Abahluleli 18
1 Ngalezonsuku u-Israyeli wayengelankosi. Njalo ngalezonsuku abosendo lukaDani babedinga indawo engeyabo, lapho ababengahlala khona, ngoba babengakabi sendaweni eyilifa labo phakathi kwezizwana zako-Israyeli.
Yeroo sanatti Israaʼel keessa mootiin hin jiru ture. Sababii hamma yeroo sanaatti gosoota Israaʼel gidduutti dhaalli isaaniif hin kennaminiif gosti Daan iddoo qubatan barbaaddachaa turan.
2 Ngakho abakoDani bathuma amabutho amahlanu avela eZora lase-Eshithawoli ukuyahlola ilizwe lokulibona. Amadoda la ayemele zonke insendo zakibo. Zathi kubo, “Hambani liyehlola ilizwe.” Amadoda lawo angena elizweni lezintaba elako-Efrayimi ayafika endlini kaMikha, lapho alala khona.
Kanaafuu warri Daan akka isaan biyya sana basaasanii fi magaalaa Zoraatii fi Eshitaaʼol keessaa namoota jajjaboo shan ergan. Namoonni kunneenis gosoota isaanii hunda iddoo buʼan. Warra erganiinis, “Dhaqaatii biyyattii sakattaʼaa” jedhan. Ergamoonni sunis biyya gaaraa Efreemiitti ol baʼanii mana Miikaa dhufan; halkan sanas achi bulan.
3 Kwathi eseseduze lendlu kaMikha alazi ilizwi lejaha elingumLevi; ngakho aphendukela khona alibuza athi, “Ngubani owakuletha lapha? Wenzani kule indawo? Ufunani lapha?”
Isaanis yommuu mana Miikaa bira gaʼanitti sagalee dargaggeessa Lewwicha sanaa hubatan; kanaafuu itti goranii, “Eenyutu as si fide? Ati maal asii goota? Maaliifis as dhufte?” jedhanii isa gaafatan.
4 Lawatshela elalikwenziwe nguMikha, laselisithi, “Ungiqatshile njalo ngingumphristi wakhe.”
Innis, “Miikaatu na qaxarate; anis luba isaa ti” jedhee waan inni isaaf godhe isaanitti hime.
5 Asesithi kulo, “Ake usibuzele kuNkulunkulu ukuthi uhambo lwethu luzaphumelela na.”
Isaanis, “Maaloo mee akka karaan keenya milkaaʼuu fi akka hin milkoofne Waaqa nuu gaafadhu” jedhaniin.
6 Umphristi wawaphendula wathi, “Hambani ngokuthula. Uhambo lwenu luvunyelwe nguThixo.”
Lubichis, “Nagaan deemaa; Waaqayyo karaa keessan isinii mijeesseera” isaaniin jedhe.
7 Ngakho amadoda amahlanu lawo asuka aya eLayishi, lapho abona ukuthi abantu bakhona babezihlalele bevikelekile njengamaSidoni, belokuthula njalo bevikelekile. Njalo babehlezi khatshana lamaSidoni njalo bengelabuhlobo lomunye umuntu.
Kanaafuu namoonni shanan sun kaʼanii Laayish dhaqan; akka namoonni achi jiraatan, akkuma warra Siidoonaa sodaa tokko malee nagaadhaan jiraatanis argan. Isaanis sababii lafti isaanii waan hunda qabduuf jireenya badhaadhaa jiraatan. Akkasumas sababii warra Siidoonaa irraa fagaatanii jiraachaa turaniif isaan eenyuma wajjinuu walitti dhufeenya tokko illee hin qaban ture.
8 Esebuyele eZora lase-Eshithawoli, abafowabo bawabuza bathi, “Libone kunjani?”
Yommuu isaan Zoraa fi Eshitaaʼolitti deebiʼanitti obboloonni isaanii, “Oduu maalii qabattanii deebitan?” jedhanii isaan gaafatan.
9 Aphendula athi, “Phangisani, kasibahlaseleni! Sibonile ukuthi ilizwe lelo lihle kakhulu. Kaliyikwenza lutho na? Lingazilazili ukuya khonale lilithathe.
Isaanis deebisanii akkana jedhaniin; “Kaʼaa dhaqnee isaan lollaa! Nu akka biyyattiin gabbattuu taate argineerra. Isin waan kana ittuma dhiiftuu? Dhaqxanii qabachuu hin maminaa.
10 Ekufikeni khonale lizathola abantu abanganqinekeli lutho lelizwe elibanzi uNkulunkulu aselifake ezandleni zenu, ilizwe elingasweli lutho.”
Isinis yommuu achi geessanitti saba yaaddoo tokko malee jiraatuu fi biyya balʼaa Waaqni dabarsee harka keessanitti isinii kennu kan wanni tokko iyyuu itti hin hirʼatin argattu.”
11 Lapho-ke amadoda osendo lwakoDani angamakhulu ayisithupha ahlomela ukulwa, asesuka eZora kanye le-Eshithawoli.
Kana irratti gosa Daan keessaa namoonni dhibba jaʼa miʼa lolaa hidhatanii Zoraa fi Eshitaaʼolii kaʼan.
12 Ekuhambeni kwawo amisa izihonqo eduze leKhiriyathi-Jeyarimi koJuda. Yikho-nje indawo esentshonalanga kweKhiriyathi-Jeyarimi ithiwa yiMahane Dani kuze kube lamhla.
Ol baʼaniis Yihuudaa keessa iddoo Kiriyaati Yeʼaariim jedhamu bira qubatan. Sababii kanaaf iddoon sun hamma harʼaatti qubata Daan jedhamee waamama; qubanni sunis gama lixa Kiriyaati Yeʼaariimitti argama.
13 Esuka lapho aya elizweni lezintaba elako-Efrayimi afika endlini kaMikha.
Isaanis achii itti fufanii gara biyya gaaraa Efreemitti ol baʼanii mana Miikaa dhufan.
14 Amadoda amahlanu ayehambe ukuyahlola ilizwe leLayishi athi kubafowabo bakoDani, “Liyakwazi yini ukuthi enye yalezizindlu ilesembatho semahlombe, labanye onkulunkulu basendlini, lesithombe esihuqwe ngesiliva? Khathesi selikwazi okumele likwenze.”
Namoonni Shanan biyya Laayish basaasanii turan sunis, obboloota isaaniitiin, “Isin akka manneen kana keessaa tokko dirata, fakkii waaqota tolfamoo mana keessaa, fakkii soofamee fi fakkii meetiin itti uffifame qabu beektuu? Amma waan gochuu qabdan beekaa” jedhan.
15 Ngakho-ke aphambukela khona aya endlini yejaha elingumLevi koMikha, alibingelela.
Kanaafuu isaan achi goranii mana Miikaa iddoo Lewwichi dargaggeessi sun jiraatu dhufanii nagaa isa gaafatan.
16 AbakoDani abangamakhulu ayisithupha, ababehlomele ukulwa, bema entubeni yesango.
Namoonni Daan warri miʼa lolaa hidhatan dhibbi jaʼaan balbala ittiin karra seenan irra dhaabatanii turan.
17 Abahlanu ababeyehlola ilizwe bangena phakathi bathatha isithombe esibaziweyo, lesembatho semahlombe, labanye onkulunkulu basendlini, umphristi lamadoda ahlomileyo angamakhulu ayisithupha bemi entubeni yesango.
Namoonni biyyattii basaasan shanan ol galanii fakkii soofame, dirata, waaqota tolfamoo mana keessaatii fi Waaqa tolfamaa baqfamee hojjetame fudhatan. Yeroo kanatti lubni sunii fi namoonni miʼa lolaa hidhatan dhibbi jaʼaan balbala ittiin karra seenan irra dhaabachaa turan.
18 Kwathi amadoda la esengene endlini kaMikha athatha isithombe esibaziweyo, lesembatho semahlombe, labanye onkulunkulu basendlini kanye lesithombe esibunjiweyo, umphristi wathi kubo, “Lenzani na?”
Yommuu namoonni kunneen mana Miikaa seenanii fakkii soofame, dirata, waaqota tolfamoo mana keessaa biraatii fi Waaqa baqfamee hojjetame fudhatanitti lubichi, “Isin maal hojjechaa jirtu?” Isaaniin jedhe.
19 Amphendula athi, “Thula! Ungatsho lutho. Woza uhambe lathi, ube ngubaba lomphristi wethu. Akungcono yini ukuthi usebenzele isizwana losendo lwako-Israyeli njengomphristi kulabendlu yomuntu oyedwa?”
Isaanis, “Calʼisi! Afaan kee qabadhu; nu faana kottuutii abbaa fi luba nuu taʼi. Mana nama tokkoo keessa tajaajiluu irra sanyii fi gosa Israaʼeliif luba taatee tajaajiluu siif hin wayyuu?” jedhaniin.
20 Umphristi wathokoza. Wathatha isembatho semahlombe, labanye onkulunkulu basendlini kanye lesithombe esibaziweyo wahamba labantu.
Lubni sun ni gammade. Innis dirata, waaqota tolfamoo mana keessaa biraatii fi fakkii soofame sana fudhatee isaan wajjin deeme.
21 Sebefake abantwababo abancane, lezifuyo zabo kanye lempahla zabo phambi kwabo, baphenduka bahamba.
Isaanis, ijoollee isaanii xixinnoo, horii isaaniitii fi qabeenya isaanii of dura buusanii of irra garagalanii qajeelan.
22 Sebehambe isibanga esithize besuka endlini kaMikha, abantu ababehlala eduzane lendlu kaMikha babizelwa ndawonye baxhuma abakoDani.
Yeroo isaan mana Miikaa irraa xinnoo fagaatanii deemanittis, namoonni ollaa mana Miikaa wal waamanii namoota Daan duukaa buʼanii qaqqaban.
23 Kwathi bebamemeza, abakoDani baphendula bathi kuMikha, “Kungani ubize abantu bakho ukuba balwe?”
Isaan itti iyyinaan warri Daan of irra garagalanii Miikaadhaan, “Ati maal barbaaddee namoota kee waammattee nu loluuf dhufte?” jedhan.
24 Yena waphendula wathi, “Lithethe onkulunkulu engabenzayo lomphristi wami, lahamba. Kuyini okunye engilakho? Lingangibuza kanjani lisithi, ‘Uhlutshwa yini na?’”
Innis deebisee, “Isin waaqota ani tolfadhee fi luba koo fudhattaniirtu. Wanni naa hafe maaltu jira? Yoos isin akkamitti, ‘Maali taate?’ naan jettu ree?”
25 AbakoDani baphendula bathi, “Ungaphikisani lathi, hlezi abanye abantu abalolaka bakuhlasele, kuthi wena labendlu yakho lilahlekelwe yikuphila kwenu.”
Namoonni Daanis, “Afaan kee nutti hin banin; yoo kanaa achii namoonni obsa hin qabne tokko tokko si dhaʼu; atii fi maatiin kees lubbuu keessan dhabdu” jedhaniin.
26 Ngakho abakoDani bazihambela, kwathi uMikha ebona ukuthi babelamandla kakhulu kulaye, waphenduka wabuyela emzini wakhe.
Ergasii namoonni Daan karaa isaanii itti fufan; Miikaan akka isaan humna isaatii ol taʼan hubatee of irra garagalee gara mana ofii isaatti qajeele.
27 Bathatha okwakwenziwe nguMikha, lomphristi wakhe, baya eLayishi, ebantwini ababelokuthula njalo bengethuki lutho. Babahlasela ngenkemba batshisa ledolobho labo.
Isaan waan Miikaan tolfatee fi luba isaa fudhatanii Laayishitti qajeelanii saba yaaddoo tokko malee nagaan jiraatutti duulan. Goraadeedhaan isaan fixanii magaalaa isaaniis guban.
28 Kakho owayengabahlenga ngoba babehlezi khatshana kakhulu leSidoni bengelabuhlobo lamuntu. Idolobho lalisesigodini eduze leBhethi-Rehobhi. AbakoDani balakha kutsha idolobho lelo bahlala kulo.
Sababii isaan Siidoon irraa fagaatanii jiraatanii fi eenyuma wajjin walitti dhufeenya hin qabneef kan isaan baraaru tokko iyyuu hin jiru ture. Magaalaan sun sulula keessa Beet Rehooboot biratti argamti turte. Namoonni Daan magaalaa sana deebisanii ijaaruudhaan achi jiraatan.
29 Balibiza ngokuthi yiDani ibizo likakhokho wabo uDani, owayezalwa ngu-Israyeli, lanxa idolobho lalikade lithiwa yiLayishi.
Magaalaan sun duraan Laayish jedhamti turte; isaan garuu Daan jedhanii maqaa abbaa isaanii Daan namicha Israaʼeliif dhalate sanaatiin moggaasan.
30 AbakoDani bazimisela izithombe khona, njalo uJonathani indodana kaGeshomu, indodana kaMosi, lamadodana akhe babengabaphristi besizwana sikaDani kwaze kwaba yisikhathi sokuthunjwa kwelizwe.
Achittis namoonni Daan ofii isaaniitiif waaqota tolfamoo dhaabbatan; Yoonaataan ilmi Geershoom, ilmi Musee sunii fi ilmaan isaa hamma biyyattiin boojiʼamtetti luboota gosa Daan turan.
31 Baqhubeka basebenzisa izithombe ezazenziwe nguMikha, ngasosonke isikhathi indlu kaNkulunkulu iseShilo.
Kanaafuu isaan ittuma fufanii bara manni Waaqaa Shiiloo ture guutuu waaqota Miikaan tolfatetti fayyadamaa turan.
