Kings IV 4
1 And one of the wives of the sons of the prophets cried to Elisaie, saying, Thy servant my husband is dead; and thou knowest that thy servant feared the Lord: and the creditor is come to take my two sons to be his servants.
Niitiin namicha ilmaan raajotaa keessaa tokko taʼe tokkoo sagalee ol fudhattee Elsaaʼiin akkana jette; “Dhirsi koo garbichi kee duʼeera; akka inni Waaqayyoon sodaachaa ture atuu ni beekta. Namichi liqii isa irraa qabu tokko garuu amma ilmaan koo lamaan fudhatee garboomfachuuf dhufaa jira.”
2 And Elisaie said, What shall I do for thee? tell me what thou hast in the house. And she said, Thy servant has nothing in the house, except oil wherewith I anoint myself.
Elsaaʼis, “Ani akkamittin si gargaaruu dandaʼa? Mee natti himi; mana kee keessaa maal qabdaa?” jedheen. Isheenis, “Garbittiin kee zayitii xinnoo tokko malee homaa manaa hin qabdu” jettee deebifte.
3 And he said to her, Go, borrow for thyself vessels without of all thy neighbours, [even] empty vessels; borrow not a few.
Elsaaʼi akkana jedheen; “Dhaqiitii warra ollaa keetii hunda okkotee duwwaa hedduu kadhadhu. Muraasa hin kadhatin.
4 And thou shalt go in and shut the door upon thee and upon thy sons, and thou shalt pour forth into these vessels, and remove that which is filled.
Ergasii ol galiitii ofii keetii fi ilmaan keetti balbala cufi. Okkotee hundatti zayitii naqiitii yommuu tokkoon tokkoon isaa guutamutti jalaa hiiqsi.”
5 And she departed from him, and shut the door upon herself and upon her sons: they brought the vessels near to her, and she poured in until the vessels were filled.
Isheenis isa biraa deemtee ofii isheettii fi ilmaan isheetti balbala cufte. Ilmaan ishee okkotee gara isheetti fidan; isheen immoo zayitii itti naqaa turte.
6 And she said to her sons, Bring me yet a vessel. And they said to her, There is not a vessel more. And the oil stayed.
Okkoteen hundi guutamnaan isheen ilma isheetiin, “kan biraa naaf fidi” jette. Inni immoo, “Okkoteen tokko iyyuu hin hafne” jedhee deebiseef. Kana irratti zayitiin sun yaaʼuu dhiise.
7 And she came and told the man of God: and Elisaie said, Go, and sell the oil, and thou shalt pay thy debts, and thou and thy sons shall live of the remaining oil.
Isheen dhaqxee nama Waaqaa sanatti himte; innis, “Dhaqii zayitii sana gurguriitii liqii kee baafadhu. Atii fi ilmaan kee waan hafeen jiraachuu ni dandeessu” jedhe.
8 And a day came, when Elisaie passed over to Soman, and [there was] a great lady there, and she constrained him to eat bread: and it came to pass as often as he went into [the city, that] he turned aside to eat there.
Gaaf tokko Elsaaʼi kaʼee Suunam dhaqe. Dubartiin soorettiin tokko achi jiraatti turte; isheenis akka inni goree waa nyaatuuf Elsaaʼi kadhatte. Kanaafuu inni yeroo karaa sanaan darbu hunda goree waa nyaata ture.
9 And the woman said to her husband, See now, I know that this [is] a holy man of God who comes over continually to us.
Isheenis dhirsa isheetiin akkana jette; “Ani namichi yeroo hunda karaa keenyaan darbu kun qulqulluu nama Waaqaa akka taʼe nan beeka.
10 Let us now make for him an upper chamber, a small place; and let us put there for him a bed, and a table, and a stool, and a candlestick: and it shall come to pass that when he comes in to us, he shall turn in thither.
Kottu mee bantii manaa irratti kutaa xinnaa tokko ijaarree siree fi minjaala, barcumaa fi ibsaa achi keessa haa keenyuuf. Ergasiis inni yeroo nu bira dhufu hunda achi jiraachuu dandaʼa.”
11 And a day came, and he went in thither, and turned aside into the upper chamber, and lay there.
Elsaaʼis gaaf tokko dhufee ol baʼee kutaa isaa sana keessa ciise.
12 And he said to Giezi his servant, Call me this Somanite. and he called her, and she stood before him.
Innis tajaajilaa isaa Gehaaziin, “Mee dubartii Suunam sana as waami” jedhe. Gehaaz ishee waamnaan isheen dhuftee fuula Elsaaʼi dura dhaabatte.
13 And he said to him, Say now to her, Behold, thou hast taken all this trouble for us; what should I do for thee? Hast thou any request [to make] to the king, or to the captain of the host? And she said, I dwell in the midst of my people.
Elsaaʼi immoo akkana isaan jedhe; “‘Ati nuuf jettee baayʼee dadhabdeerta. Amma maal siif haa godhu? Iddoo kee buunee mootichatti yookaan ajajaa loltootaatti siif dubbannuu?’ jedhii isheetti himi.” Ishee immoo, “Ani saba koo gidduun jiraadha” jettee deebifte.
14 And he said to Giezi, What must we do for her? and Giezi his servant said, Indeed she has no son, and her husband [is] old.
Elsaaʼis, “Maaltu isheef godhamuu dandaʼa?” jedhee gaafate. Gehaaz immoo, “Isheen ilma hin qabdu; dhirsi ishees dulloomee jira” jedheen.
15 And he called her, and she stood by the door.
Elsaaʼis, “Ishee waami” jedheen. Kanaafuu inni ishee waame; isheenis balbala dura dhaabatte.
16 And Elisaie said to her, At this time [next year], as the season [is], thou [shalt be] alive, and embrace a son. And she said, Nay, my lord, do not lie to thy servant.
Elsaaʼi, “Ati waggaa dhufu keessa yeroo kanatti ilma ni hammatta” jedheen. Isheen immoo, “Akkas miti yaa gooftaa koo; yaa nama Waaqaa, ati garbittii kee hin gowwoomsin!” jette.
17 And the woman conceived, and bore a son at the very time, as the season was, being alive, as Elisaie said to her.
Dubartiin sun garuu ni ulfoofte; akkuma Elsaaʼi isheetti hime sanatti waggaa itti aanu keessa yeruma sanatti ilma deesse.
18 And the child grew: and it came to pass when he went out to his father to the reapers,
Mucaan sunis ni guddate; innis gaaf tokko gara warra midhaan haamanii abbaa isaa bira dhaqe.
19 that he said to his father, My head, my head. and [his father] said to a servant, carry him to his mother.
Innis abbaa isaatiin, “Mataa koo! Mataa koo!” jedhe. Abbaan isaa immoo hojjetaa tokkoon, “Baadhuutii gara haadha isaatti isa geessi” jedhe.
20 And he carried him to his mother, and he lay upon her knees till noon, and died.
Erga hojjetaan sun fuudhee gara haadha isaati isa geessee booddee mucaan sun hamma saafaatti gudeeda haadha isaa irra taaʼee ergasii immoo ni duʼe.
21 And she carried him up and laid him on the bed of the man of god; and she shut the door upon him, and went out.
Isheen ol baatee siree nama Waaqaa sanaa irra isa ciibsite; mana itti cuftees kaatee biraa deemte.
22 And she called her husband, and said, Send now for me one of the young men, and one of the asses, and I will ride quickly to the man of God, and return.
Isheen dhirsa ishee waamtee, “Mee akka ani dafee gara nama Waaqaa dhaqee deebiʼuuf hojjetaa tokkoo fi harree tokko naaf ergi” jetteen.
23 And he said, Why art thou going to him to-day? It is neither new moon, nor the Sabbath. And she said, [It is] well.
Inni immoo, “Harʼa ayyaana baatii miti yookaan Sanbata miti. Ati maaliif harʼa gara isaa dhaqxa ree?” jedheen. Isheen, “Nagumaafin dhaqa” jette.
24 And she saddled the ass, and said to her servant, Be quick, proceed: spare not on my account to ride, unless I shall tell thee. Go, and thou shalt proceed, and come to the man of God to mount Carmel.
Isheenis harree ishee irra kooraa kaaʼattee hojjetaa isheetiin, “Karaa qabadhu; yoo ani sitti hime malee anaaf jettee suuta hin deemsisin” jette.
25 And she rode and came to the man of God to the mountain: and it came to pass when Elisaie saw her coming, that he said to Giezi his servant, See now, that Somanite comes.
Kanaafuu isheen kaatee gara Tulluu Qarmeloos nama Waaqaa sana bira dhaqxe. Namni Waaqaa sun fagootti ishee arginaan tajaajilaa isaa Gehaaziin akkana jedhe; “Ilaa! Dubartiin Suunam sun kuunnoo ti!
26 Now run to meet her, and thou shalt say, [Is it] well with thee? [is it] well with thy husband? [is it] well with the child? and she said, [It is] well.
Fiigii ishee simadhuutii, ‘Ati fayyumaa? Dhirsi kee fayyumaa? Mucaan kee fayyumaa?’ jedhii gaafadhu.” Isheenis, “Wanni hundinuu naguma” jettee deebifte.
27 And she came to Elisaie to the mountain, and laid hold of his feet; and Giezi drew near to thrust her away. And Elisaie said, Let her alone, for her soul [is] much grieved in her, and the Lord has hidden [it] from me, and has not told [it] me.
Isheen yommuu tulluu sana irratti nama Waaqaa sana bira geessetti, jabeessitee miilla isaa qabatte. Gehaaz immoo gad dhiisisuuf dhufe; namni Waaqaa sun garuu, “Ishee hin tuqin! Isheen gadda guddaa keessa jirti; Waaqayyo garuu waan kana na dhokse; nattis hin himne” jedhe.
28 And she said, Did I ask a son of my lord? For did I not say, Do not deal deceitfully with me?
Isheenis, “Yaa gooftaa koo ani ilma si kadhadheeraa? Ani, ‘Na hin gowwoomsin’ siin hin jennee?” jetteen.
29 And Elisaie said to Giezi, Gird up thy loins, and take my staff in thy hand, and go: if thou meet any man, thou shalt not salute him, and if a man salute thee thou shalt not answer him: and thou shalt lay my staff on the child's face.
Kana irratti Elsaaʼi Gehaaziin akkana jedhe; “Sabbataan mudhii kee hidhadhuutii, ulee koo harkatti qabadhuutii fiigi. Nama karaatti argite tokko illee hin dubbisin; yoo namni kam iyyuu si dubbise deebii hin kenniniif; ulee koos fuula mucaa sanaa irra kaaʼi.”
30 And the mother of the child said, [As] the Lord lives and [as] thy soul lives, I will not leave thee. And Elisaie arose, and went after her.
Haati daaʼima sanaa garuu, “Dhugaa Waaqayyo jiraataa, ani lubbuu keetiin nan kakadha; ani si dhiisee hin deemu” jette. Kanaafuu inni kaʼee ishee duukaa buʼe.
31 And Giezi went on before her, and laid his staff on the child's face: but there was neither voice nor any hearing. So he returned to meet him, and told him, saying, The child is not awaked.
Gehaaz isaan dura darbee ulee sana fuula mucaa irra kaaʼe; garuu sagaleen yookaan mallattoon tokko iyyuu hin turre. Kanaaf Gehaaz gara Elsaaʼitti deebiʼee, “Mucaan hin dammaqne” jedhee itti hime.
32 And Elisaie went into the house, and, behold, the dead child was laid upon his bed.
Yommuu Elsaaʼi mana gaʼetti mucaan sun duʼee siree isaa irra ciisaa ture.
33 And Elisaie went into the house, and shut the door upon themselves, the two, and prayed to the Lord.
Elsaaʼis ol seenee, ofii fi mucaatti balbala cufee Waaqayyoon kadhate.
34 And he went up, and lay upon the child, and put his mouth upon his mouth, and his eyes upon his eyes, and his hands upon his hands; and bowed himself upon him, and the flesh of the child grew warm.
Ergasiis siree yaabbatee, afaan isaa afaan mucaa irra, ija isaa ija mucaa irra, harka isaa harka mucaa irra kaaʼee mucicha irra ciise. Akkuma inni mucaa sana irratti diriireen dhagni mucaa hoʼuu jalqabe.
35 And he returned, and walked up and down in the house: and he went up, and bowed himself on the child seven times; and the child opened his eyes.
Elsaaʼi achi garagalee mana keessa asii fi achi nanaannaʼee amma illee siree yaabbatee mucaa irratti diriire. Mucaan sunis yeroo torba haxxifatee ija banate.
36 And Elisaie cried out to Giezi, and said, Call this Somanite. So he called her, and she came in to him: and Elisaie said, Take thy son.
Elsaaʼis Gehaazin waamee, “Dubartii Suunam sana as waami” jedhe. Innis ishee waame. Elsaaʼi yommuu isheen gara isaa dhuftetti, “Kunoo mucaa kee fudhadhu” jedheen.
37 And the woman went in, and fell at his feet, and did obeisance [bowing] to the ground; and she took her son, and went out.
Isheen ol seentee, miilla isaa irratti kuftee addaan lafatti gombifamte. Ergasiis mucaa ishee fudhattee gad baate.
38 And Elisaie returned to Galgala: and a famine [was] in the land; and the sons of the prophets sat before him: and Elisaie said to his servant, Set on the great pot, and boil pottage for the sons of the prophets.
Elsaaʼis kaʼee Gilgaalitti deebiʼe; yeroo sanatti biyya sana keessa beelatu ture. Innis utuu waldaan raajotaa fuula isaa dura taaʼaa jiranii tajaajilaa isaatiin, “Okkotee guddicha ibiddaa irra kaaʼiitii namoota kanaaf ittoo bilcheessi” jedhe.
39 And he went out into the field to gather herbs, and found a vine in the field, and gathered of it wild gourds, his garment full; and he cast it into the caldron of pottage, for they knew [them] not.
Isaan keessaa namni tokko raafuu funaannachuuf gad baʼee wayinii bosonaa tokko arge. Wayinii bosonaa sana irraa wiillee ciree dachaa uffata isaa guuttate. Yeroo deebiʼettis buqqee sana murmuree okkotee ittoo sanatti naqe. Namni tokko iyyuu waan sana hin beeku tureetii.
40 And he poured it out for the men to eat: and it came to pass, when they were eating of the pottage, that lo! they cried out, and said, [There is] death in the pot, O man of God. And they could not eat.
Ittoon sunis jaraaf dhiʼeeffame; isaan garuu akkuma nyaachuu jalqabaniin, “Yaa nama Waaqaa, okkotee kana keessa duʼatu jira!” jedhanii iyyan. Isaanis ittoo sana nyaachuu hin dandeenye.
41 And he said, Take meal, and cast it into the pot. And Elisaie said to his servant Giezi, Pour out for the people, and let them eat. And there was no longer there any hurtful thing in the pot.
Elsaaʼi, “Daakuu wayii naa fidaa” jedhe. Daakuu sanas okkoteetti naqee, “Akka nyaataniif namootaaf dhiʼeessaa” jedhe. Ergasii wanni nama miidhu tokko iyyuu okkotee sana keessatti hin argamne.
42 And there came a man over from Baetharisa, and brought to the man of God twenty barley loaves and cakes of figs, of the first-fruits. And he said, Give to the people, and let them eat.
Namichi tokko buddeena garbuu kan mataa midhaan bilchaatee irraa tolfame digdamaa fi asheetii midhaanii nama Waaqaa sanaaf fidee Baʼaal Shaaliishaadhaa dhufe. Elsaaʼis, “Akka isaan nyaataniif namootaaf kenni” jedhe.
43 And his servant said, Why should I set this before a hundred men? and he said, Give to the people, and let them eat; for thus saith the Lord, They shall eat and leave.
Tajaajilaan isaa immoo, “Ani akkamiinan waan kana nama dhibba tokko duratti dhiʼeessuu dandaʼa?” jedhee gaafate. Elsaaʼi garuu, “Akka isaan nyaataniif namootaaf kenni. Waaqayyo akkana jedhaatii; ‘Isaan nyaatanii hambaa illee ni qabaatu’” jedhee deebise.
44 And they ate and left, according to the word of the Lord.
Innis fuudhee isaan duratti dhiʼeesse; isaanis akkuma dubbii Waaqayyoo sanaatti nyaatanii hambaa hambisan.
