2 Kings 3
1 Now Jehoram the son of Ahab began to reign over Israel in Samaria [in] the eighteenth year of Jehoshaphat king of Judah, and 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 wrought evil in the sight of the LORD; but not like his father, and like his mother: for he put away the image of Baal that 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 Nevertheless, he cleaved to the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel to sin; he departed not therefrom.
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 rendered to the king of Israel 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 But it came to pass, when Ahab was dead, that the king of Moab rebelled against the king of Israel.
Erga Ahaab duʼee garuu mootichi Moʼaab mootii Israaʼelitti ni fincile.
6 And king Jehoram went out of Samaria the same time, and numbered all Israel.
Kanaafuu yeroo sanatti Yehooraam mootichi Samaariyaadhaa kaʼee saba Israaʼel hunda duulaaf hiriirse.
7 And he went and sent to Jehoshaphat the king of Judah, saying, The king of Moab hath rebelled against me: wilt thou go with me against Moab to battle? And he said, I will go: I [am] as thou [art], my people as thy people, [and] my horses as thy 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, which way shall we go up? And he answered, The way through the wilderness of Edom.
Innis, “Karaa kamiin yaana?” jedhee gaafate. Yehooraam immoo, “Karaa Gammoojjii Edoomiitiin” jedhee deebiseef.
9 So the king of Israel went, and the king of Judah, 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 followed 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 hath called these three kings together, to deliver 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 But Jehoshaphat said, [Is there] not here a prophet of the LORD, that we may inquire of the LORD by him? And one of the king of Israel's servants answered and said, Here [is] Elisha the 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 said, The word of the LORD is with him. So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat 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 Elisha said to the king of Israel, What have I to do with thee? go to the prophets of thy father, and to the prophets of thy mother. And the king of Israel said to him, No: for the LORD hath called these three kings together, to deliver 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 said, [As] the LORD of hosts liveth, before whom I stand, surely, were it not that I regard the presence of Jehoshaphat the king of Judah, I would not look towards thee, nor see thee.
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 But now bring me a minstrel. And it came to pass, when the minstrel played, 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 saith the LORD, Make this valley full of ditches.
innis akkana jedhe; “Waaqayyo akkana jedha: Sulula kana keessatti boolla hedduu qotaa.
17 For thus saith the LORD, Ye shall not see wind, neither shall ye see rain; yet that valley shall be filled with water, that ye may drink, both ye, and your cattle, 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 is [but] a light thing in the sight of the LORD: he will deliver the Moabites also into your hand.
Wanni kun fuula Waaqayyoo duratti waan salphaa dha; inni Moʼaabinis dabarsee harka keessanitti ni kenna.
19 And ye shall smite every fortified city, and every choice city, and shall fell every good tree, and stop all wells of water, and mar 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 meat-offering was offered, that behold, there came water by the way of Edom, and the country 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 when all the Moabites heard that the kings were come up to fight against them, they gathered all that were able to put on armor, and upward, and stood in 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 shone upon the water, and the Moabites saw the water on the other side [as] 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] blood: the kings are surely slain, and they have smitten one another: now therefore, Moab, to the spoil.
Isaanis, “Wanni sun dhiiga! Mootonni sun wal lolanii wal fixuun isaanii hin oolu. Kanaafuu yaa Moʼaab boojuudhaaf kaʼi!” jedhan.
24 And when they came to the camp of Israel, the Israelites rose and smote the Moabites, so that they fled before them: but they went forward smiting the Moabites, even in [their] country.
Garuu yeroo Moʼaabonni qubata Israaʼel gaʼanitti, Israaʼeloonni itti kaʼanii lolan; jarri sunis ni baqatan. Israaʼeloonnis biyya sana weeraranii Moʼaabota gogorraʼan.
25 And they beat down the cities, and on every good piece of land cast every man his stone, and filled it; and they stopped all the wells of water, and felled all the good trees: only in Kirhara-seth they left the stones of it; but the slingers went about [it], and smote 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 when the king of Moab saw that the battle was too severe for him, he took with him seven hundred men that drew swords, to break through to the king of Edom: but 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 Then he took his eldest son that was to reign in his stead, and offered him [for] a burnt-offering upon the wall. And there was great indignation against Israel: And they departed from him, and returned to [their own] 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.
