Kings II 3
1 And there was war for a long time between the house of Saul and the house of David; and the house of David grew continually stronger; but the house of Saul grew continually weaker.
Mana Saaʼolii fi mana Daawit gidduu waraana bara dheeraatu ture. Yeroo Daawit jabaachaa deemetti manni Saaʼol immoo dadhabaa deeme.
2 And sons were born to David in Chebron: and his firstborn was Ammon the son of Achinoom the Jezraelitess.
Daawit Kebroonitti ijoollee dhalche; isaanis: Inni hangafni Amnoon isa Ahiinooʼam Yizriʼeelittiin deessee dha;
3 And his second son [was] Daluia, the son of Abigaia the Carmelitess; and the third, Abessalom the son of Maacha the daughter of Tholmi the king of Gessir.
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 [was] Ornia, the son of Aggith, and the fifth [was] Saphatia, the son of Abital.
afuraffaan Adooniyaa ilma Hagiit; shanaffaan Shefaaxiyaa ilma Abiixaal;
5 And the sixth [was] Jetheraam, the son of Aegal the wife of David. These were born to David in Chebron.
jaʼaffaan Yitreʼaam ilma Eglaa niitiin Daawit deessee dha. Isaan kunneen Kebroonitti Daawitiif dhalatan.
6 And it came to pass while there was war between the house of Saul and the house of David, that Abenner was governing 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, Respha, the daughter of Jol; and Jebosthe the son of Saul said to Abenner, Why have you gone in to my father's concubine?
Saaʼolis intala Ayyaa kan Riixiphaa jedhamtu saajjatoo godhatee ture. Iish-Booshetis Abneeriin, “Ati maaliif saajjatoo abbaa kootii wajjin rafte?” jedhe.
8 And Abenner was very angry with Jebosthe for this saying; and Abenner said to him, Am I a dog's head? I have this day wrought kindness with the house of Saul your father, and with his brethren and friends, and have not gone over to the house of David, and do you this day seek a charge against me concerning injury to a 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 God do thus and more also to Abenner, if as the Lord swore to David, so do I not to him this day;
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 take away the kingdom from the house of Saul, and to raise up the throne of David over Israel and over Juda from Dan to Bersabee.
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 Jebosthe could not any longer answer Abenner a word, because he feared him.
Iish-Booshet waan isa sodaateef Abneeritti waan tokko illee dubbachuu hin dandeenye.
12 And Abenner sent messengers to David to Thaelam where he was, immediately, saying, Make your covenant with me, and, behold, my hand [is] with you to bring back to you all the house of Israel.
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 And David said, With a good will I will make with you a covenant: only I demand one condition of you, saying, You shall not see my face, unless you bring Melchol the daughter of Saul, when you come to see my face.
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 And David sent messengers to Jebosthe the son of Saul, saying, Restore me my wife Melchol, whom I took for a hundred foreskins of the Philistines.
Ergasiis Daawit, “Niitii koo ishee ani misaa Filisxeemota dhibba tokkootiin kaadhimadhe Miikaalin naa ergi” jedhee Iish-Booshet ilma Saaʼolitti ergamoota erge.
15 And Jebosthe sent, and took her from her husband, [even] from Phaltiel the son of Selle.
Kanaafuu Iish-Booshet nama ergee dhirsa ishee Phaltiiʼeel ilma Laayish irraa ishee fudhate.
16 And her husband went with her weeping behind her as far as Barakim. And Abenner said to him, Go, return; and he returned.
Dhirsi ishees hamma magaalaa Bahuuriimitti booʼaa ishee duukaa buʼe. Abneeris, “Mana keetti deebiʼi!” jedheen. Kanaafuu inni ni deebiʼe.
17 And Abenner spoke to the elders of Israel, saying, In former days you sought David to reign over you;
Abneer maanguddoota Israaʼel wajjin mariʼatee akkana jedhe; “Isin kanaan dura akka Daawit mootii keessan taʼu hawwaa turtan.
18 and now perform [it]: for the Lord has spoken concerning David, saying, By the hand of my servant David I will save Israel out of the hand 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 And Abenner spoke in the ears of Benjamin: and Abenner went to speak in the ears of David at Chebron, all that seemed good in the eyes of Israel and in the eyes of the house of Benjamin.
Abneer namoota Beniyaam birattis ni dubbate. Ergasiis Kebroon dhaqee waan Israaʼeloonnii fi manni Beniyaam hundi gochuu barbaadan Daawititti hime.
20 And Abenner came to David to Chebron, and with him twenty men: and David made for Abenner and his men with him a banquet of wine.
Yommuu Abneer namoota isaa digdama wajjin Kebroon dhufetti, Daawit isaa fi namoota isaatiif cidha qopheesse.
21 And Abenner said to David, I will arise now, and go, and gather to my lord the king all Israel; and I will make with him a covenant, and you shall reign over all whom your soul desires. And David sent away Abenner, and he departed 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, behold, the servants of David and Joab arrived from their expedition, and they brought much spoil with them: and Abenner was not with David in Chebron, because he had sent him away, and he had 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 And Joab and all his army came, and it was reported to Joab, saying, Abenner the son of Ner is come to David, and David has let him go, and he has departed 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 And Joab went in to the king, and said, What [is] this [that] you have done? behold, Abenner came to you; and why have you let him go, and he has departed in peace?
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 Know you not the mischief of Abenner the son of Ner, that he came to deceive you, and to know your going out and your coming in, and to know all things that you do?
Ati Abneer ilma Neer ni beekta; inni si gowwoomsee sochii keetii fi waan ati gochaa jirtu hunda basaasuudhaaf dhufe.”
26 And Joab returned from David, and sent messengers to Abenner after [him]; and they bring him back from the well of Seiram: but David knew [it] not.
Yooʼaabis Daawit biraa baʼee Abneer duubaan ergamoota erge; isaanis boolla bishaanii kan Siiraa biraa isa deebisan. Daawit garuu waan kana hin beekne.
27 And he brought back Abenner to Chebron, and Joab caused him to turn aside from the gate to speak to him, laying wait for him: and he struck him there in the loins, and he died for the blood of Asael the brother of Joab.
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 David heard [of it] afterwards, and said, I and my kingdom are guiltless before the Lord even for ever of the blood of Abenner the son 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 it fall upon the head of Joab, and upon all the house of his father; and let there not be lacking of the house of Joab one that has an issue, or a leper, or that leans on a staff, or that falls by the sword, or that wants 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 For Joab and Abessa his brother laid wait continually for Abenner, because he killed Asael their brother at Gabaon in the battle.
Sababii inni lola Gibeʼoon irratti obboleessa isaanii Asaaheelin ajjeeseef Yooʼaabii fi obboleessi isaa Abiishaayi Abneerin ajjeesan.
31 And David said to Joab and to all the people with him, Rend your garments, and gird yourselves with sackcloth, and lament before Abenner. And king David followed the bier.
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 they bury Abenner in Chebron: and the king lifted up his voice, and wept at his tomb, and all the people wept for Abenner.
Isaanis Abneerin Kebroonitti awwaalan; mootichis awwaala Abneer irratti iyyee booʼe; namoonni hundinuus ni booʼan.
33 And the king mourned over Abenner, and said, Shall Abenner die according to the death of Nabal?
Mootichis faaruu gaddaa kana akkana jedhee Abneeriif faarse: “Abneer akka duʼa nama yaraa tokkootti duʼuu qabaa?
34 Your hands were not bound, and your feet [were] not [put] in fetters: [one] brought [you] not near as Nabal; you did fall before children of iniquity.
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 And all the people assembled to weep for him. And all the people came to cause David to eat bread while it was yet day: and David swore, saying, God do so to me, and more also, if I eat bread or any thing else before the sun goes down.
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 took notice, and all things that the king did before the people were pleasing in their sight.
Namoonni hundinuu waan kana arganii gammadan; dhugumaan wanni mootichi godhe hundi isaan gammachiise.
37 So all the people and all Israel perceived in that day, that it was not of the king to kill Abenner the son of Ner.
Kanaafuu gaafa sana namoonni hundii fi Israaʼel hundi akka ajjeefamuu Abneer ilma Neer keessatti mootichi qooda hin qabne beekan.
38 And the king said to his servants, Know you not that a great prince is this day fallen in Israel?
Mootichis namoota isaatiin akkana jedhe; “Isin akka guyyaa harʼaa ilmi mootiitii fi namni guddaan tokko Israaʼel keessaa kufe hin beeknee?
39 And that I am this day a [mere] kinsman [of his], and [as it were] a subject; but these men the sons of Saruia are too hard for me: the Lord reward the evil-doer according to his wickedness.
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!”
