2 Kings 3
1 And Jehoram [the] son of Ahab he became king over Israel in Samaria in year eight-teen of Jehoshaphat [the] king of Judah and he reigned two [plus] ten year[s].
Ahab ƒe vi, Yehoram, dze eƒe fiaɖuɖu le Israel gɔme le Yuda fia Yehosafat ƒe fiaɖuɖu ƒe ƒe wuienyilia me. Eɖu fia ƒe wuieve le Samaria.
2 And he did the evil in [the] eyes of Yahweh only not like father his and like mother his and he removed [the] sacred pillar of Baal which he had made father his.
Ewɔ nu si nye vɔ̃ le Yehowa ŋkume ke menye abe fofoa kple dadaa ene o, elabena ewɔ nu nyui ɖeka: emu xɔ si fofoa tu na Baal la ƒu anyi.
3 Only to [the] sins of Jeroboam [the] son of Nebat which he caused to sin Israel he clung not he turned aside from it.
Ke egawɔ nu vɔ̃ si Yeroboam, Nebat ƒe vi wɔ elabena eya hã kplɔ Israelviwo de legbawo subɔsubɔ me.
4 And Mesha [the] king of Moab he was a sheep-breeder and he returned to [the] king of Israel one hundred thousand lambs and one hundred thousand rams wool.
Moab fia, Mesa kple eƒe amewo nye alẽnyilawo. Woxea adzɔ na Israel kple alẽ akpe alafa ɖeka kple agbo akpe alafa ɖeka ƒe fu ƒe sia ƒe.
5 And it was when died Ahab and he rebelled [the] king of Moab against [the] king of Israel.
Ke le Ahab ƒe ku megbe la, Moab fia dze aglã ɖe Israel ŋu.
6 And he went out the king Jehoram on the day that from Samaria and he mustered all Israel.
Ale Fia Yehoram dzo le Samaria yi ɖaƒo Israelʋakɔ nu ƒu.
7 And he went and he sent to Jehoshaphat [the] king of Judah saying [the] king of Moab he has rebelled against me ¿ will you go with me against Moab for battle and he said I will go up as me as you as people my as people your as horses my as horses your.
Eɖo du ɖe Yuda fia Yehosafat be, “Moab fia dze aglã ɖe ŋunye; àte ŋu akpe ɖe ŋunye mawɔ aʋa kpliia?” Yehosafat ɖo eŋu be, “Makpe ɖe ŋuwò. Nye amewo kple nye sɔwo le asiwò me.”
8 And he said where? this [is] the way [which] we will go up and he said [the] way of [the] wilderness of Edom.
“Mɔ ka míato hafi adze wo dzi?” Yehoram ɖo eŋu be, “Míadze wo dzi tso Edom gbegbe.”
9 And he went [the] king of Israel and [the] king of Judah and [the] king of Edom and they went around a journey of seven days and not it belonged water to the army and to the animal[s] which [was] at feet their.
Ale Israel, Yuda kple Edom fiawo kplɔ woƒe aʋakɔwo to mɔ gɔdɔ̃ aɖe to gbegbe la ŋkeke adre, ke tsi menɔ anyi na ameawo kple woƒe lãwo o.
10 And he said [the] king of Israel alas! for he has summoned Yahweh [the] three the kings these to give them in [the] hand of Moab.
Israel fia do ɣli be, “Oo, nu ka míawɔ? Yehowa kplɔ mí va afi sia be yeana Moab fia naɖu mía dzi!”
11 And he said Jehoshaphat ¿ [is] there not here a prophet of Yahweh and let us consult Yahweh from him and he answered one from [the] servants of [the] king of Israel and he said [is] here Elisha [the] son of Shaphat who he poured water on [the] hands of Elijah.
Ke Yuda fia, Yehosafat biae be, “Yehowa ƒe nyagblɔɖila aɖeke mele mía dome oa? Ne eli la, ekema míate ŋu ana wòagblɔ nu si míawɔ la na mí.” Israel fiaŋumewo dometɔ ɖeka gblɔ be, “Elisa, Safat ƒe viŋutsu le afi sia, Eliya ƒe kpeɖeŋutɔe wònye!”
12 And he said Jehoshaphat there him [is] [the] word of Yahweh and they went down to him [the] king of Israel and Jehoshaphat and [the] king of Edom.
Yehosafat gblɔ be, “Ahã, eyae nye ame si tututu dim míele; Yehowa ƒe nya le esi.” Ale Israel kple Yuda kple Edom ƒe fiawo yi ɖabia gbe Elisa.
13 And he said Elisha to [the] king of Israel what? [is] to me and to you go to [the] prophets of father your and to [the] prophets of mother your and he said to him [the] king of Israel may not [it be so] for he has summoned Yahweh [the] three the kings these to give them in [the] hand of Moab.
Ke Elisa gblɔ na Israel fia Yehoram be, “Nyemedi wò nya aɖeke be mase o; yi fofowò kple dawò ƒe nyagblɔɖilawo gbɔ!” Fia Yehoram ɖo eŋu be, “Ao, elabena Yehowae yɔ mí va afi sia be Moab fia natsrɔ̃ mí!”
14 And he said Elisha [by] [the] life of Yahweh of hosts whom I stand before him for if not [the] face of Jehoshaphat [the] king of Judah I [am] lifting up if I will look to you and if I will see you.
Elisa gblɔ nɛ be, “Meta Yehowa, Dziƒoʋakɔwo ƒe Aƒetɔ, ame si mesubɔna la ƒe agbe be nenye ɖe nyemede bubu Yuda fia Yehosafat ƒe afi sia nɔnɔ ŋu o la, anye ne nyemanye kɔ akpɔ wò gɔ̃ hã o.
15 And now fetch for me a musician and it was when played the musician and it was on him [the] hand of Yahweh.
Ke azɔ la, mikplɔ kasaŋkuƒola aɖe vɛ nam.” Esi kasaŋkuƒola la nɔ kasaŋkua ƒom la, Yehowa ƒe ŋusẽ va Elisa dzi
16 And he said thus he says Yahweh make the wadi this ditches - ditches.
eye wògblɔ be, “Ale Yehowa gblɔe nye esi: ‘Miɖe ʋewo ɖe bali sia me’,
17 For thus - he says Yahweh not you will see wind and not you will see rain and the wadi that it will be filled water and you will drink you and livestock your and animal[s] your.
elabena ale Yehowa gblɔe nye esi: ‘Miakpɔ yaƒoƒo loo alo tsidzadza o, gake tsi ayɔ bali sia me si wò kple wò nyiwo kple wò lãha bubuawo miano.’
18 And it will be trifling this in [the] eyes of Yahweh and he will give Moab in hand your.
Esia nye nu bɔbɔe le Yehowa ŋkume. Atsɔ Moab hã ade asi na wò.
19 And you will strike down every city of fortification and every city of choice and every tree good you will make fall and all [the] springs of water you will stop up and every portion of land good you will spoil with stones.
Miagbã du sesẽ ɖe sia ɖe kple du gã ɖe sia ɖe aƒu anyi. Nenema ke mialã ati nyui ɖe sia ɖe aƒu anyi, miatɔ te tɔsisi ɖe sia ɖe ƒe sisi eye miatsɔ kpewo agblẽ agbledenyigba nyuiwo katã.”
20 And it was in the morning when went up the offering and there! waters [were] coming from [the] direction of Edom and it was filled the land the waters.
Esi ŋu ke, le ŋdivɔsaɣi la, tsie nye ekem le dodom bababa tso Edom lɔƒo! Tsi ɖɔ ɖe anyigba la dzi.
21 And all Moab they had heard that they had come up the kings to fight against them and they were summoned from every [one who] girds on a belt and up-wards and they took their stand at the border.
Azɔ la Moabtɔwo katã se be fiawo va aʋa wɔ ge kple yewo eya ta woyɔ ŋutsu ɖe sia ɖe, ɖekakpuiwo kple ame tsitsiwo siaa, ame sia ame si ate ŋu awɔ aʋa ko eye wova ƒu asaɖa anyi ɖe woƒe liƒo dzi.
22 And they rose early in the morning and the sun it shone on the water and they saw Moab from before the water red like blood.
Esi wofɔ ŋdi kanya la, ɣe nɔ keklẽm ɖe tsia dzi eye hena Moabtɔ siwo nɔ tɔa godo la, wokpɔ tsi la wòbiã dzẽ abe ʋu ene.
23 And they said [is] blood this certainly they have fought one another the kings and they have struck down each neighbor his and therefore to the plunder O Moab.
Tete wogblɔ be, “Ʋue nye ekem! Fia mawo anya wɔ aʋa, wu wo nɔewo. Azɔ la Moab, miva miaɖaha woƒe nuwo!”
24 And they came to [the] camp of Israel and they arose Israel and they struck down Moab and they fled from before them (and they struck down *Q(K)*) it and they struck down Moab.
Ke esi woɖo Israelviwo ƒe asaɖa me la, Israelviwo ƒe aʋawɔlawo lũ ɖe wo dzi eye wode asi Moabtɔwo wuwu me, ale Moabtɔwo si. Israelviwo ge ɖe Moabnyigba dzi eye woyi wo wuwu dzi le afi ma.
25 And the cities they tore down and every portion of land good they threw each stone his and they filled it and every spring of water they stopped up and every tree good they made fall until he left behind stones its in Kir Hareseth and they surrounded [it] the slingers and they struck it.
Wogbã duwo, lɔ kpe kɔ ɖe anyigba nyui ɖe sia ɖe dzi, xe tsidzɔƒewo eye wolã kutsetsetiwo ƒu anyi. Mlɔeba la, Kir Hareset mɔ koe susɔ, ke akafodalawo ɖe to ɖe eya hã eye woxɔe.
26 And he saw [the] king of Moab that it was [too] strong for him the battle and he took him seven hundred man [who] drew a sword to break through to [the] king of Edom and not they were able.
Esi Moab fia kpɔ be woɖu ye dzi la, ekplɔ yidala alafa adre be yewoadze agbagba mamlɛtɔ ayi aɖalé Edom fia. Ke esia hã medze edzi o.
27 And he took son his the firstborn who he will reign in place of him and he offered up him a burnt offering on the wall and it was wrath great towards Israel and they departed from on him and they returned to the land.
