< 2 Samuel 2 >

1 And it came to pass after this that David inquired of Jehovah, saying, Shall I go up into one of the cities of Judah? And Jehovah said to him, Go up. And David said, Whither shall I go up? And he said, Unto Hebron.
Kana booddee Daawit, “Magaalaawwan Yihuudaa keessaa gara isa tokkootti ol baʼuu?” jedhee Waaqayyoon gaafate. Waaqayyos, “Baʼi” jedheen. Daawit immoo, “Gara isa kamiittin ol baʼa?” jedhee gaafate. Waaqayyos, “Gara Kebroonitti” jedhee deebiseef.
2 So David went up thither, and his two wives also, Ahinoam the Jizreelitess, and Abigail the wife of Nabal the Carmelite.
Kanaafuu Daawit niitota isaa lamaan jechuunis Ahiinooʼam Yizriʼeelittii sanaa fi Abiigayiil kan Naabaal namichi Qarmeloos sun irraa duʼe wajjin ol baʼe.
3 And his men that were with him did David bring up, every man with his household; and they dwelt in the cities of Hebron.
Daawit namoota isa wajjin turan tokkoo tokkoo isaanii maatii isaanii wajjin fudhate; isaanis magaalaawwan Kebroon keessa qubatan.
4 And the men of Judah came, and there they anointed David king over the house of Judah. And they told David, saying, It is the men of Jabesh-Gilead that have buried Saul.
Ergasiis namoonni Yihuudaa gara Kebroon dhufanii mana Yihuudaa irratti Daawitin mootii godhanii diban. Yeroo akka namoonni Yaabeesh Giliʼaad Saaʼolin awwaalan Daawititti himametti,
5 And David sent messengers to the men of Jabesh-Gilead, and said to them, Blessed be ye of Jehovah, that ye have shewn this kindness to your lord, to Saul, and have buried him!
inni akkana jedhee gara namoota Yaabeesh Giliʼaaditti ergamoota erge; “Sababii isin isa awwaaluudhaan Saaʼol gooftaa keessaniif arjummaa akkasii gootaniif Waaqayyo isin haa eebbisu.
6 And now Jehovah shew kindness and faithfulness to you; and I also will requite you this good, because ye have done this thing.
Ammas Waaqayyo jaalala isaa kan hin geeddaramnee fi amanamummaa isaa isiniif haa kennu; ani waan isin akkas gootaniif akkasuma waan gaarii isiniif nan godha.
7 And now let your hands be strong, and be ye valiant; for your master Saul is dead, and also the house of Judah have anointed me king over them.
Egaa amma jabaadhaa; cimaa; Saaʼol gooftaan keessan duʼeeraatii; namoonni Yihuudaa immoo mootii godhatanii of irratti na dibaniiru.”
8 And Abner the son of Ner, captain of Saul's host, took Ishbosheth the son of Saul, and brought him over to Mahanaim;
Yeroo sanatti Abneer ilmi Neer ajajaan waraanaa Saaʼol Iish-Booshet ilma Saaʼol fuudhee gara Mahanayiimitti dabarse.
9 and made him king over Gilead, and over the Asshurites, and over Jizreel, and over Ephraim, and over Benjamin, and over all Israel.
Innis Giliʼaad, Ashuur, Yizriʼeel, Efreemii fi Beniyaam, akkasumas guutummaa Israaʼel irratti isa moosise.
10 Ishbosheth Saul's son was forty years old when he began to reign over Israel, and he reigned two years. However, the house of Judah followed David.
Iish-Booshet ilmi Saaʼol yeroo Israaʼel irratti mootii taʼetti umuriin isaa waggaa afurtama ture; innis waggaa lama moʼe. Taʼus manni Yihuudaa Daawit duukaa buʼe.
11 And the time that David was king in Hebron over the house of Judah was seven years and six months.
Daawitis Kebroonitti mana Yihuudaa irratti waggaa torbaa fi jiʼa jaʼa mootii taʼe.
12 And Abner the son of Ner, and the servants of Ishbosheth the son of Saul, went out from Mahanaim to Gibeon.
Abneer ilmi Neer namoota Iish-Booshet ilma Saaʼol sana wajjin Mahanayiimii kaʼanii gara Gibeʼoon dhaqan.
13 And Joab the son of Zeruiah, and the servants of David, went out. And they met together by the pool of Gibeon; and they sat down, these on the one side of the pool, and those on the other side of the pool.
Yooʼaab ilmi Zeruuyaa fi namoonni Daawit isaan simachuuf baʼanii haroo Gibeʼoon biratti itti dhufan. Gareen tokko gama tokkoon, gareen kaan immoo gama kaaniin haroo sana bira tataaʼan.
14 And Abner said to Joab, Let the young men now arise and make sport before us. And Joab said, Let them arise.
Abneeris Yooʼaabiin, “Mee dargaggoonni kaʼanii fuula keenya duratti wal haa tuman” jedhe. Yooʼaabis, “Haa taʼu; wal haa tuman” jedhe.
15 And they arose and went over by number, twelve for Benjamin, and for Ishbosheth the son of Saul, and twelve of the servants of David.
Kanaafuu Beniyaam irraa namoonni kudha lama Iish-Booshet ilma Saaʼoliif, namoonni kudha lama immoo kaʼanii Daawitiif lakkaaʼaman.
16 And they caught every one his fellow by the head, and [thrust] his sword in his fellow's side, and they fell down together. And that place was called Helkath-hazzurim, which is by Gibeon.
Tokkoon tokkoon namaas mormituu isaa mataa qabee cinaacha isaatti goraadee diree wal qabatanii kukkufan. Kanaafuu iddoon sun Gibeʼoon keessatti lafa goraadee jedhamee waamame.
17 And the battle that day was very severe; and Abner and the men of Israel were routed before the servants of David.
Lolli gaafa sanaa akka malee jabaa ture; Abneerii fi namoonni Israaʼelis namoota Daawitiin moʼataman.
18 And there were three sons of Zeruiah there, Joab, and Abishai, and Asahel. Now Asahel was swift of foot, as one of the gazelles that are in the field.
Ilmaan Zeruuyaa sadan jechuunis Yooʼaab, Abiishaayii fi Asaaheel achi turan. Asaaheel akkuma kuruphee bosonaa fiigichatti nama jabaa ture.
19 And Asahel pursued after Abner; and in going he turned not to the right hand nor to the left from behind Abner.
Innis utuu mirgatti yookaan bitaatti hin gorin faana buʼee Abneerin ariʼe.
20 Then Abner looked behind him, and said, Art thou Asahel? And he said, I am.
Abneeris of irra garagalee, “Ati Asaaheelii?” jedhee gaafate. Innis, “Eeyyee anuma” jedhee deebise.
21 And Abner said to him, Turn thee aside, to thy right hand or to thy left, and lay hold of one of the young men, and take for thyself his armour. But Asahel would not turn aside from following him.
Ergasiis Abneer, “Gara mirgaatti yookaan bitaatti garagaliitii dargaggeessa tokko qabii miʼa lolaa isaa irraa fudhadhu” jedheen. Asaaheel garuu isa ariʼuu hin dhiifne.
22 And Abner said again to Asahel, Turn thee aside from following me: why should I smite thee to the ground? how then should I hold up my face to Joab thy brother?
Abneer ammas Asaaheelin, “Na hin ariʼin! Ani maaliifan si galaafadha? Ani akkamittin fuula koo ol fudhadhee obboleessa kee Yooʼaabin ilaala?” jedhe.
23 But he refused to turn aside; therefore Abner with the hinder end of the spear smote him in the belly, so that the spear came out behind him; and he fell down there, and died in the same place. And it came to pass, that as many as came to the place where Asahel fell down and died stood still.
Asaaheel garuu isa ariʼuu hin dhiifne; kanaafuu Abneer qara eeboo isaatiin garaa isaa waraane; eeboon sunis keessa fullaʼee dugda isaatiin baʼe. Asaaheelis achitti kufee yommuu suma duʼe. Namni hundis iddoo Asaaheel itti kufee duʼe sana gaʼee dhaabata ture.
24 And Joab and Abishai pursued after Abner; and the sun went down when they came to the hill of Ammah, which is before Giah on the way to the wilderness of Gibeon.
Yooʼaabii fi Abiishaayi garuu Abneerin ariʼan; isaanis yeroo aduun dhiʼetti gaara Amaa kan karaa gammoojjii Gibeʼoonitti geessu irra Giiyaatti garagalee argamu sana gaʼan.
25 And the children of Benjamin gathered themselves together after Abner, and became one troop, and stood on the top of a hill.
Namoonni Beniyaamis Abneer biratti walitti qabaman. Isaanis gareedhaan walgurmeessanii gaara Amaa gubbaatti hiriiran.
26 And Abner called to Joab, and said, Shall the sword devour for ever? knowest thou not that it will be bitterness in the latter end? and how long shall it be ere thou bid the people return from following their brethren?
Abneeris iyyee Yooʼaabin waamee, “Goraadeen kun bara baraan waa galaafachuu qabaa? Akka dhumni waan kanaa hadhaaʼaa taʼe ati wallaalteetii? Ati hamma yoomiitti akka namoonni kee obboloota isaanii ariʼuu dhiisan itti hin himtu?” jedhe.
27 And Joab said, [As] God liveth, unless thou hadst spoken, surely then in the morning the people had gone up every one from following his brother.
Yooʼaab immoo deebisee, “Dhugaa Waaqa jiraataa, utuu ati waan kana jechuu baattee silaa namoonni hamma lafti bariʼutti obboloota isaanii ariʼuu irraa hin deebiʼan ture” jedhe.
28 And Joab blew the trumpet, and all the people stood still, and pursued after Israel no more, neither did they fight any more.
Kanaafuu Yooʼaab malakata afuufe; namoonni hundis Israaʼeloota ariʼuu dhiisan; lammatas waraanni isaan gidduutti hin kaane.
29 And Abner and his men walked all that night through the plain, and passed over the Jordan, and went through all Bithron, and they came to Mahanaim.
Abneerii fi namoonni isaa halkan sana guutuu Arabbaa keessa yaaʼanii darban. Isaanis Laga Yordaanos ceʼanii guutummaa Biitroon keessa darbanii gara Mahanayiim dhufan.
30 And Joab returned from following Abner, and gathered all the people together; and there lacked of David's servants nineteen men, and Asahel.
Ergasiis Yooʼaab Abneerin ariʼuu dhiisee namoota isaa hunda walitti qabe. Yeroo sanattis akka namoota Daawit keessaa Asaaheelin malee namoonni kudha sagal badan beekame.
31 And the servants of David had smitten of Benjamin, and of Abner's men, three hundred and sixty men, who had died.
Namoonni Daawit garuu namoota Beniyaam keessaa warra Abneer wajjin turan dhibba sadii fi jaatama ajjeesan.
32 And they took up Asahel, and buried him in the sepulchre of his father, which was in Bethlehem. And Joab and his men went all night, and they came to Hebron at break of day.
Isaanis reeffa Asaaheel fudhatanii Beetlihemitti iddoo awwaala abbaa isaatti awwaalan. Yooʼaabii fi namoonni isaa halkan guutuu deemaa bulanii barii obboroo Kebroon gaʼan.
