2 Ndị Eze 15
1 Nʼafọ nke iri abụọ na asaa nke ọchịchị Jeroboam nʼIzrel ka Azaraya nwa Amazaya bidoro ịchị dịka eze na Juda.
In the twenty and seventh year of Jerobo'am the king of Israel became 'Azaryah, the son of Amazyah king of Judah, king.
2 Ọ gbara afọ iri na isii mgbe ọ malitere ị bụ eze. Ọ chịkwara na Jerusalem iri afọ ise na abụọ. Aha nne ya bụ Jekolaya, onye Jerusalem.
Sixteen years old was he when he became king, and two and fifty years did he reign in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Yecholyahu of Jerusalem.
3 O soro nzọ ụkwụ nna ya bụ Amazaya, mee ihe ziri ezi nʼanya Onyenwe anyị.
And he did what is right in the eyes of the Lord, in accordance with all that Amazyahu his father had done;
4 Kama dịka eze ndị ọzọ, o wezugaghị ebe ịchụ aja dị nʼelu ugwu; ndị mmadụ gara nʼihu na-achụ aja nsure ọkụ na aja na-esi isi ụtọ nʼebe ahụ.
Nevertheless the high-places were not removed: as yet the people sacrificed and burnt incense on the high-places.
5 Onyenwe anyị tiri eze ihe otiti ọrịa ekpenta ruo ụbọchị ọnwụ ya. O biri nʼụlọ ewupụrụ iche. Jotam nwa nwoke eze ghọrọ onye nlekọta ụlọeze na-achịkwa ndị ala ahụ.
And the Lord afflicted the king with leprosy, and he was a leper unto the day of his death, and he dwelt in the leper-house. And Jotham the king's son was over the house, [and] judged the people of the land.
6 Ma banyere ihe ndị ọzọ niile mere nʼoge ọchịchị Azaraya, na ihe niile o mere, ọ bụ na e deghị ha nʼakwụkwọ akụkọ ihe mere nʼoge ndị eze Juda?
And the rest of the acts of 'Azaryahu, and all that he did, behold, they are written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah.
7 Azaraya soro ndị nna nna ya dina nʼọnwụ, e lie ya nso nʼebe e liri ha, nʼime obodo Devid. Jotam nwa ya ghọrọ eze nʼọnọdụ ya.
And 'Azaryah slept with his fathers; and they buried him with his fathers in the city of David: and Jotham his son became king in his stead.
8 Nʼafọ nke iri atọ na asatọ nke ọchịchị eze Azaraya bụ eze Juda, ka Zekaraya, nwa Jeroboam ghọrọ eze Izrel na Sameria. Ọ chịrị ọnwa isii.
In the thirty and eighth year of 'Azaryahu the king of Judah became Zechariah the son of Jerobo'am king over Israel in Samaria [for] six months.
9 Dịka ndị nna ya bu ya ụzọ si mee, Zekaraya mere ihe jọrọ njọ nʼanya Onyenwe anyị. O mekwara dịka Jeroboam nwa Nebat, onye dubara ndị Izrel na mmehie ịkpọ isiala nye chi ọzọ.
And he did what is evil in the eyes of the Lord, as his fathers had done: he departed not from the sins of Jerobo'am the son of Nebat, who induced Israel to sin.
10 Shalum nwa Jebesh, na ndị ọzọ, gbara izu ọjọọ megide ya, tigbuo ya nʼihu ndị Izrel niile. Ọ ghọkwara eze mgbe Zekaraya nwụrụ.
And Shallum the son of Yabesh conspired against him, and smote him before the people, and put him to death, and became king in his stead.
11 Akụkọ metụtara ihe ndị ọzọ mere mgbe Zekaraya bụ eze, e deghị ha nʼakwụkwọ akụkọ ihe ndị eze Izrel mere nʼụbọchị ndụ ha.
And the rest of the acts of Zechariah, behold, they are written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel.
12 Ya mere, okwu ahụ Onyenwe anyị gwara Jehu mezuru, nke bụ: “Ụmụ ụmụ gị ga-anọkwasị nʼocheeze Izrel ruo nʼọgbọ nke anọ ha.”
This was the word of the Lord which he spoke unto Jehu, saying, Sons of the fourth generation shall sit after thee on the throne of Israel. And so it came to pass.
13 Shalum nwa Jebesh malitere ịbụ eze nʼafọ nke iri atọ na itoolu nke ọchịchị Uzaya eze Juda. Ọ chịrị otu ọnwa na Sameria.
Shallum the son of Yabesh became king in the nine and thirtieth year of 'Uzziyah the king of Judah; and he reigned for the space of one month in Samaria.
14 Menahem nwa Gadi sitere nʼobodo Tịaza bịaruo Sameria gbuo Shalum nwa Jebesh ghọọ eze nʼọnọdụ ya.
Then went up Menachem the son of Gadi from Thirzah, and came to Samaria, and smote Shallum the son of Yabesh in Samaria, and put him to death, and became king in his stead.
15 Akụkọ ndị ọzọ gbasara Shalum na izu ọjọọ ya, e deghị ha nʼakwụkwọ ihe mere nʼoge ndị eze Izrel na-achị.
And the rest of the acts of Shallum, and his conspiracy which he made, behold, they are written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel.

At that time did Menachem smite Thiphsach, and all that was therein, and its territory from Thirzah; because they opened not to him, he smote it; and all the pregnant women therein he ripped up.
17 Nʼafọ iri atọ na itoolu nke Azaraya, eze Juda, Menahem nwa Gadi ghọrọ eze ọhụrụ ndị Izrel. Ọ chịrị afọ iri dịka eze na Sameria.
In the nine and thirtieth year of 'Azaryah the king of Judah became Menachem the son of Gadi king over Israel, [for] ten years, in Samaria.
18 O mere ihe jọrọ njọ nʼanya Onyenwe anyị. Nʼoge ọchịchị ya, o sighị na mmehie Jeroboam nwa Nebat wezuga onwe ya, bụ nke o mere ka Izrel mehie.
And he did what is evil in the eyes of the Lord: he departed not from the sins of Jerobo'am the son of Nebat, who induced Israel to sin, all his days.
19 Mgbe ahụ, Pul eze Asịrịa busoro ala ahụ agha. Menahem nyere ya otu puku talenti ọlaọcha, ime ka Pul kwagide ọchịchị ya, na ime ka aka ya siekwa ike nʼalaeze Izrel.
[Then] came Pul the king of Assyria against the land: and Menachem gave Pul a thousand talents of silver, that his hand might be with him to strengthen the kingdom in his hand.
20 Menahem si nʼaka ndị Izrel nweta ego a. Onye ọgaranya ọbụla tụrụ iri shekel ọlaọcha ise nke e nyere eze Asịrịa. Mgbe eze Asịrịa natachara ọlaọcha ndị a, o si nʼala ahụ pụọ, ọ nọgidekwaghị nʼala ahụ.
And Menachem exacted the money from all Israel, from all the mighty men of the army, to give to the king of Assyria, fifty shekels of silver from every man; and the king of Assyria then returned and stayed not there in the land.
21 Akụkọ banyere Menahem na ihe niile o mere, e deghị ha nʼakwụkwọ akụkọ ihe ndị eze Izrel mere nʼụbọchị ndụ ha?
And the rest of the acts of Menachem, and all that he did, behold, they are written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel.
22 Menahem sooro ndị nna nna ya ha dina nʼọnwụ, Pekahaya nwa ya ghọrọ eze nʼọnọdụ ya.
And Menachem slept with his fathers; and Pekachyah his son became king in his stead.

In the fiftieth year of 'Azaryah the king of Judah became Pekachyah the son of Menachem king over Israel in Samaria, [for] two years.
24 Ma Pekahaya mere ihe ọjọọ nʼanya Onyenwe anyị. O sighị na mmehie niile nke Jeroboam nwa Nebat wezuga onwe ya, bụ nke o jiri mee ka Izrel mehie.
And he did what is evil m the eyes of the Lord: he departed not from the sins of Jerobo'am the son of Nebat, who induced Israel to sin.
25 Ma Peka nwa Remalaya, otu nʼime ndịisi agha eze na iri ndị ikom ise ọzọ si Gilead gbara izu megide ya, gbuo ya nʼụlọeze dị nʼime Sameria. Ha gbukwara Agob na Arie nʼoge a ha gburu Pekahaya. Emesịa, Peka ghọrọ eze nʼọnọdụ ya.
And Pekach the son of Remalyahu, an officer of his, conspired against him, and smote him in Samaria, in the fortress of the king's house, with the aid of Argob and the Aryeh, and with him were fifty men of the children of the Gil'adites: and he put him to death, and became king in his stead.

In the days of Pekach the king of Israel came Tiglath-pilesser the king of Assyria, and took 'Iyon, and Abel-beth, ma'achah, and Yanoach, and Kedesh, and Chazor, and Gil'ad, and Galilee, all the land of Naphtali, and led them away as exiles to Assyria.

34 O mere ihe ziri ezi nʼanya Onyenwe anyị dịka nna ya Ụzaya mere.
And he did what is right in the eyes of the Lord: in accordance with all that 'Uzziyahu his father had done, [so] did he.
