1 Mootota 14
1 Yeroo sana Abiyaan ilmi Yerobiʼaam dhukkubsannaan
At that time Abijah son of Jeroboam became very sick.
2 Yerobiʼaam niitii ofii isaatiin akkana jedhe; “Ati niitii Yerobiʼaam taʼuun kee akka hin beekneef eenyummaa kee dhoksiitii kaʼii Shiiloo dhaqi. Ahiiyaan raajichi akka ani saba kana irratti mootii taʼu natti hime sun achi jiraatii.
Jeroboam said to his wife, “Please arise and disguise yourself, so you will not be recognized as my wife, and go to Shiloh, because Ahijah the prophet is there; he is the one who spoke about me, saying that I would become king over these people.
3 Buddeena kudhan, maxinoo muraasaa fi damma okkotee tokko harkatti qabadhuu gara isaa dhaqi. Inni waan gurbaan kun taʼu sitti hima.”
Take with you ten loaves, some cakes, and a jar of honey, and go to Ahijah. He will tell you what will happen to the child.”
4 Kanaafuu niitiin Yerobiʼaam waan inni jedheen sana gootee gara mana Ahiiyaa Shiiloo dhaqxe. Yeroo sana Ahiiyaan homaa hin argu ture; inni waan dulloomeef agartuun isaa dadhabee tureetii.
Jeroboam's wife did so; she left and went to Shiloh and came to the house of Ahijah. Now Ahijah could not see; he lost his sight because of old age.
5 Waaqayyo garuu Ahiiyaadhaan akkana jedhe; “Niitiin Yerobiʼaam sababii ilmi ishee dhibameef waaʼee isaa si gaafachuuf dhufuutti jirti; ati akkanaa fi akkana jedhii deebisiif. Isheen yommuu dhuftu nama biraa of fakkeessitee dhufti.”
Yahweh said to Ahijah, “Look, the wife of Jeroboam is coming to seek advice from you regarding her son, for he is sick. Say such and such to her, because when she comes, she will act as if she were some other woman.”
6 Ahiiyaan sagalee faana ishee dhageenyaan balbala irratti akkana jedheen; “Yaa niitii Yerobiʼaam ol seeni. Dubartii biraa of fakkeessuu yaaluun kee kun maaliif? Ani ergaa hamaa sitti himuuf ergameera.
When Ahijah heard the sound of her feet as she came in at the door, he said, “Come in, wife of Jeroboam. Why do you pretend to be someone you are not? I have been sent to you with bad news.
7 Dhaqiitii Waaqayyo Waaqni Israaʼel akkana jedha jedhiitii Yerobiʼaamitti himi: ‘Ani saba keessaa si kaafadheen bulchaa saba koo Israaʼel si godhe.
Go, tell Jeroboam that Yahweh, the God of Israel, says, 'I raised you from among the people to make you the leader over my people Israel.
8 Ani mana Daawit irraa mootummaa tarsaaseen siif kenne; ati garuu akka garbicha koo Daawit kan ajajawwan koo eegee garaa isaa guutuun na duukaa buʼee waan fuula koo duratti qajeelaa taʼe qofa hojjete sanaa hin taane.
I tore the kingdom away from the family of David and gave it to you, yet you have not been like my servant David, who kept my commandments and followed me with all his heart, to do only what was right in my eyes.
9 Ati warra siin dura jiraatan hunda caalaa waan hamaa hojjetteerta. Ati ofii keetiif waaqota biraa fakkiiwwan baqfamanii hojjetaman tolfattee dheekkamsaaf na kakaafte; dugda kee duubattis na gatte.
Instead, you have done evil, more than all who were before you. You have made other gods, and you have cast metal images to provoke me to anger, and have thrust me behind your back.
10 “‘Sababii kanaaf ani amma mana Yerobiʼaam irratti badiisa nan fida. Ani mana Yerobiʼaamii dhiira hunda, garbicha yookaan birmaduu Israaʼel keessaa nan balleessa. Ani akkuma namni tokko kosii gubee barbadeessutti mana Yerobiʼaam gubeen barbadeessa.
Therefore, look, I will bring disaster on your family; I will cut off from you every male child in Israel, whether slave or free, and will completely remove your family, like someone who burns up dung until it is gone.
11 Nama maatii Yerobiʼaam taʼe kam iyyuu kan magaalaa keessatti duʼe sareetu nyaata; kan baadiyyaatti duʼe kam iyyuu immoo allaattii samiitu nyaata. Waaqayyo waan kana dubbateeraatii!’
Anyone who belongs to your family who dies in the city will be eaten by dogs, and anyone who dies in the field will be eaten by the birds of the heavens, for I, Yahweh, have said it.'
12 “Ati garuu mana keetti gali. Yeroo miilli kee magaalaa seenutti mucaan sun ni duʼa.
So arise, wife of Jeroboam, and go back to your home; when your feet enter the city, the child Abijah will die.
13 Warri Israaʼel hundinuu booʼaniifii isa ni awwaalu. Waan Waaqayyo Waaqni Israaʼel mana Yerobiʼaam keessaa isa qofa irratti waan gaarii argeef, mana Yerobiʼaam keessaa namni awwaala argatu isa qofa taʼa.
All Israel will mourn for him and bury him. He is the only one from Jeroboam's family who will go into a grave, because only in him, out of Jeroboam's house, was anything good found in the sight of Yahweh, the God of Israel.
14 “Waaqayyo Israaʼel irratti mootii tokko ofii isaatiif ni kaafata; mootiin sunis maatii Yerobiʼaam kutee balleessa. Guyyaan isaas harʼa! Kunis ammuma taʼa.
Also, Yahweh will raise up a king of Israel who will cut off the family of Jeroboam on that day. Today is that day, right now.
15 Waaqayyo Israaʼelin dhaʼee akkuma shambaqqoo bishaan keessaatti ni raasa. Sababii isaan utubaawwan Aasheeraa dhadhaabanii Waaqayyoon dheekkamsiisaniif inni biyya abbootii isaaniitiif kenne gaarii sana keessaa Israaʼelin buqqisee Laga Efraaxiisiin gamatti isaan ni bittinneessa.
For Yahweh will attack Israel as a reed is shaken in the water, and he will root up Israel out of this good land that he gave to their ancestors. He will scatter them beyond the Euphrates River, because they have made their Asherah poles and provoked Yahweh to anger.
16 Innis sababii cubbuu Yerobiʼaam hojjetee akka Israaʼelis hojjetu godhe sanaatiif saba Israaʼel ni gata.”
He will give Israel up because of the sins of Jeroboam, the sins that he has committed, and through which he has led Israel to sin.”
17 Niitiin Yerobiʼaam kaatee Tiirzaa dhaqxe. Akkuma isheen gulantaa balbalaa geesseen mucaan sun ni duʼe.
So Jeroboam's wife arose and left, and came to Tirzah. As she came to the threshold of her house, the child died.
18 Jarris isa awwaalan; Israaʼel hundinuus akkuma Waaqayyo karaa garbicha isaa Ahiiyaa raajichaatiin dubbate sana ni booʼaniif.
All Israel buried him and mourned for him, just as it was told to them by the word of Yahweh which he had spoken by his servant Ahijah the prophet.
19 Wanni Yerobiʼaam hojjete kan biraa, akki inni itti lolaa turee fi akki inni itti biyya bulchaa ture kitaaba seenaa mootota Israaʼel keessatti barreeffameera.
As for the other matters concerning Jeroboam, how he waged war and how he reigned, see, they are written in the book of the events of the kings of Israel.
20 Innis waggaa digdamii lama bulchee ergasii abbootii isaa wajjin boqote. Ilmi isaa Naadaab mootii taʼee iddoo isaa buʼe.
Jeroboam reigned twenty-two years and then slept with his ancestors, and Nadab his son became king in his place.
21 Rehooboʼaam ilmi Solomoon biyya Yihuudaa keessatti mootii ture. Yeroo inni mootii taʼetti umuriin isaa waggaa afurtamii tokko ture; innis waggaa kudha torba Yerusaalem magaalaa Waaqayyo Maqaa ofii isaa achi kaaʼachuuf jedhee gosoota Israaʼel hunda keessaa filate sana keessatti mootii taʼee bulche. Maqaan haadha isaa Naʼamaa ture; isheenis gosa Amoon turte.
Now Rehoboam son of Solomon was reigning in Judah. Rehoboam was forty-one years old when he became king, and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city that Yahweh had chosen out of all the tribes of Israel in which to put his name. His mother's name was Naamah the Ammonite woman.
22 Yihuudaan fuula Waaqayyoo duratti hammina hojjete. Isaanis cubbuu hojjetaniin hamma abbootiin isaanii hojjetan sana caalaa dheekkamsa isaa kakaasan.
Judah did what was evil in the sight of Yahweh; they provoked him to jealousy with the sins that they committed, more than everything that their fathers had done.
23 Akkasumas iddoo ol kaʼaa hunda irrattii fi mukkeen babalʼaa hunda jalatti iddoowwan sagadaa kanneen gaarran irraa, soodduuwwan dhagaatii fi siidaawwan Aasheeraa ofii isaaniitiif tolfatan.
For they also built for themselves high places, stone pillars, and Asherah poles on every high hill and under every green tree.
24 Manni sagadaa dhiirota sagaagalaniis biyya sana keessa ture; namoonni sun gochawwan jibbisiisoo kan saboota Waaqayyo fuula Israaʼelootaa duraa ariʼee baase sanaa hunda keessatti hirmaatan.
There were also cultic prostitutes in the land. They did the same despicable practices as the nations that Yahweh had driven out before the people of Israel.
25 Waggaa shanaffaa Rehooboʼaam mootii taʼetti Shiishaaq mootiin Gibxi Yerusaalemin waraane.
It happened in the fifth year of King Rehoboam that Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem.
26 Innis qabeenya mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyootii fi qabeenya masaraa mootummaa guurratee deeme. Gaachanawwan warqee kanneen Solomoon hojjete dabalatee waan hunda guurratee gale.
He took away the treasures in the house of Yahweh, and the treasures in the king's house. He took everything away; he also took all the shields of gold that Solomon had made.
27 Kanaafuu Rehooboʼaam mootichi iddoo isaanii buusuuf jedhee gaachana naasii hojjetee ajajjuuwwan eegdota dabaree eegumsa balbala masaraa mootummaatti kenne.
King Rehoboam made shields of bronze in their place and entrusted them into the hands of the commanders of the guard, who guarded the doors to the king's house.
28 Yeroo mootichi gara mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyoo dhaqu hunda eegdonni sun gaachana sana baatanii ergasii immoo kutaa eegdotaatti deebisu ture.
It happened that whenever the king entered the house of Yahweh, the guards would carry them; then they would bring them back into the guardhouse.
29 Wantoonni Rehooboʼaam bara mootummaa keessa taʼanii fi wanni inni hojjete hundinuu kitaaba seenaa mootota Yihuudaa keessatti barreeffamaniiru mitii?
As for the other matters concerning Rehoboam, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the events of the kings of Judah?
30 Rehooboʼaamii fi Yerobiʼaam gidduu waraana gargari hin cinnetu ture.
There was constant warfare between Rehoboam and Jeroboam.
31 Rehooboʼaamis abbootii ofii wajjin boqotee Magaalaa Daawit keessatti isaan biratti awwaalame. Maqaan haadha isaa Naʼamaa ture; isheenis gosa Amoon turte. Ilmi isaa Abiyaan iddoo isaa buʼee mootii taʼe.
So Rehoboam slept with his ancestors and was buried with them in the city of David. His mother's name was Naamah the Ammonite woman. Abijah his son became king in his place.
