1 Seenaa 19
1 Ergasiis Naahaash mootiin Amoonotaa ni duʼe; ilmi isaa iddoo isaa buʼee mootii taʼe.
Now it came to pass that Naas the king of the children of Ammon died, and his son reigned is his stead.
2 Daawitis, “Sababii abbaan isaa naa arjoomeef anis Haanuun ilma Naahaashiif nan arjooma” jedhee yaade. Kanaafuu Daawit gadda waaʼee abbaa isaatiif itti dhagaʼame isaa ibsuuf Haanuunitti ergamoota ni erge. Yommuu namoonni Daawit dhaamsa gaddaa itti himuuf Haanuun bira biyya Amoonotaa dhaqanitti,
And David said: I will shew kindness to Hanon the son of Naas: for his father did a favour to me. And David sent messengers to comfort him upon the death of his father. But when they were come into the land of the children of Ammon, to comfort Hanon,
3 qondaaltonni Amoonotaa Haanuuniin, “Ati sababii Daawit akka isaan dhaamsa gaddaa sitti himaniif namoota sitti ergeef inni waan abbaa keetiif ulfina kenne seetaa? Ergamoonni isaa biyyattii qorachuu, basaasanii qabachuuf gara kee dhufan mitii?” jedhan.
The princes of the children of Ammon said to Hanon: Thou thinkest perhaps that David to do honour to thy father hath sent comforters to thee: and thou dost not take notice, that his servants are come to thee to consider, and search, and spy out thy land.
4 Kanaafuu Haanuun namoota Daawit sana qaqqabee rifeensa irraa haadee wayyaa isaanii illee teessuma irratti cicciree of irraa isaan erge.
Wherefore Hanon shaved the heads and beards of the servants of David, and cut away their garments from the buttocks to the feet, and sent them away.
5 Daawit yommuu namni tokko dhufee waaʼee namoota sanaa isatti himetti, sababii isaan akka malee qaanaʼaniif ergamoota gara isaaniitti erge. Mootichis “Isin hamma areedni keessan isinii guddatutti Yerikoo turaatii ergasii deebiʼaa kottaa” jedheen.
And when they were gone, they sent word to David, who sent to meet them (for they had suffered a great affront) and ordered them to stay at Jericho till their beards grew and then to return.
6 Amoononni yommuu akka Daawit isaan xireeffate hubatanitti Haanuunii fi Amoononni Phaadaan Arraamii, Araamaʼaakaa fi Zoobaadhaa gaariiwwan kireeffachuuf meetii taalaantii kuma tokko ni ergan.
And when the children of Ammon saw that they had done an injury to David, Hanon and the rest of the people sent a thousand talents of silver, to hire them chariots and horsemen out of Mesopotamia, and out of Syria Maacha, and out of Soba.
7 Isaanis gaariiwwan kuma soddomii lamaa fi ooftota gaariiwwanii, akkasumas mootii Maʼakaatii fi loltoota isaa kanneen dhufanii Meedebaa bira qubatan sana kireeffatan; Amoononni immoo magaalaawwan isaaniitii walitti qabamanii waraanatti ni qajeelan.
And they hired two and thirty thousand chariots, and the king of Maacha, with his people. And they came and camped over against Medaba. And the children of Ammon gathered themselves together out of their cities, and came to battle.
8 Daawit yommuu waan kana dhagaʼetti Yooʼaabii fi guutummaa loltootaa ni erge.
And when David heard of it, he sent Joab, and all the army of valiant men:
9 Amoononni immoo baʼanii karra magaalaa isaanii irratti waraanaaf hiriiran; mootonni dhufan sun immoo kophaa isaanii dirree irra turan.
And the children of Ammon came out and put their army in array before the gate of the city: and the kings, that were come to their aid, stood apart in the field.
10 Yooʼaabis akka fuula isaa duraa fi dugda isaa duubaan waraanni jiru ni arge; kanaafuu loltoota Israaʼel keessaa namoota bebeekamoo filatee adda loltoonni Sooriyaa jiranitti bobbaase.
Wherefore Joab understanding that the battle was set against him before and behind, chose out the bravest men of all Israel, and marched against the Syrians,
11 Namoota hafan immoo ajaja obboleessa isaa Abiishaayi jalatti ni hiriirse; isaanis Amoonotatti duulan.
And the rest of the people he delivered into the hand of Abisai his brother, and they went against the children of Ammon.
12 Yooʼaabis akkana jedhe; “Yoo warri Sooriyaa natti jabaatan ati na gargaarta; yoo Amoononni sitti jabaatan immoo ani sin gargaara.
And he said: If the Syrians be too strong for me, then thou shalt help me: but if the children of Ammon be too strong for thee, I will help thee.
13 Jabaadhaa saba keenyaa fi magaalaawwan Waaqa keenyaatiif garaa kutannaadhaan haa lollu. Waaqayyos waan fuula isaa duratti gaarii taʼe ni godha.”
Be of good courage and let us behave ourselves manfully for our people, and for the cities of our God: and the Lord will do that which is good in his sight.
14 Ergasii Yooʼaabii fi loltoonni isa wajjin turan warra Sooriyaa waraanuuf fuul duratti ni qajeelan; jarris fuula isaa duraa baqatan.
So Joab and the people that were with him, went against the Syrians to the battle: and he put them to flight.
15 Amoononni yommuu akka namoonni Sooriyaa baqatan arganitti isaanis fuula obboleessa isaa Abiishaayi duraa baqatanii magaalaa seenan. Akkasiin Yooʼaab Yerusaalemitti deebiʼe.
And the children of Ammon seeing that the Syrians were fled, they likewise fled from Abisai his brother, and went into the city: and Joab also returned to Jerusalem.
16 Namoonni Sooriyaa yommuu akka Israaʼeloonni isaan moʼatan arganitti ergamoota erganii namoota Sooriyaa kanneen Laga Efraaxiisiitiin gamaa fichisiisan; Shoofaki ajajaan loltoota Hadaadezer sun isaan hoogganaa ture.
But the Syrians seeing that they had fallen before Israel, sent messengers, and brought to them the Syrians that were beyond the river: and Sophach, general of the army of Adarezer, was their leader.
17 Daawitis yommuu wanni kun isatti himametti, Israaʼeloota hunda walitti qabee Yordaanos ceʼe; innis dursee dhaqee fuula isaanii duraan toora lolaa ni qabate. Daawitis warra Sooriyaa waraanuuf loltoota isaa hiriirse; namoonni Sooriyaas ni lolaniin.
And it was told David, and he gathered together all Israel, and passed the Jordan, and came upon them, and put his army in array against them, and they fought with him.
18 Isaan garuu Israaʼeloota duraa baqatan; Daawitis namoota gaarii waraanaa oofan kuma torbaa fi loltoota lafoo kuma afurtama fixe. Ajajaa loltoota isaanii Shoofaki illee ni ajjeese.
But the Syrian fled before Israel: and David slew of the Syrians seven thousand chariots, and forty thousand footmen, and Sophach the general of the army.
19 Tajaajiltoonni Hadaadezeriis yommuu akka Israaʼelootaan moʼataman arganitti Daawit wajjin nagaa uumanii isa jalatti bulan. Kanaafuu namoonni Sooriyaa ergasii Amoonota gargaaruu hin feene.
And when the servants of Adarezer saw themselves overcome by Israel, they went over to David, and served him: and Syria would not help the children of Ammon any more.
