2 Samuel 1
1 Now after the death of Saul, when David, having come back from the destruction of the Amalekites, had been in Ziklag for two days;
Saaʼol erga duʼee booddee, Daawit Amaaleqoota rukutuu irraa deebiʼee Siiqlaag keessa guyyaa lama ture.
2 On the third day a man came from Saul's tents, with his clothing out of order and earth on his head: and when he came to David, he went down on the earth and gave him honour.
Guyyaa sadaffaatti namichi tokko qubata Saaʼolii dhufe; innis wayyaa isaa tarsaasee mataa isaatti awwaara firfirfatee ture. Yommuu Daawit bira gaʼettis ulfina isaaf kennuuf jedhee addaan lafatti gombifame.
3 And David said to him, Where have you come from? And he said, I have come in flight from the tents of Israel.
Daawitis, “Ati eessaa dhufte?” jedhee isa gaafate. Namichi immoo, “Ani qubata Israaʼelootaa keessaan baqadhee dhufe” jedhe.
4 And David said to him, How did things go? Give me the news. And in answer he said, The people have gone in flight from the fight, and a great number of them are dead; and Saul and his son Jonathan are dead.
Daawitis, “Maaltu dhalate? Mee natti himi” jedhee gaafate. Innis, “Namoonni adda waraanaatii ni baqatan. Baayʼeen isaanii harcaʼaniiru; duʼaniirus. Saaʼolii fi ilmi isaa Yoonaataanis duʼaniiru” jedheen.
5 And David said to the young man who gave him the news, Why are you certain that Saul and his son Jonathan are dead?
Kana irratti Daawit dargaggeessa oduu kana fideen, “Akka Saaʼolii fi ilmi isaa Yoonaataan duʼan ati akkamitti beekte?” jedhe.
6 And the young man said, I came by chance to Mount Gilboa, and I saw Saul supporting himself on his spear; and the war-carriages and horsemen overtook him.
Dargaggeessi sunis akkana jedhee deebise; “Akkuma tasaa ani Tulluu Gilboʼaatti ol baʼeen ture; Saaʼolis eeboo isaatti irkatee achi ture; gaariiwwan lolaatii fi abbootiin fardaa isa bira gaʼan.
7 And looking back, he saw me and gave a cry to me. And answering him I said, Here am I.
Innis yommuu garagalee na argetti na waame; anis, ‘Maal siif ajajamu?’ jedhee isa gaafadhe.
8 And he said to me, Who are you? And I said, I am an Amalekite.
“Innis, ‘Ati eenyu?’ jedhee na gaafate. “Ani immoo, ‘Ani nama Amaaleq’ jedheen deebise.
9 Then he said to me, Come here to my side, and put me to death, for the pain of death has me in its grip but my life is still strong in me.
“Ergasiis inni, ‘Narra dhaabadhuu na ajjeesi! Waan lubbuun na keessaa hin baʼiniif ani akka malee dhiphachaan jiraatii’ naan jedhe.
10 So I put my foot on him and gave him his death-blow, because I was certain that he would not go on living after his fall: and I took the crown from his head and the band from his arm, and I have them here for my lord.
“Kanaafuu ani sababiin akka inni erga kufee hin fayyine beekeef isa irra dhaabadheen isa ajjeese. Gonfoo mataa isaatii fi bitawoo harka isaa fuudhee gooftaa kootiif fideera.”
11 Then David gave way to bitter grief, and so did all the men who were with him:
Daawitii fi namoonni isa wajjin turan hundi wayyaa of irraa baasanii tatarsaasan.
12 And till evening they gave themselves to sorrow and weeping, and took no food, weeping for Saul and for Jonathan, his son, and for the people of the Lord and for the men of Israel; because they had come to their end by the sword.
Isaanis Saaʼolii fi Yoonaataaniif, loltoota Waaqayyootii fi mana Israaʼel hundaaf gaddanii ni booʼan; hamma galgalaatti ni sooman; isaan goraadeedhaan dhumaniiruutii.
13 And David said to the young man who had given him the news, Where do you come from? And he said, I am the son of a man from a strange land; I am an Amalekite.
Daawitis, “Ati eessaa dhufte?” jedhee dargaggeessicha oduu fide sana gaafate. Innis, “Ani ilma Amaaleq, namicha galtuu taʼe tokkoo ti” jedhee deebise.
14 And David said to him, Had you no fear of stretching out your hand to put to death the one marked with the holy oil?
Daawit immoo, “Yoos ati dibamaa Waaqayyoo tokko galaafachuuf harka kee ol fudhachuu maaliif hin sodaatin ree?” jedhee gaafate.
15 And David sent for one of his young men and said, Go near and put an end to him. And he put him to death.
Ergasii Daawit namoota isaa keessaa tokko waamee, “Dhaqiitii dhaʼii isa ajjeesi!” jedhe. Innis isa dhaʼe; namichis ni duʼe.
16 And David said to him, May your blood be on your head; for your mouth has given witness against you, saying, I have put to death the man marked with the holy oil.
Daawitis, “Sababii afaanumti kee, ‘Ani nama Waaqayyo isa dibe ajjeeseera’ jedhee dhugaa sitti baʼeef dhiigni kee matuma keetti deebiʼa” jedheen.
17 Then David made this song of grief for Saul and Jonathan, his son:
Daawit faaruu kanaan Saaʼolii fi ilma Saaʼol Yoonaataaniif booʼe;
18 (It is recorded in the book of Jashar for teaching to the sons of Judah) and he said:
akkasumas faaruu iddaa jedhamu kana akka namoonni Yihuudaa barsiisfaman ajaje; kunis kitaaba Yaashaar keessatti barreeffameera. Innis:
19 The glory, O Israel, is dead on your high places! How have the great ones been made low!
“Yaa Israaʼel, ulfinni kee gaarran kee irratti ajjeefameera. Namoonni jajjaboon akkamitti akkas kukkufan!
20 Give no news of it in Gath, let it not be said in the streets of Ashkelon; or the daughters of the Philistines will be glad, the daughters of men without circumcision will be uplifted in joy.
“Waan kana Gaati keessatti hin dubbatinaa; daandiiwwan Ashqaloon irrattis hin labsinaa; yoo kanaa achii intallan Filisxeemotaa ni gammadu; intallan warra dhagna hin qabatiniis ni ililchu.
21 O mountains of Gilboa, let there be no dew or rain on you, you fields of death: for there the arms of the strong have been shamed, the arms of Saul, as if he had not been marked with the holy oil.
“Yaa tulluuwwan Gilboʼaa, fixeensi isin irra hin buʼin yookaan bokkaan isinitti hin roobin; yookaan lafti qotiisaa midhaan aarsaaf dhiʼeeffamu biqilchu isin keessatti hin argamin. Gaachanni nama jabaa achitti xuraaʼeeraatii; gaachanni Saaʼol siʼachi zayitii hin dibamu.
22 From the blood of the dead, from the fat of the strong, the bow of Jonathan was not turned back, the sword of Saul did not come back unused.
“Dhiiga namoota dhumanii keessaa, foon namoota jajjaboo irraa, iddaan Yoonaataan duubatti hin deebine; goraadeen Saaʼolis akkasumaan hin deebine.
23 Saul and Jonathan were loved and pleasing; in their lives and in their death they were not parted; they went more quickly than eagles, they were stronger than lions.
Saaʼolii fi Yoonaataan yeroo lubbuun jiraachaa turanitti, jaallatamoo namni isaanitti gammadu turan; isaan yeroo duʼaattis gargari hin baane. Isaan risaa caalaa ariifatu, leenca caalaas jabaatu turan.
24 O daughters of Israel, have sorrow for Saul, by whom you were delicately clothed in robes of red, with ornaments of gold on your dresses.
“Yaa intallan Israaʼel, Saaʼol isa wayyaa bildiimaa fi uffata haphii isinitti uffise, kan wayyaa keessan warqeedhaan miidhagse, sanaaf booʼaa.
25 How have the great ones been made low in the fight! Jonathan is dead on your high places.
“Namoonni jajjaboon akkamitti waraana keessatti kufu! Yoonaataan gaarran keessan irratti ajjeefameera.
26 I am full of grief for you, my brother Jonathan: very dear have you been to me: your love for me was a wonder, greater than the love of women.
Yaa Yoonaataan obboleessa ko, ani siif gaddeera; ati anaaf nama akka malee jaallatamaa turte. Jaalalli ati naaf qabdu dinqisiisaa ture; jaalala dubartii caalaa dinqisiisaa ture.
27 How have the great ones been made low, and the arms of war broken!
“Namoonni jajjaboon akkamitti kufan! Miʼoonni lolaa balleeffamaniiru!”
