2 Mootota 4
1 Niitiin namicha ilmaan raajotaa keessaa tokko taʼe tokkoo sagalee ol fudhattee Elsaaʼiin akkana jette; “Dhirsi koo garbichi kee duʼeera; akka inni Waaqayyoon sodaachaa ture atuu ni beekta. Namichi liqii isa irraa qabu tokko garuu amma ilmaan koo lamaan fudhatee garboomfachuuf dhufaa jira.”
Now a certain woman of the wives of the sons of the prophets cried out to Elisha, saying, Thy servant my husband is dead, and thou know that thy servant feared Jehovah, and the creditor has come to take my two children to him to be bondmen.
2 Elsaaʼis, “Ani akkamittin si gargaaruu dandaʼa? Mee natti himi; mana kee keessaa maal qabdaa?” jedheen. Isheenis, “Garbittiin kee zayitii xinnoo tokko malee homaa manaa hin qabdu” jettee deebifte.
And Elisha said to her, What shall I do for thee? Tell me, what have thou in the house? And she said, Thy handmaid has not anything in the house except a pot of oil.
3 Elsaaʼi akkana jedheen; “Dhaqiitii warra ollaa keetii hunda okkotee duwwaa hedduu kadhadhu. Muraasa hin kadhatin.
Then he said, Go, borrow for thee vessels abroad from all thy neighbors, even empty vessels; borrow not a few.
4 Ergasii ol galiitii ofii keetii fi ilmaan keetti balbala cufi. Okkotee hundatti zayitii naqiitii yommuu tokkoon tokkoon isaa guutamutti jalaa hiiqsi.”
And thou shall go in, and shut the door upon thee and upon thy sons, and pour out into all those vessels, and thou shall set aside that which is full.
5 Isheenis isa biraa deemtee ofii isheettii fi ilmaan isheetti balbala cufte. Ilmaan ishee okkotee gara isheetti fidan; isheen immoo zayitii itti naqaa turte.
So she went from him, and shut the door upon her and upon her sons. They brought the vessels to her, and she poured out.
6 Okkoteen hundi guutamnaan isheen ilma isheetiin, “kan biraa naaf fidi” jette. Inni immoo, “Okkoteen tokko iyyuu hin hafne” jedhee deebiseef. Kana irratti zayitiin sun yaaʼuu dhiise.
And it came to pass, when the vessels were full, that she said to her son, Bring me yet a vessel. And he said to her, There is no more a vessel. And the oil halted.
7 Isheen dhaqxee nama Waaqaa sanatti himte; innis, “Dhaqii zayitii sana gurguriitii liqii kee baafadhu. Atii fi ilmaan kee waan hafeen jiraachuu ni dandeessu” jedhe.
Then she came and told the man of God. And he said, Go, sell the oil, and pay thy debt, and live thou and thy sons from the rest.
8 Gaaf tokko Elsaaʼi kaʼee Suunam dhaqe. Dubartiin soorettiin tokko achi jiraatti turte; isheenis akka inni goree waa nyaatuuf Elsaaʼi kadhatte. Kanaafuu inni yeroo karaa sanaan darbu hunda goree waa nyaata ture.
And it fell on a day that Elisha passed to Shunem where there was a prominent woman. And she constrained him to eat bread. And so it was, that as often as he passed by he turned in there to eat bread.
9 Isheenis dhirsa isheetiin akkana jette; “Ani namichi yeroo hunda karaa keenyaan darbu kun qulqulluu nama Waaqaa akka taʼe nan beeka.
And she said to her husband, Behold now, I perceive that this is a holy man of God who passes by us continually.
10 Kottu mee bantii manaa irratti kutaa xinnaa tokko ijaarree siree fi minjaala, barcumaa fi ibsaa achi keessa haa keenyuuf. Ergasiis inni yeroo nu bira dhufu hunda achi jiraachuu dandaʼa.”
Let us make, I pray thee, a little chamber on the wall. And let us set a bed for him there, and a table, and a seat, and a lampstand. And it shall be, when he comes to us, that he shall turn in there.
11 Elsaaʼis gaaf tokko dhufee ol baʼee kutaa isaa sana keessa ciise.
And it fell on a day that he came there, and he turned into the chamber and lay there.
12 Innis tajaajilaa isaa Gehaaziin, “Mee dubartii Suunam sana as waami” jedhe. Gehaaz ishee waamnaan isheen dhuftee fuula Elsaaʼi dura dhaabatte.
And he said to Gehazi his servant, Call this Shunammite. And when he had called her, she stood before him.
13 Elsaaʼi immoo akkana isaan jedhe; “‘Ati nuuf jettee baayʼee dadhabdeerta. Amma maal siif haa godhu? Iddoo kee buunee mootichatti yookaan ajajaa loltootaatti siif dubbannuu?’ jedhii isheetti himi.” Ishee immoo, “Ani saba koo gidduun jiraadha” jettee deebifte.
And he said to him, Say now to her, Behold, thou have been caring for us with all this care. What is to be done for thee? Would thou be spoken for to the king, or to the captain of the army? And she answered, I dwell among my own people.
14 Elsaaʼis, “Maaltu isheef godhamuu dandaʼa?” jedhee gaafate. Gehaaz immoo, “Isheen ilma hin qabdu; dhirsi ishees dulloomee jira” jedheen.
And he said, What then is to be done for her? And Gehazi answered, Truly she has no son, and her husband is old.
15 Elsaaʼis, “Ishee waami” jedheen. Kanaafuu inni ishee waame; isheenis balbala dura dhaabatte.
And he said, Call her. And when he had called her, she stood in the door.
16 Elsaaʼi, “Ati waggaa dhufu keessa yeroo kanatti ilma ni hammatta” jedheen. Isheen immoo, “Akkas miti yaa gooftaa koo; yaa nama Waaqaa, ati garbittii kee hin gowwoomsin!” jette.
And he said, At this season, when the time comes round, thou shall embrace a son. And she said, No, my lord, thou man of God, do not lie to thy handmaid.
17 Dubartiin sun garuu ni ulfoofte; akkuma Elsaaʼi isheetti hime sanatti waggaa itti aanu keessa yeruma sanatti ilma deesse.
And the woman conceived, and bore a son at that season, when the time came round, as Elisha had said to her.
18 Mucaan sunis ni guddate; innis gaaf tokko gara warra midhaan haamanii abbaa isaa bira dhaqe.
And when the child was grown, it fell on a day that he went out to his father to the reapers.
19 Innis abbaa isaatiin, “Mataa koo! Mataa koo!” jedhe. Abbaan isaa immoo hojjetaa tokkoon, “Baadhuutii gara haadha isaatti isa geessi” jedhe.
And he said to his father, My head, my head. And he said to his servant, Carry him to his mother.
20 Erga hojjetaan sun fuudhee gara haadha isaati isa geessee booddee mucaan sun hamma saafaatti gudeeda haadha isaa irra taaʼee ergasii immoo ni duʼe.
And when he had taken him, and brought him to his mother, he sat on her knees till noon, and then died.
21 Isheen ol baatee siree nama Waaqaa sanaa irra isa ciibsite; mana itti cuftees kaatee biraa deemte.
And she went up and laid him on the bed of the man of God, and shut the door upon him, and went out.
22 Isheen dhirsa ishee waamtee, “Mee akka ani dafee gara nama Waaqaa dhaqee deebiʼuuf hojjetaa tokkoo fi harree tokko naaf ergi” jetteen.
And she called to her husband, and said, Send me, I pray thee, one of the servants, and one of the donkeys, that I may run to the man of God, and come again.
23 Inni immoo, “Harʼa ayyaana baatii miti yookaan Sanbata miti. Ati maaliif harʼa gara isaa dhaqxa ree?” jedheen. Isheen, “Nagumaafin dhaqa” jette.
And he said, Why will thou go to him today? It is neither new moon nor sabbath. And she said, It shall be well.
24 Isheenis harree ishee irra kooraa kaaʼattee hojjetaa isheetiin, “Karaa qabadhu; yoo ani sitti hime malee anaaf jettee suuta hin deemsisin” jette.
Then she saddled a donkey, and said to her servant, Drive, and go forward. Do not restrain my riding unless I bid thee.
25 Kanaafuu isheen kaatee gara Tulluu Qarmeloos nama Waaqaa sana bira dhaqxe. Namni Waaqaa sun fagootti ishee arginaan tajaajilaa isaa Gehaaziin akkana jedhe; “Ilaa! Dubartiin Suunam sun kuunnoo ti!
So she went, and came to the man of God to mount Carmel. And it came to pass, when the man of God saw her afar off, that he said to Gehazi his servant, Behold, yonder is the Shunammite.
26 Fiigii ishee simadhuutii, ‘Ati fayyumaa? Dhirsi kee fayyumaa? Mucaan kee fayyumaa?’ jedhii gaafadhu.” Isheenis, “Wanni hundinuu naguma” jettee deebifte.
Run now, I pray thee, to meet her, and say to her, Is it well with thee? Is it well with thy husband? Is it well with the child? And she answered, It is well.
27 Isheen yommuu tulluu sana irratti nama Waaqaa sana bira geessetti, jabeessitee miilla isaa qabatte. Gehaaz immoo gad dhiisisuuf dhufe; namni Waaqaa sun garuu, “Ishee hin tuqin! Isheen gadda guddaa keessa jirti; Waaqayyo garuu waan kana na dhokse; nattis hin himne” jedhe.
And when she came to the man of God to the hill, she caught hold of his feet. And Gehazi came near to thrust her away, but the man of God said, Let her alone, for her soul is vexed within her, and Jehovah has hid it from me, and has not told me.
28 Isheenis, “Yaa gooftaa koo ani ilma si kadhadheeraa? Ani, ‘Na hin gowwoomsin’ siin hin jennee?” jetteen.
Then she said, Did I desire a son of my lord? Did I not say, do not deceive me?
29 Kana irratti Elsaaʼi Gehaaziin akkana jedhe; “Sabbataan mudhii kee hidhadhuutii, ulee koo harkatti qabadhuutii fiigi. Nama karaatti argite tokko illee hin dubbisin; yoo namni kam iyyuu si dubbise deebii hin kenniniif; ulee koos fuula mucaa sanaa irra kaaʼi.”
Then he said to Gehazi, Gird up thy loins, and take my staff in thy hand, and go thy way. If thou meet any man, do not salute him, and if any salute thee, do not answer him again. And lay my staff upon the face of the child.
30 Haati daaʼima sanaa garuu, “Dhugaa Waaqayyo jiraataa, ani lubbuu keetiin nan kakadha; ani si dhiisee hin deemu” jette. Kanaafuu inni kaʼee ishee duukaa buʼe.
And the mother of the child said, As Jehovah lives, and as thy soul lives, I will not leave thee. And he arose, and followed her.
31 Gehaaz isaan dura darbee ulee sana fuula mucaa irra kaaʼe; garuu sagaleen yookaan mallattoon tokko iyyuu hin turre. Kanaaf Gehaaz gara Elsaaʼitti deebiʼee, “Mucaan hin dammaqne” jedhee itti hime.
And Gehazi passed on before them, and laid the staff upon the face of the child, but there was neither voice, nor hearing. Therefore he returned to meet him, and told him, saying, The child has not awakened.
32 Yommuu Elsaaʼi mana gaʼetti mucaan sun duʼee siree isaa irra ciisaa ture.
And when Elisha came into the house, behold, the child was dead, and laid upon his bed.
33 Elsaaʼis ol seenee, ofii fi mucaatti balbala cufee Waaqayyoon kadhate.
He went in therefore, and shut the door upon the two of them, and prayed to Jehovah.
34 Ergasiis siree yaabbatee, afaan isaa afaan mucaa irra, ija isaa ija mucaa irra, harka isaa harka mucaa irra kaaʼee mucicha irra ciise. Akkuma inni mucaa sana irratti diriireen dhagni mucaa hoʼuu jalqabe.
And he went up, and lay upon the child, and put his mouth upon his mouth, and his eyes upon his eyes, and his hands upon his hands. And he stretched himself upon him, and the flesh of the child grew warm.
35 Elsaaʼi achi garagalee mana keessa asii fi achi nanaannaʼee amma illee siree yaabbatee mucaa irratti diriire. Mucaan sunis yeroo torba haxxifatee ija banate.
Then he returned, and walked in the house once to and fro, and went up, and stretched himself upon him. And the child sneezed seven times, and the child opened his eyes.
36 Elsaaʼis Gehaazin waamee, “Dubartii Suunam sana as waami” jedhe. Innis ishee waame. Elsaaʼi yommuu isheen gara isaa dhuftetti, “Kunoo mucaa kee fudhadhu” jedheen.
And he called Gehazi, and said, Call this Shunammite. So he called her. And when she came in to him, he said, Take up thy son.
37 Isheen ol seentee, miilla isaa irratti kuftee addaan lafatti gombifamte. Ergasiis mucaa ishee fudhattee gad baate.
Then she went in, and fell at his feet, and bowed herself to the ground. And she took up her son, and went out.
38 Elsaaʼis kaʼee Gilgaalitti deebiʼe; yeroo sanatti biyya sana keessa beelatu ture. Innis utuu waldaan raajotaa fuula isaa dura taaʼaa jiranii tajaajilaa isaatiin, “Okkotee guddicha ibiddaa irra kaaʼiitii namoota kanaaf ittoo bilcheessi” jedhe.
And Elisha came again to Gilgal. And there was a dearth in the land, and the sons of the prophets were sitting before him. And he said to his servant, Set on the great pot, and boil pottage for the sons of the prophets.
39 Isaan keessaa namni tokko raafuu funaannachuuf gad baʼee wayinii bosonaa tokko arge. Wayinii bosonaa sana irraa wiillee ciree dachaa uffata isaa guuttate. Yeroo deebiʼettis buqqee sana murmuree okkotee ittoo sanatti naqe. Namni tokko iyyuu waan sana hin beeku tureetii.
And one went out into the field to gather herbs, and found a wild vine, and gathered wild gourds from it, his lap full, and came and shred them into the pot of pottage, for they did not know them.
40 Ittoon sunis jaraaf dhiʼeeffame; isaan garuu akkuma nyaachuu jalqabaniin, “Yaa nama Waaqaa, okkotee kana keessa duʼatu jira!” jedhanii iyyan. Isaanis ittoo sana nyaachuu hin dandeenye.
So they poured out for the men to eat. And it came to pass, as they were eating of the pottage, that they cried out, and said, O man of God, there is death in the pot. And they could not eat of it.
41 Elsaaʼi, “Daakuu wayii naa fidaa” jedhe. Daakuu sanas okkoteetti naqee, “Akka nyaataniif namootaaf dhiʼeessaa” jedhe. Ergasii wanni nama miidhu tokko iyyuu okkotee sana keessatti hin argamne.
But he said, Then bring meal. And he cast it into the pot, and he said, Pour out for the people, that they may eat. And there was no harm in the pot.
42 Namichi tokko buddeena garbuu kan mataa midhaan bilchaatee irraa tolfame digdamaa fi asheetii midhaanii nama Waaqaa sanaaf fidee Baʼaal Shaaliishaadhaa dhufe. Elsaaʼis, “Akka isaan nyaataniif namootaaf kenni” jedhe.
And a man came from Baal-shalishah, and brought the man of God bread of the first-fruits, twenty loaves of barley, and fresh ears of grain in his sack. And he said, Give to the people that they may eat.
43 Tajaajilaan isaa immoo, “Ani akkamiinan waan kana nama dhibba tokko duratti dhiʼeessuu dandaʼa?” jedhee gaafate. Elsaaʼi garuu, “Akka isaan nyaataniif namootaaf kenni. Waaqayyo akkana jedhaatii; ‘Isaan nyaatanii hambaa illee ni qabaatu’” jedhee deebise.
And his servant said, What, should I set this before a hundred men? But he said, Give to the people that they may eat, for thus says Jehovah, They shall eat, and shall leave of it.
44 Innis fuudhee isaan duratti dhiʼeesse; isaanis akkuma dubbii Waaqayyoo sanaatti nyaatanii hambaa hambisan.
So he set it before them, and they ate, and left of it according to the word of Jehovah.
