1And Jehoshaphat had riches and honour in abundance; and he allied himself with Ahab by marriage.
1 Yehosafat binde gonda arzaka nda darza boobo. A na amaana te da Ahab hiijay do.
2And after [certain] years he went down to Ahab, to Samaria. And Ahab killed sheep and oxen for him in abundance, and for the people that were with him, and urged him to go up against Ramoth-Gilead.
2 Jiiri fooyaŋ banda a koy Ahab do Samariya. Ahab mo na haw da feeji boobo wi a se, da borey kaŋ go a banda yaŋ mo se. A n'a candi a ma koy ka wongu nda Ramot-Jileyad nga banda.
3And Ahab king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat king of Judah, Wilt thou go with me to Ramoth-Gilead? And he said to him, I am as thou, and my people as thy people; and [I will be] with thee in the war.
3 Kala Israyla bonkoono Ahab ne Yahuda bonkoono Yehosafat se: «D'a-ta day, ni ga koy ay banda iri ma koy Ramot-Jileyad?» Nga mo tu a se ka ne: «In da nin, kulu afo. Ay jama mo sanda ni jama cine no. In da nin no care banda wongo din ra.»
4And Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel, Inquire, I pray thee, this day of the word of Jehovah.
4 Yehosafat ye ka ne Israyla bonkoono se: «Ay ga ni ŋwaaray, hunkuna iri ma fondo hã Rabbi gaa.»
5And the king of Israel assembled the prophets, four hundred men, and said to them, Shall we go against Ramoth-Gilead to battle, or shall I forbear? And they said, Go up, and God will give it into the king's hand.
5 Kala Israyla bonkoono na annabey margu, i boro zangu taaci. A ne i se: «Iri ma koy Ramot-Jileyad ka wongu, wala iri ma naŋ?» I ne a se: «Kaaru, zama Irikoy g'a daŋ bonkoono kambe ra.»
6But Jehoshaphat said, Is there not here a prophet of Jehovah besides, that we might inquire of him?
6 Amma Yehosafat ye ka ne: «Borey wo banda, Rabbi annabi fo si no neewo, kaŋ gaa iri ga hã, wala?»
7And 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 always evil: [it is] Micah the son of Imlah. And Jehoshaphat said, Let not the king say so.
7 Kala Israyla bonkoono ne Yehosafat se: «A cindi boro folloŋ kaŋ do iri ga Rabbi hã, amma ay konn'a, zama duumi a si annabitaray hanno te ay se, kala day laala han kulu. Mikaya Imla izo no.» Yehosafat binde ne: «Bonkoono ma si ci yaadin!»
8Then the king of Israel called a chamberlain, and said, Fetch quickly Micah the son of Imlah.
8 Waato din gaa no Israyla bonkoono na mantaw fo ce ka ne a ma koy ka kande Mikaya Imla izo da waasi.
9And the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah, having put on their robes, sat each on his throne; and they sat in an open place at the entrance of the gate of Samaria; and all the prophets prophesied before them.
9 Kala Israyla bonkoono da Yahuda bonkoono Yehosafat goro, i afo kulu nga karga boŋ, da koytaray bankaaray. I go batama bambata fo ra Samariya birno meyo gaa. Annabey kulu mo go ga annabitaray te i jine.
10And 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.
10 Zedeciya Kenana ize na guuru hilliyaŋ te ka ne: «Yaa no Rabbi ci, woone yaŋ no ni ga Suriya borey tuti nd'a, kal i ma halaci.»
11And all the prophets prophesied so, saying, Go up to Ramoth-Gilead, and prosper; for Jehovah will give it into the king's hand.
11 Annabey kulu mo go ga annabitaray te yaadin cine ka ne: «Ma kaaru ka koy Ramot-Jileyad. Ma te zaama, zama Rabbi g'a daŋ bonkoono kambe ra.»
12And the messenger that went to call Micah spoke to him saying, Behold, the words of the prophets [declare] good to the king with one assent: let thy word therefore, I pray thee, be like one of theirs, and declare good.
12 Diya kaŋ koy ka Mikaya ce din ne a se: «Guna, annabey goono ga sanni hanno ci koyo se me folloŋ. A binde, ay ga ni ŋwaaray, ni ma naŋ nin d'ey sanney ma saba. Ni ma gomni sanni te.»
13And Micah said, As Jehovah liveth, even what my God shall say, that will I declare.
13 Mikaya ne: «Ay ze da Rabbi fundikoono, haŋ kaŋ ay Irikoyo ci, nga no ay mo ga ci.»
14And he came to the king. And the king said to him, Micah, shall we go against Ramoth-Gilead to battle, or shall I forbear? And he said, Go ye up, and prosper; and they will be given into your hands.
14 Waato kaŋ a kaa bonkoono do, bonkoono ne a se: «Mikaya, iri ma koy Ramot-Jileyad ka wongu, wala ya naŋ?» A ne a se: «Kaaru, araŋ ma te zaama. I g'i daŋ araŋ kambe ra.»
15And the king said to him, How many times shall I adjure thee that thou tell me nothing but truth in the name of Jehovah?
15 Bonkoono ne a se: «Sorro marge no ay ga ni daŋ zeyaŋ ni ma si hay kulu ci ay se Rabbi maa ra kala cimi?»
16And 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.
16 Mikaya ne: «To. Ay di Israyla kulu go say-sayante yaŋ tondi kuukey boŋ, sanda feejiyaŋ kaŋ sinda kuruko. Kala Rabbi ne: ‹Woone yaŋ wo sinda bonkooni. Naŋ i afo kulu ma ye nga kwaara baani samay.› »
17And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, Did I not tell thee that he prophesies no good concerning me, but evil?
17 Israyla bonkoono ne Yehosafat se: «Ay mana ne ni se a si annabitaray hanno te ay se, kal ilaalo?»
18And he said, Hear ye therefore the word of Jehovah: I saw Jehovah sitting upon his throne, and all the host of heaven standing on his right hand and on his left;
18 Mikaya ye ka ne koyne: «Woodin sabbay se, wa maa Rabbi sanno: Ay di Rabbi go ga goro nga karga boŋ, beene kundey kulu mo go ga kay a kambe ŋwaari d'a kambe wow haray.
19and Jehovah said, Who shall entice Ahab king of Israel that he may go up and fall at Ramoth-Gilead? And one spoke saying after this manner, and another saying after that manner.
19 Rabbi ne: ‹May no ga Israyla bonkoono Ahab halli zama a ma koy Ramot-Jileyad ka kaŋ?› Kal i ra afo ma hay fo ci, afo mo ma hay fo waani ci.
20And there came forth a spirit, and stood before Jehovah and said, I will entice him. And Jehovah said unto him, Wherewith?
20 Kala biya* fo go, a fatta ka kay Rabbi jine ka ne: ‹Ay no g'a halli.› Rabbi ne a se: ‹Mate cine no ni g'a halli nd'a?›
21And 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.
21 A ne: ‹Ay wo ga fatta no ka ciya tangari biya a annabey kulu meyey ra.› Rabbi ne: ‹Ni ga hin k'a fafagu, ka hin a mo. Ma koy ka te yaadin.›
22And now, behold, Jehovah has put a lying spirit in the mouth of these thy prophets; and Jehovah has spoken evil concerning thee.
22 Sohõ binde, a go, Rabbi na tangari biya daŋ ni annabey wo meyey ra. Rabbi na hasaraw ci ni boŋ mo.»
23Then Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah went near, and smote Micah upon the cheek, and said, Which way now went the Spirit of Jehovah from me to speak to thee?
23 Waato din gaa no Zedeciya Kenana izo maan ka Mikaya saŋ garba gaa ka ne: «Fondo woofo no Rabbi Biya gana kaŋ a fun ay do ka koy ka salaŋ ni se?»
24And Micah said, Behold, thou shalt see on that day when thou shalt go from chamber to chamber to hide thyself.
24 Mikaya ne: «A go, han din hane ni ga di, waati kaŋ ni ga furo fu tongo-tongo ra ni ma tugu se.»
25And the king of Israel said, Take ye Micah, and carry him back to Amon the governor of the city, and to Joash the king's son;
25 Israyla bonkoono ne: «Wa Mikaya sambu ka ye nd'a Amon kaŋ ga birno batu do, da bonkoono izo Yowasa.
26and ye shall 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 return in peace.
26 Araŋ ma ne: ‹Yaa no bonkoono ci: Wa boro wo daŋ kasu, k'a ŋwaayandi nda taabi buuru, da taabi hari hala ay ma ye ka kaa baani.› »
27And Micah said, If thou return at all in peace, Jehovah has not spoken by me. And he said, Hearken, O peoples, all of you!
27 Mikaya ne: «Hala day haciika ni ye ka kaa baani samay to, kulu Rabbi mana salaŋ ay me ra no.» A ne «Ya araŋ jama kulu, wa hangan ka maa.»
28And the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah went up to Ramoth-Gilead.
28 Israyla bonkoono binde, nga nda Yahuda bonkoono Yehosafat ziji ka koy Ramot-Jileyad.
29And 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 they went into the battle.
29 Israyla bonkoono mo ne Yehosafat se: «Ay wo, ay g'ay himando bare no ka furo wongo ra. Amma nin wo, ma ni bankaaray daŋ.» Israyla bonkoono binde na nga himando bare, i furo wongo ra mo.
30And the king of Syria commanded the captains of his chariots saying, Fight neither with small nor great, but with the king of Israel only.
30 Suriya bonkoono binde jin ka nga yaarukomey kaŋ yaŋ go torkey boŋ lordi ka ne i se: «Araŋ ma si wongu nda boro kulu, da ibeeri no wala ikayna no, kala day Israyla bonkoono hinne.»
31And it came to pass when the captains of the chariots saw Jehoshaphat, that they said, That is the king of Israel; and they surrounded him to fight; and Jehoshaphat cried out, and Jehovah helped him; and God diverted them from him.
31 A ciya binde, waati kaŋ torkey boŋ yaarukomey di Yehosafat, i ho hala Israyla bonkoono no. I binde bare zama ngey m'a wongu. Amma Yehosafat na nga jinde sambu, Rabbi mo n'a gaa. Irikoy naŋ i ma fay d'a.
32And 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.
32 A ciya mo, waati kaŋ torkey boŋ yaarukomey di kaŋ manti Israyla bonkoono no, kal i bare ka fay d'a ganayaŋ.
33And a man drew a bow at a venture, and smote the king of Israel between the fastenings and the corslet. And he said to the charioteer, Turn thy hand and drive me out of the camp; for I am wounded.
33 Kala boro fo na nga hangaw taŋ yaamo-yaamo. A na Israyla bonkoono hay wongu guuru kwaayo da gunde daabirjo game ra. Woodin se no a ne torka gaaraykwa se: «Ni kamba bare k'ay sambu ka kaa marga ra, zama i n'ay guuru gumo.»
34And the battle increased that day; and the king of Israel stayed himself up in his chariot against the Syrians until the even; and about the time of the going down of the sun he died.
34 Wongo binde koroŋ han din hane. Israyla bonkoono na nga bine gaabandi ka jeeri nga torka ra. A goono ga wongu nda Suriya bonkoono kala wiciri kambu. Wayna kaŋ yaŋ waate no a bu.
