In the twenty and third year of Joash son of Ahaziah king of Judah, hath Jehoahaz son of Jehu reigned over Israel, in Samaria — seventeen years,
2 Enye fia vɔ̃ɖi aɖe eye wòto Fia Yeroboam, ame si he Israel de nu vɔ̃ me la ƒe mɔ vɔ̃wo dzi.
and he doth the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah, and goeth after the sins of Jeroboam son of Nebat, that he caused Israel to sin — he turned not aside from it,
3 Ale Yehowa do dɔmedzoe ɖe Israel ŋu eye wòɖe mɔ be Siria fia, Hazael kple via Ben Hadad naɖu wo dzi enuenu.
and the anger of Jehovah burneth against Israel, and He giveth them into the hand of Hazael king of Aram, and into the hand of Ben-Hadad son of Hazael, all the days.
4 Ke Yehoahaz do gbe ɖa, bia Yehowa ƒe kpekpeɖeŋu. Yehowa se eƒe gbedodoɖa elabena Yehowa kpɔ ale si Siria fia la nɔ Israelviwo tem ɖe toe.
And Jehoahaz appeaseth the face of Jehovah, and Jehovah hearkeneth unto him, for He hath seen the oppression of Israel, for oppressed them hath the king of Aram, —
5 Ale Yehowa na kplɔlawo do tso Israel me be woaɖe wo tso Siriatɔwo ƒe fuwɔame me, ale Israel gakpɔ gbɔdzɔe kple dedinɔnɔ abe tsã ene.
and Jehovah giveth to Israel a saviour, and they go out from under the hand of Aram, and the sons of Israel dwell in their tents as heretofore;
6 Ke wogayi nu vɔ̃ wɔwɔ dzi kokoko, wodze Yeroboam ƒe nu vɔ̃ mɔwo dzi eye wosubɔa aƒeli le Samaria.
only, they have not turned aside from the sins of the house of Jeroboam, that he caused Israel to sin, therein they walked, and also, the shrine hath remained in Samaria, —
7 Mlɔeba la, Yehowa na sɔdola blaatɔ̃ kple tasiaɖam ewo kple aʋawɔla akpe ewo ko susɔ ɖe Fia Yeroboam ƒe aʋakɔ me elabena Siria fia tsrɔ̃ ame bubuawo abe ʋuʋudedi wonye le eƒe afɔ te ene.
for he left not to Jehoahaz of the people except fifty horsemen, and ten chariots, and ten thousand footmen, for the king of Aram hath destroyed them, and maketh them as dust for threshing.
8 Woŋlɔ Yehoahaz ƒe ŋutinya mamlɛawo, nu siwo katã wòwɔ kple eƒe kalẽwɔwɔwo ɖe Israel fiawo ƒe ŋutinyagbalẽ me.
And the rest of the matters of Jehoahaz, and all that he did, and his might, are they not written on the book of the Chronicles of the kings of Israel?
9 Yehoahaz ku, woɖii ɖe Samaria eye via, Yehoas ɖu fia ɖe eteƒe.
And Jehoahaz lieth with his fathers, and they bury him in Samaria, and reign doth Joash his son in his stead.
10 Yehoas zu fia le Yuda fia Yoas ƒe fiaɖuɖu ƒe ƒe blaetɔ̃-vɔ-adrelia me, eye wònɔ zi dzi ƒe wuiade le Samaria.
In the thirty and seventh year of Joash king of Judah reigned hath Jehoash son of Jehoahaz over Israel, in Samaria — sixteen years,
11 Enye fia vɔ̃ɖi aɖe le Yehowa ŋkume abe Yeroboam, Nebat ƒe vi ene; ena Israelviwo subɔ legbawo eye wòkplɔ wo de nu vɔ̃ me.
and he doth the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah, he hath not turned aside from all the sins of Jeroboam son of Nebat, that he caused Israel to sin, therein he walked.
12 Woŋlɔ Yehoas ƒe fiaɖuɖu, aʋa siwo wòwɔ kple Yuda fia Amazia la ƒe ŋutinyawo ɖe Israel fiawo ƒe ŋutinyagbalẽ me.
And the rest of the matters of Joash, and all that he did, and his might with which he fought with Amaziah king of Judah, are they not written on the book of the Chronicles of the kings of Israel?
13 Yehoas ku, woɖii ɖe Samaria ɖe Israel fia bubuwo gbɔ eye Yeroboam Evelia zu fia ɖe eteƒe.
And Joash lieth with his fathers, and Jeroboam hath sat on his throne, and Joash is buried in Samaria, with the kings of Israel.
14 Esime Elisa nɔ kudɔ ƒom la, Yehoas, Israel fia, yi ɖakpɔe ɖa eye wòfa avi le egbɔ hegblɔ be, “Fofonye! Fofonye! Wòe nye Israel ƒe tasiaɖamwo kple sɔdolawo!”
And Elisha hath been sick with his sickness in which he dieth, and come down unto him doth Joash king of Israel, and weepeth on his face, and saith, 'My father, my father, the chariot of Israel, and its horsemen.'
15 Elisa gblɔ be, “Yi nàdi da kple dati aɖewo vɛ.” Yehoas yi eye wòdi wo vɛ.
And Elisha saith to him, 'Take bow and arrows:' and he taketh unto him bow and arrows.
16 Egblɔ na Israel fia be, “Lé dati la ɖe asi.” Esi wòlé dati la ɖe asi la, Elisa da eƒe asiwo ɖe fia la tɔwo dzi.
And he saith to the king of Israel, 'Place thy hand on the bow;' and he placeth his hand, and Elisha putteth his hands on the hands of the king,
17 Elisa gblɔ be “Ʋu fesre si le ɣedzeƒe lɔƒo.” Fia la ʋui. Elisa gblɔ be, “Dae” Eye fia la dae. Elisa gblɔ be “Esiae nye Yehowa ƒe dziɖuɖu ƒe aŋutrɔ si miatsɔ aɖu Siria dzi. Àtsrɔ̃ Syriatɔwo gbidigbidi le Afek.”
and saith, 'Open the window eastward;' and he openeth, and Elisha saith, 'Shoot,' and he shooteth; and he saith, 'An arrow of salvation to Jehovah, and an arrow of salvation against Aram, and thou hast smitten Aram, in Aphek, till consuming.'
18 Elisa gblɔ be, “Tsɔ datiawo.” Eye fia la tsɔ wo. Elisa gblɔ nɛ be, “Tsɔ datiawo te anyigba.” Fia la te anyigba zi etɔ̃ eye wòdzudzɔ.
And he saith, 'Take the arrows,' and he taketh; and he saith to the king of Israel, 'Smite to the earth;' and he smiteth three times, and stayeth.
19 Ke Nyagblɔɖila la do dɔmedzoe ɖe eŋu eye wògblɔ nɛ be, “Ɖe nàtsɔ aŋutrɔawo ate anyigba zi atɔ̃ alo ade hafi. Anye ne àɖu Siriatɔwo dzi woatsrɔ̃ keŋkeŋ hafi. Fifia la, àɖu wo dzi zi etɔ̃ ko!”
And the man of God is wroth against him, and saith, 'By smiting five or six times then thou hadst smitten Aram till consuming; and now, three times thou dost smite Aram.'
20 Elisa ku eye woɖii. Le ŋkeke mawo me la, adzohawo tsoa Moabnyigba dzi gena ɖe dukɔ la me ƒe sia ƒe ƒe adame hedaa adzo.
And Elisha dieth, and they bury him, and troops of Moab come in to the land, at the coming in of the year,
21 Gbe ɖeka la, esime Israelvi aɖewo nɔ ame kuku aɖe ɖim la, wokpɔ adzoha aɖe; ale wotsɔ ame kuku la ƒu gbe ɖe Elisa ƒe yɔdo me. Esime ame kuku la ka Elisa ƒe ƒuwo ŋu ko la, ame kuku la gbɔ agbe eye wòtsi tsitre.
and it cometh to pass, they are burying a man, and lo, they have seen the troop, and cast the man into the grave of Elisha, and the man goeth and cometh against the bones of Elisha, and liveth, and riseth on his feet.
22 Siria fia Hazael te Israel ɖe to, le Fia Yehoas ƒe fiaɖuɣi blibo la me.
And Hazael king of Aram hath oppressed Israel all the days of Jehoahaz,
23 Ke Yehowa ve Israelviwo nu eye wometsrɔ̃ wo keŋkeŋ o. Eva eme alea elabena Yehowa kpɔ nublanui na wo. Hekpe ɖe esia ŋu la, enɔ nubabla si wòwɔ kple Abraham, Isak kple Yakob la dzi wɔm kokoko.
and Jehovah doth favour them, and pity them, and turn unto them, for the sake of His covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and hath not been willing to destroy them, nor to cast them from His presence as yet.
24 Siria fia Hazael ku eye via Ben Hadad ɖu fia ɖe eteƒe.
And Hazael king of Aram dieth, and reign doth Ben-Hadad his son in his stead,
25 Israel fia Yehoas, Yehoahaz ƒe vi wɔ aʋa ɖu dzi zi etɔ̃ eye wògbugbɔ Israel du siwo Fia Ben Hadad xɔ le fofoa si to edziɖuɖu me le aʋa me la xɔ.
and Jehoash son of Jehoahaz turneth and taketh the cities out of the hand of Ben-Hadad son of Hazael that he had taken out of the hand of Jehoahaz his father in war; three times hath Joash smitten him, and he bringeth back the cities of Israel.
