Boqorradii Labaad 1
1 Oo markii Axaab dhintay dabadeed ayaa reer Moo'aab ku caasiyoobeen dalka Israa'iil.
After King Ahab died, [the country of] Moab rebelled against Israel.
2 Oo Axasyaahna wuxuu ka dhacay daaqaddii qolkiisii sare oo Samaariya ku yiil, wuuna bukooday, markaasuu wargeeyayaal diray, oo wuxuu ku yidhi, Taga oo Bacal Sebuub oo ah ilaaha reer Ceqroon waxaad ii soo weyddiisaan bal inaan buktadan ka bogsanayo iyo in kale.
One day, Ahaziah, [the new king of Israel, ] fell through the wooden slats/boards around the edge of the flat roof [of his palace] in Samaria. He was badly injured, so he summoned some messengers and told them, “Go to Ekron [city in Philistia], and ask their god Baalzebub whether I will (recover/become well).”
3 Laakiinse malaa'igtii Rabbigu waxay ku tidhi Eliiyaah kii reer Tishbii, Kac oo ka hor tag wargeeyayaasha boqorka Samaariya, oo waxaad ku tidhaahdaa, War ma Ilaah baan joogin dalka Israa'iil, oo saas aawadeed baad Bacal Sebuub wax u soo weyddiinaysaan?
But an angel from Yahweh said to Elijah, the prophet from Tishbe [town], “The king of Samaria [is sending] some messengers [to Ekron]. Go and meet them and say to them, ‘Is it because there is no God in Israel that you are going to Ekron to ask Baalzebub, the god of those people, [whether you will recover]?
4 Haddaba sidaas daraaddeed Rabbigu wuxuu leeyahay, Sariirta aad fuushay ka soo degan maysid, laakiinse hubaal waad dhimanaysaa. Dabadeedna Eliiyaah waa iska tegey.
Yahweh says [that you should tell King Ahaziah] that he will not recover from his being injured; he will surely die.’”
5 Kolkaasaa wargeeyayaashii isagii ku soo noqdeen, oo isna wuxuu ku yidhi, War maxaad u soo noqoteen?
[So Elijah went to meet] the messengers [and told that to them, and they] returned to the king [instead of going to Ekron]. The king asked them, “Why did you return [so soon]?”
6 Oo iyana waxay isagii ku yidhaahdeen, War nin baa naga hor yimid, oo wuxuu nagu yidhi, Taga, oo boqorkii idin soo diray ku noqda, oo waxaad ku tidhaahdaan, Rabbigu wuxuu leeyahay, War ma Ilaah baan joogin dalka Israa'iil, oo saas aawadeed baad u cid diranaysaa in wax la soo weyddiiyo Bacal Sebuub oo ah ilaaha reer Ceqroon? Haddaba sariirta aad fuushay ka soo degan maysid, laakiinse hubaal waad dhimanaysaa.
They replied, “A man came to meet us, and said to us, ‘Return to the king who sent you and tell him that Yahweh says, “(Is it because there no God in Israel that you are sending [messengers] to Ekron to consult Baalzebub, their god?/You seem to think there is no God in Israel, with the result that you are sending [messengers] to Ekron to ask Baalzebub, their god, [whether you will recover].) [RHQ] [Go tell the king that] he will not recover from being injured; instead, he will surely die.”’”
7 Oo isna wuxuu iyagii ku yidhi, Ninkii idinka hor yimid oo waxakan idiin sheegay nin caynkee ah buu ahaa?
The king said to them, “The man who came to meet you and told that to you, what did he look like?”
8 Oo iyana waxay isagii ugu jawaabeen, Wuxuu ahaa nin xaad badan, oo suun meged ahna dhexduu ku xidhnaa. Markaasuu yidhi, Kaasu waa Eliiyaah kii reer Tishbii.
They replied, “He was a hairy man and he had a [wide] leather belt around his waist.” The king exclaimed, “That was Elijah!”
9 Markaasaa boqorkii wuxuu u diray sirkaal konton xukuma oo wata kontonkiisii ninba. Isna kor buu ugu baxay, oo bal eeg, buur korkeed buu fadhiyey, oo intuu la hadlay buu ku yidhi, War nin yahow Ilaah, boqorkii wuxuu kugu soo yidhi, Soo deg oo kaalay.
Then the king sent an officer with 50 soldiers to seize Elijah. They found Elijah sitting on the top of a hill. The officer called out to him, “Prophet, the king commands that you come down here!”
10 Oo Eliiyaahna wuxuu ugu jawaabay sirkaalkii kontonka nin xukumay, Haddaan nin Ilaah ahay, samada dab ha ka soo dego, oo ha baabbi'iyo adiga iyo kontonkaaga ninba. Kolkaasaa waxaa samada ka soo degay dab, oo wuxuu wada baabbi'iyey isagii iyo kontonkiisii ninba.
But Elijah replied, “I am a prophet; so, I command that fire come down from the sky and burn up you and your 50 soldiers!” Immediately, fire came down from the sky and completely burned up the officer and his 50 [soldiers].
11 Oo haddana wuxuu isagii u diray sirkaal kale oo konton nin xukuma ee isna wata kontonkiisii. Oo isna intuu u jawaabay buu ku yidhi, War nin yahow Ilaah, waxaa boqorkii kugu soo yidhi, Soo deg oo haddiiba kaalay.
[When the king found out about that, ] he sent another officer with 50 more soldiers. They went [to where Elijah was], and the officer called out to him, “Prophet, the king commands that you come down immediately!”
12 Markaasaa Eliiyaah ugu jawaabay, Haddaan nin Ilaah ahay, samada dab ha ka soo dego, oo ha baabbi'iyo adiga iyo kontonkaaga ninba. Kolkaasaa waxaa samada ka soo degay dabkii Ilaah, oo wuxuu wada baabbi'iyey isagii iyo kontonkiisii ninba.
But Elijah replied, “I am a prophet; [to prove that, ] I command that fire come down from the sky and kill you and your soldiers!” Then a fire from God came down from the sky and killed the officer and his soldiers.
13 Oo haddana boqorkii wuxuu isagii u diray sirkaal saddexaad oo konton nin xukuma ee kontonkiisii nin wata. Oo sirkaalkii saddexaad oo kontonka nin xukumayna kor buu ugu baxay, oo intuu u yimid ayuu Eliiyaah hortiisa jilbo u dhacay oo baryay, oo wuxuu ku yidhi, War nin yahow Ilaah, waan ku baryayaaye naftayda iyo kontonkan nin oo addoommadaada ah naftooda hortaada qaali ha ku noqdeen.
[When the king heard about that] he sent another officer with 50 more soldiers. [They went to where Elijah was], and the officer prostrated himself in front of Elijah, and said to him, “Prophet, I plead with you, be kind to me and my 50 soldiers, and (do not kill us/allow us to remain alive)!
14 Waayo, bal eeg, dab baa samada ka soo degay oo wada baabbi'iyey labadii sirkaal oo iga soo horreeyey iyo kontomadoodiiba, laakiinse haatan naftaydu hortaada qaali ha ku noqoto.
[We know that] two times fire came down from the sky and killed officers and the 50 soldiers who were with them. So now, please be kind to me!”
15 Markaasaa malaa'igtii Rabbigu waxay Eliiyaah ku tidhi, Tag oo isaga raac; hana ka cabsan. Kolkaasuu kacay oo intuu isagii la dhaadhacay ayuu boqorkii u tegey.
Then the angel from Yahweh said to Elijah, “Go down [and go] with him. Do not be afraid of him.” So Elijah went with them to the king.
16 Oo wuxuu isagii ku yidhi, Rabbigu wuxuu ku leeyahay, Waxaad wargeeyayaal u soo dirtay inaad Bacal Sebuub oo ah ilaaha reer Ceqroon wax soo weyddiiso ee sababtu ma waxay tahay inaan dalka Israa'iil jirin Ilaah aad hadalkiisa wax weyddiiso? Haddaba sidaas daraaddeed sariirtii aad fuushay ka soo degan maysid, laakiinse hubaal waad dhimanaysaa.
[When Elijah arrived, ] he said to the king, “This is what Yahweh says: ‘You sent messengers to go to Ekron to ask Baalzebub, their god, [whether you would recover]. You acted as though [RHQ] there is no God in Israel to consult. So you will not recover from being injured; instead, you are going to die!’”
17 Markaasuu u dhintay sidii Eraygii Rabbiga oo Eliiyaah ku hadlay ahaa. Oo Yehooraam ayaa boqor ka noqday meeshiisii, oo taasuna waxay dhacday Yehooraam ina Yehooshaafaad oo boqor ka ahaa dalka Yahuudah sannaddiisii labaad, maxaa yeelay, isagu wiil ma uu lahayn.
So Ahaziah died, which is what Yahweh told Elijah would happen. Ahaziah’s [younger] brother Joram became the new king, when Jehoram, the son of Jehoshaphat, had been ruling Judah for almost two years. Ahaziah’s brother became the king because Ahaziah had no son [to become the king].
18 Haddaba Axasyaah falimihiisii kale ee uu sameeyey sow kuma qorna kitaabkii taariikhda boqorradii dalka Israa'iil?
[If you want to know about] all the other things that Ahaziah did, they are [RHQ] written in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Israel’.
