1 Mootota 19
1 Ahaab waan Eeliyaas hojjete hundaa fi akka inni itti raajota sana hunda goraadeedhaan fixe Iizaabelitti hime.
And Achaab told Jezabel his wife all that Eliu [had] done, and how he [had] slain the prophets with the sword.
2 Kanaafuu Iizaabel nama tokko Eeliyaasitti ergitee, “Yoo ani bori yoona lubbuu kee akkuma lubbuu jara sanaa keessaa akka isa tokkoo gochuu baadhe waaqonni na haa adaban; adabbiin sunis akka malee natti haa cimu” jetteen.
And Jezabel sent to Eliu, and said, If you are Eliu and I am Jezabel, God do so to me, and more also, if I do not make your life by this time to-morrow as the life of one of them.
3 Eeliyaas sodaatee lubbuu ofii isaa oolfachuuf kaʼee baqate. Innis yommuu Bersheebaa Yihuudaa keessaa sana gaʼetti hojjetaa ofii achitti dhiisee
And Eliu feared, and rose, and departed for his life: and he comes to Bersabee [to] the land of Juda, and he left his servant there.
4 ofii isaatii immoo karaa guyyaa tokkoo gammoojjii keessa deeme. Innis muka ittachaa tokkotti dhufee jala taaʼee akka duʼuuf, “Yaa Waaqayyo na dhagaʼi; lubbuu koo fudhadhu; ani abbootii koo hin caaluutii” jedhe.
And he himself went a day's journey in the wilderness, and came and sat under a juniper tree; and asked concerning his life that he might die, and said, Let it be enough now, O Lord, take, I pray you, my life from me; for I am no better than my fathers.
5 Ergasiis muka sana jala ciisee hirribni isa fudhate. Kunoo ergamaan Waaqayyoo tokko isa tuqee, “Kaʼii waa nyaadhu” jedheen.
And he lay down and slept there under a tree; and behold, some one touched him, and said to him, Arise and eat.
6 Innis of irra milʼatee Maxinoo cilee irratti bilcheeffame tokkoo fi okkotee bishaanii mataa ofii biratti arge. Nyaatee dhugees amma illee deebiʼee ciise.
And Eliu looked, and, behold, at his head there was a cake of meal and a cruse of water; and he arose, and ate and drank, and returned and lay down.
7 Ergamaan Waaqayyoo amma illee yeroo lammaffaa dhufee isa tuqee, “Kaʼii nyaadhu; karaan ati deemtu dheeraadhaatii” jedheen.
And the angel of the Lord returned again, and touched him, and said to him, Arise, and eat, for the journey [is] far from you.
8 Kanaafuu inni kaʼee nyaatee dhuge. Innis nyaata sanaan jabaatee hamma tulluu Waaqaa kan Kooreeb jedhamu gaʼutti halkan afurtamaa fi guyyaa afurtama miillaan deeme.
And he arose, and ate and drank, and went in the strength of that meat forty days and forty nights to mount Choreb.
9 Achittis holqa tokko seenee keessa bule. Dubbiin Waaqayyoos gara isaa dhufee, “Eeliyaas, ati maal asii hojjetta?” jedheen.
And he entered there into a cave, and rested there; and, behold, the word of the Lord [came] to him, and he said, What [do] you here, Eliu?
10 Innis akkana jedhee deebise; “Waaqayyo Waaqa Waan Hunda Dandaʼu sanaaf ani akka malee hinaaffaa qaba. Sabni Israaʼel immoo kakuu kee didee iddoowwan aarsaa keetii diigee raajota kees goraadeedhaan fixe. Ana qofatu hafe; isaan amma anas ajjeesuu barbaadu.”
And Eliu said, I have been very jealous for the Lord Almighty, because the children of Israel have forsaken you: they have digged down your altars, and have slain your prophets with the sword; and I only am left alone, and they seek my life to take it.
11 Waaqayyos, “Gadi baʼiitii fuula Waaqayyoo dura tulluu irra dhaabadhu; Waaqayyo achiin darbuuf jiraatii” jedheen. Bubbeen guddaa fi jabaan tokko fuula Waaqayyoo duratti tulluuwwan gargari dayyaasee kattaawwanis hurreesse; Waaqayyo garuu bubbee sana keessa hin turre. Bubbee sana booddee sochii lafaa guddaa isaatu ture; Waaqayyo garuu sochii lafaa sana keessa hin turre.
And he said, You shall go forth to-morrow, and shall stand before the Lord in the mount; behold, the Lord will pass by. And, behold, a great [and] strong wind rending the mountains, and crushing the rocks before the Lord; [but] the Lord [was] not in the wind; and after the wind an earthquake; [but] the Lord [was] not in the earthquake:
12 Sochii lafaa booddee ibiddi ni dhufe; Waaqayyo garuu ibidda sana keessa hin turre. Ibidda sana booddee immoo hasaasa xinnaa tokkotu ture.
and after the earthquake a fire; [but] the Lord [was] not in the fire: and after the fire the voice of a gentle breeze.
13 Eeliyaas yommuu waan kana dhagaʼetti uffata ofii isaa fuulatti haguuggatee gara afaan holqa sanaatti hiiqee dhaabate. Sagaleen tokkos, “Eeliyaas ati maal asii hojjetta?” jedheen.
And it came to pass when Eliu heard, that he wrapt his face in his mantle, and went forth and stood in the cave: and, behold, a voice [came] to him and said, What [do] you here, Eliu?
14 Innis akkana jedhee deebise; “Waaqayyo Waaqa Waan Hunda Dandaʼu sanaaf ani akka malee hinaaffaa qaba. Sabni Israaʼel immoo kakuu kee didee, iddoowwan aarsaa keetii diigee raajota kees goraadeedhaan fixe. Ana qofatu hafe; isaan amma anas ajjeesuu barbaadu.”
And Eliu said, I have been very jealous for the Lord Almighty; for the children of Israel have forsaken your covenant, and they have overthrown your altars, and have slain your prophets with the sword! and I am left entirely alone, and they seek my life to take it.
15 Waaqayyo garuu akkana jedhee deebiseef; “Karuma dhufte sanaan deebiʼiitii Gammoojjii Damaasqoo dhaqi. Yommuu achi geessutti Hazaaʼeelin dibiitii Sooriyaa irratti mootii godhi.
And the Lord said to him, Go, return, and you shall come into the way of the wilderness of Damascus: and you shall go and anoint Azael to be king over Syria.
16 Yehuu ilma Nimshiis akkasuma dibiitii mootii Israaʼel godhi; Elsaaʼi ilma Shaafaaxi kan warra Abeel Mehoolaa sana immoo akka inni raajii taʼee iddoo kee buʼuuf muudi.
And Ju the son of Namessi shall you anoint to be king over Israel; and Elisaie the son of Saphat shall you anoint to be prophet in your room.
17 Yehuun nama baqatee goraadee Hazaaʼeel jalaa baʼu hunda ni ajjeesa; Elsaaʼis nama baqatee goraadee Yehuu jalaa baʼu hunda ni ajjeesa.
And it shall come to pass, that him that escapes from the sword of Azael, Ju shall kill; and him that escapes from the sword of Ju, Elisaie shall kill.
18 Taʼus ani nama kuma torba kanneen Israaʼel keessatti hambifadhe, warra jilbi isaanii Baʼaaliif hin jilbeenfatin, warra afaan isaaniis isa hin dhungatin qaba.”
And you shall leave in Israel seven thousand men, all the knees which had not bowed themselves to Baal, and every mouth which had not worshipped him.
19 Kanaafuu Eeliyaas achii baʼee Elsaaʼi ilma Shaafaaxi argate. Elsaaʼi yeroo sanatti qotiyyoo cimdii kudha lamaatiin lafa qotiisaa qotaa ture; inni mataan isaa immoo cimdii kudha lammaffaa qabatee ture. Eeliyaas gara isaa dhaqee kaabbaa ofii isaa isa irra buuse.
And he departed thence, and finds Elisaie the son of Saphat, and he was plowing with oxen; [there were] twelve yoke before him, and he with the twelve, and he passed by to him, and cast his mantle upon him.
20 Elsaaʼis qotiyyoo ofii isaa dhiisee Eeliyaas duukaa fiigee, “Mee takkaa dhaqee abbaa koo fi haadha koo dhungadhee, ‘Nagaatti’ jedheen si duukaa buʼaa” jedhe. Eeliyaas immoo, “Deebiʼi; ani maalin si godhee jira?” jedhee deebiseef.
And Elisaie left the cattle, and ran after Eliu and said, I will kiss my father, and follow after you. And Eliu said, Return, for I have done [a work] for you.
21 Kanaafuu Elsaaʼi isa dhiisee deebiʼe. Qotiyyoo cimdii tokkoo fuudhee qale. Miʼa ittiin lafa qotiisaa qotu sanas bobeessee foon sana bilcheessee namootaaf kenne; isaanis ni nyaatan. Ergasiis kaʼee Eeliyaas duukaa buʼe; tajaajilaa isaas taʼe.
And he returned from following him, and took a yoke of oxen, and killed them, and boiled them with the instruments of the oxen, and gave to the people, and they ate: and he arose, and went after Eliu, and ministered to him.
