1 Samuel 11
1 Then Nahash the Ammonite came up and encamped against Jabesh Gilead; and all the men of Jabesh said to Nahash, “Make a covenant with us, and we will serve you.”
Naahaash namichi Amoon sun ol baʼee Yaabeesh Giliʼaadin marse. Namoonni Yaabeesh hundinuus Naaʼaashiin, “Kottu walii galtee godhannaa; nus siif hojjennaa” jedhan.
2 Nahash the Ammonite said to them, “On this condition I will make it with you, that all your right eyes be gouged out. I will make this dishonor all Israel.”
Naahaash namichi Amoon garuu, “Ani kanan isin wajjin walii galtee godhadhu yoo ija mirgaa tokkoo tokkoo keessanii isin keessaa baasee akkasiin Israaʼel hunda salphise qofa” jedhee deebiseef.
3 The elders of Jabesh said to him, “Give us seven days, that we may send messengers to all the borders of Israel; and then, if there is no one to save us, we will come out to you.”
Maanguddoonni Yaabeesh immoo, “Akka nu guutummaa Israaʼel keessa ergamoota ergannuuf guyyaa torba nuuf obsi; yoo namni nu oolchu tokko iyyuu jiraachuu baate nu siif bulla” isaan jedhan.
4 Then the messengers came to Gibeah of Saul, and spoke these words in the ears of the people, then all the people lifted up their voice and wept.
Ergamoonni kunneenis yommuu gara Gibeʼaa iddoo Saaʼol jiraatu dhufanii waan kana namootatti himanitti, namoonni hundi sagalee ol fudhatanii ni booʼan.
5 Behold, Saul came following the oxen out of the field; and Saul said, “What ails the people that they weep?” They told him the words of the men of Jabesh.
Yeroo sanatti Saaʼol sangoota isaa oofaa iddoo qonnaatii gala ture; innis, “Sabni kun maal taʼee booʼa?” jedhee gaafate. Isaanis waan namoonni Yaabeesh jedhan sana isatti himan.
6 God’s Spirit came mightily on Saul when he heard those words, and his anger burned hot.
Yeroo Saaʼol dubbii kana dhagaʼettis Hafuurri Waaqaa humnaan isa irra buʼe; innis aaree bobaʼe.
7 He took a yoke of oxen and cut them in pieces, then sent them throughout all the borders of Israel by the hand of messengers, saying, “Whoever does not come out after Saul and after Samuel, so shall it be done to his oxen.” The dread of the LORD fell on the people, and they came out as one man.
Innis sangoota cimdii tokko fuudhee kukkutee foon isaanii harka ergamootaatti erguudhaan, “Sangoonni nama Saaʼolii fi Saamuʼeelin duukaa hin buune kamii iyyuu akkas taʼu” jedhee guutummaa Israaʼel keessa labse. Sodaachifni Waaqayyoos waan nama hunda qabateef namni hundinuu akkuma nama tokkootti baʼe.
8 He counted them in Bezek; and the children of Israel were three hundred thousand, and the men of Judah thirty thousand.
Saaʼol iddoo Bezeq jedhamutti walitti isaan qabe; baayʼinni Israaʼelootaa kuma dhibba sadii, kan warra Yihuudaa immoo kuma soddoma ture.
9 They said to the messengers who came, “Tell the men of Jabesh Gilead, ‘Tomorrow, by the time the sun is hot, you will be rescued.’” The messengers came and told the men of Jabesh; and they were glad.
Isaanis ergamoota dhufan sanaan, “Namoota Yaabeesh Giliʼaadiin, ‘Bor yeroo aduun hoʼutti bilisa baatu’ jedhaatii itti himaa” jedhaniin. Yommuu ergamoonni sun dhaqanii waan kana isaanitti odeessanitti warri Yaabeesh akka malee gammadan.
10 Therefore the men of Jabesh said, “Tomorrow we will come out to you, and you shall do with us all that seems good to you.”
Isaanis namoota Amooniin, “Nu bor harka keenya isinitti kennanna; isin waan isinitti gaarii fakkaate hunda nu gochuu ni dandeessu” jedhan.
11 On the next day, Saul put the people in three companies; and they came into the middle of the camp in the morning watch, and struck the Ammonites until the heat of the day. Those who remained were scattered, so that no two of them were left together.
Guyyaa itti aanutti Saaʼol namoota isaa garee sadiitti qoode; gara barii halkaniittis dallaa Amoonotaa cabsanii seenuudhaan hamma lafti hoʼutti isaan qalan. Kanneen hafan immoo gargar faffacaʼan; isaan keessaas namni lama iyyuu wal biratti hin hafne.
12 The people said to Samuel, “Who is he who said, ‘Shall Saul reign over us?’ Bring those men, that we may put them to death!”
Ergasiis namoonni Saamuʼeeliin, “Warri, ‘Saaʼol nurratti mootii taʼuu hin qabu’ jedhan eenyu faʼi? Namoota kanneen nuu fidi ni ajjeefnaatii” jedhan.
13 Saul said, “No man shall be put to death today; for today the LORD has rescued Israel.”
Saaʼol garuu, “Guyyaan kun gaafa itti Waaqayyo Israaʼelin baraare waan taʼeef namni tokko iyyuu harʼa hin ajjeefamu” jedhe.
14 Then Samuel said to the people, “Come! Let’s go to Gilgal, and renew the kingdom there.”
Saamuʼeel immoo namootaan, “Kottaa Gilgaal dhaqnee mootii taʼuu isaa achitti mirkaneessinaa” jedhe.
15 All the people went to Gilgal; and there they made Saul king before the LORD in Gilgal. There they offered sacrifices of peace offerings before the LORD; and there Saul and all the men of Israel rejoiced greatly.
Kanaafuu namoonni hundinuu gara Gilgaal dhaqanii Saaʼol mootii taʼuu isaa fuula Waaqayyoo duratti mirkaneessan. Aarsaa nagaas fuula Waaqayyoo duratti dhiʼeessan; Saaʼolii fi sabni Israaʼel hundis guddaa gammadan.
