2 Mootota 7
1 Elsaaʼi, “Dubbii Waaqayyoo dhagaʼaa. Waaqayyo akkana jedha: Bor yoona karra Samaariyaa duratti daakuun safartuun tokko saqilii tokkotti, garbuun safartuun lama immoo saqilii tokkotti gurgurama” jedhe.
Elisha said, “Hear the LORD’s word. The LORD says, ‘Tomorrow about this time a seah of fine flour will be sold for a shekel, and two seahs of barley for a shekel, in the gate of Samaria.’”
2 Ajajaan loltootaa kan mootichi irree isaatti irkate sun nama Waaqaa sanaan, “Utuma Waaqayyo karra burqaa Samiiwwanii banee iyyuu wanni kun taʼuu dandaʼaa?” jedhe. Elsaaʼi immoo, “Ati ijuma keetiin argita; garuu tokkoo isaa illee hin nyaattu!” jedhe.
Then the captain on whose hand the king leaned answered the man of God, and said, “Behold, if the LORD made windows in heaven, could this thing be?” He said, “Behold, you will see it with your eyes, but will not eat of it.”
3 Yeroo kanatti namoota lamxii qaban afurtu balbala ittiin magaalattii seenan dura ture. Isaanis akkana waliin jedhan; “Nu maaliif hamma duunutti as teenya?
Now there were four leprous men at the entrance of the gate. They said to one another, “Why do we sit here until we die?
4 Yoo nu, ‘Kottaa magaalaa seennaa’ jenne, beelli achi jira; nus ni duuna. Yoo as turre ni duuna. Kanaafuu kottaa gara qubata warra Sooriyaa dhaqnaa. Yoo isaan nu maaran ni jiraanna; yoo isaan nu fixan immoo ni dhumna.”
If we say, ‘We will enter into the city,’ then the famine is in the city, and we will die there. If we sit still here, we also die. Now therefore come, and let’s surrender to the army of the Syrians. If they save us alive, we will live; and if they kill us, we will only die.”
5 Isaan galgala dimimmisaan kaʼanii gara qubata warra Sooriyaa ni dhaqan. Yommuu isaan qubata sana bira gaʼanitti namni tokko iyyuu achi hin turre;
They rose up in the twilight to go to the camp of the Syrians. When they had come to the outermost part of the camp of the Syrians, behold, no man was there.
6 Kunis sababii Gooftaan akka warri Sooriyaa didichuu gaariiwwanii, fardeeniitii fi kan waraana guddaa dhagaʼanii, “Kunoo, mootiin Israaʼel nu dhaʼuuf jedhee mootii Heetotaatii fi mootii warra Gibxi nutti bitateera!” waliin jedhan godheef.
For the Lord had made the army of the Syrians to hear the sound of chariots and the sound of horses, even the noise of a great army; and they said to one another, “Behold, the king of Israel has hired against us the kings of the Hittites and the kings of the Egyptians to attack us.”
7 Kanaafuu isaan dunkaana isaanii, fardeenii fi harroota isaanii dhiisanii dimimmisaan baqatan. Qubata isaaniis akkuma jirutti dhiisanii lubbuu isaanii oolfachuudhaaf ni baqatan.
Therefore they arose and fled in the twilight, and left their tents, their horses, and their donkeys, even the camp as it was, and fled for their life.
8 Namoonni lamxii qaban sun daarii qubata sanaa bira gaʼanii dunkaana tokko seenan. Isaanis waa nyaatanii dhuganii meetii, warqee fi wayyaa guurratanii dhaqanii dhokfatan. Amma illee deebiʼanii dunkaana biraa seenanii waa keessaa guurratanii akkasuma dhokfatan.
When these lepers came to the outermost part of the camp, they went into one tent, and ate and drank, then carried away silver, gold, and clothing and went and hid it. Then they came back, and entered into another tent and carried things from there also, and went and hid them.
9 Kana irratti isaan akkana waliin jedhan; “Nu waan qajeelaa hojjechuutti hin jirru; guyyaan kun guyyaa oduu gaarii ti; nu garuu inuma calʼifne. Yoo nu hamma bariʼutti calʼifne adabbiitu nu eeggata. Kanaafuu kottaa dafnee dhaqnee oduu kana mana mootummaatti himnaa.”
Then they said to one another, “We aren’t doing right. Today is a day of good news, and we keep silent. If we wait until the morning light, punishment will overtake us. Now therefore come, let’s go and tell the king’s household.”
10 Isaanis dhaqanii namoota karra magaalaa eegan waamanii, “Nu gara qubata warra Sooriyaa ni dhaqne; namni tokko illee achi hin turre; sagaleen nama tokkoo iyyuu hin dhagaʼamne. Fardeenii fi harroota hidhamanii fi dunkaana akkuma dhaabametti dhiifame qofatu ture” jedhan.
So they came and called to the city gatekeepers; and they told them, “We came to the camp of the Syrians, and, behold, there was no man there, not even a man’s voice, but the horses tied, and the donkeys tied, and the tents as they were.”
11 Warri karra eegan sunis oduu kana ni labsan; oduun sunis masaraa mootummaa keessatti ni dhagaʼame.
Then the gatekeepers called out and told it to the king’s household within.
12 Mootichis halkaniin kaʼee ajajjoota loltoota isaatiin akkana jedhe; “Ani waan warri Sooriyaa nutti hojjetan isinittin hima; isaan akka nu beelaan miidhamaa jirru beeku; kanaafuu isaan, ‘Dhugumaan isaan gad ni baʼu; ergasiis nu utuma lubbuun jiranuu isaan qabnee magaalattii seenna’ jedhanii yaaduudhaan baadiyyaa keessa dhokachuudhaaf qubata dhiisanii baʼan.”
The king arose in the night, and said to his servants, “I will now show you what the Syrians have done to us. They know that we are hungry. Therefore they have gone out of the camp to hide themselves in the field, saying, ‘When they come out of the city, we shall take them alive, and get into the city.’”
13 Ajajjoota loltoota isaa keessaa tokko akkana jedhee deebise; “Namoonni tokko tokko fardeen magaalaa keessatti hafan keessaa shan fudhatanii haa deeman. Rakkinni isaanii akkuma Israaʼeloota asitti hafan hundaa ti; dhugumaan isaan akkuma Israaʼeloota dhuman sana hundaa ni taʼu. Kanaafuu kottaa waan taʼe beekuudhaaf isaan erginaa.”
One of his servants answered, “Please let some people take five of the horses that remain, which are left in the city. Behold, they are like all the multitude of Israel who are left in it. Behold, they are like all the multitude of Israel who are consumed. Let’s send and see.”
14 Kanaafuu isaan gaariiwwan lama fardeen isaanii wajjin ni filan; mootichis, “Dhaqaatii ilaalaa” jedhee loltoota Sooriyaa duubaan isaan erge.
Therefore they took two chariots with horses; and the king sent them out to the Syrian army, saying, “Go and see.”
15 Isaanis hamma Yordaanositti isaan duukaa buʼan; kunoo karaan hundi uffataa fi miʼa warri Sooriyaa yeroo ariitiidhaan baqatanitti daddarbataniin guutamee ture. Ergamoonni sunis deebiʼanii mootichatti himan.
They went after them to the Jordan; and behold, all the path was full of garments and equipment which the Syrians had cast away in their haste. The messengers returned and told the king.
16 Ergasiis namoonni gad yaaʼanii qubata warra Sooriyaa ni saaman. Kanaafuu akkuma Waaqayyo dubbate sana daakuun safartuun tokko saqilii tokkotti, garbuun safartuun lama immoo saqilii tokkotti gurgurame.
The people went out and plundered the camp of the Syrians. So a seah of fine flour was sold for a shekel, and two measures of barley for a shekel, according to the LORD’s word.
17 Mootichis yeroo kanatti ajajaa loltootaa kan irree isaatti irkatee ture sana itti gaafatamaa karraa godhee muude; namoonnis karra duratti isa irra yaaʼan; innis akkuma namni Waaqaa yeroo mootichi mana isaa dhufetti dubbate sana ni duʼe.
The king had appointed the captain on whose hand he leaned to be in charge of the gate; and the people trampled over him in the gate, and he died as the man of God had said, who spoke when the king came down to him.
18 Kunis akkuma namni Waaqaa sun, “Bori yoona karra Samaariyaa duratti daakuun safartuun tokko saqilii tokkotti, garbuun safartuun lama immoo saqilii tokkotti ni gurgurama” jedhee mootichatti hime sana taʼe.
It happened as the man of God had spoken to the king, saying, “Two seahs of barley for a shekel, and a seah of fine flour for a shekel, shall be tomorrow about this time in the gate of Samaria;”
19 Ajajaan loltootaa sunis nama Waaqaa sanaan “Utuma Waaqayyo karra burqaa samiiwwanii bane illee wanni kun taʼuu dandaʼaa?” jedhe. Namni Waaqaa sun immoo, “Ati ijuma keetiin argita; garuu tokkicha isaa illee hin nyaattu!” jedhe.
and that captain answered the man of God, and said, “Now, behold, if the LORD made windows in heaven, might such a thing be?” and he said, “Behold, you will see it with your eyes, but will not eat of it.”
20 Wanni isa irra gaʼes dhugumaan kanaa dha; inni waan namoonni karra duratti isa irra yaaʼaniif duʼeetii.
It happened like that to him, for the people trampled over him in the gate, and he died.
