2 Athamaki 13
1 Na rĩrĩ, mwaka-inĩ wa mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ na ĩtatũ wa wathani wa Joashu mũrũ wa Ahazia mũthamaki wa Juda, Jehoahazu mũrũ wa Jehu agĩtuĩka mũthamaki wa Isiraeli kũu Samaria, nake agĩathana mĩaka ikũmi na mũgwanja.
In the three and twentieth year of Joash the son of Ahaziah king of Judah Jehoahaz the son of Jehu began to reign over Israel in Samaria, and reigned seventeen years.
2 Nĩekire maũndũ mooru maitho-inĩ ma Jehova nĩ ũndũ wa kũrũmĩrĩra mehia ma Jeroboamu mũrũ wa Nebati, marĩa aatũmĩte Isiraeli meehie, nake ndaigana kũmatiga.
And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, and followed the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, which made Israel to sin; he departed not from it.
3 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Jehova agĩcinwo nĩ marakara nĩ ũndũ wa Isiraeli, nake akĩmaneana ihinda iraaya moko-inĩ ma Hazaeli mũthamaki wa Suriata, na Beni-Hadadi mũriũ wake.
And the anger of the LORD was kindled against Israel, and he delivered them into the hand of Hazael king of Syria, and into the hand of Benhadad the son of Hazael, all their days.
4 Nake Jehoahazu agĩthaitha Jehova, nake Jehova akĩmũigua tondũ nĩonete ũrĩa mũthamaki wa Suriata aahinyagĩrĩria Isiraeli.
And Jehoahaz besought the LORD, and the LORD hearkened unto him: for he saw the oppression of Israel, because the king of Syria oppressed them.
5 Nake Jehova akĩhe Isiraeli mũhonokia, akĩmaruta kuuma watho-inĩ wa Suriata. Nĩ ũndũ ũcio andũ a Isiraeli magĩtũũra mĩciĩ-inĩ yao o ta tene.
(And the LORD gave Israel a saviour, so that they went out from under the hand of the Syrians: and the children of Israel dwelt in their tents, as in time past.
6 No rĩrĩ, matiigana gũtigana na mehia ma nyũmba ya Jeroboamu, marĩa aatũmĩte Isiraeli meehie; na magĩthiĩ na mbere namo, o na ningĩ gĩtugĩ kĩa Ashera gĩgĩtũũra kĩrũgamĩte kũu Samaria.
Nevertheless they departed not from the sins of the house of Jeroboam, who made Israel sin, but walked therein: and there remained the grove also in Samaria.)
7 Gũtirĩ kĩndũ gĩatigarĩtio gĩa ita rĩa Jehoahazu, tiga andũ arĩa maathiiaga mahaicĩte mbarathi mĩrongo ĩtano, na ngaari ikũmi cia ita, na thigari cia magũrũ 10,000, nĩgũkorwo mũthamaki wa Suriata nĩathũkĩtie icio ingĩ agĩcitua o ta rũkũngũ rwa kĩhuhĩro-inĩ.
Neither did he leave of the people to Jehoahaz but fifty horsemen, and ten chariots, and ten thousand footmen; for the king of Syria had destroyed them, and had made them like the dust by threshing.
8 Ha ũhoro wa maũndũ marĩa mangĩ makoniĩ wathani wa Jehoahazu, na ũrĩa wothe eekire, na maũndũ marĩa aahingirie-rĩ, githĩ matiandĩkĩtwo ibuku-inĩ rĩa mahinda ma athamaki a Isiraeli?
Now the rest of the acts of Jehoahaz, and all that he did, and his might, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
9 Nake Jehoahazu akĩhurũka hamwe na maithe make, na agĩthikwo Samaria. Nake mũriũ Jehoashu agĩtuĩka mũthamaki ithenya rĩake.
And Jehoahaz slept with his fathers; and they buried him in Samaria: and Joash his son reigned in his position.
10 Mwaka-inĩ wa mĩrongo ĩtatũ na mũgwanja wa Joashu mũthamaki wa Juda, Jehoashu mũrũ wa Jehoahazu agĩtuĩka mũthamaki wa Isiraeli kũu Samaria, nake agĩthamaka mĩaka ikũmi na ĩtandatũ.
In the thirty and seventh year of Joash king of Judah began Jehoash the son of Jehoahaz to reign over Israel in Samaria, and reigned sixteen years.
11 Nĩekire maũndũ mooru maitho-inĩ ma Jehova, na ndaatiganire na mehia o na mamwe ma Jeroboamu mũrũ wa Nebati, marĩa aatũmĩte Isiraeli meehie; aathiire na mbere namo.
And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD; he departed not from all the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel sin: but he walked therein.
12 Ha ũhoro wa maũndũ marĩa mangĩ makoniĩ wathani wa Jehoashu, na ũrĩa wothe eekire, na maũndũ marĩa aahingirie, o na mbaara yake na Amazia mũthamaki wa Juda-rĩ, githĩ matiandĩkĩtwo ibuku-inĩ rĩa mahinda ma Athamaki a Isiraeli?
And the rest of the acts of Joash, and all that he did, and his might wherewith he fought against Amaziah king of Judah, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
13 Jehoashu akĩhurũka hamwe na maithe make, nake Jeroboamu agĩikarĩra gĩtĩ gĩake kĩa ũnene. Jehoashu aathikirwo kũu Samaria hamwe na athamaki a Isiraeli.
And Joash slept with his fathers; and Jeroboam sat upon his throne: and Joash was buried in Samaria with the kings of Israel.
14 Na rĩrĩ, Elisha aarĩ mũrũaru mũrimũ ũrĩa wamũũragire. Nake Jehoashu mũthamaki wa Isiraeli agĩikũrũka, agĩthiĩ kũmuona na akĩmũrĩrĩra. Akiuga atĩrĩ, “Wũi baba-ĩ! Wũi baba-ĩ! Ngaari cia ita na ahaici a mbarathi a Isiraeli!”
Now Elisha was fallen sick of his sickness whereof he died. And Joash the king of Israel came down unto him, and wept over his face, and said, O my father, my father, the chariot of Israel, and the horsemen thereof.
15 Nake Elisha akiuga atĩrĩ, “Oya ũta o na mĩguĩ.” nake agĩĩka o ũguo.
And Elisha said unto him, Take bow and arrows. And he took unto him bow and arrows.
16 Nake akĩĩra mũthamaki wa Isiraeli atĩrĩ, “Oya ũta na moko maku,” nake aarĩkia kuoya, Elisha akĩigĩrĩra mũthamaki moko.
And he said to the king of Israel, Put your hand upon the bow. And he put his hand upon it: and Elisha put his hands upon the king's hands.
17 Akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Hingũra ndirica ya irathĩro,” Nake akĩmĩhingũra. Elisha akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Ikia mũguĩ!” Nake akĩũikia. Elisha akiuga atĩrĩ, “Ũyũ nĩ mũguĩ wa Jehova wa ũhootani, wa kũhoota Asuriata! Nĩũkahoota Asuriata kũu Afeki na ũmaniine biũ.”
And he said, Open the window eastward. And he opened it. Then Elisha said, Shoot. And he shot. And he said, The arrow of the LORD's deliverance, and the arrow of deliverance from Syria: for you shall strike the Syrians in Aphek, till you have consumed them.
18 Agĩcooka akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Oya mĩguĩ,” Nake mũthamaki akĩmĩoya. Elisha akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Ta mĩgũthithie thĩ.” Nake akĩmĩgũthithia thĩ maita matatũ, agĩtiga.
And he said, Take the arrows. And he took them. And he said unto the king of Israel, Strike upon the ground. And he stroke three times, and stayed.
19 Nake mũndũ wa Ngai akĩrakara nĩ ũndũ wake, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Ũkwagĩrĩirwo nĩ kũmĩringithia maita matano kana matandatũ; ũguo nĩguo ũngĩgaatooria andũ a Suriata na ũmaniine biũ. No rĩu ũkaamahoota o maita matatũ tu.”
And the man of God was angry with him, and said, You should have smitten five or six times; then had you smitten Syria till you had consumed it: whereas now you shall strike Syria but three times.
20 Nake Elisha agĩkua na agĩthikwo. Na rĩrĩ, atharĩkĩri a kuuma Moabi maahũthĩrĩte gũtoonya bũrũri-inĩ o kĩambĩrĩria kĩa mwaka.
And Elisha died, and they buried him. And the bands of the Moabites invaded the land at the coming in of the year.
21 Hĩndĩ ĩmwe andũ amwe a Isiraeli magĩthika mũndũ-rĩ, o rĩmwe makĩona gĩkundi kĩa atharĩkĩri; nĩ ũndũ ũcio magĩikia kĩimba kĩa mũndũ ũcio maathikaga mbĩrĩra-inĩ ya Elisha. Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa kĩimba kĩu kĩahutanirie na mahĩndĩ ma Elisha, mũndũ ũcio akĩriũka, akĩrũgama na magũrũ make.
And it came to pass, as they were burying a man, that, behold, they spied a band of men; and they cast the man into the tomb of Elisha: and when the man was let down, and touched the bones of Elisha, he revived, and stood up on his feet.
22 Hazaeli mũthamaki wa Suriata aahinyĩrĩirie Isiraeli matukũ mothe ma ũthamaki wa Jehoahazu.
But Hazael king of Syria oppressed Israel all the days of Jehoahaz.
23 No rĩrĩ, Jehova akĩmatuga na akĩmaiguĩra tha, akĩmarũmbũiya nĩ ũndũ wa kĩrĩkanĩro gĩake na Iburahĩmu, na Isaaka, na Jakubu. Nginyagia ũmũthĩ, akoretwo atekwenda kũmaniina kana kũmaingata mehere mbere yake.
And the LORD was gracious unto them, and had compassion on them, and had respect unto them, because of his covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and would not destroy them, neither cast he them from his presence as yet.
24 Hazaeli mũthamaki wa Suriata agĩkua, nake mũriũ Beni-Hadadi agĩtuĩka mũthamaki ithenya rĩake.
So Hazael king of Syria died; and Benhadad his son reigned in his position.
25 Hĩndĩ ĩyo Jehoashu mũrũ wa Jehoahazu agĩtunya Beni-Hadadi mũrũ wa Hazaeli matũũra marĩa Hazaeli aatahĩte mbaara-inĩ kuuma kũrĩ ithe Jehoahazu. Joashu aamũtooririe maita matatũ, na nĩ ũndũ ũcio agĩcookia matũũra ma Isiraeli.
And Jehoash the son of Jehoahaz took again out of the hand of Benhadad the son of Hazael the cities, which he had taken out of the hand of Jehoahaz his father by war. Three times did Joash beat him, and recovered the cities of Israel.
