2 Athamaki 8
1 Na rĩrĩ, Elisha akĩĩra mũtumia ũrĩa aariũkĩirie mwana atĩrĩ, “Thiĩ hamwe na andũ a nyũmba yaku mũgaikare kwa ihinda kũrĩa mũngĩhota gũikara, tondũ Jehova nĩatuĩte kũgĩe ngʼaragu bũrũri-inĩ ũyũ, ĩrĩa ĩkũniina mĩaka mũgwanja.”
Now Elisha had said to the woman whose son he had given back to life, Go now, with all the people of your house, and get a living-place for yourselves wherever you are able; for by the word of the Lord, there will be great need of food in the land; and this will go on for seven years.
2 Nake mũtumia ũcio agĩĩka o ta ũrĩa mũndũ wa Ngai oigĩte. We mwene na andũ a nyũmba yake magĩthiĩ na magĩikara bũrũri wa Afilisti mĩaka mũgwanja.
So the woman got up and did as the man of God said; and she and the people of her house were living in the land of the Philistines for seven years.
3 Na rĩrĩ, mĩaka mũgwanja yathira-rĩ, akiuma bũrũri wa Afilisti, agĩthiĩ kũrĩ mũthamaki kũmũthaitha nĩ ũndũ wa nyũmba na gĩthaka gĩake.
And when the seven years were ended, the woman came back from the land of the Philistines and went to the king with a request for her house and her land.
4 Mũthamaki aaragia na Gehazi, ndungata ya mũndũ wa Ngai, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Ta njĩĩra maũndũ mothe manene marĩa Elisha aaneka.”
Now the king was talking with Gehazi, the servant of the man of God, saying, Now, give me an account of all the great things Elisha has done.
5 O rĩrĩa Gehazi eeraga mũthamaki ũrĩa Elisha aariũkirie mũndũ-rĩ, mũtumia ũrĩa wariũkĩirio mũriũ nĩ Elisha agĩũka gũthaitha mũthamaki nĩ ũndũ wa nyũmba na gĩthaka gĩake. Nake Gehazi akiuga atĩrĩ, “Mũthamaki mwathi wakwa, ũyũ nĩwe mũtumia ũcio, na mũriũ ũrĩa wariũkirio nĩ Elisha nĩwe ũyũ.”
And while he was giving the king the story of how Elisha had given life to the dead, the woman whose son had come back to life came to the king with a request for her house and her land. And Gehazi said, My lord king, this is the woman and this is her son, whose life Elisha gave back to him.
6 Nake mũthamaki akĩũria mũtumia ũhoro ũcio, nake akĩmũhe ũhoro. Ningĩ mũthamaki akĩĩra mũnene ũmwe wake ũhoro wa mũtumia ũcio, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Mũcookerie kĩrĩa gĩothe kĩarĩ gĩake, hamwe na uumithio wothe wa gĩthaka gĩake, kuuma mũthenya ũrĩa oimire bũrũri ũyũ o nginya rĩu.”
And in answer to the king's questions, the woman gave him all the story. So the king gave orders to one of his unsexed servants, saying, Give her back all her property, and all the produce of her fields from the day when she went away from the land up till now.
7 Na rĩrĩ, Elisha agĩthiĩ Dameski, nake Beni-Hadadi mũthamaki wa Suriata aarĩ mũrũaru. Rĩrĩa mũthamaki eerirwo atĩrĩ, “Mũndũ wa Ngai nĩokĩte nginya gũkũ,”
And Elisha came to Damascus; and Ben-hadad, king of Aram, was ill; and they said to him, The man of God has come.
8 akĩĩra Hazaeli atĩrĩ, “Oya kĩheo, ũthiĩ ũtũnge mũndũ wa Ngai. Tuĩria ũhoro harĩ Jehova na ũndũ wake; mũũrie atĩrĩ, ‘Niĩ nĩngũhona ndwari ĩno?’”
Then the king said to Hazael, Take an offering with you, and go to see the man of God and get directions from the Lord by him, saying, Am I going to get better from my disease?
9 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Hazaeli agĩthiĩ gũtũnga Elisha, akuuĩte kĩheo kĩa indo iria njega cia Dameski, ikuuĩtwo nĩ ngamĩĩra mĩrongo ĩna. Hazaeli agĩthiĩ, akĩrũgama mbere ya Elisha, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Mũrũguo Beni-Hadadi mũthamaki wa Suriata nĩwe wandũma ngũũrie atĩrĩ, ‘Niĩ nĩngũhona ndwari ĩno?’”
So Hazael went to see him, taking with him forty camels with offerings on their backs of every sort of good thing from Damascus; and when he came before him, he said, Your son Ben-hadad, king of Aram, has sent me to you, saying, Will I get better from this disease?
10 Nake Elisha agĩcookia atĩrĩ, “Thiĩ ũmwĩre atĩrĩ, ‘Ti-itherũ nĩũkũhona’; no Jehova nĩanguũrĩirie atĩ no egũkua.”
And Elisha said to him, Go, say to him, You will certainly get better; but the Lord has made it clear to me that only death is before him.
11 Elisha akĩmũkũũrĩra maitho amũrorete nginya Hazaeli agĩconoka. Nake mũndũ wa Ngai akĩambĩrĩria kũrĩra.
And he kept his eyes fixed on him till he was shamed, and the man of God was overcome with weeping.
12 Nake Hazaeli akĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Nĩ kĩĩ kĩratũma mwathi wakwa arĩre?” Nake agĩcookia atĩrĩ, “Nĩ ũndũ nĩnjũũĩ ũũru ũrĩa ũkaarehere andũ a Isiraeli. Nĩũgacina ciĩgitĩro ciao iria nũmu, na ũũrage aanake ao na rũhiũ rwa njora, ũtungumanie twana twao thĩ, na ũtarũre nda cia andũ-a-nja arĩa marĩ nda.”
And Hazael said, Why is my lord weeping? Then he said in answer, Because I see the evil which you will do to the children of Israel: burning down their strong towns, putting their young men to death with the sword, smashing their little ones against the stones, and cutting open the women who are with child.
13 Nake Hazaeli akĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Ndungata ĩno yaku ĩtariĩ ta ngui-rĩ, yahota atĩa gwĩka ũndũ mũnene ũguo?” Nake Elisha akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Jehova nĩanyonetie atĩ nĩũgatuĩka mũthamaki wa Suriata.”
And Hazael said, How is it possible that your servant, who is only a dog, will do this great thing? And Elisha said, The Lord has made it clear to me that you will be king over Aram.
14 Ningĩ Hazaeli agĩtigana na Elisha agĩcooka kũrĩ mwathi wake. Rĩrĩa Beni-Hadadi aamũũririe atĩrĩ, “Elisha akwĩrire atĩa?” Hazaeli akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Anjĩĩrire ti-itherũ nĩũkũhona.”
Then he went away from Elisha and came in to his master, who said to him, What did Elisha say to you? And his answer was, He said that you would certainly get well.
15 No mũthenya ũyũ ũngĩ Hazaeli akĩoya taama mũritũ, akĩũtobokia maaĩ-inĩ, akĩhumbĩra mũthamaki ũthiũ naguo, o nginya agĩkua. Nake Hazaeli agĩthamaka ithenya rĩake.
Now on the day after, Hazael took the bed-cover, and making it wet with water, put it over Ben-hadad's face, causing his death: and Hazael became king in his place.
16 Mwaka-inĩ wa ĩtano wa wathani wa Joramu mũrũ wa Ahabu mũthamaki wa Isiraeli-rĩ, Jehoramu mũrũ wa Jehoshafatu akĩambĩrĩria gũthamaka Juda.
In the fifth year of Joram, the son of Ahab, king of Israel, Jehoram, the son of Jehoshaphat, king of Judah, became king.
17 Jehoramu aarĩ na ũkũrũ wa mĩaka mĩrongo ĩtatũ na ĩĩrĩ rĩrĩa aatuĩkire mũthamaki, na agĩthamaka arĩ Jerusalemu mĩaka ĩnana.
He was thirty-two years old when he became king; and he was ruling in Jerusalem for eight years.
18 Nĩathiire na mĩthiĩre ya athamaki a Isiraeli, o ta ũrĩa nyũmba ya Ahabu yekĩte, nĩgũkorwo aahikirie mwarĩ wa Ahabu. Nĩekire maũndũ mooru maitho-inĩ ma Jehova.
He went in the ways of the kings of Israel, as the family of Ahab did: for the daughter of Ahab was his wife; and he did evil in the eyes of the Lord.
19 No rĩrĩ, nĩ ũndũ wa ndungata yake Daudi, Jehova ndeendaga kwananga Juda. Nĩeranĩire atĩ nĩegũtũũria tawa nĩ ũndũ wa Daudi na njiaro ciake nginya tene.
But it was not the Lord's purpose to send destruction on Judah, because of David his servant, to whom he had given his word that he would have a light for ever.
20 Mahinda ma Jehoramu-rĩ, andũ a Edomu nĩmaremeire Juda na makĩgĩa na mũthamaki wao ene.
In his time, Edom made themselves free from the rule of Judah, and took a king for themselves.
21 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Jehoramu agĩthiĩ Zairu hamwe na ngaari ciake ciothe cia ita. Andũ a Edomu makĩmũrigiicĩria hamwe na anene a ngaari ciake cia ita, no agĩũkĩra na akĩũra ũtukũ; narĩo ita rĩake, o na kũrĩ o ũguo, rĩkĩũra rĩgĩcooka mũciĩ.
Then Joram went over to Zair, with all his war-carriages; ... made an attack by night on the Edomites, whose forces were all round him, ... the captains of the war-carriages; and the people went in flight to their tents.
22 Nginyagia ũmũthĩ andũ a Edomu matũũraga maremeire Juda. Andũ a Libina o nao makĩrega watho wa Juda o ihinda-inĩ rĩu.
So Edom made themselves free from the rule of Judah to this day. And at the same time, Libnah made itself free.
23 Maũndũ marĩa mangĩ makoniĩ wathani wa Jehoramu, na marĩa mothe eekire, githĩ matiandĩkĩtwo ibuku-inĩ rĩa maũndũ ma mahinda ma athamaki a Juda?
Now the rest of the acts of Joram, and all he did, are they not recorded in the book of the history of the kings of Judah?
24 Nake Jehoramu akĩhurũka hamwe na maithe make na agĩthikwo hamwe nao itũũra-inĩ rĩa Daudi. Nake mũriũ Ahazia agĩtuĩka mũthamaki ithenya rĩake.
And Joram went to rest with his fathers and was put into the earth with his fathers in the town of David: and Ahaziah his son became king in his place.
25 Mwaka-inĩ wa ikũmi na ĩĩrĩ wa wathani wa Joramu mũrũ wa Ahabu mũthamaki wa Isiraeli-rĩ, Ahazia mũrũ wa Jehoramu mũthamaki wa Juda nĩguo ambĩrĩirie gũthamaka.
In the twelfth year that Joram, the son of Ahab, was king of Israel, Ahaziah, the son of Jehoram, king of Judah, became king;
26 Ahazia aarĩ na ũkũrũ wa mĩaka mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ na ĩĩrĩ rĩrĩa aatuĩkire mũthamaki, na agĩthamaka arĩ Jerusalemu mwaka ũmwe. Nyina eetagwo Athalia, mwarĩ wa mwana wa Omuri mũthamaki wa Isiraeli.
Ahaziah was twenty-two years old when he became king, and he was ruling in Jerusalem for one year. His mother's name was Athaliah, the daughter of Omri, king of Israel.
27 Nake Ahazia agĩthiĩ na mĩthiĩre ya nyũmba ya Ahabu, na agĩĩka ũũru maitho-inĩ ma Jehova o ta ũrĩa nyũmba ya Ahabu yekĩte, nĩgũkorwo nĩmatarainie na nyũmba ya Ahabu nĩ ũndũ wa kũhikania kuo.
He went in the ways of the family of Ahab, and did evil in the eyes of the Lord as the family of Ahab did, for he was a son-in-law of the family of Ahab.
28 Ahazia nĩmathiire na Joramu mũrũ wa Ahabu nĩguo makarũe na Hazaeli mũthamaki wa Suriata kũu Ramothu-Gileadi. Nao Asuriata makĩguraria Joramu;
He went with Joram, the son of Ahab, to make war on Hazael, king of Aram, at Ramoth-gilead: and Joram was wounded by the Aramaeans.
29 nĩ ũndũ ũcio Mũthamaki Joramu akĩhũndũka, agĩthiĩ Jezireeli nĩguo akahonie nguraro iria aagurarĩtio nĩ Asuriata kũu Ramothu makĩrũa na Hazaeli mũthamaki wa Suriata. Hĩndĩ ĩyo Ahazia mũrũ wa Jehoramu mũthamaki wa Juda agĩikũrũka, agĩthiĩ Jezireeli akarore Joramu mũrũ wa Ahabu, tondũ nĩagurarĩtio.
So King Joram went back to Jezreel to get well from the wounds which the bowmen had given him at Ramah, when he was fighting against Hazael, king of Aram. And Ahaziah, the son of Jehoram, king of Judah, went down to see Joram, the son of Ahab, in Jezreel, because he was ill.
