1They continued three years without war between Syria and Israel.
1 I te jiiri hinza kaŋ wongu mana te Suriya nda Israyla game ra.
2It happened in the third year, that Jehoshaphat the king of Judah came down to the king of Israel.
2 A ciya binde, jiiri hinzanta ra Yahuda bonkoono Yehosafat kaa Israyla bonkoono do.
3The king of Israel said to his servants, “You know that Ramoth Gilead is ours, and we are still, and don’t take it out of the hand of the king of Syria?”
3 Kala Israyla bonkoono ne nga tamey se: «Araŋ mana bay kaŋ Ramot-Jileyad wo iri wane no? Iri go mo ga dangay, iri man'a ta Suriya bonkoono gaa?»
4He said to Jehoshaphat, “Will you go with me to battle to Ramoth Gilead?” Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel, “I am as you are, my people as your people, my horses as your horses.”
4 A ne mo Yehosafat se: «Ni ga koy ay banda Ramot-Jileyad wongo do, wala?» Yehosafat ne Israyla bonkoono se: «Ay ya ni cine no, ay borey danga ni waney no, ay bariyey mo sanda ni waney cine yaŋ no.»
5Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel, “Please inquire first for the word of Yahweh.”
5 Yehosafat binde ne Israyla bonkoono se: «Ay ga ni ŋwaaray, ma Rabbi sanno ceeci hunkuna.»
6Then the king of Israel gathered the prophets together, about four hundred men, and said to them, “Shall I go against Ramoth Gilead to battle, or shall I forbear?” They said, “Go up; for the Lord will deliver it into the hand of the king.”
6 Gaa no Israyla bonkoono na annabey margu, boro sanda zangu taaci cine, ka ne i se: «Ay ma koy ka Ramot-Jileyad wongu, wala ya hin suuru?» I ne: «Kala ni ma koy, zama Koy Beero g'a daŋ bonkoono kambe ra.»
7But Jehoshaphat said, “Isn’t there here a prophet of Yahweh, that we may inquire of him?”
7 Amma Yehosafat ne: «Rabbi annabi fo si no neewo kaŋ waana woone yaŋ, kaŋ iri ga hã a do koyne?»
8The king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, “There is yet one man by whom we may inquire of Yahweh, Micaiah the son of Imlah; but I hate him; for he does not prophesy good concerning me, but evil.” Jehoshaphat said, “Don’t let the king say so.”
8 Israyla bonkoono ne Yehosafat se: «A cindi boro folloŋ jina kaŋ iri ga Rabbi sanni ceeci a do, Mikaya no, Imla izo. Amma ay ga konn'a, zama a si annabitaray hanno te ay boŋ, kala ilaalo.» Yehosafat mo ne bonkoono se: «Ma si ci yaadin!»
9Then the king of Israel called an officer, and said, “Quickly get Micaiah the son of Imlah.”
9 Israyla bonkoono binde na doogari ce ka ne: «Koy ka kande Mikaya Imla izo da waasi.»
10Now the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah were sitting each on his throne, arrayed in their robes, in an open place at the entrance of the gate of Samaria; and all the prophets were prophesying before them.
10 Israyla bonkoono da Yehosafat binde, i goono ga goro afo kulu nga karga boŋ, i koytaray bankaarayey go i gaa ga daabu. I go Samariya birno furanta batama fo ra. Annabey kulu mo goono ga annabitaray te i jine.
11Zedekiah 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.’”
11 Zedeciya Kenana izo na guuru hilliyaŋ te ka ne: «Haŋ kaŋ Rabbi ci neeya: ‹Woone yaŋ no ni ga Suriyancey tuti nd'a kal i m'a halaci.› »
12All the prophets prophesied so, saying, “Go up to Ramoth Gilead, and prosper; for Yahweh will deliver it into the hand of the king.”
12 Annabey kulu mo, yaadin no i soobay ka annabitaray te d'a ka ne: «Kala ni ma koy Ramot-Jileyad. Ma te zaama zama Rabbi g'a daŋ bonkoono kambe ra.»
13The messenger who went to call Micaiah spoke to him, saying, “See now, the prophets declare good to the king with one mouth. Please let your word be like the word of one of them, and speak good.”
13 Diya kaŋ koy ka Mikaya ce din binde salaŋ a se ka ne: «Guna, sohõ annabey kulu sanney, me folloŋ no i goono ga gomni salaŋ bonkoono se. Ay ga ni ŋwaaray, ma naŋ ni sanno ma saba nd'i waney, i ma ciya afo. Kala ni ma gomni sanni te.»
14Micaiah said, “As Yahweh lives, what Yahweh says to me, that I will speak.”
14 Mikaya ne: «Ay ze da Rabbi fundikoono, haŋ kaŋ Rabbi ci ay se, nga no ay ga ci.»
15When he had come to the king, the king said to him, “Micaiah, shall we go to Ramoth Gilead to battle, or shall we forbear?” He answered him, “Go up and prosper; and Yahweh will deliver it into the hand of the king.”
15 Waato kaŋ a kaa bonkoono do, bonkoono ne a se: «Mikaya, mate no? Hala iri ma koy Ramot-Jileyad wongu teeyaŋ se, wala mo iri ma hin suuru?» Mikaya tu bonkoono se ka ne: «Ma ziji ka te zaama. Rabbi g'a daŋ bonkoono kambe ra!»
16The king said to him, “How many times do I have to adjure you that you speak to me nothing but the truth in the name of Yahweh?”
16 Kala 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?»
17He said, “I saw all Israel scattered on the mountains, as sheep that have no shepherd. Yahweh said, ‘These have no master. Let them each return to his house in peace.’”
17 Mikaya ne: «Ay di Israyla kulu say-sayante tondey boŋ, danga feejiyaŋ kaŋ sinda hawji. Rabbi mo ne: ‹Woone yaŋ wo sinda koy, naŋ i afo kulu ma ye nga kwaara baani samay.› »
18The king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, “Didn’t I tell you that he would not prophesy good concerning me, but evil?”
18 Israyla bonkoono ne Yehosafat se: «Wala ay mana ci ni se ka ne a si gomni annabitaray te ay boŋ, kala ilaalo?»
19Micaiah said, “Therefore hear the word of Yahweh. I saw Yahweh sitting on his throne, and all the army of heaven standing by him on his right hand and on his left.
19 Kala Mikaya ne koyne: «Ma maa Rabbi sanni: Ay di Rabbi go ga goro nga karga boŋ, beena ra kundey kulu mo go a do ga kay, a kambe ŋwaari nd'a kambe wow gaa.
20Yahweh said, ‘Who shall entice Ahab, that he may go up and fall at Ramoth Gilead?’ One said one thing; and another said another.
20 Rabbi ne: ‹May no ga Ahab halli, hala a ma koy ka kaŋ Ramot-Jileyad?› Afo ma hay fo ci, afo mo hay fo waani.
21A spirit came out and stood before Yahweh, and said, ‘I will entice him.’
21 Kala biya fo fun ka kay Rabbi jine ka ne: ‹Ay wo g'a halli.›
22Yahweh said to him, ‘How?’ He said, ‘I will go out and will be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets.’ He said, ‘You will entice him, and will also prevail. Go out and do so.’
22 Rabbi ne a se: ‹Danga mate?› Biya din ne: ‹Ay ma fatta ka koy ka ciya tangari biya a annabey kulu me ra.› Rabbi ne: ‹Nin no g'a halli, ni ga te zaama mo. Ma koy, nin, ka te yaadin.›
23Now therefore, behold, Yahweh has put a lying spirit in the mouth of all these your prophets; and Yahweh has spoken evil concerning you.”
23 Sohõ binde, guna Rabbi na tangari biya daŋ ni annabey wo kulu me ra. Rabbi binde na hasaraw sanni te ni boŋ.»
24Then 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?”
24 Waato din gaa no Zedeciya Kenana izo maan ka Mikaya saŋ garba gaa ka ne: «Fondo woofo no Rabbi Biya sambu ay do hala a ma salaŋ ni se?»
25Micaiah said, “Behold, you will see on that day, when you go into an inner room to hide yourself.”
25 Mikaya ne: «Guna, han din hane ni ga di, waati kaŋ ni ga koy tongo-tongo ra ka tuguyaŋ do ceeci.»
26The king of Israel said, “Take Micaiah, and carry him back to Amon the governor of the city, and to Joash the king’s son.
26 Israyla bonkoono ne: «Wa Mikaya sambu ka ye nd'a kwaara koyo Amon da bonkoono izo Yowas do.
27Say, ‘Thus says the king, “Put this fellow in the prison, and feed him with bread of affliction and with water of affliction, until I come in peace.”’”
27 Araŋ ma ne: ‹Haŋ kaŋ bonkoono ci neeya: Wa boro wo daabu kasu ra, k'a kuru da taabi ŋwaari da taabi hari, hala ay ma ye ka kaa baani samay.› »
28Micaiah said, “If you return at all in peace, Yahweh has not spoken by me.” He said, “Listen, all you people!”
28 Mikaya ne: «Hala day ni ye ka kaa baani samay baa kayna, kulu Rabbi mana salaŋ ay me ra.» A ne koyne: «Ya jama kulu, wa hangan ka maa!»
29So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah went up to Ramoth Gilead.
29 Israyla bonkoono da Yahuda bonkoono Yehosafat ziji ka koy Ramot-Jileyad.
30The king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, “I will disguise myself, and go into the battle; but you put on your robes.” The king of Israel disguised himself, and went into the battle.
30 Israyla bonkoono binde ne Yehosafat se: «Ay wo, ay g'ay boŋ bare no hal i ma s'ay bay, ay ma furo wongo ra, amma nin wo ma koytaray bankaaray daŋ.» Israyla bonkoono binde na nga boŋ bare ka furo wongo ra.
31Now the king of Syria had commanded the thirty-two captains of his chariots, saying, Fight neither with small nor great, except only with the king of Israel.
31 Amma Suriya bonkoono na nga torko jine boro waranza cindi hinka lordi ka ne: «Araŋ ma si wongu nda ikayna wala nda ibeeri, kala Israyla bonkoono hinne.»
32It happened, when the captains of the chariots saw Jehoshaphat, that they said, “Surely that is the king of Israel!” and they turned aside to fight against him. Jehoshaphat cried out.
32 A ciya binde, waato kaŋ torkey jine borey di Yehosafat, i ne: «Woone, haciika Israyla bonkoono no.» I n'a daŋ game da wongu. Yehosafat binde na jinde sambu.
33It happened, when the captains of the chariots saw that it was not the king of Israel, that they turned back from pursuing him.
33 A ciya mo kaŋ i faham ka bay kaŋ manti Israyla bonkoono no, i bare ka fay d'a ganayaŋ.
34A 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 his chariot, “Turn your hand, and carry me out of the battle; for I am severely wounded.”
34 Amma boro fo na nga biraw candi ka hangaw taŋ yaamo-yaamo ka Israyla bonkoono hay wongu kwaayo dabey game ra. Woodin se no a ne nga torko gaaraykwa se: «Ni ma kamba ka bare ka konda ay wongu marga banda, zama i n'ay guuru gumo.»
35The battle increased that day. The king was propped up in his chariot facing the Syrians, and died at evening. The blood ran out of the wound into the bottom of the chariot.
35 Wongo koroŋ mo han din. I na bonkoono gaay nga torka ra, a goono ga Suriya borey do haray guna. Wiciri kambo ra a bu, kuri fun guuruyaŋo do mo ka mun torka daba gaa.
36A cry went throughout the army about the going down of the sun, saying, “Every man to his city, and every man to his country!”
36 Wayna kaŋanta waate, kal i maa yooje bambata kaŋ na wongu marga kulu kubay ka ne: «Boro kulu ma ye nga kwaara do. Boro kulu ma ye nga laabu!»
37So the king died, and was brought to Samaria; and they buried the king in Samaria.
37 Bonkoono binde bu. I kand'a mo Samariya ka bonkoono fiji Samariya ra.
38They washed the chariot by the pool of Samaria; and the dogs licked up his blood where the prostitutes washed themselves; according to the word of Yahweh which he spoke.
38 I n'a torka nyun Samariya bango me gaa haray, naŋ kaŋ kaaruwey ga nyumay. Hansey mo n'a kuro loogu Rabbi sanno kaŋ a ci din boŋ.
39Now the rest of the acts of Ahab, and all that he did, and the ivory house which he built, and all the cities that he built, aren’t they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
39 Ahab goy cindey binde, da hay kulu kaŋ a te, da windo kaŋ a taalam da cebeeri hinjey, da kwaarey kulu kaŋ a cina, manti i n'a hantum Israyla bonkooney baaru tira ra bo?
40So Ahab slept with his fathers; and Ahaziah his son reigned in his place.
40 Ahab binde kani nga kaayey banda. A ize Ahaziya te bonkooni Ahab nango ra.
41Jehoshaphat the son of Asa began to reign over Judah in the fourth year of Ahab king of Israel.
41 Yehosafat Asa izo na mayray sintin Yahuda ra, Israyla bonkoono Ahab koytara jiiri taacanta ra.
42Jehoshaphat was thirty-five years old when he began to reign; and he reigned twenty-five years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Azubah the daughter of Shilhi.
42 Yehosafat gonda jiiri waranza cindi gu kaŋ a sintin ka may. A may Urusalima ra jiiri waranka cindi gu. A nya maa ga ti Azuba, Silhi ize way no.
43He walked in all the way of Asa his father; He didn’t turn aside from it, doing that which was right in the eyes of Yahweh: however the high places were not taken away; the people still sacrificed and burnt incense in the high places.
43 A na nga baabo Asa fonda gana gumo. A mana kamba ka fay d'a zama nga ma te haŋ kaŋ ga saba Rabbi diyaŋ gaa.
44Jehoshaphat made peace with the king of Israel.
44 Kulu nda yaadin, i mana tudey boŋ sududuyaŋ nangey kaa. Hala hõ borey goono ga sargayyaŋ salle ka dugu ton tudey boŋ sududuyaŋ nangey ra.
45Now the rest of the acts of Jehoshaphat, and his might that he showed, and how he warred, aren’t they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
45 Yehosafat na sabayaŋ daŋ nga nda Israyla bonkoono game ra.
46The remnant of the sodomites, that remained in the days of his father Asa, he put away out of the land.
46 Yehosafat goy cindey binde, d'a hino kaŋ a cabe, da wongu-wongey kaŋ yaŋ a te, manti n'i hantum Yahuda bonkooney baaru tira ra bo?
47There was no king in Edom: a deputy was king.
47 Arkuuru cindo mo kaŋ yaŋ cindi za a baabo Asa waate, a n'i hibandi ka kaa laabo ra.
48Jehoshaphat made ships of Tarshish to go to Ophir for gold: but they didn’t go; for the ships were broken at Ezion Geber.
48 Edom laabo ra mo bonkooni si no. Yarima no goono ga may.
49Then Ahaziah the son of Ahab said to Jehoshaphat, “Let my servants go with your servants in the ships.” But Jehoshaphat would not.
49 Yehosafat na Tarsis hiyaŋ te zama i ma koy Ofir wura kuyaŋ se, amma i mana koy, zama i bagu Eziyon-Geber tanjay.
50Jehoshaphat slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David his father; Jehoram his son reigned in his place.
50 Alwaato din Ahaziya, Ahab izo ne Yehosafat se: «Naŋ ay tamey ma koy ni tamey banda hiyey ra.» Amma Yehosafat mana yadda.
51Ahaziah the son of Ahab began to reign over Israel in Samaria in the seventeenth year of Jehoshaphat king of Judah, and he reigned two years over Israel.
51 Yehosafat binde kani nga kaayey banda. I n'a fiji mo nga kaayey banda a kaayo Dawda birno ra. A ize Yehoram te bonkooni a nango ra.
52He did that which was evil in the sight of Yahweh, 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, in which he made Israel to sin.
52 Ahab ize Ahaziya sintin ka Israyla may Samariya ra, Yahuda bonkoono Yehosafat mayra jiiri way cindi iyyanta ra. A may Israyla boŋ mo jiiri hinka.
53He served Baal, and worshiped him, and provoked to anger Yahweh, the God of Israel, according to all that his father had done.
53 A na goy laalo te Rabbi diyaŋ gaa, ka nga baabo da nga nyaŋo fonda gana. A na Yerobowam Nebat izo fonda mo gana, nga kaŋ na Israyla daŋ i ma zunubi te.
54 A may Baal se ka sududu a se mo, ka Rabbi Israyla Irikoyo zuku a bine ma tun, hay kulu kaŋ a baabo te boŋ.
