1 Saamuʼeel 12
1 Saamuʼeel Israaʼeloota hundaan akkana jedhe; “Kunoo ani waan isin naan jettan hunda dhagaʼeera; mootii isin irratti moosiseera.
Samuel then said vnto all Israel, Behold, I haue hearkened vnto your voyce in all that yee sayde vnto mee, and haue appoynted a King ouer you.
2 Nama mootii taʼee isin hoogganus argattaniirtu. Ani dulloomee arrii baaseera; ilmaan koo kunoo isin wajjin jiru. Ani ijoollummaa kootii jalqabee hamma harʼaatti isin hoogganeera.
Now therefore behold, your King walketh before you, and I am old and graie headed, and beholde, my sonnes are with you: and I haue walked before you from my childehood vnto this day.
3 Ani asan jira; isinis fuula Waaqayyootii fi fuula mooticha inni dibee duratti dhugaa natti baʼaa. Ani sangaa eenyuun fudhadhe? Ani harree eenyuun fudhadhe? Ani eenyun gowwoomse? Ani eenyun cunqurse? Ittiin ija koo jaamsuuf ani eenyu harkaan mattaʼaa fudhadhe? Ani yoon fudhadhee jiraadhe isiniif nan deebisa.”
Beholde, here I am: beare recorde of me before the Lord and before his Anointed. Whose oxe haue I taken? or whose asse haue I taken? or whome haue I done wrong to? or whome haue I hurt? or of whose hande haue I receiued any bribe, to blinde mine eyes therewith, and I will restore it you?
4 Isaanis deebisanii, “Ati nu hin gowwoomsine yookaan nu hin cunqursine. Nama tokko harkaa iyyuu waan tokko illee hin fudhanne” jedhan.
Then they sayde, Thou hast done vs no wrong, nor hast hurt vs, neither hast thou taken ought of any mans hand.
5 Saamuʼeel immoo, “Akka isin waan tokko illee harka kootti hin argatin Waaqayyo isinitti dhugaa baʼa; dibamaan isaas harʼa dhugaa baʼa” isaaniin jedhe. Isaanis, “Inni dhuga baʼaa dha” jedhan.
And he saide vnto them, The Lord is witnesse against you, and his Anointed is witnesse this day, that yee haue founde nought in mine handes. And they answered, He is witnesse.
6 Ergasiis Saamuʼeel namootaan akkana jedhe; “Kan Musee fi Aroonin dibee abbootii keessan biyya Gibxii baase Waaqayyoo dha.
Then Samuel sayde vnto the people, It is the Lord that made Moses and Aaron, and that brought your fathers out of the land of Egypt.
7 Egaa waaʼee hojii qajeelaa kan Waaqayyo isinii fi abbootii keessaniif hojjete hunda akka ani fuula Waaqayyoo duratti isinitti falmuuf as dhaabadhaa.
Nowe therefore stand still, that I may reason with you before the Lord according to all the righteousnesse of the Lord, which he shewed to you and to your fathers.
8 “Yeroo Yaaqoob biyya Gibxi seenetti abbootiin keessan Waaqayyootti iyyatan; Waaqayyos Musee fi Aroon warra abbootii keessan biyya Gibxii baasanii iddoo kana qubachiisan erge.
After that Iaakob was come into Egypt, and your fathers cried vnto the Lord, then the Lord sent Moses and Aaron which brought your fathers out of Egypt, and made them dwell in this place.
9 “Isaan garuu Waaqayyo Waaqa isaanii irraanfatan; kanaaf inni dabarsee harka Siisaaraa ajajaa waraana Haazooriitti, Filisxeemotaa fi mootii Moʼaabitti isaan gurgure; jarris waraana itti banan.
And when they forgate the Lord their God, he solde them into the hand of Sisera captaine of the hoste of Hazor, and into the hand of the Philistims, and into the hande of the king of Moab, and they fought against them.
10 Isaanis Waaqayyotti iyyatanii, ‘Nu cubbuu hojjenneerra; Waaqayyoon dhiifnee Baʼaalii fi Ashtooretin tajaajilleerra. Amma garuu harka diinota keenyaatii nu baasi; nus si tajaajilla’ jedhan.
And they cried vnto the Lord, and saide, We haue sinned, because we haue forsaken the Lord, and haue serued Baalim and Ashtaroth. Nowe therefore deliuer vs out of the handes of our enemies, and we will serue thee.
11 Waaqayyo Yerub-Baʼaalin, Bedaanin, Yiftaa fi Saamuʼeelin ergee akka isin nagaan jiraattaniif karaa hundaan harka diinota keessaniitii isin baase.
Therefore the Lord sent Ierubbaal and Bedan and Iphtaph, and Samuel, and deliuered you out of the handes of your enemies on euery side, and yee dwelled safe.
12 “Yommuu akka Naahaash mootiin Amoonotaa isinitti dhufe argitanitti garuu, Waaqayyo Waaqni keessan mootii keessan taʼu iyyuu isin, ‘Lakki; nu mootii nu bulchu barbaannaa’ jettan.
Notwithstanding when you sawe, that Nahash the King of the children of Ammon came against you, ye sayde vnto me, No, but a King shall reigne ouer vs: when yet the Lord your God was your King.
13 Ammas mootiin isin gaafattanii fi filattan kunoo ti! Waaqayyo mootii isin irratti moosiseera.
Nowe therefore beholde the King whome yee haue chosen, and whome yee haue desired: loe therefore, the Lord hath set a King ouer you.
14 Yoo isin Waaqayyoon sodaattan, yoo isa tajaajiltan, yoo isaaf ajajamtanii fi yoo ajaja isaatti finciluu baattan, yoo hundi keessanii fi mootiin isin irratti moosifame sun Waaqayyo Waaqa keessan faana buutan gaarii dha!
If ye wil feare the Lord and serue him, and heare his voyce, and not disobey the worde of the Lord, both yee, and the King that reigneth ouer you, shall follow the Lord your God.
15 Yoo isin Waaqayyoof ajajamuu baattanii ajaja isaatti finciltan akkuma abbootii keessanitti kaʼe sana harki isaa isinittis ni kaʼa.
But if yee will not obey the voyce of the Lord, but disobey the Lordes mouth, then shall the hand of the Lord be vpon you, and on your fathers.
16 “Egaa jabaadhaa dhaabadhaatii waan guddaa Waaqayyo fuula keessan duratti godhu kana ilaalaa!
Nowe also stande and see this great thing which the Lord will doe before your eyes.
17 Amma yeroo itti qamadiin haamamuu mitii? Ani akka inni qaqawweessaa fi bokkaa erguuf Waaqayyoon nan kadhadha. Isin yeroo mootii isin bulchu gaafattanitti akka waan hamaa fuula Waaqayyoo duratti hojjettan ni hubattu.”
Is it not nowe wheat haruest? I wil call vnto the Lord, and he shall send thunder and raine, that yee may perceiue and see, howe that your wickednesse is great, which ye haue done in the sight of the Lord in asking you a King.
18 Kana irratti Saamuʼeel Waaqayyoon waammate; Waaqayyos yeruma sana qaqawweessaa fi bokkaa erge. Namoonni hundinuus Waaqayyoo fi Saamuʼeelin akka malee sodaatan.
Then Samuel called vnto the Lord, and the Lord sent thunder and raine the same day: and all the people feared the Lord and Samuel exceedingly.
19 Namoonni hundinuus Saamuʼeeliin, “Akka nu tajaajiltoonni kee hin dhumneef Waaqayyoon Waaqa kee nuuf kadhadhu; nu cubbuu keenya hunda irratti daballee mootiin nurratti akka moʼu gaafachuudhaan daba hojjenneerraatii” jedhan.
And all the people said vnto Samuel, Pray for thy seruaunts vnto the Lord thy God, that we die not: for we haue sinned in asking vs a King, beside all our other sinnes.
20 Saamuʼeelis deebisee akkana jedhe; “Hin sodaatinaa; isin hammina kana hunda raawwattaniirtu; taʼus garaa guutuudhaan Waaqayyoon tajaajilaa malee Waaqayyo irraa hin deebiʼinaa.
And Samuel said vnto the people, Feare not. (ye haue indeede done all this wickednesse, yet depart not from following the Lord, but serue the Lord with all your heart,
21 Garagaltanii wantoota faayidaa hin qabne kanneen isin fayyaduu yookaan isin oolchuu hin dandeenye duukaa hin buʼinaa; isaan faayidaa hin qabaniitii.
Neither turne yee backe: for that shoulde be after vaine things which cannot profite you, nor deliuer you, for they are but vanitie)
22 Waaqayyo sababii maqaa isaa guddaa sanaatiif jedhee saba isaa hin gatu; Waaqayyo kan ofii isaa isin godhachuu jaallateeraatii.
For the Lord will not forsake his people for his great Names sake: because it hath pleased the Lord to make you his people.
23 Akka yaada kootti ani isinii kadhachuu dhiisee Waaqayyotti yakka hojjechuun narraa haa fagaatu. Ani karaa gaarii fi qajeelaa taʼe isin nan barsiisa.
Moreouer God forbid, that I should sinne against the Lord, and cease praying for you, but I will shewe you the good and right way.
24 Garuu Waaqayyoon sodaadhaa; garaa keessan guutuunis amanamuudhaan isaaf hojjedhaa; waan guddaa inni isinii godhes yaadadhaa.
Therefore feare you the Lord, and serue him in the trueth with all your hearts, and consider howe great things he hath done for you.
25 Yoo hammina hojjechuu itti fuftan garuu, isinis mootiin keessanis ni baddu.”
But if ye doe wickedly, ye shall perish, both yee, and your King.
