< 2 Kings 13 >

1 In the twenty-third year of the reign of Joash son of Ahaziah over Judah, Jehoahaz son of Jehu became king of Israel, and he reigned in Samaria seventeen years.
Bara mootummaa Yooʼaash ilma Ahaaziyaa mooticha Yihuudaa keessa waggaa digdamii sadaffaatti Yehooʼaahaaz ilmi Yehuu Samaariyaa keessatti mootii Israaʼel taʼee waggaa kudha torba bulche.
2 And he did evil in the sight of the LORD and followed the sins that Jeroboam son of Nebat had caused Israel to commit; he did not turn away from them.
Inni cubbuu Yerobiʼaam ilma Nebaat kan inni akka sabni Israaʼel hojjetu godhe sana duukaa buʼuudhaan fuula Waaqayyoo duratti waan hamaa hojjete; cubbuu sana irraas hin deebine.
3 So the anger of the LORD burned against Israel, and He delivered them continually into the hands of Hazael king of Aram and his son Ben-hadad.
Kanaafuu dheekkamsi Waaqayyoo Waaqaa Israaʼelitti ni bobaʼe; innis yeroo dheeraadhaaf dabarsee harka Hazaaʼeel mooticha Sooriyaattii fi harka ilma isaa Ben-Hadaadiitti isaan kenne.
4 Then Jehoahaz sought the favor of the LORD, and the LORD listened to him because He saw the oppression that the king of Aram had inflicted on Israel.
Yehooʼaahaaz fuula Waaqayyoo barbaaddate; Waaqayyos akka mootiin Sooriyaa sun akka malee Israaʼelin cunqurse argee kadhaa isaa dhagaʼeef.
5 So the LORD gave Israel a deliverer, and they escaped the power of the Arameans. Then the people of Israel lived in their own homes as they had before.
Waaqayyos nama isaan baraaru tokko Israaʼeliif kenne; akkasiin isaan harka warra Sooriyaa jalaa ni baʼan. Kanaafuu Israaʼeloonni akkuma duraatti dunkaana isaanii keessa jiraatan.
6 Nevertheless, they did not turn away from the sins that the house of Jeroboam had caused Israel to commit, but they continued to walk in them. The Asherah pole even remained standing in Samaria.
Isaan garuu cubbuu mana Yerobiʼaam kan inni akka Israaʼel hojjetu godhe sana irraa hin deebine; ittuma fufanii keessa jiraatan. Siidaan Aasheeraas Samaariyaa keessa dhaabatee hafe.
7 Jehoahaz had no army left, except fifty horsemen, ten chariots, and ten thousand foot soldiers, because the king of Aram had destroyed them and made them like the dust at threshing.
Loltoota Yehooʼaahaaz keessaa loltoota fardaa shantama, gaariiwwan kudhanii fi loltoota lafoo kuma kudhan malee tokko iyyuu hin hafne; mootiin Sooriyaa warra kaan hunda balleessee akkuma awwaara yeroo midhaan dhaʼanii isaan godhee tureetii.
8 As for the rest of the acts of Jehoahaz, along with all his accomplishments and his might, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel?
Wanni bara mootummaa Yehooʼaahaaz keessa hojjetame biraa, wanni inni hojjete hundii fi jabinni isaa kitaaba seenaa mootota Israaʼel keessatti barreeffameera mitii?
9 And Jehoahaz rested with his fathers and was buried in Samaria. And his son Jehoash reigned in his place.
Yehooʼaahaaz abbootii isaa wajjin boqotee Samaariyaa keessatti ni awwaalame. Yooʼaash ilmi isaa iddoo isaa buʼee mootii taʼe.
10 In the thirty-seventh year of the reign of Joash over Judah, Jehoash son of Jehoahaz became king of Israel in Samaria, and he reigned sixteen years.
Bara Yooʼaash mooticha Yihuudaa keessa waggaa soddomii torbaffaatti Yooʼaash ilmi Yehooʼaahaaz Samaariyaa keessatti mootii Israaʼel taʼee waggaa kudha jaʼa isaan bulche.
11 And he did evil in the sight of the LORD and did not turn away from all the sins that Jeroboam son of Nebat had caused Israel to commit, but he walked in them.
Inni fuula Waaqayyoo duratti cubbuu hojjetee cubbuu Yerobiʼaam ilma Nebaat kan inni akka sabni Israaʼel hojjetu godhe sana keessaa tokko irraa iyyuu hin deebine; innis ittuma fufee cubbuu keessa jiraate.
12 As for the rest of the acts of Jehoash, along with all his accomplishments and his might, including his war against Amaziah king of Judah, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel?
Wantoonni bara mootummaa Yooʼaash keessa hojjetaman biraa, wanni inni hojjete hundii fi jabinni isaa, waraanni inni Amasiyaa mooticha Yihuudaa irratti deemsises kitaaba seenaa mootota Israaʼel keessatti barreeffamaniiru mitii?
13 And Jehoash rested with his fathers, and Jeroboam succeeded him on the throne. Jehoash was buried in Samaria with the kings of Israel.
Yooʼaash abbootii isaa wajjin boqotee Yerobiʼaam iddoo isaa buʼee teessoo irra taaʼe. Yooʼaash Samaariyaa keessatti mootota Israaʼel biratti ni awwaalame.
14 When Elisha had fallen sick with the illness from which he would die, Jehoash king of Israel came down to him and wept over him, saying, “My father, my father, the chariots and horsemen of Israel!”
Yeroo kanatti Elsaaʼi dhukkuba duʼaan isa gaʼuun dhiphachaa ture. Yooʼaash mootichi Israaʼel isa ilaaluu gad buʼee isatti booʼe. Innis, “Yaa abbaa koo! Yaa abbaa koo! Yaa gaariiwwanii fi yaa abbootii fardaa Israaʼel!” jedhee iyye.
15 Elisha told him, “Take a bow and some arrows.” So Jehoash took a bow and some arrows.
Elsaaʼi, “Iddaa fi xiyya wayii fudhadhu” jedheen; innis ni fudhate.
16 Then Elisha said to the king of Israel, “Put your hand on the bow.” So the king put his hand on the bow, and Elisha put his hands on the king’s hands.
Elsaaʼi immoo mooticha Israaʼeliin, “Iddaa harkatti qabadhu” jedhe; inni fuunaan Elsaaʼi harka ofii isaa fuudhee harka mootichaa irra kaaʼe.
17 “Open the east window,” said Elisha. So he opened it and Elisha said, “Shoot!” So he shot. And Elisha declared: “This is the LORD’s arrow of victory, the arrow of victory over Aram, for you shall strike the Arameans in Aphek until you have put an end to them.”
Elsaaʼi, “Foddaa karaa baʼa biiftuu bani” jedheen; innis ni bane. Elsaaʼi, “Xiyya darbadhu!” jedhe; mootichis ni darbate. Elsaaʼis, “Xiyya moʼannoo Waaqayyoo, xiyya warra Sooriyaa moʼatu!” jedhe. Elsaaʼis, “Ati Afeeqitti warra Sooriyaa guutumaan guutuutti ni barbadeessita” jedhee labse.
18 Then Elisha said, “Take the arrows!” So he took them, and Elisha said to the king of Israel, “Strike the ground!” So he struck the ground three times and stopped.
Innis ergasii, “Xiyya fudhadhu” jedheen; mootichis ni fudhate. Elsaaʼis “Lafa rukuti” jedheen; mootichis yeroo sadii lafa rukute.
19 But the man of God was angry with him and said, “You should have struck the ground five or six times. Then you would have struck down Aram until you had put an end to it. But now you will strike down Aram only three times.”
Namni Waaqaa sunis isatti aaree akkana jedhe; “Ati yeroo shan yookaan jaʼa lafa rukutuu qabda; silaa warra Sooriyaa moʼattee guutumaan guutuutti isaan balleessita turte. Amma garuu yeroo sadii qofa isaan moʼatta.”
20 And Elisha died and was buried. Now the Moabite raiders used to come into the land every spring.
Elsaaʼi duʼee awwaalame. Yeroo sana Moʼaabonni saamtonni birraa birraa dhufanii biyyattii saamu ture.
21 Once, as the Israelites were burying a man, suddenly they saw a band of raiders, so they threw the man’s body into Elisha’s tomb. And as soon as his body touched the bones of Elisha, the man was revived and stood up on his feet.
Gaaf tokko warri Israaʼel utuu namicha duʼe tokko awwaaluutti jiranuu garee saamtotaa tokko argan; kanaafuu reeffa namichaa awwaala Elsaaʼitti darbatan. Reeffi sun lafee Elsaaʼi tuqnaan namichi sun duʼaa kaʼee miiluma ofii isaatiin dhaabate.
22 And Hazael king of Aram oppressed Israel throughout the reign of Jehoahaz.
Hazaaʼeel mootichi Sooriyaa bara mootummaa Yehooʼaahaaz guutuu Israaʼelin cunqurse.
23 But the LORD was gracious to Israel and had compassion on them, and He turned toward them because of His covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. And to this day, the LORD has been unwilling to destroy them or cast them from His presence.
Waaqayyo garuu sababii kakuu Abrahaam, Yisihaaqii fi Yaaqoob wajjin galee ture sanaatiif jedhee isaanii arjoome; garaas isaaniif laafee fuula isaa gara isaaniitti deebifate. Hamma harʼaattis fuula ofii isaa duraa isaan barbadeessuu yookaan gatuu hin feene.
24 When Hazael king of Aram died, his son Ben-hadad reigned in his place.
Hazaaʼeel mootichi Sooriyaa duʼee Ben-Hadaad ilmi isaa iddoo isaa buʼee mootii taʼe.
25 Then Jehoash son of Jehoahaz took back from Ben-hadad son of Hazael the cities that Hazael had taken in battle from his father Jehoahaz. Jehoash defeated Ben-hadad three times, and so recovered the cities of Israel.
Yooʼaash ilmi Yehooʼaahaaz magaalaawwan inni waraana keessatti abbaa isaa Yehooʼaahaaz irraa fudhatee ture hunda Ben-Hadaad ilma Hazaaʼeel irraa deebisee fudhate. Yahooʼasis yeroo sadii isa moʼatee akkasiin magaalaawwan Israaʼel deebise.
