< Judges 3 >

1 NOW these are the nations which the Lord left, to prove Israel by them, even as many of Israel as had not known all the wars of Canaan;
Saboonni Waaqayyo Israaʼeloota waraana Kanaʼaan keessatti deemsifame kam iyyuu irratti hirmaatanii hin beekin hunda qoruuf jedhee idduma isaan turanitti hambise kanneenii dha;
2 Only that the generations of the children of Israel might know, to teach them war, at the least such as before knew nothing thereof;
innis akka Israaʼeloonni kanaan dura waraana keessatti hirmaatanii hin beekin muuxannoo argataniif waan kana godhe;
3 Namely, five lords of the Philistines, and all the Canaanites, and the Sidonians, and the Hivites that dwelt in mount Lebanon, from mount Baal-hermon unto the entering in of Hamath.
kanneen utuu hin baʼin achumatti hafanis: bulchitoota Filisxeemotaa shanan, Kanaʼaanota hunda, Siidoonotaa fi Hiiwota Tulluu Baʼaal Hermoonii jalqabanii hamma balbala Hamaatitti gaarran Libaanoon gubbaa jiraatanii dha.
4 And they were to prove Israel by them, to know whether they would hearken unto the commandments of the Lord, which he commanded their fathers by the hand of Moses.
Isaan kunneen warra Israaʼeloonni ajaja Waaqayyoo kan inni karaa Museetiin abbootii isaaniif kennee ture sana eeguu fi eeguu baachuu isaanii ittiin qoramanii ilaalamaniif hambifamanii dha.
5 And the children of Israel dwelt among the Canaanites, Hittites, and Amorites, and Perizzites, and Hivites, and Jebusites:
Kanaafuu Israaʼeloonni Kanaʼaanota, Heetota, Amoorota, Feerzota, Hiiwotaa fi Yebuusota gidduu jiraatan.
6 And they took their daughters to be their wives, and gave their daughters to their sons, and served their gods.
Isaanis intallan jaraa fuudhan; intallan ofii isaanii immoo ilmaan isaaniitti heerumsiisan; waaqota isaaniis ni waaqeffatan.
7 And the children of Israel did evil in the sight of the Lord, and forgat the Lord their God, and served Baalim and the groves.
Israaʼeloonni fuula Waaqayyoo duratti waan hamaa hojjetan; Waaqayyo Waaqa isaanii irraanfatanii Baʼaalii fi Asheeraa waaqeffatan.
8 Therefore the anger of the Lord was hot against Israel, and he sold them into the hand of Chushan-rishathaim king of Mesopotamia: and the children of Israel served Chushan-rishathaim eight years.
Aariin Waaqayyo Israaʼelootatti bobaʼe; kanaafuu mootii Phaadaan Arraam Kuushan-Rishaataayimitti dabarsee isaan gurgure; Israaʼeloonnis waggaa saddeeti isa jalatti bulan.
9 And when the children of Israel cried unto the Lord, the Lord raised up a deliverer to the children of Israel, who delivered them, even Othniel the son of Kenaz, Caleb’s younger brother.
Waaqayyo garuu yeroo isaan gara isaatti iyyatanitti nama isaan furu tokko jechuunis obboleessa Kaaleb quxisuu, Otniiʼeel ilma Qenaz sana akka inni isaan furuuf kaaseef.
10 And the Spirit of the Lord came upon him, and he judged Israel, and went out to war: and the Lord delivered Chushan-rishathaim king of Mesopotamia into his hand; and his hand prevailed against Chushan-rishathaim.
Hafuurri Waaqayyoo isa irra buʼe; kanaafuu inni abbaa murtii Israaʼelootaa taʼee duulaaf baʼe. Waaqayyos Kuushan-Rishaataayim mooticha Phaadaan Arraam sana dabarsee harka Onniiʼelitti kenne; innis isa moʼate.
11 And the land had rest forty years. And Othniel the son of Kenaz died.
Kanaafuu biyyi sun hamma Otniiʼeel ilmi Qenaz duʼutti waggaa afurtama nagaa argate.
12 And the children of Israel did evil again in the sight of the Lord: and the Lord strengthened Eglon the king of Moab against Israel, because they had done evil in the sight of the Lord.
Ammas Israaʼeloonni fuula Waaqayyoo duratti waan hamaa hojjetan; sababii isaan waan hamaa kana hojjetaniif Waaqayyo akka Egloon mootiin Moʼaab harka isaa isaanitti cimsuuf dabarsee isaan kenne.
13 And he gathered unto him the children of Ammon and Amalek, and went and smote Israel, and possessed the city of palm trees.
Innis Amoonotaa fi Amaaleqoota walitti qabatee Israaʼeloota waraane; isaanis Magaalaa Meexxii qabatan.
14 So the children of Israel served Eglon the king of Moab eighteen years.
Israaʼeloonni waggaa kudha saddeet Egloon mootii Moʼaab jalatti bulan.
15 But when the children of Israel cried unto the Lord, the Lord raised them up a deliverer, Ehud the son of Gera, a Benjamite, a man lefthanded: and by him the children of Israel sent a present unto Eglon the king of Moab.
Israaʼeloonni ammas gara Waaqayyootti iyyatan; innis nama isaan furu tokko jechuunis Eehuud nama harka bitaachaa, ilma Geeraa sana gosa Beniyaam keessaa isaanii kaase. Israaʼeloonnis akka inni Egloon mootii Moʼaab sanaaf gibira geessu Naaʼodin ergan.
16 But Ehud made him a dagger which had two edges, of a cubit length; and he did gird it under his raiment upon his right thigh.
Eehuudis goraadee gama lamaan qara qabu kan meetira walakkaa dheeratu tolfatee uffata isaa jalaan tafa mirgaatti hidhate.
17 And he brought the present unto Eglon king of Moab: and Eglon was a very fat man.
Gibira sana Egloon mooticha Moʼaab namicha akka malee furdaa ture sanaaf dhiʼeesse.
18 And when he had made an end to offer the present, he sent away the people that bare the present.
Naaʼod erga gibira sana dhiʼeessee booddee namoota baataniifii dhufan geggeesse.
19 But he himself turned again from the quarries that were by Gilgal, and said, I have a secret errand unto thee, O king: who said, Keep silence. And all that stood by him went out from him.
Inni garuu iddoo dhagaan baafamu kan Gilgaal biratti argamu bira gaʼee duubatti deebiʼuudhaan, “Yaa mootii ani waan dhoksaatti sitti himu tokko qaba” jedhe. Mootichis, “Calʼisaa!” jedhe; warri isa bira turan hundinuus isa dhiisanii baʼan.
20 And Ehud came unto him; and he was sitting in a summer parlour, which he had for himself alone. And Ehud said, I have a message from God unto thee. And he arose out of his seat.
Utuu mootichi kutaa mana isaa iddoo qabbanaaʼaa tokko kophaa isaa taaʼee jiruu Eehuud itti dhiʼaatee, “Ani ergaa Waaqa biraa siif ergame qaba” jedheen. Egloonis teessoo isaa irraa ol kaʼe;
21 And Ehud put forth his left hand, and took the dagger from his right thigh, and thrust it into his belly:
Eehuud harka isaa bitaa diriirsee tafa mirga isaa irraa goraadee luqqifatee garaa mootichaa keessa fullaase.
22 And the haft also went in after the blade; and the fat closed upon the blade, so that he could not draw the dagger out of his belly; and the dirt came out.
Qabannoon isaas utuu hin hafin garaa seenee sibiilli isaa duubaan baʼe. Naaʼod goraadicha garaa mootichaa keessaa hin buqqifne; moorris goraadee sana haguugee ture.
23 Then Ehud went forth through the porch, and shut the doors of the parlour upon him, and locked them.
Ergasiis Eehuud Egloonitti balbala cufee karaa borootiin baʼee qajeele.
24 When he was gone out, his servants came; and when they saw that, behold, the doors of the parlour were locked, they said, Surely he covereth his feet in his summer chamber.
Erga Eehuud deemee booddee tajaajiltoonni mootichaa dhufan; balbala kutaa mana ol aanuus akkuma inni cufamee jirutti argan. Isaanis, “Tarii inni mana boolii gad taaʼee jira taʼa” jedhan.
25 And they tarried till they were ashamed: and, behold, he opened not the doors of the parlour; therefore they took a key, and opened them: and, behold, their lord was fallen down dead on the earth.
Hamma dadhabanittis eegan; garuu waan inni utuu balbala hin banin tureef furtuu fudhatanii balbala banan. Kunoo gooftaan isaanii duʼee lafa irra diriiree ture.
26 And Ehud escaped while they tarried, and passed beyond the quarries, and escaped unto Seirath.
Utuma isaan dhaabatanii eegaa jiranuu Eehuud fagaatee deeme. Karaa lafa dhagaan itti soofamuutiin darbee gara Seʼiiraatti baqate.
27 And it came to pass, when he was come, that he blew a trumpet in the mountain of Ephraim, and the children of Israel went down with him from the mount, and he before them.
Innis yommuu achi gaʼetti biyya gaaraa Efreem keessatti malakata afuufe; Israaʼeloonnis hooggantummaa isaatiin biyya gaaraa sana irraa isa wajjin gad buʼan.
28 And he said unto them, Follow after me: for the Lord hath delivered your enemies the Moabites into your hand. And they went down after him, and took the fords of Jordan toward Moab, and suffered not a man to pass over.
Eehuudis, “Diina keessan Moʼaabin Waaqayyo dabarsee harka keessanitti isinii kenneeraatii na duukaa buʼaa!” jedheen. Isaanis malkaa Yordaanos kan gara Moʼaabitti geessu sana qabatanii nama tokko illee achiin darbuu dhowwan.
29 And they slew of Moab at that time about ten thousand men, all lusty, and all men of valour; and there escaped not a man.
Yeroo sanatti Moʼaabota hundi isaanii jajjaboo fi humna qabeeyyii taʼan kuma kudhan fixan; namni tokko iyyuu isaan jalaa hin baane.
30 So Moab was subdued that day under the hand of Israel. And the land had rest fourscore years.
Gaafa sana Moʼaab harka Israaʼelitti galfamte; biyyattiinis waggaa saddeettamaaf nagaa argatte.
31 And after him was Shamgar the son of Anath, which slew of the Philistines six hundred men with an ox goad: and he also delivered Israel.
Eehuuditti aanee Shamgaar ilmi Anaat kaʼe; innis ulee ittiin qotiyyoo tuttuqaniin Filisxeemota dhibba jaʼa fixe. Akkasiinis Israaʼeloota baraare.
