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-seventh year of Jeroboam king of Israel, began Azariah son of Amaziah king of Judah to reign.

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 began to reign, and, fifty-two years, reigned he in Jerusalem, —and, the name of his mother, was Jecholiah, of Jerusalem.

3 O soro nzọ ụkwụ nna ya bụ Amazaya, mee ihe ziri ezi nʼanya Onyenwe anyị.

And he did that which was right in the eyes of Yahweh, —according to all that, Amaziah 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.

Only, the high places, took they not away, —still were the people sacrificing and burning incense in 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 Yahweh smote the king, so that he became a leper, until the day of his death, and dwelt in a lazar-house, —and, Jotham, son of the king, was over the house, judging 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?

Now, the rest of the story of Azariah, and all that he did, are, they, not 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 Azariah slept with his fathers, and they buried him with his fathers, in the city of David, —and, Jotham his son, reigned, 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-eighth year of Azariah king of Judah, began Zechariah son of Jeroboam to reign over Israel, in Samaria, [and he reigned] 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 the thing that was wicked in the eyes of Yahweh, as did his fathers, —he turned not away from the sins of Jeroboam son of Nebat, which he caused, Israel, to commit.

10 Shalum nwa Jebesh, na ndị ọzọ, gbara izu ọjọọ megide ya, tigbuo ya nʼihu ndị Izrel niile. Ọ ghọkwara eze mgbe Zekaraya nwụrụ.

Then conspired against him, Shallum son of Jabesh, and smote him before the people, and slew him, —and reigned 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.

Now, the rest of the story of Zechariah, behold it! 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.”

That, was the word of Yahweh, which he spake unto Jehu, saying, Thy sons, to four generations, shall sit on the throne of Israel. And it was so!

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 Jabesh, began to reign, in the thirty-ninth year of Uzziah, king of Judah, —for the space of a month in Samaria.

14 Menahem nwa Gadi sitere nʼobodo Tịaza bịaruo Sameria gbuo Shalum nwa Jebesh ghọọ eze nʼọnọdụ ya.

Then came up Menahem son of Gadi, from Tirzah, and entered Samaria, and smote Shallum son of Jabesh in Samaria, —and slew him, and reigned 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.

Now, the rest of the story of Shallum, and his conspiracy which he made, behold them! written in the book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel!

16 Nʼoge ahụ, Menahem sitere na Tịaza buso obodo Tipsa agha, na onye ọbụla bi nʼobodo ahụ na gburugburu ya nʼihi na ha ekweghị emeghe ọnụ ụzọ ama ha. O tigburu Tifsa kwakọrọ ihe niile, bọwakwaa afọ ndị inyom niile dị ime.

Then, Menahem smote Tiphsah, and all that were therein, and the boundaries thereof, from Tirzah, because they opened not, therefore he smote them, —all the women therein that were with child, 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 thirty-ninth year of Azariah king of Judah, began Menahem son of Gadi to reign over Israel, ten years [reigned he], 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 the thing that was wicked in the eyes of Yahweh, —he turned not away from the sins of Jeroboam son of Nebat, which he caused, Israel, to commit, 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.

Pul the king of Assyria came against the land, so Menahem gave unto Pul, a thousand talents of silver, —that his hands might be with him, to confirm 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 Menahem exacted the silver of Israel, of all the mighty men of wealth, to give to the king of Assyria, fifty shekels of silver, of each man, —so the king of Assyria turned back, 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?

Now, the rest of the story of Menahem, and all that he did, are, they, not 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 Menahem slept with his fathers, —and, Pekahiah his son, reigned in his stead.

23 Nʼafọ nke iri ise, nke ọchịchị eze Azaraya na Juda, ka Pekahaya nwa Menahem bidoro ịchị dịka eze nʼIzrel. Afọ abụọ ka ọ chịrị nʼime Sameria.

In the fiftieth year of Azariah king of Judah, began Pekahiah son of Menahem to reign over Israel, in Samaria, [and he reigned] 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 the thing that was wicked in the eyes of Yahweh, —he turned not away from the sins of Jeroboam son of Nebat, which he caused, Israel, to commit.

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 there conspired against him—Pekah son of Remaliah, a hero of his, and smote him in Samaria, in the citadel of the house of a king, with Argob and with Arieh, and, with him, fifty men of the sons of the Gileadites, —and he slew him, and reigned in his stead.

26 Akụkọ banyere Pekahaya na ihe niile o mere ka e dere nʼakwụkwọ akụkọ ihe ndị eze Izrel mere nʼụbọchị ndụ ha.

Now, the rest of the story of Pekahiah, and all that he did, behold them! written in the book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel!

27 Nʼafọ nke iri ise na abụọ nke ọchịchị Azaraya eze Juda ka Peka nwa Remalaya ghọrọ eze Izrel nʼobodo Sameria. Ọ chịrị dịka eze iri afọ abụọ.

In the fifty-second year of Azariah king of Judah, began Pekah son of Remaliah to reign over Israel, in Samaria, [and he reigned] twenty years.

28 O mere ihe jọrọ njọ nʼanya Onyenwe anyị. O fere chi ọzọ ofufe, o sighị na mmehie Jeroboam nwa Nebat wezuga onwe ya, bụ mmehie nke o dubara ndị Izrel nʼime ya.

And he did the thing that was wicked in the eyes of Yahweh, —he turned not away from the sins of Jeroboam son of Nebat, which he caused, Israel, to commit.

29 Nʼoge Peka bụ eze Izrel, ka Tiglat-Pilesa, eze Asịrịa bịara were Ijon, Ebel-Bet-Maaka, Janoa, Kedesh, Hazọ, Gilead, Galili na ala ndị Naftalị niile. Ọ chụpụrụ ndị mmadụ niile mee ka ha gaa biri nʼAsịrịa.

In the days of Pekah king of Israel, came Tiglath-pileser, king of Assyria, and took Ijon, and Abel-beth-maachah, and Janoah, and Kedesh, and Hazor, and Gilead, and Galilee, all the land of Naphtali—and carried them away captive to Assyria.

30 Nʼoge ahụ, Hoshea nwa Elaa gbara izu ọjọọ megide Peka nwa Remalaya gbuo ya, bụrụ eze nʼọnọdụ ya. Ọ malitere ịbụ eze nʼafọ nke iri abụọ nke ọchịchị eze Jotam nwa Uzaya.

And Hoshea son of Elah made a conspiracy against Pekah, son of Remaliah, and smote him, and slew him, and reigned in his stead, —in the twentieth year of Jotham, son of Uzziah.

31 Akụkọ banyere Peka na ihe niile o mere, e deghị ha nʼakwụkwọ akụkọ ihe ndị eze Izrel niile mere nʼụbọchị ndụ ha?

Now, the rest of the story of Pekah, and all that he did, behold them! written in the book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel!

32 Nʼafọ nke abụọ nke ọchịchị Peka nwa Remalaya eze Izrel ka Jotam nwa Ụzaya eze Juda malitere ọchịchị ya.

In the second year of Pekah son of Remaliah king of Israel, began Jotham son of Uzziah king of Judah to reign.

33 Ọ gbara iri afọ abụọ na ise mgbe ọ ghọrọ eze. Ọ chịrị afọ iri na isii na Jerusalem. Aha nne ya bụ Jerusha, nwa Zadọk.

Twenty-five years old, was he, when he began to reign, and, sixteen years, reigned he, in Jerusalem, —and, the name of his mother, was Jerusha, daughter of Zadok.

34 O mere ihe ziri ezi nʼanya Onyenwe anyị dịka nna ya Ụzaya mere.

And he did that which was right in the eyes of Yahweh, —according to all that Uzziah his father had done.

35 Kama, o wezugaghị ebe ịchụ aja dị nʼelu ugwu, ndị mmadụ gara nʼihu na-achụ aja nsure ọkụ dị iche iche na aja na-esi isi ụtọ nʼebe ahụ. Jotam wugharịrị Ọnụ Ụzọ ama nke dị Elu nke ụlọnsọ ukwu Onyenwe anyị.

Only, the high places, took they not away, still were the people offering sacrifice and burning incense in the high places, —he, built the upper gate of the house of Yahweh.

36 Ma banyere ihe ndị ọzọ niile nke oge ọchịchị Jotam na ihe o mere, ọ bụ na e deghị ha nʼakwụkwọ akụkọ ihe mere nʼoge ndị eze Juda?

Now, the rest of the story of Jotham, what he did, is, it, not written in the book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah?

37 (Nʼụbọchị ndị ahụ, Onyenwe anyị malitere izite Rezin eze ndị Aram na Peka nwa Remalaya, imegide ndị Juda.)

In those days, began Yahweh to send against Judah, Rezin, king of Syria, —and Pekah son of Remaliah.

38 Jotam sooro ndị nna nna ya ha dina nʼọnwụ, e lie ya nʼebe e liri ha, nʼobodo Devid, bụ obodo nna ya. Ehaz nwa ya nwoke ghọrọ eze nʼọnọdụ ya.

And Jotham slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers, in the city of David his father, —and, Ahaz his son, reigned, in his stead.
