1 Samuel 14
1 Then on a day Ionathan the sonne of Saul sayde vnto the yong man that bare his armour, Come and let vs goe ouer towarde the Philistims garison, that is yonder on the other side, but he tolde not his father.
Gaafa tokko Yoonaataan ilmi Saaʼol dargaggeessa miʼa lolaa isaaf baatuun, “Kottu gara qubata Filisxeemotaa kan gama kaaniin jiru sanaatti ceenaa” jedhe. Inni garuu abbaa isaatti hin himne.
2 And Saul taried in the border of Gibeah vnder a pomegranate tree, which was in Migron, and the people that were with him, were about sixe hundreth men.
Saaʼolis Migroon keessa daarii Gibeʼaa muka Roomaanii jala taaʼaa ture. Namoonni isa wajjin turanis gara dhibba jaʼaa ti;
3 And Ahiah the sonne of Ahitub, Ichabods brother, the sonne of Phinehas, the sonne of Eli, was the Lordes Priest in Shiloh, and ware an Ephod: and the people knewe not that Ionathan was gone.
Ahiiyaan inni dirata uffatus isaan keessaa tokko ture. Innis ilma Ahiixuub obboleessa Iikaabood, ilma Fiinehaas ilma Eelii kan Shiiloo keessatti luba Waaqayyoo ture sanaa ti. Akka Yoonaataan deemes namni tokko iyyuu quba hin qabu ture.
4 Nowe in the way whereby Ionathan sought to go ouer to the Philistims garison, there was a sharpe rocke on the one side, and a sharpe rocke on the other side: the name of the one was called Bozez, and the name of the other Seneh.
Malkaan ittiin Yoonaataan gara qubata waraana Filisxeemotaatti ceʼuu barbaade sun bitaa fi mirgaan kattaawwan qara qaban lama qaba ture; inni tokko Bozeezi, kaan immoo Seenee jedhama.
5 The one rocke stretched from the North towarde Michmash, and the other was from the South toward Gibeah.
Kattaan tokko karaa kaabaa fuullee Mikmaasiin, kaan immoo karaa kibbaa fuullee Gibeʼaa dhaabata ture.
6 And Ionathan saide to the yong man that bare his armour, Come, and let vs goe ouer vnto the garison of these vncircumcised: it may be that the Lord will worke with vs: for it is not hard to the Lord to saue with many, or with fewe.
Yoonaataanis dargaggeessa miʼa lolaa isaaf baatuun, “Kottu gara qubata warra dhagna hin qabatin sanaatti ceenaa. Maaltu beeka Waaqayyo nu gargaara taʼaatii. Baayʼeedhaanis taʼu xinnoodhaan wanni fayyisuu irraa Waaqayyoon dhowwu tokko iyyuu hin jiru” jedhe.
7 And he that bare his armour, saide vnto him, Doe all that is in thine heart: goe where it pleaseth thee: beholde, I am with thee as thine heart desireth.
Dargaggeessichi miʼa lolaa isaaf baatu sunis, “Waan qalbiitti yaadde hunda godhi; duubattis hin deebiʼin; anis akkuma yaada keetiitti si wajjinan jira” jedhe.
8 Then said Ionathan, Beholde, we goe ouer vnto those men, and will shewe our selues vnto them.
Yoonaataanis akkana jedhe; “Egaa kottu gara isaaniitti ceenaa; isaan nu hin argan.
9 If they say on this wise to vs, Tarie vntill we come to you, then we will stand still in our place, and not goe vp to them.
Yoo isaan, ‘Hamma nu gara keessan dhufnuttu nu eegaa’ jedhan, asumatti isaan eegna; garuu isaanitti ol hin baanu.
10 But if they say, Come vp vnto vs, then we will goe vp: for the Lord hath deliuered them into our hande: and this shall be a signe vnto vs.
Yoo isaan, ‘Gara keenyatti ol kottaa’ jedhan garuu kun akka Waaqayyo dabarsee harka keenyatti isaan kenne mallattoo waan nuu taʼuuf itti ol baana.”
11 So they both shewed themselues vnto the garison of the Philistims: and the Philistims said, See, the Ebrewes come out of the holes wherein they had hid themselues.
Lamaan isaanii iyyuu qubata loltoota Filisxeemotaatti of argisiisan. Filisxeemonnis, “Kunoo! Ibroonni boolla itti dhokatan keessaa baʼaa jiru” jedhan.
12 And the men of the garison answered Ionathan, and his armour bearer, and said, Come vp to vs: for we will shewe you a thing. Then Ionathan said vnto his armour bearer, Come vp after me: for the Lord hath deliuered them into the hand of Israel.
Namoonni qubata Filisxeemotaa keessa jiranis, “Ol kottaa; waan tokko isinitti argisiisnaa!” jedhanii Yoonaataanii fi dargaggeessa miʼa lolaa isaaf baatu sanatti iyyan. Kanaaf Yoonaataan dargaggeessa miʼa lolaa isaaf baatuun, “Waaqayyo harka Israaʼelootaatti dabarsee isaan kenneeraatii na faana kottu” jedhe.
13 So Ionathan went vp vpon his hands and vpon his feete, and his armour bearer after him: and some fell before Ionathan, and his armour bearer slewe others after him.
Yoonaataan harkaa fi miilla isaatiin daaʼimee ol baʼe; dargaggeessi miʼa lolaa isaaf baatus isa faana ol baʼe. Filisxeemonnis harka Yoonaataaniitiin barbadeeffaman; dargaggeessichi Yoonaataan wajjin tures isa duukaa buʼee isaan fixe.
14 So the first slaughter which Ionathan and his armour bearer made, was about twentie men, as it were within halfe an acre of land which two oxen plowe.
Yoonaataanii fi namichi miʼa lolaa isaaf baatu sun rukuttaa jalqabaa sana keessatti lafa qotiyyoo cimdii tokko oolchuu irratti Filisxeemota gara digdamaa taʼan ajjeesan.
15 And there was a feare in the hoste, and in the field, and among all the people: the garison also, and they that went out to spoyle, were afraid themselues: and the earth trembled: for it was striken with feare by God.
Qubata keessatti, lafa qotiisaa keessattii fi saba gidduutti naasuutu taʼe; loltoonni qubata keessa turanii fi warri balaa buusan ni hollatan; laftis ni raafamte. Naasuun sunis naasuu Waaqa biraa ergame ture.
16 Then the watchmen of Saul in Gibeah of Beniamin sawe: and beholde, the multitude was discomfited, and smitten as they went.
Yeroo sana waardiyyoonni Saaʼol kanneen biyya Beniyaam keessa Gibeʼaa turan utuu loltoonni sun karaa hundaan bittinnaaʼanii ni argan.
17 Therefore saide Saul vnto the people that were with him, Search nowe and see, who is gone from vs. And when they had nombred, beholde, Ionathan and his armour bearer were not there.
Saaʼol namoota isa wajjin turaniin, “Mee loltoota lakkaaʼaatii nama nu keessaa deeme ilaalaa” jedhe. Yommuu lakkaaʼanittis Yoonaataanii fi namichi miʼa lolaa isaaf baatu sun achi hin turre.
18 And Saul said vnto Ahiah, Bring hither the Arke of God (for the Arke of God was at that time with the children of Israel)
Saaʼolis Ahiiyaadhaan, “Mee taabota Waaqaa as fidi” jedhe. Yeroo sana taabonni sun Israaʼeloota harka ture.
19 And while Saul talked vnto the Priest, the noyse that was in the hoste of the Philistims, spred farther abroade, and encreased: therefore Saul said vnto the Priest, Withdraw thine hand.
Utuu Saaʼol lubatti dubbachaa jiruu qubata Filisxeemotaa keessatti wacni guddachaa dhufe. Kanaafuu Saaʼol lubichaan, “Harka kee gad deebifadhu” jedhe.
20 And Saul was assembled with all the people that were with him, and they came to the battell: and behold, euery mans sworde was against his fellow, and there was a very great discomfiture.
Saaʼolii fi namoonni isaa wal gaʼanii gara waraanaa deeman. Isaanis utuu Filisxeemonni burjaajaʼanii goraadee ofii isaaniitiin wal cicciranuu argan.
21 Moreouer, the Ebrewes that were with the Philistims beforetime, and were come with them into all partes of the hoste, euen they also turned to be with the Israelites that were with Saul and Ionathan.
Ibroonni duraan Filisxeemota wajjin turanii fi isaan wajjin gara qubata isaaniitti ol baʼan sun gara Israaʼeloota warra Saaʼolii fi Yoonaataan wajjin turaniitti deebiʼan.
22 Also all the men of Israel which had hid themselues in mount Ephraim, when they heard, that the Philistims were fled, they followed after them in the battell.
Israaʼeloonni biyya gaaraa Efreem keessatti dhokatanii turan yommuu akka Filisxeemonni baqachaa jiran dhagaʼanitti, lolatti makamanii isaan ariʼan.
23 And so the Lord saued Israel that day: and the battell continued vnto Beth-auen.
Gaafas Waaqayyo Israaʼelin ni baraare; lolli sunis Beet Aawwen darbee itti fufe.
24 And at that time the men of Israel were pressed with hunger: for Saul charged the people with an othe, saying, Cursed be the man that eateth foode till night, that I may be auenged of mine enemies: so none of the people tasted any sustenance.
Saaʼol, “Hamma galgalaatti, hamma ani diinota koo haaloo baafadhutti namni waa nyaatu kam iyyuu abaaramaa haa taʼu!” jedhee waan saba kakachiisee tureef gaafas namoonni Israaʼel akka malee dhiphatanii turan. Kanaafuu loltoota keessaa namni tokko iyyuu waa afaaniin hin qabne.
25 And all they of the land came to a wood, where hony lay vpon the ground.
Hoomaan waraanaa hundi bosona seene; dammis lafa ture.
26 And the people came into the wood, and beholde, the hony dropped, and no man mooued his hand to his mouth: for the people feared the othe.
Isaanis yeroo bosona seenanitti damma yaaʼu argan; taʼus isaan waan kakaa sana sodaataniif namni tokko iyyuu harka isaa afaanitti hin geeffanne.
27 But Ionathan heard not when his father charged the people with the othe: wherefore he put foorth the ende of the rod that was in his hand, and dipt it in an hony combe, and put his hand to his mouth, and his eyes receiued sight.
Yoonaataan garuu akka abbaan isaa namoota kakaadhaan qabe hin dhageenye ture; kanaafuu inni fiixee ulee qabatee ture sanaatiin dhaaba dammaa waraanee afaaniin muuxate; iji isaas ni ifeef.
28 Then answered one of the people, and said, Thy father made the people to sweare, saying, Cursed be the man that eateth sustenance this day: and the people were faint.
Ergasiis loltoota keessaa tokko, “Abbaan kee, ‘Namni harʼa waa nyaatu kam iyyuu abaaramaa haa taʼu!’ jedhee cimsee hoomaa waraanaa kakaadhaan qabeera; namoonnis kanaaf gaggaban” jedhee isatti hime.
29 Then said Ionathan, My father hath troubled the land: see nowe howe mine eyes are made cleare, because I haue tasted a litle of this honie:
Yoonaataan immoo akkana jedhe; “Abbaan koo biyyatti rakkina uumeera. Yommuu ani damma kana irraa xinnoo afaaniin qabetti iji koo akkamitti akka naaf ifee baname mee ilaalaa.
30 Howe much more, if the people had eaten to day of the spoyle of their enemies which they found? for had there not bene nowe a greater slaughter among the Philistims?
Namoonni utuu boojuu diinota isaanii irraa fudhatan keessaa waa nyaatanii akkam gaarii ture. Silaa Filisxeemonni ajjeefaman kana caalaa baayʼatu ture mitii?”
31 And they smote the Philistims that day, from Michmash to Aiialon: and the people were exceeding faint.
Israaʼeloonni gaafa sana erga Mikmaasii hamma Ayaaloonitti Filisxeemota dhaʼanii booddee akka malee dadhabanii turan.
32 So the people turned to the spoile, and tooke sheepe, and oxen, and calues, and slewe them on the ground, and the people did eate them with the blood.
Isaanis itti gaggabanii waan boojiʼan irratti lafa dhaʼanii hoolota, sangootaa fi jabboota lafatti qalatan; dhiiguma wajjinis nyaatan.
33 Then men tolde Saul, saying, Beholde, the people sinne against the Lord, in that they eate with the blood. And he saide, Ye haue trespassed: roule a great stone vnto me this day.
Isaan keessaas namichi tokko, “Kunoo namoonni foon dhiiga wajjin nyaachuudhaan Waaqayyotti cubbuu hojjechaa jiru” jedhee Saaʼolitti hime. Innis, “Isin seera cabsitaniirtu! Dhagaa guddaa isaa gangalchaatii as naa fidaa” jedhe.
34 Againe Saul said, Goe abroade among the people, and bid them bring me euery man his oxe, and euery man his sheepe, and slay them here, and eate and sinne not against the Lord in eating with the blood. And ye people brought euery man his oxe in his hand that night, and slew them there.
Ergasiis, “Isin namoota gidduu faffacaʼaatii, ‘Tokkoon tokkoon keessan sangaa fi hoolaa keessan fidaatii qalaa nyaadhaa; isin foon dhiiga isaa wajjin nyaachuudhaan Waaqayyotti cubbuu hin hojjetinaa’ isaaniin jedhaa” jedhe. Kanaafuu namni hundi halkan gaafasii sangaa isaa fidee achitti qale.
35 Then Saul made an altar vnto the Lord, and that was the first altar that he made vnto the Lord.
Saaʼolis iddoo aarsaa Waaqayyoof ijaare; waan kanas yeroo jalqabaatiif godhe.
36 And Saul saide, Let vs goe downe after the Philistims by night, and spoyle them vntill the morning shine, and let vs not leaue a man of them. And they saide, Doe whatsoeuer thou thinkest best. Then saide the Priest, Let vs drawe neere hither vnto God.
Saaʼol, “Kottaa Filisxeemota duukaa buunee hamma lafti bariʼutti isaan saamnaa; nama tokko illee lubbuun hin hambifnu” jedhe. Isaanis, “Waan gaarii sitti fakkaate hunda godhi” jedhanii deebisan. Lubichi garuu, “Asumatti Waaqa gaafanna” jedhe.
37 So Saul asked of God, saying, Shall I goe downe after ye Philistims? wilt thou deliuer them into the hands of Israel? But he answered him not at that time.
Saaʼolis, “Ani Filisxeemota duukaa buʼuu? Ati dabarsitee harka Israaʼelitti isaan ni kennitaa?” jedhee Waaqa gaafate. Waaqni garuu gaafa sana deebii hin kennineef.
38 And Saul said, All ye chiefe of the people, come ye hither, and knowe, and see by whom this sinne is done this day.
Kanaafuu Saaʼol akkana jedhe; “Hooggantoonni loltootaa hundi as kottaa; cubbuu harʼa hojjetame ifatti baafnaa.
39 For as the Lord liueth, which saueth Israel, though it be done by Ionathan my sonne, he shall dye the death. But none of all the people answered him.
Dhugaa Waaqayyo jiraataa isa Israaʼelin baraaru sanaa, yoo namni cubbuu kana hojjete ilma koo Yoonaataan illee taʼe inni duʼuu qaba.” Garuu isaan keessaa namni tokko iyyuu deebii isaaf hin kennine.
40 Then he saide vnto all Israel, Be ye on one side, and I and Ionathan my sonne will be on the other side. And the people saide vnto Saul, Doe what thou thinkest best.
Saaʼolis Israaʼeloota hundaan, “Isin achi dhaabadhaa; anii fi ilmi koo Yoonaataan immoo as dhaabanna” jedhe. Namoonnis, “Waan gaarii sitti fakkaate godhi” jedhaniin.
41 Then Saul said vnto the Lord God of Israel, Giue a perfite lot. And Ionathan and Saul were taken, but the people escaped.
Ergasii Saaʼol, “Deebii qajeelaa naa kenni” jedhee Waaqayyoon Waaqa Israaʼel kadhate. Ixaanis Yoonaataanii fi Saaʼolitti baʼe; namoonnis bilisa baʼan.
42 And Saul saide, Cast lot betweene me and Ionathan my sonne. And Ionathan was taken.
Saaʼolis, “Anaa fi ilma koo Yoonaataan gidduutti immoo ixaa buusaa” jedhe. Ixaan sunis Yoonaataanitti baʼe.
43 Then Saul said to Ionathan, Tell me what thou hast done. And Ionathan tolde him, and said, I tasted a litle hony with the ende of the rod, that was in mine hand, and loe, I must die.
Saaʼolis Yoonaataaniin, “Ati waan goote natti himi” jedhe. Yoonaataanis, “Ani dhugumaan fiixee ulee kootiin damma xinnoo ishee muuxadheera. Egaa ani duʼuun qabaa?” jedhee isatti hime.
44 Againe Saul answered, God doe so and more also, vnlesse thou die the death, Ionathan.
Saaʼolis Yoonaataaniin, “Yoonaataan, yoo ati dhugumaan duʼuu baatte Waaqni waan kanaa fi kan caalu iyyuu natti haa fidu” jedhe.
45 And the people said vnto Saul, Shall Ionathan die, who hath so mightily deliuered Israel? God forbid. As the Lord liueth, there shall not one heare of his head fall to the ground: for he hath wrought with God this day. So the people deliuered Ionathan that he dyed not.
Namoonni garuu Saaʼoliin akkana jedhan; “Yonaataan namni moʼannoo guddaa kana Israaʼeliif fide duʼuu qabaa? Kun gonkumaa hin taʼu! Dhugaa Waaqayyo jiraataa, rifeensi mataa isaa tokko illee lafa hin buʼu; inni gargaarsa Waaqaatiin harʼa waan kana godheeraatii.” Namoonni akkasiin Yoonaataanin baraaran; innis hin ajjeefamne.
46 Then Saul came vp from the Philistims: and the Philistims went to their owne place.
Saaʼolis Filisxeemota ariʼuu ni dhiise; isaanis gara biyya isaaniitti dachaʼan.
47 So Saul helde the kingdome ouer Israel, and fought against all his enemies on euery side, against Moab, and against the children of Ammon, and against Edom, and against the Kings of Zobah, and against the Philistims: and whithersoeuer he went, he handled them as wicked men.
Saaʼol erga Israaʼel irratti mootii taʼee booddee diinota isaanii kanneen gama hundaan turan hunda jechuunis Moʼaabota, Amoonota, Edoomota, Mootota Zoobaa fi Filisxeemota lole. Lafa dhaqu hundattis isaan barbadeessa ture.
48 He gathered also an hoste and smote Amalek, and deliuered Israel out of the handes of them that spoyled them.
Gootummaadhaanis Amaaleqoota lolee moʼate; Israaʼelootas harka warra isaan saamanii jalaa baase.
49 Nowe the sonnes of Saul were Ionathan, and Ishui, and Malchishua: and the names of his two daughters, the elder was called Merab, and the yonger was named Michal.
Ilmaan Saaʼol Yoonaataan, Yishwii fi Malkii-Shuwaa turan. Maqaan intallan isaa immoo isheen hangafni Meerab, quxisuun immoo Miikaal jedhama ture.
50 And the name of Sauls wife was Ahinoam the daughter of Ahimaaz: and the name of his chiefe captaine was Abner the sonne of Ner, Sauls vncle.
Maqaan niitii isaa Ahiinooʼam jedhama ture; isheenis intala Ahiimaʼaz turte. Maqaan ajajaa waraana Saaʼol Abneer ilma Neeriti; Neer immoo obboleessa abbaa Saaʼol.
51 And Kish was Sauls father: and Ner the father of Abner was the sonne of Abiel.
Qiish abbaan Saaʼolii fi Neer abbaan Abneer ilmaan Abiiʼeel.
52 And there was sore warre against the Philistims all the dayes of Saul: and whomsoeuer Saul sawe to be a strong man, and meete for the warre, he tooke him vnto him.
Bara jireenya Saaʼol guutuu waraana cimaatu Filisxeemota irratti adeemsifamaa ture; Saaʼolis yommuu nama jabaa yookaan goota tokko argutti ofitti fudhatee akka isa tajaajilu godhata ture.
