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.
Now there was a famine in the days of David for three consecutive years, so David sought the face of Jehovah. And Jehovah said, "There is bloodguilt on Saul and on his house, because he murdered 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.
So the king summoned the Gibeonites, and spoke to 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 to them, but Saul sought to exterminate them in his zeal for 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.
And David said to the Gibeonites, "What can I do for you? And how can I make atonement, that you may bless the inheritance of Jehovah?"
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.
The Gibeonites said to him, "It is not a matter of silver or gold between us and Saul or his house, nor is it our place to put anyone to death in Israel." Then he said, "What do you want? For I will do it 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,
So they said to the king, "The man who opposed us and persecuted us, who meant to eradicate us from having a place anywhere in the territory 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 of his sons be delivered to us, and we will hang them before Jehovah at Gibeon on the mountain of Jehovah." And the king replied, "I will do it."
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 Mippibaal, the son of Jonathan, the son of Saul, because of Jehovah'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 bore to Saul, Armoni and Mippibaal; and the five sons of Merob the daughter of Saul, whom she bore to 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 on the mountain before Jehovah, and all seven of them fell together. And they were put to death in the first days of harvest at 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 herself on a rock, from the beginning of harvest until it rained on them from the sky. And she did not allow the birds of the sky to rest on them by day, nor the wild animals by night.
11 Wanni Riixiphaan intalli Ayyaa saajjatoon Saaʼol sun hojjette Daawititti himame;
It was told David what Rizpah the daughter of Aiah, the secondary wife 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.
Then David went and obtained the bones of Saul and the bones of his son Jonathan from the citizens of Jabesh Gilead, who had stolen them from the public square of Beth Shan, where the Philistines had hung them on the day that the Philistines killed Saul on Gilboa;
13 Daawitis lafee Saaʼolii fi lafee Yoonaataan ilma Saaʼol achii fide; lafeen warra ajjeefamanii fannifamaniis walitti qabame.
and he brought up from there the bones of Saul and the bones of Jonathan his son. And they gathered the bones of those who 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 he buried the bones of Saul and Jonathan in the land of Benjamin in Zela, in the tomb of Kish his father. And they performed all that the king commanded. After that God responded to prayers for the land.
15 Ammas Filisxeemotaa fi Israaʼel gidduutti waraanni ni kaʼe. Daawitis namoota isaa wajjin Filisxeemota waraanuuf duule; innis akka malee dadhabe.
The Philistines had war again with Israel; and David went down, and his servants with him, and fought against the Philistines. Now David became exhausted,
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 Dodo son of Joash, of the descendants of the Raphah, captured him. His spear weighed three hundred bronze shekels, and he was girded with a new sword, and he thought he could kill 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 helped him and struck the Philistine, and killed him. Then the men of David took an oath, saying, "You must not go out to battle with us again, so that you do not extinguish the lamp 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.
Now it came to pass after this that there was another battle with the Philistines at Gezer. Then Sibbekai the Hushathite killed Saph, a descendant of the Raphah.
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.
There was again war with the Philistines at Gob; and Elhanan the son of Jair the Bethlehemite killed 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.
There was another battle at Gath, where there was a man of great stature who had on six fingers on each hand, and six toes on each foot, twenty four in number, and he also was a descendant of Raphah.
21 Yommuu inni Israaʼelin tuttuqettis, Yoonaataan ilmi Shimeʼii obboleessi Daawit isa ajjeese.
When he defied Israel, Jonathan the son of Shimeah, David's brother, killed him.
22 Jarri afran kunneen sanyiiwwan Raafaa warra Gaati keessa turanii dha. Isaanis harka Daawitii fi harka namoota isaatiin dhuman.
These four were descendants of Raphah in Gath; and they fell by the hand of David, and by the hand of his servants.
