1 USamuyeli 17
1 AmaFilisti asebuthela amabutho awo impi; abuthana eSoko engeyakoJuda, amisa inkamba phakathi kweSoko leAzeka, eEfesi-Damimi.
Yeroo sana Filisxeemonni lolaaf humna isaanii walitti qabatanii Yihuudaa keessatti Sookootitti wal gaʼan. Isaanis Sakootii fi Azeeqaa gidduu Efes Damiim keessa qubatan.
2 USawuli lamadoda akoIsrayeli babuthana, bamisa inkamba esigodini seEla, bahlela impi ukumelana lamaFilisti.
Saaʼolii fi namoonni Israaʼel immoo wal gaʼanii Sulula Elaa keessa qubatan; Filisxeemota waraanuufis hiriiran.
3 AmaFilisti asesima entabeni ngapha, loIsrayeli wema entabeni ngale, lesigodi sasiphakathi kwabo.
Filisxeemonni gaara tokko qabatan; Israaʼeloonni immoo tulluu kaan qabatan; gidduu isaanii immoo sululatu ture.
4 Kwasekuphuma enkambeni yamaFilisti iqhawe; ibizo lalo lalinguGoliyathi weGathi; ubude balo babuyizingalo eziyisithupha lokwelulwa kweminwe.
Namichi beekamaan Gaatii dhufe kan maqaan isaa Gooliyaad jedhamu tokko qubata Filisxeemotaa keessaa gad baʼe. Hojjaan isaas dhundhuma jaʼaa fi taakkuu tokko ture.
5 Kwakulekhowa lethusi ekhanda lalo; laligqoke ibhatshi lensimbi elilamaxolo; njalo isisindo sebhatshi lensimbi sasingamashekeli ethusi ayizinkulungwane ezinhlanu.
Innis gonfoo naasii mataatti kaaʼatee qomee naasii kan saqilii kuma shan ulfaatu uffata ture;
6 Njalo kwakulemigwamazi yethusi emibaleni yalo, lomkhonto wethusi phakathi laphakathi kwamahlombe alo.
miilla isaattis gambaallee naasii hidhatee gatiittii isaatti eeboo baadhata ture.
7 Loluthi lomkhonto walo lwalunjengogodo lomaluki, lengqamu yomkhonto walo yayingamashekeli ensimbi angamakhulu ayisithupha; lophatha isihlangu esikhulu wayehamba phambi kwalo.
Somaan eeboo isaa furdaa akka muka wayya dhooftuun wayyaa itti martuu ture; sibiilli eeboo isaas saqilii dhibba jaʼa ulfaata ture. Baattuun gaachana isaas fuula isaa dura deema ture.
8 Lema, lamemeza emaviyweni akoIsrayeli lathi kuwo: Liphumelani ukuzahlela impi? Kangisuye umFilisti yini, lani izinceku zikaSawuli? Zikhetheleni umuntu ehlele kimi.
Gooliyaadis loltoota Israaʼel kanneen waraanaaf hiriiranitti iyyee akkana jedhe; “Isin waraanaaf hiriirtanii baʼuun keessan maaliif? Ani nama Filisxeem, isin immoo tajaajiltoota Saaʼol mitii? Ofii keessanii nama tokko filadhaatii inni gara kootti gad haa buʼu.
9 Uba elakho ukulwa lami angibulale, sizakuba yizigqili zenu; kodwa uba mina ngimehlula ngimbulale, lizakuba yizigqili zethu, lisisebenzele.
Yoo inni na lolee na ajjeesuu dandaʼe, nu isin jalatti bulla; yoo ani isa moʼadhee isa ajjeese garuu isin nu jalatti bultanii tajaajiltoota keenya taatu.”
10 UmFilisti wasesithi: Mina ngiyaweyisa amaviyo akoIsrayeli lamuhla; nginikani indoda ukuze silwisane.
Filisxeemichis, “Ani harʼa Israaʼeliin nan morkadha! Akka wal lolluuf nama tokko naa kennaa” jedhe.
11 Lapho uSawuli loIsrayeli wonke besizwa lamazwi omFilisti, batshaywa luvalo, besaba kakhulu.
Saaʼolii fi Israaʼeloonni hundi yommuu dubbii kana dhagaʼanitti akka malee raafaman; ni sodaatanis.
12 UDavida wayeyindodana yalowomEfrathi weBhethelehema-Juda, obizo lakhe lalinguJese; wayelamadodana ayisificaminwembili. Njalo lowomuntu wahamba njengomuntu omdala phakathi kwamadoda ensukwini zikaSawuli.
Daawit ilma Isseeyi namicha Efraataa kan Beetlihem Yihuudaa sanaa ti. Isseeyis ilmaan saddeeti qaba ture; innis bara Saaʼol keessa nama dulloomee jaare ture.
13 Asehamba amadodana amathathu kaJese amadala, amlandela uSawuli empini. Lamabizo amadodana akhe amathathu ayeyile empini ayenguEliyabi izibulo, lowesibili wakhe uAbinadaba, lowesithathu uShama.
Ilmaan Isseey hangafoonni sadan Saaʼolin duukaa buʼanii lafa waraanaa dhaqanii turan; maqaan isaaniis inni hangafni Eliiyaab, inni lammaffaan Abiinaadaab, inni sadaffaan immoo Shamaa jedhama ture.
14 Njalo uDavida nguye owayelicinathunjana; lamathathu amadala alandela uSawuli.
Daawit quxisuu hunda isaanii ture. Isaan hangafoonni sadan Saaʼolin duukaa buʼanii deeman;
15 Kodwa uDavida wahamba wabuyela esuka kuSawuli ukuyakwelusa izimvu zikayise eBhethelehema.
Daawit garuu hoolota abbaa isaa tiksuuf jedhee Saaʼol biraa Beetlihemitti deddeebiʼaa ture.
16 UmFilisti wayesondela-ke ekuseni kakhulu lantambama ezimisa okwensuku ezingamatshumi amane.
Namichi Filisxeem sunis guyyaa afurtama ganama ganamaa fi galgala galgala dhufee isaanitti of mulʼisa ture.
17 UJese wasesithi kuDavida indodana yakhe: Ake uthathele abafowenu i-efa lamabele akhanzingiweyo, lalezizinkwa ezilitshumi, ugijimele enkambeni kubafowenu.
Isseey immoo ilma isaa Daawitiin akkana jedhe; “Akaayii kana irraa iifii tokkoo fi buddeena kurnan kana fuudhiitii ariitiidhaan obboloota keetiif iddoo qubata isaaniitti geessi.
18 Laleziziqa zetshizi ezilitshumi uziphathele induna yenkulungwane; ubone impilakahle yabafowenu, uthathe isibambiso kibo.
Baaduu kurnan kana immoo ajajaa kumaa isaaniitiif geessi. Haala obboloonni kee keessa jiran ilaaliitii oduu isaanii fidii kottu.
19 Njalo uSawuli, labo, lawo wonke amadoda akoIsrayeli babesesigodini seEla besilwa lamaFilisti.
Isaan Saaʼolii fi namoota Israaʼel wajjin Sulula Elaa keessatti Filisxeemota lolaa jiru.”
20 UDavida wasevuka ekuseni kakhulu, watshiya izimvu kumlindi, wakuthatha wahamba njengokulaywa kwakhe nguJese. Wafika enqabeni yezinqola lapho ibutho liphuma ngamaviyo, bememezela impi.
Daawitis tiksee biratti bushaayee dhiisee ganama barii kaʼee nyaata sana qabatee akkuma Isseey isa ajajetti kaʼee qajeele. Innis utuu loltoonni dhaadachaa hiriiraan adda waraanaatti yaaʼaa jiranuu lafa qubataa gaʼe.
21 Njalo uIsrayeli lamaFilisti bahlela iviyo laqondana leviyo.
Israaʼelii fi Filisxeemonni tarree tarreedhaan fuula walitti garagalfatan.
22 UDavida wasetshiya impahla ezisuka kuye ngaphansi kwesandla somlindi wempahla, wagijimela eviyweni wafika wabuza abafowabo impilakahle.
Daawitis miʼa isaa eegduu miʼaa biratti dhiisee gara adda waraanaatti fiigee obboloota isaa nagaa gaafate.
23 Esakhuluma labo, khangela, iqhawe lenyuka, ibizo lalo lalinguGoliyathi, umFilisti weGathi, laphuma emaviyweni amaFilisti, lakhuluma njengokwalawomazwi; loDavida wawezwa.
Utuma inni isaan wajjin haasaʼaa jiruu, Gooliyaad jagnichi Filisxeem namichi Gaati sun hiriira Filisxeemotaa keessaa dubbiidhuma kanaan dura dubbachaa ture sana dubbate; Daawitis isa dhagaʼe.
24 Njalo wonke amadoda akoIsrayeli athi embona lowomuntu ambalekela, esaba kakhulu.
Israaʼeloonni hundinuu yommuu namicha arganitti sodaa guddaadhaan isa biraa baqatan.
25 Amadoda akoIsrayeli athi-ke: Limbonile lowana umuntu owenyukileyo yini? Ngoba wenyukele ukweyisa uIsrayeli. Kuzakuthi-ke indoda ezambulala, inkosi izayinothisa ngenotho enkulu, iyinike lendodakazi yayo, lendlu kayise izayenza ikhululeke koIsrayeli.
Israaʼeloonnis, “Isin akka namichi kun as deddeebiʼaa jiru argituu? Inni dhugumaan Israaʼeliin morkachuuf dhufe. Mootiin nama isa ajjeesuuf qabeenya guddaa kenna. Intala isaa illee itti heerumsiisa; maatii abbaa isaas akka Israaʼel keessatti gibira hin gabbarre godha” waliin jechaa turan.
26 UDavida wasekhuluma emadodeni ayemi laye esithi: Kuzakwenziwani endodeni ebulala lumFilisti, isuse ihlazo koIsrayeli? Ngoba ungubani lumFilisti ongasokanga ukuthi aweyise amaviyo kaNkulunkulu ophilayo?
Daawit namoota isa bira dhadhaabachaa turaniin, “Nama namicha Filisxeem kana ajjeesee Israaʼel irraa salphina kana fuudhuuf maaltu godhama? Filisxeemichi dhagna hin qabatin kun akka loltoota Waaqa jiraataa doorsisuuf inni eenyuu?” jedhee gaafate.
27 Abantu basebemphendula njengalelolizwi besithi: Kuzakwenziwa njalo endodeni embulalayo.
Namoonnis, “Wanni nama isa ajjeesuuf godhamu kanuma” jedhanii dubbiidhuma duraan dubbachaa turan sana irra deebiʼanii itti himan.
28 UEliyabi umnewabo omdala wezwa-ke lapho ekhuluma lamadoda; lentukuthelo kaEliyabi yavuthela uDavida, wathi: Wehleleleni lapha? Izimvu leziyana ezinlutshwana uzitshiye lobani egangeni? Mina ngiyakwazi ukuziqhenya kwakho lobubi benhliziyo yakho; ngoba wehlele ukubona impi.
Eliiyaab hangafni Daawit inni jalqabaa Daawit namoota wajjin dubbachaa akka jiru yommuu argetti aaree gubatee akkana jedhe; “Ati maal gochuu as gad buute? Hoolota muraasa sana gammoojjii keessatti eenyutti dhiiftee dhufte? Ani of tuulummaa keetii fi hammina garaa keetii nan beeka; ati waraana ilaaluu dhufteetii.”
29 Kodwa uDavida wathi: Sengenzeni? Bekungasilizwi nje yini?
Daawit immoo, “Ani amma maalin godhe? Ani dubbachuu illee hin dandaʼuu?” jedhe.
30 Wasemfulathela, waya komunye, wakhuluma laye njengokwalelolizwi; abantu basebebuyisela impendulo kuye njengelizwi lakuqala.
Ergasiis gara nama biraatti garagalee waanuma duraa sana gaafate; namoonnis akkuma jalqabaatti deebisaniif.
31 Lapho sebewezwile amazwi uDavida awakhulumayo, bawakhuluma phambi kukaSawuli; wasememukela.
Wanni Daawit jechaa tures dhagaʼamee Saaʼol qaqqabe; Saaʼolis isa waamsise.
32 UDavida wasesithi kuSawuli: Kakungehluleki inhliziyo yomuntu ngenxa yakhe; inceku yakho izahamba iyekulwa lalowomFilisti.
Daawitis Saaʼoliin, “Sababii namicha Filisxeem kanaatiif namni tokko iyyuu abdii hin kutatin; ani garbichi kee dhaqee isa nan waraana” jedhe.
33 Kodwa uSawuli wathi kuDavida: Ungeke waya kulumFilisti ukulwa laye; ngoba wena ungumfana, yena-ke uyindoda yempi kusukela ebutsheni bakhe.
Saaʼolis Daawitiin, “Ati dhaqxee Filisxeemicha kana waraanuu hin dandeessu; ati ijoollee dha; inni immoo ijoollummaa isaatii jalqabee loltuu ture” jedhe.
34 Kodwa uDavida wathi kuSawuli: Inceku yakho yayiselusa izimvu zikayise; lapho kwafika isilwane lebhere, kwathatha imvu emhlanjini,
Daawit garuu Saaʼoliin akkana jedhe; “Garbichi kee hoolota abbaa isaa tiksaa ture. Yeroo leenci yookaan amaakenni dhufee bushaayee keessaa tokko fudhatutti,
35 ngaphuma ngakulandela, ngakutshaya, ngayikhulula emlonyeni wakho; lapho kungivukela, ngakubamba ngendevu, ngakutshaya, ngakubulala.
ani isa faana fiigee dhaʼee hoolaa sana afaan isaatii nan buusisan ture. Yoo inni natti gara gale immoo kokkee isaa qabee dhaʼee isa ajjeesa ture.
36 Inceku yakho yabulala kokubili isilwane lebhere; lalo umFilisti ongasokanga uzakuba njengokunye kwakho, lokhu eyise amaviyo kaNkulunkulu ophilayo.
Ani garbichi kee leencaa fi amaaketa ajjeeseera; Filisxeemichi dhagna hin qabatin kunis akkuma tokkoo isaanii taʼa; inni loltoota Waaqa jiraataa doorsiseeraatii.
37 UDavida wathi futhi: INkosi eyangophula kuzipho lwesilwane lakuzipho lwebhere, yona izangophula esandleni salo umFilisti. USawuli wasesithi kuDavida: Hamba, leNkosi kayibe lawe.
Waaqayyo inni irree leencaatii fi irree amaaketaa jalaa na baase sun harka Filisxeemicha kanaa jalaas na baasa.” Saaʼolis Daawitiin, “Dhaqi, Waaqayyo si wajjin haa taʼu” jedhe.
38 USawuli wasegqokisa uDavida izigqoko zakhe, wafaka ikhowa lethusi ekhanda lakhe, wamgqokisa ibhatshi lensimbi.
Ergasiis Saaʼol uffata lolaa kan ofii isaa Daawititti uffise. Qomee sibiilaa itti uffisee gonfoo naasii mataa isaatti kaaʼeef.
39 UDavida wasebhinca inkemba yakhe phezu kwezigqoko zakhe, walinga ukuhamba, ngoba wayengakuzamanga. UDavida wasesithi kuSawuli: Kangilakho ukuhamba ngilalezizinto ngoba kangizizamanga. UDavida wasezikhumula kuye.
Daawitis sababii duraan itti fayyadamee hin beekneef uffata Saaʼol irratti goraadee hidhatee asii fi achi deemuu yaale. Innis Saaʼoliin, “Ani waanan duraan itti fayyadamee hin beekneef hidhadhee deemuu hin dandaʼu” jedhe. Kanaafuu of irraa baase.
40 Wasethatha umqwayi wakhe esandleni sakhe, wazikhethela amatshe amahlanu abutshelezi esifuleni, wawafaka esikhwameni sikamelusi ayelaso, ngitsho emxhakeni, lesavutha sakhe sasisesandleni sakhe, wasesondela kumFilisti.
Ergasii ulee isaa harkatti qabatee dhagaa soofamaa shan lagaa filatee kiisii korojoo tikseetti naqate; furrisa isaas harkatti qabatee gara Filisxeemichaatti dhiʼaate.
41 UmFilisti wasehamba waya wasondela kuDavida; lomuntu ophethe isihlangu esikhulu wayephambi kwakhe.
Namichi Filisxeem sunis namicha miʼa lolaa isaaf baatu of dura qajeelchee Daawititti dhiʼaate.
42 Kwathi umFilisti ekhangela ebona uDavida, wameyisa; ngoba wayengumfana njalo ebomvana elobuso obubukekayo.
Innis Daawitin ilaalee akka inni mucaa diimaa miidhagaa taʼe hubatee isa tuffate.
43 UmFilisti wasesithi kuDavida: Ngiyinja yini ukuthi wena uze kimi ulezinduku? UmFilisti wasemqalekisa uDavida ngabonkulunkulu bakhe.
Filisxeemichis, “Kan ati ulee qabattee natti dhuftu ani sareedhaa?” jedhee waaqota ofii isaatiin Daawitin abaare.
44 UmFilisti wasesithi kuDavida: Woza kimi, ngizanika inyoni zamazulu lenyamazana zeganga inyama yakho.
Akkasumas, “As kottu; ani foon kee allaattii samiitii fi bineensota bosonaatiif nan kennaa!” jedheen.
45 UDavida wasesithi kumFilisti: Wena uza kimi ulenkemba, lomkhonto, lomdikadika; kodwa mina ngiza kuwe ngebizo leNkosi yamabandla, uNkulunkulu wamaviyo akoIsrayeli omeyisileyo.
Kana irratti Daawit Filisxeemichaan akkana jedhe; “Ati kunoo goraadee, eeboo fi bodee qabatee natti dhufta; ani garuu maqaa Waaqayyoo Waan Hunda Dandaʼuu, Waaqa loltoota Israaʼel kan ati doorsifte sanaatiin sittin dhufa.
46 Lamuhla iNkosi izakuvalela esandleni sami, ngizakutshaya, ngisuse ikhanda lakho kuwe; nginike lamuhla inyoni zamazulu lenyamazana zomhlaba izidumbu zebutho lamaFilisti, ukuze umhlaba wonke wazi ukuthi kukhona uNkulunkulu koIsrayeli.
Harʼa Waaqayyo dabarsee harka kootti si kenna; anis si ajjeesee mataa kee sirraan kuta. Ani harʼa reeffa Filisxeemotaa allaattii samiitii fi bineensota lafaatiif nan kenna; addunyaan hundis akka Israaʼel keessa Waaqni jiru ni beeka.
47 Lalelibandla lonke lizakwazi ukuthi iNkosi kayisindisi ngenkemba langomkhonto; ngoba impi ngeyeNkosi, njalo izalinikela esandleni sethu.
Namoonni asitti walitti qabaman hundi akka Waaqayyo goraadee fi eeboodhaan nama hin baafne ni baru; sababii lolli kun kan Waaqayyoo taʼeef inni dabarsee harka keenyatti isin kenna.”
48 Kwasekusithi lapho umFilisti esukuma ehamba esondela ukuhlangabeza uDavida, uDavida wasephangisa wagijimela ngaseviyweni ukuhlangana lomFilisti.
Yommuu Filisxeemichi isa dhaʼuuf dhufettis Daawit isa loluuf fiigee adda waraanaa seene.
49 UDavida wasefaka isandla sakhe esikhwameni, wakhupha khona ilitshe, walijikijela, wamtshaya umFilisti ebunzini lakhe ilitshe laze latshona ebunzini lakhe, wawela emhlabathini ngobuso bakhe.
Harka isaas korojoo isaa keessa kaaʼee dhagaa tokko fudhatee furrisaan darbatee adda Filisxeemichaa dhaʼe. Dhagaan sunis adda isaa keessa bade; Filisxeemichis addaan lafatti gombifame.
50 Ngalokho uDavida wamehlula umFilisti ngesavutha langelitshe, wamtshaya umFilisti, wambulala; kodwa kwakungelankemba esandleni sikaDavida.
Daawit akkasiin furrisaa fi dhagaadhaan Filisxeemicha moʼate; Daawit utuma goraadee of harkaa hin qabaatin Filisxeemicha dhaʼee ajjeese.
51 Ngakho uDavida wagijima wema phezu komFilisti, wathatha inkemba yakhe, wayihwatsha esikhwameni sayo, wambulala, waquma ikhanda lakhe ngayo. Lapho amaFilisti ebona ukuthi iqhawe lawo selifile, abaleka.
Daawit fiigee Filisxeemicha irra ejjete. Goraadee Filisxeemichaas manʼee keessaa luqqisee baafate. Erga isa ajjeesee booddees goraadee sanaan mataa isaa irraa kute. Filisxeemonni yommuu akka goonni isaanii duʼe arganitti of irra garagalanii baqatan.
52 Lamadoda akoIsrayeli lawakoJuda asukuma amemeza, axotshana lamaFilisti uze uyefika esigodini lemasangweni eEkhironi. Labalimeleyo bamaFilisti bawela endleleni yeShaharayimi kuze kube seGathi njalo kuze kube seEkhironi.
Ergasii namoonni Israaʼelii fi namoonni Yihuudaa kaʼanii dhaadachaa hamma balbala Gaatii fi karra Eqroonitti Filisxeemota ariʼan. Reeffi Filisxeemotaas karaa Shaʼarayiimitti geessu irratti hamma Gaatii fi Eqroonitti harcaʼe.
53 Abantwana bakoIsrayeli basebephenduka ekuxotshaneni ngamandla lamaFilisti, baphanga inkamba zawo.
Israaʼeloonni yommuu Filisxeemota ariʼuu irraa deebiʼanitti qubata isaanii saaman.
54 UDavida wasethatha ikhanda lomFilisti, waliletha eJerusalema; kodwa wabeka izikhali zakhe ethenteni lakhe.
Daawitis mataa Filisxeemichaa fudhatee gara Yerusaalemitti fide; miʼa lolaa Filisxeemichaas dunkaana ofii isaatti galfate.
55 Lapho uSawuli ebona uDavida ephuma ukuyahlangabeza umFilisti, wathi kuAbhineri induna yebutho: Uyindodana kabani lumfana Abhineri? UAbhineri wasesithi: Kuphila komphefumulo wakho, nkosi, kangazi.
Saaʼol yommuu akka Daawit Filisxeemicha loluuf deemu argetti, Abneer ajajaa waraana Israaʼeliin, “Abneer, gurbaan kun ilma eenyuu ti?” jedhe. Abneeris, “Yaa Mootii, duʼa kee ti ani hin beeku” jedhee deebise.
56 Inkosi yasisithi: Buza wena ukuthi liyindodana kabani lelijaha.
Mootichis, “Egaa akka gurbaan kun ilma eenyuu taʼe iyyaafadhuuttii bira gaʼi” jedheen.
57 Lapho uDavida esephendukile ekubulaleni umFilisti, uAbhineri wamthatha, wamusa phambi kukaSawuli elekhanda lomFilisti esandleni sakhe.
Akkuma Daawit Filisxeemicha ajjeesee deebiʼeen, Abneer Daawitii mataa Filisxeemichaa harkatti qabatee jiru fuula Saaʼol duratti dhiʼeesse.
58 USawuli wasesithi kuye: Uyindodana kabani, jaha? UDavida wasesithi: Ngiyindodana yenceku yakho uJese umBhethelehema.
Saaʼolis, “Gurbayyoo ati ilma eenyuu ti?” jedhee gaafate. Daawit immoo, “Ani ilma garbicha keetii ilma Isseeyi namicha Beetlihem sanaa ti” jedhee deebise.
