Boqorradii Kowaad 22
1 Oo intii saddex sannadood ah ayaanu dagaal dhex marin dadka Suuriya iyo dadka Israa'iil.
For almost three years there was no war between Syria and Israel.
2 Oo waxay noqotay sannaddii saddexaad in Yehooshaafaad oo dalka Yahuudah boqor ka ahaa u yimid boqorkii dalka Israa'iil.
Then King Jehoshaphat, who ruled Judah, went to [visit] King Ahab, who ruled Israel.
3 Markaasaa boqorkii dalka Israa'iil addoommadiisii ku yidhi, War miyeydnaan ogayn inaan iska leennahay Raamod Gilecaad? Oo annana waannu iska fadhinnaa, oo kalama aannu bixin gacantii boqorka Suuriya!
[While they were talking, ] Ahab said to his officials, “Do you realize that the Syrians are still occupying our city of Ramoth in [the] Gilead [region]? And we are doing nothing to retake that city!”
4 Oo wuxuu Yehooshaafaad ku yidhi, Dagaal baan Raamod Gilecaad u tegayaaye ma i raacaysaa? Oo Yehooshaafaadna wuxuu boqorkii dalka Israa'iil ku yidhi, Anigu kula mid baan ahay, oo dadkayguna waa dadkaagoo kale, fardahayguna waa fardahaagoo kale.
Then he turned to Jehoshaphat and asked, “Will your [army] join my [army] to fight against the people of Ramoth [and retake that city]?” Jehoshaphat replied, “[Certainly] I [will do whatever] you [want], and you may command my troops. You may take my horses into battle, also.”
5 Markaasaa Yehooshaafaad boqorkii dalka Israa'iil ku yidhi, Waan ku baryayaaye bal maanta erayga Rabbiga wax weyddii.
Then he added, “But we should ask Yahweh first, to find out what he wants us to do.”
6 Markaasaa boqorkii dalka Israa'iil soo wada ururiyey nebiyadii oo ahaa in ku dhow afar boqol oo nin, oo wuxuu ku yidhi, Raamod Gilecaad dagaal ma u tagaa mise waan iska daayaa? Oo iyana waxay ku yidhaahdeen, Tag, waayo, Sayidku wuxuu iyada soo gelin doonaa gacantaada, boqorow.
So Ahab summoned about 400 of his prophets together, and he asked them, “Should my [army] go to fight the people in Ramoth and retake that city, or not?” They answered, “Yes, go [and attack them], because God will enable your [army] to defeat them.”
7 Laakiinse Yehooshaafaad wuxuu ku yidhi, Kuwan mooyaane miyaanu nebi Rabbigu jirin aan wax weyddiinnee?
But Jehoshaphat asked, “Is there no prophet of Yahweh here whom we can ask?”
8 Markaasaa boqorkii dalka Israa'iil wuxuu Yehooshaafaad ku yidhi, Weli waxaa jira nin kale oo aan Rabbiga wax ka weyddiin karno, kaasuna waa Miikayhuu ina Yimlaah, laakiinse waan nebcahay, maxaa yeelay, isagu wax wanaagsan igama sheego wax xun mooyaane, oo Yehooshaafaadna wuxuu ku yidhi, Boqorow, saas ha odhan.
The King of Israel replied, “There is one man we can talk to. We can ask him if he can find out what Yahweh wants. His name is Micaiah; he is the son of Imlah. But I hate him, because when he (prophesies/tells what God says to him) he never says [that] anything good [will happen] to me. He always predicts [that] bad things [will happen to me].” Jehoshaphat replied, “King Ahab, you should not say that!”
9 Markaasaa boqorkii dalka Israa'iil u yeedhay mid sirkaal ah, oo wuxuu ku yidhi, Haddiiba ii keen Miikayhuu ina Yimlaah.
So the king of Israel told one of his officers to summon Micaiah immediately.
10 Haddaba boqorkii dalka Israa'iil iyo Yehooshaafaad oo ahaa boqorkii dalka Yahuudah mid kastaaba wuxuu ku fadhiyey carshigiisii, isagoo dharkii boqornimada qaba, oo waxay fadhiyeen meel bannaan oo ku taal iridda Samaariya laga soo galo, oo nebiyadii oo dhammuna hortooday wax ku sii sheegayeen.
The king of Israel and the king of Judah were wearing their (royal robes/robes that showed that they were kings). They were sitting on thrones at the place where people threshed grain, near the gate of Samaria [city]. All of Ahab’s prophets were standing in front of the kings, (prophesying/predicting what was going to happen).
11 Oo Sidqiyaah ina Kenacanaah ayaa samaystay geeso bir ah, oo wuxuu yidhi, Waxaa Rabbigu leeyahay, Kuwan waad ku hardiyi doontaa reer Suuriya ilaa ay wada baabba'aan.
One of them, whose name was Zedekiah, the son of Kenaanah, had made from iron [something that resembled] horns of a bull. Then he proclaimed [to Ahab], “This is what Yahweh says: ‘With horns like these your [army] will keep attacking the Syrians [like a bull attacks another animal] [MET], until you completely destroy them!’”
12 Oo nebiyadii oo dhammuna saasay sii wada sheegeen, iyagoo leh, Raamod Gilecaad tag oo guulayso, maxaa yeelay, Rabbigu wuu soo gelin doonaa gacantaada, boqorow.
All the [other] prophets [of Ahab] agreed. They said, “Yes! If you go up to attack Ramoth [city] in [the] Gilead [region], you will be successful, because Yahweh will enable you to defeat them!”
13 Oo wargeeyskii Miikayhuu loo diray inuu u soo yeedho wuu la hadlay oo ku yidhi, Bal eeg, nebiyadii war wanaagsan bay u sheegeen boqorkii, oo isku af bay ku wada hadleen. Haddaba waxaan kaa baryayaa in eraygaagu la mid noqdo eraygooda, oo adigu wax wanaagsan ku hadal.
Meanwhile, the messenger who went to summon Micaiah said to him, “Listen to me! All the other prophets are predicting that the king’s army will defeat the Syrians. So be sure that you agree with them and say (what will be favorable/that the king’s army will be successful).”
14 Markaasaa Miikayhuu yidhi, Rabbiga noloshiisaan ku dhaartaye waxaan sheegayaa wax alla wixii Rabbigu igu yidhaahdo.
But Micaiah replied, “As surely as Yahweh lives, I will tell him only what Yahweh tells me to say.”
15 Oo markuu boqorkii u yimid ayaa boqorkii ku yidhi, Miikayhuuyow, Raamod Gilecaad dagaal ma u tagnaa mase waannu iska daynaa? Oo isna wuxuu ugu jawaabay, Tag, oo ku soo guulayso; oo Rabbiguna iyaduu soo gelin doonaa gacantaada, boqorow.
When Micaiah came to Ahab, Ahab asked him, “Micaiah, should we go to fight against [the people of] Ramoth, or not?” Micaiah replied, “Sure, go! Yahweh will enable your army to defeat them!”
16 Markaasaa boqorkii isagii ku yidhi, Runta mooyaane wax kale inaadan magaca Rabbiga iigu sheegayn intee jeer baan ku dhaariyaa?
But King Ahab [realized that Micaiah was (lying/being sarcastic), so he] said to Micaiah, “I have told you [RHQ] many times that you must always tell only the truth when you say what Yahweh [has revealed to you]!”
17 Oo isna wuxuu yidhi, Waxaan arkay dadka Israa'iil oo dhan oo buuraha ku kala firdhay sidii ido aan adhijir lahayn, oo Rabbigu wuxuu yidhi, Kuwanu sayid ma leh ee nin waluba gurigiisii ha ku nabad noqdo.
So Micaiah said to him, “[The truth is that] in a vision I saw all the troops of Israel scattered on the mountains. They seemed to be like sheep that did not have a shepherd. And Yahweh said, ‘Their master has been killed. So tell them all to go home peacefully.’”
18 Markaasaa boqorkii dalka Israa'iil Yehooshaafaad ku yidhi, Miyaanan kuu sheegin inuusan wax wanaagsan iga sii sheegayn wax shar ah mooyaane?
Ahab said to Jehoshaphat, “I told you [RHQ] that he never predicts [that] anything good [will happen to me]! He [always] predicts [that] bad things [will happen to me].”
19 Markaasuu Miikayhuu yidhi, Haddaba erayga Rabbiga maqal, Waxaan arkay Rabbiga oo carshigiisa ku fadhiya oo ciidankii samada oo dhammuna taagan yihiin midigtiisa iyo bidixdiisa.
But Micaiah continued, saying, “Listen to what Yahweh showed to me! [In a vision] I saw Yahweh sitting on his throne, with all the armies of heaven surrounding him, on his right side and on his left side.
20 Markaasaa Rabbigu yidhi, Kumaa Axaab soo sasabaya inuu Raamod Gilecaad tago oo halkaas ku dhinto? Oo mid sidanuu yidhi, mid kalena sidaasuu yidhi.
And Yahweh said, ‘Who can persuade Ahab to go to fight against the people of Ramoth, in order that he may be killed there?’ Some suggested one thing, and others suggested something else.
21 Markaasaa ruux soo baxay, oo Rabbiga hortiisa istaagay oo yidhi, Anigaa soo sasabaya.
Finally one [evil] spirit came to Yahweh and said, ‘I can do it!’
22 Kolkaasaa Rabbigu ku yidhi, Sidee baad u soo sasabaysaa? Isna wuxuu yidhi, Anigu waan tegayaa oo waxaan noqonayaa ruux beenlow ah oo afka nebiyadiisa oo dhan ku jira. Oo Rabbigu wuxuu yidhi, Adigu waad sasabi doontaa oo weliba waad ka adkaan doontaa, haddaba tag oo saas yeel.
Yahweh asked him, ‘How will you do it?’ The spirit replied, ‘I will go and inspire all of Ahab’s prophets to tell lies.’ Yahweh said, ‘You will be successful; go and do it!’
23 Haddaba bal eeg, Rabbigu afka nebiyadaadan oo dhan wuxuu geliyey ruux beenlow ah, oo Rabbigu wuxuu kaa sheegay wax belaayo ah.
So now [I tell you that] Yahweh has caused all of your prophets to lie to you. Yahweh has decided that something terrible will happen to you.”
24 Markaasaa Sidqiyaah ina Kenacanaah intuu Miikayhuu u soo dhowaaday dhabanka ku dhuftay, oo wuxuu ku yidhi, War ruuxii Rabbigu xaggee buu iga maray inuu kula hadlo?
Then Zedekiah walked over to Micaiah and slapped him on his face. He said, “Do you think that Yahweh’s Spirit left me in order to speak to you?” [RHQ]
25 Kolkaasaa Miikayhuu ku yidhi, Waad arki doontaa maalinta aad qol hoose u geli doonto inaad ku dhuumato.
Micaiah replied, “You will find out for yourself [which of us Yahweh’s Spirit has truly spoken to] on the day when you go into a room of some house to hide [from the Syrian troops]!”
26 Markaasaa boqorkii dalka Israa'iil yidhi, Miikayhuu qabta oo u celiya Aamoon oo ah taliyaha magaalada, iyo Yoo'aash oo ah ina boqor;
King Ahab commanded [his soldiers], “Seize Micaiah and take him to Amon, the governor of this city, and to my son Joash.
27 oo waxaad ku tidhaahdaan, Boqorkii wuxuu leeyahay, Ninkan xabsiga geliya, oo waxaad ku quudisaan kibis dhib ah, oo waxaad ka waraabisaan biyo dhib ah, ilaa aan soo nabad noqdo.
Tell them that I have commanded that they should put this man in prison and give him only bread and water. Do not give him anything else to eat until I return safely from the battle!”
28 Markaasaa Miikayhuu ku yidhi, Sinaba haddaad ku soo nabad noqotid, Rabbigu igama dhex hadlin. Oo wuxuu kaloo yidhi, Dadkoo dhammow, maqla.
Micaiah replied, “If you return safely, [it will be clear that] it was not Yahweh who told me what to say to you!” Then he said [to all those who were standing there], “Do not forget what I have said [to King Ahab]!”
29 Markaasay boqorkii dalka Israa'iil iyo Yehooshaafaad oo ahaa boqorkii dalka Yahuudah Raamod Gilecaad u kaceen.
So the King of Israel and the King of Judah [led their armies] to Ramoth, in [the] Gilead [region].
30 Oo boqorkii dalka Israa'iil wuxuu Yehooshaafaad ku yidhi, Anigu waan ismidab qarinayaa, oo dagaalkaan dhex gelayaa; laakiinse adigu dharkaaga xidho. Oo boqorkii dalka Israa'iil wuu ismidab qariyey oo dagaalkuu dhex galay.
King Ahab said to Jehoshaphat, “I will put on different clothes, [in order that no one will recognize that I am the king]. But you should wear your (royal robe/robe that shows that you are a king).” So Ahab disguised himself, and they both went into the battle.
31 Haddaba boqorkii dalka Suuriya wuxuu amray laba iyo soddonkii sirkaal oo u taliyey gaadhifardoodkiisa, oo ku yidhi, Mid weyn iyo mid yar toona ha la diririna boqorka dalka Israa'iil oo keliya mooyaane.
The King of Syria told this to his thirty-two men who were driving the chariots: “Attack only the king of Israel!”
32 Oo markii saraakiishii gaadhifardoodku ay Yehooshaafaad arkeen ayay isyidhaahdeen, Hubaal kanu waa boqorkii dalka Israa'iil, markaasay ku leexdeen inay la diriraan aawadeed; kolkaasaa Yehooshaafaad qayliyey.
So when the men who were driving the Syrian chariots saw Jehoshaphat [wearing (his royal robes/clothes that showed he was the king)], they pursued him. They shouted, “There is the king of Israel!” But when Jehoshaphat cried out,
33 Oo markii saraakiishii gaadhifardoodku ay arkeen inuusan ahayn boqorkii dalka Israa'iil ayay dib uga noqdeen.
they realized that he was not the king of Israel. So they stopped pursuing him.
34 Oo nin baa intuu qaansadiisii xooday kama' ahaan fallaadh u ganay, oo wuxuu boqorkii dalka Israa'iil kaga dhuftay meesha dharkiisa dagaalku isaga yimaadeen. Markaasuu boqorku kii gaadhifaraskiisa kaxaynayay ku yidhi, Gacantaada leexi, oo ciidanka iga dhex bixi, waayo, aad baan u dhaawacmay.
But one [Syrian] soldier shot an arrow at Ahab, without knowing that it was Ahab. The arrow struck Ahab between the places where the parts of his armor joined together. Ahab told the driver of his chariot, “Turn the chariot around and take me out of here! I have been severely wounded!”
35 Oo maalintaas dagaalkii waa sii kordhay, oo boqorkiina gaadhifaraskiisii ayaa la dhex taagay, isagoo ka hor jeeda dadkii Suuriya, oo wuxuu dhintay makhribkii, oo dhiiggii dhaawaca ka baxay wuxuu iska dareerayay gaadhifaraska salkiisa.
The battle continued all the day. Ahab was sitting propped up in his chariot, facing the Syrian troops. The blood from his wound ran down to the floor of the chariot. And late in the afternoon he died.
36 Oo markii qorraxdu sii dhacaysay ayaa qaylo ka dhex baxday ciidankii oo dhan, oo waxay lahaayeen, War nin waluba ha tago magaaladiisii iyo waddankiisiiba.
Just as the sun was going down, someone among the Israeli troops shouted, “[The battle is ended!] Everyone should return home!”
37 Oo sidaasuu boqorkii u dhintay, oo waxaa la keenay Samaariya, oo waxaana boqorkii lagu aasay Samaariya.
So king Ahab died, and they took his body [in the chariot] to Samaria [city] and buried his body there.
38 Oo gaadhifaraskii waxaa lagu maydhay balligii Samaariya agtiisa, oo dhiiggiisiina eeyahaa leefleefay, oo waxay noqotay siduu ahaa eraygii Rabbigu ku hadlay. (Haddaba dhillooyinkii halkaasay isku maydheen.)
They washed his chariot alongside the pool in Samaria, a pool where the prostitutes bathed. And dogs [came and] licked the king’s blood, just like Yahweh had predicted would happen.
39 Haddaba Axaab falimihiisii kale iyo wixii uu sameeyey oo dhan, iyo gurigii uu dhisay oo foolka maroodiga ahaa, iyo magaalooyinkii uu dhisay oo dhammuba sow kuma wada qorna kitaabkii taariikhda boqorradii dalka Israa'iil?
The account/record of the other things that happened while Ahab was ruling, and about the palace decorated with much ivory [that they built for him], and the cities that were built for him, was written in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Israel’.
40 Markaasuu Axaab dhintay oo la seexday awowayaashiis, oo wiilkiisii Axasyaah ayaa meeshiisii boqor ka noqday.
When Ahab died, his body was buried where his ancestors were buried. Then his son Ahaziah became king.
41 Oo Yehooshaafaad ina Aasaa wuxuu boqor ka noqday dalka Yahuudah boqorkii dalka Israa'iil oo Axaab ahaa sannaddiisii afraad.
Before King Ahab died, when he had been ruling in Israel for four years, Asa’s son Jehoshaphat started to rule in Judah.
42 Oo Yehooshaafaad markuu boqor noqday wuxuu jiray shan iyo soddon sannadood. Oo Yeruusaalemna shan iyo labaatan sannadood boqor buu ku ahaa, oo hooyadiis magaceedana waxaa la odhan jiray Casuubaah ina Shilxii.
Jehoshaphat was thirty-five years old when he started to rule, and he ruled in Jerusalem for twenty-five years. His mother was Azubah, the daughter of Shilhi.
43 Oo wuxuu ku socday jidkii aabbihiis Aasaa ku socday oo dhan, oo geesna ugama uu leexan, oo wixii Rabbiga hortiisa ku qummanaa ayuu sameeyey. Habase yeeshee meelihii sarsare lama baabbi'in, oo dadkuna weli way ku allabaryi jireen, fooxna way ku shidi jireen meelihii sare.
Jehoshaphat was a good king, just like his father Asa had been. He did things that pleased Yahweh. But while he was king, he did not remove all the pagan altars [that the people had built] on the hilltops. So the people continued to offer sacrifices [to idols] on those altars and burned incense there.
44 Oo Yehooshaafaadna nabad buu la dhigtay boqorkii dalka Israa'iil.
Jehoshaphat also made [a] peace [agreement] with the king of Israel.
45 Haddaba Yehooshaafaad falimihiisii kale, iyo xooggiisii uu muujiyey, iyo sidii uu u dagaallamayba sow kuma qorna kitaabkii taariikhda boqorradii dalka Yahuudah?
All the other things that happened while Jehoshaphat was ruling, and the great things that he did and the victories his [troops] won, are written in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Judah’.
46 Oo makhnuudyadii intii wakhtigii aabbihiis Aasaa ka hadhayna dalka wuu ka wada eryay.
Jehoshaphat’s father Asa [had tried to expel] the male prostitutes that stayed at the pagan shrines, but some of them were still there. Jehoshaphat got rid of them.
47 Oo Edomna boqor ma lahayn, laakiinse waxaa u talin jiray boqor-ku-xigeen.
At that time, there was no king in Edom; a ruler who had been appointed by Jehoshaphat ruled there.
48 Oo Yehooshaafaadna wuxuu samaystay doonniyo Tarshiish inay Oofir tagaan oo dahab u doonaan aawadeed, laakiinse halkaas ma ay tegin, maxaa yeelay, doonniyihii waxay ku burbureen Cesyoon Geber agteeda.
Jehoshaphat [ordered some Israeli men to] build a fleet/group of ships to sail [south] to [the] Ophir [region] to get gold. But they were wrecked at Ezion-Geber/Elath, so the ships never sailed.
49 Markaasaa Axasyaah oo ahaa ina Axaab ayaa Yehooshaafaad ku yidhi, Addoommadaydu addoommadaada doonniyaha ha la raaceen, laakiinse Yehooshaafaad wuu diiday taas.
Before the ships were wrecked, Ahab’s son Ahaziah suggested to Jehoshaphat, “Allow my sailors to go with your sailors,” but Jehoshaphat refused.
50 Oo Yehooshaafaadna wuu dhintay oo la seexday awowayaashiis, oo waxaa awowayaashiis lagula aasay magaaladii awowgiis Daa'uud; oo meeshiisiina waxaa boqor ka noqday wiilkiisii Yehooraam.
When Jehoshaphat died, his [body] was buried where his ancestors were buried in [Jerusalem, ] the city where King David [had ruled]. Then Jehoshaphat’s son Jehoram became king.
51 Oo Axasyaah oo ahaa ina Axaab wuxuu dalka Israa'iil Samaariya boqor ugu noqday sannaddii toddoba iyo tobnaad oo Yehooshaafaad boqorkii dalka Yahuudah, oo laba sannadood buu dalka Israa'iil boqor ka ahaa.
Before King Jehoshaphat died, when he had been ruling in Judah for 17 years, Ahab’s son Ahaziah began to rule in Israel. Ahaziah ruled in Samaria for two years.
52 Oo isna wuxuu sameeyey waxa Rabbiga hortiisa shar ku ah, oo wuxuu ku socday jidkii aabbihiis maray, iyo jidkii hooyadiis martay, iyo jidkii Yaaraabcaam ina Nebaad maray, ee uu dadkii Israa'iil dembaajiyey.
He did many things that Yahweh considered to be evil, doing the [evil] things that his father and mother had done and the evil things that Jeroboam had done—the king who had led all the Israeli people to sin [by worshiping idols].
53 Oo isna wuxuu u adeegay Bacal, wuuna caabuday isagii, oo weliba Rabbiga ah Ilaaha reer binu Israa'iilna wuu ka xanaajiyey, sidii aabbihiis sameeyey oo kale.
Ahaziah bowed in front of Baal’s idol and worshiped it. That caused Yahweh, the God who was the true God of the Israeli people, to become very angry, just as Ahaziah’s father had caused Yahweh to become angry.
