2 ሳሙኤል 18:13
ካልእ እንታይ ነበረ እኔ ብዘይሓቂ ስራሕ ናተይ ሕይወት ላዕለ ክጽርሕ ነበር፤ ከምዚ ንጉስ ካብዝሓለፈ ጉዳይ የለን፣ ንኣነ ራስኻ ብናተይ ትነሱ ነበርካ።
ካልእ እንታይ ነበረ እኔ ብዘይሓቂ ስራሕ ናተይ ሕይወት ላዕለ ክጽርሕ ነበር፤ ከምዚ ንጉስ ካብዝሓለፈ ጉዳይ የለን፣ ንኣነ ራስኻ ብናተይ ትነሱ ነበርካ።
ያ ካልሆነ በራሴ ሕይወት ላይ በውሸት ነገር እተጋ ነበር፤ ከንጉሥ ምንም ነገር አይሰወርም፤ አንተም ራስህ በእኔ ላይ ቆም ነበር።
ንነፍሱ ደፊረያ ኸም ዝዀንኩ ድማ፡ ካብ ንጉስ ዚሕባእ አገርሲ የልቦን፡ ንስኻ ኸኣ ምተቓወምካኒ ኔርካ፡ በሎ።
'If I had acted treacherously against my own life, nothing is hidden from the king, and you yourself would have kept your distance from me.'
Otherwise I should have wrought falsehood against mine own life: for there is no matter hid from the king, and thou thyself wouldest have set thyself against me.
Otherwise I should have acted falsely against my own life: for nothing is hidden from the king, and you yourself would have set yourself against me.
Or yf I had dyssembled vpon the ioperdy of myne owne soule (for so moch as nothinge shulde be hyd from ye kinge) thou thy selfe shuldest haue stode against me.
If I had done it, it had bene the danger of my life: for nothing can be hid from the King: yea, thou thy selfe wouldest haue bin against me.
Moreouer, if I had done it, I shoulde haue done against mine owne lyfe: for there is no matter hyd from the king, yea & thou thy selfe wouldest haue ben against me.
Otherwise I should have wrought falsehood against mine own life: for there is no matter hid from the king, and thou thyself wouldest have set thyself against [me].
Otherwise if I had dealt falsely against his life (and there is no matter hid from the king), then you yourself would have set yourself against [me].
or I had done against my soul a vain thing, and no matter is hid from the king, and thou -- thou dost station thyself over-against.'
Otherwise if I had dealt falsely against his life (and there is no matter hid from the king), then thou thyself wouldest have set thyself against `me'.
Otherwise if I had dealt falsely against his life (and there is no matter hid from the king), then thou thyself wouldest have set thyself against [me] .
And if I had falsely put him to death (and nothing may be kept secret from the king), you would have had nothing to do with me.
Otherwise if I had dealt falsely against his life (and there is no matter hidden from the king), then you yourself would have set yourself against me."
If I had acted at risk of my own life– and nothing is hidden from the king!– you would have abandoned me.”
እዚኦም ጥቅሳት ብAI ዝተሓዘ ስምናዊ ተመሳሳሊነት ብመርሓ ኣብ ፍርሓትን ኣብ ኣእምሮን ዝመስሉ ተረኺቡ እዮም። እቶም ውጽኢታት እንተገናእ ዘይመርቱ ግንኙነታት ክኾኑ ይኽእሉ።
10ሓደ ሰብ እዚ ርእዮ ንዮዓብ ነገረዮ፣ «ኣብሴሎም ኣብ ዛጋ ተሰነሰነ ርእየየዶ» ብሎ።
11ዮዓብ ንተነግሮ ሰብ ኣለዎ፣ «እኮ ርእይካዮ እንተ ኮይንካ፣ ስለ ምንታይ ኣብዚ ኣይተቐተልካዮ ክሳብ መሬት ክትወርድዮ? እኔ ሓደሽ ዓሰርተ ሸቅል ብሰሊጥን ኣንፈይን ክህብካ ነበረ ኣሎ።»
12እሱ ግን ንዮዓብ መለሰ፣ «እንኳ ሺሕ ሸቅል ብሰሊጥ ብእጄ እንተሰገነ፣ እጄ ኣብ ወዲ ንጉስ ኣታ ኣይሰግንም። እኛ እንተሰምዶ ኣለና ንስኻን ኣቢሳይን ኢታይን ንጉሱ ዝነገረኩም ትእዛዝ፣ ‘ወዲ እቲ ኣብሴሎም ማንኛይ ኣይትነኩዉ’ ብሎ።»
14ዮዓብ ኣለዎ፣ «ኣብዚ ከመዚ ምትዕጽል ኣይክእልን» ብሎ ሶስተ ኣጥር መወዳእታት በእጁ ኣንብሮ ኣብ መካከል ዛጋ እዩ ዝነበረ ኣብሴሎም ልቡ ላዕለዉ ገብሮ ቀተሎ።
15ከዚ ዓሰርቱ ወጣት ዘሓቑ ጦር-መሳርሒ ዮዓብ ኣብ ዙሪያ ኣብሴሎም ከበዱ መት ወግሮ ቀተሉዮ።
5ንጉሱ ዮዓብን ኣቢሳይን ኢታይን ኣዝዮም ኣለዎም፣ «በጃዬ ንወዲ ኣብሴሎም ብርሕ ተኣካልዩ» ብሎ። ስለ ኣብሴሎም እዚ እንተ ንጉሱ ንኹሉ ኣለቃት ትእዛዝ ዝሰጠ ሕዝቡ ኩሉ ሰሚዖ።
29ንጉሱ ኣለዎ፣ «እቲ ወዲ ኣብሴሎም ሰላም ኣለዎ?» ኣሂማዝ መለሰ፣ «ዮዓብ ኣገልጋይ ንጉስ ንንስኻ እንተ ላአነና እኔ ኣገልጋይካ ድማ፣ ዓቢ ውግዓት ረኣይና እዩ ነበር፣ ግን ምንታይ እዩ ኣይፈልጥኩን።»
30ንጉሱ ኣለዎ፣ «ኣንሰኽ ሓሊፍ ኣብዚ ቆም» ብሎ። እሱ ሓሊፈ ቆመ።
33ንጉሱ ብጣዕሚ ተናዕሶ ላዕሊ መደብ ዘለዎ ክፍሊ ዓርገ ሓዛ ተዋሂደ፤ እዚ እዩ ምስ ዝሄድ ይበል ነበረ፣ «ወይ ወዲየ ኣብሴሎም፣ ወዲየ፣ ወዲየ ኣብሴሎም! እኔ በእንተካ እንተ ሞት ነበርኩ! ወይ ኣብሴሎም፣ ወዲየ፣ ወዲየ!»
18ኣብሴሎም ግን ኣብ ሕይወቱ ዝነበረ ጊዜ ስለ ራሱ ኣምድ ኣዘረገ ኣቀመጠ፣ ዘሎ እዩ ኣብ ሸለቆ ንጉስ። እቲ ዝበለ ነገር፣ «ስሜ ክይትውስኽ ወዲ የለኒ» እዩ ነበር፤ ስለዚ ስሙ እቲ ኣምድ ኣጠርዩ ነበር፣ እስከ ሎም ድማ «ቦታ ኣብሴሎም» ይብል ይጠራ።
16ዳዊት ኣለዎ፣ ደምኻ ኣብ ራስኻ ይኸውን፤ ኣፍኻ እቲ ምስክር ብሆነ ኣመሰክረ ስለ ነበረ፣ «ምርጹ እግዚኣብሔር ገደልኩ» እተበለካ።
10እነዚ ብላዕሌ ቆምኩ ገድልኩዎ፣ ዝወድቐ ድሕሪኡ ድግማ ክንደግ ኣይክእልን ከም ዝኾነ ዝተረዲኡኒ ስለ ነበር። ኣብ ራሱ ዘለዎ ክርንን ኣብ ክንዲኡ ዘለዋ ጌጥን ወሲድኩ ኣብዚ ንጌታይ ኣመጻኣቶም።
