1 Mootota 1

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

Now when King Dauid was olde, and striken in yeeres, they couered him with clothes, but no heate came vnto him.

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

Wherefore his seruants saide vnto him, Let there be sought for my lord ye King a yong virgin, and let her stand before the king, and cherish him: and let her lie in thy bosome, that my lord the King may get heate.

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

So they sought for a faire young maide thoroughout all the coastes of Israel, and founde one Abishag a Shunamite, 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 maid was exceeding faire, and cherished the king, and ministred 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 Adoniiah the sonne of Haggith exalted himselfe, saying, I will be king. And he gate him charets and horsemen, and fiftie 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 would not displease him from his childehood, to say, Why hast thou done so? And hee was a very goodly man, and his mother bare him next after Absalom.

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

And he tooke counsel of Ioab the sonne of Zeruiah, and of Abiathar the Priest: and they helped forward Adoniiah.

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 sonne of Iehoiada, and Nathan the Prophet, and Shimei, and Rei, and the men of might, which were with Dauid, were not with Adoniiah.

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;

Then Adoniiah sacrificed sheepe and oxen, and fat cattel by the stone of Zoheleth, which is by En-rogel, and called all his brethren the kings sonnes, and al the men of Iudah ye Kings seruants,

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

But Nathan the Prophet, and Benaiah, and the mightie men, and Salomon his brother hee called not.

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?

Wherefore Nathan spake vnto Bath-sheba the mother of Salomon, saying, Hast thou not heard, that Adoniiah ye sonne of Haggith doeth reigne, and Dauid our lord knoweth it not?

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

Now therefore come, and I will now giue thee counsell, howe to saue thine owne life, and the life of thy sonne Salomon.

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 vnto King Dauid, and say vnto him, Didest not thou, my lorde, O King, sweare vnto thine handmaide, saying, Assuredly Salomon thy sonne shall reigne after me, and he shall sit vpon my throne? why is then Adoniiah King?

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

Behold, while thou yet talkest there with the King, I also will come in after thee, and confirme thy wordes.

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

So Bath-sheba went in vnto the King into the chamber, and the King was verie olde, and Abishag the Shunammite ministred vnto ye King.

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

And Bath-sheba bowed and made obeisance vnto the King. And the King saide, What is thy matter?

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 shee answered him, My lorde, thou swarest by the Lord thy God vnto thine handmaide, saying, Assuredly Salomon thy sonne shall reigne after me, and he shall sit vpon my throne.

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

And beholde, nowe is Adoniiah king, and now, my lord, O King, thou knowest it not.

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 hath offred many oxen, and fatte cattel, and sheepe, and hath called all the sonnes of the King, and Abiathar the Priest, and Ioab the captaine of the hoste: but Salomon thy seruant hath he not bidden.

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 lorde, O King, knowest that the eyes of all Israel are on thee, that thou shouldest tell them, who shoulde 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.”

For els when my lord the King shall sleepe with his fathers, I and my sonne Salomon shalbe reputed vile.

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

And lo, while she yet talked with the King, Nathan also 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 tolde the King, saying, Beholde, Nathan the Prophet. And when he was come in to the King, hee made obeisance before the King vpon 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 saide, My lorde, O King, hast thou said, Adoniiah shall reigne after mee, and he shall sit vpon 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 hee is gone downe this day, and hath slaine many oxen, and fat cattel, and sheepe, and hath called al the Kings sonnes, and the captaines of the hoste, and Abiathar the Priest: and behold, they eate and drinke before him, and say, God saue King Adoniiah.

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

But me thy seruant, and Zadok the Priest, and Benaiah the sonne of Iehoiada, and thy seruant Salomon hath he 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 hast not shewed it vnto thy seruant, who should sitte on the throne of my lorde the King after him?

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

Then King Dauid answered, and saide, Call me Bath-sheba. And shee came into ye Kings presence, and stoode before the King.

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

And the King sware, saying, As the Lord liueth, who hath redeemed my soule out of all aduersitie,

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.”

That as I sware vnto thee by the Lord God of Israel, saying, Assuredly Salomon thy sonne shall reigne after me, and hee shall sit vpon my throne in my place, so will I certainely doe this day.

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

Then Bath-sheba bowed her face to the earth, and did reuerence vnto the King, and said, God saue my lord King Dauid for euer.

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

And King Dauid saide, Call mee Zadok the Priest, and Nathan the Prophet, and Benaiah the sonne of Iehoiada. 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.

Then the King said vnto them, Take with you the seruants of your lorde, and cause Salomon my sonne to ride vpon mine owne mule, and carie him downe 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 ouer Israel, and blowe ye the trumpet, and say, God saue king Salomon.

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 come vp after him, that hee may come and sit vpon my throne: and hee shall bee King in my steade: for I haue appointed him to be prince ouer Israel and ouer Iudah.

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

Then Benaiah the sonne of Iehoiada answered the King, and said, So be it, and the Lord God of my lord the King ratifie it.

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

As the Lord hath bene with my lorde the King, so be he with Salomon, and exalt his throne aboue the throne of my lorde king Dauid.

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 sonne of Iehoiada, and the Cherethites and the Pelethites went downe and caused Salomon to ride vpon king Dauids 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 tooke an horne of oyle out of the Tabernacle, and anointed Salomon: and they blewe the trumpet, and all the people said, God saue king Salomon.

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

And all the people came vp after him, and the people piped with pipes, and reioyced with great ioye, so that the earth rang 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 Adoniiah and all the ghestes that were with him, heard it: (and they had made an ende of eating) and when Ioab heard the sound of the trumpet, he said, What meaneth this noise and vprore in the citie?

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

And as he yet spake, beholde, Ionathan the sonne of Abiathar the Priest came: and Adoniiah said, Come in: for thou art a worthie man, and bringest good tidings.

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

And Ionathan answered, and said to Adoniiah, Verely our lord King Dauid hath made Salomon 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 hath sent with him Zadok the Priest, and Nathan the Prophet, and Benaiah the sonne of Iehoiada, and the Cherethites, and the Pelethites, and they haue caused him to ride vpon the Kings 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 ye Prophet haue anointed him King in Gihon: and they are gone vp from thence with ioy, and the citie is moued: this is the noise that ye haue heard.

46 Kana caalaa iyyuu Solomoon teessoo mootummaa irra taaʼeera.

And Salomon also sitteth on the throne of the kingdome.

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 moreouer the Kings seruantes came to blesse our lord King Dauid, saying, God make the name of Salomon more famous then thy name, and exalt his throne aboue thy throne: therefore the King worshipped vpon 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 thus sayd the King also, Blessed bee the Lord God of Israel, who hath made one to sit on my throne this day, euen in my sight.

49 Kana irrati keessummoonni Adooniyaa hundi rifatanii kaʼanii bibittinnaaʼan.

Then all the ghestes that were with Adonijah, were afraide, and rose vp, and went euery man his way.

50 Adooniyaan garuu Solomoonin sodaatee dhaqee gaanfa iddoo aarsaa qabate.

And Adonijah fearing the presence of Salomon, arose and went, and tooke holde on the hornes 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 one tolde Salomon, saying, Beholde, Adonijah doeth feare King Salomon: for lo, he hath caught holde on the hornes of the altar, saying, Let King Salomon sweare vnto me this day, that he will not slay his seruant 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.

Then Salomon sayd, If he will shewe him selfe a worthy man, there shall not an heare of him fall to the earth, but if wickednes be found in him, he shall dye.

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.

Then King Salomon sent, and they brought him from the altar, and he came and did obeisance vnto King Salomon. And Salomon sayde vnto him, Go to thine house.
