Fiawo 2 1
1 Le Fia Ahab ƒe ku megbe la, Moab dze aglã ɖe Israel ŋu.
And Moab rebelled against Israel, after the death of Achab.
2 Azɔ la, Ahazia ge tso eƒe fesre nu le eƒe dziƒoxɔ dzi le Samaria eye nuvevi wɔe eya ta wòdɔ dɔlawo gblɔ na wo be, “Miyi miabia nu le Ekrontɔwo ƒe mawu, Baal Zebub gbɔ nam ne miakpɔe ɖa be mahaya tso dɔléle sia me mahã.”
And Ochozias fell through the lattices of his upper chamber which he had in Samaria, and was sick: and he sent messengers, saying to them: Go, consult Beelzebub, the god of Accaron, whether I shall recover of this my illness.
3 Ke mawudɔla aɖe gblɔ na Nyagblɔɖila Eliya, Tisbitɔ la be, “Yi nàdo go ame siwo Samaria fia dɔ eye nàbia wo be, ‘Nyateƒee wònye be Mawu aɖeke mele Israel oa? Eya ta mieyina Baal Zebub, Ekrontɔwo ƒe mawu gbɔ be miabia ne fia la ƒe lãme asẽa?’
And an angel of the Lord spoke to Elias the Thesbite, saying: Arise, and go up to meet the messengers of the king of Samaria, and say to them: Is there not a God in Israel, that ye go to consult Beelzebub the god of Accaron?
4 Azɔ nu si Yehowa gblɔe nye esi. ‘Màfɔ le aba si dzi nèmlɔ la dzi o; àku godoo!’” Ale Eliya yi.
Wherefore thus saith the Lord: From the bed, on which thou art gone up, thou shalt not come down, but thou shalt surely die. And Elias went away.
5 Esi ame dɔdɔawo trɔ va fia la gbɔ la, fia la bia wo be, “Nu ka ta mietrɔ gbɔ?”
And the messengers turned back to Ochozias. And he said to them: Why are you come back?
6 Woɖo eŋu be, “Ŋutsu aɖe va tu mí eye wògblɔ na mí be, ‘Mitrɔ yi fia si dɔ mi la gbɔ eye miagblɔ nɛ be, “Nu si Yehowa gblɔe nye: Ɖe Mawu aɖeke mele Israel o tae nèle amewo dɔm be woaɖabia gbe Baal Zebub, Ekrontɔwo ƒe mawua? Eya ta màfɔ le aba si dzi nèmlɔ la dzi o. Àku godoo!”’”
But they answered him: A man met us, and said to us: Go, and return to the king, that sent you, and you shall say to him: Thus saith the Lord: Is it because there was no God in Israel that thou sendest to Beelzebub the god of Accaron? Therefore thou shalt not come down from the bed, on which thou art gone up, but then shalt surely die.
7 Fia la bia be, “Ame kae nye ŋutsu sia? Aleke eƒe dzedzeme le?”
And he said to them: What manner of man was he who met you, and spoke these words?
8 Woɖo eŋu nɛ be, “Enye ŋutsu aɖe si ŋu fu le kpedzee, ebla ali dzi kple alidziblaka keke aɖe si wowɔ kple lãgbalẽ.” Tete fia la do ɣli be, “Eliya, Tisbitɔ lae!”
But they said: A hairy man with a girdle of leather about his loins. And he said: It is Elias the Thesbite.
9 Eɖo aʋakplɔla ɖeka kple asrafo blaatɔ̃ ɖa be woayi aɖalée vɛ. Wokpɔe wònɔ anyi ɖe togbɛ aɖe dzi. Aʋakplɔla la gblɔ nɛ be, “Oo, Mawu ƒe ame, fia la ɖe gbe be nàzɔ kpli mí ava ye gbɔ.”
And he sent to him a captain of fifty, and the fifty men that were under him. And he went up to him, and as he was sitting on the top of a hill, said to him: Man of God, the king hath commanded that thou come down.
10 Eliya ɖo eŋu be, “Nenye Mawu ƒe amee menye tututu la, ekema dzo nage tso dziƒo eye wòafia wò kple wò ame blaatɔ̃awo!” Enumake dzo ge tso dziƒo eye wòfia aʋakplɔla la kple ame blaatɔ̃wo katã.
And Elias answering, said to the captain of fifty: If I be a man of God, let fire come down from heaven, and consume thee, and thy fifty. And there came down fire from heaven, and consumed him, and the fifty that were with him.
11 Ale fia la gaɖo aʋakplɔla bubu aɖe kple asrafo blaatɔ̃ bubu ɖa be woagblɔ nɛ be, “Oo, Mawu ƒe ame, fia la be nàva ye gbɔ fifi laa!”
And again he sent to him another captain of fifty men, and his fifty with him. And he said to him: Man of God, thus saith the king: Make haste and come down.
12 Eliya gblɔ na wo be, “Nenye Mawu ƒe amee menye tututu la, ekema dzo nage tso dziƒo eye wòafia wò kple wò ame blaatɔ̃awo!” Ale Mawu ƒe dzo ge tso dziƒo eye wòfia woawo hã.
Elias answering, said: If I be a man of God, let fire come down from heaven, and consume thee and thy fifty. And fire came down from heaven, and consumed him and his fifty.
13 Fia la gaɖo aʋakplɔla kple ame blaatɔ̃ bubu ɖa. Azɔ ya la, aʋakplɔla la dze klo ɖe Eliya ƒe akɔme eye wòɖe kuku nɛ be, “Oo, Mawu ƒe ame, meɖe kuku, na nye kple wò dɔla blaatɔ̃ siawo míatsi agbe.
Again he sent a third captain of fifty men, and the fifty that were with him. And when he was come, he fell upon his knees, before Elias, and besought him and said: Man of God, despise not my life, and the lives of thy servants that are with me.
14 Kpɔ ɖa, dzo ge tso dziƒo hefia aʋakplɔla gbãtɔ eveawo kple woƒe amewo. Ke azɔ la, na nye agbe naxɔ asi le gbɔwò!”
Behold fire came down from heaven, and consumed the two first captains of fifty men, and the fifties that were with them: but now I beseech thee to spare my life.
15 Yehowa ƒe dɔla aɖe gblɔ na Eliya be, “Mègavɔ̃ o, Yi kpli wo.” Ale Eliya yi fia la gbɔ.
And the angel of the Lord spoke to Elias, saying: Go down with him, fear not. He arose therefore, and went down with him to the king,
16 Eliya gblɔ na fia la be, “Ale Yehowa gblɔe nye esi. Esi Mawu aɖeke mele Israel be nàbia gbee o tae nèɖo amewo ɖa be woaɖabia gbe Baal Zebub, Ekrontɔwo ƒe mawu la? Esi nèwɔ esia ta la, màfɔ le aba si dzi nèmlɔ la dzi akpɔ gbeɖe o; àku godoo!”
And said to him: Thus saith the Lord: Because thou hast sent messengers to consult Beelzebub the god of Accaron, as though there were not a God in Israel, of whom thou mightest inquire the word; therefore from the bed on which thou art gone up, thou shalt not come down, but thou shalt surely die.
17 Ale Ahazia ku abe ale si Yehowa gblɔe da ɖi to Eliya dzi la ene eye nɔvia Yehoram zu fia ɖe eteƒe elabena viŋutsu aɖeke menɔ esi aɖu fia ɖe eyome o. Nya sia dzɔ le Yuda fia Yehoram, Yehosafat ƒe vi ƒe fiaɖuɖu ƒe ƒe evelia me.
So he died according to the word of the Lord which Elias spoke, and Joram his brother reigned in his stead, in the second year of Joram the son of Josaphat king of Juda: because he had no son.
18 Woŋlɔ nu bubuwo tso Ahazia ƒe fiaɖuɖu ŋu ɖe Israel fiawo ƒe ŋutinyagbalẽ me.
But the rest of the acts of Ochozias which he did, are they not written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Israel?
