2 Kings 13
1 In the twenty-third year of Joash, the son of Ahaziah, king of Judah, Jehoahaz, the son of Jehu, became king over Israel in Samaria, ruling for seventeen years.
Nʼafọ nke iri abụọ na atọ nke ọchịchị eze Joash nwa Ahazaya na Juda, ka Jehoahaz nwa Jehu malitere ịbụ eze nʼIzrel nʼobodo Sameria. Ọ chịkwara na Sameria afọ iri na asaa.
2 He did evil in the eyes of the Lord, copying the sins of Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, which he did and made Israel do; he did not keep himself from them.
Kama Jehoahaz bụ eze ọjọọ. O mere ihe jọrọ njọ nʼanya Onyenwe anyị. O soro ụzọ ọjọọ niile nke Jeroboam nwa Nebat, onye dubara ndị Izrel na mmehie.
3 So the wrath of the Lord was burning against Israel, and he gave them up into the power of Hazael, king of Aram, and into the power of Ben-hadad, the son of Hazael, again and again.
Nʼihi nke a, iwe were Onyenwe anyị nke ukwuu megide Izrel. O mere ka ha nọrọ nʼokpuru ọchịchị Hazael eze Aram na Ben-Hadad nwa ya ogologo oge.
4 Then Jehoahaz made prayer to the Lord, and the Lord gave ear to him, for he saw how cruelly Israel was crushed by the king of Aram.
Ma Jehoahaz kpere ekpere rịọọ Onyenwe anyị nʼoge a ka o nyere ya aka, Onyenwe anyị gere ya ntị, nʼihi na Chineke hụrụ mmegbu nke eze Aram na-emegbu ndị Izrel.
5 (And the Lord gave Israel a saviour, so that they became free from the hands of the Aramaeans; and the children of Israel were living in their tents as in the past.
Onyenwe anyị họpụtaara Izrel onye nzọpụta, ha sitere nʼaka ike ndị Aram nwere onwe ha. Izrel biri nʼụlọ nke aka ha dịka ha biiri nʼoge gara aga.
6 But still they did not give up the sin of Jeroboam, which he made Israel do, but went on with it; and there was an image of Asherah in Samaria.)
Ma ha esighị na mmehie niile nke ụlọ Jeroboam wezuga onwe ha, bụ nke o jiri mee ka Izrel mehie, kama ha nọ na-ejegharị nʼime ha. Ọzọkwa, ogidi Ashera ka guzoro na Sameria.
7 For out of all his army, Jehoahaz had only fifty horsemen and ten carriages and ten thousand footmen; the king of Aram had given them up to destruction, crushing them like dust.
Ọ dịghị ihe fọdụrụ na ndị agha Jehoahaz ma ọ bụghị naanị iri ndị agha ise na-agba ịnyịnya, na ụgbọ agha iri, na puku ndị agha iri. Nʼihi na eze Aram alaala ndị nke fọdụrụ nʼiyi, meekwa ka ha dịrị ka uzuzu mgbe a na-azọcha mkpụrụ.
8 Now the rest of the acts of Jehoahaz, and all he did, and his great power, are they not recorded in the book of the history of the kings of Israel?
Akụkọ gbasara ọchịchị Jehoahaz, na ihe niile o mere, na ihe ọ rụpụtara, e deghị ha nʼakwụkwọ akụkọ ihe ndị eze Izrel mere nʼoge ha?
9 And Jehoahaz went to rest with his fathers, and was put into the earth in Samaria; and Joash his son became king in his place.
Jehoahaz sooro ndị nna nna ya ha dina nʼọnwụ, e lie ya na Sameria. Nwa ya Jehoash nọchiri anya ya.
10 In the thirty-seventh year of the rule of Joash, king of Judah, Joash, the son of Jehoahaz, became king over Israel in Samaria, ruling for sixteen years.
Nʼafọ iri atọ na asaa nke ịbụ eze Joash na Juda, ka Jehoash nwa Jehoahaz malitere ị bụ eze Izrel na Sameria. Ọ chịrị afọ iri na isii.
11 He did evil in the eyes of the Lord, not turning away from the sin of Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, which he did and made Israel do, but he went on with it.
O mere ihe jọrọ njọ nʼanya Onyenwe anyị. O siteghị na mmehie Jeroboam nwa Nebat wezuga onwe ya, mmehie nke Jeroboam dubara Izrel ime. Jehoash nọgidere nʼime ha.
12 Now the rest of the acts of Joash, and all he did, and the force with which he went to war against Amaziah, king of Judah, are they not recorded in the book of the history of the kings of Israel?
Akụkọ gbasara ọchịchị Jehoash, na ihe niile o mere, na ihe ọ rụpụtara, tinyere agha o buru megide Amazaya eze Juda, e deghị ha nʼakwụkwọ akụkọ ihe ndị eze Izrel mere nʼoge ha?
13 And Joash went to rest with his fathers and Jeroboam took his place as king; and Joash was put into the earth in Samaria with the kings of Israel.
Jehoash soro nna nna ya ha dina nʼọnwụ, Jeroboam anọchie nʼocheeze ya. E liri Jehoash na Sameria, nʼebe e liri ndị eze Izrel ndị ibe ya.
14 Now Elisha became ill with the disease which was the cause of his death: and Joash, king of Israel, came down to him, and weeping over him said, My father, my father, the war-carriages of Israel and its horsemen!
Nʼoge a, Ịlaisha nọ nʼọrịa nke ọ ga-esite na ya anwụ. Jehoash, bụ eze Izrel gara ịhụ ya, ọ kwara akwa mgbe ọ hụrụ ya sị, “Nna m, nna m, usuu ụgbọ agha na usuu ndị na-agba ịnyịnya Izrel!”
15 Then Elisha said to him, Take bow and arrows: and he took bow and arrows.
Ịlaisha gwara ya okwu sị, “Wepụta ụta na àkụ ụfọdụ.” O mere dịka Ịlaisha gwara ya.
16 And he said to the king of Israel, Put your hand on the bow: and he put his hand on it; and Elisha put his hands on the king's hands.
Ịlaisha gwakwara eze Izrel okwu sị ya, “Jide ụta ahụ nʼaka gị abụọ.” Mgbe o jidere ụta ahụ Ịlaisha tụkwasịrị aka nke ya nʼaka eze.
17 Then he said; Let the window be open to the east: and he got it open. Then Elisha said, Let the arrow go; and he let it go. And he said, The Lord's arrow of salvation, of salvation over Aram; for you will overcome the Aramaeans in Aphek and put an end to them.
Ịlaisha gwara ya sị, “Meghee oghereikuku ahụ chere ihu nʼọwụwa anyanwụ.” O meghere ya. Mgbe ahụ Ịlaisha gwara ya sị, “Gbapụ àkụ.” Eze gbapụrụ àkụ. Ịlaisha kwuru sị, “Àkụ mmeri Onyenwe anyị, àkụ mmeri megide Aram. Ị ga-ebibi ndị Aram kpamkpam nʼAfek.”
18 And he said, Take the arrows: and he took them. And he said to the king of Israel, Send them down into the earth; and he did so three times and no more.
Ọ sịrị, “Chilite àkụ ndị ahụ,” ọ chilitere ha. Ịlaisha gwara eze Izrel, “Gbaa ha nʼala.” Ọ gbara ha nʼala ugboro atọ, ma kwụsị.
19 Then the man of God was angry with him and said, If you had done it five or six times, then you would have overcome Aram completely; but now you will only overcome them three times.
Ma onye nke Chineke ahụ were iwe sị ya, “Ị gaara apịa ya nʼala ugboro ise maọbụ isii. Mgbe ahụ, ị gaara enwe ike merie ndị Aram bibie ha kpamkpam. Ma ugbu a, ọ bụ naanị ugbo atọ ka ị ga-emeri ha.”
20 And death came to Elisha and they put his body into the earth. Now in the spring of the year, armed bands of Moabites frequently came, overrunning the land.
Ya mere, Ịlaisha nwụrụ. E likwara ya. Nʼoge ahụ, ọtụtụ ndị na-apụnara mmadụ ihe nʼike na-esi nʼala ndị Moab na-abịa nʼala Izrel izu ohi site nʼọnwa nke atọ nʼafọ ọhụrụ ọbụla.
21 And while they were putting a dead man into the earth, they saw a band coming; and they put the man quickly into the place where Elisha's body was; and the dead man, on touching Elisha's bones, came to life again, and got up on his feet.
Otu ụbọchị, mgbe ụfọdụ ndị ikom na-eli otu nwoke nwụrụ anwụ, ha hụrụ ndị a na-apụnara mmadụ ihe nʼike. Nʼihi nke a, ha mere ngwangwa site nʼụjọ tụbanye nwoke ahụ nʼili Ịlaisha. Mgbe ozu nwoke ahụ dara metụ ọkpụkpụ Ịlaisha ahụ, nwoke ahụ nwụrụ anwụ megharịrị ahụ bilie, guzo nʼụkwụ ya abụọ.
22 And Israel was crushed under the power of Hazael, king of Aram, all the days of Jehoahaz.
Hazael, eze Aram, busoro Izrel agha ụbọchị niile nke ndụ Jehoahaz eze Izrel.
23 But the Lord was kind to them and had pity on them, caring for them, because of his agreement with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; he would not put them to destruction or send them away from before his face till now.
Ma Onyenwe anyị meere ha amara, nwee ọmịiko nʼebe ha nọ, ma gosikwa ha na ihe banyere ha na-emetụ ya nʼobi nʼihi ọgbụgba ndụ ya na Ebraham na Aịzik na Jekọb. Ruo taa, o kweghị ka e bibie ha, maọbụ ka e site nʼihu ya chụpụ ha.
24 Then Hazael, king of Aram, came to his end; and Ben-hadad his son became king in his place.
Emesịa, Hazael eze Aram nwụrụ, Ben-Hadad nwa ya nọchikwara nʼọnọdụ ya.
25 And Jehoash, the son of Jehoahaz, took again from Ben-hadad, the son of Hazael, the towns which he had taken from Jehoahaz his father in war. Three times Jehoash overcame him and got back the towns of Israel.
Jehoash nwa Jehoahaz, weghachitere obodo niile nke ọ naara nʼaka nna ya Jehoahaz site nʼaka Ben-Hadad nwa Hazael. Ugboro atọ ka Jehoash meriri ya, site otu a weghachi obodo niile nke Izrel.
