1 Mootota 21
1 Naabot namichi Yizriʼeel tokko Yizriʼeel keessaa, masaraa mootummaa Ahaab mooticha Samaariyaa biraa iddoo dhaabaa wayinii qaba ture.
Now Naboth the Jezreelite had a vine-garden in Jezreel, near the house of Ahab, king of Samaria.
2 Ahaabis Naabotiin akkana jedhe; “Sababii inni masaraa mootummaa kootti dhiʼaatuuf akka ani achi irra biqiltuu dhaabbadhuuf iddoo dhaabaa wayinii keetii naaf kenni. Qooda isaa ani iddoo dhaabaa wayinii kan isa caalu yookaan yoo ati feete gatii isaa maallaqa siifin kennaa.”
And Ahab said to Naboth, Give me your vine-garden so that I may have it for a garden of sweet plants, for it is near my house; and let me give you a better vine-garden in exchange, or, if it seems good to you, let me give you its value in money.
3 Naabot garuu, “Dhaala abbootii koo siif kennuu irraa Waaqayyo na haa eegu” jedhee deebise.
But Naboth said to Ahab, By the Lord, far be it from me to give you the heritage of my fathers.
4 Kanaafuu sababii Naabot namichi Yizriʼeel sun “Ani dhaala abbootii koo siif hin kennu” jedheef Ahaab akka malee aaree dheekkamaa gara mana isaatti gale. Innis fuula isaa garagalfatee siree isaa irra ciise; waa nyaachuus ni dide.
So Ahab came into his house bitter and angry because Naboth the Jezreelite had said to him, I will not give you the heritage of my fathers. And stretching himself on the bed with his face turned away, he would take no food.
5 Iizaabel niitiin isaas ol seentee, “Ati maaliif akkana aarta? Maaliif waa hin nyaanne?” jettee isa gaafatte.
But Jezebel, his wife, came to him and said, Why is your spirit so bitter that you have no desire for food?
6 Innis akkana jedhee deebiseef; “Sababii Naabot namichi Yizriʼeel sun, ani, ‘Iddoo dhaabaa wayinii keetii natti gurguri, yookaan yoo ati feete qooda isaa iddoo dhaabaa wayinii biraa siifin kenna’ jennaaniin inni immoo, ‘Ani iddoo dhaabaa wayinii koo siif hin kennu’ naan jedheef.”
And he said to her, Because I was talking to Naboth the Jezreelite, and I said to him, Let me have your vine-garden for a price, or, if it is pleasing to you, I will give you another vine-garden for it: and he said, I will not give you my vine-garden.
7 Niitiin isaa Iizaabelis, “Ati amma mootii Israaʼelii? Kaʼii buddeena nyaadhu! Gammadis. Ani iddoo dhaabaa wayinii Naabot namicha Yizriʼeel sanaa siifin kennaa” jetteen.
Then Jezebel, his wife, said, Are you now the ruler of Israel? Get up, take food, and let your heart be glad; I will give you the vine-garden of Naboth the Jezreelite.
8 Kanaafuu isheen maqaa Ahaabiin xalayoota barreessitee chaappaa isaatiin chaappeessitee maanguddootaa fi namoota bebeekamoo magaalaa Naabot keessa isa wajjin jiraatanitti ergite.
So she sent a letter in Ahab's name, stamped with his stamp, to the responsible men and the chiefs who were in authority with Naboth.
9 Xalayoota sana keessattis akkana jettee barreessite: “Guyyaa soomaa tokko labsaatii akka Naabot waldaa keessa iddoo ol aanu taaʼu godhaa.
And in the letter she said, Let a time of public sorrow be fixed, and put Naboth at the head of the people;
10 Namoota kashlabboota lama fuula isaa dura teessisaatii akka isaan akka inni Waaqaa fi mooticha abaare itti rageessan godhaa. Ergasiis gad baasaatii dhagaadhaan tumaa isa ajjeesaa.”
And get two good-for-nothing persons to come before him and give witness that he has been cursing God and the king. Then take him out and have him stoned to death.
11 Kanaafuu maanguddoonnii fi namoonni bebbeekamoon magaalaa Naabot keessa jiraatan akkuma Iizaabel xalayoota barreessiteef keessatti isaan ajajje sana godhan.
So the responsible men and the chiefs who were in authority in his town, did as Jezebel had said in the letter she sent them.
12 Isaanis sooma labsanii akka Naabot waldaa keessa iddoo ol aanu taaʼu godhan.
They gave orders for a day of public sorrow, and put Naboth at the head of the people.
13 Ergasii Kashlabboonni lama dhufanii fuula isaa dura tataaʼanii, “Naabot Waaqaa fi mooticha abaareera” jedhanii namoota duratti itti rageessan. Kanaafis magaalaa keessaa gad baasanii dhagaadhaan tumanii isa ajjeesan.
And the two good-for-nothing persons came in and took their seats before him and gave witness against Naboth, in front of the people, saying, Naboth has been cursing God and the king. Then they took him outside the town and had him stoned to death.
14 Ergasii isaan, “Naabot dhagaan tumamee duʼeera” jedhanii Iizaabelitti ergaa ergan.
And they sent word to Jezebel, saying, Naboth has been stoned and is dead.
15 Iizaabelis akkuma akka Naabot dhagaan tumamee duʼe dhageesseen Ahaabiin, “Kaʼiitii iddoo dhaabaa wayinii Naabot namichi Yizriʼeel sitti gurguruu dide sana dhaali. Inni lubbuun hin jiru; duʼeeraa” jette.
Then Jezebel, hearing that Naboth had been stoned and was dead, said to Ahab, Get up and take as your heritage the vine-garden of Naboth the Jezreelite, which he would not give you for money, for Naboth is no longer living but is dead.
16 Ahaabis akka Naabot duʼe dhageenyaan iddoo dhaabaa wayinii Naabot sana dhaaluuf kaʼee gad buʼe.
So Ahab, hearing that Naboth was dead, went down to the vine-garden of Naboth the Jezreelite to take it as his heritage.
17 Dubbiin Waaqayyoo akkana jedhee gara Eeliyaas namicha Tishbii sanaa dhufe;
And the word of the Lord came to Elijah the Tishbite, saying,
18 “Ahaab mooticha Israaʼel kan Samaariyaa keessa taaʼee bulchu sana arguuf gad buʼi. Inni amma lafa qotiisaa sana dhaaluuf gad buʼee iddoo dhaabaa wayinii Naabot keessa jira.
Go down to Ahab, king of Israel, in Samaria; see, he is in the vine-garden of Naboth the Jezreelite, where he has gone to take it as his heritage.
19 Atis akkana jedhiin: ‘Waaqayyo akkana jedha; ati nama tokko ajjeeftee qabeenya isaa hin dhaallee?’ Ergasiis akkana jedhiin; ‘Waaqayyo akkana jedha: Iddoo sareen dhiiga Naabot arraabde sanatti sareen dhiiga kees ni arraabdi; eeyyee dhugumaan dhiiga kees ni arraabdi!’”
Say to him, The Lord says, Have you put a man to death and taken his heritage? Then say to him, The Lord says, In the place where dogs have been drinking the blood of Naboth, there will your blood become the drink of dogs.
20 Ahaabis Eeliyaasiin, “Yaa diina ko, ati na argatteerta!” jedhe. Innis deebisee akkana jedheen; “Sababii ati fuula Waaqayyoo duratti waan hamaa hojjechuuf of gurgurteef ani si argadheera.
And Ahab said to Elijah, Have you come face to face with me, O my hater? And he said, I have come to you because you have given yourself up to do evil in the eyes of the Lord.
21 ‘Ani badiisa sitti nan fida. Sanyii kee illee nan balleessa; dhiira mana Ahaab, garbas taʼu birmaduu hunda Israaʼel keessaa nan balleessa.
See, I will send evil on you and put an end to you completely, cutting off from Ahab every male child, him who is shut up and him who goes free in Israel;
22 Sababii ati aariif na kakaaftee fi akka Israaʼel cubbuu hojjetu gooteef ani mana kee akkuma mana Yerobiʼaam ilma Nebaat sanaatii fi akkuma mana Baʼishaan ilma Ahiiyaa sanaa nan godha.’
And I will make your family like the family of Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, and like the family of Baasha, the son of Ahijah, because you have made me angry, and have made Israel do evil.
23 “Waaʼee Iizaabelis Waaqayyo akkana jedha: ‘Dallaa dhagaa Yizriʼeel biratti saroonni Iizaabelin ni nyaatu.’
And of Jezebel the Lord said, Jezebel will become food for dogs in the heritage of Jezreel.
24 “Nama Ahaab kan magaalaa keessatti duʼu kam iyyuu sareetu nyaata; kan baadiyyaatti duʼu immoo allaattii samiitu nyaata.”
Any man of the family of Ahab who comes to his death in the town will become food for the dogs; and he who comes to his death in the open country will be food for the birds of the air.
25 Namni akka Ahaab isa niitii ofii isaa Iizaabeliin kakaafamee fuula Waaqayyoo duratti waan hamaa hojjechuudhaaf of gurgure sanaa gonkumaa hin jiru.
(There was no one like Ahab, who gave himself up to do evil in the eyes of the Lord, moved to it by Jezebel his wife.
26 Inni akkuma Amoorota kanneen Waaqayyo saba Israaʼel duraa ariʼee baase sanaa waaqota tolfamoo duukaa buʼuudhaan waan akka malee jibbisiisaa taʼe hojjete.
He did a very disgusting thing in going after false gods, doing all the things the Amorites did, whom the Lord sent out before the children of Israel.)
27 Ahaab yommuu dubbii kana dhagaʼetti uffata isaa tarsaasee, wayyaa gaddaa uffatee soome. Innis wayyaa gaddaatiin ciisaa, mataa buusees deemaa ture.
Hearing these words, Ahab, in great grief, put haircloth on his flesh and went without food, sleeping in haircloth, and going about quietly.
28 Dubbiin Waaqayyoos akkana jedhee gara Eeliyaas namicha Tishbii sanaa dhufe:
Then the word of the Lord came to Elijah the Tishbite, saying,
29 “Ati akka Ahaab fuula koo duratti gad of qabe argitee? Sababii inni gad of qabeef ani balaa kana bara isaa keessa hin fidu; garuu bara ilma isaa keessa mana isaatti nan fida.”
Do you see how Ahab has made himself low before me? because he has made himself low before me, I will not send the evil in his life-time, but in his son's time I will send the evil on his family.
