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 assembled all his host together: and thirty and two kings were with him, and horses, and chariots; and he went up and besieged Samaria, and made war 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 Achab the king of Israel into the city;
3 ‘Fàdákà àti wúrà rẹ tèmi ni, àti àwọn tí ó dára jùlọ nínú àwọn aya rẹ àti àwọn ọmọ rẹ tèmi ni wọ́n.’”
And he said unto him, Thus hath said Ben-hadad, Thy silver and thy gold are mine; thy wives also and thy children, even the best, 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, According to thy word, my Lord, O king, thine am I, 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 returned, and said, Thus hath said Ben-hadad, to say [to thee], I have indeed sent unto thee, saying, Thou shalt give unto 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.’”
Nevertheless, about this time tomorrow will I send my servants unto thee, and they shall search through thy house, and the houses of thy servants; and it shall be, that whatsoever is pleasant in thy eyes, they shall place 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 did the king of Israel call for all the elders of the land, and said, Mark, I pray you, and see that this man seeketh mischief; for he hath sent unto me for my wives, and for my children, and for my silver, and for my gold, and I have not refused them to him.
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, Thou must not hearken, 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, Say to my lord the king, all that thou didst send for to thy servant at the first will I do; but this thing I am not able to do. And the messengers went away, 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 then sent unto him, and said, May the gods do so unto me, and continue to do so, if the dust of Samaria shall suffice for handfuls for all the people that are in my train.
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, Speak, Let him that girdeth on the armor not 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 he heard this message, as he was drinking, he and the kings in the pavilions, that he said unto his servants, Get ready for the attack. And they got ready for the attack 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 approached a certain prophet unto Achab the king of Israel, and said, Thus hath said the Lord, Hast thou seen all this great multitude? behold, I will deliver it into thy 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 Achab said, By whom? And he said, Thus hath said the Lord, By means of the young men of the princes of the provinces. Then said he, Who shall order the battle? And he said, 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.
He then 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, all the children of Israel, seven thousand strong.
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 midday; while 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 at first; and Ben-hadad sent out, and they told him, saying, Some men are 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, If they be come out for peace, catch them alive; and if they be come out for war, alive must ye catch them.
19 Àwọn ìjòyè kéékèèké wọ̀nyí ti àwọn ìjòyè ìgbèríko jáde ti ìlú wá, àti ogun tí ó tẹ̀lé wọn.
So these, the young men of the princes of the provinces, came out of the city, with 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 a 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 inflicted on the Syrians a great defeat.
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 approached unto the king of Israel, and said unto him, Go, strengthen thyself, and mark, and see what thou hast to do; 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, Gods of the mountains are their gods; therefore they prevailed over us; but let us fight against them in the plain, [and see] whether we shall not prevail over them.
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.
But do this thing, Remove the kings, every one from his place, and appoint governors 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 thou, number for thyself 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 see] whether we shall prevail over them. 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 the war with 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 provisioned, and went [out] against them: and the children of Israel encamped opposite to them like two little flocks of goats; 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 approached the man of God, and spoke unto the king of Israel, and said, Thus hath said the Lord, Forasmuch as the Syrians have said, “A God of the hills is the Lord, but he is not God of the valleys”: will I deliver all this great multitude into thy 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 encamped one opposite the other for seven days. And it happened, that on the seventh day the battle took place: and the children of Israel smote the Syrians a hundred thousand men on foot 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 those that were left fled to Aphek, into the city; but the city-wall fell upon the twenty and seven thousand men that had been left. And Ben-hadad fled, and came into the city, into an innermost 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 kindly kings; let us, we pray thee, put sackcloth on our loins, and ropes upon our heads, and go out to the king of Israel; peradventure he may 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 ropes on their heads, and came to the king of Israel, and said, Thy servant Ben-hadad hath said, 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 took it for a good sign, and hastened and caught at his word, whether it was his earnest; and they said, Thy brother Ben-hadad! But he said, Go ye, bring him. Then came Ben-hadad 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 he said unto him, The cities, which my father took from thy father, will I restore; and thou canst lay out for thyself streets in Damascus, as my father laid out in Samaria. “And I for my part 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 companion, By the word of the Lord, smite me, I pray thee. But 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, Forasmuch as thou hast not obeyed the voice of the Lord, behold, when thou goest away from me, a lion shall slay thee. And he went away from him, when 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 met with another man, and said, Smite me, I pray thee. And the man smote him, smiting and wounding [him].
38 Wòlíì náà sì lọ, ó sì dúró de ọba ní ojú ọ̀nà. Ó pa ara rẹ̀ dà ní fífi eérú bo ojú.
And the prophet then went, and placed himself before the king on the way, and disguised himself with a bandage over his eyes.
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 said, Thy servant went out into the midst of the battle; and, behold, a man turned aside, and brought unto me a man, and said, Guard this man; if by any means he be missing, then shall thy life be [forfeit] for his life, or else thou shalt weigh me down 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.”
But it happened as thy servant was Busy here and there, that he was gone. And the king of Israel said unto him, So is thy sentence: thou 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 hastened, and removed the bandage from his eyes; and the king of Israel recognized him that he was one 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 hath said the Lord, Because thou hast let go out of thy hand the man whom I had caught in my net, therefore shall thy life be the forfeit 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 low-spirited and displeased, and he came to Samaria.
