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 sons of Israel asked of Yahweh, saying, —Who shall go up for us against the Canaanites, first, to make war upon them?
2 Waaqayyos, “Yihuudaan dursee haa baʼu; kunoo, ani biyyattii dabarsee harka isaatti kenneera” jedhee deebiseef.
And Yahweh said—Judah, shall go, —lo! I have delivered the land into his power.
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.
Then said Judah, unto Simeon his brother—Come up with me into the territory allotted me, and let us make war on the Canaanites, then will, I also, go with thee, into thy territory. 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 Yahweh delivered the Canaanites and the Perizzites into their hand, —and they smote 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 fought with him, —and 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 him, —and took 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.
Then said Adoni-bezek—Seventy kings, with their thumbs and great toes cut off, have been picking up crumbs under my table, as I have done, so, hath God requited me. And they brought him into Jerusalem, and he died there.
8 Namoonni Yihuudaa Yerusaalemiinis akkasuma dhaʼanii qabatan. Magaalattiis goraadeedhaan dhaʼanii ibidda itti qabsiisan.
And the sons of Judah made war upon Jerusalem, and captured it, and smote it with the edge of the sword, —and, the city, they set on fire.
9 Ergasiis namoonni Yihuudaa Kanaʼaanota biyya gaaraa, Negeebii fi gammoojjii karaa lixa biiftuu keessa jiraatan loluudhaaf gad buʼan.
And, afterwards, the sons of Judah went down to make war upon the Canaanites, —dwelling in the hill country, and in the south, and in the lowland.
10 Namoota Kanaʼaan kanneen Kebroon ishee dur Kiriyaati Arbaaq jedhamtu keessa jiraatanittis duulanii Sheeshaayiin, Ahiimanii fi Talmaayin moʼatan.
And Judah went against the Canaanites who were dwelling in Hebron, now, the name of Hebron, formerly, 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 he went from thence, against the inhabitants of Debir, —now, the name of Debir, formerly, 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 captureth it, I will give unto him Achsah my daughter, to wife.
13 Obboleessi Kaaleb quxisuun, Otniiʼeel ilmi Qenaz magaalattii qabate; Kaalebis intala isaa Aaksaa isatti heerumsiise.
Then Othniel, son of Kenaz, Caleb’s younger brother, captured 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 pass, when she came, that she moved him to ask of her father a field, and, when she alighted from off the ass, Caleb said unto her—What aileth thee?
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 present; for, south land, hast thou given me, give me therefore pools of water. So Caleb gave her Upper-pools, and Lower-pools.
16 Sanyiiwwan Qeenii namicha abbaa niitii Musee sanaa namoota gammoojjii Yihuudaa keessa Negeeb ishee Aaraad biratti argamtu keessa jiraatan gidduu jiraachuuf jedhanii namoota Yihuudaa wajjin Magaalaa Meexxiitii ol baʼan.
Now, the sons of the Kenite, father-in-law of Moses, had come up from the city of palm-trees, with the sons of Judah, into the wilderness of Judah, which is in the south of Arad, —so they went and dwelt with the people.
17 Namoonni Yihuudaa obboloota isaanii ilmaan Simiʼoon wajjin dhaqanii Kanaʼaanota Zefaati keessa jiraatan waraanan; magaalattiis guutumaan guutuutti barbadeessan. Kanaafuu magaalattiin Hormaa jedhamtee waamamte.
Then went Judah, with Simeon his brother, and they smote the Canaanites dwelling in Zephath, —and devoted it to destruction, and the name of the city was called Hormah.
18 Akkasumas namoonni Yihuudaa Gaazaa gandoota naannoo ishee wajjin, Ashqaloon gandoota naannoo ishee wajjin, Eqroon naannoo ishee wajjin qabatan.
And Judah captured Gaza with the boundaries thereof, and Ashkelon, with the boundaries thereof, —and Ekron, with the boundaries thereof.
19 Waaqayyo namoota Yihuudaa wajjin ture. Kanaafuu isaan biyya gaaraa sana qabatan; garuu sababii namoonni dirree irra jiraatan gaariiwwan sibiilaa qabaniif achii isaan baasuu hin dandeenye.
And it same to pass that Yahweh was with Judah, and he took possession of the hill country, —but did not dispossess the inhabitants of the vale, because they had, chariots of iron.
20 Akkuma Museen abdachiisee turetti Kebroon Kaalebiif kennamte; innis ilmaan Anaaq sadan achii ariʼee baase.
So they gave unto Caleb Hebron, as spake Moses, —and he drave out from thence the three sons of Anak.
21 Ijoolleen Beniyaam garuu Yebuusota Yerusaalem keessa jiraachaa turan sana achii baasuu hin dandeenye; hamma ammaatti Yebuusonni Beniyaamota wajjin iddoo sana jiraatan.
But, the Jebusites dwelling in Jerusalem, the sons of Benjamin did not drive out, —but the Jebusites have dwelt with the sons of Benjamin, in Jerusalem, unto this day.
22 Gosti Yoosef immoo Beetʼeel waraanan; Waaqayyos isaan wajjin ture.
Then went up the house of Joseph—they also, —unto Bethel, —and, Yahweh, was with them.
23 Yommuu isaan gara Beetʼeel ishee dur Luuzi jedhamtutti basaastota erganitti,
And the house of Joseph sent to spy out Bethel, —now, the name of the city, formerly, was, Luz.
24 basaastonni sun namicha magaalaadhaa baʼee dhufu tokko arganii, “Karaa ittiin magaalaa seenan nu argisiisi; nus waan gaarii siif goona” jedhaniin.
So the watchers saw a man, coming forth from the city, —and they said unto him—Shew us, we pray thee, the way to get into the city, and we will deal with thee, in lovingkindness.
25 Innis itti argisiise; isaanis namicha sanaa fi maatii isaa guutuu dhiisanii magaalaa sana goraadeedhaan dhaʼan.
And he shewed them the way to get into the city, and they smote the city, with the edge of the sword, —but, the man and all his family, they let go.
26 Namichis gara Heetotaa deemee magaalaa Loozaa jedhamtu hundeesse; isheenis hamma ammaatti Luuzi jedhamtee waamamti.
And the man went into the land of the Hittites, —and built a city, and called the name thereof, Luz, that, is the name thereof, unto this day.
27 Minaaseen garuu namoota Beet Sheʼaaniitii fi gandoota naannoo ishee yookaan Taʼanaakii fi gandoota naannoo ishee yookaan Doorii fi gandoota naannoo ishee yookaan Yibleʼaamii fi gandoota naannoo ishee yookaan Megidoo fi gandoota naannoo ishee jiraatan achii hin baafne; kanaafuu Kanaʼaanonni ittuma fufanii achi jiraachuuf murteeffatan.
But Manasseh took not possession of Beth-shean and her towns, nor of Taanach and her towns, nor dispossessed the inhabitants of Dor and her towns, nor the inhabitants of Ibleam, and her towns, nor the inhabitants of Megiddo, and her towns, —but the Canaanites were determined to remain in this land;
28 Israaʼeloonni yommuu jabaachaa dhufanitti akka isaan hojii humnaa hojjetan isaan dirqisiisan malee Kanaʼaanota guutumaan guutuutti achii hin baafne.
when Israel, however, had waxed strong, they put the Canaanites under tribute, —though they, dispossessed, them not.
29 Efreemis Kanaʼaanota Geezir keessa jiraatan achii hin baafne; Kanaʼaanonni garuu ittuma fufanii achuma isaan gidduu jiraatan.
And, Ephraim, dispossessed not the Canaanites who were dwelling in Gezer, —so the Canaanites remained in their midst, in Gezer.
30 Zebuuloonis Kanaʼaanota Qixroon yookaan Nahalol keessa jiraatan kanneen gidduu isaaniitti hafan hin baafne; garuu akka isaan hojii humnaa hojjetan godhan.
Zebulun, dispossessed not the inhabitants of Kitron, nor the inhabitants of Nahalol, —but the Canaanites remained in their midst, and came under tribute.
31 Aasheeris warra Akoo yookaan Siidoon yookaan Ahilaab yookaan Akziib yookaan Helbaa yookaan Afiiqii fi Rehoob keessa jiraatan hin baafne;
Asher, dispossessed not the inhabitants of Acco, nor the inhabitants of Zidon, —nor of Ahlab, nor of Achzib, nor of Helbah, nor of Aphik, nor of Rehob;
32 namoonni Aasheer sababii isaan jara ariʼanii hin baasiniif Kanaʼaanota biyya sana jiran gidduu jiraatan.
but the Asherites dwelt in the midst of the Canaanites, the inhabitants of the land, —for they dispossessed them not.
33 Niftaalem warra Beet Shemeshii fi Beet Anaati keessa jiraatan hin baafne; namoonni Niftaalem garuu Kanaʼaanota biyya sana turan gidduu jiraatan; warri Beet Shemeshii fi Beet Anaati dirqamsiifamanii hojii humnaa hojjechaafii turan.
Naphtali, dispossessed not the inhabitants of Beth-shemesh nor the inhabitants of Beth-anath, but they dwelt in the midst of the Canaanites, the inhabitants of the land, —and, the inhabitants of Beth-shemesh, and of Beth-anath, became theirs, under tribute.
34 Amooronni immoo warra Daan gara biyya gaaraatti dhiiban malee akka isaan sululatti gad buʼan hin eeyyamneef ture.
And the Amorites forced the sons of Dan into the hill country, —for they suffered them not to come down into the vale;
35 Amooronnis itti fufanii Tulluu Herees irra, Ayaaloonii fi Shaʼalbiim keessa jiraatan; garuu yommuu humni mana Yoosef jabaachaa dhufetti isaanis hojii humnaa isaanii hojjechuuf dirqisiifaman.
and, though the Amorites were determined to remain in the hill country of Heres, in Aijalon, and in Shaalbim, yet was the hand of the house of Joseph heavy, so that they came under tribute.
36 Daariin Amoorotaa Aqrabiimii jalqabee karaa Seelaatiin ol baʼa ture.
And, the boundary of the Amorites, was from the ascent of Akrabbim, from Sela and upwards.
