2 Kings 13
1 After Joash had been ruling Judah for almost 23 years, Jehu’s son Jehoahaz became the king of Israel. He ruled in Samaria [city] for 17 years.
In yac aklongoul tolu ma Joash wen natul Ahaziah el tokosra lun Judah, Jehoahaz wen natul Jehu el tokosrala lun Israel, ac el leum in Samaria ke yac singoul itkosr.
2 He did many things that Yahweh considered to be evil and committed the same kind of sins that Jeroboam had committed, sins which led the people of Israel to sin. He did not stop committing those sins.
El oana Jeroboam su tokosra meet lukel, in oru ma koluk lain LEUM GOD, ac kolla mwet Israel in oru ma koluk, ac el tiana fuhleak ouiya koluk lal inge.
3 So Yahweh became very angry with the Israeli people, and he allowed the army of King Hazael of Syria and his son Ben-Hadad to defeat the Israelis many times.
Ouinge LEUM GOD El kasrkusrak sin mwet Israel, ac El lela Tokosra Hazael lun Syria ac Benhadad, wen natul, in kutangla Israel pacl na pus.
4 Then Jehoahaz prayed to Yahweh [for help], and Yahweh heeded him, because he saw that the army of the king of Syria was oppressing the Israelis.
Na Jehoahaz el pre nu sin LEUM GOD, ac ke LEUM GOD El liye lah tokosra lun Syria el arulana akkeokye mwet Israel, na El topuk pre lal.
5 Yahweh sent a leader to Israel, who enabled them to be freed from being controlled by Syria. After that, the Israeli people lived peacefully as they had done previously.
LEUM GOD El supwala sie mwet kol nu sin mwet Israel in aksukosokyalosla liki mwet Syria. Ouinge mwet Israel muta in misla oana meet.
6 But they still continued to commit the same kind of sins that Jeroboam and his family had committed and which led the Israelis to [also] sin. And the statue of the goddess Asherah remained in Samaria.
Tusruktu elos tiana fuhleak luman ma koluk su Tokosra Jeroboam el tuh kololosla in oru, a elos srakna oru ma koluk inge, ac ma sruloala ke god mutan Asherah srakna oan in Samaria.
7 Jehoahaz had only 50 men who rode on horses and ten chariots and 10,000 other soldiers, because the army of Syria had killed all the rest, trampling them like people walk on dirt.
Wangin un mwet mweun lula lal Jehoahaz sayen mwet kasrusr fin horse lumngaul, chariot singoul, ac singoul tausin mwet mweun ma fahsrna, mweyen tokosra Syria el kunausla inkaiyalos, ac longolosi oana kutkut uh.
8 [If you want to read about] [RHQ] everything else that Jehoahaz did, you can read about it in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Israel’.
Ma nukewa saya ma Jehoahaz el orala, ac orekma pulaik lal, simla oasr in [Sramsram Matu Ke Tokosra Lun Israel].
9 Jehoahaz died [EUP] and was buried in Samaria. Then his son Jehoash became the king.
El misa ac pukpuki Samaria, ac Jehoash wen natul, el aolul in tokosra.
10 Jehoash, the son of Jehoahaz, started to rule in Israel after King Joash had been ruling in Judah for 23 years. Jehoash ruled in Samaria for 17 years.
In yac aktolngoul itkosr ke pacl in leum lal Tokosra Joash in Judah, Jehoash wen natul Jehoahaz el tokosrala lun Israel, ac el leum in Samaria ke yac singoul onkosr.
11 He did many things that Yahweh considered to be evil. He refused to turn away from worshiping idols, which was the sin that [many years earlier King] Jeroboam had told the Israeli people to commit.
El oayapa oru ma koluk lain LEUM GOD ac fahsr tukun srikasrak koluk lal Tokosra Jeroboam su kolla mwet Israel nu ke ma koluk.
12 The other things that happened while Jehoash was king and all the things that he did are written in the book called ‘The Account of What the Kings of Israel Did’. In that account they wrote about Jehoash’s [army’s] victories, and their war with [the army of] King Amaziah of Judah.
Ma nukewa saya ma Jehoash el orala, weang pulaik lal ke el mweun lainul Tokosra Amaziah lun Judah, simla oasr in [Sramsram Matu Ke Tokosra Lun Israel].
13 When Jehoash died, he was buried in Samaria where the [other] kings of Israel were buried. Then his son Jeroboam became king.
Jehoash el misa ac pukpuki inkulyuk lun tokosra in Samaria, ac Jeroboam Akluo, wen natul, el aolul in tokosra.
14 Elisha became very ill. Just before he died, King Jehoash went to Elisha and cried in front of him. [Saying the same words that Elisha had said when Elijah was taken to heaven], he said, “My father/master! My father/master! The chariots of us Israeli people and their drivers [are taking my master away]!”
Mwet palu Elisha el mas ke sie mas keok ma el ac tia kwela kac, ac ke el apkuran in misa Tokosra Jehoash lun Israel el som in yorol. El tung ac fahk, “Papa, Papa! Kom pa mwet se ma ku oemeet in loangela Israel!”
15 Elisha said to him, “Bring to me a bow and some arrows!” So the king did that.
Elisha el sapkin nu sel, “Use sie mwe pisr an ac kutu osra in pisr nu kac.” Jehoash el use ma inge,
16 Then Elisha told the king to put his hands on the bow [and prepare to shoot some arrows]. And then Elisha put his own hands on the king’s hands.
na Elisha el fahk nu sel elan akola in pisrik. Ac tokosra el oru oana ma fwack nu sel, na Elisha el filiya paol fin paol tokosra.
17 Then Elisha told him, “[Have someone] open that window toward the east.” So they opened it. Then Elisha said, “Shoot!” So the king did. Then Elisha said, “That is the arrow that [indicates that your army] will defeat the Syrian army. Your army will completely defeat their [army] at Aphek [town].”
Na tokosra el ikasla winto se ma oan nget nu Syria, oana ma mwet palu sac fahk nu sel. Elisha el sap, “Pusrukla pisr an!” In pacl se na ma tokosra el pusrukla osra in pisr soko ah, na mwet palu sac fahk, “Kom pa osra in pisr soko nutin LEUM GOD su El ac fah sang in kutangla Syria. Kom ac fah mweuni mwet Syria in acn Aphek nwe ke kom kutangulosla.”
18 Then Elisha said, “Pick up the other arrows and strike the ground with them!” So the king picked up the arrows and struck the ground three times.
Na Elisha el fahk nu sel tokosra elan eis osra in pisr lula ac sang sringilya infohk ah, ac tokosra el sringilya infohk ah pacl tolu, na el tui.
19 But Elisha was angry with him. He exclaimed, “You should have struck the ground five or six times! If you had done that, your army would have defeated the Syrian [army] until they were completely wiped out! But now, [because you struck the ground only three times, ] your army will defeat them only three times!”
Ma se inge oru Elisha el kasrkusrak ac fahk nu sel tokosra, “Kom ku tia sringilya pacl limekosr ku onkosr, kom lukun kutangla na pwaye acn Syria, a inge kom ac kutangla pacl tolu na.”
20 Then Elisha died and was buried. Groups of raiders from Moab came to Israel each year during (spring/the time when the cold season was ending).
Elisha el misa ac pukpuki. Meet liki infulwen yac nukewa, un mwet Moab ac utyak in orek lokoalok in acn Israel.
21 One year, when some Israeli people were burying a man’s body, they saw a group of those raiders. [They were afraid, ] so quickly they threw that man’s body into the tomb where Elisha [had been buried, and they ran away]. But as soon as the man’s body touched Elisha’s bones, the dead man became alive again and jumped up!
Sie pacl ah, pukmas se orek na liyeyukyak sie un mwet lokoalok inge. Mwet ah sisla mwet se ma misa ah nu in luf kial Elisha ac kaingla. Pacl se na mano sac pusralla sri kacl Elisha ah, na mwet sac moulyak ac tuyak.
22 King Hazael of Syria [sent soldiers to] oppress the Israeli people all during the years that Jehoahaz [ruled Judah].
Tokosra Hazael lun Syria el akkeokye mwet Israel in pacl in leum lal Jehoahaz nufon,
23 But Yahweh was very kind [DOU] to the Israeli people. He helped them because of the agreement that he had made with [their ancestors] Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. He did not get rid of the Israelis, and he still has not rejected them.
tusruktu LEUM GOD El kulang ac pakoten nu selos. El tia lela in kunausyukla elos, a El kasrelos ke sripen wuleang lal nu sel Abraham, Isaac, ac Jacob. El tiana mulkunla mwet lal.
24 When Hazael the king of Syria died, his son Ben-Hadad became the king.
Ke Tokosra Hazael lun Syria el misa, na Benhadad wen natul, el tokosrala.
25 [The army of] King Jehoash of Israel defeated [the army of] King Ben-Hadad three times, and recaptured the cities that Ben-Hadad’s army had captured during the time that Jehoash’s father Jehoahaz was ruling Israel.
Na Tokosra Jehoash lun Israel el kutangulla Benhadad pacl tolu, ac sifilpa folokonma siti nukewa ma Benhadad el tuh sruokya ke pacl in leum lal Jehoahaz, papa tumal Jehoash.
