2 Samuel 2
1 Sometime after this, David asked the Lord, “Should I go to one of the towns of Judah?” “Yes, do it,” the Lord replied. “Which one should I go to?” David asked. “Go to Hebron,” said the Lord.
Markaas dabadeed Daa'uud baa Rabbiga wax weyddiiyey, oo yidhi, Magaalooyinka dalka Yahuudah middood ma u kacaa? Rabbiguna wuxuu ku yidhi, Haah, u kac. Markaasaa Daa'uud yidhi, Xaggee baan u kacaa? Isna wuxuu yidhi, Xebroon tag.
2 So David moved there with his two wives, Ahinoam from Jezreel and Abigail, Nabal's widow from Carmel.
Saas daraaddeed Daa'uud halkaasuu u kacay, oo labadiisii naagoodna way raaceen, kuwaas oo ahaa Axiinocam tii reer Yesreceel, iyo Abiigayil oo u dhaxday Naabaal kii reer Karmel.
3 He also brought the men who were with him, along with their families, and they settled in the villages near Hebron.
Oo raggiisii isaga la jirayna Daa'uud wuu kaxaystay, iyadoo nin waluba reerkiisii wato; oo waxay degeen magaalooyinkii Xebroon.
4 Then the men of Judah came to Hebron, and there they anointed David king of the people of Judah. When David found out that it was the men from Jabesh Gilead who had buried Saul,
Markaasaa dadkii dalka Yahuudah yimid, oo halkaasay Daa'uud ugu subkeen inuu ahaado boqor u taliya dalka Yahuudah. Waxaana Daa'uud loo sheegay, oo lagu yidhi, Kuwii Saa'uul aasay waxay ahaayeen dadka reer Yaabeesh Gilecaad.
5 he sent messengers to them, saying, “May the Lord bless you, because you demonstrated your loyal love to Saul your master, and you buried him properly.
Markaasaa Daa'uud wargeeyayaal u diray dadkii reer Yaabeesh Gilecaad, oo ku yidhi, Rabbigu ha idin barakeeyo, waayo, waad u roonaateen oo aasteen sayidkiinnii Saa'uul ahaa.
6 Now may the Lord show you loyal love and trustworthiness, and I will also be good to you because of what you did for Saul.
Haddaba Rabbigu ha idiin roonaado oo runtana ha idin tuso; oo anna waan idiinka abaalgudi doonaa roonaantaas, maxaa yeelay, idinku waxaas baad samayseen.
7 So be strong and be brave, for even though Saul your master is dead, the people of Judah have anointed me as their king.”
Haddaba gacmihiinnu ha xoogaysteen, oo idinna xoog yeesha, waayo, sayidkiinnii Saa'uul waa dhintay, oo reer Yahuudahna anigay ii subkeen inaan u ahaado boqor u taliya.
8 However, Abner, son of Ner, commander of Saul's army, had taken Ishbosheth, son of Saul, to Mahanaim.
Haddaba Abneer oo ahaa ina Neer, oo Saa'uul ciidankiisa sirkaal u ahaa ayaa soo kaxaystay Iishboshed oo ahaa ina Saa'uul, oo wuxuu u soo gudbiyey xagga Maxanayim;
9 There he set up Ishbosheth as king over Gilead, Asher, Jezreel, Ephraim, and Benjamin, in fact over all Israel.
oo wuxuu boqor uga dhigay reer Gilecaad, iyo reer Ashuur, iyo Yesreceel, iyo reer Efrayim, iyo Benyaamiin, iyo reer binu Israa'iil oo dhan.
10 Ishbosheth, son of Saul, was forty when he became king over Israel, and he reigned for two years. However, the people of Judah were on David's side.
(Oo Iishboshed oo ahaa ina Saa'uul afartan sannadood buu jiray markii uu bilaabay inuu boqor u noqdo reer binu Israa'iil, oo wuxuuna boqor u ahaa laba sannadood.) Laakiinse reer Yahuudah waxay raaceen Daa'uud.
11 David ruled in Hebron as king over the people of Judah for seven years and six months.
Oo wakhtigii Daa'uud Xebroon boqorka ugu ahaa reer Yahuudah wuxuu ahaa toddoba sannadood iyo lix bilood.
12 One day Abner and Ishbosheth's men left Mahanaim and went to the town of Gibeon.
Markaasaa Abneer oo ahaa ina Neer, iyo addoommadii Iishboshed ina Saa'uul, Maxanayim ka soo baxeen, oo waxay tageen Gibecoon.
13 Joab, son of Zeruiah, and David's men set off and met them at the pool of Gibeon, where they all sat down, facing each other across the pool.
Kolkaasaa Yoo'aab oo ay Seruuyaah dhashay, iyo addoommadii Daa'uud soo baxeen, oo waxay ku wada kulmeen balligii Gibecoon agtiisa; oo iyana qolo waxay balliga ka fadhiisatay dhinac, qoladii kalena waxay balliga ka fadhiisteen dhinacii kale.
14 Abner said to Joab, “Why not let's have some of the men fight in hand to hand combat before us.” “Fine,” Joab agreed.
Markaasaa Abneer wuxuu Yoo'aab ku yidhi, Waan ku baryayaaye, ragga dhallinyarada ahu ha kaceen oo horteenna ha ku cayaareen. Yoo'aabna wuxuu yidhi, Waa yahay ee ha kaceen.
15 So twelve men came forward from each side—twelve for Benjamin and Ishbosheth, and twelve for David.
Markaasay kaceen oo tiro ku gudbeen; oo waxay ahaayeen laba iyo toban reer Benyaamiin ah, oo ka socda xaggii Iishboshed oo ahaa ina Saa'uul, iyo laba iyo toban ka socda addoommadii Daa'uud.
16 Each man grabbed his opponent's head and drove his sword into his opponent's side so that they all fell down dead together. That's why this place in Gibeon is called the Field of Sword-edges.
Oo mid waluba ninkiisii ayuu madaxa qabsaday, oo seeftiisii ayuu dhinaca ka daray midkii uu haystay. Sidaasay dhammaantood u wada dhaceen. Saas aawadeed meeshaas oo Gibecoon ku taal waxaa loo baxshay Xelqad Hasuriim.
17 The battle that followed was hard-fought, but eventually Abner and his men were defeated by David's men.
Oo dagaalkiina aad buu u kululaaday maalintaas; oo waxaa laga adkaaday Abneer, iyo raggii reer binu Israa'iil, waxaana ka reeyey addoommadii Daa'uud.
18 The three sons of Zeruiah were there: Joab, Abishai, and Asahel. Asahel was a fast runner, like a gazelle racing across the open countryside.
Oo saddexdii wiil ee ay Seruuyaah dhashay halkaas ayay wada joogeen, kuwaasoo ahaa Yoo'aab iyo Abiishay iyo Casaaheel. Casaaheelna wuxuu u cago fududaa sida cawsha duurka.
19 He chased after Abner with single-minded determination.
Markaasaa Casaaheel wuxuu eryaday Abneer, oo intuu Abneer eryanayayna uma uu leexan midig iyo bidix toona.
20 Abner looked back and asked, “Is that you, Asahel?” “Yes, it's me,” Asahel replied.
Markaasaa Abneer gadaashiisa dhugtay, oo wuxuu yidhi, War ma adigii baa, Casaaheelow? Oo isna wuxuu ugu jawaabay, Haah, waa anigii.
21 Abner told him, “Leave me alone! Go and fight somebody else and take his weapons for yourself!” But Asahel refused to stop chasing him.
Markaasaa Abneer wuxuu ku yidhi, War midigta ama bidixda u leexo, oo ragga dhallinyarada ah midkood qabso, oo ka soo qaado hubkiisa dagaalka. Laakiinse Casaaheel wuu diiday inuu isaga ka leexdo.
22 Abner warned Asahel again. “Stop chasing me!” he shouted. “Why do you want me to kill you? How could I ever face your brother Joab?”
Markaasaa Abneer haddana Casaaheel ku yidhi, War ha i eryane, gees iiga leexo; maxaan dhulka kuugu dhufanayaa? Haddaba sidee baan wejiga u siin karayaa walaalkaa Yoo'aab?
23 But Asahel wouldn't stop chasing him, so Abner drove the handle of his spear into his belly. It came out the back, and he fell down dead right there. Everyone who passed by stopped at the place where Asahel had fallen and died.
Habase yeeshee wuu diiday inuu gees uga leexdo; sidaas daraaddeed Abneer waranka dabadiisii ayuu caloosha kaga dhuftay, warankiina dib buu uga mudhbaxay; markaasuu halkaas ku dhacay, oo isla meeshaasuu ku dhintay; oo in alla intii soo gaadhay meeshii Casaaheel ku dhacay oo ku dhintay way wada istaageen.
24 But Joab and Abishai set off to chase after Abner. By the time the sun went down they had got as far as the hill of Ammah near Giah, on the way to the wilderness of Gibeon.
Laakiinse Yoo'aab iyo Abiishay waxay eryadeen Abneer; oo qorraxdiina way dhacday markii ay yimaadeen buurtii Ammaah oo ku hor taal Giyax ee ku ag taal waddada cidlada Gibecoon.
25 Abner's men from the tribe of Benjamin rallied to him there, forming a tight group around him standing at the top of the hill.
Markaasaa reer Benyaamiin dhammaantood soo wada urureen oo Abneer soo daba galeen, oo waxay noqdeen guuto keliya, markaasay buur isku dul taageen.
26 Abner shouted to Joab: “Do we have to keep killing each other forever? Don't you realize that if we go on it'll only get worse? How long are you going to wait before you order your men to stop chasing their brothers?”
Dabadeedna Abneer wuxuu u dhawaaqay Yoo'aab, oo ku yidhi, War seeftu miyey weligeed baabbi'inaysaa? Ugudambaystase inay qadhaadh noqonayso sow ma ogid? Haddaba ilaa goormay noqonaysaa markaad dadka kala hadlayso inay ka hadhaan walaalahooda ay eryanayaan?
27 “As God lives,” Joab replied, “if you had not said anything, my men would have continued chasing their brothers until the morning.”
Markaasaa Yoo'aab wuxuu yidhi, Rabbiga noloshiisaan ku dhaartaye, haddaadan hadlin, hubaal dadku subaxda waa iska tegi lahaa oo ninnaba walaalkiis ma eryadeen.
28 Joab blew the horn so all the men stopped—they didn't continue chasing or fighting the Israelites.
Sidaas daraaddeed Yoo'aab buunkii buu afuufay, oo dadkii oo dhammu way wada istaageen, oo mar dambe reer binu Israa'iilna ma ayan eryan, kol kalena ma ay diririn.
29 All through the night Abner and his men marched through the Jordan Valley. They crossed the Jordan River, and continued all morning until they arrived back at Mahanaim.
Oo Abneer iyo raggiisiina habeenkii oo dhan ayay sii dhex guuraynayeen Caraabaah; wayna ka gudbeen Webi Urdun, oo Bitroon oo dhanna way dhex mareen, oo waxay yimaadeen Maxanayim.
30 When Joab got back from chasing Abner, he gathered all the men together. Nineteen of David's men were missing in addition to Asahel.
Oo Yoo'aabna wuu ka noqday eryadkii uu Abneer eryanayay; oo markuu dadkii oo dhan soo urursaday, waxaa addoommadii Daa'uud ka dhinnaaday sagaal iyo toban nin iyo Casaaheel.
31 However, they had killed three hundred and sixty of Abner's men from the tribe of Benjamin.
Laakiinse addoommadii Daa'uud wax bay reer Benyaamiin iyo raggii Abneer ka laayeen, oo waxaa ka dhintay saddex boqol iyo lixdan nin.
32 They took Asahel's body and buried him in his father's tomb in Bethlehem. Then they marched all through the night and reached Hebron at dawn.
Markaasay Casaaheel qaadeen oo ku aaseen qabrigii aabbihiis, oo ku yiil Beytlaxam. Oo Yoo'aab iyo raggiisiina habeenkii oo dhan ayay guureeyeen oo waxaa waagu ugu beryay Xebroon.
