< 2 Kings 8 >
1 Then spake Elisha vnto the woman, whose sonne he had restored to life, saying, Vp, and goe, thou, and thine house, and soiourne where thou canst soiourne: for the Lord hath called for a famine, and it commeth also vpon the land seuen yeeres.
Elisa gblɔ na nyɔnu si ƒe viŋutsu wògbɔ agbee la be, “Kplɔ wò ƒometɔwo eye miayi aɖanɔ teƒe aɖe si miate ŋu anɔ elabena Yehowa ɖe gbe be dɔwuame nava anyigba la dzi eye wòanɔ anyi ƒe adre.”
2 And the woman arose, and did after the saying of the man of God, and went both shee and her housholde and soiourned in the lande of the Philistims seuen yeeres.
Nyɔnu la wɔ nu si Mawu ƒe ame la gblɔ. Eya kple eƒe ƒometɔwo yi ɖanɔ Filistitɔwo ƒe anyigba dzi ƒe adre.
3 And at the seuen yeeres ende, the woman returned out of the lande of the Philistims, and went out to call vpon the King for her house and for her land.
Esi dɔwuame la nu tso la, nyɔnu la gatrɔ va Israelnyigba dzi eye wòva kpɔ fia la be wòagbugbɔ yeƒe aƒe kple anyigba na ye.
4 And the King talked with Gehazi the seruant of the man of God, saying, Tell mee, I pray thee, all the great actes, that Elisha hath done.
Fia la nɔ nu ƒom kple Gehazi, Elisa ƒe subɔla, esime nyɔnu la do ɖe fia la ŋkume. Fia la nɔ gbɔgblɔm na Gehazi be, “Gblɔ nya aɖewo nam tso nu gã siwo Elisa wɔ la ŋu.”
5 And as he told the King, howe he had restored one dead to life, behold, the woman, whose sonne he had raised to life, called vpon the King for her house and for her land. Then Gehazi sayd, My lorde, O King, this is the woman, and this is her sonne, whom Elisha restored to life.
Gehazi nɔ nu ƒom na fia la tso gbe si gbe Elisa gbɔ agbe ŋutsuvi kuku aɖe la ŋuti. Ɣe ma ɣi tututue ŋutsuvia dada do ɖe fia la ŋkume! Gehazi gblɔ na fia la be, “Ahã! Nye aƒetɔ fia bubutɔ, nyɔnu lae nye esia, ame si ƒe viŋutsu ku eye Elisa gbɔ agbee lae nye esia!”
6 And when the King asked the woman, shee told him: so the King appoynted her an Eunuch, saying, Restore thou all that are hers, and all the fruites of her landes since the day shee left the land, euen vntill this time.
Fia la bia nyɔnu la be, “Nyateƒea?” Nyɔnu la ɖo eŋu be, “Ɛ̃, nyateƒee!” Ale fia la ɖe gbe na eŋumewo dometɔ ɖeka be wòakpɔ egbɔ be nu sia nu si nye nyɔnu la tɔ kpɔ la naka esi eye be woaxe fe nɛ ɖe nuku siwo woxa le eƒe anyimanɔmanɔ me la nu.
7 Then Elisha came to Damascus, and Ben-hadad the King of Aram was sicke, and one told him, saying, The man of God is come hither.
Le esia megbe la, Elisa yi Damasko, Siria ƒe fiadu me esime Siria fia, Ben Hadad nɔ dɔ lém le afi ma. Ame aɖe gblɔ na fia la be nyagblɔɖila la va.
8 And the king sayd vnto Hazael, Take a present in thine hande, and goe meete the man of God, that thou mayest inquire of ye Lord by him, saying, Shall I recouer of this disease?
Egblɔ na Hazael be, “Tsɔ nunana ɖe asi eye nàyi ɖakpɔ Mawu ƒe ame la. Bia gbe Yehowa to Mawu ƒe ame la dzi. Biae be, ‘Ɖe mahaya tso nye dɔléle sia mea?’”
9 So Hazael went to meete him, and tooke the present in his hand, and of euery good thing of Damascus, euen the burden of fourtie camels, and came and stood before him, and sayde, Thy sonne Ben-hadad King of Aram hath sent me to thee, saying, Shall I recouer of this disease?
Hazael yi ɖado go Elisa. Edo agba na kposɔ blaene kple adzɔnu nyuitɔwo tso Damasko. Eyi ɖatsi tsitre ɖe eŋkume hegblɔ be, “Viwò Ben Hadad, Siria fia dɔm ɖa be mabia wò be, ‘Ɖe mahaya tso nye dɔléle sia mea?’”
10 And Elisha sayd to him, Goe, and say vnto him, Thou shalt recouer: howbeit the Lord hath shewed me, that he shall surely dye.
Elisa ɖo eŋu be, “Gblɔ nɛ be ahaya gake Yehowa ɖee fiam be ele kuku ge godoo!”
11 And hee looked vpon him stedfastly, till Hazael was ashamed, and the man of God wept.
Elisa lĩ ŋku ɖe Hazael dzi gãa va se ɖe esime Hazael tɔtɔ eye Elisa de asi avifafa me.
12 And Hazael sayde, Why weepeth my lord? And he answered, Because I knowe the euill that thou shalt do vnto the children of Israel: for their strong cities shalt thou set on fire, and their yong men shalt thou slay with the sworde, and shalt dash their infantes against the stones, and rent in pieces their women with child.
Hazael biae be, “Nu ka ta nye aƒetɔ le avi fam?” Elisa ɖo eŋu be, “Menya nu vɔ̃ɖi siwo nèle wɔwɔ ge Israelviwo; àtɔ dzo woƒe mɔwo, àwu woƒe ɖekakpuiwo, àxlã woƒe vidzĩwo ɖe agakpewo eye àdze ƒodo le woƒe funɔwo nu!”
13 Then Hazael said, What? is thy seruant a dog, that I should doe this great thing? And Elisha answered, The Lord hath shewed mee, that thou shalt be King of Aram.
Hazael gblɔ be, “Avue menyea? Nyemawɔ nu ma tɔgbi gbeɖegbeɖe o!” Ke Elisa ɖo eŋu be, “Yehowa na menya be wòe ava zu fia le Siria.”
14 So he departed from Elisha, and came to his master, who said to him, What saide Elisha to thee? And he answered, Hee tolde mee that thou shouldest recouer.
Esi Hazael trɔ le Elisa gbɔ va yi eƒe aƒetɔ gbɔ la gbɔ la, ebiae be, “Nya kae nyagblɔɖila la gblɔ na wò?” Hazael ɖo eŋu be, “Egblɔ nam be àhaya.”
15 And on the morow he tooke a thick cloth and dipt in it water, and spread it on his face, and hee dyed: and Hazael reigned in his stead.
Ke esi ŋu ke la, Hazael tsɔ kundru aɖe de tsi me eye wòtsɔe tsyɔ mo na fia Ben Hadad va se ɖe esime gbɔgbɔtsixe tsi eƒo eye wòku. Ale Hazael zu fia ɖe eteƒe.
16 Now in the fift yere of Ioram ye sonne of Ahab King of Israel, and of Iehoshaphat King of Iudah, Iehoram the sonne of Iehoshaphat King of Iudah began to reigne.
Fia Yoram, Yuda fia Yehosafat ƒe vi dze eƒe fiaɖuɖu gɔme le Israel fia, Yehoram, Fia Ahab ƒe vi ƒe fiaɖuɖu ƒe ƒe atɔ̃lia me.
17 He was two and thirtie yere olde, when he began to reigne: and hee reigned eight yeere in Ierusalem.
Yoram xɔ ƒe blaetɔ̃-vɔ-eve esi wòzu fia. Eɖu fia le Yerusalem ƒe enyi.
18 And hee walked in the wayes of the Kings of Israel, as did the house of Ahab: for the daughter of Ahab was his wife, and hee did euill in the sight of the Lord.
Enye fia vɔ̃ɖi aɖe abe Ahab kple Israel fia bubuawo ene. Eɖe Ahab ƒe vinyɔnu eye wòwɔ nu si nye vɔ̃ le Yehowa ŋkume.
19 Yet the Lord would not destroy Iudah, for Dauid his seruants sake, as he had promised him to giue him a light, and to his children for euer.
Ke esi Yehowa do ŋugbe na eƒe dɔla, Fia David, be yeakpɔ eƒe dzidzimeviwo dzi eye yeakplɔ wo ta la, metsrɔ̃ Yuda o.
20 In those dayes Edom rebelled from vnder the hand of Iudah, and made a King ouer themselues.
Le Yoram ƒe fiaɖuɣi la, Edomtɔwo dze aglã, ɖe wo ɖokui ɖa tso Yuda te eye woɖo fia na wo ɖokui.
21 Therefore Ioram went to Zair, and all his charets with him, and he arose by night, and smote the Edomites which were about him with the captains of the charets, and the people fled into their tents.
Ke Yehoram kple eƒe tasiaɖamwo katã ho yi Zair. Le zã me la, Edomʋakɔ va ɖe to ɖe wo kpe ɖe eƒe tasiaɖam megãwo ŋu. Ke Yoram kple eƒe tasiaɖam megãwo kpe aʋa kple Edomtɔwo hekpe wo dzi hesi to wo dome dzo. Ke eƒe amewo si yi aƒe.
22 So Edom rebelled from vnder the hand of Iudah vnto this day. then Libnah rebelled at that same time.
Ale Edom do le Yuda ƒe kɔkuti te va se ɖe egbe. Libna hã dze aglã ɣe ma ɣi tututu.
23 Concerning the rest of the actes of Ioram and all that hee did, are they not written in the booke of the Chronicles of the Kings of Iudah?
Woŋlɔ Fia Yoram ƒe ŋutinya mamlɛa ɖe, Yuda fiawo ƒe ŋutinyagbalẽ me.
24 And Ioram slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the citie of Dauid. And Ahaziah his sonne reigned in his stead.
Eku eye woɖii ɖe tɔgbuiawo dome le David ƒe du la me. Ke Ahazia si nye Via ŋutsuvi ɖu fia ɖe eteƒe.
25 In the twelft yere of Ioram the sonne of Ahab King of Israel did Ahaziah the sonne of Iehoram King of Iudah begin to reigne.
Yoram ƒe vi, Ahazia zu fia yeye la le Israel fia Yehoram, Ahab ƒe vi ƒe fiaɖuɖu ƒe ƒe wuievelia me.
26 Two and twentie yeere olde was Ahaziah when he began to reigne, and he reigned one yere in Ierusalem, and his mothers name was Athaliah the daughter of Omri King of Israel.
Ahazia xɔ ƒe blaeve-vɔ-eve esi wòzu fia. Eɖu fia ƒe ɖeka ko le Yerusalem. Dadae nye Atalia, Israel fia, Omri ƒe tɔgbuiyɔvi.
27 And he walked in the way of the house of Ahab, and did euill in the sight of the Lord, like the house of Ahab: for hee was the sonne in law of the house of Ahab.
Enye fia vɔ̃ɖi aɖe abe ale si Fia Ahab ƒe dzidzimeviwo katã nɔ ene elabena edo ƒome kple Fia Ahab to srɔ̃ɖeɖe me.
28 And he went with Ioram the sonne of Ahab to warre against Hazael King of Aram in Ramoth Gilead, and the Aramites smote Ioram.
Ahazia kple Ahab ƒe vi Yoram woho aʋa ɖe Aram fia Hazael ŋu le Ramot Gilead. Aramtɔwo de abi Yoram ŋu le aʋa sia me
29 And King Ioram returned to bee healed in Izreel of the wounds which ye Aramites had giuen him at Ramah, whe he fought against Hazael King of Aram. And Ahaziah the sonne of Iehoram King of Iudah went downe to see Ioram the sonne of Ahab in Izreel, because he was sicke.
