1 Seenaa 19
1 Ergasiis Naahaash mootiin Amoonotaa ni duʼe; ilmi isaa iddoo isaa buʼee mootii taʼe.
And it cometh to pass after this, that Nahash king of the sons of Ammon dieth, and his son reigneth 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 saith, 'I do kindness with Hanun son of Nahash, for his father did with me kindness;' and David sendeth messengers to comfort him concerning his father. And the servants of David come in unto the land of the sons of Ammon, unto 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.
and the heads of the sons of Ammon say to Hanun, 'Is David honouring thy father, in thine eyes, because he hath sent to thee comforters? in order to search, and to overthrow, and to spy out, the land, have not his servants come in unto thee?'
4 Kanaafuu Haanuun namoota Daawit sana qaqqabee rifeensa irraa haadee wayyaa isaanii illee teessuma irratti cicciree of irraa isaan erge.
And Hanun taketh the servants of David, and shaveth them, and cutteth their long robes in the midst, unto the buttocks, and sendeth 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 [some] go, and declare to David concerning the men, and he sendeth to meet them — for the men have been greatly ashamed — and the king saith, 'Dwell in Jericho till that your beard is grown, then ye have returned.'
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 the sons of Ammon see that they have made themselves abhorred by David, and Hanun and the sons of Ammon send a thousand talents of silver, to hire to them, from Aram-Naharaim, and from Aram-Maachah, and from Zobah, chariots and horsemen;
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 hire to them two and thirty thousand chariots, and the king of Maachah and his people, and they come in and encamp before Medeba, and the sons of Ammon have been gathered out of their cities, and come in to the battle.
8 Daawit yommuu waan kana dhagaʼetti Yooʼaabii fi guutummaa loltootaa ni erge.
And David heareth, and sendeth 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 sons of Ammon come out and set battle in array at the opening of the city, and the kings who have come [are] 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.
And Joab seeth that the front of the battle hath been unto him, before and behind, and he chooseth out of all the choice in Israel, and setteth in array to meet Aram,
11 Namoota hafan immoo ajaja obboleessa isaa Abiishaayi jalatti ni hiriirse; isaanis Amoonotatti duulan.
and the remnant of the people he hath given into the hand of Abishai his brother, and they set in array to meet the sons of Ammon.
12 Yooʼaabis akkana jedhe; “Yoo warri Sooriyaa natti jabaatan ati na gargaarta; yoo Amoononni sitti jabaatan immoo ani sin gargaara.
And he saith, 'If Aram be stronger than I, then thou hast been to me for salvation; and if the sons of Ammon be stronger than thou, then I have saved thee;
13 Jabaadhaa saba keenyaa fi magaalaawwan Waaqa keenyaatiif garaa kutannaadhaan haa lollu. Waaqayyos waan fuula isaa duratti gaarii taʼe ni godha.”
be strong, and we strengthen ourselves, for our people, and for the cities of our God, and Jehovah doth that which is good in His eyes.'
14 Ergasii Yooʼaabii fi loltoonni isa wajjin turan warra Sooriyaa waraanuuf fuul duratti ni qajeelan; jarris fuula isaa duraa baqatan.
And Joab draweth nigh, and the people who [are] with him, before Aram to battle, and they flee from his face;
15 Amoononni yommuu akka namoonni Sooriyaa baqatan arganitti isaanis fuula obboleessa isaa Abiishaayi duraa baqatanii magaalaa seenan. Akkasiin Yooʼaab Yerusaalemitti deebiʼe.
and the sons of Ammon have seen that Aram hath fled, and they flee — they also — from the face of Abishai his brother, and go in to the city. And Joab cometh in 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 Aram seeth that they have been smitten before Israel, and send messengers, and bring out Aram that [is] beyond the River, and Shophach head of the host of Hadarezer [is] before them.
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 is declared to David, and he gathereth all Israel, and passeth over the Jordan, and cometh in unto them, and setteth in array against them; yea, David setteth in array the battle to meet Aram, and they fight 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 Aram fleeth from the face of Israel, and David slayeth of Aram seven thousand charioteers, and forty thousand footmen, and Shophach head of the host he hath put to death.
19 Tajaajiltoonni Hadaadezeriis yommuu akka Israaʼelootaan moʼataman arganitti Daawit wajjin nagaa uumanii isa jalatti bulan. Kanaafuu namoonni Sooriyaa ergasii Amoonota gargaaruu hin feene.
And the servants of Hadarezer see that they have been smitten before Israel, and they make peace with David and serve him, and Aram hath not been willing to help the sons of Ammon any more.
