< 2 Kings 3 >

1 And Jehoram son of Ahab has reigned over Israel, in Samaria, in the eighteenth year of Jehoshaphat king of Judah, and he reigns twelve years,
Yehooraam ilmi Ahaab bara Yehooshaafaax mooticha Yihuudaa keessa waggaa kudha saddeettaffaatti Samaariyaa keessatti mootii Israaʼel taʼee waggaa kudha lama bulche.
2 and does evil in the eyes of YHWH, only not like his father, and like his mother, and he turns aside the standing-pillar of Ba‘al that his father 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 surely he has cleaved to the sins of Jeroboam son of Nebat that he caused Israel to sin; he has not turned aside from it.
Taʼus cubbuu Yerobiʼaam ilma Nebaat kan inni saba Israaʼel hojjechiise sana cimsee qabate malee irraa hin deebine.
4 And Mesha king of Moab was a sheep-master, and he rendered to the king of Israel one hundred thousand lambs and one hundred thousand rams, [with] 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 comes to pass at the death of Ahab, that the king of Moab transgresses against the king of Israel.
Erga Ahaab duʼee garuu mootichi Moʼaab mootii Israaʼelitti ni fincile.
6 And King Jehoram goes out from Samaria in that day, and inspects all Israel,
Kanaafuu yeroo sanatti Yehooraam mootichi Samaariyaadhaa kaʼee saba Israaʼel hunda duulaaf hiriirse.
7 and goes and sends to Jehoshaphat king of Judah, saying, “The king of Moab has transgressed against me; do you go with me to Moab for battle?” And he says, “I go up, as I, so you; as my people, so your people; as my horses, so 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 says, “Where [is] this—the way we go up?” And he says, “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 goes, and the king of Judah, and the king of Edom, and they turn around the way seven days, and there has been no water for the camp, and for the livestock that [are] at their feet,
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 says, “Aah! For YHWH has called for these three kings 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 Jehoshaphat says, “Is there not a prophet of YHWH here, and we seek YHWH by him?” And one of the servants of the king of Israel answers and says, “Here [is] Elisha son of Shaphat, who poured water on the hands of Elijah.”
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 Jehoshaphat says, “The word of YHWH is with him”; and the king of Israel goes down to him, and Jehoshaphat, and the king of Edom.
Yehooshaafaaxis, “Dubbiin Waaqayyoo isa bira jira” jedhe. Kanaafuu mootiin Israaʼel, Yehooshaafaaxii fi mootiin Edoom gara Elsaaʼitti gad buʼan.
13 And Elisha says to the king of Israel, “And what do I [have to do] with you? Go to the prophets of your father, and to the prophets of your mother”; and the king of Israel says to him, “No, for YHWH has called for these three kings to give them into the hand 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 Elisha says, “YHWH of Hosts lives, before whom I have stood; for unless I am lifting up the face of Jehoshaphat king of Judah, I do not look to you, nor see 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, bring a musician to me”; and it has been, at the playing of the musician, that the hand of YHWH is on him,
Amma garuu nama baganaa taphatu tokko naa fidaa.” Utuma namichi sun baganaa taphachaa jiruu harki Waaqayyoo Elsaaʼi irra buʼe;
16 and he says, “Thus said YHWH: Make this valley ditches—ditches;
innis akkana jedhe; “Waaqayyo akkana jedha: Sulula kana keessatti boolla hedduu qotaa.
17 for thus said YHWH: You do not see wind, nor do you see rain, and that valley is full of water, and you have drunk—you, and your livestock, and your beasts.
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 has been light in the eyes of YHWH, and he has given Moab into your hand,
Wanni kun fuula Waaqayyoo duratti waan salphaa dha; inni Moʼaabinis dabarsee harka keessanitti ni kenna.
19 and you have struck every fortified city, and every choice city, and you cause every good tree to fall, and you stop all fountains of waters, and you mar every good portion 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 comes to pass in the morning, at the ascending of the [morning] present, that behold, waters are coming in from the way of Edom, and the land is filled with the waters,
Guyyaa itti aanu ganama gara saʼaatii aarsaan itti dhiʼeeffamuutti kunoo karaa Edoomiin bishaan gad ni dhangalaʼe! Biyyi sunis bishaaniin guutamte.
21 and all of Moab has heard that the kings have come up to fight against them, and they are called together, from everyone girding on a girdle and upward, and they stand by 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 rise early in the morning, and the sun has shone on the waters, and the Moabites see, from opposite [them], [that] the waters [are] 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 say, “This [is] blood; the kings have been surely destroyed, and they each strike his neighbor; and now for spoil, Moab!”
Isaanis, “Wanni sun dhiiga! Mootonni sun wal lolanii wal fixuun isaanii hin oolu. Kanaafuu yaa Moʼaab boojuudhaaf kaʼi!” jedhan.
24 And they come to the camp of Israel, and Israel rises, and strikes the Moabites, and they flee from their face; and they enter into Moab, so as to strike Moab,
Garuu yeroo Moʼaabonni qubata Israaʼel gaʼanitti, Israaʼeloonni itti kaʼanii lolan; jarri sunis ni baqatan. Israaʼeloonnis biyya sana weeraranii Moʼaabota gogorraʼan.
25 and they break down the cities, and they each cast his stone [on] every good portion, and have filled it, and they stop every fountain of water, and they cause every good tree to fall—until one had left its stones in Kir-Haraseth, and the slingers go around and strike 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 sees that the battle has been too strong for him, and he takes with him seven hundred men drawing sword, to cleave through to the king of Edom, and they have not been able,
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 takes his son, the firstborn who reigns in his stead, and causes him to ascend [as] a burnt-offering on the wall, and there is great wrath against Israel, and they journey from off him, and return to the 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.
