2 Saamuʼeel 1
1 Saaʼol erga duʼee booddee, Daawit Amaaleqoota rukutuu irraa deebiʼee Siiqlaag keessa guyyaa lama ture.
And it came to pass after Saul was dead, that David returned from striking Amalec, and David abode two days in Sekelac.
2 Guyyaa sadaffaatti namichi tokko qubata Saaʼolii dhufe; innis wayyaa isaa tarsaasee mataa isaatti awwaara firfirfatee ture. Yommuu Daawit bira gaʼettis ulfina isaaf kennuuf jedhee addaan lafatti gombifame.
And it came to pass on the third day, that, behold, a man came from the camp, from the people of Saul, and his garments were tore, and earth [was] upon his head: and it came to pass when he went in to David, that he fell upon the earth, and did obeisance to him.
3 Daawitis, “Ati eessaa dhufte?” jedhee isa gaafate. Namichi immoo, “Ani qubata Israaʼelootaa keessaan baqadhee dhufe” jedhe.
And David said to him, Whence come you? and he said to him, I have escaped out of the camp of Israel.
4 Daawitis, “Maaltu dhalate? Mee natti himi” jedhee gaafate. Innis, “Namoonni adda waraanaatii ni baqatan. Baayʼeen isaanii harcaʼaniiru; duʼaniirus. Saaʼolii fi ilmi isaa Yoonaataanis duʼaniiru” jedheen.
And David said to him, What [is] the matter? tell me. And he said, The people fled out of the battle, and many of the people have fallen and are dead, and Saul and Jonathan his son are dead.
5 Kana irratti Daawit dargaggeessa oduu kana fideen, “Akka Saaʼolii fi ilmi isaa Yoonaataan duʼan ati akkamitti beekte?” jedhe.
And David said to the young man who brought him the tidings, How know you that Saul and Jonathan his son are dead?
6 Dargaggeessi sunis akkana jedhee deebise; “Akkuma tasaa ani Tulluu Gilboʼaatti ol baʼeen ture; Saaʼolis eeboo isaatti irkatee achi ture; gaariiwwan lolaatii fi abbootiin fardaa isa bira gaʼan.
And the young man that brought the tidings, said to him, I happened accidentally to be upon mount Gelbue; and, behold, Saul was leaning upon his spear, and, behold, the chariots and captains of horse pressed hard upon him.
7 Innis yommuu garagalee na argetti na waame; anis, ‘Maal siif ajajamu?’ jedhee isa gaafadhe.
And he looked behind him, and saw me, and called me; and I said, Behold, [here am] I.
8 “Innis, ‘Ati eenyu?’ jedhee na gaafate. “Ani immoo, ‘Ani nama Amaaleq’ jedheen deebise.
And he said to me, Who are you? and I said, I am an Amalekite.
9 “Ergasiis inni, ‘Narra dhaabadhuu na ajjeesi! Waan lubbuun na keessaa hin baʼiniif ani akka malee dhiphachaan jiraatii’ naan jedhe.
And he said to me, Stand, I pray you, over me, and kill me, for a dreadful darkness has come upon me, for all my life [is] in me.
10 “Kanaafuu ani sababiin akka inni erga kufee hin fayyine beekeef isa irra dhaabadheen isa ajjeese. Gonfoo mataa isaatii fi bitawoo harka isaa fuudhee gooftaa kootiif fideera.”
So I stood over him and killed him, because I knew he would not live after he was fallen; and I took the crown that was upon his head, and the bracelet that was upon his arm, and I have brought them hither to my lord.
11 Daawitii fi namoonni isa wajjin turan hundi wayyaa of irraa baasanii tatarsaasan.
And David laid hold of his garments, and tore them; and all the men who were with him tore their garments.
12 Isaanis Saaʼolii fi Yoonaataaniif, loltoota Waaqayyootii fi mana Israaʼel hundaaf gaddanii ni booʼan; hamma galgalaatti ni sooman; isaan goraadeedhaan dhumaniiruutii.
And they lamented, and wept, and fasted till evening, for Saul and for Jonathan his son, and for the people of Juda, and for the house of Israel, because they were struck with the sword.
13 Daawitis, “Ati eessaa dhufte?” jedhee dargaggeessicha oduu fide sana gaafate. Innis, “Ani ilma Amaaleq, namicha galtuu taʼe tokkoo ti” jedhee deebise.
And David said to the young man who brought the tidings to him, Whence are you? and he said, I am the son of an Amalekite sojourner.
14 Daawit immoo, “Yoos ati dibamaa Waaqayyoo tokko galaafachuuf harka kee ol fudhachuu maaliif hin sodaatin ree?” jedhee gaafate.
And David said to him, How was it you were not afraid to lift your hand to destroy the anointed of the Lord?
15 Ergasii Daawit namoota isaa keessaa tokko waamee, “Dhaqiitii dhaʼii isa ajjeesi!” jedhe. Innis isa dhaʼe; namichis ni duʼe.
And David called one of his young men, and said, Go and fall upon him: and he struck him, and he died.
16 Daawitis, “Sababii afaanumti kee, ‘Ani nama Waaqayyo isa dibe ajjeeseera’ jedhee dhugaa sitti baʼeef dhiigni kee matuma keetti deebiʼa” jedheen.
And David said to him, Your blood [be] upon your own head; for your mouth has testified against you, saying, I have slain the anointed of the Lord.
17 Daawit faaruu kanaan Saaʼolii fi ilma Saaʼol Yoonaataaniif booʼe;
And David lamented with this lamentation over Saul and over Jonathan his son.
18 akkasumas faaruu iddaa jedhamu kana akka namoonni Yihuudaa barsiisfaman ajaje; kunis kitaaba Yaashaar keessatti barreeffameera. Innis:
And he gave orders to teach it the sons of Juda: behold, it is written in the book of Right.
19 “Yaa Israaʼel, ulfinni kee gaarran kee irratti ajjeefameera. Namoonni jajjaboon akkamitti akkas kukkufan!
Set up a pillar, O Israel, for the slain that died upon your high places: how are the mighty fallen!
20 “Waan kana Gaati keessatti hin dubbatinaa; daandiiwwan Ashqaloon irrattis hin labsinaa; yoo kanaa achii intallan Filisxeemotaa ni gammadu; intallan warra dhagna hin qabatiniis ni ililchu.
Tell it not in Geth, and tell it not as glad tidings in the streets of Ascalon, lest the daughters of the Philistines rejoice, lest the daughters of the uncircumcised triumph.
21 “Yaa tulluuwwan Gilboʼaa, fixeensi isin irra hin buʼin yookaan bokkaan isinitti hin roobin; yookaan lafti qotiisaa midhaan aarsaaf dhiʼeeffamu biqilchu isin keessatti hin argamin. Gaachanni nama jabaa achitti xuraaʼeeraatii; gaachanni Saaʼol siʼachi zayitii hin dibamu.
You mountains of Gelbue, let not dew no rain descend upon you, nor fields of first fruits [be upon you], for there the shield of the mighty ones has been grievously assailed; the shield of Saul was not anointed with oil.
22 “Dhiiga namoota dhumanii keessaa, foon namoota jajjaboo irraa, iddaan Yoonaataan duubatti hin deebine; goraadeen Saaʼolis akkasumaan hin deebine.
From the blood of the slain, and from the fat of the mighty, the bow of Jonathan returned not empty; and the sword of Saul turned not back empty.
23 Saaʼolii fi Yoonaataan yeroo lubbuun jiraachaa turanitti, jaallatamoo namni isaanitti gammadu turan; isaan yeroo duʼaattis gargari hin baane. Isaan risaa caalaa ariifatu, leenca caalaas jabaatu turan.
Saul and Jonathan, the beloved and the beautiful, were not divided: comely [were they] in their life, and in their death they were not divided: [they were] swifter than eagles, and they were stronger than lions.
24 “Yaa intallan Israaʼel, Saaʼol isa wayyaa bildiimaa fi uffata haphii isinitti uffise, kan wayyaa keessan warqeedhaan miidhagse, sanaaf booʼaa.
Daughters of Israel, weep for Saul, who clothed you with scarlet together with your adorning, who added golden ornaments to your apparel.
25 “Namoonni jajjaboon akkamitti waraana keessatti kufu! Yoonaataan gaarran keessan irratti ajjeefameera.
How are the mighty fallen in the midst of the battle! O Jonathan, even the slain ones upon your high places!
26 Yaa Yoonaataan obboleessa ko, ani siif gaddeera; ati anaaf nama akka malee jaallatamaa turte. Jaalalli ati naaf qabdu dinqisiisaa ture; jaalala dubartii caalaa dinqisiisaa ture.
I am grieved for you, my brother Jonathan; you were very lovely to me; your love to me was wonderful beyond the love of women.
27 “Namoonni jajjaboon akkamitti kufan! Miʼoonni lolaa balleeffamaniiru!”
How are the mighty fallen, and the weapons of war perished!
