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 spoken to the woman, whose son he had restored to life, saying, "Arise, and go, you and your household, and stay for a while wherever you can; for the LORD has called for a famine. It shall also come on the land 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.
The woman arose, and did according to the word of the man of God. She went with her household, and lived in the land of the Philistines seven years.
3 Na rĩrĩ, mĩaka mũgwanja yathira-rĩ, akiuma bũrũri wa Afilisti, agĩthiĩ kũrĩ mũthamaki kũmũthaitha nĩ ũndũ wa nyũmba na gĩthaka gĩake.
It happened at the seven years' end, that the woman returned out of the land of the Philistines. Then she went forth to cry to the king for her house and for 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, "Please tell me all the great things that 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.”
It happened, as he was telling the king how he had restored to life him who was dead, that look, the woman, whose son he had restored to life, cried to the king for her house and for her land. Gehazi said, "My lord, O king, this is the woman, and this is her son, whom Elisha restored to life."
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.”
When the king asked the woman, she told him. So the king appointed to her a certain officer, saying, "Restore all that was hers, and all the fruits of the field since the day that she left the land, even until 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,”
Elisha came to Damascus; and Benhadad the king of Aram was sick. It was told him, saying, "The man of God has come here."
8 akĩĩra Hazaeli atĩrĩ, “Oya kĩheo, ũthiĩ ũtũnge mũndũ wa Ngai. Tuĩria ũhoro harĩ Jehova na ũndũ wake; mũũrie atĩrĩ, ‘Niĩ nĩngũhona ndwari ĩno?’”
The king said to Hazael, "Take a present in your hand, and go, meet the man of God, and inquire of the LORD by him, saying, 'Will I recover from this sickness?'"
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 meet him, and took a present with him, even of every good thing of Damascus, forty camels' burden, and came and stood before him, and said, "Your son Benhadad king of Aram has sent me to you, saying, 'Will I recover from this sickness?'"
10 Nake Elisha agĩcookia atĩrĩ, “Thiĩ ũmwĩre atĩrĩ, ‘Ti-itherũ nĩũkũhona’; no Jehova nĩanguũrĩirie atĩ no egũkua.”
Elisha said to him, "Go, say to him, 'You shall surely recover;' however the LORD has shown me that he shall surely die."
11 Elisha akĩmũkũũrĩra maitho amũrorete nginya Hazaeli agĩconoka. Nake mũndũ wa Ngai akĩambĩrĩria kũrĩra.
He settled his gaze steadfastly on him, until he was ashamed. Then the man of God wept.
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.”
Hazael said, "Why do you weep, my lord?" He answered, "Because I know the evil that you will do to the children of Israel. You will set their strongholds on fire, and you will kill their young men with the sword, and will dash in pieces their little ones, and rip up their women 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.”
Hazael said, "But what is your servant, who is but a dog, that he should do this great thing?" Elisha answered, "The LORD has shown 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 departed from Elisha, and came to his master, who said to him, "What did Elisha say to you?" He answered, "He told me that you would surely recover."
15 No mũthenya ũyũ ũngĩ Hazaeli akĩoya taama mũritũ, akĩũtobokia maaĩ-inĩ, akĩhumbĩra mũthamaki ũthiũ naguo, o nginya agĩkua. Nake Hazaeli agĩthamaka ithenya rĩake.
It happened on the next day, that he took a thick cloth, dipped it in water, and spread it on his face, so that he died. Then Hazael reigned 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, Jehoshaphat then being king of Judah, Jehoram the son of Jehoshaphat king of Judah began to reign.
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 began to reign. He reigned eight years in Jerusalem.
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 walked in the way of the kings of Israel, as did the house of Ahab; for he had the daughter of Ahab as wife. He did that which was evil in the sight 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.
However the LORD would not destroy Judah, for David his servant's sake, as he promised him to give to him a lamp for his children always.
20 Mahinda ma Jehoramu-rĩ, andũ a Edomu nĩmaremeire Juda na makĩgĩa na mũthamaki wao ene.
In his days Edom revolted from under the hand of Judah, and made a king over 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 passed over to Zair, and all his chariots with him: and he rose up by night, and struck the Edomites who surrounded him, and the captains of the chariots; and the people fled 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 revolted from under the hand of Judah to this day. Then Libnah revolted at the same time.
23 Maũndũ marĩa mangĩ makoniĩ wathani wa Jehoramu, na marĩa mothe eekire, githĩ matiandĩkĩtwo ibuku-inĩ rĩa maũndũ ma mahinda ma athamaki a Juda?
The rest of the acts of Joram, and all that he did, aren't they written in the book of the chronicles 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.
Joram slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the City of David; and Ahaziah his son reigned 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 of Joram the son of Ahab king of Israel, Ahaziah the son of Jehoram king of Judah began to reign.
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.
Twenty-two years old was Ahaziah when he began to reign; and he reigned one year in Jerusalem. 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 walked in the way of the house of Ahab, and did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, as did the house of Ahab; for he was the son-in-law of the house 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 war against Hazael king of Aram at Ramoth Gilead: and the Arameans wounded Joram.
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.
King Joram returned to be healed in Jezreel of the wounds which the Arameans had given him at Ramah, when he fought against Hazael king of Aram. Ahaziah the son of Jehoram king of Judah went down to see Joram the son of Ahab in Jezreel, because he was sick.
