2 Kings 15
1 After Jeroboam had been ruling Israel for almost twenty-seven years, Uzziah, the son of King Amaziah of Judah, began to rule.
Le Yeroboam Evelia, Israel fia ƒe fiaɖuɖu ƒe ƒe blaeve-vɔ-adrelia me la, Azaria, Yuda fia Amazia ƒe viŋutsu dze fiaɖuɖu gɔme.
2 He was 16 years old when he started to rule, and he ruled in Jerusalem for 52 years. His mother was Jecoliah, from Jerusalem.
Exɔ ƒe wuiade esi wòzu fia eye wòɖu dzi le Yerusalem ƒe blaatɔ̃ vɔ eve. Dadaa ŋkɔe nye Yekolia tso Yerusalem.
3 He did things that Yahweh was pleased with, like his father Amaziah had done.
Azaria nye fia nyui aɖe eye Yehowa kpɔ ŋudzedze le eŋu abe ale si wòkpɔe le fofoa, Amazia, ŋu ene
4 But, the places at the pagan shrines where they worshiped Yahweh were not destroyed, and the people continued to burn incense [to honor Yahweh] at those places [instead of in Jerusalem, the place that Yahweh had appointed].
gake, Megbã nuxeƒewo le toawo dzi o, ale ameawo gasaa vɔ eye wogadoa dzudzɔ ʋeʋĩ le afi ma kokoko.
5 Yahweh caused Uzziah to become a leper, and he was a leper for the rest of his life. [He was not allowed to live in the palace]. He lived alone in a house, and his son Jotham ruled the country.
Le esia ta la, Yehowa na wòdze kpodɔ va se ɖe eƒe kugbe. Woɖe kpɔ eya ɖeka da ɖe aƒe aɖe me ale via Yotam wɔ dɔ ɖe eteƒe abe fiateƒenɔla ene.
6 [If you want to know about] everything else that Uzziah did, it is written [RHQ] in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Judah’.
Woŋlɔ Fia Azaria ƒe ŋutinya mamlɛa kple nu siwo katã wòwɔ la ɖe Yuda fiawo ƒe ŋutinyagbalẽ me.
7 Uzziah died [EUP], and they buried him in [the part of Jerusalem called] ‘The City of David’, where his ancestors had been buried. Then his son Jotham officially became the king.
Esi Azaria ku la, woɖii ɖe tɔgbuiawo gbɔ le David ƒe du la me eye via Yotam ɖu fia ɖe eteƒe.
8 After Uzziah had been ruling Judah for almost thirty-eight years, Zechariah, the son of Jeroboam, became the king of Israel. He ruled in Samaria [city] for [only] six months.
Israel fia yeye lae nye Zekaria, fofoae nye Yeroboam Evelia. Eɖu fia ɣleti ade ko. Edze fiaɖuɖu gɔme le Yuda fia Azaria ƒe fiaɖuɖu ƒe ƒe blaetɔ̃-vɔ-enyilia me.
9 He did many things that Yahweh considered to be evil, like his ancestors had done. He committed the same kind of sins that Jeroboam had committed, sins which led the Israeli people to sin.
Ke Zekaria nye fia vɔ̃ɖi aɖe le Yehowa ŋkume, abe fofoawo ene. Ena Israel wɔ nu vɔ̃ to legbawo subɔsubɔ me abe Yeroboam Gbãtɔ, Nebat ƒe vi ene.
10 Then Shallum, the son of Jabesh, made plans to assassinate Zechariah. He killed him at Ibleam [town], and then he became the king.
Salum, Yabes ƒe vi ɖo nugbe ɖe eŋu hewui le lbleam eye wòzu fia ɖe eteƒe.
11 Everything else that Zechariah did is written in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Israel’.
Woŋlɔ Zekaria ƒe ŋutinya mamlɛa ɖe Israel fiawo ƒe ŋutinyagbalẽ me.
12 When Zechariah died, [that ended the dynasty of King Jehu]. That fulfilled what Yahweh said to King Jehu would happen: “Your son and grandson and great-grandson and great-great-grandson will all be kings of Israel.”
Ale nya si Yehowa gblɔ na Yehu be, “Wò dzidzimeviwo aɖu fia va se ɖe dzidzime enelia dzi” la va eme.
13 Shallum, the son of Jabesh, became the king of Israel after King Uzziah had been ruling Judah for almost thirty-nine years. But Shallum ruled in Samaria for [only] one month.
Israel fia yeye lae nye Salum. Fofoae nye Yabes. Eɖu fia ɣleti ɖeka pɛ ko. Yuda fia Azaria, ame si wogayɔna be Uzia la nɔ eƒe fiaɖuɖu ƒe ƒe blaetɔ̃-vɔ-asiekɛlia me.
14 Then Menahem, the son of Gadi, went up from Tirzah [city] to Samaria and assassinated Shallum. Then Menahem became the king of Israel.
Le Salum ƒe fiaɖuɖu ɣleti ɖeka megbe la, Menahem, Gadi ƒe vi tso Tirza va Samaria eye wòwui. Ale Menahem zu fia ɖe eteƒe.
15 Everything else that Shallum did, including his killing King Zechariah, is written in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Israel’.
Woŋlɔ nya bubuwo tso Fia Salum kple eƒe nugbeɖoɖowo ŋu ɖe Israel fiawo ƒe ŋutinyagbalẽ me.
16 While Menahem was ruling in Samaria, he completely destroyed Tappuah [village south of Samaria] and killed all the people who lived there and in the surrounding territory. He did that because the people in that city refused to surrender to him. [With his sword] he even ripped open the bellies of pregnant women.
Fia Menahem gbã Tapua du kple kɔƒe siwo ƒo xlãe elabena ameawo gbe be yewomaxɔe abe woƒe fia ene o. Ewu ameawo katã eye wòdze ƒodo le funɔwo nu.
17 When King Azariah had been ruling Judah for almost thirty-nine years, Menahem, the son of Gadi, became the king of Israel. He ruled in Samaria for ten years.
Israel fia yeye lae nye Menahem, Gadi ƒe vi. Eɖu fia ƒe ewo le Samaria. Edze fiaɖuɖu gɔme le Yuda fia, Azaria ƒe fiaɖuɖu ƒe ƒe blaetɔ̃-vɔ-asiekɛlia me.
18 He did many things that Yahweh considered to be evil. He committed the same kinds of sins that King Jeroboam had committed, sins that led the people of Israel to sin. He continued to commit those sins for the rest of his life.
Menahem nye fia vɔ̃ɖi aɖe le Yehowa ŋkume. Esubɔ legbawo abe ale si Yeroboam Gbãtɔ wɔ xoxoxo la ene eye wòhe Israel de nu vɔ̃ me.
19 Then King Tiglath-Pileser of Assyria came [with his army] to attack Israel. So Menahem gave him (thirty-eight tons/35,000 kg.) of silver in order that Tiglath-Pileser would help Menahem to continue to be king and rule his country more strongly.
Pul, Asiria fia ho aʋa ɖe Israel ŋu eye Menahem tsɔ klosaloga kilogram akpe blaetɔ̃ vɔ ade nɛ be wòakpe ɖe ye ŋu fiaɖuƒe la nanɔ ye si.
20 Menahem obtained that money from the rich men in Israel. He compelled each of them to contribute 50 pieces of silver. So Tiglath-Pileser [took that money and] went back home.
Menahem xɔ ga sia le Israelviwo si sesẽtɔe. Ele na hotsuitɔ ɖe sia ɖe be wòana klosaloga kilogram afã be woatsɔ ana Asiria fia. Ale Asiria fia dzudzɔ aʋa la hoho ɖe eŋu eye wòdzo le anyigba la dzi.
21 [If you want to know more about] everything that Menahem did, it is written [RHQ] in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Israel’.
Woŋlɔ Fia Menahem ƒe ŋutinya mamlɛa ɖe Israel fiawo ƒe ŋutinyagbalẽ me.
22 Menahem died [EUP] and was buried, and his son Pekahiah became the king of Israel.
Esi wòku la, via Pekahia zu fia ɖe eteƒe.
23 When King Uzziah had been ruling Judah for almost 50 years, Menahem’s son Pekahiah became the king of Israel. He ruled in Samaria for [only] two years.
Israel fia yeye lae nye Pekahia, fofoae nye Menahem. Eɖu fia ƒe eve le Samaria. Esime Yuda fia Azaria ɖu fia ƒe blaatɔ̃ la, Pekahia dze fiaɖuɖu gɔme.
24 He did many things that Yahweh considered to be evil. He committed the same kind of sins that King Jeroboam had committed, sins which led the people of Israel to sin.
Pekahia nye fia vɔ̃di aɖe le Yehowa ŋkume. Eyi legbasubɔsubɔ si gɔme Fia Yeroboam Gbãtɔ, Nebat ƒe vi, dze la dzi eye wòkplɔ Israel to nu vɔ̃ mɔ ma dzi.
25 Then one of Pekahiah’s army commanders whose name was Pekah, the son of Remaliah, planned with 50 men from [the] Gilead [region] to kill Pekahiah. They assassinated him in a fortified place in the king’s palace in Samaria. Then Pekah became the king.
Peka, Remalia ƒe vi, aʋafiawo dometɔ ɖeka wɔ babla kple Gileadtɔ blaatɔ̃ ɖe eŋu eye wowui le fiasã la me le Samaria. Wowu Argɔb kple Arieh kpe ɖe eŋu. Ale Peka zu fia yeye la.
26 Everything else that Pekahiah did is written in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Israel’.
Woŋlɔ Fia Pekahia ƒe ŋutinya mamlɛa ɖe Israel fiawo ƒe ŋutinyagbalẽ me.
27 When King Uzziah had been ruling Judah for almost 52 years, Pekah, the son of Remaliah, became the king of Israel. He ruled in Samaria for 20 years.
Israel fia yeye lae nye Peka, Remalia ƒe vi. Eɖu fia ƒe blaeve le Samaria le esime Fia Azaria ɖu fia ƒe blaatɔ̃ vɔ eve xoxo le Yuda.
28 He also did many things that Yahweh considered to be evil. He committed the same kind of sins that King Jeroboam had committed, sins that led the people of Israel to sin.
Peka hã nye fia vɔ̃ɖi aɖe le Yehowa ŋkume; eya hã wɔ nu vɔ̃ si Yeroboam Gbãtɔ, Nebat ƒe vi, ame si kplɔ Israel blibo la de legbasubɔsubɔ me la wɔ.
29 While Pekah was the king, Tiglath-Pileser, the king of Assyria, came [with his army] and captured [the cities of] Ijon, Abel-Beth-Maacah, Janoah, Kedesh, Hazor, and the regions of Gilead, Galilee, and Naphtali. His army forced the Israeli people to leave their country and go to live in Assyria.
Eƒe fiaɖuɣi mee Asiria fia, Tiglat Pilser, ame si wogayɔna be Pul la ho aʋa ɖe Israel ŋu. Du siwo dzi wòɖu la woe nye Iyɔn, Abel Bet Maka, Yanoa, Kedes kple Hazor. Exɔ Gilead kple Galilea hã hekpe ɖe Naftalinyigba blibo la ŋu. Eɖe aboyo amewo yi Asiria.
30 Then Hoshea, the son of Elah, plotted to kill Pekah. He assassinated him when Uzziah’s son Jotham had been ruling Judah for almost 20 years. Then Hoshea became the king of Israel.
Hosea, Ela ƒe vi ɖo nugbe ɖe Peka ŋu eye wòwui, ale Hosea zu fia yeye la. Israel fia yeye lae nye Hosea. Eɖu fia le Israel le esime Yotam, Uzia ƒe vi ɖu fia ƒe blaeve le Yuda.
31 Everything else that Pekah did is written in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Israel’.
Woŋlɔ Peka ƒe ŋutinya mamlɛa ɖe Israel fiawo ƒe ŋutinyagbalẽ me.
32 When Pekah had been ruling Israel for almost two years, Uzziah’s son Jotham began to rule Judah.
Le Peka, Remalia ƒe viŋutsu ƒe fiaɖuɖu ƒe ƒe evelia le Israel me la, Yotam, Uzia ƒe vi, dze fiaɖuɖu gɔme le Yuda.
33 He was 25 years old when he started to rule, and he ruled from Jerusalem for 16 years. His mother was Jerusha, the daughter of Zadok.
Exɔ ƒe blaeve vɔ atɔ̃ esi wòɖu fia eye wòɖu fia ƒe wuiade le Yerusalem. Dadae ŋkɔe nye Yerusa, Zadok ƒe vinyɔnu.
34 He did many things that pleased Yahweh, like his father Uzziah had done.
Ewɔ nu dzɔdzɔe le Yehowa ŋkume, abe ale si fofoa, Uzia, wɔ ene.
35 But he did not destroy the places on the tops of hills where the people worshiped [Yahweh], and the people continued to burn incense there [to honor Yahweh]. Jotham’s workers built the Upper Gate of the temple.
Megbã nuxeƒewo le toawo dzi o, ale ameawo gasaa vɔ eye wogadoa dzudzɔ ʋeʋĩ le afi ma kokoko. Yotam gbugbɔ Yehowa ƒe gbedoxɔ ƒe Dzigbegbo la tu.
36 [If you want to know more about] everything else that Jotham did, it is written [RHQ] in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Judah’.
Woŋlɔ Yotam ƒe ŋutinya mamlɛa ɖe Yuda fiawo ƒe ŋutinyagbalẽ me.
37 It was during the time that Jotham was the king that Yahweh sent King Rezin of Syria and King Pekah of Israel [with their armies] to attack Judah.
Le ŋkeke mawo me la, Yehowa na Siria fia Rezin kple Israel fia Peka ho aʋa ɖe Yuda ŋuti.
38 Jotham died [EUP] and was buried where his ancestors had been buried in [the part of Jerusalem called] ‘The City of David’. Then his son Ahaz became the king of Judah.
Esi Yotam ku la, woɖii ɖe tɔgbuiawo dome le fofoa de si nye David ƒe du la me. Yotam ƒe vi Ahaz zu fia yeye la.
