2 Mootota 9
1 Elsaaʼi raajichi ilmaan raajotaa keessaa nama tokko waamee akkana jedheen; “Mudhii kee hidhadhuutii bilqaaxxii zayitii kana fuudhii Raamooti Giliʼaad dhaqi.
AND Elisha the prophet called one of the children of the prophets, and said unto him, Gird up thy loins, and take this box of oil in thine hand, and go to Ramoth-gilead:
2 Yeroo achi geessutti Yehuu ilma Yehooshaafaax ilma Nimshii sana barbaadi. Gara isaa dhaqiitii miiltota isaa biraa isa fuudhiitii diinqatti isa galchi.
And when thou comest thither, look out there Jehu the son of Jehoshaphat the son of Nimshi, and go in, and make him arise up from among his brethren, and carry him to an inner chamber;
3 Ergasii bilqaaxxii sana fuudhii zayitii sana mataa isaatti naqiitii, ‘Waaqayyo akkana jedha: Ani Israaʼel irratti mootii godhee si dibeera.’ Ergasii balbala banadhuutii fiigi malee hin turin!”
Then take the box of oil, and pour it on his head, and say, Thus saith the Lord, I have anointed thee king over Israel. Then open the door, and flee, and tarry not.
4 Kanaafuu raajichi dargaggeessi sun kaʼee Raamooti Giliʼaad dhaqe.
So the young man, even the young man the prophet, went to Ramoth-gilead.
5 Yommuu achi gaʼettis ajajjoota loltootaa kanneen walitti qabamanii tataaʼan arge. Innis, “Yaa ajajaa, ani ergaa siif qaba” jedhe. Yehuun immoo, “Nu keessaa, ati eenyuuf ergaa qabda?” jedhee gaafate. Innis, “Yaa ajajaa, siʼiif” jedhee deebise.
And when he came, behold, the captains of the host were sitting; and he said, I have an errand to thee, O captain. And Jehu said, Unto which of all us? And he said, To thee, O captain.
6 Yehuun kaʼee mana ol seene. Raajichi sun mataa Yehuutti zayitii naqee akkana jedheen; “Waaqayyo Waaqni Israaʼel akkana jedha; ‘Ani saba Waaqayyoo, Israaʼel irratti mootii godhee sin diba.
And he arose, and went into the house; and he poured the oil on his head, and said unto him, Thus saith the Lord God of Israel, I have anointed thee king over the people of the Lord, even over Israel.
7 Ati mana gooftaa keetii mana Ahaab balleessuu qabda; anis dhiiga garboota koo raajotaatii fi dhiiga garboota Waaqayyoo kanneen Iizaabel dhangalaafte hunda haaloo nan baasa.
And thou shalt smite the house of Ahab thy master, that I may avenge the blood of my servants the prophets, and the blood of all the servants of the Lord, at the hand of Jezebel.
8 Manni Ahaab guutumaan guutuutti ni bada. Ani dhiira maatii Ahaab kanneen Israaʼel keessatti hafan hunda garbas taʼu birmaduu nan balleessa.
For the whole house of Ahab shall perish: and I will cut off from Ahab him that pisseth against the wall, and him that is shut up and left in Israel:
9 Ani mana Ahaab akkuma mana Yerobiʼaam ilma Nebaatii fi akkuma mana Baʼishaan ilma Ahiiyaa sanaa nan godha.
And I will make the house of Ahab like the house of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, and like the house of Baasha the son of Ahijah:
10 Iizaabelin immoo sarootatu biyya Yizriʼeel keessatti nyaata; namni tokko iyyuu ishee hin awwaalu.’” Innis ergasii balbala banatee fiige.
And the dogs shall eat Jezebel in the portion of Jezreel, and there shall be none to bury her. And he opened the door, and fled.
11 Yehuun gara ajajjuuwwan isa wajjin turan sanaatti gad baanaan isaan keessaa namni tokko, “Wanni hundi nagumaa? Namichi maraatuun kun maaliif si bira dhufe?” jedhee isa gaafate. Yehuunis, “Ati namichaa fi waan inni dubbate ni beekta” jedhee deebiseef.
Then Jehu came forth to the servants of his lord: and one said unto him, Is all well? wherefore came this mad fellow to thee? And he said unto them, Ye know the man, and his communication.
12 Isaanis, “Kun dhugaa miti! Nutti himi” jedhaniin. Yehuun, “Wanni inni natti hime kanaa dha; ‘Waaqayyo akkana jedha: Ani Israaʼel irratti mootii godhee si dibeera’” jedhee deebiseef.
And they said, It is false; tell us now. And he said, Thus and thus spake he to me, saying, Thus saith the Lord, I have anointed thee king over Israel.
13 Isaan dafanii wayyaa isaanii of irraa fuudhanii gulantaawwan duwwaa irra isa jala afan. Ergasii immoo malakata afuufanii, “Yehuun mootii dha!” jedhan.
Then they hasted, and took every man his garment, and put it under him on the top of the stairs, and blew with trumpets, saying, Jehu is king.
14 Kanaafuu Yehuun ilmi Yehooshaafaax ilmi Nimshii Yooraamitti malate. Yeroo sanatti Yooraamii fi Israaʼel hundi Raamooti Giliʼaad irraa Hazaaʼeel mooticha Sooriyaa eegaa turan;
So Jehu the son of Jehoshaphat the son of Nimshi conspired against Joram. (Now Joram had kept Ramoth-gilead, he and all Israel, because of Hazael king of Syria.
15 Yehooraam mootichi garuu madaa warri Arraam yeroo inni Hazaaʼeel mooticha Arraamiitiin wal loletti isa madeessan sanaaf walʼaansa argachuuf jedhee Yizriʼeelitti deebiʼee ture. Yehuun, “Yoo yaadni kee kana taʼe, akka namni tokko iyyuu magaalaa keessaa gad baʼee dhaqee oduu kana Yizriʼeel keessatti odeessu hin eeyyamin” jedhe.
But king Joram was returned to be healed in Jezreel of the wounds which the Syrians had given him, when he fought with Hazael king of Syria.) And Jehu said, If it be your minds, then let none go forth nor escape out of the city to go to tell it in Jezreel.
16 Innis ergasii gaarii isaa seenee sababii Yooraam achitti boqochaa jiruu fi sababii Ahaaziyaa mootichi Yihuudaa isa arguuf gad buʼeef Yizriʼeelitti qajeele.
So Jehu rode in a chariot, and went to Jezreel; for Joram lay there. And Ahaziah king of Judah was come down to see Joram.
17 Eegduun gamoo eegumsaa kan Yizriʼeel keessaa irra dhaabachaa ture sun yommuu loltoota Yehuu kanneen dhufaa jiran argetti, “Ani loltoota dhufaa jiran tokkon arga” jedhee iyye. Yehooraamis, “Abbaa fardaa tokko waamiitii akka inni isaanitti gad baʼee, ‘Isin naguma dhuftanii?’ jedhee isaan gaafatuuf itti ergi” jedhee ajaje.
And there stood a watchman on the tower in Jezreel, and he spied the company of Jehu as he came, and said, I see a company. And Joram said, Take an horseman, and send to meet them, and let him say, Is it peace?
18 Abbaan fardaa sunis Yehuu arguuf gulufee dhaqee, “Mootichi, ‘Isin naguma dhuftanii?’ jedha” jedheen. Yehuun immoo, “Ati nagaa irraa maal qabda? Garagaliitii na duukaa buʼi” jedhee deebise. Eegduun sunis, “Ergamaan isaan bira gaʼeera; garuu as hin deebine” jedhee hime.
So there went one on horseback to meet him, and said, Thus saith the king, Is it peace? And Jehu said, What hast thou to do with peace? turn thee behind me. And the watchman told, saying, The messenger came to them, but he cometh not again.
19 Kanaafuu mootichi abbaa fardaa lammaffaa erge. Innis gara isaanii dhaqee, “Mootichi, ‘Isin naguma dhuftanii?’ jedha” jedheen. Yehuun immoo, “Ati nagaa irraa maal qabda? Garagaliitii na duukaa buʼi” jedhee deebise.
Then he sent out a second on horseback, which came to them, and said, Thus saith the king, Is it peace? And Jehu answered, What hast thou to do with peace? turn thee behind me.
20 Eegduun sunis, “Inni isaan bira gaʼeera; garuu as hin deebine. Oofichi isaa akkuma ooficha Yehuu ilma Nimshii sanaa ti; inni akkuma nama maraate tokkootti oofaatii” jedhee hime.
And the watchman told, saying, He came even unto them, and cometh not again: and the driving is like the driving of Jehu the son of Nimshi; for he driveth furiously.
21 Kana irrati Yehooraam, “Gaarii koo naa qopheessaa” jedhee ajaje. Erga gaariin qopheeffamee booddee Yehooraam mootichi Israaʼelii fi Ahaaziyaan mootichi Yihuudaa, tokkoon tokkoon isaanii gaarii isaanii yaabbatanii Yehuu simachuu dhaqan. Isaanis lafa qotiisaa Naabot namicha Yizriʼeel sanaa keessatti isa argatan.
And Joram said, Make ready. And his chariot was made ready. And Joram king of Israel and Ahaziah king of Judah went out, each in his chariot, and they went out against Jehu, and met him in the portion of Naboth the Jezreelite.
22 Yehooraam yommuu Yehuu argetti, “Iyyuu, ati naguma dhuftee?” jedhee gaafate. Yehuun immoo, “Hamma sagaagalummaa fi falfalli haadha kee Iizaabel biyya guutee jirutti nagaa maaltu jiraachuu dandaʼa?” jedhee deebise.
And it came to pass, when Joram saw Jehu, that he said, Is it peace, Jehu? And he answered, What peace, so long as the whoredoms of thy mother Jezebel and her witchcrafts are so many?
23 Yehooraam of irra garagalee Ahaaziyaadhaan, “Yaa Ahaaziyaa, wanni kun maltummaa dha!” jedhee baqate.
And Joram turned his hands, and fled, and said to Ahaziah, There is treachery, O Ahaziah.
24 Yehuun xiyya isaa darbatee gatiittii Yehooraam gidduu waraane; xiyyi sunis onnee isaa keessa fullaʼe; innis gaarii isaa keessatti kufe.
And Jehu drew a bow with his full strength, and smote Jehoram between his arms, and the arrow went out at his heart, and he sunk down in his chariot.
25 Yehuunis ajajaa gaarii isaa Bidqaariin akkana jedhe; “Isa fuudhiitii lafa qotiisaa Naabot namicha Yizriʼeel sanaa keessatti gati. Akka Waaqayyo gaafa anii fi ati gaariidhaan Ahaab abbaa isaa duubaan gulufaa turre sana akkana jedhee waaʼee isaa raajii dubbate yaadadhu:
Then said Jehu to Bidkar his captain, Take up, and cast him in the portion of the field of Naboth the Jezreelite: for remember how that, when I and thou rode together after Ahab his father, the Lord laid this burden upon him;
26 ‘Ani kaleessa dhiiga Naabotiitii fi dhiiga ilmaan isaa argeera, jedha Waaqayyo; ani dhugumaan akka ati gatii dhiiga sanaa lafa qotiisaa sana irratti baaftu nan godha’ jedha Waaqayyo. Egaa amma isa fuudhiitii akkuma dubbii Waaqayyootti lafa qotiisaa sana keessatti isa gati.”
Surely I have seen yesterday the blood of Naboth, and the blood of his sons, saith the Lord; and I will requite thee in this plat, saith the Lord. Now therefore take and cast him into the plat of ground, according to the word of the Lord.
27 Ahaaziyaa mootichi Yihuudaa yommuu waan kana argetti karaa Beet Hagaanitti geessuun baqate. Yehuun, “Isas ajjeesaa!” jedhee iyyaa isa ariʼe. Isaanis karaa Guuritti geessu irratti Yibleʼaam biratti isa madeessan; inni garuu Megidootti baqatee achitti duʼe.
But when Ahaziah the king of Judah saw this, he fled by the way of the garden house. And Jehu followed after him, and said, Smite him also in the chariot. And they did so at the going up to Gur, which is by Ibleam. And he fled to Megiddo, and died there.
28 Tajaajiltoonni isaa gaariidhaan Yerusaalemitti isa geessanii awwaala isaa kan Magaalaa Daawit keessaatti abbootii isaa biratti isa awwaalan.
And his servants carried him in a chariot to Jerusalem, and buried him in his sepulchre with his fathers in the city of David.
29 Bara Yooraam ilma Ahaab keessa waggaa kudha tokkoffaatti Ahaaziyaan mootii Yihuudaa taʼe.
And in the eleventh year of Joram the son of Ahab began Ahaziah to reign over Judah.
30 Ergasii Yehuun kaʼee Yizriʼeel dhaqe. Iizaabel yommuu waan kana dhageessetti ija ishee kuulattee mataa dhaʼattee foddaa keessaan ala ilaalte.
And when Jehu was come to Jezreel, Jezebel heard of it; and she painted her face, and tired her head, and looked out at a window.
31 Akkuma Yehuun karraan ol seeneen Iizaabel, “Zimrii, ati namichi gooftaa kee ajjeefte naguma dhuftee?” jetteen.
And as Jehu entered in at the gate, she said, Had Zimri peace, who slew his master?
32 Innis foddaa sana keessaan ol ilaalee, “Eenyutu na bira jira? Eenyuu dha?” jedhe. Xuʼaashiiwwan lama yookaan sadii taʼan gara isaa gad ilaalan.
And he lifted up his face to the window, and said, Who is on my side? who? And there looked out to him two or three eunuchs.
33 Yehuun, “Ishee gad darbadhaa!” jedheen. Kanaafuu isaan gad ishee darbatan; akkasiin dhiigni ishee keenyan manaatii fi fardeen kotteedhaan ishee irra yaaʼan sanatti faffacaʼe.
And he said, Throw her down. So they threw her down: and some of her blood was sprinkled on the wall, and on the horses: and he trode her under foot.
34 Yehuun ol seenee waa nyaatee dhuge. Innis, “Dubartii abaaramtuu kana fuudhaatii awwaalaa; isheen intala mootii turteetii” jedhe.
And when he was come in, he did eat and drink, and said, Go, see now this cursed woman, and bury her: for she is a king’s daughter.
35 Isaan garuu yeroo ishee awwaaluuf gad baʼanitti buqqee mataa ishee, harkaa fi miilla ishee malee waan tokko illee hin argine.
And they went to bury her: but they found no more of her than the skull, and the feet, and the palms of her hands.
36 Isaanis deebiʼanii Yehuutti himan; innis akkana jedhe; “Kun dubbii Waaqayyo karaa garbicha isaa Eeliyaas namicha Tishbii sanaatiin akkana jedhee dubbatee dha: Lafa qotiisaa Yizriʼeel keessaa tokko irratti saroonni foon Iizaabel ni nyaatu.
Wherefore they came again, and told him. And he said, This is the word of the Lord, which he spake by his servant Elijah the Tishbite, saying, In the portion of Jezreel shall dogs eat the flesh of Jezebel:
37 Reeffi Iizaabelis akka namni tokko iyyuu, ‘Kun Iizaabel’ jechuu hin dandeenyeef lafa qotiisaa Yizriʼeel keessaa tokko irratti akkuma kosii taʼa.”
And the carcase of Jezebel shall be as dung upon the face of the field in the portion of Jezreel; so that they shall not say, This is Jezebel.
