2 Kings 8
1 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 will also come on the land for seven years.”
Elisa gblɔ na nyɔnu si ƒe viŋutsu wògbɔ agbee la be, “Kplɔ wò ƒometɔwo eye miayi aɖanɔ teƒe aɖe si miate ŋu anɔ elabena Yehowa ɖe gbe be dɔwuame nava anyigba la dzi eye wòanɔ anyi ƒe adre.”
2 The woman arose, and did according to the man of God’s word. She went with her household, and lived in the land of the Philistines for seven years.
Nyɔnu la wɔ nu si Mawu ƒe ame la gblɔ. Eya kple eƒe ƒometɔwo yi ɖanɔ Filistitɔwo ƒe anyigba dzi ƒe adre.
3 At the end of seven years, the woman returned from the land of the Philistines. Then she went out to beg the king for her house and for her land.
Esi dɔwuame la nu tso la, nyɔnu la gatrɔ va Israelnyigba dzi eye wòva kpɔ fia la be wòagbugbɔ yeƒe aƒe kple anyigba na ye.
4 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.”
Fia la nɔ nu ƒom kple Gehazi, Elisa ƒe subɔla, esime nyɔnu la do ɖe fia la ŋkume. Fia la nɔ gbɔgblɔm na Gehazi be, “Gblɔ nya aɖewo nam tso nu gã siwo Elisa wɔ la ŋu.”
5 As he was telling the king how he had restored to life him who was dead, behold, the woman whose son he had restored to life begged 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.”
Gehazi nɔ nu ƒom na fia la tso gbe si gbe Elisa gbɔ agbe ŋutsuvi kuku aɖe la ŋuti. Ɣe ma ɣi tututue ŋutsuvia dada do ɖe fia la ŋkume! Gehazi gblɔ na fia la be, “Ahã! Nye aƒetɔ fia bubutɔ, nyɔnu lae nye esia, ame si ƒe viŋutsu ku eye Elisa gbɔ agbee lae nye esia!”
6 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.”
Fia la bia nyɔnu la be, “Nyateƒea?” Nyɔnu la ɖo eŋu be, “Ɛ̃, nyateƒee!” Ale fia la ɖe gbe na eŋumewo dometɔ ɖeka be wòakpɔ egbɔ be nu sia nu si nye nyɔnu la tɔ kpɔ la naka esi eye be woaxe fe nɛ ɖe nuku siwo woxa le eƒe anyimanɔmanɔ me la nu.
7 Elisha came to Damascus; and Benhadad the king of Syria was sick. He was told, “The man of God has come here.”
Le esia megbe la, Elisa yi Damasko, Siria ƒe fiadu me esime Siria fia, Ben Hadad nɔ dɔ lém le afi ma. Ame aɖe gblɔ na fia la be nyagblɔɖila la va.
8 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?’”
Egblɔ na Hazael be, “Tsɔ nunana ɖe asi eye nàyi ɖakpɔ Mawu ƒe ame la. Bia gbe Yehowa to Mawu ƒe ame la dzi. Biae be, ‘Ɖe mahaya tso nye dɔléle sia mea?’”
9 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 Syria has sent me to you, saying, ‘Will I recover from this sickness?’”
Hazael yi ɖado go Elisa. Edo agba na kposɔ blaene kple adzɔnu nyuitɔwo tso Damasko. Eyi ɖatsi tsitre ɖe eŋkume hegblɔ be, “Viwò Ben Hadad, Siria fia dɔm ɖa be mabia wò be, ‘Ɖe mahaya tso nye dɔléle sia mea?’”
10 Elisha said to him, “Go, tell him, ‘You will surely recover;’ however the LORD has shown me that he will surely die.”
Elisa ɖo eŋu be, “Gblɔ nɛ be ahaya gake Yehowa ɖee fiam be ele kuku ge godoo!”
11 He settled his gaze steadfastly on him, until he was ashamed. Then the man of God wept.
Elisa lĩ ŋku ɖe Hazael dzi gãa va se ɖe esime Hazael tɔtɔ eye Elisa de asi avifafa me.
12 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 their little ones in pieces, and rip up their pregnant women.”
Hazael biae be, “Nu ka ta nye aƒetɔ le avi fam?” Elisa ɖo eŋu be, “Menya nu vɔ̃ɖi siwo nèle wɔwɔ ge Israelviwo; àtɔ dzo woƒe mɔwo, àwu woƒe ɖekakpuiwo, àxlã woƒe vidzĩwo ɖe agakpewo eye àdze ƒodo le woƒe funɔwo nu!”
13 Hazael said, “But what is your servant, who is but a dog, that he could do this great thing?” Elisha answered, “The LORD has shown me that you will be king over Syria.”
Hazael gblɔ be, “Avue menyea? Nyemawɔ nu ma tɔgbi gbeɖegbeɖe o!” Ke Elisa ɖo eŋu be, “Yehowa na menya be wòe ava zu fia le Siria.”
14 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.”
Esi Hazael trɔ le Elisa gbɔ va yi eƒe aƒetɔ gbɔ la gbɔ la, ebiae be, “Nya kae nyagblɔɖila la gblɔ na wò?” Hazael ɖo eŋu be, “Egblɔ nam be àhaya.”
15 On the next day, he took a thick cloth, dipped it in water, and spread it on the king’s face, so that he died. Then Hazael reigned in his place.
Ke esi ŋu ke la, Hazael tsɔ kundru aɖe de tsi me eye wòtsɔe tsyɔ mo na fia Ben Hadad va se ɖe esime gbɔgbɔtsixe tsi eƒo eye wòku. Ale Hazael zu fia ɖe eteƒe.
16 In the fifth year of Joram the son of Ahab king of Israel, Jehoshaphat being king of Judah then, Jehoram the son of Jehoshaphat king of Judah began to reign.
Fia Yoram, Yuda fia Yehosafat ƒe vi dze eƒe fiaɖuɖu gɔme le Israel fia, Yehoram, Fia Ahab ƒe vi ƒe fiaɖuɖu ƒe ƒe atɔ̃lia me.
17 He was thirty-two years old when he began to reign. He reigned eight years in Jerusalem.
Yoram xɔ ƒe blaetɔ̃-vɔ-eve esi wòzu fia. Eɖu fia le Yerusalem ƒe enyi.
18 He walked in the way of the kings of Israel, as did Ahab’s house, for he married Ahab’s daughter. He did that which was evil in the LORD’s sight.
Enye fia vɔ̃ɖi aɖe abe Ahab kple Israel fia bubuawo ene. Eɖe Ahab ƒe vinyɔnu eye wòwɔ nu si nye vɔ̃ le Yehowa ŋkume.
19 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.
Ke esi Yehowa do ŋugbe na eƒe dɔla, Fia David, be yeakpɔ eƒe dzidzimeviwo dzi eye yeakplɔ wo ta la, metsrɔ̃ Yuda o.
20 In his days Edom revolted from under the hand of Judah, and made a king over themselves.
Le Yoram ƒe fiaɖuɣi la, Edomtɔwo dze aglã, ɖe wo ɖokui ɖa tso Yuda te eye woɖo fia na wo ɖokui.
21 Then Joram crossed over to Zair, and all his chariots with him; and he rose up by night and struck the Edomites who surrounded him with the captains of the chariots; and the people fled to their tents.
Ke Yehoram kple eƒe tasiaɖamwo katã ho yi Zair. Le zã me la, Edomʋakɔ va ɖe to ɖe wo kpe ɖe eƒe tasiaɖam megãwo ŋu. Ke Yoram kple eƒe tasiaɖam megãwo kpe aʋa kple Edomtɔwo hekpe wo dzi hesi to wo dome dzo. Ke eƒe amewo si yi aƒe.
22 So Edom revolted from under the hand of Judah to this day. Then Libnah revolted at the same time.
Ale Edom do le Yuda ƒe kɔkuti te va se ɖe egbe. Libna hã dze aglã ɣe ma ɣi tututu.
23 The rest of the acts of Joram, and all that he did, are not they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
Woŋlɔ Fia Yoram ƒe ŋutinya mamlɛa ɖe, Yuda fiawo ƒe ŋutinyagbalẽ me.
24 Joram slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in David’s city; and Ahaziah his son reigned in his place.
Eku eye woɖii ɖe tɔgbuiawo dome le David ƒe du la me. Ke Ahazia si nye Via ŋutsuvi ɖu fia ɖe eteƒe.
25 In the twelfth year of Joram the son of Ahab king of Israel, Ahaziah the son of Jehoram king of Judah began to reign.
Yoram ƒe vi, Ahazia zu fia yeye la le Israel fia Yehoram, Ahab ƒe vi ƒe fiaɖuɖu ƒe ƒe wuievelia me.
26 Ahaziah was twenty-two years old 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.
Ahazia xɔ ƒe blaeve-vɔ-eve esi wòzu fia. Eɖu fia ƒe ɖeka ko le Yerusalem. Dadae nye Atalia, Israel fia, Omri ƒe tɔgbuiyɔvi.
27 He walked in the way of Ahab’s house and did that which was evil in the LORD’s sight, as did Ahab’s house, for he was the son-in-law of Ahab’s house.
Enye fia vɔ̃ɖi aɖe abe ale si Fia Ahab ƒe dzidzimeviwo katã nɔ ene elabena edo ƒome kple Fia Ahab to srɔ̃ɖeɖe me.
28 He went with Joram the son of Ahab to war against Hazael king of Syria at Ramoth Gilead, and the Syrians wounded Joram.
Ahazia kple Ahab ƒe vi Yoram woho aʋa ɖe Aram fia Hazael ŋu le Ramot Gilead. Aramtɔwo de abi Yoram ŋu le aʋa sia me
29 King Joram returned to be healed in Jezreel from the wounds which the Syrians had given him at Ramah, when he fought against Hazael king of Syria. Ahaziah the son of Jehoram, king of Judah, went down to see Joram the son of Ahab in Jezreel, because he was sick.
eya ta Fia Yoram gbɔ va Yezreel be yeagbɔ ɖe eme, eye yeakpɔ egbɔ be woda gbe le abi siwo Aramtɔwo de eŋu le Ramot, esime wòwɔ aʋa kple Aram fia Hazael la ŋu. Ke Ahazia si nye Yuda fia Yehoram ƒe vi la yi Yezerel be yeakpɔ Ahab vi Yoram ɖa ɖe eƒe abixɔxɔ ta.
