1 Kings 2
1 And the days of David were at hand that he should die; and he enjoined Solomon his son saying,
Daawit Yeroon duʼa isaa dhiʼaannaan ilma isaa Solomoonin ajaje.
2 I go the way of all the earth: be of good courage therefore, and be 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, as it is written in the law of Moses, that thou mayest prosper in all that thou doest and whithersoever thou turnest 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 confirm 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, said he, a man upon 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 And thou knowest also what Joab the son of Zeruiah did to me, what he did to the two captains of the hosts of Israel, to Abner the son of Ner, and to Amasa the son of Jether, whom he slew, and shed the blood of war in peace, and put the blood of war upon his girdle that was about his loins, and upon his sandals 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 And thou shalt do according to thy wisdom, and 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 shew kindness to the sons of Barzillai the Gileadite, and let them be of those that eat at thy table; for so they came up to me when I fled because of 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 Benjaminite of Bahurim, who cursed me with a grievous curse in the day that 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 And now hold him not guiltless; for thou art a wise man, and thou shalt know what thou oughtest to do to him; but 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 on 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 And Adonijah the son of Haggith came to Bathsheba the mother of Solomon. And she said, Comest thou 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 And he said, I have something to say to thee. And she said, Speak.
itti dabalees, “Ani waanan siin jechuu fedhu tokkon qaba” jedheen. Isheenis, “Mee jedhi” jettee deebifteef.
15 And he said, Thou knowest that the kingdom was mine, and all Israel had set their faces on me that I should reign; but the kingdom is turned about and is 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; refuse me not. And she said to him, Speak.
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 refuse thee — that he give me Abishag the Shunammite as 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 And Bathsheba 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 he 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 desire one small petition of thee; refuse me not. And the king said to her, Ask, my mother, for I will not refuse 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 as 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 dost thou ask Abishag the Shunammite for Adonijah? ask for him the kingdom also; for he is mine 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 And king Solomon swore by Jehovah saying, God do so to me, and more also, — Adonijah has 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 And now [as] Jehovah liveth, who has established me, and set me on the throne of David my father, and who has made me a house, as he promised, 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 the hand of Benaiah the son of Jehoiada; who fell on him, that he died.
Solomoon mootichi Benaayaa ilma Yehooyaadaa ajaje; innis dhaqee Adooniyaa dhaʼee ajjeese.
26 And the king said to Abiathar the priest, Go to Anathoth, to thine own fields; for thou art worthy of death; but I will not at this time put thee to death, because thou didst bear the ark of Adonai Jehovah before David my father, and because thou hast been 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 And Solomon thrust out Abiathar from being priest to Jehovah, to fulfil the word of Jehovah, which he had spoken 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 report came to Joab (for Joab had turned after Adonijah, though he had not turned after Absalom); and Joab fled to the tent of Jehovah, and caught hold of 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 that Joab had fled to the tent of Jehovah; and behold, he is by the altar. And Solomon sent Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, saying, Go, fall on 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 saith the king: Come forth. And he said, No; for 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; and take away the innocent blood, which Joab shed, from me and from the house of my father.
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 shall requite the blood which he shed upon his own head, because he fell upon two men more righteous and better than he, and slew them with the sword, without my father David's knowledge: Abner the son of Ner, captain of the host of Israel, and Amasa the son of Jether, captain of the host 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 And their blood shall be requited upon the head of Joab, and upon the head of his seed for ever; but upon David, and upon his seed, and upon his house, and upon his throne, shall there be peace for ever 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 And Benaiah the son of Jehoiada went up and fell upon him, and put him to death; 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 stead over the host; and Zadok the priest the king put in the stead 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 thee a house in Jerusalem, and abide there, and go not forth thence anywhere.
Ergasiis mootichi gara Shimeʼiitti nama ergee akkana jedheen; “Ati Yerusaalem keessatti mana ijaarradhuutii achuma jiraadhu; achii baatee gara tokko illee hin deemin.
37 And it shall be that on the day thou goest forth, and passest over the torrent of Kidron, ...know for certain that thou shalt 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 servants of Shimei's ran away to Achish son of Maachah, 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 Then Shimei arose, and saddled his ass, 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 had 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 make thee swear by Jehovah, and protest to thee, saying, Know for certain, that on the day thou goest forth, and walkest abroad anywhere, thou shalt surely die? and thou saidst to me, The word 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 hast thou not kept the oath of Jehovah, and the commandment that I charged thee with?
Yoos ati Maaliif kakuu Waaqayyoon kakatte sana eeguu diddee ajaja ani siif kenneefis ajajamuu didde ree?”
44 And the king said to Shimei, Thou knowest all the wickedness of which thy heart is conscious, which thou didst to David my father; and Jehovah returns thy wickedness 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 and king Solomon shall be blessed, and the throne of David shall be established before Jehovah for ever.
Solomoon mootichi garuu ni eebbifama; teessoon Daawitis bara baraan jabaatee fuula Waaqayyoo dura ni jiraata.”
46 And the king commanded Benaiah the son of Jehoiada; who went out and fell upon him, and 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.
