2 Samuel 14
1 And Joab son of Zeruial knoweth that the heart of the king [is] on Absalom,
Yooʼaab ilmi Zeruuyaa akka garaan mootichaa Abesaaloom itti deebiʼe beeke.
2 and Joab sendeth to Tekoah, and taketh thence a wise woman, and saith unto her, 'Feign thyself a mourner, I pray thee, and put on, I pray thee, garments of mourning, and anoint not thyself with oil, and thou hast been as a woman these many days mourning for the dead,
Kanaafuu Yooʼaab gara Teqooʼaatti nama ergee dubartii ogeettii tokko fichisiise. Innis akkana isheedhaan jedhe; “Sobiitii akka nama gadda keessa jiruu taʼi. Wayyaa gaddaa uffadhu; dibata kam iyyuu hin dibatin. Akka dubartii nama duʼe tokkoof guyyaa hedduu gaddite tokkoos taʼi.
3 and thou hast gone unto the king, and spoken unto him, according to this word;' and Joab putteth the words into her mouth.
Mooticha bira dhaqiitii waan kana itti himi.” Yooʼaabis waan isheen dubbattu isheetti hime.
4 And the woman of Tekoah speaketh unto the king, and falleth on her face to the earth, and doth obeisance, and saith, 'Save, O king.'
Dubartiin sun yommuu Teqooʼaadhaa gara mootichaa dhuftetti ulfina isaaf kennuuf addaan lafatti gombifamtee, “Yaa mootii, na gargaari!” jette.
5 And the king saith to her, 'What — to thee?' and she saith, 'Truly a widow woman [am] I, and my husband dieth,
Mootichis, “Ati maal rakkatte?” jedhee ishee gaafate. Isheenis akkana jette; “Sababii dhirsi koo duʼeef ani dhugumaan niitii dhirsa hin qabnee dha.
6 and thy maid-servant hath two sons; and they strive both of them in a field, and there is no deliverer between them, and the one smiteth the other, and putteth him to death;
Ani garbittiin kee ilmaan lama qaban ture. Isaanis alatti wal lolan; sababii namni wal irraa isaan dhowwu tokko iyyuu achi hin turiniif inni tokko isa kaan dhaʼee ajjeese.
7 and lo, the whole family hath risen against thy maid-servant, and say, Give up him who smiteth his brother, and we put him to death for the life of his brother whom he hath slain, and we destroy also the heir; and they have quenched my coal which is left — so as not to set to my husband a name and remnant on the face of the ground.'
Kunoo, gosti hundi ana garbittii keetti kaʼeera; isaanis, ‘Waan inni obboleessa ofii isaa ajjeeseef akka nu sababii lubbuu obboleessa isaa kan inni ajjeese sanaa isa ajjeefnuuf dabarsii nutti kenni; ergasii dhaaltuu isaa illee ni galaafanna’ jedhu. Isaanis akkasiin akka dhirsi koo maqaa yookaan sanyii lafa irraa hin qabaanneef ibsaa koo tokkicha hafe kana dhaamsu.”
8 And the king saith unto the woman, 'Go to thine house, and I give charge concerning thee.'
Mootichis dubartii sanaan, “Ani waaʼee keetiif ajaja nan dabarsaatii ati mana keetti gali” jedhe.
9 And the woman of Tekoah saith unto the king, 'On me, my lord, O king, [is] the iniquity, and on the house of my father; and the king and his throne [are] innocent.'
Dubartiin Teqooʼaa sun garuu, “Yaa gooftaa ko, yaa mooticha, yakki sun anaa fi maatii abbaa koo irra haa buʼu; mootichii fi teessoon isaa yakka irraa haa qulqullaaʼan” jette.
10 And the king saith, 'He who speaketh [aught] unto thee, and thou hast brought him unto me, then he doth not add any more to come against thee.'
Mootichis deebisee, “Yoo namni kam iyyuu waan tokko illee sitti dubbate isa natti fidi; innis deebiʼee si hin rakkisu” jedhe.
11 And she saith, 'Let, I pray thee, the king remember by Jehovah thy God, that the redeemer of blood add not to destroy, and they destroy not my son;' and he saith, 'Jehovah liveth; if there doth fall of the hair of thy son to the earth.'
Ishee immoo, “Kanaafuu akka namni haaloo dhiigaa baasu sun ittuma fufee nama biraa ajjeesee akkasiin ilmi koo hin ajjeefamneef mootichi Waaqayyoon Waaqa isaa haa waammatu” jette. Innis, “Dhugaa Waaqayyo jiraataa, rifeensi tokkittiin mataa ilma keetii irraa lafa hin buʼu” jedhe.
12 And the woman saith, 'Let, I pray thee, thy maid-servant speak unto my lord the king a word;' and he saith, 'Speak.'
Ergasiis dubartittiin, “Akka ani garbittiin kee gooftaa koo mootichatti dubbii tokkittii dubbadhu naa eeyyami” jette. Innis, “Dubbadhu” jedhee deebise.
13 And the woman saith, 'And why hast thou thought thus concerning the people of God? yea, the king is speaking this thing as a guilty one, in that the king hath not brought back his outcast;
Dubartittiin immoo akkana jette; “Yoos ati maaliif waan akkasii saba Waaqaatti yaadde? Mootichi ilma isaa kan biyyaa baqate sana hin deebifneetii; akkana jechuun isaa ofitti muruu isaa mitii?
14 for we do surely die, and [are] as water which is running down to the earth, which is not gathered, and God doth not accept a person, and hath devised devices in that the outcast is not outcast by Him.
Nus akkuma bishaan lafatti dhangalaʼee deebiʼee hin waraabamneetti ni duuna. Waaqni garuu karaa namni biyyaa baqate sun ittiin deebiʼu barbaada malee akka inni isa irraa fagaatee hafu hin fedhu.
15 'And now that I have come to speak unto the king my lord this word, [it is] because the people made me afraid, and thy maid-servant saith, Let me speak, I pray thee, unto the king; it may be the king doth do the word of his handmaid,
“Kanaafuu sababii namoonni na sodaachisaniif ani dubbii kana gooftaa koo mootichatti himuuf dhufeera. Garbittiin kees waan kana yaadde; ‘Ani mooticha nan gaafadha; innis waan garbittiin isaa gaafatte tole jedha taʼa.
16 for the king doth hearken to deliver his handmaid out of the paw of the man [seeking] to destroy me and my son together out of the inheritance of God,
Mootichi waan kana dhagaʼee harka namicha anaa fi ilma koo dhaala Waaqni nuu kenne nu dhabsiisuu yaaluu jalaa garbittii isaa ni baasaatii.’
17 and thy maid-servant saith, Let, I pray thee, the word of my lord the king be for ease; for as a messenger of God so [is] my lord the king, to understand the good and the evil; and Jehovah thy God is with thee.'
“Ammas garbittiin kee akkana jetti; ‘Sababii gooftaan koo mootichi waan gaarii fi hamaa gargari baasee beekuutti akkuma ergamaa Waaqayyoo taʼeef dubbiin gooftaa koo mootichaa boqonnaa naaf haa kennu. Waaqayyo Waaqni kee si wajjin haa taʼu.’”
18 And the king answereth and saith unto the woman, 'Do not, I pray thee, hide from me the thing that I am asking thee;' and the woman saith, 'Let, I pray thee, my lord the king speak.'
Kana irratti mootichi dubartittiidhaan, “Ati waan ani si gaafadhu kam iyyuu na hin dhoksin” jedhe. Dubartittiinis, “Gooftaan koo mootichi haa dubbatu” jette.
19 And the king saith, 'Is the hand of Joab with thee in all this?' And the woman answereth and saith, 'Thy soul liveth, my lord, O king, none [doth turn] to the right or to the left from all that my lord the king hath spoken; for thy servant Joab he commanded me, and he put in the mouth of thy maid-servant all these words;
Mootichi, “Waan kana hunda keessatti harki Yooʼaab si wajjin jiraa?” jedhee gaafate. Dubartiin sun immoo akkana jettee deebifte; “Yaa gooftaa koo mooticha, duʼa kee ti; dubbii gooftaan koo mootichi dubbatu irraa namni gara mirgaatti yookaan gara bitaatti goruu dandaʼu tokko illee hin jiru. Dhuguma namni akka ani waan kana dubbadhu na ajajee fi kan dubbii kana hundas afaan garbittii keetii keessa kaaʼe Yooʼaabuma garbicha kee ti.
20 in order to bring round the appearance of the thing hath thy servant Joab done this thing, and my lord [is] wise, according to the wisdom of a messenger of God, to know all that [is] in the land.'
Yooʼaab garbichi kee waan kana gochuun isaa haala yeroo ammaa jiru geeddaruuf. Gooftaan koo ogummaa akkuma ogummaa ergamaa Waaqayyoo qaba; inni waan lafa irratti taʼu hunda ni beeka.”
21 And the king saith unto Joab, 'Lo, I pray thee, thou hast done this thing; and go, bring back the young man Absalom.'
Mootichis Yooʼaabiin, “Tole; ani waan kana nan godha. Ati dhaqii Abesaaloom dargaggeessicha fidi” jedhe.
22 And Joab falleth on his face to the earth, and doth obeisance, and blesseth the king, and Joab saith, 'To-day hath thy servant known that I have found grace in thine eyes, my lord, O king, in that the king hath done the word of his servant.'
Yooʼaabis ulfina isaaf kennuuf addaan gombifamee mooticha eebbise. Yooʼaab, “Sababii mootichi kadhannaa garbicha isaa dhagaʼeef inni akka fuula gooftaa isaa mootichaa duratti fudhatama argate harʼa ni beeka” jedhe.
23 And Joab riseth and goeth to Geshur, and bringeth in Absalom to Jerusalem,
Ergasii Yooʼaab Geshuur dhaqee Abesaaloomin deebisee Yerusaalemitti fide.
24 and the king saith, 'Let him turn round unto his house, and my face he doth not see.' And Absalom turneth round unto his house, and the face of the king he hath not seen.
Mootichi garuu, “Inni gara mana isaa deemuu qaba; inni fuula koo arguu hin qabu” jedhe. Kanaafuu Abesaaloom gara mana isaatti gale; fuula mootichaas hin argine.
25 And like Absalom there was no man [so] fair in all Israel, to praise greatly; from the sole of his foot even unto his crown there was no blemish in him;
Guutummaa Israaʼel keessa namni akka Abesaaloom miidhaguma isaatiin baayʼee jajame tokko iyyuu hin turre. Inni mataa isaatii jalqabee hamma faana miilla isaatti hirʼina tokko iyyuu hin qabu ture.
26 and in his polling his head — and it hath been at the end of year by year that he polleth [it], for it [is] heavy on him, and he hath polled it — he hath even weighed out the hair of his head — two hundred shekels by the king's weight.
Yommuu rifeensi mataa isaa itti ulfaatutti waggaatti yeroo tokko of irraa mura ture; yeroo inni rifeensa mataa isaa kana madaalli mootiitiin madaaluttis rifeensi isaa saqilii dhibba lama ulfaata ture.
27 And there are born to Absalom three sons, and one daughter, and her name [is] Tamar; she was a woman of a fair appearance.
Abesaaloom ilmaan sadii fi intala tokko dhalche. Maqaan intala sanaa Taamaar jedhama; isheenis dubartii akka malee bareeddu turte.
28 And Absalom dwelleth in Jerusalem two years of days, and the face of the king he hath not seen;
Abesaaloom utuu fuula mootichaa hin argin waggaa lama Yerusaalem keessa jiraate.
29 and Absalom sendeth unto Joab, to send him unto the king, and he hath not been willing to come unto him; and he sendeth again a second time, and he hath not been willing to come.
Ergasii Abesaaloom Yooʼaabin gara mootichaatti erguuf jedhee nama itti erge; Yooʼaab garuu isa bira dhufuu dide. Kanaafuu yeroo lammaffaa nama itti erge; inni garuu dhufuu dide.
30 And he saith unto his servants, 'See, the portion of Joab [is] by the side of mine, and he hath barley there; go, and burn it with fire;' and the servants of Absalom burn the portion with fire.
Ergasiis Abesaaloom hojjettoota isaatiin, “Ilaa, lafti qotiisaa Yooʼaab lafa qotiisaa kootti aana; innis garbuu achii qaba. Dhaqaatii ibidda itti qabsiisaa” jedhe. Kanaafuu hojjettoonni Abesaaloom dhaqanii lafa qotiisaa sanatti ibidda qabsiisan.
31 And Joab riseth and cometh unto Absalom in the house, and saith unto him, 'Why have thy servants burned the portion that I have with fire?'
Kana irratti Yooʼaab gara mana Abesaaloom dhaqee, “Hojjettoonni kee maaliif lafa qotiisaa kootti ibidda qabsiisan?” jedheen.
32 And Absalom saith unto Joab, 'Lo, I sent unto thee, saying, Come hither, and I send thee unto the king to say, Why have I come in from Geshur? — good for me while I [am] there — and now, let me see the king's face, and if there is in me iniquity then thou hast put me to death.'
Abesaaloomis deebisee Yooʼaabiin akkana jedhe; “Kunoo ani akka ati, ‘Inni, “Ani maaliifin Geshuurii dhufe? Utuun hamma ammaatti achuma jiraadhee naaf wayya ture!” jedha’ jettee mootichatti naaf himtuuf gara mootichaatti si ergachuuf, na bira kottu jedhee sitti dhaammadheen ture. Ani amma illee fuula mootichaa arguun fedha; yoo ani yakka tokko illee hojjedhee jiraadhe inni na haa ajjeesu.”
33 And Joab cometh unto the king, and declareth [it] to him, and he calleth unto Absalom, and he cometh unto the king, and boweth himself to him, on his face, to the earth, before the king, and the king giveth a kiss to Absalom.
Kanaafuu Yooʼaab gara mootichaa dhaqee waan kana itti hime. Mootichis Abesaaloomin waamsise; innis dhufee fuula mootichaa duratti addaan lafatti gombifame. Mootichis Abesaaloomin dhungate.
