2 Kings 4
1 Now a certain woman of the wives of the sons of the prophets cried out to Elisha, saying, “Your servant my husband is dead. You know that your servant feared the LORD. Now the creditor has come to take for himself my two children to be slaves.”
Niitiin namicha ilmaan raajotaa keessaa tokko taʼe tokkoo sagalee ol fudhattee Elsaaʼiin akkana jette; “Dhirsi koo garbichi kee duʼeera; akka inni Waaqayyoon sodaachaa ture atuu ni beekta. Namichi liqii isa irraa qabu tokko garuu amma ilmaan koo lamaan fudhatee garboomfachuuf dhufaa jira.”
2 Elisha said to her, “What should I do for you? Tell me, what do you have in the house?” She said, “Your servant has nothing in the house, except a pot of oil.”
Elsaaʼis, “Ani akkamittin si gargaaruu dandaʼa? Mee natti himi; mana kee keessaa maal qabdaa?” jedheen. Isheenis, “Garbittiin kee zayitii xinnoo tokko malee homaa manaa hin qabdu” jettee deebifte.
3 Then he said, “Go, borrow empty containers from all your neighbours. Don’t borrow just a few containers.
Elsaaʼi akkana jedheen; “Dhaqiitii warra ollaa keetii hunda okkotee duwwaa hedduu kadhadhu. Muraasa hin kadhatin.
4 Go in and shut the door on you and on your sons, and pour oil into all those containers; and set aside those which are full.”
Ergasii ol galiitii ofii keetii fi ilmaan keetti balbala cufi. Okkotee hundatti zayitii naqiitii yommuu tokkoon tokkoon isaa guutamutti jalaa hiiqsi.”
5 So she went from him, and shut the door on herself and on her sons. They brought the containers to her, and she poured oil.
Isheenis isa biraa deemtee ofii isheettii fi ilmaan isheetti balbala cufte. Ilmaan ishee okkotee gara isheetti fidan; isheen immoo zayitii itti naqaa turte.
6 When the containers were full, she said to her son, “Bring me another container.” He said to her, “There isn’t another container.” Then the oil stopped flowing.
Okkoteen hundi guutamnaan isheen ilma isheetiin, “kan biraa naaf fidi” jette. Inni immoo, “Okkoteen tokko iyyuu hin hafne” jedhee deebiseef. Kana irratti zayitiin sun yaaʼuu dhiise.
7 Then she came and told the man of God. He said, “Go, sell the oil, and pay your debt; and you and your sons live on the rest.”
Isheen dhaqxee nama Waaqaa sanatti himte; innis, “Dhaqii zayitii sana gurguriitii liqii kee baafadhu. Atii fi ilmaan kee waan hafeen jiraachuu ni dandeessu” jedhe.
8 One day Elisha went to Shunem, where there was a prominent woman; and she persuaded him to eat bread. So it was, that as often as he passed by, he turned in there to eat bread.
Gaaf tokko Elsaaʼi kaʼee Suunam dhaqe. Dubartiin soorettiin tokko achi jiraatti turte; isheenis akka inni goree waa nyaatuuf Elsaaʼi kadhatte. Kanaafuu inni yeroo karaa sanaan darbu hunda goree waa nyaata ture.
9 She said to her husband, “See now, I perceive that this is a holy man of God who passes by us continually.
Isheenis dhirsa isheetiin akkana jette; “Ani namichi yeroo hunda karaa keenyaan darbu kun qulqulluu nama Waaqaa akka taʼe nan beeka.
10 Please, let’s make a little room on the roof. Let’s set a bed, a table, a chair, and a lamp stand for him there. When he comes to us, he can stay there.”
Kottu mee bantii manaa irratti kutaa xinnaa tokko ijaarree siree fi minjaala, barcumaa fi ibsaa achi keessa haa keenyuuf. Ergasiis inni yeroo nu bira dhufu hunda achi jiraachuu dandaʼa.”
11 One day he came there, and he went to the room and lay there.
Elsaaʼis gaaf tokko dhufee ol baʼee kutaa isaa sana keessa ciise.
12 He said to Gehazi his servant, “Call this Shunammite.” When he had called her, she stood before him.
Innis tajaajilaa isaa Gehaaziin, “Mee dubartii Suunam sana as waami” jedhe. Gehaaz ishee waamnaan isheen dhuftee fuula Elsaaʼi dura dhaabatte.
13 He said to him, “Say now to her, ‘Behold, you have cared for us with all this care. What is to be done for you? Would you like to be spoken for to the king, or to the captain of the army?’” She answered, “I dwell amongst my own people.”
Elsaaʼi immoo akkana isaan jedhe; “‘Ati nuuf jettee baayʼee dadhabdeerta. Amma maal siif haa godhu? Iddoo kee buunee mootichatti yookaan ajajaa loltootaatti siif dubbannuu?’ jedhii isheetti himi.” Ishee immoo, “Ani saba koo gidduun jiraadha” jettee deebifte.
14 He said, “What then is to be done for her?” Gehazi answered, “Most certainly she has no son, and her husband is old.”
Elsaaʼis, “Maaltu isheef godhamuu dandaʼa?” jedhee gaafate. Gehaaz immoo, “Isheen ilma hin qabdu; dhirsi ishees dulloomee jira” jedheen.
15 He said, “Call her.” When he had called her, she stood in the door.
Elsaaʼis, “Ishee waami” jedheen. Kanaafuu inni ishee waame; isheenis balbala dura dhaabatte.
16 He said, “At this season next year, you will embrace a son.” She said, “No, my lord, you man of God, do not lie to your servant.”
Elsaaʼi, “Ati waggaa dhufu keessa yeroo kanatti ilma ni hammatta” jedheen. Isheen immoo, “Akkas miti yaa gooftaa koo; yaa nama Waaqaa, ati garbittii kee hin gowwoomsin!” jette.
17 The woman conceived, and bore a son at that season when the time came around, as Elisha had said to her.
Dubartiin sun garuu ni ulfoofte; akkuma Elsaaʼi isheetti hime sanatti waggaa itti aanu keessa yeruma sanatti ilma deesse.
18 When the child was grown, one day he went out to his father to the reapers.
Mucaan sunis ni guddate; innis gaaf tokko gara warra midhaan haamanii abbaa isaa bira dhaqe.
19 He said to his father, “My head! My head!” He said to his servant, “Carry him to his mother.”
Innis abbaa isaatiin, “Mataa koo! Mataa koo!” jedhe. Abbaan isaa immoo hojjetaa tokkoon, “Baadhuutii gara haadha isaatti isa geessi” jedhe.
20 When he had taken him and brought him to his mother, he sat on her knees until noon, and then died.
Erga hojjetaan sun fuudhee gara haadha isaati isa geessee booddee mucaan sun hamma saafaatti gudeeda haadha isaa irra taaʼee ergasii immoo ni duʼe.
21 She went up and laid him on the man of God’s bed, and shut the door on him, and went out.
Isheen ol baatee siree nama Waaqaa sanaa irra isa ciibsite; mana itti cuftees kaatee biraa deemte.
22 She called to her husband and said, “Please send me one of the servants, and one of the donkeys, that I may run to the man of God and come again.”
Isheen dhirsa ishee waamtee, “Mee akka ani dafee gara nama Waaqaa dhaqee deebiʼuuf hojjetaa tokkoo fi harree tokko naaf ergi” jetteen.
23 He said, “Why would you want to go to him today? It is not a new moon or a Sabbath.” She said, “It’s all right.”
Inni immoo, “Harʼa ayyaana baatii miti yookaan Sanbata miti. Ati maaliif harʼa gara isaa dhaqxa ree?” jedheen. Isheen, “Nagumaafin dhaqa” jette.
24 Then she saddled a donkey, and said to her servant, “Drive, and go forward! Don’t slow down for me, unless I ask you to.”
Isheenis harree ishee irra kooraa kaaʼattee hojjetaa isheetiin, “Karaa qabadhu; yoo ani sitti hime malee anaaf jettee suuta hin deemsisin” jette.
25 So she went, and came to the man of God to Mount Carmel. When the man of God saw her afar off, he said to Gehazi his servant, “Behold, there is the Shunammite.
Kanaafuu isheen kaatee gara Tulluu Qarmeloos nama Waaqaa sana bira dhaqxe. Namni Waaqaa sun fagootti ishee arginaan tajaajilaa isaa Gehaaziin akkana jedhe; “Ilaa! Dubartiin Suunam sun kuunnoo ti!
26 Please run now to meet her, and ask her, ‘Is it well with you? Is it well with your husband? Is it well with your child?’” She answered, “It is well.”
Fiigii ishee simadhuutii, ‘Ati fayyumaa? Dhirsi kee fayyumaa? Mucaan kee fayyumaa?’ jedhii gaafadhu.” Isheenis, “Wanni hundinuu naguma” jettee deebifte.
27 When she came to the man of God to the hill, she caught hold of his feet. Gehazi came near to thrust her away; but the man of God said, “Leave her alone, for her soul is troubled within her; and the LORD has hidden it from me, and has not told me.”
Isheen yommuu tulluu sana irratti nama Waaqaa sana bira geessetti, jabeessitee miilla isaa qabatte. Gehaaz immoo gad dhiisisuuf dhufe; namni Waaqaa sun garuu, “Ishee hin tuqin! Isheen gadda guddaa keessa jirti; Waaqayyo garuu waan kana na dhokse; nattis hin himne” jedhe.
28 Then she said, “Did I ask you for a son, my lord? Didn’t I say, ‘Do not deceive me’?”
Isheenis, “Yaa gooftaa koo ani ilma si kadhadheeraa? Ani, ‘Na hin gowwoomsin’ siin hin jennee?” jetteen.
29 Then he said to Gehazi, “Tuck your cloak into your belt, take my staff in your hand, and go your way. If you meet any man, don’t greet him; and if anyone greets you, don’t answer him again. Then lay my staff on the child’s face.”
Kana irratti Elsaaʼi Gehaaziin akkana jedhe; “Sabbataan mudhii kee hidhadhuutii, ulee koo harkatti qabadhuutii fiigi. Nama karaatti argite tokko illee hin dubbisin; yoo namni kam iyyuu si dubbise deebii hin kenniniif; ulee koos fuula mucaa sanaa irra kaaʼi.”
30 The child’s mother said, “As the LORD lives, and as your soul lives, I will not leave you.” So he arose, and followed her.
Haati daaʼima sanaa garuu, “Dhugaa Waaqayyo jiraataa, ani lubbuu keetiin nan kakadha; ani si dhiisee hin deemu” jette. Kanaafuu inni kaʼee ishee duukaa buʼe.
31 Gehazi went ahead of them, and laid the staff on the child’s face; but there was no voice and no hearing. Therefore he returned to meet him, and told him, “The child has not awakened.”
Gehaaz isaan dura darbee ulee sana fuula mucaa irra kaaʼe; garuu sagaleen yookaan mallattoon tokko iyyuu hin turre. Kanaaf Gehaaz gara Elsaaʼitti deebiʼee, “Mucaan hin dammaqne” jedhee itti hime.
32 When Elisha had come into the house, behold, the child was dead, and lying on his bed.
Yommuu Elsaaʼi mana gaʼetti mucaan sun duʼee siree isaa irra ciisaa ture.
33 He went in therefore, and shut the door on them both, and prayed to the LORD.
Elsaaʼis ol seenee, ofii fi mucaatti balbala cufee Waaqayyoon kadhate.
34 He went up and lay on the child, and put his mouth on his mouth, and his eyes on his eyes, and his hands on his hands. He stretched himself on him; and the child’s flesh grew warm.
Ergasiis siree yaabbatee, afaan isaa afaan mucaa irra, ija isaa ija mucaa irra, harka isaa harka mucaa irra kaaʼee mucicha irra ciise. Akkuma inni mucaa sana irratti diriireen dhagni mucaa hoʼuu jalqabe.
35 Then he returned, and walked in the house once back and forth, then went up and stretched himself out on him. Then the child sneezed seven times, and the child opened his eyes.
Elsaaʼi achi garagalee mana keessa asii fi achi nanaannaʼee amma illee siree yaabbatee mucaa irratti diriire. Mucaan sunis yeroo torba haxxifatee ija banate.
36 He called Gehazi, and said, “Call this Shunammite!” So he called her. When she had come in to him, he said, “Take up your son.”
Elsaaʼis Gehaazin waamee, “Dubartii Suunam sana as waami” jedhe. Innis ishee waame. Elsaaʼi yommuu isheen gara isaa dhuftetti, “Kunoo mucaa kee fudhadhu” jedheen.
37 Then she went in, fell at his feet, and bowed herself to the ground; then she picked up her son, and went out.
Isheen ol seentee, miilla isaa irratti kuftee addaan lafatti gombifamte. Ergasiis mucaa ishee fudhattee gad baate.
38 Elisha came again to Gilgal. There was a famine in the land; and the sons of the prophets were sitting before him; and he said to his servant, “Get the large pot, and boil stew for the sons of the prophets.”
Elsaaʼis kaʼee Gilgaalitti deebiʼe; yeroo sanatti biyya sana keessa beelatu ture. Innis utuu waldaan raajotaa fuula isaa dura taaʼaa jiranii tajaajilaa isaatiin, “Okkotee guddicha ibiddaa irra kaaʼiitii namoota kanaaf ittoo bilcheessi” jedhe.
39 One went out into the field to gather herbs, and found a wild vine, and gathered a lap full of wild gourds from it, and came and cut them up into the pot of stew; for they didn’t recognise them.
Isaan keessaa namni tokko raafuu funaannachuuf gad baʼee wayinii bosonaa tokko arge. Wayinii bosonaa sana irraa wiillee ciree dachaa uffata isaa guuttate. Yeroo deebiʼettis buqqee sana murmuree okkotee ittoo sanatti naqe. Namni tokko iyyuu waan sana hin beeku tureetii.
40 So they poured out for the men to eat. As they were eating some of the stew, they cried out and said, “Man of God, there is death in the pot!” And they could not eat it.
Ittoon sunis jaraaf dhiʼeeffame; isaan garuu akkuma nyaachuu jalqabaniin, “Yaa nama Waaqaa, okkotee kana keessa duʼatu jira!” jedhanii iyyan. Isaanis ittoo sana nyaachuu hin dandeenye.
41 But he said, “Then bring meal.” He threw it into the pot; and he said, “Serve it to the people, that they may eat.” And there was nothing harmful in the pot.
Elsaaʼi, “Daakuu wayii naa fidaa” jedhe. Daakuu sanas okkoteetti naqee, “Akka nyaataniif namootaaf dhiʼeessaa” jedhe. Ergasii wanni nama miidhu tokko iyyuu okkotee sana keessatti hin argamne.
42 A man from Baal Shalishah came, and brought the man of God some bread of the first fruits: twenty loaves of barley and fresh ears of grain in his sack. Elisha said, “Give to the people, that they may eat.”
Namichi tokko buddeena garbuu kan mataa midhaan bilchaatee irraa tolfame digdamaa fi asheetii midhaanii nama Waaqaa sanaaf fidee Baʼaal Shaaliishaadhaa dhufe. Elsaaʼis, “Akka isaan nyaataniif namootaaf kenni” jedhe.
43 His servant said, “What, should I set this before a hundred men?” But he said, “Give it to the people, that they may eat; for the LORD says, ‘They will eat, and will have some left over.’”
Tajaajilaan isaa immoo, “Ani akkamiinan waan kana nama dhibba tokko duratti dhiʼeessuu dandaʼa?” jedhee gaafate. Elsaaʼi garuu, “Akka isaan nyaataniif namootaaf kenni. Waaqayyo akkana jedhaatii; ‘Isaan nyaatanii hambaa illee ni qabaatu’” jedhee deebise.
44 So he set it before them and they ate and had some left over, according to the LORD’s word.
Innis fuudhee isaan duratti dhiʼeesse; isaanis akkuma dubbii Waaqayyoo sanaatti nyaatanii hambaa hambisan.
