1Now Jehoram the son of Ahab began to reign over Israel in Samaria the eighteenth year of Jehoshaphat king of Judah, and reigned twelve years.
1 Ahab haama Yehoram te bonkooni Israyla boŋ Samariya ra Yahuda bonkoono Yehosafat jiiri way cindi ahakkanta ra. A te bonkooni jiiri way cindi hinka.
2And 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.
2 A na teera laalo yaŋ te Rabbi jine, amma manti sanda a baabo wano cine, wala a nyaŋo wano cine bo, zama a na Baal* cinaro kaŋ Ahab cina din ganandi.
3Nevertheless he cleaved unto the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, which made Israel to sin; he departed not therefrom.
3 Amma a naagu Yerobowam Nebat izo zunubey gaa, naŋ kaŋ a Israyla daŋ i ma zunubi te; a mana fay d'a mo.
4And Mesha king of Moab was a sheepmaster, and rendered unto the king of Israel an hundred thousand lambs, and an hundred thousand rams, with the wool.
4 Mowab bonkoono Mesa wo feeji koy no. A ga Israyla bonkoono no jangal feej'ize zambar zangu hamni, da feeji gaaru zambar zangu wane mo.
5But it came to pass, when Ahab was dead, that the king of Moab rebelled against the king of Israel.
5 Amma a ciya, waati kaŋ Ahab bu, Mowab bonkoono murte Israyla bonkoono gaa.
6And king Jehoram went out of Samaria the same time, and numbered all Israel.
6 Bonkoono Yehoram fatta Samariya alwaato din ka Israyla kulu margu.
7And 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 up: I am as thou art, my people as thy people, and my horses as thy horses.
7 A koy ka donton Yahuda bonkoono Yehosafat gaa mo, ka ne: «Mowab bonkoono murte ay gaa. Wala ni ga yadda ka koy ay banda no, iri ma Mowab bonkoono wongu?» Nga mo ne: «Kal ay ma kaaru. Ay ya ni cine no; ay borey mo ni borey cine yaŋ no, ay bariyey mo ni bariyey cine yaŋ no.»
8And he said, Which way shall we go up? And he answered, The way through the wilderness of Edom.
8 Yehoram ne: «Fondo woofo no iri ga gana?» Yehosafat tu ka ne: «Edom saaji fonda no.»
9So the king of Israel went, and the king of Judah, and the king of Edom: and they fetched a compass of seven days' journey: and there was no water for the host, and for the cattle that followed them.
9 Israyla bonkoono mo koy, Yahuda bonkoono nda Edom bonkoono mo koy. I kamba ka windi jirbi iyye. I goono ga windi, i jaŋ hari ngey wongu marga kaŋ goono g'i gana se, d'i almaney mo se.
10And the king of Israel said, Alas! that the LORD hath called these three kings together, to deliver them into the hand of Moab!
10 Israyla bonkoono ne: «Kaari! Zama Rabbi na bonkooni hinzo wo ce, a n'i margu zama a m'i daŋ Mowab kambe ra.»
11But 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, which poured water on the hands of Elijah.
11 Amma Yehosafat ne: «Rabbi annabi* fo si neewo kaŋ do iri ga hã?» Kala boro fo Israyla bonkoono bannyey ra tu ka ne a se: «Iliyasu, Safat izo kaŋ doŋ a goro ka hari dooru Iliya kambe gaa, a go no.»
12And 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.
12 Yehosafat ne: «Rabbi sanno go a banda.» Israyla bonkoono nda Yehosafat da Edom bonkoono mo koy a do.
13And Elisha said unto the king of Israel, What have I to do with thee? get thee to the prophets of thy father, and to the prophets of thy mother. And the king of Israel said unto him, Nay: for the LORD hath called these three kings together, to deliver them into the hand of Moab.
13 Kala Iliyasu ne Israyla bonkoono se: «Ay baa fo nda nin? Soobay ka koy ni baaba nda ni nya annabey do!» Israyla bonkoono ne a se: «Manti yaadin no bo. Zama Rabbi na bonkooni hinzo wo ce, a n'i margu zama a m'i daŋ Mowab kambe ra.»
14And 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.
14 Iliyasu ne: «Ay ze da Rabbi Kundeykoyo fundo, nga kaŋ jine ay goono ga kay, da manti kaŋ ay laakal da Yahuda bonkoono Yehosafat wo, doŋ ay si baa ni guna mo, sanku fa ay ma ni saal.
15But now bring me a minstrel. And it came to pass, when the minstrel played, that the hand of the LORD came upon him.
15 Amma sohõ kal i ma kand'ay se moolo kari.» A ciya mo, waato kaŋ moolo koyo kaa ka kar, kala Rabbi kamba zumbu ka kaa Iliyasu boŋ.
16And he said, Thus saith the LORD, Make this valley full of ditches.
16 A ne mo: «Rabbi ne araŋ ma gooru batama wo toonandi nda gootayaŋ.
17For 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.
17 Zama Rabbi ne: Araŋ si di haw ma faaru, araŋ si di beene hari mo. Kulu nda yaadin batama wo ga to da hari. Araŋ ma haŋ, araŋ d'araŋ almaney, ikayney da ibeerey.
18And this is but a light thing in the sight of the LORD: he will deliver the Moabites also into your hand.
18 Woodin wo, manti hay fo no Rabbi diyaŋ gaa. A ga Mowabancey mo daŋ araŋ kambe ra.
19And ye shall smite every fenced 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.
19 Araŋ ga kwaara gaabikooney, da kwaara suubanantey kulu kar, araŋ ma tuuri-nya hanney kulu beeri mo. Araŋ ma hari-moy nda gooru hari zurukoy kulu daabu, araŋ ma fari hanney kulu sara nda tondiyaŋ mo.»
20And 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.
20 A ciya mo, susubay sargay salleyaŋ alwaate, kala hari go, a na Edom fonda gana ka kaa, laabo mo to nda hari.
21And when all the Moabites heard that the kings were come up to fight against them, they gathered all that were able to put on armor, and upward, and stood in the border.
21 Alwaato kaŋ Mowabancey kulu maa baaru kaŋ koyey kaa zama ngey ma wongu se, day i margu, i kulu kaŋ yaŋ ga hin ka takuba koto ka koy beene. I kay laabo hirro me gaa.
22And they rose up 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:
22 I tun za susubay da hinay, wayna mo go ga kaari haro boŋ. Mowabancey mo di haro kaŋ go ngey jine ga ciray, caw! sanda kuri.
23And they said, This is blood: the kings are surely slain, and they have smitten one another: now therefore, Moab, to the spoil.
23 I ne: «Woone kuri no, bonkooney halaci. Sikka si boro kulu na nga cala kar. Sohõ, ya Mowab, kal iri ma wongu arzaka ku.»
24And when they came to the camp of Israel, the Israelites rose up and smote the Moabites, so that they fled before them: but they went forward smiting the Moabites, even in their country.
24 Kaŋ i kaa Israyla marga do, Israyla tun ka kay ka Mowabancey kar kal i zuru i jine. I koy jina ka furo laabo ra, i soobay ka Mowabancey kar.
25And 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 left they the stones thereof; howbeit the slingers went about it, and smote it.
25 I na kwaarey ŋwa. Fari hanney kulu boŋ i na tondi jindaw, boro kulu na nga wane jindaw, i n'a toonandi mo. I na hari-mwa kulu daabu ka tuuri-nya hanney kulu beeri hala Cir-Hareset. I n'a tondey hinne naŋ. Kulu nda yaadin finga-finga koyey n'a windi k'a kar.
26And when the king of Moab saw that the battle was too sore for him, he took with him seven hundred men that drew swords, to break through even unto the king of Edom: but they could not.
26 Alwaato kaŋ Mowab bonkoono di kaŋ wongo bisa nga gaabi, a sambu boro zangu iyye, alboro yaŋ, takubakoyey, nga ma fonda kosaraykoy daaru ka koy hala Edom bonkoono do, amma i mana hin.
27Then he took his eldest son that should have reigned 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.
27 Waato din gaa no a na nga ize hay-jina, kaŋ ga hima ka te bonkooni nga nangu ra sambu k'a salle sargay kaŋ i ga ton, kwaara birno boŋ. Woodin mo kande Israyla se futay dungo, hal i tun a do ka ye ka kaa ngey laabu.
