< 1 Saamuʼeel 11 >
1 Naahaash namichi Amoon sun ol baʼee Yaabeesh Giliʼaadin marse. Namoonni Yaabeesh hundinuus Naaʼaashiin, “Kottu walii galtee godhannaa; nus siif hojjennaa” jedhan.
THEN Nahash the Ammonite came up, and encamped against Jabesh-gilead: and all the men of Jabesh said unto Nahash, Make a covenant with us, and we will serve thee.
2 Naahaash namichi Amoon garuu, “Ani kanan isin wajjin walii galtee godhadhu yoo ija mirgaa tokkoo tokkoo keessanii isin keessaa baasee akkasiin Israaʼel hunda salphise qofa” jedhee deebiseef.
And Nahash the Ammonite answered them, On this condition will I make a covenant with you, that I may thrust out all your right eyes, and lay it for a reproach upon all Israel.
3 Maanguddoonni Yaabeesh immoo, “Akka nu guutummaa Israaʼel keessa ergamoota ergannuuf guyyaa torba nuuf obsi; yoo namni nu oolchu tokko iyyuu jiraachuu baate nu siif bulla” isaan jedhan.
And the elders of Jabesh said unto him, Give us seven days’ respite, that we may send messengers unto all the coasts of Israel: and then, if there be no man to save us, we will come out to thee.
4 Ergamoonni kunneenis yommuu gara Gibeʼaa iddoo Saaʼol jiraatu dhufanii waan kana namootatti himanitti, namoonni hundi sagalee ol fudhatanii ni booʼan.
Then came the messengers to Gibeah of Saul, and told the tidings in the ears of the people: and all the people lifted up their voices, and wept.
5 Yeroo sanatti Saaʼol sangoota isaa oofaa iddoo qonnaatii gala ture; innis, “Sabni kun maal taʼee booʼa?” jedhee gaafate. Isaanis waan namoonni Yaabeesh jedhan sana isatti himan.
And, behold, Saul came after the herd out of the field; and Saul said, What aileth the people that they weep? And they told him the tidings of the men of Jabesh.
6 Yeroo Saaʼol dubbii kana dhagaʼettis Hafuurri Waaqaa humnaan isa irra buʼe; innis aaree bobaʼe.
And the Spirit of God came upon Saul when he heard those tidings, and his anger was kindled greatly.
7 Innis sangoota cimdii tokko fuudhee kukkutee foon isaanii harka ergamootaatti erguudhaan, “Sangoonni nama Saaʼolii fi Saamuʼeelin duukaa hin buune kamii iyyuu akkas taʼu” jedhee guutummaa Israaʼel keessa labse. Sodaachifni Waaqayyoos waan nama hunda qabateef namni hundinuu akkuma nama tokkootti baʼe.
And he took a yoke of oxen, and hewed them in pieces, and sent them throughout all the coasts of Israel by the hands of messengers, saying, Whosoever cometh not forth after Saul and after Samuel, so shall it be done unto his oxen. And the fear of the Lord fell on the people, and they came out with one consent.
8 Saaʼol iddoo Bezeq jedhamutti walitti isaan qabe; baayʼinni Israaʼelootaa kuma dhibba sadii, kan warra Yihuudaa immoo kuma soddoma ture.
And when he numbered them in Bezek, the children of Israel were three hundred thousand, and the men of Judah thirty thousand.
9 Isaanis ergamoota dhufan sanaan, “Namoota Yaabeesh Giliʼaadiin, ‘Bor yeroo aduun hoʼutti bilisa baatu’ jedhaatii itti himaa” jedhaniin. Yommuu ergamoonni sun dhaqanii waan kana isaanitti odeessanitti warri Yaabeesh akka malee gammadan.
And they said unto the messengers that came, Thus shall ye say unto the men of Jabesh-gilead, To morrow, by that time the sun be hot, ye shall have help. And the messengers came and shewed it to the men of Jabesh; and they were glad.
10 Isaanis namoota Amooniin, “Nu bor harka keenya isinitti kennanna; isin waan isinitti gaarii fakkaate hunda nu gochuu ni dandeessu” jedhan.
Therefore the men of Jabesh said, To morrow we will come out unto you, and ye shall do with us all that seemeth good unto you.
11 Guyyaa itti aanutti Saaʼol namoota isaa garee sadiitti qoode; gara barii halkaniittis dallaa Amoonotaa cabsanii seenuudhaan hamma lafti hoʼutti isaan qalan. Kanneen hafan immoo gargar faffacaʼan; isaan keessaas namni lama iyyuu wal biratti hin hafne.
And it was so on the morrow, that Saul put the people in three companies; and they came into the midst of the host in the morning watch, and slew the Ammonites until the heat of the day: and it came to pass, that they which remained were scattered, so that two of them were not left together.
12 Ergasiis namoonni Saamuʼeeliin, “Warri, ‘Saaʼol nurratti mootii taʼuu hin qabu’ jedhan eenyu faʼi? Namoota kanneen nuu fidi ni ajjeefnaatii” jedhan.
And the people said unto Samuel, Who is he that said, Shall Saul reign over us? bring the men, that we may put them to death.
13 Saaʼol garuu, “Guyyaan kun gaafa itti Waaqayyo Israaʼelin baraare waan taʼeef namni tokko iyyuu harʼa hin ajjeefamu” jedhe.
And Saul said, There shall not a man be put to death this day: for to day the Lord hath wrought salvation in Israel.
14 Saamuʼeel immoo namootaan, “Kottaa Gilgaal dhaqnee mootii taʼuu isaa achitti mirkaneessinaa” jedhe.
Then said Samuel to the people, Come, and let us go to Gilgal, and renew the kingdom there.
15 Kanaafuu namoonni hundinuu gara Gilgaal dhaqanii Saaʼol mootii taʼuu isaa fuula Waaqayyoo duratti mirkaneessan. Aarsaa nagaas fuula Waaqayyoo duratti dhiʼeessan; Saaʼolii fi sabni Israaʼel hundis guddaa gammadan.
And all the people went to Gilgal; and there they made Saul king before the Lord in Gilgal; and there they sacrificed sacrifices of peace offerings before the Lord; and there Saul and all the men of Israel rejoiced greatly.
