1 Mpanjaka 22
1 Le lia’e tsy nialy telo taoñe ty Arame naho Israele.
And there passed three years without war between Syria and Israel.
2 Ie amy taom-paha-teloy, le nizotso mb’amy mpanjaka’ Israeley mb’eo t’Iehosafate mpanjaka’ Iehoda.
And in the third year, Josaphat king of Juda came down to the king of Israel.
3 Aa hoe ty mpanjaka’ Israele amo mpitoro’eo: Fohi’ areo hao te antika t’i Ramote-Gilade? fe mbe eo avao tika tsy nandrambe aze am-pitam-panjaka’ i Arame.
(And the king of Israel said to his servants: Know ye not-that Ramoth Galaad is ours, and we neglect to take it out of the hand of the king of Syria?)
4 Le hoe re am’ Iehosafate: Hitraok’ amako hao rehe hifandrapake e Ramote-Gilade añe? le hoe t’Iehosafate amy mpanjaka’ Israeley: Ama’o raho manahake ty vata’o, ondatikoo hoe ondati’o, o soavalakoo hoe soavala’o.
And he said to Josaphat: Wilt thou come with me to battle to Ramoth Galaad?
5 Le hoe t’Iehosafate amy mpanjaka’ Israeley: Ehe, paiao hey ty tsara’ Iehovà.
And Josaphat said to the king of Israel: As I am, so art thou: my people and thy people are one: and my horsemen, thy horsemen. And Josaphat said to the king of Israel: Inquire, I beseech thee, this day, the word of the Lord.
6 Aa le natonto’ i mpanjaka’ Israeley o mpitokio, va’e ondaty efa-jato, le nanoa’e ty hoe: Homb’ e Ramote-Gilade mb’eo hao raho hifañotakotake, he hifoneñe? Le hoe iereo: Miavota; fa hitolora’ i Talè am-pità’ i mpanjakay.
Then the king of Israel assembled the prophets, about four hundred men, and he said to them: Shall I go to Ramoth Galaad to fight, or shall I forbear? They answered: Go up, and the Lord will deliver it into the hand of the king.
7 Aa hoe t’Iehosafate: Tsy amam-pitoki’ Iehovà hao ty atoy hañontanean-tika?
And Josaphat said: Is there not here some prophet of the Lord, that we may inquire by him?
8 Le hoe ty mpanjaka’ Israele am’ Iehosafate: Mbe añe t’indaty raike hampañontanean-tika am’ Iehovà, i Mikaià ana’ Imlà; fe hejeko; amy te tsy soa ty fitokia’e amako fa raty. Le hoe t’Iehosafate: Ee te tsy hanao zay ty mpanjaka!
And the king of Israel said to Josaphat: There is one man left, by whom we may inquire of the Lord: Micheas the son of Jemla; but I hate him, for he doth not prophesy good to me, but evil. And Josaphat said: Speak not so, O king.
9 Aa le kinanji’ i mpanjaka’ Israeley ty mpifehe, nanao ty hoe: Hitrifo masika t’i Mikaià ana’ Imlà.
Then the king of Israel called an eunuch, and said to him: Make haste, and bring hither Micheas the son of Jemla.
10 Ie amy zao songa niambesatse am-piambesa’e, nisarimbo an-toem-pamofohañe an-dalambeim-pimoaha’ i Somerone ey ty mpanjaka’ Israele naho Iosafate mpanjaka’ Iehoda; le nitoky añatrefa’ iereo o mpitoky iabio.
Then the king of Israel, and Josaphat king of Juda, sat each on his throne clothed with royal robes, in a court by the entrance of the gate of Samaria, and all the prophets prophesied before them.
11 Nandranjy tsifa viñe ho aze t’i Tsedekià ana’ i Kenaanà nanao ty hoe: Hoe t’Iehovà: Ho tombohe’o amo retiañe o nte-Arameo am-para’ te mongotse.
And Sedecias the son of Chanaana made himself horns of iron, and said: Thus saith the Lord: With these shalt thou push Syria, till thou destroy it.
12 Le nitoky hoe zay iaby o mpitokio, nanao ty hoe: Mionjona mb’e Ramote-Gilade mb’eo le miraoraòa; fa hatolo’ Iehovà am-pità’ i mpanjakay.
And all the prophets prophesied in like manner, saying: Go up to Ramoth Galaad, and prosper, for the Lord will deliver it into the king’s hands.
13 Nisaontsie’ i nampihitrifeñe amy Mikaià ty hoe: Inao: mikoike hasoa amy mpanjakay am-palie raike ty fisaontsi’ o mpitokio, aa, ee te hanahake ty fisaontsi’ ty raik’ am’ iereo o enta’oo, fa ty hasoa ty atao’o.
And the messenger, that went to call Micheas, spoke to him, saying: Behold the words of the prophets with one month declare good things to the king: let thy word therefore be like to theirs, and speak that which is good.
14 Aa hoe t’i Mikaià: Kanao veloñe t’Iehovà, ze hafè’ Iehovà amako, zay ty ho taroñeko.
But Micheas said to him: As the Lord liveth, whatsoever the Lord shall say to me, that will I speak.
15 Ie pok’ amy mpanjakay eo, le hoe i mpanjakay ama’e: O Mikaià, hionjomb’ e Ramote-Gilade mb’eo hao tika, he hifoneñe? Le hoe re: Mionjona, miraoraòa, fa hatolo’ Iehovà am-pità’ i mpanjakay.
So he came to the king, and the king said to him: Micheas, shall we go to Ramoth Galaad to battle, or shall we forbear? He answered him: Go up, and prosper, and the Lord shall deliver it into the king’s hands.
16 Le hoe i mpanjakay ama’e: Im-pire hao t’ie hitolom-pamantoke azo ty tsy hisaontsy amako naho tsy ty hatò ami’ty tahina’ Iehovà?
But the king said to him: I adjure thee again and again, that thou tell me nothing but that which is true in the name of the Lord.
17 Le hoe re: Nitreako te hene niparaitak’ amo vohitseo t’Israele, manahak’ añondry tsy amam-piarake; aa le hoe t’Iehovà: Po-talè iereo; apoho songa himpoly mb’ an-kiboho’e mb’eo an-kanintsiñe.
And he said: I saw all Israel scattered upon the hills, like sheep that have no shepherd: and the Lord said: These have no master: let every man of them return to his house in peace.
18 Le hoe ty mpanjaka’ Israele am’ Iehosafate: Aa vaho tsy vinolako ama’o hao te tsy ty soa ty hitokia’e ahy fa ty raty.
(Then the king of Israel said to Josaphat: Did I not tell thee, that he prophesieth no good to me, but always evil?)
19 Le hoe re: Aa le janjiño ty tsara’ Iehovà. Nitreako t’Iehovà niambesatse amy fiambesa’ey naho nijohañe añ’ ila’e am-pità’e havana naho an-kavia’e i valobohòn-dikerañey.
And he added and said: Hear thou therefore the word of the Lord: I saw the Lord sitting on his throne, and all the army of heaven standing by him on the right hand and on the left:
20 Le hoe t’Iehovà: Ia ty hanigìke i Akabe, hionjona’e hikorovoke e Ramote-gilade añe. Nanao hoe zao ty raike, naho hoe zay ty ila’e.
And the Lord said: Who shall deceive Achab king of Israel, that he may go up, and fall at Ramoth Galaad? And one spoke words of this manner, and another otherwise.
21 Nionjomb’ eo amy zao ty fañahy nijohañe añatrefa’ Iehovà ey, nanao ty hoe: Zaho ty hanigìk’ aze. Le hoe t’Iehovà ama’e: Ami’ty manao akore?
And there came forth a spirit, and stood before the Lord, and said: I will deceive him. And the Lord said to him: By what means?
22 Le hoe re, Hionjomb’ eo raho ho fañahim-bande am-palie’ o mpitoky iabio. Le hoe re: Ihe arè ty hanigik’ aze vaho ho tahieñe; akia, anò.
And he said: I will go forth, and be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets. And the Lord said: Thou shalt deceive him, and shalt prevail: a go forth, and do so.
23 Ie amy zao, mahaoniña te nampipoha’ Iehovà am-palie’ o hene mpitoky retoañe ty fañahin-dremborake; fe nitsara hànkañe ama’o t’Iehovà.
Now therefore behold the Lord hath given a lying spirit in the mouth of all thy prophets that are here, and the Lord hath spoken evil against thee.
24 Le nañarine aze t’i Tsedekià ana’ i Kenaanà naho tinampifi’e am-pivimbi’e ty Mikaià vaho nanao ty hoe: Nimb’ aia i fañahi’ Iehovà niboak’ amako hampivolañe azoy?
And Sedecias the son of Chanaana came, and struck Micheas on the cheek, and said: Hath then the spirit of the Lord left me, and spoken to thee?
25 Le hoe t’i Mikaià: Mahafohina te ho isa’o ami’ty andro himoaha’o hietak’ an-traño añate’e ao.
And Micheas said: Thou shalt see in the day when thou shalt go into a chamber within a chamber to hide thyself.
26 Le hoe ty mpanjaka’ Israele, Rambeso t’i Mikaià le aseseo amy Amone mpifelek’ i rovay naho am’ Ioase ana’ i mpanjakay;
And the king of Israel said: Take Micheas, and let him abide with Ammon the governor of the city, and with Joas the son of Amalech.
27 le ano ty hoe: Hoe ty saontsi’ i mpanjakay: Agabeño ampandrohizañe ao t’indaty tia vaho fahano mofon-kasotriañe naho ranon-kaoreañe ampara’ te mimpoly an-kanintsin-draho.
And tell them: Thus saith the king: Put this man in prison, and feed him with bread of affliction, and water of distress, till I return in peace.
28 Le hoe t’i Mikaià, Naho mimpoly an-kanintsin-drehe le tsy nitsara añamako t’Iehovà. Le hoe re: Mijanjiña ondatio; inahareo iaby.
And Micheas said: If thou return in peace, the Lord hath not spoken by me. And he said: Hear, all ye people.
29 Aa le nionjomb’e Ramote-gilade mb’eo ty mpanjaka’ Israele naho Iehosafate mpanjaka’ Iehoda.
So the king of Israel, and Josaphat king of Juda went up to Ramoth Galaad.
30 Le hoe ty mpanjaka’ Israele am’ Iehosafate: Hañonohono vatan-draho vaho himoak’ ankotakotak’ ao; fe ampiombeo o saro’oo. Le nañonohono ty mpanjaka’ Israele, t’ie nionjomb’ añ’ aly mb’eo.
And the king of Israel said to Josaphat: Take armour, and go into the battle, and put on thy own garments. But the king of Israel changed his dress, and went into the battle.
31 Ie amy zao fa linili’ i mpanjaka’ i Aramey i mpifehen-tsarete’e telo-polo-ro’ amby rey ami’ty hoe: Ko mialy ami’ ty kede ndra ami’ ty bey, fa amy mpanjaka Israeley avao.
And the king of Syria had commanded the two and thirty captains of the chariots, saying: You shall not fight against any, small or great, but against the king of Israel only.
32 Aa ie nioni’ o mpifehen-tsareteo t’Iehosafate, le nanao ty hoe: Inge ie! ty mpanjaka’ Israele, le hene nitolike hialy ama’e; vaho nikoike t’Iehosafate.
So when the captains of the chariots saw Josaphat, they suspected that he was the king of Israel, and making a violent assault they fought against him: and Josaphat cried out.
33 Aa ie nioni’ i mpifehen-tsarete rey t’ie tsy mpanjaka’ Israele, le nivio tsy nañoridañ’ aze ka.
And the captains of the chariots perceived that he was not the king of and they turned away from him.
34 Le teo t’indaty nampibitso-pale tsy nahi’e, vaho trinofa’e ty mpanjaka’ Israele añivo’ ty fikalañ’ ambane naho ty fikalañ’ araña’e ao; aa le hoe re amy mpinday sarete’ey: Ampitoliho ty fità’o, le akaro amy valobohòkey raho, fa vata’e fere.
And a certain man bent his bow, shooting at a venture, and chanced to strike the king of Israel between the lungs and the stomach. But he said to the driver of his chariot: Turn thy hand, and carry me out of the army, for I am grievously wounded.
35 Niindra avao ty aly amy andro zay, le nampiatoeñe amy sarete’ey am-piatrefañe o nte-Arameo i mpanjakay, le nihomake te hariva; nikararàke boak’ am-pere’e mb’an gorodo’ i saretey ty lio’e.
And the battle was fought that day, and the king of Israel stood in his chariot against the Syrians, and he died in the evening: and the blood ran out of the wound into the midst of the chariot.
36 Nipoñak’ amy zao ty koike niboele amy valobohòkey te tsofots’ àndro nanao ty hoe: Songa ondaty mb’ an-drova’e, fonga ondaty mb’ an-tane’e añe.
And the herald proclaimed through all the army before the sun set, saying: Let every man return to his own city, and to his own country.
37 Aa le nihomake i mpanjakay, vaho nendeseñe e Somerone; le nalente’ iereo e Somerone ao i mpanjakay.
And the king died, and was carried into Samaria: and they buried the king in Samaria.
38 Sinasa marine’ i antara’ i Someroney i sarete’ey, naho tsinela’ o amboao ty lio’e, (toe fiandroa’ o tsimirirañeo ty ao), ty amy enta’ Iehovà nitsarae’ey.
And they washed his chariot in the pool of Samaria, and the dogs licked up his blood, and they washed the reins, according to the word of the Lord which he had spoken.
39 O fitoloña’ i Akabe ila’eo naho o nanoe’e iabio naho i anjomba niranjie’e an-tsifay vaho o rova maro namboare’eo, tsy fa sinokitse amy bokem-pamoliliañe o mpanjaka’ Israeleoy hao?
But the rest of the acts of Achab, and all that he did, and the house of ivory that he made, and all the cities that he built, are they not written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Israel?
40 Aa le nitrao-piròtse aman-droae’e t’i Akabe; vaho nandimbe aze nifehe t’i Ahkazià ana’e.
So Achab slept with his fathers, and Ochozias his son reigned in his stead.
41 Niorotse nifehe e Iehoda t’Iehosafate ana’ i Asa amy taom-paha-efa’ i Akabe mpanjaka’ Israeley.
But Josaphat the son of Asa began to reign over Juda in the fourth year of Achab king of Israel.
42 Ni-telopolo taoñe lime amby t’Iehosafate t’ie namototse nifeleke; le taoñe roapolo-lime amby ty nifehea’e e Ierosalaime ao. I Azobà, ana’ i Silký ty tahinan-drene’e.
He was five and thirty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned five and twenty years in Jerusalem: the name of his mother was Azuba the daughter of Salai.
43 Nañavelo ami’ty lia’ i Asà rae’e re, tsy nivìk’ ama’e le ze mahity am-pihaino’ Iehovà avao ty nanoe’e;
And he walked in all the way of Asa his father, and he declined not from it: and he did that which was right in the sight of the Lord. Nevertheless he took not away the high places: for as Set the people offered sacrifices and burnt incense in the high places.
44 fe tsy nafahañe añe o tambohoo; le mbe nanao soroñe naho nañenga amo tambohoo ondatio.
And Josaphat had peace with the king of Israel.
45 Nifampilongo amy mpanjaka’ Israeley t’Iehosafate.
But the rest of the acts of Josaphat, and his works which he did, and his batties, are they not written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Juda?
46 Le o fitoloña’ Iehosafate ila’eo naho i haozara’e naboa’ey vaho o fialia’eo; tsy fa sinokitse amy bokem-pamoliliañe o mpanjaka’ Iehodaoy hao?
And the remnant also of the effeminate, who remained in the days of Asa his father, he took out of the land.
47 Naho o Tsivoatsolo sehanga’eo, o mbe nisisa faha’ i Asa, rae’eo, le finongo’e amy taney.
And there was then no king appointed in Edom.
48 Tsy amam-panjaka t’Edome, fa mpifeleke ty nisolo i mpanjakay.
But king Josaphat made navies on the sea, to sail into Ophir for gold: but they could not go, for the ships were broken in Asiongaber.
49 Nandranjy sambon-Tarsise t’Iehosafate hitoha volamena e Ofira añe; f’ie tsy nionjomb’eo; nifoy e Etsione-gebere ao i sambo rey.
Then Ochozias the ton of Achab said to Josaphat: Let my servants go with thy servants in the ships. And Josaphat would not.
50 Le hoe t’i Ahkazià ana’ i Akabe am’ Iehosafate: Angao hindre lia amo mpitoro’oo an-tsambo’ o mpitorokoo. Fe tsy nimete t’Iehosafate.
And Josaphat slept with his fathers. and was buried with them in the city of David his father: and Joram his son reigned in his stead.
51 Le nitrao-piròtse aman-droae’e t’Iehosafate, naho nalentek’ aman-droae’e an-drova’ i Davide, rae’e ao vaho nandimbe aze nifehe t’Iehorame ana’e.
And Ochozias the son of Achab began to reign over Israel in Samaria, in the seventeenth gear of Josaphat king of Juda, and he reigned over Israel two years,
52 Niorotse nifehe Israele e Somerone ao t’i Ahkazià amy taom-paha-folo-fito’ ambi’ Iehosafate mpanjaka’ Iehoday, le nifehe Israele roe taoñe,
And he did evil in the sight of the Lord, and walked in the way of his father and his mother, and in the way of Jeroboam the son of Nabat, who made Israel to sin.
53 fe nanao halò-tserehañe am-pivazohoa’ Iehovà naho nañavelo an-tsatan-drae’e naho an-tsatan-drene’e naho an-tsata’ Iarovame ana’ i Nebate, ie nampanan-kakeo’ Israele. Nitoroñe i Baale re naho nitalahoa’e vaho nisigihe’e t’Iehovà Andrianañahare’ Israele, fonga nitsikombè’e o nanoen-droae’eo.
He served also Baal, and worshipped him, and provoked the Lord the God of Israel, according to all that his father had done.
