2 Kings 1
1 And Moab transgresses against Israel after the death of Ahab,
Moab nupuru isi megide Izrel mgbe Ehab nwụrụ.
2 and Ahaziah falls through the lattice in his upper chamber that [is] in Samaria, and is sick, and sends messengers, and says to them, “Go, inquire of Ba‘al-Zebub god of Ekron if I recover from this sickness.”
Nʼoge a, Ahazaya sitere na mgbe ụlọ elu ya dị na Sameria daa, merụọ ahụ nke ukwuu. Nʼihi ọrịa a, o zigara ndị ozi, sị ha, “Gaa jụta ase nʼaka Baal-Zebub, bụ chi Ekrọn, ma m ga-adịrị site nʼihe mmerụ ahụ a.”
3 And a messenger of YHWH has spoken to Elijah the Tishbite, “Rise, go up to meet the messengers of the king of Samaria, and speak to them, Is it because there is not a God in Israel—you are going to inquire of Ba‘al-Zebub god of Ekron?
Ma mmụọ ozi Onyenwe anyị gwara Ịlaịja onye Tishbe okwu sị ya, “Gaa zute ndị ozi eze Sameria zipụrụ, jụọ ha sị, ‘Gịnị mere unu ji aga Ekrọn ịjụ ase? Ọ bụ na Chineke anọghị nʼIzrel mere unu ji aga ịjụ Baal-Zebub ase ịmata ma eze ọ ga-adị ndụ?’
4 And therefore, thus said YHWH: The bed to where you have gone up, you do not come down from it, for you certainly die”; and Elijah goes on.
Nʼihi nke a, otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwuru, ‘Ị gaghị esite nʼelu ihe ndina ahụ bilie. Ị ghaghị ịnwụ!’” Ya mere Ịlaịja pụrụ gaa zie ndị ozi eze ozi ahụ.
5 And the messengers return to him, and he says to them, “What [is] this—you have turned back!”
Ndị ozi ahụ laghachiri azụ. Ma mgbe eze hụrụ ha, ọ jụrụ ha sị, “Gịnị mere unu ji lọghachi?”
6 And they say to him, “A man has come up to meet us and says to us, Go, return to the king who sent you, and you have said to him, Thus said YHWH: Is it because there is not a God in Israel—you are sending to inquire of Ba‘al-Zebub god of Ekron? Therefore, the bed to where you have gone up, you do not come down from it, for you certainly die.”
Ha zara ya, “Otu nwoke zutere anyị nʼụzọ sị anyị, ‘Laghachi ga zie eze ahụ zitere unu sị ya: “Ihe ndị a, ka Onyenwe anyị kwuru, Ọ bụ nʼihi na Chineke anọghị nʼIzrel ka i ji zipụ ndị mmadụ ka ha gaa jụta ase site nʼaka Baal-Zebub, chi ndị Ekrọn? Nʼihi nke a, ị gaghị esite nʼihe ndina gị bilie. Ya doo gị anya na ị ghaghị ịnwụ!”’”
7 And he says to them, “What [is] the fashion of the man who has come up to meet you, and speaks these words to you?”
Eze jụrụ ha sị, “Onye bụ nwoke a zutere unu nʼụzọ gwa unu okwu ndị a? Olee ụdị mmadụ ọ bụ?”
8 And they say to him, “A hairy man, and a girdle of skin girt around his loins”; and he says, “He [is] Elijah the Tishbite.”
Ha zaghachiri ya, “Ọ bụ nwoke yi uwe e ji ajị anụ kpaa; o kere ihe okike akpụkpọ anụ nʼukwu ya.” Eze sịrị, “Ọ bụ Ịlaịja, onye amụma si Tishbe!”
9 And he sends to him a head of fifty and his fifty, and he goes up to him (and behold, he is sitting on the top of the hill), and he speaks to him, “O man of God, the king has spoken, Come down.”
Mgbe ahụ, eze zigara otu onyeisi agha ya, na iri ndị agha ise ka ha gaa jide Ịlaịja. Mgbe ndị agha ahụ bịarutere hụ Ịlaịja ka ọ nọ ala nʼelu ugwu, onyeisi agha ahụ kpọrọ Ịlaịja sị ya, “Onye nke Chineke, eze sị gị, ‘rituo!’”
10 And Elijah answers and speaks to the head of the fifty, “And if I [am] a man of God, fire comes down from the heavens and consumes you and your fifty”; and fire comes down from the heavens and consumes him and his fifty.
Ịlaịja zara sị ha, “Ọ bụrụ na m bụ onye nke Chineke dịka i kwuru, ka ọkụ si nʼeluigwe daa rechapụ gị na iri ndị a agha ise so gị.” Otu mgbe ahụ, ọkụ sitere nʼeluigwe daa rechapụ iri ndị agha ise ahụ na onyeisi ha.
11 And he turns and sends to him another head of fifty and his fifty, and he answers and speaks to him, “O man of God, thus said the king: Hurry, come down.”
Ọzọkwa, eze zigara otu onyeisi agha na iri ndị agha ise ọzọ ka ha gaa jide Ịlaịja. Mgbe ha bịarutere hụ Ịlaịja, onyeisi agha ahụ kpọkuru ya sị ya, “Onye nke Chineke, eze sị gị, ‘rituo, bịa ngwangwa!’”
12 And Elijah answers and speaks to them, “If I [am] a man of God, fire comes down from the heavens and consumes you and your fifty”; and fire of God comes down from the heavens and consumes him and his fifty.
Ịlaịja zara sị ya, “Ọ bụrụ na m bụ onye nke Chineke dịka i kwuru, ka ọkụ si nʼeluigwe daa rechapụ gị na iri ndị agha ise gị na ha so.” Ngwangwa, ọkụ Chineke si nʼeluigwe daa rechapụ ha.
13 And he turns and sends a third head of fifty and his fifty, and the third head of fifty goes up, and comes in, and bows on his knees before Elijah, and makes supplication to him, and speaks to him, “O man of God, please let my soul and the soul of your servants—these fifty—be precious in your eyes.
Ọzọkwa, eze zigara otu onyeisi agha na iri ndị agha ise ọzọ ka ha gaa jide Ịlaịja. Mgbe ndị agha a bịara hụ Ịlaịja, onyeisi agha ahụ rigoro nʼelu ugwu gbuo ikpere nʼala nʼihu Ịlaịja rịọọ ya amara sị ya, “Onye nke Chineke, biko, meere ohu gị na iri ndị agha ise mụ na ha so ebere.
14 Behold, fire has come down from the heavens and consumes the two heads of the former fifties and their fifties; and now, let my soul be precious in your eyes.”
Lee, ọkụ esitela nʼeluigwe rechapụ ndịisi agha abụọ ahụ buru ụzọ, ha na ndị agha ha. Ugbu a, biko, arịọ m gị, chebe ndụ anyị.”
15 And a messenger of YHWH speaks to Elijah, “Go down with him, do not be afraid of him”; and he rises and goes down with him to the king,
Mgbe ahụ, mmụọ ozi Onyenwe anyị gwara Ịlaịja okwu sị ya, “Atụla egwu! Soro ya gaa!” Ya mere, Ịlaịja sooro onyeisi agha ahụ gaa nʼihu eze.
16 and speaks to him, “Thus said YHWH: Because that you have sent messengers to inquire of Ba‘al-Zebub god of Ekron—is it because there is not a God in Israel to inquire of His word? Therefore, the bed to where you have gone up—you do not come down from it, for you certainly die.”
Mgbe Ịlaịja ruru nʼihu eze, ọ gwara eze okwu sị ya, “Ihe ndị a ka Onyenwe anyị kwuru, ọ bụ nʼihi na Chineke anọghị nʼIzrel ka i ji zipụ ndị ozi ka ha gaa jụta ase site nʼaka Baal-Zebub, chi ndị Ekrọn? Ebe ọ bụ na i mere ihe dị otu a, ị gaghị esite nʼihe ndina gị bilie. Ị ga-anwụrịrị!”
17 And he dies, according to the word of YHWH that Elijah spoke, and Jehoram reigns in his stead, in the second year of Jehoram son of Jehoshaphat king of Judah, for he had no son.
Ọ nwụrụ dịka okwu Onyenwe anyị nke Ịlaịja kwuru si dị. Nʼihi na Ahazaya enweghị nwa nwoke ọbụla, Jehoram nọchiri anya ya dịka eze, nʼafọ nke abụọ nke ịbụ eze Jehoram nwa Jehoshafat, bụ eze Juda.
18 And the rest of the matters of Ahaziah that he did, are they not written on the scroll of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel?
Akụkọ banyere ịbụ eze nke Ahazaya, na ihe niile o mere, e deghị ha nʼakwụkwọ akụkọ ndị eze Izrel?
