1 Kings 2
1 Now the days of David drew near that he should die. And he charged Solomon his son, saying,
Daawit Yeroon duʼa isaa dhiʼaannaan ilma isaa Solomoonin ajaje.
2 I am going the way of all the earth. Be thou strong therefore, and show thyself a man,
Innis akkana jedhe; “Ani karaa lafa hundumaa deemuufan jira. Kanaafuu ati jabaadhu; namas taʼi;
3 and keep the charge of Jehovah thy God, to walk in his ways, to keep his statutes, and his commandments, and his ordinances, and his testimonies, according to that which is written in the law of Moses, that thou may prosper in all that thou do, and wherever thou turn thyself.
waan Waaqayyo Waaqni kee barbaadu eegi; akka waan hojjettu hundaa fi lafa deemtu hundatti milkooftuuf akkuma seera Musee keessatti barreeffametti karaa isaa irra deemi; sirnaa fi ajaja isaa, seeraa fi dambii isaa eegi;
4 That Jehovah may establish his word which he spoke concerning me, saying, If thy sons take heed to their way, to walk before me in truth with all their heart and with all their soul, there shall not fail thee a man on the throne of Israel.
yoo ati akkas goote, Waaqayyo waan, ‘Yoo ilmaan kee karaa isaanii eeggatan, yoo isaan garaa isaanii guutuu fi lubbuu isaanii guutuudhaan amanamummaadhaan fuula koo dura jiraatan, ati teessoo Israaʼel irraa nama hin dhabdu’ jedhee na abdachiise sana fiixaan naa baasa.
5 Moreover thou also know what Joab the son of Zeruiah did to me, even what he did to the two captains of the armies of Israel, to Abner the son of Ner, and to Amasa the son of Jether, whom he killed, and shed the blood of war in peace, and put the blood of war upon his belt that was about his loins, and in his shoes that were on his feet.
“Ati mataan kee iyyuu waan Yooʼaab ilmi Zeruuyaa natti hojjete, waan inni ajajjoota loltoota Israaʼel lamaan jechuunis Abneer ilma Neerii fi Amaasaa ilma Yeteer godhe ni beekta. Inni bara nagaa keessa akka waan waraana keessatti taʼeetti isaan ajjeesee dhiiga isaanii dhangalaase; dhiiga sanas sabbata mudhii isaatii fi kophee faana isaatti faale.
6 Do therefore according to thy wisdom, and do not let his hoar head go down to Sheol in peace. (Sheol h7585)
Ogummaa keetiin isa adabi malee akka inni arrii isaatiin nagaan awwaalamu hin godhin. (Sheol h7585)
7 But show kindness to the sons of Barzillai the Gileadite, and let them be of those who eat at thy table, for so they came to me when I fled from Absalom thy brother.
“Garuu sababii isaan yeroo ani obboleessa kee Abesaaloom duraa baqadhetti na gargaaraniif ilmaan Barzilaayii namicha gosa Giliʼaad sanaatiif arjoomi; isaanis warra maaddii kee irraa nyaatan gidduu haa jiraatan.
8 And, behold, there is with thee Shimei the son of Gera, the Benjamite, of Bahurim, who cursed me with a grievous curse in the day when I went to Mahanaim. But he came down to meet me at the Jordan, and I swore to him by Jehovah, saying, I will not put thee to death with the sword.
“Shimeʼiin ilmi Geeraa namichi gosa Beniyaam kan biyya Bahuuriim inni gaafa ani Mahanayiim dhaqetti akka malee na abaare sun kunoo si wajjin jira. Ani garuu yeroo inni na simachuuf Yordaanos dhufetti, ‘Ani goraadeedhaan si hin ajjeesu’ jedhee maqaa Waaqayyootiin nan kakadheef.
9 Now therefore do not hold him guiltless, for thou are a wise man, and thou will know what thou ought to do to him, and thou shall bring his hoar head down to Sheol with blood. (Sheol h7585)
Ati garuu sababii nama ogeessa taateef amma akka waan inni balleessaa hin qabaatiniitti isa hin ilaalin. Atuu waan isa gootu ni beekta. Ati mataa isaa kan arraaʼe sana dhiigaan awwaala keessa buusi.” (Sheol h7585)
10 And David slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David.
Daawitis ergasii abbootii isaa wajjin boqotee Magaalaa Daawit keessatti awwaalame.
11 And the days that David reigned over Israel were forty years. He reigned seven years in Hebron, and he reigned thirty-three years in Jerusalem.
Innis waggaa afurtama Israaʼel irratti jechuunis waggaa torba Kebroonitti, waggaa soddomii sadii immoo Yerusaalemitti mootii taʼe.
12 And Solomon sat upon the throne of David his father, and his kingdom was established greatly.
Kanaafuu Solomoon teessoo abbaa isaa Daawit irra ni taaʼe; mootummaan isaas jabaatee dhaabate.
13 Then Adonijah the son of Haggith came to Bathsheba the mother of Solomon. And she said, Do thou come peaceably? And he said, Peaceably.
Yeroo kanatti Adooniyaan ilmi Hagiit gara Batisheebaa gara haadha Solomoon dhaqe. Batisheebaanis, “Ati nagumaaf dhuftee?” jettee isa gaafatte. Innis, “Eeyyee ani nagumaafan dhufe” jedhee deebiseef;
14 He said moreover, I have something to say to thee. And she said, Say on.
itti dabalees, “Ani waanan siin jechuu fedhu tokkon qaba” jedheen. Isheenis, “Mee jedhi” jettee deebifteef.
15 And he said, Thou know that the kingdom was mine, and that all Israel set their faces on me, that I should reign. However the kingdom is turned about, and has become my brother's, for it was his from Jehovah.
Innis akkana jedheen; “Akkuma ati beektu mootummaan kan koo ture. Warri Israaʼel hundinuus akka ani mootii isaanii taʼu na abdatan. Garuu wanni sun geeddaramee mootummaan gara obboleessa kootiitti deebiʼeera; wanni kun Waaqayyo biraa isaaf dhufeeraatii.
16 And now I ask one petition of thee; do not deny me. And she said to him, Say on.
Ani amma waanan si kadhadhu tokkon qaba; maaloo na hin didin.” Isheenis, “Kadhadhu” jetteen.
17 And he said, Speak, I pray thee, to Solomon the king (for he will not say no thee), that he give me Abishag the Shunammite to wife.
Innis itti fufee, “Akka inni Abiishagi intala gosa Suunam sana akka niitiitti naaf kennuuf maaloo Solomoon mooticha naa kadhadhu; inni si hin diduutii” jedheen.
18 And Bathsheba said, Well, I will speak for thee to the king.
Batisheebaanis, “Kun waan gaarii dha! Ani dhaqeen mootichatti siif dubbadha” jettee deebifteef.
19 Bathsheba therefore went to king Solomon to speak to him for Adonijah. And the king rose up to meet her, and bowed himself to her, and sat down on his throne, and caused a throne to be set for the king's mother. And she sat on his right hand.
Kanaafuu Batisheebaan Adooniyaaf jettee isatti dubbachuuf gara Solomoon Mootichaa dhaqxe; Mootichis ishee simachuuf ol kaʼee harka ishee fuudhee teessoo isaa irra taaʼe. Inni teessoo haadha mootiitiif fidame tokko of biraa qaba ture; isheenis gama mirga isaatiin teesse.
20 Then she said, I ask one small petition of thee; do not deny me. And the king said to her, Ask on, my mother, for I will not deny thee.
Isheenis, “Ani waanan si kadhadhu xinnoo tokko qaba; maaloo na hin didin” jetteen. Mootichis, “Yaa haadha koo kadhadhu; ani si hin diduutii” jedhee deebiseef.
21 And she said, Let Abishag the Shunammite be given to Adonijah thy brother to wife.
Isheenis, “Obboleessi kee Adooniyaan intala gosa Suunam kan Abiishagi jedhamtu sana haa fuudhu” jetteen.
22 And king Solomon answered and said to his mother, And why do thou ask Abishag the Shunammite for Adonijah? Ask for him the kingdom also, for he is my elder brother, even for him, and for Abiathar the priest, and for Joab the son of Zeruiah.
Solomoon mootichis akkana jedhee haadha isaatiif deebii kenne; “Ati maaliif Abiishagi intala gosa Suunam kana Adooniyaaf kadhatta? Ati mootummaa illee akkasuma isaaf kadhadhu; inni obboleessa koo hangafaatii; Abiyaataar lubichaa fi Yooʼaab ilma Zeruuyaatiif illee gaafadhu!”
23 Then king Solomon swore by Jehovah, saying, God do so to me, and more also, if Adonijah has not spoken this word against his own life.
Solomoon mootichis akkana jedhee maqaa Waaqayyootiin kakate; “Yoo Adooniyaan gatii kadhaa kanaa lubbuu ofii isaatiin baasuu baate, Waaqni natti haa muru; waan caalu iyyuu natti haa fidu!
24 Now therefore as Jehovah lives, who has established me, and set me on the throne of David my father, and who has made me a house as he promised, surely Adonijah shall be put to death this day.
Kanaafuu dhugaa Waaqayyo jiraataa isa jabeessee na dhaabee teessoo abbaa koo teessoo Daawit irra na kaaʼee fi isa akkuma waadaa gale sanatti mootummaa naaf hundeesse sanaa Adooniyaan dhugumaan harʼa ni ajjeefama!”
25 And king Solomon sent by Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and he fell upon him so that he died.
Solomoon mootichi Benaayaa ilma Yehooyaadaa ajaje; innis dhaqee Adooniyaa dhaʼee ajjeese.
26 And the king said to Abiathar the priest, Get thee to Anathoth, to thine own fields, for thou are worthy of death. But I will not at this time put thee to death, because thou bore the ark of the lord Jehovah before David my father, and because thou were afflicted in all wherein my father was afflicted.
Mootichis Abiyaataar lubichaan akkana jedhe; “Ati gara lafa qotiisaa kee kan Anaatoot jirtu sanaa deemi. Ati silaa duʼuu qabda turte; ani garuu sababii ati fuula abbaa koo Daawit duratti taabota Waaqayyo Gooftaa baattee rakkina abbaa kootii hunda illee qooddatteef amma si hin ajjeesu.”
27 So Solomon thrust out Abiathar from being priest to Jehovah, that he might fulfill the word of Jehovah, which he spoke concerning the house of Eli in Shiloh.
Kanaafuu Solomoon dubbii Waaqayyo Shiilootti waaʼee mana Eelii dubbate sana guutuudhaan Abiyaataarin lubummaa mana Waaqayyoo irraa buuse.
28 And the news came to Joab, for Joab had turned after Adonijah, though he did not turn after Absalom. And Joab fled to the tent of Jehovah, and caught hold on the horns of the altar.
Yommuu oduun kun Yooʼaab namicha Abesaaloomiif tumsuu dhiisee Adooniyaaf tumse sana bira gaʼetti, inni gara dunkaana Waaqayyootti baqatee gaanfa iddoo aarsaa sana qabate.
29 And it was told king Solomon, Joab has fled to the tent of Jehovah, and, behold, he is by the altar. Then Solomon sent Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, saying, Go, fall upon him.
Akka Yooʼaab gara dunkaana Waaqayyootti baqatee iddoo aarsaa bira jiru Solomoon Mootichatti ni himame. Solomoonis, “Dhaqiitii isa ajjeesi!” jedhee Benaayaa ilma Yehooyaadaa sana ajaje.
30 And Benaiah came to the tent of Jehovah, and said to him, Thus says the king, Come forth. And he said, No, but I will die here. And Benaiah brought the king word again, saying, Thus said Joab, and thus he answered me.
Kanaafuu Benaayaa dunkaana Waaqayyoo ol seenee Yooʼaabiin, “Mootichi, ‘Kottu baʼi!’ siin jedha” jedhe. Inni garuu, “Ani asumattin duʼa malee hin baʼu” jedhee deebise. Benaayaa immoo, “Yoʼaab akkana jedhee naaf deebise” jedhee mootichatti hime.
31 And the king said to him, Do as he has said, and fall upon him, and bury him, that thou may take away the blood, which Joab shed without cause, from me and from my father's house.
Mootichi akkana jedhee Benaayaa ajaje; “Akkuma inni jedhe sana godhi; ajjeesiitii isa awwaali; kanaanis yakka dhiiga nama qulqulluu kan Yooʼaab dhangalaase sanaa irraa anaa fi mana abbaa koo qulqulleessi.
32 And Jehovah will return his blood upon his own head, because he fell upon two men more righteous and better than he, and killed them with the sword, and my father David did not know it, namely, Abner the son of Ner, captain of the army of Israel, and Amasa the son of Jether, captain of the army of Judah.
Sababii inni utuu abbaan koo Daawit hin beekin namoota lama goraadeen ajjeeseef Waaqayyo gatii dhiiga inni dhangalaase sanaa isa baasisa. Namoonni inni ajjeese sun lamaan jechuunis Abneer ilmi Neer ajajaan loltoota Israaʼelii fi Amaasaan ilmi Yeteer ajajaan loltoota Yihuudaa namoota isa caalaa jajjaboo fi qajeeltota turan.
33 So shall their blood return upon the head of Joab, and upon the head of his seed forever. But to David, and to his seed, and to his house, and to his throne, there shall be peace forever from Jehovah.
Yakki dhiiga isaanii mataa Yooʼaabii fi sanyii isaa irra bara baraan haa jiraatu. Garuu Daawitii fi sanyii isaa irra, mana isaatii fi teessoo isaa irra nagaan Waaqayyoo bara baraan haa jiraatu.”
34 Then Benaiah the son of Jehoiada went up, and fell upon him, and killed him. And he was buried in his own house in the wilderness.
Kanaafuu Benaayaa ilmi Yehooyaadaa achi dhaqee Yooʼaabin ajjeese; innis biyya ofii isaatti gammoojjii keessatti awwaalame.
35 And the king put Benaiah the son of Jehoiada in his room over the army. And the king put Zadok the priest in the place of Abiathar.
Mootichis Benaayaa ilma Yehooyaadaa sana ajajaa loltootaa godhee iddoo Yooʼaab buuse; Zaadoq lubicha immoo iddoo Abiyaataar buuse.
36 And the king sent and called for Shimei, and said to him, Build for thee a house in Jerusalem, and dwell there, and go not forth from there anywhere.
Ergasiis mootichi gara Shimeʼiitti nama ergee akkana jedheen; “Ati Yerusaalem keessatti mana ijaarradhuutii achuma jiraadhu; achii baatee gara tokko illee hin deemin.
37 For on the day thou go out, and pass over the brook Kidron, know thou for certain that thou shall surely die; thy blood shall be upon thine own head.
Gaafa achii baatee Sulula Qeedroon ceetutti akka duutu dhugumaan beeki; dhiigni kees matuma keetti deebiʼa.”
38 And Shimei said to the king, The saying is good. As my lord the king has said, so will thy servant do. And Shimei dwelt in Jerusalem many days.
Shimeʼiinis, “Wanni ati jette gaarii dha. Garbichi kee akkuma gooftaan koo mootichi jedhe sana ni godha” jedhee mootichaaf deebise. Shimeʼiinis bara dheeraa Yerusaalem keessa jiraate.
39 And it came to pass at the end of three years, that two of the servants of Shimei ran away to Achish, son of Maacah, king of Gath. And they told Shimei, saying, Behold, thy servants are in Gath.
Garuu waggoota sadii booddee garboota Saamii keessaa namoonni lama gara Aakiish ilma Maʼakaa mooticha Gaatitti baqatan; Shimeʼiittis, “Garboonni kee Gaati keessa jiru” jedhamee himame.
40 And Shimei arose, and saddled his donkey, and went to Gath to Achish to seek his servants. And Shimei went, and brought his servants from Gath.
Innis waan kana dhageenyaan kaʼee harree isaa irra kooraa kaaʼatee garboota isaa barbaadachuu Aakiish bira Gaati dhaqe. Kanaafuu Shimeʼiin dhaqee Gaatii garboota isaa fidate.
41 And it was told Solomon that Shimei had gone from Jerusalem to Gath, and was come again.
Yommuu akka Shimeʼiin Yerusaalemii baʼee Gaati dhaqee deebiʼe Solomoonitti himametti,
42 And the king sent and called for Shimei, and said to him, Did I not adjure thee by Jehovah, and protest to thee, saying, Know for certain, that on the day thou go out, and walk abroad anywhere, thou shall surely die? And thou said to me, The saying that I have heard is good.
mootichi Shimeʼii waamsisee akkana jedheen; “Ani maqaa Waaqayyootiin si kakachiisee, ‘Ati guyyaa kaatee iddoo biraa dhaquuf baate akka duutu beekkadhu’ jedhee si hin seerree? Atis gaafas, ‘Wanni ati jettu gaarii dha. Ani nan ajajama’ naan jette.
43 Why then have thou not kept the oath of Jehovah, and the commandment that I have charged thee with?
Yoos ati Maaliif kakuu Waaqayyoon kakatte sana eeguu diddee ajaja ani siif kenneefis ajajamuu didde ree?”
44 The king said moreover to Shimei, Thou know all the iniquity which thy heart is privy to, what thou did to David my father. Therefore Jehovah shall return thy iniquity upon thine own head.
Mootichi amma illee Shimeʼiidhaan akkana jedhe; “Ati cubbuu abbaa koo Daawititti hojjette hunda garaa kee keessatti ni beekta. Waaqayyo amma jalʼina kee sana matuma keetti deebisa.
45 But king Solomon shall be blessed, and the throne of David shall be established before Jehovah forever.
Solomoon mootichi garuu ni eebbifama; teessoon Daawitis bara baraan jabaatee fuula Waaqayyoo dura ni jiraata.”
46 So the king commanded Benaiah the son of Jehoiada. And he went out, and fell upon him so that he died. And the kingdom was established in the hand of Solomon.
Mootichis Benaayaa ilma Yehooyaadaa ni ajaje; innis dhaqee Saamii dhaʼee ajjeese. Mootummaanis yeroo kanatti harka Solomoonitti jabaatee dhaabate.
