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;
AND it came to pass, when David and his men were come to Ziklag on the third day, that the Amalekites had invaded the south, and Ziklag, and smitten Ziklag, and burned it with 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 taken the women captives, that were therein: they slew not any, either great or small, but carried them away, and went on their way.
3 Yommuu Daawitii fi namoonni isaa Siiqlaag dhufanitti magaalattiin ibiddaan gubamtee niitonni isaanii, ilmaan isaaniitii fi intallan isaanii hundinuu boojiʼamanii turan.
So David and his men came to the city, and, behold, it was burned with fire; and their wives, and their sons, and their daughters, were taken captives.
4 Kana irratti Daawitii fi namoonni isa wajjin turan hamma booʼuu dadhabanitti iyyanii booʼan.
Then David and the people that were with him lifted up their voice and wept, until they had no more power to weep.
5 Niitonni Daawit lamaanuu jechuunis Ahiinooʼam Yizriʼeelittiinii fi Abiigayiil niitiin Naabaal namichi Qarmeloos sun irraa duʼe qabamanii turan.
And David’s two wives were taken captives, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess, and Abigail the wife of Nabal the Carmelite.
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 distressed; for the people spake of stoning him, because the soul of all the people was grieved, every man for his sons and for his daughters: but David encouraged himself 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, Ahimelech’s son, I pray thee, bring me hither the ephod. And Abiathar brought thither 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.
And David inquired at the Lord, saying, Shall I pursue after this troop? shall I overtake them? And he answered him, Pursue: for thou shalt surely overtake them, and without fail recover all.
9 Daawitii fi namoonni isa wajjin turan dhibbi jaʼan gara Laga Besoor dhufan; gartokkeen isaaniis achitti hafan.
So David went, he and the six hundred men that were with him, and came to the brook Besor, where those that were left behind stayed.
10 Namoonni dhibba lama waan akka malee dadhabaniif laga Besoor ceʼuu hin dandeenye. Daawitii fi namoonni dhibba afur garuu ittuma fufanii duukaa buʼan.
But David pursued, he and four hundred men: for two hundred abode behind, which were so faint that they could not go over the brook Besor.
11 Isaanis namicha Gibxi tokko dirree irratti arganii Daawititti fidanii bishaan inni dhuguu fi waan inni nyaatu kennaniif.
And they found an Egyptian in the field, and brought him to David, and gave him bread, and he did eat; and they made him drink water;
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 a piece of a cake of figs, and two clusters of raisins: and when he had eaten, his spirit came again to him: for he had eaten no bread, nor drunk any water, three days and three 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 unto him, To whom belongest thou? and whence art thou? And he said, I am a young man of Egypt, servant to an Amalekite; and my master left me, because three days agone I fell sick.
14 Nus Negeeb kan Kereetotaa, kutaa Yihuudaatii fi Negeeb Kaaleb weerarree Siiqlaagin ibiddaan gubne.”
We made an invasion upon the south of the Cherethites, and upon the coast which belongeth to Judah, and upon the south of Caleb; and we burned Ziklag with 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, Canst thou bring me down to this company? And he said, Swear unto me by God, that thou wilt neither kill me, nor deliver me into the hands of my master, and I will bring thee down to this company.
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 brought him down, behold, they were spread abroad upon all the earth, eating and drinking, and dancing, because of all the great spoil that they had taken out of the land of the Philistines, and out of 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 smote them from the twilight even unto the evening of the next day: and there escaped not a man of them, save four hundred young men, which rode upon camels, and fled.
18 Daawit waan Amaaleqoonni boojiʼan hunda harkaa buufate; niitota isaa lamaanis ni deebifate.
And David recovered all that the Amalekites had carried away: and David rescued 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.
And there was nothing lacking to them, neither small nor great, neither sons nor daughters, neither spoil, nor any thing that they had taken to them: David recovered all.
20 Innis bushaayee fi loon isaanii hunda fudhate; namoonni isaas, “Kun boojuu Daawit” jechaa fuula horii kaanii dura isaan oofan.
And David took all the flocks and the herds, which they drave before those other cattle, and said, This is David’s spoil.
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, which were so faint that they could not follow David, whom they had made also to abide at the brook Besor: and they went forth to meet David, and to meet the people that were with him: and when David came near to the people, he saluted them.
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 answered all the wicked men and men of Belial, of those that went with David, and said, Because they went not with us, we will not give them ought of the spoil that we have recovered, save to every man his wife and his children, that they may lead them away, and depart.
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 said David, Ye shall not do so, my brethren, with that which the Lord hath given us, who hath preserved us, and delivered the company that came against us into our hand.
24 Eenyutu waan isin jettan kana dhagaʼa? Qoodni namicha miʼa eeguu, qooda namicha duula dhaqeetiin tokkuma. Isaan hundi haaluma tokkoon qooddatu.”
For who will hearken unto you in this matter? but as his part is that goeth down to the battle, so shall his part be that tarrieth by the stuff: they shall part alike.
25 Daawitis gaafasii jalqabee hamma harʼaatti waan kana seeraa fi sirna godhee saba Israaʼeliif dhaabe.
And it was so from that day forward, that he made it a statute and an ordinance for Israel unto this day.
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 of the spoil unto the elders of Judah, even to his friends, saying, Behold a present for you of the spoil of the enemies of the Lord;
27 Boojuu sanas warra Beetʼeelitti argamaniif, warra Raamoot Negeebii fi Yatiir turaniif,
To them which were in Beth-el, and to them which were in south Ramoth, and to them which were in Jattir,
28 warra Aroʼeer, warra Siifmoot, Eshtimoʼaa,
And to them which were in Aroer, and to them which were in Siphmoth, and to them which were in Eshtemoa,
29 warra Raakaal akkasumas warra magaalaa Yeramiʼeelotaatii fi magaalaa Qeenotaa keessa jiraataniif,
And to them which were in Rachal, and to them which were in the cities of the Jerahmeelites, and to them which were in the cities of the Kenites,
30 warra Hormaa, warra Boor Aashaan, warra Ataak,
And to them which were in Hormah, and to them which were in Chor-ashan, and to them which were in Athach,
31 warra Kebroon akkasumas iddoowwan Daawitii fi namoonni isaa keessa nanaannaʼan hunda jiraataniif erge.
And to them which were in Hebron, and to all the places where David himself and his men were wont to haunt.
