< 2 Kings 8 >

1 Elisha told the woman whose son he had brought back to life, “You and your family need to pack up and leave, and live where you can somewhere else like a foreigner. For the Lord announced a famine will come to the land and will last seven years.”
Yeroo kanatti Elsaaʼi dubartii ilma ishee duʼaa kaaseef sanaan, “Sababii Waaqayyo beela waggaa torba turu tokko biyya kanatti ajajeef, maatii kee wajjin asii deemiitii iddoo jiraachuu dandeessu kam iyyuu jiraadhu” jedhe.
2 The woman packed up and did what the man of God had told her. She and her family went and lived as foreigners for seven years in the country of the Philistines.
Dubartiin sunis kaatee akkuma namni Waaqaa sun jedheen goote. Ishee fi maatiin ishee dhaqanii biyya Filisxeemotaa keessa waggaa torba jiraatan.
3 When the seven years were over, she came back from the country of the Philistines and went to the king to appeal for the return of her house and lands.
Isheenis dhuma waggaa torbaatti biyya Filisxeemotaatii deebitee manaa fi lafa ishee kadhachuuf gara mootichaa ni dhaqxe.
4 The king was talking with Gehazi, the servant of the man of God, asking him, “Please tell me about all the wonderful things Elisha did.”
Mootichis, “Mee waan Elsaaʼi hojjete gurguddaa natti himi” jedhee Gehaaz tajaajilaa nama Waaqaa sana wajjin haasaʼaa ture.
5 It so happened that right then Gehazi was telling the king the story of how Elisha had brought the dead boy back to life when his mother arrived to make her appeal to the king for the return of her house and lands. “My lord the king,” Gehazi called out, “this is the woman, and this is her son that Elisha brought back to life.”
Utuma Gehaaz akka Elsaaʼi nama duʼe illee duʼaa kaase isatti himuutti jiruu dubartiin Elsaaʼi ilma ishee duʼaa kaaseef sun manaa fi lafa ishee kadhachuudhaaf gara mootichaa dhufte. Gehaazis, “Yaa gooftaa koo mooticha, dubartiin Elsaaʼi mucaa ishee duʼaa kaaseef sun kunoo ti” jedhe.
6 The king asked the woman about it and she explained the whole story to him. The king gave orders to an official, saying, “Make sure everything that belonged to her is returned to her, together with all the profit from her lands from the day that she left the country until now.”
Mootichi waaʼee waan sanaa dubartittii gaafate; isheenis itti himte. Innis ergasii qondaala tokko dubbii isheetti ramadee, “Galii guyyaa isheen biyyaa baatee jalqabee lafa qotiisaa ishee irraa argame hunda itti dabaliitii waan kan ishee ture hunda deebisiif” jedheen.
7 Elisha went to Damascus when Ben-hadad king of Aram was ill. The king was informed, “The man of God has arrived in town.”
Elsaaʼi Damaasqoo dhaqe; Ben-Hadaad mootichi Sooriyaa immoo dhukkubsatee ture. Mootiin sunis yommuu, “Namni Waaqaa sun as dhufee jira” jedhanii itti himanitti,
8 The king ordered Hazael, “Take a gift with you and go and meet the man of God. Ask him to ask the Lord, ‘Will I recover from this illness?’”
Hazaaʼeeliin akkana jedhe; “Kennaa wayii fudhadhuutii dhaqii nama Waaqaa sana simadhu. Karaa isaatiinis, ‘Ani dhukkuba kana irraa nan hafaa?’ jedhii Waaqayyoon gaafadhu.”
9 So Hazael went to meet Elisha. He took with him a gift of all the best things from Damascus—forty camel-loads of goods. He came in and stood before him and said, “Your son Ben-hadad, king of Aram, has sent me to you to ask, ‘Will I recover from this illness?’”
Hazaaʼeelis waan Damaasqoo keessaa akka malee gaggaarii taʼe fudhatee kennaa feʼiisa gaala afurtamaatiin Elsaaʼin simachuu dhaqe. Ol seenees fuula isaa dura dhaabatee, “Ilma kee Ben-Hadaad mooticha Sooriyaatu, ‘Ani dhukkuba kana irraa hafaa?’ jedhee sitti na erge” jedheen.
10 “Go and tell him, ‘You will definitely recover.’ But the Lord has shown me that definitely he is going to die,” Elisha replied.
Elsaaʼi immoo, “Dhaqiitii, ‘Ati dhugumaan irraa hafta’ jedhiin; garuu Waaqayyo akka inni dhugumaan duʼu na argisiiseera” jedhee deebiseef.
11 Elisha stared at him for a long time until Hazael became uncomfortable. Then the man of God started to cry.
Elsaaʼi hamma Hazaaʼeel qaanaʼutti utuu ija irraa hin buqqifatin isa ilaale. Ergasii namni Waaqaa sun booʼuu jalqabe.
12 “Why are you crying, my lord?” asked Hazael. “Because I know the evil things you are going to do to the Israelites,” Elisha replied. “You will set their fortresses on fire, kill their young men with the sword, dash to pieces their little ones, and rip open their pregnant women.”
Hazaaʼeelis, “Gooftaan koo maaliif booʼa?” jedhee gaafate. Inni immoo akkana jedhee deebise; “Sababii ani miidhaa ati Israaʼelitti fiddu beekuuf; ati daʼannoo isaaniitti ibidda naqxa; dargaggoota isaanii goraadeedhaan fixxa; daaʼimman isaanii lafaan dhooftee mimmiciriqsita; dubartoota isaanii kanneen ulfaaʼan garaa baqaqsita.”
13 “But how could someone like me who's just a ‘dog’ achieve anything like that?” Hazael asked. “The Lord has shown me that you are going to be the king of Aram,” Elisha replied.
Hazaaʼeel, “Ani garbichi kee sareen kun akkamiin waan hamtuu akkanaa hojjedha?” jedhe. Elsaaʼi immoo, “Waaqayyo akka ati mootii Sooriyaa taatu na argisiiseera” jedhee deebiseef.
14 Hazael left Elisha and went to his master, who asked him, “What did Elisha tell you?” Hazael replied, “He told me you would definitely recover.”
Hazaaʼeel ergasii Elsaaʼi biraa baʼee gara gooftaa isaatti deebiʼe. Yommuu Ben-Hadaad, “Elsaaʼi maal siin jedhe?” jedhee gaafatettis, Hazaaʼeel, “Inni akka ati dhugumaan irraa haftu natti hime” jedhee deebise.
15 But the following day Hazael took the bed cover, soaked it in water, and spread it over the king's face until he died. Then Hazael took over from him as king.
Inni garuu guyyaa itti aanu wayyaa furdaa tokko fuudhee bishaan keessa cuuphee fuula mootichaa haguuge; akkasiin mootichi duʼe. Ergasii Hazaaʼeel iddoo isaa buʼee mootii taʼe.
16 Jehoram, son of Jehoshaphat, began his reign as king of Judah in the fifth year of the reign of Joram, son of Ahab, king of Israel, while Jehoshaphat was still king of Judah.
Bara Yehooraam ilma Ahaab mooticha Israaʼel keessa waggaa shanaffaatti Yooraam ilmi Yehooshaafaax mooticha Yihuudaa sun mootii taʼee bulchuu jalqabe.
17 He was thirty-two when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem for eight years.
Yeroo sanatti umuriin isaa waggaa soddomii lama ture; innis Yerusaalem keessa taaʼee waggaa saddeet ni bulche.
18 Jehoram followed the ways of the kings of Israel, just as the house of Ahab had done, for he married a daughter of Ahab and did what was evil in the Lord's sight.
Innis akkuma manni Ahaab godhee ture sana karaa mootota Israaʼel duukaa buʼe; intala Ahaab fuudhee tureetii. Fuula Waaqayyoo durattis waan hamaa hojjete.
19 But for the sake of David his servant the Lord didn't want to destroy Judah since he had promised him that there would always be a ruler from his descendants, like a lamp forever.
Taʼus Waaqayyo sababii garbicha isaa Daawitiif jedhee Yihuudaa balleessuun fedhii Waaqayyoo hin turre. Inni Daawitii fi sanyii isaatiif ibsaa bara baraa dhaabuuf kakuu galee ture.
20 During Jehoram's time as king, Edom rebelled against Judah's rule and chose their own king.
Bara Yooraam keessa Edoom Yihuudaatti fincilee mootii ofii isaa moosifate.
21 So Jehoram went over to Zair with all his chariots. The Edomites surrounded him and his chariot commanders, but he took action and attacked at night. But his army ran back to their homes.
Kanaafuu Yooraam gaariiwwan isaa hunda wajjin Zaaʼiiri dhaqe. Warri Edoomis isaa fi ajajjoota gaariiwwan isaa marsan; inni garuu halkaniin kaʼee isaan ni dhaʼe; loltoonni isaa garuu gara biyya isaaniitti baqatan.
22 As a result Edom has been in rebellion against Judah's rule to this day. At the same time Libnah also decided to rebel.
Edoom hamma harʼaatti illee akkuma Yihuudaatti finciletti jira. Libnaanis yeruma sanatti fincile.
23 The rest of what happened in Jehoram's reign and all that he did are recorded in the Book of Chronicles of the Kings of Judah.
Wantoonni bara mootummaa Yooraam keessa hojjetaman kan biraatii fi wanni inni hojjete hundi kitaaba seenaa mootota Yihuudaa keessatti barreeffamaniiru mitii?
24 Jehoram died and was buried with his forefathers in the City of David. His son Ahaziah succeeded him as king.
Yooraam abbootii ofii wajjin boqotee Magaalaa Daawit keessatti isaan biratti ni awwaalame. Ahaaziyaan ilmi isaa iddoo isaa buʼee mootii taʼe.
25 Ahaziah, son of Jehoram, became king of Judah in the twelfth year of the reign of Joram, son of Ahab, king of Israel.
Bara Yehooraam ilma Ahaab mooticha Israaʼel keessa waggaa kudha lammaffaatti Ahaaziyaan ilmi Yooraam mootii Yihuudaa taʼee bulchuu jalqabe.
26 Ahaziah was twenty-two when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem for one year. His mother's name was Athaliah, the granddaughter of Omri, king of Israel.
Ahaaziyaan yeroo mootii taʼetti umuriin isaa waggaa digdamii lama ture; innis Yerusaalem keessa taaʼee waggaa tokko ni bulche. Maqaan haadha isaa Ataaliyaa dha; isheenis intala ilma Omrii mooticha Israaʼel sanaa turte.
27 Ahaziah also followed the evil ways of the family of Ahab, and did what was evil in the Lord's sight as the family of Ahab had done, for he was related to them by marriage.
Innis karaa mana Ahaab duukaa buʼee, akkuma manni Ahaab godhe sana fuula Waaqayyoo duratti waan hamaa hojjete; inni karaa fuudhaatiin maatii Ahaabitti firoomee tureetii.
28 Ahaziah went with Joram, son of Ahab, to fight against Hazael, king of Aram, at Ramoth-gilead. The Arameans wounded Joram,
Ahaaziyaanis Yooraam ilma Ahaab wajjin Hazaaʼeel mooticha Arraam loluudhaaf Raamoot Giliʼaaditti duule. Warri Arraamis Yooraamin ni madeessan;
29 and he returned to Jezreel to recover from the wounds he'd received in Ramah fighting against Hazael king of Aram. Ahaziah, son of Jehoram, king of Judah, went to Jezreel to visit Joram, son of Ahab, because Joram was wounded.
kanaafuu Yehooraam mootichi madaa warri Arraam yeroo inni Raamaat keessatti Hazaaʼeel mooticha Arraam wajjin wal loletti isa madeessan sana fayyuuf jedhee Yizriʼeelitti deebiʼe. Kana irratti Ahaaziyaan ilmi Yooraam mootichi Yihuudaa sababii inni madaaʼee tureef Yooraam ilma Ahaab arguuf gara Yizriʼeelitti gad buʼe.
