1 Saamuʼeel 24
1 Erga Saaʼol Filisxeemota ariʼuu irraa deebiʼee booddee, “Daawit Gammoojjii Een Gaad keessa jira” jedhanii isatti himan.
When Saul was turned from ye Philistims, they told him, saying, Behold, Dauid is in the wildernes of En-gedi.
2 Kana irratti Saaʼol guutummaa Israaʼel keessaa namoota filatamoo kuma sadii fudhatee Daawitii fi namoota isaa barbaacha gara Kattaa Reʼoota diidaa dhaqe.
Then Saul tooke three thousande chosen men out of all Israel, and went to seeke Dauid and his men vpon the rocks among the wilde goates.
3 Saaʼolis gara dallaa hoolotaa kan karaa cinaa sanaa dhufe; holqa tokkotu achi ture; Saaʼolis gad taaʼuuf achi seene. Daawitii fi namoonni isaas holquma sana keessa achi fagaatanii turan.
And hee came to the sheepecoates by the way where there was a caue, and Saul went in to do his easement: and Dauid and his men sate in the inward parts of the caue.
4 Namoonni Daawitis, “Guyyaan Waaqayyo, ‘Ani akka ati akkuma feete isa gootuuf diina kee dabarsee harka keetti nan kenna’ jedhee waaʼee isaa sitti hime sun harʼa” isaan jedhan. Daawitis lafa irra looʼee utuu hin beekamin fiixee wayyaa Saaʼol irraa kute.
And the men of Dauid said vnto him, See, the day is come, whereof the Lord sayde vnto thee, Beholde, I will deliuer thine enemie into thine hande, and thou shalt doe to him as it shall seeme good to thee. Then Dauid arose and cut off the lap of Sauls garment priuily.
5 Kana booddee Daawit waan fiixee wayyaa Saaʼol kuteef ni gaabbe.
And afterward Dauid was touched in his heart, because he had cut off the lappe which was on Sauls garment.
6 Namoota isaatiinis, “Gooftaa koo kan Waaqayyo dibetti waan akkasii gochuu yookaan harka koo isatti ol kaafachuu irraa Waaqayyo na haa oolchu; inni dibamaa Waaqayyootii” jedhe.
And he said vnto his men, The Lord keepe mee from doing that thing vnto my master the Lords Anoynted, to lay mine hand vpon him: for he is the Anoynted of the Lord.
7 Daawitis dubbii kanaan namoota isaa ifatee akka isaan Saaʼolin hin tuqne godhe. Saaʼolis holqa sana keessaa baʼee qajeele.
So Dauid ouercame his seruants with these words, and suffered them not to arise against Saul: so Saul rose vp out of the caue and went away.
8 Ergasii Daawit holqa sana keessaa baʼee, “Yaa gooftaa koo mootii!” jedhee Saaʼolin waame. Yeroo Saaʼol of irra garagalee ilaaletti Daawit gad jedhee, addaan lafatti gombifamee sagade.
Dauid also arose afterward, and went out of the caue, and cryed after Saul, saying, O my lorde the King. And when Saul looked behinde him, Dauid inclined his face to the earth, and bowed himselfe.
9 Innis Saaʼoliin akkana jedhe; “Ati maaliif dubbii namoonni, ‘Daawit si miidhuu barbaada’ jedhan dhageessa?
And Dauid saide to Saul, Wherefore giuest thou an eare to mens words, that say, Behold, Dauid seeketh euill against thee?
10 Akka Waaqayyo holqa kana keessatti dabarsee harka kootti si kenne harʼa ijuma keetiin argiteerta. Namoonni tokko tokko akka ani si ajjeesu na gorsan; ani garuu si ajjeesuu nan dide; anis, ‘Sababii inni dibamaa Waaqayyoo taʼeef, ani gooftaa kootti harka koo ol hin fudhadhun’ jedhe.
Behold, this day thine eyes haue seene, that the Lord had deliuered thee this day into mine hand in the caue, and some bade me kill thee, but I had compassion on thee, and said, I will not lay mine hande on my master: for he is the Lordes Anoynted.
11 Yaa abbaa ko, kunoo fiixee wayyaa keetii harka koo keessatti ilaali! Ani fiixee wayyaa keetii nan kute; garuu si hin ajjeefne. Egaa akka ani yakka hin qabnee fi fincilaa hin taʼin hubadhu. Ani homaa si hin goone; ati garuu na ajjeesuuf na adamsaa jirta.
Moreouer my father, behold: behold, I say, the lappe of thy garment in mine hand: for when I cut off the lappe of thy garment, I killed thee not. Vnderstad and see, that there is neither euil nor wickednesse in mee, neither haue I sinned against thee, yet thou huntest after my soule to take it.
12 Waaqayyo siʼii fi ana gidduutti murtii haa kennu. Yakka ati natti hojjette Waaqayyo haaloo haa baasu; ani garuu harka kootiinuu si hin tuqu.
The Lord be iudge betweene thee and me, and the Lord auenge me of thee, and let not mine hand be vpon thee.
13 Akkuma mammaaksi durii, ‘Namoota hamoo irraa waan hamaatu dhufa’ jedhu sana harki koo si hin tuqu.
According as the olde prouerbe sayeth, Wickednesse proceedeth from the wicked, but mine hand be not vpon thee.
14 “Mootiin Israaʼel eenyun adamsuuf gad baʼee? Ati eenyuun ariʼaa jirta? Saree duutee? Tafkiidhaa?
After whom is the King of Israel come out? after whome doest thou pursue? after a dead dog, and after a flea?
15 Waaqayyo abbaa murtii nuuf taʼee gidduu keenyatti haa murteessu. Inni dubbii koo ilaalee naaf haa falmu; harka kee jalaas na haa baasu.”
The Lord therfore be iudge, and iudge betweene thee and me, and see, and pleade my cause, and deliuer me out of thine hand.
16 Yeroo Daawit waan kana dubbatee xumuretti Saaʼol, “Daawit yaa ilma ko, kun sagalee keetii?” jedhee gaafate; sagalee ol fudhatees booʼe.
Whe Dauid had made an end of speaking these words to Saul, Saul sayd, Is this thy voyce, my sonne Dauid? and Saul lift vp his voice, and wept,
17 Innis akkana jedhe; “Ati na caalaa nama qajeelaa dha; yeroo ani waan hamaa sitti yaadetti ati immoo waan gaarii naa goote.
And sayd to Dauid, Thou art more righteous then I: for thou hast rendred me good, and I haue rendred thee euill.
18 Ati waan gaarii naaf goote amma natti himteerta; Waaqayyo dabarsee harka keetti na kennee ture; ati garuu na hin ajjeefne.
And thou hast shewed this day, that thou hast dealt well with me: forasmuch as when the Lord had closed me in thine hands, thou killedst me not.
19 Namni tokko yeroo diina isaa argutti utuu hin miidhin gad dhiisaa? Waan ati harʼa naa goote kanaaf Waaqayyo gatii siif haa kennu.
For who shall finde his enemie, and let him depart free? wherefore the Lord render thee good for that thou hast done vnto me this day.
20 Akka ati dhugumaan mootii taatuu fi akka mootummaan Israaʼel harka keetti jabaatee dhaabatu anuu beeka.
For now behold, I know that thou shalt be King, and that the kingdome of Israel shall be stablished in thine hand.
21 Ati akka sanyii koo hin balleessine yookaan akka maqaa koos maatii abbaa koo keessaa hin balleessine amma maqaa Waaqayyootiin naaf kakadhu.”
Sweare now therfore vnto me by the Lord, that thou wilt not destroy my seede after me, and that thou wilt not abolish my name out of my fathers house.
22 Kana irratti Daawit Saaʼoliif kakate. Ergasii Saaʼol manatti gale; Daawitii fi namoonni isaa garuu daʼannootti deebiʼan.
So Dauid sware vnto Saul, and Saul went home: but Dauid and his men went vp vnto ye hold.
