< 1 Kingi 22 >

1 Na e toru o ratou tau e noho ana, a kahore he whawhai a Hiria ki a Iharaira.
And they sit still three years, there is no war between Aram and Israel,
2 Na i te toru o nga tau ka haere iho a Iehohapata kingi o Hura ki raro, ki te kingi o Iharaira.
and it cometh to pass in the third year, that Jehoshaphat king of Judah cometh down unto the king of Israel,
3 Na ka mea te kingi o Iharaira ki ana tangata, E mohio ana ranei koutou no tatou Ramoto Kireara, a e ata noho nei tatou, kahore e tangohia e tatou i te ringa o te kingi o Hiria?
and the king of Israel saith unto his servants, 'Have ye not known that ours [is] Ramoth-Gilead? and we are keeping silent from taking it out of the hand of the king of Aram!'
4 Na ka mea ia ki a Iehohapata, ka haere ranei koe, taua ki Ramoto Kireara ki te whawhai? Ano ra ko Iehohapata ki te kingi o Iharaira, Ko ahau, ko koe, taua taua; ko toku iwi, ko tou iwi, ratou ratou; ko oku hoiho, ko ou hoiho, rite tonu.
And he saith unto Jehoshaphat, 'Dost thou go with me to battle [to] Ramoth-Gilead?' and Jehoshaphat saith unto the king of Israel, 'As I am, so thou; as my people, so thy people; as my horses, so thy horses.'
5 I mea ano a Iehohapata ki te kingi o Iharaira, Tena, rapua aianei tetahi kupu i a Ihowa.
And Jehoshaphat saith unto the king of Israel, 'Seek, I pray thee, to-day, the word of Jehovah;'
6 Katahi ka huihuia nga poropiti e te kingi o Iharaira, e wha rau aua tangata. Na ka mea ia ki a ratou, Me haere ranei ahau ki Ramoto Kireara ki te whawhai, kauaka ranei? Ano ra ko ratou; Haere; ma te Ariki hoki e homai ki te ringa o te kingi.
and the king of Israel gathereth the prophets, about four hundred men, and saith unto them, 'Do I go against Ramoth-Gilead to battle, or do I forbear?' and they say, 'Go up, and the Lord doth give [it] into the hand of the king.'
7 Na ka mea a Iehohapata, Kahore ranei tetahi atu i konei, tetahi poropiti a Ihowa, hei rapunga atu ma tatou?
And Jehoshaphat saith, 'Is there not here a prophet of Jehovah besides, and we seek by him?'
8 Ano ra ko te kingi o Iharaira ki a Iehohapata, Tenei ano tetahi, ko Mikaia tama a Imira hei rapunga atu ma tatou i ta Ihowa: otiia e kino ana ahau ki a ia; kahore hoki ana poropiti pai moku; engari he kino. Na ka mea a Iehohapata, Kaua e pena te kupu a te kingi.
And the king of Israel saith unto Jehoshaphat, 'Yet — one man to seek Jehovah by him, and I have hated him, for he doth not prophesy concerning me good, but evil — Micaiah son of Imlah;' and Jehoshaphat saith, 'Let not the king say so.'
9 Katahi te kingi o Iharaira ka karanga ki tetahi rangatira, ka mea, Kia hohoro te tiki atu i a Mikaia tama a Imira.
And the king of Israel calleth unto a certain eunuch, and saith, 'Hasten Micaiah son of Imlah.'
10 Na ka noho te kingi o Iharaira raua ko Iehohapata kingi o Hura, tena i runga i tona torona, tena i runga i tona torona, rakai rawa ki o raua kakahu, i te wahi takoto kau i te tomokanga ki te kuwaha o Hamaria; me te poropiti ano nga poropiti kato a i to raua aroaro.
And the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat king of Judah are sitting, each on his throne, clothed with garments, in a threshing-floor, at the opening of the gate of Samaria, and all the prophets are prophesying before them.
11 Na ka meatia e Terekia tama a Kenaana etahi haona rino mana, a ka mea ia, Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa, Ka pana nga Hiriani e koe ki enei a poto noa.
And Zedekiah son of Chenaanah maketh for himself horns of iron, and saith, 'Thus said Jehovah, By these thou dost push the Aramaeans till they are consumed;'
12 A pera tonu te poropiti a nga poropiti katoa, i mea ratou, Haere ki Ramoto Kireara, kia taea hoki tau; kua homai hoki e Ihowa ki te ringa o te kingi.
and all the prophets are prophesying so, saying, 'Go up to Ramoth-Gilead, and prosper, and Jehovah hath given [it] into the hand of the king.'
13 A i korero te karere i haere ki te karanga i a Mikaia, i mea ki a ia, Nana, ko nga kupu a nga poropiti ki te kingi kotahi tonu te mangai mo te pai: na kia rite tau kupu ki ta tetahi o ratou, kia pai au korero.
And the messenger who hath gone to call Micaiah hath spoken unto him, saying, 'Lo, I pray thee, the words of the prophets, with one mouth, [are] good towards the king; let it be, I pray thee, thy word as the word of one of them — and thou hast spoken good.'
14 Na ka mea a Mikaia, E ora ana a Ihowa, ina, ko ta Ihowa e korero mai ai ki ahau, ko taku tena e korero ai.
And Micaiah saith, 'Jehovah liveth; surely that which Jehovah saith unto me — it I speak.'
15 A, no tona taenga ki te kingi, ka mea te kingi ki a ia, E Mikaia, me haere ranei matou ki Ramoto Kireara ki te whawhai, kaua ranei? Ano ra ko tera ki a ia, Haere, kia taea hoki tau; kua hoatu hoki e Ihowa ki te ringa o te kingi.
And he cometh in unto the king, and the king saith unto him, 'Micaiah, do we go unto Ramoth-Gilead, to battle, or do we forbear?' and he saith unto him, 'Go up, and prosper, and Jehovah hath given [it] into the hand of the king.'
16 Na ka mea te kingi ki a ia, Kia hia ianei aku whakaoati i a koe kia kati au e korero mai ai ki ahau, ko te mea pono anake, i runga i te ingoa o Ihowa?
And the king saith unto him, 'How many times am I adjuring thee that thou speak nothing unto me but truth in the name of Jehovah?'
17 Na ka ki tera, I kite ahau i a Iharaira katoa e marara noa ana i runga i nga maunga, koia ano kei nga hipi kahore nei o ratou kaitiaki, a i mea a Ihowa, Kahore o enei ariki; kia hoki marie tera, tera, ki o ratou whare.
And he saith, 'I have seen all Israel scattered on the hills as sheep that have no shepherd, and Jehovah saith, These have no master; they turn back each to his house in peace.'
18 Na ka mea te kingi o Iharaira ki a Iehohapata, Kahore ianei ahau i ki atu ki a koe, e kore e pai tana poropiti moku; engari he kino?
And the king of Israel saith unto Jehoshaphat, 'Have I not said unto thee, He doth not prophesy of me good, but evil?'
19 Na ka ki tera, Mo reira whakarongo mai ki te kupu a Ihowa; i kite ahau i a Ihowa e noho ana i runga i tona torona, i te mano katoa ano o te rangi e tu ana i tona taha ki matau, i tona taha ki maui.
And he saith, 'Therefore, hear a word of Jehovah; I have seen Jehovah sitting on His throne, and all the host of the heavens standing by Him, on His right and on His left;
20 Na ka mea a Ihowa, Ko wai hei whakapati i a Ahapa kia haere ai, kia hinga ai ki Ramoto Kireara? Na puta ke ta tenei kupu, puta ke ta tenei kupu.
and Jehovah saith, Who doth entice Ahab, and he doth go up and fall in Ramoth-Gilead? and this one saith thus, and that one is saying thus.
21 Na ka puta tetahi wairua, ka tu ki te aroaro o Ihowa, ka mea, Maku ia e whakapati.
'And the spirit goeth out, and standeth before Jehovah, and saith, I — I do entice him; and Jehovah saith unto him, By what?
22 A ka mea a Ihowa ki a ia, Me pehea? ano ra ko tera, Me haere ahau, a hei wairua teka ahau i roto i nga mangai o ana poropiti katoa. Na ka mea ia, Mau ia e whakapati, ka taea ano e koe: haere, meatia tau na.
and he saith, I go out, and have been a spirit of falsehood in the mouth of all his prophets; and He saith, Thou dost entice, and also thou art able; go out and do so.
23 Na kua hoatu inaianei e Ihowa he wairua teka ki te mangai o enei poropiti katoa au, a kua kino ta Ihowa korero mou.
And now, lo, Jehovah hath put a spirit of falsehood in the mouth of all these thy prophets, and Jehovah hath spoken concerning thee — evil.'
24 Na ka whakatata a Terekia tama a Kenaana, ka papaki i te paparinga o Mikaia, ka mea, I na hea te haerenga atu o te wairua o Ihowa i ahau ki a koe korero ai?
And Zedekiah son of Chenaanah draweth nigh, and smiteth Micaiah on the cheek, and saith, 'Where [is] this — he hath passed over — the Spirit of Jehovah — from me to speak with thee?'
25 Ano ra ko Mikaia, Tera koe e kite i te ra e haere ai koe ki tetahi ruma i roto rawa piri ai.
And Micaiah saith, 'Lo, thou art seeing on that day, when thou goest in to the innermost chamber to be hidden.'
26 Na ka mea te kingi o Iharaira, Kawea atu a Mikaia, whakahokia ki a Amono rangatira o te pa, ki a Ioaha tama a te kingi;
And the king of Israel saith, 'Take Micaiah, and turn him back unto Amon head of the city, and unto Joash son of the king,
27 Ki atu hoki, Ko te kupu tenei a te kingi, Hoatu tenei ki te whare herehere, whangaia ki te taro o te tangihanga, ki te wai o te tangihanga, kia hoki mai ra ano ahau i runga i te rangimarie.
and thou hast said, Thus said the king, Place ye this one in the house of restraint, and cause him to eat bread of oppression, and water of oppression, till my coming in peace.'
28 Ano ra ko Mikaia, Ki te hoki mai koe i runga i te rangimarie, ehara ahau i te kaiwhakapuaki i a Ihowa korero. I mea ano ia, Whakarongo, e nga iwi, e koutou katoa!
And Micaiah saith, 'If thou at all return in peace — Jehovah hath not spoken by me;' and he saith, 'Hear, O peoples, all of them.'
29 Heoi haere ana te kingi o Iharaira raua ko Iehohapata kingi o Hura ki runga, ki Ramoto Kireara.
And the king of Israel goeth up, and Jehoshaphat king of Judah, to Ramoth-Gilead.
30 Na ka mea te kingi o Iharaira ki a Iehohapata, Me whakaputa ke toku ahua, ka haere ki te whawhai: ko koe ia kakahuria ou kakahu. Na whakaputa ke ana te kingi o Iharaira i tona ahua, a haere ana ki te whawhai.
And the king of Israel saith unto Jehoshaphat to disguise himself, and to go into battle, 'And thou, put on thy garments.' And the king of Israel disguiseth himself, and goeth into battle.
31 Na kua oti i te kingi o Hiria te whakahau ana rangatira e toru tekau ma rua, nga kaiwhakahaere o ana hariata, kua mea, Kaua e whawhai ki te iti, ki te rahi; engari ki te kingi anake o Iharaira.
And the king of Aram commanded the heads of the charioteers whom he hath — thirty and two — saying, 'Ye do not fight with small or with great, but with the king of Israel by himself.'
32 A, no te kitenga o nga rangatira o nga hariata i a Iehohapata, ka mea ratou, Koia ano tenei te kingi o Iharaira. Na peka ana ratou ki a ia ki te whawhai ki a ia. Na ko te hamamatanga o Iehohapata.
And it cometh to pass, at the heads of the charioteers seeing Jehoshaphat, that they said, 'He [is] only the king of Israel;' and they turn aside to him to fight, and Jehoshaphat crieth out,
33 A, i te kitenga o nga rangatira o nga hariata ehara ia i te kingi o Iharaira, hoki ana ratou i te whai i a ia.
and it cometh to pass, at the heads of the charioteers seeing that he [is] not the king of Israel, that they turn back from after him.
34 Na ka kumea te kopere e tetahi tangata, he mea noa iho, tu tonu te kingi o Iharaira i waenga pu o te hononga iho o te pukupuku. Na ka mea ia ki te kaiarataki o tana hariata, Tahuri tou ringa; kawea atu ahau i roto i te ope; kua tu hoki ahau, he tu kino.
And a man hath drawn with a bow, in his simplicity, and smiteth the king of Israel between the joinings and the coat of mail, and he saith to his charioteer, 'Turn thy hand, and take me out from the camp, for I have become sick.'
35 Na ka rahi haere te whawhai i taua ra: a he mea pupuri ake te kingi i runga i te hariata kia tu tonu atu ai ia ki nga Hiriani; a i te ahiahi ka mate: na rere ana nga toto o te tunga ki te riu o te hariata.
And the battle increaseth on that day, and the king hath been caused to stand in the chariot, over-against Aram, and he dieth in the evening, and the blood of the wound runneth out unto the midst of the chariot,
36 Na ka pa te karanga puta noa i te ope i te mea ka to te ra; ko te kupu tenei, Ki tona pa, ki tona whenua, e tera tangata, e tera tangata!
and he causeth the cry to pass over through the camp, at the going in of the sun, saying, 'Each unto his city, and each unto his land.'
37 Heoi ka mate te kingi, a ka kawea ki Hamaria, tanumia iho e ratou te kingi ki Hamaria.
And the king dieth, and cometh into Samaria, and they bury the king in Samaria;
38 A i horoia te hariata ki te poka wai i Hamaria; a mitikia ana ona toto e nga kuri: na he wahi horoinga tera no nga wahine kairau; ko ta Ihowa ia korero ai.
and [one] rinseth the chariot by the pool of Samaria, and the dogs lick his blood — when the armour they had washed — according to the word of Jehovah that He spake.
39 Na, ko era atu mahi a Ahapa me nga mea katoa i mea ai ia, me te whare rei i hanga e ia, me nga pa katoa i hanga e ia, kahore ianei i tuhituhia ki te pukapuka o nga meatanga o nga ra o nga kingi o Iharaira?
And the rest of the matters of Ahab, and all that he did, and the house of ivory that he built, and all the cities that he built, are they not written on the book of the Chronicles of the kings of Israel?
40 Na moe ana a Ahapa ki ona matua, a ko tana tama, ko Ahatia, te kingi i muri i a ia.
And Ahab lieth with his fathers, and Ahaziah his son reigneth in his stead.
41 No te wha o nga tau o Ahapa kingi o Iharaira i kingi ai a Iehohapata tama a Aha ki a Hura.
And Jehoshaphat son of Asa hath reigned over Judah in the fourth year of Ahab king of Israel,
42 E toru tekau ma rima nga tau o Iehohapata i tona kingitanga, a e rua tekau ma rima nga tau i kingi ai ia ki Hiruharama: ko te ingoa hoki o tona whaea, ko Atupa, he tamahine na Hirihi.
Jehoshaphat [is] a son of thirty and five years in his reigning, and twenty and five years he hath reigned in Jerusalem, and the name of his mother [is] Azubah daughter of Shilhi.
43 A i haere ia i nga ara katoa o tona papa, o Aha; kihai i peka ke; i mahi ia i te mea e tika ana ki ta Ihowa titiro; otiia kihai nga wahi tiketike i whakakahoretia; i patu whakahere ano te iwi, i tahu whakakakara ki nga wahi tiketike.
And he walketh in all the way of Asa his father, he hath not turned aside from it, to do that which [is] right in the eyes of Jehovah; only the high places have not turned aside, yet are the people sacrificing and making perfume in high places.
44 A i houhia te rongo e Iehohapata ki te kingi o Iharaira.
And Jehoshaphat maketh peace with the king of Israel;
45 Na, ko era atu meatanga a Iehohapata me ana mahi toa, me ana whawhaitanga, kahore ianei i tuhituhia ki te pukapuka o nga meatanga o nga ra o nga kingi o Hura?
and the rest of the matters of Jehoshaphat, and his might that he got, and with which he fought, are they not written on the book of the Chronicles of the kings of Judah?
46 I whakamotitia atu ano e ia i te whenua era atu o te hunga whakahoroma i mahue nei i nga ra o tona papa, o Aha.
And the remnant of the whoremongers who were left in the days of Asa his father he took away out of the land;
47 Na i taua wa kahore o Eroma kingi: he kawana te kingi.
and there is no king in Edom; he set up a king.
48 A i hanga etahi kaipuke o Tarahihi e Iehohapata hei tiki koura ki Opira. Otiia kihai i rere; i pakaru hoki nga kaipuke ki Ehiono Kepere.
Jehoshaphat made ships at Tarshish to go to Ophir for gold, and they went not, for the ships were broken in Ezion-Geber.
49 Katahi a Ahatia tama a Ahapa ka mea ki a Iehohapata, Kia eke tahi aku tangata me au tangata ki runga ki nga kaipuke. Otiia kihai a Iehohapata i pai.
Then said Ahaziah son of Ahab unto Jehoshaphat, 'Let my servants go with thy servants in the ships;' and Jehoshaphat was not willing.
50 Na ka moe a Iehohapata ki ona matua, a tanumia ana ki ona matua ki te pa o tona tupuna, o Rawiri; a ko tana tama, ko Iehorama te kingi i muri i a ia.
And Jehoshaphat lieth with his fathers, and is buried with his fathers in the city of David his father, and Jehoram his son reigneth in his stead.
51 No te tekau ma whitu o nga tau o Iehohapata kingi o Hura i kingi ai a Ahatia tama a Ahapa ki a Iharaira i Hamaria; a e rua nga tau i kingi ai ia ki a Iharaira.
Ahaziah son of Ahab hath reigned over Israel in Samaria in the seventeenth year of Jehoshaphat king of Judah, and reigneth over Israel two years,
52 A i kino tana mahi ki te aroaro o Ihowa, i haere hoki i te ara o tona papa, i te ara o tona whaea, i te ara ano o Ieropoama tama a Nepata, i hara ai a Iharaira:
and doth the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah, and walketh in the way of his father, and in the way of his mother, and in the way of Jeroboam son of Nebat who caused Israel to sin,
53 I mahi hoki ki a Paara, i koropiko ki a ia; i whakapataritari i a Ihowa, i te Atua o Iharaira: rite tonu tana ki nga mea katoa i mea ai tona papa.
and serveth the Baal, and boweth himself to it, and provoketh Jehovah, God of Israel, according to all that his father had done.
