2 Saamuʼeel 15

1 Kana irratti Abesaaloom gaarii lolaatii fi fardeen akkasumas namoota fuula isaa dura fiigan shantama ofii isaatiif qopheeffate.

After this, Absalom prepared him charets and horses, and fiftie men to runne before him.

2 Innis ganamaan kaʼee daandii gara karra magaalaatti nama geessu irra dhaabata ture. Yeroo namni kam iyyuu iyyata isaa mootii duratti dhiʼeeffatee murtii argachuuf dhufutti, Abesaaloom ofitti isa waamee, “Ati magaalaa kamii dhufte?” jedhee gaafata. Namni sunis, “Garbichi kee gosoota Israaʼel keessaa gosa tokko keessaa dhufa” jedhee deebisaaf.

And Absalom rose vp early, and stoode hard by the entring in of the gate: and euery man that had any matter, and came to the King for iudgement, him did Absalom call vnto him, and sayde, Of what citie art thou? And he answered, Thy seruant is of one of the tribes of Israel.

3 Ergasiis Abesaaloom, “Kunoo iyyanni kee dhugaa fi qajeelaa dha; garuu akka inni si dhagaʼuuf namni mootiin iddoo buufate tokko iyyuu hin jiru” jedhaan.

Then Absalom said vnto him, See, thy matters are good and righteous, but there is no man deputed of the King to heare thee.

4 Abesaaloomis itti dabalee, “Maal qaba, utuu ani biyya kanatti abbaa murtii taʼee! Silaa namni iyyata yookaan himata qabu kam iyyuu na bira dhufee anis murtii qajeelaa isaaf nan kennan ture” jedha.

Absalom sayd moreouer, Oh that I were made Iudge in the lande, that euery man which hath any matter of controuersie, might come to me, that I might do him iustice.

5 Akkasumas yeroo namni tokko fuula isaa duratti jilbeenfachuuf gara isaa dhufutti Abesaaloom harka diriirfatee ol isa qabuudhaan isa dhungata.

And when any man came neere to him, and did him obeisance, he put forth his hand, and tooke him, and kissed him.

6 Abesaaloom akkasiin Israaʼeloota murtii qajeelaa argachuuf gara mootii dhufan hunda simachuudhaan garaa namoota Israaʼel hate.

And on this maner did Absalom to al Israel, that came to the King for iudgement: so Absalom stale the hearts of the men of Israel.

7 Abesaaloomis gara dhuma waggaa afuraffaatti mootichaan akkana jedhe; “Akka ani Kebroon dhaqee wareega Waaqayyoof wareegee ture tokko dhiʼeessuuf naaf eeyyami.

And after fourtie yeeres, Absalom sayd vnto the King, I pray thee, let me go to Hebron, and render my vowe which I haue vowed vnto the Lord.

8 Ani garbichi kee yeroon biyya Sooriyaa keessa Geshuur jiraachaa turetti, ‘Yoo Waaqayyo gara Yerusaalemitti na deebise, ani Kebroonitti Waaqayyoof nan sagada’ jedhee wareega kana wareegeen ture.”

For thy seruant vowed a vowe when I remayned at Geshur, in Aram, saying, If the Lord shall bring me againe in deede to Ierusalem, I will serue the Lord.

9 Mootichis, “Nagaan deemi” jedheen. Kanaafuu Abesaaloom gara Kebroon deeme.

And the King sayd vnto him, Go in peace. So he arose, and went to Hebron.

10 Abesaaloom garuu akka isaan, “Isin akkuma sagalee malakataa dhageessaniin, ‘Abesaaloom Kebroonitti mootii taʼeera’ jedhaa” jedhaniif guutummaa gosoota Israaʼel keessa dhoksaadhaan ergamoota bobbaase.

Then Absalom sent spyes throughout all the tribes of Israel, saying, When yee heare the sound of the trumpet, Ye shall say, Absalom reigneth in Hebron.

11 Namoonni dhibbi lama Yerusaalemii baʼanii Abesaaloom faana buʼan. Isaan akka keessummaatti affeeramanii calʼisaniituma deeman malee waaʼee dhimma sanaa waan tokko illee quba hin qaban ture.

And with Absalom went two hundreth men out of Ierusalem, that were called: and they went in their simplicitie, knowing nothing.

12 Abesaaloom yeroo aarsaa dhiʼeessutti namichi gosa Giiloo kan Ahiitofel jedhamu, gorsaan Daawit akka magaalaa isaa Giiloodhaa dhufuuf waamsise. Kanaafuu fincilli sun jabaatee duukaa buutonni Abesaaloomis baayʼachaa dhufan.

Also Absalom sent for Ahithophel the Gilonite Dauids counseller, from his citie Giloh, while he offred sacrifices: and the treason was great: for the people encreased still with Absalom.

13 Ergamaan tokkos Daawit bira dhufee, “Garaan namoota Israaʼel gara Abesaaloom itti deebiʼee jira” jedhee itti hime.

Then came a messenger to Dauid, saying, The hearts of the men of Israel are turned after Absalom.

14 Ergasiis Daawit qondaaltota isaa warra isa wajjin Yerusaalem keessa turaniin akkana jedhe; “Kaʼaa ni baqannaa! Yoo kanaa achii tokkoon keenya iyyuu Abesaaloom jalaa hin baanu. Dafnee asii deemuu qabna; yoo kanaa achii inni ariitiidhaan dhufee nu qaqqabee nu balleessaatii; magaalattii illee goraadeedhaan dhaʼa.”

Then Dauid sayd vnto all his seruants that were with him at Ierusalem, Vp, and let vs flee: for we shall not escape from Absalom: make speede to depart, lest he come suddenly and take vs, and bring euill vpon vs, and smite the citie with the edge of the sworde.

15 Qondaaltonni mootichaas, “Nu tajaajiltoonni kee waan gooftaan keenya mootichi murteesse kam iyyuu gochuuf qophaaʼoo dha” isaan jedhan.

And the Kings seruants sayd vnto him, Behold, thy seruants are ready to do according to all that my lord the King shall appoynt.

16 Kanaafuu mootichi warra mana isaa jiraatan hunda of faana fudhatee qajeele; saajjatoowwan isaa kudha garuu akka isaan masaraa mootii eeganiif achumatti dhiise.

So the King departed and all his houshold after him, and the King left ten concubines to keepe the house.

17 Mootichis akkasiin namoota hunda of faana fudhatee baʼe; isaanis xinnoo achi fagaatanii iddoo tokko dhadhaabatan.

And the King went forth and all the people after him, and taried in a place farre off.

18 Namoonni isaa hundinuu Kereetotaa fi Pheletota hunda wajjin mooticha dura qajeelan; akkasumas Gaatonni dhibba jaʼa kanneen Gitii isa faana baʼanis fuula mootichaa dura darban.

And all his seruants went about him, and all the Cherethites and all the Pelethites and all the Gittites, euen sixe hudreth men which were come after him from Gath, went before the King.

19 Mootichis Itaayi namicha Gitii sanaan akkana jedhe; “Ati maaliif nu faana dhufta? Deebiʼiitii Abesaaloom mooticha wajjin turi. Ati keessummaa biyya keetii boojiʼamtee dhuftee dha.

Then sayde the King to Ittai the Gittite, Wherefore commest thou also with vs? Returne aud abide with the King, for thou art a stranger: depart thou therefore to thy place.

20 Ati kaleessuma dhufte. Egaa ani utuun ofii kootiifuu garan dhaqu hin beekin akka ati nu faana joortun si godhaa? Amma beenuu namoota biyya keetii fudhadhuutii deebiʼi. Gara laafinnii fi amanamummaan si wajjin haa taʼan.”

Thou camest yesterday, and should I cause thee to wander to day and go with vs? I will goe whither I can: therefore returne thou and cary againe thy brethren: mercy and trueth be with thee.

21 Itaayi garuu deebisee mootichaan, “Dhugaa Waaqayyo jiraataatii fi duʼa gooftaa koo mootichaa, jireenyas taʼu duʼa taanaan ani tajaajilaan kee gara gooftaan koo mootichi deemu kam iyyuu nan deema” jedhe.

And Ittai answered the King, and sayde, As the Lord liueth, and as my lord the King liueth, in what place my lord the King shalbe, whether in death or life, euen there surely will thy seruant bee.

22 Daawit immoo Itaayiin, “Yoos darbii fuula duratti deemi” jedhe. Kanaafuu Itaayi namichi Gitii sun namoota isaatii fi maatii isaa kanneen isa wajjin turan hunda fudhatee deeme.

Then Dauid sayd to Ittai, Come, and go forward. And Ittai the Gittite went, and all his men, and all the children that were with him.

23 Yeroo namoonni sun hundi darbanittis warri baadiyyaa jiraatan hundi sagalee ol fudhatanii booʼan. Mootichis Sulula Qeedroon ceʼee deeme; namoonni hundinuus ceʼanii gara gammoojjiitti qajeelan.

And all the countrey wept with a loude voyce, and all the people went forward, but the King passed ouer the brooke Kidron: and all the people went ouer toward the way of ye wildernes.

24 Zaadoqis achi ture; Lewwonni isa wajjin turan hundinuu taabota kakuu Waaqaa baatanii turan; isaanis taabota Waaqaa lafa kaaʼan; Abiyaataar immoo hamma namoonni hundi magaalaa keessaa baʼanitti aarsaa dhiʼeesse.

And lo, Zadok also was there, and all the Leuites with him, bearing the Arke of the couenant of God: and they set downe the Arke of God, and Abiathar went vp vntill the people were all come out of the citie.

25 Ergasii mootichi Zaadoqiin akkana jedhe; “Ati taabota Waaqaa fuudhiitii gara magaalaatti deebiʼi. Yoo ani fuula Waaqayyoo duratti surraa argadhee jiraadhe, inni deebisee na fidee taabota sanaa fi lafa ofii jiraatu na argisiisa.

Then the King said vnto Zadok, Carie the Arke of God againe into the citie: if I shall finde fauour in the eyes of the Lord, he will bring me againe, and shewe me both it, and the Tabernacle thereof.

26 Garuu yoo inni, ‘Ani sitti hin gammanne’ naan jedhe, ani qophaaʼaa dha; inni waan fedhe na haa godhu.”

But if he thus say, I haue no delite in thee, behold, here am I, let him doe to me as seemeth good in his eyes.

27 Mootichis Zaadoq lubichaan, “Ati nama mulʼataan waa argu mitii? Egaa ilma kee Ahiimaʼazin akkasumas Yoonaataan ilma Abiyaataar fudhadhuutii nagaan gara magaalaatti deebiʼi. Atii fi Abiyaataar ilmaan keessan lamaan fudhadhaatii deemaa.

The King sayde againe vnto Zadok the Priest, Art not thou a Seer? returne into the citie in peace, and your two sonnes with you: to wit, Ahimaaz thy sonne, and Ionathan the sonne of Abiathar.

28 Ani immoo hamman dhaamsa kee dhagaʼutti malkaa gammoojjii keessaa bira nan tura.”

Behold, I wil tarie in the fieldes of the wildernesse, vntill there come some worde from you to be tolde me.

29 Kanaafuu Zaadoqii fi Abiyaataar taabota Waaqaa sana fuudhanii Yerusaalemitti deebiʼanii achuma turan.

Zadok therefore and Abiathar caried the Arke of God againe to Ierusalem, and they taried there.

30 Daawit garuu Gaara Ejersaatti ol baʼe; yeroo ol baʼuttis booʼaa deemaa ture; innis mataa isaa haguuggatee kophee malee deema ture. Namoonni isa wajjin turan hundinuus mataa isaanii haguuggatanii booʼaa deemu turan.

And Dauid went vp the mount of oliues and wept as he went vp, and had his head couered, and went barefooted: and al the people that was with him, had euery man his head couered, and as they went vp, they wept.

31 Yeroo kanatti, “Ahiitofelis warra Abesaaloom wajjin fincilan keessaa tokkoo dha” jedhamee Daawititti himame. Kanaafuu Daawit, “Yaa Waaqayyo, gorsa Ahiitofel sana jalaa busheessi” jedhee Waaqa kadhate.

Then one tolde Dauid, saying, Ahithophel is one of them that haue cospired with Absalom: and Dauid sayde, O Lord, I pray thee, turne the counsell of Ahithophel into foolishnesse.

32 Yeroo Daawit iddoo wal gaʼii iddoo itti namoonni Waaqa waaqeffatan gaʼettis Huushaayi namichi gosa Arkii sun wandaboo ofii tarsaasee daaraa mataatti firfirfatee isa simachuuf baʼe.

Then Dauid came to the toppe of the mount where he worshipped God: and beholde, Hushai the Archite came against him with his coate torne, and hauing earth vpon his head.

33 Daawitis akkana jedheen, “Ati yoo na wajjin deemte baʼaa natti taata.

Vnto whom Dauid sayd, If thou goe with me, thou shalt be a burthen vnto me.

34 Garuu yoo gara magaalaatti deebitee Abesaaloomiin, ‘Yaa mootii, ani duraan garbicha abbaa keetiin ture; amma garuu garbicha kee nan taʼa’ jettee gorsa Ahiitofel busheessite na gargaaruu dandeessa.

But if thou returne to the citie, and say vnto Absalom, I wil be thy seruant, O King, (as I haue bene in time past thy fathers seruant, so will I now be thy seruant) then thou mayest bring me the counsell of Ahithophel to nought.

35 Zaadoqii fi Abiyaataar luboonni suma wajjin achi jiraatu mitii? Ati waan masaraa mootiitii dhageessu hunda isaanitti himi.

And hast thou not there with thee Zadok and Abiathar the Priests? therefore what so euer thou shalt heare out of the Kings house, thou shalt shew to Zadok and Abiathar the Priests.

36 Ilmaan isaanii lamaan Ahiimaʼaz ilmi Zaadoqii fi Yoonaataan ilmi Abiyaataar isaanuma wajjin achi jiraatan. Ati waan dhageessu hunda harka isaaniitiin naa ergi.”

Beholde, there are with them their two sonnes: Ahimaaz Zadoks sonne, and Ionathan Abiathars sonne: by them also shall ye send me euery thing that ye can heare.

37 Kanaafuu Huushaayi michuun Daawit utuma Abesaaloom Yerusaalem seenaa jiruu achi gaʼe.

So Hushai Dauids friend went into the citie: and Absalom came into Ierusalem.
