¹ Tamity tao fahavalo ambifolo najaka i Josafata mpanjaka i Joda, ro nanomboke nanjaka teo amy Israely tao Samaria i Jorama anadahign'i Ahaba; nanjaka zisike ty roe ambifolo tao re. ² Nanao ty raty teo amaso Yaveh re, fa tsy manahake ty raene vaho ty renene; fa nafahane ty tsangam-bato masy agne Bala ze namboare ty raene. ³ Na zay aza le nita reo hadisoa i Jeroboama anadahign'i Nebata re, ze nampanota Israely, tsy nivio tamizay re. ⁴ Naho i Mesa mpanjaka i Moaba le nihare agnondry. Tsy maintsy nagnomea anak'agnondry 100.000 vaho volon'agnondry lahy 100.000 ho ahy ty mpanjaka Israely re. ⁵ Fa tafara ty nahafate i Ahaba, le navande nandietse ty mpanjaka Israely ty mpanjaka i Moaba. ⁶ Naho niala i Samaria ty Jorama mpanjaka tamize andro zay mba hitao ty Israely iaby ho amity aly. ⁷ Nandefa hafatre tamy Josafata mpanjaka i Joda re, nanao ty hoe:" Le fa navande handietse ahy ty mpanjaka i Moaba. Hindeha hiarake amiko hifanao amy Moaba vao riha?" Namle ty Josafata hoe:" Hindeha raho, manahake anao avao raho, ty ndatiko le manahake ty ndatinao, reo soavaleko le manahake reo soavalenao." ⁸ Naho nirehake re bakeo hoe:" Amity lala aia ro tokone hanafihantika?" Namale i Josafata hoe:" Amity lala mamaky ty efetre Edoma." ⁹ Ka nindeha nihodidy zisike ty fito andro reo mpanjaka Israely, Joda, naho Edoma. Tsy nahisaha rano ho ahy ty tafike iereo, na ho ahy reo soavalene vaho reo biby hafa. ¹⁰ Ka nirehake ty mpanjaka Israely ty hoe:" Fa ino toy? Feie vao nikaike mpanjaka telo hatolotre ho eo antagna i Moaba ty Yaveh?" ¹¹ Kanefa nirehake ty Josafata ty hoe:" Tsy misy mpaminane Yaveh vao eto, mba hangalantika torohevetre amy Yaveh amity alalane?" Naho namale ty raike tamity mpanompo ty mpanjaka i Israely nanao ty hoe:" Eto ty Elisa anadahign'i Safata, ze nandrarake rano teo an-tanagna Elia." ¹² Hoe ty Josafata:" Momba aze ty safa Yaveh." Ka nizotro nimbaeo amine, ty Josafata, mpanjaka Israely, naho ty mpanjaka i Edoma. ¹³ Hoe Elisa tamity mpanjaka Israely:" Mpino moa raho vaho riha? Mindehana mbaeo amireo mpaminany ty raenao vaho renenao." Ka nirehake tamine ty mpanjaka Isarely hoe:" Aha, satria Yaveh nikaike toa mpanjaka telo toa niarake mba hanolotre aze ho eo antagna Moaba." ¹⁴ Namale ty Elisa:" Laha mboe valo kea Yaveh tompo ty maro, ze eo agnoloane ro hitsanganako, laha tsy naho ty fagnajako ty fiatreha Josafata mpanjaka Joda, le tsy nidranjy anao raho, na nanente anao kea. ¹⁵ Fa amizao andaiso mpitendre zaka-magneno raho." Naho laha fa nitendre ty mpitendre lokanga, le niavy teo amy Elisa ty tagna Yaveh. ¹⁶ Nirehake re ty hoe:" Ezao ro natalily Yaveh, Asio lavake kele eo ambaibon-driake maike eo.' ¹⁷ Fa hoe ty Yaveh:' Tsy hahisake tioke riha, na ora, fa ho dobo-drano io baibon-driake eo, naho hino nareo, nareo vaho ty biby harenareo vaho ty bibinareo iaby.' ¹⁸ Zay le zaka mora eo amaso Yaveh. Hagnomea anareo faharesea eo amireo Moabita avao kea re. ¹⁹ Hanafike ty tana voaaro mafe vaho tana soa iaby nareo, hanampake ty hetae soa iaby, hanaka ty loharano iaby, naho handrava reo tane soa iaby amity vato." ²⁰ Ka tamity maray nagnodidy ty andro fagnomea ty soro, le nisy rano nily bakagne Edoma; dobo-drano ty tane. ²¹ Naho laha naharey reo Moabita iaby fa avy hialy amine reo mpanjaka, le nivory raike iereo, reo iaby afake nanao akanjo fiaro, ka nitsanga teo amity sisin-tane iereo. ²² Nifoha maray iereo naho ty masoandro nitaratre teo amity rano. Laha nahisake ty rano teo andafe reo Moabita, le niloko mena manahake ty lio zay. ²³ Nikorake mafe iereo ty hoe:" Lio io! Tena rava vatane reo mpanjaka, naho nifamono iereo! Amizao naho, ry Moaba, ndao tika handrava iereo!" ²⁴ Laha nimbaeo amity tobe Israely iereo, nanampoke reo Israelita iereo ka nanafike reo Moabita, ze nilay teo agnoloane. Tinary ty tafike Israely nagnera ty tane reo Moabita, le nivonoene iereo. ²⁵ Nipotehene reo tana, naho ty habein-tane soa iaby le nasia ty lahilahy vato iaby zisike feno. Nitampena iereo ty loharano iaby, tinampa iereo ty hetae soa iaby. Naho Kira-haresa sisa ro tavela tsy nihetreke ty vatone. Fa nihodidigne reo miaramila mpita pilatse zay naho tinafine. ²⁶ Laha nihisa i Mesa mpanjaka Moaba fa rese agnaly re, le nangalake mpita-meso fitonjato niarake tamine re hanafike ty mpanjaka i Edoma, kanefa tsy nisoa iereo. ²⁷ Le nalaene ty anane lahy voalohane ze tokone nanjaka nisolo aze, naho natolone ho fagnatetre oroa teo ambone ty manda re. Ka nisy heloke bey nahazo i Israely, le niala i Mesa mpanjaka ty tafike ty Israelita ka noly tagne amity tanene.
