< 2 Ruodhi 1 >

1 Bangʼ tho Ahab, jo-Moab nongʼanyo ne Israel.
Moab rebelled against Israel after the death of Ahab.
2 E kindeno Ahazia nosegore piny koa ewi ode mar gorofa man Samaria mi ohinyore, ne ooro joote kowacho niya, “Dhiyo mondo ipenj Baal-Zebub ma nyasach Ekron, mondo iwinji ane ni bende abiro chango e hinyruoknani.”
Ahaziah fell down through the lattice in his upper room that was in Samaria, and was sick. So he sent messengers, and said to them, “Go, inquire of Baal Zebub, the god of Ekron, whether I will recover of this sickness.”
3 To malaika mar Jehova Nyasaye nowachone Elija ja-Tishbi niya, “Dhiyo mondo irom gi joote mag ruodh Samaria mondo ipenjgi ni, ‘Nyasaye onge e Israel ka koso mamiyo upenjo Baal-Zebub ma nyasach jo-Ekron wach?’
But Yahweh’s angel said to Elijah the Tishbite, “Arise, go up to meet the messengers of the king of Samaria, and tell them, ‘Is it because there is no God in Israel that you go to inquire of Baal Zebub, the god of Ekron?
4 Kuom mano Jehova Nyasaye wacho ni, ‘Ok inichungi e kitanda mar midekre minindeni nyaka itho!’” Bangʼ mano Elija nodhi.
Now therefore Yahweh says, “You will not come down from the bed where you have gone up, but you will surely die.”’” Then Elijah departed.
5 Kane joote odwogo ir ruoth nopenjogi niya, “Angʼo momiyo udwogo?”
The messengers returned to him, and he said to them, “Why is it that you have returned?”
6 Negidwoke niya, “Ngʼat moro noromo kodwa mowachonwa ni, ‘Doguru ir ruoth mane oorou mondo unyise ni Jehova Nyasaye owacho kama: “Nyasaye onge e Israel ka koso mamiyo upenjo Baal-Zebub ma nyasach jo-Ekron wach? Kuom mano ok inichungi e kitanda minindeni nyaka itho.”’”
They said to him, “A man came up to meet us, and said to us, ‘Go, return to the king who sent you, and tell him, “Yahweh says, ‘Is it because there is no God in Israel that you send to inquire of Baal Zebub, the god of Ekron? Therefore you will not come down from the bed where you have gone up, but you will surely die.’”’”
7 Ruoth nopenjogi niya, “En ngʼat machal nade mane obiro moromo kodu kendo onyisou wechegi?”
He said to them, “What kind of man was he who came up to meet you and told you these words?”
8 Negidwoke niya, “Norwako law ma rayier, kendo notweyo okanda mar pien e nungone.” Eka ruoth nowacho niya, “Mano ne en Elija ja-Tishbi.”
They answered him, “He was a hairy man, and wearing a leather belt around his waist.” He said, “It’s Elijah the Tishbite.”
9 Eka ne ooro jatend jolweny kaachiel gi jolweny piero abich ir Elija. Jatelono nodhi ir Elija moyude kobet piny ewi got kendo nowachone niya, “Ngʼat Nyasaye, ruoth owacho ni mondo ilor piny!”
Then the king sent a captain of fifty with his fifty to him. He went up to him; and behold, he was sitting on the top of the hill. He said to him, “Man of God, the king has said, ‘Come down!’”
10 Elija nodwoko jalwenyno niya, “Ka an ngʼat Nyasaye, to mach mondo oa e polo kendo otieki kaachiel gi jolweny magi piero abich.” Eka mach noa e polo mowangʼo jatend jolweny kod joge duto.
Elijah answered to the captain of fifty, “If I am a man of God, then let fire come down from the sky and consume you and your fifty!” Then fire came down from the sky, and consumed him and his fifty.
11 Eka ruoth nooro jatend jolweny machielo gi jolweny piero abich ir Elija. Jatelono nowachone Elija niya, ngʼat Nyasaye, ruoth wacho ni yie mondo ilor piyo.
Again he sent to him another captain of fifty with his fifty. He answered him, “Man of God, the king has said, ‘Come down quickly!’”
12 Elija nodwoke niya, ka an ngʼat Nyasaye, to mach mondo oa e polo kendo otieki kaachiel gi jolweny magi piero abich! Eka mach noa e polo mowangʼo jatend jolwenyno kod joge piero abich duto.
Elijah answered them, “If I am a man of God, then let fire come down from the sky and consume you and your fifty!” Then God’s fire came down from the sky, and consumed him and his fifty.
13 Kendo ruoth nooro jatend jolweny mar adek kaachiel gi jolweny mage piero abich. Ngʼat mar adekno nodhi mogoyo chonge piny e nyim Elija kokwaye niya, “Ngʼat Nyasaye, yie ibedie gi ngʼwono ne ngimana to gi ngima mar ji piero abich ma an-gogi, an jatichni!
Again he sent the captain of a third fifty with his fifty. The third captain of fifty went up, and came and fell on his knees before Elijah, and begged him, and said to him, “Man of God, please let my life and the life of these fifty of your servants be precious in your sight.
14 Neye kaka mach osewuok e polo motieko jotend jolweny ariyo motelona kod ji mane gin-go duto. To koro sani yie ibedie gi ngʼwono ne ngimana!”
Behold, fire came down from the sky and consumed the last two captains of fifty with their fifties. But now let my life be precious in your sight.”
15 Malaika mar Jehova Nyasaye nowachone Elija niya, “Lor idhi kode, kik iluore.” Omiyo Elija nolor modhi kode ir ruoth.
Yahweh’s angel said to Elijah, “Go down with him. Don’t be afraid of him.” Then he arose and went down with him to the king.
16 Nowachone ruoth niya, “Jehova Nyasaye wacho kama: Nyasaye onge e Israel ka koso mamiyo uoro joote mondo upenj Baal-Zebub ma nyasach Ekron wach? Nikech isetimo ma ok inichungi e kitanda mar midekre minindeno, nyaka itho!”
He said to him, “Yahweh says, ‘Because you have sent messengers to inquire of Baal Zebub, the god of Ekron, is it because there is no God in Israel to inquire of his word? Therefore you will not come down from the bed where you have gone up, but you will surely die.’”
17 Omiyo notho mana kaka wach Jehova Nyasaye mane Elija owacho. Nikech Ahazia ne onge wuowi, Joram nobedo ruoth kare e higa mar ariyo mar loch Jehoram wuod Jehoshafat ruodh Juda.
So he died according to Yahweh’s word which Elijah had spoken. Jehoram began to reign in his place in the second year of Jehoram the son of Jehoshaphat king of Judah, because he had no son.
18 To weche moko mag loch Ahazia kod gik mane otimo, donge ondikgi e kitepe mochanie nonro mag ruodhi Israel?
Now the rest of the acts of Ahaziah which he did, aren’t they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
