< 2 Kings 13 >
1 In the three and twentieth year of Joash the son of Ahaziah, king of Judah, Jehoahaz the son of Jehu began to reign 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 He did that which was evil in the sight of Jehovah, and followed the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, with which he made Israel to sin; he did not depart from it.
Enye fia vɔ̃ɖi aɖe eye wòto Fia Yeroboam, ame si he Israel de nu vɔ̃ me la ƒe mɔ vɔ̃wo dzi.
3 The anger of Jehovah was kindled against Israel, and he delivered them into the hand of Hazael king of Aram, and into the hand of Benhadad the son of Hazael, continually.
Ale Yehowa do dɔmedzoe ɖe Israel ŋu eye wòɖe mɔ be Siria fia, Hazael kple via Ben Hadad naɖu wo dzi enuenu.
4 Jehoahaz begged Jehovah, and Jehovah listened to him; for he saw the oppression of Israel, how that the king of Aram 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 (Jehovah gave Israel a savior, so that they went out from under the hand of the Arameans; and the children of Israel lived in their tents as 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 Nevertheless they did not depart from the sins of the house of Jeroboam, with which he made Israel to sin; they walked in them. And the Asherah also remained in Samaria.)
Ke wogayi nu vɔ̃ wɔwɔ dzi kokoko, wodze Yeroboam ƒe nu vɔ̃ mɔwo dzi eye wosubɔa aƒeli le Samaria.
7 For he did not leave to Jehoahaz of the people any more than fifty horsemen, and ten chariots, and ten thousand footmen; for the king of Aram destroyed them, and made them like the dust in threshing.
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 Now the rest of the acts of Jehoahaz, and all that he did, and his might, aren't they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
Woŋlɔ Yehoahaz ƒe ŋutinya mamlɛawo, nu siwo katã wòwɔ kple eƒe kalẽwɔwɔwo ɖe Israel fiawo ƒe ŋutinyagbalẽ me.
9 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 Joash king of Judah, Jehoash the son of Jehoahaz began to reign 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 He did that which was evil in the sight of Jehovah; he did not depart from all the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, with which he made Israel to sin; but he walked in it.
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 Now the rest of the acts of Joash, and all that he did, and his might with which he fought against Amaziah king of Judah, aren't they written in the book of the chronicles 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 Joash slept with his fathers; and Jeroboam sat on 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 fallen sick of his sickness of which he died: and Joash the king of Israel came down to him, and wept over him, and said, "My father, my father, the chariots of Israel and its horsemen."
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 Elisha said to him, "Take bow and arrows"; and he took to him bow and arrows.
Elisa gblɔ be, “Yi nàdi da kple dati aɖewo vɛ.” Yehoas yi eye wòdi wo vɛ.
16 He said to the king of Israel, "Put your hand on the bow"; and he put his hand on it. Elisha laid his hands on the king's hands.
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 He said, "Open the window eastward"; and he opened it. Then Elisha said, "Shoot." and he shot. He said, "Jehovah's arrow of victory, even the arrow of victory over Aram; for you shall strike the Arameans in Aphek, until you have consumed 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 He said, "Take the arrows"; and he took them. He said to the king of Israel, "Strike the ground"; and he struck three times, and stopped.
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 was angry with him, and said, "You should have struck five or six times. Then you would have struck Aram until you had consumed it, whereas now you shall strike Aram just 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 Elisha died, and they buried him. Now the bands of the Moabites invaded the land at the coming in of the 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 It happened, as they were burying a man, that look, they spied a band; and they cast the man into the tomb of Elisha: and as soon as the man touched the bones of Elisha, he revived, and stood up on 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 Hazael king of Aram oppressed Israel all the days of Jehoahaz.
Siria fia Hazael te Israel ɖe to, le Fia Yehoas ƒe fiaɖuɣi blibo la me.
23 But Jehovah was gracious to them, and had compassion on them, and had respect to them, because of his covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and would not destroy them, neither cast he them from his presence as yet.
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 Hazael king of Aram died; and Benhadad his son reigned in his place.
Siria fia Hazael ku eye via Ben Hadad ɖu fia ɖe eteƒe.
25 Jehoash the son of Jehoahaz took again out of the hand of Benhadad the son of Hazael the cities which he had taken out of the hand of Jehoahaz his father by war. Joash struck him three times, and recovered the cities of 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.
