1 Saamuʼeel 2
1 Haannaanis akkana jettee kadhatte: “Garaan koo Waaqayyotti ni gammada; gaanfi koos Waaqayyoon ol kaafama. Afaan koos diinota koo irratti of jaja; ani fayyisuu keetti nan gammadaatii.
And Hannah, in prayer before the Lord, said, My heart is glad in the Lord, my horn is lifted up in the Lord: my mouth is open wide over my haters; because my joy is in your salvation.
2 “Qulqulluun akka Waaqayyoo tokko iyyuu hin jiru; si malees eenyu iyyuu hin jiru; kattaan akka Waaqa keenyaa tokko iyyuu hin jiru.
No other is holy as the Lord, for there is no other God but you: there is no Rock like our God.
3 “Of jajuudhaan hin dubbatinaa; yookaan dubbiin of tuulummaa akkasii afaan keessanii hin baʼin; Waaqayyo Waaqa beekaadhaatii; hojiiwwanis isaan madaalamu.
Say no more words of pride; let not uncontrolled sayings come out of your mouths: for the Lord is a God of knowledge, by him acts are judged.
4 “Iddaawwan namoota jajjaboo caccabaniiru; namoonni dadhaboon garuu humna hidhataniiru.
The bows of the men of war are broken, and the feeble are clothed with strength.
5 Warri quufanii turan buddeenatti of gurguraniiru; warri beelaʼanii turan garuu siʼachi hin beelaʼan. Isheen dhabduu turte ijoollee torba deesse; isheen ijoollee baayʼee qabdu immoo ni dhabde.
Those who were full are offering themselves as servants for bread; those who were in need are at rest; truly, she who had no children has become the mother of seven; and she who had a family is wasted with sorrow.
The Lord is the giver of death and life: sending men down to the underworld and lifting them up. (Sheol h7585)
7 Waaqayyo ni hiyyoomsa; ni sooromsas; ni salphisa; ni ulfeessas.
The Lord gives wealth and takes a man's goods from him: crushing men down and again lifting them up;
8 Inni hiyyeeyyii awwaara keessaa ni kaasa; rakkattootas tuulaa daaraa keessaa ol fuudha; inni ilmaan mootii wajjin isaan ni teessisa; barcuma ulfinaas isaan dhaalchisa. “Hundeewwan lafaa kan Waaqayyoo ti; inni hundeewwan sana irra addunyaa kaaʼeera.
Lifting the poor out of the dust, and him who is in need out of the lowest place, to give them their place among rulers, and for their heritage the seat of glory: for the pillars of the earth are the Lord's and he has made them the base of the world.
9 Inni miilla qulqulloota isaa ni eega; namoonni hamoon garuu dukkana keessatti calʼisu. “Namni jabina isaatiin hin moʼatu;
He will keep the feet of his holy ones, but the evil-doers will come to their end in the dark night, for by strength no man will overcome.
10 warri Waaqayyoon morman ni caccabsamu. Inni samiidhaa isaanitti qaqawweessaʼa. Waaqayyo daarii lafaatti ni murteessa. “Inni mootii isaatiif jabina ni kenna; gaanfa dibamaa isaa illee ol ni kaasa.”
Those who make war against the Lord will be broken; against them he will send his thunder from heaven: the Lord will be judge of the ends of the earth, he will give strength to his king, lifting up the horn of him on whom the holy oil has been put.
11 Ergasii Elqaanaan gara mana isaa Raamaatti gale; mucichi garuu Eelii lubicha jalatti fuula Waaqayyoo dura tajaajilaa ture.
Then Elkanah went to Ramah to his house. And the child became the servant of the Lord under the direction of Eli the priest.
12 Ilmaan Eelii namoota hamoo turan; Waaqayyonis hin sodaatan ture.
Now the sons of Eli were evil and good-for-nothing men, having no knowledge of the Lord.
13 Akka bartee luboonni saba wajjin qabaniitti yeroo namni kam iyyuu aarsaa dhiʼeessutti utuma foon affeelamaa jiruu tajaajilaan lubichaa hokkoo quba sadii qabu tokko harkatti qabatee dhufee
And the priests' way with the people was this: when any man made an offering, the priest's servant came while the flesh was being cooked, having in his hand a meat-hook with three teeth;
14 beddee yookaan huuroo yookaan okkotee yookaan xuwwee keessa galcha ture; lubichis waanuma qabduun sun ol baase ofii isaatii fudhata ture. Israaʼeloota gara Shiiloo dhufan hundas haaluma kanaan keessumsiisu turan.
This he put into the pot, and everything which came up on the hook the priest took for himself. This they did in Shiloh to all the Israelites who came there.
15 Garuu utuma coomni isaa hin gubamin dura tajaajilaan lubichaa dhufee nama aarsaa qalmaa dhiʼeessuun, “Waan lubichi foon dheedhii malee affeelamaa si harkaa hin fudhanneef waan isaaf waadamu naa kenni” jedha ture.
And more than this, before the fat was burned, the priest's servant would come and say to the man who was making the offering, Give me some of the flesh to be cooked for the priest; he has no taste for meat cooked in water, but would have you give it uncooked.
16 Yoo namichi sun, “Jalqaba coomni isaa haa gubamu; ergasii kan barbaadde fudhadhu” jedheenis, tajaajilaan sun deebisee, “Hin taʼuu ammuma naa kenni; yoo ati didde immoo ani humnaan nan fudhadha” isaan jedha ture.
And if the man said to him, First let the fat be burned, then take as much as you will; then the servant would say, No, you are to give it to me now, or I will take it by force.
17 Cubbuun dargaggootaa kun fuula Waaqayyoo duratti akka malee guddaa ture; isaan aarsaa Waaqayyoof dhiʼeeffamu ni tuffatu tureetii.
And the sin of these young men was very great before the Lord; for they gave no honour to the Lord's offerings.
18 Saamuʼeel garuu dirata quncee talbaa irraa hojjetame uffatee fuula Waaqayyoo dura ni tajaajila ture.
But Samuel did the work of the Lord's house, while he was a child, dressed in a linen ephod.
19 Haati isaa yommuu wagguma waggaan aarsaa waggaa dhiʼeessuuf dhirsa ishee wajjin ol baatutti wandaboo xinnoo ishee hojjettee ni geessitiif turte.
And his mother made him a little robe and took it to him every year when she came with her husband for the year's offering.
20 Eeliinis, “Dubartii kana irraa qooda ilma isheen Waaqayyoof kennite sanaa Waaqayyo ijoollee isheef haa kennuu” jedhee Elqaanaa fi niitii isaa eebbise. Isaanis deebiʼanii mana isaaniitti galan.
And every year Eli gave Elkanah and his wife a blessing, saying, May the Lord give you offspring by this woman in exchange for the child you have given to the Lord. And they went back to their house.
21 Waaqayyos Haannaa ni yaadate; isheenis ulfooftee ilmaan sadii fi intallan lama ni deesse. Saamuʼeel mucichis fuula Waaqayyoo duratti ni guddate.
And the Lord had mercy on Hannah and she gave birth to three sons and two daughters. And the young Samuel became older before the Lord.
22 Yeroo kanatti Eeliin akka malee dulloomee ture; innis waan ilmaan isaa saba Israaʼel hundatti hojjetan hunda akkasumas akka isaan dubartoota balbala dunkaana wal gaʼii irra tajaajilan wajjin ciisan dhagaʼe.
Now Eli was very old; and he had news from time to time of what his sons were doing to all Israel.
23 Kanaafuu inni akkana isaaniin jedhe; “Hammina isin gootan ani saba hundumaa irraa dhagaʼeera; isin maaliif waan akkasii gootu?
And he said to them, Why are you doing such things? for from all this people I get accounts of your evil ways.
24 Lakkisaa yaa ilmaan koo; oduun saba Waaqayyoo keessa facaʼee ani dhagaʼu kun gaarii miti.
No, my sons, the account which is given me, which the Lord's people are sending about, is not good.
25 Namni tokko yoo nama biraatti cubbuu hojjete Waaqayyotu gidduu galaaf; garuu yoo namni tokko Waaqayyotti cubbuu hojjete eenyutu gidduu galaaf?” Taʼus sababii Waaqayyo isaan ajjeesuu barbaadeef ilmaan Eelii gorsa abbaa isaanii hin dhageenye.
If one man does wrong to another, God will be his judge: but if a man's sin is against the Lord, who will take up his cause? But they gave no attention to the voice of their father, for it was the Lord's purpose to send destruction on them.
26 Saamuʼeel mucichis guddachaa deemee fuula Waaqayyootii fi fuula namaa duratti surraa argate.
And the young Samuel, becoming older, had the approval of the Lord and of men.
27 Namni Waaqaa tokko gara Eelii dhufee akkana jedheen; “Waaqayyo akkana jedha: ‘Yeroo manni abbaa keetii biyya Gibxi keessa garbummaa Faraʼoon jala turetti ani isatti of mulʼifnee?
And a man of God came to Eli and said to him, The Lord says, Did I let myself be seen by your father's people when they were in Egypt, servants in Pharaoh's house?
28 Akka inni luba koo taʼuuf, akka inni gara iddoo aarsaa kootti ol baʼuuf, akka inni ixaana aarsuu fi akka fuula koo duratti dirata uffatuuf, ani gosoota Israaʼel hunda keessa abbaa kee filadheera; akkasumas aarsaa Israaʼeloonni ibiddaan dhiʼeessan hunda maatii abbaa keetiitiif kenneera.
Did I take him out of all the tribes of Israel to be my priest and to go up to my altar to make the smoke of the offerings go up and to take up the ephod? Did I give to your father's family all the offerings made by fire by the children of Israel?
29 Egaa isin maaliif qalmaa fi aarsaa ani ajaje sana tuffatu? Ati maaliif aarsaa saba koo Israaʼeliin dhiʼeeffamu keessaa filatamaa isaa nyaatanii of gabbisuudhaan ana caalaatti ijoollee keetiif ulfina kennita?’
Why then are you looking with envy on my offerings of meat and of meal which were ordered by my word, honouring your sons before me, and making yourselves fat with all the best of the offerings of Israel, my people?
30 “Kanaafuu Waaqayyo Waaqni Israaʼel akkana jedha: ‘Manni keetii fi manni abbaa keetii bara baraan fuula koo dura akka tajaajilaniif ani waadaa galee ture.’ Amma garuu Waaqayyo akkana jedha: ‘Kun ana irraa haa fagaatu! Warra ulfina naa kennan nan ulfeessa; warri na tuffatan immoo ni tuffatamu.
For this reason the Lord God of Israel has said, Truly I did say that your family and your father's people would have their place before me for ever: but now the Lord says, Let it not be so; I will give honour to those by whom I am honoured, and those who have no respect for me will be of small value in my eyes.
31 Akka maatii kee keessatti jaarsi hin argamneef, yeroon ani itti jabina keetii fi jabina maatii abbaa keetii cabsu tokko ni dhufa;
See, the days are coming when your arm and the arm of your father's people will be cut off;
32 iddoo jireenya koo keessattis rakkina argita. Israaʼeliif wanni gaariin yoo godhamu iyyuu, toora maatii keetii keessatti jaarsi hin argamu.
And never again will there be an old man in your family.
33 Namni ani iddoo aarsaa koo biraa hin balleessin hundi ija kee imimmaaniin jaamsuu fi garaa kee gaddisiisuuf hambifama; ijoolleen kee hundinuus umurii ijoollummaatti duʼu.
But one man of your family will not be cut off by my hand, and his eyes will be made dark, and grief will be in his heart: and all the offspring of your family will come to their end by the sword of men.
34 “‘Wanni ilmaan kee lamaan Hofniinii fi Fiinehaasitti dhufu siif mallattoo taʼa; isaan lachanuu guyyuma tokkotti dhumu.
And this will be the sign to you, which will come on Hophni and Phinehas, your sons; death will overtake them on the same day.
35 Ani luba amanamaa kan akka waan garaa koo keessa jiruu fi akka waan yaada koo keessa jiruutti hojjetu tokko ofii kootiif nan kaafadha; ani isaaf mana bara baraa nan ijaara; innis fuula dibamaa kootii dura bara baraan tajaajila.
And I will make a true priest for myself, one who will do what is in my heart and in my mind: and I will make for him a family which will not come to an end; and his place will be before my holy one for ever.
36 Namni sanyii kee keessaa hafe hundis, “Akka ani muraa buddeena tokkoo illee nyaadhuuf hojii lubummaa keessaa tokko irratti na ramadi” jedhe dhufee meetii tokkoo fi buddeena tokkoof fuula isaa duratti kufee sagadaaf.’”
Then it will be that the rest of your family, anyone who has not been cut off, will go down on his knees to him for a bit of silver or a bit of bread, and say, Be pleased to put me into one of the priest's places so that I may have a little food.
