Boqorradii Kowaad 21
1 Oo waxyaalahaas dabadood waxay noqotay in Naabood oo ahaa reer Yesreceel uu lahaa beer canab ah oo Yesreceel ku tiil ee uu dhowayd gurigii Axaab oo ahaa boqorkii Samaariya.
King Ahab had a palace in Jezreel [city]. Near the palace was a vineyard owned by a man from that city whose name was Naboth.
2 Oo Axaab baa Naabood la hadlay, oo ku yidhi, Beertaada canabka ah i sii aan beer khudrad ah ka dhigtee, maxaa yeelay, waxay u dhow dahay gurigayga, oo adigana waxaan ku siinayaa beer canab ah oo iyada ka sii wanaagsan, amase haddii ay kula wanaagsan tahay, waxaan ku siinayaa qiimeheeda oo lacag ah.
One day, Ahab [went to] Naboth and said to him, “Your vineyard is close to my palace. I would like to buy it, so that I can plant some vegetables there. In exchange, I will give you a better vineyard [somewhere else], or if you prefer, I will pay you for your vineyard.”
3 Markaasaa Naabood wuxuu Axaab ku yidhi, Ilaah ha iga hayo inaan dhaxalkii awowayaashay ku siiyo.
But Naboth replied, “That land belonged to my ancestors, [so I want to keep it]. I hope that Yahweh will never allow me to give that land to you!”
4 Markaasaa Axaab wuxuu yimid gurigiisii isagoo calool xun oo ka xanaaqsan eraygii Naabood kii reer Yesreceel isaga kula hadlay; maxaa yeelay, wuxuu isaga ku yidhi, Ku siin maayo dhaxalkii awowayaashay. Markaasuu sariirtiisii jiifsaday, wuuna sii jeestay, oo diiday inuu wax cuno.
So Ahab became very sullen and angry because of what Naboth had said. He went home and lay down on his bed. He turned his face toward the wall, and he refused to eat anything.
5 Laakiinse naagtiisii Yesebeel ayaa u timid oo waxay ku tidhi, War maxaa naftaadu u qulubsan tahay oo aad kibis la cuni weyday?
His wife Jezebel came in and asked him, “Why are you so depressed? Why are you refusing to eat anything?”
6 Markaasuu iyadii ku yidhi, Naa waxaan la hadlay Naabood kii reer Yesreceel, oo aan ku idhi, Beertaada canabka ah lacag iga siiso, ama haddii kale oo ay kula wanaagsan tahay waxaan kaa siisanayaa beer kale oo canab ah, oo isna wuxuu iigu jawaabay, Beertayda ku siin maayo.
Ahab replied, “I talked to Naboth, that man from Jezreel. I told him that [I wanted] his vineyard. [I said, ] ‘I will buy it from you, or I will give you another vineyard for it.’ But he refused [to let me have it].”
7 Markaasaa naagtiisii Yesebeel waxay ku tidhi, War miyaadan haatan u talin boqortooyada Israa'iil? Haddaba kac oo wax cun, oo qalbigaagana ka farxi; anigaa ku siinaya Naabood ka reer Yesreceel beertiisa canabka ah.
His wife replied, “You are [RHQ] the king of Israel, [so you can get whatever you want] Get up, and eat some food and do not worry [about what Naboth said]. I will get Naboth’s vineyard for you.”
8 Sidaas daraaddeed warqado ayay ku qortay Axaab magiciisii oo waxay ku shaabadaysay shaabaddiisii. Oo waxay warqadihii u dirtay odayaashii iyo kuwii gobta ahaa ee magaaladiisii Naabood la degganaa.
Then Jezebel wrote some letters, and she signed Ahab’s name on them. She used his official seal to seal them. Then she sent them to the older leaders and other important men who lived in Naboth’s town.
9 Oo waxay warqadaha ku qortay oo ku tidhi, War waxaad naadisaan oo tidhaahdaan, Ha la soomo; oo Naaboodna dadka ka sarraysiiya.
This is what she wrote in the letters: “Proclaim a day when all the people will [gather together and] (fast/abstain from eating food). Give to Naboth an important place to sit among them.
10 Oo hortiisana waxaad fadhiisisaan laba nin oo waxmatarayaal ah, oo iyana isaga ha ku marag fureen, oo ha ku yidhaahdeen, Adigu waxaad cayday Ilaah iyo boqorka. Markaas isaga dibadda u bixiya oo dhagaxyo la dhaca si uu u dhinto.
Then find two men who always cause trouble. Give them places to sit opposite/facing him. Tell these men to testify that they heard Naboth say things that criticized God and the king. Then take Naboth out of the city and kill him by throwing stones at him.”
11 Oo dadkii magaaladiisii la degganaa ee ahaa odayaashii iyo kuwii gobta ahaa waxay yeeleen sidii Yesebeel u soo fartay oo ahayd sidii ku qornayd warqadihii ay iyaga u dirtay.
The leaders [received the letters and] did what Jezebel had written in the letters for them to do.
12 Waxay naadiyeen oo yidhaahdeen, Ha la soomo, oo Naaboodna ayay dadka ka sarraysiiyeen.
They declared a day on which the people would all (fast/abstain from food). And they gave Naboth a seat in a place where honored people sat, in front of the people.
13 Oo waxaa yimid oo hortiisa fadhiistay laba nin oo waxmatarayaal ah, markaasaa waxmatarayaashii Naabood ku marag fureen dadka hortiisii, oo waxay yidhaahdeen, Naabood wuxuu caayay Ilaah iyo boqorkaba. Markaasay isagii magaaladii ka saareen, oo waxay la dhaceen dhagaxyo, wuuna dhintay.
Two men who always caused trouble sat opposite/facing Naboth. While everyone was listening, they stated that they had heard Naboth say things that criticized God and the king. So the people seized Naboth. They took him outside the city and killed him [by throwing] stones at him.
14 Markaasay Yesebeel farriin u direen oo waxay ku yidhaahdeen, Naabood waa la dhagxiyey, wuuna dhintay.
Then those leaders sent a message to Jezebel, saying “We have executed Naboth.”
15 Markii Yesebeel ay maqashay in Naabood la dhagxiyey oo uu dhintay, ayay Yesebeel Axaab ku tidhi, War kac oo iska qaado beertii canabka ahayd oo Naabood kii reer Yesreceel ee uu hore inuu lacag kaa siisto kuugu diiday; waayo, haatan Naabood ma noola, wuuse dhintay.
When Jezebel found out that Naboth had been killed, she told Ahab, “Naboth is dead. Now you can go and take possession of the vineyard that he refused to sell to you.”
16 Oo markii Axaab maqlay in Naabood dhintay ayaa Axaab wuxuu u kacay inuu u dhaadhaco oo iska qaato beertii Naabood kii reer Yesreceel.
When Ahab heard that Naboth was dead, he got up and went to the vineyard to claim that he now owned it.
17 Oo Eraygii Rabbiga ayaa u yimid Eliiyaah kii reer Tishbii, isagoo leh,
Then Yahweh spoke to Elijah the prophet. He said,
18 War sara joogso, oo u dhaadhac boqorka dalka Israa'iil oo Axaab ah oo Samaariya deggan; oo bal eeg, wuxuu ku dhex jiraa beertii canabka ahayd oo Naabood, halkaasoo uu ugu dhaadhacay inuu iska qaato.
“Go to Samaria and talk to Ahab, the king of Israel. He is in the vineyard of a man named Naboth. He has gone there to claim that he now owns it.
19 Waa inaad isaga la hadashaa, oo waxaad ku tidhaahdaa, Rabbigu wuxuu kugu leeyahay, War ma wax baad dishay, oo haddana ma wax baad qaadatay? Oo haddana isaga waxaad ku tidhaahdaa, Rabbigu wuxuu kugu leeyahay, Meeshii eeyuhu ka leefleefeen dhiiggii Naabood ayaa adiga dhiiggaagana eeyo ka leefleefi doonaan.
Tell Ahab that this is what I, Yahweh, say to him: ‘You have murdered Naboth and taken his land.’ So I am telling you this: ‘In the same place where [Naboth died and] dogs came and licked up Naboth’s blood, [you will die and] the dogs will lick up your blood, too!’”
20 Markaasaa Axaab wuxuu ku yidhi Eliiyaah, Cadowgaygiiyow, haddana ma i heshay? Oo isna wuxuu ugu jawaabay, Haah, waan ku helay, maxaa yeelay, waxaad isu iibisay inaad Rabbiga hortiisa wax shar ah ku samayso.
So when Elijah met with Ahab, Ahab said to him, “You, my enemy, have found me!” [RHQ] Elijah answered, “Yes, I have found you. You have never stopped doing the things that Yahweh says are wrong.
21 Oo bal ogow, Axaabow, belaayo baan kugu soo dejin doonaa, oo farcankaaga waan kaa qaadi doonaa, oo waxaan kaa baabbi'in doonaa wiil kasta, ha ahaado mid kasta oo dalka Israa'iil ku dhex xidhan ama mid kasta oo ku dhex furan.
So this is what Yahweh says to you: ‘I will soon get rid of you. I will kill you, and I will also kill every male in your household, including those who are slaves and those who are not slaves.
22 Oo reerkaagana waxaan ka dhigi doonaa sidii reerkii Yaaraabcaam ina Nebaad iyo sidii reerkii Bacshaa ina Axiiyaah, sababtuna waxa weeye xanaaqii aad iga xanaajisay oo aad dadkii Israa'iilna dembaajisay aawadiis.
Your family will all be killed, just like the family of King Jeroboam and like the family of King Baasha were killed. I will get rid of you because you have caused me to become very angry, and you have also led the Israeli people to sin.’
23 Oo Yesebeelna Rabbigu wuu ka hadlay oo yidhi, Yesebeel eeyuhu waa ku cuni doonaan derbiga Yesreceel agtiisa.
Yahweh has also told me that [your wife] Jezebel [will be killed, and] dogs in Jezreel will eat her corpse.
24 Oo Axaab dadkiisa kii magaalada kaga dhinta waxaa cuni doona eeyaha; oo kii duurka kaga dhintana waxaa cuni doona haadka samada.
The [dead bodies of the] members of your family who die in this city [will not be buried, they] will be eaten by dogs, and [the corpses of] those who die in the fields will be eaten by vultures.”
25 (Laakiinse lama arag qof Axaab la mid ah oo isu iibiyey inuu sameeyo wax Rabbiga hortiisa shar ku ah, kaasoo ay kicisay naagtiisii Yesebeel.
There was no man no man like Ahab who always did things that Yahweh considered to be evil. His wife Jezebel incited/urged him to do [many of] those things.
26 Oo wax aad karaahiyo u ah ayuu sameeyey markuu sanamyo raacay oo uu u wada sameeyey siday sameeyeen reer Amor kii Rabbigu ka tuuray dadka Israa'iil hortooda.)
The most abominable/detestable thing that Ahab did was to worship idols, just like the Amor people-group had done. And that is why Yahweh took the Amor people’s land from them and gave it to the Israelis.
27 Kolkii Axaab erayadaas maqlay ayuu dharkiisii jeexjeexay, oo joonyado guntaday, wuuna soomay, oo joonyado ku dhex seexday, oo aayar u socday.
After Elijah finished talking to Ahab, Ahab tore his clothes [to show that he was sorry for all the sins that he had committed]. He put on rough clothes that were made from sacks, and he refused to eat anything. He even wore those rough clothes made from sacks when he slept, to show that he was sorry.
28 Oo haddana eraygii Rabbigu wuxuu u yimid Eliiyaah kii reer Tishbii oo ku yidhi,
Then Yahweh said this to Elijah:
29 War sow uma jeeddid siduu Axaab hortayda isugu hoosaysiiyey? Sharka ku soo dejin maayo intuu isagu nool yahay, maxaa yeelay, isagu hortayduu isku hoosaysiiyey; laakiinse sharka waxaan reerkiisa ku soo dejin doonaa wakhtiga wiilkiisa.
“I have seen [RHQ] that Ahab is now very sorry for all the evil things that he has done. So the things that I promised to do to his [family] will not happen while he is still alive. I will cause them to happen after his son becomes king. Then those things will happen to his family.” [MTY]
