1 Mootota 12
1 Rehooboʼaamis sababii Israaʼeloonni hundinuu mootii isa gochuudhaaf achi yaaʼaniif kaʼee Sheekem dhaqe.
And Roboam went to Sichem: for thither were all Israel come together to make him king.
2 Yerobiʼaam ilmi Nebaat yommuu oduu kana dhagaʼetti deebiʼee dhufe; inni yeroo sanatti Solomoon Mooticha jalaa baqatee Gibxi jiraachaa tureetii.
But Jeroboam the son of Nabat, who was yet in Egypt, a fugitive from the face of king Solomon, hearing of his death, returned out of Egypt.
3 Kanaafuu Yerobiʼaamitti nama erganii waamanii, innii fi waldaan Israaʼel guutuun gara Rehooboʼaam dhaqanii akkana jedhaniin:
And they sent and called him: and Jeroboam came, and all the multitude of Israel, and they spoke to Roboam, saying:
4 “Abbaan kee waanjoo ulfaatu nurra kaaʼee ture; ati immoo amma hojii inni humnaan nu hojjechiise sanaa fi waanjoo ulfaataa inni nurra kaaʼe sana nuuf salphisi; nus si tajaajillaa.”
Thy father laid a grievous yoke upon us: now therefore do thou take off a little of the grievous service of thy father, and of his most heavy yoke, which he put upon us, and we will serve thee.
5 Rehooboʼaam immoo deebisee, “Bultii sadiif deemaatii ergasii deebiʼaa gara koo kottaa” jedheen. Kanaafuu namoonni sun baʼanii deeman.
And he said to them: Go till the third day, and come to me again. And when the people was gone,
6 Ergasiis Rehooboʼaam Mootichi maanguddoota bara jireenya isaa keessa abbaa isaa Solomoonin tajaajilaniin mariʼate. Innis, “Isin akka ani namoota kanaaf maal deebisu na gorsitu?” jedhee gaafate.
King Roboam took counsel with the old men, that stood before Solomon his father while he yet lived, and he said: What counsel do you give me, that I may answer this people?
7 Isaanis, “Yoo ati harʼa tajaajilaa saba kanaaf taatee isaan tajaajiltee deebii gaarii kenniteef, isaan yeroo hunda tajaajiltoota kee ni taʼu” jedhanii deebisaniif.
They said to him: If thou wilt yield to this people today, and condescend to them, and grant their petition, and wilt speak gentle words to them, they will be thy servants always.
8 Rehooboʼaam garuu gorsa maanguddoonni kennaniif didee dargaggoota isa wajjin guddatan kanneen isa tajaajilan wajjin mariʼate.
But he left the counsel of the old men, which they had given him, and consulted with the young men, that had been brought up with him, and stood before him.
9 Innis, “Gorsi keessan maal? Namoota, ‘Waanjoo abbaan kee nurra kaaʼe kana nuuf salphisi’ naan jedhan kanaaf akkamitti haa deebisnu?” jedhee isaan gaafate.
And he said to them: What counsel do you give me, that I may answer this people, who have said to me: Make the yoke which thy father put upon us lighter?
10 Dargaggoonni isa wajjin guddatan sunis akkana jedhanii deebisaniif; “Namoonni kunneen, ‘Abbaan kee waanjoo ulfaataa nurra kaaʼe; ati garuu waanjoo keenya nuu salphisi’ siin jedhan; ati amma akkana jedhiin; ‘Qubni koo xinnaan mudhii abbaa kootii irra furdaa dha.
And the young men that had been brought up with him, said: Thus shalt thou speak to this people, who have spoken to thee, saying: Thy father made our yoke heavy, do thou ease us. Thou shalt say to them: My little finger is thicker than the back of my father.
11 Abbaan koo waanjoo ulfaataa isin irra kaaʼe; ani immoo hammas caalaa iyyuu isinittan ulfaachisa. Abbaan koo qacceedhaan isin garafe; ani immoo torbaanqabaadhaanan isin garafa.’”
And now my father put a, heavy yoke upon you, but I will add to your yoke: my father beat you with whips, but I will beat you with scorpions.
12 Bultii sadii booddee Yerobiʼaamii fi namoonni hundi akkuma mootichi, “Guyyaa sadii keessatti deebiʼaa gara koo kottaa” jedhe sana gara Rehooboʼaamitti deebiʼan.
So Jeroboam and all the people came to Roboam the third day, as the king had appointed, saying: Come to me again the third day.
13 Mootichi immoo afaan hamaadhaan namoota sanaaf deebii kenne. Gorsa maanguddoonni kennaniif sana didee
And the king answered the people roughly, leaving the counsel of the old men, which they had given him,
14 gorsa dargaggootaa fudhatee, “Abbaan koo waanjoo keessan isinitti ulfaachise; ani immoo hammas iyyuu caalaa isinittan ulfaachisa. Abbaan koo qacceedhaan isin garafe; ani immoo torbaanqabaadhaanan isin garafa” jedhe.
And he spoke to them according to the counsel of the young men, saying: My father made your yoke heavy, but I will add to your yoke: my father beat you with whips, but I will beat you with scorpions.
15 Kanaafuu mootichi namoota sana hin dhaggeeffanne; wanni kun akka dubbiin Waaqayyo karaa Ahiiyaa namicha biyya Shiiloo sanaatiin Yerobiʼaam ilma Nebaatitti dubbate sun raawwatamuuf Waaqayyo biraa dhufeetii.
And the king condescended not to the people: for the Lord was turned away from him, to make good his word, which he had spoken in the hand of Ahias the Silonite, to Jeroboam the son of Nabat.
16 Israaʼel hundi yommuu akka mootichi isaan dhaggeeffachuu dide arganitti akkana jedhanii mootichaaf deebii kennan: “Nu Daawit irraa qooda maalii qabna? Ilma Isseey irraas maal qabna? Yaa Israaʼel gara dunkaana keetii! Yaa Daawit mana kee eeggadhu!” Kanaafuu Israaʼeloonni gara mana ofii isaaniitti deebiʼan.
Then the people seeing that the king would not hearken to them, answered him, saying: What portion have we in David? or what inheritance in the son of Isai? Go home to thy dwellings, O Israel, now David look to thy own house. So Israel departed to their dwellings.
17 Israaʼeloota magaalaawwan Yihuudaa keessa jiraatan garuu Rehooboʼaamtu bulchaa ture.
But as for all the children of Israel that dwelt in the cities of Juda, Roboam reigned over them.
18 Rehooboʼaam Mootichis, Adooraam itti gaafatamaa hojjettoota hojii humnaa ni erge; Israaʼel hundi immoo dhagaadhaan tumanii isa ajjeese. Rehooboʼaam Mootichi garuu ariitiidhaan gaarii ofii isaa yaabbatee jalaa miliqee Yerusaalemitti baqate.
Then king Roboam sent Aduram, who was over the tribute: and all Israel stoned him, and he died. Wherefore king Roboam made haste to get him up into his chariot, and he fled to Jerusalem:
19 Kanaafuu Israaʼeloonni hamma harʼaatti mana Daawititti fincilaniiru.
And Israel revolted from the house of David, unto this day.
20 Israaʼeloonni hundinuu akka Yerobiʼaam deebiʼe dhageenyaan nama itti erganii gara waldaatti isa waamanii Israaʼel hunda irratti mootii isa godhan. Gosa Yihuudaa qofatu mana Daawitiif amanamaa taʼee hafe.
And it came to pass when all Israel heard that Jeroboam was come again, that they gathered an assembly, and sent and called him, and made him king over all Israel, and there was none that followed the house of David but the tribe of Juda only.
21 Rehooboʼaam yommuu Yerusaalem gaʼetti akka isaan Israaʼelitti duulanii Rehooboʼaam ilma Solomooniif mootummaa deebisaniif jedhee mana Yihuudaa hundaa fi gosa Beniyaam keessaa namoota loluu dandaʼan kuma dhibba tokkoo fi saddeettama walitti qabe.
And Roboam came to Jerusalem, and gathered together all the house of Juda, and the tribe of Benjamin, a hundred four-score thousand chosen men for war, to fight against the house of Israel and to bring the kingdom again under Roboam the son of Solomon.
22 Garuu dubbiin Waaqaa kun akkana jedhee gara nama Waaqaa, gara Shemaaʼiyaa ni dhufe;
But the word of the Lord came to Semeias the man of God, saying:
23 “Rehooboʼaam ilma Solomoon mooticha Yihuudaatiin, Yihuudaa fi Beniyaam hundaan, saba hafeenis akkana jedhi;
Speak to Roboam the son of Solomon, the king of Juda, and to all the house of Juda, and Benjamin, and the rest of the people, saying:
24 ‘Waaqayyo akkana jedha; obboloota keessan Israaʼeloota loluudhaaf jettanii ol hin baʼinaa. Sababii wanni kun ana biraa dhufeef tokkoon tokkoon keessan gara mana keessaniitti galaa.’” Kanaafuu isaan dubbii Waaqayyoo dhagaʼanii akkuma Waaqayyo ajaje sanatti mana ofii isaaniitti dachaʼan.
Thus saith the Lord: You shall not go up nor fight against your brethren the children of Israel: let every man return to his house, for this thing is from me. They hearkened to the word of the Lord, and returned from their journey, as the Lord had commanded them.
25 Yerobiʼaamis ergasii biyya gaaraa Efreem keessatti Sheekemin jabeessee ijaaree achi jiraate. Achiis baʼee Phenuuʼeelin ijaare.
And Jeroboam built Sichem in mount Ephraim, and dwelt there, and going out from thence he built Phanuel.
26 Yerobiʼaam akkana jedhee garaa isaatti yaade; “Amma mootummaan mana Daawitiif ni deebiʼa.
And Jeroboam said in his heart: Now shall the kingdom return to the house of David,
27 Namoonni kunneen yoo mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyoo kan Yerusaalem jiru sanatti aarsaa dhiʼeessuuf ol baʼan amma illee gara gooftaa isaanii Rehooboʼaam mooticha Yihuudaatti garagalu. Isaan na ajjeesanii gara Rehooboʼaam Mootichaatti deebiʼu.”
If this people go up to offer sacrifices in the house of the Lord at Jerusalem: and the heart of this people will turn to their lord Roboam the king of Juda, and they will kill me, and return to him.
28 Kanaafuu mootichi mariʼatee jabbiiwwan lama warqee irraa tolche. Namoota sanaanis, “Yerusaalemitti ol baʼuun akka malee isinitti ulfaata. Yaa Israaʼel waaqonni keessan kanneen Gibxii baasanii isin fidan kunoo ti” jedhe.
And finding out a device he made two golden calves, and said to them: Go ye up no more to Jerusalem: Behold thy gods, O Israel, who brought thee out of the land of Egypt.
29 Innis jabbii tokko Beetʼeel keessa, kaan immoo Daan keessa dhaabe.
And he set the one in Bethel, and the other in Dan:
30 Wanni kunis cubbuu itti taʼe; namoonnis jabbii achi jiru sana waaqeffachuuf hamma Daanitti deeman.
And this thing became an occasion of sin: for the people went to adore the calf as far as Dan.
31 Yerobiʼaamis gaara irratti iddoo sagadaa ijaaree saboota Lewwota hin taʼin keessaa luboota muude.
And he made temples in the high places, and priests of the lowest of the people, who were not of the sons of Levi.
32 Innis bultii kudha shanaffaa jiʼa saddeettaffaa keessa ayyaana akkuma ayyaana Yihuudaa keessatti ayyaaneffame sanaa tokko hundeessee iddoo aarsaa irratti qalma dhiʼeesse. Kanas fakkiiwwan jabbii kanneen tolchee ture sanaatiif aarsaa dhiʼeessuudhaan Beetʼeelitti hojjete. Akkasumas Beetʼeelitti iddoo sagadaa kan gaara irratti ijaaree ture sanatti luboota ramade.
And he appointed a feast in the eighth month, on the fifteenth day of the month, after the manner of the feast that was celebrated in Juda. And going up to the altar, he did in like manner in Bethel, to sacrifice to the calves, which he had made: and he placed in Bethel priests of the high places, which he had made.
33 Innis bultii kudha shanaffaa jiʼa saddeettaffaatti jiʼuma ofii filate keessa gara iddoo aarsaa kan Beetʼeelitti ijaare sanaatti ol baʼe. Saba Israaʼeliifis guyyaa ayyaanaa hundeessee ixaana aarsuuf gara iddoo aarsaatti ol baʼe.
And he went up to the altar, which he had built in Bethel, on the fifteenth day of the eighth month, which he had devised of his own heart: and he ordained a feast to the children of Israel, and went upon the altar to burn incense.
