2 Saamuʼeel 5

1 Gosoonni Israaʼel hundi Kebroonitti Daawit bira dhufanii akkana jedhan; “Nu foonii fi dhiiga kee ti.

Then came all the tribes of Israel to Dauid vnto Hebron, and said thus, Beholde, we are thy bones and thy flesh.

2 Duraan yeroo Saaʼol mootii keenya turetti, namni duula loltoota Israaʼel hoogganu siʼi ture. Waaqayyos, ‘Situ saba koo Israaʼelin tiksa; bulchaa isaaniis ni taata’ siin jedhee ture.”

And in time past when Saul was our King, thou leddest Israel in and out: and the Lord hath sayde to thee, Thou shalt feede my people Israel, and thou shalt be a captaine ouer Israel.

3 Yommuu maanguddoonni Israaʼel hundi Kebroonitti Daawit mooticha bira dhufanitti mootichi Kebroonitti fuula Waaqayyoo duratti isaan wajjin kakuu gale; isaanis Daawitin dibanii Israaʼel irratti mootii isa godhan.

So all the Elders of Israel came to the King to Hebron: and King Dauid made a couenant with them in Hebron before the Lord: and they anoynted Dauid King ouer Israel.

4 Daawit yeroo mootii taʼetti umuriin isaa waggaa soddoma ture; innis waggaa afurtama bulche.

Dauid was thirtie yeere olde when he began to reigne: and hee reigned fortie yeere.

5 Kebroon keessatti waggaa torbaa fi jiʼa jaʼa Yihuudaa irratti mootii ture; Yerusaalem keessatti immoo waggaa soddomii sadii guutummaa Israaʼelii fi Yihuudaa irratti mootii taʼe.

In Hebron hee reigned ouer Iudah seuen yeere, and sixe moneths: and in Ierusalem hee reigned thirtie and three yeeres ouer all Israel and Iudah.

6 Mootichii fi namoonni isaa Yebuusota achi jiraatan loluuf gara Yerusaalemitti ni qajeelan. Yebuusonnis Daawitiin, “Ati as hin seentu; jaamaa fi naafni iyyuu of irraa si deebisu” jedhan. Isaan, “Daawit as seenuu hin dandaʼu” jedhanii yaadan.

The King also and his men went to Ierusalem vnto the Iebusites, the inhabitants of the land: who spake vnto Dauid, saying, Except thou take away the blinde and the lame, thou shalt not come in hither: thinking that Dauid coulde not come thither.

7 Taʼus Daawit daʼannoo Xiyoon Magaalaa Daawit ni qabate.

But Dauid tooke the fort of Zion: this is the citie of Dauid.

8 Daawitis gaafas, “Namni Yebuusota dhaʼuuf baʼu kam iyyuu, ‘naafotaa fi jaamota’ lubbuu Daawitiin jibbaman bira gaʼuuf karaa boʼoo bishaaniitiin darbuu qaba” jedhe. Sababiin isaan, “‘Jaamonnii fi naafonni’ masaraa mootii hin seenan” jedhaniif kanuma.

Nowe Dauid had sayd the same day, Whosoeuer smiteth the Iebusites, and getteth vp to the gutters and smiteth the lame and blinde, which Dauids soule hateth, I will preferre him: therefore they saide, The blinde and the lame shall not come into that house.

9 Daawitis iddoo jireenya isaa daʼannoo sana godhatee Magaalaa Daawit jedhee moggaase. Inni Miiloodhaa jalqabee naannoo ishee marsee ijaare.

So Dauid dwelt in that forte, and called it the citie of Dauid, and Dauid built rounde about it, from Millo, and inward.

10 Innis sababii Waaqayyo Waaqni Waan Hunda Dandaʼu isa wajjin tureef yeruma yeroon jabaachaa dhufe.

And Dauid prospered and grewe: for the Lord God of hostes was with him.

11 Yeroo kanatti Hiiraam mootiin Xiiroos ergamoota wajjin muka birbirsaa, namoota muka soofanii fi warra dhagaa soofan gara Daawit erge; isaanis Daawitiif masaraa ijaaran.

Hiram also king of Tyrus sent messengers to Dauid, and cedar trees, and carpenters, and masons for walles: and they built Dauid an house.

12 Daawitis akka Waaqayyo saba Israaʼel irratti mootii godhee jabeessee isa dhaabee fi akka saba Israaʼeliif jedhee mootummaa isaa guddiseef ni beeke.

Then Dauid knewe that the Lord had stablished him King ouer Israel, and that he had exalted his kingdome for his people Israels sake.

13 Daawitis erga Kebroonii baʼee booddee saajjatoowwanii fi niitota biraa Yerusaalem keessatti fuudhe; ilmaanii fi intallan dabalataa dhalataniif.

And Dauid tooke him more concubines and wiues out of Ierusalem, after hee was come from Hebron, and more sonnes and daughters were borne to Dauid.

14 Maqaan ijoollee isaa kanneen achitti isaaf dhalataniis Shamuuʼaa, Shobaab, Naataan, Solomoon,

And these bee the names of the sonnes that were borne vnto him in Ierusale: Shammua, and Shobab, and Nathan, and Salomon,

15 Yibehaar, Eliishuuwaa, Nefeg, Yaafiiyaa,

And Ibhar, and Elishua, and Nepheg, and Iaphia,

16 Eliishaamaa, Eliyaadaa fi Eliiphelexi jedhamu.

And Elishama, and Eliada, and Eliphalet.

17 Filisxeemonni yommuu akka Daawit dibamee Israaʼel irratti mootii taʼe dhagaʼanitti, humna guutuudhaan isa barbaacha ol baʼan; Daawit garuu waan kana dhagaʼee gara daʼannoo jabaatti gad buʼe.

But when the Philistims hearde that they had anoynted Dauid King ouer Israel, all the Philistims came vp to seeke Dauid: and when Dauid heard, he went downe to a fort.

18 Yeroo kanatti Filisxeemonni dhufanii Sulula Refaayim keessa faffacaʼan;

But the Philistims came, and spred themselues in the valley of Rephaim.

19 kanaafuu Daawit, “Ani baʼee Filisxeemota dhaʼuu? Ati dabarsitee harka kootti isaan kennitaa?” jedhee Waaqayyoon gaafate. Waaqayyos, “Baʼi; ani dhugumaan Filisxeemota dabarsee harka keetti nan kennaatii” jedhee deebiseef.

Then Dauid asked counsel of the Lord, saying, Shall I goe vp to the Philistims? wilt thou deliuer them into mine handes? And the Lord answered Dauid, Goe vp: for I will doubtlesse deliuer the Philistims into thine handes.

20 Kanaafuu Daawit gara Baʼaal Pheraaziim dhaqe; achittis isaan moʼate. Innis, “Akkuma bishaan mana isaa cabsee yaaʼu sana Waaqayyo fuula koo duratti diinota koo cabsee baʼeera” jedhe. Kanaafuu iddoon sun Baʼaal Pheraaziim jedhamee waamame.

Then Dauid came to Baal-perazim, and smote them there, and sayde, The Lord hath deuided mine enemies asunder before mee, as waters be deuided asunder: therefore he called the name of that place, Baal-perazim.

21 Filisxeemonni waaqota isaanii tolfamoo achitti dhiisanii baqatan; Daawitii fi namoonni isaa immoo isaan fuudhanii deeman.

And there they left their images, and Dauid and his men burnt them.

22 Filisxeemonni amma illee dhufanii Sulula Refaayim keessa faffacaʼan;

Againe the Philistims came vp, and spred themselues in the valley of Rephaim.

23 kanaafuu Daawit Waaqayyoon gaafate; Waaqayyos akkana jedheen; “Kallattiidhaan itti hin baʼin; garuu duubaan isaan marsiitii muka qilxuu duratti isaan waraani.

And when Dauid asked counsell of the Lord, hee answered, Thou shalt not goe vp, but turne about behinde them, and come vpon them ouer against the mulberie trees.

24 Akkuma fiixee muka qilxuu irraan sagalee duulaa dhageesseen dafiitii baʼi; Waaqayyo loltoota Filisxeem dhaʼuudhaaf si dura baʼeera jechuudhaatii.”

And when thou hearest the noyse of one going in the toppes of the mulberie trees, then remoue: for then shall the Lord goe out before thee, to smite the hoste of the Philistims.

25 Kanaafuu Daawit akkuma Waaqayyo isa ajaje sana Gibeʼoon jalqabee hamma Geeziritti Filisxeemota dhaʼe.

Then Dauid did so as the Lord had commanded him, and smote the Philistims from Geba, vntil thou come to Gazer.
