2 Mootota 1
1 Erga Ahaab duʼee booddee Moʼaab Israaʼelitti fincile.
After the death of Ahab, Moab made itself free from the authority of Israel.
2 Ahaaziyaanis qaawwa darbii mana isaa kan Samaariyaa keessaan kufee miidhamee ture. Kanaafuu inni, “Akka ani miidhaa kana irraa fayyuu fi fayyuu baachuu koo beekuuf dhaqaatii Baʼaal Zebuul waaqicha Eqroon sana naaf gaafadhaa” jedhee ergamoota erge.
Now Ahaziah had a fall from the window of his room in Samaria, and was ill. And he sent men, and said to them, Put a question to Baal-zebub, the god of Ekron, about the outcome of my disease, to see if I will get well or not.
3 Ergamaan Waaqayyoo garuu Eeliyaas namicha gosa Tishbii sanaan akkana jedhe; “Kaʼiitii gara ergamoota mooticha Samaariyaa sanaatti ol baʼiitii akkana jedhii isaan gaafadhu; ‘Wanni isin Baʼaal Zebuul waaqicha Eqroon sana gorsa gaafachuu dhaqxaniif Israaʼel keessaa Waaqni dhabameetii?’
But the angel of the Lord said to Elijah the Tishbite, Go now, and, meeting the men sent by the king of Samaria, say to them, Is it because there is no God in Israel, that you are going to get directions from Baal-zebub, the god of Ekron?
4 Kanaafuu Waaqayyo, ‘Ati siree amma irra ciiftu kana irraa hin kaatu. Ati dhugumaan ni duuta!’ jedha.” Kana irratti Eeliyaas kaʼee deeme.
Give ear then to the words of the Lord: You will never again get down from the bed on to which you have gone up, but death will certainly come to you. Then Elijah went away.
5 Mootichis yommuu ergamoonni gara isaatti deebiʼanitti, “Isin maaliif deebitan?” jedhee isaan gaafate.
And the men he had sent came back to the king; and he said to them, Why have you come back?
6 Isaanis akkana jedhanii deebisan; “Namicha tokkotu karaatti nutti dhufee, ‘Gara mooticha isin erge sanaatti deebiʼaatii akkana jedhaanii’ nuun jedhe; ‘Waaqayyo akkana jedha: Wanni ati Baʼaal Zebuul waaqicha Eqroon sana gorsa gaafachuuf namoota ergituuf Israaʼel keessaa Waaqni dhabameetii? Kanaafuu ati siree irra ciiftu kana irraa hin kaatu. Ati dhugumaan ni duuta!’”
And they said to him, On our way we had a meeting with a man who said, Go back to the king who sent you and say to him, The Lord says, Is it because there is no God in Israel that you send to put a question to Baal-zebub, the god of Ekron? For this reason, you will not come down from the bed on to which you have gone up, but death will certainly come to you.
7 Mootichi, “Namichi karaatti isinitti dhufee waan kana isinitti hime sun nama akkamii ti?” jedhee isaan gaafate.
And he said to them, What sort of a man was it who came and said these words to you?
8 Isaanis, “Inni nama uffata rifeensa irraa hojjetame uffatee sabbata gogaa mudhii isaatti hidhatu tokkoo dha” jedhanii deebisaniif. Mootichis, “Inni Eeliyaas namicha Tishbii sanaa dha” jedhe.
And they said in answer, He was a man clothed in a coat of hair, with a leather band about his body. Then he said, It is Elijah the Tishbite.
9 Kana irratti mootichi ajajaa waraanaa tokko namoota shantama wajjin Eeliyaasitti erge. Ajajaan sunis fiixee gaara inni irra taaʼaa ture tokkootti Eeliyaasitti ol baʼee, “Yaa nama Waaqaa, mootichi ‘Gad kottu!’ siin jedha” jedheen.
Then the king sent to him a captain of fifty with his fifty men; and he went up to him where he was seated on the top of a hill, and said to him, O man of God, the king has said, Come down.
10 Eeliyaas immoo ajajaa sanaan, “Yoo ani nama Waaqaa taʼe, ibiddi samii irraa gad buʼee siʼii fi namoota kee shantamman haa fixu!” jedhe. Ergasii ibiddi samii irraa gad buʼee ajajaa sanaa fi namoota isaa hunda fixe.
And Elijah in answer said to the captain of fifty, If I am a man of God, may fire come down from heaven on you and on your fifty men, and put an end to you. Then fire came down from heaven and put an end to him and his fifty men.
11 Kana irratti mootichi amma illee ajajaa biraa namoota shantama wajjin Eeliyaasitti erge. Ajajaan sunis, “Yaa nama Waaqaa, mootichi, ‘Dafii gad buʼiitii kottu!’ siin jedha” jedheen.
Then the king sent another captain of fifty with his fifty men; and he said to Elijah, O man of God, the king says, Come down quickly.
12 Eeliyaas garuu, “Yoo ani nama Waaqaa taʼe, ibiddi samii irraa gad buʼee siʼii fi namoota kee shantammanuu haa fixu!” jedhee deebiseef. Ibiddi Waaqaas samii irraa gad buʼee isaa fi namoota isaa shantammanuu ni fixe.
And Elijah in answer said, If I am a man of God, may fire come down from heaven on you and on your fifty men, and put an end to you. And the fire of God came down from heaven, and put an end to him and his fifty men.
13 Kanaafuu mootichi ammas ajajaa sadaffaa namoota shantama wajjin ni erge. Ajajaan sadaffaan kun ol baʼee jilba ofii isaatiin Eeliyaas duratti jilbeenfatee akkana jedhee isa ni kadhate; “Yaa nama Waaqaa, maaloo lubbuun koo fi lubbuun garboota kee shantamman kanneenii gatii hin dhabin!
Then he sent a third captain of fifty with his fifty men; and the third captain of fifty went up, and falling on his knees before Elijah, requesting mercy of him, said, O man of God, let my life and the life of these your fifty servants be of value to you.
14 Kunoo, ibiddi samii irraa gad buʼee ajajjuuwwan duraa lamaanii fi namoota isaanii hunda fixeera. Amma garuu lubbuun koo fuula kee duratti gatii haa qabaattu!”
For fire came down from heaven and put an end to the first two captains of fifty and their fifties; but now let my life be of value in your eyes.
15 Ergamaan Waaqayyoos Eeliyaasiin, “Isa wajjin gad buʼi; isa hin sodaatin” jedhe. Kanaafuu Eeliyaas kaʼee isa wajjin gara mootichaatti gad buʼe.
Then the angel of the Lord said to Elijah, Go down with him; have no fear of him. So he got up and went down with him to the king.
16 Innis akkana jedhee mootichatti hime; “Waaqayyo akkana jedha: Wanni ati Baʼaal Zebuul waaqicha Eqroon gorsa gaafachuudhaaf ergamoota ergiteef Israaʼel keessaa Waaqni gorsa gaafatamu dhabameetii? Ati sababii waan kana hojjetteef siree irra ciiftu kana irraa hin kaatu. Ati dhugumaan ni duuta!”
And he said to him, This is the word of the Lord: Because you sent men to put a question to Baal-zebub, the god of Ekron, for this reason you will never again get down from the bed on to which you have gone up, but death will certainly come to you.
17 Kanaafuu inni akkuma dubbii Waaqayyoo kan Eeliyaas dubbate sanaatti duʼe. Sababii Ahaaziyaan ilma hin qabneef obboleessi isaa Yehooraam iddoo isaa buʼee mootii taʼe; kunis bara Yehooraam ilmi Yehooshaafaax mootii Yihuudaa ture keessa waggaa lammaffaatti taʼe.
So death came to him, as the Lord had said by the mouth of Elijah. And Jehoram became king in his place in the second year of the rule of Jehoram, son of Jehoshaphat, king of Judah; because he had no son.
18 Wantoonni bara mootummaa Ahaaziyaa keessa hojjetaman kan biraa hundii fi wanti inni hojjete kitaaba seenaa mootota Israaʼel keessatti barreeffamaniiru mitii?
Now the rest of the acts of Ahaziah, are they not recorded in the book of the history of the kings of Israel?
