2 Saamuʼeel 21
1 Jabana Daawit keessa beelli waggaa sadii walitti aansee buʼe; kanaafuu Daawit fuula Waaqayyoo barbaade. Waaqayyos, “Sababii Saaʼol Gibeʼoonota ajjeeseef isaa fi mana isaa irra yakka dhiigaatu jira” jedhe.
Then there was a famine in the days of David three years, year after year; and David enquired of the LORD. And the LORD answered, [It is] for Saul, and for [his] bloody house, because he slew the Gibeonites.
2 Mootichis Gibeʼoonota walitti qabee isaan wajjin haasaʼe. Gibeʼoononni hambaa Amoorotaa turan malee ilmaan Israaʼelootaa miti; Israaʼeloonni akka isaan eegan kakuu seenaniif; Saaʼol garuu hinaaffaa Israaʼelii fi Yihuudaaf qabuun Gibeʼoonota balleessuu barbaadee ture.
And the king called the Gibeonites, and said unto them; (now the Gibeonites [were] not of the children of Israel, but of the remnant of the Amorites; and the children of Israel had sworn unto them: and Saul sought to slay them in his zeal to the children of Israel and Judah.)
3 Daawitis, “Ani maalin isiniif godha? Akka isin dhaala Waaqayyoo eebbiftaniif ani akkamittin araara buusuu dandaʼa?” jedhee Gibeʼoonota gaafate.
Wherefore David said unto the Gibeonites, What shall I do for you? and wherewith shall I make the atonement, that ye may bless the inheritance of the LORD?
4 Gibeʼoononni immoo, “Nu Saaʼol irraa meetii yookaan warqee gaafachuuf mirga hin qabnu; yookaan akka namni tokko iyyuu Israaʼel keessatti duʼu gochuuf nu mirga qabnaa?” jedhanii deebisaniif. Daawitis, “Akka ani maal isiniif godhu barbaaddu?” jedhee gaafate.
And the Gibeonites said unto him, We will have no silver nor gold of Saul, nor of his house; neither for us shalt thou kill any man in Israel. And he said, What ye shall say, [that] will I do for you.
5 Isaanis akkana jedhanii mootichaaf deebii kennan; “Nama akka nu diigamnuu fi akka nu Israaʼel keessattis iddoo tokko illee hin arganne nu godhe sana,
And they answered the king, The man that consumed us, and that devised against us [that] we should be destroyed from remaining in any of the coasts of Israel,
6 sanyii isaa keessaa dhiirri torba nuuf haa kennaman; nus dhaqnee biyya Saaʼol namicha Waaqayyo filate sanaa, Gibeʼaatti fuula Waaqayyoo duratti isaan fannifnaa.” Kanaafuu mootichi, “Tole isiniifin kenna” jedhe.
Let seven men of his sons be delivered unto us, and we will hang them up unto the LORD in Gibeah of Saul, [whom] the LORD did choose. And the king said, I will give [them].
7 Mootichi garuu sababii kakuu Waaqayyoo kan Daawitii fi Yoonaataan ilma Saaʼol gidduutti godhame sanaatiif jedhee Mefiibooshet ilma Yoonaataan ilma Saaʼol duʼa jalaa baase.
But the king spared Mephibosheth, the son of Jonathan the son of Saul, because of the LORD’s oath that [was] between them, between David and Jonathan the son of Saul.
8 Mootichis Armoonii fi Mefiibooshet ilmaan Riixiphaan intalli Ayyaa Saaʼoliif deesse lamaanii fi ilmaan Meerob intalli Saaʼol Adriiʼeel ilma Barzilaay namicha gosa Mehoolaatiif deesse shanan geesse.
But the king took the two sons of Rizpah the daughter of Aiah, whom she bare unto Saul, Armoni and Mephibosheth; and the five sons of Michal the daughter of Saul, whom she brought up for Adriel the son of Barzillai the Meholathite:
9 Innis dabarsee Gibeʼoonotatti isaan kenne. Jarris isaan ajjeesanii gaara gubbaatti fuula Waaqayyoo duratti isaan fannisan. Torbaan isaanii iyyuu walumaan dhuman; isaanis akkuma garbuun haamamuu jalqabeen yeroo midhaan haamamutti guyyoota jalqabaatti ajjeefaman.
And he delivered them into the hands of the Gibeonites, and they hanged them in the hill before the LORD: and they fell [all] seven together, and were put to death in the days of harvest, in the first [days], in the beginning of barley harvest.
10 Riixiphaan intalli Ayyaa sun wayyaa gaddaa fudhattee kattaa irra afatte. Isheenis yeroo midhaan itti haamamuu jalqabdee hamma bokkaan reeffa jara ajjeefamanii sanatti samiidhaa roobutti akka guyyaa guyyaa allaattiin samii halkan immoo bineensonni bosonaa reeffa sana tuqan hin eeyyamne.
And Rizpah the daughter of Aiah took sackcloth, and spread it for her upon the rock, from the beginning of harvest until water dropped upon them out of heaven, and suffered neither the birds of the air to rest on them by day, nor the beasts of the field by night.
11 Wanni Riixiphaan intalli Ayyaa saajjatoon Saaʼol sun hojjette Daawititti himame;
And it was told David what Rizpah the daughter of Aiah, the concubine of Saul, had done.
12 innis dhaqee lafee Saaʼolii fi lafee ilma isaa Yoonaataan namoota Yaabeesh Giliʼaad biraa fide. Isaan oobdii Beet Shaan iddoo Filisxeemonni gaafa Gilboʼaatti Saaʼolin ajjeesan itti jara fannisan sanaa isaan hatanii turaniitii.
And David went and took the bones of Saul and the bones of Jonathan his son from the men of Jabesh-gilead, which had stolen them from the street of Beth-shan, where the Philistines had hanged them, when the Philistines had slain Saul in Gilboa:
13 Daawitis lafee Saaʼolii fi lafee Yoonaataan ilma Saaʼol achii fide; lafeen warra ajjeefamanii fannifamaniis walitti qabame.
And he brought up from thence the bones of Saul and the bones of Jonathan his son; and they gathered the bones of them that were hanged.
14 Isaanis lafee Saaʼolii fi lafee ilma isaa Yoonaataan biyya Beniyaam keessatti, iddoo Zeelaa jedhamutti awwaala Qiish abbaa Saaʼol keessatti awwaalanii waan mootichi ajaje hunda godhan. Sana booddee Waaqni kadhannaa waaʼee biyyattiif dhiʼaate ni dhagaʼe.
And the bones of Saul and Jonathan his son buried they in the country of Benjamin in Zelah, in the sepulchre of Kish his father: and they performed all that the king commanded. And after that God was intreated for the land.
15 Ammas Filisxeemotaa fi Israaʼel gidduutti waraanni ni kaʼe. Daawitis namoota isaa wajjin Filisxeemota waraanuuf duule; innis akka malee dadhabe.
Moreover the Philistines had yet war again with Israel; and David went down, and his servants with him, and fought against the Philistines: and David waxed faint.
16 Namichi gosa Raafaa kan Yishbii-Benoob jedhamu tokko eeboo naasii kan kiiloo giraamii sadii fi walakkaa ulfaatuu fi goraadee haaraa hidhatee ture; innis Daawitin ajjeesuu barbaade.
And Ishbi-benob, which [was] of the sons of the giant, the weight of whose spear [weighed] three hundred [shekels] of brass in weight, he being girded with a new [sword], thought to have slain David.
17 Abiishaayi ilmi Zeruuyaa garuu Daawitin baraaruu dhufe; namicha Filisxeem sanas dhaʼee ajjeese. Namoonni Daawitis, “Akka ibsaan Israaʼel hin dhaamneef ati siʼachi nu wajjin waraana hin dhaqxu” jedhanii kakataniif.
But Abishai the son of Zeruiah succoured him, and smote the Philistine, and killed him. Then the men of David sware unto him, saying, Thou shalt go no more out with us to battle, that thou quench not the light of Israel.
18 Ergasii immoo lafa Goob jedhamutti Filisxeemota wajjin waraanni biraa kaʼe. Yeroo sanattis Siibekaay namichi biyya Hushaa namicha Saaf jedhamu tokko sanyii Raafaa keessaa ajjeese.
And it came to pass after this, that there was again a battle with the Philistines at Gob: then Sibbechai the Hushathite slew Saph, which [was] of the sons of the giant.
19 Waraana biraa kan Filisxeemota wajjin Goobitti godhame keessatti immoo Elhaanaan ilmi Yaʼiree Oregiim namichi biyya Beetlihem Gooliyaad namicha Gitii kan somaan eeboo isaa loosaa wayya dhooftuu gaʼu sana ni ajjeese.
And there was again a battle in Gob with the Philistines, where Elhanan the son of Jaare-oregim, a Beth-lehemite, slew [the brother of] Goliath the Gittite, the staff of whose spear [was] like a weaver’s beam.
20 Ammas waraana Gaatitti godhame kan biraa keessatti namicha hamma wayii gaʼu kan tokkoo tokkoo harka isaa irraa quboota jaʼa jaʼa akkasumas tokkoo tokkoo miilla isaa irraa quboota jaʼa jaʼa walumatti quboota digdamii afur qabu tokkotu ture; innis sanyii Raafaa keessaa dhalate.
And there was yet a battle in Gath, where was a man of [great] stature, that had on every hand six fingers, and on every foot six toes, four and twenty in number; and he also was born to the giant.
21 Yommuu inni Israaʼelin tuttuqettis, Yoonaataan ilmi Shimeʼii obboleessi Daawit isa ajjeese.
And when he defied Israel, Jonathan the son of Shimea the brother of David slew him.
22 Jarri afran kunneen sanyiiwwan Raafaa warra Gaati keessa turanii dha. Isaanis harka Daawitii fi harka namoota isaatiin dhuman.
These four were born to the giant in Gath, and fell by the hand of David, and by the hand of his servants.
