1And Benhadad the king of Syria gathered all his host together: and there were thirty and two kings with him, and horses, and chariots; and he went up and besieged Samaria, and warred against it.
1 Kala Suriya bonkoono Ben-Hadad na nga wongu marga kulu margu. Koy waranza cindi hinka go a banda da bariyaŋ da torkoyaŋ. A binde kaaru ka wongu daaga sinji Samariya se k'a wongu.
2And he sent messengers to Ahab king of Israel into the city, and said unto him, Thus saith Benhadad,
2 A na diyayaŋ donton Israyla bonkoono Ahab gaa, hala kwaara ra. I ne a se: «Haŋ kaŋ Ben-Hadad ci, a ne way:
3Thy silver and thy gold is mine; thy wives also and thy children, even the goodliest, are mine.
3 Ni nzarfo da ni wura ay wane yaŋ no. Ni wandey kaŋ ga boori nda ikulu da ni izey mo, ay wane yaŋ no.»
4And the king of Israel answered and said, My lord, O king, according to thy saying, I am thine, and all that I have.
4 Israyla bonkoono tu ka ne: «Ni ciyaŋo boŋ yaadin no, ay koyo, ya bonkoono. Ay ya ni wane no, da hay kulu kaŋ go ay se.»
5And the messengers came again, and said, Thus speaketh Benhadad, saying, Although I have sent unto thee, saying, Thou shalt deliver me thy silver, and thy gold, and thy wives, and thy children;
5 Kala diyey ye ka kaa koyne ka ne: «Haŋ kaŋ Ben-Hadad ci neeya: Sikka si ay na sanni donton ni gaa ka ne ni g'ay no ni nzarfo da ni wura da ni wandey da ni izey.
6Yet I will send my servants unto thee to morrow about this time, and they shall search thine house, and the houses of thy servants; and it shall be, that whatsoever is pleasant in thine eyes, they shall put it in their hand, and take it away.
6 Amma ay g'ay tamey donton ni do suba mãsancine. I ga ni windo da ni tamey windey fisi. A ga ciya mo, ni hari kaana kulu, i g'a sambu ngey kambey ra ka dira nd'a.»
7Then the king of Israel called all the elders of the land, and said, Mark, I pray you, and see how this man seeketh mischief: for he sent unto me for my wives, and for my children, and for my silver, and for my gold; and I denied him not.
7 Waato din gaa no Israyla bonkoono na laabo arkusey kulu margu ka ne i se: «Ay ga araŋ ŋwaaray no, wa guna mate kaŋ cine boro wo goono ga hasaraw ceeci nd'a, zama a donton ay gaa ka ne ya nga no ay wandey d'ay izey d'ay nzarfo d'ay wura. Ay mana ganj'a mo.»
8And all the elders and all the people said unto him, Hearken not unto him, nor consent.
8 Kala arkusey kulu da jama mo ne a se: «Ma si maa, ma si yadda mo.»
9Wherefore he said unto the messengers of Benhadad, Tell my lord the king, All that thou didst send for to thy servant at the first I will do: but this thing I may not do. And the messengers departed, and brought him word again.
9 Woodin se binde a donton Ben-Hadad diyey gaa ka ne: «Kala araŋ ma ci koyo ay bonkoono se ka ne: ‹Hay kulu kaŋ ni jin ka donton ay, ni bannya se a ma te, kal ay m'a te, amma ay si hin ka woone wo te.› » Diyey binde tun ka dira. I ye ka kaa ka kand'a se sanni.
10And Benhadad sent unto him, and said, The gods do so unto me, and more also, if the dust of Samaria shall suffice for handfuls for all the people that follow me.
10 Ben-Hadad donton a gaa ka ne: «Iri de-koyey m'ay laali, hala day Samariya laabo to ka wasa jama se kaŋ go ay banda i ma ngey kambey toonandi.»
11And the king of Israel answered and said, Tell him, Let not him that girdeth on his harness boast himself as he that putteth it off.
11 Israyla bonkoono tu ka ne: «Wa ci a se: Boro kaŋ goono ga nga wongu kwaayo haw, a ma si fooma sanda boro kaŋ goono g'a feeri cine.»
12And it came to pass, when Ben-hadad heard this message, as he was drinking, he and the kings in the pavilions, that he said unto his servants, Set yourselves in array. And they set themselves in array against the city.
12 A ciya binde, waati kaŋ Ben-Hadad maa sanni woodin a go baji haŋyaŋ gaa, nga nda koyey, bukkey ra. Kal a ne nga tamey se: «Wa soola!» Kal i na daaga sinji zama i ma birno wongu.
13And, behold, there came a prophet unto Ahab king of Israel, saying, Thus saith the LORD, Hast thou seen all this great multitude? behold, I will deliver it into thine hand this day; and thou shalt know that I am the LORD.
13 Kala annabi fo maan Israyla bonkoono Ahab do ka ne: «Haŋ kaŋ Rabbi ci neeya: Ni di wongu marga bambata wo kulu? Guna, hunkuna ay g'a daŋ ni kambe ra. Ni ga bay mo kaŋ ay no ga ti Rabbi.»
14And Ahab said, By whom? And he said, Thus saith the LORD, Even by the young men of the princes of the provinces. Then he said, Who shall order the battle? And he answered, Thou.
14 Ahab ne: «May do no?» A ne: «Haŋ kaŋ Rabbi ci neeya: Laabo jine borey arwasey kambey ra no.» Gaa no bonkoono ne: «May no ga jin ka sintin ka wongu haw?» Annabo tu ka ne: «Nin.»
15Then he numbered the young men of the princes of the provinces, and they were two hundred and thirty two: and after them he numbered all the people, even all the children of Israel, being seven thousand.
15 Saaya din a na laabukoyey wane arwasey margu. I to boro zangu hinka nda waranza cindi hinka. I banda a na jama kulu margu, sanda Israyla izey kulu, boro zambar iyye no.
16And they went out at noon. But Benhadad was drinking himself drunk in the pavilions, he and the kings, the thirty and two kings that helped him.
16 Wayna go zaari bindi kaŋ i fatta. Amma Ben-Hadad goono ga haŋ hal a bugu bukkey ra, nga nda koyey, koy waranza cindi hinka din kaŋ yaŋ goono g'a gaa.
17And the young men of the princes of the provinces went out first; and Benhadad sent out, and they told him, saying, There are men come out of Samaria.
17 Laabukoyey arwasey sintin ka fatta. Ben-Hadad mo donton ka hã. Kal i ne a se: «Boro fooyaŋ go no kaŋ yaŋ fun Samariya.»
18And he said, Whether they be come out for peace, take them alive; or whether they be come out for war, take them alive.
18 A ne: «D'i kaa baani se, w'i di da fundi. Wala mo d'i kaa wongu se no, w'i di da fundi.»
19So these young men of the princes of the provinces came out of the city, and the army which followed them.
19 Yaadin no afooyaŋ fun kwaara ra, sanda laabukoyey arwasey da wongu marga kaŋ go i banda.
20And they slew every one his man: and the Syrians fled; and Israel pursued them: and Benhadad the king of Syria escaped on an horse with the horsemen.
20 I boro kulu na nga bora wi, Suriyancey binde zuru. Israyla borey go g'i gana. Suriya bonkoono Ben-Hadad mo zuru ka yana bari boŋ, nga nda bari-kari fooyaŋ.
21And the king of Israel went out, and smote the horses and chariots, and slew the Syrians with a great slaughter.
21 Israyla bonkoono mo fatta ka bariyey da wongu torkey kar, ka Suriyancey wi da wiyaŋ bambata.
22And the prophet came to the king of Israel, and said unto him, Go, strengthen thyself, and mark, and see what thou doest: for at the return of the year the king of Syria will come up against thee.
22 Gaa no annabo din maan Israyla bonkoono gaa ka ne a se: «Ma koy ka ni laabo gaabandi. Ma te laakal mo ka di haŋ kaŋ ni ga te, zama jiiro bareyaŋ Suriya bonkoono ga kande ni gaa wongu.»
23And the servants of the king of Syria said unto him, Their gods are gods of the hills; therefore they were stronger than we; but let us fight against them in the plain, and surely we shall be stronger than they.
23 Suriya bonkoono tamey ne a se: «I Irikoyo ya tondey ra irikoy no. Woodin se no i bisa iri gaabi. Amma naŋ iri ma wongu nd'ey gooro batama ra. Yaadin gaa sikka si iri ga bis'ey gaabi.
24And do this thing, Take the kings away, every man out of his place, and put captains in their rooms:
24 Kala binde ni ma woone te: Ma laabukoyey ganandi i afo kulu nga nango ra. Ma wongu marga jine boroyaŋ daŋ i nangey ra.
25And number thee an army, like the army that thou hast lost, horse for horse, and chariot for chariot: and we will fight against them in the plain, and surely we shall be stronger than they. And he hearkened unto their voice, and did so.
25 Ma ye ka wongu marga fo margu koyne, sanda wo kaŋ daray ni se din cine. Ma bariyey kabu, bari banandi, torko mo, torko banandi. Iri ma wongu nd'ey gooro batama ra. Sikka si iri ga bis'ey gaabi.» Kala bonkoono na laakal ye i sanno gaa ka woodin te mo.
26And it came to pass at the return of the year, that Benhadad numbered the Syrians, and went up to Aphek, to fight against Israel.
26 A ciya binde, jiiro baranta, kala Ben-Hadad na Suriyancey margu ka ziji ka koy Afek, zama nga ma Israyla wongu se.
27And the children of Israel were numbered, and were all present, and went against them: and the children of Israel pitched before them like two little flocks of kids; but the Syrians filled the country.
27 I na Israyla izey margu ka hindoonayyaŋ te i se, i koy mo ka wongu nd'ey. Israyla izey binde na ngey gata sinji i jine, danga hincin kali kayna hinka, amma Suriyancey na batama toonandi.
28And there came a man of God, and spake unto the king of Israel, and said, Thus saith the LORD, Because the Syrians have said, The LORD is God of the hills, but he is not God of the valleys, therefore will I deliver all this great multitude into thine hand, and ye shall know that I am the LORD.
28 Kala Irikoy bora maan ka salaŋ Israyla bonkoono se ka ne: «Haŋ kaŋ Rabbi ci neeya: Za kaŋ Suriyancey ne Rabbi ya tondey ra irikoy no, amma manti gooro batama irikoy no, woodin se no ay ga jama marga bambata wo kulu daŋ ni kambe ra. Araŋ ga bay mo kaŋ ay no ga ti Rabbi.»
29And they pitched one over against the other seven days. And so it was, that in the seventh day the battle was joined: and the children of Israel slew of the Syrians an hundred thousand footmen in one day.
29 I go margante ka care do haray guna hala jirbi iyye. I jirbi iyyanta hane day, i na wongo sintin. Israyla izey na Suriyancey sooje zambar zangu wi zaari folloŋ ra.
30But the rest fled to Aphek, into the city; and there a wall fell upon twenty and seven thousand of the men that were left. And Benhadad fled, and came into the city, into an inner chamber.
30 Amma cindey zuru ka koy Afek ka furo kwaara ra. Kwaara cinaro mo kaŋ boro zambar waranka cindi iyye kaŋ yaŋ cindi boŋ. Ben-Hadad mo zuru ka furo kwaara ra ka tugu lokoto fo ra.
31And his servants said unto him, Behold now, we have heard that the kings of the house of Israel are merciful kings: let us, I pray thee, put sackcloth on our loins, and ropes upon our heads, and go out to the king of Israel: peradventure he will save thy life.
31 Kal a tamey ne a se: «Guna sohõ iri goono ga maa baaru, i ne Israyla bonkooney ya suujikoyyaŋ no. Iri ga ni ŋwaaray binde, ma naŋ iri ma bufuyaŋ daŋ iri cantey gaa, iri ma korfoyaŋ daŋ iri boŋey gaa, iri ma fatta ka koy Israyla bonkoono do. Hambara a ga ni fundo faaba.»
32So they girded sackcloth on their loins, and put ropes on their heads, and came to the king of Israel, and said, Thy servant Benhadad saith, I pray thee, let me live. And he said, Is he yet alive? he is my brother.
32 I binde na bufuyaŋ haw ngey cantey gaa, ka korfoyaŋ daŋ ngey boŋey gaa, ka kaa Israyla bonkoono do ka ne: «Ni tamo Ben-Hadad ne: ‹Ay ga ni ŋwaaray, m'ay naŋ ya funa.› » Bonkoono ne: «A gonda fundi hala hõ no? Ay nya-ize no.»
33Now the men did diligently observe whether any thing would come from him, and did hastily catch it: and they said, Thy brother Benhadad. Then he said, Go ye, bring him. Then Benhadad came forth to him; and he caused him to come up into the chariot.
33 Borey din binde na sanno himandi sanda alaama. I ye ka waasu zama ngey ma maa hala yaadin no a bina ra. I ne: «Ni nya-izo Ben-Hadad no.» Gaa no Ahab ne: «Wa koy ka kand'a.» Kala Ben-Hadad fatta ka koy a do. Bonkoono mo n'a daŋ a ma kaaru torko boŋ.
34And Ben-hadad said unto him, The cities, which my father took from thy father, I will restore; and thou shalt make streets for thee in Damascus, as my father made in Samaria. Then said Ahab, I will send thee away with this covenant. So he made a covenant with him, and sent him away.
34 Ben-Hadad mo ne a se: «Kwaarey kaŋ ay baaba ta ni baaba gaa, ay wo g'i yeti. Ni ga fondoyaŋ te ni boŋ se Damaskos ra, sanda mate kaŋ cine ay baaba te Samariya ra.» Ahab ne: «Ay mo ga ni naŋ ni ma koy, alkawli woodin boŋ.» A binde sappe nd'a k'a taŋ.
35And a certain man of the sons of the prophets said unto his neighbor in the word of the LORD, Smite me, I pray thee. And the man refused to smite him.
35 Kala annabey izey boro fo ne nga cala se, «Rabbi ciyaŋ boŋ, ay ga ni ŋwaaray, ni m'ay kar.» Bora binde wangu k'a kar.
36Then said he unto him, Because thou hast not obeyed the voice of the LORD, behold, as soon as thou art departed from me, a lion shall slay thee. And as soon as he was departed from him, a lion found him, and slew him.
36 A ne a se: «Za kaŋ ni mana maa Rabbi sanno se, guna, ni ne tunanta ka fun ay do, muusu beeri ga ni kar ka wi.» A do tunanta, kala muusu n'a gar k'a wi.
37Then he found another man, and said, Smite me, I pray thee. And the man smote him, so that in smiting he wounded him.
37 Annabo ye ka boro fo gar koyne ka ne bora se: «Ay ga ni ŋwaaray, m'ay kar.» Bora binde n'a kar. A karyaŋo ra binde bora n'a maray.
38So the prophet departed, and waited for the king by the way, and disguised himself with ashes upon his face.
38 Annabo din binde tun ka koy ka bonkoono batu fonda gaa. A na nga boŋ barmay zama a na nga boŋtobay didiji nga moy gaa.
39And as the king passed by, he cried unto the king: and he said, Thy servant went out into the midst of the battle; and, behold, a man turned aside, and brought a man unto me, and said, Keep this man: if by any means he be missing, then shall thy life be for his life, or else thou shalt pay a talent of silver.
39 Kaŋ bonkoono goono ga bisa, annabo na jinde sambu bonkoono gaa ka ne: «Ay, ni tamo, furo wongu bindi ra no. Boro fo go no kaŋ kamba ka kand'ay se boro fo ka ne: ‹Ma haggoy da boro wo. Mate kulu kaŋ no d'a daray, ni fundo ga ciya a fundo banandi, wala mo ni ma nzarfu kilo waytaaci cindi gu cine bana.›
40And as thy servant was busy here and there, he was gone. And the king of Israel said unto him, So shall thy judgment be; thyself hast decided it.
40 Waati kaŋ ay, ni bannya, ay goono ga muraaduyaŋ te nangu-nangu, kala bora din daray.» Kala Israyla bonkoono ne a se: «Ya-cine no ni ciito bara nd'a. Ni na ciito dumbu ni boŋ se.»
41And he hasted, and took the ashes away from his face; and the king of Israel discerned him that he was of the prophets.
41 Kala annabo cahã ka boŋtoba kaa nga moy gaa, Israyla bonkoono mo n'a bay, kaŋ annabey ra no a go.
42And he said unto him, Thus saith the LORD, Because thou hast let go out of thy hand a man whom I appointed to utter destruction, therefore thy life shall go for his life, and thy people for his people.
42 Annabo ne a se: «Haŋ kaŋ Rabbi ci neeya: Za kaŋ ni naŋ boro kaŋ ay na halaciyaŋ waadu a boŋ a ma koma ka fun ni kambe ra, woodin se binde ni fundo ga ciya a fundo banandi, ni jama mo a jama banandi.»
43And the king of Israel went to his house heavy and displeased, and came to Samaria.
43 Israyla bonkoono binde koy nga kwaara da bine tiŋay kaŋ kaani si no. Samariya no a kaa.
