2 Cronicas 18

1 Ita, bimmaknang ken mararaem iti kasta unay ni Jehosafat; nakigayyem isuna kenni Ahab babaen iti panangipaasawana iti maysa kadagiti pamiliana iti putot a babai ni Ahab.

Now Josaphat was rich and very glorious, and was joined by affinity to Achab.

2 Kalpasan iti sumagmamano a tawen, simmalog isuna iti ayan ni Ahab idiay Samaria. Nangparti ni Ahab iti adu a karnero ken baka para kenkuana ken kadagiti tattao a kaduana. Inallukoy met isuna ni Ahab a makikadua kenkuana a mangraut iti Ramot Galaad.

And he went down to him after some years to Samaria: and Achab at his coming killed sheep and oxen in abundance for him and the people that came with him: and he persuaded him to go up to Ramoth Galaad.

3 Kinuna ni Ahab nga ari ti Israel kenni Jehosafat nga ari ti Juda, “Sumurotka kadi kaniak idiay Ramot Galaad?” Insungbat ni Jehosafat iti ari ti Israel, “Kaslaak kenka, ken dagiti tattaok ket kasla kadagiti tattaom; kaduaandakayonto a makigubat.”

And Achab king of Israel said to Josaphat king of Juda: Come with me to Ramoth Galaad. And he answered him: Thou art as I am, and my people as thy people, and we will be with thee in the war.

4 Kinuna ni Jehosafat iti ari ti Israel, “Pangaasim ta ammoem pay nga umuna ti ibaga ni Yahweh para iti sungbatmo.”

And Josaphat said to the king of Israel: Inquire, I beseech thee, at present the word of the Lord.

5 Ket inummong ti ari ti Israel dagiti profetana, 400 a lallaki, ket kinunana kadakuada, “Mapanmi kadi rauten ti Ramot Galaad wenno saan? Kinunada, “Rautenyo, ta pagballigiento ti Dios ti ari.”

So the king of Israel gathered together of the prophets four hundred men, and he said to them: Shall we go to Ramoth Galaad to fight, or shall we forbear? But they said: Go up, and God will deliver it into the king’s hand.

6 Ngem kinuna ni Jehosafat, “Awan kadin ditoy ti sabali pay a profeta ni Yahweh a mabalintayo a pagkiddawan iti balakad?”

And Josaphat said: Is there not here a prophet of the Lord, that we may inquire also of him?

7 Kinuna ti ari ti Israel kenni Jehosafat, “Adda pay maysa a tao a mabalintayo a pagdawatan iti balakad manipud kenni Yahweh, ni Micaias a putot ni Imla, ngem kagurgurak isuna ta saan a pulos a mangipadto iti aniaman a nasayaat a banag maipanggep kaniak, ngem ketdi pasig a kinarigat laeng.” Ngem kinuna ni Jehosafat, “Saan koma nga ibaga ti ari dayta.”

And the king of Israel said to Josaphat: There is one man, of whom we may ask the will of the Lord: but I hate him, for he never prophesieth good to me, but always evil: and it is Micheas the son of Jemla. And Josaphat said: Speak not thus, O king.

8 Ket nangayab ti ari ti Israel iti opisial ket binilinna, “Iyegyo itan ni Micaias a putot ni Imla.”

And the king of Israel called one of the eunuchs, and said to him: Call quickly Micheas the son of Jemla.

9 Ita, nakatugaw ni Ahab nga ari ti Israel ken ni Jehosafat nga ari ti Juda kadagiti tronoda, nakakawesda kadagiti pagan-anayda a kas ari, iti nawaya a lugar iti pagserkan ti ruangan ti Samaria, ket agipadpadto dagiti amin a profeta, iti sangoananda.

Now the king of Israel, and Josaphat king of Juda, both sat on their thrones, clothed in royal robes, and they sat in the open court by the gate of Samaria, and all the prophets prophesied before them.

10 Nangaramid ni Zedekias a putot ni Kenaana iti sinan-sara a landok ket kinunana, “Kastoy ti imbaga ni Yahweh: 'Babaen kadagitoy maparmekyonto dagiti taga-Aram agingga a maibusda.”

And Sedecias the son of Chanaana made him horns of iron, and said: Thus saith the Lord: With these shalt thou push Syria, till thou destroy it.

11 Ket kasta met laeng ti impadto dagiti amin a profeta, a kunada, “Rautenyo ti Ramot Galaad ket agballigikayo, ta inyawat daytoy ni Yahweh iti ima ti ari.”

And all the prophets prophesied in like manner, and said: Go up to Ramoth Galaad, and thou shalt prosper, and the Lord will deliver them into the king’s hand.

12 Nakisao kenni Micaias ti mensahero a napan nangayab kenkuana, a kunana, “Ita dumngegka, pasig a nasayaat a banbanag dagiti sasao nga imbaga dagiti profeta ti ari. Pangngaasim ta ibagam koma ti kas iti imbaga ti maysa kadakuada ket nasayaat a banbanag ti ibagam.”

And the messenger that went to call Micheas, said to him: Behold the words of all the prophets with one mouth declare good to the king: I beseech thee therefore let not thy word disagree with them, and speak thou also good success.

13 Insungbat ni Micaias, “Iti nagan ni Yahweh nga adda iti agnanayon, no ania ti ibaga ni Yahweh kaniak ti sawek.”

And Micheas answered him: As the Lord liveth, whatsoever my God shall say to me, that will I speak.

14 Idi napan isuna iti ayan ti ari, kinuna ti ari kenkuana, “Micaias, mapanmi kadi rauten ti Ramot Galaad, wenno saan?” Insungbat ni Micaias, “Rautem ket agballigika! Ta dakkelto daytoy a balligi.”

So he came to the king: and the king said to him: Micheas, shall we go to Ramoth Galaad to fight, or forbear? And he answered him: Go up, for all shall succeed prosperously, and the enemies shall be delivered into your hands.

15 Ket kinuna ti ari kenkuana, “Namin-ano a daras nga imbagak kenka nga isapatam a ti laeng kinapudno ti ibagam kaniak iti nagan ni Yahweh?”

And the king said: I adjure thee again and again to say nothing but the truth to me, in the name of the Lord.

16 Isu a kinuna ni Micaias, “Nakitak ti entero nga Israel a nawarawara kadagiti banbantay, kasda la karnero nga awan mangipaspastor, ket kinuna ni Yahweh, 'Awan mangipaspastor kadagitoy. Agsubli koma ti tunggal maysa iti balayna nga addaan kappia.”’

Then he said: I saw all Israel scattered in the mountains, like sheep without a shepherd: and the Lord said: These have no masters: let every man return to his own house in peace.

17 Isu a kinuna ti ari ti Israel kenni Jehosafat, “Saan kadi nga imbagak kenka a saan isuna nga agipadto iti nasayaat maipanggep kaniak, ngem pasig a didigra laeng?”

And the king of Israel said to Josaphat: Did I not tell thee that this man would not prophesy me any good, but evil?

18 Ket kinuna ni Micaias, “Masapul ngarud a denggenyo amin ti sao ni Yahweh: Nakitak ni Yahweh a nakatugaw iti tronona, ken amin dagiti buybuyot ti langit ket agtaktakder iti makannawanna ken iti makannigidna.

Then he said: Hear ye therefore the word of the Lord: I saw the Lord sitting on his throne, and all the army of heaven standing by him on the right hand and on the left.

19 Kinuna ni Yahweh, 'Siasino ti mangallilaw kenni Ahab, nga ari ti Israel tapno sumang-at idiay Ramot Galaad ket maparmek sadiay?' Ket nagduduma ti insungbat ti tunggal maysa.

And the Lord said: Who shall deceive Achab king of Israel, that he may go up and fall in Ramoth Galaad? And when one spoke in this manner, and another otherwise:

20 Ket adda maysa nga espiritu a nagpasango, nagtakder iti sangoanan ni Yahweh, ket kinunana, 'Siak ti mangallilaw kenkuana.' Kinuna ni Yahweh kenkuana, 'Kasano?'

There came forth a spirit, and stood before the Lord, and said: I will deceive him. And the Lord said to him: By what means wilt thou deceive him?

21 Insungbat ti espiritu, 'Mapanak ket pag-ulbodek dagiti amin a profetana.' Insungbat ni Yahweh, 'Allilawem isuna, ket agballigikanto. Mapanka ket aramiden ti imbagam.'

And he answered: I will go out, and be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets. And the Lord said: Thou shalt deceive, and shalt prevail: go out, and do so.

22 'Ita kitaem, pagul-ulboden ni Yahweh dagiti amin a profetam, ket inkeddeng ni Yahweh ti pannakadidigram.”

Now therefore behold the Lord hath put a spirit of lying in the mouth of all thy prophets, and the Lord hath spoken evil against thee.

23 Kalpasanna, immasideg ni Zedekaias a putot ni Kenaana, tinungpana ni Micaias, ket kinunana, “Kasano koma a rimmuar kaniak ti Espiritu ni Yahweh tapno makitungtong kenka?”

And Sedecias the son of Chanaana came, and struck Micheas on the cheek and said: Which way went the spirit of the Lord from me, to speak to thee?

24 Kinuna ni Micaias, “Kitaem, maammoamto dayta iti aldaw nga agtarayka a mapan aglemmeng iti akin uneg a siled.”

And Micheas said: Thou thyself shalt see in that day, when thou shalt go in from chamber to chamber, to hide thyself.

25 Kinuna ti ari ti Israel kadagiti dadduma nga adipenna, “Dakayo a tattao tiliwenyo ni Micaias ket ipanyo kenni Amon, a gobernador ti siudad, ken ni Joas, nga anakko.

And the king of Israel commanded, saying: Take Micheas, and carry him to Amen the governor of the city, and to Joas the son of Amelech,

26 Ibagayo kenkuana, 'Kuna ti ari, Ibaludyo daytoy a tao ket bassit laeng a tinapay ti ipakanyo ken bassit laeng a danum, agingga a makasangpetak a sikakaradkad.”’

And say: Thus saith the king: Put this fellow in prison, and give him bread and water in a small quantity till I return in peace.

27 Ket kinuna ni Micaias, “No makasublika a sikakaradkad, saan ngarud a nagsao ni Yahweh kaniak.” Ket kinunana pay, “Denggenyo daytoy, dakayo amin a tattao.”

And Micheas said: If thou return in peace, the Lord hath not spoken by me. And he said: Hear, all ye people.

28 Simmang-at ngarud da Ahab nga ari ti Israel, ken ni Jehosafat nga ari ti Juda idiay Ramot Galaad.

So the king of Israel and Josaphat king of Juda went up to Ramoth Galaad.

29 Kinuna ti ari ti Israel kenni Jehosafat, “Manglimlimoak ket mapanak iti paggugubatan, ngem ikawesmo dagiti pagan-anaymo a kas ari.” Nanglimlimo ngarud ti ari ti Israel ket napan iti paggugubatan.

And the king of Israel said to Josaphat: I will change my dress, and so I will go to the battle, but put thou on thy own garments. And the king of Israel having changed his dress, went to the battle.

30 Ita, binilin ti ari ti Aram dagiti kapitan ti karwahena, a kunana, “Saanyo a darupen ti siasinoman kadagiti soldado. Ngem ketdi, ti laeng ari ti Israel ti darupenyo.”

Now the king of Syria had commanded the captains of his cavalry, saying: Fight ye not with small, or great, but with the king of Israel only.

31 Ket napasamak nga idi nakita dagiti kapitan ni Jehosafat kinunada, “Dayta ti ari ti Israel.” Nagbaw-ingda a mangdarup kenkuana, ngem nagriaw ni Jehosafat, ket tinulongan isuna ni Yahweh. Pinagsardeng ida ti Dios iti panangdarupda kenkuana.

So when the captains of the cavalry saw Josaphat, they said: This is the king of Israel. And they surrounded him to attack him: but he cried to the Lord, and he helped him, and turned them away from him.

32 Ket napasamak nga idi nakita dagiti mangidadaulo kadagiti karwahe a saan nga isu ti ari ti Israel, insardengda ti panangkamatda kenkuana.

For when the captains of the cavalry saw, that he was not the king of Israel, they left him.

33 Ngem adda maysa a lalaki a nangibiat iti panana a saanna a kitkitaen ti mapanana ket natamaan ti ari ti Israel iti nagsaipan ti kabalna. Ket kinuna ni Ahab iti mangiturturong iti karwahena, “Agsublita ket ipanawnak ditoy paggugubatan, ta nasugatanak iti nakaro.”

And it happened that one of the people shot an arrow at a venture, and struck the king of Israel between the neck and the shoulders, and he said to his chariot man: Turn thy hand, and carry me out of the battle, for I am wounded.

34 Kimmarkaro ti gubat iti dayta nga aldaw, ket sisasadag ti ari ti Israel iti karwahena a nakasango kadagiti taga-Aram agingga iti rumabii. Idi dandanin a lumnek ti init, natay isuna.

And the fight was ended that day: but the king of Israel stood in his chariot against the Syrians until the evening, and died at the sunset.
