2 Kings 3
1 Now Jehoram the son of Ahab began to reign over Israel in Samaria in the eighteenth year of Jehoshaphat king of Judah, and reigned twelve years.
Yehooraam ilmi Ahaab bara Yehooshaafaax mooticha Yihuudaa keessa waggaa kudha saddeettaffaatti Samaariyaa keessatti mootii Israaʼel taʼee waggaa kudha lama bulche.
2 And he did that which was evil in the sight of Jehovah, but not like his father, and like his mother; for he put away the pillar of Baal that his father had made.
Yehooraam fuula Waaqayyoo duratti waan hamaa hojjete; garuu akka abbaa fi haati isaa hojjetan sana miti. Inni siidaa Baʼaal kan abbaan isaa hojjechiise sana balleesseeraatii.
3 Nevertheless he cleaved unto the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, wherewith he made Israel to sin; he departed not therefrom.
Taʼus cubbuu Yerobiʼaam ilma Nebaat kan inni saba Israaʼel hojjechiise sana cimsee qabate malee irraa hin deebine.
4 Now Mesha king of Moab was a sheep-master; and he rendered unto the king of Israel the wool of a hundred thousand lambs, and of a hundred thousand rams.
Yeroo kanatti Meeshaan mootichi Moʼaab hoolota horsiisa ture; inni waggaa waggaatti xobbaallaa hoolaa kuma dhibba tokkoo fi rifeensa korbeeyyii hoolaa kuma dhibba tokko mootii Israaʼeliif gibira kenna ture.
5 But it came to pass, when Ahab was dead, that the king of Moab rebelled against the king of Israel.
Erga Ahaab duʼee garuu mootichi Moʼaab mootii Israaʼelitti ni fincile.
6 And king Jehoram went out of Samaria at that time, and mustered all Israel.
Kanaafuu yeroo sanatti Yehooraam mootichi Samaariyaadhaa kaʼee saba Israaʼel hunda duulaaf hiriirse.
7 And he went and sent to Jehoshaphat the king of Judah, saying, The king of Moab hath rebelled against me: wilt thou go with me against Moab to battle? And he said, I will go up: I am as thou art, my people as thy people, my horses as thy horses.
Innis, “Mootiin Moʼaab natti fincileera; Moʼaabin loluudhaaf ati na wajjin ni baataa?” jedhee Yehooshaafaax mooticha Yihuudaatti ergaa ergate. Yehooshaafaaxis, “Ani si wajjin nan baʼa; ani akkuma kee ti; sabni koos akkuma saba keetii ti; fardeen koos akkuma fardeen keetii ti” jedhee deebiseef.
8 And he said, Which way shall we go up? And he answered, The way of the wilderness of Edom.
Innis, “Karaa kamiin yaana?” jedhee gaafate. Yehooraam immoo, “Karaa Gammoojjii Edoomiitiin” jedhee deebiseef.
9 So the king of Israel went, and the king of Judah, and the king of Edom; and they made a circuit of seven days’ journey: and there was no water for the host, nor for the beasts that followed them.
Kanaafuu mootiin Israaʼel mootii Yihuudaatii fi mootii Edoom wajjin kaʼee qajeele. Erga guyyaa torba irra nanaannaʼanii booddee loltoonni sun ofii isaaniitiif yookaan horii isaaniitiif bishaan tokko illee hin qaban ture.
10 And the king of Israel said, Alas! for Jehovah hath called these three kings together to deliver them into the hand of Moab.
Kana irratti mootiin Israaʼel, “Wayyoo kaa! Waaqayyo nu mootota sadanuu dabarsee mootii Moʼaabitti kennuudhaaf walitti nu waamee?” jedhee iyye.
11 But Jehoshaphat said, Is there not here a prophet of Jehovah, that we may inquire of Jehovah by him? And one of the king of Israel’s servants answered and said, Elisha the son of Shaphat is here, who poured water on the hands of Elijah.
Yehooshaafaax garuu, “Raajiin Waaqayyoo kan nu karaa isaatiin Waaqayyoon waa gaafannu tokko iyyuu as hin jiruu?” jedhee gaafate. Qondaalli mootii Israaʼel tokkos, “Elsaaʼi ilmi Shaafaax as jira. Inni Eeliyaasiif bishaan harkaa buusa ture” jedhee deebise.
12 And Jehoshaphat said, The word of Jehovah is with him. So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat and the king of Edom went down to him.
Yehooshaafaaxis, “Dubbiin Waaqayyoo isa bira jira” jedhe. Kanaafuu mootiin Israaʼel, Yehooshaafaaxii fi mootiin Edoom gara Elsaaʼitti gad buʼan.
13 And Elisha said unto the king of Israel, What have I to do with thee? get thee to the prophets of thy father, and to the prophets of thy mother. And the king of Israel said unto him, Nay; for Jehovah hath called these three kings together to deliver them into the hand of Moab.
Elsaaʼi mootii Israaʼeliin, “Nu maal wal irraa qabna? Ati gara raajota abbaa keetiitii fi gara raajota haadha keetii dhaqi” jedhe. Mootiin Israaʼel, “Akkas miti; Waaqayyo nu mootota sadanuu dabarsee Moʼaabitti kennuudhaaf walitti nu waameeraatii” jedhee deebise.
14 And Elisha said, As Jehovah of hosts liveth, before whom I stand, surely, were it not that I regard the presence of Jehoshaphat the king of Judah, I would not look toward thee, nor see thee.
Elsaaʼi immoo akkana jedhee deebise; “Dhugaa Waaqayyoo Waan Hunda Dandaʼu kan ani isa tajaajilu sanaa; ani utuu Yehooshaafaax mooticha Yihuudaatiif ulfina kennuu baadhee silaa garagalee si hin ilaalu yookaan wayittuu si hin hedun ture.
15 But now bring me a minstrel. And it came to pass, when the minstrel played, that the hand of Jehovah came upon him.
Amma garuu nama baganaa taphatu tokko naa fidaa.” Utuma namichi sun baganaa taphachaa jiruu harki Waaqayyoo Elsaaʼi irra buʼe;
16 And he said, Thus saith Jehovah, Make this valley full of trenches.
innis akkana jedhe; “Waaqayyo akkana jedha: Sulula kana keessatti boolla hedduu qotaa.
17 For thus saith Jehovah, Ye shall not see wind, neither shall ye see rain; yet that valley shall be filled with water, and ye shall drink, both ye and your cattle and your beasts.
Waaqayyo akkana jedhaatii: Isin bubbee yookaan bokkaa hin argitan; taʼus sululli kun bishaaniin guutama; isin, loon keessanii fi horiin keessan kaan ni dhugdu.
18 And this is but a light thing in the sight of Jehovah: he will also deliver the Moabites into your hand.
Wanni kun fuula Waaqayyoo duratti waan salphaa dha; inni Moʼaabinis dabarsee harka keessanitti ni kenna.
19 And ye shall smite every fortified city, and every choice city, and shall fell every good tree, and stop all fountains of water, and mar every good piece of land with stones.
Isin magaalaa dallaan itti ijaarame hundaa fi magaalaawwan hunda ni moʼattu. Muka gaarii hunda ni murtu; burqaa hunda gogsitanii lafa qotiisaa gaarii hunda dhagaan balleessitu.”
20 And it came to pass in the morning, about the time of offering the oblation, that, behold, there came water by the way of Edom, and the country was filled with water.
Guyyaa itti aanu ganama gara saʼaatii aarsaan itti dhiʼeeffamuutti kunoo karaa Edoomiin bishaan gad ni dhangalaʼe! Biyyi sunis bishaaniin guutamte.
21 Now when all the Moabites heard that the kings were come up to fight against them, they gathered themselves together, all that were able to put on armor, and upward, and stood on the border.
Yeroo kanatti Moʼaabonni hundi akka mootonni sun isaan loluu dhufan dhagaʼan; kanaafuu dargaggeessas taʼu jaarsi miʼa lolaa baachuu dandaʼu hundi walitti waamamee daangaa irratti walitti qabame.
22 And they rose up early in the morning, and the sun shone upon the water, and the Moabites saw the water over against them as red as blood:
Yommuu isaan ganama barii kaʼanitti biiftuun bishaan sana irratti baʼaa turte. Bishaan sunis Moʼaabota gama jiranitti akkuma dhiigaa diimatee mulʼate.
23 and they said, This is blood; the kings are surely destroyed, and they have smitten each man his fellow: now therefore, Moab, to the spoil.
Isaanis, “Wanni sun dhiiga! Mootonni sun wal lolanii wal fixuun isaanii hin oolu. Kanaafuu yaa Moʼaab boojuudhaaf kaʼi!” jedhan.
24 And when they came to the camp of Israel, the Israelites rose up and smote the Moabites, so that they fled before them; and they went forward into the land smiting the Moabites.
Garuu yeroo Moʼaabonni qubata Israaʼel gaʼanitti, Israaʼeloonni itti kaʼanii lolan; jarri sunis ni baqatan. Israaʼeloonnis biyya sana weeraranii Moʼaabota gogorraʼan.
25 And they beat down the cities; and on every good piece of land they cast every man his stone, and filled it; and they stopped all the fountains of water, and felled all the good trees, until in Kir-hareseth [only] they left the stones thereof; howbeit the slingers went about it, and smote it.
Isaanis akkasiin magaalaawwan balleessan; tokkoon tokkoon namaas lafa qotiisaa gaggaarii hunda irratti dhagaa darbatee lafti qotiisaa sun dhagaadhaan guutame. Isaan burqaawwan hunda gogsanii muka gaggaarii hunda ciran. Qiir Hareesheti qofatu dhagaa ishee wajjin hafe; taʼus namoonni furrisaa qaban marsanii ishee dhaʼan.
26 And when the king of Moab saw that the battle was too sore for him, he took with him seven hundred men that drew sword, to break through unto the king of Edom; but they could not.
Mootiin Moʼaab yommuu akka lolli isatti jabaate argetti mooticha Edoomitti cabsee seenuuf namoota goraadee hidhatan dhibba torba fudhatee qajeele; jarri garuu hin dandeenye.
27 Then he took his eldest son that should have reigned in his stead, and offered him for a burnt-offering upon the wall. And there was great wrath against Israel: and they departed from him, and returned to their own land.
Innis ilma isaa hangafa kan iddoo isaa buʼee mootii taʼuuf jiru fudhatee dallaa magaalaa sanaa irratti aarsaa gubamu godhee dhiʼeesse. Dheekkamsi guddaanis Israaʼelitti dhufe. Isaanis dugda duubatti deebiʼanii biyya isaaniitti ni galan.
