2 Mootota 6
1 Ilmaan raajotaa sun Elsaaʼiin akkana jedhan; “Kunoo, iddoon nu si wajjin wal geenyu nutti dhiphateera.
And the sons of the prophets said to Elisha, Behold now, the place where we dwell before thee is too confined for us.
2 Akka nu Yordaanos dhaqnee tokkoon tokkoon keenya muka cirannee iddoo jiraannu achitti ijaarrannuuf nuu eeyyami.” Innis, “Dhaqaa” jedheen.
Let us go, we pray thee, to the Jordan, and every man take a beam from there, and let us make us a place there, where we may dwell. And he answered, Go ye.
3 Isaan keessaa namni tokko, “Maaloo ati nu garboota kee wajjin hin deemtuu?” jedhee gaafate. Elsaaʼi immoo, “Nan deema” jedhee deebise.
And one said, Be pleased, I pray thee, to go with thy servants. And he answered, I will go.
4 Innis isaan wajjin deeme. Isaan Yordaanos dhaqanii muka cirachuu jalqaban.
So he went with them. And when they came to the Jordan, they cut down wood.
5 Isaan keessaa tokko utuu muka muruutti jiruu qottoon muka isaa irraa buqqaʼee bishaan keessa buʼe. Namichi sunis, “Wayyoo kaa, yaa gooftaa koo; wanni kun waan ergifatamee dha!” jedhee iyye.
But as one was felling a beam, the axe-head fell into the water. And he cried, and said, Alas, my master! For it was borrowed.
6 Namni Waaqaa sunis “Qottoon eessa buʼe?” jedhee gaafate. Yommuu inni iddoo qottoon sun buʼe isa argisiisetti Elsaaʼi muka xinnaa tokko kutee achi keessa buusee akka sibiilli sun bishaan gubbaa deemu godhe.
And the man of God said, Where did it fall? And he showed him the place. And he cut down a stick, and cast it in there, and made the iron to float.
7 Innis, “Ol fudhadhu” jedheen. Namichi sunis harka diriirfatee qottoo isaa fudhate.
And he said, Take it up to thee. So he put out his hand, and took it.
8 Yeroo sanatti mootiin Sooriyaa Israaʼeliin wal lolaa ture. Innis erga ajajjoota loltoota isaatiin mariʼatee booddee, “Ani lafa akkasiitii fi lafa akkasii keessa qubata koo nan dhaabbadha” jedhe.
Now the king of Syria was warring against Israel, and he took counsel with his servants, saying, In such and such a place shall be my camp.
9 Namni Waaqaa sunis, “Sababii namoonni Sooriyaa achitti gad buʼaa jiraniif ati akka karaa sanaan hin dabarre of eeggadhu” jedhee mootii Israaʼelitti ergaa erge.
And the man of God sent to the king of Israel, saying, Beware that thou not pass such a place, for the Syrians are coming down there.
10 Kanaafuu mootiin Israaʼel gara iddoo namni Waaqaa sun waaʼee isaa dubbate sanaatti nama ergee ni toʼate. Elsaaʼis akka mootichi iddoowwan akkasii irraa of eeggatu ammumaa amma isa akeekkachiise.
And the king of Israel sent to the place which the man of God told him and warned him of. And he saved himself there, not once nor twice.
11 Wanni kun akka malee mootii Sooriyaa aarse. Innis ajajjoota loltoota isaa walitti waamee, “Isin amma nama nu keessaa mootii Israaʼeliif hojjechaa jiru natti hin himtanii?” jedhee gaafate.
And the heart of the king of Syria was greatly troubled for this thing, and he called his servants, and said to them, Will ye not show me which of us is for the king of Israel?
12 Ajajjoota sana keessaa namni tokko akkana jedhe; “Yaa gooftaa koo mooticha, nu keessaa namni akkasii hin jiru; garuu Elsaaʼi raajicha Israaʼel keessa jiru sanatu dubbii ati diinqa kee keessatti dubbattu hunda mootii Israaʼelitti hima.”
And one of his servants said, No, my lord, O king, but Elisha, the prophet who is in Israel tells the king of Israel the words that thou speak in thy bedchamber.
13 Mootichi Sooriyaas, “Akka ani nama itti ergee isa qabsiisuu dandaʼuuf dhaqaatii lafa inni jiru ilaalaa” jedhee ajaje. Oduun, “Inni Dootaan keessa jira” jedhu tokkos isatti himame.
And he said, Go and see where he is that I may send and fetch him. And it was told him, saying, Behold, he is in Dothan.
14 Innis ergasii fardeen, gaariiwwanii fi waraana jabaa achitti ni erge. Isaanis halkaniin dhaqanii magaalaa sana marsan.
Therefore he sent there horses, and chariots, and a great army. And they came by night, and encompassed the city about.
15 Yommuu tajaajilaan nama Waaqaa sanaa guyyaa itti aanu ganama bariin gad baʼetti humni waraanaa tokko fardeenii fi gaariiwwaniin magaalaa sana marsee ture. Tajaajilaan sunis, “Wayyoo kaa, yaa gooftaa ko, maal goonu?” jedhee gaafate.
And when the servant of the man of God was risen early, and gone forth, behold, an army with horses and chariots was round about the city. And his servant said to him, Alas, my master! What shall we do?
16 Raajiin sun immoo, “Hin sodaatin; warri nu wajjin jiran warra isaan wajjin jiran caalaniitii” jedhee deebise.
And he answered, Fear not, for those who are with us are more than those who are with them.
17 Elsaaʼis, “Yaa Waaqayyo, akka inni arguu dandaʼuuf ija isaa baniif” jedhee kadhate. Waaqayyos ija tajaajilaa sanaa ni bane; innis milʼatee akka gaarran sun naannoo Elsaaʼitti fardeenii fi gaariiwwan ibiddaatiin guutamanii jiran ni arge.
And Elisha prayed, and said, Jehovah, I pray thee, open his eyes that he may see. And Jehovah opened the eyes of the young man, and he saw. And, behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire round about Elisha.
18 Diinni sun gara isaatti gad buunaan Elsaaʼi, “Jara kana jaamsi” jedhee Waaqayyoon kadhate. Kanaafuu Waaqni akkuma Elsaaʼi isa kadhate sana isaan jaamse.
And when they came down to him, Elisha prayed to Jehovah, and said, Smite this people, I pray thee, with blindness. And he smote them with blindness according to the word of Elisha.
19 Elsaaʼis, “Karaan sun kana miti; magaalaan sunis kana miti. Amma na duukaa buʼaa; anis nama isin barbaaddanitti isinan geessa” jedheen. Innis akkasiin Samaariyaatti isaan ni geesse.
And Elisha said to them, This is not the way, neither is this the city. Follow me, and I will bring you to the man whom ye seek. And he led them to Samaria.
20 Erga isaan magaalaa sana seenanii booddee Elsaaʼi, “Yaa Waaqayyo akka isaan arguu dandaʼaniif ija jara kanaa baniif” jedhe. Waaqayyos ija isaanii ni baneef; isaanis akka Samaariyaa keessa jiran ni argan.
And it came to pass, when they came into Samaria, that Elisha said, Jehovah, open the eyes of these men that they may see. And Jehovah opened their eyes, and they saw. And, behold, they were in the midst of Samaria.
21 Mootiin Israaʼelis isaan arginaan, “Yaa abbaa ko, ani isaan fixuu? Ani isaan fixuu?” jedhee Elsaaʼin ni gaafate.
And the king of Israel said to Elisha, when he saw them, My father, shall I smite them? Shall I smite them?
22 Innis akkana jedhee deebise; “Isaan hin fixin; ati namoota boojite goraadee keetiin yookaan xiyya keetiin ni ajjeeftaa? Akka isaan nyaatanii dhuganii gara gooftaa isaaniitti deebiʼaniif nyaataa fi dhugaatii dhiʼeessiif.”
And he answered, Thou shall not smite them. Would thou smite those whom thou have taken captive with thy sword and with thy bow? Set bread and water before them that they may eat and drink, and go to their master.
23 Kanaafuu inni cidha guddaa qopheesseefii erga isaan nyaatanii dhuganii booddee of irraa isaan geggeesse; isaanis gara gooftaa isaaniitti deebiʼan. Namoonni Sooriyaas ergasii deebiʼanii biyya Israaʼel hin weerarre.
And he prepared great provision for them. And when they had eaten and drunk, he sent them away, and they went to their master. And the bands of Syria came no more into the land of Israel.
24 Yeroo gabaabaa booddee, Ben-Hadaad mootichi Sooriyaa loltoota isaa hunda walitti qabatee dhaqee Samaariyaa marse.
And it came to pass after this, that Benhadad king of Syria gathered all his army, and went up, and besieged Samaria.
25 Beela akka malee hamaatu magaalaa sana keessa ture; waan magaalaan sun yeroo dheeraadhaaf marfamteef, mataan harree tokko meetii saqilii saddeettamatti, udaan gugee kiiloon tokko harka afur keessaa harki tokko meetii saqilii shanitti gurgurame.
And there was a great famine in Samaria. And, behold, they besieged it until a donkey's head was sold for eighty pieces of silver, and the fourth part of a kab of dove's dung for five pieces of silver.
26 Utuu mootiin Israaʼel dallaa dhagaa irraan darbuu dubartiin tokko, “Yaa gooftaa koo mooticha, na gargaari” jettee itti iyyite.
And as the king of Israel was passing by upon the wall, a woman cried out to him, saying, Help, my lord, O king.
27 Mootichi immoo akkana jedhee deebiseef; “Yoo Waaqayyo si hin gargaarin ani eessaan gargaarsa siif arga? Oobdii midhaanii irraa moo? Iddoo wayinii itti cuunfan irraa?”
And he said, If Jehovah does not help thee, from where shall I help thee? Out of the threshing-floor, or out of the winepress?
28 Ergasii, “Rakkoon kee maal?” jedhee ishee gaafate. Isheenis akkana jettee deebifteef; “Dubartiin kun, ‘Akka nu harʼa isa nyaannuuf mucaa kee nuu kenni; bor immoo mucaa koo nyaannaatii’ naan jette.
And the king said to her, What troubles thee? And she answered, This woman said to me, Give thy son that we may eat him today, and we will eat my son tomorrow.
29 Kanaaf nu mucaa koo bilcheeffannee nyaanne. Guyyaa itti aanutti immoo ani, ‘Akka nu isa nyaannuuf mucaa kee nuuf kenni’ jedheen. Isheen garuu mucaa ishee ni dhokfatte.”
So we boiled my son, and ate him. And I said to her on the next day, Give thy son that we may eat him. And she has hid her son.
30 Mootichi yommuu dubbii dubartii sanaa dhagaʼetti uffata isaa tarsaase. Utuu inni dallaa dhagaa irraan darbaa jiruu namoonni akka inni dhagna isaatti aansee wayyaa gaddaa uffatee jiru argan.
And it came to pass, when the king heard the words of the woman, that he tore his clothes (now he was passing by upon the wall). And the people looked, and, behold, he had sackcloth inside upon his flesh.
31 Innis, “Yoo mataan Elsaaʼi ilma Shaafaax, edana isa irra bule, Waaqni na haa adabu; adabbiin sunis akka malee natti haa cimuu!” jedhe.
Then he said, God do so to me, and more also, if the head of Elisha the son of Shaphat shall stand on him this day.
32 Yeroo kanatti Elsaaʼi mana isaa keessa taaʼaa ture; maanguddoonnis isa wajjin tataaʼaa turan. Mootichi ergamaa tokko of dura erge; garuu utuu ergamaan sun hin dhufinuu Elsaaʼi maanguddootaan akkana jedhe; “Isin akka namichi nama ajjeesu kun mataa narraa kutuuf nama erge argituu? Kunoo yoo ergamaan sun dhufe balbala cufaatii ol seenuu dhowwaa. Kotteen gooftaa isaa isa duubaan dhagaʼamaa jira mitii?”
But Elisha was sitting in his house, and the elders were sitting with him. And the king sent a man from before him, but before the messenger came to him, he said to the elders, Do ye see how this son of a murderer has sent to take away my head? Look, when the messenger comes, shut the door, and hold the door fast against him. Is not the sound of his master's feet behind him?
33 Utuma inni amma iyyuu isaan wajjin haasaʼaa jiruu, ergamaan sun gara isaa dhufe. Mootichis, “Balaan kun Waaqayyo biraa dhufe. Ani siʼachi maaliifin Waaqayyoon eega?” jedhe.
And while he was yet talking with them, behold, the messenger came down to him, and he said, Behold, this evil is of Jehovah. Why should I wait for Jehovah any longer?
