2 Saamuʼeel 2
1 Kana booddee Daawit, “Magaalaawwan Yihuudaa keessaa gara isa tokkootti ol baʼuu?” jedhee Waaqayyoon gaafate. Waaqayyos, “Baʼi” jedheen. Daawit immoo, “Gara isa kamiittin ol baʼa?” jedhee gaafate. Waaqayyos, “Gara Kebroonitti” jedhee deebiseef.
After this, Dauid asked counsel of the Lord, saying, Shall I go vp into any of the cities of Iudah? And the Lord sayd vnto him, Goe vp. And Dauid sayd Whither shall I goe? Hee then answered, Vnto Hebron.
2 Kanaafuu Daawit niitota isaa lamaan jechuunis Ahiinooʼam Yizriʼeelittii sanaa fi Abiigayiil kan Naabaal namichi Qarmeloos sun irraa duʼe wajjin ol baʼe.
So Dauid went vp thither, and his two wiues also, Ahinoam the Izreelite, and Abigail Nabals wife the Carmelite.
3 Daawit namoota isa wajjin turan tokkoo tokkoo isaanii maatii isaanii wajjin fudhate; isaanis magaalaawwan Kebroon keessa qubatan.
And Dauid brought vp the men that were with him, euery man with his houshold, and they dwelt in the cities of Hebron.
4 Ergasiis namoonni Yihuudaa gara Kebroon dhufanii mana Yihuudaa irratti Daawitin mootii godhanii diban. Yeroo akka namoonni Yaabeesh Giliʼaad Saaʼolin awwaalan Daawititti himametti,
Then the men of Iudah came, and there they anoynted Dauid King ouer the house of Iudah. And they tolde Dauid, saying, that the men of Iabesh Gilead buried Saul.
5 inni akkana jedhee gara namoota Yaabeesh Giliʼaaditti ergamoota erge; “Sababii isin isa awwaaluudhaan Saaʼol gooftaa keessaniif arjummaa akkasii gootaniif Waaqayyo isin haa eebbisu.
And Dauid sent messengers vnto the men of Iabesh Gilead, and said vnto them, Blessed are ye of the Lord, that yee haue shewed such kindenes vnto your lord Saul, that you haue buried him.
6 Ammas Waaqayyo jaalala isaa kan hin geeddaramnee fi amanamummaa isaa isiniif haa kennu; ani waan isin akkas gootaniif akkasuma waan gaarii isiniif nan godha.
Therefore now the Lord shewe mercie and trueth vnto you: and I will recompence you this benefite, because ye haue done this thing.
7 Egaa amma jabaadhaa; cimaa; Saaʼol gooftaan keessan duʼeeraatii; namoonni Yihuudaa immoo mootii godhatanii of irratti na dibaniiru.”
Therefore nowe let your handes be strong, and be you valiant: albeit your master Saul bee dead, yet neuerthelesse the house of Iudah hath anoynted me King ouer them.
8 Yeroo sanatti Abneer ilmi Neer ajajaan waraanaa Saaʼol Iish-Booshet ilma Saaʼol fuudhee gara Mahanayiimitti dabarse.
But Abner the sonne of Ner that was captaine of Sauls hoste, tooke Ish-bosheth the sonne of Saul, and brought him to Mahanaim,
9 Innis Giliʼaad, Ashuur, Yizriʼeel, Efreemii fi Beniyaam, akkasumas guutummaa Israaʼel irratti isa moosise.
And made him King ouer Gilead, and ouer the Ashurites, and ouer Izreel, and ouer Ephraim, and ouer Beniamin, and ouer al Israel.
10 Iish-Booshet ilmi Saaʼol yeroo Israaʼel irratti mootii taʼetti umuriin isaa waggaa afurtama ture; innis waggaa lama moʼe. Taʼus manni Yihuudaa Daawit duukaa buʼe.
Ish-bosheth Sauls sonne was fourtie yeere olde when he began to reigne ouer Israel, and reigned two yeere: but the house of Iudah followed Dauid.
11 Daawitis Kebroonitti mana Yihuudaa irratti waggaa torbaa fi jiʼa jaʼa mootii taʼe.
(And the time which Dauid reigned in Hebron ouer the house of Iudah, was seuen yeere and sixe moneths)
12 Abneer ilmi Neer namoota Iish-Booshet ilma Saaʼol sana wajjin Mahanayiimii kaʼanii gara Gibeʼoon dhaqan.
And Abner the sonne of Ner, and the seruantes of Ish-bosheth the sonne of Saul went out of Mahanaim to Gibeon.
13 Yooʼaab ilmi Zeruuyaa fi namoonni Daawit isaan simachuuf baʼanii haroo Gibeʼoon biratti itti dhufan. Gareen tokko gama tokkoon, gareen kaan immoo gama kaaniin haroo sana bira tataaʼan.
And Ioab the sonne of Zeruiah, and the seruants of Dauid went out and met one another by the poole of Gibeon: and they sate downe, the one on the one side of the poole, and the other on the otherside of the poole.
14 Abneeris Yooʼaabiin, “Mee dargaggoonni kaʼanii fuula keenya duratti wal haa tuman” jedhe. Yooʼaabis, “Haa taʼu; wal haa tuman” jedhe.
Then Abner saide to Ioab, Let the yong men nowe arise, and play before vs. And Ioab said, Let them arise.
15 Kanaafuu Beniyaam irraa namoonni kudha lama Iish-Booshet ilma Saaʼoliif, namoonni kudha lama immoo kaʼanii Daawitiif lakkaaʼaman.
Then there arose and went ouer twelue of Beniamin by number, which perteined to Ish-bosheth the sonne of Saul, and twelue of the seruants of Dauid.
16 Tokkoon tokkoon namaas mormituu isaa mataa qabee cinaacha isaatti goraadee diree wal qabatanii kukkufan. Kanaafuu iddoon sun Gibeʼoon keessatti lafa goraadee jedhamee waamame.
And euery one caught his fellowe by the head, and thrust his sword in his fellowes side, so they fell downe together: wherefore ye place was called Helkath-hazzurim, which is in Gibeon.
17 Lolli gaafa sanaa akka malee jabaa ture; Abneerii fi namoonni Israaʼelis namoota Daawitiin moʼataman.
And the battel was exceeding sore that same day: for Abner and the men of Israel fell before the seruants of Dauid.
18 Ilmaan Zeruuyaa sadan jechuunis Yooʼaab, Abiishaayii fi Asaaheel achi turan. Asaaheel akkuma kuruphee bosonaa fiigichatti nama jabaa ture.
And there were three sonnes of Zeruiah there, Ioab, and Abishai, and Asahel. And Asahel was as light on foote as a wilde roe.
19 Innis utuu mirgatti yookaan bitaatti hin gorin faana buʼee Abneerin ariʼe.
And Asahel followed after Abner, and in going he turned neither to the right hand nor to the left from Abner.
20 Abneeris of irra garagalee, “Ati Asaaheelii?” jedhee gaafate. Innis, “Eeyyee anuma” jedhee deebise.
Then Abner looked behind him, and said, Art thou Asahel? And he answered, Yea.
21 Ergasiis Abneer, “Gara mirgaatti yookaan bitaatti garagaliitii dargaggeessa tokko qabii miʼa lolaa isaa irraa fudhadhu” jedheen. Asaaheel garuu isa ariʼuu hin dhiifne.
Then Abner said, Turne thee either to the right hande, or to the left, and take one of the yong men, and take thee his weapons: and Asahel would not depart from him.
22 Abneer ammas Asaaheelin, “Na hin ariʼin! Ani maaliifan si galaafadha? Ani akkamittin fuula koo ol fudhadhee obboleessa kee Yooʼaabin ilaala?” jedhe.
And Abner saide to Asahel, Depart from me: wherefore shoulde I smite thee to the grounde? howe then shoulde I be able to holde vp my face to Ioab thy brother?
23 Asaaheel garuu isa ariʼuu hin dhiifne; kanaafuu Abneer qara eeboo isaatiin garaa isaa waraane; eeboon sunis keessa fullaʼee dugda isaatiin baʼe. Asaaheelis achitti kufee yommuu suma duʼe. Namni hundis iddoo Asaaheel itti kufee duʼe sana gaʼee dhaabata ture.
And when he woulde not depart, Abner with the hinder ende of the speare smote him vnder the fift ryb, that the speare came out behind him: and he fell downe there, and dyed in his place. And as many as came to the place where Asahel fell downe and dyed, stoode still.
24 Yooʼaabii fi Abiishaayi garuu Abneerin ariʼan; isaanis yeroo aduun dhiʼetti gaara Amaa kan karaa gammoojjii Gibeʼoonitti geessu irra Giiyaatti garagalee argamu sana gaʼan.
Ioab also and Abishai pursued after Abner: and the sunne went downe, when they were come to the hill Ammah, that lieth before Giah, by the way of the wildernesse of Gibeon.
25 Namoonni Beniyaamis Abneer biratti walitti qabaman. Isaanis gareedhaan walgurmeessanii gaara Amaa gubbaatti hiriiran.
And the children of Beniamin gathered them selues together after Abner, and were on an heape and stoode on the top of an hill.
26 Abneeris iyyee Yooʼaabin waamee, “Goraadeen kun bara baraan waa galaafachuu qabaa? Akka dhumni waan kanaa hadhaaʼaa taʼe ati wallaalteetii? Ati hamma yoomiitti akka namoonni kee obboloota isaanii ariʼuu dhiisan itti hin himtu?” jedhe.
Then Abner called to Ioab, and said, Shall the sworde deuoure for euer? knowest thou not, that it will be bitternesse in the latter ende? howe long then shall it be, or thou bid the people returne from following their brethren?
27 Yooʼaab immoo deebisee, “Dhugaa Waaqa jiraataa, utuu ati waan kana jechuu baattee silaa namoonni hamma lafti bariʼutti obboloota isaanii ariʼuu irraa hin deebiʼan ture” jedhe.
And Ioab sayde, As God liueth, if thou haddest not spoken, surely euen in the morning the people had departed euery one backe from his brother.
28 Kanaafuu Yooʼaab malakata afuufe; namoonni hundis Israaʼeloota ariʼuu dhiisan; lammatas waraanni isaan gidduutti hin kaane.
So Ioab blew a trumpet, and all the people stoode still, and pursued after Israel no more, neither fought they any more.
29 Abneerii fi namoonni isaa halkan sana guutuu Arabbaa keessa yaaʼanii darban. Isaanis Laga Yordaanos ceʼanii guutummaa Biitroon keessa darbanii gara Mahanayiim dhufan.
And Abner and his men walked all that night through the plaine, and went ouer Iorden, and past through all Bithron till they came to Mahanaim.
30 Ergasiis Yooʼaab Abneerin ariʼuu dhiisee namoota isaa hunda walitti qabe. Yeroo sanattis akka namoota Daawit keessaa Asaaheelin malee namoonni kudha sagal badan beekame.
Ioab also returned backe from Abner: and when he had gathered all the people together, there lacked of Dauids seruants nineteene men and Asahel.
31 Namoonni Daawit garuu namoota Beniyaam keessaa warra Abneer wajjin turan dhibba sadii fi jaatama ajjeesan.
But the seruants of Dauid had smitten of Beniamin, and of Abners men, so that three hundreth and threescore men dyed.
32 Isaanis reeffa Asaaheel fudhatanii Beetlihemitti iddoo awwaala abbaa isaatti awwaalan. Yooʼaabii fi namoonni isaa halkan guutuu deemaa bulanii barii obboroo Kebroon gaʼan.
And they tooke vp Asahel, and buried him in the sepulchre of his father, which was in Bethlehem: and Ioab and his men went all night, and when they came to Hebron, the day arose.
