2 Ruodhi 15
1 E higa mar piero ariyo gabiriyo mar loch Jeroboam ruodh Israel, Azaria wuod Amazia ruodh Juda nobedo e loch.
After Jeroboam had been ruling Israel for almost twenty-seven years, Uzziah, the son of King Amaziah of Judah, began to rule.
2 Ne en ja-higni apar gauchiel kane odoko ruoth, kendo nobedo ruoth kodak Jerusalem kuom higni piero abich gariyo. Min mare ne nyinge Jekolia, ma nyar Jerusalem.
He was 16 years old when he started to rule, and he ruled in Jerusalem for 52 years. His mother was Jecoliah, from Jerusalem.
3 Notimo gima kare e nyim wangʼ Jehova Nyasaye, mana kaka wuon-gi Amazia nosetimo.
He did things that Yahweh was pleased with, like his father Amaziah had done.
4 Kuonde motingʼore gi malo kata kamano ne ok omuki kendo ji nodhi nyime mana gi chiwo misengini kendo wangʼo ubani mangʼwe ngʼar kanyo.
But, the places at the pagan shrines where they worshiped Yahweh were not destroyed, and the people continued to burn incense [to honor Yahweh] at those places [instead of in Jerusalem, the place that Yahweh had appointed].
5 Jehova Nyasaye nogoyo ruoth gi dhoho nyaka chiengʼ thone, kendo nodak e ot kar kende. Jotham wuod ruoth ema ne rito dala ruoth kendo norito piny.
Yahweh caused Uzziah to become a leper, and he was a leper for the rest of his life. [He was not allowed to live in the palace]. He lived alone in a house, and his son Jotham ruled the country.
6 To kuom weche moko mag loch Azaria to gi mane otimo e ndalone donge ondikgi e kitepe mag ruodhi Juda.
[If you want to know about] everything else that Uzziah did, it is written [RHQ] in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Judah’.
7 Azaria notho moyweyo gi kwerene kendo noyike machiegni kodgi e Dala Maduongʼ mar Daudi, kendo Jotham wuode nobedo ruoth kare.
Uzziah died [EUP], and they buried him in [the part of Jerusalem called] ‘The City of David’, where his ancestors had been buried. Then his son Jotham officially became the king.
8 E higa mar piero adek gaboro mar Azaria ruodh Juda, Zekaria wuod Jeroboam nobedo ruodh Israel ei Samaria kendo nobedo ruoth kuom dweche auchiel.
After Uzziah had been ruling Judah for almost thirty-eight years, Zechariah, the son of Jeroboam, became the king of Israel. He ruled in Samaria [city] for [only] six months.
9 Timbene ne richo e nyim Jehova Nyasaye mana kaka kwerene notimo, kendo ne ok oweyo richo mag Jeroboam wuod Nebat mane omiyo jo-Israel otimo.
He did many things that Yahweh considered to be evil, like his ancestors had done. He committed the same kind of sins that Jeroboam had committed, sins which led the Israeli people to sin.
10 Shalum wuod Jabesh nochano mar nego Zekaria. Nomonje e kind ji mi onege kendo nobedo ruoth kare.
Then Shallum, the son of Jabesh, made plans to assassinate Zechariah. He killed him at Ibleam [town], and then he became the king.
11 Weche mamoko mag loch Zekaria ondiki e kitepe weche mag ruodhi Israel.
Everything else that Zechariah did is written in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Israel’.
12 Omiyo wach Jehova Nyasaye mane ohul kowuok kuom Jehu nochopo kare mawacho niya, “Nyikwayi nobedi e loch mar Israel nyaka tiengʼ mar angʼwen.”
When Zechariah died, [that ended the dynasty of King Jehu]. That fulfilled what Yahweh said to King Jehu would happen: “Your son and grandson and great-grandson and great-great-grandson will all be kings of Israel.”
13 Shalum wuod Jabesh nobedo ruoth e higa mar piero adek gochiko mar loch Uzia ruodh Juda, kendo nobedo ruoth Samaria kuom dwe achiel.
Shallum, the son of Jabesh, became the king of Israel after King Uzziah had been ruling Judah for almost thirty-nine years. But Shallum ruled in Samaria for [only] one month.
14 Eka Menahem wuod Gadi nowuok koa Tirza modhi nyaka Samaria. Nomonjo Shalum wuod Jabesh ei Samaria monege kendo nobedo ruoth kare.
Then Menahem, the son of Gadi, went up from Tirzah [city] to Samaria and assassinated Shallum. Then Menahem became the king of Israel.
15 Weche moko duto mag loch Shalum, kendo kaka nojamo Zekaria, ondiki e kitepe mag weche ruodhi Israel.
Everything else that Shallum did, including his killing King Zechariah, is written in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Israel’.
16 E ndalono Menahem nowuok koa Tirza mondo modhi monjo Tifsa gi ji duto mane nitie e dala maduongʼ gi mier mokiewo kode nimar nodagi yawo rangeyene. Noriembo Tifsa mobaro iye mon ma yach duto.
While Menahem was ruling in Samaria, he completely destroyed Tappuah [village south of Samaria] and killed all the people who lived there and in the surrounding territory. He did that because the people in that city refused to surrender to him. [With his sword] he even ripped open the bellies of pregnant women.
17 E higa mar piero adek gochiko mar loch Azaria ruodh Juda, Menahem wuod Gadi nobedo ruoth Israel, kendo nobedo ruoth Samaria kuom higni apar.
When King Azariah had been ruling Judah for almost thirty-nine years, Menahem, the son of Gadi, became the king of Israel. He ruled in Samaria for ten years.
18 Timbene ne richo e nyim Jehova Nyasaye. Ndalo lochne duto ne ok oweyo timbe maricho mar Jeroboam wuod Nebat, mane omiyo jo-Israel otimo.
He did many things that Yahweh considered to be evil. He committed the same kinds of sins that King Jeroboam had committed, sins that led the people of Israel to sin. He continued to commit those sins for the rest of his life.
19 Eka Pul ruodh Asuria nomonjo pinyno, mi Menahem nomiye fedha ma pekne romo kilo alufu mia adek mondo Pul okonyego jiwo lochne obed motegno.
Then King Tiglath-Pileser of Assyria came [with his army] to attack Israel. So Menahem gave him (thirty-eight tons/35,000 kg.) of silver in order that Tiglath-Pileser would help Menahem to continue to be king and rule his country more strongly.
20 Menahem nochuno joma ne nigi mwandu e Israel mondo ogol pesano. Ngʼato ka ngʼato kuomgi nyaka ne chiw pesa ma pekne romo nus kilo mar fedha mondo mi ruodh Asuria. Omiyo ruodh Asuria noa e pinyno modok thurgi.
Menahem obtained that money from the rich men in Israel. He compelled each of them to contribute 50 pieces of silver. So Tiglath-Pileser [took that money and] went back home.
21 To kuom gik mamoko duto mag ndalo loch Menahem, gi gik moko duto mane otimo, donge odikgi e kitepe weche mag ruodhi Israel.
[If you want to know more about] everything that Menahem did, it is written [RHQ] in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Israel’.

He did many things that Yahweh considered to be evil. He committed the same kind of sins that King Jeroboam had committed, sins which led the people of Israel to sin.
25 Achiel kuom jodonge, ma en Peka wuod Remalia nojame mondo otimne marach. Nokawo ji piero abich moa Gilead odhigo monego Pekahia kaachiel gi Argob kod Arie, e kind siro mar kar od ruoth man Samaria. Omiyo Peka nonego Pekahia mobedo ruoth kare.
Then one of Pekahiah’s army commanders whose name was Pekah, the son of Remaliah, planned with 50 men from [the] Gilead [region] to kill Pekahiah. They assassinated him in a fortified place in the king’s palace in Samaria. Then Pekah became the king.
26 Gik mamoko duto mag ndalo loch Pekahia, to gi weche duto mane otimo, ondiki e kitepe weche mag ruodhi Israel.
Everything else that Pekahiah did is written in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Israel’.

While Pekah was the king, Tiglath-Pileser, the king of Assyria, came [with his army] and captured [the cities of] Ijon, Abel-Beth-Maacah, Janoah, Kedesh, Hazor, and the regions of Gilead, Galilee, and Naphtali. His army forced the Israeli people to leave their country and go to live in Assyria.
30 E higa mar piero ariyo mar loch Jotham wuod Uzia; Hoshea wuod Ela nojamo Peka wuod Remalia monege kendo nobedo ruoth kare.
Then Hoshea, the son of Elah, plotted to kill Pekah. He assassinated him when Uzziah’s son Jotham had been ruling Judah for almost 20 years. Then Hoshea became the king of Israel.

But he did not destroy the places on the tops of hills where the people worshiped [Yahweh], and the people continued to burn incense there [to honor Yahweh]. Jotham’s workers built the Upper Gate of the temple.
