< 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.
Niorotse nifehe Israele e Some­rone ao t’Iehorame ana’ i Akabe amy taom-paha-folo-valo’ambi’ Iehosafate, mpanjaka’ Iehoday, vaho nifeleke folo-taoñe ro’ amby,
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.
nanao haratiañe am-pivazohoa’ Iehovà re fa tsy nanahak’ an-drae’e, tsy nañirinkiriñe an-drene’e, amy te songa sininto’e o sarem-Baale niranjien-drae’eo.
3 Nevertheless he cleaved to the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel to sin; he departed not from it.
Fe mbe nivontitire’e o tahi’ Iarovame ana’ i Nebateo, ie nampanan-kakeo Israele fa tsy nadò’e.
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.
Mpiarak’ añondry t’i Mesà mpanjaka’ i Moabe, vaho natolo’e amy mpanjaka’ Israeley ty vik’ añondry rai-hetse naho ty volon’ añondrilahy rai-hetse.
5 But it came to pass, when Ahab was dead, that the king of Moab rebelled against the king of Israel.
Fe naho fa nihomake t’i Akabe le niola amy mpanjaka’ Israeley ty mpanjaka’ i Moabe.
6 And king Jehoram went out of Samaria the same time, and numbered all Israel.
Niavotse i Somerone t’Iehorame mpanjaka henane zay le vinolili’e iaby t’Israele,
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.
vaho nañitrik’ am’ Ieho­safate mpanjaka’ Iehoda, ty hoe: Fa niola amako ty mpanjaka’ i Moabe; hindre lia amako haname i Moabe an-kotakotake v’iheo? Le hoe re: Hionjomb’ eo, hoe te ihe izaho, hoe ondati’oo ondatikoo, hoe soavala’o o soavalakoo.
8 And he said, Which way shall we go up? And he answered, The way through the wilderness of Edom.
Le hoe re, Hiary aia ty hionjonan-tika mb’eo? Le hoe ty natoi’e: Mb’amy lalañe miranga an-dratraratra’ i Edomey.
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.
Aa le nimb’eo i mpanjaka’ Israeley, naho i mpanjaka’ Iehoday, naho ty mpanjaka’ i Edome; fito andro ty niaria’ iareo tsy aman-drano ho a i valobohòkey ndra ho a o hare nañorikeo.
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!
Le hoe ty mpanjaka’ Israele! Hankàñe! toe kinanji’ Iehovà hifanontoñe o mpanjaka telo retoañe hanolora’e am-pità’ i Moabe.
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.
Fe hoe t’Iehosafate: Tsy amam-pitoki’ Iehovà hao ty atoañe hañontanean-tika am’ Iehovà? Le nanoiñe aze ty raik’ amo mpitoro’ i mpanjaka’ Israeleio, ami’ ty hoe: Atoa t’i Elisà ana’ i Sefate, i mpañilin-drano am-pità’ i Eliày.
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.
Le hoe t’Iehosafate, Ama’e ty tsara’ Iehovà. Aa le nizotso mb’ama’e mb’eo ty mpanjaka’ Israele naho Iehosafate, naho ty mpanjaka’ i Edome.
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.
Le hoe t’i Elisà amy mpanjaka’ Israeley: Inoñ’ ama’o raho? Akia mb’am-pitokin-drae’o naho mpitokin-drene’o añe. Le hoe ty mpanjaka’ Israele ama’e: Aiy! fa kinanji’ Iehovà hifanontoñe o mpanjaka telo retoañe hanolora’e am-pità’ i Moabe.
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.
Le hoe t’i Elisà, Kanao veloñe t’Iehovà’ i Màroy ijohañako, naho tsy nihaoñeko ty fiatrefa’ Iehosafate mpanjaka’ Iehoday, le toe tsy ho nitoliheko rehe, tsy ho nitreako.
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.
Indeso mpititike raho henaneo. Aa ie nititike i mpititikey le niheo ama’e ty fità’ Iehovà;
16 And he said, Thus saith the LORD, Make this valley full of ditches.
le hoe re, Hoe ty natoro’ Iehovà: Tsitsiho talahake ty vavatane toy.
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.
Fa hoe ty tsara’ Iehovà: Tsy hahaonin-tioke nahareo, tsy hahaisak’ orañe, fe ho atsa-drano ty vavatane toy vaho hitoho-drano, ie naho o añombe naho hare’ areoo.
18 And this is but a light thing in the sight of the LORD: he will deliver the Moabites also into your hand.
Toe maivañe am-pivazohoa’ Iehovà o raha zao; le hatolo’e am-pità’ areo ka o nte-Moabeo.
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.
Ho fofohe’ areo ze fonga rova aman-kijoly, naho ze hene rova soa, naho ho firae’ areo ze atao hatae soa, naho songa hazì’ areo ze rano manganahana, vaho sindre hampiantoe’ areo am-bato ze toetse an-tane soa.
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.
Ie maraindray, va’e amy fisoroñañey, le hehe te nihirike Edome ty rano vaho niatsa-drano i taney.
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.
Aa ie jinanji’ o hene nte-Moabeo te nionjomb’eo i mpanjaka rey hialia’e, le sindre nikanjieñe ze nahafiombe fikalañe naho o zoke’eo vaho nijohañe añ’efe-tane eo.
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:
Aa ie nañampitso te nitroatse, le nimilemiletse amy ranoy i àndroy, aa naho nioni’ o nte-Moabeo i rano eroy le hoe hamenan-dio;
23 And they said, This is blood: the kings are surely slain, and they have smitten one another: now therefore, Moab, to the spoil.
le hoe iereo: Lio ‘nio: vata’e nifandrapake o mpanjakao, vaho songa nifanjevo an-drañe’e t’indaty. Antao hikopake ry Moabe.
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.
Aa ie nivo­trak’ an-tobe’ Israele eo, nitroatse o nte-Israeleo nandihitse o nte-Moabeo, toly ndra nitriban-day nisitake am’iereo. Le linafa’ iareo an-kaozarañe ty tane’ i Moabe.
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.
Fonga rinotsa’ iareo mañambane o rovao; le songa ondaty nandretsake ty vato’e amy ze atao tane soa iaby; vaho natsafeñe; hene zinenje’ iareo ze rano manganahana, sindre finira’ iareo ze hatae soa; naho tsy i Kir’ karese avao ty nisisa mbe reketse kijoli-vato; aa le niarikoboñe aze o mpampipiletseo vaho dinemo’ iereo.
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.
Ie oni’ i mpanjaka’ i Moabey te loho nampangirifiry aze i hotakotakey, le rinambe’e t’indaty fiton-jato naha­fitarike fibara, hiboroboñake mb’amy mpanjaka’ i Edomey mb’eo f’ie tsy nahalefe.
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.
Rinambe’e amy zao ty tañoloñoloña’e ho nandimbe aze hifehe, vaho nisoroña’e ambone’ i kijoliy ey. Akore amy zao ty fitorifiha’ Israele kanao nienga, nimpoly mb’an-tane’ iareo añe.
