2 Mootota 8
1 Yeroo kanatti Elsaaʼi dubartii ilma ishee duʼaa kaaseef sanaan, “Sababii Waaqayyo beela waggaa torba turu tokko biyya kanatti ajajeef, maatii kee wajjin asii deemiitii iddoo jiraachuu dandeessu kam iyyuu jiraadhu” jedhe.
Now Elisha had spoken to the woman whose son he had restored to life, saying, “Arise, and go, you and your household, and stay for a while wherever you can; for Yahweh has called for a famine. It will also come on the land for seven years.”
2 Dubartiin sunis kaatee akkuma namni Waaqaa sun jedheen goote. Ishee fi maatiin ishee dhaqanii biyya Filisxeemotaa keessa waggaa torba jiraatan.
The woman arose, and did according to the man of God’s word. She went with her household, and lived in the land of the Philistines for seven years.
3 Isheenis dhuma waggaa torbaatti biyya Filisxeemotaatii deebitee manaa fi lafa ishee kadhachuuf gara mootichaa ni dhaqxe.
At the end of seven years, the woman returned from the land of the Philistines. Then she went out to beg the king for her house and for her land.
4 Mootichis, “Mee waan Elsaaʼi hojjete gurguddaa natti himi” jedhee Gehaaz tajaajilaa nama Waaqaa sana wajjin haasaʼaa ture.
Now the king was talking with Gehazi the servant of the man of God, saying, “Please tell me all the great things that Elisha has done.”
5 Utuma Gehaaz akka Elsaaʼi nama duʼe illee duʼaa kaase isatti himuutti jiruu dubartiin Elsaaʼi ilma ishee duʼaa kaaseef sun manaa fi lafa ishee kadhachuudhaaf gara mootichaa dhufte. Gehaazis, “Yaa gooftaa koo mooticha, dubartiin Elsaaʼi mucaa ishee duʼaa kaaseef sun kunoo ti” jedhe.
As he was telling the king how he had restored to life him who was dead, behold, the woman whose son he had restored to life begged the king for her house and for her land. Gehazi said, “My lord, O king, this is the woman, and this is her son, whom Elisha restored to life.”
6 Mootichi waaʼee waan sanaa dubartittii gaafate; isheenis itti himte. Innis ergasii qondaala tokko dubbii isheetti ramadee, “Galii guyyaa isheen biyyaa baatee jalqabee lafa qotiisaa ishee irraa argame hunda itti dabaliitii waan kan ishee ture hunda deebisiif” jedheen.
When the king asked the woman, she told him. So the king appointed to her a certain officer, saying, “Restore all that was hers, and all the fruits of the field since the day that she left the land, even until now.”
7 Elsaaʼi Damaasqoo dhaqe; Ben-Hadaad mootichi Sooriyaa immoo dhukkubsatee ture. Mootiin sunis yommuu, “Namni Waaqaa sun as dhufee jira” jedhanii itti himanitti,
Elisha came to Damascus; and Benhadad the king of Syria was sick. He was told, “The man of God has come here.”
8 Hazaaʼeeliin akkana jedhe; “Kennaa wayii fudhadhuutii dhaqii nama Waaqaa sana simadhu. Karaa isaatiinis, ‘Ani dhukkuba kana irraa nan hafaa?’ jedhii Waaqayyoon gaafadhu.”
The king said to Hazael, “Take a present in your hand, and go meet the man of God, and inquire of Yahweh by him, saying, ‘Will I recover from this sickness?’”
9 Hazaaʼeelis waan Damaasqoo keessaa akka malee gaggaarii taʼe fudhatee kennaa feʼiisa gaala afurtamaatiin Elsaaʼin simachuu dhaqe. Ol seenees fuula isaa dura dhaabatee, “Ilma kee Ben-Hadaad mooticha Sooriyaatu, ‘Ani dhukkuba kana irraa hafaa?’ jedhee sitti na erge” jedheen.
So Hazael went to meet him and took a present with him, even of every good thing of Damascus, forty camels’ burden, and came and stood before him and said, “Your son Benhadad king of Syria has sent me to you, saying, ‘Will I recover from this sickness?’”
10 Elsaaʼi immoo, “Dhaqiitii, ‘Ati dhugumaan irraa hafta’ jedhiin; garuu Waaqayyo akka inni dhugumaan duʼu na argisiiseera” jedhee deebiseef.
Elisha said to him, “Go, tell him, ‘You will surely recover;’ however Yahweh has shown me that he will surely die.”
11 Elsaaʼi hamma Hazaaʼeel qaanaʼutti utuu ija irraa hin buqqifatin isa ilaale. Ergasii namni Waaqaa sun booʼuu jalqabe.
He settled his gaze steadfastly on him, until he was ashamed. Then the man of God wept.
12 Hazaaʼeelis, “Gooftaan koo maaliif booʼa?” jedhee gaafate. Inni immoo akkana jedhee deebise; “Sababii ani miidhaa ati Israaʼelitti fiddu beekuuf; ati daʼannoo isaaniitti ibidda naqxa; dargaggoota isaanii goraadeedhaan fixxa; daaʼimman isaanii lafaan dhooftee mimmiciriqsita; dubartoota isaanii kanneen ulfaaʼan garaa baqaqsita.”
Hazael said, “Why do you weep, my lord?” He answered, “Because I know the evil that you will do to the children of Israel. You will set their strongholds on fire, and you will kill their young men with the sword, and will dash their little ones in pieces, and rip up their pregnant women.”
13 Hazaaʼeel, “Ani garbichi kee sareen kun akkamiin waan hamtuu akkanaa hojjedha?” jedhe. Elsaaʼi immoo, “Waaqayyo akka ati mootii Sooriyaa taatu na argisiiseera” jedhee deebiseef.
Hazael said, “But what is your servant, who is but a dog, that he could do this great thing?” Elisha answered, “Yahweh has shown me that you will be king over Syria.”
14 Hazaaʼeel ergasii Elsaaʼi biraa baʼee gara gooftaa isaatti deebiʼe. Yommuu Ben-Hadaad, “Elsaaʼi maal siin jedhe?” jedhee gaafatettis, Hazaaʼeel, “Inni akka ati dhugumaan irraa haftu natti hime” jedhee deebise.
Then he departed from Elisha, and came to his master, who said to him, “What did Elisha say to you?” He answered, “He told me that you would surely recover.”
15 Inni garuu guyyaa itti aanu wayyaa furdaa tokko fuudhee bishaan keessa cuuphee fuula mootichaa haguuge; akkasiin mootichi duʼe. Ergasii Hazaaʼeel iddoo isaa buʼee mootii taʼe.
On the next day, he took a thick cloth, dipped it in water, and spread it on the king’s face, so that he died. Then Hazael reigned in his place.
16 Bara Yehooraam ilma Ahaab mooticha Israaʼel keessa waggaa shanaffaatti Yooraam ilmi Yehooshaafaax mooticha Yihuudaa sun mootii taʼee bulchuu jalqabe.
In the fifth year of Joram the son of Ahab king of Israel, Jehoshaphat being king of Judah then, Jehoram the son of Jehoshaphat king of Judah began to reign.
17 Yeroo sanatti umuriin isaa waggaa soddomii lama ture; innis Yerusaalem keessa taaʼee waggaa saddeet ni bulche.
He was thirty-two years old when he began to reign. He reigned eight years in Jerusalem.
18 Innis akkuma manni Ahaab godhee ture sana karaa mootota Israaʼel duukaa buʼe; intala Ahaab fuudhee tureetii. Fuula Waaqayyoo durattis waan hamaa hojjete.
He walked in the way of the kings of Israel, as did Ahab’s house, for he married Ahab’s daughter. He did that which was evil in Yahweh’s sight.
19 Taʼus Waaqayyo sababii garbicha isaa Daawitiif jedhee Yihuudaa balleessuun fedhii Waaqayyoo hin turre. Inni Daawitii fi sanyii isaatiif ibsaa bara baraa dhaabuuf kakuu galee ture.
However, Yahweh would not destroy Judah, for David his servant’s sake, as he promised him to give to him a lamp for his children always.
20 Bara Yooraam keessa Edoom Yihuudaatti fincilee mootii ofii isaa moosifate.
In his days Edom revolted from under the hand of Judah, and made a king over themselves.
21 Kanaafuu Yooraam gaariiwwan isaa hunda wajjin Zaaʼiiri dhaqe. Warri Edoomis isaa fi ajajjoota gaariiwwan isaa marsan; inni garuu halkaniin kaʼee isaan ni dhaʼe; loltoonni isaa garuu gara biyya isaaniitti baqatan.
Then Joram crossed over to Zair, and all his chariots with him; and he rose up by night and struck the Edomites who surrounded him with the captains of the chariots; and the people fled to their tents.
22 Edoom hamma harʼaatti illee akkuma Yihuudaatti finciletti jira. Libnaanis yeruma sanatti fincile.
So Edom revolted from under the hand of Judah to this day. Then Libnah revolted at the same time.
23 Wantoonni bara mootummaa Yooraam keessa hojjetaman kan biraatii fi wanni inni hojjete hundi kitaaba seenaa mootota Yihuudaa keessatti barreeffamaniiru mitii?
The rest of the acts of Joram, and all that he did, aren’t they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
24 Yooraam abbootii ofii wajjin boqotee Magaalaa Daawit keessatti isaan biratti ni awwaalame. Ahaaziyaan ilmi isaa iddoo isaa buʼee mootii taʼe.
Joram slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in David’s city; and Ahaziah his son reigned in his place.
25 Bara Yehooraam ilma Ahaab mooticha Israaʼel keessa waggaa kudha lammaffaatti Ahaaziyaan ilmi Yooraam mootii Yihuudaa taʼee bulchuu jalqabe.
In the twelfth year of Joram the son of Ahab king of Israel, Ahaziah the son of Jehoram king of Judah began to reign.
26 Ahaaziyaan yeroo mootii taʼetti umuriin isaa waggaa digdamii lama ture; innis Yerusaalem keessa taaʼee waggaa tokko ni bulche. Maqaan haadha isaa Ataaliyaa dha; isheenis intala ilma Omrii mooticha Israaʼel sanaa turte.
Ahaziah was twenty-two years old when he began to reign; and he reigned one year in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Athaliah the daughter of Omri king of Israel.
27 Innis karaa mana Ahaab duukaa buʼee, akkuma manni Ahaab godhe sana fuula Waaqayyoo duratti waan hamaa hojjete; inni karaa fuudhaatiin maatii Ahaabitti firoomee tureetii.
He walked in the way of Ahab’s house and did that which was evil in Yahweh’s sight, as did Ahab’s house, for he was the son-in-law of Ahab’s house.
28 Ahaaziyaanis Yooraam ilma Ahaab wajjin Hazaaʼeel mooticha Arraam loluudhaaf Raamoot Giliʼaaditti duule. Warri Arraamis Yooraamin ni madeessan;
He went with Joram the son of Ahab to war against Hazael king of Syria at Ramoth Gilead, and the Syrians wounded Joram.
29 kanaafuu Yehooraam mootichi madaa warri Arraam yeroo inni Raamaat keessatti Hazaaʼeel mooticha Arraam wajjin wal loletti isa madeessan sana fayyuuf jedhee Yizriʼeelitti deebiʼe. Kana irratti Ahaaziyaan ilmi Yooraam mootichi Yihuudaa sababii inni madaaʼee tureef Yooraam ilma Ahaab arguuf gara Yizriʼeelitti gad buʼe.
King Joram returned to be healed in Jezreel from the wounds which the Syrians had given him at Ramah, when he fought against Hazael king of Syria. Ahaziah the son of Jehoram, king of Judah, went down to see Joram the son of Ahab in Jezreel, because he was sick.
