2 Saamuʼeel 10
1 Ergasiis mootiin Amoonotaa ni duʼe; ilmi isaa Haanuunis iddoo isaa buʼee mootii taʼe.
And it came to pass after this, that the king of the children of Ammon died, and Hanon his son reigned in his stead.
2 Daawitis, “Akkuma abbaan isaa naa arjoome sana anis Haanuun ilma Naahaashiif nan arjooma” jedhee yaade. Kanaafuu Daawit gadda waaʼee abbaa isaatiif itti dhagaʼame isaa ibsuuf Haanuunitti ergamoota ni erge. Yommuu namoonni Daawit gara biyya Amoonotaa dhaqanitti,
And David said: I Will shew kindness to Hanon the son of Daas, as his father shewed kindness to me. So David sent his servants to comfort him for the death of his father. But when the servants of David were come into the land of the children of Ammon,
3 qondaaltonni Amoonotaa Haanuun gooftaa isaaniitiin, “Ati sababii Daawit akka isaan dhaamsa gaddaa sitti himaniif namoota sitti ergeef inni waan abbaa keetiif ulfina kenne seetaa? Daawit akka isaan magaalattii qoratanii, basaasanii fi qabataniif gara kee isaan erge mitii?” jedhan.
The princes of the children of Ammon said to Hanon their lord: Thinkest thou that for the honour of thy father, David hath sent comforters to thee, and hath not David rather sent his servants to thee to search, and spy into the city, and overthrow it?
4 Kanaafuu Haanuun namoota Daawit sana qaqqabee tokkoo tokkoo isaanii irraa hareeda gama tokkoo haadee wayyaa isaanii illee teessuma irratti cicciree of irraa isaan erge.
Wherefore Hanon took the servants of David, and shaved off the one half of their beards, and cut away half of their garments even to the buttocks, and sent them away.
5 Daawit yommuu wanni kun isatti himametti sababii isaan akka malee qaanaʼaniif namoota sanatti ergamoota erge. Mootichis, “Isin hamma areedni keessan isinii guddatutti Yerikoo turaatii ergasii deebiʼaa kottaa” jedheen.
When this was told David, he sent to meet them: for the men were sadly put to confusion, and David commanded them, saying: Stay at Jericho, till your beards be grown, and then return.
6 Amoononni yommuu akka Daawit isaan xireeffate hubatanitti, Beet Rehoobii fi Suubaadhaa loltoota lafoo kan Sooriyaa kuma digdama, mootii Maʼakaa namoota kuma tokko wajjin akkasumas Xoob irraa namoota kuma kudha lama qaxaratan.
And the children of Ammon seeing that they had done an injury to David, Bent and hired the Syrians of Rohob, and the Syrians of Soba, twenty thousand footmen, and of the king of Maacha a thousand men, and of Istob twelve thousand men.
7 Daawit yommuu waan kana dhagaʼetti Yooʼaabii fi guutummaa loltootaa ni erge.
And when David heard this, he sent Joab and the whole army of warriors.
8 Amoononni immoo baʼanii karra magaalaa sanaa irratti waraanaaf hiriiran; namoonni Sooriyaa warri Suubaa fi Rehoob, akkasumas namoonni Xoobiitii fi Maʼakaa immoo kophaa isaanii dirree irra turan.
And the children of Ammon came out, and set their men in array at the entering in of the gate: but the Syrians of Soba, and of Rohob, and of Istob, and of Maacha were by themselves in the field.
9 Yooʼaabis akka fuula isaa duraa fi dugda isaa duubaan waraanni jiru ni arge; kanaafuu loltoota Israaʼel keessaa namoota bebeekamoo filatee adda loltoonni Sooriyaa jiranitti bobbaase.
Then Joab seeing that the battle was prepared against him, both before and behind, chose of all the choice men of Israel, and put them in array against the Syrians:
10 Namoota hafan immoo ajaja obboleessa isaa Abiishaayi jalatti hiriirsee Amoonotatti isaan duulchise.
And the rest of the people he delivered to Abisai his brother, who set them in array against the children of Ammon.
11 Yooʼaabis akkana jedhe; “Yoo warri Sooriyaa natti jabaatan ati dhuftee na gargaarta; yoo Amoononni sitti jabaatan immoo ani dhufee sin gargaara.
And Joab said: If the Syrians are too strong for me, then thou shalt help me: but if the children of Ammon are too strong for thee, then I will help thee.
12 Jabaadhu; saba keenyaa fi magaalaawwan Waaqa keenyaatiif garaa kutannaadhaan haa lollu. Waaqayyos waan fuula isaa duratti gaarii taʼe ni godha.”
Be of good courage, and let us fight for our people, and for the city of our God: and the Lord will do what is good in his sight.
13 Ergasii Yooʼaabii fi loltoonni isa wajjin turan warra Sooriyaa waraanuuf fuul duratti ni qajeelan; jarris fuula isaa duraa baqatan.
And Joab and the people that were with him, began to fight against the Syrians: and they immediately fled before him.
14 Amoononni yommuu akka namoonni Sooriyaa baqatan arganitti isaanis Abiishaayi duraa baqatanii magaalaa seenan. Akkasiin Yooʼaab Amoonota waraanuu dhiisee Yerusaalemitti deebiʼe.
And the children of Ammon seeing that the Syrians were fled, they fled also before Abisai, and entered into the city: and Joab returned from the children of Ammon, and came to Jerusalem.
15 Namoonni Sooriyaa yommuu akka Israaʼeloonni isaan moʼatan arganitti lammata walitti qabaman.
Then the Syrians seeing that they had fallen before Israel, gathered themselves together.
16 Hadaadezeris ergamoota ergee namoota Sooriyaa kanneen Laga Efraaxiisiitiin gamaa fichisiise; isaanis hoogganummaa ajajaa waraana Hadaadezer kan Shoobak jedhamuun gara Heelaam deeman.
And Adarezer sent and fetched the Syrians, that were beyond the river, and brought over their army: and Sobach, the captain of the host of Adarezer, was their general.
17 Daawitis yommuu wanni kun isatti himametti, Israaʼeloota hunda walitti qabatee Yordaanos ceʼee Heelaam dhaqe. Warri Sooriyaas waraanaaf Daawititti hiriiranii isa lolan.
And when this was told David, he gathered all Israel together, and passed over the Jordan, and came to Helam: and the Syrians set themselves in array against David, and fought against him.
18 Isaan garuu Israaʼeloota duraa baqatan; Daawitis namoota gaarii waraanaa oofan dhibba torbaa fi loltoota lafoo kuma afurtama fixe. Ajajaa loltoota isaanii Shoobak illee madeesse; innis achumatti duʼe.
And the Syrians fled before Israel, and David slew of the Syrians the men of seven hundred chariots, and forty thousand horsemen: and smote Sobach the captain of the army, who presently died.
19 Mootonni Hadaadezerin tajaajilaa turan hundi yommuu akka Israaʼelootaan moʼataman arganitti, Israaʼeloota wajjin nagaa uumanii isa jalatti bulan. Kanaafuu namoonni Sooriyaa ergasii Amoonota gargaaruu sodaatan.
And all the kings that were auxiliaries of Adarezer, seeing themselves overcome by Israel, were afraid and fled away, eight and fifty thousand men before Israel. And they made peace with Israel: and served them, and all the Syrians were afraid to help the children of Ammon any more.
