1 Saamuʼeel 30
1 Daawitii fi namoonni isaa guyyaa sadaffaatti Xiiqlaag gaʼan. Yeroo sanattis Amaaleqoonni Negeebii fi Siiqlaagin weeraranii turan. Isaanis Xiiqlaagin dhaʼanii ibiddaan guban;
Now when David and his men came to Ziklag on the third day, the Amalekites had made an attack on the South and on Ziklag, and had overcome Ziklag and put it on fire;
2 dubartootaa fi warra achi keessa turan hunda, dargaggeeyyii fi jaarsolii boojiʼan. Hunda isaanii fudhatanii deeman malee nama tokko illee hin ajjeefne.
And had made the women and all who were there, small and great, prisoners: they had not put any of them to death, but had taken them all away.
3 Yommuu Daawitii fi namoonni isaa Siiqlaag dhufanitti magaalattiin ibiddaan gubamtee niitonni isaanii, ilmaan isaaniitii fi intallan isaanii hundinuu boojiʼamanii turan.
And when David and his men came to the town, they saw that it had been burned down, and their wives and their sons and daughters had been made prisoners.
4 Kana irratti Daawitii fi namoonni isa wajjin turan hamma booʼuu dadhabanitti iyyanii booʼan.
Then David and the people who were with him gave themselves up to weeping till they were able to go on weeping no longer.
5 Niitonni Daawit lamaanuu jechuunis Ahiinooʼam Yizriʼeelittiinii fi Abiigayiil niitiin Naabaal namichi Qarmeloos sun irraa duʼe qabamanii turan.
And David's two wives, Ahinoam of Jezreel and Abigail, the wife of Nabal of Carmel, had been made prisoners.
6 Daawit waan namoonni dhagaadhaan isa tumuuf mariʼachaa turaniif akka malee yaaddaʼe; tokkoon tokkoon namaa sababii ilmaanii fi intallan isaatiif garaan isaa gubatee ture. Daawit garuu Waaqayyo Waaqa isaatiin jabina argate.
And David was greatly troubled; for the people were talking of stoning him, because their hearts were bitter, every man sorrowing for his sons and his daughters: but David made himself strong in the Lord his God.
7 Daawitis Abiyaataar lubicha ilma Ahiimelekiin, “Dirata sana naa fidi” jedhe. Abiyaataaris ni fideef;
And David said to Abiathar the priest, the son of Ahimelech, Come here to me with the ephod. And Abiathar took the ephod to David.
8 Daawitis, “Ani garee weerartootaa kana duukaa buʼuu? Ani isaan qaqqabuu nan dandaʼaa?” jedhee Waaqayyoon gaafate. Innis deebisee, “Isaan duukaa buʼaa; ni qaqqabdaatii; boojuu illee dhugumaan irraa buufatta” jedheen.
Then David, questioning the Lord, said, Am I to go after this band? will I be able to overtake them? And in answer he said, Go after them, for you will certainly overtake them, and get back everything.
9 Daawitii fi namoonni isa wajjin turan dhibbi jaʼan gara Laga Besoor dhufan; gartokkeen isaaniis achitti hafan.
So David went, and his six hundred men went with him, and they came to the stream Besor.
10 Namoonni dhibba lama waan akka malee dadhabaniif laga Besoor ceʼuu hin dandeenye. Daawitii fi namoonni dhibba afur garuu ittuma fufanii duukaa buʼan.
And David, with four hundred men, went on: but two hundred of them were overcome with weariness, and not able to go across the stream.
11 Isaanis namicha Gibxi tokko dirree irratti arganii Daawititti fidanii bishaan inni dhuguu fi waan inni nyaatu kennaniif.
And in the fields they saw an Egyptian whom they took to David, and they gave him bread, and he had a meal, and they gave him water for drink;
12 Akkasumas bixxillee harbuu cabaa tokkoo fi bixxillee ija wayinii lama kennaniif. Innis nyaatee lubbuun itti deebite; inni guyyaa sadii fi halkan sadii homaa hin nyaanne, bishaanis hin dhugne tureetii.
And they gave him part of a cake of figs and some dry grapes; and after the food, his spirit came back to him, for he had had no food or drink for three days and nights.
13 Daawitis, “Ati kan eenyuu ti? Eessaa dhufte?” jedhee isa gaafate. Namichis akkana jedhe; “Ani nama biyya Gibxi; garbicha Amaaleqicha tokkoo ti. Gooftaan koo guyyaa sadiin dura ani fayyaa dhabnaan na gatee deeme.
And David said to him, Whose man are you and where do you come from? And he said, I am a young man of Egypt, servant to an Amalekite; and my master went on without me because three days back I became ill.
14 Nus Negeeb kan Kereetotaa, kutaa Yihuudaatii fi Negeeb Kaaleb weerarree Siiqlaagin ibiddaan gubne.”
We made an attack on the south part of the country of the Cherethites, and on the land which is Judah's, and on the south of Caleb; and we put Ziklag on fire.
15 Daawitis, “Iddoo gareen weerartuu kanaa jirutti na geessuu ni dandeessaa?” jedheen. Innis deebisee, “Akka na hin ajjeefne yookaan akka dabarsitee gooftaa kootti na hin kennine fuula Waaqaa duratti naa kakadhu; anis iddoo isaan jiranitti sin geessaa” jedhe.
And David said to him, Will you take me down to this band? And he said, If you give me your oath that you will not put me to death or give me up to my master, I will take you to them.
16 Yommuu namichi sun iddoo isaan jiranitti Daawitin geessetti, Amaaleqoonni sababii boojuu guddaa biyya Filisxeemii fi Yihuudaatii fudhatan sanaatiif baadiyyaa keessa faffacaʼanii nyaachaa, dhugaa, sirbaas turan.
And when he had taken him down, they saw them all, seated about on all sides, feasting and drinking among all the mass of goods which they had taken from the land of the Philistines and the land of Judah.
17 Daawitis galgala sanaa jalqabee hamma galgala guyyaa itti aanuutti isaan waraane; dargaggeeyyii dhibba afur kanneen gaalawwan yaabbatanii baqatan malee isaan keessaa namni tokko iyyuu hin miliqne.
And David went on fighting them from evening till the evening of the day after; and not one of them got away but only four hundred young men who went in flight on camels.
18 Daawit waan Amaaleqoonni boojiʼan hunda harkaa buufate; niitota isaa lamaanis ni deebifate.
And David got back everything the Amalekites had taken; and he got back his two wives.
19 Wanni tokko iyyuu hin hirʼanne; jechuunis dargaggeessi yookaan jaarsi, dhiirri yookaan durbi, wanni saamame yookaan wanni isaan fudhatan tokko iyyuu hin hirʼanne. Daawit waan hunda harkaa buufatee fide.
There was no loss of anything, small or great, sons or daughters or goods or anything which they had taken away: David got it all back.
20 Innis bushaayee fi loon isaanii hunda fudhate; namoonni isaas, “Kun boojuu Daawit” jechaa fuula horii kaanii dura isaan oofan.
And they took all the flocks and herds, and driving them in front of him, said, These are David's.
21 Daawit gara namoota dhibba lamaan akka malee dadhabanii isa duukaa buʼuu hin dandaʼin kanneen Laga Besoor biratti duubatti hafan sanaa dhufe. Isaanis Daawitii fi namoota isaa simachuu gad buʼan. Daawitis yeroo namoota sanatti dhiʼaatetti nagaa isaan gaafate.
And David came to the two hundred men, who because of weariness had not gone with him, but were waiting at the stream Besor: and they went out, meeting David and the people who were with him; and when they came near them, they said, How are you?
22 Garuu namoonni hamoonii fi warri rakkina uuman kanneen duukaa buutota Daawit wajjin turan hundi, “Waan isaan nu wajjin hin duuliniif nu boojuu deebifanne kana isaan wajjin hin qooddannu. Taʼus tokkoon tokkoon isaanii niitii fi ijoollee isaanii fudhatanii haa deeman” jedhan.
Then the bad and good-for-nothing men among those who went with David said, Because they did not go with us, we will give them nothing of the goods which we have got back, but only to every man his wife and children, so that he may take them and go.
23 Daawit immoo akkana jedhee deebise; “Lakkisaa, yaa obboloota ko, isin waan Waaqayyo nuuf kenne irratti waan akkanaa gochuu hin qabdan. Inni nu eegee waraana nutti dhufe illee dabarsee harka keenyatti kenneera.
Then David said, You are not to do this, my brothers, after what the Lord has given us, who has kept us safe and given up the band which came against us into our hands.
24 Eenyutu waan isin jettan kana dhagaʼa? Qoodni namicha miʼa eeguu, qooda namicha duula dhaqeetiin tokkuma. Isaan hundi haaluma tokkoon qooddatu.”
Who is going to give any attention to you in this question? for an equal part will be given to him who went to the fight and to him who was waiting by the goods: they are all to have the same.
25 Daawitis gaafasii jalqabee hamma harʼaatti waan kana seeraa fi sirna godhee saba Israaʼeliif dhaabe.
And so he made it a rule and an order for Israel from that day till now.
26 Daawit yommuu Siiqlaag gaʼetti, “Kun kennaa boojuu diinota Waaqayyoo keessaa isinii kennamee dha” jedhee maanguddoota Yihuudaa kanneen michoota isaa turaniif boojuu sana irraa erge.
And when David came to Ziklag, he sent some of the goods to the responsible men of Judah, and to his friends, saying, Here is an offering for you from the goods of those who were fighting against the Lord;
27 Boojuu sanas warra Beetʼeelitti argamaniif, warra Raamoot Negeebii fi Yatiir turaniif,
He sent to those who were in Beth-el, and in Ramah of the South, and in Jattir;
28 warra Aroʼeer, warra Siifmoot, Eshtimoʼaa,
And to those in Arara and Eshtemoa
29 warra Raakaal akkasumas warra magaalaa Yeramiʼeelotaatii fi magaalaa Qeenotaa keessa jiraataniif,
and Carmel and in the towns of the Jerahmeelites, and in the towns of the Kenites;
30 warra Hormaa, warra Boor Aashaan, warra Ataak,
And to those who were in Hormah and in Bor-ashan and in Athach;
31 warra Kebroon akkasumas iddoowwan Daawitii fi namoonni isaa keessa nanaannaʼan hunda jiraataniif erge.
And in Hebron, and to all the places where David and his men had been living.
