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 Elisha' spoke unto the woman, whose son he had restored to life, saying, Arise, and go, thou and thy household, and sojourn wheresoever thou canst sojourn; for the Lord hath called for a famine, and it is also coming in the land for 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 the woman arose, and did after the word of the man of God; and she went, she with her household, and sojourned in the land of the Philistines seven years.
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 it came to pass at the end of seven years, that the woman returned out of the land of the Philistines; and she went forth to cry unto the king for her house and for her land.
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 was just speaking with Gechazi the servant of the man of God, saying, Relate to me, I pray thee, all the great things that Elisha' 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 it came to pass, as he was just relating to the king how he had restored the dead to life, that, behold, the woman, whose son he had restored to life, cried to the king for her house and for her land. And Gechazi said, My lord, O king, this is the woman, and this is her son, whom Elisha' restored 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 of the woman, who related it to him. So the king appointed unto her a certain officer, saying, Restore all that belongeth to her, and all the products of the field since the day that she left the land, even until now.
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.
And Elisha' came to Damascus; and Ben-hadad, the king of Syria, was sick; and it was told him, saying, The man of God is come even 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 unto Chazael, Take a present in thy hand, and go to meet the man of God, and inquire of the Lord from him, saying, Shall I recover from this sickness?
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?’”
So Chazael went to meet him, and took a present in his hand, and all manner of good things of Damascus, a burden for forty camels, and he came and stood before him, and said, Thy son Ben-hadad the king of Syria hath sent me to thee, saying, Shall I recover from this sickness?
10 Elisa ɖo eŋu be, “Gblɔ nɛ be ahaya gake Yehowa ɖee fiam be ele kuku ge godoo!”
And Elisha' said unto him, Go, say unto him, Thou mayest certainly recover; nevertheless the Lord hath shown 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 restrained his countenance, and held back as long as he could: and then wept the man of God.
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 Chazael said, Why doth my Lord weep? And he said, Because I know what evil thou wilt do unto the children of Israel: their strong-holds wilt thou set on fire, and their young men wilt thou slay with the sword, and their children wilt thou dash, and their pregnant women wilt thou rip up.
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 Chazael said, But what is thy servant, the dog, that he should do this great thing? And Elisha' said, The Lord hath caused me to see thee as king over 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.”
So he went away from Elisha', and came to his master; who said to him, What hath Elisha' said to thee? And he said, he said to me that thou couldst surely 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 it came to pass on the morrow, that he took a cover lid, and dipped it in water, and spread it over his face, and he died: and Chazael became king 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.
And in the fifth year of Joram the son of Achab the king of Israel, Jehoshaphat being yet king of Judah, Jehoram the son of Jehoshaphat the king of Judah became king.
17 Yoram xɔ ƒe blaetɔ̃-vɔ-eve esi wòzu fia. Eɖu fia le Yerusalem ƒe enyi.
Thirty and two years old was he when he became king, and eight years did he reign 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 way of the kings of Israel, as the house of Achab had done; for a daughter of Achab had he for wife: and he did what is evil in the eyes 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.
Yet would the Lord not destroy Judah for the sake of David his servant, as he said unto him, to give him a government and to his children at all times.
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 under the power of Judah, and they appointed a king over themselves.
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 went over to Za'ir, and all the chariots were with him; and he rose up by night, and smote the Edomites who compassed him about, and the captains of the chariots: and the people fled unto their tents.
22 Ale Edom do le Yuda ƒe kɔkuti te va se ɖe egbe. Libna hã dze aglã ɣe ma ɣi tututu.
Yet Edom revolted from under the power of Judah even until this day; then did Libnah revolt at the same time.
23 Woŋlɔ Fia Yoram ƒe ŋutinya mamlɛa ɖe, Yuda fiawo ƒe ŋutinyagbalẽ me.
And the rest of the acts of Joram, and all that he did, behold, they are written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah.
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 his fathers in the city of David: and Achazyahu his son became king in his 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 the son of Achab the king of Israel became Achazyahu, the son of Jehoram the king of Judah, king.
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.
Two and twenty years old was Achazyahu when he became king; and one year did he reign in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was 'Athalyahu, the [grand-]daughter of 'Omri the 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 way of the house of Achab, and did what is evil in the eyes of the Lord, like 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
And he went with Joram the son of Achab to the war against Chazael the king of Syria at Ramoth-gil'ad: and the Syrians smote 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 king Joram returned to be healed in Yizre'el of the wounds which the Syrians had inflicted on him at Ramah, when he was fighting against Chazael the king of Syria. And Achazyahu the son of Jehoram the king of Judah went down to see Joram the son of Achab in Yizre'el, because he was sick.
