1In the three and twentieth year of Joash the son of Ahaziah, king of Judah, Jehoahaz the son of Jehu began to reign over Israel in Samaria for seventeen years.
1 Yahuda bonkoono Yowasa, Ahaziya izo, a mayra jiiri waranka cindi hinzanta ra no Yehowahaz, Yehu izo te bonkooni Israyla boŋ Samariya ra. A may mo jiiri way cindi iyye.
2He did that which was evil in the sight of Yahweh, and followed the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, with which he made Israel to sin; he didn’t depart from it.
2 A na goy laalo te Rabbi diyaŋ gaa. A na Yerobowam Nebat ize zunubey gana, naŋ kaŋ a na Israyla daŋ a ma zunubi te; a mana fay d'ey mo.
3The anger of Yahweh was kindled against Israel, and he delivered them into the hand of Hazael king of Syria, and into the hand of Benhadad the son of Hazael, continually.
3 Kala Rabbi bine koroŋ Israyla boŋ. A n'i daŋ Suriya bonkoono Hazayel, da Ben-Hadad, Hazayel izo kambe ra waati kulu.
4Jehoahaz begged Yahweh, and Yahweh listened to him; for he saw the oppression of Israel, how that the king of Syria oppressed them.
4 Yehowahaz na Rabbi ŋwaaray. Rabbi mo maa a se, zama a di kankami kaŋ go ga te Israyla se Suriya bonkoono kambe ra no.
5(Yahweh gave Israel a savior, so that they went out from under the hand of the Syrians; and the children of Israel lived in their tents as before.
5 Rabbi mo na Israyla no faabako hal i yana ka fun Suriyancey kambe ra. Israyla izey mo goro ngey windey ra sanda doŋ wano cine.
6Nevertheless they didn’t depart from the sins of the house of Jeroboam, with which he made Israel to sin, but walked therein: and there remained the Asherah also in Samaria.)
6 Kulu nda yaadin, i mana fay da Yerobowam kwaara zunubey bo, naŋ kaŋ a na Israyla daŋ i ma zunubi te, amma i soobay ka dira i ra. Wayboro himandi bundu tooruyaŋ mo cindi Samariya ra.
7For he didn’t leave to Jehoahaz of the people any more than fifty horsemen, and ten chariots, and ten thousand footmen; for the king of Syria destroyed them, and made them like the dust in threshing.
7 Zama a na kaaruko waygu da wongu torko way, da ce-koy zambar way hinne naŋ Yehowahaz se. Zama Suriya bonkoono n'i halaci, a n'i ciya sanda du kaŋ boro ga taamu cine.
8Now the rest of the acts of Jehoahaz, and all that he did, and his might, aren’t they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
8 Yehowahaz goy cindey, da haŋ kaŋ a te kulu, d'a soojetaray manti i n'i hantum Israyla bonkooney baaru tira ra bo?
9Jehoahaz slept with his fathers; and they buried him in Samaria: and Joash his son reigned in his place.
9 Yehowahaz binde kani nga kaayey banda; i n'a fiji Samariya ra. A izo Yehowasa te bonkooni a nango ra.
10In the thirty-seventh year of Joash king of Judah, Jehoash the son of Jehoahaz began to reign over Israel in Samaria for sixteen years.
10 Yahuda bonkoono Yehowasa mayra jiiri waranza cindi iyyanta ra no Yehowasa, Yehowahaz izo te bonkooni Samariya ra Israyla boŋ. A may mo jiiri way cindi iddu.
11He did that which was evil in the sight of Yahweh; he didn’t depart from all the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, with which he made Israel to sin; but he walked therein.
11 A na teera laalo te Rabbi diyaŋ gaa. A mana fay da Yerobowam Nebat izo zunubey, naŋ kaŋ a na Israyla daŋ i ma zunubi te, amma i ra no a soobay ka dira.
12Now the rest of the acts of Joash, and all that he did, and his might with which he fought against Amaziah king of Judah, aren’t they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
12 Yehowasa goy cindey mo, da haŋ kaŋ a te kulu, da gaabi kaŋ a na wongu te d'a Yahuda bonkoono Amaziya gaa, manti i n'i hantum Israyla bonkooney baaru tira ra bo?
13Joash slept with his fathers; and Jeroboam sat on his throne: and Joash was buried in Samaria with the kings of Israel.
13 Yehowasa kani nga kaayey banda, Yerobowam mo goro a karga boŋ. I na Yehowasa fiji Samariya ra, naŋ kaŋ i ga Israyla bonkooney fiji.
14Now Elisha was fallen sick of his sickness of which he died: and Joash the king of Israel came down to him, and wept over him, and said, “My father, my father, the chariots of Israel and its horsemen!”
14 A go no, kala dooro kaŋ ga Iliyasu wi din n'a di hal a kani. Israyla bonkoono Yehowasa mo kaa a do. A soobay ka hẽ a boŋ, ka ne: «Ay baaba! Ay baaba! Israyla torko nd'a kaarukoy no.»
15Elisha said to him, “Take bow and arrows”; and he took to him bow and arrows.
15 Iliyasu ne a se: «Ni ma hangaw da biraw sambu.» A na hangawo da birawo sambu mo.
16He said to the king of Israel, “Put your hand on the bow”; and he put his hand on it. Elisha laid his hands on the king’s hands.
16 A ne Israyla bonkoono se: «Ni kamba daŋ birawo gaa.» A na nga kamba daŋ mo. Iliyasu na nga kambey dake bonkoono kambey boŋ.
17He said, “Open the window eastward”; and he opened it. Then Elisha said, “Shoot!” and he shot. He said, “Yahweh’s arrow of victory, even the arrow of victory over Syria; for you shall strike the Syrians in Aphek, until you have consumed them.”
17 A ne: «Ma wayna funay haray finetaro fiti.» A n'a fiti. Iliyasu ne a se: «Hay!» A hay. A ne: «Rabbi hangawo Suriyancey boŋ, zaamayaŋ hangaw no. Zama ni ga Suriyancey kar Afek ra, hala ni m'i ŋwa.»
18He said, “Take the arrows”; and he took them. He said to the king of Israel, “Strike the ground”; and he struck three times, and stopped.
18 Iliyasu ne mo: «Ma sambu hangawey.» A sambu koyne. A ne: «Israyla bonkoono ma laabo kar.» A n'a kar hala sorro hinza ka naŋ.
19The man of God was angry with him, and said, “You should have struck five or six times. Then you would have struck Syria until you had consumed it, whereas now you shall strike Syria just three times.”
19 Irikoy bora mo futu a se ka ne: «A hima ni ma kar sorro gu wala iddu. Yaadin cine no ni ga Suriya kar ka ŋwa mo. Amma sohõ sorro hinza hinne no ni ga Suriya kar.»
20Elisha died, and they buried him. Now the bands of the Moabites invaded the land at the coming in of the year.
20 Iliyasu bu, a n'a fiji mo. Jiiri tajo sintina Mowab soojey kande wongu laabo ra.
21It happened, as they were burying a man, that behold, they spied a band; and they cast the man into the tomb of Elisha: and as soon as the man touched the bones of Elisha, he revived, and stood up on his feet.
21 A ciya mo, i go boro fo fijiyaŋ gaa, kal i na soojeyaŋ fonnay. I na bora jindaw Iliyasu saara ra. Kaŋ bora lamba Iliyasu biriyey gaa, kal a ye ka tun ka kay nga cey boŋ.
22Hazael king of Syria oppressed Israel all the days of Jehoahaz.
22 Suriya bonkoono Hazayel mo na Israyla kaynandi Yehowahaz jirbey kulu ra.
23But Yahweh was gracious to them, and had compassion on them, and had respect to them, because of his covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and would not destroy them, neither cast he them from his presence as yet.
23 Amma Rabbi na gomni te i se, a di i bakaraw, a fongu i gaa nga alkawlo kaŋ a sambu Ibrahim da Isaka nda Yakuba se din sabbay se. A mana yadda i m'i halaci mo, a si ba nga m'i ban jina.
24Hazael king of Syria died; and Benhadad his son reigned in his place.
24 Suriya bonkoono Hazayel bu. A izo Ben-Hadad mo te bonkooni a nango ra.
25Jehoash the son of Jehoahaz took again out of the hand of Benhadad the son of Hazael the cities which he had taken out of the hand of Jehoahaz his father by war. Joash struck him three times, and recovered the cities of Israel.
25 Yehowasa, Yehowahaz ize mo ye ka kwaarey ta Ben-Hadad, Hazayel izo kamba ra, wo kaŋ yaŋ Hazayel ta a baabo Yehowahaz kamba ra. Wongu do ce hinza no Yehowasa n'a kar, a ye ka Israyla kwaarey ta mo.
