< 2 Samuel 21 >
1 During the time that David [ruled], there was a famine [in Israel] for three years. David prayed to Yahweh about it. And Yahweh said, “[In order for the famine to end], Saul’s family needs to be punished [MTY] because Saul killed many people from Gibeon [city].”
Oo wakhtigii Daa'uud abaar baa dhacday intii saddex sannadood ah, oo sannadba sannadda ka dambayso, markaasaa Daa'uud Rabbiga baryay. Rabbiguna wuxuu yidhi, Tanu waxay ku timid Saa'uul iyo reerkiisa dhiigga qaba, maxaa yeelay, wuxuu laayay reer Gibecoon.
2 The people of Gibeon were not Israelis; they were a small group of the Amor people-group whom the Israelis had solemnly promised to protect. But Saul had tried to kill all of them because he (was very zealous/wanted very much) to enable the people of Judah and Israel [to be the only ones living in that land]. So the king summoned the leaders of Gibeon
Markaasaa boqorkii reer Gibecoon u yeedhay, oo ku yidhi; (haddaba reer Gibecoon ma ay ahayn reer binu Israa'iil, laakiinse waxay ahaayeen dad ka hadhay reer Amor; oo reer binu Israa'iilna way u dhaarteen iyaga; oo Saa'uul baa wuxuu damcay inuu laayo iyaga qiiradii uu u qabay reer binu Israa'iil iyo reer Yahuudah aawadeed; )
3 and said to them, “What shall I do for you? How can I make amends/up for what was done to your people, in order that you will bless us who belong to Yahweh?”
oo Daa'uud wuxuu reer Gibecoon ku yidhi, War maxaan idiin sameeyaa? Oo maxaan kafaaraggud u bixiyaa si aad dhaxalka Rabbiga ugu ducaysaan?
4 They replied, “You cannot settle our quarrel with Saul and his family by giving us silver or gold. And we do not have the right to kill any Israelis.” So David asked, “Then/So what do you say that I should do for you?”
Oo reer Gibecoonna waxay ku yidhaahdeen, Annaga iyo Saa'uul, iyo reerkiisa waxa na dhex yaallaa ma aha xaal ku eg lacag iyo dahab; oo annana dooni mayno inaannu reer binu Israa'iil nin ka dilno. Markaasuu ku yidhi, Haddaba wixii aad tidhaahdaan waan idiin samaynayaa.
5 They replied, “Saul [wanted to] get rid of us. He wanted to annihilate/kill all of us, in order that none of us would live anywhere in Israel.
Iyana waxay boqorkii ku yidhaahdeen, Ninkii na baabbi'iyey, oo ku fikiray in nala laayo, oo aannan dhex degganaan waddanka reer binu Israa'iil oo dhan,
6 Hand over to us seven of Saul’s descendants. We will hang them where Yahweh is worshiped in Gibeon, our town, the town where Saul, whom Yahweh previously chose to be king, lived.” The king replied, “Okay, I will hand them over to you.”
ha naloo keeno toddoba nin oo wiilashiisii ah, oo Rabbiga ayaannu ugu deldelaynaa Gibecaahdii Saa'uul, kii Rabbigu doortay.
7 The king did not hand over to them Saul’s grandson Mephibosheth, because of what he and [Mephibosheth’s father] Jonathan had solemnly promised to each other.
Laakiinse boqorkii wuu badbaadiyey Mefiiboshed, oo ahaa ina Yoonaataan ina Saa'uul, maxaa yeelay, dhaartii Rabbiga ayaa u dhexaysay Daa'uud iyo Yoonaataan ina Saa'uul.
8 Instead, he took Armoni and another man named Mephibosheth, the two sons that Saul’s slave wife Rizpah, the daughter of Aiah, had given birth to, and the five sons that Saul’s daughter Merab had given birth to. Merab’s husband was Adriel, the son of a man named Barzillai from Meholah [town].
Laakiinse boqorkii wuxuu soo qabtay labadii wiil ee Risfaah ina Ayah, oo ay u dhashay Saa'uul, kuwaas oo ahaa Armonii iyo Mefiiboshed, iyo shantii wiil ee Miikaal ina Saa'uul, oo ay u dhashay Cadrii'eel ina Barsillay kii reer Mexolaad;
9 David handed those men over to the men from Gibeon. Then they hanged those seven men on a hill where they worshiped Yahweh. They were all killed during the time of the year that the people started to harvest the barley.
oo wuxuu u gacangeliyey reer Gibecoon, oo buurtay ku deldeleen Rabbiga hortiisa, oo toddobadoodiiba way wada dhinteen; oo waxaana la dilay xilligii beergooyska maalmaha ugu horreeya, marka shaciirka la gooyo.
10 Then Rizpah took coarse cloth made from goats’ hair, and spread it on the rock [where the corpses lay]. She stayed there from the time that people started to harvest the barley until the rains started. She did not allow any birds to come near the corpses during the day, and she did not allow any animals to come near during the night.
Markaasaa Risfaah oo ahayd ina Ayah ayaa soo qaadatay dhar joonyad ah oo waxay ku goglatay dhagaxa, halkaasna waxay joogtay wakhtigii beergooyska iyo ilaa roob cirka ka soo daatay; oo maalintiina uma ay oggolaan in haadka hawadu ku dego, habeenkiina waxay ka dhawri jirtay dugaagga duurka.
11 When someone told David what Rizpah had done,
Oo waxaa Daa'uud loo soo sheegay wixii ay samaysay Risfaah ina Ayah oo ahayd Saa'uul naagtiisii addoonta ahayd.
12 he went with some of his servants to Jabesh in [the] Gilead [region] and got the bones of Saul and his son Jonathan. The people of Jabesh had stolen their bones from the (plaza/public square) in Beth-Shan [city], where the men from Philistia had hanged them previously, on the day that they had killed Saul and Jonathan on Gilboa [Mountain].
Oo Daa'uud intuu tegey ayuu lafihii Saa'uul iyo lafihii wiilkiisii Yoonaataan ka soo qaaday dadkii reer Yaabeesh Gilecaad oo ka xaday jidkii Beytshaan, kaasoo ah meeshii ay reer Falastiin ku deldeleen iyaga, maalintii ay reer Falastiin Saa'uul ku dileen Gilboca,
13 David and his men took the bones of Saul and Jonathan, and they also took the bones of the seven men [from Gibeon] whom the men from Philistia had hanged.
oo halkaasuu ka soo qaaday lafihii Saa'uul iyo lafihii wiilkiisii Yoonaataan; oo waxaa la soo ururiyey kuwii la deldelay lafahoodii.
14 They buried the bones of Saul and Jonathan in Zela [town] in the land of [the tribe of] Benjamin. Doing all that the king commanded, they buried their bones in the tomb where Saul’s father Kish [was buried]. After that, [because] God [saw that Saul’s family had been punished to pay for Saul’s murder of many people from Gibeon, he] answered the Israelis’ prayers for their land, and caused the famine to end.
Oo lafihii Saa'uul iyo lafihii wiilkiisii Yoonaataan waxaa lagu aasay dalka reer Benyaamiin meel ku taal oo la yidhaahdo Seelac, oo waxaa la geliyey qabrigii aabbihiis Qiish; oo waxaa la sameeyey kulli wixii boqorku ku amray oo dhan. Oo taas dabadeedna Ilaah baa dalkii loo baryay.
15 The army of Philistia again started to fight against the army of Israel. And David and his soldiers went to fight the Philistines. During the battle, David became weary.
Oo haddana reer Falastiin waxay la dirireen reer binu Israa'iil, markaasaa Daa'uud dhaadhacay isaga iyo addoommadiisii la socdayba, oo waxay la dirireen reer Falastiin; laakiinse Daa'uud wuu taag gabay.
16 One of the Philistia men thought that he could kill David. His name was Ishbi-Benob. He was a descendant of [a group of] giants. He carried a bronze spear that weighed about (7-1/2 pounds/3-1/2 kg.), and he also had a new sword.
Oo Yiishbii Benob, oo ka mid ahaa wiilashii Rafaa, oo miisaanka warankiisu ahaa saddex boqol oo sheqel oo naxaas ah, oo seef cusubuna dhexday ugu xidhnayd, ayaa damcay inuu Daa'uud dilo.
17 But Abishai came to help David, and attacked the giant and killed him. Then David’s soldiers forced him to promise that he would not go with them into a battle again. They said to him, “[If you die, and none of your descendants become king, that would be like] [MET] extinguishing the last light in Israel.”
Laakiinse Daa'uud waxaa caawiyey Abiishay oo ay Seruuyaah dhashay, oo intuu kii reer Falastiin wax ku dhuftay ayuu dilay. Markaasaa Daa'uud raggiisii dhaar u mareen, oo ku yidhaahdeen, Adigu mar dambe dagaal noola bixi maysid, yaadan laambadda reer binu Israa'iil bakhtiine.
18 Some time after that, there was a battle with the army of Philistia near Gob [village]. During the battle, Sibbecai, from [the] Hushah [clan], killed Saph, one of the descendants of the Rapha giants.
Oo taas dabadeed waxay noqotay in reer Falastiin haddana Goob lagula diriray, oo Sibbekay oo reer Xushaad ahaa wuxuu dilay Saf oo ahaa mid ka mid ah wiilashii Rafaa.
19 [Later] there was another battle with the army of Philistia at Gob. During that battle, Elhanan, the son of Jaare-Oregim from Bethlehem, killed [the brother of] Goliath from Gath [city]; Goliath’s spear shaft/handle was (very thick, like the bar on a weaver’s loom/over two inches thick).
Oo haddana reer Falastiin waxaa lagula diriray Goob; oo Elxaanaan ina Yacaray Oregiim oo reer Beytlaxam ahaa wuxuu dilay Goli'ad oo reer Gad ahaa, oo samayda warankiisuna waxay le'ekayd dharsameeyaha looxiisa.
20 Later there was another battle near Gath. There was a (huge man/giant) there who liked to fight [in battles]. He had six fingers on each hand and six toes on each foot. He was descended from [the] Rapha [giants].
Oo haddana waxaa dagaal ka dhacay Gad, halkaasna waxaa joogay nin aad u dheer, oo gacmahana mid kasta wuxuu ku lahaa lix farood, cagahana mid kasta wuxuu ku lahaa lix farood, oo farihiisuna kulligood waxay ahaayeen afar iyo labaatan, oo isna wuxuu u dhashay Rafaa.
21 But when he (made fun of/ridiculed) the men in the Israeli [army], Jonathan, the son of David’s [older] brother Shimeah, killed him.
Oo markuu reer binu Israa'iil caayay, waxaa isagii dilay Yoonaataan oo uu Daa'uud walaalkiisii Shimcii ahaa dhalay.
22 Those four men were some of the descendants of the Rapha giants who had lived in Gath, who were killed [MTY] by David and his soldiers.
Afartaasu waxay Rafaa ugu dhasheen Gad; oo waxay ku dhinteen Daa'uud gacantiisii, iyo gacantii addoommadiisa.
