2 Kings 3
1 Jehoramu ọmọ Ahabu sì di ọba Israẹli ní Samaria ní ọdún kejìdínlógún ti Jehoṣafati ọba Juda, ó sì jẹ ọba fún ọdún méjìlá.
In the eighteenth year of Jehoshaphat’s reign over Judah, Jehoram son of Ahab became king of Israel, and he reigned in Samaria twelve years.
2 Ó sì ṣe búburú níwájú Olúwa, ṣùgbọ́n kì í ṣe bí ti ìyá àti baba rẹ̀ ti ṣe. Ó gbé òkúta ère ti Baali tí baba rẹ̀ ti ṣe kúrò.
And he did evil in the sight of the LORD, but not as his father and mother had done. He removed the sacred pillar of Baal that his father had made.
3 Bí ó tilẹ̀ jẹ́ pé ó fi ara mọ́ ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ Jeroboamu ọmọ Nebati, tí ó ti fi Israẹli bú láti dẹ́ṣẹ̀; kò sì yí kúrò lọ́dọ̀ wọn.
Nevertheless, he clung to the sins that Jeroboam son of Nebat had caused Israel to commit; he did not turn away from them.
4 Nísinsin yìí Meṣa ọba Moabu ń sin àgùntàn, ó sì gbọdọ̀ fi fún ọba Israẹli pẹ̀lú ọ̀kẹ́ márùn-ún ọ̀dọ́-àgùntàn àti pẹ̀lú irun ọ̀kẹ́ márùn-ún àgbò.
Now Mesha king of Moab was a sheep breeder, and he would render to the king of Israel a hundred thousand lambs and the wool of a hundred thousand rams.
5 Ṣùgbọ́n lẹ́yìn ikú Ahabu, ọba Moabu ṣọ̀tẹ̀ lórí ọba Israẹli.
But after the death of Ahab, the king of Moab rebelled against the king of Israel.
6 Lásìkò ìgbà yìí ọba Jehoramu jáde kúrò ní Samaria ó sì yí gbogbo Israẹli ní ipò padà.
So at that time King Jehoram set out from Samaria and mobilized all Israel.
7 Ó sì ránṣẹ́ yìí sí Jehoṣafati ọba Juda pé, “Ọba Moabu sì ṣọ̀tẹ̀ sí mi. Ṣé ìwọ yóò lọ pẹ̀lú mi láti lọ bá Moabu jà?” Ọba Juda sì dáhùn pé, “Èmi yóò lọ pẹ̀lú rẹ. Èmi jẹ́ gẹ́gẹ́ bí ìwọ ti wà, ènìyàn rẹ bí ènìyàn mi, ẹṣin mi bí ẹṣin rẹ.”
And he sent a message to Jehoshaphat king of Judah: “The king of Moab has rebelled against me. Will you go with me to fight against Moab?” “I will go,” replied Jehoshaphat. “I am like you, my people are your people, and my horses are your horses.”
8 “Nípa ọ̀nà wo ni àwa yóò gbà dojúkọ wọ́n?” Ó béèrè. “Lọ́nà aginjù Edomu,” ó dáhùn.
Then he asked, “Which way shall we go up?” “By way of the Desert of Edom,” replied Joram.
9 Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ọba Israẹli jáde lọ pẹ̀lú ọba Juda àti ọba Edomu. Lẹ́yìn ìgbà tí wọ́n yíká fún ọjọ́ méje. Àwọn ọmọ-ogun wọn kò ní omi púpọ̀ fún ara wọn tàbí fún ẹranko tí ó wà pẹ̀lú wọn.
So the king of Israel, the king of Judah, and the king of Edom set out, and after they had traveled a roundabout route for seven days, they had no water for their army or for their animals.
10 “Kí ni?” ọba Israẹli kígbe sókè. “Ṣé Olúwa pe àwa ọba mẹ́tẹ̀ẹ̀ta papọ̀ láti fi wá lé Moabu lọ́wọ́?”
“Alas,” said the king of Israel, “for the LORD has summoned these three kings to deliver them into the hand of Moab!”
11 Ṣùgbọ́n Jehoṣafati sì wí pé, “Ṣé kò sí wòlíì Olúwa níbí, tí àwa ìbá ti ọ̀dọ̀ rẹ̀ béèrè lọ́wọ́ rẹ̀?” Ọ̀kan lára àwọn ìránṣẹ́ ọba Israẹli dáhùn pé, “Eliṣa ọmọ Ṣafati wà níbí. Ó máa sábà bu omi sí ọwọ́ Elijah.”
But Jehoshaphat asked, “Is there no prophet of the LORD here? Let us inquire of the LORD through him.” And one of the servants of the king of Israel answered, “Elisha son of Shaphat is here. He used to pour water on the hands of Elijah.”
12 Jehoṣafati wí pé, “Ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa wà pẹ̀lú rẹ̀.” Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ọba Israẹli àti Jehoṣafati àti ọba Edomu sọ̀kalẹ̀ tọ̀ ọ́ lọ.
Jehoshaphat affirmed, “The word of the LORD is with him.” So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat and the king of Edom went down to him.
13 Eliṣa wí fún ọba Israẹli pé, “Kí ni àwa ní ṣe pẹ̀lú ara wa? Lọ sọ́dọ̀ wòlíì baba rẹ àti wòlíì ti ìyá rẹ.” Ọba Israẹli dá a lóhùn, “Rárá, nítorí Olúwa ni ó pe àwa ọba mẹ́tẹ̀ẹ̀ta papọ̀ láti fi wá lé Moabu lọ́wọ́.”
Elisha, however, said to the king of Israel, “What have we to do with each other? Go to the prophets of your father and of your mother!” “No,” replied the king of Israel, “for it is the LORD who has summoned these three kings to deliver them into the hand of Moab.”
14 Eliṣa wí pé, “Gẹ́gẹ́ bí ó ti wà pé Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun wà láyé, ẹni tí mo ń sìn tí èmi kò bá ní ọ̀wọ̀ fún ojú Jehoṣafati ọba Juda, èmi kò ní wò ó tàbí èmi kì bá ti rí ọ.
Then Elisha said, “As surely as the LORD of Hosts lives, before whom I stand, were it not for my regard for the presence of Jehoshaphat king of Judah, I would not look at you or acknowledge you.
15 Ṣùgbọ́n nísinsin yìí, mú wá fún mi ohun èlò orin olókùn.” Nígbà tí akọrin náà n kọrin, ọwọ́ Olúwa wá sórí Eliṣa.
But now, bring me a harpist.” And while the harpist played, the hand of the LORD came upon Elisha
16 Ó sì wí pé, “Èyí ni ohun tí Olúwa sọ, ‘Jẹ́ kí àfonífojì kún fún ọ̀gbun.’
and he said, “This is what the LORD says: ‘Dig this valley full of ditches.’
17 Nítorí èyí ni Olúwa wí, o kò ní í rí afẹ́fẹ́ tàbí òjò, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni àfonífojì yìí yóò kún pẹ̀lú omi, àti ìwọ àti ẹran ọ̀sìn àti pẹ̀lú àwọn ẹran yóò mu.
For the LORD says, ‘You will not see wind or rain, but the valley will be filled with water, and you will drink—you and your cattle and your animals.’
18 Èyí jẹ́ ohun tí kò lágbára níwájú Olúwa, yóò sì fi Moabu lé e yín lọ́wọ́ pẹ̀lú.
This is a simple matter in the sight of the LORD, and He will also deliver the Moabites into your hand.
19 Ìwọ yóò sì bi gbogbo ìlú olódi àti gbogbo àgbà ìlú ṣubú. Ìwọ yóò sì gé gbogbo igi dáradára ṣubú, dá gbogbo orísun omi dúró, kí o sì pa gbogbo pápá dáradára pẹ̀lú òkúta run.”
And you shall attack every fortified city and every city of importance. You shall cut down every good tree, stop up every spring, and ruin every good field with stones.”
20 Ní òwúrọ̀ ọjọ́ kejì, ní àsìkò ẹbọ, níbẹ̀ ni omí sàn láti ọ̀kánkán Edomu! Ilé náà sì kún pẹ̀lú omi.
The next morning, at the time of the morning sacrifice, water suddenly flowed from the direction of Edom and filled the land.
21 Nísinsin yìí gbogbo ará Moabu gbọ́ pé àwọn ọba tí dé láti bá wọn jà. Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni gbogbo ènìyàn, ọmọdé àti àgbà tí ó lè ja ogun wọn pè wọ́n sókè wọ́n sì dúró ní etí ilẹ̀.
Now all the Moabites had heard that the kings had come up to fight against them. So all who could bear arms, young and old, were summoned and stationed at the border.
22 Nígbà tí wọ́n dìde ní òwúrọ̀ ọjọ́ kejì, oòrùn ti tàn sí orí omi náà sí àwọn ará Moabu ní ìkọjá ọ̀nà, omi náà sì pupa bí ẹ̀jẹ̀.
When they got up early in the morning, the sun was shining on the water, and it looked as red as blood to the Moabites across the way.
23 “Ẹ̀jẹ̀ ni èyí!” wọ́n wí pé, “Àwọn ọba wọ̀nyí lè ti jà kí wọn sì pa ara wọn ní ìpakúpa. Nísinsin yìí sí àwọn ìkógun Moabu!”
“This is blood!” they exclaimed. “The kings have clashed swords and slaughtered one another. Now to the plunder, Moab!”
24 Ṣùgbọ́n nígbà tí àwọn ará Moabu dé sí ibùdó ti Israẹli, àwọn ará Israẹli dìde, wọ́n sì kọlù wọ́n títí tí wọ́n fi sálọ. Àwọn ará Israẹli gbógun sí ilẹ̀ náà wọ́n sì pa Moabu run.
But when the Moabites came to the camp of Israel, the Israelites rose up and attacked them, and they fled before them. So the Israelites invaded their land and struck down the Moabites.
25 Wọ́n sì wọ gbogbo ìlú náà olúkúlùkù ènìyàn, wọ́n ju òkúta sí gbogbo ohun dáradára orí pápá títí tí ó fi run. Wọ́n sì dá gbogbo orísun omi dúró wọ́n sì gé gbogbo orísun dáradára. Kiri-Hareseti nìkan ni wọ́n fi òkúta rẹ̀ sílẹ̀ ní ààyè rẹ̀, ṣùgbọ́n àwọn ènìyàn ológun pẹ̀lú kànnàkànnà yíká, wọ́n sì kọlù ìlú náà.
They destroyed the cities, and each man threw stones on every good field until it was covered. They stopped up every spring and cut down every good tree. Only Kir-haraseth was left with stones in place, but men with slings surrounded it and attacked it as well.
26 Nígbà tí ọba Moabu rí i wí pé ogun náà le ju ti òun lọ, ó mú idà pẹ̀lú ẹ̀ẹ́dẹ́gbẹ̀rin ọkùnrin onídà láti jà pẹ̀lú ọba Edomu, ṣùgbọ́n wọn kò yege.
When the king of Moab saw that the battle was too fierce for him, he took with him seven hundred swordsmen to break through to the king of Edom, but they could not prevail.
27 Nígbà náà ó mú àkọ́bí ọmọkùnrin rẹ̀, tí kò bá jẹ́ gẹ́gẹ́ bí ọba, ó sì fi rú ẹbọ sísun ní orí ògiri ìlú. Wọ́n sì bínú lórí Israẹli púpọ̀púpọ̀; wọ́n yọ́ kúrò wọ́n sì padà sí ìlú wọn.
So he took his firstborn son, who was to succeed him, and offered him as a burnt offering on the city wall. And there was great fury against the Israelites, so they withdrew and returned to their own land.
