< 2 Samuel 16 >

1 And when David was a little past the top [of the ascent], behold, Ziba the servant of Mephibosheth met him, with a couple of asses saddled, and upon them two hundred loaves of bread, and an hundred clusters of raisins, and an hundred of summer fruits, and a bottle of wine.
Daawit fiixee gaarichaa darbee xinnoo erga deemee booddee Ziibaan tajaajilaan Mefiibooshet harroota lamatti buddeena dhibba lama, bixxillee ija wayinii dhibba tokko, bixxillee ija harbuu dhibba tokkoo fi daadhii wayinii qalqalloo tokko feʼee isa simachuuf itti dhufe.
2 And the king said unto Ziba, What meanest thou by these? And Ziba said, The asses be for the king’s household to ride on; and the bread and summer fruit for the young men to eat; and the wine, that such as be faint in the wilderness may drink.
Mootichis, “Kana hunda maaliif fidde?” jedhee Siibaa gaafate. Ziibaan immoo, “Harroota akka maatiin mootichaa Yaabbataniif, buddeenaa fi bixxillee ija wayinii akka namoonni nyaataniif, daadhii wayinii immoo akka warri gammoojjii keessatti dadhaban ittiin bayyanataniif” jedhee deebise.
3 And the king said, And where is thy master’s son? And Ziba said unto the king, Behold, he abideth at Jerusalem: for he said, Today shall the house of Israel restore me the kingdom of my father.
Mootichis, “Ilmi ilma gooftaa keetii eessa jira?” jedhee gaafate. Ziibaan immoo deebisee, “Inni waan, ‘Manni Israaʼel harʼa mootummaa akaakayyuu kootii naa deebisa’ jedhee yaaduuf Yerusaalem keessa jiraata” jedhe.
4 Then said the king to Ziba, Behold, thine is all that pertaineth unto Mephibosheth. And Ziba said, I do obeisance; let me find favour in thy sight, my lord, O king.
Mootichis Ziibaadhaan, “Wanni kan Mefiibooshet taʼe hundinuu amma kan kee ti” jedhe. Ziibaanis, “Ani akkan fuula gooftaa kootii, fuula mootichaa duratti surraa argadhuuf ofi qabeen si kadhadha” jedhe.
5 And when king David came to Bahurim, behold, there came out thence a man of the family of the house of Saul, whose name was Shimei, the son of Gera: he came out, and cursed still as he came.
Akkuma Daawit mootichi Bahuuriim gaʼeen namichi balbala maatii Saaʼol tokko itti dhufe. Maqaan isaas Shimeʼii ilma Geeraa ti; namichi kunis Daawitin abaaraa gad baʼe.
6 And he cast stones at David, and at all the servants of king David: and all the people and all the mighty men were on his right hand and on his left.
Innis utuma qondaaltonnii fi waardiyyoonni Daawit hundinuu mirgaa fi bitaan Daawitin marsanii jiranuu hunda isaaniitti dhagaa darbachaa ture.
7 And thus said Shimei when he cursed, Begone, begone, thou man of blood, and man of Belial:
Shimeʼiinis akkana jedhee isa abaaraa ture; “Asii baʼi; asii baʼi; ati nama dhiigaa ti; namicha hamaa nana!
8 The LORD hath returned upon thee all the blood of the house of Saul, in whose stead thou hast reigned; and the LORD hath delivered the kingdom into the hand of Absalom thy son: and, behold, thou art [taken] in thine own mischief, because thou art a man of blood.
Waaqayyo dhiiga mana Saaʼol kan ati iddoo isaa buutee moote sanaa hundaaf gatii kee siif kenneera. Waaqayyo mootummaa kee sirraa fuudhee ilma kee Abesaaloomiif kenneera. Ati sababii nama dhiigaa taateef ni badda!”
9 Then said Abishai the son of Zeruiah unto the king, Why should this dead dog curse my lord the king? let me go over, I pray thee, and take off his head.
Abiishaayi ilmi Zeruuyaa mootichaan, “Sareen duʼaan kun maaliif gooftaa koo mooticha abaara? Ani dhaqeen mataa isaa irraa kuta” jedhe.
10 And the king said, What have I to do with you, ye sons of Zeruiah? Because he curseth, and because the LORD hath said unto him, Curse David; who then shall say, Wherefore hast thou done so?
Mootichi garuu akkana jedhe; “Yaa ilmaan Zeruuyaa, anii fi isin maal wal irraa qabna? Yoo inni sababii Waaqayyo, ‘Ati Daawitin abaari’ isaan jedheef na abaare eenyutu, ‘Ati maaliif waan kana goota?’ jedhee isa gaafachuu dandaʼa?”
11 And David said to Abishai, and to all his servants, Behold, my son, which came forth of my bowels, seeketh my life: how much more [may] this Benjamite now [do it]? let him alone, and let him curse; for the LORD hath bidden him.
Ergasii Daawit Abiishaayii fi qondaaltota isaa hundaan akkana jedhe; “Ilmi koo kan gudeeda kootii baʼe iyyuu lubbuu koo balleessuu barbaada. Yoos namichi gosa Beniyaam kun hammam kana caalaa hin goone ree! Isa dhiisaa; waan Waaqayyo isa ajajeef inni na haa abaaru.
12 It may be that the LORD will look on the wrong done unto me, and that the LORD will requite me good for [his] cursing of me this day.
Tarii Waaqayyo dhiphina koo argee abaarsa ani harʼa abaaramaa jiru kana waan gaariitti naa geeddara taʼaa.”
13 So David and his men went by the way: and Shimei went along on the hill side over against him, and cursed as he went, and threw stones at him, and cast dust.
Kanaafuu Daawitii fi namoonni isaa karaa isaanii itti fufan; Shimeʼiin immoo isa abaaraa, dhagaa itti darbachaa, awwaaras itti bittinneessaa fuullee isaatiin gaara cina deemaa ture.
14 And the king, and all the people that were with him, came weary; and he refreshed himself there.
Mootichii fi namoonni isa wajjin turan hundi dadhabbii guddaadhaan dhufanii achitti aara galfatan.
15 And Absalom, and all the people the men of Israel, came to Jerusalem, and Ahithophel with him.
Yeroo kanattis Abesaaloomii fi namoonni Israaʼel hundi gara Yerusaalem dhufan; Ahiitofelis isa wajjin ture.
16 And it came to pass, when Hushai the Archite, David’s friend, was come unto Absalom, that Hushai said unto Absalom, God save the king, God save the king.
Huushaayi namichi gosa Arkii michuun Daawit sun Abesaaloom bira dhaqee, “Yaa mootii bara baraan jiraadhu! Yaa mootii bara baraan jiraadhu!” jedheen.
17 And Absalom said to Hushai, Is this thy kindness to thy friend? why wentest thou not with thy friend?
Abesaaloomis, “Jaalalli ati michuu keetiif qabdu kanaa? Ati maaliif michuu kee wajjin hin deemne?” jedhee Huushaayin gaafate.
18 And Hushai said unto Absalom, Nay; but whom the LORD, and this people, and all the men of Israel have chosen, his will I be, and with him will I abide.
Huushaayi immoo Abesaaloomiin akkana jedhe; “Lakki; ani kan nama Waaqayyo, sabni kunii fi namoonni Israaʼel hundi filatanii nan taʼa; isa wajjinis nan jiraadha.
19 And again, whom should I serve? [should I] not [serve] in the presence of his son? as I have served in thy father’s presence, so will I be in thy presence.
Kanaa achi ani eenyun tajaajila? Ani Ilma tajaajiluu hin qabuu? Ani akkuman abbaa kee tajaajile sana siʼi illee nan tajaajila.”
20 Then said Absalom to Ahithophel, Give your counsel what we shall do.
Abesaaloomis Ahiitofeliin, “Mee nu gorsi. Nu maal gochuu qabna?” jedhe.
21 And Ahithophel said unto Absalom, Go in unto thy father’s concubines, which he hath left to keep the house; and all Israel shall hear that thou art abhorred of thy father: then shall the hands of all that are with thee be strong.
Ahiitofelis deebisee, “Ol seeniitii saajjatoowwan abbaa keetii kanneen inni akka isaan masaraa mootii eeganiif dhiisee biraa deeme wajjin ciisi. Ergasii Israaʼeloonni hundi akka ati abbaa kee jibbite dhagaʼanii, harki warra si wajjin jiran hundaas ni jabaataa” jedheen.
22 So they spread Absalom a tent upon the top of the house; and Absalom went in unto his father’s concubines in the sight of all Israel.
Kanaafuu bantii manaa irra Abesaaloomiif dunkaana dhaaban; innis Israaʼeloota hunda duratti saajjatoowwan abbaa isaa wajjin ciise.
23 And the counsel of Ahithophel, which he counselled in those days, was as if a man inquired at the oracle of God: so was all the counsel of Ahithophel both with David and with Absalom.
Bara sanatti gorsi Ahiitofel kennaa ture akkuma waan namni tokko Waaqa gaafatuutti ilaalama ture. Akki itti Daawitis taʼu Abesaaloom gorsa Ahiitofel hunda dhagaʼaa turan kanaa dha.
