2 Kings 13
1 Ní ọdún kẹtàlélógún ti Joaṣi ọmọ ọba Ahasiah ti Juda, Jehoahasi ọmọ Jehu di ọba Israẹli ní Samaria. Ó sì jẹ ọba fún ọdún mẹ́tàdínlógún.
After Joash had been ruling Judah for almost 23 years, Jehu’s son Jehoahaz became the king of Israel. He ruled in Samaria [city] for 17 years.
2 Ó ṣe búburú níwájú Olúwa nípa títẹ̀lé ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ Jeroboamu ọmọ Nebati, èyí tí ó ti fa Israẹli láti dá, kò sì yípadà kúrò nínú wọn.
He did many things that Yahweh considered to be evil and committed the same kind of sins that Jeroboam had committed, sins which led the people of Israel to sin. He did not stop committing those sins.
3 Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ìbínú Olúwa ru sí àwọn ọmọ Israẹli, àti fún ìgbà pípẹ́, ó fi wọ́n pamọ́ sí abẹ́ agbára ọba Hasaeli ọba Siria àti Beni-Hadadi ọmọ rẹ̀.
So Yahweh became very angry with the Israeli people, and he allowed the army of King Hazael of Syria and his son Ben-Hadad to defeat the Israelis many times.
4 Nígbà náà Jehoahasi kígbe ó wá ojúrere Olúwa, Olúwa sì tẹ́tí sí i. Nítorí ó rí bí ọba Siria ti ń ni Israẹli lára gidigidi.
Then Jehoahaz prayed to Yahweh [for help], and Yahweh heeded him, because he saw that the army of the king of Syria was oppressing the Israelis.
5 Olúwa pèsè olùgbàlà fún Israẹli, wọ́n sì sá kúrò lọ́wọ́ agbára Siria. Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni àwọn ọmọ Israẹli gbé nínú ilé ara wọn gẹ́gẹ́ bí wọ́n ti wà tẹ́lẹ̀.
Yahweh sent a leader to Israel, who enabled them to be freed from being controlled by Syria. After that, the Israeli people lived peacefully as they had done previously.
6 Ṣùgbọ́n wọn kò yípadà kúrò nínú ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ ilé Jeroboamu, èyí tí ó ti fa Israẹli láti dá, wọ́n tẹ̀síwájú nínú rẹ̀, ère òrìṣà Aṣerah sì wà síbẹ̀ ní Samaria pẹ̀lú.
But they still continued to commit the same kind of sins that Jeroboam and his family had committed and which led the Israelis to [also] sin. And the statue of the goddess Asherah remained in Samaria.
7 Kò sí ohùn kan tí wọ́n fi sílẹ̀ ní ti ọmọ-ogun Jehoahasi àyàfi àádọ́ta ọkùnrin ẹlẹ́ṣin, kẹ̀kẹ́ mẹ́wàá, àti ẹgbẹ̀rún mẹ́wàá ọmọ-ogun ẹlẹ́ṣẹ̀, nítorí ọba Siria ti pa ìyókù run, ó sì ṣe wọ́n bí eruku nígbà pípa ọkà.
Jehoahaz had only 50 men who rode on horses and ten chariots and 10,000 other soldiers, because the army of Syria had killed all the rest, trampling them like people walk on dirt.
8 Fún ti ìyókù ìṣe Jehoahasi fún ìgbà, tí ó fi jẹ ọba, gbogbo ohun tí ó ṣe àti àṣeyọrí rẹ̀ ṣé a kò kọ wọ́n sínú ìwé ìtàn ayé àwọn ọba Israẹli?
[If you want to read about] [RHQ] everything else that Jehoahaz did, you can read about it in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Israel’.
9 Jehoahasi pẹ̀lú àwọn baba rẹ̀. A sì sin ín sí Samaria. Jehoaṣi ọmọ rẹ̀ sì rọ́pò rẹ̀ gẹ́gẹ́ bí ọba.
Jehoahaz died [EUP] and was buried in Samaria. Then his son Jehoash became the king.
10 Ní ọdún kẹtàdínlógójì tí Joaṣi ọba Juda, Jehoaṣi ọmọ Jehoahasi di ọba Israẹli ní Samaria ó sì jẹ ọba fún ọdún mẹ́rìndínlógún.
Jehoash, the son of Jehoahaz, started to rule in Israel after King Joash had been ruling in Judah for 23 years. Jehoash ruled in Samaria for 17 years.
11 Ó ṣe búburú ní ojú Olúwa, kò sì yípadà kúrò nínú ọ̀kankan nínú ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ Jeroboamu ọmọ Nebati èyí tí ó ti ti Israẹli láti fà. Ó sì tẹ̀síwájú nínú wọn.
He did many things that Yahweh considered to be evil. He refused to turn away from worshiping idols, which was the sin that [many years earlier King] Jeroboam had told the Israeli people to commit.
12 Fún ti ìyókù iṣẹ́ Jehoaṣi fún ìgbà tí ó fi jẹ ọba, gbogbo ohun tí ó ṣe, pẹ̀lú àṣeyọrí rẹ̀ pẹ̀lú ogun rẹ̀ sí Amasiah ọba Juda, ṣé a kò kọ wọ́n sínú ìwé ìtàn ayé àwọn ọba Israẹli?
The other things that happened while Jehoash was king and all the things that he did are written in the book called ‘The Account of What the Kings of Israel Did’. In that account they wrote about Jehoash’s [army’s] victories, and their war with [the army of] King Amaziah of Judah.
13 Jehoaṣi sinmi pẹ̀lú àwọn baba a rẹ̀. Jeroboamu sì rọ́pò rẹ̀ lórí ìtẹ́. A sin Jehoaṣi sí Samaria pẹ̀lú àwọn ọba Israẹli.
When Jehoash died, he was buried in Samaria where the [other] kings of Israel were buried. Then his son Jeroboam became king.
14 Nísinsin yìí, Eliṣa ń jìyà lọ́wọ́ àìsàn, lọ́wọ́ èyí tí ó sì kú. Jehoaṣi ọba Israẹli lọ láti lọ wò ó, ó sì sọkún lórí rẹ̀. “Baba mi! Baba mi!” Ó sọkún. “Àwọn kẹ̀kẹ́ àti àwọn ọkùnrin ẹlẹ́ṣin Israẹli!”
Elisha became very ill. Just before he died, King Jehoash went to Elisha and cried in front of him. [Saying the same words that Elisha had said when Elijah was taken to heaven], he said, “My father/master! My father/master! The chariots of us Israeli people and their drivers [are taking my master away]!”
15 Eliṣa wí pé, “Mú ọrun kan àti àwọn ọfà,” ó sì ṣe bẹ́ẹ̀.
Elisha said to him, “Bring to me a bow and some arrows!” So the king did that.
16 “Mú ọrun ní ọwọ́ rẹ.” Ó wí fún ọba Israẹli. Nígbà tí ó ti mú u, Eliṣa mú ọwọ́ rẹ̀ lé ọwọ́ ọba.
Then Elisha told the king to put his hands on the bow [and prepare to shoot some arrows]. And then Elisha put his own hands on the king’s hands.
17 “Ṣí fèrèsé apá ìlà-oòrùn,” ó wí, pẹ̀lú ó sì ṣí i: “Ta á!” Eliṣa wí, ó sì ta á. “Ọfà ìṣẹ́gun Olúwa; ọfà ìṣẹ́gun lórí Siria!” Eliṣa kéde. “Ìwọ yóò pa àwọn ará Siria run pátápátá ní Afeki.”
Then Elisha told him, “[Have someone] open that window toward the east.” So they opened it. Then Elisha said, “Shoot!” So the king did. Then Elisha said, “That is the arrow that [indicates that your army] will defeat the Syrian army. Your army will completely defeat their [army] at Aphek [town].”
18 Nígbà náà ó wí pé, “Mú àwọn ọfà náà,” ọba sì mú wọn. Eliṣa wí fún un pé, “Lu ilẹ̀.” Ó lù ú lẹ́ẹ̀mẹ́ta, ó sì dáwọ́ dúró.
Then Elisha said, “Pick up the other arrows and strike the ground with them!” So the king picked up the arrows and struck the ground three times.
19 Ènìyàn Ọlọ́run sì bínú sí i, ó sì wí pé, “Ìwọ kò bá ti lu ilẹ̀ ní ẹ̀ẹ̀márùn ún tàbí ní ẹ̀ẹ̀mẹ́fà, nígbà náà, ìwọ kò bá ti ṣẹ́gun Siria àti pa á run pátápátá ṣùgbọ́n nísinsin yìí, ìwọ yóò ṣẹ́gun rẹ̀ ní ẹ̀ẹ̀mẹ́ta péré.”
But Elisha was angry with him. He exclaimed, “You should have struck the ground five or six times! If you had done that, your army would have defeated the Syrian [army] until they were completely wiped out! But now, [because you struck the ground only three times, ] your army will defeat them only three times!”
20 Eliṣa kú a sì sin ín. Ẹgbẹ́ àwọn ará Moabu máa ń wọ orílẹ̀-èdè ní gbogbo àmọ́dún.
Then Elisha died and was buried. Groups of raiders from Moab came to Israel each year during (spring/the time when the cold season was ending).
21 Bí àwọn ọmọ Israẹli kan ti ń sin òkú ọkùnrin kan, lójijì wọ́n rí ẹgbẹ́ àwọn oníjadì, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni wọ́n ju òkú ọkùnrin náà sínú ibojì Eliṣa. Nígbà tí ara ọkùnrin náà kan egungun Eliṣa, ó padà wá sí ayé, ó sì dúró ní ẹsẹ̀ rẹ̀.
One year, when some Israeli people were burying a man’s body, they saw a group of those raiders. [They were afraid, ] so quickly they threw that man’s body into the tomb where Elisha [had been buried, and they ran away]. But as soon as the man’s body touched Elisha’s bones, the dead man became alive again and jumped up!
22 Hasaeli ọba Siria ni Israẹli lára ní gbogbo àkókò tí Jehoahasi fi jẹ ọba.
King Hazael of Syria [sent soldiers to] oppress the Israeli people all during the years that Jehoahaz [ruled Judah].
23 Ṣùgbọ́n Olúwa ṣàánú fún wọn ó sì ní ìyọ́nú, ó sì fiyèsí wọn nítorí májẹ̀mú rẹ̀ pẹ̀lú Abrahamu, Isaaki àti Jakọbu. Títí di ọjọ́ òní, kì í ṣe ìfẹ́ inú rẹ̀ láti pa wọ́n run tàbí lé wọn lọ níwájú rẹ̀.
But Yahweh was very kind [DOU] to the Israeli people. He helped them because of the agreement that he had made with [their ancestors] Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. He did not get rid of the Israelis, and he still has not rejected them.
24 Hasaeli ọba Siria kú, Beni-Hadadi ọmọ rẹ̀ sì rọ́pò rẹ̀ gẹ́gẹ́ bí ọba.
When Hazael the king of Syria died, his son Ben-Hadad became the king.
25 Nígbà náà, Jehoaṣi ọmọ Jehoahasi gbà padà kúrò lọ́wọ́ Beni-Hadadi ọmọ Hasaeli àwọn ìlú tí ó ti gbà nínú ogun látọ̀dọ̀ baba rẹ̀ Jehoahasi. Ní ẹ̀ẹ̀mẹta, Jehoaṣi ṣẹ́gun rẹ̀, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ó gba ìlú àwọn ọmọ Israẹli padà.
[The army of] King Jehoash of Israel defeated [the army of] King Ben-Hadad three times, and recaptured the cities that Ben-Hadad’s army had captured during the time that Jehoash’s father Jehoahaz was ruling Israel.
