< 2 Kings 8 >
1 And Elisha' spoke unto the woman, whose son he had restored to life, saying, Arise, and go, thou and thy household, and sojourn wheresoever thou canst sojourn; for the Lord hath called for a famine, and it is also coming in the land for seven years.
Na rĩrĩ, Elisha akĩĩra mũtumia ũrĩa aariũkĩirie mwana atĩrĩ, “Thiĩ hamwe na andũ a nyũmba yaku mũgaikare kwa ihinda kũrĩa mũngĩhota gũikara, tondũ Jehova nĩatuĩte kũgĩe ngʼaragu bũrũri-inĩ ũyũ, ĩrĩa ĩkũniina mĩaka mũgwanja.”
2 And the woman arose, and did after the word of the man of God; and she went, she with her household, and sojourned in the land of the Philistines seven years.
Nake mũtumia ũcio agĩĩka o ta ũrĩa mũndũ wa Ngai oigĩte. We mwene na andũ a nyũmba yake magĩthiĩ na magĩikara bũrũri wa Afilisti mĩaka mũgwanja.
3 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 cry unto the king for her house and for her land.
Na rĩrĩ, mĩaka mũgwanja yathira-rĩ, akiuma bũrũri wa Afilisti, agĩthiĩ kũrĩ mũthamaki kũmũthaitha nĩ ũndũ wa nyũmba na gĩthaka gĩake.
4 And the king was just speaking with Gechazi the servant of the man of God, saying, Relate to me, I pray thee, all the great things that Elisha' hath done.
Mũthamaki aaragia na Gehazi, ndungata ya mũndũ wa Ngai, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Ta njĩĩra maũndũ mothe manene marĩa Elisha aaneka.”
5 And it came to pass, as he was just relating to the king how he had restored the dead to life, that, behold, the woman, whose son he had restored to life, cried to the king for her house and for her land. And Gechazi said, My lord, O king, this is the woman, and this is her son, whom Elisha' restored to life.
O rĩrĩa Gehazi eeraga mũthamaki ũrĩa Elisha aariũkirie mũndũ-rĩ, mũtumia ũrĩa wariũkĩirio mũriũ nĩ Elisha agĩũka gũthaitha mũthamaki nĩ ũndũ wa nyũmba na gĩthaka gĩake. Nake Gehazi akiuga atĩrĩ, “Mũthamaki mwathi wakwa, ũyũ nĩwe mũtumia ũcio, na mũriũ ũrĩa wariũkirio nĩ Elisha nĩwe ũyũ.”
6 And the king asked of the woman, who related it to him. So the king appointed unto her a certain officer, saying, Restore all that belongeth to her, and all the products of the field since the day that she left the land, even until now.
Nake mũthamaki akĩũria mũtumia ũhoro ũcio, nake akĩmũhe ũhoro. Ningĩ mũthamaki akĩĩra mũnene ũmwe wake ũhoro wa mũtumia ũcio, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Mũcookerie kĩrĩa gĩothe kĩarĩ gĩake, hamwe na uumithio wothe wa gĩthaka gĩake, kuuma mũthenya ũrĩa oimire bũrũri ũyũ o nginya rĩu.”
7 And Elisha' came to Damascus; and Ben-hadad, the king of Syria, was sick; and it was told him, saying, The man of God is come even hither.
Na rĩrĩ, Elisha agĩthiĩ Dameski, nake Beni-Hadadi mũthamaki wa Suriata aarĩ mũrũaru. Rĩrĩa mũthamaki eerirwo atĩrĩ, “Mũndũ wa Ngai nĩokĩte nginya gũkũ,”
8 And the king said unto Chazael, Take a present in thy hand, and go to meet the man of God, and inquire of the Lord from him, saying, Shall I recover from this sickness?
akĩĩra Hazaeli atĩrĩ, “Oya kĩheo, ũthiĩ ũtũnge mũndũ wa Ngai. Tuĩria ũhoro harĩ Jehova na ũndũ wake; mũũrie atĩrĩ, ‘Niĩ nĩngũhona ndwari ĩno?’”
9 So Chazael went to meet him, and took a present in his hand, and all manner of good things of Damascus, a burden for forty camels, and he came and stood before him, and said, Thy son Ben-hadad the king of Syria hath sent me to thee, saying, Shall I recover from this sickness?
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Hazaeli agĩthiĩ gũtũnga Elisha, akuuĩte kĩheo kĩa indo iria njega cia Dameski, ikuuĩtwo nĩ ngamĩĩra mĩrongo ĩna. Hazaeli agĩthiĩ, akĩrũgama mbere ya Elisha, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Mũrũguo Beni-Hadadi mũthamaki wa Suriata nĩwe wandũma ngũũrie atĩrĩ, ‘Niĩ nĩngũhona ndwari ĩno?’”
10 And Elisha' said unto him, Go, say unto him, Thou mayest certainly recover; nevertheless the Lord hath shown me that he shall surely die.
Nake Elisha agĩcookia atĩrĩ, “Thiĩ ũmwĩre atĩrĩ, ‘Ti-itherũ nĩũkũhona’; no Jehova nĩanguũrĩirie atĩ no egũkua.”
11 And he restrained his countenance, and held back as long as he could: and then wept the man of God.
Elisha akĩmũkũũrĩra maitho amũrorete nginya Hazaeli agĩconoka. Nake mũndũ wa Ngai akĩambĩrĩria kũrĩra.
12 And Chazael said, Why doth my Lord weep? And he said, Because I know what evil thou wilt do unto the children of Israel: their strong-holds wilt thou set on fire, and their young men wilt thou slay with the sword, and their children wilt thou dash, and their pregnant women wilt thou rip up.
Nake Hazaeli akĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Nĩ kĩĩ kĩratũma mwathi wakwa arĩre?” Nake agĩcookia atĩrĩ, “Nĩ ũndũ nĩnjũũĩ ũũru ũrĩa ũkaarehere andũ a Isiraeli. Nĩũgacina ciĩgitĩro ciao iria nũmu, na ũũrage aanake ao na rũhiũ rwa njora, ũtungumanie twana twao thĩ, na ũtarũre nda cia andũ-a-nja arĩa marĩ nda.”
13 And Chazael said, But what is thy servant, the dog, that he should do this great thing? And Elisha' said, The Lord hath caused me to see thee as king over Syria.
Nake Hazaeli akĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Ndungata ĩno yaku ĩtariĩ ta ngui-rĩ, yahota atĩa gwĩka ũndũ mũnene ũguo?” Nake Elisha akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Jehova nĩanyonetie atĩ nĩũgatuĩka mũthamaki wa Suriata.”
14 So he went away from Elisha', and came to his master; who said to him, What hath Elisha' said to thee? And he said, he said to me that thou couldst surely recover.
Ningĩ Hazaeli agĩtigana na Elisha agĩcooka kũrĩ mwathi wake. Rĩrĩa Beni-Hadadi aamũũririe atĩrĩ, “Elisha akwĩrire atĩa?” Hazaeli akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Anjĩĩrire ti-itherũ nĩũkũhona.”
15 And it came to pass on the morrow, that he took a cover lid, and dipped it in water, and spread it over his face, and he died: and Chazael became king in his stead.
No mũthenya ũyũ ũngĩ Hazaeli akĩoya taama mũritũ, akĩũtobokia maaĩ-inĩ, akĩhumbĩra mũthamaki ũthiũ naguo, o nginya agĩkua. Nake Hazaeli agĩthamaka ithenya rĩake.
16 And in the fifth year of Joram the son of Achab the king of Israel, Jehoshaphat being yet king of Judah, Jehoram the son of Jehoshaphat the king of Judah became king.
Mwaka-inĩ wa ĩtano wa wathani wa Joramu mũrũ wa Ahabu mũthamaki wa Isiraeli-rĩ, Jehoramu mũrũ wa Jehoshafatu akĩambĩrĩria gũthamaka Juda.
17 Thirty and two years old was he when he became king, and eight years did he reign in Jerusalem.
Jehoramu aarĩ na ũkũrũ wa mĩaka mĩrongo ĩtatũ na ĩĩrĩ rĩrĩa aatuĩkire mũthamaki, na agĩthamaka arĩ Jerusalemu mĩaka ĩnana.
18 And he walked in the way of the kings of Israel, as the house of Achab had done; for a daughter of Achab had he for wife: and he did what is evil in the eyes of the Lord.
Nĩathiire na mĩthiĩre ya athamaki a Isiraeli, o ta ũrĩa nyũmba ya Ahabu yekĩte, nĩgũkorwo aahikirie mwarĩ wa Ahabu. Nĩekire maũndũ mooru maitho-inĩ ma Jehova.
19 Yet would the Lord not destroy Judah for the sake of David his servant, as he said unto him, to give him a government and to his children at all times.
No rĩrĩ, nĩ ũndũ wa ndungata yake Daudi, Jehova ndeendaga kwananga Juda. Nĩeranĩire atĩ nĩegũtũũria tawa nĩ ũndũ wa Daudi na njiaro ciake nginya tene.
20 In his days Edom revolted from under the power of Judah, and they appointed a king over themselves.
Mahinda ma Jehoramu-rĩ, andũ a Edomu nĩmaremeire Juda na makĩgĩa na mũthamaki wao ene.
21 And Joram went over to Za'ir, and all the chariots were with him; and he rose up by night, and smote the Edomites who compassed him about, and the captains of the chariots: and the people fled unto their tents.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Jehoramu agĩthiĩ Zairu hamwe na ngaari ciake ciothe cia ita. Andũ a Edomu makĩmũrigiicĩria hamwe na anene a ngaari ciake cia ita, no agĩũkĩra na akĩũra ũtukũ; narĩo ita rĩake, o na kũrĩ o ũguo, rĩkĩũra rĩgĩcooka mũciĩ.
22 Yet Edom revolted from under the power of Judah even until this day; then did Libnah revolt at the same time.
Nginyagia ũmũthĩ andũ a Edomu matũũraga maremeire Juda. Andũ a Libina o nao makĩrega watho wa Juda o ihinda-inĩ rĩu.
23 And the rest of the acts of Joram, and all that he did, behold, they are written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah.
Maũndũ marĩa mangĩ makoniĩ wathani wa Jehoramu, na marĩa mothe eekire, githĩ matiandĩkĩtwo ibuku-inĩ rĩa maũndũ ma mahinda ma athamaki a Juda?
24 And Joram slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David: and Achazyahu his son became king in his stead.
Nake Jehoramu akĩhurũka hamwe na maithe make na agĩthikwo hamwe nao itũũra-inĩ rĩa Daudi. Nake mũriũ Ahazia agĩtuĩka mũthamaki ithenya rĩake.
25 In the twelfth year of Joram the son of Achab the king of Israel became Achazyahu, the son of Jehoram the king of Judah, king.
Mwaka-inĩ wa ikũmi na ĩĩrĩ wa wathani wa Joramu mũrũ wa Ahabu mũthamaki wa Isiraeli-rĩ, Ahazia mũrũ wa Jehoramu mũthamaki wa Juda nĩguo ambĩrĩirie gũthamaka.
26 Two and twenty years old was Achazyahu when he became king; and one year did he reign in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was 'Athalyahu, the [grand-]daughter of 'Omri the king of Israel.
Ahazia aarĩ na ũkũrũ wa mĩaka mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ na ĩĩrĩ rĩrĩa aatuĩkire mũthamaki, na agĩthamaka arĩ Jerusalemu mwaka ũmwe. Nyina eetagwo Athalia, mwarĩ wa mwana wa Omuri mũthamaki wa Isiraeli.
27 And he walked in the way of the house of Achab, and did what is evil in the eyes of the Lord, like the house of Achab; for he was the son-in-law of the house of Achab.
Nake Ahazia agĩthiĩ na mĩthiĩre ya nyũmba ya Ahabu, na agĩĩka ũũru maitho-inĩ ma Jehova o ta ũrĩa nyũmba ya Ahabu yekĩte, nĩgũkorwo nĩmatarainie na nyũmba ya Ahabu nĩ ũndũ wa kũhikania kuo.
28 And he went with Joram the son of Achab to the war against Chazael the king of Syria at Ramoth-gil'ad: and the Syrians smote Joram.
Ahazia nĩmathiire na Joramu mũrũ wa Ahabu nĩguo makarũe na Hazaeli mũthamaki wa Suriata kũu Ramothu-Gileadi. Nao Asuriata makĩguraria Joramu;
29 And king Joram returned to be healed in Yizre'el of the wounds which the Syrians had inflicted on him at Ramah, when he was fighting against Chazael the king of Syria. And Achazyahu the son of Jehoram the king of Judah went down to see Joram the son of Achab in Yizre'el, because he was sick.
nĩ ũndũ ũcio Mũthamaki Joramu akĩhũndũka, agĩthiĩ Jezireeli nĩguo akahonie nguraro iria aagurarĩtio nĩ Asuriata kũu Ramothu makĩrũa na Hazaeli mũthamaki wa Suriata. Hĩndĩ ĩyo Ahazia mũrũ wa Jehoramu mũthamaki wa Juda agĩikũrũka, agĩthiĩ Jezireeli akarore Joramu mũrũ wa Ahabu, tondũ nĩagurarĩtio.
