1 Ahab ƒe vi, Yehoram, dze eƒe fiaɖuɖu le Israel gɔme le Yuda fia Yehosafat ƒe fiaɖuɖu ƒe ƒe wuienyilia me. Eɖu fia ƒe wuieve le Samaria.
Forsothe Joram, sone of Achab, regnede on Israel, in Samarie, in the eiytenthe yeer of Josephat, kyng of Juda. And he regnede twelue yeer,
2 Ewɔ nu si nye vɔ̃ le Yehowa ŋkume ke menye abe fofoa kple dadaa ene o, elabena ewɔ nu nyui ɖeka: emu xɔ si fofoa tu na Baal la ƒu anyi.
and he dide yuel bifor the Lord, but not as his fader and modir;
3 Ke egawɔ nu vɔ̃ si Yeroboam, Nebat ƒe vi wɔ elabena eya hã kplɔ Israelviwo de legbawo subɔsubɔ me.
for he took awei the ymagis of Baal, whiche his fadir hadde maad, netheles in the synnes of Jeroboam, sone of Nabath, that made Israel to do synne, `he cleuyde, and yede not awei fro tho.
4 Moab fia, Mesa kple eƒe amewo nye alẽnyilawo. Woxea adzɔ na Israel kple alẽ akpe alafa ɖeka kple agbo akpe alafa ɖeka ƒe fu ƒe sia ƒe.
Forsothe Mesa, kyng of Moab, nurschide many beestis, and paiede to the kyng of Israel an hundrid thousynde of lambren, and an hundrid thousynde of wetheris, with her fleesis.
5 Ke le Ahab ƒe ku megbe la, Moab fia dze aglã ɖe Israel ŋu.
And whanne Achab was deed, he brak the boond of pees, which he hadde with the kyng of Israel.
6 Ale Fia Yehoram dzo le Samaria yi ɖaƒo Israelʋakɔ nu ƒu.
Therfor kyng Joram yede out of Samarie in that dai, and noumbride al Israel.
7 Eɖo du ɖe Yuda fia Yehosafat be, “Moab fia dze aglã ɖe ŋunye; àte ŋu akpe ɖe ŋunye mawɔ aʋa kpliia?” Yehosafat ɖo eŋu be, “Makpe ɖe ŋuwò. Nye amewo kple nye sɔwo le asiwò me.”
And he sente to Josephat, kyng of Juda, and seide, The kyng of Moab yede awei fro me; come thou with me ayens him to batel. Which Josephat answeride, Y schal stie; he that is myn, is thin; my puple is thi puple; and myn horsis ben thin horsis.
8 “Mɔ ka míato hafi adze wo dzi?” Yehoram ɖo eŋu be, “Míadze wo dzi tso Edom gbegbe.”
And he seide, Bi what weie schulen we stie? And he answeride, Bi the deseert of Ydumee.
9 Ale Israel, Yuda kple Edom fiawo kplɔ woƒe aʋakɔwo to mɔ gɔdɔ̃ aɖe to gbegbe la ŋkeke adre, ke tsi menɔ anyi na ameawo kple woƒe lãwo o.
Therfor the kyng of Israel, and the kyng of Juda, and the kyng of Edom, yeden forth, and cumpassiden bi the weie of seuene daies; and `watir was not to the oost, and to the beestis, that sueden hem.
10 Israel fia do ɣli be, “Oo, nu ka míawɔ? Yehowa kplɔ mí va afi sia be yeana Moab fia naɖu mía dzi!”
And the kyng of Israel seide, Alas! alas! alas! the Lord hath gaderide vs thre kyngis to bitake vs in the hond of Moab.
11 Ke Yuda fia, Yehosafat biae be, “Yehowa ƒe nyagblɔɖila aɖeke mele mía dome oa? Ne eli la, ekema míate ŋu ana wòagblɔ nu si míawɔ la na mí.” Israel fiaŋumewo dometɔ ɖeka gblɔ be, “Elisa, Safat ƒe viŋutsu le afi sia, Eliya ƒe kpeɖeŋutɔe wònye!”
And Josephat seide, Whether ony prophete of the Lord is here, that we biseche the Lord bi hym? And oon of the seruauntis of the kyng of Israel answeride, Elisee, the sone of Saphat, is here, that schedde watir on the hondis of Elie.
12 Yehosafat gblɔ be, “Ahã, eyae nye ame si tututu dim míele; Yehowa ƒe nya le esi.” Ale Israel kple Yuda kple Edom ƒe fiawo yi ɖabia gbe Elisa.
And Josephat seide, Is the word of the Lord at hym? Whiche seiden, `It is. And the kyng of Israel, and Josephat, kyng of Juda, and the kyng of Edom, yeden doun to hym.
13 Ke Elisa gblɔ na Israel fia Yehoram be, “Nyemedi wò nya aɖeke be mase o; yi fofowò kple dawò ƒe nyagblɔɖilawo gbɔ!” Fia Yehoram ɖo eŋu be, “Ao, elabena Yehowae yɔ mí va afi sia be Moab fia natsrɔ̃ mí!”
Forsothe Elise seide to the kyng of Israel, What is to me and to thee? Go thou to the prophetis of thi fadir and of thi modir. And the kyng of Israel seide to hym, Whi hath the Lord gaderid these thre kyngis, to bitake hem into the hondis of Moab?
14 Elisa gblɔ nɛ be, “Meta Yehowa, Dziƒoʋakɔwo ƒe Aƒetɔ, ame si mesubɔna la ƒe agbe be nenye ɖe nyemede bubu Yuda fia Yehosafat ƒe afi sia nɔnɔ ŋu o la, anye ne nyemanye kɔ akpɔ wò gɔ̃ hã o.
And Elisee seide to hym, The Lord of oostis lyueth, in whos siyt Y stonde, if Y were not aschamed of the cheer of Josephat, king of Juda, treuli Y hadde not perseyued, nethir Y hadde biholde thee.
15 Ke azɔ la, mikplɔ kasaŋkuƒola aɖe vɛ nam.” Esi kasaŋkuƒola la nɔ kasaŋkua ƒom la, Yehowa ƒe ŋusẽ va Elisa dzi
Now forsothe brynge ye to me a sautrere. And whanne the sautrere song, the hond of the Lord was maad on hym, and he seide, The Lord seith these thingis,
16 eye wògblɔ be, “Ale Yehowa gblɔe nye esi: ‘Miɖe ʋewo ɖe bali sia me’,
Make ye the wombe, ether depthe, of this stronde dichis and dichis.
17 elabena ale Yehowa gblɔe nye esi: ‘Miakpɔ yaƒoƒo loo alo tsidzadza o, gake tsi ayɔ bali sia me si wò kple wò nyiwo kple wò lãha bubuawo miano.’
For the Lord seith these thingis, Ye schulen not se wynd, nethir reyn, and this depthe schal be fillid with watris, and ye schulen drynke, and youre meynees, and youre beestis.
18 Esia nye nu bɔbɔe le Yehowa ŋkume. Atsɔ Moab hã ade asi na wò.
And this is litil in the siyt of the Lord. Ferthermore also he schal bitake Moab in to youre hondis;
19 Miagbã du sesẽ ɖe sia ɖe kple du gã ɖe sia ɖe aƒu anyi. Nenema ke mialã ati nyui ɖe sia ɖe aƒu anyi, miatɔ te tɔsisi ɖe sia ɖe ƒe sisi eye miatsɔ kpewo agblẽ agbledenyigba nyuiwo katã.”
and ye schulen smyte ech strengthid citee, and ech chosun citee, and ye schulen kitte doun ech tre berynge fruyt, and ye schulen stoppe alle the wellis of watris, and ye schulen hile with stonys ech noble feeld.
20 Esi ŋu ke, le ŋdivɔsaɣi la, tsie nye ekem le dodom bababa tso Edom lɔƒo! Tsi ɖɔ ɖe anyigba la dzi.
Therfor it was doon eerli, whanne sacrifice is wont to be offrid, and, lo! watris camen bi the weie of Edom, and the lond was fillid with watris.
21 Azɔ la Moabtɔwo katã se be fiawo va aʋa wɔ ge kple yewo eya ta woyɔ ŋutsu ɖe sia ɖe, ɖekakpuiwo kple ame tsitsiwo siaa, ame sia ame si ate ŋu awɔ aʋa ko eye wova ƒu asaɖa anyi ɖe woƒe liƒo dzi.
Sotheli alle men of Moab herden, that kyngis hadden stied to fiyte ayens hem; `and men of Moab clepiden togidere alle men, that weren gird with girdil aboue, and thei stoden in the termes.
22 Esi wofɔ ŋdi kanya la, ɣe nɔ keklẽm ɖe tsia dzi eye hena Moabtɔ siwo nɔ tɔa godo la, wokpɔ tsi la wòbiã dzẽ abe ʋu ene.
And men of Moab risiden ful eerli, and whanne the sunne was risun thanne euen ayens the watris, thei sien the watris reed as blood euene ayens.
23 Tete wogblɔ be, “Ʋue nye ekem! Fia mawo anya wɔ aʋa, wu wo nɔewo. Azɔ la Moab, miva miaɖaha woƒe nuwo!”
And thei seiden, It is the blood of swerd, `that is, sched out bi swerd; kyngis fouyten ayens hem silf, and thei ben slayn togider; now go thou, Moab, to the prey.
24 Ke esi woɖo Israelviwo ƒe asaɖa me la, Israelviwo ƒe aʋawɔlawo lũ ɖe wo dzi eye wode asi Moabtɔwo wuwu me, ale Moabtɔwo si. Israelviwo ge ɖe Moabnyigba dzi eye woyi wo wuwu dzi le afi ma.
And thei yeden in to the castels of Israel; forsothe Israel roos, and smoot Moab, and thei fledden bifor men of Israel. Therfor thei that hadden ouercome, camen, and smytiden Moab, and destrieden cytees;
25 Wogbã duwo, lɔ kpe kɔ ɖe anyigba nyui ɖe sia ɖe dzi, xe tsidzɔƒewo eye wolã kutsetsetiwo ƒu anyi. Mlɔeba la, Kir Hareset mɔ koe susɔ, ke akafodalawo ɖe to ɖe eya hã eye woxɔe.
and alle men sendynge stoonys filliden ech beste feeld, and stoppiden alle the wellis of watris, and kittiden doun alle trees berynge fruyt, so that oneli `wallis maad of erthe weren left; and the citee was cumpassid of men settinge engynes, and was smytun bi greet part.
26 Esi Moab fia kpɔ be woɖu ye dzi la, ekplɔ yidala alafa adre be yewoadze agbagba mamlɛtɔ ayi aɖalé Edom fia. Ke esia hã medze edzi o.
And whanne the kyng of Moab hadde seyn this, that is, that the enemyes hadden the maistrie, he took with hym seuene hundrid men drawynge swerdis, that thei shulden breke in to the kyng of Edom; and thei myyten not.
27 Azɔ la Moab fia lé Via ŋutsu tsitsitɔ si aɖu fia ɖe eteƒe la, wui eye wòtsɔe sa numevɔe ɖe gli la dzi. Nuwɔna sia na Moabtɔwo ƒe mo nyra ɖe Israelviwo ŋuti, ale Israel ƒe aʋawɔlawo trɔ dzo yi woawo ŋutɔ ƒe anyigba dzi.
And he took his firste gendrid sone, that schulde regne for hym, and offride brent sacrifice on the wal; and greet indignacioun was maad in Israel; and anoon thei yeden awei fro hym, and turneden ayen in to her lond.
