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 had entered Sekelac on the third day, that Amalec had made an incursion upon the south, and upon Sekelac, and struck Sekelac, and burnt 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 as to the women and all things that were in it, great and small, they killed neither man nor woman, but carried them captives, 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.
And David and his men came into the city, and, behold, it was burnt with fire; and their wives, and their sons, and their daughters were carried captive.
4 Kana irratti Daawitii fi namoonni isa wajjin turan hamma booʼuu dadhabanitti iyyanii booʼan.
And David and his men lifted up their voice, and wept till there was no longer any power within them to weep.
5 Niitonni Daawit lamaanuu jechuunis Ahiinooʼam Yizriʼeelittiinii fi Abiigayiil niitiin Naabaal namichi Qarmeloos sun irraa duʼe qabamanii turan.
And both the wives of David were carried captive, Achinaam, the Jezraelitess, and Abigaia 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, because the people spoke of stoning him, because the soul of all the people was grieved, each for his sons and his daughters: but David strengthened 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 the son of Achimelech, Bring near the ephod.
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 enquired of the Lord, saying, Shall I pursue after this troop? shall I overtake them? and he said to him, Pursue, for you shall surely overtake them, and you shall surely rescue [the captives].
9 Daawitii fi namoonni isa wajjin turan dhibbi jaʼan gara Laga Besoor dhufan; gartokkeen isaaniis achitti hafan.
So David went, he an the six hundred men with him, an they come as far as the brook Bosor, and the superfluous ones stopped.
10 Namoonni dhibba lama waan akka malee dadhabaniif laga Besoor ceʼuu hin dandeenye. Daawitii fi namoonni dhibba afur garuu ittuma fufanii duukaa buʼan.
And he pursued them with four hundred men; and there remained behind two hundred men, who tarried on the other side of the brook Bosor.
11 Isaanis namicha Gibxi tokko dirree irratti arganii Daawititti fidanii bishaan inni dhuguu fi waan inni nyaatu kennaniif.
And they find an Egyptian in the field, and they take him, and bring him to David; and they gave him bread and he ate, and they caused him to 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 he ate, and his spirit was restored in him; for he had not eaten bread, and had not drunk 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 to him, Whose are you? and whence are you? and the young man the Egyptian said, I am the servant of an Amalekite; and my master left me, because I was taken ill three days ago.
14 Nus Negeeb kan Kereetotaa, kutaa Yihuudaatii fi Negeeb Kaaleb weerarree Siiqlaagin ibiddaan gubne.”
And we made an incursion on the south of the Chelethite, and on the parts of Judea, and on the south of Chelub, and we burnt Sekelac 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, Will you bring me down to this troop? And he said, Swear now to me by God, that you will not kill me, and that you will not deliver me into the hands of my master, and I will bring you down upon this troop.
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.
So be brought him down there, and behold, they [were] scattered abroad upon the surface of the whole land, eating and drinking, and feasting by [reason of] all the great spoils which they had taken out of the land of the Philistines, and out of the land of Juda.
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 came upon them, and struck them from the morning till the evening, and on the next day; and not one of them escaped, except four hundred young men, who were mounted on camels, and fled.
18 Daawit waan Amaaleqoonni boojiʼan hunda harkaa buufate; niitota isaa lamaanis ni deebifate.
And David recovered all that the Amalekites had taken, and he rescued both his 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 nothing was lacking to them of great or small, either of the spoils, or the sons and daughters, or anything that they had taken of theirs; and David recovered all.
20 Innis bushaayee fi loon isaanii hunda fudhate; namoonni isaas, “Kun boojuu Daawit” jechaa fuula horii kaanii dura isaan oofan.
And he took all the flocks, and the herds, and led them away before the spoils: and it was said of these spoils, These [are] the spoils of David.
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 comes to the two hundred men who were left behind that they should not follow after David, and he had caused them to remain by the brook of Bosor; and they came forth to meet David, and to meet his people with him: and David drew near to the people, and they asked him how he did.
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 every ill-disposed and bad man of the soldiers who had gone with David, answered and said, Because they did not pursue together with us, we will not give them of the spoils which we have recovered, only let each one lead away with him his wife and his children, and let them return.
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.
And David said, You shall not do so, after the Lord has delivered [the enemy] to us, and guarded us, and the Lord has delivered into our hands the troop that came against u.
24 Eenyutu waan isin jettan kana dhagaʼa? Qoodni namicha miʼa eeguu, qooda namicha duula dhaqeetiin tokkuma. Isaan hundi haaluma tokkoon qooddatu.”
And who will listen to these your words? for they are not inferior to us; for according to the portion of him that went down to the battle, so shall be the portion of him that abides with the baggage; they shall share alike.
25 Daawitis gaafasii jalqabee hamma harʼaatti waan kana seeraa fi sirna godhee saba Israaʼeliif dhaabe.
And it came to pass from that day forward, that it became an ordinance and a custom in Israel until 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 David came to Sekelac, and sent of the spoils to the elders of Juda, and to his friends, saying, Behold [some] of the spoils of the enemies of the Lord;
27 Boojuu sanas warra Beetʼeelitti argamaniif, warra Raamoot Negeebii fi Yatiir turaniif,
to those in Baethsur, and to those in Rama of the south, and to those in Gethor.
28 warra Aroʼeer, warra Siifmoot, Eshtimoʼaa,
And to those in Aroer, and to those in Ammadi, and to those in Saphi, and to those in Esthie,
29 warra Raakaal akkasumas warra magaalaa Yeramiʼeelotaatii fi magaalaa Qeenotaa keessa jiraataniif,
and to those in Geth, and to those in Cimath, and to those in Saphec, and to those in Themath, and to those in Carmel, and to those in the cities of Jeremeel, and to those in the cities of the Kenezite;
30 warra Hormaa, warra Boor Aashaan, warra Ataak,
and to those in Jerimuth, and to those in Bersabee, and to those in Nombe,
31 warra Kebroon akkasumas iddoowwan Daawitii fi namoonni isaa keessa nanaannaʼan hunda jiraataniif erge.
and to those in Chebron, and to all the places which David and his men had passed through.
