2 Kings 1
1 Then Moab revolted against Israel, after the death of Ahab.
Le Fia Ahab ƒe ku megbe la, Moab dze aglã ɖe Israel ŋu.
2 And Ahaziah fell through the lattice in his upper chamber, which was in Samaria, and became sick, —so he sent messengers, and said unto them—Go enquire of Baalzebub, god of Ekron, whether I shall recover from this sickness.
Azɔ la, Ahazia ge tso eƒe fesre nu le eƒe dziƒoxɔ dzi le Samaria eye nuvevi wɔe eya ta wòdɔ dɔlawo gblɔ na wo be, “Miyi miabia nu le Ekrontɔwo ƒe mawu, Baal Zebub gbɔ nam ne miakpɔe ɖa be mahaya tso dɔléle sia me mahã.”
3 But, the messenger of Yahweh, spake unto Elijah the Tishbite, Rise, go up to meet the messengers of the king of Samaria, —and say unto them—Is it, because there is no God in Israel, that, ye, are going to enquire of Baalzebub, god of Ekron?
Ke mawudɔla aɖe gblɔ na Nyagblɔɖila Eliya, Tisbitɔ la be, “Yi nàdo go ame siwo Samaria fia dɔ eye nàbia wo be, ‘Nyateƒee wònye be Mawu aɖeke mele Israel oa? Eya ta mieyina Baal Zebub, Ekrontɔwo ƒe mawu gbɔ be miabia ne fia la ƒe lãme asẽa?’
4 Wherefore, Thus, saith Yahweh, From the bed whereunto thou hast gone up, shalt thou not come down, for thou shalt, surely die. And Elijah departed.
Azɔ nu si Yehowa gblɔe nye esi. ‘Màfɔ le aba si dzi nèmlɔ la dzi o; àku godoo!’” Ale Eliya yi.
5 And, when the messengers returned unto him, he said unto them—How is it that ye have returned?
Esi ame dɔdɔawo trɔ va fia la gbɔ la, fia la bia wo be, “Nu ka ta mietrɔ gbɔ?”
6 And they said unto him—A man, came up to meet us, and said unto us—Go, return unto the king who sent you, and ye shall say unto him, Thus, saith Yahweh—Is it, because there is no God in Israel, that, thou, art sending to enquire of Baalzebub, god of Ekron? Therefore, from the bed whereunto thou hast gone up, shalt thou not come down, for thou shalt, surely die.
Woɖo eŋu be, “Ŋutsu aɖe va tu mí eye wògblɔ na mí be, ‘Mitrɔ yi fia si dɔ mi la gbɔ eye miagblɔ nɛ be, “Nu si Yehowa gblɔe nye: Ɖe Mawu aɖeke mele Israel o tae nèle amewo dɔm be woaɖabia gbe Baal Zebub, Ekrontɔwo ƒe mawua? Eya ta màfɔ le aba si dzi nèmlɔ la dzi o. Àku godoo!”’”
7 And he said unto them, What was the manner of the man who came up to meet you, —and spake unto you these words?
Fia la bia be, “Ame kae nye ŋutsu sia? Aleke eƒe dzedzeme le?”
8 And they said unto him—A hairy man, with a leathern girdle girt about his loins. And he said—Elijah the Tishbite, it was.
Woɖo eŋu nɛ be, “Enye ŋutsu aɖe si ŋu fu le kpedzee, ebla ali dzi kple alidziblaka keke aɖe si wowɔ kple lãgbalẽ.” Tete fia la do ɣli be, “Eliya, Tisbitɔ lae!”
9 Then sent he unto him a captain of fifty, with his fifty, and he went up unto him, and lo! he abode on the top of the mountain, and he said unto him, O man of God! the king, hath said, Come down!
Eɖo aʋakplɔla ɖeka kple asrafo blaatɔ̃ ɖa be woayi aɖalée vɛ. Wokpɔe wònɔ anyi ɖe togbɛ aɖe dzi. Aʋakplɔla la gblɔ nɛ be, “Oo, Mawu ƒe ame, fia la ɖe gbe be nàzɔ kpli mí ava ye gbɔ.”
10 And Elijah responded and said unto the captain of fifty, If, then, a man of God, I am, let fire come down out of the heavens, and devour thee and thy fifty. So there came down fire out of the heavens, and devoured him and his fifty.
Eliya ɖo eŋu be, “Nenye Mawu ƒe amee menye tututu la, ekema dzo nage tso dziƒo eye wòafia wò kple wò ame blaatɔ̃awo!” Enumake dzo ge tso dziƒo eye wòfia aʋakplɔla la kple ame blaatɔ̃wo katã.
11 Then he again sent unto him another captain of fifty, with his fifty. And he also spake and said unto him, O man of God! thus, saith the king, Haste thee, come down!
Ale fia la gaɖo aʋakplɔla bubu aɖe kple asrafo blaatɔ̃ bubu ɖa be woagblɔ nɛ be, “Oo, Mawu ƒe ame, fia la be nàva ye gbɔ fifi laa!”
12 And Elijah responded and said unto them—If, a man of God, I am, let fire come down out of the heavens, and devour thee and thy fifty. And there came down a fire of God, out of the heavens, and devoured him and his fifty.
Eliya gblɔ na wo be, “Nenye Mawu ƒe amee menye tututu la, ekema dzo nage tso dziƒo eye wòafia wò kple wò ame blaatɔ̃awo!” Ale Mawu ƒe dzo ge tso dziƒo eye wòfia woawo hã.
13 Then he again sent a third captain of fifty, with his fifty, —and the third captain of fifty ascended and came near, and bowed down upon his knees before Elijah, and made supplication unto him, and said unto him, O man of God! let my life, I pray thee, and the lives of these thy fifty servants, be precious in thine eyes.
Fia la gaɖo aʋakplɔla kple ame blaatɔ̃ bubu ɖa. Azɔ ya la, aʋakplɔla la dze klo ɖe Eliya ƒe akɔme eye wòɖe kuku nɛ be, “Oo, Mawu ƒe ame, meɖe kuku, na nye kple wò dɔla blaatɔ̃ siawo míatsi agbe.
14 Lo! there hath come down fire out of the heavens, and devoured the captains of the former fifties, with their fifties, —now, therefore, let my life be precious in thine eyes.
Kpɔ ɖa, dzo ge tso dziƒo hefia aʋakplɔla gbãtɔ eveawo kple woƒe amewo. Ke azɔ la, na nye agbe naxɔ asi le gbɔwò!”
15 And the messenger of Yahweh said unto Elijah, Go down with him, do not fear because of him, So he arose, and went down with him, unto the king;
Yehowa ƒe dɔla aɖe gblɔ na Eliya be, “Mègavɔ̃ o, Yi kpli wo.” Ale Eliya yi fia la gbɔ.
16 and said unto him—Thus, saith Yahweh—For that thou didst send messengers to enquire of Baalzebub, god of Ekron, was it because there was no God in Israel, for whose word thou couldst enquire? Therefore, from the bed whereunto thou hast gone up, shalt thou not come down, for thou shalt, surely die.
Eliya gblɔ na fia la be, “Ale Yehowa gblɔe nye esi. Esi Mawu aɖeke mele Israel be nàbia gbee o tae nèɖo amewo ɖa be woaɖabia gbe Baal Zebub, Ekrontɔwo ƒe mawu la? Esi nèwɔ esia ta la, màfɔ le aba si dzi nèmlɔ la dzi akpɔ gbeɖe o; àku godoo!”
17 And he died, according to the word of Yahweh which, Elijah, had spoken, and Jehoram reigned in his stead, in the second year of Jehoram son of Jehoshaphat king of Judah, —because he had no son.
Ale Ahazia ku abe ale si Yehowa gblɔe da ɖi to Eliya dzi la ene eye nɔvia Yehoram zu fia ɖe eteƒe elabena viŋutsu aɖeke menɔ esi aɖu fia ɖe eyome o. Nya sia dzɔ le Yuda fia Yehoram, Yehosafat ƒe vi ƒe fiaɖuɖu ƒe ƒe evelia me.
18 Now, the rest of the story of Ahaziah, the things that he did, are, they, not written in the book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel?
Woŋlɔ nu bubuwo tso Ahazia ƒe fiaɖuɖu ŋu ɖe Israel fiawo ƒe ŋutinyagbalẽ me.
