2 Kings 3
1 And Jehoram, the son of Ahab, became king over Israel in Samaria in the eighteenth year of the rule of Jehoshaphat, king of Judah; and he was king for twelve years.
Ary Jorama, zanak’ i Ahaba, vao nanjaka tamin’ ny Isiraely tao Samaria tamin’ ny fahavalo ambin’ ny folo taona nanjakan’ i Josafata, mpanjakan’ ny Joda, ary nanjaka roa ambin’ ny folo taona izy.
2 He did evil in the eyes of the Lord; but not like his father and his mother, for he put away the stone pillar of Baal which his father had made.
Ary nanao izay ratsy eo imason’ i Jehovah koa izy, nefa kosa tsy dia tahaka an-drainy, na tahaka an-dreniny; fa nanaisotra ilay tsangam-baton’ i Bala izay nataon’ drainy izy;
3 But still he did the same sins which Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, did and made Israel do; he went on in them.
nefa izy nikikitra tamin’ ny fahotan’ i Jeroboama, zanak’ i Nebata, izay nampanotany ny Isiraely, fa tsy niala tamin’ izany.
4 Now Mesha, king of Moab, was a sheep-farmer; and he gave regularly to the king of Israel the wool from a hundred thousand lambs and a hundred thousand sheep.
Ary Mesa, mpanjakan’ i Moaba, nanana ondry betsaka; ary nandoa hetra ho an’ ny mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely izy, dia zanak’ ondry iray hetsy sy ny volon’ ondrilahy iray hetsy.
5 But when Ahab was dead, the king of Moab got free from the authority of the king of Israel.
Fa rehefa maty Ahaba, dia niodina tamin’ ny mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely ny mpanjakan’ i Moaba.
6 At that time, King Jehoram went out from Samaria and got all Israel together in fighting order.
Ary Jorama mpanjaka nivoaka avy tany Samaria tamin’ izany andro izany ka nandamina ny Isiraely rehetra.
7 And he sent to Jehoshaphat, king of Judah, saying, The king of Moab has got free from my authority: will you go with me to make war on Moab? And he said, I will go with you: I am as you are, my people as your people, and my horses as your horses.
Ary nandeha izy, dia naniraka tany amin’ i Josafata, mpanjakan’ ny Joda, ka nanao hoe: Ny mpanjakan’ i Moaba efa niodina tamiko: koa mba hiaraka amiko va ianao hiady aminy? Ary hoy izy: Eny, handeha aho, fa tahaka ny tenanao ihany aho, ka ny oloko dia olonao, ary ny soavaliko dia soavalinao.
8 And he said, Which way are we to go? And he said in answer, By the waste land of Edom.
Ary hoy izy: Aiza ary no lalana halehantsika? Ary izy namaly hoe: Ilay mamaky ny efitr’ i Edoma.
9 So the king of Israel went with the king of Judah and the king of Edom by a roundabout way for seven days: and there was no water for the army or for the beasts they had with them.
Dia nandeha ny mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely sy ny mpanjakan’ ny Joda ary ny mpanjakan’ i Edoma; ary nandeha nanodidina lalan-kafitoana izy; ary tsy nisy rano ho an’ ny miaramila sy ny biby fiompy izay nentiny.
10 And the king of Israel said, Here is trouble: for the Lord has got these three kings together to give them into the hands of Moab.
Dia hoy ny mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely: Indrisy! Jehovah efa niantso ireto mpanjaka telo ireto mba hatolony eo an-tànan’ i Moaba.
11 But Jehoshaphat said, Is there no prophet of the Lord here, through whom we may get directions from the Lord? And one of the king of Israel's men said in answer, Elisha, the son of Shaphat, is here, who was servant to Elijah.
Ary hoy Josafata: Tsy misy mpaminanin’ i Jehovah va eto hanontaniantsika amin’ i Jehovah? Ary nisy anankiray tamin’ ny mpanompon’ ny mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely namaly ka nanao hoe: Ato ihany Elisa, zanak’ i Safata, ilay mpanondra-drano ny tànan’ i Elia.
12 And Jehoshaphat said, The word of the Lord is with him. So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat and the king of Edom went down to him.
Ary hoy Josafata: Ao amin’ izy io tokoa ny tenin’ i Jehovah. Dia nidina nankany amin’ i Elisa ny mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely sy Josafata ary ny mpanjakan’ i Edoma.
13 But Elisha said to the king of Israel, What have I to do with you? go to the prophets of your father and your mother. And the king of Israel said, No; for the Lord has got these three kings together to give them up into the hands of Moab.
Ary hoy Elisa tamin’ ny mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely: Moa mifaninona akory izaho sy ianao? Mandehana any amin’ ny mpaminanin-drainao sy ny mpaminanin-dreninao ianao. Fa hoy ny mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely taminy: Tsia, fa Jehovah efa niantso ireto mpanjaka telo ireto mba hatolony eo an-tànan’ i Moaba.
14 Then Elisha said, By the life of the Lord of armies whose servant I am, if it was not for the respect I have for Jehoshaphat, king of Judah, I would not give a look at you, or see you.
Dia hoy Elisa: Raha velona koa Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro, Izay itsanganako eo anatrehany, raha tsy noho ny fanajako an’ i Josafata, mpanjakan’ ny Joda, dia tsy hanatrika anao na hijery anao akory aho.
15 But now, get me a player of music, and it will come about that while the man is playing, the hand of the Lord will come on me and I will give you the word of the Lord: and they got a player of music, and while the man was playing, the hand of the Lord was on him.
Nefa itondray mpitendry lokanga aho. Ary rehefa nitendry ilay mpitendry lokanga, dia nanindry an’ i Elisa ny tànan’ i Jehovah.
16 And he said, The Lord says, I will make this valley full of water-holes.
Ary hoy Elisa: Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah: Ataovy feno lavaka ity lohasahan-driaka ity.
17 For the Lord says, Though you see no wind or rain, the valley will be full of water, and you and your armies and your beasts will have drink.
Fa hoy Jehovah: Tsy hahita rivotra na ranonorana akory ianareo; nefa ho feno rano io lohasahan-driaka io, mba hosotroinareo, dia ianareo sy ny ombinareo ary ny biby fiompinareo.
18 And this will be only a small thing to the Lord: in addition he will give the Moabites into your hands.
Ary ho zavatra kely ihany eo imason’ i Jehovah izany; fa hanolotra ny Moabita eo an-tananareo koa Izy.
19 And you are to put every walled town to destruction, cutting down every good tree, and stopping up every water-spring, and making all the good land rough with stones.
Ary handrava ny tanàna mimanda rehetra sy ny tanàna soa rehetra ianareo sady hikapa ny hazo tsara rehetra sy hanampina ny loharano rehetra ary hanipy vato amin’ ny tany soa rehetra ho fanimbana azy.
20 Now in the morning, about the time when the offering was made, they saw water flowing from the direction of Edom till the country was full of water.
Ary nony maraina, tokony ho tamin’ ny fotoana fanaterana ny fanatitra, dia, indro, nisy rano tokoa tonga avy tamin’ ny lalana mankany Edoma, ka feno rano ny tany.
21 Now all Moab, hearing that the kings had come to make war against them, got together all who were able to take up arms and went forward to the edge of the country.
Ary rehefa ren’ ny Moabita rehetra fa avy miakatra hiady aminy ireo mpanjaka ireo, dia nivory izy hatramin’ izay rehetra nahatam-piadiana no ho miakatra, ka dia niandry teo amin’ ny sisin-taniny.
22 And early in the morning they got up, when the sun was shining on the water, and they saw the water facing them as red as blood.
Ary nony nifoha maraina koa ny Moabita, sady efa niposaka ny masoandro ka nitaratra tamin’ ny rano, dia hitany ny rano tandrifiny fa mena tahaka ny rà.
23 Then they said, This is blood: it is clear that destruction has come on the kings; they have been fighting one another: now come, Moab, let us take their goods.
Dia hoy izy: Rà io! efa nifandringana tokoa ireo mpanjaka ireo, ary efa nifamely izy rehetra; koa mamaboa amin’ izao, ry Moaba!
24 But when they came to the tents of Israel, the Israelites came out and made a violent attack on the Moabites, so that they went in flight before them; and they went forward still attacking them;
Kanjo nony efa tonga teo an-tobin’ ny Isiraely izy, dia nitsangana ny Isiraely ka namely ny Moabita, dia nandositra teo anoloany ireo; fa ny Isiraely niditra hatrany amin’ ny tanin’ ny Moabita ka mbola namely azy ihany.
25 Pulling down the towns, covering every good field with stones, stopping up all the water-springs, and cutting down all the good trees; they went on driving Moab before them till only in Kir-hareseth were there any Moabites; and the fighting-men went round the town raining stones on it.
Dia nandrava ny tanàna izy ary samy nanipy vato tamin’ ny tany soa rehetra ka nahafeno azy, ary nanampina ny loharano rehetra koa izy sady nikapa ny hazo tsara rehetra mandra-paha-tsy nisy vato intsony afa-tsy ny tao Kira-haresa ihany; ary na dia io aza dia nohodidinin’ ny mpandefa antsamotady ka nasiany.
26 And when the king of Moab saw that the fight was going against him, he took with him seven hundred men armed with swords, with the idea of forcing a way through to the king of Aram, but they were not able to do so.
Ary rehefa hitan’ ny mpanjakan’ i Moaba fa tsy tohany ny ady, dia nitondra fiton-jato lahy nahay sabatra nomba azy izy mba hanivakivaka hitsin’ ny mpanjakan’ i Edoma; nefa tsy afaka izy.
27 Then he took his oldest son, who would have been king after him, offering him as a burned offering on the wall. So there was great wrath against Israel; and they went away from him, back to their country.
Ary nalainy ny zanany lahimatoa, izay natao hanjaka handimby azy, ka nateriny ho fanatitra dorana teo ambonin’ ny manda. Dia niharan’ ny fahatezerana mafy ny Isiraely, dia niala taminy ary niverina ho any amin’ ny taniny izy.
