1 Mootota 14
1 Yeroo sana Abiyaan ilmi Yerobiʼaam dhukkubsannaan
At that time, fell sick, Abijah son of Jeroboam.
2 Yerobiʼaam niitii ofii isaatiin akkana jedhe; “Ati niitii Yerobiʼaam taʼuun kee akka hin beekneef eenyummaa kee dhoksiitii kaʼii Shiiloo dhaqi. Ahiiyaan raajichi akka ani saba kana irratti mootii taʼu natti hime sun achi jiraatii.
Then said Jeroboam to his wife—Arise, I pray thee, and feign thyself another, that it be not known, that, thou, art the wife of Jeroboam, —and thou shalt go thy way to Shiloh, lo! there, is Ahijah the prophet, who promised I should be king over this people;
3 Buddeena kudhan, maxinoo muraasaa fi damma okkotee tokko harkatti qabadhuu gara isaa dhaqi. Inni waan gurbaan kun taʼu sitti hima.”
and thou shall take with thee ten loaves, and cracknels, and a bottle of honey, and shalt go unto him, —he, will tell thee what shall befall the young man.
4 Kanaafuu niitiin Yerobiʼaam waan inni jedheen sana gootee gara mana Ahiiyaa Shiiloo dhaqxe. Yeroo sana Ahiiyaan homaa hin argu ture; inni waan dulloomeef agartuun isaa dadhabee tureetii.
And the wife of Jeroboam, did so, and arose, and went to Shiloh, and entered the house of Ahijah, —now, Ahijah, could not see, for his eyes were fixed, by reason of his old age.
5 Waaqayyo garuu Ahiiyaadhaan akkana jedhe; “Niitiin Yerobiʼaam sababii ilmi ishee dhibameef waaʼee isaa si gaafachuuf dhufuutti jirti; ati akkanaa fi akkana jedhii deebisiif. Isheen yommuu dhuftu nama biraa of fakkeessitee dhufti.”
But, Yahweh, had said unto Ahijah—Lo! the wife of Jeroboam, coming to enquire something of thee, concerning her son, for he is sick, thus and so, shalt thou speak unto her, —though, when she cometh in, she feign to be a stranger-woman.
6 Ahiiyaan sagalee faana ishee dhageenyaan balbala irratti akkana jedheen; “Yaa niitii Yerobiʼaam ol seeni. Dubartii biraa of fakkeessuu yaaluun kee kun maaliif? Ani ergaa hamaa sitti himuuf ergameera.
So it came to pass, when Ahijah heard the sound of her feet, as she entered the doorway, that he said—Come in, thou wife of Jeroboam, —wherefore, is it that thou art feigning to be a stranger-woman, seeing that, I, am sent unto thee, with something hard to bear?
7 Dhaqiitii Waaqayyo Waaqni Israaʼel akkana jedha jedhiitii Yerobiʼaamitti himi: ‘Ani saba keessaa si kaafadheen bulchaa saba koo Israaʼel si godhe.
Go, say to Jeroboam—Thus, saith Yahweh, God of Israel, Forasmuch as I exalted thee out of the midst of the people, —and gave thee to be leader over my people Israel;
8 Ani mana Daawit irraa mootummaa tarsaaseen siif kenne; ati garuu akka garbicha koo Daawit kan ajajawwan koo eegee garaa isaa guutuun na duukaa buʼee waan fuula koo duratti qajeelaa taʼe qofa hojjete sanaa hin taane.
and rent the kingdom away from the house of David, and gave it to thee, —and yet thou hast not been like my servant David, who kept my commandments, and who followed me, with all his heart, to do only that which was right in mine eyes;
9 Ati warra siin dura jiraatan hunda caalaa waan hamaa hojjetteerta. Ati ofii keetiif waaqota biraa fakkiiwwan baqfamanii hojjetaman tolfattee dheekkamsaaf na kakaafte; dugda kee duubattis na gatte.
but hast made wicked thy doings beyond any who were before thee, —and hast gone and made thee ether gods, even molten images, to provoke me to anger, and hast cast, me, behind thy back,
10 “‘Sababii kanaaf ani amma mana Yerobiʼaam irratti badiisa nan fida. Ani mana Yerobiʼaamii dhiira hunda, garbicha yookaan birmaduu Israaʼel keessaa nan balleessa. Ani akkuma namni tokko kosii gubee barbadeessutti mana Yerobiʼaam gubeen barbadeessa.
therefore, behold me! bringing misfortune against the house of Jeroboam, and I will cut off the meanest pertaining to Jeroboam, whether shut up or left at large, in Israel, —and will consume after the house of Jeroboam, as one consumeth dung, till it be all gone:
11 Nama maatii Yerobiʼaam taʼe kam iyyuu kan magaalaa keessatti duʼe sareetu nyaata; kan baadiyyaatti duʼe kam iyyuu immoo allaattii samiitu nyaata. Waaqayyo waan kana dubbateeraatii!’
Him that dieth of Jeroboam in the city, shall, the dogs, eat, and, him that dieth in the field, shall, the birds of heaven, eat, —For, Yahweh, hath spoken.
12 “Ati garuu mana keetti gali. Yeroo miilli kee magaalaa seenutti mucaan sun ni duʼa.
Thou, therefore, arise, go to thine own house, —as thy feet are entering the city, the young man shall die.
13 Warri Israaʼel hundinuu booʼaniifii isa ni awwaalu. Waan Waaqayyo Waaqni Israaʼel mana Yerobiʼaam keessaa isa qofa irratti waan gaarii argeef, mana Yerobiʼaam keessaa namni awwaala argatu isa qofa taʼa.
Then shall all Israel lament for him, and bury him, for, this one, pertaining to Jeroboam, shall reach a burying-place, —because there hath been found in him something good toward Yahweh, God of Israel, in the house of Jeroboam.
14 “Waaqayyo Israaʼel irratti mootii tokko ofii isaatiif ni kaafata; mootiin sunis maatii Yerobiʼaam kutee balleessa. Guyyaan isaas harʼa! Kunis ammuma taʼa.
Therefore will Yahweh raise up for himself a king over Israel, who will cut off the house of Jeroboam, this day, but why, even now?
15 Waaqayyo Israaʼelin dhaʼee akkuma shambaqqoo bishaan keessaatti ni raasa. Sababii isaan utubaawwan Aasheeraa dhadhaabanii Waaqayyoon dheekkamsiisaniif inni biyya abbootii isaaniitiif kenne gaarii sana keessaa Israaʼelin buqqisee Laga Efraaxiisiin gamatti isaan ni bittinneessa.
Therefore will Yahweh smite Israel, as a reed shaketh in water, and will root out Israel, from off this goodly soil, which he gave unto their fathers, and will scatter them beyond the River (Euphrates), —because they have made their Sacred Stems, provoking Yahweh to anger:
16 Innis sababii cubbuu Yerobiʼaam hojjetee akka Israaʼelis hojjetu godhe sanaatiif saba Israaʼel ni gata.”
That he may deliver up Israel, —on account of the sin of Jeroboam, which he committed, and which he caused, Israel, to commit.
17 Niitiin Yerobiʼaam kaatee Tiirzaa dhaqxe. Akkuma isheen gulantaa balbalaa geesseen mucaan sun ni duʼe.
Then arose the wife of Jeroboam, and went her way and entered Tirzah, —as, she, was coming into the entrance hall, the young man died.
18 Jarris isa awwaalan; Israaʼel hundinuus akkuma Waaqayyo karaa garbicha isaa Ahiiyaa raajichaatiin dubbate sana ni booʼaniif.
And, when they buried him, all Israel lamented him, —according to the word of Yahweh, which he spake through his servant Ahijah the prophet.
19 Wanni Yerobiʼaam hojjete kan biraa, akki inni itti lolaa turee fi akki inni itti biyya bulchaa ture kitaaba seenaa mootota Israaʼel keessatti barreeffameera.
Now, the rest of the story of Jeroboam, how he warred, and how he reigned, behold them! written in the book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel.
20 Innis waggaa digdamii lama bulchee ergasii abbootii isaa wajjin boqote. Ilmi isaa Naadaab mootii taʼee iddoo isaa buʼe.
And, the days which Jeroboam reigned, were twenty-two years, —and he slept with his fathers, and, Nadab his son, reigned, in his stead.
21 Rehooboʼaam ilmi Solomoon biyya Yihuudaa keessatti mootii ture. Yeroo inni mootii taʼetti umuriin isaa waggaa afurtamii tokko ture; innis waggaa kudha torba Yerusaalem magaalaa Waaqayyo Maqaa ofii isaa achi kaaʼachuuf jedhee gosoota Israaʼel hunda keessaa filate sana keessatti mootii taʼee bulche. Maqaan haadha isaa Naʼamaa ture; isheenis gosa Amoon turte.
And, Rehoboam, son of Solomon, reigned in Judah, —forty-one years old, was Rehoboam when he began to reign, and seventeen years, reigned he in Jerusalem, the city which Yahweh had chosen to put his Name there, out of all the tribes of Israel, and, his mother’s name, was Naamah, the Ammonitess.
22 Yihuudaan fuula Waaqayyoo duratti hammina hojjete. Isaanis cubbuu hojjetaniin hamma abbootiin isaanii hojjetan sana caalaa dheekkamsa isaa kakaasan.
And Judah did the thing that was wicked in the eyes of Yahweh, —and provoked him to jealousy, above all that their fathers had done, with their sins which they committed.
23 Akkasumas iddoo ol kaʼaa hunda irrattii fi mukkeen babalʼaa hunda jalatti iddoowwan sagadaa kanneen gaarran irraa, soodduuwwan dhagaatii fi siidaawwan Aasheeraa ofii isaaniitiif tolfatan.
And, they also, built for themselves high places and pillars, and Sacred Stems, —upon every high hill, and under every green tree.
24 Manni sagadaa dhiirota sagaagalaniis biyya sana keessa ture; namoonni sun gochawwan jibbisiisoo kan saboota Waaqayyo fuula Israaʼelootaa duraa ariʼee baase sanaa hunda keessatti hirmaatan.
Moreover also, there were, male devotees, in the land, —they did according to all the abominable practices of the nations, which Yahweh dispossessed from before the sons of Israel.
25 Waggaa shanaffaa Rehooboʼaam mootii taʼetti Shiishaaq mootiin Gibxi Yerusaalemin waraane.
And it came to pass, in the fifth year of King Rehoboam, that Shishak king of Egypt, came up against Jerusalem;
26 Innis qabeenya mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyootii fi qabeenya masaraa mootummaa guurratee deeme. Gaachanawwan warqee kanneen Solomoon hojjete dabalatee waan hunda guurratee gale.
and took away the treasures of the house of Yahweh, and the treasures of the house of the king, yea, the whole, took he away, —and took away all the bucklers of gold, which, Solomon, had made.
27 Kanaafuu Rehooboʼaam mootichi iddoo isaanii buusuuf jedhee gaachana naasii hojjetee ajajjuuwwan eegdota dabaree eegumsa balbala masaraa mootummaatti kenne.
So King Rehoboam made, in their stead, bucklers of bronze, —and committed them unto the hand of the captains of the runners, who kept guard at the entrance of the house of the king.
28 Yeroo mootichi gara mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyoo dhaqu hunda eegdonni sun gaachana sana baatanii ergasii immoo kutaa eegdotaatti deebisu ture.
And so it was, whensoever the king went into the house of Yahweh, the runners bare them, and then brought them back into the chamber of the runners.
29 Wantoonni Rehooboʼaam bara mootummaa keessa taʼanii fi wanni inni hojjete hundinuu kitaaba seenaa mootota Yihuudaa keessatti barreeffamaniiru mitii?
Now, the rest of the story of Rehoboam, and all that he did, are, they, not written in the book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah?
30 Rehooboʼaamii fi Yerobiʼaam gidduu waraana gargari hin cinnetu ture.
And there was, war, between Rehoboam and Jeroboam, continually.
31 Rehooboʼaamis abbootii ofii wajjin boqotee Magaalaa Daawit keessatti isaan biratti awwaalame. Maqaan haadha isaa Naʼamaa ture; isheenis gosa Amoon turte. Ilmi isaa Abiyaan iddoo isaa buʼee mootii taʼe.
So then Rehoboam slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David, and, the name of his mother, was Naamah the Ammonitess, —and, Abijah his son, reigned, in his stead.
