1Now Jehoshaphat had riches and honor in abundance; and he joined affinity with Ahab.
1 Yehosafat binde gonda arzaka nda darza boobo. A na amaana te da Ahab hiijay do.
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.
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.
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.”
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.»
4Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel, “Please inquire first for the word of Yahweh.”
4 Yehosafat ye ka ne Israyla bonkoono se: «Ay ga ni ŋwaaray, hunkuna iri ma fondo hã Rabbi gaa.»
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.”
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, “Isn’t there here a prophet of Yahweh besides, that we may inquire of him?”
6 Amma Yehosafat ye ka ne: «Borey wo banda, Rabbi annabi fo si no neewo, kaŋ gaa iri ga hã, wala?»
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.”
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 an officer, and said, “Get Micaiah the son of Imla quickly.”
8 Waato din gaa no Israyla bonkoono na mantaw fo ce ka ne a ma koy ka kande Mikaya Imla izo da waasi.
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.
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.
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.’”
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.»
11All the prophets prophesied so, saying, “Go up to Ramoth Gilead, and prosper; for Yahweh will deliver it into the hand of the king.”
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.»
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.”
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.»
13Micaiah said, “As Yahweh lives, what my God says, that will I speak.”
13 Mikaya ne: «Ay ze da Rabbi fundikoono, haŋ kaŋ ay Irikoyo ci, nga no ay mo ga ci.»
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.”
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.»
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?”
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?»
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.’”
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.› »
17The king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, “Didn’t I tell you that he would not prophesy 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?»
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.
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.
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.
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.
20A spirit came out, stood before Yahweh, and said, ‘I will entice him.’ “Yahweh said to him, ‘How?’
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?›
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.’
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.›
22“Now therefore, behold, Yahweh has put a lying spirit in the mouth of these your prophets; and Yahweh has spoken evil concerning you.”
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 came near, and struck Micaiah on the cheek, and said, “Which way did the Spirit of Yahweh go from me to speak to you?”
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?»
24Micaiah said, “Behold, you shall see on that day, when you shall go into an inner room to hide yourself.”
24 Mikaya ne: «A go, han din hane ni ga di, waati kaŋ ni ga furo fu tongo-tongo ra ni ma tugu se.»
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;
25 Israyla bonkoono ne: «Wa Mikaya sambu ka ye nd'a Amon kaŋ ga birno batu do, da bonkoono izo Yowasa.
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.”’”
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.› »
27Micaiah said, “If you return at all in peace, Yahweh has not spoken by me.” He said, “Listen, you 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.»
28So 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.
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.
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.
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.”
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.»
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.
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.
32It happened, when the captains of the chariots saw that it was not the king of Israel, that 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.
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.”
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.»
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.
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.
