KITAABKII LABAAD EE
BOQORRADII

Axasyaah Oo Xukunkii Ilaah Ku Dhacay

Oo markii Axaab dhintay dabadeed ayaa reer Moo'aab ku caasiyoobeen dalka Israa'iil. 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. 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? Haddaba sidaas daraaddeed Rabbigu wuxuu leeyahay, Sariirta aad fuushay ka soo degan maysid, laakiinse hubaal waad dhimanaysaa. Dabadeedna Eliiyaah waa iska tegey. Kolkaasaa wargeeyayaashii isagii ku soo noqdeen, oo isna wuxuu ku yidhi, War maxaad u soo noqoteen? 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. Oo isna wuxuu iyagii ku yidhi, Ninkii idinka hor yimid oo waxakan idiin sheegay nin caynkee ah buu ahaa? 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 18 Haddaba Axasyaah falimihiisii kale ee uu sameeyey sow kuma qorna kitaabkii taariikhda boqorradii dalka Israa'iil?

The Lord’s Judgment on Ahaziah

After Ahab’s death, Moab(A) rebelled against Israel. Now Ahaziah had fallen through the lattice of his upper room in Samaria and injured himself. So he sent messengers,(B) saying to them, “Go and consult Baal-Zebub,(C) the god of Ekron,(D) to see if I will recover(E) from this injury.”

But the angel(F) of the Lord said to Elijah(G) the Tishbite, “Go up and meet the messengers of the king of Samaria and ask them, ‘Is it because there is no God in Israel(H) that you are going off to consult Baal-Zebub, the god of Ekron?’ Therefore this is what the Lord says: ‘You will not leave(I) the bed you are lying on. You will certainly die!’” So Elijah went.

When the messengers returned to the king, he asked them, “Why have you come back?”

“A man came to meet us,” they replied. “And he said to us, ‘Go back to the king who sent you and tell him, “This is what the Lord says: Is it because there is no God in Israel that you are sending messengers to consult Baal-Zebub, the god of Ekron? Therefore you will not leave(J) the bed you are lying on. You will certainly die!”’”

The king asked them, “What kind of man was it who came to meet you and told you this?”

They replied, “He had a garment of hair[a](K) and had a leather belt around his waist.”

The king said, “That was Elijah the Tishbite.”

Then he sent(L) to Elijah a captain(M) with his company of fifty men. The captain went up to Elijah, who was sitting on the top of a hill, and said to him, “Man of God, the king says, ‘Come down!’”

10 Elijah answered the captain, “If I am a man of God, may fire come down from heaven and consume you and your fifty men!” Then fire(N) fell from heaven and consumed the captain and his men.

11 At this the king sent to Elijah another captain with his fifty men. The captain said to him, “Man of God, this is what the king says, ‘Come down at once!’”

12 “If I am a man of God,” Elijah replied, “may fire come down from heaven and consume you and your fifty men!” Then the fire of God fell from heaven and consumed him and his fifty men.

13 So the king sent a third captain with his fifty men. This third captain went up and fell on his knees before Elijah. “Man of God,” he begged, “please have respect for my life(O) and the lives of these fifty men, your servants! 14 See, fire has fallen from heaven and consumed the first two captains and all their men. But now have respect for my life!”

15 The angel(P) of the Lord said to Elijah, “Go down with him; do not be afraid(Q) of him.” So Elijah got up and went down with him to the king.

16 He told the king, “This is what the Lord says: Is it because there is no God in Israel for you to consult that you have sent messengers(R) to consult Baal-Zebub, the god of Ekron? Because you have done this, you will never leave(S) the bed you are lying on. You will certainly die!” 17 So he died,(T) according to the word of the Lord that Elijah had spoken.

Because Ahaziah had no son, Joram[b](U) succeeded him as king in the second year of Jehoram son of Jehoshaphat king of Judah. 18 As for all the other events of Ahaziah’s reign, and what he did, are they not written in the book of the annals of the kings of Israel?
