2 Kings 3
1 After Jehoshaphat had been ruling Judah for almost 18 years, Ahab’s son Joram became the king of Israel. He ruled in Samaria [city] for twelve years.
Ita, iti maikasangapulo ket walo a tawen ni Jehosafat nga ari ti Juda, nangrugi nga agturay ni Joram nga anak a lalaki ni Ahab iti Israel idiay Samaria; nagturay isuna iti sangapulo ket dua a tawen.
2 He did things that Yahweh considered to be evil, but he did not do as much evil as his father and mother had done, and he got rid of the pillar [for worshiping] Baal which his father had made.
Nagaramid isuna iti dakes iti imatang ni Yahweh, ngem saan a kas iti amana ken iti inana; ta inikkatna ti nasagradoan nga adigi a bato ni Baal nga inaramid ti amana.
3 But he committed the sins that [King] Jeroboam had committed and which led the Israeli people to sin, and he did not stop committing those sins.
Nupay kasta, kimpet latta isuna kadagiti basol ni Jeroboam nga anak a lalaki ni Nebat, a nakaigapuan ti Israel a nagbasol; saan isuna a timmallikod kadagitoy.
4 Mesha, the king of Moab, raised sheep. [Every year] he was forced to give 100,000 lambs and the wool from 100,000 rams to the king of Israel, [because his kingdom was controlled by the king of Israel].
Ita, ni Mesa nga ari ti Moab ket agtartaraken kadagiti karnero. Nasken a mangted isuna iti ari ti Israel iti 100, 000 a kalakian a karnero ken ti de lana ti 100, 000 nga urbon a karnero.
5 But after King Ahab died, Mesha rebelled against the king of Israel.
Ngem kalpasan a natay ni Ahab, bimmusor ti ari ti Moab iti ari ti Israel.
6 So King Joram left Samaria and gathered together all his soldiers.
Isu a pinanawan ni Ari Joram ti Samaria iti dayta a tiempo tapno ummongenna ti entero nga Israel a makigubat.
7 Then he sent this message to Jehoshaphat, the king of Judah: “The king of Moab has rebelled against me. So will your army join my army and fight against the army of Moab?” Jehoshaphat replied, “Yes, we will help you. We are ready to do whatever you want us to. My soldiers and my horses are ready to help you.”
Nangipatulod isuna iti mensahe kenni Jehosafat nga ari ti Juda, a mangibagbaga, “bimmusor ti ari ti Moab kaniak. Kaduaennak kadi a manggubat iti Moab?” Simmungbat ni Jehosafat, “Umayak. Kaslaak met laeng kenka, dagiti tattaok a kas kadagiti tattaom, dagiti kabaliok a kas kadagiti kabaliom.”
8 He asked, “On which road shall we march to attack them?” Joram replied, “We will go [south to Jerusalem, where your army will join us. Then we will all go south of the Dead Sea, and then turn north] through the Edom Desert.”
Ket kinunana, “Sadino a dalan ti mabalintayo a pangrautan?” Simmungbat ni Jehosafat, “Iti dalan iti let-ang ti Edom.”
9 So the king of Israel [and his army] went with the kings of Judah and Edom [and their armies]. They marched for seven days. Then there was no water left for their soldiers or for their animals that carried supplies.
Isu a nagna dagiti ari ti Israel, Juda ken Edom iti pito nga aldaw. Awan ti nasarakanda a danum para iti armadada, para kadagiti kabalioda ken kadagiti dadduma nga ayupda.
10 The king of Israel exclaimed, “This is a terrible situation! [It seems that] Yahweh will allow the three of us to be captured by [the army of] [MTY] Moab!”
Isu a kinuna ti ari ti Israel, “Ania daytoy? Pinagtitipon kadi ni Yahweh ti tallo nga ari tapno parmekennatayo ti Moab?”
11 Jehoshaphat said, “Is there a prophet here who can ask Yahweh for us [what we should do]?” One of Joram’s army officers said, “Elisha, the son of Shaphat, is here. He was Elijah’s assistant.” [IDM]
Ngem kinuna ni Jehosafat, “Awan kadi ditoy iti profeta ni Yahweh, a mabalintayo a pakiumanan kenni Yahweh?” Maysa kadagiti adipen ti ari ti Israel ti simmungbat ket kinunana, “Adda ditoy ni Eliseo nga anak ni Sapat, ti nangibuyat ti danum iti ima ni Elias.”
12 Jehoshaphat said, “[It will be good to ask him, because] he speaks what Yahweh tells him to say.” So those three kings went to Elisha.
Kinuna ni Jehosafat, “Adda kenkuana ti sao ni Yahweh.” Isu a napan ti ari ti Israel, ni Jehosafat, ken ti ari ti Edom a napan kenkuana.
13 Elisha said to the king of Israel, “Why do you come to me [RHQ]? Go and ask those prophets that your father and mother consulted!” But Joram replied, “No, [we want you to ask Yahweh, because it seems that] Yahweh is going to allow us three kings to be captured by the army of Moab.”
Kinuna ni Eliseo iti ari ti Israel, “Ania ti pakibiangak kenka? Mapanka kadagiti profeta ti ama ken inam.” Isu kinuna ti ari ti Israel kenkuana, “Saan, gapu ta pinagtitiponnakami ni Yahweh a tallo nga ari, tapno parmekennakami ti Moab.”
14 Elisha replied, “I serve Yahweh, the commander of the armies of angels in heaven. As surely as he lives, if I did not respect Jehoshaphat the king of Judah, I would not even think about doing anything to help you.
“Simmungbat ni Eliseo, “Iti nagan ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin-amin, a pagtaktakderak, sigurado a no saanko a raraemen ti presensia ni Jehosafat nga ari ti Juda, saanka a pulos nga ipangag, wenno uray kumita kenka.
15 But, bring a musician to me.” [So they did that]. And when the musician played [on his harp], the power of Yahweh came on Elisha.
Ngem ita, mangiyegkayo kaniak iti tumutokar, “Ket napasamak, idi nagtukar ti tumutokar iti arpa, immay ti pannakabalin ni Yahweh kenni Eliseo.
16 He said, “Yahweh says that he will cause this dry stream-bed to be full of water.
Kinunana, “Ibagbaga ni Yahweh daytoy, 'Agkalikayo kadagiti kanal iti daytoy a namaga a karayan ti tay-ak.'
17 The result will be that your soldiers and your animals that carry supplies and your livestock will have plenty of water to drink.
Ta kastoy ti ibagbaga ni Yahweh, 'Saankayonto a makakita iti angin, wenno makakita iti tudo, ngem mapnonto iti danum daytoy a karayan ti tay-ak, ket uminumkayonto, dakayo ken dagiti dingwenyo ken dagiti amin nga ayupyo.'
18 That is not difficult for Yahweh to do. [But he will do more than that]. He will also enable you to defeat [the army of] Moab.
Nalaka laeng daytoy a banag iti imatang ni Yahweh. Pagballigiennakayonto pay kadagiti Moabita.
19 You will conquer all their beautiful cities, cities that have high walls around them. You must cut down all their fruit trees, stop water from flowing from their springs, and ruin their fertile fields by covering them with rocks.”
Rautenyonto ti tunggal nasarikedkedan a siudad ken tunggal napintas a siudad, pukanenyonto ti tunggal kayo nga agbunga, pullatanyonto dagiti amin nga ubbog, ken dadaelenyonto ti tunggal paset ti nadam-eg a daga babaen kadagiti batbato.”
20 The next morning, at the time when they offered the sacrifices [of grain], they were surprised to see water flowing from Edom and covering the ground.
Isu nga iti agsapa, iti tiempo ti panangidatag iti daton, nagayus ti danum nga aggapu iti Edom; nalapunos ti daga iti danum.
21 When the people of Moab heard that the three kings had come [with their armies] to fight against them, all the men who were able to fight in battles, from the youngest men to the oldest ones, were summoned, and they (took their positions/prepared to fight) at the [southern] border of their land.
Ita, idi nangngeg dagiti amin a Moabita nga umay makiranget dagiti ari kadakuada, nagguummongda, dagiti amin a makabael a mangisuot iti kabal, ket nagtakderda iti pagbeddengan.
22 But when they rose early the next morning, they saw that the water across from them appeared to be as red as blood.
Nagriingda a nasapa iti bigat ket nasilnagan iti init ti danum. Idi nakita dagiti Moabita ti danum nga adda iti batogda, a nalabbaga a kas iti dara.
23 They exclaimed, “It is blood! The three enemy armies must have fought and killed each other! So let’s go and take everything that they have left!”
Impukkawda, “Dara daytoy! Nadadaelen dagiti ari, ket nagpipinnatayda iti tunggal maysa! Isu nga ita, Moab, intayo agsamsam kadakuada!”
24 But when they reached the area where the Israeli soldiers had set up their tents, the Israelis attacked the soldiers from Moab and forced them to retreat. The Israeli soldiers pursued the soldiers from Moab and killed many of them.
Idi nakadanonda iti kampo ti Israel, kinellaat ida dagiti Israelita ket dinarupda dagiti Moabita, a nagtataray manipud kadakuada. Kinamat ti armada ti Israel dagiti Moabita agingga iti kabangibang a daga, ket pinapatayda ida.
25 The Israelis also destroyed their cities. And whenever they passed fertile fields, they threw rocks on those fields, until the fields were covered with rocks. They stopped water from flowing from the springs and cut down the fruit trees. Finally, only [the capital city, ] Kir-Hareseth, remained. The Israeli soldiers who threw stones with slings surrounded the city and attacked it.
Dinadael ti Israel dagiti siudad, ken nangipurruak ti tunggal tao iti bato kadagiti nasayaat a paset ti daga ket pinunnoda dagiti nadam-eg a taltalon. Pinullatanda dagiti amin nga ubbog ken pinukanda dagiti amin a nasasayaat a kayo, malaksid laeng iti Kir Hareset, a napaderan kadagiti batbato. Ngem rinaut daytoy dagiti soldado a nakaigam kadagiti pallatibong.
26 When the king of Moab realized that his army was being defeated, he took with him 700 men who fought with swords, and they tried to force a way through the Israeli lines of soldiers to escape to [get help from] the king of Syria, but they were unable to escape.
Idi nakita ni Ari Mesa iti Moab a naabakdan iti gubat, inkuyogna ti pito gasut a mannakigubat a nakakampilan tapno makalasatda a mapan iti ari ti Edom, ngem saanda a nagballigi.
27 Then the king of Moab took his oldest son, who would have become the next king, and killed him and offered him for a sacrifice [to their god Chemosh], burning him on top of the city wall. The Israeli soldiers were horrified, with the result that they left that city and returned to their own country.
Ket innalana ti inauna nga anakna, a sumaruno koma kenkuana nga agturay, ket indatonna isuna a kas daton a mapuoran iti pader. Isu a naadda ti nakaro a pungtot a maibusor iti Israel, ket pinanawan ti armada ti Israel ni Ari Mesa ket nagsublida kadagiti bukodda a daga.
