1 Kings 21
1 And it came to pass after these things, [that] Naboth the Jezreelite had a vineyard, which [was] in Jezreel, hard by the palace of Ahab king of Samaria.
Naabot namichi Yizriʼeel tokko Yizriʼeel keessaa, masaraa mootummaa Ahaab mooticha Samaariyaa biraa iddoo dhaabaa wayinii qaba ture.
2 And Ahab spake unto Naboth, saying, Give me thy vineyard, that I may have it for a garden of herbs, because it [is] near unto my house: and I will give thee for it a better vineyard than it; [or], if it seem good to thee, I will give thee the worth of it in money.
Ahaabis Naabotiin akkana jedhe; “Sababii inni masaraa mootummaa kootti dhiʼaatuuf akka ani achi irra biqiltuu dhaabbadhuuf iddoo dhaabaa wayinii keetii naaf kenni. Qooda isaa ani iddoo dhaabaa wayinii kan isa caalu yookaan yoo ati feete gatii isaa maallaqa siifin kennaa.”
3 And Naboth said to Ahab, The LORD forbid it me, that I should give the inheritance of my fathers unto thee.
Naabot garuu, “Dhaala abbootii koo siif kennuu irraa Waaqayyo na haa eegu” jedhee deebise.
4 And Ahab came into his house heavy and displeased because of the word which Naboth the Jezreelite had spoken to him: for he had said, I will not give thee the inheritance of my fathers. And he laid him down upon his bed, and turned away his face, and would eat no bread.
Kanaafuu sababii Naabot namichi Yizriʼeel sun “Ani dhaala abbootii koo siif hin kennu” jedheef Ahaab akka malee aaree dheekkamaa gara mana isaatti gale. Innis fuula isaa garagalfatee siree isaa irra ciise; waa nyaachuus ni dide.
5 But Jezebel his wife came to him, and said unto him, Why is thy spirit so sad, that thou eatest no bread?
Iizaabel niitiin isaas ol seentee, “Ati maaliif akkana aarta? Maaliif waa hin nyaanne?” jettee isa gaafatte.
6 And he said unto her, Because I spake unto Naboth the Jezreelite, and said unto him, Give me thy vineyard for money; or else, if it please thee, I will give thee [another] vineyard for it: and he answered, I will not give thee my vineyard.
Innis akkana jedhee deebiseef; “Sababii Naabot namichi Yizriʼeel sun, ani, ‘Iddoo dhaabaa wayinii keetii natti gurguri, yookaan yoo ati feete qooda isaa iddoo dhaabaa wayinii biraa siifin kenna’ jennaaniin inni immoo, ‘Ani iddoo dhaabaa wayinii koo siif hin kennu’ naan jedheef.”
7 And Jezebel his wife said unto him, Dost thou now govern the kingdom of Israel? arise, [and] eat bread, and let thine heart be merry: I will give thee the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite.
Niitiin isaa Iizaabelis, “Ati amma mootii Israaʼelii? Kaʼii buddeena nyaadhu! Gammadis. Ani iddoo dhaabaa wayinii Naabot namicha Yizriʼeel sanaa siifin kennaa” jetteen.
8 So she wrote letters in Ahab’s name, and sealed [them] with his seal, and sent the letters unto the elders and to the nobles that [were] in his city, dwelling with Naboth.
Kanaafuu isheen maqaa Ahaabiin xalayoota barreessitee chaappaa isaatiin chaappeessitee maanguddootaa fi namoota bebeekamoo magaalaa Naabot keessa isa wajjin jiraatanitti ergite.
9 And she wrote in the letters, saying, Proclaim a fast, and set Naboth on high among the people:
Xalayoota sana keessattis akkana jettee barreessite: “Guyyaa soomaa tokko labsaatii akka Naabot waldaa keessa iddoo ol aanu taaʼu godhaa.
10 And set two men, sons of Belial, before him, to bear witness against him, saying, Thou didst blaspheme God and the king. And [then] carry him out, and stone him, that he may die.
Namoota kashlabboota lama fuula isaa dura teessisaatii akka isaan akka inni Waaqaa fi mooticha abaare itti rageessan godhaa. Ergasiis gad baasaatii dhagaadhaan tumaa isa ajjeesaa.”
11 And the men of his city, [even] the elders and the nobles who were the inhabitants in his city, did as Jezebel had sent unto them, [and] as it [was] written in the letters which she had sent unto them.
Kanaafuu maanguddoonnii fi namoonni bebbeekamoon magaalaa Naabot keessa jiraatan akkuma Iizaabel xalayoota barreessiteef keessatti isaan ajajje sana godhan.
12 They proclaimed a fast, and set Naboth on high among the people.
Isaanis sooma labsanii akka Naabot waldaa keessa iddoo ol aanu taaʼu godhan.
13 And there came in two men, children of Belial, and sat before him: and the men of Belial witnessed against him, [even] against Naboth, in the presence of the people, saying, Naboth did blaspheme God and the king. Then they carried him forth out of the city, and stoned him with stones, that he died.
Ergasii Kashlabboonni lama dhufanii fuula isaa dura tataaʼanii, “Naabot Waaqaa fi mooticha abaareera” jedhanii namoota duratti itti rageessan. Kanaafis magaalaa keessaa gad baasanii dhagaadhaan tumanii isa ajjeesan.
14 Then they sent to Jezebel, saying, Naboth is stoned, and is dead.
Ergasii isaan, “Naabot dhagaan tumamee duʼeera” jedhanii Iizaabelitti ergaa ergan.
15 And it came to pass, when Jezebel heard that Naboth was stoned, and was dead, that Jezebel said to Ahab, Arise, take possession of the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite, which he refused to give thee for money: for Naboth is not alive, but dead.
Iizaabelis akkuma akka Naabot dhagaan tumamee duʼe dhageesseen Ahaabiin, “Kaʼiitii iddoo dhaabaa wayinii Naabot namichi Yizriʼeel sitti gurguruu dide sana dhaali. Inni lubbuun hin jiru; duʼeeraa” jette.
16 And it came to pass, when Ahab heard that Naboth was dead, that Ahab rose up to go down to the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite, to take possession of it.
Ahaabis akka Naabot duʼe dhageenyaan iddoo dhaabaa wayinii Naabot sana dhaaluuf kaʼee gad buʼe.
17 And the word of the LORD came to Elijah the Tishbite, saying,
Dubbiin Waaqayyoo akkana jedhee gara Eeliyaas namicha Tishbii sanaa dhufe;
18 Arise, go down to meet Ahab king of Israel, which [is] in Samaria: behold, [he is] in the vineyard of Naboth, whither he is gone down to possess it.
“Ahaab mooticha Israaʼel kan Samaariyaa keessa taaʼee bulchu sana arguuf gad buʼi. Inni amma lafa qotiisaa sana dhaaluuf gad buʼee iddoo dhaabaa wayinii Naabot keessa jira.
19 And thou shalt speak unto him, saying, Thus saith the LORD, Hast thou killed, and also taken possession? And thou shalt speak unto him, saying, Thus saith the LORD, In the place where dogs licked the blood of Naboth shall dogs lick thy blood, even thine.
Atis akkana jedhiin: ‘Waaqayyo akkana jedha; ati nama tokko ajjeeftee qabeenya isaa hin dhaallee?’ Ergasiis akkana jedhiin; ‘Waaqayyo akkana jedha: Iddoo sareen dhiiga Naabot arraabde sanatti sareen dhiiga kees ni arraabdi; eeyyee dhugumaan dhiiga kees ni arraabdi!’”
20 And Ahab said to Elijah, Hast thou found me, O mine enemy? And he answered, I have found [thee: ] because thou hast sold thyself to work evil in the sight of the LORD.
Ahaabis Eeliyaasiin, “Yaa diina ko, ati na argatteerta!” jedhe. Innis deebisee akkana jedheen; “Sababii ati fuula Waaqayyoo duratti waan hamaa hojjechuuf of gurgurteef ani si argadheera.
21 Behold, I will bring evil upon thee, and will take away thy posterity, and will cut off from Ahab him that pisseth against the wall, and him that is shut up and left in Israel,
‘Ani badiisa sitti nan fida. Sanyii kee illee nan balleessa; dhiira mana Ahaab, garbas taʼu birmaduu hunda Israaʼel keessaa nan balleessa.
22 And will make thine house like the house of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, and like the house of Baasha the son of Ahijah, for the provocation wherewith thou hast provoked [me] to anger, and made Israel to sin.
Sababii ati aariif na kakaaftee fi akka Israaʼel cubbuu hojjetu gooteef ani mana kee akkuma mana Yerobiʼaam ilma Nebaat sanaatii fi akkuma mana Baʼishaan ilma Ahiiyaa sanaa nan godha.’
23 And of Jezebel also spake the LORD, saying, The dogs shall eat Jezebel by the wall of Jezreel.
“Waaʼee Iizaabelis Waaqayyo akkana jedha: ‘Dallaa dhagaa Yizriʼeel biratti saroonni Iizaabelin ni nyaatu.’
24 Him that dieth of Ahab in the city the dogs shall eat; and him that dieth in the field shall the fowls of the air eat.
“Nama Ahaab kan magaalaa keessatti duʼu kam iyyuu sareetu nyaata; kan baadiyyaatti duʼu immoo allaattii samiitu nyaata.”
25 But there was none like unto Ahab, which did sell himself to work wickedness in the sight of the LORD, whom Jezebel his wife stirred up.
Namni akka Ahaab isa niitii ofii isaa Iizaabeliin kakaafamee fuula Waaqayyoo duratti waan hamaa hojjechuudhaaf of gurgure sanaa gonkumaa hin jiru.
26 And he did very abominably in following idols, according to all [things] as did the Amorites, whom the LORD cast out before the children of Israel.
Inni akkuma Amoorota kanneen Waaqayyo saba Israaʼel duraa ariʼee baase sanaa waaqota tolfamoo duukaa buʼuudhaan waan akka malee jibbisiisaa taʼe hojjete.
27 And it came to pass, when Ahab heard those words, that he rent his clothes, and put sackcloth upon his flesh, and fasted, and lay in sackcloth, and went softly.
Ahaab yommuu dubbii kana dhagaʼetti uffata isaa tarsaasee, wayyaa gaddaa uffatee soome. Innis wayyaa gaddaatiin ciisaa, mataa buusees deemaa ture.
28 And the word of the LORD came to Elijah the Tishbite, saying,
Dubbiin Waaqayyoos akkana jedhee gara Eeliyaas namicha Tishbii sanaa dhufe:
29 Seest thou how Ahab humbleth himself before me? because he humbleth himself before me, I will not bring the evil in his days: [but] in his son’s days will I bring the evil upon his house.
“Ati akka Ahaab fuula koo duratti gad of qabe argitee? Sababii inni gad of qabeef ani balaa kana bara isaa keessa hin fidu; garuu bara ilma isaa keessa mana isaatti nan fida.”
