1 Kings 16
1 During the time that Baasha [was king of Israel], [the prophet] Jehu, Hanani’s son, gave Baasha this message that he had received from Yahweh:
Ergasiis dubbiin Waaqayyoo Baʼishaaniin mormuudhaan akkana jedhee gara Yehuu gara ilma Hanaanii dhufe:
2 “You were very insignificant/unimportant [IDM] when I caused you to become the ruler of my Israeli people. But you have caused me to become very angry by doing [IDM] the kinds of evil things that King Jeroboam did. You have also caused me to become angry by causing my people to sin.
“Ani awwaara keessaa si kaaseen bulchaa saba koo Israaʼel si godhe; ati garuu karaa Yerobiʼaam deemtee saba koo Israaʼelin cubbuu hojjechiiftee akka isaan cubbuu isaaniitiin dheekkamsaaf na kakaasan goote.
3 So now I will get rid of you and your family [MTY]. I will do to you just like I did to Jeroboam and his family.
Kanaafuu ani Baʼishaanii fi mana isaa nan barbadeessa; mana kee illee akkuma mana Yerobiʼaam ilma Nebaat sanaa nan godha.
4 [The bodies of] those in your family who die in this city [will not be buried; they] will be eaten by dogs; and [the corpses of] those who die in the fields will be eaten by vultures.”
Namoota Baʼishaan kanneen magaalaa keessatti dhuman sareetu nyaata; kanneen baadiyyaatti dhuman immoo allaattii samiitu nyaata.”
5 The other things that happened during the time that Baasha ruled Israel, and the things that he did, are written [RHQ] in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Israel’.
Wantoonni biraa kanneen bara mootummaa Baʼishaan keessa hojjetaman, wanni inni hojjetee fi jabinni isaa kitaaba seenaa mootota Israaʼel keessatti barreeffamaniiru mitii?
6 When Baasha died, he was buried in Tirzah, [the capital city]. Then his son Elah became king.
Baʼishaan abbootii ofii wajjin boqotee Tiirzaa keessatti awwaalame. Ilmi isaa Eelaan iddoo isaa buʼee mootii taʼe.
7 Yahweh gave that message about Baasha and his family to the prophet Jehu. Baasha had done many things that Yahweh considered to be evil, which caused Yahweh to become angry. Baasha did the same kind of things that King Jeroboam and his family had done previously. Yahweh was also angry with Baasha because he had killed all of Jeroboam’s family.
Sababii inni akkuma mana Yerobiʼaam taʼuudhaan hojii harka isaatiin Waaqa dheekkamsaaf kakaasee Yerobiʼaaminis ajjeesuudhaan hammina fuula Waaqayyoo duratti hojjete hundaaf dubbiin Waaqayyoo karaa Yehuu raajichaa ilma Hanaaniin gara Baʼishaanii fi mana isaa dhufe.
8 After Asa had been the king of Judah for almost 26 years, Elah became the king of Israel. Elah ruled in Tirzah for [only] two years.
Bara Aasaan mootichi Yihuudaa mootii taʼe keessa waggaa digdamii jaʼaffaatti Eelaan ilmi Baʼishaan Tiirzaa keessatti mootii Israaʼel taʼee waggaa lama bulche.
9 [A man named] Zimri was one of Elah’s army officers. He commanded the drivers of half of Elah’s army’s (chariots/two-wheeled vehicles pulled by horses). He made plans to kill Elah while Elah was in Tirzah, getting drunk at the house of [a man named] Arza. Arza was the man who took care of the things in the king’s palace.
Garuu qondaaltota isaa keessaa namichi Zimrii jedhamu kan gaariiwwan isaa keessaa walakkaa ajaju tokko isatti malate. Yeroo sanatti Eelaan Tiirzaa keessatti mana Arzaa namicha bulchaa masaraa mootummaa kan Tiirzaa keessaa sanaatti dhugee machaaʼaa ture.
10 Zimri went into Arza’s house and killed Elah. Then Zimri became the king of Israel. That was when Asa had been the king of Judah for 27 years.
Zimriinis bara mootummaa Aasaa mooticha Yihuudaa keessaa waggaa digdamii torbaffaatti ol seenee Eelaa dhaʼee ajjeese. Iddoo isaas buʼee mootii taʼe.
11 As soon as Zimri became king [MTY], he killed all of Baasha’s family [MTY]. That included every male [IDM] in Baasha’s family and all of Baasha’s male friends.
Innis akkuma mootii taʼee teessoo irra taaʼeen maatii Baʼishaan hunda fixe. Fira isaa yookaan michuu isaa keessaa dhiira tokko illee hin hambifneef.
12 That was just what Yahweh told the prophet Jehu would happen.
Akkasiin Zimriin akkuma dubbii Waaqayyoo kan Baʼishaaniin mormuudhaan karaa Yehuu raajichaatiin dubbatame sanaatti maatii Baʼishaan hunda barbadeesse;
13 Baasha and his son Elah had sinned and led the Israeli people to sin. They caused Yahweh, the God whom the Israeli people worshiped, to become angry, because they both urged the people [to worship] worthless idols.
kunis sababii cubbuu Baʼishaanii fi ilmi isaa Eelaan hojjetanii akka Israaʼeloonnis hojjetan gochuudhaan waaqota isaanii tolfamoo kanneen faayidaa hin qabneen Waaqayyo Waaqa Israaʼel dheekkamsaaf kakaasaniif taʼe.
14 Everything else that Elah did is written in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Israel’.
Wantoonni bara mootummaa Eelaa keessa hojjetaman kanneen biraatii fi wanni inni hojjete hundi kitaaba seenaa mootota Israaʼel keessatti barreeffamaniiru mitii?
15 So Zimri became the king of Israel after Asa had been king of Judah for 27 years. But Zimri ruled in Tirzah for only seven days. The Israeli army was beseiging/surrounding Gibeah, a town which belonged to the Philistine people-group.
Zimriin bara mootummaa Aasaa mooticha Yihuudaa keessa waggaa digdamii torbaffaatti Tiirzaa keessatti mootii taʼee bultii torba bulche. Loltoonnis Gibetoon magaalaa Filisxeemotaa bira qubatan.
16 The men in the Israeli army camp heard that Zimri had secretly planned to kill King Elah, and then had killed him. So on that day the soldiers chose Omri, the commander of their army, to become the king of Israel.
Israaʼeloonni qubata keessa turanis yommuu akka Zimriin mootichatti kaʼee isa ajjeese dhagaʼanitti gaafasuma qubata sana keessatti Omrii ajajaa loltootaa sana mootii Israaʼel taasisan.
17 The Israeli army was camped near Gibbethon [city]. When they heard what Zimri had done, they left there and went to Tirzah, and surrounded the city.
Omrii fi Israaʼeloonni isa wajjin turan hundi Gibetoon keessaa baʼanii Tiirzaa marsan.
18 When Zimri realized that the city was [about to be] captured, he went into his palace and set it on fire. So the palace burned down, and he died [in the fire].
Zimriinis yommuu akka magaalaan sun qabame argetti dallaa masaraa mootummaa seenee masaraa mootummaa of irratti gubee duʼe.
19 He died because he had sinned by doing the things that Yahweh considered to be evil. Jeroboam had led the Israeli people to sin, and Zimri sinned just like Jeroboam had sinned.
Wanni kunis sababii inni fuula Waaqayyoo duratti hammina hojjechuu fi karaa Yerobiʼaam irra deemuudhaan cubbuu Yerobiʼaam hojjetee Israaʼelootas hojjechiise sana hojjeteef taʼe.
20 All the other things that Zimri did, and the record of how he rebelled [against King Elah], are written in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Israel’.
Wantoonni Zimriin bara mootummaa isaa keessa hojjete biraatii fi fincilli inni kaase kitaaba seenaa mootota Israaʼel keessatti barreeffamaniiru mitii?
21 After Zimri died, the Israeli people were divided. One group wanted Tibni, the son of Ginath, to be their king. The other group wanted Omri [to be the king].
Ergasii sabni Israaʼel garee lamatti qoodame; gareen tokko Tiibnii ilma Giinat mootii godhachuuf isa duukaa buʼe; gareen kaan immoo Omrii duukaa buʼe.
22 Those who supported Omri (were stronger than/defeated) those who supported Tibni. So Tibni was killed, and Omri became king.
Garuu duukaa buutonni Omrii duuka buutota Tiibnii ilma Giinat sana caalaa jabaatan. Kanaafuu Taamniin duʼee Omriin mootii taʼe.
23 Omri became king when Asa had been king of Judah for almost 31 years. Omri ruled Israel for 12 years. For the first six years he ruled in Tirzah.
Omriinis bara mootummaa Aasaa mooticha Yihuudaa keessa waggaa soddomii tokkoffaatti mootii Israaʼel taʼee waggaa kudha lama bulche; waggoota kanneen keessaa waggaa jaʼa Tiirzaa keessa taaʼee bulche.
24 Then he bought a hill from [a man named] Shemer and paid him about (150 pounds/70 kg.) of silver for it. Then Omri ordered his men to build a city on that hill, and he called it Samaria, to honor Shemer, the man who owned it previously.
Innis namicha Shemeer jedhamu irraa meetii taalaantii lamaan gaara Samaariyaa bitee magaalaa tokko gaara sana irratti ijaare; magaalaa sanas Samaariyaa jedhee maqaa Saamir abbaa gaara sanaa kan duriitiin moggaase.
25 But Omri did many things that Yahweh considered to be evil. He did more evil deeds than any of the kings who ruled Israel before he did.
Omriin garuu fuula Waaqayyoo duratti hammina hojjetee namoota isa duraan turan hunda caalaa cubbame.
26 [When] Jeroboam [was previously the king, he] had led the Israeli people to sin, and Omri committed the same kind of sins that Jeroboam did. The Israeli people caused Yahweh, the God the Israeli people had worshiped, to become very angry, because they worshiped worthless idols.
Innis karaa Yerobiʼaam ilma Nebaat hunda irra deemee cubbuu Yerobiʼaam hojjetee saba Israaʼelis hojjechiisee akka isaan waaqota isaanii tolfamoo kanneen faayidaa hin qabneen Waaqayyoon Waaqa Israaʼel aariif kakaasan godhe.
27 Everything that Omri did, and the record of the victories that his [army] won, are written in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Israel’.
Wantoonni bara mootummaa Omrii keessa hojjetaman kaan, wanni inni hojjetee fi jabinni inni argisiise kitaaba seenaa mootota Israaʼel keessatti barreeffamaniiru mitii?
28 After Omri died, he was buried in Samaria, and his son Ahab became king.
Omriin abbootii ofii isaa wajjin boqotee Samaariyaatti awwaalame. Ahaab ilmi isaa iddoo isaa buʼee mootii taʼe.
29 Ahab became king of Israel when Asa had ruled Judah for almost 38 years. Ahab ruled in Samaria [city] for 22 years.
Ahaab ilmi Omrii bara mootummaa Aasaa mooticha Yihuudaa keessa waggaa soddomii saddeettaffaatti mootii Israaʼel taʼee Samaariyaa taaʼee waggaa digdamii lama bulche.
30 Ahab did many things that Yahweh considered to be evil. He did more evil things than any of the kings who ruled Israel before he did.
Ahaab ilmi Omrii warra isa duraan turan kam iyyuu caalaa fuula Waaqayyoo duratti hammina hojjete.
31 He committed the same kind of sins that Jeroboam did, but he did things that were worse than the things that Jeroboam did. He married [a woman named] Jezebel, the daughter of Ethbaal, the king of Sidon [city]. Then Ahab started to worship Baal, [the god that the Canaan people-group worshiped].
Innis cubbuu Yerobiʼaam ilmi Nebaat hojjete sana hojjechuu akka waan salphaa tokkootti ilaaluu bira darbee Iizaabel intala Etebaʼaal mooticha Siidoonotaa fuudhe; dhaqees Baʼaalin tajaajiluu fi waaqeffachuu jalqabe.
32 He built a temple in Samaria in order that the Israeli people could worship Baal there, and he put an altar there for [making sacrifices to] Baal.
Innis mana Baʼaal itti waaqeffatamu tokko Samaariyaatti ijaaree iddoo aarsaa tokko achi keessa dhaabe.
33 He also made an idol that represented Asherah, [Baal’s wife]. He did many more things that caused Yahweh to become angry. He did more evil things than any of the previous kings of Israel had done.
Ahaab ammas siidaa Aasheeraa dhaabee waan mootonni Israaʼel kanneen isa duraan turan hundi hojjetan caalaa hojjetee Waaqayyoon Waaqa Israaʼel aariif kakaase.
34 During the years that Ahab [ruled], Hiel, a man from Bethel [city], rebuilt Jericho [city]. But when he started to rebuild the city, his oldest son Abiram died. And [when the city was finished, ] while Hiel was building the city gates, his youngest son Segub died. They died just like Yahweh had told Joshua would happen [to the sons of anyone who would rebuild Jericho].
Bara Ahaab keessa Hiiʼeel namichi Beetʼeel tokko Yerikoo deebisee ijaare. Akkuma dubbii Waaqayyoo kan karaa Iyyaasuu ilma Nuunitiin dubbatame sanaatti gaafa inni hundeewwan Yerikoo buusetti Abiiraam ilma isaa hangafatu duʼe; gaafa inni karrawwan isaa dhaabetti immoo Seguub ilma isaa quxisuu hundaatu duʼe.
