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 prayed, and said: my heart exulteth in the LORD, my horn is exalted in the LORD; my mouth is enlarged over mine enemies; because I rejoice in Thy salvation.
2 “Qulqulluun akka Waaqayyoo tokko iyyuu hin jiru; si malees eenyu iyyuu hin jiru; kattaan akka Waaqa keenyaa tokko iyyuu hin jiru.
There is none holy as the LORD, for there is none beside Thee; neither is there any rock like our God.
3 “Of jajuudhaan hin dubbatinaa; yookaan dubbiin of tuulummaa akkasii afaan keessanii hin baʼin; Waaqayyo Waaqa beekaadhaatii; hojiiwwanis isaan madaalamu.
Multiply not exceeding proud talk; let not arrogancy come out of your mouth; for the LORD is a God of knowledge, and by Him actions are weighed.
4 “Iddaawwan namoota jajjaboo caccabaniiru; namoonni dadhaboon garuu humna hidhataniiru.
The bows of the mighty men are broken, and they that stumbled are girded 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.
They that were full have hired out themselves for bread; and they that were hungry have ceased; while the barren hath borne seven, she that had many children hath languished.
The LORD killeth, and maketh alive; He bringeth down to the grave, and bringeth up. (Sheol h7585)
7 Waaqayyo ni hiyyoomsa; ni sooromsas; ni salphisa; ni ulfeessas.
The LORD maketh poor, and maketh rich; He bringeth low, He also lifteth 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.
He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, He lifteth up the needy from the dung-hill, to make them sit with princes, and inherit the throne of glory; for the pillars of the earth are the LORD'S, and He hath set the world upon them.
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 wicked shall be put to silence in darkness; for not by strength shall man prevail.
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.”
They that strive with the LORD shall be broken to pieces; against them will He thunder in heaven; the LORD will judge the ends of the earth; and He will give strength unto His king, and exalt the horn of His anointed.
11 Ergasii Elqaanaan gara mana isaa Raamaatti gale; mucichi garuu Eelii lubicha jalatti fuula Waaqayyoo dura tajaajilaa ture.
And Elkanah went to Ramah to his house. And the child did minister unto the LORD before Eli the priest.
12 Ilmaan Eelii namoota hamoo turan; Waaqayyonis hin sodaatan ture.
Now the sons of Eli were base men; they knew not 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 custom of the priests with the people was, that, when any man offered sacrifice, the priest's servant came, while the flesh was in seething, with a flesh-hook of three teeth in his band;
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.
and he struck it into the pan, or kettle, or caldron, or pot; all that the flesh-hook brought up the priest took therewith. So they did unto all the Israelites that came thither in Shiloh.
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.
Yea, before the fat was made to smoke, the priest's servant came, and said to the man that sacrificed: 'Give flesh to roast for the priest; for he will not have sodden flesh of thee, but raw.'
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 unto him: 'Let the fat be made to smoke first of all, and then take as much as thy soul desireth'; then he would say: 'Nay, but thou shalt give it me now; and if not, 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 the young men was very great before the LORD; for the men dealt contemptuously with the offering of the LORD.
18 Saamuʼeel garuu dirata quncee talbaa irraa hojjetame uffatee fuula Waaqayyoo dura ni tajaajila ture.
But Samuel ministered before the LORD, being a child, girded with a linen ephod.
19 Haati isaa yommuu wagguma waggaan aarsaa waggaa dhiʼeessuuf dhirsa ishee wajjin ol baatutti wandaboo xinnoo ishee hojjettee ni geessitiif turte.
Moreover his mother made him a little robe, and brought it to him from year to year, when she came up with her husband to offer the yearly sacrifice.
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 Eli would bless Elkanah and his wife, and say: 'The LORD give thee seed of this woman for the loan which was lent to the LORD.' And they would go unto their own home.
21 Waaqayyos Haannaa ni yaadate; isheenis ulfooftee ilmaan sadii fi intallan lama ni deesse. Saamuʼeel mucichis fuula Waaqayyoo duratti ni guddate.
So the LORD remembered Hannah, and she conceived, and bore three sons and two daughters. And the child Samuel grew 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 heard all that his sons did unto all Israel, and how that they lay with the women that did service at the door of the tent of meeting.
23 Kanaafuu inni akkana isaaniin jedhe; “Hammina isin gootan ani saba hundumaa irraa dhagaʼeera; isin maaliif waan akkasii gootu?
And he said unto them: 'Why do ye such things? for I hear evil reports concerning you from all this people.
24 Lakkisaa yaa ilmaan koo; oduun saba Waaqayyoo keessa facaʼee ani dhagaʼu kun gaarii miti.
Nay, my sons; for it is no good report which I hear the LORD'S people do spread abroad.
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 sin against another, God shall judge him; but if a man sin against the LORD, who shall entreat for him?' But they hearkened not unto the voice of their father, because the LORD would slay them.
26 Saamuʼeel mucichis guddachaa deemee fuula Waaqayyootii fi fuula namaa duratti surraa argate.
And the child Samuel grew on, and increased in favour both with the LORD, and also with 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 there came a man of God unto Eli, and said unto him: 'Thus saith the LORD: Did I reveal Myself unto the house of thy father, when they were in Egypt in bondage to 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.
And did I choose him out of all the tribes of Israel to be My priest, to go up unto Mine altar, to burn incense, to wear an ephod before Me? and did I give unto the house of thy father all the offerings of the children of Israel made by fire?
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?’
Wherefore kick ye at My sacrifice and at Mine offering, which I have commanded in My habitation; and honourest thy sons above Me, to make yourselves fat with the chiefest of all 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.
Therefore the LORD, the God of Israel, saith: I said indeed that thy house, and the house of thy father, should walk before Me for ever; but now the LORD saith: Be it far from Me: for them that honour Me I will honour, and they that despise Me shall be lightly esteemed.
31 Akka maatii kee keessatti jaarsi hin argamneef, yeroon ani itti jabina keetii fi jabina maatii abbaa keetii cabsu tokko ni dhufa;
Behold, the days come, that I will cut off thine arm, and the arm of thy father's house, that there shall not be an old man in thy house.
32 iddoo jireenya koo keessattis rakkina argita. Israaʼeliif wanni gaariin yoo godhamu iyyuu, toora maatii keetii keessatti jaarsi hin argamu.
And thou shalt behold a rival in My habitation, in all the good which shall be done to Israel; and there shall not be an old man in thy house for ever.
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.
Yet will I not cut off every man of thine from Mine altar, to make thine eyes to fail, and thy heart to languish; and all the increase of thy house shall die young men.
34 “‘Wanni ilmaan kee lamaan Hofniinii fi Fiinehaasitti dhufu siif mallattoo taʼa; isaan lachanuu guyyuma tokkotti dhumu.
And this shall be the sign unto thee, that which shall come upon thy two sons, on Hophni and Phinehas: in one day they shall die both of them.
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 raise Me up a faithful priest, that shall do according to that which is in My heart and in My mind; and I will build him a sure house; and he shall walk before Mine anointed 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.’”
And it shall come to pass, that every one that is left in thy house shall come and bow down to him for a piece of silver and a loaf of bread, and shall say: Put me, I pray thee, into one of the priests' offices, that I may eat a morsel of bread.'
