< 2 Samuel 20 >

1 And there hath been called there a man of worthlessness, and his name [is] Sheba, son of Bichri, a Benjamite, and he bloweth with a trumpet, and saith, 'We have no portion in David, and we have no inheritance in the son of Jesse; each to his tents, O 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 And every man of Israel goeth up from after David, after Sheba son of Bichri, and the men of Judah have cleaved to their king, from the Jordan even unto 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 And David cometh in unto his house at Jerusalem, and the king taketh the ten women-concubines — whom he had left to keep the house, and putteth them in a house of ward, and sustaineth them, and unto them he hath not gone in, and they are shut up unto the day of their death, in widowhood living.
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 And the king saith unto Amasa, 'Call for me the men of Judah [in] three days, and thou, stand here,'
Ergasiis mootichi Amaasaadhaan, “Namoota Yihuudaa guyyaa sadii keessatti walitti naa qabi; atis asitti argami” jedhe.
5 and Amasa goeth to call Judah, and tarrieth beyond the appointed time that he had appointed him;
Amaasaan garuu yommuu namoota Yihuudaa waamuu deemetti yeroo mootichi isaaf kenne caalaa ture.
6 and David saith unto Abishai, 'Now doth Sheba son of Bichri do evil to us more than Absalom; thou, take the servants of thy lord, and pursue after him, lest he have found for himself fenced cities, and delivered himself [from] our eye.'
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 And the men of Joab go out after him, and the Cherethite, and the Pelethite, and all the mighty men, and they go out from Jerusalem to pursue after Sheba son of Bichri;
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 they [are] near the great stone that [is] in Gibeon, and Amasa hath gone before them, and Joab [is] girded; his long robe he hath put on him, and upon it a girdle — a sword [is] fastened upon his loins in its sheath; and he hath gone out, and it falleth.
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 saith to Amasa, 'Art thou [in] peace, my brother?' and the right hand of Joab layeth hold on the beard of Amasa to give a kiss to him;
Yooʼaabis Amaasaan, “Yaa obboleessoo, akkam jirta?” jedhe. Kana irratti Yooʼaab isa dhungachuuf harka isaa mirgaatiin hareeda Amesaay qabate.
10 and Amasa hath not been watchful of the sword that [is] in the hand of Joab, and he smiteth him with it unto the fifth [rib], and sheddeth out his bowels to the earth, and he hath not repeated [it] to him, and he dieth; and Joab and Abishai his brother have pursued after Sheba son of Bichri.
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 a man hath stood by him, of the young men of Joab, and saith, 'He who hath delight in Joab, and he who [is] for David — after Joab!'
Namoota Yooʼaab keessaa inni tokko Amesaay bira dhaabatee, “Namni Yooʼaabin jaallatu, kan garee Daawit taʼe hundi Yooʼaabin duukaa haa buʼu!” jedhe.
12 And Amasa is rolling himself in blood, in the midst of the highway, and the man seeth that all the people have stood still, and he bringeth round Amasa out of the highway to the field, and casteth over him a garment, when he hath seen that every one who hath come by him — hath stood still.
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 hath been removed out of the highway, every man hath passed on after Joab, to pursue after Sheba son of Bichri.
Erga reeffi Amesaay karaa irraa kaafamee booddee namoonni hundinuu Shebaa ilma Biikrii sana ariʼuuf Yooʼaab faana qajeelan.
14 And he passeth over through all the tribes of Israel to Abel, and to Beth-Maachah, and to all the Berites, and they are assembled, and go in also after 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 they go in and lay siege against him, in Abel of Beth-Maachah, and cast up a mount against the city, and it standeth in a trench, and all the people who are [are] with Joab are destroying, to cause the wall to fall.
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 And a wise woman calleth out of the city, 'Hear, hear; say, I pray you, unto Joab, Come near hither, and I speak unto thee.'
dubartiin ogeettiin tokko magaalattiidhaa isaan waamtee, “Dhagaʼaa! Dhagaʼaa! Akka ani waa isatti himuu dandaʼuuf Yooʼaab as haa dhufu itti himaa” jette.
17 And he cometh near unto her, and the woman saith, 'Art thou Joab?' and he saith, 'I [am].' And she saith to him, 'Hear the words of thy handmaid;' and he saith, 'I am hearing.'
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 and she speaketh, saying, 'They spake often in former times, saying, Let them diligently ask at Abel, and so they finished.
Isheenis itti fuftee akkana jette; “Bara durii namoonni, ‘Gara Abeel dhaqaa gorsa gaafadhaa’ jedhu ture; akkasiinis dubbiin ni dhuma ture.
19 I [am] of the peaceable — faithful ones of Israel; thou art seeking to destroy a city, and a mother in Israel; why dost thou swallow up the inheritance of Jehovah?
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 And Joab answereth and saith, 'Far be it — far be it from me; I do not swallow up nor destroy.
Yooʼaab immoo akkana jedhee deebise; “Wanni kun narraa haa fagaatu! Magaalattii balleessuun yookaan liqimsuun narraa haa fagaatu!
21 The matter [is] not so; for a man of the hill-country of Ephraim — Sheba son of Bichri his name — hath lifted up his hand against the king, against David; give ye up him by himself, and I go away from the city.' And the woman saith unto Joab, 'Lo, his head is cast unto thee over 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 And the woman cometh unto all the people in her wisdom, and they cut off the head of Sheba son of Bichri, and cast [it] unto Joab, and he bloweth with a trumpet, and they are scattered from the city, each to his tents, and Joab hath turned back to Jerusalem unto 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 And Joab [is] over all the host of Israel, and Benaiah son of Jehoiada [is] over the Cherethite, and over the Pelethite,
Yooʼaab loltoota Israaʼel hunda irratti, Benaayaa ilmi Yehooyaadaa immoo Kereetotaa fi Pheletota irratti ajajaa taʼe;
24 and Adoram [is] over the tribute, and Jehoshaphat son of Ahilud [is] the remembrancer,
Adooraam namoota hojii humnaa hojjetan irratti muudame; Yehooshaafaax ilmi Ahiiluud immoo galmeessaa taʼe;
25 and Sheva [is] scribe, and Zadok and Abiathar [are] priests,
Shewwaan barreessaa, Zaadoqii fi Abiyaataar immoo luboota turan;
26 and also, Ira the Jairite hath been minister to David.
akkasumas Iiraas namichi gosa Yaaʼiri sun luba Daawit ture.
