< Kings IV 3 >

1 And Joram the son of Achaab began to reign in Israel in the eighteenth year of Josaphat king of Juda, and he 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 the Lord, only not as his father, nor as his mother: and he removed the pillars of Baal which 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 Only he adhered to the sin of Jeroboam the son of Nabat, who made Israel to sin; he departed not from it.
Taʼus cubbuu Yerobiʼaam ilma Nebaat kan inni saba Israaʼel hojjechiise sana cimsee qabate malee irraa hin deebine.
4 And Mosa king of Moab was a sheep-master, and he rendered to the king of Israel in the beginning [of the year], a hundred thousand lambs, and a hundred thousand rams, with the wool.
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 And it came to pass, after the death of Achaab, that the king of Moab rebelled against the king of Israel.
Erga Ahaab duʼee garuu mootichi Moʼaab mootii Israaʼelitti ni fincile.
6 And king Joram went forth in that day out of Samaria, and numbered Israel.
Kanaafuu yeroo sanatti Yehooraam mootichi Samaariyaadhaa kaʼee saba Israaʼel hunda duulaaf hiriirse.
7 And he went and sent to Josaphat king of Juda, saying, The king of Moab has rebelled against me: will you go with me against Moab to war? And he said, I will go up: you are as I, I am as you; as my people, so [is] your people, as my horses, so [are] your 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, What way shall I go up? and he said, The way of the wilderness of Edom.
Innis, “Karaa kamiin yaana?” jedhee gaafate. Yehooraam immoo, “Karaa Gammoojjii Edoomiitiin” jedhee deebiseef.
9 And the king of Israel went, and the king of Juda, and the king of Edom: and they fetched a compass of seven days' journey; and there was no water for the army, and for the cattle that went with 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! that the Lord should have called the three kings on their way, to give 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 And Josaphat said, Is there not here a prophet of the Lord, that we may enquire of the Lord by him? And one of the servants of the king of Israel answered and said, [There is] here Elisaie son of Saphat, who poured water on the hands of Eliu.
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 Josaphat said, He has the word of the Lord. And the king of Israel, and Josaphat king of Juda, 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 Elisaie said to the king of Israel, What have I to do with you? go to the prophets of your father, and the prophets of your mother. And the king of Israel said to him, Has the Lord called the three kings to deliver them into the hands 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 Elisaie said, [As] the Lord of hosts before whom I stand lives, unless I regarded the presence of Josaphat the king of Juda, I would not have looked on you, nor seen you.
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 And now fetch me a harper. And it came to pass, as the harper harped, that the hand of the Lord 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 says the Lord, Make this valley full of trenches.
innis akkana jedhe; “Waaqayyo akkana jedha: Sulula kana keessatti boolla hedduu qotaa.
17 For thus says the Lord, You shall not see wind, neither shall you see rain, yet this valley shall be filled with water, and you, and your flocks, and your cattle shall drink.
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] a light [thing] in the eyes of the Lord: I will also deliver Moab into your hand.
Wanni kun fuula Waaqayyoo duratti waan salphaa dha; inni Moʼaabinis dabarsee harka keessanitti ni kenna.
19 And you shall strike every strong city, and you shall cut down every good tree, and you shall stop all wells of water, and spoil 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, when the sacrifice was offered, that, behold! waters came from the way of Edom, and the land 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 And all Moab heard that the three kings were come up to fight against them; and they cried out on every [side, even] all that were girded with a girdle, and they said, Ho! and stood upon 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 early in the morning, and the sun rose upon the waters, and Moab saw the waters on the opposite side 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] the blood of the sword; and the kings have fought, and each man has struck his neighbor; now then to the spoils, Moab.
Isaanis, “Wanni sun dhiiga! Mootonni sun wal lolanii wal fixuun isaanii hin oolu. Kanaafuu yaa Moʼaab boojuudhaaf kaʼi!” jedhan.
24 And they entered into the camp of Israel; and Israel arose and struck Moab, and they fled from before them; and they went on and struck Moab as they went.
Garuu yeroo Moʼaabonni qubata Israaʼel gaʼanitti, Israaʼeloonni itti kaʼanii lolan; jarri sunis ni baqatan. Israaʼeloonnis biyya sana weeraranii Moʼaabota gogorraʼan.
25 And they razed the cities, and cast every man his stone on every good piece [of land] and filled it; and they stopped every well, and cut down every good tree, until they left [only] the stones of the wall cast down; and the slingers compassed [the land], and struck 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 the king of Moab saw that the battle prevailed against him; and he took with him seven hundred men that drew sword, to cut through to the king of Edom: and 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 And he took his oldest son whom he had designed to reign in his stead, and offered him up for a whole burnt offering on the walls. And there was a great indignation against Israel; and they departed from him, and returned to their 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.
