1 Ar-ari 22
1 Tallo a tawen ti naglabas nga awan ti gubat iti nagbaetan ti Aram ken Israel.
Then three years passed without war between Aram and Israel.
2 Ket napasamak nga iti maikatlo a tawen, napan ni Jehosafat nga ari ti Juda iti ari ti Israel.
However, in the third year, Jehoshaphat king of Judah went down to visit the king of Israel,
3 Ita, kinuna ti ari ti Israel kadagiti adipenna, “Ammoyo kadi a ti Ramot Galaad ket kukuatayo, ngem awan ti ar-aramidentayo tapno maalatayo daytoy manipud iti ima ti ari ti Aram?”
who said to his servants, “Do you not know that Ramoth-gilead is ours, but we have failed to take it from the hand of the king of Aram?”
4 Isu a kinunana kenni Jehosafat, “Kaduaannak kadi a maki-gubat idiay Ramot Galaad?” Simmungbat ni Jehosafat iti ari ti Israel, “Agserbiak kenka, agbalin dagiti tattaok a tattaom, ken dagiti kabaliok a kabaliom.”
So he asked Jehoshaphat, “Will you go with me to fight against Ramoth-gilead?” Jehoshaphat answered the king of Israel, “I am like you, my people are your people, and my horses are your horses.”
5 Kinuna ni Jehosafat iti ari ti Israel, “Pangaasim ta kiddawem ti panangidalan manipud iti sao ni Yahweh no ania ti rumbeng nga aramidem nga umuna.”
But Jehoshaphat also said to the king of Israel, “Please inquire first for the word of the LORD.”
6 Ket inummong ti ari ti Israel dagiti amin a profeta, nga uppat a gasut a lallaki, ket kinunana kadakuada, “Mapanak kadi makigubat idiay Ramot Galaad, wenno saan?” Kinunada, “Rautem, ta iyawatto ti Apo daytoy iti ari.”
So the king of Israel assembled the prophets, about four hundred men, and asked them, “Should I go to war against Ramoth-gilead, or should I refrain?” “Go up,” they replied, “and the Lord will deliver it into the hand of the king.”
7 Ngem kinuna ni Jehosafat, “Awan kadin ditoy ti sabali pay a profeta ni Yahweh a mabalintayo a pagkiddawan iti balakad?”
But Jehoshaphat asked, “Is there not still a prophet of the LORD here of whom we can inquire?”
8 Kinuna ti ari ti Israel kenni Jehosafat, “Adda pay maysa a tao a mabalintayo a pagkiddawan iti balakad manipud kenni Yahweh a tumulong, ni Micaias nga anak ni Imla, ngem kagurak isuna ta saan a mangipadpadto iti aniaman a nasayaat a banag maipanggep kaniak, pasig a kinarigat laeng.” Ngem kinuna ni Jehosafat, “Saan koma nga ibaga ti ari dayta.”
The king of Israel answered, “There is still one man who can ask the LORD, but I hate him because he never prophesies anything good for me, but only bad. He is Micaiah son of Imlah.” “The king should not say that!” Jehoshaphat replied.
9 Ket nangayab ti ari ti Israel iti opisial ket binilinna, “Iyegyo a dagus ni Micaias nga anak ni Imla.”
So the king of Israel called one of his officials and said, “Bring Micaiah son of Imlah at once.”
10 Ita, nakatugaw ni Ahab nga ari ti Israel ken ni Jehosafat nga ari ti Juda kadagiti tronoda, nakakawesda kadagiti kawes ti ari, iti nawaya a lugar iti pagserekan iti ruangan ti Samaria, ket nangipadto amin dagiti profeta, iti sangoananda.
Dressed in royal attire, the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat king of Judah were sitting on their thrones at the threshing floor by the entrance of the gate of Samaria, with all the prophets prophesying before them.
11 Nangaramid ni Zedekia nga anak ni Kenaana kadagiti landok a sinan sara ket kinunana, “Kastoy ti imbaga ni Yahweh: 'Babaen kadagitoy ket sangdoenyonto dagiti taga-Aram agingga a maibusda.”
Now Zedekiah son of Chenaanah had made for himself iron horns and declared, “This is what the LORD says: ‘With these you shall gore the Arameans until they are finished off.’”
12 Kasta met laeng ti impadto dagiti amin a profeta, a kunada, “Darupenyo ti Ramot Galaad ket agballigikayo, ta iyawat ni Yahweh daytoy iti ari.”
And all the prophets were prophesying the same, saying, “Go up to Ramoth-gilead and prosper, for the LORD will deliver it into the hand of the king.”
13 Nagsao kenkuana ti mensahero a napan nangayab kenni Micaias, a kunana, “Ita dumngegka, pasig a nasayaat a banbanag dagiti sasao nga imbaga dagiti profeta ti ari. Pangngaasim ta kasta met koma ti sawem ket nasayaat a banbanag ti ibagam.”
Then the messenger who had gone to call Micaiah instructed him, “Behold now, with one accord the words of the prophets are favorable to the king. So please let your words be like theirs, and speak favorably.”
14 Simmungbat ni Micaias, “Iti nagan ni Yahweh nga adda iti agnanayon, ti ibaga ni Yahweh kaniak ti sawek.”
But Micaiah said, “As surely as the LORD lives, I will speak whatever the LORD tells me.”
15 Idi napan isuna iti ayan ti ari, kinuna ti ari kenkuana, “Micaias, mapankami kadi makigubat idiay Ramot Galaad, wenno saan?” Simmungbat ni Micaias, “Rautem ket parmekem. Iyawatto ni Yaweh daytoy iti ima ti ari.”
When Micaiah arrived, the king asked him, “Micaiah, should we go to war against Ramoth-gilead, or should we refrain?” “Go up and triumph,” Micaiah replied, “for the LORD will give it into the hand of the king.”
16 Ket kinuna ti ari kenkuana, “Namin-ano a daras nga imbagak kenka nga ikarim nga ibagam laeng kaniak ti kinapudno iti nagan ni Yahweh?”
But the king said to him, “How many times must I make you swear not to tell me anything but the truth in the name of the LORD?”
17 Isu a kinuna ni Micaias, “Nakitak ti entero nga Israel a nawarawara kadagiti banbantay, kasla da la karnero nga awan iti mangipaspastor, ket kinuna ni Yahweh, 'Awan ti mangipaspastor kadagitoy. Agsubli koma ti tunggal tao iti balayna a sitatalged.”’
So Micaiah declared: “I saw all Israel scattered on the hills like sheep without a shepherd. And the LORD said, ‘These people have no master; let each one return home in peace.’”
18 Isu a kinuna ti ari ti Israel kenni Jehosafat, “Saan kadi nga imbagak kenka a saan isuna nga agipadto iti nasayaat maipanggep kaniak, ngem didigra laeng?”
Then the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, “Did I not tell you that he never prophesies good for me, but only bad?”
19 Ket kinuna ni Micaias, “Denggem ngarud ti sao ni Yahweh: Nakitak ni Yahweh a nakatugaw iti tronona, ken dagiti amin a buybuyot ti langit ket agtaktakder iti makannawan ken iti makannigidna.
Micaiah continued, “Therefore hear the word of the LORD: I saw the LORD sitting on His throne, and all the host of heaven standing by Him on His right and on His left.
20 Kinuna ni Yahweh, 'Siasino ti mangallilaw kenni Ahab, tapno mapan isuna ken maparmek idiay Ramot Galaad?' Ket nagduduma ti insungbat ti tunggal maysa.
And the LORD said, ‘Who will entice Ahab to march up and fall at Ramoth-gilead?’ And one suggested this, and another that.
21 Ket adda maysa nga espiritu a nagpasango, nagtakder iti sangoanan ni Yahweh, ket kinunana, 'Siak ti mangallilaw kenkuana.' Kinuna ni Yahweh kenkuana, 'Kasano?'
Then a spirit came forward, stood before the LORD, and said, ‘I will entice him.’ ‘By what means?’ asked the LORD.
22 Simmungbat ti espiritu, 'Mapanak ken agbalinak nga agul-ulbod nga espiritu iti ngiwat dagiti amin a profetana.' Simmungbat ni Yahweh, 'Allilawem isuna, ket agballigikanto. Mapanka ket aramiden ti imbagam.'
And he replied, ‘I will go out and be a lying spirit in the mouths of all his prophets.’ ‘You will surely entice him and prevail,’ said the LORD. ‘Go and do it.’
23 Ita kitaem, nangikabil ni Yahweh iti agul-ulbod nga espiritu iti ngiwat dagiti amin a profetam, ket nangituyang ni Yahweh ti didigra para kenka.”
So you see, the LORD has put a lying spirit in the mouths of all these prophets of yours, and the LORD has pronounced disaster against you.”
24 Kalpasanna immasideg ni Zedekaia nga anak ni Kenaana, tinungpana ni Micaias, ket kinunana, “Kasano a rimmuar kaniak ti Espiritu ni Yahweh tapno makitungtong kenka?”
Then Zedekiah son of Chenaanah went up, struck Micaiah in the face, and demanded, “Which way did the Spirit of the LORD go when He departed from me to speak with you?”
25 Kinuna ni Micaias, “Kitaem, maammoamto dayta, iti dayta nga aldaw, inton agtarayka nga aglemmeng iti akin uneg a siled.
Micaiah replied, “You will soon see, on that day when you go and hide in an inner room.”
26 Kinuna ti ari ti Israel iti adipena, “Tiliwem ni Micaias ket iyapanmo kenni Amon, a gobernador ti siudad, kenni Joas, nga anakko.
And the king of Israel declared, “Take Micaiah and return him to Amon the governor of the city and to Joash the king’s son,
27 Ibagam kenkuana, 'Kuna ti ari, Ibaludyo daytoy a tao ket bassit a tinapay ti ipakanyo ken ikkanyo ti laeng ti bassit a danum, agingga a makasangpetak a sitatalged.”’
and tell them that this is what the king says: ‘Put this man in prison and feed him only bread and water until I return safely.’”
28 Ket kinuna ni Micaias, “No makasublika a sitatalged, saan ngarud a nagsao ni Yahweh kaniak.” Ket kinunana pay, “Denggenyo daytoy, dakayo amin a tattao.”
But Micaiah replied, “If you ever return safely, the LORD has not spoken through me.” Then he added, “Take heed, all you people!”
29 Napan ngarud ni Ahab nga ari ti Israel, ken ni Jehosafat nga ari ti Juda idiay Ramot Galaad.
So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat king of Judah went up to Ramoth-gilead.
30 Kinuna ti ari ti Israel kenni Jehosafat, “Manglimlimoak ket mapanak iti paggugubatan, ngem ikawesmo dagiti pagan-anaymo a kas ari.” Isu a nanglimlimo ngarud ti ari ti Israel ket napan iti paggugubatan.
And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, “I will disguise myself and go into battle, but you wear your royal robes.” So the king of Israel disguised himself and went into battle.
31 Ita, binilin ti ari ti Aram dagiti tallo pulo ket dua a kapitan ti karwahena, a kunana, “Saanyo a darupen uray siasinoman kadagiti soldado. Ketdi, darupenyo laeng ti ari ti Israel.”
Now the king of Aram had ordered his thirty-two chariot commanders, “Do not fight with anyone, small or great, except the king of Israel.”
32 Ket idi nakita dagiti kapitan dagiti karwahe ni Jehosafat kinunada, “Sigurado a dayta ti ari ti Israel.” Dinarupda isuna, ket nagriaw ni Jehosafat.
When the chariot commanders saw Jehoshaphat, they said, “Surely this is the king of Israel!” So they turned to fight against him, but Jehoshaphat cried out.
33 Ket idi nakita dagiti mangidadaulo kadagiti karwahe a saan nga isu ti ari ti Israel, saandan nga intuloy iti panangkamatda kenkuana.
And when the chariot commanders saw that he was not the king of Israel, they turned back from pursuing him.
34 Ngem adda maysa a lalaki a nangipasaksak lattan iti panana ket natamaan ti ari ti Israel iti nagsaipan ti kabalna. Ket kinuna ni Ahab iti mangiturturong iti karwahena, “Agsublita ken ipanawnak ditoy paggugubatan, ta nasugatanak iti nakaro.”
However, a certain man drew his bow without taking special aim, and he struck the king of Israel between the joints of his armor. So the king said to his charioteer, “Turn around and take me out of the battle, for I am badly wounded!”
35 Kimarkaro ti gubat iti dayta nga aldaw, ket sisasadag ti ari iti karwahena a nakasango kadagiti taga-Aram. Natay isuna iti karabianna. Nagsayasay ti darana manipud iti sugatna iti datar iti karwahe.
The battle raged throughout that day, and the king was propped up in his chariot facing the Arameans. And the blood from his wound ran out onto the floor of the chariot, and that evening he died.
36 Ket idi lumlumneken ti init, impukkaw dagiti armada, a kunada, “Agsubli ti tunggal maysa iti siudadna, ken tunggal maysa iti rehionna!”
As the sun was setting, the cry rang out in the army: “Every man to his own city, and every man to his own land!”
37 Natay ngarud ni Ahab ket impanda idiay Samaria, ket impunponda isuna idiay Samaria.
So the king died and was brought to Samaria, where they buried him.
38 Binugwanda ti karwahe iti pagdigosan idiay Samaria, ket dinilpatan dagiti aso ti darana (ditoy ti pagdigdigusan dagiti balangkantis), kas iti sao nga imbaga ni Yahweh.
And the chariot was washed at the pool of Samaria where the prostitutes bathed, and the dogs licked up Ahab’s blood, according to the word that the LORD had spoken.
39 Maipapan kadagiti dadduma a banbanag maipanggep kenni Ahab, amin nga inaramidna, ti impatakderna a marfil a balay, ken amin a siudad nga imbangonna saan kadi a naisurat dagitoy iti Libro dagiti Pakasaritaan dagiti Ar-ari ti Israel?
As for the rest of the acts of Ahab, along with all his accomplishments and the ivory palace and all the cities he built, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel?
40 Pimmusay ngarud ni Ahab, ket ni Ahazias nga anakna a lalaki ti nagbalin nga ari a simmukat kenkuana.
And Ahab rested with his fathers, and his son Ahaziah reigned in his place.
41 Ket nangrugi a nagturay idiay Juda ni Jehosafat nga anak ni Asa idi maikapat a tawen a panagturay ni Ahab nga ari ti Israel.
In the fourth year of Ahab’s reign over Israel, Jehoshaphat son of Asa became king of Judah.
42 Tallopulo ket lima ti tawen ni Jehosafat idi nagturay isuna, ket nagturay isuna iti duapulo ket lima a tawen idiay Jerusalem. Ti nagan ti inana ket Azuba, nga anak a babai ni Silhi.
Jehoshaphat was thirty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem twenty-five years. His mother’s name was Azubah daughter of Shilhi.
43 Nagbiag isuna iti wagas ni Asa nga amana; saanna a tinallikudan dagitoy; inaramidna no ania ti nasayaat iti imatang ni Yahweh. Nupay kasta, saan pay a naikkat dagiti disso a pagdaydayawan. Agidatdaton ken agpupuor latta iti insenso dagiti tattao kadagiti disso a pagdaydayawan.
And Jehoshaphat walked in all the ways of his father Asa; he did not turn away from them, but did what was right in the eyes of the LORD. The high places, however, were not removed; the people still sacrificed and burned incense on the high places.
44 Nakipagkapia ni Jehosafat iti ari ti Israel.
Jehoshaphat also made peace with the king of Israel.
45 Maipapan kadagiti dadduma a banbanag maipangep kenni Jehosafat, ken ti kinabileg nga impakitana ken no kasano a nangabak isuna iti gubat, saan kadi a naisurat dagitoy iti Libro dagiti Pakasaritaan dagiti Ar-ari ti Juda?
As for the rest of the acts of Jehoshaphat, along with the might he exercised and how he waged war, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah?
46 Pinapanawna manipud iti daga dagiti nabatbati a balangkantis a natda kadagiti al-aldaw ti amana a ni Asa.
He banished from the land the male shrine prostitutes who remained from the days of his father Asa.
47 Awan ti ari idiay Edom, ngem nagturay ti pannakabagi ti ari sadiay.
And there was no king in Edom; a deputy served as king.
48 Nangaramid ni Jehosafat kadagiti barko a paglayag a mapan idiay Ofir gapu iti balitok, ngem saanda a nakadanon gapu ta nadadael dagiti barko idiay Ezion Geber.
Jehoshaphat built ships of Tarshish to go to Ophir for gold, but they never set sail, because they were wrecked at Ezion-geber.
49 Ket kinuna ni Ahazias nga anak ni Ahab kenni Jehosafat, “Ipalubosmo koma a makilayag dagiti adipenko kadagiti adipenmo kadagiti barko.” Ngem saan nga immannugot ni Jehosafat.
At that time Ahaziah son of Ahab said to Jehoshaphat, “Let my servants sail with your servants,” but Jehoshaphat refused.
50 Pimmusay ni Jehosafat ket naitabon a kaduada iti siudad ni David, a kapuonanna; ni Jehoram nga anakna ti nagbalin nga ari a simmukat kenkuana.
And Jehoshaphat rested with his fathers and was buried with them in the city of his father David. And his son Jehoram reigned in his place.
51 Nagturay ni Ahazias nga anak ni Ahab iti Israel idiay Samaria idi maikasangapulo ket pito a tawen a panagturay ni Jehoshafat nga ari ti Juda, ket nagturay isuna iti dua a tawen iti Israel.
In the seventeenth year of Jehoshaphat’s reign over Judah, Ahaziah son of Ahab became king of Israel, and he reigned in Samaria two years.
52 Dakes ti inaramidna iti imatang ni Yahweh ken nagbiag iti wagas ti amana, ken iti wagas ti inana, ken iti wagas ni Jeroboam nga anak ni Nabat, ket iti kasta insungsongna ti Israel nga agbasol.
And he did evil in the sight of the LORD and walked in the ways of his father and mother and of Jeroboam son of Nebat, who had caused Israel to sin.
53 Nagserbi isuna kenni Baal ken dinayawna isuna, isu a pinagpungtotna ni Yahweh, a Dios ti Israel, a kas iti inaramid ti amana.
Ahaziah served and worshiped Baal, provoking the LORD, the God of Israel, to anger, just as his father had done.
