1 Samuel 14
1 And the day comes that Jonathan son of Saul says to the young man carrying his weapons, “Come, and we pass over to the station of the Philistines, which [is] on the other side of this”; and he has not declared [it] to his father.
Gaafa tokko Yoonaataan ilmi Saaʼol dargaggeessa miʼa lolaa isaaf baatuun, “Kottu gara qubata Filisxeemotaa kan gama kaaniin jiru sanaatti ceenaa” jedhe. Inni garuu abbaa isaatti hin himne.
2 And Saul is abiding at the extremity of Gibeah, under the pomegranate which [is] in Migron, and the people who [are] with him [are] about six hundred men,
Saaʼolis Migroon keessa daarii Gibeʼaa muka Roomaanii jala taaʼaa ture. Namoonni isa wajjin turanis gara dhibba jaʼaa ti;
3 and Ahiah, son of Ahitub, brother of Ichabod, son of Phinehas son of Eli priest of YHWH in Shiloh, [was] bearing an ephod; and the people did not know that Jonathan has gone.
Ahiiyaan inni dirata uffatus isaan keessaa tokko ture. Innis ilma Ahiixuub obboleessa Iikaabood, ilma Fiinehaas ilma Eelii kan Shiiloo keessatti luba Waaqayyoo ture sanaa ti. Akka Yoonaataan deemes namni tokko iyyuu quba hin qabu ture.
4 And between the passages where Jonathan sought to pass over to the station of the Philistines [is] the edge of a rock on one side, and the edge of a rock on the other side, and the name of one is Bozez, and the name of the other Seneh.
Malkaan ittiin Yoonaataan gara qubata waraana Filisxeemotaatti ceʼuu barbaade sun bitaa fi mirgaan kattaawwan qara qaban lama qaba ture; inni tokko Bozeezi, kaan immoo Seenee jedhama.
5 One edge [is] fixed on the north in front of Michmash, and the one on the south in front of Gibeah.
Kattaan tokko karaa kaabaa fuullee Mikmaasiin, kaan immoo karaa kibbaa fuullee Gibeʼaa dhaabata ture.
6 And Jonathan says to the young man carrying his weapons, “Come, and we pass over to the station of these uncircumcised; it may be YHWH works for us, for there is no restraint to YHWH to save by many or by few.”
Yoonaataanis dargaggeessa miʼa lolaa isaaf baatuun, “Kottu gara qubata warra dhagna hin qabatin sanaatti ceenaa. Maaltu beeka Waaqayyo nu gargaara taʼaatii. Baayʼeedhaanis taʼu xinnoodhaan wanni fayyisuu irraa Waaqayyoon dhowwu tokko iyyuu hin jiru” jedhe.
7 And the bearer of his weapons says to him, “Do all that [is] in your heart; turn for yourself; behold, I [am] with you, as your own heart.”
Dargaggeessichi miʼa lolaa isaaf baatu sunis, “Waan qalbiitti yaadde hunda godhi; duubattis hin deebiʼin; anis akkuma yaada keetiitti si wajjinan jira” jedhe.
8 And Jonathan says, “Behold, we are passing over to the men, and are revealed to them;
Yoonaataanis akkana jedhe; “Egaa kottu gara isaaniitti ceenaa; isaan nu hin argan.
9 if they thus say to us, Stand still until we have come to you, then we have stood in our place, and do not go up to them;
Yoo isaan, ‘Hamma nu gara keessan dhufnuttu nu eegaa’ jedhan, asumatti isaan eegna; garuu isaanitti ol hin baanu.
10 and if they thus say, Come up against us, then we have gone up, for YHWH has given them into our hand, and this [is] the sign to us.”
Yoo isaan, ‘Gara keenyatti ol kottaa’ jedhan garuu kun akka Waaqayyo dabarsee harka keenyatti isaan kenne mallattoo waan nuu taʼuuf itti ol baana.”
11 And both of them are revealed to the station of the Philistines, and the Philistines say, “Behold, Hebrews are coming out of the holes where they have hid themselves.”
Lamaan isaanii iyyuu qubata loltoota Filisxeemotaatti of argisiisan. Filisxeemonnis, “Kunoo! Ibroonni boolla itti dhokatan keessaa baʼaa jiru” jedhan.
12 And the men of the station answer Jonathan, and the bearer of his weapons, and say, “Come up to us, and we cause you to know something.” And Jonathan says to the bearer of his weapons, “Come up after me, for YHWH has given them into the hand of Israel.”
Namoonni qubata Filisxeemotaa keessa jiranis, “Ol kottaa; waan tokko isinitti argisiisnaa!” jedhanii Yoonaataanii fi dargaggeessa miʼa lolaa isaaf baatu sanatti iyyan. Kanaaf Yoonaataan dargaggeessa miʼa lolaa isaaf baatuun, “Waaqayyo harka Israaʼelootaatti dabarsee isaan kenneeraatii na faana kottu” jedhe.
13 And Jonathan goes up on his hands, and on his feet, and the bearer of his weapons after him; and they fall before Jonathan, and the bearer of his weapons is putting [them] to death after him.
Yoonaataan harkaa fi miilla isaatiin daaʼimee ol baʼe; dargaggeessi miʼa lolaa isaaf baatus isa faana ol baʼe. Filisxeemonnis harka Yoonaataaniitiin barbadeeffaman; dargaggeessichi Yoonaataan wajjin tures isa duukaa buʼee isaan fixe.
14 And the first striking which Jonathan and the bearer of his weapons have struck is of about twenty men, in about half a furrow of a yoke of a field,
Yoonaataanii fi namichi miʼa lolaa isaaf baatu sun rukuttaa jalqabaa sana keessatti lafa qotiyyoo cimdii tokko oolchuu irratti Filisxeemota gara digdamaa taʼan ajjeesan.
15 and there is a trembling in the camp, in the field, and among all the people, the station and the destroyers have trembled—even they, and the earth shakes, and it becomes a trembling of God.
Qubata keessatti, lafa qotiisaa keessattii fi saba gidduutti naasuutu taʼe; loltoonni qubata keessa turanii fi warri balaa buusan ni hollatan; laftis ni raafamte. Naasuun sunis naasuu Waaqa biraa ergame ture.
16 And the watchmen of Saul in Gibeah of Benjamin see, and behold, the multitude has melted away, and it goes on, and is beaten down.
Yeroo sana waardiyyoonni Saaʼol kanneen biyya Beniyaam keessa Gibeʼaa turan utuu loltoonni sun karaa hundaan bittinnaaʼanii ni argan.
17 And Saul says to the people who [are] with him, “Now inspect and see; who has gone from us?” And they inspect, and behold, Jonathan and the bearer of his weapons are not.
Saaʼol namoota isa wajjin turaniin, “Mee loltoota lakkaaʼaatii nama nu keessaa deeme ilaalaa” jedhe. Yommuu lakkaaʼanittis Yoonaataanii fi namichi miʼa lolaa isaaf baatu sun achi hin turre.
18 And Saul says to Ahiah, “Bring the Ark of God near”; for the Ark of God has been with the sons of Israel on that day.
Saaʼolis Ahiiyaadhaan, “Mee taabota Waaqaa as fidi” jedhe. Yeroo sana taabonni sun Israaʼeloota harka ture.
19 And it comes to pass, while Saul spoke to the priest, that the noise which [is] in the camp of the Philistines goes on, going on and becoming great, and Saul says to the priest, “Remove your hand.”
Utuu Saaʼol lubatti dubbachaa jiruu qubata Filisxeemotaa keessatti wacni guddachaa dhufe. Kanaafuu Saaʼol lubichaan, “Harka kee gad deebifadhu” jedhe.
20 And Saul is called, and all the people who [are] with him, and they come to the battle, and behold, the sword of each has been against his neighbor—a very great destruction.
Saaʼolii fi namoonni isaa wal gaʼanii gara waraanaa deeman. Isaanis utuu Filisxeemonni burjaajaʼanii goraadee ofii isaaniitiin wal cicciranuu argan.
21 And the Hebrews [who] have been with the Philistines before the day prior, who had gone up with them into the camp, have turned around, even they, to be with Israel who [are] with Saul and Jonathan,
Ibroonni duraan Filisxeemota wajjin turanii fi isaan wajjin gara qubata isaaniitti ol baʼan sun gara Israaʼeloota warra Saaʼolii fi Yoonaataan wajjin turaniitti deebiʼan.
22 and all the men of Israel, who are hiding themselves in the hill-country of Ephraim, have heard that the Philistines have fled, and they pursue—even they—after them in battle.
Israaʼeloonni biyya gaaraa Efreem keessatti dhokatanii turan yommuu akka Filisxeemonni baqachaa jiran dhagaʼanitti, lolatti makamanii isaan ariʼan.
23 And YHWH saves Israel on that day, and the battle has passed over to Beth-Aven.
Gaafas Waaqayyo Israaʼelin ni baraare; lolli sunis Beet Aawwen darbee itti fufe.
24 And the men of Israel have been distressed on that day, and Saul adjures the people, saying, “Cursed [is] the man who eats food until the evening, and I have been avenged of my enemies”; and none of the people have tasted food.
Saaʼol, “Hamma galgalaatti, hamma ani diinota koo haaloo baafadhutti namni waa nyaatu kam iyyuu abaaramaa haa taʼu!” jedhee waan saba kakachiisee tureef gaafas namoonni Israaʼel akka malee dhiphatanii turan. Kanaafuu loltoota keessaa namni tokko iyyuu waa afaaniin hin qabne.
25 And all [those of] the land have come into a forest, and there is honey on the face of the field;
Hoomaan waraanaa hundi bosona seene; dammis lafa ture.
26 and the people come into the forest, and behold, the honey dropped, and none is moving his hand to his mouth, for the people feared the oath.
Isaanis yeroo bosona seenanitti damma yaaʼu argan; taʼus isaan waan kakaa sana sodaataniif namni tokko iyyuu harka isaa afaanitti hin geeffanne.
27 And Jonathan has not heard of his father’s adjuring the people, and puts forth the end of the rod, which [is] in his hand, and dips it in the honeycomb, and brings back his hand to his mouth—and his eyes see!
Yoonaataan garuu akka abbaan isaa namoota kakaadhaan qabe hin dhageenye ture; kanaafuu inni fiixee ulee qabatee ture sanaatiin dhaaba dammaa waraanee afaaniin muuxate; iji isaas ni ifeef.
28 And a man of the people answers and says, “Your father certainly adjured the people, saying, Cursed [is] the man who eats food today; and the people are weary.”
Ergasiis loltoota keessaa tokko, “Abbaan kee, ‘Namni harʼa waa nyaatu kam iyyuu abaaramaa haa taʼu!’ jedhee cimsee hoomaa waraanaa kakaadhaan qabeera; namoonnis kanaaf gaggaban” jedhee isatti hime.
29 And Jonathan says, “My father has troubled the land; now see that my eyes have become bright because I tasted a little of this honey.
Yoonaataan immoo akkana jedhe; “Abbaan koo biyyatti rakkina uumeera. Yommuu ani damma kana irraa xinnoo afaaniin qabetti iji koo akkamitti akka naaf ifee baname mee ilaalaa.
30 How much more if the people had well eaten today of the spoil of its enemies which it has found, for now the striking has not been great among the Philistines.”
Namoonni utuu boojuu diinota isaanii irraa fudhatan keessaa waa nyaatanii akkam gaarii ture. Silaa Filisxeemonni ajjeefaman kana caalaa baayʼatu ture mitii?”
31 And they strike on that day among the Philistines from Michmash to Aijalon, and the people are very weary,
Israaʼeloonni gaafa sana erga Mikmaasii hamma Ayaaloonitti Filisxeemota dhaʼanii booddee akka malee dadhabanii turan.
32 and the people make toward the spoil, and take sheep, and oxen, and sons of the herd, and slaughter on the earth, and the people eat with the blood.
Isaanis itti gaggabanii waan boojiʼan irratti lafa dhaʼanii hoolota, sangootaa fi jabboota lafatti qalatan; dhiiguma wajjinis nyaatan.
33 And they declare to Saul, saying, “Behold, the people are sinning against YHWH, to eat with the blood.” And he says, “You have dealt treacherously, roll a great stone to me today.”
Isaan keessaas namichi tokko, “Kunoo namoonni foon dhiiga wajjin nyaachuudhaan Waaqayyotti cubbuu hojjechaa jiru” jedhee Saaʼolitti hime. Innis, “Isin seera cabsitaniirtu! Dhagaa guddaa isaa gangalchaatii as naa fidaa” jedhe.
34 And Saul says, “Be scattered among the people, and you have said to them: Each bring his ox to me, and each his sheep; and you have slain [them] in this place, and eaten, and you do not sin against YHWH to eat with the blood.” And all the people bring [them]—each one [with] his ox in his hand, that night—and slaughter [them] there.
Ergasiis, “Isin namoota gidduu faffacaʼaatii, ‘Tokkoon tokkoon keessan sangaa fi hoolaa keessan fidaatii qalaa nyaadhaa; isin foon dhiiga isaa wajjin nyaachuudhaan Waaqayyotti cubbuu hin hojjetinaa’ isaaniin jedhaa” jedhe. Kanaafuu namni hundi halkan gaafasii sangaa isaa fidee achitti qale.
35 And Saul builds an altar to YHWH; with it he has begun to build altars to YHWH.
Saaʼolis iddoo aarsaa Waaqayyoof ijaare; waan kanas yeroo jalqabaatiif godhe.
36 And Saul says, “Let us go down after the Philistines by night, and we prey on them until the morning light, and do not leave a man of them.” And they say, “Do all that is good in your eyes.” And the priest says, “Let us draw near to God here.”
Saaʼol, “Kottaa Filisxeemota duukaa buunee hamma lafti bariʼutti isaan saamnaa; nama tokko illee lubbuun hin hambifnu” jedhe. Isaanis, “Waan gaarii sitti fakkaate hunda godhi” jedhanii deebisan. Lubichi garuu, “Asumatti Waaqa gaafanna” jedhe.
37 And Saul asks of God, “Do I go down after the Philistines? Do You give them into the hand of Israel?” And He has not answered him on that day.
Saaʼolis, “Ani Filisxeemota duukaa buʼuu? Ati dabarsitee harka Israaʼelitti isaan ni kennitaa?” jedhee Waaqa gaafate. Waaqni garuu gaafa sana deebii hin kennineef.
38 And Saul says, “Everyone draw near here, the chiefs of the people, and know and see in what this sin has been today;
Kanaafuu Saaʼol akkana jedhe; “Hooggantoonni loltootaa hundi as kottaa; cubbuu harʼa hojjetame ifatti baafnaa.
39 for YHWH lives, who is saving Israel: surely if it is in my son Jonathan, surely he certainly dies”; and none is answering him out of all the people.
Dhugaa Waaqayyo jiraataa isa Israaʼelin baraaru sanaa, yoo namni cubbuu kana hojjete ilma koo Yoonaataan illee taʼe inni duʼuu qaba.” Garuu isaan keessaa namni tokko iyyuu deebii isaaf hin kennine.
40 And he says to all Israel, “You are on one side, and I and my son Jonathan are on another side”; and the people say to Saul, “Do that which is good in your eyes.”
Saaʼolis Israaʼeloota hundaan, “Isin achi dhaabadhaa; anii fi ilmi koo Yoonaataan immoo as dhaabanna” jedhe. Namoonnis, “Waan gaarii sitti fakkaate godhi” jedhaniin.
41 And Saul says to YHWH, God of Israel, “Give perfection”; and Jonathan and Saul are captured, and the people went out.
Ergasii Saaʼol, “Deebii qajeelaa naa kenni” jedhee Waaqayyoon Waaqa Israaʼel kadhate. Ixaanis Yoonaataanii fi Saaʼolitti baʼe; namoonnis bilisa baʼan.
42 And Saul says, “Cast between me and my son Jonathan”; and Jonathan is captured.
Saaʼolis, “Anaa fi ilma koo Yoonaataan gidduutti immoo ixaa buusaa” jedhe. Ixaan sunis Yoonaataanitti baʼe.
43 And Saul says to Jonathan, “Declare to me, what have you done?” And Jonathan declares to him and says, “I certainly tasted a little honey with the end of the rod that [is] in my hand; behold, I die!”
Saaʼolis Yoonaataaniin, “Ati waan goote natti himi” jedhe. Yoonaataanis, “Ani dhugumaan fiixee ulee kootiin damma xinnoo ishee muuxadheera. Egaa ani duʼuun qabaa?” jedhee isatti hime.
44 And Saul says, “Thus God does, and thus does He add, for you certainly die, Jonathan.”
Saaʼolis Yoonaataaniin, “Yoonaataan, yoo ati dhugumaan duʼuu baatte Waaqni waan kanaa fi kan caalu iyyuu natti haa fidu” jedhe.
45 And the people say to Saul, “Does Jonathan die who worked this great salvation in Israel? Certainly not! YHWH lives, if there falls to the earth [even one] hair from his head, for with God he has worked this day”; and the people rescue Jonathan, and he has not died.
Namoonni garuu Saaʼoliin akkana jedhan; “Yonaataan namni moʼannoo guddaa kana Israaʼeliif fide duʼuu qabaa? Kun gonkumaa hin taʼu! Dhugaa Waaqayyo jiraataa, rifeensi mataa isaa tokko illee lafa hin buʼu; inni gargaarsa Waaqaatiin harʼa waan kana godheeraatii.” Namoonni akkasiin Yoonaataanin baraaran; innis hin ajjeefamne.
46 And Saul goes up from after the Philistines, and the Philistines have gone to their place;
Saaʼolis Filisxeemota ariʼuu ni dhiise; isaanis gara biyya isaaniitti dachaʼan.
47 and Saul captured the kingdom over Israel, and he fights all around against all his enemies, against Moab, and against the sons of Ammon, and against Edom, and against the kings of Zobah, and against the Philistines, and wherever he turns he distresses [them].
Saaʼol erga Israaʼel irratti mootii taʼee booddee diinota isaanii kanneen gama hundaan turan hunda jechuunis Moʼaabota, Amoonota, Edoomota, Mootota Zoobaa fi Filisxeemota lole. Lafa dhaqu hundattis isaan barbadeessa ture.
48 And he makes a force, and strikes Amalek, and delivers Israel out of the hand of its spoiler.
Gootummaadhaanis Amaaleqoota lolee moʼate; Israaʼelootas harka warra isaan saamanii jalaa baase.
49 And the sons of Saul are Jonathan, and Ishui, and Melchi-Shua; as for the name of his two daughters, the name of the firstborn [is] Merab, and the name of the younger Michal;
Ilmaan Saaʼol Yoonaataan, Yishwii fi Malkii-Shuwaa turan. Maqaan intallan isaa immoo isheen hangafni Meerab, quxisuun immoo Miikaal jedhama ture.
50 and the name of the wife of Saul [is] Ahinoam, daughter of Ahimaaz; and the name of the head of his host [is] Abner son of Ner, uncle of Saul;
Maqaan niitii isaa Ahiinooʼam jedhama ture; isheenis intala Ahiimaʼaz turte. Maqaan ajajaa waraana Saaʼol Abneer ilma Neeriti; Neer immoo obboleessa abbaa Saaʼol.
51 and Kish [is] the father of Saul, and Ner, the father of Abner, [is] the son of Ahiel.
Qiish abbaan Saaʼolii fi Neer abbaan Abneer ilmaan Abiiʼeel.
52 And the war is severe against the Philistines all the days of Saul; when Saul has seen any mighty man, and any son of valor, then he gathers him to himself.
Bara jireenya Saaʼol guutuu waraana cimaatu Filisxeemota irratti adeemsifamaa ture; Saaʼolis yommuu nama jabaa yookaan goota tokko argutti ofitti fudhatee akka isa tajaajilu godhata ture.
