¹[Ny nanjakan'i Joahaza sy Joasy zanany tamin'ny Isiraely, ary ny nahafatesan'i Elisa] Tamin'ny taona fahatelo amby roa-polo nanjakan'i Joasy, zanak'i Ahazia, mpanjakan'ny Joda, no vao nanjakan'i Joahaza, zanak'i Jeho, tamin'ny Isiraely tany Samaria, ary nanjaka fito ambin'ny folo taona izy.

¹In the three and twentieth year of Joash the son of Ahaziah, king of Judah, Jehoahaz the son of Jehu began to reign over Israel in Samaria for seventeen years.

²Ary nanao izay ratsy eo imason'i Jehovah izy, fa nanaraka ny fahotan'i Jeroboama, zanak'i Nebata, izay nampanotany ny Isiraely; tsy niala tamin'izany izy.

²He did that which was evil in the sight of Yahweh, and followed the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, with which he made Israel to sin; he didn’t depart from it.

³Ary ny fahatezeran'i Jehovah nirehitra tamin'ny Isiraely, ka dia natolony teo an-tanan'i Hazaela, mpanjakan'i Syria, sy teo an-tanan'i Beni-hadada, zanak'i Hazaela, mandrakariva izy.

³The anger of Yahweh was kindled against Israel, and he delivered them into the hand of Hazael king of Syria, and into the hand of Benhadad the son of Hazael, continually.

⁴Ary Joahaza nifona tamin'i Jehovah, dia nohenoin'i Jehovah izy, satria hitany ny fahorian'ny Isiraely, fa nampahory azy ny mpanjakan'i Syria.

⁴Jehoahaz begged Yahweh, and Yahweh listened to him; for he saw the oppression of Israel, how that the king of Syria oppressed them.

⁵Ary Jehovah nanome mpamonjy ho amin'ny Isiraely, ka dia afaka tamin'ny tanan'ny Syriana izy; ary nandry fahizay toy ny teo aloha ny Zanak'Isiraely.

⁵(Yahweh gave Israel a savior, so that they went out from under the hand of the Syrians; and the children of Israel lived in their tents as before.

⁶Kanefa tsy niala tamin'ny fahotan'ny taranak'i Jeroboama, izay nampanotany ny Isiraely, izy, fa nandeha tamin'izany ihany, ary na dia ilay Aseraha aza dia mbola tao Samaria ihany.[Anaran'andriamani-tsi-izy, na ny sariny]

⁶Nevertheless they didn’t depart from the sins of the house of Jeroboam, with which he made Israel to sin, but walked therein: and there remained the Asherah also in Samaria.)

⁷Fa tsy nisy sisa navelan'i Jehovah ho an'i Joahaza, afa-tsy mpitaingin-tsoavaly dimam-polo sy kalesy folo ary miaramila an-tongotra iray alina; fa ny mpanjakan'i Syria efa nandringana azy ka nanao azy ho toy ny vovoka hitsakitsahina.

⁷For he didn’t leave to Jehoahaz of the people any more than fifty horsemen, and ten chariots, and ten thousand footmen; for the king of Syria destroyed them, and made them like the dust in threshing.

⁸Ary ny tantaran'i Joahaza sisa mbamin'izay rehetra nataony ary ny heriny, tsy efa voasoratra ao amin'ny bokin'ny tantaran'ny mpanjakan'ny Isiraely va izany?

⁸Now the rest of the acts of Jehoahaz, and all that he did, and his might, aren’t they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?

⁹Ary Joahaza lasa nodi-mandry any amin'ny razany, dia nalevina tao Samaria izy; ary Joasy zanany no nanjaka nandimby azy.

⁹Jehoahaz slept with his fathers; and they buried him in Samaria: and Joash his son reigned in his place.

¹⁰Tamin'ny taona fahafito amby telo-polo nanjakan'i Joasy, mpanjakan'ny Joda, no vao nanjakan'i Joasy, zanak'i Joahaza, tamin'ny Isiraely tany Samaria, ary nanjaka enina ambin'ny folo taona izy.

¹⁰In the thirty-seventh year of Joash king of Judah, Jehoash the son of Jehoahaz began to reign over Israel in Samaria for sixteen years.

¹¹Ary nanao izay ratsy eo imason'i Jehovah izy; fa tsy niala tamin'ny fahotana rehetra izay nataon'i Jeroboama, zanak'i Nebata, sady nampanotany ny Isiraely; fa nandeha tamin'izany ihany izy.

¹¹He did that which was evil in the sight of Yahweh; he didn’t depart from all the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, with which he made Israel to sin; but he walked therein.

¹²Ary ny tantaran'i Joasy sisa mbamin'izay rehetra nataony sy ny heriny niadiany tamin'i Amazia, mpanjakan'ny Joda, tsy efa voasoratra ao amin'ny bokin'ny tantaran'ny mpanjakan'ny Isiraely va izany?

¹²Now the rest of the acts of Joash, and all that he did, and his might with which he fought against Amaziah king of Judah, aren’t they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?

¹³Ary Joasy lasa nodi-mandry any amin'ny razany, ary Jeroboama nipetraka tamin'ny seza fiandrianany; ary Joasy dia nalevina tany Samaria tao amin'ny mpanjakan'ny Isiraely.

¹³Joash slept with his fathers; and Jeroboam sat on his throne: and Joash was buried in Samaria with the kings of Israel.

¹⁴Ary Elisa dia nararin'ny aretina izay hahafaty azy. Ary Joasy, mpanjakan'ny Isiraely, nidina nankany aminy ka niondrika nitomany teo ambonin'ny tavan'i Elisa ka nanao hoe: Ry ikaky ô, ry ikaky ô, ny kalesin'ny Isiraely sy ny mpitaingin-tsoavaliny!

¹⁴Now Elisha was fallen sick of his sickness of which he died: and Joash the king of Israel came down to him, and wept over him, and said, “My father, my father, the chariots of Israel and its horsemen!”

¹⁵Ary hoy Elisa taminy: Makà tsipìka sy zana-tsipìka. Ary dia naka tsipìka sy zana-tsipìka izy.

¹⁵Elisha said to him, “Take bow and arrows”; and he took to him bow and arrows.

¹⁶Ary hoy izy tamin'ny mpanjakan'ny Isiraely: Henjano ny tsipìka. Dia nohenjaniny; ary Elisa nametraka ny tànany teo amin'ny tanan'ny mpanjaka.

¹⁶He said to the king of Israel, “Put your hand on the bow”; and he put his hand on it. Elisha laid his hands on the king’s hands.

¹⁷Ary hoy izy: Vohay ny varavarankely atsinanana. Ary dia novohany. Dia hoy Elisa: Alefao. Ka dia nalefany. Ary hoy izy: Zana-tsipìkan'ny famonjen'i Jehovah, dia zana-tsipìkan'ny famonjena hahavoa ny Syriana! fa hamely ny Syriana ao Afeka ianao mandra-pandringanao azy.

¹⁷He said, “Open the window eastward”; and he opened it. Then Elisha said, “Shoot!” and he shot. He said, “Yahweh’s arrow of victory, even the arrow of victory over Syria; for you shall strike the Syrians in Aphek, until you have consumed them.”

¹⁸Ary hoy koa izy: Raiso ny zana-tsipìka. Dia noraisiny. Ary hoy izy tamin'ny mpanjakan'ny Isiraely: Kapohy ny tany. Ary nokapohiny intelo, dia nitsahatra izy.

¹⁸He said, “Take the arrows”; and he took them. He said to the king of Israel, “Strike the ground”; and he struck three times, and stopped.

¹⁹Ary ilay lehilahin'Andriamanitra dia tezitra taminy ka nanao hoe: Tokony ho nikapoka indimy na inenina ianao, dia ho nasianao ny Syriana mandra-pandringanao azy; fa izao dia intelo ihany no hamelezanao ny Syriana.

¹⁹The man of God was angry with him, and said, “You should have struck five or six times. Then you would have struck Syria until you had consumed it, whereas now you shall strike Syria just three times.”

²⁰Ary dia maty Elisa ka nalevina. Ary ny mpitoha adin'ny Moabita nananika ny tany amin'ny fitsingerenan'ny taona.

²⁰Elisha died, and they buried him. Now the bands of the Moabites invaded the land at the coming in of the year.

²¹Ary nisy nandevina olona, dia, indro, nahita ireo mpitoha ady izy, ka dia natsipiny tao am-pasan'i Elisa ny faty; ary raha vao nitehika tamin'ny taolan'i Elisa ny fatin-dralehilahy, dia velona izy ka nijoro tamin'ny tongony.

²¹It happened, as they were burying a man, that behold, they spied a band; and they cast the man into the tomb of Elisha: and as soon as the man touched the bones of Elisha, he revived, and stood up on his feet.

²²Ary Hazaela, mpanjakan'i Syria, nampahory ny Isiraely tamin'ny andro rehetra nanjakan'i Joahaza.

²²Hazael king of Syria oppressed Israel all the days of Jehoahaz.

²³Fa Jehovah namindra fo taminy sy niantra azy ary nitsinjo azy noho ny fanekeny tamin'i Abrahama sy Isaka ary Jakoba, ka tsy ta-handringana azy na hanaisotra azy tsy ho eo anatrehany mandraka ankehitriny.

²³But Yahweh was gracious to them, and had compassion on them, and had respect to them, because of his covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and would not destroy them, neither cast he them from his presence as yet.

²⁴Ary maty Hazaela, mpanjakan'i Syria; ary Beni-hadada zanany no nanjaka nandimby azy.Ary Joasy, zanak'i Joahaza, naka indray teo an-tànan'i Beni-hadada, zanak'i Hazaela, ny tanàna izay efa nalain'i Hazaela teo an-tànan'i Joahaza, rain'i Joasy, tamin'ny ady. Intelo no nandresen'i Joasy azy, ka dia azony indray ny tanànan'ny Isiraely.

²⁴Hazael king of Syria died; and Benhadad his son reigned in his place.

²⁵Ary Joasy, zanak'i Joahaza, naka indray teo an-tànan'i Beni-hadada, zanak'i Hazaela, ny tanàna izay efa nalain'i Hazaela teo an-tànan'i Joahaza, rain'i Joasy, tamin'ny ady. Intelo no nandresen'i Joasy azy, ka dia azony indray ny tanànan'ny Isiraely.

²⁵Jehoash the son of Jehoahaz took again out of the hand of Benhadad the son of Hazael the cities which he had taken out of the hand of Jehoahaz his father by war. Joash struck him three times, and recovered the cities of Israel.
