1 Seenaa 11

1 Israaʼeloonni hundinuu Kebroonitti Daawit biratti walitti dhufanii akkana jedhan; “Nu foonii fi dhiiga kee ti.

Then all Israel gathered themselves to David unto Hebron, saying: 'Behold, we are thy bone and thy flesh.

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.”

In times past, even when Saul was king, it was thou that didst lead out and bring in Israel; and the LORD thy God said unto thee: Thou shalt feed My people Israel, and thou shalt be prince over My people Israel.'

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 to Hebron; and David made a covenant with them in Hebron before the LORD; and they anointed David king over Israel, according to the word of the LORD by the hand of Samuel.

4 Daawitii fi Israaʼeloonni hundinuu gara Yerusaalemitti jechuunis Yebuusiitti ni qajeelan. Yebuusonni achi jiraatan garuu

And David and all Israel went to Jerusalem — the same is Jebus — and the Jebusites, the inhabitants of the land, were there.

5 Daawitiin, “Ati as hin seentu” jedhan. Taʼus Daawit daʼannoo Xiyoon jechuunis Magaalaa Daawit ni qabate.

And the inhabitants of Jebus said to David: 'Thou shalt not come in hither.' Nevertheless David took the stronghold of Zion; the same 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.

And David said: 'Whosoever smiteth the Jebusites first shall be chief and captain.' And Joab the son of Zeruiah went up first, and was made chief.

7 Daawitis iddoo jireenya isaa daʼannoo sana keessa godhate; kanaafuu daʼannoon sun Magaalaa Daawit jedhamee waamame.

And David dwelt in the stronghold; therefore they called it the city of David.

8 Innis Miiloodhaa jalqabee naannoo isheetti dallaa dhagaa ni ijaare; Yooʼaab immoo kutaa Magaalaa sanaa kan hafe deebisee ijaare.

And he built the city round about, from Millo even round about; and Joab repaired the rest of the city.

9 Daawitis sababii Waaqayyoon Waan Hunda Dandaʼu isa wajjin tureef yeruma yeroon jabaachaa dhufe.

And David waxed 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 are the chief of the mighty men whom David had, who held strongly with him in his kingdom, together with all Israel, to make him king, 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.

And this is the number of the mighty men whom David had: Jashobeam, the son of a Hachmonite, the chief of the captains; he lifted up his spear against three hundred and slew them at one time.

12 Kan isatti aanu immoo Eleʼaazaar namicha gosa Ahooʼaa, ilma Doodoo ture; innis namoota jajjaboo sadan sana keessaa tokko ture.

And after him was Eleazar the son of Dodo, the Ahohite, who was 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, and there the Philistines were gathered together to battle, where was a plot of ground full of barley; and the people fled from before the Philistines.

14 Innii fi Daawit garuu lafa qotiisaa walakkaatti iddoo qabatan. Isaanis irraa ittisuudhaan Filisxeemota fixan; Waaqayyos moʼannaa guddaa isaaniif kenne.

But they stood in the midst of the plot, and defended it, and slew the Philistines; and the LORD saved them by 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.

And three of the thirty chiefs went down to the rock to David, unto the cave of Adullam; and the host of the Philistines were encamped in the valley of Rephaim.

16 Yeroo sanatti Daawit daʼannoo cimaa keessa ture; loltoonni Filisxeem immoo Beetlihem turan.

And David was then in the stronghold, and the garrison of the Philistines was then in Beth-lehem.

17 Daawitis dheebotee, “Utuu namni tokko boolla bishaanii kan karra Beetlihem bira jiru keessaa bishaan dhugaatii naa fidee hoo!” jedhe.

And David longed, and said: 'Oh that one would give me water to drink of the well of Beth-lehem, which is by the gate!'

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.

And the three broke through the host of the Philistines, and drew water out of the well of Beth-lehem, that was by the gate, and took it, and brought it to David; but David would not drink thereof, but poured it out unto 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.

and said: 'My God forbid it me, that I should do this; shall I drink the blood of these men that have put their lives in jeopardy? for with the jeopardy of their lives they brought it.' Therefore he would not drink it. These things did 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.

And Abishai, the brother of Joab, he was chief of the three; for he lifted up his spear against three hundred and slew them, and had a name among the three.

21 Inni yoo isaan keessaa tokko taʼuu baate iyyuu warra Sadan caalaa ulfina argatee ajajaa isaanii taʼe.

Of the three in the second rank he was the most honourable, and was made their captain; howbeit he attained not to the first 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.

Beniah the son of Jehoiada, the son of a valiant man of Kabzeel, who had done mighty deeds, he smote the two altar-hearths of Moab; he went down also and slew a lion in the midst of a pit in time of snow.

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.

And he slew an Egyptian, a man of great stature, five cubits high; and in the Egyptian's hand was a spear like a weaver's beam; and he went down to him with a staff, and plucked the spear out of the Egyptian's hand, and slew him with his own spear.

24 Hojiiwwan gootummaa kanneen Benaayaa ilmi Yehooyaadaa hojjete kana faʼi; innis akkuma namoota jajjaboo sadan sanaa nama beekamaa ture.

These things did Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and had a name among 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.

Behold, he was more honourable than the thirty, but he attained not to the first three; and David set him over his guard.
