2 Kings 15
1 In the twenty-seventh year of Jeroboam king of Israel, Azariah son of Amaziah king of Judah began to reign.
Nʼafọ nke iri abụọ na asaa nke ọchịchị Jeroboam nʼIzrel ka Azaraya nwa Amazaya bidoro ịchị dịka eze na Juda.
2 He was sixteen years old when he began to reign, and he reigned fifty-two years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Jecoliah of Jerusalem.
Ọ gbara afọ iri na isii mgbe ọ malitere ị bụ eze. Ọ chịkwara na Jerusalem iri afọ ise na abụọ. Aha nne ya bụ Jekolaya, onye Jerusalem.
3 He did that which was right in the LORD’s eyes, according to all that his father Amaziah had done.
O soro nzọ ụkwụ nna ya bụ Amazaya, mee ihe ziri ezi nʼanya Onyenwe anyị.
4 However, the high places were not taken away. The people still sacrificed and burnt incense in the high places.
Kama dịka eze ndị ọzọ, o wezugaghị ebe ịchụ aja dị nʼelu ugwu; ndị mmadụ gara nʼihu na-achụ aja nsure ọkụ na aja na-esi isi ụtọ nʼebe ahụ.
5 The LORD struck the king, so that he was a leper to the day of his death, and lived in a separate house. Jotham, the king’s son, was over the household, judging the people of the land.
Onyenwe anyị tiri eze ihe otiti ọrịa ekpenta ruo ụbọchị ọnwụ ya. O biri nʼụlọ ewupụrụ iche. Jotam nwa nwoke eze ghọrọ onye nlekọta ụlọeze na-achịkwa ndị ala ahụ.
6 Now the rest of the acts of Azariah, and all that he did, aren’t they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
Ma banyere ihe ndị ọzọ niile mere nʼoge ọchịchị Azaraya, na ihe niile o mere, ọ bụ na e deghị ha nʼakwụkwọ akụkọ ihe mere nʼoge ndị eze Juda?
7 Azariah slept with his fathers; and they buried him with his fathers in David’s city; and Jotham his son reigned in his place.
Azaraya soro ndị nna nna ya dina nʼọnwụ, e lie ya nso nʼebe e liri ha, nʼime obodo Devid. Jotam nwa ya ghọrọ eze nʼọnọdụ ya.
8 In the thirty-eighth year of Azariah king of Judah, Zechariah the son of Jeroboam reigned over Israel in Samaria six months.
Nʼafọ nke iri atọ na asatọ nke ọchịchị eze Azaraya bụ eze Juda, ka Zekaraya, nwa Jeroboam ghọrọ eze Izrel na Sameria. Ọ chịrị ọnwa isii.
9 He did that which was evil in the LORD’s sight, as his fathers had done. He didn’t depart from the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, with which he made Israel to sin.
Dịka ndị nna ya bu ya ụzọ si mee, Zekaraya mere ihe jọrọ njọ nʼanya Onyenwe anyị. O mekwara dịka Jeroboam nwa Nebat, onye dubara ndị Izrel na mmehie ịkpọ isiala nye chi ọzọ.
10 Shallum the son of Jabesh conspired against him, and struck him before the people and killed him, and reigned in his place.
Shalum nwa Jebesh, na ndị ọzọ, gbara izu ọjọọ megide ya, tigbuo ya nʼihu ndị Izrel niile. Ọ ghọkwara eze mgbe Zekaraya nwụrụ.
11 Now the rest of the acts of Zechariah, behold, they are written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel.
Akụkọ metụtara ihe ndị ọzọ mere mgbe Zekaraya bụ eze, e deghị ha nʼakwụkwọ akụkọ ihe ndị eze Izrel mere nʼụbọchị ndụ ha.
12 This was the LORD’s word which he spoke to Jehu, saying, “Your sons to the fourth generation shall sit on the throne of Israel.” So it came to pass.
Ya mere, okwu ahụ Onyenwe anyị gwara Jehu mezuru, nke bụ: “Ụmụ ụmụ gị ga-anọkwasị nʼocheeze Izrel ruo nʼọgbọ nke anọ ha.”
13 Shallum the son of Jabesh began to reign in the thirty-ninth year of Uzziah king of Judah, and he reigned for a month in Samaria.
Shalum nwa Jebesh malitere ịbụ eze nʼafọ nke iri atọ na itoolu nke ọchịchị Uzaya eze Juda. Ọ chịrị otu ọnwa na Sameria.
14 Menahem the son of Gadi went up from Tirzah, came to Samaria, struck Shallum the son of Jabesh in Samaria, killed him, and reigned in his place.
Menahem nwa Gadi sitere nʼobodo Tịaza bịaruo Sameria gbuo Shalum nwa Jebesh ghọọ eze nʼọnọdụ ya.
15 Now the rest of the acts of Shallum, and his conspiracy which he made, behold, they are written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel.
Akụkọ ndị ọzọ gbasara Shalum na izu ọjọọ ya, e deghị ha nʼakwụkwọ ihe mere nʼoge ndị eze Izrel na-achị.
16 Then Menahem attacked Tiphsah and all who were in it and its border areas, from Tirzah. He attacked it because they didn’t open their gates to him, and he ripped up all their women who were with child.
Nʼoge ahụ, Menahem sitere na Tịaza buso obodo Tipsa agha, na onye ọbụla bi nʼobodo ahụ na gburugburu ya nʼihi na ha ekweghị emeghe ọnụ ụzọ ama ha. O tigburu Tifsa kwakọrọ ihe niile, bọwakwaa afọ ndị inyom niile dị ime.
17 In the thirty ninth year of Azariah king of Judah, Menahem the son of Gadi began to reign over Israel for ten years in Samaria.
Nʼafọ iri atọ na itoolu nke Azaraya, eze Juda, Menahem nwa Gadi ghọrọ eze ọhụrụ ndị Izrel. Ọ chịrị afọ iri dịka eze na Sameria.
18 He did that which was evil in the LORD’s sight. He didn’t depart all his days from the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, with which he made Israel to sin.
O mere ihe jọrọ njọ nʼanya Onyenwe anyị. Nʼoge ọchịchị ya, o sighị na mmehie Jeroboam nwa Nebat wezuga onwe ya, bụ nke o mere ka Izrel mehie.
19 Pul the king of Assyria came against the land, and Menahem gave Pul one thousand talents of silver, that his hand might be with him to confirm the kingdom in his hand.
Mgbe ahụ, Pul eze Asịrịa busoro ala ahụ agha. Menahem nyere ya otu puku talenti ọlaọcha, ime ka Pul kwagide ọchịchị ya, na ime ka aka ya siekwa ike nʼalaeze Izrel.
20 Menahem exacted the money from Israel, even from all the mighty men of wealth, from each man fifty shekels of silver, to give to the king of Assyria. So the king of Assyria turned back, and didn’t stay there in the land.
Menahem si nʼaka ndị Izrel nweta ego a. Onye ọgaranya ọbụla tụrụ iri shekel ọlaọcha ise nke e nyere eze Asịrịa. Mgbe eze Asịrịa natachara ọlaọcha ndị a, o si nʼala ahụ pụọ, ọ nọgidekwaghị nʼala ahụ.
21 Now the rest of the acts of Menahem, and all that he did, aren’t they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
Akụkọ banyere Menahem na ihe niile o mere, e deghị ha nʼakwụkwọ akụkọ ihe ndị eze Izrel mere nʼụbọchị ndụ ha?
22 Menahem slept with his fathers, and Pekahiah his son reigned in his place.
Menahem sooro ndị nna nna ya ha dina nʼọnwụ, Pekahaya nwa ya ghọrọ eze nʼọnọdụ ya.
23 In the fiftieth year of Azariah king of Judah, Pekahiah the son of Menahem began to reign over Israel in Samaria for two years.
Nʼafọ nke iri ise, nke ọchịchị eze Azaraya na Juda, ka Pekahaya nwa Menahem bidoro ịchị dịka eze nʼIzrel. Afọ abụọ ka ọ chịrị nʼime Sameria.
24 He did that which was evil in the LORD’s sight. He didn’t depart from the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, with which he made Israel to sin.
Ma Pekahaya mere ihe ọjọọ nʼanya Onyenwe anyị. O sighị na mmehie niile nke Jeroboam nwa Nebat wezuga onwe ya, bụ nke o jiri mee ka Izrel mehie.
25 Pekah the son of Remaliah, his captain, conspired against him and attacked him in Samaria, in the fortress of the king’s house, with Argob and Arieh; and with him were fifty men of the Gileadites. He killed him, and reigned in his place.
Ma Peka nwa Remalaya, otu nʼime ndịisi agha eze na iri ndị ikom ise ọzọ si Gilead gbara izu megide ya, gbuo ya nʼụlọeze dị nʼime Sameria. Ha gbukwara Agob na Arie nʼoge a ha gburu Pekahaya. Emesịa, Peka ghọrọ eze nʼọnọdụ ya.
26 Now the rest of the acts of Pekahiah, and all that he did, behold, they are written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel.
Akụkọ banyere Pekahaya na ihe niile o mere ka e dere nʼakwụkwọ akụkọ ihe ndị eze Izrel mere nʼụbọchị ndụ ha.
27 In the fifty-second year of Azariah king of Judah, Pekah the son of Remaliah began to reign over Israel in Samaria for twenty years.
Nʼafọ nke iri ise na abụọ nke ọchịchị Azaraya eze Juda ka Peka nwa Remalaya ghọrọ eze Izrel nʼobodo Sameria. Ọ chịrị dịka eze iri afọ abụọ.
28 He did that which was evil in the LORD’s sight. He didn’t depart from the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, with which he made Israel to sin.
O mere ihe jọrọ njọ nʼanya Onyenwe anyị. O fere chi ọzọ ofufe, o sighị na mmehie Jeroboam nwa Nebat wezuga onwe ya, bụ mmehie nke o dubara ndị Izrel nʼime ya.
29 In the days of Pekah king of Israel, Tiglath Pileser king of Assyria came and took Ijon, Abel Beth Maacah, Janoah, Kedesh, Hazor, Gilead, and Galilee, all the land of Naphtali; and he carried them captive to Assyria.
Nʼoge Peka bụ eze Izrel, ka Tiglat-Pilesa, eze Asịrịa bịara were Ijon, Ebel-Bet-Maaka, Janoa, Kedesh, Hazọ, Gilead, Galili na ala ndị Naftalị niile. Ọ chụpụrụ ndị mmadụ niile mee ka ha gaa biri nʼAsịrịa.
30 Hoshea the son of Elah made a conspiracy against Pekah the son of Remaliah, attacked him, killed him, and reigned in his place, in the twentieth year of Jotham the son of Uzziah.
Nʼoge ahụ, Hoshea nwa Elaa gbara izu ọjọọ megide Peka nwa Remalaya gbuo ya, bụrụ eze nʼọnọdụ ya. Ọ malitere ịbụ eze nʼafọ nke iri abụọ nke ọchịchị eze Jotam nwa Uzaya.
31 Now the rest of the acts of Pekah, and all that he did, behold, they are written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel.
Akụkọ banyere Peka na ihe niile o mere, e deghị ha nʼakwụkwọ akụkọ ihe ndị eze Izrel niile mere nʼụbọchị ndụ ha?
32 In the second year of Pekah the son of Remaliah king of Israel, Jotham the son of Uzziah king of Judah began to reign.
Nʼafọ nke abụọ nke ọchịchị Peka nwa Remalaya eze Izrel ka Jotam nwa Ụzaya eze Juda malitere ọchịchị ya.
33 He was twenty-five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Jerusha the daughter of Zadok.
Ọ gbara iri afọ abụọ na ise mgbe ọ ghọrọ eze. Ọ chịrị afọ iri na isii na Jerusalem. Aha nne ya bụ Jerusha, nwa Zadọk.
34 He did that which was right in the LORD’s eyes. He did according to all that his father Uzziah had done.
O mere ihe ziri ezi nʼanya Onyenwe anyị dịka nna ya Ụzaya mere.
35 However the high places were not taken away. The people still sacrificed and burnt incense in the high places. He built the upper gate of the LORD’s house.
Kama, o wezugaghị ebe ịchụ aja dị nʼelu ugwu, ndị mmadụ gara nʼihu na-achụ aja nsure ọkụ dị iche iche na aja na-esi isi ụtọ nʼebe ahụ. Jotam wugharịrị Ọnụ Ụzọ ama nke dị Elu nke ụlọnsọ ukwu Onyenwe anyị.
36 Now the rest of the acts of Jotham, and all that he did, aren’t they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
Ma banyere ihe ndị ọzọ niile nke oge ọchịchị Jotam na ihe o mere, ọ bụ na e deghị ha nʼakwụkwọ akụkọ ihe mere nʼoge ndị eze Juda?
37 In those days, the LORD began to send Rezin the king of Syria and Pekah the son of Remaliah against Judah.
(Nʼụbọchị ndị ahụ, Onyenwe anyị malitere izite Rezin eze ndị Aram na Peka nwa Remalaya, imegide ndị Juda.)
38 Jotham slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in his father David’s city; and Ahaz his son reigned in his place.
Jotam sooro ndị nna nna ya ha dina nʼọnwụ, e lie ya nʼebe e liri ha, nʼobodo Devid, bụ obodo nna ya. Ehaz nwa ya nwoke ghọrọ eze nʼọnọdụ ya.
