Fiawo 2 8
1 Elisa gblɔ na nyɔnu si ƒe viŋutsu wògbɔ agbee la be, “Kplɔ wò ƒometɔwo eye miayi aɖanɔ teƒe aɖe si miate ŋu anɔ elabena Yehowa ɖe gbe be dɔwuame nava anyigba la dzi eye wòanɔ anyi ƒe adre.”
And Eliseus spoke to the woman, whose son he had restored to life, saying: Arise, and go thou and thy household, and sojourn wheresoever thou canst find: for the Lord hath exiled a famine, and it shall come upon the land seven years.
2 Nyɔnu la wɔ nu si Mawu ƒe ame la gblɔ. Eya kple eƒe ƒometɔwo yi ɖanɔ Filistitɔwo ƒe anyigba dzi ƒe adre.
And she arose, and did according to the word of the man of God: and going with her household, she sojourned in the land of the Philistines many days.
3 Esi dɔwuame la nu tso la, nyɔnu la gatrɔ va Israelnyigba dzi eye wòva kpɔ fia la be wòagbugbɔ yeƒe aƒe kple anyigba na ye.
And when the seven years were ended, the woman returned out of the land of the Philistines, and she went forth to speak to the king for her house, and for her lands.
4 Fia la nɔ nu ƒom kple Gehazi, Elisa ƒe subɔla, esime nyɔnu la do ɖe fia la ŋkume. Fia la nɔ gbɔgblɔm na Gehazi be, “Gblɔ nya aɖewo nam tso nu gã siwo Elisa wɔ la ŋu.”
And the king talked with Giezi, the servant of the man of God, saying: Tell me all the great things that Eliseus hath done.
5 Gehazi nɔ nu ƒom na fia la tso gbe si gbe Elisa gbɔ agbe ŋutsuvi kuku aɖe la ŋuti. Ɣe ma ɣi tututue ŋutsuvia dada do ɖe fia la ŋkume! Gehazi gblɔ na fia la be, “Ahã! Nye aƒetɔ fia bubutɔ, nyɔnu lae nye esia, ame si ƒe viŋutsu ku eye Elisa gbɔ agbee lae nye esia!”
And when he was telling the king how he had raised one dead to life, the woman appeared, whose son he had restored to life, crying to the king for her house, and her lands. And Giezi said: My lord O king, this is the woman, and this is her son, whom Eliseus raised to life.
6 Fia la bia nyɔnu la be, “Nyateƒea?” Nyɔnu la ɖo eŋu be, “Ɛ̃, nyateƒee!” Ale fia la ɖe gbe na eŋumewo dometɔ ɖeka be wòakpɔ egbɔ be nu sia nu si nye nyɔnu la tɔ kpɔ la naka esi eye be woaxe fe nɛ ɖe nuku siwo woxa le eƒe anyimanɔmanɔ me la nu.
And the king asked the woman: and she told him. And the king appointed her an eunuch, saying: Restore her all that is hers, and all the revenues of the lands, from the day that she left the land, to this present.
7 Le esia megbe la, Elisa yi Damasko, Siria ƒe fiadu me esime Siria fia, Ben Hadad nɔ dɔ lém le afi ma. Ame aɖe gblɔ na fia la be nyagblɔɖila la va.
Eliseus also came to Damascus, and Benadad king of Syria was sick: and they told him, saying: The man of God is come hither.
8 Egblɔ na Hazael be, “Tsɔ nunana ɖe asi eye nàyi ɖakpɔ Mawu ƒe ame la. Bia gbe Yehowa to Mawu ƒe ame la dzi. Biae be, ‘Ɖe mahaya tso nye dɔléle sia mea?’”
And the king said to Hazael: Take with thee presents, and go to meet the man of God, and consult the Lord by him, saying: Can I recover of this my illness?
9 Hazael yi ɖado go Elisa. Edo agba na kposɔ blaene kple adzɔnu nyuitɔwo tso Damasko. Eyi ɖatsi tsitre ɖe eŋkume hegblɔ be, “Viwò Ben Hadad, Siria fia dɔm ɖa be mabia wò be, ‘Ɖe mahaya tso nye dɔléle sia mea?’”
And Hazael went to meet him, taking with him presents, and all the good things of Damascus, the burdens of forty camels. And when he stood before him, he said: Thy son Benadad the king of Syria hath sent me to thee, saying: Can I recover of this my illness?
10 Elisa ɖo eŋu be, “Gblɔ nɛ be ahaya gake Yehowa ɖee fiam be ele kuku ge godoo!”
And Eliseus said to him: Go tell him: Thou shalt recover: bat the Lord hath shewn me that he shall surely die.
11 Elisa lĩ ŋku ɖe Hazael dzi gãa va se ɖe esime Hazael tɔtɔ eye Elisa de asi avifafa me.
And he stood with him, and was troubled so far as to blush: and the man of God wept.
12 Hazael biae be, “Nu ka ta nye aƒetɔ le avi fam?” Elisa ɖo eŋu be, “Menya nu vɔ̃ɖi siwo nèle wɔwɔ ge Israelviwo; àtɔ dzo woƒe mɔwo, àwu woƒe ɖekakpuiwo, àxlã woƒe vidzĩwo ɖe agakpewo eye àdze ƒodo le woƒe funɔwo nu!”
And Hazael said to him: Why doth my lord weep? And he said: Because I know the evil that thou wilt do to the children of Israel. Their strong cities then wilt burn with fire, and their young men thou wilt kill with the sword, and thou wilt dash their children, and rip up their pregnant women.
13 Hazael gblɔ be, “Avue menyea? Nyemawɔ nu ma tɔgbi gbeɖegbeɖe o!” Ke Elisa ɖo eŋu be, “Yehowa na menya be wòe ava zu fia le Siria.”
And Hazael said: But what am I thy servant a dog, that I should do this great thing? And Eliseus said: The Lord hath shewn me that thou shalt be king of Syria.
14 Esi Hazael trɔ le Elisa gbɔ va yi eƒe aƒetɔ gbɔ la gbɔ la, ebiae be, “Nya kae nyagblɔɖila la gblɔ na wò?” Hazael ɖo eŋu be, “Egblɔ nam be àhaya.”
And when he was departed from Eliseus, he came to his master, who said to him: What saith Eliseus to thee? And he answered: He told me: Thou shalt recover.
15 Ke esi ŋu ke la, Hazael tsɔ kundru aɖe de tsi me eye wòtsɔe tsyɔ mo na fia Ben Hadad va se ɖe esime gbɔgbɔtsixe tsi eƒo eye wòku. Ale Hazael zu fia ɖe eteƒe.
And on the next day he took a blanket, and pouted water on it, and spread it upon his face: and he died, and Hazael reigned in his stead.
16 Fia Yoram, Yuda fia Yehosafat ƒe vi dze eƒe fiaɖuɖu gɔme le Israel fia, Yehoram, Fia Ahab ƒe vi ƒe fiaɖuɖu ƒe ƒe atɔ̃lia me.
In the fifth year of Joram son of Achab king of Israel, and of Josaphat king of Juda, reigned Joram son of Josaphat king of Juda.
17 Yoram xɔ ƒe blaetɔ̃-vɔ-eve esi wòzu fia. Eɖu fia le Yerusalem ƒe enyi.
He was two and thirty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned eight years in Jerusalem.
18 Enye fia vɔ̃ɖi aɖe abe Ahab kple Israel fia bubuawo ene. Eɖe Ahab ƒe vinyɔnu eye wòwɔ nu si nye vɔ̃ le Yehowa ŋkume.
And he walked in the ways of the kings of Israel, as the house of Achab had walked: for the daughter of Achab was his wife: and he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord.
19 Ke esi Yehowa do ŋugbe na eƒe dɔla, Fia David, be yeakpɔ eƒe dzidzimeviwo dzi eye yeakplɔ wo ta la, metsrɔ̃ Yuda o.
But the Lord would not destroy Juda, for David his servant’s sake, as he had promised him, to give him a light, and to his children always.
20 Le Yoram ƒe fiaɖuɣi la, Edomtɔwo dze aglã, ɖe wo ɖokui ɖa tso Yuda te eye woɖo fia na wo ɖokui.
In his days Edom revolted, from being under Juda, and made themselves a king.
21 Ke Yehoram kple eƒe tasiaɖamwo katã ho yi Zair. Le zã me la, Edomʋakɔ va ɖe to ɖe wo kpe ɖe eƒe tasiaɖam megãwo ŋu. Ke Yoram kple eƒe tasiaɖam megãwo kpe aʋa kple Edomtɔwo hekpe wo dzi hesi to wo dome dzo. Ke eƒe amewo si yi aƒe.
And Joram came to Seira, and all the chariots with him: and he arose in the night, and defeated the Edomites that had surrounded him, and the captains of the chariots, but the people fled into their tents.
22 Ale Edom do le Yuda ƒe kɔkuti te va se ɖe egbe. Libna hã dze aglã ɣe ma ɣi tututu.
So Edom revolted from being under Juda, unto this day. Then Lobna also revolted at the same time.
23 Woŋlɔ Fia Yoram ƒe ŋutinya mamlɛa ɖe, Yuda fiawo ƒe ŋutinyagbalẽ me.
But the rest of the acts of Joram, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Juda?
24 Eku eye woɖii ɖe tɔgbuiawo dome le David ƒe du la me. Ke Ahazia si nye Via ŋutsuvi ɖu fia ɖe eteƒe.
And Joram slept with his fathers, and was buried with them in the city of David, and Ochozias his son reigned in Iris stead.
25 Yoram ƒe vi, Ahazia zu fia yeye la le Israel fia Yehoram, Ahab ƒe vi ƒe fiaɖuɖu ƒe ƒe wuievelia me.
In the twelfth year of Joram son of Achab king of Israel, reigned Ochozias son of Joram king of Juda.
26 Ahazia xɔ ƒe blaeve-vɔ-eve esi wòzu fia. Eɖu fia ƒe ɖeka ko le Yerusalem. Dadae nye Atalia, Israel fia, Omri ƒe tɔgbuiyɔvi.
Ochozias was two and twenty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned one year in Jerusalem: the name of his mother was Athalia the daughter of Amri king of Israel.
27 Enye fia vɔ̃ɖi aɖe abe ale si Fia Ahab ƒe dzidzimeviwo katã nɔ ene elabena edo ƒome kple Fia Ahab to srɔ̃ɖeɖe me.
And he walked in the ways of the house of Achab: and he did evil before the Lord, as did the house of Achab: for he was the son in law of the house of Achab.
28 Ahazia kple Ahab ƒe vi Yoram woho aʋa ɖe Aram fia Hazael ŋu le Ramot Gilead. Aramtɔwo de abi Yoram ŋu le aʋa sia me
He went also with Joram son of Achab, to fight against Hazael king of Syria in Ramoth Galaad, and the Syrians wounded Joram:
29 eya ta Fia Yoram gbɔ va Yezreel be yeagbɔ ɖe eme, eye yeakpɔ egbɔ be woda gbe le abi siwo Aramtɔwo de eŋu le Ramot, esime wòwɔ aʋa kple Aram fia Hazael la ŋu. Ke Ahazia si nye Yuda fia Yehoram ƒe vi la yi Yezerel be yeakpɔ Ahab vi Yoram ɖa ɖe eƒe abixɔxɔ ta.
And he went back to be healed, in Jezrahel: because the Syrians had wounded him in Ramoth when he fought against Hazael king of Syria. And Ochozias the son of Joram king of Juda, went down to visit Joram the son of Achab in Jezrahel, because he was sick there.
