2 Kings 13
1 In the twenty-third year of Joash son of Ahaziah king of Judah, Jehoahaz son of Jehu began to reign over Israel in Samaria; he reigned seventeen years.
Nʼafọ nke iri abụọ na atọ nke ọchịchị eze Joash nwa Ahazaya na Juda, ka Jehoahaz nwa Jehu malitere ịbụ eze nʼIzrel nʼobodo Sameria. Ọ chịkwara na Sameria afọ iri na asaa.
2 He did what was evil in the sight of Yahweh and followed the sins of Jeroboam son of Nebat, who caused Israel to sin; and Jehoahaz did not turn away from them.
Kama Jehoahaz bụ eze ọjọọ. O mere ihe jọrọ njọ nʼanya Onyenwe anyị. O soro ụzọ ọjọọ niile nke Jeroboam nwa Nebat, onye dubara ndị Izrel na mmehie.
3 The anger of Yahweh burned against Israel, and he gave them continually into the hand of Hazael king of Aram and into the hand of Ben Hadad son of Hazael.
Nʼihi nke a, iwe were Onyenwe anyị nke ukwuu megide Izrel. O mere ka ha nọrọ nʼokpuru ọchịchị Hazael eze Aram na Ben-Hadad nwa ya ogologo oge.
4 So Jehoahaz implored Yahweh, and Yahweh listened to him because he saw the oppression of Israel, how the king of Aram was oppressing them.
Ma Jehoahaz kpere ekpere rịọọ Onyenwe anyị nʼoge a ka o nyere ya aka, Onyenwe anyị gere ya ntị, nʼihi na Chineke hụrụ mmegbu nke eze Aram na-emegbu ndị Izrel.
5 So Yahweh gave Israel a rescuer, and they escaped from the hand of the Arameans, and the people of Israel began to live in their homes as they had before.
Onyenwe anyị họpụtaara Izrel onye nzọpụta, ha sitere nʼaka ike ndị Aram nwere onwe ha. Izrel biri nʼụlọ nke aka ha dịka ha biiri nʼoge gara aga.
6 Nevertheless, they did not depart from the sins of the house of Jeroboam, who caused Israel to sin, and they continued in them; and the Asherah pole remained in Samaria.
Ma ha esighị na mmehie niile nke ụlọ Jeroboam wezuga onwe ha, bụ nke o jiri mee ka Izrel mehie, kama ha nọ na-ejegharị nʼime ha. Ọzọkwa, ogidi Ashera ka guzoro na Sameria.
7 The Arameans left Jehoahaz with only fifty horsemen, ten chariots, and ten thousand footmen, for the king of Aram had destroyed them and made them like the chaff at threshing time.
Ọ dịghị ihe fọdụrụ na ndị agha Jehoahaz ma ọ bụghị naanị iri ndị agha ise na-agba ịnyịnya, na ụgbọ agha iri, na puku ndị agha iri. Nʼihi na eze Aram alaala ndị nke fọdụrụ nʼiyi, meekwa ka ha dịrị ka uzuzu mgbe a na-azọcha mkpụrụ.
8 As for the other matters concerning Jehoahaz, and all that he did and his power, are they not written in the book of the events of the kings of Israel?
Akụkọ gbasara ọchịchị Jehoahaz, na ihe niile o mere, na ihe ọ rụpụtara, e deghị ha nʼakwụkwọ akụkọ ihe ndị eze Izrel mere nʼoge ha?
9 So Jehoahaz slept with his ancestors, and they buried him in Samaria. Johoash his son became king in his place.
Jehoahaz sooro ndị nna nna ya ha dina nʼọnwụ, e lie ya na Sameria. Nwa ya Jehoash nọchiri anya ya.
10 In the thirty-seventh year of Joash king of Judah, the reign of Jehoash son of Jehoahaz began over Israel in Samaria; he reigned sixteen years.
Nʼafọ iri atọ na asaa nke ịbụ eze Joash na Juda, ka Jehoash nwa Jehoahaz malitere ị bụ eze Izrel na Sameria. Ọ chịrị afọ iri na isii.
11 He did what was evil in the sight of Yahweh. He did not leave behind any of the sins of Jeroboam son of Nebat, by which he had made Israel to sin, but he walked in them.
O mere ihe jọrọ njọ nʼanya Onyenwe anyị. O siteghị na mmehie Jeroboam nwa Nebat wezuga onwe ya, mmehie nke Jeroboam dubara Izrel ime. Jehoash nọgidere nʼime ha.
12 As for the other matters concerning Jehoash, and all that he did, and his might by which he fought against Amaziah king of Judah, are they not written in the book of the events of the kings of Israel?
Akụkọ gbasara ọchịchị Jehoash, na ihe niile o mere, na ihe ọ rụpụtara, tinyere agha o buru megide Amazaya eze Juda, e deghị ha nʼakwụkwọ akụkọ ihe ndị eze Izrel mere nʼoge ha?
13 Jehoash slept with his ancestors, and Jeroboam sat on his throne. Jehoash was buried in Samaria with the kings of Israel.
Jehoash soro nna nna ya ha dina nʼọnwụ, Jeroboam anọchie nʼocheeze ya. E liri Jehoash na Sameria, nʼebe e liri ndị eze Izrel ndị ibe ya.
14 Now Elisha became sick with an illness by which he later died, so Jehoash the king of Israel came down to him and wept over him. He said, “My father, my father, the chariots of Israel and the horsemen are taking you away!”
Nʼoge a, Ịlaisha nọ nʼọrịa nke ọ ga-esite na ya anwụ. Jehoash, bụ eze Izrel gara ịhụ ya, ọ kwara akwa mgbe ọ hụrụ ya sị, “Nna m, nna m, usuu ụgbọ agha na usuu ndị na-agba ịnyịnya Izrel!”
15 Elisha said to him, “Pick up a bow and some arrows,” so Joash picked up a bow and some arrows.
Ịlaisha gwara ya okwu sị, “Wepụta ụta na àkụ ụfọdụ.” O mere dịka Ịlaisha gwara ya.
16 Elisha said to the king of Israel, “Put your hand on the bow,” so he put his hand on it. Then Elisha laid his hands on the king's hands.
Ịlaisha gwakwara eze Izrel okwu sị ya, “Jide ụta ahụ nʼaka gị abụọ.” Mgbe o jidere ụta ahụ Ịlaisha tụkwasịrị aka nke ya nʼaka eze.
17 Elisha said, “Open the window eastward,” so he opened it. Then Elisha said, “Shoot!”, and he shot. Elisha said, “This is Yahweh's arrow of victory, the arrow of victory over Aram, for you will attack the Arameans in Aphek until you have consumed them.”
Ịlaisha gwara ya sị, “Meghee oghereikuku ahụ chere ihu nʼọwụwa anyanwụ.” O meghere ya. Mgbe ahụ Ịlaisha gwara ya sị, “Gbapụ àkụ.” Eze gbapụrụ àkụ. Ịlaisha kwuru sị, “Àkụ mmeri Onyenwe anyị, àkụ mmeri megide Aram. Ị ga-ebibi ndị Aram kpamkpam nʼAfek.”
18 Then Elisha said, “Take the arrows,” so Joash took them. He said to the king of Israel, “Strike the ground with them,” and he struck the ground three times, then stopped.
Ọ sịrị, “Chilite àkụ ndị ahụ,” ọ chilitere ha. Ịlaisha gwara eze Izrel, “Gbaa ha nʼala.” Ọ gbara ha nʼala ugboro atọ, ma kwụsị.
19 But the man of God was angry with him and said, “You should have hit the ground five or six times. Then you would have attacked Aram until you annihilated it, but now you will attack Aram only three times.”
Ma onye nke Chineke ahụ were iwe sị ya, “Ị gaara apịa ya nʼala ugboro ise maọbụ isii. Mgbe ahụ, ị gaara enwe ike merie ndị Aram bibie ha kpamkpam. Ma ugbu a, ọ bụ naanị ugbo atọ ka ị ga-emeri ha.”
20 Then Elisha died, and they buried him. Now groups of Moabites invaded the land at the beginning of the year.
Ya mere, Ịlaisha nwụrụ. E likwara ya. Nʼoge ahụ, ọtụtụ ndị na-apụnara mmadụ ihe nʼike na-esi nʼala ndị Moab na-abịa nʼala Izrel izu ohi site nʼọnwa nke atọ nʼafọ ọhụrụ ọbụla.
21 As they were burying a certain man, they saw a group of Moabites, so they threw the body into Elisha's grave. As soon as the man touched Elisha's bones, he revived and stood up on his feet.
Otu ụbọchị, mgbe ụfọdụ ndị ikom na-eli otu nwoke nwụrụ anwụ, ha hụrụ ndị a na-apụnara mmadụ ihe nʼike. Nʼihi nke a, ha mere ngwangwa site nʼụjọ tụbanye nwoke ahụ nʼili Ịlaisha. Mgbe ozu nwoke ahụ dara metụ ọkpụkpụ Ịlaisha ahụ, nwoke ahụ nwụrụ anwụ megharịrị ahụ bilie, guzo nʼụkwụ ya abụọ.
22 Hazael king of Aram oppressed Israel all the days of Jehoahaz.
Hazael, eze Aram, busoro Izrel agha ụbọchị niile nke ndụ Jehoahaz eze Izrel.
23 But Yahweh was gracious to Israel, and had compassion on them and concern for them, because of his covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. So Yahweh did not destroy them, and he still has not driven them away from his presence.
Ma Onyenwe anyị meere ha amara, nwee ọmịiko nʼebe ha nọ, ma gosikwa ha na ihe banyere ha na-emetụ ya nʼobi nʼihi ọgbụgba ndụ ya na Ebraham na Aịzik na Jekọb. Ruo taa, o kweghị ka e bibie ha, maọbụ ka e site nʼihu ya chụpụ ha.
24 Hazael king of Aram died, and Ben Hadad his son became king in his place.
Emesịa, Hazael eze Aram nwụrụ, Ben-Hadad nwa ya nọchikwara nʼọnọdụ ya.
25 Jehoash son of Jehoahaz took back from Ben Hadad son of Hazael the cities that had been taken from Jehoahaz his father by war. Jehoash attacked him three times, and he recovered those cities of Israel.
Jehoash nwa Jehoahaz, weghachitere obodo niile nke ọ naara nʼaka nna ya Jehoahaz site nʼaka Ben-Hadad nwa Hazael. Ugboro atọ ka Jehoash meriri ya, site otu a weghachi obodo niile nke Izrel.
