1 Kings 20
1 And Ben-Hadad king of Aram has gathered all his force, and thirty-two kings [are] with him, and horse and chariot, and he goes up and lays siege against Samaria, and fights with it,
Yeroo kanatti Ben-Hadaad mootichi Sooriyaa loltoota ofii isaa guutuu walitti qabate. Mootonni soddomii lama kanneen fardeenii fi gaariiwwan qabanis isa wajjin turan. Innis dhaqee Samaariyaa marsee lole.
2 and sends messengers to Ahab king of Israel, to the city,
Innis akkana jedhee gara magaalaa Ahaab mooticha Israaʼelitti ergamoota erge; “Wanni Ben-Hadaad jedhu kanaa dha;
3 and says to him, “Thus said Ben-Hadad: Your silver and your gold are mine, and your wives and your sons—the best—are mine.”
‘Meetiin keetii fi warqeen kee kanuma koo ti; niitonni keetii fi ijoolleen kee babbareedoonis kanuma koo ti.’”
4 And the king of Israel answers and says, “According to your word, my lord, O king: I [am] yours, and all that I have.”
Mootiin Israaʼel immoo, “Yaa gooftaa koo mooticha, akkuma ati jette sana anii fi wanni ani qabu hundi keetuma” jedhee deebiseef.
5 And the messengers turn back and say, “Thus spoke Ben-Hadad, saying, Surely I sent to you, saying, Your silver, and your gold, and your wives, and your sons, you give to me;
Ergamoonni sun ammas dhufanii akkana jedhaniin; “Wanni Ben-Hadaad jedhu kanaa dha; ‘Ani akka ati meetii fi warqee kee, niitotaa fi ijoollee kee naaf kennituuf ergaa sitti ergeera.
6 for if, at this time tomorrow, I send my servants to you, then they have searched your house, and the houses of your servants, and it has been [that] every desirable thing of your eyes they place in their hand, and have taken [them] away.”
Garuu ani bor yoona masaraa mootummaa keetiitii fi manneen qondaaltota keetii soquuf qondaaltota koo nan erga. Isaanis waan ati jaallattu hunda fudhatanii deemu.’”
7 And the king of Israel calls to all [the] elderly of the land and says, “Please know and see that this [one] is seeking evil, for he sent to me for my wives, and for my sons, and for my silver, and for my gold, and I did not withhold from him.”
Mootichi Israaʼel immoo maanguddoota biyya sanaa hunda walitti waamee akkana jedheen; “Akka namichi kun rakkina uumuu barbaadu mee isinuu ilaalaa! Yeroo inni niitotaa fi ijoollee koo, meetii fi warqee koo fudhachuuf nama ergetti ani hin dhowwanne.”
8 And all the elderly and all the people say to him, “Do not listen, nor consent.”
Maanguddoonnii fi namoonni hundinuu, “Ati dubbii isaa hin dhagaʼin yookaan waan inni barbaadu tole hin jedhin” jedhaniin.
9 And he says to the messengers of Ben-Hadad, “Say to my lord the king, All that you sent to your servant for at the first I do, and this thing I am not able to do”; and the messengers go and take him back word.
Kanaafuu inni, “‘Garbichi kee waan ati jalqabatti ajajje hunda ni guuta; ani garuu waan ati amma gaafatte kana gochuu hin dandaʼu’ jedhaatii gooftaa koo mootichatti himaa” jedhee ergamoota Ben-Hadaadiif deebii kenne. Isaanis kaʼanii deebii sana fuudhanii Ben-Hadaaditti geessan.
10 And Ben-Hadad sends to him and says, “Thus the gods do to me, and thus do they add, if the dust of Samaria suffice for handfuls for all the people who [are] at my feet.”
Ben-Hadaad immoo, “Yoo biyyoon Samaariyaa namoota koo warra na duukaa buʼan konyee tokko tokko illee wal gaʼe, waaqonni na haa adaban; adabbiin sunis akka malee natti haa cimu” jedhee ergaa biraa Ahaabitti erge.
11 And the king of Israel answers and says, “Speak: Do not let him who is girding on boast himself as him who is loosing [his armor].”
Mootiin Israaʼelis, “‘Namni miʼa lolaa hidhachaa jiru tokko akka nama miʼa lolaa of irraa hiikaa jiru tokkootti of jajuu hin qabu’ jedhaatii itti hima” jedhee deebise.
12 And it comes to pass at the hearing of this word—and he is drinking, he and the kings, in the shelters—that he says to his servants, “Set yourselves”; and they set themselves against the city.
Ben-Hadaadis utuma mootota wajjin dunkaana keessatti waa dhugaa jiruu ergaa kana dhagaʼee, “Isin lolaaf qophaaʼaa” jedhee namoota ofii isaa ajaje. Kanaafuu isaan magaalaa sana dhaʼuuf qophaaʼan.
13 And behold, a certain prophet has come near to Ahab king of Israel and says, “Thus said YHWH: Have you seen all this great multitude? Behold, I am giving it into your hand today, and you have known that I [am] YHWH.”
Yeroo kanatti raajiin tokko gara Ahaab mooticha Israaʼel dhufee, “Waaqayyo akkana jedha: ‘Ati loltoota akka malee baayʼatan kana argitaa? Ani harʼa dabarsee harka keetti isaan nan kenna; atis ergasii akka ani Waaqayyo taʼe ni beekta’” jedhe.
14 And Ahab says, “By whom?” And he says, “Thus said YHWH: By the young men of the heads of the provinces”; and he says, “Who directs the battle?” And he says, “You.”
Ahaab garuu, “Eenyutu waan kana hojjeta?” jedhee gaafate. Raajiin sunis, “Waaqayyo akkana jedha; ‘Tajaajiltoota bulchitoota kutaalee biyyaa kanneen dargaggoo taʼanitu waan kana hojjeta’” jedhee deebiseef. Innis, “Eenyutu lola jalqaba?” jedhee gaafate. Raajiin sunis, “Situ jalqaba” jedhee deebiseef.
15 And he inspects the young men of the heads of the provinces, and they are two hundred and thirty-two, and after them he has mustered all the people, all the sons of Israel—seven thousand,
Kanaafuu Ahaab tajaajiltoota bulchitoota kutaalee biyyaa kanneen dargaggoo taʼan dhibba lamaa fi soddomii lama walitti waame. Ergasiis Israaʼeloota hafan keessaa walumaa galatti namoota kuma torba walitti qabe.
16 and they go out at noon, and Ben-Hadad is drinking—drunk in the shelters, he and the kings, the thirty-two kings helping him.
Isaanis utuma Ben-Hadaadii fi mootonni soddomii lama kanneen isa tumsan dunkaana keessatti dhuganii machaaʼaa jiranuu guyyaa saafaadhaan itti qajeelan.
17 And the young men of the heads of the provinces go out at the first, and Ben-Hadad sends, and they declare to him, saying, “Men have come out of Samaria.”
Tajaajiltoonni bulchitoota kutaalee biyyaa kanneen dargaggoo taʼanis jalqabatti gad baʼan. Ben-Hadaadis gaaddota ergee ture; isaanis deebiʼanii, “Namoonni muraasni Samaariyaadhaa baʼanii dhufuutti jiru” jedhanii isatti himan.
18 And he says, “If they have come out for peace, catch them alive; and if they have come out for battle, catch them alive.”
Inni immoo, “Yoo isaan nagaaf dhufan utuma isaan lubbuun jiranuu isaan qabaa; yoo isaan lolaaf dhufanis akkasuma utuma isaan lubbuun jiranuu qabaa” jedhe.
19 And these have gone out of the city—the young men of the heads of the provinces—and the force that [is] after them,
Tajaajiltoonni bulchitoota kutaalee biyyaa kanneen dargaggoo taʼan sunis loltoota dura buʼanii magaalaa sanaa baʼan;
20 and each strikes his man, and Aram flees, and Israel pursues them, and Ben-Hadad king of Aram escapes on a horse—and the horsemen;
tokkoon tokkoon isaaniis diina isaanii dhaʼanii ajjeesan. Kana irratti warri Sooriyaa ni baqatan; Israaʼeloonni immoo isaan ariʼan. Ben-Hadaad mootichi Sooriyaa garuu farda yaabbatee abbootii fardaa wajjin baqatee jalaa baʼe.
21 and the king of Israel goes out, and strikes the horses, and the charioteers, and has struck among the Arameans a great striking.
Mootiin Israaʼel ittuma fufee abbootii fardaatii fi gaariiwwanii lolee moʼachuudhaan warra Sooriyaa akka malee miidhe.
22 And the prophet comes near to the king of Israel and says to him, “Go, strengthen yourself, and know and see that which you do, for at the turn of the year the king of Aram is coming up against you.”
Ergasii raajiin sun gara mooticha Israaʼel dhufee, “Of jabeessi; waan gochuu qabdus sirriitti hubadhu; mootiin Sooriyaa bara dhufu keessa deebiʼee si lolaatii” jedhe.
23 And the servants of the king of Aram said to him, “Their gods [are] gods of hills, therefore they were stronger than us; and yet, we fight with them in the plain—are we not stronger than they?
Yeroo kanatti qondaaltonni mootii Sooriyaa akkana jedhanii isa gorsan; “Waaqonni isaanii waaqota gaarranii ti. Sababiin isaan akka malee nutti jabaataniif kana. Nu yoo lafa diriiraa irratti isaan lolle garuu dhugumaan isaan caalaa jabaanna.
24 And this thing you do: turn aside each of the kings out of his place, and set captains in their stead;
Ati amma waan kana godhi: Mootota hunda aangoo isaanii irraa ariʼiitii iddoo isaanii ajajjoota kaan buusi.
25 and you, number for yourself a force as the force that is fallen from you, and horse for horse, and chariot for chariot, and we fight with them in the plain; are we not stronger than they?” And he listens to their voice, and does so.
Akkasumas loltoota akka loltoota kee kanneen dhuman sanaa jechuunis qooda fardaa farda, qooda gaarii immoo gaarii qopheessi. Akkasiin nu dirree irratti Israaʼelin loluu dandeenya; isaan caalaas ni jabaanna.” Innis dubbii isaanii fudhatee akkuma isaan jedhan sana godhe.
26 And it comes to pass at the turn of the year, that Ben-Hadad inspects the Arameans, and goes up to Aphek, to battle with Israel,
Bara itti aanu keessa Ben-Hadaad namoota Sooriyaa walitti qabatee Israaʼelin loluuf Afeeqitti ol baʼe.
27 and the sons of Israel have been inspected, and supported, and go to meet them, and the sons of Israel encamp before them, like two flocks of goats, and the Arameans have filled the land.
Israaʼeloonnis walitti qabamanii waan nyaatan qabatanii jaratti duulan. Israaʼeloonni akkuma bushaayee karra xixinnaa lamaatti fuullee isaanii qubatan; warri Sooriyaa garuu baadiyyaa keessa guutan.
28 And a man of God comes near, and speaks to the king of Israel and says, “Thus said YHWH: Because that the Arameans have said, YHWH [is] God of [the] hills, but He [is] not God of [the] valleys—I have given the whole of this great multitude into your hand, and you have known that I [am] YHWH.”
Namni Waaqaa sunis dhufee mootii Israaʼeliin akkana jedhe; “Waaqayyo akkana jedha; ‘Sababii warri Sooriyaa Waaqayyo Waaqa gaarraniiti malee Waaqa sululootaa miti jedhaniif, ani tuuta akka malee guddaa kana hunda dabarsee harka keetti nan kenna; isinis akka ani Waaqayyo taʼe ni beektu.’”
29 And they encamp opposite one another [for] seven days, and it comes to pass on the seventh day, that the battle draws near, and the sons of Israel strike one hundred thousand footmen of Aram in one day.
Isaanis bultii torbaaf fuullee walii qubatanii, bultii torbaffaatti waraanni jalqabame. Israaʼeloonnis guyyuma tokkotti warra Sooriyaa keessaa loltoota lafoo kuma dhibba tokko ajjeesan.
30 And those left flee to Aphek, into the city, and the wall falls on twenty-seven chief men who are left, and Ben-Hadad has fled, and comes into the city, into the innermost part.
Warri hafan kaan magaalaa Afeeqitti baqatanii achittis nama kuma digdamii torba irratti dallaan dhagaa jige. Ben-Hadaad immoo magaalaa sanatti baqatee kutaa mana tokkoo kan gara keessaa keessatti dhokate.
31 And his servants say to him, “Now behold, we have heard that the kings of the house of Israel—that they are kind kings; please let us put sackcloth on our loins and ropes on our heads, and we go out to the king of Israel; it may be he keeps you alive.”
Qondaaltonni isaas akkana jedhaniin; “Ilaa, nu akka mootonni mana Israaʼel mootota nama maaran taʼan dhageenyeerra. Mee kottaa nu mudhii keenyatti uffata gaddaa hidhannee, mataa keenyatti immoo funyoo marannee mootii Israaʼel bira haa dhaqnu. Inni lubbuu kee ni oolcha taʼaatii.”
32 And they gird sackcloth on their loins, and ropes [are] on their heads, and they come to the king of Israel, and say, “Your servant Ben-Hadad has said, Please let me live”; and he says, “Is he still alive? He [is] my brother.”
Kanaafuu isaan mudhii isaaniitti uffata gaddaa hidhatanii, mataa isaaniitti funyoo maratanii mootii Israaʼel bira dhaqanii, “Garbichi kee Ben-Hadaad, ‘Maaloo lubbuu koo naa oolchi’ siin jedha” jedhaniin. Mootichi immoo, “Inni hamma ammaattuu lubbuun jiraa? Inni obboleessa koo ti” jedhee deebise.
33 And the men observe diligently, and hurry, and catch [the word] from him, and say, “Your brother Ben-Hadad”; and he says, “Go in, bring him”; and Ben-Hadad comes out to him, and he causes him to come up on the chariot.
Namoonni sunis waan kana akka mallattoo gaariitti fudhatanii dubbii isaa dafanii qabatanii “Eeyyee, Ben-Hadaad obboleessa kee ti!” jedhan. Mootichis, “Dhaqaatii isa fidaa” jedhe. Yommuu Ben-Hadaad dhufettis Ahaab akka inni ol baʼee gaarii isaa keessa seenu godhe.
34 And he says to him, “The cities that my father took from your father, I give back, and you make streets for yourself in Damascus, as my father did in Samaria; and I, with a covenant, send you away”; and he makes a covenant with him, and sends him away.
Ben-Hadaadis akkana jedheen; “Ani magaalaawwan abbaan koo abbaa kee irraa fudhate sana siifin deebisa. Akkuma abbaan koo Samaariyaa keessatti hojjete sana, ati Damaasqoo keessatti lafa gabaa ofii keetii dhaabbachuu dandeessa.” Ahaab immoo, “Ani walii galteedhaan gad si dhiisa” jedheen. Kanaafuu isa wajjin walii galtee godhatee gad isa dhiise.
35 And a certain man of the sons of the prophets said to his neighbor by the word of YHWH, “Please strike me”; and the man refuses to strike him,
Ilmaan raajotaa keessaa tokko ajaja Waaqayyootiin michuu isaa tokkoon, “Maaloo na dhaʼi” jedhe. Namichi sun garuu isa dhaʼuu dide.
36 and he says to him, “Because that you have not listened to the voice of YHWH, behold, you are going from me, and the lion has struck you”; and he goes from him, and the lion finds him, and strikes him.
Kanaafuu raajiin sun, “Waan ati dubbii Waaqayyootiif hin ajajamniif akkuma ati na biraa deemtuun leenci si ajjeesa” jedheen. Erga namichi kaʼee deemee booddee leenci dhufee isa argate isa ajjeese.
37 And he finds another man and says, “Please strike me”; and the man strikes him, striking and wounding,
Raajiin sun nama biraa argee, “Maaloo na dhaʼi” jedheen. Kanaafuu namichi sun dhaʼee isa madeesse.
38 and the prophet goes and stands for the king on the way, and disguises himself with ashes on his eyes.
Ergasii raajiin sun ija haguuggatee eenyummaa isaa dhokfatee dhaqee qarqara karaa dhaabatee mooticha eegaa ture.
39 And it comes to pass—the king is passing by—that he has cried to the king and says, “Your servant went out into the midst of the battle, and behold, a man has turned aside and brings a man to me, and says, Keep this man; if he is at all missing, then your life has been for his life, or you weigh out a talent of silver;
Utuma mootichi karaa sana darbaa jiruu raajiin sun isa waamee akkana jedheen; “Garbichi kee lola walakkaa seenee jennaan namni tokko nama boojiʼame tokko fidee, ‘Namicha kana eegi. Yoo inni bade lubbuun kee qooda lubbuu isaa baafamti yookaan meetii taalaantii tokkoo baafta’ jedhe.
40 and it comes to pass, your servant is working here and there, and he is not!” And the king of Israel says to him, “Your judgment [is] right; you have determined [it].”
Namichi sunis utuu garbichi kee hojiin qabamee asii fi achi fiigaa jiruu bade.” Mootichi Israaʼelis deebisee, “Wanni sitti murtaaʼu sanuma; ati mataan kee iyyuu murteerta” jedheen.
41 And he hurries and turns aside the ashes from off his eyes, and the king of Israel discerns him, that he [is] of the prophets,
Raajiin sunis dafee ija isaa irraa haguuggii gad buufate; mootichi Israaʼelis akka inni raajota keessaa isa tokko taʼe hubate.
42 and he says to him, “Thus said YHWH: Because you have sent away the man I devoted, out of [your] hand, even your life has been for his life, and your people for his people”;
Innis mootichaan akkana jedhe; “Waaqayyo akkana jedha: ‘Ati namicha ani akka inni duʼu itti mure gad lakkifteerta. Kanaafuu lubbuun kee qooda lubbuu isaa, sabni kees qooda saba isaa galaafatama.’”
43 and the king of Israel goes to his house, sulky and angry, and comes to Samaria.
Mootichi Israaʼel sunis akka malee aaree dheekkamaa gara masaraa mootummaa isaa kan Samaariyaa keessa jiru sanaa dhaqe.
