2 Mootota 9
1 Elsaaʼi raajichi ilmaan raajotaa keessaa nama tokko waamee akkana jedheen; “Mudhii kee hidhadhuutii bilqaaxxii zayitii kana fuudhii Raamooti Giliʼaad dhaqi.
Elisha the prophet called one of the sons of the prophets, and said to him, "Put your belt on your waist, take this vial of oil in your 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.
When you come there, find Jehu the son of Jehoshaphat the son of Nimshi, and go in, and make him arise up from among his brothers, and carry him to an inner room.
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 vial of oil, and pour it on his head, and say, 'Thus says Jehovah, "I have anointed you king over Israel."' Then open the door, flee, and do not wait."
4 Kanaafuu raajichi dargaggeessi sun kaʼee Raamooti Giliʼaad dhaqe.
So the young 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.
When he came, look, the captains of the army were sitting. Then he said, "I have a message for you, captain." Jehu said, "To which of us all?" He said, "To you, 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.
He arose, and went into the house. Then he poured the oil on his head, and said to him, "Thus says Jehovah, the God of Israel, 'I have anointed you king over the people of Jehovah, 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.
You shall strike the house of Ahab your master, that I may avenge the blood of my servants the prophets, and the blood of all the servants of Jehovah, 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. I will cut off from Ahab everyone who urinates against a wall, both him who is shut up and him who is left at large in Israel.
9 Ani mana Ahaab akkuma mana Yerobiʼaam ilma Nebaatii fi akkuma mana Baʼishaan ilma Ahiiyaa sanaa nan godha.
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.
The dogs will eat Jezebel on the plot of ground of Jezreel, and there shall be none to bury her.'" 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 to him, "Is all well? Why did this mad fellow come to you?" He said to them, "You know the man and what his talk was."
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.
They said, "That is a lie. Tell us now." He said, "He said to me, 'Thus says Jehovah, I have anointed you 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 hurried, and took every man his garment, and put it under him on the top of the stairs, and blew the trumpet, 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 was keeping Ramoth Gilead, he and all Israel, because of Hazael king of Aram;
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 Arameans had given him, when he fought with Hazael king of Aram.) Jehu said, "If this is your thinking, then let no one escape and go 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. Ahaziah king of Judah had 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.
Now the watchman was standing on the tower in Jezreel, and he spied the company of Jehu as he came, and said, "I see a company." Joram said, "Take a 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 says the king, 'Is it peace?'" Jehu said, "What do you have to do with peace? Fall in behind me." The watchman said, "The messenger came to them, but he isn't coming back."
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, who came to them, and said, "Thus says the king, 'Is it peace?'" Jehu answered, "What do you have to do with peace? Fall in 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.
The watchman said, "He came to them, and isn't coming back. The driving is like the driving of Jehu the son of Nimshi; for he drives 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.
Joram said, "Get ready." They got his chariot ready. Joram king of Israel and Ahaziah king of Judah went out, each in his chariot, and they went out to meet Jehu, and found 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.
It happened, when Joram saw Jehu, that he said, "Is it peace, Jehu?" He answered, "What peace, so long as the prostitution of your mother Jezebel and her witchcraft abound?"
23 Yehooraam of irra garagalee Ahaaziyaadhaan, “Yaa Ahaaziyaa, wanni kun maltummaa dha!” jedhee baqate.
Joram turned his hands, and fled, and said to Ahaziah, "There is treason, Ahaziah."
24 Yehuun xiyya isaa darbatee gatiittii Yehooraam gidduu waraane; xiyyi sunis onnee isaa keessa fullaʼe; innis gaarii isaa keessatti kufe.
Jehu drew his bow with his full strength, and shot Joram 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 Jehu said to Bidkar his captain, "Pick him up, and throw him in the plot of the field of Naboth the Jezreelite; for I remember how when you and I rode together behind Ahab his father, Jehovah pronounced this judgment on 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,' says Jehovah; 'and I will repay you in this plot of ground,' says Jehovah. Now therefore take and cast him onto the plot of ground, according to the word of Jehovah."
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. Jehu followed after him, and said, "Shoot him also." And they shot him in the chariot at the ascent of Gur, which is by Ibleam. 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.
His servants carried him in a chariot to Jerusalem, and buried him in his tomb with his fathers in the City of David.
29 Bara Yooraam ilma Ahaab keessa waggaa kudha tokkoffaatti Ahaaziyaan mootii Yihuudaa taʼe.
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.
When Jehu had come to Jezreel, Jezebel heard of it; and she painted her eyes, and attired her head, and looked out at the window.
31 Akkuma Yehuun karraan ol seeneen Iizaabel, “Zimrii, ati namichi gooftaa kee ajjeefte naguma dhuftee?” jetteen.
As Jehu entered in at the gate, she said, "Do you come in peace, Zimri, you murderer of your master?"
32 Innis foddaa sana keessaan ol ilaalee, “Eenyutu na bira jira? Eenyuu dha?” jedhe. Xuʼaashiiwwan lama yookaan sadii taʼan gara isaa gad ilaalan.
He lifted up his face to the window, and said, "Who is on my side? Who?" Two or three eunuchs looked out at him.
33 Yehuun, “Ishee gad darbadhaa!” jedheen. Kanaafuu isaan gad ishee darbatan; akkasiin dhiigni ishee keenyan manaatii fi fardeen kotteedhaan ishee irra yaaʼan sanatti faffacaʼe.
He said, "Throw her down." So they threw her down; and some of her blood was sprinkled on the wall, and on the horses. Then he trampled her under foot.
34 Yehuun ol seenee waa nyaatee dhuge. Innis, “Dubartii abaaramtuu kana fuudhaatii awwaalaa; isheen intala mootii turteetii” jedhe.
When he had come in, he ate and drink; and he said, "See now to 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.
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.
Therefore they came back, and told him. He said, "This is the word of Jehovah, which he spoke by his servant Elijah the Tishbite, saying, 'The dogs will eat the flesh of Jezebel on the plot of Jezreel,
37 Reeffi Iizaabelis akka namni tokko iyyuu, ‘Kun Iizaabel’ jechuu hin dandeenyeef lafa qotiisaa Yizriʼeel keessaa tokko irratti akkuma kosii taʼa.”
and the body of Jezebel shall be as dung on the face of the field in the portion of Jezreel, so that they shall not say, "This is Jezebel."'"
