo fa toe hivetrake.
And he said to him, This is the word of the Lord: Because you sent men to put a question to Baal-zebub, the god of Ekron, for this reason you will never again get down from the bed on to which you have gone up, but death will certainly come to you.
17 Aa le nihomake re ty amy tsara’ Iehovà nisaontsie’ i Eliày. Le niorotse nandimbe aze nifehe t’Iehorame amy taom-paharoe’ Iehorame ana’ Iehosafate mpanjaka’ Iehoday; amy t’ie tsy nanañ’ ana-dahy.
So death came to him, as the Lord had said by the mouth of Elijah. And Jehoram became king in his place in the second year of the rule of Jehoram, son of Jehoshaphat, king of Judah; because he had no son.
18 Le o fitoloñañe ila’e nanoe’ i Ahkaziào, tsy fa sinokitse amy bokem-pamoliliañe o mpanjaka’ Israeleoy hao?
Now the rest of the acts of Ahaziah, are they not recorded in the book of the history of the kings of Israel?
