2 Ndị Eze 8
1 Ịlaisha gwara nwanyị ahụ o mere ka nwa ya si nʼọnwụ bilie okwu sị ya, “Bilie, gị na ezinaụlọ gị, gaa nʼobodo ọzọ ebe unu ga-anọ dịka ọbịa nʼihi na Onyenwe anyị ekwuola na oke ụnwụ ga-adakwasị ala Izrel afọ asaa.”
Then Elisha spoke to the woman, whose son he had restored to life, saying, Arise, and go thou and thy household, and sojourn wherever thou canst sojourn: for the LORD hath called for a famine; and it shall also come upon the land seven years.
2 Nwanyị ahụ mere dịka onye nke Chineke gwara ya, o biliri, ya na ezinaụlọ ya gaa biri nʼala ndị Filistia afọ asaa.
And the woman arose, and did according to the saying of the man of God: and she went with her household, and sojourned in the land of the Philistines seven years.
3 Mgbe ụnwụ ahụ gwụsịrị nʼafọ nke asaa, o si nʼala ndị Filistia lọta nʼIzrel. Mgbe ọ lọtara, o jekwuuru eze ka o nyere ya aka inwetaghachi ụlọ ya na ala ya.
And it came to pass at the seven years' end, that the woman returned from the land of the Philistines: and she went forth to cry to the king for her house, and for her land.
4 Mgbe nwanyị ahụ bịakwutere eze, eze nọ na-agwa Gehazi bụ onye na-ejere onye nke Chineke ozi okwu sị ya, “Biko, kọọrọ m akụkọ ihe ukwu niile Ịlaisha mere.”
And the king talked with Gehazi the servant of the man of God, saying, Tell me, I pray thee, all the great things that Elisha hath done.
5 Mgbe Gehazi na-akọrọ eze otu Ịlaisha si mee ka nwantakịrị nwụrụ anwụ dị ndụ ọzọ, nwanyị ahụ, onye bụ nne nwantakịrị ahụ, batara nʼime ụlọeze. Mgbe ahụ, Gehazi kwuru sị, “Onyenwe m eze, onye a bụ nwanyị ahụ, leekwa nwa ya nwoke, onye Ịlaisha mere ka ọ dị ndụ ọzọ.”
And it came to pass, as he was telling the king how he had restored a dead body to life, that behold, the woman, whose son he had restored to life, cried to the king for her house and for her land. And Gehazi said, My lord, O king, this [is] the woman, and this [is] her son, whom Elisha restored to life.
6 Eze jụrụ nwanyị ahụ ajụjụ sị ya, “Ọ bụ eziokwu?” Nwanyị ahụ kọọrọ eze akụkọ ihe niile mere. Mgbe ahụ, eze dunyere ya otu onyeisi nʼime ndị ozi ya ka o nyere ya aka inwetaghachi ihe ya niile, ya na ụgwọ ruru ya nʼihi mkpụrụ ubi ya niile ha ghọrọ mgbe ahụ o bi nʼala ndị Filistia.
And 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 till now.
7 Mgbe ihe ndị a gasịrị Ịlaisha gara Damaskọs, isi obodo ndị Siria. Nʼoge a, Ben-Hadad eze Aram, na-arịa ọrịa. “A gara gwa eze na onye nke Chineke abịala nʼebe ahụ.”
And Elisha came to Damascus; and Ben-hadad the king of Syria was sick; and it was told to him, saying, The man of God hath come hither.
8 Mgbe eze nụrụ ya, ọ kpọrọ Hazael sị ya, “Were onyinye ịnata ihuọma nʼaka gị wegara onye nke Chineke, site nʼaka ya jụta Onyenwe anyị ase. Jụọ ya, ‘M ga-esi nʼọrịa a bilie?’”
And the king said to Hazael, Take a present in thy hand, and go, meet the man of God, and inquire of the LORD by him, saying, Shall I recover of this disease?
9 Hazael weere iri ịnyịnya kamel anọ buru ezi ihe niile si nʼala Damaskọs, wetara Ịlaisha onyinye ndị a sị ya, “Nwa gị Ben-Hadad, eze Aram, zitere ka m jụọ gị sị, ‘M ga-esi nʼọrịa a bilie?’”
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, Thy son Ben-hadad king of Syria hath sent me to thee, saying, Shall I recover of this disease?
10 Ịlaisha zara sị ya, “Laa, gaa gwa ya sị ya, ‘Ị ga-esi nʼọrịa bilie.’ Ma Onyenwe anyị egosila m na, nʼezie, ọ ga-anwụ.”
And Elisha said to him, Go, say to him, Thou mayest certainly recover: but the LORD hath showed me, that he shall surely die.
11 Mgbe Ịlaisha nọ na-ekwu okwu a, o legidere Hazael anya nʼihu tutu ruo mgbe ihere mere ya. Mgbe ahụ, onye nke Chineke kwara akwa.
And he settled his countenance steadfastly, until he was ashamed: and the man of God wept.
12 Mgbe ahụ, Hazael jụrụ Ịlaisha ajụjụ sị, “Ọ bụ gịnị mere onyenwe m ji akwa akwa?” Ịlaisha zara sị ya, “Nʼihi na amaara m ihe ọjọọ ị ga-eme ụmụ Izrel nʼoge dị nʼihu. Ị ga-akpọ obodo niile ha e wusiri ike ọkụ, jiri mma agha gbuo ụmụ okorobịa ha. Ị ga-atụpịa ụmụntakịrị na-aṅụ ara, bọwakwaa afọ ndị inyom dị ime.”
And Hazael said, Why weepeth my lord? And he answered, Because I know the evil that thou wilt do to the children of Israel: their strong holds wilt thou set on fire, and their young men wilt thou slay with the sword, and wilt dash their children, and rip up their women with child.
13 Hazael sịrị, “Olee otu ọrụ gị, bụ nkịta efu, ga-esi nwee ike imezu ihe ukwuu a?” Ịlaisha zara, “Onyenwe anyị egosila m na ị ga-abụ eze Aram.”
And Hazael said, But what, [is] thy servant a dog, that he should do this great thing? And Elisha answered, The LORD hath shown me that thou [wilt be] king over Syria.
14 Mgbe Hazael, si nʼebe Ịlaisha nọ laa, ọ bịakwutere nna ya ukwu. Mgbe Ben-Hadad jụrụ ya sị, “Gịnị ka Ịlaisha gwara gị?” Hazael zara sị, “Ọ gwara m na ị ga-esi nʼọrịa bilie.”
So he departed from Elisha, and came to his master; who said to him, What said Elisha to thee? And he answered, He told me [that] thou shouldest surely recover.
15 Ma nʼechi ya, Hazael chịịrị akwa na-egbo oyi, banye ya na mmiri jiri ya baa nʼebe eze dina, gbasaa ya nʼihu eze, tutu ruo mgbe ọ nwụrụ. Emesịa, Hazael ghọrọ eze nʼọnọdụ ya.
And it came to pass on the morrow, that he took a thick cloth, and dipped [it] in water, and spread [it] on his face, so that he died: and Hazael reigned in his stead.
16 Nʼafọ nke ise nke ọchịchị Joram nwa Ehab eze Izrel, mgbe Jehoshafat bụ eze Juda, ka Jehoram nwa Jehoshafat malitere ọchịchị ya dịka eze Juda.
And in the fifth year of Joram the son of Ahab king of Israel, Jehoshaphat [being] then king of Judah, Jehoram the son of Jehoshaphat king of Judah began to reign.
17 Ọ dị iri afọ atọ na abụọ mgbe ọ malitere ịbụ eze, ọ chịrị afọ asatọ na Jerusalem.
Thirty and two years old was he when he began to reign; and he reigned eight years in Jerusalem.
18 O soro ụzọ ndị eze Izrel dịka ụlọ Ehab mere, nʼihi na ọ lụrụ ada Ehab. O mere ihe dị njọ nʼanya Onyenwe anyị.
And he walked in the way of the kings of Israel, as did the house of Ahab: for the daughter of Ahab was his wife: and he did evil in the sight of the LORD.
19 Ma nʼagbanyeghị nke a, nʼihi ohu ya bụ Devid Onyenwe anyị achọghị ibibi Juda. Nʼihi na o kwere nkwa ime ka oriọna dịịrị Devid na ụmụ ụmụ ruo mgbe ebighị ebi.
Yet the LORD would not destroy Judah, for David his servant's sake, as he promised him to give him always a light, [and] to his children.
20 Nʼoge Jehoram bụ eze, ka Edọm si nʼokpuru Juda nupu isi, họpụtara onwe ha eze.
In his days Edom revolted from under the hand of Judah, and made a king over themselves.
21 Ya mere, Jehoram duuru ụgbọ agha ya niile gaa nʼobodo Zaịa. O biliri nʼabalị tigbuo ndị Edọm ahụ gbara ya na ndị ọchịagha ụgbọ agha ya gburugburu; ma ndị agha ya gbaghachiri azụ, laa nʼụlọ ha.
So Joram went over to Zair, and all the chariots with him: and he rose by night, and smote the Edomites who encompassed him, and the captains of the chariots: and the people fled into their tents.
22 Ya mere, Edọm ka na-enupu isi megide Juda, ruo taa. Obodo Libna nupukwara isi nʼotu oge ahụ.
Yet Edom revolted from under the hand of Judah to this day. Then Libnah revolted at the same time.
23 Akụkọ ihe niile Jehoram mere, e deghị ha nʼakwụkwọ akụkọ ihe ndị eze Juda mere nʼụbọchị ndụ ha?
And the rest of the acts of Joram, and all that he did, [are] they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
24 Joram sooro ndị nna nna ya ha dina nʼọnwụ, e lie ya nʼebe e liri nna ya ha nʼobodo Devid. Ahazaya nwa ya ghọrọ eze nʼọnọdụ ya.
And Joram slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers, in the city of David; and Ahaziah his son reigned in his stead.
25 Nʼafọ nke iri na abụọ nke ọchịchị Joram nwa Ehab, bụ eze Izrel, ka Ahazaya nwa Jehoram, bụ eze Juda malitere ịchị.
In the twelfth year of Joram the son of Ahab king of Israel did Ahaziah the son of Jehoram king of Judah begin to reign.
26 Ahazaya gbara iri afọ abụọ na abụọ mgbe ọ malitere ịbụ eze, ọ chịrị otu afọ na Jerusalem. Aha nne ya bụ Atalaya, nwa nwa Omri, eze Izrel
Two and twenty years old [was] Ahaziah when he began to reign; and he reigned one year in Jerusalem. And his mother's name [was] Athaliah, the daughter of Omri king of Israel.
27 O soro ụzọ niile nke ndị ezinaụlọ Ehab, mee ihe dị njọ nʼanya Onyenwe anyị dịka ezinaụlọ Ehab mere, nʼihi na ọ lụrụ nwanyị si nʼezinaụlọ Ehab.
And he walked in the way of the house of Ahab, and did 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 Ahazaya sooro Joram nwa Ehab, gaa ibuso Hazael eze Aram agha na Ramọt Gilead. Ndị Aram merụrụ Joram ahụ.
And he went with Joram the son of Ahab to the war against Hazael king of Syria in Ramoth-gilead; and the Syrians wounded Joram.
29 Ya mere, eze Joram lọghachitere na Jezril, ka a gwọọ ya mmerụ ahụ ndị Aram merụrụ ya na Ramọt, nʼagha nke ya na Hazael eze Aram lụrụ. Mgbe ahụ, Ahazaya nwa Jehoram eze Juda, gara Jezril ileta Joram nwa Ehab, nʼihi na e merụrụ ya ahụ.
And king Joram went back to be healed in Jezreel of the wounds which the Syrians had given him at Ramah, when he fought against Hazael king of Syria. And Ahaziah the son of Jehoram king of Judah went down to see Joram the son of Ahab in Jezreel, because he was sick.
