1 Seenaa 19

1 Ergasiis Naahaash mootiin Amoonotaa ni duʼe; ilmi isaa iddoo isaa buʼee mootii taʼe.

And it came to pass after this, that Nahash the king of the children of Ammon died, and his son reigned in 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: 'l will show kindness unto Hanun the son of Nahash, because his father showed kindness to me.' So David sent messengers to comfort him concerning his father. And David's servants came into the land of the children of Ammon to Hanun, to comfort him.

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.

But the princes of the children of Ammon said to Hanun: 'Thinkest thou that David doth honour thy father, that he hath sent comforters unto thee? are not his servants come unto thee to search, and to overthrow, and to spy out the land?'

4 Kanaafuu Haanuun namoota Daawit sana qaqqabee rifeensa irraa haadee wayyaa isaanii illee teessuma irratti cicciree of irraa isaan erge.

So Hanun took David's servants, and shaved them, and cut off their garments in the middle, even to their hips, 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.

Then there went certain persons, and told David how the men were served. And he sent to meet them; for the men were greatly ashamed. And the king said: 'Tarry at Jericho until your beards be grown, and then 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 made themselves odious to David, Hanun and the children of Ammon sent a thousand talents of silver to hire them chariots and horsemen out of Aram-naharaim, and out of Aram-maacah, and out of Zobah.

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.

So they hired them thirty and two thousand chariots, and the king of Maacah and his people; who came and encamped before Medeba. And the children of Ammon gathered themselves together from 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 host of the mighty 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 the battle in array at the gate of the city; and the kings that were come were by themselves 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.

Now when Joab saw that the battle was set against him before and behind, he chose of all the choice men of Israel, and put them in array against the Arameans.

11 Namoota hafan immoo ajaja obboleessa isaa Abiishaayi jalatti ni hiriirse; isaanis Amoonotatti duulan.

And the rest of the people he committed into the hand of Abishai his brother, and they put themselves in array 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 Arameans be too strong for me, then thou shalt help me; but if the children of Ammon be too strong for thee, then 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 prove strong for our people, and for the cities of our God; and the LORD do that which seemeth Him good.'

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 drew nigh unto the battle to meet the Arameans; and they fled before him.

15 Amoononni yommuu akka namoonni Sooriyaa baqatan arganitti isaanis fuula obboleessa isaa Abiishaayi duraa baqatanii magaalaa seenan. Akkasiin Yooʼaab Yerusaalemitti deebiʼe.

And when the children of Ammon saw that the Arameans were fled, they likewise fled before Abishai his brother, and entered into the city. Then Joab came 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.

And when the Arameans saw that they were put to the worse before Israel, they sent messengers, and brought out the Arameans that were beyond the River, with Shophach the captain of the host of Hadarezer at their head.

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 all Israel together, and passed over the Jordan, and came upon them, and set the battle in array against them. So when David had put the battle in array against the Arameans, 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.

And the Arameans fled before Israel; and David slew of the Arameans the men of seven thousand chariots, and forty thousand footmen, and killed Shophach the captain of the host.

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 Hadarezer saw that they were put to the worse before Israel, they made peace with David, and served him; neither would the Arameans help the children of Ammon any more.
