1 Mootota 2

1 Daawit Yeroon duʼa isaa dhiʼaannaan ilma isaa Solomoonin ajaje.

Now the days of David drew nigh that he should die; and he charged Solomon his son, saying,

2 Innis akkana jedhe; “Ani karaa lafa hundumaa deemuufan jira. Kanaafuu ati jabaadhu; namas taʼi;

I go the way of all the earth: be thou strong therefore, and shew thyself a man;

3 waan Waaqayyo Waaqni kee barbaadu eegi; akka waan hojjettu hundaa fi lafa deemtu hundatti milkooftuuf akkuma seera Musee keessatti barreeffametti karaa isaa irra deemi; sirnaa fi ajaja isaa, seeraa fi dambii isaa eegi;

And keep the charge of the LORD thy God, to walk in his ways, to keep his statutes, and his commandments, and his judgments, and his testimonies, as it is written in the law of Moses, that thou mayest prosper in all that thou doest, and whithersoever thou turnest thyself:

4 yoo ati akkas goote, Waaqayyo waan, ‘Yoo ilmaan kee karaa isaanii eeggatan, yoo isaan garaa isaanii guutuu fi lubbuu isaanii guutuudhaan amanamummaadhaan fuula koo dura jiraatan, ati teessoo Israaʼel irraa nama hin dhabdu’ jedhee na abdachiise sana fiixaan naa baasa.

That the LORD may continue his word which he spake concerning me, saying, If thy children take heed to their way, to walk before me in truth with all their heart and with all their soul, there shall not fail thee (said he) a man on the throne of Israel.

5 “Ati mataan kee iyyuu waan Yooʼaab ilmi Zeruuyaa natti hojjete, waan inni ajajjoota loltoota Israaʼel lamaan jechuunis Abneer ilma Neerii fi Amaasaa ilma Yeteer godhe ni beekta. Inni bara nagaa keessa akka waan waraana keessatti taʼeetti isaan ajjeesee dhiiga isaanii dhangalaase; dhiiga sanas sabbata mudhii isaatii fi kophee faana isaatti faale.

Moreover thou knowest also what Joab the son of Zeruiah did to me, [and] what he did to the two captains of the hosts of Israel, unto Abner the son of Ner, and unto Amasa the son of Jether, whom he slew, and shed the blood of war in peace, and put the blood of war upon his girdle that [was] about his loins, and in his shoes that [were] on his feet.

6 Ogummaa keetiin isa adabi malee akka inni arrii isaatiin nagaan awwaalamu hin godhin. (Sheol h7585)

Do therefore according to thy wisdom, and let not his hoar head go down to the grave in peace. (Sheol h7585)

7 “Garuu sababii isaan yeroo ani obboleessa kee Abesaaloom duraa baqadhetti na gargaaraniif ilmaan Barzilaayii namicha gosa Giliʼaad sanaatiif arjoomi; isaanis warra maaddii kee irraa nyaatan gidduu haa jiraatan.

But shew kindness unto the sons of Barzillai the Gileadite, and let them be of those that eat at thy table: for so they came to me when I fled because of Absalom thy brother.

8 “Shimeʼiin ilmi Geeraa namichi gosa Beniyaam kan biyya Bahuuriim inni gaafa ani Mahanayiim dhaqetti akka malee na abaare sun kunoo si wajjin jira. Ani garuu yeroo inni na simachuuf Yordaanos dhufetti, ‘Ani goraadeedhaan si hin ajjeesu’ jedhee maqaa Waaqayyootiin nan kakadheef.

And, behold, [thou hast] with thee Shimei the son of Gera, a Benjamite of Bahurim, which cursed me with a grievous curse in the day when I went to Mahanaim: but he came down to meet me at Jordan, and I sware to him by the LORD, saying, I will not put thee to death with the sword.

9 Ati garuu sababii nama ogeessa taateef amma akka waan inni balleessaa hin qabaatiniitti isa hin ilaalin. Atuu waan isa gootu ni beekta. Ati mataa isaa kan arraaʼe sana dhiigaan awwaala keessa buusi.” (Sheol h7585)

Now therefore hold him not guiltless: for thou [art] a wise man, and knowest what thou oughtest to do unto him; but his hoar head bring thou down to the grave with blood. (Sheol h7585)

10 Daawitis ergasii abbootii isaa wajjin boqotee Magaalaa Daawit keessatti awwaalame.

So David slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David.

11 Innis waggaa afurtama Israaʼel irratti jechuunis waggaa torba Kebroonitti, waggaa soddomii sadii immoo Yerusaalemitti mootii taʼe.

And the days that David reigned over Israel [were] forty years: seven years reigned he in Hebron, and thirty and three years reigned he in Jerusalem.

12 Kanaafuu Solomoon teessoo abbaa isaa Daawit irra ni taaʼe; mootummaan isaas jabaatee dhaabate.

Then sat Solomon upon the throne of David his father; and his kingdom was established greatly.

13 Yeroo kanatti Adooniyaan ilmi Hagiit gara Batisheebaa gara haadha Solomoon dhaqe. Batisheebaanis, “Ati nagumaaf dhuftee?” jettee isa gaafatte. Innis, “Eeyyee ani nagumaafan dhufe” jedhee deebiseef;

And Adonijah the son of Haggith came to Bath-sheba the mother of Solomon. And she said, Comest thou peaceably? And he said, Peaceably.

14 itti dabalees, “Ani waanan siin jechuu fedhu tokkon qaba” jedheen. Isheenis, “Mee jedhi” jettee deebifteef.

He said moreover, I have somewhat to say unto thee. And she said, Say on.

15 Innis akkana jedheen; “Akkuma ati beektu mootummaan kan koo ture. Warri Israaʼel hundinuus akka ani mootii isaanii taʼu na abdatan. Garuu wanni sun geeddaramee mootummaan gara obboleessa kootiitti deebiʼeera; wanni kun Waaqayyo biraa isaaf dhufeeraatii.

And he said, Thou knowest that the kingdom was mine, and [that] all Israel set their faces on me, that I should reign: howbeit the kingdom is turned about, and is become my brother’s: for it was his from the LORD.

16 Ani amma waanan si kadhadhu tokkon qaba; maaloo na hin didin.” Isheenis, “Kadhadhu” jetteen.

And now I ask one petition of thee, deny me not. And she said unto him, Say on.

17 Innis itti fufee, “Akka inni Abiishagi intala gosa Suunam sana akka niitiitti naaf kennuuf maaloo Solomoon mooticha naa kadhadhu; inni si hin diduutii” jedheen.

And he said, Speak, I pray thee, unto Solomon the king, (for he will not say thee nay, ) that he give me Abishag the Shunammite to wife.

18 Batisheebaanis, “Kun waan gaarii dha! Ani dhaqeen mootichatti siif dubbadha” jettee deebifteef.

And Bath-sheba said, Well; I will speak for thee unto the king.

19 Kanaafuu Batisheebaan Adooniyaaf jettee isatti dubbachuuf gara Solomoon Mootichaa dhaqxe; Mootichis ishee simachuuf ol kaʼee harka ishee fuudhee teessoo isaa irra taaʼe. Inni teessoo haadha mootiitiif fidame tokko of biraa qaba ture; isheenis gama mirga isaatiin teesse.

Bath-sheba therefore went unto king Solomon, to speak unto him for Adonijah. And the king rose up to meet her, and bowed himself unto her, and sat down on his throne, and caused a seat to be set for the king’s mother; and she sat on his right hand.

20 Isheenis, “Ani waanan si kadhadhu xinnoo tokko qaba; maaloo na hin didin” jetteen. Mootichis, “Yaa haadha koo kadhadhu; ani si hin diduutii” jedhee deebiseef.

Then she said, I desire one small petition of thee; [I pray thee], say me not nay. And the king said unto her, Ask on, my mother: for I will not say thee nay.

21 Isheenis, “Obboleessi kee Adooniyaan intala gosa Suunam kan Abiishagi jedhamtu sana haa fuudhu” jetteen.

And she said, Let Abishag the Shunammite be given to Adonijah thy brother to wife.

22 Solomoon mootichis akkana jedhee haadha isaatiif deebii kenne; “Ati maaliif Abiishagi intala gosa Suunam kana Adooniyaaf kadhatta? Ati mootummaa illee akkasuma isaaf kadhadhu; inni obboleessa koo hangafaatii; Abiyaataar lubichaa fi Yooʼaab ilma Zeruuyaatiif illee gaafadhu!”

And king Solomon answered and said unto his mother, And why dost thou ask Abishag the Shunammite for Adonijah? ask for him the kingdom also; for he [is] mine elder brother; even for him, and for Abiathar the priest, and for Joab the son of Zeruiah.

23 Solomoon mootichis akkana jedhee maqaa Waaqayyootiin kakate; “Yoo Adooniyaan gatii kadhaa kanaa lubbuu ofii isaatiin baasuu baate, Waaqni natti haa muru; waan caalu iyyuu natti haa fidu!

Then king Solomon sware by the LORD, saying, God do so to me, and more also, if Adonijah have not spoken this word against his own life.

24 Kanaafuu dhugaa Waaqayyo jiraataa isa jabeessee na dhaabee teessoo abbaa koo teessoo Daawit irra na kaaʼee fi isa akkuma waadaa gale sanatti mootummaa naaf hundeesse sanaa Adooniyaan dhugumaan harʼa ni ajjeefama!”

Now therefore, [as] the LORD liveth, which hath established me, and set me on the throne of David my father, and who hath made me an house, as he promised, Adonijah shall be put to death this day.

25 Solomoon mootichi Benaayaa ilma Yehooyaadaa ajaje; innis dhaqee Adooniyaa dhaʼee ajjeese.

And king Solomon sent by the hand of Benaiah the son of Jehoiada; and he fell upon him that he died.

26 Mootichis Abiyaataar lubichaan akkana jedhe; “Ati gara lafa qotiisaa kee kan Anaatoot jirtu sanaa deemi. Ati silaa duʼuu qabda turte; ani garuu sababii ati fuula abbaa koo Daawit duratti taabota Waaqayyo Gooftaa baattee rakkina abbaa kootii hunda illee qooddatteef amma si hin ajjeesu.”

And unto Abiathar the priest said the king, Get thee to Anathoth, unto thine own fields; for thou [art] worthy of death: but I will not at this time put thee to death, because thou barest the ark of the Lord GOD before David my father, and because thou hast been afflicted in all wherein my father was afflicted.

27 Kanaafuu Solomoon dubbii Waaqayyo Shiilootti waaʼee mana Eelii dubbate sana guutuudhaan Abiyaataarin lubummaa mana Waaqayyoo irraa buuse.

So Solomon thrust out Abiathar from being priest unto the LORD; that he might fulfil the word of the LORD, which he spake concerning the house of Eli in Shiloh.

28 Yommuu oduun kun Yooʼaab namicha Abesaaloomiif tumsuu dhiisee Adooniyaaf tumse sana bira gaʼetti, inni gara dunkaana Waaqayyootti baqatee gaanfa iddoo aarsaa sana qabate.

Then tidings came to Joab: for Joab had turned after Adonijah, though he turned not after Absalom. And Joab fled unto the tabernacle of the LORD, and caught hold on the horns of the altar.

29 Akka Yooʼaab gara dunkaana Waaqayyootti baqatee iddoo aarsaa bira jiru Solomoon Mootichatti ni himame. Solomoonis, “Dhaqiitii isa ajjeesi!” jedhee Benaayaa ilma Yehooyaadaa sana ajaje.

And it was told king Solomon that Joab was fled unto the tabernacle of the LORD; and, behold, [he is] by the altar. Then Solomon sent Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, saying, Go, fall upon him.

30 Kanaafuu Benaayaa dunkaana Waaqayyoo ol seenee Yooʼaabiin, “Mootichi, ‘Kottu baʼi!’ siin jedha” jedhe. Inni garuu, “Ani asumattin duʼa malee hin baʼu” jedhee deebise. Benaayaa immoo, “Yoʼaab akkana jedhee naaf deebise” jedhee mootichatti hime.

And Benaiah came to the tabernacle of the LORD, and said unto him, Thus saith the king, Come forth. And he said, Nay; but I will die here. And Benaiah brought the king word again, saying, Thus said Joab, and thus he answered me.

31 Mootichi akkana jedhee Benaayaa ajaje; “Akkuma inni jedhe sana godhi; ajjeesiitii isa awwaali; kanaanis yakka dhiiga nama qulqulluu kan Yooʼaab dhangalaase sanaa irraa anaa fi mana abbaa koo qulqulleessi.

And the king said unto him, Do as he hath said, and fall upon him, and bury him; that thou mayest take away the innocent blood, which Joab shed, from me, and from the house of my father.

32 Sababii inni utuu abbaan koo Daawit hin beekin namoota lama goraadeen ajjeeseef Waaqayyo gatii dhiiga inni dhangalaase sanaa isa baasisa. Namoonni inni ajjeese sun lamaan jechuunis Abneer ilmi Neer ajajaan loltoota Israaʼelii fi Amaasaan ilmi Yeteer ajajaan loltoota Yihuudaa namoota isa caalaa jajjaboo fi qajeeltota turan.

And the LORD shall return his blood upon his own head, who fell upon two men more righteous and better than he, and slew them with the sword, my father David not knowing [thereof, to wit], Abner the son of Ner, captain of the host of Israel, and Amasa the son of Jether, captain of the host of Judah.

33 Yakki dhiiga isaanii mataa Yooʼaabii fi sanyii isaa irra bara baraan haa jiraatu. Garuu Daawitii fi sanyii isaa irra, mana isaatii fi teessoo isaa irra nagaan Waaqayyoo bara baraan haa jiraatu.”

Their blood shall therefore return upon the head of Joab, and upon the head of his seed for ever: but upon David, and upon his seed, and upon his house, and upon his throne, shall there be peace for ever from the LORD.

34 Kanaafuu Benaayaa ilmi Yehooyaadaa achi dhaqee Yooʼaabin ajjeese; innis biyya ofii isaatti gammoojjii keessatti awwaalame.

So Benaiah the son of Jehoiada went up, and fell upon him, and slew him: and he was buried in his own house in the wilderness.

35 Mootichis Benaayaa ilma Yehooyaadaa sana ajajaa loltootaa godhee iddoo Yooʼaab buuse; Zaadoq lubicha immoo iddoo Abiyaataar buuse.

And the king put Benaiah the son of Jehoiada in his room over the host: and Zadok the priest did the king put in the room of Abiathar.

36 Ergasiis mootichi gara Shimeʼiitti nama ergee akkana jedheen; “Ati Yerusaalem keessatti mana ijaarradhuutii achuma jiraadhu; achii baatee gara tokko illee hin deemin.

And the king sent and called for Shimei, and said unto him, Build thee an house in Jerusalem, and dwell there, and go not forth thence any whither.

37 Gaafa achii baatee Sulula Qeedroon ceetutti akka duutu dhugumaan beeki; dhiigni kees matuma keetti deebiʼa.”

For it shall be, [that] on the day thou goest out, and passest over the brook Kidron, thou shalt know for certain that thou shalt surely die: thy blood shall be upon thine own head.

38 Shimeʼiinis, “Wanni ati jette gaarii dha. Garbichi kee akkuma gooftaan koo mootichi jedhe sana ni godha” jedhee mootichaaf deebise. Shimeʼiinis bara dheeraa Yerusaalem keessa jiraate.

And Shimei said unto the king, The saying [is] good: as my lord the king hath said, so will thy servant do. And Shimei dwelt in Jerusalem many days.

39 Garuu waggoota sadii booddee garboota Saamii keessaa namoonni lama gara Aakiish ilma Maʼakaa mooticha Gaatitti baqatan; Shimeʼiittis, “Garboonni kee Gaati keessa jiru” jedhamee himame.

And it came to pass at the end of three years, that two of the servants of Shimei ran away unto Achish son of Maachah king of Gath. And they told Shimei, saying, Behold, thy servants [be] in Gath.

40 Innis waan kana dhageenyaan kaʼee harree isaa irra kooraa kaaʼatee garboota isaa barbaadachuu Aakiish bira Gaati dhaqe. Kanaafuu Shimeʼiin dhaqee Gaatii garboota isaa fidate.

And Shimei arose, and saddled his ass, and went to Gath to Achish to seek his servants: and Shimei went, and brought his servants from Gath.

41 Yommuu akka Shimeʼiin Yerusaalemii baʼee Gaati dhaqee deebiʼe Solomoonitti himametti,

And it was told Solomon that Shimei had gone from Jerusalem to Gath, and was come again.

42 mootichi Shimeʼii waamsisee akkana jedheen; “Ani maqaa Waaqayyootiin si kakachiisee, ‘Ati guyyaa kaatee iddoo biraa dhaquuf baate akka duutu beekkadhu’ jedhee si hin seerree? Atis gaafas, ‘Wanni ati jettu gaarii dha. Ani nan ajajama’ naan jette.

And the king sent and called for Shimei, and said unto him, Did I not make thee to swear by the LORD, and protested unto thee, saying, Know for a certain, on the day thou goest out, and walkest abroad any whither, that thou shalt surely die? and thou saidst unto me, The word [that] I have heard [is] good.

43 Yoos ati Maaliif kakuu Waaqayyoon kakatte sana eeguu diddee ajaja ani siif kenneefis ajajamuu didde ree?”

Why then hast thou not kept the oath of the LORD, and the commandment that I have charged thee with?

44 Mootichi amma illee Shimeʼiidhaan akkana jedhe; “Ati cubbuu abbaa koo Daawititti hojjette hunda garaa kee keessatti ni beekta. Waaqayyo amma jalʼina kee sana matuma keetti deebisa.

The king said moreover to Shimei, Thou knowest all the wickedness which thine heart is privy to, that thou didst to David my father: therefore the LORD shall return thy wickedness upon thine own head;

45 Solomoon mootichi garuu ni eebbifama; teessoon Daawitis bara baraan jabaatee fuula Waaqayyoo dura ni jiraata.”

And king Solomon [shall be] blessed, and the throne of David shall be established before the LORD for ever.

46 Mootichis Benaayaa ilma Yehooyaadaa ni ajaje; innis dhaqee Saamii dhaʼee ajjeese. Mootummaanis yeroo kanatti harka Solomoonitti jabaatee dhaabate.

So the king commanded Benaiah the son of Jehoiada; which went out, and fell upon him, that he died. And the kingdom was established in the hand of Solomon.
