2 Samuel 19
1 It was told Joab, "Look, the king weeps and mourns for Absalom."
Yooʼaabittis, “Daawit mootichi Abesaaloomiif booʼuu fi gadduutti jira” jedhamee himame.
2 The victory that day was turned into mourning to all the people; for the people heard it said that day, "The king grieves for his son."
Sababii guutummaan loltootaa oduu, “Mootichi ilma isaatiif gaddaa jira” jedhu dhagaʼeef moʼichi gaafa sanaa gaddatti geeddarame.
3 So the people went quietly into the city that day, the way that people who are humiliated creep away when fleeing in battle.
Gaafa sana sabni hundis akkuma loltoota moʼatamanii qaanaʼuudhaan baqatanii magaalaa seenaniitti qaanaʼee magaalaa seene.
4 The king covered his face, and he cried with a loud voice, "My son Absalom, Absalom, my son."
Mootichis fuula isaa haguuggatee, “Yaa ilma koo Abesaaloom! Yaa Abesaaloom ilma ko, yaa ilma koo!” jedhee sagalee ol fudhatee booʼe.
5 Then Joab went into the house to the king, and said, "Today you have humiliated the faces of all your servants, who have this day saved your life and the lives of your sons and of your daughters and the lives of your wives and the lives of your secondary wives;
Yooʼaab gara mootichaa mana ol seenee akkana jedhe; “Ati harʼa fuula namoota kee kanneen lubbuu kee, lubbuu ilmaan keetiitii fi intallan keetii, lubbuu niitota keetiitii fi saajjatoowwan keetii oolchan sana hundaa qaaniidhaan haguugdeerta.
6 by loving those who hate you and hating those who love you. For you have made it clear today that commanders and servants are nothing to you. For you know that if Absalom were alive today, and all of us had died, then you would be pleased.
Ati warra si jibban jaallattee warra si jaallatan immoo jibbiteerta. Ati akka ajajjoota loltoota keetiitii fi namoota isaanii wayittuu hin hedne harʼa mirkaneessiteerta. Harʼa utuu hundi keenya duunee Abesaaloom jiraatee ati akka gammaddu ani nan arga.
7 Now therefore get up, go out and speak kindly to your servants. For I swear by the LORD, if you do not go out, not a man will remain with you this night, and that will be worse for you than all the evil that has happened to you from your youth until now."
Amma gad baʼiitii namoota kee jajjabeessi. Yoo ati gad baʼuu baatte akka edana namni tokko iyyuu si biratti hin hafne ani maqaa Waaqayyootiin nan kakadha. Kun immoo rakkina ati ijoollummaa keetii jalqabdee hamma ammaatti keessa dabarte hunda caalaa hammaata.”
8 So the king got up and sat at the gate. And all the people were informed, saying, "Look, the king is sitting at the gate." And all the people came before the king. Meanwhile, Israel had fled each man to his tent.
Kanaafuu mootichi kaʼee karra dura taaʼe. Namoonni hundinuus yommuu, “Mootichi karra dura taaʼee jira” jedhamee itti himametti isa bira dhufan. Yeroo sanatti Israaʼeloonni hundi gara mana isaaniitti baqatanii turan.
9 All the people were at strife throughout all the tribes of Israel, saying, "The king delivered us out of the hand of our enemies, and he saved us out of the hand of the Philistines, but now he has fled from the land and from being over his kingdom.
Guutummaa gosoota Israaʼel keessatti namoonni hundinuu akkana jedhanii wal falmaa turan; “Mootichi harka diinota keenyaa jalaa nu baaseera; namni harka Filisxeemotaa jalaa nu baases isuma. Amma garuu inni sababii Abesaaloomiitiif biyyaa baqateera;
10 And Absalom, whom we anointed over us, is dead in battle. Now therefore why do you not speak a word of bringing the king back?" And the talk of all Israel came to the king.
Abesaaloom inni nu akka inni bulchaa keenya taʼuuf jennee dibne sun immoo lola irratti duʼeera. Kanaafuu waaʼee mooticha as deebisuu irratti isin maaliif waan tokko hin mariʼanne?”
11 So king David sent to Zadok and to Abiathar the priests, saying, "Speak to the elders of Judah, saying, 'Why are you the last to bring the king back to his palace?
Daawit mootichis akkana jedhee ergaa kana Zaadoqii fi Abiyaataar lubootatti erge; “Akkana jedhaatii maanguddoota Yihuudaa gaafadhaa; ‘Wanni guutummaa Israaʼel keessatti odeeffamaa jiru gurra mootichaa qaqqabeeraatii isin maaliif mooticha mana mootummaa isaatti deebisuu irratti duubatti haftani?
12 You are my brothers, you are my bone and my flesh. Why then are you the last to bring back the king?'
Isin obboloota koo, foon kootii fi dhiiga koo ti; yoos mooticha fiduu irratti maaliif duubatti harkifattan ree?’
13 And say to Amasa, 'Aren't you my bone and my flesh? Now then, God do so to me, and more also, if you aren't commander of the army before me continually in place of Joab. '"
Amaasaanis, ‘Ati foonii fi dhiiga koo mitii? Yoo ani ammaa jalqabee iddoo Yooʼaab ajajaa loltoota koo si gochuu baadhe, Waaqni waan hamaa natti haa fidu; waan caalu illee natti haa fidu.’”
14 Thus the heart of all the men of Judah was inclined as one man, so that they sent a message to the king, "Return, you and all your servants."
Mootichis akkuma garaa nama tokkootti garaa namoota Yihuudaa hundaa boojiʼe. Isaanis, “Namoota kee hunda wajjin deebiʼi” jedhanii mootichatti ergan.
15 So the king returned and came to the Jordan. And Judah came to Gilgal, having come down to meet the king, to bring the king across the Jordan.
Mootichis biyyatti deebiʼee hamma Yordaanositti dhufe. Namoonni Yihuudaas mooticha simatanii Yordaanosin ceesisanii fiduuf hamma Gilgaalitti dhufan.
16 And Shimei the son of Gera, the Benjamite who was from Bahurim, hurried and came down with the men of Judah to meet king David,
Shimeʼiin namichi Bahuuriim ilmi Geeraa kan gosa Beniyaam sunis mooticha simachuuf namoota Yihuudaa wajjin dafee gad buʼe.
17 and a thousand men from Benjamin with him. But Ziba the servant of the house of Saul, and his fifteen sons and his twenty servants with him, waded through the Jordan ahead of the king,
Isa wajjinis Beniyaamota kuma tokko akkasumas Ziibaa tajaajilaa maatii Saaʼol, ilmaan isaa kudha shananii fi hojjettoota isaa digdamatu ture. Isaanis mooticha dursanii Yordaanosin ceʼan.
18 and did the work of bringing the king across and to do whatever he wished. And Shimei the son of Gera fell down before the king, when he crossed the Jordan.
Isaanis maatii mootichaa simachuu fi waan inni barbaadu isaaf gochuuf malkaa ceʼan. Shimeʼiin ilmi Geeraa yommuu Yordaanosin ceʼetti mooticha duratti kufee
19 Then he said to the king, "May my lord not consider punishment. Do not remember what your servant did wrong on the day when my lord the king left Jerusalem, so that the king should call it to mind.
akkana isaan jedhe; “Gooftaan koo balleessaa natti hin herregin. Balleessaa garbichi kee yeroo ati gooftaan koo mootichi Yerusaalemii baatetti hojjete garaatti hin qabatin. Mootichi waan sana yaada isaa keessaa haa baasu.
20 For your servant knows that I have sinned. Therefore, look, I have come today the first of all the house of Joseph to come down to meet my lord the king."
Ani garbichi kee cubbuu hojjechuu koo beekaatii; harʼa garuu ani mana Yoosef hunda keessaa gooftaa koo mooticha simachuuf nama jalqabaa taʼee dhufeera.”
21 But Abishai the son of Zeruiah replied, "Should not Shimei be put to death for this, because he cursed the LORD's anointed?"
Abiishaayi ilmi Zeruuyaas, “Shimeʼiin sababii nama Waaqayyo dibe abaareef amma duʼuun isaaf hin maluu?” jedhe.
22 But David replied, "What does this have to do with you, you sons of Zeruiah, that you should become my adversaries today? Should anyone be put to death in Israel today? For do you not know that today I begin to rule over Israel?"
Daawit immoo deebisee, “Yaa ilmaan Zeruuyaa anii fi isin maal wal irraa qabna? Isin yeroo ammaa diinota natti taataniirtu! Harʼa namni tokko iyyuu Israaʼel keessatti ajjeefamuu qabaa? Ani guyyaa harʼaa Israaʼel irratti mootii taʼuu koo hin beekuu?” jedhe.
23 Then the king said to Shimei, "You will not die." And the king gave him his oath.
Kanaafuu mootichi Shimeʼiidhaan, “Ati duʼuu hin qabdu” jedhe. Kanas kakaadhaan mirkaneesseef.
24 Now Mippibaal son of Jonathan son of Saul came down to meet the king, and he had neither cared for his feet nor trimmed his beard nor washed his clothes, from the day the king departed until the day he came back safely.
Mefiibooshet akaakayyuun Saaʼolis mooticha simachuuf gad buʼe. Inni gaafa mootichi Yerusaalemii baʼee jalqabee hamma mootichi deebiʼutti miilla isaatiif eegumsa barbaachisaa hin goone yookaan areeda hin haaddanne yookaan uffata isaa hin miiccanne ture.
25 And it happened when he came to Jerusalem to meet the king, that the king said to him, "Why did you not go with me, Mippibaal?"
Yeroo inni mooticha simachuuf Yerusaalemii dhufettis mootichi, “Mefiibooshet, ati maaliif na wajjin hin deemne?” jedhee isa gaafate.
26 So he answered, "My lord king, my servant deceived me. For your servant said to him, 'Saddle a donkey for me so that I may ride on it and go with the king,' for your servant is lame.
Innis akkana jedhee deebise; “Yaa gooftaa koo mooticha, ani garbichi kee waanan naafa taʼeef, ‘Akka ani yaabbadhee mooticha faana deemuu dandaʼuuf harreen koo naaf haa feʼamu’ jedheen ture. Ziibaan tajaajilaan koo garuu na gowwoomse.
27 And he has slandered your servant to my lord the king. But my lord the king did that which was good in my eyes, like an angel of God.
Inni gooftaa koo mooticha durattis garbicha kee maqaa balleesseera; gooftaan koo mootichi akkuma ergamaa Waaqayyoo ti; kanaafuu waan barbaadde hunda godhi.
28 For though all my father's house were but men doomed to death before my lord the king, yet you placed your servant among those who eat at your table. From whom, then, could I have finer treatment?" But when he cried out to the king,
Silaa wanni maatiin abbaa kootii hundinuu mooticha irraa argachuu malan duʼa qofa ture. Ati garuu ana garbicha kee warra maaddii kee irraa nyaatan wajjin teessifte. Kana caalaa wanni ani akka naa godhamuuf mooticha gaafachuuf mirga qabu maalii?”
29 the king said, "Why do you multiply your words? I say: You and Ziba divide the property."
Mootichis, “Maaliif dubbii dheeressita? Ani akka atii fi Ziibaan lafa hunda gargar qooddattan ajajeera” jedheen.
30 And Mippibaal said to the king, "Yes, let him take it all, since my lord the king has come safely home."
Mefiibooshet immoo mootichaan, “Amma erga gooftaan koo mootichi nagaan deebiʼee inni waan hunda haa fudhatu” jedhe.
31 Now Barzillai the Gileadite had come down from Rogelim, and he went with the king to conduct him from the Jordan.
Namichi gosa Giliʼaad kan Barzilaay jedhamu tokkos Rogeliimii gad buʼe; innis mooticha geggeessuuf isa wajjin Yordaanos ceʼe.
32 Now Barzillai was a very old man, eighty years old; and he had provided for the king while he was staying at Mahanaim, for he was a very rich man.
Barzilaayiin jaarsa dulloomaa waggaa saddeettama ture. Innis waan nama sooressa tureef yeroo mootichi Mahanayiim jiraatetti waan inni nyaatu dhiʼeessaafii ture.
33 And the king said to Barzillai, "Come over with me, and I will provide for your old age in Jerusalem with me."
Mootichis Barzilaayiin, “Gamatti na wajjin ceʼiitii na wajjin Yerusaalem jiraadhu; anis sin sooraa” jedhe.
34 But Barzillai said to the king, "How many more days would I have there, that I should go up with the king to Jerusalem?
Barzilaayiin garuu mootichaan akkana jedhe; “Ani siʼachi waggaa hammam jiraachuufan mooticha wajjin Yerusaalem dhaqa?
35 I am now eighty years old. Can I discern between good and bad? Can your servant taste what I eat or what I drink? Can I hear the voice of male and female singers? Why then should your servant be any further burden to my lord the king?
Ani yeroo ammaa waggaa saddeettama guuteera. Ani waan gaarii fi waan hamaa addaan baasuu nan dandaʼaa? Garbichi kee miʼaa nyaataa fi dhugaatii beekaa? Ammas sagalee dhiirotaatii fi dubartoota sirbanii dhagaʼuu dandaʼaa? Yoos garbichi kee maaliif gooftaa koo mootichatti baʼaa dabalamaa taʼa ree?
36 Your servant will cross the Jordan with the king for a short distance. Why should the king compensate me in this way?
Garbichi kee mooticha wajjin Yordaanos ceʼee xinnoo ishee ni deema; mootichi garuu maaliif haala kanaan galata naaf deebisa?
37 Please let your servant return, so that I may die in my own city near the tomb of my father and my mother. But look, here is your servant Kimham. Let him cross over with my lord the king, and do for him what seems good to you."
Akka ani yoon duʼe magaaluma kootti awwaala abbaa fi haadha koo biratti awwaalamuuf garbicha kee dhiisi haa deebiʼu. Garbichi kee Kimhaam garuu kunoo ti. Inni gooftaa koo mooticha wajjin haa ceʼu. Atis waan jaallattu kam iyyuu isaaf godhi.”
38 And the king answered, "Kimham will go over with me, and I will do for him whatever I consider appropriate, and whatever you require of me I will do for you."
Mootichis, “Kimhaam na wajjin ni ceʼa; anis waan ati jaallattu kam iyyuu isaaf nan godha; waan ati narraa barbaaddu kam iyyuus siif nan godha” jedhe.
39 All the people crossed over the Jordan, but the king remained. Then the king kissed Barzillai, and blessed him; and he returned to his own place.
Akkasiin namoonni hundinuu Yordaanosin ceʼan; mootichis ni ceʼe. Mootichis Barzilaayii dhungatee eebbise; Barzilaayiinis gara mana isaatti deebiʼe.
40 So the king went over to Gilgal, and Kimham went over with him. All the people of Judah brought the king over, and also half the people of Israel.
Yommuu mootichi gara Gilgaalitti darbetti Kimhaam isa wajjin deeme. Loltoonni Yihuudaa hundinuu fi walakkaan loltoota Israaʼel mooticha ceesisan.
41 Look, all the men of Israel came to the king, and said to the king, "Why have our brothers the men of Judah stolen you away, and brought the king, and his household, over the Jordan, and all David's men with him?"
Yommuu suma namoonni Israaʼel hundinuu gara mootichaa dhufanii, “Obboloonni keenya warri Yihuudaa maaliif nu dhoksanii mootichaa fi maatii isaa, duukaa buutota isa wajjin Yordaanosin ceesisanii fidani?” jedhaniin.
42 The men of Judah answered the men of Israel, "Because the king is a close relative to us. Why then are you angry about this matter? Have we eaten at all at the king's cost? Has he given us a gift? Or has he brought us a portion?"
Namoonni Yihuudaa hundis deebisanii namoota Israaʼeliin, “Nu waan mootichi fira dhiigaa nuuf taʼeef waan kana goone. Isin waaʼee waan kanaa maaliif aartu? Nu waan mootichaa keessaa tokko illee nyaanneerraa? Waan tokko illees ofii keenyaaf fudhanneerraa?” jedhan.
43 Then the men of Israel answered the men of Judah, and said, "We have ten shares in the king, and we are the firstborn rather than you. Why then did you treat us with contempt? Were we not the first to speak of bringing back our king?" But the comments of the men of Judah were more forceful than the comments of the men of Israel.
Kana irratti namoonni Israaʼel namoota Yihuudaatiin, “Nu mooticha irraa qooda harka kudhan qabna; kana malees nu isin caalaa Daawit irraa mirga qabna. Yoos isin maaliif akkas nu tuffattu ree? Akka mootiin keenya nuuf deebiʼuuf kan duraan dursinee gaafanne nu mitii?” jedhanii deebisan. Garuu deebiin namoonni Yihuudaa deebisan kan Israaʼelootaa irra jabaa ture.
