< 2 Kings 13 >

1 In the three and twentieth year of Joash the son of Achazyahu the king of Judah became Jehoachaz the son of Jehu king over Israel in Samaria [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 And he did what is evil in the eyes of the Lord, and followed the sins of Jerobo'am the son of Nebat, who induced Israel to sin: he departed not therefrom.
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 And the anger of the Lord was kindled against Israel; and he gave them up into the hand of Chazael the king of Syria, and into the hand of Ben-hadad the son of Chazael, all the time.
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 And Jehoachaz besought the Lord; and the Lord hearkened unto him; for he saw the oppression of Israel, how the king of Syria oppressed them.
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 deliverer, so that they came out from under the power of the Syrians: and the children of Israel dwelt in their tents, as in times 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 Nevertheless they departed not from the sins of the house of Jerobo'am, who induced Israel to sin, therein the people walked: and the Asherah also remained standing 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 he had left of people to Jehoachaz none but fifty horsemen, and ten chariots, and ten thousand men on foot; for the king of Syria had destroyed them, and had made them like the dust at threshing.
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 Jehoachaz, and all that he did, and his mighty deeds, behold, they are written in the book of the chronicles 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 Jehoachaz slept with his fathers; and they buried him in Samaria: and Joash his son became king in his stead.
Jehoahaz sooro ndị nna nna ya ha dina nʼọnwụ, e lie ya na Sameria. Nwa ya Jehoash nọchiri anya ya.
10 In the thirty and seventh year of Joash the king of Judah became Jehoash the son of Jehoachaz king over Israel in Samaria, [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 And he did what is evil in the eyes of the Lord; he departed not from all the sins of Jerobo'am the son of Nebat, who induced Israel to sin: therein he walked.
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 And the rest of the acts of Joash, and all that he did, and his mighty deeds wherewith he fought against Amazyah the king of Judah, behold, they are written in the book of the chronicles 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 slept with his fathers; and Jerobo'am sat upon his throne: and Joash was buried 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' was fallen sick of his sickness whereof he had to die. And Joash the king of Israel came down unto him, and wept over his face, and said, O my father, my father, the chariot of Israel, and their 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 And Elisha' said unto him, Fetch a bow and arrows. And he fetched unto him a 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, Place thy hand upon the bow. And he placed his hand [upon it]: and Elisha' laid his hands upon 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 And he said, Open the window eastward. And he opened it. Then said Elisha', Shoot. And he shot. And he said, The arrow of victory from the Lord, and the arrow of victory over Syria; and thou shalt smite the Syrians in Aphek, till they be consumed.
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 unto the king of Israel, Strike upon the ground. And he struck three times, and stopped.
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 And the man of God was angry with him, and said, Thou shouldst have struck five or six times; then wouldst thou have smitten the Syrians till they had been consumed: whereas now thou shalt smite the Syrians 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 Elisha' died, and they buried him. And the predatory bands of Moabites frequently invaded the land at the coming in of the year.
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 it came to pass, as they were burying a man, that, behold, they saw the band; and they cast down the man into the sepulchre of Elisha': and as the man came, and touched the bones of Elisha', he revived, and rose 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 But Chazael the king of Syria oppressed Israel all the days of Jehoachaz.
Hazael, eze Aram, busoro Izrel agha ụbọchị niile nke ndụ Jehoahaz eze Izrel.
23 And the Lord became gracious unto them, and had mercy on them, and turned his regard unto them, because of his covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and would not destroy them, and he cast them not off from his presence even until 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 And Chazael the king of Syria died: and Ben-hadad his son became king in his stead.
Emesịa, Hazael eze Aram nwụrụ, Ben-Hadad nwa ya nọchikwara nʼọnọdụ ya.
25 And Jehoash the son of Jehoachaz took again the cities out of the power of Ben-hadad the son of Chazael, which he had taken out of the power of Jehoachaz his father in the war. Three times did Joash beat him, and he recovered the cities 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.
