2 Kings

1

1And Moab rebelled against Israel after the death of Ahab.
1 Ahab buuyaŋo banda Mowab murte Israyla gaa.
2And Ahaziah fell down through the lattice in his upper chamber which was in Samaria, and was sick; and he sent messengers and said to them, Go, inquire of Baal-zebub the god of Ekron, whether I shall recover from this disease.
2 Ahaziya mo fun ka kaŋ finetaro gaa, nga jidan bisa ra kaŋ go Samariya; a maa doori. Kal a na diyayaŋ donton ka ne i se: «Wa koy ka hã ay se Ekron tooro Baalzabula* gaa, hal ay ga du baani dooro wo gaa.»
3And the angel of Jehovah said to Elijah the Tishbite, Arise, go up to meet the messengers of the king of Samaria, and say to them, Is it because there is not a God in Israel, that ye go to inquire of Baal-zebub the god of Ekron?
3 Amma Rabbi malayka ne Tisbi bora Iliya se: «Tun ka kaaru ka Samariya bonkoono diyey kosaray. Ma ne i se: ‹Zama Irikoy kulu si no Israyla ra se no araŋ ga koy ka hãayaŋ te Ekron tooro Baalzabula gaa, wala?›
4Now therefore thus saith Jehovah: Thou shalt not come down from the bed on which thou art gone up, but shalt certainly die. And Elijah departed.
4 Sohõ binde Rabbi ne ni si zumbu ni dima kaŋ ni kaaru din boŋ, amma sikka si ni ga bu.» Iliya binde dira.
5And the messengers returned to him; and he said to them, Why have ye returned?
5 Diyey mo ye ka kaa Ahaziya do. A ne i se: «Ifo se no araŋ ye ka kaa?»
6And they said unto him, A man came up to meet us, and said to us, Go, return to the king that sent you and say to him, Thus saith Jehovah: Is it because there is not a God in Israel, that thou sendest to inquire of Baal-zebub the god of Ekron? therefore thou shalt not come down from the bed on which thou art gone up, but shalt certainly die.
6 I ne a se: «Boro fo no k'iri kosaray ka ne iri se: ‹Wa bare ka ye bonkoono kaŋ n'araŋ donton din do. Araŋ ma ne a se: Rabbi ne: Zama Irikoy kulu si no Israyla ra se no ni donton i ma hã ni se Ekron tooro Baalzabula gaa, wala? Woodin sabbay se no ni si zumbu ni dima kaŋ ni kaaru din boŋ, amma sikka si ni ga bu no.› »
7And he said to them, What manner of man was he that came up to meet you, and told you these words?
7 Ahaziya ne i se: «Boro mate cine no, bora kaŋ kaa k'araŋ kosaray, ka sanno wo ci araŋ se?»
8And they said to him, He was a man in a hairy [garment], and girt with a girdle of leather about his loins. And he said, It is Elijah the Tishbite.
8 I tu ka ne a se: «Boro gaa-hamnikoy no; a na nga canta guddu nda kuuru guddama.» Bonkoono ne i se: «Tisbi bora Iliya no.»
9And he sent to him a captain of fifty with his fifty. And he went up to him, and behold, he sat on the top of the mount. And he spoke to him: Man of God, the king says, Come down!
9 Gaa no bonkoono na sooje waygu jine funa da nga sooje waygo donton a gaa. Kal a kaaru Iliya do. Nga mo go ga goro tudu kuuku fo boŋ. Sooje jine funa ne a se: «Ya Irikoy bora, bonkoono ne ma zumbu!»
10And Elijah answered and said to the captain of fifty, And if I be a man of God, let fire come down from the heavens and consume thee and thy fifty. And there came down fire from the heavens, and consumed him and his fifty.
10 Iliya tu ka ne sooje waygo jine funa se: «D'ay ya Irikoy boro no, danji ma fun beena ra, a ma ni ŋwa, nin da ni sooje waygo din kulu.» Danji mo fun beena ra k'a ŋwa, nga nda nga sooje waygo din kulu.
11And again he sent to him another captain of fifty with his fifty. And he spoke and said to him, Man of God, thus says the king: Come down quickly!
11 Ahaziya ye ka sooje waygu jine funa fo nda nga sooje waygo donton a gaa. Nga mo koy ka ne Iliya se: «Ya Irikoy bora, bonkoono ne kala ni ma zumbu nda waasi!»
12And Elijah answered and said to them, If I be a man of God, let fire come down from the heavens and consume thee and thy fifty. And the fire of God came down from the heavens, and consumed him and his fifty.
12 Iliya tu ka ne i se: «To, d'ay ya Irikoy boro no, danji ma fun beena ra, a ma ni ŋwa, nin da ni sooje waygo din kulu.» Irikoy danjo mo fun beena ra k'a ŋwa, nga nda nga sooje waygo din kulu.
13And again he sent the captain of a third fifty with his fifty. And the third captain of fifty went up, and came and fell on his knees before Elijah, and besought him and said to him, Man of God, I pray thee, let my life, and the life of these fifty thy servants, be precious in thy sight.
13 Ahaziya ye koyne ka sooje waygu jine funa hinzanta nda nga sooje waygo donton. Sooje waygu jine funa hinzanta kaaru ka koy ka gurfa Iliya jine k'a ŋwaaray ka ne a se: «Ya Irikoy bora, ay ga ni ŋwaaray, ma naŋ ay fundo nda ni bannya waygo wo fundey ma du gaakuri ni jine.
14Behold, there came down fire from the heavens, and consumed the two captains of the former fifties with their fifties; but now, let my life be precious in thy sight.
14 Zama danji fun beena ra kaŋ na sooje waygu jine funa hinka din ŋwa, da ngey sooje waygey i banda. Amma sohõ ni ma naŋ ay fundo ma ciya gaakuri hari ni jine.»
15And the angel of Jehovah said to Elijah, Go down with him: be not afraid of him. And he arose, and went down with him to the king.
15 Kala Rabbi malayka ne Iliya se: «Ni ma zumbu, nin d'a care banda. Ni ma si humbur'a.» Kal a tun ka zumbu a banda ka koy kala bonkoono do.
16And he said to him, Thus saith Jehovah: Forasmuch as thou hast sent messengers to inquire of Baal-zebub the god of Ekron, is it because there is no God in Israel to inquire of his word? therefore thou shalt not come down from the bed on which thou art gone up, but shalt certainly die.
16 Iliya ne bonkoono se: «Rabbi ne: Za kaŋ ni na diyayaŋ donton i ma hã ni se Ekron tooro Baalzabula gaa, ifo no, Irikoy kulu si no Israyla ra, kaŋ gaa i ga hã no? Sohõ ni si zumbu ni dima kaŋ ni kaaru boŋ, zama sikka si ni ga bu.»
17And he died according to the word of Jehovah that Elijah had spoken. And Jehoram began to reign in his stead, in the second year of Jehoram the son of Jehoshaphat king of Judah; for he had no son.
17 Kal a bu mo Rabbi sanno kaŋ Iliya ci din boŋ. Za kaŋ a sinda ize, a se no Yehoram te bonkooni a nango ra, Yehoram, Yahuda bonkoono Yehosafat izo mayra jiiri hinkanta ra.
18And the rest of the acts of Ahaziah, what he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
18 Ahaziya goy cindey kaŋ yaŋ a te mo, manti i n'i hantum Israyla bonkooney baaru tira ra bo?
