Abbootii Murtii 1

1 Erga Iyyaasuun duʼee booddee Israaʼeloonni, “Kanaʼaanota loluudhaaf eenyu dursee nuuf haa baʼu?” jedhanii Waaqayyoon gaafatan.

AND IT came to pass after the death of Joshua, that the children of Israel asked the LORD, saying: 'Who shall go up for us first against the Canaanites, to fight against them?'

2 Waaqayyos, “Yihuudaan dursee haa baʼu; kunoo, ani biyyattii dabarsee harka isaatti kenneera” jedhee deebiseef.

And LORD said: 'Judah shall go up; behold, I have delivered the land into his hand.'

3 Namoonni Yihuudaas obboloota isaanii ilmaan Simiʼooniin, “Kottaa gara lafa qooda keenyaatti Kanaʼaanota loluuf wajjin baanaa; nus gama keenyaan gara lafa qooda keessaniitti isin wajjin ni baanaa” jedhan. Kanaafuu namoonni Simiʼoon isaan wajjin baʼan.

And Judah said unto Simeon his brother: 'Come up with me into my lot, that we may fight against the Canaanites; and I likewise will go with thee into thy lot.' So Simeon went with him.

4 Yommuu Yihuudaan baʼettis Waaqayyo Kanaʼaanotaa fi Feerzota dabarsee harka isaaniitti kenne; isaanis iddoo Bezeq jedhamutti nama kuma kudhan fixan.

And Judah went up; and the LORD delivered the Canaanites and the Perizzites into their hand; and they smote of them in Bezek ten thousand men.

5 Achittis Adoonii-Bezeq arganii isa lolan; Kanaʼaanotaa fi Feerzotas moʼatan.

And they found Adoni-bezek in Bezek; and they fought against him, and they smote the Canaanites and the Perizzites.

6 Adoonii-Bezeq achii baqate; isaan garuu ariʼanii isa qaban; quba abbuudduu harkaatii fi quba abbuudduu miilla isaa irraa kutan.

But Adoni-bezek fled; and they pursued after him, and caught him, and cut off his thumbs and his great toes.

7 Ergasiis Adoonii-Bezeq, “Mootonni qubni abbuudduun harka isaaniitii fi qubni abbuudduun miilla isaanii irraa cirame torbaatamni waan maaddii koo jalatti harcaʼe funaannachaa turan. Amma garuu Waaqni waanuma ani isaanitti hojjedhe naa deebise” jedhe. Isaanis Yerusaalemitti isa fidan; innis achitti duʼe.

And Adoni-bezek said: 'Threescore and ten kings, having their thumbs and their great toes cut off, gathered food under my table; as I have done, so God hath requited me.' And they brought him to Jerusalem, and he died there.

8 Namoonni Yihuudaa Yerusaalemiinis akkasuma dhaʼanii qabatan. Magaalattiis goraadeedhaan dhaʼanii ibidda itti qabsiisan.

And the children of Judah fought against Jerusalem, and took it, and smote it with the edge of the sword, and set the city on fire.

And Judah went against the Canaanites that dwelt in Hebron — now the name of Hebron beforetime was Kiriath-arba — and they smote Sheshai, and Ahiman, and Talmai.

11 Achiis namoota biyya Debiir ishee dur Kiriyaati Seefer jedhamaa turte sana keessa jiraatanitti duulan.

And from thence he went against the inhabitants of Debir — now the name of Debir beforetime was Kiriath-sepher.

12 Kaalebis, “Ani nama Kiriyaati Seefer lolee qabatutti intala koo Aaksaa nan heerumsiisa” jedhe.

And Caleb said: 'He that smiteth Kiriath-sepher, and taketh it, to him will I give Achsah my daughter to wife.'

13 Obboleessi Kaaleb quxisuun, Otniiʼeel ilmi Qenaz magaalattii qabate; Kaalebis intala isaa Aaksaa isatti heerumsiise.

And Othniel the son of Kenaz, Caleb's younger brother, took it; and he gave him Achsah his daughter to wife.

14 Isheenis yeroo gara Otniiʼeel dhuftetti, akka inni abbaa ishee lafa qotiisaa kadhatu isa kakaafte. Kaalebis yommuu isheen harree ishee irraa buutetti, “Ani maal siif godhu?” jedhee ishee gaafate.

And it came to pass, when she came unto him, that she moved him to ask of her father a field; and she alighted from off her ass; and Caleb said unto her: 'What wouldest thou?'

15 Isheenis deebiftee, “Waan addaa tokko naa godhi. Akkuma Negeeb keessatti lafa naa kennite sana burqaawwan bishaaniis naa kenni” jetteen. Kaalebis burqaawwan oliitii fi gadii kenneef.

And she said unto him: 'Give me a blessing; for that thou hast set me in the Southland, give me therefore springs of water.' And Caleb gave her the Upper Springs and the Nether Springs.

And the watchers saw a man come forth out of the city, and they said unto him: 'Show us, we pray thee, the entrance into the city, and we will deal kindly with thee.'
