< Kings III 1 >

1 And king David [was] old and advanced in days, and they covered him with clothes, and he was not warmed.
Daawit Mootichi yeroo jaaree dulloometti yoo uffata itti tuulan illee dhagni isaa hin hoʼuuf ture.
2 And his servants said, Let them seek for the king a young virgin, and she shall wait on the king, and cherish him, and lie with him, and my lord the king shall be warmed.
Kanaafuu tajaajiltoonni isaa akkana jedhaniin; “Durba qulqulluu mooticha tajaajiltuu fi kunuunsitu haa barbaannu. Isheenis gooftaa keenya mootichatti bira ciiftee isa haa hoʼiftu.”
3 So they sought for a fair damsel out of all the coasts of Israel; and they found Abisag the Somanite, and they brought her to the king.
Isaanis biyya Israaʼel guutuu keessa durba miidhagduu barbaadanii intala Abiishagi jedhamtu kan gosa Suunam tokko argatanii mootichatti fidan.
4 And the damsel was extremely beautiful, and she cherished the king, and ministered to him, but the king knew her not.
Intalattiin akka malee miidhagduu turte; isheenis mooticha kunuunsite; ni tajaajiltes; mootichi garuu ishee bira hin gaʼu ture.
5 And Adonias the son of Aggith exalted himself, saying, I will be king; and he prepared for himself chariots and horses, and fifty men to run before him.
Yeroo sanatti Adooniyaan ilmi Hagiit kan isheen Daawitiif deesse, “Ani mootii nan taʼa” jedhee ol ol of qabe. Kanaafuu inni gaariiwwanii fi fardeen akkasumas namoota fuula isaa dura fiigan shantama qopheeffate.
6 And his father never at any time checked him, saying, Why have you done [thus]? and he was also very handsome in appearance, and his mother bore him after Abessalom.
Abbaan isaa immoo, “Ati maaliif waan akkanaa goota?” jedhee gonkumaa isa ifatee hin beeku. Inni gurbaa akka malee miidhagaa kan Abesaaloomitti aanee dhalatee dha.
7 And he conferred with Joab the son of Saruia, and with Abiathar the priest, and they followed after Adonias.
Adooniyaanis Yooʼaab ilma Zeruuyaatii fi Abiyaataar lubichaan mariʼate; isaanis isa deeggaran.
8 But Sadoc the priest, and Banaeas the son of Jodae, and Nathan the prophet, and Semei, and Resi, and the mighty men of David, did not follow Adonias.
Garuu Zaadoq lubichi, Benaayaa ilmi Yehooyaadaa, Naataan raajichi, Shimeʼiin, Reeʼii fi eegdonni Daawit filatamoon Adooniyaa wajjin hin turre.
9 And Adonias sacrificed sheep and calves and lambs by the stone of Zoelethi, which was near Rogel: and he called all his brethren, and all the adult [men] of Juda, servants of the king.
Adooniyaanis dhagaa Zoohelet isa naannoo Een Roogeelitti argamu biratti hoolaa, korma looniitii fi jabboota coccoomoo aarsaa dhiʼeesse. Innis obboloota isaa ilmaan mootichaa hunda, namoota Yihuudaa kanneen qondaaltota mootichaa taʼan hunda ni waame;
10 But Nathan the prophet, and Banaeas, and the mighty [men], and Solomon his brother, he did not call.
garuu Naataan raajicha yookaan Benaayaa yookaan eegdota filatamoo yookaan obboleessa isaa Solomoonin hin waamne.
11 And Nathan spoke to Bersabee the mother of Solomon, saying, Hast you not heard that Adonias the son of Aggith reigns, and our lord David knows it not?
Ergasii Naataan akkana jedhee Batisheebaa haadha Solomoon gaafate; “Ati akka Adooniyaan ilmi Hagiitii, utuu gooftaan keenya Daawit quba hin qabaatin mootii taʼe hin dhageenyee?
12 And now come, let me, I pray, give you counsel, and you shall rescue your life, and the life of your son Solomon.
Mee amma kottu akka ati itti lubbuu keetii fi lubbuu ilma kee Solomoon oolchuu dandeessu si gorsaa.
13 Haste, and go in to king David, and you shall speak to him, saying, Hast not you, my lord, O king, sworn to your handmaid, saying, Your son Solomon shall reign after me, and he shall sit upon my throne? why then does Adonias reign?
Amma gara Daawit mootichaa dhaqiitii, ‘Yaa gooftaa koo mootii, ati, “Ilmi kee Solomoon anatti aanee dhugumaan mootii ni taʼa; teessoo koo irras ni taaʼa” jettee ana garbittii keetiif hin kakannee? Yoos Adooniyaan maaliif mootii taʼe?’ jedhiin.
14 And behold, while you are still speaking there with the king, I also will come in after you, and will confirm your words.
Anis utuma ati achitti mooticha wajjin dubbachaa jirtuu dhufee waan ati jettu sana siif mirkaneessa.”
15 So Bersabee went in to the king into the chamber: and the king was very old, and Abisag the Somanite was ministering to the king.
Kanaafuu Batisheebaan kaatee mootii dulloome sana arguuf gara kutaa Abiishagi intalli gosa Suunam sun itti isa kunuunsaa turteetti ol seente.
16 And Bersabee bowed, and did obeisance to the king; and the king said, What is your request?
Batisheebaan gad jettee fuula mootichaa duratti jilbeenfatte. Mootichis, “Ati maal barbaadda?” jedhee gaafate.
17 And she said, My lord, you did swear by the Lord your God to your handmaid, saying, Your son Solomon shall reign after me, and shall sit upon my throne.
Isheenis akkana jettee deebifteef; “Yaa gooftaa ko, ati mataan kee, ‘Ilmi kee Solomoon natti aanee mootii ni taʼa; teessoo koo irras ni taaʼa’ jettee maqaa Waaqayyo Waaqa keetiitiin ana garbittii keetiif kakattee turte.
18 And now, behold, Adonias reigns, and you, my lord, O king, know [it] not.
Amma garuu Adooniyaan mootii taʼeera; ati gooftaan koo mootichis waan kana quba hin qabdu.
19 And he has sacrificed calves and lambs and sheep in abundance, and has called all the king's sons, and Abiathar the priest and Joab the commander-in-chief of the host; but Solomon your servant he has not called.
Inni kunoo sangoota, jabboota coccoomoo fi hoolota baayʼee aarsaa dhiʼeessee ilmaan mootii hunda, Abiyaataar lubichaa fi Yooʼaab ajajaa loltootaa waameera; garuu garbicha kee Solomoonin hin waamne.
20 And you, my lord, O king, —the eyes of all Israel [are] upon you, to tell them who shall sit upon the throne of my lord the king after him.
Yaa gooftaa koo mooticha, si booddeedhaan eenyu teessoo gooftaa koo mootichaa irra akka taaʼu sirraa beekuudhaaf iji Israaʼel hundi sirra jira.
21 And it shall come to pass, when my lord the king shall sleep with his fathers, that I and Solomon my son shall be offenders.
Yoo kanaa achii yeroo gooftaan koo mootichi abbootii isaa wajjin boqotutti anii fi ilmi koo Solomoon akka nama balleessaa qabuutti ilaalamna.”
22 And behold, while she was yet talking with the king, Nathan the prophet came. And it was reported to the king,
Utuma isheen amma illee mooticha wajjin dubbachaa jirtuu Naataan raajichi ni dhufe.
23 Behold, Nathan the prophet [is here]: and he came in to the king's presence, and did obeisance to the king with his face to the ground.
Isaanis, “Naataan raajichi as jira” jedhanii mootichatti himan. Kanaafuu Naataan dhufee fuula mootichaa duratti gad jedhee harka fuudhe.
24 And Nathan said, My lord, O king, did you say, Adonias shall reign after me, and he shall sit upon my throne?
Naataanis akkana jedhe; “Yaa gooftaa koo mootii, ati, ‘Adooniyaan natti aanee mootii taʼa; teessoo koo irras ni taaʼa’ jetteertaa?
25 For he has gone down today, and has sacrificed calves and lambs and sheep in abundance, and has called all the king's sons, and the chiefs of the army, and Abiathar the priest; and, behold, they are eating and drinking before him, and they said, [Long] live king Adonias.
Inni harʼa gad buʼee sangoota, jabboota coccoomoo fi hoolota baayʼee aarsaa dhiʼeesseera. Ilmaan mootichaa hunda, ajajjoota loltootaatii fi Abiyaataar lubicha waameera. Isaan amma iyyuu isa wajjin nyaachaa dhugaa, ‘Adooniyaan mootichi bara dheeraa haa jiraatu!’ jechaa jiru.
26 But he has not invited me your servant, and Sadoc the priest, and Banaeas the son of Jodae, and Solomon your servant.
Garuu ana garbicha kee, Zaadoq lubicha, Benaayaa ilma Yehooyaadaatii fi garbicha kee Solomoonin hin waamne.
27 Has this matter happened by the authority of my lord the king, and have you not made known to your servant who shall sit upon the throne of my lord the king after him?
Egaa kun waan gooftaan koo mootichi utuu isa booddeedhaan eenyu akka teessoo gooftaa koo mootichaa irra taaʼu garbicha isaa hin beeksisin hojjeteedhaa?”
28 And king David answered and said, Call me Bersabee: and she came in before the king, and stood before him.
Daawit mootichi, “Mee Batisheebaa ol waamaa” jedhe. Kanaafuu isheen gara mootichaatti ol seentee fuula isaa dura dhaabatte.
29 And the king swore, and said, [As] the Lord lives who redeemed my soul out of all affliction,
Mootichis akkana jedhee kakateef; “Dhugaa Waaqayyo jiraataa isa rakkina hundumaa keessaa na baase sanaa,
30 as I swore to you by the Lord God of Israel, saying, Solomon your son shall reign after me, and he shall sit upon my throne in my stead, so will I do this day.
ani waan duraan maqaa Waaqayyo Waaqa Israaʼeliin siif kakadhe sana harʼa dhugumaan siif guuta. Ilmi kee Solomoon na booddeedhaan mootii taʼa; iddoo koos teessoo koo irra ni taaʼa.”
31 And Bersabee bowed with her face to the ground, and did obeisance to the king, and said, Let my lord king David live for ever.
Batisheebaanis addaan gad jettee harka fuutee fuula mootichaa duratti jilbeenfattee, “Gooftaan ko, Daawit mootichi bara baraan haa jiraatu!” jette.
32 And king David said, Call me Sadoc the priest, and Nathan the prophet, and Banaeas the son of Jodae: and they came in before the king.
Daawit mootichis, “Mee Zaadoq lubicha, Naataan raajichaa fi Benaayaa ilma Yehooyaadaa as waamaa” jedhe. Yommuu isaan fuula mootichaa duratti dhiʼaatanitti,
33 And the king said to them, Take the servants of your lord with you, and mount my son Solomon upon my own mule, and bring him down to Gion.
inni akkana isaaniin jedhe: “Garboota gooftaa keessanii of faana fudhadhaatii ilma koo Solomoonin gaangoo koo irra teessisaatii Giihoonitti gad buusaa.
34 And there let Sadoc the priest and Nathan the prophet anoint him to be king over Israel, and do you sound the trumpet, and you shall say, Let king Solomon live.
Achittis Zaadoq lubichii fi Naataan raajichi Israaʼeloota irratti mootii godhanii isa haa diban. Malakata afuufaatii, ‘Solomoon mootichi bara dheeraa haa jiraatu!’ jedhaa iyyaa.
35 And he shall sit upon my throne, and reign in my stead: and I have given charge that he should be for a prince over Israel and Juda.
Isinis ergasii isa wajjin ol baʼuu qabdu; innis dhufee teessoo koo irra taaʼee iddoo koo buʼee mootii taʼuu qaba. Ani akka inni bulchaa taʼuuf Israaʼelii fi Yihuudaa irratti isa muudeera.”
36 And Banaeas the son of Jodae answered the king and said, So let it be: may the Lord God of my lord the king confirm [it].
Benaayaa ilmi Yehooyaadaa akkana jedhee mootichaaf deebise; “Ameen! Waaqayyo Waaqni gooftaa koo mootichaa akkasuma haa jedhu.
37 As the Lord was with my lord the king, so let him be with Solomon, and let him exalt his throne beyond the throne of my lord king David.
Waaqayyo akkuma gooftaa koo mooticha wajjin ture Solomoon wajjin haa taʼu; teessoo isaas teessoo gooftaa koo Daawit mootichaa caalaa haa jabeessu!”
38 And Sadoc the priest went down, and Nathan the prophet, and Banaeas son of Jodae, and the Cherethite, and the Phelethite, and they mounted Solomon upon the mule of king David, and led him away to Gion.
Kanaafuu Zaadoq lubichi, Naataan raajichi, Benaayaa ilmi Yehooyaadaa, Kereetonnii fi Pheletonni gad buʼanii gaangoo Daawit mootichaa irra Solomoon teessisanii Giihoonitti geessan.
39 And Sadoc the priest took the horn of oil out of the tabernacle, and anointed Solomon, and blew the trumpet; and all the people said, Let king Solomon live.
Zaadoq lubichi dunkaana qulqulluu keessaa gaanfa zayitii fuudhee Solomooniin dibe. Isaanis malakata afuufanii namoonni hundi, “Solomoon mootichi bara dheeraa haa jiraatu!” jedhanii iyyan.
40 And all the people went up after him, and they danced in choirs, and rejoiced with great joy, and the earth quaked with their voice.
Namoonni hundi hamma sagalee sanaan lafti sochootutti faaggaa afuufaa gammachuu guddaadhaan isa faana ol baʼan.
41 And Adonias and all his guests heard, and they had [just] left off eating: and Joab heard the sound of the trumpet, and said, What [means] the voice of the city in tumult?
Adooniyaa fi keessummoonni isa wajjin turan akkuma nyaata isaanii fixataniin waan kana dhagaʼan. Yooʼaabis sagalee malakataa dhageenyaan, “Iyyi magaalaa keessaa kun hundi maalii?” jedhee gaafate.
42 While he was yet speaking, behold, Jonathan the son of Abiathar the priest came in: and Adonias said, Come in, for you are a mighty man, and [you come] to bring glad tidings.
Utuma inni dubbachuutti jiruu, Yonaataan ilmi Abiyaataar lubichaa ni dhufe. Adooniyaanis, “Ol seeni. Jabaan akka keetii kun oduu gaarii fiduu qabaa” jedhe.
43 And Jonathan answered and said, Verily our lord king David has made Solomon king:
Yonaataanis akkana jedhee deebise; “Akkas miti! Gooftaan keenya Daawit mootichi, Solomoonin mootii godheera.
44 and the king has sent with him Sadoc the priest, and Nathan the prophet, and Banaeas the son of Jodae, and the Cherethite, and the Phelethite, and they have mounted him on the king's mule;
Mootichis Zaadoq lubicha, Naataan raajicha, Benaayaa ilma Yehooyaadaa, Kereetotaa fi Pheletota isa wajjin erge; isaanis gaangoo mootichaa irra isa teessisan;
45 and Sadoc the priest and Nathan the prophet have anointed him in Gion, and have gone up thence rejoicing, and the city resounded: this [is] the sound which you have heard.
Zaadoq lubichii fi Naataan raajichi Giihoonitti mootii godhanii isa dibaniiru. Isaan gammachuudhaan achii ol baʼan; magaalattiinis iyya isaaniitiin sochoofamte; wacni isin dhageessan kunis kanaa dha.
46 And Solomon is seated upon the throne of the kingdom.
Kana caalaa iyyuu Solomoon teessoo mootummaa irra taaʼeera.
47 And the servants of the king have gone in to bless our lord king David, saying, God make the name of Solomon better than your name, and make his throne greater than your throne; and the king worshipped upon his bed.
Qondaaltonni mootiis, ‘Waaqni kee maqaa kee caalaa maqaa Solomoon beekamaa godhee teessoo isaa illee teessoo kee caalaa haa guddisu!’ jedhanii gooftaa keenya Daawit mooticha eebbisuuf dhufaniiru. Mootichis siree isaa irratti gad jedhee sagade;
48 Moreover thus said the king, Blessed [be] the Lord God of Israel, who has this day appointed one of my seed sitting on my throne, and my eyes see it.
innis, ‘Waaqayyo, Waaqni Israaʼel kan akka iji koo harʼa nama iddoo koo buʼee teessoo koo irra taaʼu argitu naa eeyyame sun haa eebbifamu’ jedhe.”
49 And all the guests of Adonias were dismayed, and every man went his way.
Kana irrati keessummoonni Adooniyaa hundi rifatanii kaʼanii bibittinnaaʼan.
50 And Adonias feared because of Solomon, and arose, and departed, and laid hold on the horns of the altar.
Adooniyaan garuu Solomoonin sodaatee dhaqee gaanfa iddoo aarsaa qabate.
51 And it was reported to Solomon, saying, Behold, Adonias fears king Solomon, and holds the horns of the altar, saying, Let Solomon swear to me this day, that he will not kill his servant with the sword.
Solomoonittis akkana jedhamee himame; “Adooniyaan Solomoon mooticha sodaatee gaanfa iddoo aarsaa qabatee itti cicheera. Innis, ‘Solomoon mootichi akka goraadeedhaan garbicha isaa hin ajjeefne harʼa naaf haa kakatu’ jedhe.”
52 And Solomon said, If he should be a valiant man, there shall not a hair of his fall to the ground; but if evil be found in him, he shall die.
Solomoonis, “Yoo inni amanamaa taʼuu isaa mirkaneesse rifeensa mataa isaa keessaa tokko iyyuu lafa hin buʼu; garuu yoo hamminni isa keessatti argame inni ni duʼa” jedhee deebise.
53 And king Solomon sent, and they brought him away from the altar; and he went in and did obeisance to king Solomon: and Solomon said to him, Go to your house.
Solomoon mootichis nama itti erge; isaanis iddoo aarsaa biraa gad isa fidan. Adooniyaanis dhufee fuula Solomoon mootichaa duratti gad jedhee harka fuudhe; Solomoonis, “Deemi, mana keetti gali” jedheen.
