1 Seenaa 11
1 Israaʼeloonni hundinuu Kebroonitti Daawit biratti walitti dhufanii akkana jedhan; “Nu foonii fi dhiiga kee ti.
Then all Israel came together to David at Hebron and said, “Here we are, your own flesh and blood.
2 Duraan, yeroo Saaʼol mootii turetti iyyuu namni duula loltoota Israaʼel hoogganu siʼi ture. Waaqayyoo Waaqni kees, ‘Situ saba koo Israaʼelin tiksa; bulchaa isaaniis ni taata’ siin jedhee ture.”
Even in times past, while Saul was king, you were the one who led Israel out and brought them back. And the LORD your God said, ‘You will shepherd My people Israel, and you will be ruler over them.’”
3 Yommuu maanguddoonni Israaʼel hundi Kebroonitti Daawit Mooticha bira dhufanitti, inni Kebroonitti fuula Waaqayyoo duratti isaan wajjin kakuu gale. Isaanis akkuma Waaqayyo karaa Saamuʼeeliin abdachiise sanatti dibanii Israaʼel irratti mootii isa godhan.
So all the elders of Israel came to the king at Hebron, where David made a covenant with them before the LORD. And they anointed him king over Israel, according to the word of the LORD through Samuel.
4 Daawitii fi Israaʼeloonni hundinuu gara Yerusaalemitti jechuunis Yebuusiitti ni qajeelan. Yebuusonni achi jiraatan garuu
Then David and all the Israelites marched to Jerusalem (that is, Jebus), where the Jebusites inhabited the land.
5 Daawitiin, “Ati as hin seentu” jedhan. Taʼus Daawit daʼannoo Xiyoon jechuunis Magaalaa Daawit ni qabate.
The people of Jebus said to David, “You will never get in here.” Nevertheless, David captured the fortress of Zion (that is, the City of David).
6 Daawitis, “Namni duraan dursee dhaqee Yebuusota lolu ajajaa loltootaa taʼa” jedhee ture. Yooʼaab ilmi Zeruuyaa jalqabatti baʼe; kanaafuu inni ajajaa waraanaa taʼe.
Now David had said, “Whoever is the first to strike down a Jebusite will become chief commander.” And Joab son of Zeruiah went up first, and he became the chief.
7 Daawitis iddoo jireenya isaa daʼannoo sana keessa godhate; kanaafuu daʼannoon sun Magaalaa Daawit jedhamee waamame.
So David took up residence in the fortress; that is why it was called the City of David.
8 Innis Miiloodhaa jalqabee naannoo isheetti dallaa dhagaa ni ijaare; Yooʼaab immoo kutaa Magaalaa sanaa kan hafe deebisee ijaare.
He built up the city around it, from the supporting terraces to the surrounding wall, while Joab restored the rest of the city.
9 Daawitis sababii Waaqayyoon Waan Hunda Dandaʼu isa wajjin tureef yeruma yeroon jabaachaa dhufe.
And David became greater and greater, for the LORD of Hosts was with him.
10 Namoota Daawit warra jajjaboo keessaa hangafoonni kanneenii dha; isaanis akkuma Waaqayyo waaʼee Israaʼel dubbate sanatti mootii isa gochuuf jedhanii saba Israaʼel hunda wajjin mootummaa isaa keessatti gargaarsa guddaa godhaniif.
Now these were the chiefs of David’s mighty men, who, together with all Israel, bolstered and strengthened his kingdom, according to the word of the LORD concerning Israel.
11 Maqaan namoota Daawit warra jajjaboo kanaa dha: Yaashobiʼaam namichi gosa Hakmooni hangafa ajajjoota sanaa ture; innis lola tokko irratti eeboo mirmirsee namoota dhibba sadii fixe.
This is the list of David’s mighty men: Jashobeam son of Hachmoni was chief of the officers; he wielded his spear against three hundred men, whom he killed at one time.
12 Kan isatti aanu immoo Eleʼaazaar namicha gosa Ahooʼaa, ilma Doodoo ture; innis namoota jajjaboo sadan sana keessaa tokko ture.
Next in command was Eleazar son of Dodo the Ahohite, one of the three mighty men.
13 Eleʼaazaar yeroo Filisxeemonni waraanaaf walitti qabamanii turanitti Daawit wajjin Phaas Damiim ture. Loltoonnis lafa qotiisaa kan garbuudhaan guutame tokko biratti Filisxeemota duraa baqatan.
He was with David at Pas-dammim when the Philistines gathered there for battle. At the place with a field full of barley, the troops fled from the Philistines.
14 Innii fi Daawit garuu lafa qotiisaa walakkaatti iddoo qabatan. Isaanis irraa ittisuudhaan Filisxeemota fixan; Waaqayyos moʼannaa guddaa isaaniif kenne.
But Eleazar and David stationed themselves in the middle of the field and defended it. They struck down the Philistines, and the LORD brought about a great victory.
15 Utuma gareen Filisxeemotaa Sulula Refaayim keessa qubatee jiruu hangafoota soddomman sana keessaa namoonni sadii gara kattaa holqa Adulaamitti gara Daawit gad buʼan.
Three of the thirty chief men went down to David, to the rock at the cave of Adullam, while a company of Philistines was encamped in the Valley of Rephaim.
16 Yeroo sanatti Daawit daʼannoo cimaa keessa ture; loltoonni Filisxeem immoo Beetlihem turan.
At that time David was in the stronghold, and the garrison of the Philistines was at Bethlehem.
17 Daawitis dheebotee, “Utuu namni tokko boolla bishaanii kan karra Beetlihem bira jiru keessaa bishaan dhugaatii naa fidee hoo!” jedhe.
David longed for water and said, “Oh, that someone would get me a drink of water from the well near the gate of Bethlehem!”
18 Kanaafuu namoonni Sadan sun qubata Filisxeemotaa keessaan darbanii boolla bishaanii kan karra Beetlihem bira jiru keessaa bishaan waraabanii Daawitiif fidan. Inni garuu dhuguu ni dide; qooda kanaa bishaan sana fuula Waaqayyoo duratti dhangalaase.
So the Three broke through the Philistine camp, drew water from the well at the gate of Bethlehem, and brought it back to David. But he refused to drink it; instead, he poured it out to the LORD,
19 Innis, “Akka ani waan kana hin goone Waaqni narraa haa fageessu! Ani dhiiga namoota lubbuu ofii isaaniitti muranii dhaqan kanaa nan dhugaa?” jedhe. Sababii isaan lubbuu ofii isaaniitti muranii dhaqanii fidaniif Daawit bishaan sana hin dhugne. Egaa wanni namoonni jajjaboon sadan sun hojjetan kana ture.
saying, “Far be it from me, my God, to do this! How can I drink the blood of these men who risked their lives?” Because they had brought it at the risk of their lives, David refused to drink it. Such were the exploits of the three mighty men.
20 Abiishaayi obboleessi Yooʼaab hoogganaa Sadan isaanii ture. Innis namoota dhibba sadiitti eeboo isaa ol kaafatee isaan fixe; akkasiin innis akkuma namoota Sadan sanaa beekamaa taʼe.
Now Abishai, the brother of Joab, was chief of the Three, and he lifted his spear against three hundred men, killed them, and won a name along with the Three.
21 Inni yoo isaan keessaa tokko taʼuu baate iyyuu warra Sadan caalaa ulfina argatee ajajaa isaanii taʼe.
He was doubly honored above the Three, and he became their commander, even though he was not included among the Three.
22 Benaayaa ilmi Yehooyaadaa loltuun cimaan biyya Qabziʼeel sunis loltuu moʼannaa gurguddaa argamsiise ture. Innis loltoota Moʼaab kanneen akka malee jajjaboo taʼan lama ajjeese. Gaafa cabbiin roobe tokkos boolla keessa seenee leenca ajjeese.
And Benaiah son of Jehoiada was a man of valor from Kabzeel, a man of many exploits. He struck down two champions of Moab, and on a snowy day he went down into a pit and killed a lion.
23 Namicha biyya Gibxi kan dhundhuma shan dheeratu tokko illee ni ajjeese. Namichi Gibxi sun eeboo akka danqaraa wayya dhooftuu harkaa qabaatu iyyuu Benaayaa bokkuudhaan isatti baʼe. Innis harka namicha Gibxi sanaatii eeboo butatee eeboodhuma isaatiin isa ajjeese.
He also killed an Egyptian, a huge man five cubits tall. Although the Egyptian had a spear like a weaver’s beam in his hand, Benaiah went against him with a club, snatched the spear from his hand, and killed the Egyptian with his own spear.
24 Hojiiwwan gootummaa kanneen Benaayaa ilmi Yehooyaadaa hojjete kana faʼi; innis akkuma namoota jajjaboo sadan sanaa nama beekamaa ture.
These were the exploits of Benaiah son of Jehoiada, who won a name alongside the three mighty men.
25 Inni namoota Soddomman sana keessaa nama kam iyyuu caalaa ulfina guddaa argate; garuu namoota Sadan sanatti hin dabalamne. Daawitis ajajaa eegdota ofii isaa isa godhate.
He was most honored among the Thirty, but he did not become one of the Three. And David appointed him over his guard.
