Kings I 25
1 And Samuel died, and all Israel assembled, and bewailed him, and they bury him in his house in Armathaim: and David arose, and went down to the wilderness of Maon.
Saamuʼeel ni duʼe; sabni Israaʼel hundi wal gaʼee isaaf booʼe; mana isaa kan Raamaa jirutti isa awwaalan. Kana irratti Daawit achii kaʼee gara Gammoojjii Phaaraanitti gad buʼe.
2 And there was a man in Maon, and his flocks were in Carmel, and [he was] a very great man; and he had three thousand sheep, and a thousand she-goats: and he happened to be shearing his flock in Carmel.
Namni Maaʼoon kan Qarmeloos keessaa qabeenya qabu tokko akka malee sooressa ture. Innis reʼoota kuma tokkoo fi hoolota kuma sadii kanneen Qarmeloositti rifeensa irraa haadatu qaba ture.
3 And the man's name [was] Nabal, and his wife's name [was] Abigaia: and his wife [was] of good understanding and very beautiful in person: but the man [was] harsh, and evil in his doings, and the man [was] churlish.
Maqaan isaa Naabaal, kan niitii isaa immoo Abiigayiilii dha. Isheen dubartii beektuu fi bareedduu turte; dhirsi ishee garuu addaggee fi hamaa ture; gosti isaas gosa Kaaleb.
4 And David heard in the wilderness, that Nabal the Carmelite was shearing his sheep.
Daawit akka Naabaal Gammoojjii keessatti hoolota isaa irraa rifeensa haaddachaa jiruu ni dhagaʼe.
5 And David sent ten young men, and he said to the young men, Go up to Carmel, and go to Nabal, and ask him in my name how he is.
Kanaafuu akkana jedhee dargaggoota kudhan erge; “Naabaal bira gara Qarmeloos dhaqaatii maqaa kootiin nagaa isa gaafadhaa.
6 And thus shall you say, May you and your house seasonably prosper, and all your be in prosperity.
Akkanas jedhaanii: ‘Bara dheeraa jiraadhu! Nagaan siif haa taʼu; nagaan maatii keetiifis haa taʼu! Waan ati qabdu hundaafis haa taʼu!
7 And now, behold, I have heard that your shepherds who were with is in the wilderness are shearing your sheep, and we hindered them not, neither did we demand any thing from them all the time they were in Carmel.
“‘Ani amma akka yeroon kun yeroo itti hoolota irraa rifeensa haadan taʼe dhagaʼeera. Yeroo tiksoonni kee nu wajjin turanitti nu isaan hin miine; yeroo isaan Qarmeloos keessa turan guutuus wanni isaan qaban tokko iyyuu jalaa hin badne.
8 Ask your servants, and they will tell you. Let then your servants find grace in your eyes, for we are come on a good day; give we pray you, whatever your hand may find, to your son David.
Hojjettoota kee gaafadhu; isaan sitti himuutii. Kanaafuu waan nu yeroo gaarii dhufneef dargaggoota kootiif arjoomi. Maaloo tajaajiltoota keetii fi ilma kee Daawitiif waanuma amma harkaa qabdu kenni.’”
9 So the servants come and speak these words to Nabal, according to all these words in the name of David.
Namoonni Daawitis yeroo achi gaʼanitti maqaa Daawitiin dhaamsa kana Naabaalitti himanii deebii isaa eeggatan.
10 And Nabal sprang up, and answered the servants of David, and said, Who [is] David? and who [is] the son of Jessae? Now-a-days there is abundance of servants who depart every one from his master.
Naabaalis tajaajiltoota Daawitiif akkana jedhee deebise; “Daawit kun eenyu? Ilmi Isseey kun eenyu? Yeroo ammaa tajaajiltoonni hedduun gooftota isaanii jalaa badaa jiru.
11 And shall I take my bread, and my wine, and my beasts that I have slain for my shearers, and shall I give them to men of whom I know not whence they are?
Egaa ani maaliifan buddeena koo, bishaan koo fi foon namoota hoolota koo irraa rifeensa haadaniif qale namoota eessaa akka dhufan hin beekamneef kenna?”
12 So the servants of David turned back, and returned, and came and reported to David according to these words.
Namoonni Daawitis of irra garagalanii deebiʼan. Yeroo deebiʼanittis waan hunda isatti himan.
13 And David said to his men, Gird on every man his sword. And they went up after David, about four hundred men: and two hundred abode with the stuff.
Daawitis namoota isaatiin, “Goraadee keessan hidhadhaa!” jedhe. Kanaafuu isaan goraadee isaanii hidhatan; Daawitis goraadee isaa hidhate. Namoonni gara dhibba afur taʼan Daawit wajjin deeman; namoonni dhibbi lama immoo miʼa biratti hafan.
14 And one of the servants reported to Abigaia the wife of Nabal, saying, Behold, David sent messengers out of the wilderness to salute our lord; but he turned away from them.
Tajaajiltoota keessaa inni tokko akkana jedhee Abiigayiil niitii Naabaalitti hime: “Daawit akka isaan gooftaa keenyaaf nagaa dhiʼeessaniif gammoojjiidhaa ergamoota ergee ture; inni garuu akka malee isaan arrabse.
15 And the men were very good to us; they did not hinder us, neither did they demand from us any thing all the days that we were with them.
Taʼus namoonni kunneen nuuf baayʼee gaarii turan. Isaan nu hin miine; yeroo isaan wajjin bosona turre hundas wanti tokko iyyuu nu jalaa hin badne.
16 And when we were in the field, they were as a wall round about us, both by night and by day, all the days that we were with them feeding the flock.
Yeroo nu hoolota keenya isaan bira tiksaa turre hunda isaan halkanii fi guyyaa dallaa nuu taʼanii turan.
17 And now do you consider, and see what you will do; for mischief is determined against our lord and against his house; and he [is] a vile character, and one can’t speak to him.
Sababii gooftaa keenyaa fi guutummaa mana isaa balaan marseef ati amma waan gochuu dandeessu yaadi. Sababii inni nama hamaa akkanaa taʼeef namni tokko iyyuu isatti dubbachuu hin dandaʼu.”
18 And Abigaia hasted, and took two hundred loaves, and two vessels of wine, and five sheep ready dressed, and five ephahs of fine flour, and one homer of dried grapes, and two hundred cakes of figs, and put them upon asses.
Abiigayiil yeroo hin balleessine. Isheen buddeena dhibba lama, daadhii wayinii qalqalloo lama; hoolota qalmaaf qopheeffaman shan, akaayii safartuu shan, maxinoo ija wayinii dhibba tokkoo fi maxinoo ija harbuu dhibba lama fudhattee harreetti feʼatte.
19 And she said to her servants, Go on before me, and behold I come after you: but she told not her husband.
Ergasii tajaajiltoota isheetiin, “Na dursaatii deemaa; ani isinan qaqqaba” jette. Garuu dhirsa ishee Naabaalitti hin himne.
20 And it came to pass when she had mounted her ass and was going down by the covert of the mountain, behold, David and his men came down to meet her, and she met them.
Utuma isheen harree yaabbattee tulluudhaan daʼattee gad buʼaa jirtuu Daawitii fi namoonni isaa isheetti dhufan; isheenis isaan simatte.
21 And David said, Perhaps I have kept all his possessions in the wilderness that he should wrong me, and we did not order the taking anything of all his goods; yet he has rewarded me evil for good.
Daawit akkana jedhee ture; “Ani akka wanni inni qabu tokko illee jalaa hin badneef gammoojjiitti qabeenya namicha kanaa eeguun koo gatii dhabeera. Inni waan gaarii ani isaaf godheef waan hamaa naaf deebiseera.
22 So God do to David and more also, if I leave one male of all that belong to Nabal until the morning.
Yoo ani bori ganama waan kan isaa taʼe keessaa dhiira tokko illee lubbuun hambise, Waaqni Daawitin haa adabu; adabbiin sunis akka malee haa cimu!”
23 And Abigaia saw David, and she hasted and alighted from her ass; and she felt before David on her face, and did obeisance to him, [bowing] to the ground
Abiigayiil yeroo Daawitin argitetti daftee harree ishee irraa buutee adda isheetiin fuula Daawit duratti lafatti gombifamtee sagadde.
24 [even] to his feet, and said, On me, my lord, be my wrong: let, I pray you, your servant speak in your ears, and hear you the words of your servant.
Isheenis miilla isaa irratti kuftee akkana jette: “Yaa gooftaa ko, balleessaan hundi ana qofa irra haa jiraatu. Maaloo akka garbittiin kee sitti dubbattu eeyyamiif; waan garbittiin kee dubbachuu barbaaddus dhagaʼi.
25 Let not my lord, I pray you, take to heart this pestilent man, for according to his name, so is he; Nabal [is] his name, and folly [is] with him: but I your handmaid saw not the servants of my lord whom you did send.
Gooftaan koo waaʼee namicha hamaa sanaa waaʼee Naabaal homaattuu hin hedin. Inni akkuma maqaa isaa ti; hiikkaan maqaa isaas gowwaa jechuu dha. Gowwummaanis isa wajjin jira. Ani garbittiin kee garuu namoota gooftaan koo erge sana hin argine.
26 And now, my lord, [as] the Lord lives, and your soul lives, as the Lord has kept you from coming against innocent blood, and from executing vengeance for yourself, now therefore let your enemies, and those that seek evil against my lord, become as Nabal.
Akka ati dhiiga hin dhangalaafnee fi akka harka keetiin haaloo hin baafne Waaqayyo si eegeera; dhugaa Waaqayyo jiraataa; duʼa kee ti; diinonni keetii fi warri gooftaa koo miidhuu barbaadan hundi akkuma Naabaal haa taʼan.
27 And now accept this token of goodwill, which your servant has brought to my lord, and you shall give it to the servants that wait on my lord.
Kennaan garbittiin kee gooftaa kootiif fidde kunis namoota si duukaa buʼaniif haa kennamu.
28 Remove, I pray you, the trespass of your servant; for the Lord will surely make for my lord a sure house, for the Lord fights the battles of my lord, and there shall no evil be ever found in you.
“Waan gooftaan koo lola Waaqayyoo loluuf Waaqayyo gooftaa kootiif dhugumaan mootummaa bara baraa ni dhaabaatii. Maaloo balleessaa garbittii keetii dhiisiif. Bara jireenya keetii keessas yakki tokko iyyuu sirratti hin argamin.
29 And [if] a man shall rise up persecuting you and seeking your life, yet shall the life of my lord be bound up in the bundle of life with the Lord God, and you shall whirl the life of your enemies [as] in the midst of a sling.
Eenyu iyyuu lubbuu kee balleessuuf jedhee si ariʼu illee, lubbuun gooftaa koo waldaa jiraattotaa keessatti Waaqayyo Waaqa keetiin ni eegamti. Inni garuu akkuma waan wiirtuu furrisa keessaa furrifamuutti lubbuu diina keetii furrisee ni darbata.
30 And it shall be when the Lord shall have wrought for my lord all the good things he has spoken concerning you, and shall appoint you to be ruler over Israel;
Yeroo Waaqayyo akkuma gooftaa kootiif waadaa gale sanatti waan gaarii hunda godheefii Israaʼel irratti hoogganaa godhee isa muudutti,
31 then this shall not be an abomination and offense to my lord, to have shed innocent blood without cause, and for my lord to have avenged himself: and so may the Lord do good to my lord, and you shall remember your handmaid to do her good.
gooftaan koo sababii yakka malee dhiiga dhangalaasuutiin yookaan sababii haaloo baafachuutiin waan isa gaabbisiisu yookaan waan qalbii isaa tuqu tokko illee hin qabaatin. Yeroo Waaqayyo Waaqni kee gooftaa kootiif waan gaarii godhutti garbittii kee yaadadhu.”
32 And David said to Abigaia, Blessed [be] the Lord God of Israel, who sent you this very day to meet me:
Daawitis Abiigayiiliin akkana jedhe; “Waaqayyo Waaqni Israaʼel inni akka ati harʼa na argituuf natti si erge haa eebbifamu.
33 and blessed [be] your conduct, and blessed [be] you, who have hindered me this very day from coming to shed blood, and from avenging myself.
Ati sababii harʼa gorsa gaarii naa kennitee dhiiga dhangalaasuu fi harkuma kootiin haaloo baafachuu irraa na deebifteef eebbifami.
34 But surely as the Lord God of Israel lives, who hindered me this day from doing you harm, if you had not hasted and come to meet me, then I said, There shall [surely] not be left to Nabal till the morning one male.
Dhugaa Waaqayyo Waaqa Israaʼel kan isin miidhuu na dhowwe jiraataa sanaa, utuu ati daftee na arguuf dhufuu baattee silaa ilmaan Naabaal keessaa dhiirri tokko iyyuu hamma lafti bariitutti hin hambifamu ture.”
35 And David took of her hand all that she brought to him, and said to her, Go in peace to your house: see, I have listened to your voice, and accepted your petition.
Daawitis ergasii waan isheen isaaf fidde sana harka ishee irraa fuudhatee, “Nagaan gali. Ani waan ati jette dhagaʼeera; gaaffii kees fudhadheera” jedhe.
36 And Abigaia came to Nabal: and, behold, he had a banquet in this house, as the banquet of a king, and the heart of Nabal [was] merry within him, and he [was] very drunken: and she told him nothing great or small till the morning light.
Yeroo Abiigayiil gara Naabaal dhaqxetti, inni mana isaatti cidha akkuma cidha mootii tokkoo qopheessee ture. Innis gammachuudhaan guutamee akka malee machaaʼee ture. Kanaafuu isheen hamma lafti bariitutti waan tokko illee isatti hin himne.
37 And it came to pass in the morning, when Nabal recovered from his wine, his wife told him these words; and his heart died within him, and he became as a stone.
Ganama sanas yeroo machiin Naabaal irraa galetti niitiin isaa waan kana hunda itti himte; onneen isaas ni dhaabatte; innis akkuma dhagaa taʼe.
38 And it came to pass after about ten days, that the Lord struck Nabal, and he died.
Bultii kudhan booddee Waaqayyo Naabaalin dhaʼe; innis ni duʼe.
39 And David heard it and said, Blessed [be] the Lord, who has judged the cause of my reproach at the hand of Nabal, and has delivered his servant from the power of evil; and the Lord has returned the mischief of Nabal upon his own head. And David sent and spoke concerning Abigaia, to take her to himself for a wife.
Daawitis yeroo akka Naabaal duʼe dhagaʼetti, “Waaqayyo isa arrabsoo Naabaal haaloo naaf baaseef galanni haa gaʼu. Inni garbicha isaa yakka hojjechuu dhowwee yakka Naabaal matuma isaatti deebiseeraatii” jedhe. Daawitis akka isheen niitii isaaf taatu gaafachuuf Abiigayiilitti ergaa erge.
40 So the servants of David came to Abigaia to Carmel, and spoke to her, saying, David has sent us to you, to take you to himself for a wife.
Tajaajiltoonni isaas Qarmeloos dhaqanii Abiigayiiliin, “Daawit akka ati isaaf niitii taatuuf akka nu isatti si geessinuuf sitti nu erge” jedhan.
41 And she arose, and did reverence with her face to the earth, and said, Behold, your servant [is] for an handmaid to wash the feet of your servants.
Isheenis adda isheetiin lafatti gombifamtee, “Garbittiin kee kunoo ti; ani si tajaajiluu fi miilla tajaajiltoota gooftaa koo dhiquuf qophaaʼeera” jette.
42 And Abigaia arose, and mounted her ass, and five damsels followed her: and she went after the servants of David, and became his wife.
Abiigayiilis daftee harree yaabbattee tajaajiltoota ishee dubara shan qabattee ergamoota Daawit wajjin deebitee dhaqxee Daawitiif niitii taate.
43 And David took Achinaam out of Jezrael, and they were both his wives.
Akkasumas Daawit biyya Yizriʼeel keessaa Ahiinooʼamin fuudhe; lamaan isaanii iyyuu niitota taʼaniif.
44 And Saul gave Melchol his daughter, David's wife, to Phalti the son of Amis who was of Romma.
Saaʼol garuu Miikaal intala isaa kan niitii Daawit turte sana Phaltiiʼeel ilma Laayish kan lammii Galiim ture sanatti heerumsiise.
