2 Kings 13
1 In the twenty-third year of Jehoash, the son of Ahaziah, the king of Judah, Jehoahaz, the son of Jehu, reigned over Israel, in Samaria, for seventeen years.
Le Yuda fia, Yoas, Ahazia ƒe vi ƒe fiaɖuɖu ƒe ƒe blaeve-vɔ-etɔ̃lia me la, Yehoahaz, Yehu ƒe vi zu Israel fia le Samaria eye wòɖu fia ƒe wuiadre.
2 And he did evil before the Lord. And he followed the sins of Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, who caused Israel to sin. And he did not turn aside from these.
Enye fia vɔ̃ɖi aɖe eye wòto Fia Yeroboam, ame si he Israel de nu vɔ̃ me la ƒe mɔ vɔ̃wo dzi.
3 And the fury of the Lord was enraged against Israel, and he delivered them into the hand of Hazael, the king of Syria, and into the hand of Benhadad, the son of Hazael, during all the days.
Ale Yehowa do dɔmedzoe ɖe Israel ŋu eye wòɖe mɔ be Siria fia, Hazael kple via Ben Hadad naɖu wo dzi enuenu.
4 But Jehoahaz petitioned the face of the Lord, and the Lord heeded him. For he saw the anguish of Israel, because the king of Syria had oppressed them.
Ke Yehoahaz do gbe ɖa, bia Yehowa ƒe kpekpeɖeŋu. Yehowa se eƒe gbedodoɖa elabena Yehowa kpɔ ale si Siria fia la nɔ Israelviwo tem ɖe toe.
5 And the Lord gave a savior to Israel. And they were freed from the hand of the king of Syria. And the sons of Israel lived in their tabernacles, just as yesterday and the day before.
Ale Yehowa na kplɔlawo do tso Israel me be woaɖe wo tso Siriatɔwo ƒe fuwɔame me, ale Israel gakpɔ gbɔdzɔe kple dedinɔnɔ abe tsã ene.
6 Yet truly, they did not withdraw from the sins of the house of Jeroboam, who had caused Israel to sin. Instead, they walked by them. And there was even a sacred grove still remaining in Samaria.
Ke wogayi nu vɔ̃ wɔwɔ dzi kokoko, wodze Yeroboam ƒe nu vɔ̃ mɔwo dzi eye wosubɔa aƒeli le Samaria.
7 And there was left to Jehoahaz from the people nothing but fifty horsemen, and ten chariots, and ten thousand foot soldiers. For the king of Syria had killed them, and he had reduced them to become like dust on a threshing floor.
Mlɔeba la, Yehowa na sɔdola blaatɔ̃ kple tasiaɖam ewo kple aʋawɔla akpe ewo ko susɔ ɖe Fia Yeroboam ƒe aʋakɔ me elabena Siria fia tsrɔ̃ ame bubuawo abe ʋuʋudedi wonye le eƒe afɔ te ene.
8 But the rest of the words of Jehoahaz, and all that he did, and his strength, have these not been written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Israel?
Woŋlɔ Yehoahaz ƒe ŋutinya mamlɛawo, nu siwo katã wòwɔ kple eƒe kalẽwɔwɔwo ɖe Israel fiawo ƒe ŋutinyagbalẽ me.
9 And Jehoahaz slept with his fathers, and they buried him in Samaria. And Joash, his son, reigned in his place.
Yehoahaz ku, woɖii ɖe Samaria eye via, Yehoas ɖu fia ɖe eteƒe.
10 In the thirty-seventh year of Jehoash, the king of Judah, Joash, the son of Jehoahaz, reigned over Israel, in Samaria, for sixteen years.
Yehoas zu fia le Yuda fia Yoas ƒe fiaɖuɖu ƒe ƒe blaetɔ̃-vɔ-adrelia me, eye wònɔ zi dzi ƒe wuiade le Samaria.
11 And he did what is evil in the sight of the Lord. He did not turn aside from all the sins of Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, who caused Israel to sin. Instead, he walked by them.
Enye fia vɔ̃ɖi aɖe le Yehowa ŋkume abe Yeroboam, Nebat ƒe vi ene; ena Israelviwo subɔ legbawo eye wòkplɔ wo de nu vɔ̃ me.
12 But the rest of the words of Joash, and all that he did, and his strength, the manner in which he fought against Amaziah, the king of Judah, have these not been written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Israel?
Woŋlɔ Yehoas ƒe fiaɖuɖu, aʋa siwo wòwɔ kple Yuda fia Amazia la ƒe ŋutinyawo ɖe Israel fiawo ƒe ŋutinyagbalẽ me.
13 And Joash slept with his fathers. Then Jeroboam sat upon his throne. And Joash was buried in Samaria, with the kings of Israel.
Yehoas ku, woɖii ɖe Samaria ɖe Israel fia bubuwo gbɔ eye Yeroboam Evelia zu fia ɖe eteƒe.
14 Now Elisha was sick of the infirmity from which he also died. And Joash, the king of Israel, descended to him. And he was weeping before him, and saying: “My father, my father! The chariot of Israel and its driver!”
Esime Elisa nɔ kudɔ ƒom la, Yehoas, Israel fia, yi ɖakpɔe ɖa eye wòfa avi le egbɔ hegblɔ be, “Fofonye! Fofonye! Wòe nye Israel ƒe tasiaɖamwo kple sɔdolawo!”
15 And Elisha said to him, “Bring a bow and arrows.” And when he had brought a bow and arrows to him,
Elisa gblɔ be, “Yi nàdi da kple dati aɖewo vɛ.” Yehoas yi eye wòdi wo vɛ.
16 he said to the king of Israel, “Place your hand upon the bow.” And when he had placed his hand, Elisha placed his own hands over the hands of the king.
Egblɔ na Israel fia be, “Lé dati la ɖe asi.” Esi wòlé dati la ɖe asi la, Elisa da eƒe asiwo ɖe fia la tɔwo dzi.
17 And he said, “Open the window toward the east.” And when he had opened it, Elisha said, “Shoot an arrow.” And he shot it. And Elisha said: “It is the arrow of the salvation of the Lord, and the arrow of salvation against Syria. And you shall strike the Syrians at Aphek, until you consume them.”
Elisa gblɔ be “Ʋu fesre si le ɣedzeƒe lɔƒo.” Fia la ʋui. Elisa gblɔ be, “Dae” Eye fia la dae. Elisa gblɔ be “Esiae nye Yehowa ƒe dziɖuɖu ƒe aŋutrɔ si miatsɔ aɖu Siria dzi. Àtsrɔ̃ Syriatɔwo gbidigbidi le Afek.”
18 And he said, “Take the arrows.” And when he had taken them, he then said to him, “Strike an arrow against the ground.” And when he had struck three times, and he had stood still,
Elisa gblɔ be, “Tsɔ datiawo.” Eye fia la tsɔ wo. Elisa gblɔ nɛ be, “Tsɔ datiawo te anyigba.” Fia la te anyigba zi etɔ̃ eye wòdzudzɔ.
19 the man of God became angry against him. And he said: “If you had struck five or six or seven times, you would have struck down Syria, even until it was consumed. But now you will strike it three times.”
Ke Nyagblɔɖila la do dɔmedzoe ɖe eŋu eye wògblɔ nɛ be, “Ɖe nàtsɔ aŋutrɔawo ate anyigba zi atɔ̃ alo ade hafi. Anye ne àɖu Siriatɔwo dzi woatsrɔ̃ keŋkeŋ hafi. Fifia la, àɖu wo dzi zi etɔ̃ ko!”
20 Then Elisha died, and they buried him. And the robbers from Moab came into the land in the same year.
Elisa ku eye woɖii. Le ŋkeke mawo me la, adzohawo tsoa Moabnyigba dzi gena ɖe dukɔ la me ƒe sia ƒe ƒe adame hedaa adzo.
21 But certain ones who were burying a man saw the robbers, and they cast the dead body into the sepulcher of Elisha. But when it had touched the bones of Elisha, the man revived, and he stood upon his feet.
Gbe ɖeka la, esime Israelvi aɖewo nɔ ame kuku aɖe ɖim la, wokpɔ adzoha aɖe; ale wotsɔ ame kuku la ƒu gbe ɖe Elisa ƒe yɔdo me. Esime ame kuku la ka Elisa ƒe ƒuwo ŋu ko la, ame kuku la gbɔ agbe eye wòtsi tsitre.
22 Now Hazael, the king of Syria, afflicted Israel during all the days of Jehoahaz.
Siria fia Hazael te Israel ɖe to, le Fia Yehoas ƒe fiaɖuɣi blibo la me.
23 But the Lord took pity on them, and he returned to them, because of his covenant, which he had made with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob. And he was not willing to destroy them, nor to cast them out completely, even to the present time.
Ke Yehowa ve Israelviwo nu eye wometsrɔ̃ wo keŋkeŋ o. Eva eme alea elabena Yehowa kpɔ nublanui na wo. Hekpe ɖe esia ŋu la, enɔ nubabla si wòwɔ kple Abraham, Isak kple Yakob la dzi wɔm kokoko.
24 Then Hazael, the king of Syria, died. And Benhadad, his son, reigned in his place.
Siria fia Hazael ku eye via Ben Hadad ɖu fia ɖe eteƒe.
25 Now Joash, the son of Jehoahaz, by a just war, took the cities from the hand of Benhadad, the son of Hazael, which he had taken from the hand of Jehoahaz, his father. Joash struck him three times, and he restored the cities to Israel.
Israel fia Yehoas, Yehoahaz ƒe vi wɔ aʋa ɖu dzi zi etɔ̃ eye wògbugbɔ Israel du siwo Fia Ben Hadad xɔ le fofoa si to edziɖuɖu me le aʋa me la xɔ.
