¹And they continued three years without war between Syria and Israel.

¹[Ny nikambanan'i Ahaba sy Josafata hiady amin'ny Syriana, sy ny nakany hevitra tamin'ny mpaminany, ary ny nahafatesan'i Ahaba] Ary nandry fahizay ny Syriana sy ny Isiraely telo taona, fa tsy niady.

²And it came to pass in the third year, that Jehoshaphat the king of Judah came down to the king of Israel.

²Ary nony tamin'ny taona fahatelo, dia nidina Josafata, mpanjakan'ny Joda, ho any amin'ny mpanjakan'ny Isiraely.

³And the king of Israel said to his servants, Do ye know that Ramoth in Gilead is ours, and we keep quiet without taking it out of the hand of the king of Syria?

³Ary hoy ny mpanjakan'ny Isiraely tamin'ny mpanompony: Moa fantatrareo va fa antsika Ramota-gileada, nefa isika mitoetra foana ka tsy maka azy amin'ny tanan'ny mpanjakan'i Syria?

⁴And he said to Jehoshaphat, Wilt thou go with me to battle to Ramoth-Gilead? And Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel, I am as thou, my people as thy people, my horses as thy horses.

⁴Ary hoy koa izy tamin'i Josafata: Mba hiaraka amiko hiady an'i Ramota-gileada va ianao? Dia hoy Josafata tamin'ny mpanjakan'ny Isiraely. Eny, fa tahaka ny tenanao ihany aho, ka ny oloko dia olonao, ary ny soavaliko dia soavalinao.

⁵And Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel, Inquire, I pray thee, this day of the word of Jehovah.

⁵Ary hoy Josafata tamin'ny mpanjakan'ny Isiraely: Masìna ianao, anontanio aloha ny tenin'i Jehovah.

⁶And the king of Israel assembled the prophets, about four hundred men, and said to them, Shall I go against Ramoth-Gilead to battle, or shall I forbear? And they said, Go up, and the Lord will give it into the king's hand.

⁶Ary ny mpanjakan'ny Isiraely dia nanangona ny mpaminany tokony ho efa-jato lahy ka nanao taminy hoe: Handena hanafika an'i Ramota-gileada va aho, sa hijanona ihany? Dia hoy ireo: Mandehana, fa hatolotry ny Tompo eo an-tananao izy, ry mpanjaka.

⁷But Jehoshaphat said, Is there not here a prophet of Jehovah besides, that we might inquire of him?

⁷Ary hoy kosa Josafata: Moa tsy misy mpaminanin'i Jehovah koa va eto mba hanontaniantsika?

⁸And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, There is yet one man by whom we may inquire of Jehovah; but I hate him, for he prophesies no good concerning me, but evil: [it is] Micah the son of Imlah. And Jehoshaphat said, Let not the king say so.

⁸Dia hoy ny mpanjakan'ny Isiraely tamin'i Josafata: Mbola misy lehilahy iray ihany, dia Mikaia, zanak'i Jimla, izay ahazoantsika manontany amin'i Jehovah, saingy halako izy, satria tsy mba maminany soa ho ahy izy. fa loza ihany. Dia hoy Josafata: Aza manao izany, ry mpanjaka.

⁹Then the king of Israel called a chamberlain, and said, Fetch quickly Micah the son of Imlah.

⁹Ary ny mpanjakan'ny Isiraely niantso ny tandapa anankiray ka nanao taminy hoe: Alao faingana Mikaia, zanak'i Jimla.

¹⁰And the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah, having put on their robes, sat each on his throne, in the open place at the entrance of the gate of Samaria; and all the prophets prophesied before them.

¹⁰Ary ny mpanjakan'ny Isiraely sy Josafata, mpanjakan'ny Joda, samy nipetraka teo amin'ny seza fiandrianany avy teo amin'ny famoloana eo anoloan'ny vavahadin'i Samaria sady samy efa niakanjo ny akanjony avy; ary ny mpaminany rehetra naminany teo matrehany.

¹¹And Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah made for himself horns of iron, and he said, Thus saith Jehovah: With these shalt thou push the Syrians, until thou have exterminated them.

¹¹Ary Zedekia, zanak'i Kenana, dia nanao tandroby ka nanao hoe: Izao no lazain'i Jehovah: ireto no hanotoanao ny Syriana mandra-paharingany.

¹²And all the prophets prophesied so, saying, Go up to Ramoth-Gilead, and prosper; for Jehovah will give it into the king's hand.

¹²Ary ny mpaminany rehetra naminany toy izany koa hoe: Mandehana any Ramota-gileada, dia hambinina ianao; fa Jehovah hanolotra azy eo an-tananao, ry mpanjaka.

¹³And the messenger that went to call Micah spoke to him saying, Behold now, the words of the prophets [declare] good to the king with one assent: let thy word, I pray thee, be like the word of one of them, and speak good.

¹³Ary ilay iraka izay nandeha naka an'i Mikaia niteny taminy hoe: Indro fa efa iray teny avokoa izao ny mpaminany ka milaza soa ho an'ny mpanjaka; masìna ianao, aoka re ny teninao mba ho tahaka ny an'ny anankiray amin'ireo, ka mba mitenena soa koa.

¹⁴And Micah said, As Jehovah liveth, even what Jehovah shall say to me, that will I speak.

¹⁴Ary hoy Mikaia: Raha velona koa Jehovah, dia izay lazain'i Jehovah amiko ihany no hambarako.

¹⁵And he came to the king. And the king said to him, Micah, shall we go against Ramoth-Gilead to battle, or shall we forbear? And he said to him, Go up, and prosper; for Jehovah will give it into the hand of the king.

¹⁵Dia nankany amin'ny mpanjaka izy. Ary hoy ny mpanjaka taminy: Ry Mikaia, handeha hanafika an'i Ramota-gileada va isika, sa hijanona ihany? Ary izy namaly azy hoe: Mandehana, fa hambinina ianao, fa hatolotr'i Jehovah eo an-tananao izy, ry mpanjaka.

¹⁶And the king said to him, How many times shall I adjure thee that thou tell me nothing but truth in the name of Jehovah?

¹⁶Ary hoy ny mpanjaka taminy: Impiry no hampianianako anao mba tsy hilaza na inona na inona amiko amin'ny anaran'i Jehovah afa-tsy izay marina ihany

¹⁷And he said, I saw all Israel scattered upon the mountains, as sheep that have no shepherd. And Jehovah said, These have no master: let them return every man to his house in peace.

¹⁷Dia hoy Mikaia Hitako fa indreny ny Isiraely rehetra niely teny an-tendrombohitra toy ny ondry tsy misy mpiandry, ary hoy Jehovah: Ireto efa tsy manan-tompo, aoka izy samy hody soa aman-tsara any an-tranony avy.

¹⁸And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, Did I not tell thee that he prophesies no good concerning me, but evil?

¹⁸Dia hoy ny mpanjakan'ny Isiraely tamin'i Josafata: Tsy efa voalazako taminao va fa tsy mba mety maminany soa ho ahy izy, fa loza ihany?

¹⁹And he said, Hear therefore the word of Jehovah: I saw Jehovah sitting upon his throne, and all the host of heaven standing by him, on his right hand and on his left;

¹⁹Ary hoy Mikaia: Henoy ary ny tenin'i Jehovah: Nahita an'i Jehovah nipetraka teo amin'ny seza fiandrianany aho, ary ireo maro be rehetra any an-danitra nitsangana teo andaniny avy, dia teo amin'ny ankavanany sy teo amin'ny ankaviany.

²⁰and Jehovah said, Who shall entice Ahab that he may go up and fall at Ramoth-Gilead? And one said after this manner, and another said after that manner.

²⁰Ary hoy Jehovah: Iza no hitaona an'i Ahaba handeha ho any Ramotagileada ka ho lavo any? Ary ny anankiray niteny toy izao, ary ny anankiray kosa niteny toy izao.

²¹And there came forth a spirit, and stood before Jehovah, and said, I will entice him.

²¹Dia nandroso ny fanahy ka nitsangana teo anatrehan'i Jehovah ary nanao hoe: Izaho no hitaona azy. Ary hoy Jehovah taminy: Amin'inona anefa?

²²And Jehovah said unto him, Wherewith? And he said, I will go forth, and will be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets. And he said, Thou shalt entice [him], and also succeed: go forth, and do so.

²²Dia hoy izy: Hivoaka aho ka ho tonga fanahy mandainga ao am-bavan'ny mpaminaniny rehetra. Dia hoy indray Jehovah: Ho voataonanao ihany izy, ka hahatanteraka ianao; mivoaha ary, ka ataovy izany.

²³And now, behold, Jehovah has put a lying spirit in the mouth of all these thy prophets, and Jehovah has spoken evil concerning thee.

²³Koa, indro, Jehovah efa nanisy fanahy mandainga ao am-bavan'ireto mpaminaninao rehetra ireto ary Izy koa efa nilaza ny loza hanjo anao.

²⁴Then Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah went near, and smote Micah upon the cheek, and said, Where now went the Spirit of Jehovah from me to speak to thee?

²⁴Fa Zedekia, zanak'i Kenana, nanatona, dia namely ny takolak'i Mikaia sady nanao hoe: Taiza no nialan'ny Fanahin'i Jehovah tamiko hiteny aminao?

²⁵And Micah said, Behold, thou shalt see on that day when thou shalt go from chamber to chamber to hide thyself.

²⁵Dia hoy Mikaia: Indro, ho hitanao izany amin'ny andro hidiranao ao amin'ny efi-trano anatiny hierenao.[Na: hitsofotsofohanao amin'ny efi-trano]

²⁶And the king of Israel said, Take Micah and carry him back to Amon the governor of the city, and to Joash the king's son;

²⁶Dia hoy ny mpanjakan'ny Isiraely: Raiso Mikaia, ka ento miverina izy ho any amin'i Amona, komandin'ny tanàna, sy ho any amin'i Joasy, zanaky ny mpanjaka,

²⁷and thou shalt say, Thus says the king: Put this [man] in the prison, and feed him with bread of affliction and with water of affliction, until I come in peace.

²⁷ka lazao hoe: Izao no lazain'ny mpanjaka: Ataovy ao an-trano-maizina ilehity, ka fahano mofom-pahoriana sy ranom-pahoriana izy mandra-pahatongako soa aman-tsara.

²⁸And Micah said, If thou return at all in peace, Jehovah has not spoken by me. And he said, Hearken, O peoples, all of you!

²⁸Fa hoy Mikaia: Raha tàhiny ho tafaverina soa aman-tsara ianao dia tsy nampitenenin'i Jehovah aho tsy akory. Ary hoy koa izy: Samia mihaino izany ianareo, ry firenena rehetra.

²⁹And the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah went up to Ramoth-Gilead.

²⁹Dia niakatra nankany Ramota-gileada ny mpanjakan'ny Isiraely sy Josafata, mpanjakan'ny Joda.

³⁰And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, I will disguise myself, and will enter into the battle; but put thou on thy robes. And the king of Israel disguised himself, and went into the battle.

³⁰Ary hoy ny mpanjakan'ny Isiraely tamin'i Josafata: Hody olon-kafa aho ka hitsarapaka any anatin'ny ady, fa ianao kosa dia miakanjoa ny akanjonao ihany. Dia nody olon-kafa ny mpanjakan'ny Isiraely ka nitsarapaka tany anatin'ny ady.

³¹And the king of Syria commanded the thirty-two captains of his chariots saying, Fight neither with small nor great, but with the king of Israel only.

³¹Fa ny mpanjakan'i Syria efa nandidy ny roa amby telo-polo lahy, komandin'ny kalesy, nanao hoe: Aza miady na amin'ny kely na amin'ny lehibe, afa-tsy amin'ny mpanjakan'ny Isiraely ihany.

³²And it came to pass when the captains of the chariots saw Jehoshaphat, that they said, Surely that is the king of Israel; and they turned against him to fight; and Jehoshaphat cried out.

³²Ary nony nahita an'i Josafata ireo komandin'ny kalesy, dia hoy izy: Iny mihitsy no mpanjakan'ny Isiraely. Dia nanatrika hiady taminy ireo; ka dia niantsoantso Josafata.

³³And it came to pass that when the captains of the chariots perceived that it was not the king of Israel, they turned back from pursuing him.

³³Ary rehefa hitan'ireo komandin'ny kalesy fa tsy ny mpanjakan'ny Isiraely izy, dia niverina niala taminy ireo.

³⁴And a man drew a bow at a venture, and smote the king of Israel between the fastenings and the corslet. And he said to his charioteer, Turn thy hand, and drive me out of the camp; for I am wounded.

³⁴Ary nisy lehilahy anankiray nandefa zana-tsipìka kitoatoa ka nahavoa ny mpanjakan'ny Isiraely teo anelanelan'ny fiarovan-tratrany sy ny eo ambaniny; ka dia hoy izy tamin'ny mpampandeha ny kalesiny: Ahodino, ka ento miala eto amin'ny ady aho, fa voa.

³⁵And the battle increased that day; and the king was stayed up in his chariot against the Syrians, and he died at even; and the blood of the wound ran out into the hollow of the chariot.

³⁵Ary nihamafy ny ady tamin'izany andro izany; ary ny mpanjaka notohanana hitsangana teo amin'ny kalesiny tandrifin'ny Syriana, ary dia maty izy nony efa harivariva ny andro; ary ny rà nandeha avy teo amin'ny efa voa ho ao anatin'ny kalesy.

³⁶And there went the cry throughout the host at the going down of the sun, saying, Every man to his city, and every man to his own country!

³⁶Ary nony efa hilentika ny masoandro, dia niely eran'ny toby rehetra izao antsoantso izao hoe: Samia mody any an-tanànany avy sy any amin'ny taniny avy!

³⁷And the king died, and was brought to Samaria; and they buried the king in Samaria.

³⁷Dia maty ny mpanjaka, ka nentina tany Samaria izy, dia nalevina tao.

³⁸And one washed the chariot in the pool of Samaria; and the dogs licked his blood, where the harlots bathed: according to the word of Jehovah, which he had spoken.

³⁸Ary nony nosasana teo am-parihin'i Samaria ny kalesiny, dia avy ny alika nilelaka ny ràny raha nandro tao ny vehivavy janga araka ny tenin'i Jehovah.

³⁹And the rest of the acts of Ahab, and all that he did, and the ivory house that he built, and all the cities that he built, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?

³⁹Ary ny tantaran'i Ahaba sisa mbamin'izay rehetra nataony sy ny trano ivory izay nataony ary ny tanàna rehetra izay naoriny, tsy efa voasoratra ao amin'ny bokin'ny tantaran'ny mpanjakan'ny Isiraely va izany?

⁴⁰And Ahab slept with his fathers; and Ahaziah his son reigned in his stead.

⁴⁰Ary Ahaba lasa nodi-mandry any amin'ny razany; ary Ahazia zanany no nanjaka nandimby azy.

⁴¹And Jehoshaphat the son of Asa began to reign over Judah in the fourth year of Ahab king of Israel.

⁴¹[Ny nanjakan'i Josafata tamin'ny Joda, sy Ahazia tamin'ny Isiraely] Ary Josafata, zanak'i Asa, vao nanjaka tamin'ny Joda tamin'ny taona fahefatra nanjakan'i Ahaba, mpanjakan'ny Isiraely.

⁴²Jehoshaphat was thirty-five years old when he began to reign; and he reigned twenty-five years in Jerusalem; and his mother's name was Azubah, the daughter of Shilhi.

⁴²Dimy amby telo-polo taona Josafata, fony izy vao nanjaka, ary dimy amby roa-polo taona no nanjakany tany Jerosalema. Ary ny anaran-dreniny dia Azoba, zanakavavin'i Sily.

⁴³And he walked in all the way of Asa his father; he turned not aside from it, doing what was right in the sight of Jehovah. Only, the high places were not removed: the people offered and burned incense still on the high places.

⁴³Ary nandeha tamin'ny lalana rehetra izay nalehan'i Asa rainy izy ka tsy niala tamin'izany, fa nanao izay mahitsy eo imason'i Jehovah;

⁴⁴And Jehoshaphat was at peace with the king of Israel.

⁴⁴kanefa kosa ny fitoerana avo tsy mba noravana, fa ny olona mbola namono zavatra hatao fanatitra sady mbola nandoro ditin-kazo manitra teny amin'ny fitoerana avo ihany.

⁴⁵And the rest of the acts of Jehoshaphat, and his might which he shewed, and how he warred, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?

⁴⁵Ary Josafata nanao fihavanana tamin'ny mpanjakan'ny Isiraely.

⁴⁶And the remainder of the sodomites, which were left in the days of his father Asa, he put away from out of the land.

⁴⁶Ary ny tantaran'i Josafata sisa sy ny heriny mbamin'ny niadiany, tsy efa voasoratra ao amin'ny bokin'ny tantaran'ny mpanjakan'ny Joda va izany?

⁴⁷And there was no king in Edom: a deputy reigned.

⁴⁷Ary ny sisa amin'ny olona izay nanolo-tena hijangajanga ho fanompoan-tsampy, dia Izay mbola tany tamin'ny andron'i Asa rainy, dia nofongorany hiala amin'ny tany.

⁴⁸Jehoshaphat made Tarshish-ships to go to Ophir for gold; but they went not, for the ships were broken at Ezion-geber.

⁴⁸Ary tsy nisy mpanjaka tany Edoma fahizay, fa olona voatendry no nitondra ny fanjakana.

⁴⁹Then said Ahaziah the son of Ahab to Jehoshaphat, Let my servants go with thy servants in the ships. But Jehoshaphat would not.

⁴⁹Ary Josafata nanao sambon'i Tarsisy folo hankany Ofira haka volamena; nefa tsy lasa ireo sambo ireo, fa nahavakiana tao Ezion-gebera.

⁵⁰And Jehoshaphat slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David his father; and Jehoram his son reigned in his stead.

⁵⁰Dia hoy Ahazia, zanak'i Ahaba, tamin'i Josafata: Aoka ny vahoakako hiaraka amin'ny vahoakanao any an-tsambo. Fa tsy nety Josafata.

⁵¹Ahaziah the son of Ahab began to reign over Israel in Samaria the seventeenth year of Jehoshaphat king of Judah; and he reigned two years over Israel.

⁵¹Ary Josafata lasa nodi-mandry any amin'ny razany, dia nalevina tao amin'ny razany tao an-Tanànan'i Davida rainy izy; ary Jehorama zanany no nanjaka nandimby azy.

⁵²And he did evil in the sight of Jehovah, and walked in the way of his father, and in the way of his mother, and in the way of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel to sin.

⁵²Ahazia, zanak'i Ahaba, vao nanjaka tamin'ny Isiraely tao Samaria tamin'ny taona fahafito ambin'ny folo nanjakan'i Josafata, mpanjakan'ny Joda; ary nanjaka roa taona tamin'ny Isiraely izy.

⁵³And he served Baal, and worshipped him, and provoked Jehovah the God of Israel to anger, according to all that his father had done.

⁵³Ary nanao izay ratsy eo imason'i Jehovah izy, fa nandeha tamin'ny lalan'ny rainy sy ny reniny ary tamin'ny lalan'i Jeroboama, zanak'i Nebata, izay nampanota ny Isiraely;ary nanompo an'i Bala izy, dia niankohoka teo anatrehany ka nampahatezitra an'i Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely, tahaka izay rehetra nataon-drainy.

⁵⁴ary nanompo an'i Bala izy, dia niankohoka teo anatrehany ka nampahatezitra an'i Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely, tahaka izay rehetra nataon-drainy.
