< 1 Samuel 25 >

1 And Samuel died. And all Israel gathered themselves together, and lamented him, and buried him in his house at Ramah. And David arose, and went down to the wilderness of Paran.
Saamuʼeel ni duʼe; sabni Israaʼel hundi wal gaʼee isaaf booʼe; mana isaa kan Raamaa jirutti isa awwaalan. Kana irratti Daawit achii kaʼee gara Gammoojjii Phaaraanitti gad buʼe.
2 And there was a man in Maon whose possessions were in Carmel. And the man was very great in goods, and he had three thousand sheep, and a thousand goats. And he was shearing his sheep in Carmel.
Namni Maaʼoon kan Qarmeloos keessaa qabeenya qabu tokko akka malee sooressa ture. Innis reʼoota kuma tokkoo fi hoolota kuma sadii kanneen Qarmeloositti rifeensa irraa haadatu qaba ture.
3 Now the name of the man was Nabal, and the name of his wife Abigail. And the woman was of good understanding, and of a beautiful countenance, but the man was churlish and evil in his doings, and he was of the house of Caleb.
Maqaan isaa Naabaal, kan niitii isaa immoo Abiigayiilii dha. Isheen dubartii beektuu fi bareedduu turte; dhirsi ishee garuu addaggee fi hamaa ture; gosti isaas gosa Kaaleb.
4 And David heard in the wilderness that Nabal was shearing his sheep.
Daawit akka Naabaal Gammoojjii keessatti hoolota isaa irraa rifeensa haaddachaa jiruu ni dhagaʼe.
5 And David sent ten young men, and David said to the young men, Get you up to Carmel, and go to Nabal, and greet him in my name.
Kanaafuu akkana jedhee dargaggoota kudhan erge; “Naabaal bira gara Qarmeloos dhaqaatii maqaa kootiin nagaa isa gaafadhaa.
6 And thus ye shall say to him who lives in prosperity, Peace be to thee, and peace be to thy house, and peace be to all that thou have.
Akkanas jedhaanii: ‘Bara dheeraa jiraadhu! Nagaan siif haa taʼu; nagaan maatii keetiifis haa taʼu! Waan ati qabdu hundaafis haa taʼu!
7 And now I have heard that thou have shearers. Thy shepherds have now been with us, and we did them no hurt, neither was there anything missing to them all the while they were in Carmel.
“‘Ani amma akka yeroon kun yeroo itti hoolota irraa rifeensa haadan taʼe dhagaʼeera. Yeroo tiksoonni kee nu wajjin turanitti nu isaan hin miine; yeroo isaan Qarmeloos keessa turan guutuus wanni isaan qaban tokko iyyuu jalaa hin badne.
8 Ask thy young men, and they will tell thee. Therefore let the young men find favor in thine eyes, for we come in a good day. Give, I pray thee, whatever comes to thy hand to thy servants, and to thy son David.
Hojjettoota kee gaafadhu; isaan sitti himuutii. Kanaafuu waan nu yeroo gaarii dhufneef dargaggoota kootiif arjoomi. Maaloo tajaajiltoota keetii fi ilma kee Daawitiif waanuma amma harkaa qabdu kenni.’”
9 And when David's young men came, they spoke to Nabal according to all those words in the name of David, and ceased.
Namoonni Daawitis yeroo achi gaʼanitti maqaa Daawitiin dhaamsa kana Naabaalitti himanii deebii isaa eeggatan.
10 And Nabal answered David's servants, and said, Who is David? And who is the son of Jesse? There are many servants now-a-days who break away every man from his master.
Naabaalis tajaajiltoota Daawitiif akkana jedhee deebise; “Daawit kun eenyu? Ilmi Isseey kun eenyu? Yeroo ammaa tajaajiltoonni hedduun gooftota isaanii jalaa badaa jiru.
11 Shall I then take my bread, and my water, and my flesh that I have killed for my shearers, and give it to men of whom I know not from where they are?
Egaa ani maaliifan buddeena koo, bishaan koo fi foon namoota hoolota koo irraa rifeensa haadaniif qale namoota eessaa akka dhufan hin beekamneef kenna?”
12 So David's young men turned on their way, and went back, and came and told him according to all these words.
Namoonni Daawitis of irra garagalanii deebiʼan. Yeroo deebiʼanittis waan hunda isatti himan.
13 And David said to his men, Gird ye on every man his sword. And they girded on every man his sword, and David also girded on his sword. And there went up after David about four hundred men, and two hundred abode by the baggage.
Daawitis namoota isaatiin, “Goraadee keessan hidhadhaa!” jedhe. Kanaafuu isaan goraadee isaanii hidhatan; Daawitis goraadee isaa hidhate. Namoonni gara dhibba afur taʼan Daawit wajjin deeman; namoonni dhibbi lama immoo miʼa biratti hafan.
14 But one of the young men told Abigail, Nabal's wife, saying, Behold, David sent messengers out of the wilderness to salute our master, and he railed at them.
Tajaajiltoota keessaa inni tokko akkana jedhee Abiigayiil niitii Naabaalitti hime: “Daawit akka isaan gooftaa keenyaaf nagaa dhiʼeessaniif gammoojjiidhaa ergamoota ergee ture; inni garuu akka malee isaan arrabse.
15 But the men were very good to us, and we were not hurt, neither did we miss anything as long as we went with them when we were in the fields.
Taʼus namoonni kunneen nuuf baayʼee gaarii turan. Isaan nu hin miine; yeroo isaan wajjin bosona turre hundas wanti tokko iyyuu nu jalaa hin badne.
16 They were a wall to us both by night and by day all the while we were with them keeping the sheep.
Yeroo nu hoolota keenya isaan bira tiksaa turre hunda isaan halkanii fi guyyaa dallaa nuu taʼanii turan.
17 Now therefore know and consider what thou will do, for evil is determined against our master, and against all his house. For he is such a worthless fellow that a man cannot speak to him.
Sababii gooftaa keenyaa fi guutummaa mana isaa balaan marseef ati amma waan gochuu dandeessu yaadi. Sababii inni nama hamaa akkanaa taʼeef namni tokko iyyuu isatti dubbachuu hin dandaʼu.”
18 Then Abigail made haste, and took two hundred loaves, and two bottles of wine, and five sheep ready dressed, and five measures of parched grain, and a hundred clusters of raisins, and two hundred cakes of figs, and laid them on donkeys.
Abiigayiil yeroo hin balleessine. Isheen buddeena dhibba lama, daadhii wayinii qalqalloo lama; hoolota qalmaaf qopheeffaman shan, akaayii safartuu shan, maxinoo ija wayinii dhibba tokkoo fi maxinoo ija harbuu dhibba lama fudhattee harreetti feʼatte.
19 And she said to her young men, Go on before me, behold, I come after you. But she did not tell her husband Nabal.
Ergasii tajaajiltoota isheetiin, “Na dursaatii deemaa; ani isinan qaqqaba” jette. Garuu dhirsa ishee Naabaalitti hin himne.
20 And it was so, as she rode on her donkey, and came down by the covert of the mountain, that, behold, David and his men came down toward her, and she met them.
Utuma isheen harree yaabbattee tulluudhaan daʼattee gad buʼaa jirtuu Daawitii fi namoonni isaa isheetti dhufan; isheenis isaan simatte.
21 Now David had said, Surely in vain have I kept all that this fellow has in the wilderness so that nothing was missed of all that pertained to him, and he has returned me evil for good.
Daawit akkana jedhee ture; “Ani akka wanni inni qabu tokko illee jalaa hin badneef gammoojjiitti qabeenya namicha kanaa eeguun koo gatii dhabeera. Inni waan gaarii ani isaaf godheef waan hamaa naaf deebiseera.
22 God do so to the enemies of David, and more also, if I leave of all that pertains to him by the morning light so much as one man-child.
Yoo ani bori ganama waan kan isaa taʼe keessaa dhiira tokko illee lubbuun hambise, Waaqni Daawitin haa adabu; adabbiin sunis akka malee haa cimu!”
23 And when Abigail saw David, she hastened, and alighted from her donkey, and fell before David on her face, and bowed herself to the ground.
Abiigayiil yeroo Daawitin argitetti daftee harree ishee irraa buutee adda isheetiin fuula Daawit duratti lafatti gombifamtee sagadde.
24 And she fell at his feet, and said, Upon me, my lord, upon me be the iniquity, and let thy handmaid, I pray thee, speak in thine ears, and hear thou the words of thy handmaid.
Isheenis miilla isaa irratti kuftee akkana jette: “Yaa gooftaa ko, balleessaan hundi ana qofa irra haa jiraatu. Maaloo akka garbittiin kee sitti dubbattu eeyyamiif; waan garbittiin kee dubbachuu barbaaddus dhagaʼi.
25 Let not my lord, I pray thee, regard this worthless fellow, even Nabal, for as his name is, so is he. Nabal is his name, and folly is with him. But I thy handmaid saw not the young men of my lord whom thou sent.
Gooftaan koo waaʼee namicha hamaa sanaa waaʼee Naabaal homaattuu hin hedin. Inni akkuma maqaa isaa ti; hiikkaan maqaa isaas gowwaa jechuu dha. Gowwummaanis isa wajjin jira. Ani garbittiin kee garuu namoota gooftaan koo erge sana hin argine.
26 Now therefore, my lord, as Jehovah lives, and as thy soul lives, since Jehovah has withheld thee from blood guiltiness, and from avenging thyself with thine own hand, now therefore let thine enemies, and those who seek evil to my lord, be as Nabal.
Akka ati dhiiga hin dhangalaafnee fi akka harka keetiin haaloo hin baafne Waaqayyo si eegeera; dhugaa Waaqayyo jiraataa; duʼa kee ti; diinonni keetii fi warri gooftaa koo miidhuu barbaadan hundi akkuma Naabaal haa taʼan.
27 And now this present which thy servant has brought to my lord, let it be given to the young men who follow my lord.
Kennaan garbittiin kee gooftaa kootiif fidde kunis namoota si duukaa buʼaniif haa kennamu.
28 Forgive, I pray thee, the trespass of thy handmaid. For Jehovah will certainly make my lord a sure house, because my lord fights the battles of Jehovah, and evil shall not be found in thee all thy days.
“Waan gooftaan koo lola Waaqayyoo loluuf Waaqayyo gooftaa kootiif dhugumaan mootummaa bara baraa ni dhaabaatii. Maaloo balleessaa garbittii keetii dhiisiif. Bara jireenya keetii keessas yakki tokko iyyuu sirratti hin argamin.
29 And though men be risen up to pursue thee, and to seek thy soul, yet the soul of my lord shall be bound in the bundle of life with Jehovah thy God. And the souls of thine enemies, them he shall sling out as from the hollow of a sling.
Eenyu iyyuu lubbuu kee balleessuuf jedhee si ariʼu illee, lubbuun gooftaa koo waldaa jiraattotaa keessatti Waaqayyo Waaqa keetiin ni eegamti. Inni garuu akkuma waan wiirtuu furrisa keessaa furrifamuutti lubbuu diina keetii furrisee ni darbata.
30 And it shall come to pass, when Jehovah shall have done to my lord according to all the good that he has spoken concerning thee, and shall have appointed thee prince over Israel,
Yeroo Waaqayyo akkuma gooftaa kootiif waadaa gale sanatti waan gaarii hunda godheefii Israaʼel irratti hoogganaa godhee isa muudutti,
31 that this shall be no grief to thee, nor offense of heart to my lord, either that thou have shed blood without cause, or that my lord has avenged himself. And when Jehovah shall have dealt well with my lord, then remember thy handmaid.
gooftaan koo sababii yakka malee dhiiga dhangalaasuutiin yookaan sababii haaloo baafachuutiin waan isa gaabbisiisu yookaan waan qalbii isaa tuqu tokko illee hin qabaatin. Yeroo Waaqayyo Waaqni kee gooftaa kootiif waan gaarii godhutti garbittii kee yaadadhu.”
32 And David said to Abigail, Blessed be Jehovah, the God of Israel, who sent thee this day to meet me,
Daawitis Abiigayiiliin akkana jedhe; “Waaqayyo Waaqni Israaʼel inni akka ati harʼa na argituuf natti si erge haa eebbifamu.
33 and blessed be thy discretion, and blessed be thou, who have kept me this day from blood guiltiness, and from avenging myself with my own hand.
Ati sababii harʼa gorsa gaarii naa kennitee dhiiga dhangalaasuu fi harkuma kootiin haaloo baafachuu irraa na deebifteef eebbifami.
34 For in very deed, as Jehovah, the God of Israel, lives, who has withheld me from hurting thee, unless thou had hastened and come to meet me, surely there had not been left to Nabal by the morning light so much as one man-child.
Dhugaa Waaqayyo Waaqa Israaʼel kan isin miidhuu na dhowwe jiraataa sanaa, utuu ati daftee na arguuf dhufuu baattee silaa ilmaan Naabaal keessaa dhiirri tokko iyyuu hamma lafti bariitutti hin hambifamu ture.”
35 So David received from her hand that which she had brought him. And he said to her, Go up in peace to thy house. See, I have hearkened to thy voice, and have accepted thy person.
Daawitis ergasii waan isheen isaaf fidde sana harka ishee irraa fuudhatee, “Nagaan gali. Ani waan ati jette dhagaʼeera; gaaffii kees fudhadheera” jedhe.
36 And Abigail came to Nabal, and, behold, he held a feast in his house like the feast of a king. And Nabal's heart was merry within him, for he was very drunk. Therefore she told him nothing, less or more, until the morning light.
Yeroo Abiigayiil gara Naabaal dhaqxetti, inni mana isaatti cidha akkuma cidha mootii tokkoo qopheessee ture. Innis gammachuudhaan guutamee akka malee machaaʼee ture. Kanaafuu isheen hamma lafti bariitutti waan tokko illee isatti hin himne.
37 And it came to pass in the morning, when the wine was gone out of Nabal, that his wife told him these things, and his heart died within him, and he became as a stone.
Ganama sanas yeroo machiin Naabaal irraa galetti niitiin isaa waan kana hunda itti himte; onneen isaas ni dhaabatte; innis akkuma dhagaa taʼe.
38 And it came to pass about ten days after, that Jehovah smote Nabal, so that he died.
Bultii kudhan booddee Waaqayyo Naabaalin dhaʼe; innis ni duʼe.
39 And when David heard that Nabal was dead, he said, Blessed be Jehovah, who has pleaded the cause of my reproach from the hand of Nabal, and has kept back his servant from evil, and the evil-doing of Nabal Jehovah has returned upon his own head. And David sent and spoke concerning Abigail, to take her to him to wife.
Daawitis yeroo akka Naabaal duʼe dhagaʼetti, “Waaqayyo isa arrabsoo Naabaal haaloo naaf baaseef galanni haa gaʼu. Inni garbicha isaa yakka hojjechuu dhowwee yakka Naabaal matuma isaatti deebiseeraatii” jedhe. Daawitis akka isheen niitii isaaf taatu gaafachuuf Abiigayiilitti ergaa erge.
40 And when the servants of David came to Abigail to Carmel, they spoke to her, saying, David has sent us to thee, to take thee to him to wife.
Tajaajiltoonni isaas Qarmeloos dhaqanii Abiigayiiliin, “Daawit akka ati isaaf niitii taatuuf akka nu isatti si geessinuuf sitti nu erge” jedhan.
41 And she arose, and bowed herself with her face to the earth, and said, Behold, thy handmaid is a servant to wash the feet of the servants of my lord.
Isheenis adda isheetiin lafatti gombifamtee, “Garbittiin kee kunoo ti; ani si tajaajiluu fi miilla tajaajiltoota gooftaa koo dhiquuf qophaaʼeera” jette.
42 And Abigail hastened, and arose, and rode upon a donkey, with five of her damsels who followed her. And she went after the messengers of David, and became his wife.
Abiigayiilis daftee harree yaabbattee tajaajiltoota ishee dubara shan qabattee ergamoota Daawit wajjin deebitee dhaqxee Daawitiif niitii taate.
43 David also took Ahinoam of Jezreel, and they became his wives, both of them.
Akkasumas Daawit biyya Yizriʼeel keessaa Ahiinooʼamin fuudhe; lamaan isaanii iyyuu niitota taʼaniif.
44 Now Saul had given Michal his daughter, David's wife, to Palti the son of Laish, who was of Gallim.
Saaʼol garuu Miikaal intala isaa kan niitii Daawit turte sana Phaltiiʼeel ilma Laayish kan lammii Galiim ture sanatti heerumsiise.
