1 Mootota 21
1 Naabot namichi Yizriʼeel tokko Yizriʼeel keessaa, masaraa mootummaa Ahaab mooticha Samaariyaa biraa iddoo dhaabaa wayinii qaba ture.
It happened after these things, that Naboth the Jezreelite had a vineyard, which was in Jezreel, near the palace 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.”
Ahab spoke to Naboth, saying, "Give me your vineyard, that I may have it for a vegetable garden, because it is near to my house; and I will give you for it a better vineyard than it. Or, if it seems good to you, I will give you its worth in money."
3 Naabot garuu, “Dhaala abbootii koo siif kennuu irraa Waaqayyo na haa eegu” jedhee deebise.
Naboth said to Ahab, "May the LORD forbid me, that I should give the inheritance of my fathers to you."
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.
Ahab came into his house sullen and angry because of the word which Naboth the Jezreelite had spoken to him; for he had said, "I will not give you the inheritance of my fathers." He laid himself down on his bed, and turned away his face, and would eat no bread.
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 to him, "Why is your spirit so sad, that you eat no bread?"
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.”
He said to her, "Because I spoke to Naboth the Jezreelite, and said to him, 'Give me your vineyard for money; or else, if it pleases you, I will give you another vineyard for it.' He answered, 'I will not give you my vineyard.'"
7 Niitiin isaa Iizaabelis, “Ati amma mootii Israaʼelii? Kaʼii buddeena nyaadhu! Gammadis. Ani iddoo dhaabaa wayinii Naabot namicha Yizriʼeel sanaa siifin kennaa” jetteen.
Jezebel his wife said to him, "Do you now govern the kingdom of Israel? Arise, and eat bread, and let your heart be merry. I will give you the vineyard 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 wrote letters in Ahab's name, and sealed them with his seal, and sent the letters to the elders and to the nobles who were in his city, who lived with Naboth.
9 Xalayoota sana keessattis akkana jettee barreessite: “Guyyaa soomaa tokko labsaatii akka Naabot waldaa keessa iddoo ol aanu taaʼu godhaa.
She wrote in the letters, saying, "Proclaim a fast, and set Naboth on high among 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.”
Set two men, base fellows, before him, and let them testify against him, saying, 'You cursed God and the king.' Then carry him out, and stone him to death."
11 Kanaafuu maanguddoonnii fi namoonni bebbeekamoon magaalaa Naabot keessa jiraatan akkuma Iizaabel xalayoota barreessiteef keessatti isaan ajajje sana godhan.
The men of his city, even the elders and the nobles who lived in his city, did as Jezebel had sent to them, according as it was written in the letters which she had sent to them.
12 Isaanis sooma labsanii akka Naabot waldaa keessa iddoo ol aanu taaʼu godhan.
They proclaimed a fast, and set Naboth on high among 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.
The two men, the base fellows, came in and sat before him. The base fellows testified against him, even against Naboth, in the presence of the people, saying, "Naboth cursed God and the king." Then they carried him out of the city, and stoned him to death with stones.
14 Ergasii isaan, “Naabot dhagaan tumamee duʼeera” jedhanii Iizaabelitti ergaa ergan.
Then they sent 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.
It happened, when Jezebel heard that Naboth was stoned, and was dead, that Jezebel said to Ahab, "Arise, take possession of the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite, which he refused to give you for money; for Naboth is not alive, but dead."
16 Ahaabis akka Naabot duʼe dhageenyaan iddoo dhaabaa wayinii Naabot sana dhaaluuf kaʼee gad buʼe.
It happened, when Ahab heard that Naboth was dead, that Ahab rose up to go down to the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite, to take possession of it.
17 Dubbiin Waaqayyoo akkana jedhee gara Eeliyaas namicha Tishbii sanaa dhufe;
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.
"Arise, go down to meet Ahab king of Israel, who dwells in Samaria. Look, he is in the vineyard of Naboth, where he has gone down to take possession of it.
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!’”
You shall speak to him, saying, 'Thus says the LORD, "Have you killed and also taken possession?"' You shall speak to him, saying, 'Thus says the LORD, "In the place where dogs licked the blood of Naboth, dogs will lick your blood, even yours."'"
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 found me, my enemy?" And he answered, "I have found you, because you have sold yourself to do that which is evil in the sight of the LORD, to provoke him to anger.
21 ‘Ani badiisa sitti nan fida. Sanyii kee illee nan balleessa; dhiira mana Ahaab, garbas taʼu birmaduu hunda Israaʼel keessaa nan balleessa.
Thus says the LORD, 'Look, I will bring disaster on you, and will utterly sweep you away and will cut off from Ahab everyone, slave or 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.’
I will make your house like the house of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, and like the house of Baasha the son of Ahijah for the provocation with which you have provoked me to anger, and have made Israel to sin.'"
23 “Waaʼee Iizaabelis Waaqayyo akkana jedha: ‘Dallaa dhagaa Yizriʼeel biratti saroonni Iizaabelin ni nyaatu.’
The LORD also spoke of Jezebel, saying, "The dogs shall eat Jezebel in the district of Jezreel.
24 “Nama Ahaab kan magaalaa keessatti duʼu kam iyyuu sareetu nyaata; kan baadiyyaatti duʼu immoo allaattii samiitu nyaata.”
The dogs will eat he who dies of Ahab in the city; and the birds of the sky will eat he who dies in the field."
25 Namni akka Ahaab isa niitii ofii isaa Iizaabeliin kakaafamee fuula Waaqayyoo duratti waan hamaa hojjechuudhaaf of gurgure sanaa gonkumaa hin jiru.
But there was none like Ahab, who sold himself to do that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, whom Jezebel his wife stirred up.
26 Inni akkuma Amoorota kanneen Waaqayyo saba Israaʼel duraa ariʼee baase sanaa waaqota tolfamoo duukaa buʼuudhaan waan akka malee jibbisiisaa taʼe hojjete.
He did very abominably in following idols, according to all that the Amorites did, whom the LORD cast 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.
It happened, when Ahab heard those words, that he tore his clothes, and put sackcloth on his flesh, and fasted, and lay in sackcloth, and went softly.
28 Dubbiin Waaqayyoos akkana jedhee gara Eeliyaas namicha Tishbii sanaa dhufe:
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.”
"See how Ahab humbles himself before me? Because he humbles himself before me, I will not bring the disaster in his days; but in his son's days will I bring the disaster on his house."
