< 2 Samuel 20 >

1 Now there happened to be a worthless man, whose name was Sheba, the son of Bikri, a Benjamite. And he blew the trumpet, and said, "We have no share in David, nor do we have any inheritance in the son of Jesse. Every man to his tents, Israel."
Yeroo kanatti namichi dabaan Shebaa jedhamu, ilmi Biikrii namicha gosa Beniyaam tokko achi ture. Innis malakata afuufee sagalee guddaan akkana jedhee iyye; “Nu Daawit irraa qooda hin qabnu; ilma Isseey irraa dhaala tokko illee hin qabnu! Yaa Israaʼel, tokkoon tokkoon namaa gara dunkaana isaatti!”
2 So all Israel deserted David and followed Sheba the son of Bikri, but the men of Judah stayed by their king, from the Jordan to Jerusalem.
Kanaafuu namoonni Israaʼel hundinuu Shebaa ilma Biikrii sana duukaa buʼuuf jedhanii Daawit irraa garagalan. Namoonni Yihuudaa garuu Yordaanosii hamma Yerusaalemitti mootii isaanii wajjin deeman.
3 Then David came to his palace at Jerusalem, and the king took the ten women his secondary wives, whom he had left to keep the palace, and placed them under guard, and provided for them, but did not go in to them. So they were kept in confinement until the day of their death, living as widows.
Daawitis yommuu masaraa isaa kan Yerusaalem keessaatti deebiʼetti, saajjatoowwan isaa kurnan akka isaan masaraa eeganiif dhiisee biraa deeme sana fuudhee mana tokkotti galchee akka isaan eegaman godhe. Inni waan isaan nyaatan kenneef malee isaan wajjin hin ciifne. Isaanis hamma gaafa duʼaniitti akka niitota dhirsoonni irraa duʼaniitti kophaa jiraatan.
4 Then the king said to Amasa, "Summon the men of Judah to me within three days, and be present here yourself."
Ergasiis mootichi Amaasaadhaan, “Namoota Yihuudaa guyyaa sadii keessatti walitti naa qabi; atis asitti argami” jedhe.
5 So Amasa went to summon Judah together, but he delayed beyond the set time that had been allotted him.
Amaasaan garuu yommuu namoota Yihuudaa waamuu deemetti yeroo mootichi isaaf kenne caalaa ture.
6 David said to Abishai, "Now Sheba the son of Bikri will do us more harm than Absalom did. Now then, take your lord's servants with you and pursue after him, otherwise he will get himself to fortified cities and escape from us."
Daawitis Abiishaayidhaan, “Shebaan ilmi Biikrii miidhaa Abesaaloom nu miidhe sana caalaa nu miidha. Ati namoota gooftaa keetii fudhadhuutii isa ariʼi; yoo kanaa achii inni magaalaa daʼannoo qabu argatee nu jalaa miliqa” jedhe.
7 So there went out after him Joab's men and the Cherethites and the Pelethites, and all the warriors. And they went out from Jerusalem to pursue Sheba son of Bikri.
Kanaafuu namoonni Yooʼaabii fi Kereetonni, Pheletonnii fi namoonni waraanaa jajjaboon hundi ajaja Abiishaayi jalatti hiriiranii qajeelan. Isaanis Yerusaalemii kaʼanii Shebaa ilma Biikrii sana ariʼuuf qajeelan.
8 When they were at the great stone that is in Gibeon, Amasa came to meet them. And Joab was wearing his military attire, and over it was a belt with a dagger in its sheath fastened at his waist, and as he advanced it fell out.
Utuma isaan Gibeʼoon keessa kattaa guddaa bira jiranuu Amaasaan isaan simachuuf dhufe. Yooʼaab uffata isaa kan waraanaa uffate; qalqalli goraadeen isaa keessa jirus sabbataan mudhii isaatti hidhamee ture. Akkuma inni gara fuula duraatti tarkaanfateenis goraadichi qalqala isaa keessaa lafa buʼe.
9 And Joab said to Amasa, "Is it well with you, my brother?" Then Joab took Amasa by the beard with his right hand to kiss him.
Yooʼaabis Amaasaan, “Yaa obboleessoo, akkam jirta?” jedhe. Kana irratti Yooʼaab isa dhungachuuf harka isaa mirgaatiin hareeda Amesaay qabate.
10 But Amasa did not notice the sword that was in Joab's hand. And he stabbed him with it in the abdomen, so that his intestines spilled out on the ground, and he did not do it to him again. Thus he died. Then Joab and Abishai his brother pursued Sheba son of Bikri.
Amesaay akka Yooʼaab goraadee harkaa qabu hin hubanne ture; kanaafuu Yooʼaab goraadee sana garaa isaatti dire; marʼumaan isaas lafatti jige. Amaasaanis utuu lammata hin waraanamin duʼe. Ergasii immoo Yooʼaabii fi obboleessi isaa Abiishaayi Shebaa ilma Biikrii sana ariʼan.
11 And one of Joab's young men stood beside Amasa and said, "Whoever is the one that favors Joab and whoever belongs to David, follow Joab."
Namoota Yooʼaab keessaa inni tokko Amesaay bira dhaabatee, “Namni Yooʼaabin jaallatu, kan garee Daawit taʼe hundi Yooʼaabin duukaa haa buʼu!” jedhe.
12 But Amasa lay covered with his blood in the midst of the road, and anyone who came by, seeing him, stopped. So when the man saw that all the people stopped, he dragged Amasa from the road into a field and threw a garment over him.
Yeroo kanatti reeffi Amaasaa dhiigaan faalamee karaa irra ciisa ture; namichi tokkos akka loltoonni hundi achi dhadhaabatan arge. Innis yommuu akka warri gara Amesaay dhufan hundi dhadhaabatan argetti karaa irraa gara lafa qotiisaatti isa harkisee wayyaa irra buuse.
13 When he was removed from the road, all the people followed Joab in pursuit of Sheba son of Bikri.
Erga reeffi Amesaay karaa irraa kaafamee booddee namoonni hundinuu Shebaa ilma Biikrii sana ariʼuuf Yooʼaab faana qajeelan.
14 He went through all the tribes of Israel to Abel of Beth Maacah, and all the Bikrites assembled and followed him.
Saabeʼeenis gosoota Israaʼel hunda keessa darbee gara Abeel Beet Maʼaakaatii fi gara biyya Beeriit hundaa dhaqe; namoonni Beeriitis walitti qabamanii isa duukaa buʼan.
15 And all the people who were with Joab came and besieged him in Abel of Beth Maacah. And they built a siege ramp against the city, and it stood against the rampart, and they were battering the wall so that it would collapse.
Loltoonni Yooʼaab wajjin turan hundinuus dhufanii Abeel Beet Maʼaakaatti Saabeʼee marsan. Isaanis hamma karra magaalaa sanaatti naannessanii biyyoo tuulan; yommuu dallaa magaalaa sanaa jigsuuf tumaa turanittis,
16 Then a wise woman called out from the wall, "Listen, listen. Please tell Joab to come here so that I may speak to him.
dubartiin ogeettiin tokko magaalattiidhaa isaan waamtee, “Dhagaʼaa! Dhagaʼaa! Akka ani waa isatti himuu dandaʼuuf Yooʼaab as haa dhufu itti himaa” jette.
17 So he approached her, and the woman said, "Are you Joab?" And he replied, "I am." Then she said, "Listen to the words of your servant." And he replied, "I'm listening."
Inni gara ishee dhaqe; isheenis, “Ati Yooʼaabii?” jettee gaafatte. Innis, “Ani isuma” jedhee deebise. Isheen immoo, “Waan tajaajiltuun kee dubbattu dhagaʼi” jette. Innis, “Ani dhagaʼaan jira.”
18 Then she said, "In the past they used to say, 'Let them inquire in Abel and in Dan whether
Isheenis itti fuftee akkana jette; “Bara durii namoonni, ‘Gara Abeel dhaqaa gorsa gaafadhaa’ jedhu ture; akkasiinis dubbiin ni dhuma ture.
19 that which the faithful of Israel established has been carried out.' You seek to destroy a city that is a mother in Israel. Why do you want to swallow up the inheritance of YHWH?"
Ani warra Israaʼel keessa nagaa fi amanamummaan jiraatan keessaa tokkoo dha. Ati magaalaa Israaʼel keessatti haadha taate tokko balleessuuf yaadaa jirta. Ati maaliif dhaala Waaqayyoo liqimsuu barbaadda?”
20 Joab answered, "Far be it from me that I should swallow up or destroy.
Yooʼaab immoo akkana jedhee deebise; “Wanni kun narraa haa fagaatu! Magaalattii balleessuun yookaan liqimsuun narraa haa fagaatu!
21 That is not the case. But a man of the hill country of Ephraim, Sheba the son of Bikri, has rebelled against king David. Give up him alone and I will withdraw from the city." Then the woman said to Joab, "Look, his head will be thrown to you from the wall."
Wanni kun akkana miti. Namichi Shebaa jedhamu ilmi Biikrii kan biyya gaaraa Efreem sun mootiitti, Daawititti harka isaa ol fudhateera. Namicha tokkicha kana dabarsaa kennaa; anis magaalaa kana gad dhiisee nan baʼa.” Dubartiin sunis Yooʼaabiin, “Mataan namicha sanaa dallaa irraan gad siif darbatama” jette.
22 Then she spoke to all the city with her wise advice, and they cut off the head of Sheba son of Bikri and threw it out to Joab. So he blew the trumpet, and they were dispersed from him, each returning to his home. And Joab went back to Jerusalem to the king.
Ergasii dubartiin sun gorsa ishee kan ogummaan guutame sanaan namoota hunda bira dhaqxe; isaanis mataa Shebaa ilma Biikrii sanaa kutanii Yooʼaabiif gad darbatan. Kanaafuu inni malakata afuufe; namoonni isaa magaalattii dhiisanii tokkoon tokkoon namaa mana ofii isaatti gale. Yooʼaab immoo gara Yerusaalem mooticha biratti deebiʼe.
23 Now Joab was in command of the entire army of Israel; and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was in command of the Cherethites and in command of the Pelethites;
Yooʼaab loltoota Israaʼel hunda irratti, Benaayaa ilmi Yehooyaadaa immoo Kereetotaa fi Pheletota irratti ajajaa taʼe;
24 and Adoniram was in command of the forced labor; and Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud was recorder;
Adooraam namoota hojii humnaa hojjetan irratti muudame; Yehooshaafaax ilmi Ahiiluud immoo galmeessaa taʼe;
25 and Shisha was scribe; and Zadok and Abiathar were priests;
Shewwaan barreessaa, Zaadoqii fi Abiyaataar immoo luboota turan;
26 and also Ira the Jairite was David's priest.
akkasumas Iiraas namichi gosa Yaaʼiri sun luba Daawit ture.
