< 2 Samuel 3 >

1 There was a long war between those who wanted Saul’s son to be their king and those who wanted David to be their king. But more and more people began to want David to be the king, while the number of people who wanted Saul’s son to be the king continued to become smaller.
Haddaba waxaa jiray dagaal dheer oo dhex maray reer Saa'uul iyo reer Daa'uud; oo Daa'uudna waa sii xoog badnaanayay, laakiinse reer Saa'uul way sii xoog yaraanayeen.
2 David’s wives gave birth to six sons at Hebron. The oldest was Amnon, whose mother was Ahinoam, from Jezreel [city].
Oo Daa'uudna wiilal baa ugu dhashay Xebroon. Curadkiisu wuxuu ahaa Amnoon, oo waxaa dhashay Axiinocam tii reer Yesreceel.
3 The next one was Kileab, whose mother was Abigail, the widow of Nabal, from Carmel [city]. The next one was Absalom, whose mother was Maacah, the daughter of Talmai, the king of [the] Geshur [region].
Wiilkiisii labaadna wuxuu ahaa Kile'aab, oo waxaa dhashay Abiigayil oo u dhaxday Naabaal kii reer Karmel. Kan saddexaadna wuxuu ahaa Absaaloom oo waxaa dhashay Macakaah oo ahayd boqorkii Geshuur oo Talmay ahaa gabadhiisii.
4 The next one was Adonijah, whose mother was Haggith. The next one was Shephatiah, whose mother was Abital.
Kan afraadna wuxuu ahaa Adoniiyaah oo waxaa dhashay Xaggiid. Kan shanaadna wuxuu ahaa Shefatyaah oo waxaa dhashay Abiital.
5 The youngest one was Ithream, whose mother was Eglah, [another one of] David’s wives. Those sons of David were all born in Hebron.
Kan lixaadna wuxuu ahaa Yitrecaam, oo waxaa dhashay Ceglaah oo Daa'uud u dhaxday. Intaasu waxay Daa'uud ugu dhasheen Xebroon.
6 While those who wanted Saul’s son to rule over them and those who wanted David to rule over them continued to fight against each other, Abner was becoming more influential among those who wanted Saul’s son to be the king.
Intii ay reer Saa'uul iyo reer Daa'uud dagaallamayeen ayaa Abneer aad ugu xoogaystay reerkii Saa'uul.
7 When Saul was alive, he had as one of his wives a slave woman named Rizpah, the daughter of Aiah. [But one day Abner had sexual relations with her]. So Ishbosheth said to Abner, “Why have you had sexual relations with [EUP] my father’s slave wife?”
Haddaba Saa'uul wuxuu lahaa naag addoon ah oo magaceedana la odhan jiray Risfaah, waxayna ahayd ina Ayah; oo Iishboshed wuxuu Abneer ku yidhi, War maxaad ugu tagtay addoontii aabbahay?
8 Abner became very angry about what Ishbosheth said to him. He said to Ishbosheth, “(Do you think that I am a [worthless] dog [MET] from Judah?/You are treating me as though I am a [worthless] dog [MET] from Judah.) [RHQ] From the beginning, I have been loyal to Saul your father, to his brothers, and to his friends. And I have prevented you from being defeated by David’s army. So now (why are you criticizing me about [what I have done with] some woman?/you should not be criticizing me about [what I have done with] some woman.) [RHQ]
Markaasaa Abneer aad ugu cadhooday erayadii Iishboshed, oo wuxuu yidhi, Anigu ma waxaan ahay madax eey oo reer Yahuudah leeyihiin? Bal maanta raxmad baan tusayaa reerkii aabbahaa Saa'uul, iyo walaalihiis, iyo saaxiibbadiis, oo adigana kuuma aan gacangelin Daa'uud, oo weliba maanta waxaad igu eedaynaysaa wax ku saabsan naagtan.
9 Yahweh solemnly promised that he would not allow Saul and his descendants to continue to rule. He promised that he would cause David to rule over all the tribes of Israel and Judah, from Dan [city] far in the north to Beersheba [city] far in the south. So I hope/desire that God will punish me severely [HYP] if I do not enable that to happen!”
Haddaba sidii Rabbigu ugu dhaartay Daa'uud, Ilaah saas iyo si ka sii badanba anoo Abneer ah, ha igu sameeyo haddaanan saas oo kale isaga ku samayn,
taasoo ah inaan boqortooyada ka wareejiyo reer Saa'uul, iyo inaan carshiga Daa'uud u qotomiyo reer binu Israa'iil iyo reer binu Yahuudah, iyo tan iyo Daan iyo ilaa Bi'ir Shebac.
11 Ishbosheth was very afraid of Abner, so he did not say anything in reply to Abner.
Oo isna eray dambe wuu ugu jawaabi waayay Abneer, maxaa yeelay, wuu ka cabsanayay.
12 Then Abner sent messengers to David [when he was at Hebron], to say to him, “[Either you or I] should be [RHQ] the ruler of this entire nation, [but not Isbosheth. However, ] if you make an agreement with me, I will help you by encouraging all the people of Israel to (be want you to be their king/start to support) you.”
Markaasaa Abneer wuxuu Daa'uud u soo diray wargeeyayaal magiciisa ku hadlaya, oo leh, War dhulka yaa leh? Oo wuxuu kaloo ku yidhi, Heshiis ila dhigo, anna gacan baan ku siinayaa, inaan kuu soo wada jeediyo reer binu Israa'iil oo dhan.
13 David sent back this reply: “Good! I am willing to make an agreement with you. But before that happens, there is one thing that you must do. When you come to see me, you must bring my wife Michal, Saul’s daughter.”
Markaasuu yidhi, Waa hagaag; heshiis baan kula dhiganayaa, laakiinse wax baan kaa doonayaa, taasuna waxaa weeyaan, markaad ii timaadid waa inaadan i hor iman adoo marka hore Miikaal oo ah ina Saa'uul i soo hor taaga mooyaane.
14 Then David sent messengers to Ishbosheth, to say to him, “I [had to kill] 100 men from Philistia [and cut off] their foreskins to give to Saul to pay for Michal [to be my wife]. So now give her back to me!”
Oo Daa'uudna wargeeyayaal buu u diray Iishboshed oo ahaa ina Saa'uul, isagoo leh, Ii keen naagtaydii Miikaal, oo aan ku guursaday boqol buuryo oo reer Falastiin.
15 So Ishbosheth sent some men to take Michal from her husband Palti. But [when they took her, ] her husband followed them all the way to Bahurim [town], crying as he went.
Markaasaa Iishboshed rag u diray oo iyadii ka soo kexeeyey ninkeedii, kaasoo ahaa Faltii'eel ina Layish.
16 Then Abner [turned and] said to him, “Go back [home]!”, so he did.
Markaasaa ninkeedii soo raacay iyadii, isagoo ooyaya intuu socday oo dhan, oo wuxuu iyadii daba socday tan iyo Baxuuriim. Markaasaa Abneer ku yidhi, War orod, oo iska noqo. Kolkaasuu iska noqday.
17 Abner went to the Israeli leaders and talked with them. He said, “For a long time you have wanted David to be your king.
Oo Abneerna wuxuu la arrinsaday odayaashii reer binu Israa'iil, oo ku yidhi, Waa hore waxaad doonayseen in Daa'uud boqor idiin noqdo.
18 So now you have an opportunity to do that. Keep in mind that Yahweh promised this: ‘With the help of David, who serves me [well], I will rescue my people from the people of Philistia, and from the power [MTY] of all their other enemies’.”
Haddaba haatan sidii yeela, waayo, Rabbigu Daa'uud buu ka hadlay, oo yidhi, Addoonkayga Daa'uud gacantiisa ayaan dadkayga reer binu Israa'iil kaga badbaadin doonaa gacanta reer Falastiin iyo gacanta cadaawayaashooda oo dhanba.
19 Abner also spoke to the people of the tribe of Benjamin. Then he went to Hebron, to tell David what all the people of Israel and the people of the tribe of Benjamin had agreed to do.
Oo Abneer wuxuu kaloo la hadlay reer Benyaamiin; oo weliba Abneer wuxuu Daa'uud ugu yimid Xebroon si uu ugu sheego waxa la wanaagsan reer binu Israa'iil oo dhan, iyo reer Benyaamiin oo dhanba.
20 When Abner came with 20 of his soldiers to see David at Hebron, David made a feast for all of them.
Saas aawadeed Abneer wuxuu Daa'uud ugu yimid Xebroon, labaatan nin baana la socday. Oo Daa'uudna diyaafad ayuu Abneer iyo raggii la socdayba u sameeyey.
21 Afterwards, Abner said to David, “Sir/Your majesty, I will now go and encourage all the people of Israel to accept you to be their king, as you have desired.” Then Abner left, peacefully.
Markaasaa Abneer Daa'uud ku yidhi, Anigu waan kacayaa, waanan tegayaa, oo reer binu Israa'iil oo dhanna waan kuu soo wada ururin doonaa, boqorow, sayidkaygiiyow, inay axdi kula dhigtaan oo adna aad xukuntid in alla intii naftaadu doonayso. Markaasaa Daa'uud Abneer iska diray; oo isna nabad buu ku tegey.
22 Soon after that, Joab and some of David’s other soldiers returned [to Hebron] after raiding [one of their enemies’ villages], bringing with them a lot of things that they had captured. But Abner was not there at Hebron, because David had sent him safely home.
Oo bal eeg, Daa'uud addoommadiisii iyo Yoo'aabba waxay ka yimaadeen duulaan, iyagoo dhac badan wada, laakiinse Abneer Daa'uud lama joogin Xebroon, waayo, wuu iska diray, oo isna nabad buu ku tegey.
23 When Joab and the soldiers who were with him arrived, someone told him that Abner had come there and talked with the king, and that the king allowed to go home safely.
Oo markii Yoo'aab iyo ciidankii la jiray oo dhammu ay yimaadeen waxaa Yoo'aab loo sheegay, oo lagu yidhi, Waxaa boqorka u yimid Abneer ina Neer, oo isna wuu iska diray, markaasuu nabad ku tegey.
24 So Joab went to the king and said, “Why have you done that? Listen to me! Abner [is your enemy, but] when he came to you, you allowed him [RHQ] to leave!
Markaasaa Yoo'aab boqorkii u yimid, oo ku yidhi, Maxaad samaysay? Bal eeg, Abneer baa kuu yimid, maxaad u dirtay oo uu u tegey?
25 Do you not know that he came to you to deceive you and to find out everything that you are doing, and all the places that you go to?”
Abneer oo ah ina Neer waad garanaysaa inuu kuugu yimid inuu ku khiyaaneeyo, iyo inuu ogaado bixiddaada iyo soo geliddaada, iyo weliba inuu sii ogaado waxaad samaysid oo dhanba.
26 After Joab left David, he sent some messengers to get Abner. They found him at Sirah Well, and brought him back to Hebron, but David did not know that they had done that.
Yoo'aabna markuu Daa'uud ka soo baxay ayuu rag ka daba diray Abneer, oo waxay ka soo celiyeen ceelkii Siraah, laakiinse taas Daa'uud ma ogayn.
27 So when Abner returned to Hebron, Joab met him at the city gate, and took him aside as though he wanted to speak with him privately. Then he stabbed Abner in the stomach [with his knife/sword]. In that way he murdered Abner because Abner had killed [MTY] Joab’s brother Asahel.
Oo markuu Abneer ku soo noqday Xebroon ayaa Yoo'aab gees ula baxay oo iridda la dhex galay si uu ula faqo, markaasuu caloosha ka dooxay si uu u dhinto, maxaa yeelay, dhiiggii walaalkiis Casaaheel ayuu daadshay.
28 Later, after David heard what had happened, he said, “Yahweh knows that I and the people of my kingdom are not at all (responsible for/guilty of) murdering [MTY] Abner.
Dabadeedna markuu Daa'uud taas maqlay ayuu yidhi, Aniga iyo boqortooyadayda midna eed kuma lahayn Rabbiga hortiisa xagga dhiigga Abneer ina Neer.
29 I hope/desire that Joab and all his family will be punished [MTY] for doing that! I hope/desire that there will always be someone in his family who has sores, or someone who is a leper, or some man who is forced to do women’s work, or someone who is killed in a battle, or someone who does not have enough food to eat!”
Yoo'aab madaxiisa ha saarnaado, iyo reerka aabbihiis, oo reer Yoo'aabna yaan laga waayin mid cudur dheecaan leh qaba, iyo mid baras qaba, iyo mid ul ku tukubaya, iyo mid seef lagu dilo, ama mid cunto la'.
30 That is how Joab and his brother Abishai murdered Abner, because he had killed their brother Asahel in the battle at Gibeon.
Sidaasay Yoo'aab iyo walaalkiis Abiishay u dileen Abneer, maxaa yeelay, wuxuu walaalkood Casaaheel ku dilay dagaalkii Gibecoon.
31 Then David said to Joab and to all Joab’s soldiers, “Tear your clothes and put on coarse cloth [to show that you are sad], and mourn for Abner!” And [at the funeral], King David walked behind [the men who were carrying] the coffin.
Markaasaa Daa'uud wuxuu ku yidhi Yoo'aab iyo dadkii isaga la jiray oo dhan, Dharkiinna jeexjeexa oo dhar joonyad ah guntada, oo Abneer hortiisa ku baroorta. Oo Boqor Daa'uudna wuxuu raacay naxashkii.
32 They buried Abner’s body at Hebron. And at the grave, the king cried loudly, and all the other people also cried.
Oo Abneer waxaa lagu aasay Xebroon, boqorkiina codkiisii kor buu u qaaday, oo qabrigii Abneer ku dul ooyay; oo dadkii oo dhammuna way wada ooyeen.
33 David sang this sad song to lament for Abner: “It is not right that [RHQ] Abner died like outlaws die!
Oo boqorkiina wuxuu u baroortay Abneer, oo yidhi, Miyey habboon tahay in Abneer u dhinto sida nacas u dhinto oo kale?
34 No one tied his hands or put chains on his feet, [like they do to criminals]. No, he was murdered by wicked men!”
Gacmahaagu ma xidhnayn, cagahaaguna ma dabranayn, Sida nin ugu dhaco dad dembi leh hortooda ayaad u dhacday. Markaasaa dadkii oo dhammu mar kale u ooyay isagii.
35 Then many [HYP] people came to David to tell him to eat some food before sunset, but David refused. He said, “I hope/desire that God will punish me severely [HYP] if I eat any food before the sun goes down!”
Markaasay dadkii oo dhammu yimaadeen oo damceen inay Daa'uud wax cunsiiyaan intii ay maalinnimada ahayd; laakiinse Daa'uud wuu dhaartay, oo yidhi, Ilaah taasoo kale ha igu sameeyo, iyo weliba tu ka sii badan, haddaan kibis dhadhansho, iyo wax kale toona, ilaa ay qorraxdu dhacdo.
36 All the people saw what David did, and they were pleased. Truly, everything that the king did pleased the people.
Markaasaa dadkii oo dhammu taas u fiirsadeen, wayna la wanaagsanayd, oo wax alla wixii boqorku sameeyey ayaa la wanaagsanaa dadkii oo dhan.
37 So all the people realized that the king had not wanted Abner to be killed.
Sidaasay dadkii oo dhan iyo reer binu Israa'iil oo dhammu maalintaas u garteen inuusan boqorku doonaynin in Abneer oo ahaa ina Neer la dilo.
38 The king said to his officials, “(Do you not realize that a leader and a great man has died today in Israel?/You should realize that a leader and a great man has died today in Israel.) [RHQ]
Oo boqorkii wuxuu addoommadiisii ku yidhi, War miyeydnaan ogayn maanta inuu reer binu Israa'iil ku dhex dhintay amiir iyo nin weyn?
39 Even though Yahweh appointed me to be the king, today I feel weak. These two sons of Zeruiah, [Joab and Abishai], are very violent; I cannot control them. So I hope/desire that Yahweh will punish them severely in return for this wicked thing that they have done!”
Oo anigu maanta in kastoo lay boqray, waan taag yarahay; oo nimankan ay Seruuyaah dhashay ayaa iga xoog badan. Kii shar sameeya Rabbigu ha ugu abaalgudo sida sharkiisu yahay.
