1 Mootota 20
1 Yeroo kanatti Ben-Hadaad mootichi Sooriyaa loltoota ofii isaa guutuu walitti qabate. Mootonni soddomii lama kanneen fardeenii fi gaariiwwan qabanis isa wajjin turan. Innis dhaqee Samaariyaa marsee lole.
And Benhadad the king of Syria gathered all his host together: and there were thirty and two kings with him, and horses, and chariots; and he went up and besieged Samaria, and warred against it.
2 Innis akkana jedhee gara magaalaa Ahaab mooticha Israaʼelitti ergamoota erge; “Wanni Ben-Hadaad jedhu kanaa dha;
And he sent messengers to Ahab king of Israel into the city, and said unto him, Thus says Benhadad,
3 ‘Meetiin keetii fi warqeen kee kanuma koo ti; niitonni keetii fi ijoolleen kee babbareedoonis kanuma koo ti.’”
Your silver and your gold is mine; your wives also and your children, even the best, are mine.
4 Mootiin Israaʼel immoo, “Yaa gooftaa koo mooticha, akkuma ati jette sana anii fi wanni ani qabu hundi keetuma” jedhee deebiseef.
And the king of Israel answered and said, My lord, O king, according to your saying, I am yours, and all that I have.
5 Ergamoonni sun ammas dhufanii akkana jedhaniin; “Wanni Ben-Hadaad jedhu kanaa dha; ‘Ani akka ati meetii fi warqee kee, niitotaa fi ijoollee kee naaf kennituuf ergaa sitti ergeera.
And the messengers came again, and said, Thus speaks Benhadad, saying, Although I have sent unto you, saying, You shall deliver me your silver, and your gold, and your wives, and your children;
6 Garuu ani bor yoona masaraa mootummaa keetiitii fi manneen qondaaltota keetii soquuf qondaaltota koo nan erga. Isaanis waan ati jaallattu hunda fudhatanii deemu.’”
Yet I will send my servants unto you tomorrow about this time, and they shall search your house, and the houses of your servants; and it shall be, that whatsoever is pleasant in your eyes, they shall put it in their hand, and take it away.
7 Mootichi Israaʼel immoo maanguddoota biyya sanaa hunda walitti waamee akkana jedheen; “Akka namichi kun rakkina uumuu barbaadu mee isinuu ilaalaa! Yeroo inni niitotaa fi ijoollee koo, meetii fi warqee koo fudhachuuf nama ergetti ani hin dhowwanne.”
Then the king of Israel called all the elders of the land, and said, Mark, I pray you, and see how this man seeks mischief: for he sent unto me for my wives, and for my children, and for my silver, and for my gold; and I denied him not.
8 Maanguddoonnii fi namoonni hundinuu, “Ati dubbii isaa hin dhagaʼin yookaan waan inni barbaadu tole hin jedhin” jedhaniin.
And all the elders and all the people said unto him, Hearken not unto him, nor consent.
9 Kanaafuu inni, “‘Garbichi kee waan ati jalqabatti ajajje hunda ni guuta; ani garuu waan ati amma gaafatte kana gochuu hin dandaʼu’ jedhaatii gooftaa koo mootichatti himaa” jedhee ergamoota Ben-Hadaadiif deebii kenne. Isaanis kaʼanii deebii sana fuudhanii Ben-Hadaaditti geessan.
Wherefore he said unto the messengers of Benhadad, Tell my lord the king, All that you did send in order to your servant at the first I will do: but this thing I may not do. And the messengers departed, and brought him word again.
10 Ben-Hadaad immoo, “Yoo biyyoon Samaariyaa namoota koo warra na duukaa buʼan konyee tokko tokko illee wal gaʼe, waaqonni na haa adaban; adabbiin sunis akka malee natti haa cimu” jedhee ergaa biraa Ahaabitti erge.
And Benhadad sent unto him, and said, The gods do so unto me, and more also, if the dust of Samaria shall suffice for handfuls for all the people that follow me.
11 Mootiin Israaʼelis, “‘Namni miʼa lolaa hidhachaa jiru tokko akka nama miʼa lolaa of irraa hiikaa jiru tokkootti of jajuu hin qabu’ jedhaatii itti hima” jedhee deebise.
And the king of Israel answered and said, Tell him, Let not him that girds on his harness boast himself as he that puts it off.
12 Ben-Hadaadis utuma mootota wajjin dunkaana keessatti waa dhugaa jiruu ergaa kana dhagaʼee, “Isin lolaaf qophaaʼaa” jedhee namoota ofii isaa ajaje. Kanaafuu isaan magaalaa sana dhaʼuuf qophaaʼan.
And it came to pass, when Ben-hadad heard this message, as he was drinking, he and the kings in the pavilions, that he said unto his servants, Set yourselves in array. And they set themselves in array against the city.
13 Yeroo kanatti raajiin tokko gara Ahaab mooticha Israaʼel dhufee, “Waaqayyo akkana jedha: ‘Ati loltoota akka malee baayʼatan kana argitaa? Ani harʼa dabarsee harka keetti isaan nan kenna; atis ergasii akka ani Waaqayyo taʼe ni beekta’” jedhe.
And, behold, there came a prophet unto Ahab king of Israel, saying, Thus says the LORD, Have you seen all this great multitude? behold, I will deliver it into your hand this day; and you shall know that I am the LORD.
14 Ahaab garuu, “Eenyutu waan kana hojjeta?” jedhee gaafate. Raajiin sunis, “Waaqayyo akkana jedha; ‘Tajaajiltoota bulchitoota kutaalee biyyaa kanneen dargaggoo taʼanitu waan kana hojjeta’” jedhee deebiseef. Innis, “Eenyutu lola jalqaba?” jedhee gaafate. Raajiin sunis, “Situ jalqaba” jedhee deebiseef.
And Ahab said, By whom? And he said, Thus says the LORD, Even by the young men of the princes of the provinces. Then he said, Who shall order the battle? And he answered, You.
15 Kanaafuu Ahaab tajaajiltoota bulchitoota kutaalee biyyaa kanneen dargaggoo taʼan dhibba lamaa fi soddomii lama walitti waame. Ergasiis Israaʼeloota hafan keessaa walumaa galatti namoota kuma torba walitti qabe.
Then he numbered the young men of the princes of the provinces, and they were two hundred and thirty two: and after them he numbered all the people, even all the children of Israel, being seven thousand.
16 Isaanis utuma Ben-Hadaadii fi mootonni soddomii lama kanneen isa tumsan dunkaana keessatti dhuganii machaaʼaa jiranuu guyyaa saafaadhaan itti qajeelan.
And they went out at noon. But Benhadad was drinking himself drunk in the pavilions, he and the kings, the thirty and two kings that helped him.
17 Tajaajiltoonni bulchitoota kutaalee biyyaa kanneen dargaggoo taʼanis jalqabatti gad baʼan. Ben-Hadaadis gaaddota ergee ture; isaanis deebiʼanii, “Namoonni muraasni Samaariyaadhaa baʼanii dhufuutti jiru” jedhanii isatti himan.
And the young men of the princes of the provinces went out first; and Benhadad sent out, and they told him, saying, There are men come out of Samaria.
18 Inni immoo, “Yoo isaan nagaaf dhufan utuma isaan lubbuun jiranuu isaan qabaa; yoo isaan lolaaf dhufanis akkasuma utuma isaan lubbuun jiranuu qabaa” jedhe.
And he said, Whether they be come out for peace, take them alive; or whether they be come out for war, take them alive.
19 Tajaajiltoonni bulchitoota kutaalee biyyaa kanneen dargaggoo taʼan sunis loltoota dura buʼanii magaalaa sanaa baʼan;
So these young men of the princes of the provinces came out of the city, and the army which followed them.
20 tokkoon tokkoon isaaniis diina isaanii dhaʼanii ajjeesan. Kana irratti warri Sooriyaa ni baqatan; Israaʼeloonni immoo isaan ariʼan. Ben-Hadaad mootichi Sooriyaa garuu farda yaabbatee abbootii fardaa wajjin baqatee jalaa baʼe.
And they slew every one his man: and the Syrians fled; and Israel pursued them: and Benhadad the king of Syria escaped on an horse with the horsemen.
21 Mootiin Israaʼel ittuma fufee abbootii fardaatii fi gaariiwwanii lolee moʼachuudhaan warra Sooriyaa akka malee miidhe.
And the king of Israel went out, and stroke the horses and chariots, and slew the Syrians with a great slaughter.
22 Ergasii raajiin sun gara mooticha Israaʼel dhufee, “Of jabeessi; waan gochuu qabdus sirriitti hubadhu; mootiin Sooriyaa bara dhufu keessa deebiʼee si lolaatii” jedhe.
And the prophet came to the king of Israel, and said unto him, Go, strengthen yourself, and mark, and see what you do: for at the return of the year the king of Syria will come up against you.
23 Yeroo kanatti qondaaltonni mootii Sooriyaa akkana jedhanii isa gorsan; “Waaqonni isaanii waaqota gaarranii ti. Sababiin isaan akka malee nutti jabaataniif kana. Nu yoo lafa diriiraa irratti isaan lolle garuu dhugumaan isaan caalaa jabaanna.
And the servants of the king of Syria said unto him, Their gods are gods of the hills; therefore they were stronger than we; but let us fight against them in the plain, and surely we shall be stronger than they.
24 Ati amma waan kana godhi: Mootota hunda aangoo isaanii irraa ariʼiitii iddoo isaanii ajajjoota kaan buusi.
And do this thing, Take the kings away, every man out of his place, and put captains in their rooms:
25 Akkasumas loltoota akka loltoota kee kanneen dhuman sanaa jechuunis qooda fardaa farda, qooda gaarii immoo gaarii qopheessi. Akkasiin nu dirree irratti Israaʼelin loluu dandeenya; isaan caalaas ni jabaanna.” Innis dubbii isaanii fudhatee akkuma isaan jedhan sana godhe.
And number you an army, like the army that you have lost, horse for horse, and chariot for chariot: and we will fight against them in the plain, and surely we shall be stronger than they. And he hearkened unto their voice, and did so.
26 Bara itti aanu keessa Ben-Hadaad namoota Sooriyaa walitti qabatee Israaʼelin loluuf Afeeqitti ol baʼe.
And it came to pass at the return of the year, that Benhadad numbered the Syrians, and went up to Aphek, to fight against Israel.
27 Israaʼeloonnis walitti qabamanii waan nyaatan qabatanii jaratti duulan. Israaʼeloonni akkuma bushaayee karra xixinnaa lamaatti fuullee isaanii qubatan; warri Sooriyaa garuu baadiyyaa keessa guutan.
And the children of Israel were numbered, and were all present, and went against them: and the children of Israel pitched before them like two little flocks of kids; but the Syrians filled the country.
28 Namni Waaqaa sunis dhufee mootii Israaʼeliin akkana jedhe; “Waaqayyo akkana jedha; ‘Sababii warri Sooriyaa Waaqayyo Waaqa gaarraniiti malee Waaqa sululootaa miti jedhaniif, ani tuuta akka malee guddaa kana hunda dabarsee harka keetti nan kenna; isinis akka ani Waaqayyo taʼe ni beektu.’”
And there came a man of God, and spoke unto the king of Israel, and said, Thus says the LORD, Because the Syrians have said, The LORD is God of the hills, but he is not God of the valleys, therefore will I deliver all this great multitude into your hand, and all of you shall know that I am the LORD.
29 Isaanis bultii torbaaf fuullee walii qubatanii, bultii torbaffaatti waraanni jalqabame. Israaʼeloonnis guyyuma tokkotti warra Sooriyaa keessaa loltoota lafoo kuma dhibba tokko ajjeesan.
And they pitched one opposite to the other seven days. And so it was, that in the seventh day the battle was joined: and the children of Israel slew of the Syrians an hundred thousand footmen in one day.
30 Warri hafan kaan magaalaa Afeeqitti baqatanii achittis nama kuma digdamii torba irratti dallaan dhagaa jige. Ben-Hadaad immoo magaalaa sanatti baqatee kutaa mana tokkoo kan gara keessaa keessatti dhokate.
But the rest fled to Aphek, into the city; and there a wall fell upon twenty and seven thousand of the men that were left. And Benhadad fled, and came into the city, into an inner chamber.
31 Qondaaltonni isaas akkana jedhaniin; “Ilaa, nu akka mootonni mana Israaʼel mootota nama maaran taʼan dhageenyeerra. Mee kottaa nu mudhii keenyatti uffata gaddaa hidhannee, mataa keenyatti immoo funyoo marannee mootii Israaʼel bira haa dhaqnu. Inni lubbuu kee ni oolcha taʼaatii.”
And his servants said unto him, Behold now, we have heard that the kings of the house of Israel are merciful kings: let us, I pray you, put sackcloth on our loins, and ropes upon our heads, and go out to the king of Israel: possibly he will save your life.
32 Kanaafuu isaan mudhii isaaniitti uffata gaddaa hidhatanii, mataa isaaniitti funyoo maratanii mootii Israaʼel bira dhaqanii, “Garbichi kee Ben-Hadaad, ‘Maaloo lubbuu koo naa oolchi’ siin jedha” jedhaniin. Mootichi immoo, “Inni hamma ammaattuu lubbuun jiraa? Inni obboleessa koo ti” jedhee deebise.
So they girded sackcloth on their loins, and put ropes on their heads, and came to the king of Israel, and said, Your servant Benhadad says, I pray you, let me live. And he said, Is he yet alive? he is my brother.
33 Namoonni sunis waan kana akka mallattoo gaariitti fudhatanii dubbii isaa dafanii qabatanii “Eeyyee, Ben-Hadaad obboleessa kee ti!” jedhan. Mootichis, “Dhaqaatii isa fidaa” jedhe. Yommuu Ben-Hadaad dhufettis Ahaab akka inni ol baʼee gaarii isaa keessa seenu godhe.
Now the men did diligently observe whether any thing would come from him, and did hastily catch it: and they said, Your brother Benhadad. Then he said, Go all of you, bring him. Then Benhadad came forth to him; and he caused him to come up into the chariot.
34 Ben-Hadaadis akkana jedheen; “Ani magaalaawwan abbaan koo abbaa kee irraa fudhate sana siifin deebisa. Akkuma abbaan koo Samaariyaa keessatti hojjete sana, ati Damaasqoo keessatti lafa gabaa ofii keetii dhaabbachuu dandeessa.” Ahaab immoo, “Ani walii galteedhaan gad si dhiisa” jedheen. Kanaafuu isa wajjin walii galtee godhatee gad isa dhiise.
And Ben-hadad said unto him, The cities, which my father took from your father, I will restore; and you shall make streets for you in Damascus, as my father made in Samaria. Then said Ahab, I will send you away with this covenant. So he made a covenant with him, and sent him away.
35 Ilmaan raajotaa keessaa tokko ajaja Waaqayyootiin michuu isaa tokkoon, “Maaloo na dhaʼi” jedhe. Namichi sun garuu isa dhaʼuu dide.
And a certain man of the sons of the prophets said unto his neighbour in the word of the LORD, Strike me, I pray you. And the man refused to strike him.
36 Kanaafuu raajiin sun, “Waan ati dubbii Waaqayyootiif hin ajajamniif akkuma ati na biraa deemtuun leenci si ajjeesa” jedheen. Erga namichi kaʼee deemee booddee leenci dhufee isa argate isa ajjeese.
Then said he unto him, Because you have not obeyed the voice of the LORD, behold, as soon as you are departed from me, a lion shall slay you. And as soon as he was departed from him, a lion found him, and slew him.
37 Raajiin sun nama biraa argee, “Maaloo na dhaʼi” jedheen. Kanaafuu namichi sun dhaʼee isa madeesse.
Then he found another man, and said, Strike me, I pray you. And the man stroke him, so that in smiting he wounded him.
38 Ergasii raajiin sun ija haguuggatee eenyummaa isaa dhokfatee dhaqee qarqara karaa dhaabatee mooticha eegaa ture.
So the prophet departed, and waited for the king by the way, and disguised himself with ashes upon his face.
39 Utuma mootichi karaa sana darbaa jiruu raajiin sun isa waamee akkana jedheen; “Garbichi kee lola walakkaa seenee jennaan namni tokko nama boojiʼame tokko fidee, ‘Namicha kana eegi. Yoo inni bade lubbuun kee qooda lubbuu isaa baafamti yookaan meetii taalaantii tokkoo baafta’ jedhe.
And as the king passed by, he cried unto the king: and he said, Your servant went out into the midst of the battle; and, behold, a man turned aside, and brought a man unto me, and said, Keep this man: if by any means he be missing, then shall your life be for his life, or else you shall pay a talent of silver.
40 Namichi sunis utuu garbichi kee hojiin qabamee asii fi achi fiigaa jiruu bade.” Mootichi Israaʼelis deebisee, “Wanni sitti murtaaʼu sanuma; ati mataan kee iyyuu murteerta” jedheen.
And as your servant was busy here and there, he was gone. And the king of Israel said unto him, So shall your judgment be; yourself have decided it.
41 Raajiin sunis dafee ija isaa irraa haguuggii gad buufate; mootichi Israaʼelis akka inni raajota keessaa isa tokko taʼe hubate.
And he hasted, and took the ashes away from his face; and the king of Israel discerned him that he was of the prophets.
42 Innis mootichaan akkana jedhe; “Waaqayyo akkana jedha: ‘Ati namicha ani akka inni duʼu itti mure gad lakkifteerta. Kanaafuu lubbuun kee qooda lubbuu isaa, sabni kees qooda saba isaa galaafatama.’”
And he said unto him, Thus says the LORD, Because you have let go out of your hand a man whom I appointed to utter destruction, therefore your life shall go for his life, and your people for his people.
43 Mootichi Israaʼel sunis akka malee aaree dheekkamaa gara masaraa mootummaa isaa kan Samaariyaa keessa jiru sanaa dhaqe.
And the king of Israel went to his house heavy and displeased, and came to Samaria.
