1 Mootota 2
1 Daawit Yeroon duʼa isaa dhiʼaannaan ilma isaa Solomoonin ajaje.
And the days of David to die draw near, and he charges his son Solomon, saying,
2 Innis akkana jedhe; “Ani karaa lafa hundumaa deemuufan jira. Kanaafuu ati jabaadhu; namas taʼi;
“I am going in the way of all the earth, and you have been strong, and become a man,
3 waan Waaqayyo Waaqni kee barbaadu eegi; akka waan hojjettu hundaa fi lafa deemtu hundatti milkooftuuf akkuma seera Musee keessatti barreeffametti karaa isaa irra deemi; sirnaa fi ajaja isaa, seeraa fi dambii isaa eegi;
and you have kept the charge of your God YHWH, to walk in His ways, to keep His statutes, His commands, and His judgments, and His testimonies, as it is written in the Law of Moses, so that you do wisely [in] all that you do, and wherever you turn,
4 yoo ati akkas goote, Waaqayyo waan, ‘Yoo ilmaan kee karaa isaanii eeggatan, yoo isaan garaa isaanii guutuu fi lubbuu isaanii guutuudhaan amanamummaadhaan fuula koo dura jiraatan, ati teessoo Israaʼel irraa nama hin dhabdu’ jedhee na abdachiise sana fiixaan naa baasa.
so that YHWH establishes His word which He spoke to me, saying, If your sons observe their way to walk before Me in truth, with all their heart, and with all their soul; saying, A man of yours is never cut off from the throne of Israel.
5 “Ati mataan kee iyyuu waan Yooʼaab ilmi Zeruuyaa natti hojjete, waan inni ajajjoota loltoota Israaʼel lamaan jechuunis Abneer ilma Neerii fi Amaasaa ilma Yeteer godhe ni beekta. Inni bara nagaa keessa akka waan waraana keessatti taʼeetti isaan ajjeesee dhiiga isaanii dhangalaase; dhiiga sanas sabbata mudhii isaatii fi kophee faana isaatti faale.
And also, you have known that which he did to me—Joab son of Zeruiah—that which he did to two heads of the hosts of Israel, to Abner son of Ner, and to Amasa son of Jether—that he slays them, and makes the blood of war in peace, and puts the blood of war in his girdle, that [is] on his loins, and in his sandals that [are] on his feet;
6 Ogummaa keetiin isa adabi malee akka inni arrii isaatiin nagaan awwaalamu hin godhin. (Sheol h7585)
and you have done according to your wisdom, and do not let his old age go down in peace to Sheol. (Sheol h7585)
7 “Garuu sababii isaan yeroo ani obboleessa kee Abesaaloom duraa baqadhetti na gargaaraniif ilmaan Barzilaayii namicha gosa Giliʼaad sanaatiif arjoomi; isaanis warra maaddii kee irraa nyaatan gidduu haa jiraatan.
And you do kindness to the sons of Barzillai the Gileadite, and they have been among those eating at your table, for so they drew near to me in my fleeing from the face of your brother Absalom.
8 “Shimeʼiin ilmi Geeraa namichi gosa Beniyaam kan biyya Bahuuriim inni gaafa ani Mahanayiim dhaqetti akka malee na abaare sun kunoo si wajjin jira. Ani garuu yeroo inni na simachuuf Yordaanos dhufetti, ‘Ani goraadeedhaan si hin ajjeesu’ jedhee maqaa Waaqayyootiin nan kakadheef.
And behold, Shimei son of Gera, the Benjamite of Bahurim, [is] with you, and he reviled me—a grievous reviling—in the day of my going to Mahanaim; and he has come down to meet me at the Jordan, and I swear to him by YHWH, saying, I do not put you to death by the sword;
9 Ati garuu sababii nama ogeessa taateef amma akka waan inni balleessaa hin qabaatiniitti isa hin ilaalin. Atuu waan isa gootu ni beekta. Ati mataa isaa kan arraaʼe sana dhiigaan awwaala keessa buusi.” (Sheol h7585)
and now, do not acquit him, for you [are] a wise man, and you have known that which you do to him, and have brought down his old age with blood to Sheol.” (Sheol h7585)
10 Daawitis ergasii abbootii isaa wajjin boqotee Magaalaa Daawit keessatti awwaalame.
And David lies down with his fathers, and is buried in the City of David,
11 Innis waggaa afurtama Israaʼel irratti jechuunis waggaa torba Kebroonitti, waggaa soddomii sadii immoo Yerusaalemitti mootii taʼe.
and the days that David has reigned over Israel [are] forty years; he has reigned seven years in Hebron, and he has reigned thirty-three years in Jerusalem.
12 Kanaafuu Solomoon teessoo abbaa isaa Daawit irra ni taaʼe; mootummaan isaas jabaatee dhaabate.
And Solomon has sat on the throne of his father David, and his kingdom is established greatly,
13 Yeroo kanatti Adooniyaan ilmi Hagiit gara Batisheebaa gara haadha Solomoon dhaqe. Batisheebaanis, “Ati nagumaaf dhuftee?” jettee isa gaafatte. Innis, “Eeyyee ani nagumaafan dhufe” jedhee deebiseef;
and Adonijah son of Haggith comes to Bathsheba, mother of Solomon, and she says, “Is your coming peace?” And he says, “Peace.”
14 itti dabalees, “Ani waanan siin jechuu fedhu tokkon qaba” jedheen. Isheenis, “Mee jedhi” jettee deebifteef.
And he says, “I have a word for you,” and she says, “Speak.”
15 Innis akkana jedheen; “Akkuma ati beektu mootummaan kan koo ture. Warri Israaʼel hundinuus akka ani mootii isaanii taʼu na abdatan. Garuu wanni sun geeddaramee mootummaan gara obboleessa kootiitti deebiʼeera; wanni kun Waaqayyo biraa isaaf dhufeeraatii.
And he says, “You have known that the kingdom was mine, and all Israel had set their faces toward me for reigning, and the kingdom is turned around, and is my brother’s, for it was his from YHWH;
16 Ani amma waanan si kadhadhu tokkon qaba; maaloo na hin didin.” Isheenis, “Kadhadhu” jetteen.
and now, I am asking one petition of you—do not turn back my face”; and she says to him, “Speak.”
17 Innis itti fufee, “Akka inni Abiishagi intala gosa Suunam sana akka niitiitti naaf kennuuf maaloo Solomoon mooticha naa kadhadhu; inni si hin diduutii” jedheen.
And he says, “Please speak to Solomon the king, for he does not turn back your face, and he gives Abishag the Shunammite to me for a wife.”
18 Batisheebaanis, “Kun waan gaarii dha! Ani dhaqeen mootichatti siif dubbadha” jettee deebifteef.
And Bathsheba says, “Good; I speak to the king for you.”
19 Kanaafuu Batisheebaan Adooniyaaf jettee isatti dubbachuuf gara Solomoon Mootichaa dhaqxe; Mootichis ishee simachuuf ol kaʼee harka ishee fuudhee teessoo isaa irra taaʼe. Inni teessoo haadha mootiitiif fidame tokko of biraa qaba ture; isheenis gama mirga isaatiin teesse.
And Bathsheba comes to King Solomon to speak to him for Adonijah, and the king rises to meet her, and bows himself to her, and sits on his throne, and places a throne for the mother of the king, and she sits at his right hand.
20 Isheenis, “Ani waanan si kadhadhu xinnoo tokko qaba; maaloo na hin didin” jetteen. Mootichis, “Yaa haadha koo kadhadhu; ani si hin diduutii” jedhee deebiseef.
And she says, “I ask one small petition of you, do not turn back my face”; and the king says to her, “Ask, my mother, for I do not turn back your face.”
21 Isheenis, “Obboleessi kee Adooniyaan intala gosa Suunam kan Abiishagi jedhamtu sana haa fuudhu” jetteen.
And she says, “Let Abishag the Shunammite be given to your brother Adonijah for a wife.”
22 Solomoon mootichis akkana jedhee haadha isaatiif deebii kenne; “Ati maaliif Abiishagi intala gosa Suunam kana Adooniyaaf kadhatta? Ati mootummaa illee akkasuma isaaf kadhadhu; inni obboleessa koo hangafaatii; Abiyaataar lubichaa fi Yooʼaab ilma Zeruuyaatiif illee gaafadhu!”
And King Solomon answers and says to his mother, “And why are you asking [for] Abishag the Shunammite for Adonijah? Also ask [for] the kingdom for him—for he [is] my elder brother—even for him, and for Abiathar the priest, and for Joab son of Zeruiah.”
23 Solomoon mootichis akkana jedhee maqaa Waaqayyootiin kakate; “Yoo Adooniyaan gatii kadhaa kanaa lubbuu ofii isaatiin baasuu baate, Waaqni natti haa muru; waan caalu iyyuu natti haa fidu!
And King Solomon swears by YHWH, saying, “Thus God does to me, and thus He adds—surely Adonijah has spoken this word against his [own] soul;
24 Kanaafuu dhugaa Waaqayyo jiraataa isa jabeessee na dhaabee teessoo abbaa koo teessoo Daawit irra na kaaʼee fi isa akkuma waadaa gale sanatti mootummaa naaf hundeesse sanaa Adooniyaan dhugumaan harʼa ni ajjeefama!”
and now, YHWH lives, who has established me, and causes me to sit on the throne of my father David, and who has made a house for me as He spoke—surely Adonijah is put to death today.”
25 Solomoon mootichi Benaayaa ilma Yehooyaadaa ajaje; innis dhaqee Adooniyaa dhaʼee ajjeese.
And King Solomon sends by the hand of Benaiah son of Jehoiada, and he falls on him, and he dies.
26 Mootichis Abiyaataar lubichaan akkana jedhe; “Ati gara lafa qotiisaa kee kan Anaatoot jirtu sanaa deemi. Ati silaa duʼuu qabda turte; ani garuu sababii ati fuula abbaa koo Daawit duratti taabota Waaqayyo Gooftaa baattee rakkina abbaa kootii hunda illee qooddatteef amma si hin ajjeesu.”
And the king said to Abiathar the priest, “Go to Anathoth, to your fields; for you [are] a man of death, but I do not put you to death in this day, because you have carried the Ark of Lord YHWH before my father David, and because you were afflicted in all that my father was afflicted in.”
27 Kanaafuu Solomoon dubbii Waaqayyo Shiilootti waaʼee mana Eelii dubbate sana guutuudhaan Abiyaataarin lubummaa mana Waaqayyoo irraa buuse.
And Solomon casts out Abiathar from being priest of YHWH, to fulfill the word of YHWH which He spoke concerning the house of Eli in Shiloh.
28 Yommuu oduun kun Yooʼaab namicha Abesaaloomiif tumsuu dhiisee Adooniyaaf tumse sana bira gaʼetti, inni gara dunkaana Waaqayyootti baqatee gaanfa iddoo aarsaa sana qabate.
And the report has come to Joab—for Joab has turned aside after Adonijah, though he did not turn aside after Absalom—and Joab flees to the tent of YHWH, and lays hold on the horns of the altar.
29 Akka Yooʼaab gara dunkaana Waaqayyootti baqatee iddoo aarsaa bira jiru Solomoon Mootichatti ni himame. Solomoonis, “Dhaqiitii isa ajjeesi!” jedhee Benaayaa ilma Yehooyaadaa sana ajaje.
And it is declared to King Solomon that Joab has fled to the tent of YHWH, and behold, [is] near the altar; and Solomon sends Benaiah son of Jehoiada, saying, “Go, fall on him.”
30 Kanaafuu Benaayaa dunkaana Waaqayyoo ol seenee Yooʼaabiin, “Mootichi, ‘Kottu baʼi!’ siin jedha” jedhe. Inni garuu, “Ani asumattin duʼa malee hin baʼu” jedhee deebise. Benaayaa immoo, “Yoʼaab akkana jedhee naaf deebise” jedhee mootichatti hime.
And Benaiah comes into the tent of YHWH and says to him, “Thus said the king: Come out”; and he says, “No, but I die here.” And Benaiah brings back word [to] the king, saying, “Thus spoke Joab, indeed, thus he answered me.”
31 Mootichi akkana jedhee Benaayaa ajaje; “Akkuma inni jedhe sana godhi; ajjeesiitii isa awwaali; kanaanis yakka dhiiga nama qulqulluu kan Yooʼaab dhangalaase sanaa irraa anaa fi mana abbaa koo qulqulleessi.
And the king says to him, “Do as he has spoken, and fall on him, and you have buried him, and turned aside the causeless blood which Joab shed from off me, and from off the house of my father;
32 Sababii inni utuu abbaan koo Daawit hin beekin namoota lama goraadeen ajjeeseef Waaqayyo gatii dhiiga inni dhangalaase sanaa isa baasisa. Namoonni inni ajjeese sun lamaan jechuunis Abneer ilmi Neer ajajaan loltoota Israaʼelii fi Amaasaan ilmi Yeteer ajajaan loltoota Yihuudaa namoota isa caalaa jajjaboo fi qajeeltota turan.
and YHWH has turned back his blood on his own head, [on him] who has fallen on two men more righteous and better than he, and slays them with the sword—and my father David did not know—Abner son of Ner, head of the host of Israel, and Amasa son of Jether, head of the host of Judah;
33 Yakki dhiiga isaanii mataa Yooʼaabii fi sanyii isaa irra bara baraan haa jiraatu. Garuu Daawitii fi sanyii isaa irra, mana isaatii fi teessoo isaa irra nagaan Waaqayyoo bara baraan haa jiraatu.”
indeed, their blood has turned back on the head of Joab, and on the head of his seed for all time; and for David, and for his seed, and for his house, and for his throne, there is peace for all time, from YHWH.”
34 Kanaafuu Benaayaa ilmi Yehooyaadaa achi dhaqee Yooʼaabin ajjeese; innis biyya ofii isaatti gammoojjii keessatti awwaalame.
And Benaiah son of Jehoiada goes up and falls on him, and puts him to death, and he is buried in his own house in the wilderness,
35 Mootichis Benaayaa ilma Yehooyaadaa sana ajajaa loltootaa godhee iddoo Yooʼaab buuse; Zaadoq lubicha immoo iddoo Abiyaataar buuse.
and the king puts Benaiah son of Jehoiada over the host in his stead, and the king has put Zadok the priest in the stead of Abiathar.
36 Ergasiis mootichi gara Shimeʼiitti nama ergee akkana jedheen; “Ati Yerusaalem keessatti mana ijaarradhuutii achuma jiraadhu; achii baatee gara tokko illee hin deemin.
And the king sends and calls for Shimei, and says to him, “Build a house for yourself in Jerusalem, and you have dwelt there, and do not go out [from] there anywhere;
37 Gaafa achii baatee Sulula Qeedroon ceetutti akka duutu dhugumaan beeki; dhiigni kees matuma keetti deebiʼa.”
and it has been, in the day of your going out, and you have passed over the Brook of Kidron, you certainly know that you surely die—your blood is on your head.”
38 Shimeʼiinis, “Wanni ati jette gaarii dha. Garbichi kee akkuma gooftaan koo mootichi jedhe sana ni godha” jedhee mootichaaf deebise. Shimeʼiinis bara dheeraa Yerusaalem keessa jiraate.
And Shimei says to the king, “The word [is] good; as my lord the king has spoken so your servant does”; and Shimei dwells in Jerusalem many days.
39 Garuu waggoota sadii booddee garboota Saamii keessaa namoonni lama gara Aakiish ilma Maʼakaa mooticha Gaatitti baqatan; Shimeʼiittis, “Garboonni kee Gaati keessa jiru” jedhamee himame.
And it comes to pass, at the end of three years, that two of the servants of Shimei flee to Achish son of Maachah, king of Gath, and they declare to Shimei, saying, “Behold, your servants [are] in Gath”;
40 Innis waan kana dhageenyaan kaʼee harree isaa irra kooraa kaaʼatee garboota isaa barbaadachuu Aakiish bira Gaati dhaqe. Kanaafuu Shimeʼiin dhaqee Gaatii garboota isaa fidate.
and Shimei rises, and saddles his donkey, and goes to Gath, to Achish, to seek his servants, and Shimei goes and brings his servants from Gath.
41 Yommuu akka Shimeʼiin Yerusaalemii baʼee Gaati dhaqee deebiʼe Solomoonitti himametti,
And it is declared to Solomon that Shimei has gone from Jerusalem to Gath, and returns,
42 mootichi Shimeʼii waamsisee akkana jedheen; “Ani maqaa Waaqayyootiin si kakachiisee, ‘Ati guyyaa kaatee iddoo biraa dhaquuf baate akka duutu beekkadhu’ jedhee si hin seerree? Atis gaafas, ‘Wanni ati jettu gaarii dha. Ani nan ajajama’ naan jette.
and the king sends and calls for Shimei, and says to him, “Have I not caused you to swear by YHWH—and I testify against you, saying, In the day of your going out, and you have gone anywhere, you certainly know that you surely die; and you say to me, The word I have heard [is] good?
43 Yoos ati Maaliif kakuu Waaqayyoon kakatte sana eeguu diddee ajaja ani siif kenneefis ajajamuu didde ree?”
And why have you not kept the oath of YHWH, and the charge that I charged on you?”
44 Mootichi amma illee Shimeʼiidhaan akkana jedhe; “Ati cubbuu abbaa koo Daawititti hojjette hunda garaa kee keessatti ni beekta. Waaqayyo amma jalʼina kee sana matuma keetti deebisa.
And the king says to Shimei, “You have known all the evil that your heart has known, which you did to my father David, and YHWH has turned back your evil on your head,
45 Solomoon mootichi garuu ni eebbifama; teessoon Daawitis bara baraan jabaatee fuula Waaqayyoo dura ni jiraata.”
and King Solomon [is] blessed, and the throne of David is established before YHWH for all time.”
46 Mootichis Benaayaa ilma Yehooyaadaa ni ajaje; innis dhaqee Saamii dhaʼee ajjeese. Mootummaanis yeroo kanatti harka Solomoonitti jabaatee dhaabate.
And the king charges Benaiah son of Jehoiada, and he goes out and falls on him, and he dies, and the kingdom is established in the hand of Solomon.
