2 Whakapapa 18
1 Heoi nui atu nga taonga me te kororia o Iehohapata; a i piri ano raua ko Ahapa i te ara pakuwha.
And Jehoshaphat has riches and honor in abundance, and joins affinity to Ahab,
2 Na i te mutunga o etahi tau ka haere atu ia ki a Ahapa, ki Hamaria. A he tini nga hipi me nga kau i patua e Ahapa ma ratou ko ona hoa. Na kei te kukume ia i a ia kia haere tahi raua ki Ramoto Kireara.
and goes down at the end of [certain] years to Samaria to [visit] Ahab, and Ahab sacrifices sheep and oxen in abundance for him and for the people who [are] with him, and persuades him to go up to Ramoth-Gilead.
3 A ka mea a Ahapa kingi o Iharaira ki a Iehohapata kingi o Hura, Kia haere taua ki Ramoto Kireara? Ano ra ko tera ki a ia, Ko ahau, ko koe, rite tonu taua; ko toku iwi, ko tou iwi, rite tonu; hei hoa ano matou mou ki te pakanga.
And Ahab king of Israel says to Jehoshaphat king of Judah, “Do you go with me [to] Ramoth-Gilead?” And he says to him, “As I—so you, and as your people—my people, and [we go] with you into the battle.”
4 A ka mea a Iehohapata ki te kingi o Iharaira, Tena, rapua aianei tetahi kupu i a Ihowa.
And Jehoshaphat says to the king of Israel, “Please seek the word of YHWH this day.”
5 Na ka huihuia nga poropiti e te kingi o Iharaira, e wha rau tangata. Na ka mea ia ki a ratou, Me haere ranei matou ki Ramoto Kireara ki te whawhai, kauaka ranei ahau e haere? Ano ra ko ratou; Haere; ma te Atua hoki e homai ki te ringa o te kingi.
And the king of Israel gathers the prophets, four hundred men, and says to them, “Do we go to Ramoth-Gilead to battle, or do I refrain?” And they say, “Go up, and God gives [it] into the hand of the king.”
6 Na ka mea a Iehohapata, Kahore ranei i konei tetahi atu, he poropiti na Ihowa, hei rapunga atu ma tatou?
And Jehoshaphat says, “[Is there] not still a prophet of YHWH here, and we seek from him?”
7 Ano ra ko te kingi o Iharaira ki a Iehohapata, Tenei ano tetahi tangata, hei rapunga atu ma tatou i ta Ihowa; otiia e kino ana ahau ki a ia; no te mea kahore ana poropiti pai moku; he kino kau tana i nga ra katoa; ko Mikaia tera, ko te tama a Imi ra. Na ka mea a Iehohapata, Kaua e pena mai te kupu a te kingi.
And the king of Israel says to Jehoshaphat, “[There is] still one man to seek YHWH from him, and I have hated him, for he is not prophesying of good concerning me, but of evil [for] all his days, he [is] Micaiah son of Imlah”; and Jehoshaphat says, “Do not let the king say so.”
8 Katahi te kingi o Iharaira ka karanga ki tetahi o nga rangatira, ka mea, Kia hohoro mai a Mikaia tama a Imira.
And the king of Israel calls to a certain officer and says, “Hurry Micaiah son of Imlah.”
9 Na i runga te kingi o Iharaira raua ko Iehohapata kingi o Hura i tona torona, i tona torona e noho ana, oti rawa o raua kakahu te kakahu, a noho ana raua i te wahi tuwhera, i te kuwaha o te keti o Hamaria, me te poropiti ano nga poropiti katoa i to raua aroaro.
And the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat king of Judah are sitting, each on his throne, clothed with garments, and they are sitting in a threshing-floor at the opening of the Gate of Samaria, and all the prophets are prophesying before them.
10 Na kua oti i a Terekia tama a Kenaana etahi haona rino te hanga mana. Ko tana kupu ano tenei, Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa, Ka tukia nga Hiriani e koe ki enei a poto noa.
And Zedekiah son of Chenaanah makes horns of iron for himself and says, “Thus said YHWH:
11 Me nga poropiti katoa, pera tonu ta ratou poropiti: i mea ratou, Haere ki Ramoto Kireara, kia taea hoki tau; kua homai hoki e Ihowa ki te ringa o te kingi.
With these you push Aram until you have consumed them.” And all the prophets are prophesying so, saying, “Go up [to] Ramath-Gilead and prosper, and YHWH has given [it] into the hand of the king.”
12 A i korero te karere i haere nei ki te tiki 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 has gone to call for Micaiah has spoken to him, saying, “Behold, the words of the prophets [as] one mouth [are] good toward the king, and please let your word be like one of theirs: and you have spoken good.”
13 Na ka mea a Mikaia, E ora ana a Ihowa, ina, ko ta toku Atua e korero mai ai ki ahau, ko taku tena e korero ai.
And Micaiah says “YHWH lives, surely that which my God says, I speak it.”
14 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 ta koutou; ka homai hoki ratou ki to koutou ringa.
And he comes to the king, and the king says to him, “Micaiah, do we go to Ramoth-Gilead to battle, or do I refrain?” And he says, “Go up, and prosper, and they are given into your hand.”
15 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 i runga i te ingoa o Ihowa, ko te mea pono anake.
And the king says to him, “How many times am I adjuring you that you speak to me only truth in the Name of YHWH?”
16 Katahi tera ka ki, 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 ratou ki tona whare, ki tona whare.
And he says, “I have seen all Israel scattered on the mountains, as sheep that have no shepherd, and YHWH says, There are no masters for these, they each return to his house in peace.”
17 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 says to Jehoshaphat, “Did I not say to you [that] he does not prophesy good concerning me, but rather of evil?”
18 Na ka mea tera, Mo reira whakarongo 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 matau, i tona maui.
And [Micaiah] says, “Therefore, hear a word of YHWH: I have seen YHWH sitting on His throne, and all the host of the heavens standing on His right and His left;
19 Na ka mea a Ihowa, Ko wai hei whakapati i a Ahapa kingi o Iharaira kia haere ai, kia hinga ai ki Ramoto Kireara? Na puta ke ta tenei kupu, puta ke ta tenei kupu.
and YHWH says, Who entices Ahab king of Israel, and he goes up and falls in Ramoth-Gilead? And this speaker says thus, and that speaker thus.
20 Na ko te putanga o tetahi wairua, tu ana i te aroaro o Ihowa, ka mea, Maku ia e whakapati. A ka mea a Ihowa ki a ia, Me pehea?
And the spirit goes out, and stands before YHWH, and says, I entice him; and YHWH says to him, With what?
21 Ano ra ko tera, Me haere atu 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 says, I go out, and have become a spirit of falsehood in the mouth of all his prophets. And He says, You entice, and also, you are able; go out and do so.
22 Na, tena, kua hoatu inaianei e Ihowa he wairua teka ki te mangai o enei poropiti au, kua kino ano ta Ihowa korero mou.
And now, behold, YHWH has put a spirit of falsehood in the mouth of these prophets of yours, and YHWH has spoken calamity concerning you.”
23 Katahi ka whakatata a Terekia tama a Kenaana, ka patu 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 comes near and strikes Micaiah on the cheek, and says, “Where [is] this—the way the spirit [from] YHWH passed over from me to speak with you?”
24 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 says, “Behold, you see in that day that you enter into the innermost chamber to be hidden.”
25 Katahi te kingi o Iharaira ka mea, Kawea atu a Mikaia, whakahokia ki a Amono rangatira o te pa, ki a Ioaha hoki tama a te kingi:
And the king of Israel says, “Take Micaiah, and turn him back to Amon head of the city, and to Joash son of the king,
26 Ki atu hoki, Ko te kupu tenei a te kingi, Hoatu tenei ki te whare herehere, whangaia hoki ki te taro o te tangihanga, ki te wai o te tangihanga, kia hoki mai ra ano ahau i runga i te rangimarie.
and you have said, Thus said the king: Put this [one] in the house of restraint, and cause him to eat bread of oppression, and water of oppression, until my return in peace.”
27 Ano ra ko Mikaia, Ki te tupono koe te hoki mai i runga i te rangimarie, heoi he teka naku i whakapuaki ta Ihowa korero. I mea ano ia, Whakarongo mai, e nga iwi katoa.
And Micaiah says, “If you certainly return in peace, YHWH has not spoken by me”; and he says, “Hear, O peoples, all of them!”
28 Heoi haere ana te kingi o Iharaira raua ko Iehohapata, kingi o Hura ki runga, ki Ramoto Kireara.
And the king of Israel goes up—and Jehoshaphat king of Judah—to Ramoth-Gilead;
29 Na ka mea te kingi o Iharaira ki a Iehohapata, Me whakaputa ke toku ahau, ka haere ki te whawhai; ko koe ia kakahuria ou kakahu. Heoi whakaputa ke ana te kingi o Iharaira i tona ahua, a haere ana raua ki te whawhai.
and the king of Israel says to Jehoshaphat to disguise himself, and to go into battle, “And you, put on your garments.” And the king of Israel disguises himself, and they go into battle.
30 Kua oti ano ana rangatira hariata te whakahau e te kingi o Hiria; i mea ia, Kaua e whawhai ki te iti, ki te rahi; engari ki te kingi anake o Iharaira.
And the king of Aram has commanded the heads of the charioteers whom he has, saying, “You do not fight with small or with great, except with the king of Israel by himself.”
31 Na, i te kitenga o nga rangatira o nga hariata i a Iehohapata, ka mea ratou, Ko te kingi o Iharaira tenei. Na kua mui ki a ia ki te whawhai. Otiia ko te karangatanga o Iehohapata, a ka awhinatia ia e Ihowa; a na te Atua ratou i mea kia whakarere i a ia.
And it comes to pass at the heads of the charioteers seeing Jehoshaphat, that they have said, “He is the king of Israel,” and they turn around against him to fight, and Jehoshaphat cries out, and YHWH has helped him, and God entices them from him;
32 Na, i te kitenga o nga rangatira o nga hariata ehara i te kingi o Iharaira, hoki ana ratou i te whai i a ia.
indeed, it comes to pass, at the heads of the charioteers seeing that it has not been the king of Israel—they turn back from after him.
33 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 reira tera i mea ai ki te kaiarataki o tana hariata, Tahuri tou ringa; kawea atu ahau i roto i te ope; kua tu hoki ahau.
And a man has drawn with a bow in his simplicity, and strikes the king of Israel between the joinings and the coat of mail, and he says to the charioteer, “Turn your hand, and you have brought me out of the camp, for I have become [gravely] sick.”
34 Na ka rahi haere te whawhai i taua ra; a i whakamanawanui te kingi o Iharaira, i tu atu ki nga Hiriani i runga i tona hariata, a ahiahi noa; a i te rerenga o te ra ka mate.
And the battle increases on that day, and the king of Israel has been propped up in the chariot in front of Aram until the evening, and he dies at the time of the going in of the sun.
