2 Kings 3
1 And Jehoram son of Ahab hath reigned over Israel, in Samaria, in the eighteenth year of Jehoshaphat king of Judah, and he reigneth twelve years,
Jehoram nwa Ehab, malitere ịbụ eze ndị Izrel na Sameria nʼafọ nke iri na asatọ nke ọchịchị Jehoshafat na Juda. Afọ iri na abụọ ka ọ chịrị dịka eze.
2 and doth the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah, only not like his father, and like his mother, and he turneth aside the standing-pillar of Baal that his father made;
O mere ihe ọjọọ nʼanya Onyenwe anyị, ma ọ bụghị dịka nna ya na nne ya mere. O wezugara nkume ahụ e doro nsọ nye Baal nke nna ya kpụrụ.
3 only to the sins of Jeroboam son of Nebat that he caused Israel to sin he hath cleaved, he hath not turned aside from it.
Otu ọ dị, ọ nọgidere na mmehie Jeroboam nwa Nebat, onye mere ka Izrel baa nʼime mmehie ife arụsị. Joram esiteghị na ha wezuga onwe ya.
4 And Mesha king of Moab was a sheep-master, and he rendered to the king of Israel a hundred thousand lambs, and a hundred thousand rams, [with] wool,
Eze ndị Moab, bụ Misha, na ndị ya, bụ ndị na-azụ atụrụ. Nʼafọ niile, ọ na-atụrụ eze Izrel otu narị puku ajị ebule, na otu narị puku atụrụ.
5 and it cometh to pass at the death of Ahab, that the king of Moab transgresseth against the king of Israel.
Ma mgbe Ehab eze Izrel nwụrụ, eze Moab nupuru isi megide eze Izrel, jụkwa ịnọ nʼokpuru ya ọzọ.
6 And king Jehoram goeth out in that day from Samaria, and inspecteth all Israel,
Ya mere, eze Joram sitere na Sameria pụọ ga kpọkọta ndị Izrel niile.
7 and goeth and sendeth unto Jehoshaphat king of Judah, saying, 'The king of Moab hath transgressed against me; dost thou go with me unto Moab for battle?' and he saith, 'I go up, as I, so thou; as my people, so thy people; as my horses, so thy horses.
O zigara Jehoshafat eze Juda ozi sị ya, “Eze Moab enupula isi megide m. Ị ga-abịa soro m ịga buso ndị Moab agha?” Ọ zaghachiri, “Aga m eso gị gaa. Mụ na gị bụ otu, ndị m bụ ndị gị, ịnyịnya m bụkwa ịnyịnya gị.”
8 And he saith, 'Where [is] this — the way we go up?' and he saith, 'The way of the wilderness of Edom.'
“Ma olee ụzọ anyị ga-esi gaa ibu agha ahụ?” Joram zara, “Anyị ga-esi ụzọ ọzara Edọm.”
9 And the king of Israel goeth, and the king of Judah, and the king of Edom, and they turn round the way seven days, and there hath been no water for the camp, and for the cattle that [are] at their feet,
Ya mere, eze Izrel na eze Juda, na eze Edọm, na ndị agha ha niile, zukọtara site ụzọ ọzara Edọm ịga ibuso Moab agha. Ha gara ije abalị asaa nʼọzara. Ma mmiri ọṅụṅụ ha nwere gwụsịrị. Ọ dịkwaghị mmiri dịrị anụ ụlọ ha, na ndị agha ha.
10 and the king of Israel saith, 'Alas, for Jehovah hath called for these three kings, to give them into the hand of Moab.'
Mgbe ahụ, eze Izrel tiri mkpu sị, “Gịnị ka anyị ga-eme? Ọ ga-abụ na Onyenwe anyị kpọpụtara anyị bụ eze atọ ndị a, nʼebe a, inyefe anyị nʼaka ndị Moab, ka ha merie anyị?”
11 And Jehoshaphat saith, 'Is there not here a prophet of Jehovah, and we seek Jehovah by him?' And one of the servants of the king of Israel answereth and saith, 'Here [is] Elisha son of Shaphat, who poured water on the hands of Elijah.'
Ma Jehoshafat, eze Juda, jụrụ ajụjụ sị, “Ọ bụ na o nweghị onye amụma Onyenwe anyị nọ nʼebe a, onye anyị ga-esi nʼaka ya jụta Onyenwe anyị ase, site na ya?” Otu onyeisi agha ndị Izrel sị ha, “Ịlaisha, nwa Shafat, onye jeere Ịlaịja ozi, nọ nʼebe a.”
12 And Jehoshaphat saith, 'The word of Jehovah is with him;' and go down unto him do the king of Israel, and Jehoshaphat, and the king of Edom.
Jehoshafat zara sị, “Okwu Onyenwe anyị dị nʼọnụ ya.” Ya mere, eze Izrel na Jehoshafat, na eze Edọm, gakwuru ya.
13 And Elisha saith unto the king of Israel, 'What — to me and to thee? go unto the prophets of thy father, and unto the prophets of thy mother;' and the king of Israel saith to him, 'Nay, for Jehovah hath called for these three kings to give them into the hand of Moab.'
Ịlaisha zara eze Izrel sị, “Gịnị ka mụ na gị nwekọrọ? Jekwuru ndị amụma nne gị na nna gị, jụta ha ase.” Eze Izrel zara sị ya, “Mba, nʼihi na ọ bụ Onyenwe anyị kpọpụtara anyị bụ eze atọ nʼebe a, ka o were anyị nyefee nʼaka ndị Moab.”
14 And Elisha saith, 'Jehovah of Hosts liveth, before whom I have stood; for unless the face of Jehoshaphat king of Judah I am lifting up, I do not look unto thee, nor see thee;
Ịlaisha sịrị, “Ebe Onyenwe anyị, Onye pụrụ ime ihe niile na-adị ndụ, bụ onye m na-efe, a si na ọ bụghị nsọpụrụ m nwere nʼebe Jehoshafat eze Juda nọ, agaraghị m atụpụrụ gị ọnụ maọbụ lee gị anya nʼihu.
15 and now, bring to me a minstrel; and it hath been, at the playing of the minstrel, that the hand of Jehovah is on him,
Ma ugbu a, kpọtaranụ m onye na-akpọ ụbọ.” Mgbe ọkpọ ụbọ ahụ malitere ịkpọ ụbọ ya, aka Onyenwe anyị bịakwasịrị Ịlaisha.
16 and he saith, 'Thus said Jehovah, Make this valley ditches — ditches;
Ọ sịrị, “Ihe a ka Onyenwe anyị kwuru, aga m eme ka ndagwurugwu a jupụta nʼolulu mmiri.
17 for thus said Jehovah, Ye do not see wind, nor do ye see rain, and that valley is full of water, and ye have drunk — ye, and your cattle, and your beasts.
Nʼihi na otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwuru, Unu agaghị ahụ ifufe maọbụ mmiri ozuzo, ma ndagwurugwu a ga-ejupụta na mmiri, unu onwe unu ga-aṅụ, na ehi unu, na anụmanụ ndị ọzọ unu ga-aṅụkwa mmiri.
18 'And this hath been light in the eyes of Jehovah, and he hath given Moab into your hand,
Ma nke a bụ ihe dị nta nʼebe Onyenwe anyị nọ, nʼihi na ọ ga-enyefekwa ndị Moab nʼaka unu.
19 and ye have smitten every fenced city, and every choice city, and every good tree ye cause to fall, and all fountains of waters ye stop, and every good portion ye mar with stones.'
Unu ga-etigbu obodo ọbụla e wusiri ike, na obodo ukwu niile. Unu ga-egbudakwa ezi osisi ha na-amị mkpụrụ, kpọchie isi mmiri ha niile, werekwa nkume mebikwaa ezi ala ubi ha niile.”
20 And it cometh to pass in the morning, at the ascending of the [morning] -present, that lo, waters are coming in from the way of Edom, and the land is filled with the waters,
O ruo, nʼụtụtụ, nʼoge e ji achụ aja nsure ọkụ ụtụtụ, lee na mmiri sitere ụzọ Edọm sọọrọ bịa nʼebe ahụ ha gwuru olulu na ndagwurugwu ala ahụ sọjuo ala ahụ niile.
21 and all Moab have heard that the kings have come up to fight against them, and they are called together, from every one girding on a girdle and upward, and they stand by the border.
Mgbe ndị Moab nụrụ na ndị eze ahụ na-abịa imegide ha, ha kpọkọtara ndị ikom ọbụla nwere ike ịlụ agha, ma okenye ma okorobịa, pụta bịa guzo nʼoke ala ha.
22 And they rise early in the morning, and the sun hath shone on the waters, and the Moabites see, from over-against, the waters red as blood,
Mgbe chi bọrọ nʼisi ụtụtụ, anyanwụ wara mụkwasị mmiri ahụ. Site nʼebe ha nọ, ndị Moab lepụrụ anya hụ mmiri ahụ ka ọ na-acha ọbara ọbara.
23 and say, 'Blood this [is]; the kings have been surely destroyed, and they smite each his neighbour; and now for spoil, Moab!'
Mgbe ahụ, ha sịrịtara onwe ha, “Leenụ ọbara! Ọ ga-abụ na ndị agha eze atọ ndị a etigbuola onwe ha. Pụtanụ, unu ndị Moab, ka anyị gaa kwakọrọ ihe nkwata na-agha!”
24 And they come in unto the camp of Israel, and the Israelites rise, and smite the Moabites, and they flee from their face; and they enter into Moab, so as to smite Moab,
Mgbe ha gbaara ọsọ bịaruo nʼụlọ agha ndị Izrel, ndị agha Izrel biliri malite itigbu ha. Ya mere, ndị agha Moab sitere nʼihu ha gbalaga. Ma ndị agha Izrel banyere nʼime obodo ndị Moab, gbuo ihe niile ha hụrụ nʼụzọ.
25 and the cities they break down, and [on] every good portion they cast each his stone, and have filled it, and every fountain of water they stop, and every good tree they cause to fall — till one had left its stones in Kir-Haraseth, and the slingers go round and smite it.
Ha tidara obodo ndị Moab niile, tinye nkume nʼala ubi ọma ndị Moab niile. Ha kpọchiri isi mmiri niile, gbudasịakwa ezi osisi niile na-amị mkpụrụ nʼala ahụ. Nʼikpeazụ, ọ bụ naanị otu obodo ndị Moab fọdụrụ, isi obodo a na-akpọ Kia Hareset. Ndị ji ụdọ na-ama nkume gbara obodo a gburugburu, bido ibuso ya agha.
26 And the king of Moab seeth that the battle has been too strong for him, and he taketh with him seven hundred men, drawing sword, to cleave through unto the king of Edom, and they have not been able,
Mgbe eze Moab hụrụ na agha ahụ anaghị agaziri ya nke ọma, ọ chịịrị narị ndị agha asaa, ndị ji mma agha ebu agha, gbalịa isi nʼetiti ndị agha Izrel tikapụta, na ncherita ihu ebe eze Edọm nọ, ma ha enweghị ike.
27 and he taketh his son, the first-born who reigneth in his stead, and causeth him to ascend — a burnt-offering on the wall, and there is great wrath against Israel, and they journey from off him, and turn back to the land.
Ya mere, o weere ọkpara ya, onye gaara abụ eze nʼọnọdụ ya, gbuo ya, dịka aja nʼelu mgbidi gbara obodo ahụ gburugburu nye chi Moab. Iwe dị ukwuu dị nʼụbọchị ahụ megide Izrel. Ha kwụsịrị ibu agha, laghachi nʼobodo nke aka ha.
