2 Kings 2
1 Now when the Lord was about to take Elijah up to heaven in a great wind, Elijah went with Elisha from Gilgal.
Yeroo Waaqayyo bubbeedhaan Eeliyaasin gara Samiitti ol fudhachuu gaʼetti Eeliyaasii fi Elsaaʼi Gilgaalii kaʼanii karaa deemaa turan.
2 And Elijah said to Elisha, Come no farther for the Lord has sent me to Beth-el. But Elisha said, As the Lord is living and as your soul is living, I will not be parted from you. So they went down to Beth-el.
Eeliyaasis Elsaaʼiin, “Ati asuma turi; Waaqayyo Beetʼeelitti na ergeeraatii” jedhe. Elsaaʼi garuu, “Dhugaa Waaqayyo jiraataa, ani lubbuu keetiin nan kakadha; ani gad si hin dhiisu” jedheen. Kanaafuu isaan Beetʼeelitti gad buʼan.
3 And at Beth-el the sons of the prophets came out to Elisha and said, Has it been made clear to you that the Lord is going to take away your master from over you today? And he said, Yes, I have knowledge of it: say no more.
Ergasiis waldaan raajotaa kanneen Beetʼeel turan gara Elsaaʼi dhufanii, “Ati akka Waaqayyo harʼa gooftaa kee si biraa fudhachuuf jiru beektaa?” jedhanii ni gaafatan. Elsaaʼi immoo, “Eeyyee, ani nan beeka; garuu isin waaʼee isaa hin dubbatinaa” jedheen.
4 Then Elijah said to him, Come no farther, for the Lord has sent me to Jericho. But he said, As the Lord is living and as your soul is living, I will not be parted from you. So they went on to Jericho.
Eeliyaasis “Yaa Elsaaʼi, ati asuma turi; Waaqayyo gara Yerikootti na ergeeraatii” jedheen. Innis, “Dhugaa Waaqayyo jiraataa, ani lubbuu keetiin nan kakadha; ani gad si hin dhiisu” jedheen. Kanaafuu isaan gara Yerikoo deeman.
5 And at Jericho the sons of the prophets came up to Elisha and said to him, Has it been made clear to you that the Lord is going to take away your master from over you today? And he said in answer, Yes, I have knowledge of it: say no more.
Waldaan raajotaa kanneen Yerikoo turan sun gara Elsaaʼi dhufanii, “Ati akka Waaqayyo harʼa gooftaa kee si biraa fudhachuuf jiru beektaa?” jedhanii gaafatan. Innis, “Eeyyee nan beeka; isin garuu waaʼee isaa hin dubbatinaa” jedheen.
6 Then Elijah said to him, Come no farther, for the Lord has sent me to Jordan. But he said, As the Lord is living and as your soul is living, I will not be parted from you. So they went on together.
Eeliyaasis, “Ati asuma turi; Waaqayyo Yordaanositti na ergeeraatii” jedheen. Innis, “Dhugaa Waaqayyo jiraataa, ani lubbuu keetiin nan kakadha; ani gad si hin dhiisu” jedheen. Kanaafuu isaan lamaanuu kaʼanii deeman.
7 And fifty men of the sons of the prophets went out and took their places facing them a long way off, while the two of them were by the edge of Jordan.
Isaanis Yordaanos bira dhaabatan; waldaa raajotaa keessaa namoonni shantamni dhaqanii irraa fagaatanii fuula isaanii dura dhadhaabatan.
8 Then Elijah took off his robe, and, rolling it up, gave the water a blow with it, and the waters were parted, flowing back this way and that, so that they went over on dry land.
Eeliyaasis kaabbaa isaa of irraa baasee dadachaasee ittiin bishaan dhaʼe. Bishaan sunis mirgaa fi bitaatti gargar qoodame; isaan lamaanuu lafa gogaa irra ceʼan.
9 And when they had come to the other side, Elijah said to Elisha, Say what you would have me do for you before I am taken from you. And Elisha said, Be pleased to let a special measure of your spirit be on me.
Eeliyaasis erga ceʼanii booddee Elsaaʼiin, “Mee waan ani utuu si biraa hin fudhatamin siif gochuu dandaʼu natti himi” jedhe. Elsaaʼi immoo, “Hafuurri kee dachaadhaan narra haa buʼu” jedhee deebiseef.
10 And he said, You have made a hard request: still, if you see me when I am taken from you, you will get your desire; but if not, it will not be so.
Eeliyaas immoo, “Ati waan rakkisaa kadhatte; taʼus yoo ati yeroo ani si biraa fudhatamutti na argite, hafuurri kun kan kee taʼa; yoo kanaa achi kan kee hin taʼu” jedheen.
11 And while they went on their way, going on talking together, suddenly there were carriages and horses of fire separating them from one another and Elijah went up to heaven in a great wind.
Utuma isaan haasaʼaa deemanuu gaariin ibiddaa tokkoo fi fardeen ibiddaa akkuma tasaa mulʼatanii isaan lamaan gargari baasan; Eeliyaasis bubbeedhaan samiitti ol fudhatame.
12 And when Elisha saw it he gave a cry, My father, my father, the carriages of Israel and its horsemen! And he saw him no longer; and he was full of grief.
Elsaaʼi waan kana argee, “Yaa abbaa koo! Yaa abbaa koo! Gaariiwwanii fi abbootii farda Israaʼel!” jedhee sagalee ol fudhatee iyye. Elsaaʼi ergasii deebiʼee isa hin argine. Innis uffata isaa qabee iddoo lamatti gargar tarsaase.
13 Then he took up Elijah's robe, which had been dropped from him, and went back till he came to the edge of Jordan.
Innis kaabbaa Eeliyaas irraa buʼe sana fuudhee deebiʼee qarqara laga Yordaanos dhaabate.
14 And he took Elijah's robe, which had been dropped from him, and giving the water a blow with it, said, Where is the Lord, the God of Elijah? and at his blow the waters were parted this way and that; and Elisha went over.
Ergasii kaabbaa Eeliyaas irraa buʼe sana fudhatee ittiin bishaan dhaʼee, “Waaqayyo Waaqni Eeliyaas sun amma eessa jira?” jedhee gaafate. Yommuu inni dhaʼetti bishaan sun mirgaa fi bitaatti gargari qoodame; Elsaaʼis ni ceʼe.
15 And when the sons of the prophets who were facing him at Jericho saw him, they said, The spirit of Elijah is resting on Elisha. And they came out to him, and went down on the earth before him.
Waldaan raajotaa kanneen Yerikoodhaa dhufanii waan kana ilaalaa turan, “Hafuurri Eeliyaas Elsaaʼi irra buʼuutti jira” jedhan. Isaanis isa simachuudhaaf dhaqanii fuula isaa duratti lafatti gombifaman.
16 And they said, Your servants have with us here fifty strong men; be pleased to let them go in search of Elijah; for it may be that the spirit of the Lord has taken him up and put him down on some mountain or in some valley. But he said, Do not send them.
Akkanas jedhaniin; “Kunoo, nu tajaajiltoonni kee namoota ciccimoo shantama of biraa qabna. Isaan dhaqanii gooftaa kee haa barbaadan. Hafuurri Waaqayyoo ol isa fuudhee tulluu wayii irra yookaan sulula wayii keessa isa buuse taʼaatii.” Elsaaʼi immoo, “Akkas miti; isaan hin erginaa” jedhee deebise.
17 But when they kept on requesting him, he was shamed and said, Send, then. So they sent fifty men; but after searching for three days, they came back without having seen him.
Isaan garuu hamma inni isaan jalaa diduu qaanaʼutti isa dirqisiisan. Kana irratti inni, “Isaan ergaa” jedhe. Isaanis nama shantama ni ergan; namoonni sunis bultii sadii barbaadanii isa dhaban.
18 And they came back to him, while he was still at Jericho; and he said to them, Did I not say to you, Go not?
Isaanis utuma inni Yerikoo jiruu deebiʼanii gara isaa dhufan; innis, “Ani hin deeminaa isiniin hin jennee?” jedheen.
19 Now the men of the town said to Elisha, You see that the position of this town is good; but the water is bad, causing the young of the cattle to come to birth dead.
Namoonni magaalaa sanaa Elsaaʼiin, “Kunoo yaa gooftaa keenya, akkuma ati argitu kana haalli magaalaa kanaa namatti tola; garuu bishaan ishee faalamaa dha; lafti ishees midhaan hin baaftu” jedhan.
20 So he said, Get me a new vessel, and put salt in it; and they took it to him.
Innis, “Mee waciitii haaraa naa fidaatii soogidda itti naqaa” jedheen. Kanaafuu isaan waciitii sana itti fidan.
21 Then he went out to the spring from which the water came, and put salt in it, and said, The Lord says, Now I have made this water sweet; no longer will it be death-giving or unfertile.
Innis gara burqaatti gad buʼee, soogidda sana itti naqee akkana jedhe; “Waaqayyo akkana jedha; ‘Ani bishaan kana fayyiseera. Bishaan kun lammata duʼa hin fidu yookaan maseenummaa biyyatti hin fidu.’”
22 And the water was made sweet again to this day, as Elisha said.
Bishaan sunis akkuma dubbii Elsaaʼi dubbate sanaatti hamma ammaatti fayyeera.
23 Then from there he went up to Beth-el; and on his way, some little boys came out from the town and made sport of him, crying, Go up, old no-hair! go up, old no-hair!
Ergasii Elsaaʼi kaʼee Beetʼeel dhaqe. Utuma inni karaa deemuu ijoolleen tokko magaalaa keessaa yaatee, “Namicha mataa moluu nana deemi asii! Namicha mataa moluu nana deemi asii!” jedhanii itti qoosan.
24 And turning back, he saw them, and put a curse on them in the name of the Lord. And two she-bears came out of the wood and put forty-two of the children to death.
Inni of irra garagalee isaan milʼatee maqaa Waaqayyootiin isaan abaare. Yommus amaakenni lama bosona keessaa baʼanii ijoollee sana keessaa afurtamii lama cicciranii fixan.
25 From there he went to Mount Carmel, and came back from there to Samaria.
Elsaaʼis ittuma fufee gara Tulluu Qarmeloos dhaqe; achii kaʼees Samaariyaatti deebiʼe.
