1 Kings 20
1 Beni-Hadadi ọba Aramu sì gbá gbogbo ogun rẹ̀ jọ. Ọba méjìlélọ́gbọ̀n sì ń bẹ pẹ̀lú rẹ̀ àti ẹṣin àti kẹ̀kẹ́, ó sì gòkè lọ, ó sì dó ti Samaria, ó sì kọlù ú.
AND Ben-hadad the king of Syria gathered all his host together: and there were thirty and two kings with him, and horses, and chariots: and he went up and besieged Samaria, and warred against it.
2 Ó sì rán àwọn ìránṣẹ́ sí ìlú sí Ahabu ọba Israẹli wí pé, “Báyìí ni Beni-Hadadi wí,
And he sent messengers to Ahab king of Israel into the city, and said unto him, Thus saith Ben-hadad,
3 ‘Fàdákà àti wúrà rẹ tèmi ni, àti àwọn tí ó dára jùlọ nínú àwọn aya rẹ àti àwọn ọmọ rẹ tèmi ni wọ́n.’”
Thy silver and thy gold is mine; thy wives also and thy children, even the goodliest, are mine.
4 Ọba Israẹli sì dá a lóhùn pé, “Gẹ́gẹ́ bí ìwọ ṣe wí olúwa mi ọba, èmi àti ohun gbogbo tí mo ní tìrẹ ni.”
And the king of Israel answered and said, My lord, O king, according to thy saying, I am thine, and all that I have.
5 Àwọn oníṣẹ́ náà sì tún padà wá, wọ́n sì wí pé, “Báyìí ni Beni-Hadadi sọ wí pé, ‘Mo ránṣẹ́ láti béèrè fún fàdákà rẹ àti wúrà rẹ, àwọn aya rẹ àti àwọn ọmọ rẹ.
And the messengers came again, and said, Thus speaketh Ben-hadad, saying, Although I have sent unto thee, saying, Thou shalt deliver me thy silver, and thy gold, and thy wives, and thy children;
6 Ṣùgbọ́n ní ìwòyí ọ̀la, èmi yóò rán àwọn ìránṣẹ́ mi sí ọ láti wá ilé rẹ wò àti ilé àwọn ìránṣẹ́ rẹ. Wọn yóò gba gbogbo ohun tí ó bá dára lójú rẹ, wọn yóò sì kó o lọ.’”
Yet I will send my servants unto thee to morrow about this time, and they shall search thine house, and the houses of thy servants; and it shall be, that whatsoever is pleasant in thine eyes, they shall put it in their hand, and take it away.
7 Nígbà náà ni ọba Israẹli pe gbogbo àwọn àgbàgbà ìlú, ó sì wí fún wọn pé, “Ẹ wo bí ọkùnrin yìí ti ń fẹ́ ìyọnu! Nígbà tí ó ránṣẹ́ fún àwọn aya mi, àti fún àwọn ọmọ mi, àti fún fàdákà mi, àti fún wúrà mi, èmi kò sì fi dù ú.”
Then the king of Israel called all the elders of the land, and said, Mark, I pray you, and see how this man seeketh mischief: for he sent unto me for my wives, and for my children, and for my silver, and for my gold; and I denied him not.
8 Àwọn àgbàgbà àti gbogbo ènìyàn dá a lóhùn pé, “Má ṣe fi etí sí tirẹ̀ tàbí kí ó gbà fún un.”
And all the elders and all the people said unto him, Hearken not unto him, nor consent.
9 Nígbà náà ni ó sọ fún àwọn oníṣẹ́ Beni-Hadadi pé, “Sọ fún olúwa mi ọba pé, ‘Ìránṣẹ́ rẹ̀ yóò ṣe ohun gbogbo tí ó ránṣẹ́ fún látètèkọ́ṣe, ṣùgbọ́n nǹkan yìí ni èmi kò le ṣe.’” Wọ́n padà lọ, wọ́n sì mú èsì padà wá fún Beni-Hadadi.
Wherefore he said unto the messengers of Ben-hadad, Tell my lord the king, All that thou didst send for to thy servant at the first I will do: but this thing I may not do. And the messengers departed, and brought him word again.
10 Beni-Hadadi sì tún rán oníṣẹ́ mìíràn sí Ahabu wí pé, “Kí àwọn òrìṣà kí ó ṣe bẹ́ẹ̀ sí mi àti jù bẹ́ẹ̀ lọ pẹ̀lú bí eruku Samaria yóò tó fún ìkúnwọ́ fún gbogbo ènìyàn tí ń tẹ̀lé mi.”
And Ben-hadad sent unto him, and said, The gods do so unto me, and more also, if the dust of Samaria shall suffice for handfuls for all the people that follow me.
11 Ọba Israẹli sì dáhùn wí pé, “Sọ fún un pé, ‘Má jẹ́ kí ẹni tí ń hámọ́ra halẹ̀ bí ẹni tí ń bọ́ ọ sílẹ̀.’”
And the king of Israel answered and said, Tell him, Let not him that girdeth on his harness boast himself as he that putteth it off.
12 Beni-Hadadi sì gbọ́ ọ̀rọ̀ yìí nígbà tí òun àti àwọn ọba ń mu ọtí nínú àgọ́ wọn, ó sì pàṣẹ fún àwọn ìránṣẹ́ rẹ̀ wí pé, “Ẹ ṣígun sí ìlú náà.” Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni wọ́n sì ṣe tan láti kọlu ìlú náà.
And it came to pass, when Ben-hadad heard this message, as he was drinking, he and the kings in the pavilions, that he said unto his servants, Set yourselves in array. And they set themselves in array against the city.
13 Sì kíyèsi i, wòlíì kan tọ Ahabu ọba Israẹli wá, ó sì wí pé, “Báyìí ni Olúwa wí: ‘Ìwọ rí gbogbo ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ ogun yìí? Èmi yóò fi wọ́n lé ọ lọ́wọ́ lónìí, nígbà náà ni ìwọ yóò mọ̀ pé Èmi ni Olúwa.’”
And, behold, there came a prophet unto Ahab king of Israel, saying, Thus saith the Lord, Hast thou seen all this great multitude? behold, I will deliver it into thine hand this day; and thou shalt know that I am the Lord.
14 Ahabu sì béèrè pé, “Ṣùgbọ́n ta ni yóò ṣe èyí?” Wòlíì náà sì dáhùn wí pé, “Èyí ni ohun tí Olúwa wí: ‘Nípa ìpẹ́ẹ̀rẹ̀ àwọn ìjòyè ìgbèríko.’” Nígbà náà ni ó wí pé. “Ta ni yóò bẹ̀rẹ̀ ogun náà?” Wòlíì sì dalóhùn pé, “Ìwọ ni yóò ṣe é.”
And Ahab said, By whom? And he said, Thus saith the Lord, Even by the young men of the princes of the provinces. Then he said, Who shall order the battle? And he answered, Thou.
15 Nígbà náà ni Ahabu ka àwọn ìjòyè kéékèèké ìgbèríko, wọ́n sì jẹ́ igba ó lé méjìlélọ́gbọ̀n. Nígbà náà ni ó sì kó gbogbo àwọn ọmọ Israẹli tókù jọ, gbogbo wọn sì jẹ́ ẹ̀ẹ́dẹ́gbàárin.
Then he numbered the young men of the princes of the provinces, and they were two hundred and thirty two: and after them he numbered all the people, even all the children of Israel, being seven thousand.
16 Wọ́n sì jáde lọ ní ọ̀sán gangan, nígbà tí Beni-Hadadi àti àwọn ọba méjìlélọ́gbọ̀n tí ń ràn án lọ́wọ́ ń mu àmupara nínú àgọ́.
And they went out at noon. But Ben-hadad was drinking himself drunk in the pavilions, he and the kings, the thirty and two kings that helped him.
17 Àwọn ìjòyè kéékèèké ìgbèríko tètè kọ́ jáde lọ. Beni-Hadadi sì ránṣẹ́ jáde, wọ́n sì sọ fún un wí pé, “Àwọn ọkùnrin ń ti Samaria jáde wá.”
And the young men of the princes of the provinces went out first; and Ben-hadad sent out, and they told him, saying, There are men come out of Samaria.
18 Ó sì wí pé, “Bí wọ́n bá bá ti àlàáfíà jáde wá, ẹ mú wọn láààyè; bí ti ogun ni wọ́n bá bá jáde, ẹ mú wọn láààyè.”
And he said, Whether they be come out for peace, take them alive; or whether they be come out for war, take them alive.
19 Àwọn ìjòyè kéékèèké wọ̀nyí ti àwọn ìjòyè ìgbèríko jáde ti ìlú wá, àti ogun tí ó tẹ̀lé wọn.
So these young men of the princes of the provinces came out of the city, and the army which followed them.
20 Olúkúlùkù sì pa ọkùnrin kọ̀ọ̀kan. Àwọn ará Aramu sì sá, Israẹli sì lépa wọn. Ṣùgbọ́n Beni-Hadadi ọba Aramu sì sálà lórí ẹṣin pẹ̀lú àwọn ẹlẹ́ṣin.
And they slew every one his man: and the Syrians fled; and Israel pursued them: and Ben-hadad the king of Syria escaped on an horse with the horsemen.
21 Ọba Israẹli sì jáde lọ, ó sì kọlu àwọn ẹṣin àti kẹ̀kẹ́, ó pa àwọn ará Aramu ní ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀.
And the king of Israel went out, and smote the horses and chariots, and slew the Syrians with a great slaughter.
22 Lẹ́yìn náà, wòlíì náà sì wá sọ́dọ̀ ọba Israẹli, ó sì wí pé, “Lọ, mú ara rẹ gírí, kí o sì mọ̀, kí o sì wo ohun tí ìwọ yóò ṣe, nítorí ní àmọ́dún ọba Aramu yóò tún gòkè tọ̀ ọ́ wá.”
And the prophet came to the king of Israel, and said unto him, Go, strengthen thyself, and mark, and see what thou doest: for at the return of the year the king of Syria will come up against thee.
23 Àwọn ìránṣẹ́ ọba Aramu sì wí fún un pé, “Ọlọ́run wọn, ọlọ́run òkè ni. Ìdí nìyìí tí wọ́n ṣe ní agbára jù wá lọ. Ṣùgbọ́n bí a bá bá wọn jà ní pẹ̀tẹ́lẹ̀, àwa yóò ní agbára jù wọ́n lọ dájúdájú.
And the servants of the king of Syria said unto him, Their gods are gods of the hills; therefore they were stronger than we; but let us fight against them in the plain, and surely we shall be stronger than they.
24 Nǹkan yìí ni kí o sì ṣe, mú àwọn ọba kúrò, olúkúlùkù kúrò ní ipò rẹ̀, kí o sì fi baálẹ̀ sí ipò wọn.
And do this thing, Take the kings away, every man out of his place, and put captains in their rooms:
25 Kí o sì tún kó ogun jọ fún ara rẹ bí èyí tí ó ti sọnù; ẹṣin fún ẹṣin, kẹ̀kẹ́ fún kẹ̀kẹ́; kí a bá lè bá Israẹli jà ní pẹ̀tẹ́lẹ̀. Nítòótọ́ àwa yóò ní agbára jù wọ́n lọ.” Ó sì gba tiwọn, ó sì ṣe bẹ́ẹ̀.
And number thee an army, like the army that thou hast lost, horse for horse, and chariot for chariot: and we will fight against them in the plain, and surely we shall be stronger than they. And he hearkened unto their voice, and did so.
26 Ó sì ṣe ní àmọ́dún, Beni-Hadadi ka iye àwọn ará Aramu, ó sì gòkè lọ sí Afeki, láti bá Israẹli jagun.
And it came to pass at the return of the year, that Ben-hadad numbered the Syrians, and went up to Aphek, to fight against Israel.
27 Nígbà tí a sì ka àwọn ọmọ Israẹli, wọ́n sì pèsè oúnjẹ, wọ́n sì lọ pàdé wọn. Àwọn ọmọ Israẹli sì dó ní òdìkejì wọn gẹ́gẹ́ bí agbo ọmọ ewúrẹ́ kékeré méjì, nígbà tí àwọn ará Aramu kún ilẹ̀ náà.
And the children of Israel were numbered, and were all present, and went against them: and the children of Israel pitched before them like two little flocks of kids; but the Syrians filled the country.
28 Ènìyàn Ọlọ́run kan sì gòkè wá, ó sì sọ fún ọba Israẹli pé, “Báyìí ni Olúwa wí: ‘Nítorí tí àwọn ará Aramu rò pé Olúwa, Ọlọ́run òkè ni, ṣùgbọ́n òun kì í ṣe Ọlọ́run àfonífojì, nítorí náà èmi ó fi gbogbo ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ ènìyàn yìí lé ọ lọ́wọ́, ẹ̀yin yóò sì mọ̀ pé, Èmi ni Olúwa.’”
And there came a man of God, and spake unto the king of Israel, and said, Thus saith the Lord, Because the Syrians have said, The Lord is God of the hills, but he is not God of the valleys, therefore will I deliver all this great multitude into thine hand, and ye shall know that I am the Lord.
29 Wọ́n sì dó sí òdìkejì ara wọn fún ọjọ́ méje, àti ní ọjọ́ keje, wọ́n pàdé ogun. Àwọn ọmọ Israẹli sì pa ọ̀kẹ́ márùn-ún ẹlẹ́ṣẹ̀ nínú àwọn ará Aramu ní ọjọ́ kan.
And they pitched one over against the other seven days. And so it was, that in the seventh day the battle was joined: and the children of Israel slew of the Syrians an hundred thousand footmen in one day.
30 Àwọn tókù sì sá àsálà lọ sí Afeki, sínú ìlú tí odi ti wó lù ẹgbàá mẹ́tàlá lé ẹgbẹ̀rún nínú wọn. Beni-Hadadi sì sálọ sínú ìlú, ó sì fi ara pamọ́ sínú ìyẹ̀wù.
But the rest fled to Aphek, into the city; and there a wall fell upon twenty and seven thousand of the men that were left. And Ben-hadad fled, and came into the city, into an inner chamber.
31 Àwọn ìránṣẹ́ rẹ̀ sì wí fún un pé, “Wò ó, a ti gbọ́ pé àwọn ọba ilẹ̀ Israẹli jẹ́ ọba aláàánú, mo bẹ̀ ọ́ jẹ́ kí àwa kí ó tọ̀ ọ́ lọ pẹ̀lú aṣọ ọ̀fọ̀ ní ẹ̀gbẹ́ wa, àti okùn yí orí wa ká. Bóyá òun yóò gba ẹ̀mí rẹ là.”
And his servants said unto him, Behold now, we have heard that the kings of the house of Israel are merciful kings: let us, I pray thee, put sackcloth on our loins, and ropes upon our heads, and go out to the king of Israel: peradventure he will save thy life.
32 Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni wọ́n di aṣọ ọ̀fọ̀ mọ́ ẹ̀gbẹ́ wọn, wọ́n sì fi okùn yí orí wọn ká, wọ́n sì tọ ọba Israẹli wá, wọ́n sì wí pé, “Ìránṣẹ́ rẹ Beni-Hadadi wí pé, ‘Èmi bẹ̀ ọ́ jẹ́ kí èmi kí ó yè.’” Ọba sì dáhùn wí pé, “Ó ń bẹ láààyè bí? Arákùnrin mi ni òun.”
So they girded sackcloth on their loins, and put ropes on their heads, and came to the king of Israel, and said, Thy servant Ben-hadad saith, I pray thee, let me live. And he said, Is he yet alive? he is my brother.
33 Àwọn ọkùnrin náà sì ṣe àkíyèsí gidigidi, wọ́n sì yára gbá ọ̀rọ̀ rẹ̀ mú, wọ́n sì wí pé, “Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni, Beni-Hadadi arákùnrin rẹ.” Ọba sì wí pé, “Ẹ lọ mú u wá.” Nígbà tí Beni-Hadadi jáde tọ̀ ọ́ wá, Ahabu sì mú u gòkè wá sínú kẹ̀kẹ́.
Now the men did diligently observe whether any thing would come from him, and did hastily catch it: and they said, Thy brother Ben-hadad. Then he said, Go ye, bring him. Then Ben-hadad came forth to him; and he caused him to come up into the chariot.
34 Beni-Hadadi sì wí pé, “Èmi yóò dá àwọn ìlú tí baba mi ti gbà lọ́wọ́ baba rẹ padà, ìwọ sì le la ọ̀nà fún ara rẹ ní Damasku, bí baba mi ti ṣe ní Samaria.” Ahabu sì wí pé, “Èmi yóò rán ọ lọ pẹ̀lú májẹ̀mú yìí.” Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ó ba dá májẹ̀mú, ó sì rán an lọ.
And Ben-hadad said unto him, The cities, which my father took from thy father, I will restore; and thou shalt make streets for thee in Damascus, as my father made in Samaria. Then said Ahab, I will send thee away with this covenant. So he made a covenant with him, and sent him away.
35 Nípa ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa, ọkùnrin kan nínú àwọn ọmọ àwọn wòlíì sì wí fún èkejì rẹ̀ pé, “Jọ̀ ọ́, lù mí,” ṣùgbọ́n ó kọ̀ láti lù ú.
And a certain man of the sons of the prophets said unto his neighbour in the word of the Lord, Smite me, I pray thee. And the man refused to smite him.
36 Nígbà náà ni ó wí pé, “Nítorí tí ìwọ kò gba ohùn Olúwa gbọ́, kíyèsi i, bí ìwọ bá kúrò ní ọ̀dọ̀ mi, kìnnìún yóò pa ọ́.” Bí ó ti jáde lọ kúrò lọ́dọ̀ rẹ̀, kìnnìún kan rí i, ó sì pa á.
Then said he unto him, Because thou hast not obeyed the voice of the Lord, behold, as soon as thou art departed from me, a lion shall slay thee. And as soon as he was departed from him, a lion found him, and slew him.
37 Wòlíì náà sì rí ọkùnrin mìíràn, ó sì wí fún un pé, “Jọ̀ ọ́, lù mí.” Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ọkùnrin náà sì lù ú, ó sì pa á lára.
Then he found another man, and said, Smite me, I pray thee. And the man smote him, so that in smiting he wounded him.
38 Wòlíì náà sì lọ, ó sì dúró de ọba ní ojú ọ̀nà. Ó pa ara rẹ̀ dà ní fífi eérú bo ojú.
So the prophet departed, and waited for the king by the way, and disguised himself with ashes upon his face.
39 Bí ọba sì ti ń rékọjá, wòlíì náà ké sí i, ó sì wí pé, “Ìránṣẹ́ rẹ jáde wọ àárín ogun lọ, ẹnìkan sì wá sí ọ̀dọ̀ mi pẹ̀lú ìgbèkùn kan, ó sì wí pé, ‘Pa ọkùnrin yìí mọ́. Bí a bá fẹ́ ẹ kù, ẹ̀mí rẹ yóò lọ dípò ẹ̀mí rẹ̀, tàbí kí ìwọ san tálẹ́ǹtì fàdákà kan.’
And as the king passed by, he cried unto the king: and he said, Thy servant went out into the midst of the battle; and, behold, a man turned aside, and brought a man unto me, and said, Keep this man: if by any means he be missing, then shall thy life be for his life, or else thou shalt pay a talent of silver.
40 Nígbà tí ìránṣẹ́ rẹ̀ sì ní ìṣe níhìn-ín àti lọ́hùn ún, a fẹ́ ẹ kù.” Ọba Israẹli sì wí fún un pé, “Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ìdájọ́ rẹ yóò rí, ìwọ fúnra rẹ̀ ti dá a.”
And as thy servant was busy here and there, he was gone. And the king of Israel said unto him, So shall thy judgment be; thyself hast decided it.
41 Nígbà náà ni wòlíì náà yára, ó sì mú eérú kúrò ní ojú rẹ̀, ọba Israẹli sì mọ̀ ọ́n pé ọ̀kan nínú àwọn wòlíì ni ó ń ṣe.
And he hasted, and took the ashes away from his face; and the king of Israel discerned him that he was of the prophets.
42 Ó sì wí fún ọba pé, “Báyìí ni Olúwa wí: ‘Ìwọ ti jọ̀wọ́ ọkùnrin tí èmi ti yàn sí ìparun pátápátá lọ́wọ́ lọ. Nítorí náà, ẹ̀mí rẹ yóò lọ fún ẹ̀mí rẹ, ènìyàn rẹ fún ènìyàn rẹ̀.’”
And he said unto him, Thus saith the Lord, Because thou hast let go out of thy hand a man whom I appointed to utter destruction, therefore thy life shall go for his life, and thy people for his people.
43 Ọba Israẹli sì lọ sí ilé rẹ̀ ní wíwú gbọ́, inú rẹ sì bàjẹ́, ó sì wá sí Samaria.
And the king of Israel went to his house heavy and displeased, and came to Samaria.
