2 Kings 1
1 Then Moab rebelled against Israel after the death of Ahab:
Le Fia Ahab ƒe ku megbe la, Moab dze aglã ɖe Israel ŋu.
2 And Ahaziah fell thorow the lattesse windowe in his vpper chamber which was in Samaria: so he was sicke: then he sent messengers, to whome he saide, Goe, and enquire of Baal-zebub the God of Ekron, if I shall recouer of this my disease.
Azɔ la, Ahazia ge tso eƒe fesre nu le eƒe dziƒoxɔ dzi le Samaria eye nuvevi wɔe eya ta wòdɔ dɔlawo gblɔ na wo be, “Miyi miabia nu le Ekrontɔwo ƒe mawu, Baal Zebub gbɔ nam ne miakpɔe ɖa be mahaya tso dɔléle sia me mahã.”
3 Then the Angel of the Lord said to Eliiah the Tishbite, Arise, and goe vp to meete the messengers of the King of Samaria, and say vnto them, Is it not because there is no God in Israel, that ye goe to enquire of Baal-zebub the god of Ekron?
Ke mawudɔla aɖe gblɔ na Nyagblɔɖila Eliya, Tisbitɔ la be, “Yi nàdo go ame siwo Samaria fia dɔ eye nàbia wo be, ‘Nyateƒee wònye be Mawu aɖeke mele Israel oa? Eya ta mieyina Baal Zebub, Ekrontɔwo ƒe mawu gbɔ be miabia ne fia la ƒe lãme asẽa?’
4 Wherefore thus saith the Lord, Thou shalt not come downe from the bed on which thou art gone vp, but shalt die the death. So Eliiah departed.
Azɔ nu si Yehowa gblɔe nye esi. ‘Màfɔ le aba si dzi nèmlɔ la dzi o; àku godoo!’” Ale Eliya yi.
5 And the messengers returned vnto him, to whome he said, Why are ye nowe returned?
Esi ame dɔdɔawo trɔ va fia la gbɔ la, fia la bia wo be, “Nu ka ta mietrɔ gbɔ?”
6 And they answered him, There came a man and met vs, and saide vnto vs, Goe, and returne vnto the King which sent you, and say vnto him, Thus saith the Lord, Is it not because there is no God in Israel, that thou sendest to enquire of Baal-zebub the God of Ekron? Therefore thou shalt not come downe from the bed, on which thou art gone vp, but shalt die ye death.
Woɖo eŋu be, “Ŋutsu aɖe va tu mí eye wògblɔ na mí be, ‘Mitrɔ yi fia si dɔ mi la gbɔ eye miagblɔ nɛ be, “Nu si Yehowa gblɔe nye: Ɖe Mawu aɖeke mele Israel o tae nèle amewo dɔm be woaɖabia gbe Baal Zebub, Ekrontɔwo ƒe mawua? Eya ta màfɔ le aba si dzi nèmlɔ la dzi o. Àku godoo!”’”
7 And he saide vnto them, What maner of man was he which came and met you, and tolde you these wordes?
Fia la bia be, “Ame kae nye ŋutsu sia? Aleke eƒe dzedzeme le?”
8 And they said vnto him, He was an hearie man, and girded with a girdle of lether about his loynes. Then sayde he, It is Eliiah the Tishbite.
Woɖo eŋu nɛ be, “Enye ŋutsu aɖe si ŋu fu le kpedzee, ebla ali dzi kple alidziblaka keke aɖe si wowɔ kple lãgbalẽ.” Tete fia la do ɣli be, “Eliya, Tisbitɔ lae!”
9 Therefore the King sent vnto him a captaine ouer fiftie with his fiftie men, who went vp vnto him: for beholde, he sate on the toppe of a mountaine, and he saide vnto him, O man of God, the King hath commanded that thou come downe.
Eɖo aʋakplɔla ɖeka kple asrafo blaatɔ̃ ɖa be woayi aɖalée vɛ. Wokpɔe wònɔ anyi ɖe togbɛ aɖe dzi. Aʋakplɔla la gblɔ nɛ be, “Oo, Mawu ƒe ame, fia la ɖe gbe be nàzɔ kpli mí ava ye gbɔ.”
10 But Eliiah answered, and saide to the captaine ouer the fiftie, If that I be a man of God, let fire come downe from the heauen, and deuoure thee and thy fiftie. So fire came downe from the heauen and deuoured him and his fiftie.
Eliya ɖo eŋu be, “Nenye Mawu ƒe amee menye tututu la, ekema dzo nage tso dziƒo eye wòafia wò kple wò ame blaatɔ̃awo!” Enumake dzo ge tso dziƒo eye wòfia aʋakplɔla la kple ame blaatɔ̃wo katã.
11 Againe also he sent vnto him another captaine ouer fiftie, with his fiftie. Who spake, and saide vnto him, O man of God, thus the King commandeth, Come downe quickely.
Ale fia la gaɖo aʋakplɔla bubu aɖe kple asrafo blaatɔ̃ bubu ɖa be woagblɔ nɛ be, “Oo, Mawu ƒe ame, fia la be nàva ye gbɔ fifi laa!”
12 But Eliiah answered, and saide vnto them, If I be a man of God, let fire come downe from the heauen, and deuoure thee and thy fiftie. So fire came downe from the heauen, and deuoured him and his fiftie.
Eliya gblɔ na wo be, “Nenye Mawu ƒe amee menye tututu la, ekema dzo nage tso dziƒo eye wòafia wò kple wò ame blaatɔ̃awo!” Ale Mawu ƒe dzo ge tso dziƒo eye wòfia woawo hã.
13 Yet againe he sent the third captaine ouer fiftie with his fiftie. And the thirde captaine ouer fiftie went vp, and came, and fell on his knees before Eliiah, and besought him, and saide vnto him, O man of God, I pray thee, let my life and the life of these thy fiftie seruants be precious in thy sight.
Fia la gaɖo aʋakplɔla kple ame blaatɔ̃ bubu ɖa. Azɔ ya la, aʋakplɔla la dze klo ɖe Eliya ƒe akɔme eye wòɖe kuku nɛ be, “Oo, Mawu ƒe ame, meɖe kuku, na nye kple wò dɔla blaatɔ̃ siawo míatsi agbe.
14 Beholde, there came fire downe from the heauen and deuoured the two former captaines ouer fiftie with their fifties: therefore let my life nowe be precious in thy sight.
Kpɔ ɖa, dzo ge tso dziƒo hefia aʋakplɔla gbãtɔ eveawo kple woƒe amewo. Ke azɔ la, na nye agbe naxɔ asi le gbɔwò!”
15 And the Angel of the Lord said vnto Eliiah, Goe downe with him, be not afraide of his presence. So he arose, and went downe with him vnto the King.
Yehowa ƒe dɔla aɖe gblɔ na Eliya be, “Mègavɔ̃ o, Yi kpli wo.” Ale Eliya yi fia la gbɔ.
16 And he saide vnto him, Thus saith the Lord, Because thou hast sent messengers to enquire of Baal-zebub the god of Ekron, (was it not because there was no God in Israel to inquire of his worde?) therefore thou shalt not come downe off the bed, on which thou art gone vp, but shalt die the death.
Eliya gblɔ na fia la be, “Ale Yehowa gblɔe nye esi. Esi Mawu aɖeke mele Israel be nàbia gbee o tae nèɖo amewo ɖa be woaɖabia gbe Baal Zebub, Ekrontɔwo ƒe mawu la? Esi nèwɔ esia ta la, màfɔ le aba si dzi nèmlɔ la dzi akpɔ gbeɖe o; àku godoo!”
17 So he dyed according to the worde of the Lord which Eliiah had spoken. And Iehoram began to reigne in his steade, in the seconde yeere of Iehoram the sonne of Iehoshaphat King of Iudah, because he had no sonne.
Ale Ahazia ku abe ale si Yehowa gblɔe da ɖi to Eliya dzi la ene eye nɔvia Yehoram zu fia ɖe eteƒe elabena viŋutsu aɖeke menɔ esi aɖu fia ɖe eyome o. Nya sia dzɔ le Yuda fia Yehoram, Yehosafat ƒe vi ƒe fiaɖuɖu ƒe ƒe evelia me.
18 Concerning the rest of the actes of Ahaziah, that he did, are they not written in the booke of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel?
Woŋlɔ nu bubuwo tso Ahazia ƒe fiaɖuɖu ŋu ɖe Israel fiawo ƒe ŋutinyagbalẽ me.
