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 unto Elisha', Behold now, the place where we dwell before thee is too narrow 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, as far as the Jordan, and take thence every man one beam, and let us prepare for us there a place to dwell therein. And he said, Go.
3 Isaan keessaa namni tokko, “Maaloo ati nu garboota kee wajjin hin deemtuu?” jedhee gaafate. Elsaaʼi immoo, “Nan deema” jedhee deebise.
And one said, Give thy assent, I pray thee, and go with thy servants. And he said, I will indeed go.
4 Innis isaan wajjin deeme. Isaan Yordaanos dhaqanii muka cirachuu jalqaban.
So he went with them; and they came to the Jordan, and they cut down trees.
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 Lord! it was also 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 thither, and he caused the iron to swim.
7 Innis, “Ol fudhadhu” jedheen. Namichi sunis harka diriirfatee qottoo isaa fudhate.
And then said he, Lift it up to thee. And he stretched 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.
And the king of Syria made war against Israel, and 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 unto the king of Israel, saying, Beware that thou pass not that place; for thither the Syrians are come down.
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 had told him and warned him of, and he took care of 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.
Therefore the heart of the king of Syria was sorely troubled concerning this thing; and he called for his servants, and said unto them, Can ye not tell me who 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, Not so, my Lord, O king; but Elisha', the prophet that is in Israel, can tell unto the king of Israel the words that thou mayest speak in thy sleeping-chamber.
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 unto him, saying, Behold, he is in Dothan.
14 Innis ergasii fardeen, gaariiwwanii fi waraana jabaa achitti ni erge. Isaanis halkaniin dhaqanii magaalaa sana marsan.
And he sent thither horses, and chariots, and a strong army: and they came by night, and surrounded the city.
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 the servant of the man of God rose early, and went forth, when, behold, an army compassed the city both with horses and chariots. And his servant said unto him, Alas, my master! how shall we do?
16 Raajiin sun immoo, “Hin sodaatin; warri nu wajjin jiran warra isaan wajjin jiran caalaniitii” jedhee deebise.
And he said, Fear not: for those that are with us are more than those that 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, O Lord, open, I pray thee, his eyes, that he may see. And the Lord 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 unto the Lord, and said, Smite, I pray thee, this people 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 unto them, This is not the way, neither is this the city: follow me, and I will lead you to the man whom ye wish to seek. And he led them thus 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 were come into Samaria, that Elisha' said, Lord, open the eyes of these, that they may see. And the Lord 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 unto Elisha', when he saw them, Shall I smite them? Shall I smite them, my father?
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.”
But he said, Thou shalt not smite them: wouldst thou smite those whom thou hast taken captive with thy sword and with thy bow? set bread and water before them, that they may eat and drink, and go [back] 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 for them a great meal; and they ate and drank, and he sent them away, and they went [back] to their master. And the predatory 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 Ben-hadad the king of Syria assembled all his camp, 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 an ass'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 it happened as the king of Israel was passing along upon the wall, that a woman cried unto 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 the Lord do not help thee, whence shall I help thee? shall it be out of the threshing-floor, or out of the wine-press?
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 unto her, What aileth thee? And she said, This woman said unto me, Give up thy son, that we may eat him today, and my son we will eat 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; but when I said unto her on the next day, Give up thy son, that we may eat him: she 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 rent his clothes, as he was passing along upon the wall: and the people looked, and, behold, he had sackcloth beneath 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 said he, May God do so unto me and continue so yet farther, if the head of Elisha' the son of Shaphat shall remain 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 he sent a man from before him; but before the messenger could yet come to him, he said to the elders, See ye how this son of the murderer hath sent to remove my head? look, when the messenger cometh, shut the door, and hold him back with the door: 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 speaking with them, behold, the messenger came down unto him: and he said, Behold, this evil is of the Lord; what shall I hope for in the Lord any longer?
