2 Samuel 3
1 There was then long warre betweene the house of Saul and the house of Dauid: but Dauid waxed stronger, and the house of Saul waxed weaker.
Mana Saaʼolii fi mana Daawit gidduu waraana bara dheeraatu ture. Yeroo Daawit jabaachaa deemetti manni Saaʼol immoo dadhabaa deeme.
2 And vnto Dauid were children borne in Hebron: and his eldest sonne was Amnon of Ahinoam the Izreelite,
Daawit Kebroonitti ijoollee dhalche; isaanis: Inni hangafni Amnoon isa Ahiinooʼam Yizriʼeelittiin deessee dha;
3 And his seconde, was Chileab of Abigail the wife of Nabal the Carmelite: and the third, Absalom the sonne of Maacah the daughter of Talmai the King of Geshur,
inni lammaffaan Kiliʼaab ilma Abiigayiil isheen Naabaal namichi biyya Qarmeloos irraa duʼe sun deessee dha; sadaffaan Abesaaloom ilma Maʼakaa kan intalli Talmaayi mooticha Geshuur sun deessee dha;
4 And the fourth, Adoniiah the sonne of Haggith, and the fifth, Shephatiah the sonne of Abital,
afuraffaan Adooniyaa ilma Hagiit; shanaffaan Shefaaxiyaa ilma Abiixaal;
5 And the sixt, Ithream by Eglah Dauids wife: these were borne to Dauid in Hebron.
jaʼaffaan Yitreʼaam ilma Eglaa niitiin Daawit deessee dha. Isaan kunneen Kebroonitti Daawitiif dhalatan.
6 Nowe while there was warre betweene the house of Saul and the house of Dauid, Abner made all his power for the house of Saul.
Yeroo mana Saaʼolii fi mana Daawit gidduu waraanni turetti Abneer mana Saaʼol irratti humna isaa jabeeffachaa ture.
7 And Saul had a concubine named Rizpah, the daughter of Aiiah. And Ish-bosheth sayde to Abner, Wherefore hast thou gone in to my fathers concubine?
Saaʼolis intala Ayyaa kan Riixiphaa jedhamtu saajjatoo godhatee ture. Iish-Booshetis Abneeriin, “Ati maaliif saajjatoo abbaa kootii wajjin rafte?” jedhe.
8 Then was Abner very wroth for the words of Ish-bosheth, and said, Am I a dogges head, which against Iudah do shew mercie this day vnto the house of Saul thy father, to his brethren, and to his neighbours, and haue not deliuered thee into the hande of Dauid, that thou chargest me this day with a fault concerning this woman?
Abneer immoo waan Iish-Booshet akkas jedheef akka malee aaree akkana jedhe; “Ani mataa saree Yihuudaatii? Ani hamma harʼaatti mana abbaa kee Saaʼoliif, mana maatii isaatii fi mana firoota isaatiif amanamaa dha. Siʼi illee dabarsee Daawititti hin kennine. Ati garuu amma waaʼee dubartii kanaatiif na himatta!
9 So doe God to Abner, and more also, except, as the Lord hath sworne to Dauid, euen so I doe to him,
Yoo ani akka abdiin Waaqni Daawitiif kenne sun raawwatamu gochuu baadhe Waaqayyo Abneer irratti waan hamaa haa godhu; sana caalaa iyyuu isatti haa fidu;
10 To remoue the kingdome from the house of Saul, that the throne of Dauid may be stablished ouer Israel, and ouer Iudah, euen from Dan to Beer-sheba.
wanni Waaqni kakuudhaan isa abdachiise sunis mana Saaʼol irraa mootummaa fuudhee Daanii jalqabee hamma Bersheebaatti Israaʼelii fi Yihuudaa irratti teessoo Daawit jabeessee dhaabuu dha.”
11 And he durst no more answere to Abner: for he feared him.
Iish-Booshet waan isa sodaateef Abneeritti waan tokko illee dubbachuu hin dandeenye.
12 Then Abner sent messengers to Dauid on his behalfe, saying, Whose is the lande? who should also say, Make couenant with me, and beholde, mine hande shalbe with thee, to bring all Israel vnto thee.
Ergasii Abneer, “Biyyattiin kan eenyuu ti? Na wajjin walii galtee godhadhu; anis akka Israaʼel guutumaan guutuutti gara kee goru sin gargaaraa” jedhee Daawititti ergamoota erge.
13 Who saide, Well, I will make a couenant with thee: but one thing I require of thee, that is, that thou see not my face except thou bring Michal Sauls daughter when thou commest to see me.
Daawitis, “Gaarii dha; ani si wajjin walii galtee nan godhadha. Garuu waan tokko sin gaafadha; kunis ati yommuu gara koo dhuftutti jalqabatti Miikaal intala Saaʼol naa fidi; yoo kanaa achii gara koo hin dhufin” jedhe.
14 Then Dauid sent messengers to Ish-bosheth Sauls sonne, saying, Deliuer me my wife Michal, which I marryed for an hundreth foreskinnes of the Philistims.
Ergasiis Daawit, “Niitii koo ishee ani misaa Filisxeemota dhibba tokkootiin kaadhimadhe Miikaalin naa ergi” jedhee Iish-Booshet ilma Saaʼolitti ergamoota erge.
15 And Ish-bosheth sent, and tooke her from her husband Phaltiel the sonne of Laish.
Kanaafuu Iish-Booshet nama ergee dhirsa ishee Phaltiiʼeel ilma Laayish irraa ishee fudhate.
16 And her husband went with her, and came weeping behinde her, vnto Bahurim: then saide Abner vnto him, Go, and returne. So he returned.
Dhirsi ishees hamma magaalaa Bahuuriimitti booʼaa ishee duukaa buʼe. Abneeris, “Mana keetti deebiʼi!” jedheen. Kanaafuu inni ni deebiʼe.
17 And Abner had communication with the Elders of Israel, saying, Ye sought for Dauid in times past, that he might be your King.
Abneer maanguddoota Israaʼel wajjin mariʼatee akkana jedhe; “Isin kanaan dura akka Daawit mootii keessan taʼu hawwaa turtan.
18 Nowe then doe it: for the Lord hath spoken of Dauid, saying, By the hand of my seruant Dauid I will saue my people Israel out of the handes of the Philistims, and out of the handes of all their enemies.
Waaqayyo, ‘Ani garbicha koo Daawitiin saba Israaʼel harka Filisxeemotaatii akkasumas harka diinota isaanii hundaa keessaa nan baasa’ jedhee abdachiiseeraatii isin waan kana galmaan gaʼaa!”
19 Also Abner spake to Beniamin, and afterward Abner went to speake with Dauid in Hebron, concerning all that Israel was content with, and the whole house of Beniamin.
Abneer namoota Beniyaam birattis ni dubbate. Ergasiis Kebroon dhaqee waan Israaʼeloonnii fi manni Beniyaam hundi gochuu barbaadan Daawititti hime.
20 So Abner came to Dauid to Hebron, hauing twentie men with him, and Dauid made a feast vnto Abner, and to the men that were with him.
Yommuu Abneer namoota isaa digdama wajjin Kebroon dhufetti, Daawit isaa fi namoota isaatiif cidha qopheesse.
21 Then Abner sayde vnto Dauid, I will rise vp, and goe gather all Israel vnto my lorde the King, that they may make a couenant with thee, and that thou mayest reigne ouer all that thine heart desireth. Then Dauid let Abner depart, who went in peace.
Abneeris Daawitiin, “Ani kaʼee deemee akka isaan gooftaa koo mootii wajjin kakuu galanii fi akka ati warra garaan kee fedhe hunda irratti mootii taatuuf Israaʼeloota hunda walitti nan qaba” jedhe. Kanaaf Daawit isa geggeesse; innis nagaadhaan deeme.
22 And beholde, the seruants of Dauid and Ioab came from the campe, and brought a great pray with them (but Abner was not with Dauid in Hebron: for he had sent him away, and he departed in peace)
Namoonni Daawitii fi Yooʼaab yommuu suma boojuu hedduu fudhatanii duulaa galan. Abneer garuu Daawit wajjin Kebroon hin turre; Daawit isa geggeessee inni nagaan deemeeraatii.
23 When Ioab, and all the hoste that was with him were come, men tolde Ioab, saying, Abner the sonne of Ner came to the King, and he hath sent him away, and he is gone in peace.
Yooʼaabii fi loltoonni isa wajjin turan hundi yommuu achi gaʼanitti akka Abneer ilmi Neer mooticha bira dhufee mootichi nagaan isa geggeesse isatti himame.
24 Then Ioab came to the King, and saide, What hast thou done? beholde, Abner came vnto thee, why hast thou sent him away, and he is departed?
Kanaafuu Yooʼaab gara mootichaa dhaqee akkana jedhe; “Maali gochuu kee ti? Kunoo Abneer gara kee dhufee ture. Ati Maaliif isa geggeessite? Inni amma deemeera!
25 Thou knowest Abner the sonne of Ner: for he came to deceiue thee, and to knowe thy outgoing and ingoing, and to knowe all that thou doest.
Ati Abneer ilma Neer ni beekta; inni si gowwoomsee sochii keetii fi waan ati gochaa jirtu hunda basaasuudhaaf dhufe.”
26 And when Ioab was gone out from Dauid, he sent messengers after Abner, which brought him againe from the well of Siriah vnknowing to Dauid.
Yooʼaabis Daawit biraa baʼee Abneer duubaan ergamoota erge; isaanis boolla bishaanii kan Siiraa biraa isa deebisan. Daawit garuu waan kana hin beekne.
27 And when Abner was come againe to Hebron, Ioab tooke him aside in the gate to speake with him peaceably, and smote him vnder the fift ryb, that he dyed, for the blood of Asahel his brother.
Yeroo Abneer Kebroonitti deebiʼettis Yooʼaab waan kophaatti isa wajjin haasaʼuu barbaade fakkeessee gara karraatti isa baase. Achittis haaloo dhiiga obboleessa isaa Asaaheel baasuuf garaa keessa isa waraane; innis ni duʼe.
28 And when afterwarde it came to Dauids eare, he saide, I and my kingdome are giltlesse before the Lord for euer, concerning the blood of Abner the sonne of Ner.
Ergasii Daawit yommuu waan kana dhagaʼetti akkana jedhe; “Anii fi mootummaan koo bara baraan dhiiga Abneer ilma Neer irraa fuula Waaqayyoo duratti qulqulluu dha.
29 Let the blood fall on the head of Ioab, and on all his fathers house, that the house of Ioab be neuer without some that haue running issues, or leper, or that leaneth on a staffe, or that doeth fall on the sworde, or that lacketh bread.
Cubbuun dhiiga isaa mataa Yooʼaabii fi mana abbaa isaa hundaa irra haa gaʼu! Namni madaa malaa yaasu yookaan lamxii qabu yookaan namni uleetti rarraʼee deemu yookaan namni goraadeen ajjeefamu yookaan namni waan nyaatu dhabu mana Yooʼaabii hin dhabamin.”
30 (So Ioab and Abishai his brother slewe Abner, because he had slaine their brother Asahel at Gibeon in battel)
Sababii inni lola Gibeʼoon irratti obboleessa isaanii Asaaheelin ajjeeseef Yooʼaabii fi obboleessi isaa Abiishaayi Abneerin ajjeesan.
31 And Dauid said to Ioab, and to al the people that were with him, Rent your clothes, and put on sackecloth, and mourne before Abner: and King Dauid him selfe followed the beare.
Daawitis Yooʼaabii fi namoota isa wajjin turan hundaan, “Uffata keessan tarsaasaatii uffata gaddaa uffadhaa; fuula Abneer durattis booʼaa” jedhe. Daawit mootichis reeffa Abneer geggeesse.
32 And when they had buryed Abner in Hebron, the King lift vp his voyce, and wept beside the sepulchre of Abner, and all the people wept.
Isaanis Abneerin Kebroonitti awwaalan; mootichis awwaala Abneer irratti iyyee booʼe; namoonni hundinuus ni booʼan.
33 And the King lamented ouer Abner, and sayde, Dyed Abner as a foole dyeth?
Mootichis faaruu gaddaa kana akkana jedhee Abneeriif faarse: “Abneer akka duʼa nama yaraa tokkootti duʼuu qabaa?
34 Thine handes were not bounde, nor thy feete tyed in fetters of brasse: but as a man falleth before wicked men, so diddest thou fall. And all the people wept againe for him.
Harki kee hin hidhamne; miilli kee foncaadhaan hin gaadiʼamne. Ati akkuma nama fuula hamootaa duratti kufu tokkootti kufte.” Namoonni hundinuu amma illee ni booʼaniif.
35 Afterwarde all the people came to cause Dauid eate meate while it was yet day, but Dauid sware, saying, So doe God to me and more also, if I taste bread, or ought els till the sunne be downe.
Gara saafaattis namoonni hundi dhufanii akka inni waa nyaatuuf Daawitin kadhatan; inni garuu, “Yoo ani hamma biiftuun lixxutti buddeena yookaan waan biraa afaan kootiin qabe Waaqni waan hamaa natti haa fidu; kana caalaa iyyuu natti haa fidu!” jedhee kakate.
36 And all the people knewe it, and it pleased them: as whatsoeuer the King did, pleased all the people.
Namoonni hundinuu waan kana arganii gammadan; dhugumaan wanni mootichi godhe hundi isaan gammachiise.
37 For all the people and all Israel vnderstoode that day, howe that it was not the Kings deede that Abner the sonne of Ner was slaine.
Kanaafuu gaafa sana namoonni hundii fi Israaʼel hundi akka ajjeefamuu Abneer ilma Neer keessatti mootichi qooda hin qabne beekan.
38 And the King said vnto his seruants, Know ye not, that there is a prince and a great man falle this day in Israel?
Mootichis namoota isaatiin akkana jedhe; “Isin akka guyyaa harʼaa ilmi mootiitii fi namni guddaan tokko Israaʼel keessaa kufe hin beeknee?
39 And I am this day weake and newly anoynted King: and these men the sonnes of Zeruiah be too harde for me: the Lord rewarde the doer of euill according to his wickednesse.
Ani mootii dibame taʼu illee harʼa nama dadhabaa dha; ilmaan Zeruuyaa kunneen natti jabaataniiru. Waaqayyo nama waan hamaa hojjetuuf akkuma hammina hojii isaatti isaaf haa kennu!”
