2 Ruodhi 8

1 Koro Elisha nowachone dhako mane ochiero wuode niya, “Wuogi idhi mabor gi joodi kuma inyalo dake bangʼ ndalo moko, nimar Jehova Nyasaye osekelo kech ma biro tieko higni abiriyo.”

Now, Elisha, had spoken unto the woman whose son he had restored to life, saying—Arise, and take thy journey, thou and thy household, and sojourn wheresoever thou canst sojourn, for Yahweh hath called for a famine, moreover also, it is coming upon the land seven years.

2 Dhakono nodhi motimo kaka ngʼat Nyasaye nowacho, en kod joode ne giwuok ma gidhi mabor e piny jo-Filistia ma gidakie higni abiriyo.

So the woman arose, and did according to the word of the man of God, —and took her journey, she and her household, and she sojourned in the land of the Philistines, seven years.

3 Ka higni abiriyo norumo noduogo koa e piny jo-Filistia modhi kwayo ruoth mondo odwokne ode kod lope.

And it came to pass, at the end of seven years, that the woman returned out of the land of the Philistines, —and she went forth to make outcry unto the king, concerning her house and concerning her field.

4 Ruoth ne wuoyo gi Gehazi jatich ngʼat Nyasaye, kowachone niya, “Nyisa e honni madongo ma Elisha osetimo.”

Now, the king, was speaking unto Gehazi, servant of the man of God, saying, Do recount unto me, I pray thee, all the great things that Elisha hath done.

5 Kane oyudo Gehazi nyiso ruoth kaka ne Elisha ochiero ngʼato motho, to dhako mane Elisha ochiero wuode cha nochopo kanyo mondo okwa ruoth odwokne ode kod lope. Eka Gehazi nowachone ruoth niya, “Ruodha, ma e dhakono, kendo ma e wuode mane Elisha odwogone ngimane.”

And so it was, just as he was recounting to the king how he had restored the dead to life, lo! the woman whose son he had restored to life, began making outcry unto the king, for her house and for her field. Then said Gehazi, My lord, O king! this, is the woman, and, this, her son, whom, Elisha, restored to life.

6 Eka ruoth nopenjo dhakono kuom wach nyathineno kendo nowachone ni en kamano. Eka ruoth nogolo chik ne jatelo kuom dhakono kowacho niya, “Dwokne dhakono gige duto, kaachiel gi ohala duto mosewuok e puotheno chakre chiengʼ mane oa e pinyni nyaka chiengʼ mane oduogoe.”

So the king asked the woman, and she recounted it to him, —the king, therefore, appointed her a certain officer, saying—Restore all that was hers, and all the increase of the field, from the day she left the land, even until now.

7 Chiengʼ moro Elisha nodhi Damaski moyudo ka Ben-Hadad ruodh Aram tuo. Kane onyis ruoth ni ngʼat Nyasaye osebiro mochopo ka,

And Elisha came into Damascus, when Ben-hadad king of Syria, was sick, —and it was told him, saying, The man of God hath come as far as this place.

8 nowachone Hazael niya, “Kaw mich mondo idhi iromnego ngʼat Nyasaye. Kone openj Jehova Nyasaye ni, ‘Bende abiro chango kuom tuoni?’”

So the king said unto Hazael—Take in thy hand a present, and go to meet the man of God, —so shalt thou enquire of Yahweh, from him, saying, Shall I recover from this sickness?

9 Hazael nodhi romo kod Elisha kotingʼo mich mar mwandu motingʼ gi ngamia piero angʼwen ma gin gik mabeyo mag piny Damaski. Nodhi ir Elisha mochungʼ e nyime mowachone niya, “Wuodi ma Ben-Hadad ruodh Aram oora mondo apenji ka bende obiro chango kuom tuoni.”

So Hazael went to meet him, and took a present in his hand, even every good thing of Damascus, forty camels’ burden, —and came, and stood before him, and said—Thy son, Ben-hadad king of Syria, hath sent me unto thee, saying, Shall I recover from this sickness?

10 Elisha nodwoke niya, “Dhi iwachne ni, ‘Kuom adier obiro chango.’ To kata kamano Jehova Nyasaye osenyisa ni obiro tho bangʼe.”

And Elisha said unto him, Go, say to him, Thou shalt, recover; And yet Yahweh hath shown me, that he will, die.

11 Elisha nochomo wangʼe tir kuom Hazael, mi Hazael wiye nokuot. Bangʼe ngʼat Nyasaye nochako ywak.

And he settled his countenance, and fixed it until he turned pale, —and the man of God, wept.

12 Hazael nopenjo Elisha niya, “Ruodha, iywago angʼo?” To nodwoke niya, “Aywak nikech angʼeyo masira ma ibiro kelone jo-Israel. Ibiro wangʼo kuondegi mochiel motegno, ibiro nego yawuotgi matindo gi ligangla, ibiro nyono nyithindgi matindo kendo ibiro baro iye mon ma yach.”

Then said Hazael, Why, is my lord, weeping? And he said—Because I know what thou wilt do to the sons of Israel, by way of harm—Their fortresses, thou wilt set on fire, and, their choice young men, with the sword, thou wilt slay, and, their children, thou wilt dash in pieces, and, their women with child, thou wilt rip up.

13 Hazael nopenjo niya, “Ere kaka jatichni marom gi guok aguoka nyalo timo gik ma kama?” Elisha nodwoko niya, “Jehova Nyasaye osenyisa ni ibiro bedo ruodh jo-Aram.”

And Hazael said, But what is thy servant—the dog—that he should do this great thing? And Elisha said, Yahweh hath shown thee unto me, as king over Syria.

14 Eka Hazael noa ir Elisha modok ir ruodhe. To kane Ben-Hadad openje niya, “Angʼo mane Elisha owachoni.” Hazael nodwoke niya, “Nowachona ni kuom adier ibiro chango.”

So he departed from Elisha, and came in unto his lord, who said to him, What said, Elisha, unto thee? And he said. He told me thou wouldst, recover.

15 To kinyne nokawo nanga mapek mobudo e pi, mi oumo wangʼ ruoth mothungʼe nyaka otho. Eka Hazael nobedo ruoth kare.

But it came to pass on the morrow, that he took the coverlet, and dipped it in water, and spread it over his face, that he died, —and, Hazael, reigned, in his stead.

16 E higa mar abich mar Joram wuod Ahab ruodh Israel, kane Jehoshafat ne ruodh Juda, Jehoram wuod Jehoshafat nochako tich kaka ruodh Juda.

Now, in the fifth year of Joram son of Ahab, king of Israel, Jehoshaphat, having been king of Judah, Jehoram, son of Jehoshaphat king of Judah, began to reign.

17 Ne en ja-higni piero adek gariyo kane obedo ruodh Juda, kendo norito Jerusalem kuom higni aboro.

Thirty-two years old, was he when he began to reign, and, eight years, reigned, he in Jerusalem.

18 Noluwo timbe mag ruodhi Israel, mana kaka jood Ahab notimo, nimar nokendo nyar Ahab. Notimo timbe mamono e nyim Jehova Nyasaye.

And he walked in the way of the kings of Israel, just as did the house of Ahab, for, a daughter of Ahab, became his wife, —and he did the thing that was wicked in the eyes of Yahweh.

19 Kata kamano, Jehova Nyasaye ne ok otieko jo-Juda nikech noparo Daudi jatichne. Nosesingore ne Daudi gi ogandane ni ginibed e loch nyaka chiengʼ.

Yet was not Yahweh willing to destroy Judah, for the sake of David his servant, —even as he promised him to give him a lamp for his sons all the days.

20 E ndalo loch Jehoram, Edom nongʼanyo ne Juda mi gibedo gi ruodhgi giwegi.

In his days, did Edom revolt from under the hand of Judah, —and they set over them a king.

21 Omiyo Jehoram nodhi Zair gi gechene duto mag lweny. Jo-Edom nolwore kaachiel gi gechene mag lweny, to nochiewo gotieno momwomogi; ka jolweny mage to noringo modok dala.

So Joram passed over to Zair, and all the chariots with him, —and it came to pass that, he, arising by night, smote the Edomites that were round about unto him, and the captains of the chariots, and the people fled to their homes,

22 Nyaka chil kawuono jo-Edom pod ongʼanyo ne jo-Juda. Jo-Libna bende nongʼanyo e ndalono.

Yet did Edom revolt from under the hand of Judah, unto this day, —then, revolted Libnah, at the same time.

23 To kuom weche moko mane otimore e ndalo loch Jehoram, kod gik moko duto mane otimo, ondiki e kitepe motingʼo weche mag ndalo mag ruodhi Juda.

Now, the rest of the story of Joram, and all that he did, are, they, not written in the book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah?

24 Jehoram notho moyweyo gi kwerene e Dala Maduongʼ mar Daudi, kendo wuode ma Ahazia nobedo ruoth bangʼe.

And Joram slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers, in the city of David, —and, Ahaziah his son, reigned, in his stead.

25 E higa mar apar gariyo mar loch Joram wuod Ahab ma ruodh Israel, Ahazia wuod Jehoram ruodh Juda nobedo e loch.

In the twelfth year of Joram son of Ahab king of Israel, did Ahaziah son of Jehoram king of Judah, begin to reign.

26 Ahazia ne ja-higni piero ariyo gariyo kane obedo ruoth, kendo norito piny kuom achiel kodak Jerusalem. Min mare ne nyinge Athalia, ma nyakwar Omri ruodh Israel.

Two and twenty years old, was Ahaziah when he began to reign, —and, one year, reigned he in Jerusalem, —and, his mother’s name, was Athaliah, daughter of Omri, king of Israel;

27 Noluwo timbe mag od Ahab kendo notimo timbe mamono e nyim Jehova Nyasaye mana kaka od Ahab nosetimo, nimar ne gin wede e kendgi gi jood Ahab.

And he walked in the way of the house of Ahab, and did the thing that was wicked in the eyes of Yahweh, like the house of Ahab, —for, son-in-law of the house of Ahab, was, he.

28 Ahazia gi Joram wuod Ahab nodhi kedo gi Hazael ruodh Aram e piny Ramoth Gilead. Jo-Aram nohinyo Joram;

And he went with Joram son of Ahab, to make war against Hazael king of Syria, in Ramoth-gilead, —and the Syrians wounded Joram.

29 omiyo ruoth Joram nodok Jezreel mondo ochangi kuom hinyruok mane jo-Aram ohinyego e piny Ramoth ka nokedo gi Hazael ruodh Aram. Eka Ahazia wuod Jehoram ruodh Juda nodhi Jezreel mondo one Joram wuod Ahab nikech nosehinye.

So Joram the king returned to get healed in Jezreel, from the wounds wherewith the Syrians had wounded him in Ramah, when he fought with Hazael king of Syria, —and, Ahaziah son of Jehoram king of Judah, went down to see Joram son of Ahab in Jezreel, because he, was sick.
