Abbootii Murtii 8
1 Namoonni Efreem, “Ati maaliif akkana nu goote? Yeroo Midiyaanin dhaʼuuf duultetti maaliif nu hin waamin?” jedhanii Gidewoon gaafatan. Akka malees isatti dheekkaman.
Abako-Efrayimi babuza uGidiyoni bathi, “Kungani usiphathe kanje na? Kungani ungasibizanga lapho ususiyakulwa lamaMidiyani?” Bamsola kakhulu.
2 Inni immoo akkana jedhee deebiseef; “Wanni ani hojjedhe yoo waan isin hojjettaniin wal bira qabame gatii maalii qaba? Qarmiin wayinii Efreem oomisha wayinii Abiiʼezer sana hunda hin caaluu?
Kodwa yena wabaphendula wathi, “Kuyini mina engikufezileyo okulingana lokwenu na? Amagrebisi ako-Efrayimi aseleyo ekuvuneni kawangcono kulamagrebisi esivuno esipheleleyo sako-Abhiyezeri na?
3 Waaqni hooggantoota Midiyaanotaa jechuunis Hereebii fi Zeʼeebin dabarsee harka keessanitti kenneera. Egaa ani waan isin hojjettaniin wajjin kan wal qixxaatu maal hojjechuun dandaʼa ture?” Yommuu inni waan kana jedhettis aariin isaan isatti aaran ni qabbanaaʼe.
UNkulunkulu unikele u-Orebhi loZebhi, abakhokheli bamaMidiyani, ezandleni zenu. Kuyini lokho engikwenzileyo lapho ngiqathaniswa lani?” Ngalokhu ukuthukuthela kwabo kwadeda.
4 Gidewoonii fi namoonni isa wajjin turan dhibbi sadan dhufanii Yordaanos ceʼan; isaan akka malee dadhaban iyyuu ittuma fufanii jara ariʼan.
UGidiyoni labantu bakhe abangamakhulu amathathu sebediniwe kodwa belokhu bexotshana lawo, bafika eJodani bayichapha.
5 Innis namoota Sukootiitiin, “Loltoota kootiif buddeena kennaa; isaan baayʼee na duraa dadhabaniiruutii; ani amma iyyuu mootota Midiyaanotaa jechuunis Zebaa fi Zalmunaa ariʼaa jira” jedhe.
Wasesithi ebantwini baseSukhothi, “Phanini amabutho ami izinkwa; akhathele, njalo ngisaxotshana loZebha kanye loZalimuna, amakhosi aseMidiyani.”
6 Qondaaltonni Sukoot garuu, “Loltoota keetiif nu buddeena kan kenninu ati Zebaa fi Zalmunaa harka keetti galfatteertaa?” jedhaniin.
Kodwa izikhulu zaseSukhothi zathi, “Usulazo mathupha yini izandla zikaZebha loZalimuna? Kungani amabutho akho kumele siwanike izinkwa?”
7 Gidewoonis deebisee, “Tole kaa, yommuu Waaqayyo dabarsee Zebaa fi Zalmunaa harka kootti kennutti ani qoraattii gammoojjiitii fi arangamaadhaan foon keessan ciccira” jedheen.
UGidiyoni waphendula wathi, “Ngenxa yalokho, lapho uThixo esenikele uZebha loZalimuna esandleni sami, ngizaklaya imizimba yenu ngameva asenkangala.”
8 Achiis gara namoota Phenuuʼeel dhaqee akkuma warra duraa sana kadhatetti isaanis gaafate; isaan garuu akkuma warri Sukoot deebisanitti deebii kennan.
Esuka lapho waya ePheniweli, wenza isicelo esifanayo kubo, kodwa baphendula njengabantu beSukhothi.
9 Kanaafuu inni namoota Phenuuʼeeliin, “Ani yeroo moʼadhee deebiʼutti gamoo kana nan jigsa” jedhe.
Ngakho wathi ebantwini basePheniweli, “Ekuphendukeni kwami senginqobile, ngizawudiliza umphotshongo lo.”
10 Yeroo sanatti Zebaa fi Zalmunaan loltoota isaanii kanneen kuma kudha shanitti hedaman wajjin iddoo Qarqari jedhamu turan; isaan kunneenis loltoota namoota baʼa biiftuutii walitti qabaman keessaa hafan hundaa dha; warri goraadee hidhatan kumni kudha lama dhumanii turaniitii.
Ngalesosikhathi uZebha loZalimuna babeseKhakhori lebutho labantu ababephosa babe zinkulungwane ezilitshumi lanhlanu, ababesele emabuthweni asempumalanga; izinkulungwane ezilikhulu lamatshumi amabili zababesilwa ngenkemba zasezifile.
11 Gidewoonis karaa warra baʼa Noobaahiitii fi Yogbihaatiin dunkaana keessa jiraatanii baʼee loltoota homaa hin birʼatin dhaʼe; raayyaan waraanaa sun of dagatee tureetii.
UGidiyoni wahamba ngendlela yamasili empumalanga kweNobha leJogibheha wahlasela ibutho elalilibele.
12 Mootonni Midiyaan lamaan jechuunis Zebaa fi Zalmunaan ni baqatan; Gidewoon garuu ariʼee isaan qabate; loltoota isaaniis gargari bittinneesse.
UZebha loZalimuna, amakhosi womabili aseMidiyani, babaleka, kodwa waxotshana labo wababamba, wawachitha wonke amabutho abo.
13 Ergasii Gidewoon ilmi Yooʼaash karaa Malkaa Herees baʼee duulaa gale.
Emva kwalokho uGidiyoni indodana kaJowashi wabuyela evela empini ngoKhalo lwaseHeresi.
14 Innis dargaggeessa Sukoot tokko qabee qorate; dargaggeessi sunis maqaa qondaaltota Sukootii fi maanguddoota magaalattii walumatti maqaa nama torbaatamii torba barreessee kenneef.
Wabamba ijaha laseSukhothi walibuzabuza, ijaha lelo lamlobela amabizo eziphathamandla zaseSukhothi ezingamatshumi ayisikhombisa, abadala bomuzi.
15 Gidewoonis dhufee namoota Sukootiin, “Zebaa fi Zalmunaan isin, ‘Nu namoota kee warra dadhabaniif buddeena kan kenninu ati Zaabiheelii fi Zalmunaa harka keetti galfatteertaa?’ jettanii waaʼee isaanii natti qoostan sun kunoo ti” jedhe.
UGidiyoni wafika wathi ebantwini baseSukhothi, “Nangu uZebha loZalimuna elalingichothoza ngabo lisithi, ‘Usulazo yini izandla zikaZebha loZalimuna? Kungani amabutho akho akhatheleyo kumele siwanike izinkwa na?’”
16 Innis maanguddoota magaalaa sanaa fuudhee qoraattii fi arangamaa gammoojjiitiin adabuudhaan namoota Sukootiitiif barumsa kenne.
Wathatha abadala bomuzi wasefundisa amadoda aseSukhothi isifundo ngokubajezisa ngameva asenkangala.
17 Gamoo Phenuuʼeelis jigsee namoota magaalattii fixe.
Wadiliza lomphotshongo wasePheniweli wabulala amadoda akulowomuzi.
18 Ergasiis inni, “Namoonni isin Taabooritti fixxan warra akkamiitii?” jedhee Zebaa fi Zalmunaa gaafate. Isaanis, “Namootuma akka keessanii kanneen hundi isaanii ilmaan mootii fafakkaatanii dha” jedhaniin.
Wabuza uZebha loZalimuna wathi, “Ngabantu abanjani labo elababulalayo eThabhori?” Baphendula bathi, “Ngabantu abanjengawe, lowo lalowo efana lenkosana.”
19 Gidewoonis deebisee, “Isaan obboloota koo ilmaanuma haadha kootii turan. Dhugaa Waaqayyo jiraataa, utuu isin isaan ajjeesuu baattanii ani isin hin ajjeesu ture” jedhe.
UGidiyoni waphendula wathi, “Labobantu babengabafowethu, amadodana kamama. Ngeqiniso njengoba uThixo ephila, aluba labayekela bephila, kade bengingeyikulibulala.”
20 Innis gara Yeteer ilma isaa hangaftichaatti garagalee, “Kaʼiitii isaan fixi!” jedheen. Yeeteer garuu sababii ijoollee taʼeef sodaatee goraadee isaa hin luqqifanne.
Wasephendukela kuJetha, indodana yakhe endala, wathi, “Babulale!” Kodwa uJetha kayihwatshanga inkemba yakhe, ngoba wayengumfanyana esesaba.
21 Ergasiis Zebaa fi Zalmunaan, “Kaʼiitii atumti nu ajjeesi; ‘Jabinni namaa akkuma dhagna isaatii’” jedhaniin. Gidewoonis kaʼee isaan ajjeese; faaya morma gaalawwan isaaniis fudhate.
UZebha loZalimuna bathi, “Woza, usibulale wena ngokwakho. ‘Njengoba indoda injalo, anjalo lamandla ayo.’” Ngakho uGidiyoni wasondela phambili wababulala, wasethatha imiceciso entanyeni zamakamela abo.
22 Namoonni Israaʼelis Gidewooniin, “Ati waan harka Midiyaanotaa jalaa nu baafteef ati, ilmi keetii fi ilmi ilma keetii nu bulchaa” jedhan.
Abako-Israyeli bathi kuGidiyoni, “Sibuse wena, lendodana yakho kanye lendodana yendodana yakho ngoba usisindisile ezandleni zamaMidiyani.”
23 Gidewoon garuu, “Ani isin hin bulchu; ilmi koos isin hin bulchu. Waaqayyotu isin bulcha” isaaniin jedhe.
Kodwa uGidiyoni wathi kubo, “Mina kangiyikulibusa, lendodana yami kayiyikulibusa. UThixo uzalibusa.”
24 Innis, “Ani waa tokko isin kadhadha; kunis akka tokkoon tokkoon keessan qooda boojuu keessanii irraa lootii naa kennitanii dha” jedhe. Lootii warqee kaaʼachuun bartee Ishmaaʼeelootaa tureetii.
Wabuya wathi, “Ngilesicelo esisodwa, ukuthi omunye lomunye wenu angiphe icici esabelweni sempango yenu.” (Ukufaka amacici egolide kwakungumkhuba wama-Ishumayeli.)
25 Isaanis, “Nu gammachuudhaan kennina” jedhanii deebisan. Kanaafuu wayyaa lafa irra diriirsanii tokkoon tokkoon namaa boojuu isaa irraa lootii itti darbate.
Baphendula bathi, “Sizathaba ukukunika wona.” Ngakho bendlala ingubo, kwathi umuntu ngamunye waphosela kuyo icici lempango yakhe.
26 Amartiin warqee kan inni kadhate saqilii kuma tokkoo fi dhibba torba yookaan kiiloo giraamii kudha sagalii fi walakkaa ulfaata ture; kunis waan mormatti hidhatan, uffata diimaa dhiilgee kan mootonni Midiyaan uffatanii fi foncaa morma gaalawwan isaanii irra ture hin dabalatu.
Isisindo samacici egolide ayewacelile saba ngamashekeli angamakhulu alitshumi lesikhombisa, kungabalwa izigqizo lemigaxo lezembatho eziyibubende ezigqokwa ngamakhosi aseMidiyani loba amaketane ayesezintanjeni zamakamela awo.
27 Gidewoonis warqee sanaan dirata tolchee magaalaa itti dhalate Ofraa keessa kaaʼe. Israaʼeloonni hundis achitti efuudicha waaqeffachuudhaan sagaagalan. Kunis Gidewooniif maatii isaatti kiyyoo taʼe.
UGidiyoni wenza isithombe ngegolide lelo, wasibeka e-Ofira, umuzi wakibo. Bonke abako-Israyeli bazingcolisa ngokusikhonza khonapho, njalo saba ngumjibila kuGidiyoni labendlu yakhe.
28 Midiyaanonnis akkasiin fuula Israaʼelootaa duratti moʼataman; lammatas mataa isaanii ol hin qabanne. Biyyattiinis bara Gidewoon keessa waggaa afurtama nagaa argatte.
IMidiyani yanqotshwa kanjalo ngabako-Israyeli njalo kayizange ivuse ikhanda futhi. Ngezinsuku zokuphila kukaGidiyoni ilizwe laba lokuthula iminyaka engamatshumi amane.
29 Yerub-Baʼaal ilmi Yooʼaash achi jiraachuuf gara mana ofii isaatti deebiʼe.
UJerubhi-Bhali indodana kaJowashi wabuyela ekhaya ukuyahlala khona.
30 Inni sababii niitota baayʼee fuudheef ilmaan torbaatama qaba ture.
Wayelamadodana angamatshumi ayisikhombisa angawakhe ngoba wayelabafazi abanengi.
31 Saajjatoon isaa kan Sheekem keessa jiraachaa turtes ilma deesseefii turte; innis Abiimelek jedhee isa moggaase.
Umkakhe weceleni, owayehlala eShekhemu, laye wamzalela indodana ayithi ngu-Abhimelekhi.
32 Gidewoon ilmi Yooʼaash bara dheeraa jiraatee duʼe. Innis Ofraa biyya Abiiʼezerootaa keessatti, lafa awwaala abbaa isaa Yooʼaashitti awwaalame.
UGidiyoni indodana kaJowashi wafa eseluphele kakhulu wangcwatshwa ethuneni likayise uJowashi e-Ofira yama-Abhiyezeri.
33 Akkuma Gidewoon duʼeen Israaʼeloonni amma illee Baʼaal wajjin sagaagalan. Baʼaal Beriitinis Waaqa isaanii godhatanii
Masinyane nje uGidiyoni esanda kufa abako-Israyeli bazingcolisa njalo ngokukhonza oBhali. Bamisa uBhali-Bherithi njengonkulunkulu wabo
34 Waaqayyo Waaqa isaanii kan harka diinota isaanii hundumaa jalaa isaan baase sana dagatan.
kabaze bamkhumbula uThixo uNkulunkulu wabo owayebahlenge ezandleni zezitha zabo ezinhlangothini zonke.
35 Isaanis maatii Yerub-Baʼaaliif jechuunis Gidewooniif waan gaarii inni isaaniif godhe hunda yaadatanii arjummaa hin gooneef.
Njalo kababanga lomusa kwabendlu kaJerubhi-Bhali (uGidiyoni) ngezinto zonke ezinhle ayebenzele zona.
