1 Mootota 1

1 Daawit Mootichi yeroo jaaree dulloometti yoo uffata itti tuulan illee dhagni isaa hin hoʼuuf ture.

Now king David was old and stricken in years, and they covered him with clothes, but he did not get warm.

2 Kanaafuu tajaajiltoonni isaa akkana jedhaniin; “Durba qulqulluu mooticha tajaajiltuu fi kunuunsitu haa barbaannu. Isheenis gooftaa keenya mootichatti bira ciiftee isa haa hoʼiftu.”

Therefore his servants said to him, Let there be sought for my lord the king a young virgin. And let her stand before the king, and take care of him. And let her lie in thy bosom, that my lord the king may get warmth.

3 Isaanis biyya Israaʼel guutuu keessa durba miidhagduu barbaadanii intala Abiishagi jedhamtu kan gosa Suunam tokko argatanii mootichatti fidan.

So they sought for a fair damsel throughout all the borders of Israel, and found Abishag the Shunammite, and brought her to the king.

4 Intalattiin akka malee miidhagduu turte; isheenis mooticha kunuunsite; ni tajaajiltes; mootichi garuu ishee bira hin gaʼu ture.

And the damsel was very fair. And she took care of the king, and ministered to him, but the king knew her not.

5 Yeroo sanatti Adooniyaan ilmi Hagiit kan isheen Daawitiif deesse, “Ani mootii nan taʼa” jedhee ol ol of qabe. Kanaafuu inni gaariiwwanii fi fardeen akkasumas namoota fuula isaa dura fiigan shantama qopheeffate.

Then Adonijah the son of Haggith exalted himself, saying, I will be king. And he prepared chariots for him, and horsemen, and fifty men to run before him.

6 Abbaan isaa immoo, “Ati maaliif waan akkanaa goota?” jedhee gonkumaa isa ifatee hin beeku. Inni gurbaa akka malee miidhagaa kan Abesaaloomitti aanee dhalatee dha.

And his father had not displeased him at any time in saying, Why have thou done so? And he was also a very handsome man. And he was born after Absalom.

7 Adooniyaanis Yooʼaab ilma Zeruuyaatii fi Abiyaataar lubichaan mariʼate; isaanis isa deeggaran.

And he conferred with Joab the son of Zeruiah, and with Abiathar the priest. And, following Adonijah, they helped him.

8 Garuu Zaadoq lubichi, Benaayaa ilmi Yehooyaadaa, Naataan raajichi, Shimeʼiin, Reeʼii fi eegdonni Daawit filatamoon Adooniyaa wajjin hin turre.

But Zadok the priest, and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and Nathan the prophet, and Shimei, and Rei, and the mighty men who belonged to David, were not with Adonijah.

9 Adooniyaanis dhagaa Zoohelet isa naannoo Een Roogeelitti argamu biratti hoolaa, korma looniitii fi jabboota coccoomoo aarsaa dhiʼeesse. Innis obboloota isaa ilmaan mootichaa hunda, namoota Yihuudaa kanneen qondaaltota mootichaa taʼan hunda ni waame;

And Adonijah killed sheep and oxen and fatlings by the stone of Zoheleth, which is beside En-rogel. And he called all his brothers, the king's sons, and all the men of Judah, the king's servants.

10 garuu Naataan raajicha yookaan Benaayaa yookaan eegdota filatamoo yookaan obboleessa isaa Solomoonin hin waamne.

But he did not call Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah, and the mighty men, and Solomon his brother.

11 Ergasii Naataan akkana jedhee Batisheebaa haadha Solomoon gaafate; “Ati akka Adooniyaan ilmi Hagiitii, utuu gooftaan keenya Daawit quba hin qabaatin mootii taʼe hin dhageenyee?

Then Nathan spoke to Bathsheba the mother of Solomon, saying, Have thou not heard that Adonijah the son of Haggith reigns, and David our lord does not know it?

12 Mee amma kottu akka ati itti lubbuu keetii fi lubbuu ilma kee Solomoon oolchuu dandeessu si gorsaa.

Now therefore come, let me, I pray thee, give thee counsel, that thou may save thine own life, and the life of thy son Solomon.

13 Amma gara Daawit mootichaa dhaqiitii, ‘Yaa gooftaa koo mootii, ati, “Ilmi kee Solomoon anatti aanee dhugumaan mootii ni taʼa; teessoo koo irras ni taaʼa” jettee ana garbittii keetiif hin kakannee? Yoos Adooniyaan maaliif mootii taʼe?’ jedhiin.

Go and get thee in to king David, and say to him, Did thou not, my lord, O king, swear to thy handmaid, saying, Assuredly Solomon thy son shall reign after me, and he shall sit upon my throne? Why then does Adonijah reign?

14 Anis utuma ati achitti mooticha wajjin dubbachaa jirtuu dhufee waan ati jettu sana siif mirkaneessa.”

Behold, while thou yet talk there with the king, I also will come in after thee, and confirm thy words.

15 Kanaafuu Batisheebaan kaatee mootii dulloome sana arguuf gara kutaa Abiishagi intalli gosa Suunam sun itti isa kunuunsaa turteetti ol seente.

And Bathsheba went in to the king into the chamber. And the king was very old, and Abishag the Shunammite was ministering to the king.

16 Batisheebaan gad jettee fuula mootichaa duratti jilbeenfatte. Mootichis, “Ati maal barbaadda?” jedhee gaafate.

And Bathsheba bowed, and did obeisance to the king. And the king said, What do thou want?

17 Isheenis akkana jettee deebifteef; “Yaa gooftaa ko, ati mataan kee, ‘Ilmi kee Solomoon natti aanee mootii ni taʼa; teessoo koo irras ni taaʼa’ jettee maqaa Waaqayyo Waaqa keetiitiin ana garbittii keetiif kakattee turte.

And she said to him, My lord, thou swore by Jehovah thy God to thy handmaid, saying, Assuredly Solomon thy son shall reign after me, and he shall sit upon my throne.

18 Amma garuu Adooniyaan mootii taʼeera; ati gooftaan koo mootichis waan kana quba hin qabdu.

And now, behold, Adonijah reigns, and thou, my lord the king, do not know it.

19 Inni kunoo sangoota, jabboota coccoomoo fi hoolota baayʼee aarsaa dhiʼeessee ilmaan mootii hunda, Abiyaataar lubichaa fi Yooʼaab ajajaa loltootaa waameera; garuu garbicha kee Solomoonin hin waamne.

And he has slain oxen and fatlings and sheep in abundance, and has called all the sons of the king, and Abiathar the priest, and Joab the captain of the army, but he has not called Solomon thy servant.

20 Yaa gooftaa koo mooticha, si booddeedhaan eenyu teessoo gooftaa koo mootichaa irra akka taaʼu sirraa beekuudhaaf iji Israaʼel hundi sirra jira.

And thou, my lord the king, the eyes of all Israel are upon thee, that thou should tell them who shall sit on the throne of my lord the king after him.

21 Yoo kanaa achii yeroo gooftaan koo mootichi abbootii isaa wajjin boqotutti anii fi ilmi koo Solomoon akka nama balleessaa qabuutti ilaalamna.”

Otherwise it will come to pass, when my lord the king shall sleep with his fathers, that I and my son Solomon shall be considered offenders.

22 Utuma isheen amma illee mooticha wajjin dubbachaa jirtuu Naataan raajichi ni dhufe.

And, lo, while she yet talked with the king, Nathan the prophet came in.

23 Isaanis, “Naataan raajichi as jira” jedhanii mootichatti himan. Kanaafuu Naataan dhufee fuula mootichaa duratti gad jedhee harka fuudhe.

And they told the king, saying, Behold, Nathan the prophet. And when he came in before the king, he bowed himself before the king with his face to the ground.

24 Naataanis akkana jedhe; “Yaa gooftaa koo mootii, ati, ‘Adooniyaan natti aanee mootii taʼa; teessoo koo irras ni taaʼa’ jetteertaa?

And Nathan said, My lord, O king, have thou said, Adonijah shall reign after me, and he shall sit upon my throne?

25 Inni harʼa gad buʼee sangoota, jabboota coccoomoo fi hoolota baayʼee aarsaa dhiʼeesseera. Ilmaan mootichaa hunda, ajajjoota loltootaatii fi Abiyaataar lubicha waameera. Isaan amma iyyuu isa wajjin nyaachaa dhugaa, ‘Adooniyaan mootichi bara dheeraa haa jiraatu!’ jechaa jiru.

For he has gone down this day, and has slain oxen and fatlings and sheep in abundance, and has called all the king's sons, and the captains of the army, and Abiathar the priest. And, behold, they are eating and drinking before him, and say, Live, king Adonijah.

26 Garuu ana garbicha kee, Zaadoq lubicha, Benaayaa ilma Yehooyaadaatii fi garbicha kee Solomoonin hin waamne.

But me, even me thy servant, and Zadok the priest, and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and thy servant Solomon, he has not called.

27 Egaa kun waan gooftaan koo mootichi utuu isa booddeedhaan eenyu akka teessoo gooftaa koo mootichaa irra taaʼu garbicha isaa hin beeksisin hojjeteedhaa?”

Is this thing done by my lord the king, and thou have not shown to thy servants who should sit on the throne of my lord the king after him?

28 Daawit mootichi, “Mee Batisheebaa ol waamaa” jedhe. Kanaafuu isheen gara mootichaatti ol seentee fuula isaa dura dhaabatte.

Then king David answered and said, Call Bathsheba to me. And she came into the king's presence, and stood before the king.

29 Mootichis akkana jedhee kakateef; “Dhugaa Waaqayyo jiraataa isa rakkina hundumaa keessaa na baase sanaa,

And the king swore, and said, As Jehovah lives, who has redeemed my soul out of all adversity,

30 ani waan duraan maqaa Waaqayyo Waaqa Israaʼeliin siif kakadhe sana harʼa dhugumaan siif guuta. Ilmi kee Solomoon na booddeedhaan mootii taʼa; iddoo koos teessoo koo irra ni taaʼa.”

truly as I swore to thee by Jehovah, the God of Israel, saying, Assuredly Solomon thy son shall reign after me, and he shall sit upon my throne in my stead. Surely so I will do this day.

31 Batisheebaanis addaan gad jettee harka fuutee fuula mootichaa duratti jilbeenfattee, “Gooftaan ko, Daawit mootichi bara baraan haa jiraatu!” jette.

Then Bathsheba bowed with her face to the earth, and did obeisance to the king, and said, Let my lord king David live forever.

32 Daawit mootichis, “Mee Zaadoq lubicha, Naataan raajichaa fi Benaayaa ilma Yehooyaadaa as waamaa” jedhe. Yommuu isaan fuula mootichaa duratti dhiʼaatanitti,

And king David said, Call to me Zadok the priest, and Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada. And they came before the king.

33 inni akkana isaaniin jedhe: “Garboota gooftaa keessanii of faana fudhadhaatii ilma koo Solomoonin gaangoo koo irra teessisaatii Giihoonitti gad buusaa.

And the king said to them, Take with you the servants of your lord, and cause Solomon my son to ride upon my own mule, and bring him down to Gihon.

34 Achittis Zaadoq lubichii fi Naataan raajichi Israaʼeloota irratti mootii godhanii isa haa diban. Malakata afuufaatii, ‘Solomoon mootichi bara dheeraa haa jiraatu!’ jedhaa iyyaa.

And let Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet anoint him there king over Israel. And blow ye the trumpet, and say, Live, king Solomon.

35 Isinis ergasii isa wajjin ol baʼuu qabdu; innis dhufee teessoo koo irra taaʼee iddoo koo buʼee mootii taʼuu qaba. Ani akka inni bulchaa taʼuuf Israaʼelii fi Yihuudaa irratti isa muudeera.”

Then ye shall come up after him, and he shall come and sit upon my throne, for he shall be king in my stead. And I have appointed him to be prince over Israel and over Judah.

36 Benaayaa ilmi Yehooyaadaa akkana jedhee mootichaaf deebise; “Ameen! Waaqayyo Waaqni gooftaa koo mootichaa akkasuma haa jedhu.

And Benaiah the son of Jehoiada answered the king, and said, Truly. Jehovah, the God of my lord the king, say so too.

37 Waaqayyo akkuma gooftaa koo mooticha wajjin ture Solomoon wajjin haa taʼu; teessoo isaas teessoo gooftaa koo Daawit mootichaa caalaa haa jabeessu!”

As Jehovah has been with my lord the king, even so be he with Solomon, and make his throne greater than the throne of my lord king David.

38 Kanaafuu Zaadoq lubichi, Naataan raajichi, Benaayaa ilmi Yehooyaadaa, Kereetonnii fi Pheletonni gad buʼanii gaangoo Daawit mootichaa irra Solomoon teessisanii Giihoonitti geessan.

So Zadok the priest, and Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and the Cherethites and the Pelethites, went down, and caused Solomon to ride upon king David's mule, and brought him to Gihon.

39 Zaadoq lubichi dunkaana qulqulluu keessaa gaanfa zayitii fuudhee Solomooniin dibe. Isaanis malakata afuufanii namoonni hundi, “Solomoon mootichi bara dheeraa haa jiraatu!” jedhanii iyyan.

And Zadok the priest took the horn of oil out of the tent, and anointed Solomon. And they blew the trumpet, and all the people said, Live, king Solomon.

40 Namoonni hundi hamma sagalee sanaan lafti sochootutti faaggaa afuufaa gammachuu guddaadhaan isa faana ol baʼan.

And all the people came up after him, and the people piped with pipes, and rejoiced with great joy, so that the earth quivered with the sound of them.

41 Adooniyaa fi keessummoonni isa wajjin turan akkuma nyaata isaanii fixataniin waan kana dhagaʼan. Yooʼaabis sagalee malakataa dhageenyaan, “Iyyi magaalaa keessaa kun hundi maalii?” jedhee gaafate.

And Adonijah and all the guests who were with him heard it as they had made an end of eating. And when Joab heard the sound of the trumpet, he said, Why is this noise of the city being in an uproar?

42 Utuma inni dubbachuutti jiruu, Yonaataan ilmi Abiyaataar lubichaa ni dhufe. Adooniyaanis, “Ol seeni. Jabaan akka keetii kun oduu gaarii fiduu qabaa” jedhe.

While he yet spoke, behold, Jonathan the son of Abiathar the priest came. And Adonijah said, Come in, for thou are a worthy man, and bring good news.

43 Yonaataanis akkana jedhee deebise; “Akkas miti! Gooftaan keenya Daawit mootichi, Solomoonin mootii godheera.

And Jonathan answered and said to Adonijah, Truly our lord king David has made Solomon king.

44 Mootichis Zaadoq lubicha, Naataan raajicha, Benaayaa ilma Yehooyaadaa, Kereetotaa fi Pheletota isa wajjin erge; isaanis gaangoo mootichaa irra isa teessisan;

And the king has sent with him Zadok the priest, and Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and the Cherethites and the Pelethites. And they have caused him to ride upon the king's mule.

45 Zaadoq lubichii fi Naataan raajichi Giihoonitti mootii godhanii isa dibaniiru. Isaan gammachuudhaan achii ol baʼan; magaalattiinis iyya isaaniitiin sochoofamte; wacni isin dhageessan kunis kanaa dha.

And Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet have anointed him king in Gihon. And they have come up from there rejoicing, so that the city rang again. This is the noise that ye have heard.

46 Kana caalaa iyyuu Solomoon teessoo mootummaa irra taaʼeera.

And also Solomon sits on the throne of the kingdom.

47 Qondaaltonni mootiis, ‘Waaqni kee maqaa kee caalaa maqaa Solomoon beekamaa godhee teessoo isaa illee teessoo kee caalaa haa guddisu!’ jedhanii gooftaa keenya Daawit mooticha eebbisuuf dhufaniiru. Mootichis siree isaa irratti gad jedhee sagade;

And moreover the king's servants came to bless our lord king David, saying, Thy God make the name of Solomon better than thy name, and make his throne greater than thy throne. And the king bowed himself upon the bed.

48 innis, ‘Waaqayyo, Waaqni Israaʼel kan akka iji koo harʼa nama iddoo koo buʼee teessoo koo irra taaʼu argitu naa eeyyame sun haa eebbifamu’ jedhe.”

And also thus said the king, Blessed be Jehovah, the God of Israel, who has given one of my seed to sit on my throne this day, my eyes even seeing it.

49 Kana irrati keessummoonni Adooniyaa hundi rifatanii kaʼanii bibittinnaaʼan.

And all the guests of Adonijah were afraid, and rose up, and every man went his way.

50 Adooniyaan garuu Solomoonin sodaatee dhaqee gaanfa iddoo aarsaa qabate.

And Adonijah feared because of Solomon. And he arose, and went, and caught hold on the horns of the altar.

51 Solomoonittis akkana jedhamee himame; “Adooniyaan Solomoon mooticha sodaatee gaanfa iddoo aarsaa qabatee itti cicheera. Innis, ‘Solomoon mootichi akka goraadeedhaan garbicha isaa hin ajjeefne harʼa naaf haa kakatu’ jedhe.”

And it was told Solomon, saying, Behold, Adonijah fears king Solomon, for, lo, he has laid hold on the horns of the altar, saying, Let king Solomon swear to me first that he will not kill his servant with the sword.

52 Solomoonis, “Yoo inni amanamaa taʼuu isaa mirkaneesse rifeensa mataa isaa keessaa tokko iyyuu lafa hin buʼu; garuu yoo hamminni isa keessatti argame inni ni duʼa” jedhee deebise.

And Solomon said, If he shall show himself a worthy man, there shall not a hair of him fall to the earth, but if wickedness be found in him, he shall die.

53 Solomoon mootichis nama itti erge; isaanis iddoo aarsaa biraa gad isa fidan. Adooniyaanis dhufee fuula Solomoon mootichaa duratti gad jedhee harka fuudhe; Solomoonis, “Deemi, mana keetti gali” jedheen.

So king Solomon sent, and they brought him down from the altar. And he came and did obeisance to king Solomon. And Solomon said to him, Go to thy house.
