1 Saamuʼeel 12

1 Saamuʼeel Israaʼeloota hundaan akkana jedhe; “Kunoo ani waan isin naan jettan hunda dhagaʼeera; mootii isin irratti moosiseera.

And he said Samuel to all Israel here! I have listened to voice your to all that you have said to me and I have made king over you a king.

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.

And now here! the king - [is] walking about before you and I I am old and I am gray haired and sons my here they [are] with you and I I have walked about before you since youth my until the day this.

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.”

Here [am] I testify against me before Yahweh and before anointed his [the] ox of - whom? have I taken and [the] donkey of whom? have I taken and whom? have I oppressed whom? have I crushed and from [the] hand of whom? have I taken a ransom so I may hide eyes my by it so I may restore [it] to you.

4 Isaanis deebisanii, “Ati nu hin gowwoomsine yookaan nu hin cunqursine. Nama tokko harkaa iyyuu waan tokko illee hin fudhanne” jedhan.

And they said not you have oppressed us and not you have crushed us and not you have taken from [the] hand of anyone anything.

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 said to them [is] a witness Yahweh on you and [is] a witness anointed his the day this that not you have found in hand my anything and someone said [he is] a witness.

6 Ergasiis Saamuʼeel namootaan akkana jedhe; “Kan Musee fi Aroonin dibee abbootii keessan biyya Gibxii baase Waaqayyoo dha.

And he said Samuel to the people Yahweh who he appointed Moses and Aaron and who he brought up ancestors your from [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.

And therefore present yourselves so let me enter into judgment with you before Yahweh all [the] righteousness of Yahweh which he did with you and with ancestors your.

8 “Yeroo Yaaqoob biyya Gibxi seenetti abbootiin keessan Waaqayyootti iyyatan; Waaqayyos Musee fi Aroon warra abbootii keessan biyya Gibxii baasanii iddoo kana qubachiisan erge.

Just when he went Jacob Egypt and they cried out ancestors your to Yahweh and he sent Yahweh Moses and Aaron and they brought out ancestors your from Egypt and they caused to dwell them in the place this.

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 they forgot Yahweh God their and he sold them in [the] hand of Sisera [the] commander of [the] army of Hazor and in [the] hand of [the] Philistines and in [the] hand 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 out to Yahweh (and they said *Q(K)*) we have sinned for we have forsaken Yahweh and we have served the Baals and the Ashtaroth and now deliver us from [the] hand of enemies our so we may serve you.

11 Waaqayyo Yerub-Baʼaalin, Bedaanin, Yiftaa fi Saamuʼeelin ergee akka isin nagaan jiraattaniif karaa hundaan harka diinota keessaniitii isin baase.

And he sent Yahweh Jerub-Baal and Bedan and Jephthah and Samuel and he delivered you from [the] hand of enemies your from round about and you dwelt security.

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.

And you saw that Nahash [the] king of [the] people of Ammon [was] coming on you and you said to me In-deed a king he will reign over us and Yahweh God your [was] king your.

13 Ammas mootiin isin gaafattanii fi filattan kunoo ti! Waaqayyo mootii isin irratti moosiseera.

And now here! the king whom you have chosen whom you asked for and here! he has set Yahweh over you a king.

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 you will fear Yahweh and you will serve him and you will listen to voice his and not you will rebel against [the] mouth of Yahweh and you will be both you as well as the king who he has become king over you after Yahweh God your.

15 Yoo isin Waaqayyoof ajajamuu baattanii ajaja isaatti finciltan akkuma abbootii keessanitti kaʼe sana harki isaa isinittis ni kaʼa.

And if not you will listen to [the] voice of Yahweh and you will rebel against [the] mouth of Yahweh and it will be [the] hand of Yahweh on you and on ancestors your.

16 “Egaa jabaadhaa dhaabadhaatii waan guddaa Waaqayyo fuula keessan duratti godhu kana ilaalaa!

Also now stand and see the thing great this which Yahweh [is] about to do to eyes your.

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.”

¿ Not [is] [the] harvest of wheat this day I will call out to Yahweh so he may give thunder claps and rain and know and see that evil your [is] great which you have done in [the] eyes of Yahweh by asking for yourselves a king.

18 Kana irratti Saamuʼeel Waaqayyoon waammate; Waaqayyos yeruma sana qaqawweessaa fi bokkaa erge. Namoonni hundinuus Waaqayyoo fi Saamuʼeelin akka malee sodaatan.

And he called out Samuel to Yahweh and he gave Yahweh thunder claps and rain on the day that and it feared all the people exceedingly Yahweh and Samuel.

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 they said all the people to Samuel pray for servants your to Yahweh God your and may not we die for we have added to all sins our an evil thing by asking for ourselves a king.

20 Saamuʼeelis deebisee akkana jedhe; “Hin sodaatinaa; isin hammina kana hunda raawwattaniirtu; taʼus garaa guutuudhaan Waaqayyoon tajaajilaa malee Waaqayyo irraa hin deebiʼinaa.

And he said Samuel to the people may not you be afraid you you have done all the evil this nevertheless may not you turn aside from after Yahweh and you will serve Yahweh with all heart your.

21 Garagaltanii wantoota faayidaa hin qabne kanneen isin fayyaduu yookaan isin oolchuu hin dandeenye duukaa hin buʼinaa; isaan faayidaa hin qabaniitii.

And not you must turn aside for - after emptiness which not they will benefit and not they will rescue for [are] emptiness they.

22 Waaqayyo sababii maqaa isaa guddaa sanaatiif jedhee saba isaa hin gatu; Waaqayyo kan ofii isaa isin godhachuu jaallateeraatii.

For not he will abandon Yahweh people his for sake of name his great for he was determined Yahweh to make you for himself into a people.

23 Akka yaada kootti ani isinii kadhachuu dhiisee Waaqayyotti yakka hojjechuun narraa haa fagaatu. Ani karaa gaarii fi qajeelaa taʼe isin nan barsiisa.

Also I far be it to me from sinning to Yahweh from ceasing to pray for you and I will teach you [the] way of the good and the upright.

24 Garuu Waaqayyoon sodaadhaa; garaa keessan guutuunis amanamuudhaan isaaf hojjedhaa; waan guddaa inni isinii godhes yaadadhaa.

Only - fear Yahweh and you will serve him in faithfulness with all heart your for consider this: he has done great things with you.

25 Yoo hammina hojjechuu itti fuftan garuu, isinis mootiin keessanis ni baddu.”

And if still you will do evil both you as well as king your you will be swept away.
