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 prayeth, and saith: 'My heart hath exulted in Jehovah, My horn hath been high in Jehovah, My mouth hath been large over mine enemies, For I have rejoiced 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 like Jehovah, For there is none save Thee, And 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.
Ye multiply not — ye speak haughtily — The old saying goeth out from your mouth, For a God of knowledge [is] Jehovah, And by Him actions are weighed.
4 “Iddaawwan namoota jajjaboo caccabaniiru; namoonni dadhaboon garuu humna hidhataniiru.
Bows of the mighty are broken, And the stumbling have girded on 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.
The satiated for bread hired themselves, And the hungry have ceased. While the barren hath borne seven, And she abounding with sons hath languished.
Jehovah putteth to death, and keepeth alive, He bringeth down to Sheol, and bringeth up. (Sheol h7585)
7 Waaqayyo ni hiyyoomsa; ni sooromsas; ni salphisa; ni ulfeessas.
Jehovah dispossesseth, and He maketh rich, He maketh low, yea, He maketh high.
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 from the dust the poor, From a dunghill He lifteth up the needy, To cause [them] to sit with nobles, Yea, a throne of honour He doth cause them to inherit, For to Jehovah [are] the fixtures of earth, And He setteth on them the habitable world.
9 Inni miilla qulqulloota isaa ni eega; namoonni hamoon garuu dukkana keessatti calʼisu. “Namni jabina isaatiin hin moʼatu;
The feet of His saints He keepeth, And the wicked in darkness are silent, For not by power doth man become mighty.
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.”
Jehovah — broken down are His adversaries, Against them in the heavens He thundereth: Jehovah judgeth the ends of earth, And giveth strength to His king, And exalteth 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 goeth to Ramath, unto his house, and the youth hath been serving Jehovah, [in] the presence of Eli the priest;
12 Ilmaan Eelii namoota hamoo turan; Waaqayyonis hin sodaatan ture.
and the sons of Eli [are] sons of worthlessness, they have not known Jehovah.
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 [is]: any man sacrificing a sacrifice — then hath the servant of the priest come in when the flesh is boiling, and the hook of three teeth in his hand,
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 hath struck [it] into the pan, or kettle, or caldron, or pot; all that the hook bringeth up doth the priest take for himself; thus they do to all Israel who are coming in, there, 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.
Also before they make perfume with the fat — then hath the priest's servant come in, and said to the man who is sacrificing, 'Give flesh to roast for the priest, and he doth not take of thee flesh boiled, 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 the man saith unto him, 'Let them surely make a perfume (as to-day) with the fat, then take to thee as thy soul desireth;' and he hath said to him, 'Surely now thou dost give; and if not — I have taken by strength.'
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 is very great [in] the presence of Jehovah, for the men have despised the offering of Jehovah.
18 Saamuʼeel garuu dirata quncee talbaa irraa hojjetame uffatee fuula Waaqayyoo dura ni tajaajila ture.
And Samuel is ministering [in] the presence of Jehovah, a youth girt [with] an ephod of linen;
19 Haati isaa yommuu wagguma waggaan aarsaa waggaa dhiʼeessuuf dhirsa ishee wajjin ol baatutti wandaboo xinnoo ishee hojjettee ni geessitiif turte.
and a small upper coat doth his mother make to him, and she hath brought it up to him from time to time, in her coming up with her husband to sacrifice the sacrifice of the time.
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 blessed Elkanah, and his wife, and said, 'Jehovah doth appoint for thee seed of this woman, for the petition which she asked for Jehovah;' and they have gone to their place.
21 Waaqayyos Haannaa ni yaadate; isheenis ulfooftee ilmaan sadii fi intallan lama ni deesse. Saamuʼeel mucichis fuula Waaqayyoo duratti ni guddate.
When Jehovah hath looked after Hannah, then she conceiveth and beareth three sons and two daughters; and the youth Samuel groweth up with Jehovah.
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.
And Eli [is] very old, and hath heard all that his sons do to all Israel, and how that they lie with the women who are assembling [at] the opening 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 saith to them, 'Why do ye things like these? for I am hearing of your evil words from all the people — these!
24 Lakkisaa yaa ilmaan koo; oduun saba Waaqayyoo keessa facaʼee ani dhagaʼu kun gaarii miti.
Nay, my sons; for the report which I am hearing is not good causing the people of Jehovah to transgress. —
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 a man sin against a man, then hath God judged him; but if against Jehovah a man sin, who doth pray for him?' and they hearken not to the voice of their father, though Jehovah hath delighted to put them to death.
26 Saamuʼeel mucichis guddachaa deemee fuula Waaqayyootii fi fuula namaa duratti surraa argate.
And the youth Samuel is going on and growing up, and [is] good both with Jehovah, 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 cometh a man of God unto Eli, and saith unto him, 'Thus said Jehovah, Was I really revealed unto the house of thy father in their being in Egypt, before 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.
even to choose him out of all the tribes of Israel to Me for a priest, to go up on Mine altar, to make a perfume, to bear an ephod before Me, and I give to the house of thy father all the fire-offerings of the sons 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 do ye kick at My sacrifice, and at Mine offering which I commanded [in] My habitation, and dost honour thy sons above Me, to make yourselves fat from the first part of every offering of Israel, of 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 affirmation of Jehovah, God of Israel — I certainly said, Thy house and the house of thy father, do walk up and down before Me to the age; and now — the affirmation of Jehovah — Far be it from Me! for he who is honouring Me, I honour, and those despising Me, are lightly esteemed.
31 Akka maatii kee keessatti jaarsi hin argamneef, yeroon ani itti jabina keetii fi jabina maatii abbaa keetii cabsu tokko ni dhufa;
'Lo, days [are] coming, and I have cut off thine arm, and the arm of the house of thy father, that an old man is not 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 hast beheld an adversary [in My] habitation, in all that He doth good with Israel, and there is not an old man in thy house all the days.
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.
'And the man I cut not off of thine from Mine altar, [is] to consume thine eyes, and to grieve thy soul; and all the increase of thy house do die men;
34 “‘Wanni ilmaan kee lamaan Hofniinii fi Fiinehaasitti dhufu siif mallattoo taʼa; isaan lachanuu guyyuma tokkotti dhumu.
and this [is] to thee the sign that cometh unto thy two sons, unto Hophni and Phinehas — in one day they 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 have raised up for Me a stedfast priest; as in My heart and in My soul he doth do; and I have built for him a stedfast house, and he hath walked up and down before Mine anointed all the days;
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 hath been, every one who is left in thy house doth come in to bow himself to him, for a wage of silver, and a cake of bread, and hath said, Admit me, I pray thee, unto one of the priest's offices, to eat a morsel of bread.'
