2 Kings 13
1 After Joash had been ruling Judah for almost 23 years, Jehu’s son Jehoahaz became the king of Israel. He ruled in Samaria [city] for 17 years.
Bara mootummaa Yooʼaash ilma Ahaaziyaa mooticha Yihuudaa keessa waggaa digdamii sadaffaatti Yehooʼaahaaz ilmi Yehuu Samaariyaa keessatti mootii Israaʼel taʼee waggaa kudha torba bulche.
2 He did many things that Yahweh considered to be evil and committed the same kind of sins that Jeroboam had committed, sins which led the people of Israel to sin. He did not stop committing those sins.
Inni cubbuu Yerobiʼaam ilma Nebaat kan inni akka sabni Israaʼel hojjetu godhe sana duukaa buʼuudhaan fuula Waaqayyoo duratti waan hamaa hojjete; cubbuu sana irraas hin deebine.
3 So Yahweh became very angry with the Israeli people, and he allowed the army of King Hazael of Syria and his son Ben-Hadad to defeat the Israelis many times.
Kanaafuu dheekkamsi Waaqayyoo Waaqaa Israaʼelitti ni bobaʼe; innis yeroo dheeraadhaaf dabarsee harka Hazaaʼeel mooticha Sooriyaattii fi harka ilma isaa Ben-Hadaadiitti isaan kenne.
4 Then Jehoahaz prayed to Yahweh [for help], and Yahweh heeded him, because he saw that the army of the king of Syria was oppressing the Israelis.
Yehooʼaahaaz fuula Waaqayyoo barbaaddate; Waaqayyos akka mootiin Sooriyaa sun akka malee Israaʼelin cunqurse argee kadhaa isaa dhagaʼeef.
5 Yahweh sent a leader to Israel, who enabled them to be freed from being controlled by Syria. After that, the Israeli people lived peacefully as they had done previously.
Waaqayyos nama isaan baraaru tokko Israaʼeliif kenne; akkasiin isaan harka warra Sooriyaa jalaa ni baʼan. Kanaafuu Israaʼeloonni akkuma duraatti dunkaana isaanii keessa jiraatan.
6 But they still continued to commit the same kind of sins that Jeroboam and his family had committed and which led the Israelis to [also] sin. And the statue of the goddess Asherah remained in Samaria.
Isaan garuu cubbuu mana Yerobiʼaam kan inni akka Israaʼel hojjetu godhe sana irraa hin deebine; ittuma fufanii keessa jiraatan. Siidaan Aasheeraas Samaariyaa keessa dhaabatee hafe.
7 Jehoahaz had only 50 men who rode on horses and ten chariots and 10,000 other soldiers, because the army of Syria had killed all the rest, trampling them like people walk on dirt.
Loltoota Yehooʼaahaaz keessaa loltoota fardaa shantama, gaariiwwan kudhanii fi loltoota lafoo kuma kudhan malee tokko iyyuu hin hafne; mootiin Sooriyaa warra kaan hunda balleessee akkuma awwaara yeroo midhaan dhaʼanii isaan godhee tureetii.
8 [If you want to read about] [RHQ] everything else that Jehoahaz did, you can read about it in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Israel’.
Wanni bara mootummaa Yehooʼaahaaz keessa hojjetame biraa, wanni inni hojjete hundii fi jabinni isaa kitaaba seenaa mootota Israaʼel keessatti barreeffameera mitii?
9 Jehoahaz died [EUP] and was buried in Samaria. Then his son Jehoash became the king.
Yehooʼaahaaz abbootii isaa wajjin boqotee Samaariyaa keessatti ni awwaalame. Yooʼaash ilmi isaa iddoo isaa buʼee mootii taʼe.
10 Jehoash, the son of Jehoahaz, started to rule in Israel after King Joash had been ruling in Judah for 23 years. Jehoash ruled in Samaria for 17 years.
Bara Yooʼaash mooticha Yihuudaa keessa waggaa soddomii torbaffaatti Yooʼaash ilmi Yehooʼaahaaz Samaariyaa keessatti mootii Israaʼel taʼee waggaa kudha jaʼa isaan bulche.
11 He did many things that Yahweh considered to be evil. He refused to turn away from worshiping idols, which was the sin that [many years earlier King] Jeroboam had told the Israeli people to commit.
Inni fuula Waaqayyoo duratti cubbuu hojjetee cubbuu Yerobiʼaam ilma Nebaat kan inni akka sabni Israaʼel hojjetu godhe sana keessaa tokko irraa iyyuu hin deebine; innis ittuma fufee cubbuu keessa jiraate.
12 The other things that happened while Jehoash was king and all the things that he did are written in the book called ‘The Account of What the Kings of Israel Did’. In that account they wrote about Jehoash’s [army’s] victories, and their war with [the army of] King Amaziah of Judah.
Wantoonni bara mootummaa Yooʼaash keessa hojjetaman biraa, wanni inni hojjete hundii fi jabinni isaa, waraanni inni Amasiyaa mooticha Yihuudaa irratti deemsises kitaaba seenaa mootota Israaʼel keessatti barreeffamaniiru mitii?
13 When Jehoash died, he was buried in Samaria where the [other] kings of Israel were buried. Then his son Jeroboam became king.
Yooʼaash abbootii isaa wajjin boqotee Yerobiʼaam iddoo isaa buʼee teessoo irra taaʼe. Yooʼaash Samaariyaa keessatti mootota Israaʼel biratti ni awwaalame.
14 Elisha became very ill. Just before he died, King Jehoash went to Elisha and cried in front of him. [Saying the same words that Elisha had said when Elijah was taken to heaven], he said, “My father/master! My father/master! The chariots of us Israeli people and their drivers [are taking my master away]!”
Yeroo kanatti Elsaaʼi dhukkuba duʼaan isa gaʼuun dhiphachaa ture. Yooʼaash mootichi Israaʼel isa ilaaluu gad buʼee isatti booʼe. Innis, “Yaa abbaa koo! Yaa abbaa koo! Yaa gaariiwwanii fi yaa abbootii fardaa Israaʼel!” jedhee iyye.
15 Elisha said to him, “Bring to me a bow and some arrows!” So the king did that.
Elsaaʼi, “Iddaa fi xiyya wayii fudhadhu” jedheen; innis ni fudhate.
16 Then Elisha told the king to put his hands on the bow [and prepare to shoot some arrows]. And then Elisha put his own hands on the king’s hands.
Elsaaʼi immoo mooticha Israaʼeliin, “Iddaa harkatti qabadhu” jedhe; inni fuunaan Elsaaʼi harka ofii isaa fuudhee harka mootichaa irra kaaʼe.
17 Then Elisha told him, “[Have someone] open that window toward the east.” So they opened it. Then Elisha said, “Shoot!” So the king did. Then Elisha said, “That is the arrow that [indicates that your army] will defeat the Syrian army. Your army will completely defeat their [army] at Aphek [town].”
Elsaaʼi, “Foddaa karaa baʼa biiftuu bani” jedheen; innis ni bane. Elsaaʼi, “Xiyya darbadhu!” jedhe; mootichis ni darbate. Elsaaʼis, “Xiyya moʼannoo Waaqayyoo, xiyya warra Sooriyaa moʼatu!” jedhe. Elsaaʼis, “Ati Afeeqitti warra Sooriyaa guutumaan guutuutti ni barbadeessita” jedhee labse.
18 Then Elisha said, “Pick up the other arrows and strike the ground with them!” So the king picked up the arrows and struck the ground three times.
Innis ergasii, “Xiyya fudhadhu” jedheen; mootichis ni fudhate. Elsaaʼis “Lafa rukuti” jedheen; mootichis yeroo sadii lafa rukute.
19 But Elisha was angry with him. He exclaimed, “You should have struck the ground five or six times! If you had done that, your army would have defeated the Syrian [army] until they were completely wiped out! But now, [because you struck the ground only three times, ] your army will defeat them only three times!”
Namni Waaqaa sunis isatti aaree akkana jedhe; “Ati yeroo shan yookaan jaʼa lafa rukutuu qabda; silaa warra Sooriyaa moʼattee guutumaan guutuutti isaan balleessita turte. Amma garuu yeroo sadii qofa isaan moʼatta.”
20 Then Elisha died and was buried. Groups of raiders from Moab came to Israel each year during (spring/the time when the cold season was ending).
Elsaaʼi duʼee awwaalame. Yeroo sana Moʼaabonni saamtonni birraa birraa dhufanii biyyattii saamu ture.
21 One year, when some Israeli people were burying a man’s body, they saw a group of those raiders. [They were afraid, ] so quickly they threw that man’s body into the tomb where Elisha [had been buried, and they ran away]. But as soon as the man’s body touched Elisha’s bones, the dead man became alive again and jumped up!
Gaaf tokko warri Israaʼel utuu namicha duʼe tokko awwaaluutti jiranuu garee saamtotaa tokko argan; kanaafuu reeffa namichaa awwaala Elsaaʼitti darbatan. Reeffi sun lafee Elsaaʼi tuqnaan namichi sun duʼaa kaʼee miiluma ofii isaatiin dhaabate.
22 King Hazael of Syria [sent soldiers to] oppress the Israeli people all during the years that Jehoahaz [ruled Judah].
Hazaaʼeel mootichi Sooriyaa bara mootummaa Yehooʼaahaaz guutuu Israaʼelin cunqurse.
23 But Yahweh was very kind [DOU] to the Israeli people. He helped them because of the agreement that he had made with [their ancestors] Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. He did not get rid of the Israelis, and he still has not rejected them.
Waaqayyo garuu sababii kakuu Abrahaam, Yisihaaqii fi Yaaqoob wajjin galee ture sanaatiif jedhee isaanii arjoome; garaas isaaniif laafee fuula isaa gara isaaniitti deebifate. Hamma harʼaattis fuula ofii isaa duraa isaan barbadeessuu yookaan gatuu hin feene.
24 When Hazael the king of Syria died, his son Ben-Hadad became the king.
Hazaaʼeel mootichi Sooriyaa duʼee Ben-Hadaad ilmi isaa iddoo isaa buʼee mootii taʼe.
25 [The army of] King Jehoash of Israel defeated [the army of] King Ben-Hadad three times, and recaptured the cities that Ben-Hadad’s army had captured during the time that Jehoash’s father Jehoahaz was ruling Israel.
Yooʼaash ilmi Yehooʼaahaaz magaalaawwan inni waraana keessatti abbaa isaa Yehooʼaahaaz irraa fudhatee ture hunda Ben-Hadaad ilma Hazaaʼeel irraa deebisee fudhate. Yahooʼasis yeroo sadii isa moʼatee akkasiin magaalaawwan Israaʼel deebise.
