< 2 Chronicles 18 >
1 Nísinsin yìí Jehoṣafati sì ní ọrọ̀ àti ọlá púpọ̀, ó sì dá àna pẹ̀lú Ahabu nípa fífẹ́ ọmọ rẹ̀.
And Iehoshaphat had riches and honour in abundance, but he was ioyned in affinitie with Ahab.
2 Lẹ́yìn ọjọ́ díẹ̀, ó sọ̀kalẹ̀ láti lọ bá Ahabu lálejò ní Samaria. Ahabu sì pa àgùntàn àti màlúù púpọ̀ fún àti àwọn ènìyàn tí ó wà pẹ̀lú rẹ̀ ó sì rọ̀ ọ́ láti dojú ìjà kọ Ramoti Gileadi.
And after certaine yeeres he went downe to Ahab to Samaria: and Ahab slew sheepe and oxen for him in great nomber, and for the people that he had with him, and entised him to goe vp vnto Ramoth Gilead.
3 Ahabu ọba Israẹli sì béèrè lọ́wọ́ ọba Jehoṣafati, ọba Juda pé, “Ṣé ìwọ yóò lọ pẹ̀lú mi sí Ramoti Gileadi?” Jehoṣafati sì dá a lóhùn pé, “Èmi wà gẹ́gẹ́ bí ìwọ ti ṣe wà, àti àwọn ènìyàn mi gẹ́gẹ́ bí ènìyàn rẹ àwa yóò pẹ̀lú rẹ nínú ogun náà”.
And Ahab King of Israel saide vnto Iehoshaphat King of Iudah, Wilt thou goe with mee to Ramoth Gilead? And hee answered him, I am as thou art, and my people as thy people, and wee will ioyne with thee in the warre.
4 Ṣùgbọ́n Jehoṣafati náà sì tún wí fún ọba Israẹli pé, “Kọ́kọ́ béèrè lọ́wọ́ Olúwa.”
And Iehoshaphat sayde vnto the King of Israel, Aske counsel, I pray thee, at the worde of the Lord this day.
5 Bẹ́ẹ̀ ọba Israẹli kó àwọn wòlíì papọ̀, irinwó ọkùnrin ó sì bi wọ́n pé, “Kí àwa kí lọ sí ogun Ramoti Gileadi tàbí kí èmi kí ó jọ̀wọ́ rẹ?” Wọ́n dáhùn pé, “Lọ, nítorí tí Ọlọ́run yóò fi lé ọba lọ́wọ́.”
Therefore the King of Israel gathered of Prophets foure hundreth men, and sayde vnto them, Shall we goe to Ramoth Gilead to battel, or shall I cease? And they sayd, Go vp: for God shall deliuer it into the Kings hand.
6 Ṣùgbọ́n Jehoṣafati béèrè pé, “Ṣé kò ha sí wòlíì Olúwa níbí ẹni tí àwa ìbá béèrè lọ́wọ́ rẹ̀?”
But Iehoshaphat sayde, Is there heere neuer a Prophet more of the Lord that wee might inquire of him?
7 Ọba Israẹli dá Jehoṣafati lóhùn pé, “Ọkùnrin kan wà síbẹ̀ lọ́dọ̀ ẹni tí àwa ìbá tún béèrè lọ́wọ́ Olúwa, ṣùgbọ́n èmi kórìíra rẹ̀ nítorí kò jẹ́ sọ àsọtẹ́lẹ̀ ohun rere kan nípa mi ṣùgbọ́n bí kò ṣe ohun búburú, ní gbogbo ìgbà òun náà ni Mikaiah ọmọ Imla.” Jehoṣafati sì dá lóhùn pé, “Ọba kò gbọdọ̀ sọ bẹ́ẹ̀.”
And the King of Israel sayd vnto Iehoshaphat, There is yet one man, by whome wee may aske counsell of the Lord, but I hate him: for he doeth not prophesie good vnto me, but alway euil: it is Michaiah the sonne of Imla. Then Iehoshaphat said, Let not the King say so.
8 Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ọba Israẹli pe ọ̀kan lára àwọn ìjòyè ó sì wí pé, “Ẹ mú Mikaiah ọmọ Imla kí ó yára wá.”
And the King of Israel called an eunuche, and said, Call quickly Michaiah the sonne of Imla.
9 Wọ́n wọ aṣọ ìgúnwà wọn, ọba Israẹli àti Jehoṣafati ọba Juda wọ́n jókòó sórí ìtẹ́ wọ́n ní ìta ẹnu-bodè Samaria, pẹ̀lú gbogbo àwọn wòlíì tí ń sọtẹ́lẹ̀ níwájú wọn.
And the King of Israel, and Iehoshaphat King of Iudah sate either of them on his throne clothed in their apparel: they sate euen in the threshing floore at the entring in of the gate of Samaria: and all the Prophets prophesied before them.
10 Nísinsin yìí Sedekiah ọmọ Kenaana sì ti ṣe ìwo irin, ó sì wí pé, “Èyí ni ohun tí Olúwa sọ: ‘Pẹ̀lú èyí ìwọ yóò kan àwọn ará Siria títí ìwọ ó fi pa wọ́n run.’”
And Zidkiah ye sonne of Chenaanah made him hornes of yron, and sayde, Thus sayth the Lord, With these shalt thou push the Aramites vntill thou hast consumed them.
11 Gbogbo àwọn wòlíì tí ó kù ni wọn ń sọtẹ́lẹ̀ ní àkókò kan náà. Wọ́n sì wí pé, “Dojúkọ Ramoti Gileadi ìwọ yóò sì ṣẹ́gun, nítorí Olúwa yóò fi lé ọba lọ́wọ́.”
And all the Prophets prophesied so, saying, Go vp to Ramoth Gilead, and prosper: for the Lord shall deliuer it into the hand of the King.
12 Ìránṣẹ́ tí ó ti lọ pe Mikaiah sì wí fún un pé, “Ẹ wò ó, gẹ́gẹ́ bí ọkùnrin kan àti òmíràn wòlíì fi ẹnu kan sọ rere fún ọba. Jẹ́ kí ọ̀rọ̀ rẹ kí ó dàbí ọ̀kan nínú tiwọn, kí o sì sọ rere.”
And the messenger that went to call Michaiah, spake to him, saying, Beholde, the wordes of the Prophets declare good to the King with one accord: let thy word therefore, I pray thee, be like one of theirs, and speake thou good.
13 Ṣùgbọ́n Mikaiah wí pe, “Gẹ́gẹ́ bí ó ti dájú pé Olúwa ń bẹ láààyè, èmi yóò sọ ohun tí Ọlọ́run mi sọ.”
And Michaiah saide, As the Lord liueth, whatsoeuer my God saith, that will I speake.
14 Nígbà tí ó dé, ọba béèrè lọ́wọ́ rẹ̀, “Mikaiah, ṣe kí àwa ki ó lọ sí ogun ti Ramoti Gileadi, tàbí kí àwa kí ó fàsẹ́yìn?” Ó sì dáhùn pé, “Ẹ dojúkọ wọ́n kí ẹ sì ṣẹ́gun, nítorí a ó fi wọ́n lé yín lọ́wọ́.”
So he came to the King, and the King said vnto him, Michaiah, shall we go to Ramoth Gilead to battel, or shall I leaue off? And he said, Goe yee vp, and prosper, and they shalbe deliuered into your hand.
15 Ọba sì wí fún un pé, “Ìgbà mélòó ni èmi ó fi ọ́ búra láti sọ ohun kan fún mi bí kò ṣe ọ̀rọ̀ òtítọ́ ní orúkọ Olúwa?”
And the King sayd to him, Howe oft shall I charge thee, that thou tell mee nothing but the trueth in the Name of the Lord?
16 Mikaiah sì dáhùn pé, “Mo rí gbogbo Israẹli túká kiri lórí àwọn òkè bí àgùntàn tí kò ní olùṣọ́, Olúwa sì wí pé, ‘Àwọn wọ̀nyí kò ní olúwa. Jẹ́ kí olúkúlùkù padà sí ilé rẹ̀ ní àlàáfíà.’”
Then he said, I saw al Israel scattered in the mountaines, as sheepe that haue no shepheard: and the Lord sayd, These haue no Master: let them returne euery man to his house in peace.
17 Ọba Israẹli wí fún Jehoṣafati pé, “Ṣe èmi kò sọ fún ọ wí pé òun kò sọ àsọtẹ́lẹ̀ rere kankan nípa mi rí, ṣùgbọ́n búburú nìkan?”
And the King of Israel sayde to Iehoshaphat, Did I not tell thee, that he would not prophesie good vnto me, but euill?
18 Mikaiah tẹ̀síwájú pé, “Nítorí náà, gbọ́ ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa, mo rí Olúwa jókòó lórí ìtẹ́ rẹ̀ gbogbo ogun ọ̀run sì dúró lápá ọ̀tún àti lápá òsì.
Againe hee saide, Therefore heare ye the worde of the Lord: I sawe the Lord sit vpon his throne, and all the hoste of heauen standing at his right hand, and at his left.
19 Olúwa sì wí pé, ‘Ta ni yóò tan Ahabu ọba Israẹli lọ sí Ramoti Gileadi kí ó sì lọ kú ikú rẹ̀ níbẹ̀?’ “Èkínní sì sọ tìhín, òmíràn sì sọ tọ̀hún.
And the Lord sayd, Who shall perswade Ahab King of Israel, that he may go vp, and fall at Ramoth Gilead? And one spake and said thus, and another said that.
20 Ní ìparí, ni ẹ̀mí kan wá síwájú, ó dúró níwájú Olúwa ó sì wí pé, ‘Èmi yóò tàn án.’ “‘Nípa ọ̀nà wo?’ Olúwa béèrè.
Then there came forth a spirit and stoode before the Lord, and said, I will perswade him. And the Lord said vnto him, Wherein?
21 “‘Èmi yóò lọ láti lọ di ẹ̀mí èké ní ẹnu gbogbo àwọn wòlíì.’ “‘Ìwọ yóò sì borí nínú ìtànjẹ rẹ̀ báyìí,’ ni Olúwa wí. ‘Lọ kí ó sì ṣe bẹ́ẹ̀.’
And he saide, I will goe out, and bee a false spirit in the mouth of all his Prophets. And hee said, Thou shalt perswade, and shalt also preuaile: goe forth and do so.
22 “Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni nísinsin yìí Olúwa ti fi ẹ̀mí èké sí ẹnu àwọn wòlíì rẹ. Olúwa sì ti sọ ibi sí ọ.”
Now therefore behold, the Lord hath put a false spirit in the mouth of these thy Prophets, and the Lord hath determined euill against thee.
23 Nígbà náà Sedekiah ọmọ Kenaana lọ sókè ó sì gbá Mikaiah ní ojú. Ó sì béèrè pé, “Ní ọ̀nà wo ni ẹ̀mí Olúwa gbà kọjá lọ kúrò lọ́dọ̀ mi láti bá ọ sọ̀rọ̀?”
Then Zidkiah the sonne of Chenaanah came neere, and smote Michaiah vpon the cheeke, and sayde, By what way went the Spirit of the Lord from me, to speake with thee?
24 Mikaiah sì dáhùn pé, “Ìwọ yóò ṣe ìwádìí ní ọjọ́ tí ìwọ yóò sá pamọ́ sínú ìyẹ̀wù.”
And Michaiah saide, Behold, thou shalt see that day when thou shalt goe from chamber to chamber to hide thee.
25 Ọba Israẹli pa á láṣẹ pé, “Mú Mikaiah kí o sì ran padà sí Amoni olórí ìlú àti sí Joaṣi ọmọ ọba,
And the King of Israel sayde, Take ye Michaiah, and cary him to Amon the gouernour of the citie, and to Ioash the Kings sonne,
26 Ó sì wí pé, ‘Èyí ni ohun tí ọba sọ, ẹ fi ènìyàn yìí sínú túbú kí ẹ má sì ṣe fún un ní ohunkóhun ṣùgbọ́n àkàrà àti omi títí tí èmi yóò fi dé ní àlàáfíà.’”
And say, Thus saith the King, Put this man in the prison house, and feede him with bread of affliction and with water of affliction vntil I returne in peace.
27 Mikaiah sì wí pe, “Tí ìwọ bá padà ní àlàáfíà, Olúwa kò sọ̀rọ̀ láti ọ̀dọ̀ mi.” Nígbà náà, ó sì fi kún un pé, “Ẹ gbọ́ ọ̀rọ̀ mi, gbogbo ẹ̀yin ènìyàn!”
And Michaiah said, If thou returne in peace, the Lord hath not spoken by me. And he saide, Heare, all ye people.
28 Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ọba Israẹli àti Jehoṣafati ọba Juda lọ sókè ní Ramoti Gileadi.
So the King of Israel and Iehoshaphat the King of Iudah went vp to Ramoth Gilead.
29 Ọba Israẹli sọ fún Jehoṣafati pé, “Èmi yóò lọ sí ojú ìjà, ṣùgbọ́n ìwọ wọ aṣọ ìgúnwà rẹ.” Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ọba Israẹli pa aṣọ rẹ̀ dà, ó sì lọ sí ojú ìjà.
And the King of Israel said vnto Iehoshaphat, I will change my selfe, and enter into the battel: but put thou on thine apparel. So the King of Israel changed himselfe, and they went into the battel.
30 Nísinsin yìí ọba Siria ti pàṣẹ fún àwọn olórí kẹ̀kẹ́ tí ó wà ní ọ̀dọ̀ rẹ̀ pé, “Ẹ má ṣe jà pẹ̀lú ẹnìkankan, èwe tàbí àgbà àyàfi ọba Israẹli.”
And the King of Aram had commanded the captaines of the charets that were with him, saying, Fight you not with small, nor great, but against the King of Israel onely.
31 Nígbà tí àwọn olórí kẹ̀kẹ́ rí Jehoṣafati, wọ́n rò wí pé, “Èyí ní ọba Israẹli.” Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni wọ́n sì yípadà láti bá a jà. Ṣùgbọ́n Jehoṣafati kégbe sókè, Olúwa sì ràn án lọ́wọ́. Ọlọ́run sì lé wọn kúrò lọ́dọ̀ rẹ̀,
And when the captaines of the charets saw Iehoshaphat, they sayde, It is the King of Israel: and they compassed about him to fight. But Iehoshaphat cryed, and the Lord helped him and moued them to depart from him.
32 Ó sì ṣe, nígbà tí olórí kẹ̀kẹ́ rí i wí pé kì í ṣe ọba Israẹli, wọ́n sì dáwọ́ lílé rẹ̀ dúró.
For when the captaines of the charets saw that hee was not the King of Israel, they turned backe from him.
33 Ṣùgbọ́n ẹnìkan fa ọrun rẹ̀ láì pète, ó sì bá ọba Israẹli láàrín ìpàdé ẹ̀wù irin, ọba sì sọ fún olùtọ́jú kẹ̀kẹ́ rẹ̀ pé, “Yí ọwọ́ rẹ padà, kí o sì wà mí jáde kúrò lójú ìjà. Nítorí èmi ti gbọgbẹ́.”
Then a certaine man drewe a bowe mightily, and smote the King of Israel betweene the ioyntes of his brigandine: Therefore he saide to his charetman, Turne thine hand, and carie mee out of the host: for I am hurt.
34 Ní ọjọ́ pípẹ́, ìjà náà sì ń pọ̀ sí i, ọba Israẹli dúró nínú kẹ̀kẹ́ rẹ̀ kọjú sí àwọn ará Siria títí ó fi di àṣálẹ́. Lẹ́yìn náà ní àkókò ìwọ oòrùn, ó sì kú.
And the battel increased that day: and the King of Israel stood still in his charet against the Aramites vntil euen, and dyed at the time of the sunne going downe.
