Shuuneemiyaddii Oo Dhulkeedii Loo Soo Celiyey

Markaasaa Eliishaa la hadlay naagtii uu wiilkeeda soo noolaysiiyey oo wuxuu ku yidhi, Sara joogso oo tag, adiga iyo reerkaagiiba, oo waxaad degtaa meel alla meeshii aad degi karto, maxaa yeelay, Rabbigu wuxuu amray in dalka abaaru ku dhacdo, oo waxay dalka joogi doontaa toddoba sannadood. Markaasaa naagtii sara joogsatay oo yeeshay sidii eraygii ninkii Ilaah ahaa; oo way tagtay iyada iyo reerkeediiba oo intii toddoba sannadood ah ayay degganayd dalkii reer Falastiin. Oo markii toddobadii sannadood ay dhammaadeen ayay naagtii ka soo noqotay dalkii reer Falastiin; oo waxay u tagtay boqorkii inay ugu qayshato gurigeedii iyo dhulkeedii. Markaasna boqorku wuxuu la hadlayay Geexasii oo ahaa midiidinkii ninkii Ilaah, oo wuxuu ku lahaa, Waxaan kaa baryayaa inaad ii sheegto waxyaalihii waaweynaa oo Eliishaa sameeyey oo dhan. Intuu boqorkii uga warramayay sidii uu u soo noolaysiiyey mid meyd ahaa, bal eeg, naagtii uu wiilkeeda soo noolaysiiyey ayaa boqorkii ugu qayshatay gurigeedii iyo dhulkeedii. Oo Geexasiina wuxuu yidhi, Sayidkaygiiyow, boqorow, tanu waa naagtii, kanuna waa wiilkeedii Eliishaa soo noolaysiiyey. Oo boqorkiina markuu naagtii saas weyddiiyey ayay iyana u sheegtay. Markaasaa boqorkii iyadii u amray sirkaal oo ku yidhi, U wada celi wax alla wixii ay lahayd oo dhan, iyo weliba midhihii beerteeda ka baxay tan iyo maalintii ay dalka ka tagtay iyo ilaa haddeer.

Xasaa'eel Oo Dilay Benhadad

Oo Benhadad oo ahaa boqorkii Suuriya isagoo buka ayaa Eliishaa Dimishaq yimid, oo waa loo sheegay oo waxaa lagu yidhi, War ninkii Ilaah waa yimid. Markaasaa boqorkii Xasaa'eel ku yidhi, Hadiyad qaad, oo waxaad ka hor tagtaa ninka Ilaah, oo Rabbiga wax iiga soo weyddii, oo waxaad ku tidhaahdaa, Boqorku ma cudurkuu ka bogsanayaa? Markaasaa Xasaa'eel tegey inuu isagii ka hor tago oo wuxuu qaaday hadiyad ah Dimishaq wax alla waxeedii wanaagsanaa oo dhan oo afartan rati ku raran, oo intuu u yimid ayuu soo hor istaagay oo yidhi, Waxaa ii soo kaa diray wiilkaagii Benhadad oo ah boqorkii Suuriya, oo wuxuu leeyahay, Miyaan cudurkan ka bogsanayaa? 10 Markaasaa Eliishaa wuxuu isagii ku yidhi, Tag, oo waxaad ku tidhaahdaa, Hubaal waad bogsanaysaa; habase yeeshee Rabbigu wuxuu i tusay inuu hubaal dhimanayo. 11 Oo isna wuu ku dhaygagay ilaa uu isku yaxyaxay; markaasaa ninkii Ilaah ooyay. 12 Markaasaa Xasaa'eel ku yidhi, Sayidkaygiiyow, maxaad u ooyaysaa? Oo isna wuxuu ugu jawaabay, Maxaa yeelay, waxaan ogahay xumaanta aad dadka Israa'iil ku samayn doonto; waayo, qalcadahooda dab baad ku dhejin doontaa, oo raggooda dhallinyarada ahna seef baad ku wada layn doontaa, oo dhallaankoodana dhulkaad ku tuuri doontaa, oo naagahooda uurka lehna waad dooxi doontaa. 13 Markaasaa Xasaa'eel yidhi, War sidee baan anigoo addoonkaaga ah oo aan eey waxba dhaamin waxyaalahan waaweyn u samayn doonaa? Markaasaa Eliishaa wuxuu ugu jawaabay, Rabbigu wuxuu i tusay inaad noqon doontid boqor Suuriya u taliya. 14 Markaasuu Eliishaa ka tegey oo wuxuu u yimid sayidkiisii isaga ku yidhi, War maxaa Eliishaa kugu soo yidhi? Oo isna wuxuu ugu jawaabay, Wuxuu ii sheegay inaad hubaal bogsanaysid. 15 Oo maalintii ku xigtay ayuu maro qaaday oo biyo dhex geliyey, markaasuu wejiga boqorka ku deday wuuna dhintay; oo meeshiisiina Xasaa'eel ayaa boqor ka noqday.

Yehooraam, Boqorkii Yahuudah

16 Yooraam oo ahaa ina Axaab boqorkii dalka Israa'iil sannaddiisii shanaad, oo Yehooshaafaadna dalka Yahuudah boqorka ka ahaa, ayaa Yehooraam ina Yehooshaafaad dalka Yahuudah boqor ka noqday. 17 Oo markuu boqor noqday wuxuu jiray laba iyo soddon sannadood, siddeed sannadoodna boqor buu ku ahaa Yeruusaalem. 18 Oo wuxuu ku socday jidkii ay boqorradii dalka Israa'iil mareen, sidii reerkii Axaab yeelay oo kale, waayo, wuxuu qabay Axaab gabadhiisii; oo wuxuu sameeyey wax Rabbiga hortiisa shar ku ah. 19 Habase yeeshee Rabbigu ma uu doonaynin inuu dalka Yahuudah baabbi'iyo, sababtuna waa addoonkiisii Daa'uud aawadiis, waayo, wuxuu u ballanqaaday inuu isaga iyo carruurtiisa had iyo goorba laambad siiyo. 20 Oo wakhtigiisii ayaa reer Edom ka fallaagoobay dadka Yahuudah, oo iyana waxay yeesheen boqor u taliya. 21 Markaasaa Yooraam u gudbay xagga Saaciir, isagoo wata gaadhifardoodkiisii oo dhan; oo intuu habeennimo kacay ayuu laayay reer Edom oo hareereeyey isaga iyo saraakiishii gaadhifardoodka, dadkiina waxay ku carareen teendhooyinkoodii. 22 Reer Edomna way ka fallaagoobeen oo way ka hoos baxeen gacantii dadka Yahuudah ilaa maantadan la joogo. Oo haddana isla markaasba waxaa kaloo ka fallaagoobay reer Libnaah. 23 Oo Yooraam falimihiisii kale iyo wixii uu sameeyey oo dhammu sow kuma qorna kitaabkii taariikhda boqorradii dalka Yahuudah?

24 Markaasaa Yooraam dhintay oo la seexday awowayaashiis, oo waxaa awowayaashiis lagula aasay magaaladii Daa'uud; oo waxaa meeshiisii boqor ka noqday wiilkiisii Axasyaah.

Axasyaah, Boqorkii Yahuudah

25 Oo boqorkii dalka Israa'iil oo ahaa Yooraam ina Axaab sannaddiisii laba iyo tobnaad ayaa Axasyaah ina Yehooraam dalka Yahuudah boqor ka noqday. 26 Oo Axasyaah markuu boqor noqday wuxuu jiray laba iyo labaatan sannadood, oo sannad ayuu Yeruusaalem boqor ka ahaa. Hooyadiisna magaceeda waxaa la odhan jiray Catalyaah, oo waxay ahayd ina Coomrii oo ahaa boqorkii dalka Israa'iil. 27 Oo wuxuu ku socday jidkii reerkii Axaab maray, oo wuxuu sameeyey wax Rabbiga hortiisa shar ku ah sidii reerkii Axaab yeelay oo kale, waayo, isaga waxaa soddog u ahaa Axaab. 28 Oo wuxuu raacay Yooraam oo ahaa ina Axaab inay Xasaa'eel oo ahaa boqorkii Suuriya kula diriraan Raamod Gilecaad; oo reer Suuriyana Yooraam bay dhaawaceen. 29 Oo Boqor Yooraamna wuxuu ku noqday Yesreceel in laga soo daweeyo nabrihii ay reer Suuriya Raamaah kaga dhufteen markuu la diriray Xasaa'eel oo ahaa boqorkii Suuriya. Markaasaa Axasyaah ina Yehooraam oo ahaa boqorkii dalka Yahuudah Yesreceel tegey inuu soo arko Yooraam ina Axaab, maxaa yeelay, dhaawac buu ahaa.

The Shunammite’s Land Restored

Now Elisha had said to the woman(A) whose son he had restored to life, “Go away with your family and stay for a while wherever you can, because the Lord has decreed a famine(B) in the land that will last seven years.”(C) The woman proceeded to do as the man of God said. She and her family went away and stayed in the land of the Philistines seven years.

At the end of the seven years she came back from the land of the Philistines and went to appeal to the king for her house and land. The king was talking to Gehazi, the servant of the man of God, and had said, “Tell me about all the great things Elisha has done.” Just as Gehazi was telling the king how Elisha had restored(D) the dead to life, the woman whose son Elisha had brought back to life came to appeal to the king for her house and land.

Gehazi said, “This is the woman, my lord the king, and this is her son whom Elisha restored to life.” The king asked the woman about it, and she told him.

Then he assigned an official to her case and said to him, “Give back everything that belonged to her, including all the income from her land from the day she left the country until now.”

Hazael Murders Ben-Hadad

Elisha went to Damascus,(E) and Ben-Hadad(F) king of Aram was ill. When the king was told, “The man of God has come all the way up here,” he said to Hazael,(G) “Take a gift(H) with you and go to meet the man of God. Consult(I) the Lord through him; ask him, ‘Will I recover from this illness?’”

Hazael went to meet Elisha, taking with him as a gift forty camel-loads of all the finest wares of Damascus. He went in and stood before him, and said, “Your son Ben-Hadad king of Aram has sent me to ask, ‘Will I recover from this illness?’”

10 Elisha answered, “Go and say to him, ‘You will certainly recover.’(J) Nevertheless,[a] the Lord has revealed to me that he will in fact die.” 11 He stared at him with a fixed gaze until Hazael was embarrassed.(K) Then the man of God began to weep.(L)

12 “Why is my lord weeping?” asked Hazael.

“Because I know the harm(M) you will do to the Israelites,” he answered. “You will set fire to their fortified places, kill their young men with the sword, dash(N) their little children(O) to the ground, and rip open(P) their pregnant women.”

13 Hazael said, “How could your servant, a mere dog,(Q) accomplish such a feat?”

“The Lord has shown me that you will become king(R) of Aram,” answered Elisha.

14 Then Hazael left Elisha and returned to his master. When Ben-Hadad asked, “What did Elisha say to you?” Hazael replied, “He told me that you would certainly recover.” 15 But the next day he took a thick cloth, soaked it in water and spread it over the king’s face, so that he died.(S) Then Hazael succeeded him as king.

Jehoram King of Judah(T)

16 In the fifth year of Joram(U) son of Ahab king of Israel, when Jehoshaphat was king of Judah, Jehoram(V) son of Jehoshaphat began his reign as king of Judah. 17 He was thirty-two years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem eight years. 18 He followed the ways of the kings of Israel, as the house of Ahab had done, for he married a daughter(W) of Ahab. He did evil in the eyes of the Lord. 19 Nevertheless, for the sake of his servant David, the Lord was not willing to destroy(X) Judah. He had promised to maintain a lamp(Y) for David and his descendants forever.

20 In the time of Jehoram, Edom rebelled against Judah and set up its own king.(Z) 21 So Jehoram[b] went to Zair with all his chariots. The Edomites surrounded him and his chariot commanders, but he rose up and broke through by night; his army, however, fled back home. 22 To this day Edom has been in rebellion(AA) against Judah. Libnah(AB) revolted at the same time.

23 As for the other events of Jehoram’s reign, and all he did, are they not written in the book of the annals of the kings of Judah? 24 Jehoram rested with his ancestors and was buried with them in the City of David. And Ahaziah his son succeeded him as king.

Ahaziah King of Judah(AC)

25 In the twelfth(AD) year of Joram son of Ahab king of Israel, Ahaziah son of Jehoram king of Judah began to reign. 26 Ahaziah was twenty-two years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem one year. His mother’s name was Athaliah,(AE) a granddaughter of Omri(AF) king of Israel. 27 He followed the ways of the house of Ahab(AG) and did evil(AH) in the eyes of the Lord, as the house of Ahab had done, for he was related by marriage to Ahab’s family.

28 Ahaziah went with Joram son of Ahab to war against Hazael king of Aram at Ramoth Gilead.(AI) The Arameans wounded Joram; 29 so King Joram returned to Jezreel(AJ) to recover from the wounds the Arameans had inflicted on him at Ramoth[c] in his battle with Hazael(AK) king of Aram.

Then Ahaziah(AL) son of Jehoram king of Judah went down to Jezreel to see Joram son of Ahab, because he had been wounded.
