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 king of Aram hath gathered all his force, and thirty and two kings [are] with him, and horse and chariot, and he goeth up and layeth siege against Samaria, and fighteth with it,
2 Ó sì rán àwọn ìránṣẹ́ sí ìlú sí Ahabu ọba Israẹli wí pé, “Báyìí ni Beni-Hadadi wí,
and sendeth messengers unto Ahab king of Israel, to 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 saith to him, 'Thus said Ben-Hadad, 'Thy silver and thy gold are mine, and thy wives and thy sons — 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 answereth and saith, 'According to thy word, my lord, O king: 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 turn back and say, 'Thus spake Ben-Hadad, saying, Surely I sent unto thee, saying, Thy silver, and thy gold, and thy wives, and thy sons, to me thou dost give;
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.’”
for if, at this time to-morrow, I send my servants unto thee then they have searched thy house, and the houses of thy servants, and it hath been, every desirable thing of thine eyes they place in their hand, and have taken 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.”
And the king of Israel calleth to all the elders of the land, and saith, 'Know, I pray you, and see that evil this [one] is seeking, for he sent unto me for my wives, and for my sons, and for my silver, and for my gold, and I withheld not from 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 say unto him, 'Do 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.
And he saith to the messengers of Ben-Hadad, 'Say to my lord the king, All that thou didst send for unto thy servant at the first I do, and this thing I am not able to do;' and the messengers go and take him back word.
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 sendeth unto him, and saith, 'Thus do the gods to me, and thus do they add, if the dust of Samaria suffice for handfuls for all the people who [are] at my feet.'
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 answereth and saith, 'Speak ye: let not him who is girding on boast himself as him who is loosing [his armour].'
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 cometh to pass at the hearing of this word — and he is drinking, he and the kings, in the booths — that he saith unto his servants, 'Set yourselves;' and they set themselves 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 lo, a certain prophet hath come nigh unto Ahab king of Israel, and saith, 'Thus said Jehovah, 'Hast thou seen all this great multitude? lo, I am giving it into thy hand to-day, and thou hast known that I [am] Jehovah.'
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 saith, 'By whom?' and he saith, 'Thus said Jehovah, By the young men of the heads of the provinces;' and he saith, 'Who doth direct the battle?' and he saith, '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.
And he inspecteth the young men of the heads of the provinces, and they are two hundred, two and thirty, and after them he hath inspecteth the whole of the people, all the sons of Israel, 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 go out at noon, and Ben-Hadad is drinking — drunk in the booths, he and the kings, the thirty and two kings, helping 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 heads of the provinces go out at the first, and Ben-Hadad sendeth, and they declare to him, saying, 'Men have 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 saith, 'If for peace they have come out — catch them alive; and if for battle they have come out — alive catch them.'
19 Àwọn ìjòyè kéékèèké wọ̀nyí ti àwọn ìjòyè ìgbèríko jáde ti ìlú wá, àti ogun tí ó tẹ̀lé wọn.
And these have gone out of the city — the young men of the heads of the provinces — and the force that [is] after 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 smite each his man, and Aram fleeth, and Israel pursueth them, and Ben-Hadad king of Aram escapeth on a horse, and 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 goeth out, and smiteth the horses, and the charioteers, and hath smitten among the Aramaeans a great smiting.
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 cometh nigh unto the king of Israel, and saith to him, 'Go, strengthen thyself, and know and see that which thou dost, for at the turn of the year the king of Aram is coming 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 Aram said unto him, 'Gods of hills [are] their gods, therefore they were stronger than we; and yet, we fight with them in the plain — are we not 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 this thing do thou: turn aside the kings each out of his place, and set captains in their stead;
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 to thee a force as the force that is fallen from thee, and horse for horse, and chariot for chariot, and we fight with them in the plain; are we not stronger than they?' and he hearkeneth to their voice, and doth 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 cometh to pass at the turn of the year, that Ben-Hadad inspecteth the Aramaeans, and goeth up to Aphek, to battle 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 sons of Israel have been inspected, and supported, and go to meet them, and the sons of Israel encamp before them, like two flocks of goats, and the Aramaeans have filled the land.
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 cometh nigh a man of God, and speaketh unto the king of Israel, and saith, 'Thus said Jehovah, Because that the Aramaeans have said, God of hills [is] Jehovah, and He [is] not God of valleys — I have given the whole of this great multitude into thy hand, and ye have known that I [am] Jehovah.'
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 encamp one over-against another seven days, and it cometh to pass on the seventh day, that the battle draweth near, and the sons of Israel smite Aram — a 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.
And those left flee to Aphek, unto the city, and the wall falleth on twenty and seven chief men who are left, and Ben-Hadad hath fled, and cometh in unto the city, into the innermost part.
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 say unto him, 'Lo, we pray thee, we have heard that the kings of the house of Israel — that they are kind kings; let us put, we pray thee, sackcloth on our loins, and ropes on our heads, and we go out unto the king of Israel; it may be he doth keep thee alive.'
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.”
And they gird sackcloth on their loins, and ropes [are] on their heads, and they come in unto the king of Israel, and say, 'Thy servant Ben-Hadad hath said, Let me live, I pray thee;' and he saith, '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.
And the men observe diligently, and hasten, and catch it from him, and say, 'Thy brother Ben-Hadad;' and he saith, 'Go ye in, bring him;' and Ben-Hadad cometh out unto him, and he causeth him to come up on 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 saith unto him, 'The cities that my father took from thy father, I give back, and streets thou dost make for thee in Damascus, as my father did in Samaria;' — 'and I, with a covenant, send thee away;' and he maketh with him a covenant, and sendeth 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 by the word of Jehovah, 'Smite me, I pray thee;' and the man refuseth 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.
and he saith to him, 'Because that thou hast not hearkened to the voice of Jehovah, lo, thou art going from me, and the lion hath smitten thee;' and he goeth from him, and the lion findeth him, and smiteth 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.
And he findeth another man, and saith, 'Smite me, I pray thee;' and the man smiteth him, smiting and wounding,
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 goeth and standeth for the king on the way, and disguiseth himself with ashes on 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 it cometh to pass — the king is passing by — that he hath cried unto the king, and saith, 'Thy servant went out into the midst of the battle, and lo, a man hath turned aside and bringeth in unto me a man, and saith, Keep this man; if he be at all missing, then hath thy life been for his life, or a talent of silver thou dost weigh out;
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 it cometh to pass, thy servant is working hither and thither, and he is not!' and the king of Israel saith unto him, Right [is] thy judgment; thou hast determined [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 hasteth and turneth aside the ashes from off his eyes, and the king of Israel discerneth him, that he [is] 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 saith unto him, 'Thus said Jehovah, Because thou hast sent away the man I devoted, out of [thy] hand, even thy life hath been 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 goeth unto his house, sulky and wroth, and cometh in to Samaria.
