1 Ngemva kwensuku zika-Abhimelekhi kwavela umuntu wako-Isakhari, uThola indodana kaPhuwa, indodana kaDodo ukuba ahlenge u-Israyeli. Wayehlala eShamiri, elizweni lezintaba elako-Efrayimi.
Erga Abiimelek duʼee booddee namichi gosa Yisaakor, Toolaan ilmi Phuwaa ilmi Doodoo Israaʼel baraaruuf kaʼe. Innis biyya gaaraa Efreem keessa Shaamiir jiraate.
2 Wakhokhela u-Israyeli iminyaka engamatshumi amabili lantathu; wasesifa, wangcwatshwa eShamiri.
Tolaan waggaa digdamii sadii Israaʼelin bulche; ergasiis duʼee Shaamiiritti awwaalame.
3 Walandelwa nguJayiri owaseGiliyadi, owakhokhela u-Israyeli iminyaka engamatshumi amabili lambili.
Isatti aanee Yaaʼiir namichi gosa Giliʼaad kaʼee waggaa kudha lama Israaʼelin bulche;
4 Wayelamadodana angamatshumi amathathu, ayegada obabhemi abangamatshumi amathathu. Ayephethe amadolobho angamatshumi amathathu eGiliyadi, lalamhlanje abizwa ngokuthi Havothi Jayiri.
innis ilmaan soddoma kanneen harroota soddoma yaabbatan qaba ture. Isaanis magaalaawwan hamma harʼaatti gandoota Yaaʼiir jedhaman soddoma Giliʼaad keessaa qabu turan.
5 Ekufeni kwakhe uJayiri wangcwatshwa eKhamoni.
Yaaʼiiris duʼee Qaamonitti awwaalame.
6 Abako-Israyeli benza okubi futhi emehlweni kaThixo. Bakhonza oBhali labo-Ashithorethi, labonkulunkulu base-Aramu, labonkulunkulu baseSidoni, labonkulunkulu baseMowabi, labonkulunkulu bama-Amoni, kanye labonkulunkulu bamaFilistiya. Ngenxa yokuthi abako-Israyeli bamdela uThixo kabaze babe besamkhonza,
Ammas Israaʼeloonni fuula Waaqayyoo duratti waan hamaa hojjetan. Baʼaalii fi Ashtooreti akkasumas waaqota Sooriyaa, Siidoonaa, Moʼaab, Amoonii fi kan Filisxeem waaqeffatan. Waan Israaʼeloonni Waaqayyoon dhiisanii isa waaqeffachuu didaniif,
7 wabathukuthelela kakhulu. Wabanikela ezandleni zamaFilistiya lama-Amoni,
inni isaanitti dheekkame. Dabarsees harka Filisxeemotaatii fi Amoonotaatti isaan gurgure;
8 okwathi ngalowomnyaka abachitha abanqoba. Ancindizela abako-Israyeli bonke okweminyaka elitshumi lasificaminwembili ngasempumalanga kweJodani eGiliyadi, ilizwe lama-Amori.
isaanis bara sana ijoollee Israaʼel gad cabsanii cunqursan. Israaʼeloota biyya Amoorotaa kan Giliʼaad keessa karaa baʼaatiin laga Yordaanos bira jiraatan hundumaa waggaa kudha saddeet akka malee cunqursan.
9 Ama-Amoni futhi achapha iJodani ukuba alwe loJuda, loBhenjamini kanye lendlu ka-Efrayimi; u-Israyeli wayephakathi kohlupho olukhulu.
Amoononnis gosa Yihuudaa, gosa Beniyaamii fi mana Efreem waraanuudhaaf laga Yordaanos ceʼan. Israaʼeloonnis akka malee raafaman.
10 Lapho-ke abako-Israyeli bakhala kuThixo bathi, “Senze isono kuwe, sadela uNkulunkulu wethu sakhonza oBhali.”
Kanaafuu Israaʼeloonni, “Nu si Waaqa keenya dhiifnee Baʼaal waaqeffachuudhaan yakka sitti hojjenneerra” jedhanii Waaqayyotti iyyatan.
11 UThixo waphendula wathi, “Lapho amaGibhithe, lama-Amori, lama-Amoni, lamaFilistiya,
Waaqayyos akkana jedhee deebiseef; “Yeroo warri Gibxi, Amooronni, Amoononni, Filisxeemonni,
12 lamaSidoni, lama-Amaleki kanye lamaMawoni alincindezela lakhulekela usizo kimi, kangilihlenganga ezandleni zawo na?
Siidoononni, Amaaleqoonnii fi Maaʼoononni isin cunqursinaan isin natti iyyattanitti ani harka isaanii jalaa isin hin baafnee?
13 Kodwa selingidelile lakhonza abanye onkulunkulu, ngakho angisayikulisindisa.
Isin garuu na dhiiftanii waaqota biraa waaqeffattan; kanaafuu ani siʼachi isin hin baasu.
14 Hambani liyekhala kubonkulunkulu elibathembileyo. Kabalisindise nxa seliphakathi kokuhlupheka!”
Deemaatii waaqota filattan sanatti iyyadhaa. Yommuu isin rakkattan isaanumti isin haa oolchan!”
15 Kodwa abako-Israyeli bathi kuThixo, “Senze isono. Yenza kithi lokho okubona kulungile kuwe, kodwa ake usihlenge khathesi nje.”
Israaʼeloonnis Waaqayyoon, “Nu cubbuu hojjenneera. Ati waan feete nu godhi; amma garuu maaloo nu baasi” jedhan.
16 Ngakho basusa onkulunkulu bezizweni phakathi kwabo bakhonza uThixo. Wayengeke alumele futhi usizi luka-Israyeli.
Isaanis waaqota ormaa gidduu isaaniitii balleessanii Waaqayyoon waaqeffatan. Innis ergasii dhiphina Israaʼel calʼisee ilaaluu hin dandeenye.
17 Kwathi ama-Amoni esebizelwe empini njalo emise eGiliyadi, abako-Israyeli abuthana amisa eMizipha.
Yeroo Amoononni Giliʼaaditti wal gaʼanitti Israaʼeloonnis wal gaʼanii Miisphaa qubatan.
18 Abakhokheli babantu baseGiliyadi bathi omunye komunye, “Lowo ozaqalisa ukuhlasela ama-Amoni uzakuba yinduna yabo bonke abahlala eGiliyadi.”
Hooggantoonni namoota Giliʼaadis, “Namni jalqabatti Amoonotatti waraana banu inni jiraattota Giliʼaad hundaaf hoogganaa taʼa” waliin jedhan.
