1Now Jehoshaphat had riches and honor in abundance; and he joined affinity with Ahab.
1Nabal lix lokßal ut lix biomal li rey Josafat. Ut qui-oc chokß rechßalal li rey Acab xban nak queßsumla li ralal xcßajoleb.
2After certain years he went down to Ahab to Samaria. Ahab killed sheep and cattle for him in abundance, and for the people who were with him, and moved him to go up with him to Ramoth Gilead.
2Nak ac xnumeß cuib oxib chihab chic laj Josafat cô Samaria chirulaßaninquil li rey Acab. Laj Acab quixcamsi nabaleb li carner ut li bôyx re teßxninkßei lix cßulunic laj Josafat ut eb li cuanqueb rochben. Ut laj Acab quixkßunbesi laj Josafat re tâxic chirix chi pletic riqßuineb laj Ramot li cuanqueb saß xcuênt Galaad.
3Ahab king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat king of Judah, “Will you go with me to Ramoth Gilead?” He answered him, “I am as you are, and my people as your people. We will be with you in the war.”
3Laj Acab lix reyeb laj Israel quixye re laj Josafat lix reyeb laj Judá: —¿Ma tâcuaj xic chicuix chi pletic riqßuineb li tenamit Ramot li cuan saß xcuênt Galaad? chan. Ut laj Josafat quixye re: —Lâin, joß eb ajcuiß lin soldados cuanco re êtenkßanquil. Lâo toxic chi pletic êrochben, chan.
4Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel, “Please inquire first for the word of Yahweh.”
4Abanan nintzßâma châcuu nak tâpatzß re li Dios ma târaj aßan nak toxic chi pletic malaj ut incßaß, chan.
5Then the king of Israel gathered the prophets together, four hundred men, and said to them, “Shall we go to Ramoth Gilead to battle, or shall I forbear?” They said, “Go up; for God will deliver it into the hand of the king.”
5Joßcan nak lix reyeb laj Israel quixchßutubeb câhib ciento li profetas ut quixye reheb: —¿Ma us nak toxic chi pletic aran Ramot xcuênt Galaad? chan. Ut eb li profetas queßxye: —Us texxic chi pletic xban nak li Kâcuaß tixkßaxtesi li tenamit Ramot saß âcuukß lâat, chanqueb.
6But Jehoshaphat said, “Isn’t there here a prophet of Yahweh besides, that we may inquire of him?”
6Abanan laj Josafat quixpatzß: —¿Ma mâcßaß ta biß junak xprofeta li Dios arin naru topatzßok cuiß? chan.
7The king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, “There is yet one man by whom we may inquire of Yahweh; but I hate him, for he never prophesies good concerning me, but always evil. He is Micaiah the son of Imla.” Jehoshaphat said, “Don’t let the king say so.”
7Ut lix reyeb laj Israel quixye re laj Josafat: —Cuan jun chic profeta naru naxye ke cßaßru naraj li Dios. Aßan laj Micaías li ralal laj Imla. Abanan xicß nacuil xban nak mâ jun sut naxye châbil esilal cue. Junes incßaß us naxye cue, chan. Abanan laj Josafat quixye re: —At rey, mâye chi joßcan, chan.
8Then the king of Israel called an officer, and said, “Get Micaiah the son of Imla quickly.”
8Ut lix reyeb laj Israel quixbok jun li natenkßan re ut quixye re: —¡Cßam chak saß junpât laj Micaías, li ralal laj Imla! chan.
9Now the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah sat each on his throne, arrayed in their robes, and they were sitting in an open place at the entrance of the gate of Samaria; and all the prophets were prophesying before them.
9Lix reyeb laj Israel ut laj Josafat lix reyeb laj Judá chunchûqueb saß lix cßojaribâl chire li oquebâl re li tenamit Samaria. Tikibanbileb riqßuin li châbil akß li nequeßrocsi li rey. Chixjunileb li profeta yôqueb chixyebal reheb li cßaßru tâcßulmânk.
10Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah made him horns of iron, and said, “Thus says Yahweh, ‘With these you shall push the Syrians, until they are consumed.’”
10Li profeta Sedequías, li ralal laj Quenaana, quixyîb li xucub riqßuin chßîchß ut yô chixjapbal re chixyebal: —Joßcaßin xye li Kâcuaß. “Riqßuineb li xucub aßin tâxekßeb laj Siria toj retal tâsach ruheb chixjunileb” chan.
11All the prophets prophesied so, saying, “Go up to Ramoth Gilead, and prosper; for Yahweh will deliver it into the hand of the king.”
11Juntakßêt li yôqueb chixyebal chixjunileb li profeta. Queßxye: —Ayukex chi pletic riqßuineb laj Ramot li cuan saß xcuênt Galaad. Texnumtâk saß xbêneb xban nak li Kâcuaß tixkßaxtesiheb saß âcuukß, at rey, chanqueb.
12The messenger who went to call Micaiah spoke to him, saying, “Behold, the words of the prophets declare good to the king with one mouth. Let your word therefore, please be like one of theirs, and speak good.”
12Nak yô chi cßulmânc aßin, li cuînk li quitaklâc chixcßambal chak laj Micaías quixye re: —Chixjunileb li profeta yôqueb chixyebal nak teßrêchani li plêt. Nintzßâma châcuu nak joßcan ajcuiß tâye lâat, chan re.
13Micaiah said, “As Yahweh lives, what my God says, that will I speak.”
13Abanan laj Micaías quixye: —Saß xcßabaß li yoßyôquil Dios, lâin tinye reheb li cßaßru tixye cue li Kâcuaß lin Dios, chan. Ut cô riqßuin li rey.
14When he had come to the king, the king said to him, “Micaiah, shall we go to Ramoth Gilead to battle, or shall I forbear?” He said, “Go up, and prosper. They shall be delivered into your hand.”
14Li rey Acab quixye re: —At Micaías, ¿ma us toxic chi pletic riqßuineb laj Ramot li cuan saß xcuênt Galaad malaj ut incßaß toxic? chan. Ut laj Micaías quixye re: —Texxic chi pletic. Têrêchani li plêt xban nak li Kâcuaß tixkßaxtesi saß êrukß, chan.
15The king said to him, “How many times shall I adjure you that you speak to me nothing but the truth in the name of Yahweh?”
15Li rey quixye re: —¿Jarub sut tinye âcue nak tat-âtinak saß xcßabaß li Kâcuaß Dios junelic tâye li yâl? chan.
16He said, “I saw all Israel scattered on the mountains, as sheep that have no shepherd. Yahweh said, ‘These have no master. Let them return every man to his house in peace.’”
16Ut li profeta Micaías quixye re: —Lâin xcuil nak chixjunileb li soldado aj Israel yôqueb chixchaßchaßinquil ribeb chiru li tzûl. Chanchaneb li carner li mâcßaß aj ilol reheb. Ut li Kâcuaß quixye cue, “Eb li cristian aßin mâcßaß aj ilol reheb. Cheßsukßîk saß li rochocheb chixjûnkaleb chi cßojcßo xchßôleb,” chan.
17The king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, “Didn’t I tell you that he would not prophesy good concerning me, but evil?”
17Ut laj Acab lix reyeb laj Israel quixye re laj Josafat: —¿Ma incßaß ta biß xinye âcue nak li cuînk aßin junes incßaß us naxye cue? Mâ jun sut naxye li us, chan.
18Micaiah said, “Therefore hear the word of Yahweh: I saw Yahweh sitting on his throne, and all the army of heaven standing on his right hand and on his left.
18Li profeta Micaías quixye ajcuiß: —Qßueomak retal li cßaßru quixcßutbesi chicuu li Kâcuaß. Xcuil li Kâcuaß cßojcßo saß lix cßojaribâl saß choxa. Ut chixjunileb lix ángel xakxôqueb chixcßatk. Cuanqueb saß lix nim ukß ut cuanqueb saß lix tzße.
19Yahweh said, ‘Who shall entice Ahab king of Israel, that he may go up and fall at Ramoth Gilead?’ One spoke saying in this way, and another saying in that way.
19Ut li Kâcuaß quixye, “Cuan ta junak tâxic chixbalakßinquil laj Acab lix reyeb laj Israel re nak tâxic Ramot xcuênt Galaad re tâcamsîk,” chan. Cuanqueb li ángel queßxye jun naßleb ut cuanqueb li queßxye jalan.
20A spirit came out, stood before Yahweh, and said, ‘I will entice him.’ “Yahweh said to him, ‘How?’
20Ut jun li musikßej quichal chi ubej ut quixye, “Lâin tinxic chixbalakßinquil laj Acab,” chan. Ut li Kâcuaß quixye re, “¿Chanru tâbânu nak tâbalakßi?” chan.
21“He said, ‘I will go forth, and will be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets.’ “He said, ‘You will entice him, and will prevail also. Go forth, and do so.’
21Li musikßej quixye: Lâin tin-oc riqßuineb chixjunileb li profeta re nak teßxye ticßtiß re laj Acab, chan. Ut li Kâcuaß quixye re: Us. Ayu ut balakßi laj Acab. Bânu joß xaye, chan.
22“Now therefore, behold, Yahweh has put a lying spirit in the mouth of these your prophets; and Yahweh has spoken evil concerning you.”
22Ut laj Micaías quixye ajcuiß re: —Aßan aßin li quicßulman. Li Kâcuaß quixtakla jun li musikßej riqßuineb lâ profeta re nak teßxye ticßtiß âcue, xban nak ac tenebanbil chak raylal saß âbên xban li Kâcuaß, chan laj Micaías.
23Then Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah came near, and struck Micaiah on the cheek, and said, “Which way did the Spirit of Yahweh go from me to speak to you?”
23Ut li profeta Sedequías, li ralal laj Quenaana, quinachßoc riqßuin laj Micaías ut quixsacß chi rukß saß xnakß ru ut quixye re: —¿Ma x-el ta biß cuiqßuin lix musikß li Dios re tâxic chi âtinac âcuiqßuin? chan.
24Micaiah said, “Behold, you shall see on that day, when you shall go into an inner room to hide yourself.”
24Ut laj Micaías quixye re: —Nak yôkat chixmukbal âcuib saß eb li cab, tojoßnak tâqßue retal ma yâl na li yôquin chixyebal, chan.
25The king of Israel said, “Take Micaiah, and carry him back to Amon the governor of the city, and to Joash the king’s son;
25Chirix aßan li rey Acab quixye: —Chapomak laj Micaías ut têcßam riqßuin laj Amón li nataklan saß li tenamit. Ut têcßam riqßuin laj Joás li cualal.
26and say, ‘Thus says the king, “Put this fellow in the prison, and feed him with bread of affliction and with water of affliction, until I return in peace.”’”
26Ut têye reheb nak lâin xinye nak teßxqßue saß tzßalam ut junes caxlan cua ut haß teßxqßue re toj retal tinsukßîk chak lâin chi sa saß inchßôl, chan.
27Micaiah said, “If you return at all in peace, Yahweh has not spoken by me.” He said, “Listen, you peoples, all of you!”
27Ut laj Micaías quixye re: —Cui lâat tatsukßîk chak chi sa saß âchßôl, mâcuaß li Kâcuaß xyehoc cue li xinye, chan. Ut quixye reheb li tenamit: —Chêjunilex lâex qßuehomak retal li xinye, chan.
28So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah went up to Ramoth Gilead.
28Queßcôeb ut lix reyeb laj Israel ut laj Josafat lix reyeb laj Judá chi pletic saß li tenamit Ramot, li cuan saß xcuênt Galaad.
29The king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, “I will disguise myself, and go into the battle; but you put on your robes.” So the king of Israel disguised himself; and they went into the battle.
29Ut lix reyeb laj Israel quixye re laj Josafat: —Lâin tinjal li cuakß nak tintiquib pletic re nak incßaß teßxnau cuu. Ut lâat tâqßue lâ cuakß li nacacuocsi junelic, chan. Ut li rey Acab quixjal li rakß ut cô chi pletic.
30Now the king of Syria had commanded the captains of his chariots, saying, “Fight neither with small nor great, except only with the king of Israel.”
30Lix reyeb laj Siria ac quixye reheb li nequeßtaklan saß xbêneb li nequeßxic saß eb li carruaje nak incßaß teßpletik riqßuineb lix soldâdeb laj Israel. Caßaj cuiß riqßuin lix reyeb laj Israel teßpletik.
31It happened, when the captains of the chariots saw Jehoshaphat, that they said, “It is the king of Israel!” Therefore they turned around to fight against him. But Jehoshaphat cried out, and Yahweh helped him; and God moved them to depart from him.
31Nak queßril li rey Josafat, queßxcßoxla nak aßan laj Acab, lix reyeb laj Israel. Ut queßcôeb chixcamsinquil. Laj Josafat quixjap re ut li Kâcuaß quitenkßan re ut quixram xbeheb li soldado aj Siria re nak incßaß teßxcamsi laj Josafat.
32It happened, when the captains of the chariots saw that it was not the king of Israel, that they turned back from pursuing him.
32Nak queßxqßue retal nak mâcuaß laj Acab, lix reyeb laj Israel, queßxcanab râlinanquil.
33A certain man drew his bow at random, and struck the king of Israel between the joints of the armor. Therefore he said to the driver of the chariot, “Turn your hand, and carry me out of the army; for I am severely wounded.”
33Abanan jun li soldado laj Siria quixcut lix tzimaj chi incßaß quixcßoxla nak toxtau li rey. Ut li tzimaj aßan quixtau li rey Acab. Qui-oc saß xcßulbal rib li rakß chßîchß li naxcol cuiß rib.

34The battle increased that day. However the king of Israel propped himself up in his chariot against the Syrians until the evening; and about the time of the going down of the sun, he died.
34Cau yôqueb chi pletic chiru chixjunil li cutan aßan. Nak yôqueb chi pletic, quixxakab rib li rey Acab saß lix carruaje ut yô chi iloc cuanqueb cuiß li soldado aj Siria. Nak qui-ecuu, li rey Acab quicam.
