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;
It happened, when David and his men had come to Ziklag on the third day, that Amalek had made a raid on the Negev, and on Ziklag, and had struck 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 captive the women and all who were in it, both small and great. They did not kill any, but carried them off, and went their way.
3 Yommuu Daawitii fi namoonni isaa Siiqlaag dhufanitti magaalattiin ibiddaan gubamtee niitonni isaanii, ilmaan isaaniitii fi intallan isaanii hundinuu boojiʼamanii turan.
When David and his men came to the city, look, it was burned with fire; and their wives, and their sons, and their daughters, were taken captive.
4 Kana irratti Daawitii fi namoonni isa wajjin turan hamma booʼuu dadhabanitti iyyanii booʼan.
Then David and the people who 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.
David's two wives were taken captive, Ahinoam the Jezreelite 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.
David was greatly distressed; for the people spoke of stoning him, because the soul of all the people was grieved, every man for his sons and for 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;
David said to Abiathar the priest, the son of Ahimelech, "Please bring me here the ephod." Abiathar brought 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.
David inquired of the LORD, saying, "If I pursue after this troop, shall I overtake them?" He answered him, "Pursue; for you shall surely overtake them, and shall 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 who were with him, and came to the Wadi Besor, where those who 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 stayed behind, who were so faint that they couldn't cross the Wadi Besor.
11 Isaanis namicha Gibxi tokko dirree irratti arganii Daawititti fidanii bishaan inni dhuguu fi waan inni nyaatu kennaniif.
They found an Egyptian in the field, and brought him to David, and gave him bread, and he ate; and they gave him water to 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.
They gave him a piece of a cake of figs, and two clusters of raisins. 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.
David asked him, "To whom do you belong? Where are you from?" He said, "I am a young man of Egypt, servant to an Amalekite; and my master left me, because three days ago I fell sick.
14 Nus Negeeb kan Kereetotaa, kutaa Yihuudaatii fi Negeeb Kaaleb weerarree Siiqlaagin ibiddaan gubne.”
We made a raid on the Negev of the Kerethites, and on that which belongs to Judah, and on the Negev 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.
David said to him, "Will you bring me down to this troop?" He said, "Swear to me by God that you will neither kill me, nor deliver me up into the hands of my master, and I will bring you down to this troop." And he swore to him.
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.
When he had brought him down, look, they were spread around over all the ground, eating, 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.
David struck them from the twilight even to the evening of the next day and he put them to death. Not a man of them escaped from there, except four hundred young men, who rode on camels and fled.
18 Daawit waan Amaaleqoonni boojiʼan hunda harkaa buufate; niitota isaa lamaanis ni deebifate.
He recovered all that the Amalekites had taken; 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.
There was nothing lacking to them, neither small nor great, neither sons nor daughters, neither spoil, nor anything that they had taken to them. David brought back all.
20 Innis bushaayee fi loon isaanii hunda fudhate; namoonni isaas, “Kun boojuu Daawit” jechaa fuula horii kaanii dura isaan oofan.
He took all the flocks and the herds, which they drove before those other livestock, 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.
David came to the two hundred men, who were so faint that they could not follow David, whom he also had made to stay at the Wadi Besor; and they went forth to meet David, and to meet the people who were with him. And when David came near to the people, he greeted 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 every wicked and worthless one of the men who had gone with David answered, and they said, "Because they did not go with us, we will not give them anything of the spoil that we have recovered, except to each man his wife and his children. And let them take them, 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 David said, "You shall not do so after what the LORD has given to us, who has preserved us, and delivered into our hand the raiding party that came against us.
24 Eenyutu waan isin jettan kana dhagaʼa? Qoodni namicha miʼa eeguu, qooda namicha duula dhaqeetiin tokkuma. Isaan hundi haaluma tokkoon qooddatu.”
So who will listen to you in this matter? For they are not inferior to you. For as his share is who goes down to the battle, so will his share be who remains with the supplies; they will share alike."
25 Daawitis gaafasii jalqabee hamma harʼaatti waan kana seeraa fi sirna godhee saba Israaʼeliif dhaabe.
It was so from that day forward, that he made it a statute and an ordinance for Israel to 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.
When David came to Ziklag, he sent of the spoil to the elders of Judah and to his friends, saying, "Look, 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,
He sent it to those who were in Bethel, and to those who were in Ramath Negev, and to those who were in Jattir,
28 warra Aroʼeer, warra Siifmoot, Eshtimoʼaa,
and to those who were in Aroer, and to those who were in Siphmoth, and to those who were in Eshtemoa,
29 warra Raakaal akkasumas warra magaalaa Yeramiʼeelotaatii fi magaalaa Qeenotaa keessa jiraataniif,
and to those who were in Racal, and to those who were in the cities of the Jerahmeelites, and to those who were in the cities of the Kenizzites.
30 warra Hormaa, warra Boor Aashaan, warra Ataak,
and to those who were in Hormah, and to those who were in Bor Ashan, and to those who were in Athach,
31 warra Kebroon akkasumas iddoowwan Daawitii fi namoonni isaa keessa nanaannaʼan hunda jiraataniif erge.
and to those who were in Hebron, and to all the places where David himself and his men used to stay.
