2 Kings 2
1 And it comes to pass, at YHWH’s taking up Elijah to the heavens in a whirlwind, that Elijah goes, and Elisha, from Gilgal,
Yeroo Waaqayyo bubbeedhaan Eeliyaasin gara Samiitti ol fudhachuu gaʼetti Eeliyaasii fi Elsaaʼi Gilgaalii kaʼanii karaa deemaa turan.
2 and Elijah says to Elisha, “Please abide here, for YHWH has sent me to Beth-El”; and Elisha says, “YHWH lives, and your soul lives, if I leave you”; and they go 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 sons of the prophets who [are] in Beth-El come out to Elisha, and say to him, “Have you known that today YHWH is taking your lord from your head?” And he says, “I also have known—keep silent.”
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 And Elijah says to him, “Elisha, please abide here, for YHWH has sent me to Jericho”; and he says, “YHWH lives, and your soul lives, if I leave you”; and they come 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 sons of the prophets who [are] in Jericho come near to Elisha, and say to him, “Have you known that today YHWH is taking your lord from your head?” And he says, “I also have known—keep silent.”
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 And Elijah says to him, “Please abide here, for YHWH has sent me to the Jordan”; and he says, “YHWH lives, and your soul lives, if I leave you”; and both of them go on—
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 have gone on, and stand opposite [them] far off—and both of them have stood by the Jordan.
Isaanis Yordaanos bira dhaabatan; waldaa raajotaa keessaa namoonni shantamni dhaqanii irraa fagaatanii fuula isaanii dura dhadhaabatan.
8 And Elijah takes his robe, and wraps [it] together, and strikes the waters, and they are halved, here and there, and both of them pass 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 it comes to pass, at their passing over, that Elijah has said to Elisha, “Ask what I do for you before I am taken from you.” And Elisha says, “Indeed, please let there be a double portion of your spirit to 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 says, “You have asked a hard thing; if you see me taken from you, it is to you so; and if not, it is not.”
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 it comes to pass, they are going, going on and speaking, and behold, a chariot of fire and horses of fire [appear], and they separate between them both, and Elijah goes up to the heavens in a whirlwind.
Utuma isaan haasaʼaa deemanuu gaariin ibiddaa tokkoo fi fardeen ibiddaa akkuma tasaa mulʼatanii isaan lamaan gargari baasan; Eeliyaasis bubbeedhaan samiitti ol fudhatame.
12 And Elisha is seeing, and he is crying, “My father! My father! The chariot of Israel and its horsemen!” And he has not seen him again; and he takes hold on his garments and tears them into two pieces.
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 And he takes up the robe of Elijah that fell from off him, and turns back and stands on the edge of the Jordan,
Innis kaabbaa Eeliyaas irraa buʼe sana fuudhee deebiʼee qarqara laga Yordaanos dhaabate.
14 and he takes the robe of Elijah that fell from off him, and strikes the waters, and says, “Where [is] YHWH, God of Elijah—even He?” And he strikes the waters, and they are halved, here and there, and Elisha passes 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 they see him—the sons of the prophets who [are] in Jericho—from opposite [them], and they say, “The spirit of Elijah has rested on Elisha”; and they come to meet him, and bow themselves to him to the earth,
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 say to him, “Now behold, there are fifty men with your servants, sons of valor: please let them go, and they seek your lord, lest the Spirit of YHWH has taken him up, and casts him on one of the hills or into one of the valleys”; and he says, “You do not send.”
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 And they press on him, until he is ashamed, and he says, “Send”; and they send fifty men, and they seek three days, and have not found 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 return to him—and he is abiding in Jericho—and he says to them, “Did I not say to you, Do not go?”
Isaanis utuma inni Yerikoo jiruu deebiʼanii gara isaa dhufan; innis, “Ani hin deeminaa isiniin hin jennee?” jedheen.
19 And the men of the city say to Elisha, “Now behold, the site of the city [is] good, as my lord sees, and the waters [are] bad, and the earth sterile.”
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 And he says, “Bring a new dish to me, and place salt there”; and they bring [it] to him,
Innis, “Mee waciitii haaraa naa fidaatii soogidda itti naqaa” jedheen. Kanaafuu isaan waciitii sana itti fidan.
21 and he goes out to the source of the waters, and casts salt there, and says, “Thus said YHWH: I have given healing to these waters; there is not anymore death and sterility there.”
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 waters are healed to this day, according to the word of Elisha that he spoke.
Bishaan sunis akkuma dubbii Elsaaʼi dubbate sanaatti hamma ammaatti fayyeera.
23 And he goes up from there to Beth-El, and he is going up in the way, and little youths have come out from the city, and scoff at him, and say to him, “Go up, bald-head! Go up, bald-head!”
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 he looks behind him, and sees them, and declares them vile in the Name of YHWH, and two bears come out of the forest and ripped apart forty-two of the boys.
Inni of irra garagalee isaan milʼatee maqaa Waaqayyootiin isaan abaare. Yommus amaakenni lama bosona keessaa baʼanii ijoollee sana keessaa afurtamii lama cicciranii fixan.
25 And he goes from there to the hill of Carmel, and from there he has turned back to Samaria.
Elsaaʼis ittuma fufee gara Tulluu Qarmeloos dhaqe; achii kaʼees Samaariyaatti deebiʼe.
