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 Jehoash, the son of Ahaziah, the king of Judah, Jehoahaz, the son of Jehu, reigned over Israel, in Samaria, 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.
And he did evil before the Lord. And he followed the sins of Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, who caused Israel to sin. And he did not turn aside from these.
3 Kanaafuu dheekkamsi Waaqayyoo Waaqaa Israaʼelitti ni bobaʼe; innis yeroo dheeraadhaaf dabarsee harka Hazaaʼeel mooticha Sooriyaattii fi harka ilma isaa Ben-Hadaadiitti isaan kenne.
And the fury of the Lord was enraged against Israel, and he delivered them into the hand of Hazael, the king of Syria, and into the hand of Benhadad, the son of Hazael, during all the days.
4 Yehooʼaahaaz fuula Waaqayyoo barbaaddate; Waaqayyos akka mootiin Sooriyaa sun akka malee Israaʼelin cunqurse argee kadhaa isaa dhagaʼeef.
But Jehoahaz petitioned the face of the Lord, and the Lord heeded him. For he saw the anguish of Israel, because the king of Syria had oppressed them.
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 a savior to Israel. And they were freed from the hand of the king of Syria. And the sons of Israel lived in their tabernacles, just as yesterday and the day before.
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.
Yet truly, they did not withdraw from the sins of the house of Jeroboam, who had caused Israel to sin. Instead, they walked by them. And there was even a sacred grove still remaining 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.
And there was left to Jehoahaz from the people nothing but fifty horsemen, and ten chariots, and ten thousand foot soldiers. For the king of Syria had killed them, and he had reduced them to become like dust on a threshing floor.
8 Wanni bara mootummaa Yehooʼaahaaz keessa hojjetame biraa, wanni inni hojjete hundii fi jabinni isaa kitaaba seenaa mootota Israaʼel keessatti barreeffameera mitii?
But the rest of the words of Jehoahaz, and all that he did, and his strength, have these not been written in the book of the words of the days 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 slept with his fathers, and they buried him in Samaria. And Joash, his son, reigned 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 Jehoash, the king of Judah, Joash, the son of Jehoahaz, reigned over Israel, in Samaria, 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.
And he did what is evil in the sight of the Lord. He did not turn aside from all the sins of Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, who caused Israel to sin. Instead, he walked by them.
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?
But the rest of the words of Joash, and all that he did, and his strength, the manner in which he fought against Amaziah, the king of Judah, have these not been written in the book of the words of the days 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 slept with his fathers. Then Jeroboam sat upon his throne. And Joash was buried 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 was sick of the infirmity from which he also died. And Joash, the king of Israel, descended to him. And he was weeping before him, and saying: “My father, my father! The chariot of Israel and its driver!”
15 Elsaaʼi, “Iddaa fi xiyya wayii fudhadhu” jedheen; innis ni fudhate.
And Elisha said to him, “Bring a bow and arrows.” And when he had brought a bow and arrows to him,
16 Elsaaʼi immoo mooticha Israaʼeliin, “Iddaa harkatti qabadhu” jedhe; inni fuunaan Elsaaʼi harka ofii isaa fuudhee harka mootichaa irra kaaʼe.
he said to the king of Israel, “Place your hand upon the bow.” And when he had placed his hand, Elisha placed his own hands over the hands of the king.
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.
And he said, “Open the window toward the east.” And when he had opened it, Elisha said, “Shoot an arrow.” And he shot it. And Elisha said: “It is the arrow of the salvation of the Lord, and the arrow of salvation against Syria. And you shall strike the Syrians at Aphek, until you consume 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 when he had taken them, he then said to him, “Strike an arrow against the ground.” And when he had struck three times, and he had stood still,
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.”
the man of God became angry against him. And he said: “If you had struck five or six or seven times, you would have struck down Syria, even until it was consumed. But now you will strike it three times.”
20 Elsaaʼi duʼee awwaalame. Yeroo sana Moʼaabonni saamtonni birraa birraa dhufanii biyyattii saamu ture.
Then Elisha died, and they buried him. And the robbers from Moab came into the land in the same year.
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.
But certain ones who were burying a man saw the robbers, and they cast the dead body into the sepulcher of Elisha. But when it had touched the bones of Elisha, the man revived, and he stood upon his feet.
22 Hazaaʼeel mootichi Sooriyaa bara mootummaa Yehooʼaahaaz guutuu Israaʼelin cunqurse.
Now Hazael, the king of Syria, afflicted Israel during 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 took pity on them, and he returned to them, because of his covenant, which he had made with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob. And he was not willing to destroy them, nor to cast them out completely, even to the present time.
24 Hazaaʼeel mootichi Sooriyaa duʼee Ben-Hadaad ilmi isaa iddoo isaa buʼee mootii taʼe.
Then Hazael, the king of Syria, died. And Benhadad, his son, reigned 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.
Now Joash, the son of Jehoahaz, by a just war, took the cities from the hand of Benhadad, the son of Hazael, which he had taken from the hand of Jehoahaz, his father. Joash struck him three times, and he restored the cities to Israel.
