2 Mpanjaka 1
1 Ie nihomake t’i Akabe, le niola am’ Israele t’i Moabe.
AND MOAB rebelled against Israel after the death of Ahab.
2 Nitsirikoake boak’ amy tsingarakara’ i efe’e ambone eo e Someroney t’i Ahkazià le nisiloke vaho nampañitrife’e ty ìrake, ami’ty hoe: Akia. añontaneo amy Baalezebobe, ‘ndrahare’ i Ekrone, ke hiambeñe raho amo areteko zao.
And Ahaziah fell down through the lattice in his upper chamber that was in Samaria, and was sick; and he sent messengers, and said unto them: 'Go, inquire of Baal-zebub the god of Ekron whether I shall recover of this sickness.'
3 Fe hoe ty tsara’ i anjeli’ Iehovà amy Elià nte-Tisbý: Miongaha, akia mifanalakà amo ìra’ i mpanjaka’ i Someroneio, le ano ty hoe: Aa vaho tsy aman’ Añahare hao t’Israele, t’ie homb’ amy Baalezebobe ‘ndrahare’ i Ekrone hañontane aze?
But an angel of the LORD said to Elijah the Tishbite: 'Arise, go up to meet the messengers of the king of Samaria, and say unto them: Is it because there is no God in Israel, that ye go to inquire of Baal-zebub the god of Ekron?
4 Aa le hoe ty nafè’ Iehovà: Tsy hizotso amy fandreañe nijoña’oy rehe, fa toe hivetrake. Le nienga t’i Elià.
Now therefore thus saith the LORD: Thou shalt not come down from the bed whither thou art gone up, but shalt surely die.' And Elijah departed.
5 Nimpoly ama’e o ìra’eo, le hoe re ama’e: Ino ty nimpolia’ areo?
And the messengers returned unto him, and he said unto them: 'Why is it that ye are returned?'
6 Le nanoa’ iareo ty hoe: Nifanampe ama’ay t’indaty nanao ty hoe: Akia mimpolia mb’ amy mpanjaka nañirak’ anahareoy, vaho isaontsio ty hoe: Hoe ty nafè’ Iehovà: Aa vaho tsy aman’ Añahare hao t’Israele te ihe mañitrike hañontane e Baalezebobe ‘ndrahare’ i Ekrone? Aa le tsy hizotsoa’o i fandreañe nijoña’o, fa toe hihomake.
And they said unto him: 'There came up a man to meet us, and said unto us: Go, return unto the king that sent you, and say unto him: Thus saith the LORD: Is it because there is no God in Israel, that thou sendest to inquire of Baal-zebub the god of Ekron? therefore thou shalt not come down from the bed whither thou art gone up, but shalt surely die.'
7 Le hoe re am’ iereo: T’indaty manao akore ty nifanalaka ama’ areo, nisaontsy i entañe zay ama’ areo?
And he said unto them: 'What manner of man was he that came up to meet you, and told you these words?'
8 Le hoe ty natoi’ iareo: Ondaty volovoloeñe, midian-kolitse an-toha’e. Le hoe re: I Elià nte-Tisbý zay.
And they answered him: 'He was a hairy man, and girt with a girdle of leather about his loins.' And he said: 'It is Elijah the Tishbite.'
9 Aa le nañirake ty mpifehe-limampolo rekets’ i limampolo’ey i mpanjakay. Niañambone mb’ama’e mb’eo iereo, le ingo ie niambesatse an-dengom-bohitse ey. Le hoe re ama’e: O ondatin’ Añahareo, hoe ty enta’ i mpanjakay: Mizotsoa.
Then the king sent unto him a captain of fifty with his fifty. And he went up to him; and, behold, he sat on the top of the hill. And he spoke unto him: 'O man of God, the king hath said: Come down.'
10 Le hoe ty natoi’ i Elià i mpifehe limampoloy: Naho toe ondatin’ Añahare raho le ee te hizotso boak’ andikerañe ey ty afo hamorototo azo naho o limampolo’oo, Aa le nikodoiñe boak’ andikerañe añe ty afo namorototo aze rekets’ i limampolo rey.
And Elijah answered and said to the captain of fifty: 'If I be a man of God, let fire come down from heaven, and consume thee and thy fifty.' And there came down fire from heaven, and consumed him and his fifty.
11 Nañirake mpifehe limampolo indraike re rekets’ i limampolo’ey. Le nisaontsia’e ty hoe: Ry ‘ndatin’ Añahareo, hoe i mpanjakay: Mizotsoa ami’ty manao zao.
And again he sent unto him another captain of fifty with his fifty. And he answered and said unto him: 'O man of God, thus hath the king said: Come down quickly.'
12 Le hoe ty natoi’ i Elià: Naho toe ‘ndatin’ Añahare raho, le ee te hizotso boak’ an-dikerañe ey ty afo hamorototo azo naho o limampolo’oo. Le nizotso boak’ aman’ Añahare an-dikerañe añe ty afo namorototo aze rekets’ i limampolo’ey.
And Elijah answered and said unto them: 'If I be a man of God, let fire come down from heaven, and consume thee and thy fifty.' And the fire of God came down from heaven, and consumed him and his fifty.
13 Nañirake indraike re, le ty mpifehe limampolo fahatelo reketse ty limam-polo’e. Nitroatse mb’eo i mpifehe limampoloy, le nitongalek’ añatrefa’ i Elià eo vaho nihalalia’e ami’ty hoe: Ry ondatin’ Añahare, miambane ama’o, ehe te ho vara am-pahaisaha’o ty fiaiko naho ty fiai’ o mpitoro’o limampolo retoañe.
And again he sent the captain of a third fifty with his fifty. And the third captain of fifty went up, and came and fell on his knees before Elijah, and besought him, and said unto him: 'O man of God, I pray thee, let my life, and the life of these fifty thy servants, be precious in thy sight.
14 Toe nihotrake boak’ andikerañe ey ty afo namorototo i mpifehe limampolo taolo rey rekets’ i limampolo’ iareoy; fe ee te ho sarotse ampahaoniña’o henaneo ty fiaiko.
Behold, there came fire down from heaven, and consumed the two former captains of fifty with their fifties; but now let my life be precious in thy sight'
15 Le hoe ty tsara’ i anjeli’ Iehovày amy Elià: Mindreza fizotso ama’e, ko hembañe. Le niongake re nizotso mindre ama’e mb’ amy mpanjakay mb’eo.
And the angel of the LORD said unto Elijah: 'Go down with him; be not afraid of him.' And he arose, and went down with him unto the king.
16 Le hoe re tama’e: Hoe ty nafè’ Iehovà: Ie nañitrik’ ìrake hañontane i Baalezebobe, ‘ndrahare’ i Ekrone; tsy aman’Añahare hao t’Israele hañontanea’o i tsara’ey? Toly ndra tsy hizotsoa’o o fandreañe nijoña’oo fa toe hivetrake.
And he said unto him: 'Thus saith the LORD: Forasmuch as thou hast sent messengers to inquire of Baal-zebub the god of Ekron, is it because there is no God in Israel to inquire of His word? therefore thou shalt not come down from the bed whether thou art gone up, but shalt surely die.'
17 Aa le nihomake re ty amy tsara’ Iehovà nisaontsie’ i Eliày. Le niorotse nandimbe aze nifehe t’Iehorame amy taom-paharoe’ Iehorame ana’ Iehosafate mpanjaka’ Iehoday; amy t’ie tsy nanañ’ ana-dahy.
So he died according to the word of the LORD which Elijah had spoken. And Jehoram began to reign in his stead in the second year of Jehoram the son of Jehoshaphat king of Judah; because he had no son.
18 Le o fitoloñañe ila’e nanoe’ i Ahkaziào, tsy fa sinokitse amy bokem-pamoliliañe o mpanjaka’ Israeleoy hao?
Now the rest of the acts of Ahaziah which he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
