Abbootii Murtii 3

1 Saboonni Waaqayyo Israaʼeloota waraana Kanaʼaan keessatti deemsifame kam iyyuu irratti hirmaatanii hin beekin hunda qoruuf jedhee idduma isaan turanitti hambise kanneenii dha;

Now these are the nations which the LORD left, to prove Israel by them, even as many as had not known all the wars of Canaan;

2 innis akka Israaʼeloonni kanaan dura waraana keessatti hirmaatanii hin beekin muuxannoo argataniif waan kana godhe;

only that the generations of the children of Israel might know, to teach them war, at the least such as beforetime knew nothing thereof;

3 kanneen utuu hin baʼin achumatti hafanis: bulchitoota Filisxeemotaa shanan, Kanaʼaanota hunda, Siidoonotaa fi Hiiwota Tulluu Baʼaal Hermoonii jalqabanii hamma balbala Hamaatitti gaarran Libaanoon gubbaa jiraatanii dha.

namely, the five lords of the Philistines, and all the Canaanites, and the Zidonians, and the Hivites that dwelt in mount Lebanon, from mount Baal-hermon unto the entrance of Hamath.

4 Isaan kunneen warra Israaʼeloonni ajaja Waaqayyoo kan inni karaa Museetiin abbootii isaaniif kennee ture sana eeguu fi eeguu baachuu isaanii ittiin qoramanii ilaalamaniif hambifamanii dha.

And they were there, to prove Israel by them, to know whether they would hearken unto the commandments of the LORD, which He commanded their fathers by the hand of Moses.

5 Kanaafuu Israaʼeloonni Kanaʼaanota, Heetota, Amoorota, Feerzota, Hiiwotaa fi Yebuusota gidduu jiraatan.

And the children of Israel dwelt among the Canaanites, the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites;

6 Isaanis intallan jaraa fuudhan; intallan ofii isaanii immoo ilmaan isaaniitti heerumsiisan; waaqota isaaniis ni waaqeffatan.

and they took their daughters to be their wives, and gave their own daughters to their sons, and served their gods.

7 Israaʼeloonni fuula Waaqayyoo duratti waan hamaa hojjetan; Waaqayyo Waaqa isaanii irraanfatanii Baʼaalii fi Asheeraa waaqeffatan.

And the children of Israel did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, and forgot the LORD their God, and served the Baalim and the Asheroth.

8 Aariin Waaqayyo Israaʼelootatti bobaʼe; kanaafuu mootii Phaadaan Arraam Kuushan-Rishaataayimitti dabarsee isaan gurgure; Israaʼeloonnis waggaa saddeeti isa jalatti bulan.

Therefore the anger of the LORD was kindled against Israel, and He gave them over into the hand of Cushan-rishathaim king of Aram-naharaim; and the children of Israel served Cushan-rishathaim eight years.

9 Waaqayyo garuu yeroo isaan gara isaatti iyyatanitti nama isaan furu tokko jechuunis obboleessa Kaaleb quxisuu, Otniiʼeel ilma Qenaz sana akka inni isaan furuuf kaaseef.

And when the children of Israel cried unto the LORD, the LORD raised up a saviour to the children of Israel, who saved them, even Othniel the son of Kenaz, Caleb's younger brother.

10 Hafuurri Waaqayyoo isa irra buʼe; kanaafuu inni abbaa murtii Israaʼelootaa taʼee duulaaf baʼe. Waaqayyos Kuushan-Rishaataayim mooticha Phaadaan Arraam sana dabarsee harka Onniiʼelitti kenne; innis isa moʼate.

And the spirit of the LORD came upon him, and he judged Israel; and he went out to war, and the LORD delivered Cushan-rishathaim king of Aram into his hand; and his hand prevailed against Cushan-rishathaim.

11 Kanaafuu biyyi sun hamma Otniiʼeel ilmi Qenaz duʼutti waggaa afurtama nagaa argate.

And the land had rest forty years. And Othniel the son of Kenaz died.

12 Ammas Israaʼeloonni fuula Waaqayyoo duratti waan hamaa hojjetan; sababii isaan waan hamaa kana hojjetaniif Waaqayyo akka Egloon mootiin Moʼaab harka isaa isaanitti cimsuuf dabarsee isaan kenne.

And the children of Israel again did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD; and the LORD strengthened Eglon the king of Moab against Israel, because they had done that which was evil in the sight of the LORD.

13 Innis Amoonotaa fi Amaaleqoota walitti qabatee Israaʼeloota waraane; isaanis Magaalaa Meexxii qabatan.

And he gathered unto him the children of Ammon and Amalek; and he went and smote Israel, and they possessed the city of palm-trees.

14 Israaʼeloonni waggaa kudha saddeet Egloon mootii Moʼaab jalatti bulan.

And the children of Israel served Eglon the king of Moab eighteen years.

15 Israaʼeloonni ammas gara Waaqayyootti iyyatan; innis nama isaan furu tokko jechuunis Eehuud nama harka bitaachaa, ilma Geeraa sana gosa Beniyaam keessaa isaanii kaase. Israaʼeloonnis akka inni Egloon mootii Moʼaab sanaaf gibira geessu Naaʼodin ergan.

But when the children of Israel cried unto the LORD, the LORD raised them up a saviour, Ehud the son of Gera, the Benjamite, a man left-handed; and the children of Israel sent a present by him unto Eglon the king of Moab.

16 Eehuudis goraadee gama lamaan qara qabu kan meetira walakkaa dheeratu tolfatee uffata isaa jalaan tafa mirgaatti hidhate.

And Ehud made him a sword which had two edges, of a cubit length; and he girded it under his raiment upon his right thigh.

17 Gibira sana Egloon mooticha Moʼaab namicha akka malee furdaa ture sanaaf dhiʼeesse.

And he offered the present unto Eglon king of Moab — now Eglon was a very fat man.

18 Naaʼod erga gibira sana dhiʼeessee booddee namoota baataniifii dhufan geggeesse.

And when he had made an end of offering the present, he sent away the people that bore the present.

19 Inni garuu iddoo dhagaan baafamu kan Gilgaal biratti argamu bira gaʼee duubatti deebiʼuudhaan, “Yaa mootii ani waan dhoksaatti sitti himu tokko qaba” jedhe. Mootichis, “Calʼisaa!” jedhe; warri isa bira turan hundinuus isa dhiisanii baʼan.

But he himself turned back from the quarries that were by Gilgal, and said: 'I have a secret errand unto thee, O king.' And he said: 'Keep silence.' And all that stood by him went out from him.

20 Utuu mootichi kutaa mana isaa iddoo qabbanaaʼaa tokko kophaa isaa taaʼee jiruu Eehuud itti dhiʼaatee, “Ani ergaa Waaqa biraa siif ergame qaba” jedheen. Egloonis teessoo isaa irraa ol kaʼe;

And Ehud came unto him; and he was sitting by himself alone in his cool upper chamber. And Ehud said: 'I have a message from God unto thee.' And he arose out of his seat.

21 Eehuud harka isaa bitaa diriirsee tafa mirga isaa irraa goraadee luqqifatee garaa mootichaa keessa fullaase.

And Ehud put forth his left hand, and took the sword from his right thigh, and thrust it into his belly.

22 Qabannoon isaas utuu hin hafin garaa seenee sibiilli isaa duubaan baʼe. Naaʼod goraadicha garaa mootichaa keessaa hin buqqifne; moorris goraadee sana haguugee ture.

And the haft also went in after the blade; and the fat closed upon the blade, for he drew not the sword out of his belly; and it came out behind.

23 Ergasiis Eehuud Egloonitti balbala cufee karaa borootiin baʼee qajeele.

Then Ehud went forth into the porch, and shut the doors of the upper chamber upon him, and locked them.

24 Erga Eehuud deemee booddee tajaajiltoonni mootichaa dhufan; balbala kutaa mana ol aanuus akkuma inni cufamee jirutti argan. Isaanis, “Tarii inni mana boolii gad taaʼee jira taʼa” jedhan.

Now when he was gone out, his servants came; and they saw, and, behold, the doors of the upper chamber were locked; and they said: 'Surely he is covering his feet in the cabinet of the cool chamber.'

25 Hamma dadhabanittis eegan; garuu waan inni utuu balbala hin banin tureef furtuu fudhatanii balbala banan. Kunoo gooftaan isaanii duʼee lafa irra diriiree ture.

And they tarried till they were ashamed; and, behold, he opened not the doors of the upper chamber; therefore they took the key, and opened them; and, behold, their lord was fallen down dead on the earth.

26 Utuma isaan dhaabatanii eegaa jiranuu Eehuud fagaatee deeme. Karaa lafa dhagaan itti soofamuutiin darbee gara Seʼiiraatti baqate.

And Ehud escaped while they lingered, having passed beyond the quarries, and escaped unto Seirah.

27 Innis yommuu achi gaʼetti biyya gaaraa Efreem keessatti malakata afuufe; Israaʼeloonnis hooggantummaa isaatiin biyya gaaraa sana irraa isa wajjin gad buʼan.

And it came to pass, when he was come, that he blew a horn in the hill-country of Ephraim, and the children of Israel went down with him from the hill-country, and he before them.

28 Eehuudis, “Diina keessan Moʼaabin Waaqayyo dabarsee harka keessanitti isinii kenneeraatii na duukaa buʼaa!” jedheen. Isaanis malkaa Yordaanos kan gara Moʼaabitti geessu sana qabatanii nama tokko illee achiin darbuu dhowwan.

And he said unto them: 'Follow after me; for the LORD hath delivered your enemies the Moabites into your hand.' And they went down after him, and took the fords of the Jordan against the Moabites, and suffered not a man to pass over.

29 Yeroo sanatti Moʼaabota hundi isaanii jajjaboo fi humna qabeeyyii taʼan kuma kudhan fixan; namni tokko iyyuu isaan jalaa hin baane.

And they smote of Moab at that time about ten thousand men, every lusty man, and every man of valour; and there escaped not a man.

30 Gaafa sana Moʼaab harka Israaʼelitti galfamte; biyyattiinis waggaa saddeettamaaf nagaa argatte.

So Moab was subdued that day under the hand of Israel. And the land had rest fourscore years.

31 Eehuuditti aanee Shamgaar ilmi Anaat kaʼe; innis ulee ittiin qotiyyoo tuttuqaniin Filisxeemota dhibba jaʼa fixe. Akkasiinis Israaʼeloota baraare.

And after him was Shamgar the son of Anath, who smote of the Philistines six hundred men with an ox-goad; and he also saved Israel.
