2 Mootota 13
1 Bara mootummaa Yooʼaash ilma Ahaaziyaa mooticha Yihuudaa keessa waggaa digdamii sadaffaatti Yehooʼaahaaz ilmi Yehuu Samaariyaa keessatti mootii Israaʼel taʼee waggaa kudha torba bulche.
In the twenty-third year of Joash, the son of Ahaziah, king of Judah, Jehoahaz, the son of Jehu, became king over Israel in Samaria, ruling for seventeen years.
2 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.
He did evil in the eyes of the Lord, copying the sins of Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, which he did and made Israel do; he did not keep himself from them.
3 Kanaafuu dheekkamsi Waaqayyoo Waaqaa Israaʼelitti ni bobaʼe; innis yeroo dheeraadhaaf dabarsee harka Hazaaʼeel mooticha Sooriyaattii fi harka ilma isaa Ben-Hadaadiitti isaan kenne.
So the wrath of the Lord was burning against Israel, and he gave them up into the power of Hazael, king of Aram, and into the power of Ben-hadad, the son of Hazael, again and again.
4 Yehooʼaahaaz fuula Waaqayyoo barbaaddate; Waaqayyos akka mootiin Sooriyaa sun akka malee Israaʼelin cunqurse argee kadhaa isaa dhagaʼeef.
Then Jehoahaz made prayer to the Lord, and the Lord gave ear to him, for he saw how cruelly Israel was crushed by the king of Aram.
5 Waaqayyos nama isaan baraaru tokko Israaʼeliif kenne; akkasiin isaan harka warra Sooriyaa jalaa ni baʼan. Kanaafuu Israaʼeloonni akkuma duraatti dunkaana isaanii keessa jiraatan.
(And the Lord gave Israel a saviour, so that they became free from the hands of the Aramaeans; and the children of Israel were living in their tents as in the past.
6 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.
But still they did not give up the sin of Jeroboam, which he made Israel do, but went on with it; and there was an image of Asherah in Samaria.)
7 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.
For out of all his army, Jehoahaz had only fifty horsemen and ten carriages and ten thousand footmen; the king of Aram had given them up to destruction, crushing them like dust.
8 Wanni bara mootummaa Yehooʼaahaaz keessa hojjetame biraa, wanni inni hojjete hundii fi jabinni isaa kitaaba seenaa mootota Israaʼel keessatti barreeffameera mitii?
Now the rest of the acts of Jehoahaz, and all he did, and his great power, are they not recorded in the book of the history of the kings of Israel?
9 Yehooʼaahaaz abbootii isaa wajjin boqotee Samaariyaa keessatti ni awwaalame. Yooʼaash ilmi isaa iddoo isaa buʼee mootii taʼe.
And Jehoahaz went to rest with his fathers, and was put into the earth in Samaria; and Joash his son became king in his place.
10 Bara Yooʼaash mooticha Yihuudaa keessa waggaa soddomii torbaffaatti Yooʼaash ilmi Yehooʼaahaaz Samaariyaa keessatti mootii Israaʼel taʼee waggaa kudha jaʼa isaan bulche.
In the thirty-seventh year of the rule of Joash, king of Judah, Joash, the son of Jehoahaz, became king over Israel in Samaria, ruling for sixteen years.
11 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.
He did evil in the eyes of the Lord, not turning away from the sin of Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, which he did and made Israel do, but he went on with it.
12 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?
Now the rest of the acts of Joash, and all he did, and the force with which he went to war against Amaziah, king of Judah, are they not recorded in the book of the history of the kings of Israel?
13 Yooʼaash abbootii isaa wajjin boqotee Yerobiʼaam iddoo isaa buʼee teessoo irra taaʼe. Yooʼaash Samaariyaa keessatti mootota Israaʼel biratti ni awwaalame.
And Joash went to rest with his fathers and Jeroboam took his place as king; and Joash was put into the earth in Samaria with the kings of Israel.
14 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.
Now Elisha became ill with the disease which was the cause of his death: and Joash, king of Israel, came down to him, and weeping over him said, My father, my father, the war-carriages of Israel and its horsemen!
15 Elsaaʼi, “Iddaa fi xiyya wayii fudhadhu” jedheen; innis ni fudhate.
Then Elisha said to him, Take bow and arrows: and he took bow and arrows.
16 Elsaaʼi immoo mooticha Israaʼeliin, “Iddaa harkatti qabadhu” jedhe; inni fuunaan Elsaaʼi harka ofii isaa fuudhee harka mootichaa irra kaaʼe.
And he said to the king of Israel, Put your hand on the bow: and he put his hand on it; and Elisha put his hands on the king's hands.
17 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.
Then he said; Let the window be open to the east: and he got it open. Then Elisha said, Let the arrow go; and he let it go. And he said, The Lord's arrow of salvation, of salvation over Aram; for you will overcome the Aramaeans in Aphek and put an end to them.
18 Innis ergasii, “Xiyya fudhadhu” jedheen; mootichis ni fudhate. Elsaaʼis “Lafa rukuti” jedheen; mootichis yeroo sadii lafa rukute.
And he said, Take the arrows: and he took them. And he said to the king of Israel, Send them down into the earth; and he did so three times and no more.
19 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.”
Then the man of God was angry with him and said, If you had done it five or six times, then you would have overcome Aram completely; but now you will only overcome them three times.
20 Elsaaʼi duʼee awwaalame. Yeroo sana Moʼaabonni saamtonni birraa birraa dhufanii biyyattii saamu ture.
And death came to Elisha and they put his body into the earth. Now in the spring of the year, armed bands of Moabites frequently came, overrunning the land.
21 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.
And while they were putting a dead man into the earth, they saw a band coming; and they put the man quickly into the place where Elisha's body was; and the dead man, on touching Elisha's bones, came to life again, and got up on his feet.
22 Hazaaʼeel mootichi Sooriyaa bara mootummaa Yehooʼaahaaz guutuu Israaʼelin cunqurse.
And Israel was crushed under the power of Hazael, king of Aram, all the days of Jehoahaz.
23 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.
But the Lord was kind to them and had pity on them, caring for them, because of his agreement with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; he would not put them to destruction or send them away from before his face till now.
24 Hazaaʼeel mootichi Sooriyaa duʼee Ben-Hadaad ilmi isaa iddoo isaa buʼee mootii taʼe.
Then Hazael, king of Aram, came to his end; and Ben-hadad his son became king in his place.
25 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.
And Jehoash, the son of Jehoahaz, took again from Ben-hadad, the son of Hazael, the towns which he had taken from Jehoahaz his father in war. Three times Jehoash overcame him and got back the towns of Israel.
