2 Saamuʼeel 10
1 Ergasiis mootiin Amoonotaa ni duʼe; ilmi isaa Haanuunis iddoo isaa buʼee mootii taʼe.
And it comes to pass afterward, that the king of the sons of Ammon dies, and his son Hanun reigns 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 says, “I do kindness with Hanun son of Nahash, as his father did kindness with me”; and David sends to comfort him by the hand of his servants concerning his father, and the servants of David come into the land of the sons 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.
And the heads of the sons of Ammon say to their lord Hanun, “Is David honoring your father in your eyes because he has sent comforters to you? For has David not sent his servants to you to search the city, and to spy it, and to 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.
And Hanun takes the servants of David, and shaves off the half of their beard, and cuts off their long robes in the midst—to their buttocks, and sends 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.
and they declare [it] to David, and he sends to meet them, for the men have been greatly ashamed, and the king says, “Abide in Jericho until your beard springs up—then you have returned.”
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 sons of Ammon see that they have been abhorred by David, and the sons of Ammon send and hire Aram of Beth-Rehob, and Aram of Zoba, twenty thousand footmen, and the king of Maacah [with] one thousand men, and Ish-Tob [with] twelve thousand men;
7 Daawit yommuu waan kana dhagaʼetti Yooʼaabii fi guutummaa loltootaa ni erge.
and David hears, and sends Joab, and all the host—the mighty men.
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 sons of Ammon come out, and set in array [for] battle, at the opening of the gate, and Aram of Zoba, and Rehob, and Ish-Tob, and Maacah, [are] 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.
and Joab sees that the front of the battle has been to him before and behind, and he chooses [out] of all the chosen in Israel, and sets in array to meet Aram,
10 Namoota hafan immoo ajaja obboleessa isaa Abiishaayi jalatti hiriirsee Amoonotatti isaan duulchise.
and he has given the rest of the people into the hand of his brother Abishai, and sets in array to meet the sons 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 he says, “If Aram is stronger than I, then you have been for salvation to me, and if the sons of Ammon are stronger than you, then I have come to give salvation to you;
12 Jabaadhu; saba keenyaa fi magaalaawwan Waaqa keenyaatiif garaa kutannaadhaan haa lollu. Waaqayyos waan fuula isaa duratti gaarii taʼe ni godha.”
be strong and strengthen yourself for our people, and for the cities of our God, and YHWH does that which is good in His eyes.”
13 Ergasii Yooʼaabii fi loltoonni isa wajjin turan warra Sooriyaa waraanuuf fuul duratti ni qajeelan; jarris fuula isaa duraa baqatan.
And Joab draws near, and the people who [are] with him, to battle against Aram, and they flee from his presence;
14 Amoononni yommuu akka namoonni Sooriyaa baqatan arganitti isaanis Abiishaayi duraa baqatanii magaalaa seenan. Akkasiin Yooʼaab Amoonota waraanuu dhiisee Yerusaalemitti deebiʼe.
and the sons of Ammon have seen that Aram has fled, and they flee from the presence of Abishai, and go into the city; and Joab turns back from the sons of Ammon, and comes to Jerusalem.
15 Namoonni Sooriyaa yommuu akka Israaʼeloonni isaan moʼatan arganitti lammata walitti qabaman.
And Aram sees that it is struck before Israel, and they are gathered together;
16 Hadaadezeris ergamoota ergee namoota Sooriyaa kanneen Laga Efraaxiisiitiin gamaa fichisiise; isaanis hoogganummaa ajajaa waraana Hadaadezer kan Shoobak jedhamuun gara Heelaam deeman.
and Hadadezer sends, and brings out Aram which [is] beyond the River, and they come to Helam, and Shobach, head of the host of Hadadezer, [is] before them.
17 Daawitis yommuu wanni kun isatti himametti, Israaʼeloota hunda walitti qabatee Yordaanos ceʼee Heelaam dhaqe. Warri Sooriyaas waraanaaf Daawititti hiriiranii isa lolan.
And it is declared to David, and he gathers all Israel, and passes over the Jordan, and comes to Helam, and Aram sets itself in array to meet David, and they fight with 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 Aram flees from the presence of Israel, and David slays seven hundred charioteers and forty thousand horsemen of Aram, and he has struck Shobach, [the] head of its host, and he dies there.
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—servants of Hadadezer—see that they have been struck before Israel, and make peace with Israel, and serve them; and Aram is afraid to help the sons of Ammon anymore.
