1 Ar-ari 20
1 Inummong ni Ben Hadad nga ari ti Aram iti amin nga armadana; adda tallopulo ket dua a basbassit ti iturturayanna nga ar-ari a kaduana, ken dagiti kabalio ken karwahe. Napan isuna, pinalawlawanda ti Samaria, ket nakirangetda.
Ben Hadad the king of Syria gathered all his army together; and there were thirty-two kings with him, with horses and chariots. He went up and besieged Samaria, and fought against it.
2 Nangibaon isuna kadagiti mensahero a mapan iti siudad kenni Ahab nga ari ti Israel, ket kinunada kenkuana, “Pinaibaga ni Ben Hadad daytoy:
He sent messengers into the city to Ahab king of Israel and said to him, “Ben Hadad says,
3 'Kukuak ti pirak ken balitokmo. Kasta met dagiti assawa ken annakmo, dagiti kasasayaatan, ket kukuak itan.'”
‘Your silver and your gold are mine. Your wives also and your children, even the best, are mine.’”
4 Insungbat ti ari ti Israel ket kinunana, “Matungpal ti imbagam, amok, nga ari. Siak ken amin nga adda kaniak ket kukuam.”
The king of Israel answered, “It is according to your saying, my lord, O king. I am yours, and all that I have.”
5 Immay manen dagiti mensahero ket kinunada, “Pinaibaga ni Ben Hadad daytoy, 'Nangipatulodak kenka iti sao a mangibagbaga a nasken nga iyawatmo kaniak ti pirakmo, ti balitokmo, dagiti assawam, ken dagiti annakmo.
The messengers came again and said, “Ben Hadad says, ‘I sent indeed to you, saying, “You shall deliver me your silver, your gold, your wives, and your children;
6 Ngem ibaonkonto kenka dagiti adipenko inton bigat iti kastoy met laeng nga oras, ket sukimatendanto ti balaymo ken dagiti balay dagiti adipenmo. Alaen ken ipanawdanto ti aniaman a makaay-ayo iti imatangda.”'
but I will send my servants to you tomorrow about this time, and they will search your house and the houses of your servants. Whatever is pleasant in your eyes, they will put it in their hand, and take it away.”’”
7 Ket pinaayaban ti ari ti Israel dagiti amin a panglakayen ti daga ket kinunana, ““Pangngaasiyo ta tandaanan ken kitaenyo no kasano nga agbirbirok iti riribuk daytoy a tao. Nangipatulod isuna iti sao kaniak tapno alaenna dagiti assawak, dagiti annakko, ken ti pirak, ken balitok, ket saanak a nagkedked kenkuana.”
Then the king of Israel called all the elders of the land, and said, “Please notice how this man seeks mischief; for he sent to me for my wives, and for my children, and for my silver, and for my gold; and I didn’t deny him.”
8 Kinuna dagiti amin a panglakayen ken dagiti amin a tattao kenni Ahab, “Saanka a dumngeg kenkuana wenno patgan ti dawdawatenna.
All the elders and all the people said to him, “Don’t listen, and don’t consent.”
9 Kinuna ngarud ni Ahab kadagiti mensahero ni Ben Hadad, “Ibagayo iti amok nga ari, 'Umanamongak iti amin nga immuna nga impaibagam iti adipenmo nga aramiden, ngem saanko a mapatgan daytoy maikadua a kiddawmo.”' Pimmanaw ngarud dagiti mensahero ket indanonda daytoy a sungbat kenni Ben Hadad.
Therefore he said to the messengers of Ben Hadad, “Tell my lord the king, ‘All that you sent for to your servant at the first I will do, but this thing I cannot do.’” The messengers departed and brought him back the message.
10 Ket impatulod ni Ben Hadad kadagiti mensaherona ti sungbatna kenni Ahab, ket kinunana, “Patayendak koma dagiti dios ken ad-adda pay iti dakes nga aramidenda kaniak, no uray dagiti dapo iti Samaria ket umanayto a rakemen dagiti tattao a sumursurot kaniak.”
Ben Hadad sent to him, and said, “The gods do so to me, and more also, if the dust of Samaria will be enough for handfuls for all the people who follow me.”
11 Insungbat ti ari ti Israel ket kinunana, “Ibagam kenni Ben Hadad, 'Awan ti siasinoman nga agpangas a mangisusuot pay laeng iti kabalna a kasla us-usubennan daytoy.'”
The king of Israel answered, “Tell him, ‘Don’t let him who puts on his armor brag like he who takes it off.’”
12 Nangngeg ni Ben Hadad daytoy a mensahe bayat nga agin-inom isuna, ken dagiti ari iti babaenna nga adda kadagiti toldada. Binilin ni Ben Hadad dagiti tattaona, “Agsaganakayo para iti gubat.” Nagsaganada ngarud a makigubat tapno rautenda ti siudad.
When Ben Hadad heard this message as he was drinking, he and the kings in the pavilions, he said to his servants, “Prepare to attack!” So they prepared to attack the city.
13 Ket adtoy, immay ti maysa a profeta kenni Ahab nga ari ti Israel ket kinunana. “Ibagbaga ni Yahweh, 'Makitam kadi daytoy nabileg nga armada? Kitaem, iyawatko kenka ita nga aldaw, ket maammoamto a siak ni Yahweh.”'
Behold, a prophet came near to Ahab king of Israel, and said, “The LORD says, ‘Have you seen all this great multitude? Behold, I will deliver it into your hand today. Then you will know that I am the LORD.’”
14 Insungbat ni Ahab, “Siasino ti mangparmek?” Insungbat ni Yahweh ket kinunana, “Babaen kadagiti agtutubo nga opisial nga agserserbi kadagiti gobernador dagiti distrito.” Ket kinuna ni Ahab, “Siasino ti mangirugi iti gubat?” Simmungbat ni Yahweh, “Sika.”
Ahab said, “By whom?” He said, “The LORD says, ‘By the young men of the princes of the provinces.’” Then he said, “Who shall begin the battle?” He answered, “You.”
15 Ket inummong ni Ahab dagiti agtutubo nga opisial nga agserserbi kadagiti gobernador dagiti distrito. Dua gasut ken tallopulo ket dua ti bilangda. Kalpasanda, inummongna met amin a soldado, amin ti armada ti Israel, pito ribu amin ti bilangda.
Then he mustered the young men of the princes of the provinces, and they were two hundred and thirty-two. After them, he mustered all the people, even all the children of Israel, being seven thousand.
16 Rimmuarda iti katengngaan ti aldaw. Madama nga agbarbartek ni Ben Hadad iti toldana, kaduana dagiti tallopulo ket dua a basbassit ti iturturayanna nga ar-ari a mangtultulong kenkuana.
They went out at noon. But Ben Hadad was drinking himself drunk in the pavilions, he and the kings, the thirty-two kings who helped him.
17 Immuna a napan dagiti agtutubo nga opisial nga agserserbi kadagiti gobernador dagiti distrito. Ket napakaammoan ni Ben Hadad babaen kadagiti agsawsawar nga imbaonna, “Um-umay dagiti lallaki a naggapu iti Samaria.”
The young men of the princes of the provinces went out first; and Ben Hadad sent out, and they told him, saying, “Men are coming out from Samaria.”
18 Kinuna ni Ben Hadad, “Tiliwenyo ida a sibibiag uray no umayda a makikapia wenno makigubat.”
He said, “If they have come out for peace, take them alive; or if they have come out for war, take them alive.”
19 Rimmuar ngarud iti siudad dagiti agtutubo nga opisial nga agserserbi kadagiti gobernador dagiti distrito, ket sinurot ida ti armada.
So these went out of the city, the young men of the princes of the provinces, and the army which followed them.
20 Pinatay ti tunggal maysa ti kabusorna, ket naglibas dagiti taga-Aram; kinamat ida ti Israel. Nagkabalio a naglibas ni Ben Hadad nga ari ti Aram a kaduana dagiti sumagmamano a nakakabalio.
They each killed his man. The Syrians fled, and Israel pursued them. Ben Hadad the king of Syria escaped on a horse with horsemen.
21 Ket rimmuar ti ari ti Israel ken dinarupna dagiti nakakabalio ken nakakarwahe, ket adu ti pinapatayna a taga- Aram.
The king of Israel went out and struck the horses and chariots, and killed the Syrians with a great slaughter.
22 Isu nga immay ti maysa a profeta iti ari ti Israel ket kinunana kenkuana, “Mapanka, papigsaem ti bagim, ket adalem ken planoem ti aramidem, gapu ta iti sumaruno a tawen agsubli manen ti ari ti Aram a bumusor kenka.”
The prophet came near to the king of Israel and said to him, “Go, strengthen yourself, and plan what you must do, for at the return of the year, the king of Syria will come up against you.”
23 Kinuna kenkuana dagiti adipen ti ari ti Aram, “Ti diosda ket dios ti katurturodan. Isu a napigpigsada ngem datayo. Ngem ita makirangettayo kadakuada iti patad, ket awan dua dua a sadiay, napigpigsatayo ngem isuda.
The servants of the king of Syria said to him, “Their god is a god of the hills; therefore they were stronger than we. But let’s fight against them in the plain, and surely we will be stronger than they.
24 Ket aramidem pay daytoy: ikkatem dagiti ari, tunggal maysa iti idadauloanna, ket sukatam ida kadagiti kapitan ti armada.
Do this thing: take the kings away, every man out of his place, and put captains in their place.
25 Mangbuangayka iti armada a kas iti armada a napukawmo, kabalio iti kabalio ken karwahe iti karwahe, ket makirangettayo kadakuada iti patad. Ket awan dua dua a napigpigsatayo ngem isuda.” Demngeg ngarud ni Ben Hadad iti balakadda ket inaramidna ti insingasingda.
Muster an army like the army that you have lost, horse for horse and chariot for chariot. We will fight against them in the plain, and surely we will be stronger than they are.” He listened to their voice and did so.
26 Iti sumaruno a tawen, inummong ni Ben Hadad dagiti taga-Aram ket napanda idiay Afek tapno makirangetda iti Israel.
At the return of the year, Ben Hadad mustered the Syrians and went up to Aphek to fight against Israel.
27 Nagu-ummong dagiti tattao ti Israel ket naipaay kadakuada dagiti banbanag a kasapulanda a makiranget kadagiti taga-Aram. Nagkampo dagiti tattao ti Israel iti sangoananda a kasla dua a babassit nga arban dagiti kalding, ngem pinunno dagiti taga-Aram ti away.
The children of Israel were mustered and given provisions, and went against them. The children of Israel encamped before them like two little flocks of young goats, but the Syrians filled the country.
28 Ket immasideg ti maysa a tao ti Dios ket nakitungtong iti ari ti Israel a kunana, “Ibagbaga ni Yahweh: 'Gapu ta imbaga dagiti taga-Aram a ni Yahweh ket dios dagiti turod, ngem saan isuna a dios dagiti tanap, iyawatko daytoy nabileg nga armada kadagita imam, ket maammoamto a Siak ni Yahweh.”'
A man of God came near and spoke to the king of Israel, and said, “The LORD says, ‘Because the Syrians have said, “The LORD is a god of the hills, but he is not a god of the valleys,” therefore I will deliver all this great multitude into your hand, and you shall know that I am the LORD.’”
29 Nagkampo ngarud a nagsinnango dagiti armada iti pito nga aldaw. Ket iti maikapito nga aldaw nangrugin ti gubat. Pinapatay dagiti tattao ti Israel ti sangagasut a ribu a soldado dagiti taga-Aram iti maysa laeng nga aldaw.
They encamped opposite each other for seven days. Then on the seventh day the battle was joined; and the children of Israel killed one hundred thousand footmen of the Syrians in one day.
30 Naglibas dagiti nabatbati idiay Afek, iti siudad, ket narba a naigabur ti pader kadagiti dua pulo ket pito a ribu a nabatbati a lallaki. Naglibas ni Ben Hadad ket napan iti siudad, iti akin uneg a siled.
But the rest fled to Aphek, into the city; and the wall fell on twenty-seven thousand men who were left. Ben Hadad fled and came into the city, into an inner room.
31 Kinuna dagiti adipen ni Ben Hadad kenkuana, “Dumngegka, nangngegmi a dagiti ari iti balay ti Israel ket manangngaasi nga ar-ari. Pangngaasim ta palubosanakami a mangibidang iti nakirsang a lupot ken bedbedanmi iti tali ti ulomi, ket mapankami iti ari ti Israel. Barbareng no saannaka a papatayen.”
His servants said to him, “See now, we have heard that the kings of the house of Israel are merciful kings. Please let us put sackcloth on our bodies and ropes on our heads, and go out to the king of Israel. Maybe he will save your life.”
32 Nangibidangda ngarud iti nakirsang a lupot ken binedbedanda ti uloda iti tali ket napanda iti ari ti Israel ket kinunada, “Imbaga ti adipenmo a ni Ben Hadad, 'Pangngaasim ta palubusannak nga agbiag.”' Kinuna ni Ahab, “Sibibiag pay kadi isuna? Kabsatko isuna.”
So they put sackcloth on their bodies and ropes on their heads, and came to the king of Israel, and said, “Your servant Ben Hadad says, ‘Please let me live.’” He said, “Is he still alive? He is my brother.”
33 Ita dumdumngeg dagiti lallaki iti aniaman a pagilasinan manipud kenni Ahab, isu nga insungbatda a dagus kenkuana, “Wen, sibibiag ti kabsatmo a ni Ben Hadad.” Ket kinuna ni Ahab, “Mapankayo ket iyegyo isuna.” Ket napan ni Ben Hadad kenkuana, ket pinaglugan isuna ni Ahab iti karwahena.
Now the men observed diligently and hurried to take this phrase; and they said, “Your brother Ben Hadad.” Then he said, “Go, bring him.” Then Ben Hadad came out to him; and he caused him to come up into the chariot.
34 Kinuna ni Ben Hadad kenni Ahab, “Isublik kenka dagiti siudad nga inagaw ti amak iti amam, ket mabalinmo iti aglako idiay Damasco, a kas iti inaramid ti amak idiay Samaria. Insungbat ni Ahab, “Palubosanka babaen iti daytoy a katulagan.” Nakitulag ngarud ni Ahab kenkuana ket kalpasanna pinalubosanna isuna a mapan.
Ben Hadad said to him, “The cities which my father took from your father I will restore. You shall make streets for yourself in Damascus, as my father made in Samaria.” “I”, said Ahab, “will let you go with this covenant.” So he made a covenant with him and let him go.
35 Adda maysa a lalaki, maysa kadagiti annak a lallaki dagiti profeta, a kinunana iti padana a profeta babaen iti sao ni Yahweh, “Pangngaasim ta kabilennak.” Ngem nagkedked ti lalaki a mangkabil kenkuana.
A certain man of the sons of the prophets said to his fellow by the LORD’s word, “Please strike me!” The man refused to strike him.
36 Ket kinuna ti profeta iti padana a profeta, “Gapu ta saanka a nagtulnog iti timek ni Yahweh, apaman a panawannak, patayennakanto ti maysa a leon.” Ket apaman a pinanawan isuna dayta a tao, nasarakan isuna ti leon ket pinatay isuna ti leon.
Then he said to him, “Because you have not obeyed the LORD’s voice, behold, as soon as you have departed from me, a lion will kill you.” As soon as he had departed from him, a lion found him and killed him.
37 Ket nakasarak ti profeta iti sabali pay a tao ket kinunana, “Pangngaasim ta kabilennak.” Isu a kinabil isuna ti lalaki ket sinugatanna isuna.
Then he found another man, and said, “Please strike me.” The man struck him and wounded him.
38 Ket pimmanaw ti profeta ket inurayna ti ari iti igid ti dalan; nanglimlimo isuna nga adda bedbed iti ngatoen dagiti matana.
So the prophet departed and waited for the king by the way, and disguised himself with his headband over his eyes.
39 Idi lumabasen ti ari, pinukkawan ti profeta ti ari ket kinunana, “Napan ti adipenmo iti kangitingitan ti gubat, ket nagsardeng iti maysa a soldado ket inyegna ti maysa a kabusor kaniak ket kinunana, 'Bantayam daytoy a tao. No mapukaw daytoy iti aniaman a wagas, ti biagmo ngarud ti kasukat ti biagna, wenno agmultaka iti maysa a talento ti pirak.'
As the king passed by, he cried to the king, and he said, “Your servant went out into the middle of the battle; and behold, a man came over and brought a man to me, and said, ‘Guard this man! If by any means he is missing, then your life shall be for his life, or else you shall pay a talent of silver.’
40 Ngem gapu ta adu ti pakakumikoman ti adipenmo, nakalibas ti kabusor a soldado.” Ket kinuna ti ari ti Israel kenkuana, “Daytoyto ti dusam-sika a mismo ti nangikeddeng iti daytoy.”
As your servant was busy here and there, he was gone.” The king of Israel said to him, “So shall your judgment be. You yourself have decided it.”
41 Inikkat a dagus ti profeta ti bedbed dagiti matana, ket nabigbig ti ari ti Israel nga isuna ket maysa kadagiti profeta.
He hurried, and took the headband away from his eyes; and the king of Israel recognized that he was one of the prophets.
42 Kinuna ti profeta iti ari, “Ibagbaga ni Yahweh, 'Gapu ta pinalubosam ti tao nga inkeddengko a matay, ti biagmo ti kasukat ti biagna, ken dagiti tattaom kadagiti tattaona.'”
He said to him, “The LORD says, ‘Because you have let go out of your hand the man whom I had devoted to destruction, therefore your life will take the place of his life, and your people take the place of his people.’”
43 Napan ngarud ti ari ti Israel iti balayna a nasakit ti nakemna ken makapungtot, ket nakasangpet idiay Samaria.
The king of Israel went to his house sullen and angry, and came to Samaria.
