2 Kings 3
1 Now Jehoram the son of Ahab began to reign over Israel in Samaria in the eighteenth year of Jehoshaphat king of Judah, and reigned twelve years.
Joram wuod Ahab nobedo ruodh Israel e piny Samaria e higa mar apar gaboro mar kinde loch Jehoshafat ruodh Juda kendo nobedo e loch higni apar gariyo.
2 And he wrought evil in the sight of the LORD; but not like his father, and like his mother: for he put away the image of Baal that his father had made.
Ne otimo richo e wangʼ Jehova Nyasaye, to ok kaka wuon kod min notimo. Noketho kido milamo mar Baal mane wuon oseloso.
3 Nevertheless he cleaved to the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel to sin; he departed not from it.
Kata kamano ne osiko e richo mar Jeroboam wuod Nebat, mane omiyogo jo-Israel odonjo e richo; kendo ne ok oweyogi kata matin.
4 And Mesha king of Moab was a sheepmaster, and rendered to the king of Israel an hundred thousand lambs, and an hundred thousand rams, with the wool.
Mesha ruodh Moab ne japith rombe, kendo ne ojagolo osuru ne ruodh Israel maromo nyirombe alufu mia achiel kod yie imbe maromo alufu mia achiel.
5 But it came to pass, when Ahab was dead, that the king of Moab rebelled against the king of Israel.
To bangʼ tho Ahab, ruodh Moab nongʼanyo ne ruodh Israel.
6 And king Jehoram went out of Samaria the same time, and numbered all Israel.
Omiyo Ruoth Joram noa Samaria mochoko jo-Israel duto.
7 And he went and sent to Jehoshaphat the king of Judah, saying, The king of Moab hath rebelled against me: wilt thou go with me against Moab to battle? And he said, I will go: I am as thou art, my people as thy people, and my horses as thy horses.
Bende nooro wach ni Jehoshafat ruodh Juda kowachone niya, “Ruodh Moab osengʼanyona. Bende diyie dhi koda mondo waked kodgi?” Nodwoko niya, “Abiro dhi kodi. An mana kaka in, joga gin kaka jogi, kendo faresena gin kaka faresegi.”
8 And he said, Which way shall we go up? And he answered, The way through the wilderness of Edom.
Nopenjo niya, “Wadhi monje koa kon mane?” Nodwoke niya, “Ka wangʼado e piny ongoro mar Edom.”
9 So the king of Israel went, and the king of Judah, and the king of Edom: and they made a circuit of seven days’ journey: and there was no water for the army, and for the cattle that followed them.
Eka ruodh Israel nowuok ka gin kod ruodh Juda kendo gi ruodh Ekron e piny Edom. Kane giselworore kuom ndalo abiriyo, jolweny ne onge gi pi mar modho kata mag jamni mane oyudo gin-go.
10 And the king of Israel said, Alas! that the LORD hath called these three kings together, to deliver them into the hand of Moab!
Ruodh Israel nopenjore niya, “Angʼo matimoreni! Jehova Nyasaye osekelowa ka ruodhi adekgi duto mondo ochiw-wa e lwet Moab?”
11 But Jehoshaphat said, Is there not here a prophet of the LORD, that we may enquire of the LORD by him? And one of the king of Israel’s servants answered and said, Here is Elisha the son of Shaphat, who poured water on the hands of Elijah.
Jehoshafat nopenjo niya, “Onge janabi mar Jehova Nyasaye ka mondo, mi wapenje wach mar Jehova Nyasaye?” Jatelo mar ruodh Israel nodwoke niya, “Elisha wuod Shafat mane tiyone Elija nika.”
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.
Jehoshafat nowacho niya, “Jalno en ngʼat man-gi wach Jehova Nyasaye.” Omiyo ruodh Israel, Jehoshafat kod ruodh Edom nolor modhi ire.
13 And Elisha said to the king of Israel, What have I to do with thee? go to the prophets of thy father, and to the prophets of thy mother. And the king of Israel said to him, Nay: for the LORD hath called these three kings together, to deliver them into the hand of Moab.
Elisha nopenjo ruodh Israel niya, “Angʼo madikelwa kaachiel?” Dhiuru ir jonabi mag wuonu kod minu. Ruodh Israel nodwoke niya, “Ooyo, Jehova Nyasaye ema osekelowa wan ruodhi adek kanyakla mondo ochiw-wa e lwet jo-Moab.”
14 And Elisha said, As the LORD of hosts liveth, before whom I stand, surely, were it not that I regard the presence of Jehoshaphat the king of Judah, I would not look toward thee, nor see thee.
Elisha nowacho niya, “Akwongʼora gi nying Jehova Nyasaye Maratego ma atiyone, ni ka dine bed ni ok ageno Jehoshafat ruodh Juda, to dine ok ayudo thuolo mar wuoyo kodi kata dewi
15 But now bring me a minstrel. And it came to pass, when the minstrel played, that the hand of the LORD came upon him.
To koro kelnauru ngʼat magoyo nyatiti.” Kane oyudo ogoyo nyatiti teko mar Jehova Nyasaye ne obiro ir Elisha,
16 And he said, Thus saith the LORD, Make this valley full of ditches.
mowacho niya, “Jehova Nyasaye wacho kama: Kunyuru buche mathoth e holoni.
17 For thus saith the LORD, Ye shall not see wind, neither shall ye see rain; yet that valley shall be filled with water, that ye may drink, both ye, and your cattle, and your beasts.
Nimar ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye wacho: Ok unuwinj yamo kata neno koth, to kata kamano holoni biro pongʼ gi pi kendo un, jambu, gi chiayo mamoko nomodh ka.
18 And this is but a light thing in the sight of the LORD: he will deliver the Moabites also into your hand.
Ma en gima yot ahinya e wangʼ Jehova Nyasaye, nimar jo-Moab obiro chiwo e lwetu.
19 And ye shall smite every fortified city, and every choice city, and shall fell every good tree, and stop all wells of water, and mar every good piece of land with stones.
Ubiro loyo mier madongo mochiel motegno kod mier mamoko duto. Ubiro tongʼo yiende mabeyo duto, unudin sokni kendo unupongʼ puothe mabeyo gi kite.”
20 And it came to pass in the morning, when the meat offering was offered, that, behold, there came water by the way of Edom, and the country was filled with water.
Kinyne gokinyi, kar seche mitimoe misango, pi nobiro koa yo Edom kendo gwengʼno notimo pi lilo.
21 And when all the Moabites heard that the kings were come up to fight against them, they gathered all that were able to put on armour, and upward, and stood in the border.
Jo-Moab duto nowinjo ni ruodhi ka osebiro mondo oked kodgi, omiyo ngʼato ka ngʼato, obed ngʼat matin kata ngʼat maduongʼ mane nyalo tingʼo gige lweny noluongi mi oketi e tongʼ.
22 And they rose early in the morning, and the sun shone upon the water, and the Moabites saw the water on the other side as red as blood:
E seche mane gichiewo gokinyi mangʼich, chiengʼ ne rieny kendo ler mar chiengʼ ne nenore ewi pi. Jo-Moab mane ni loka machielo, ne pigno nenorenegi makwar ka remo.
23 And they said, This is blood: the kings are surely slain, and they have smitten one another: now therefore, Moab, to the spoil.
Negiwacho niya, “Macha remo! Nyaka bed ni ruodhigo osekedo kendgi giwegi monegore. Koro wadhi wayak Moab!”
24 And when they came to the camp of Israel, the Israelites rose and smote the Moabites, so that they fled before them: but they went forward smiting the Moabites, even in their country.
To ka jo-Moab nobiro e kambi mar Israel; jo-Israel nowuok mokedo kodgi nyaka negiringo. Omiyo jo-Israel nomonjo pinyno monego jo-Moab.
25 And they beat down the cities, and on every good piece of land cast every man his stone, and filled it; and they stopped all the wells of water, and felled all the good trees: only in Kirharaseth they left the stones of it; but the slingers went about it, and smote it.
Negiketho miech Moab kendo ngʼato ka ngʼato ne odiro kidi e puothe duto mabeyo nyaka kite nopongʼogi. Negidino sokni duto kendo negitingʼo yiende duto mabeyo. Kir Hareseth kendo ema ne odongʼ gi kitene kochungʼ, to ji man-gi orujre noluore mi omonje bende.
26 And when the king of Moab saw that the battle was too fierce for him, he took with him seven hundred men that drew swords, to break through to the king of Edom: but they could not.
Kane ruodh Moab oneno ka lweny loye, ne odhi gi ji mia abiriyo man kod ligangla, kotemo muomogo ruodh Edom mondo otony; to ne otamogi.
27 Then he took his eldest son that was to reign in his stead, and offered him for a burnt offering upon the wall. And there was great indignation against Israel: and they departed from him, and returned to their own land.
Kuom mano nokawo wuode makayo, mane onego okaw ruoth kare mi otimogo misango e kor ohinga mar dala maduongʼ. Mirima maduongʼ nomako jo-Israel; kendo mano nomiyo giweyo kedo kodgi mi gidok e pinygi.
