Samuu'Eel Kowaad 11
1 Markaasaa waxaa soo kacay Naaxaash oo ahaa reer Cammoon, oo wuxuu soo ag degay Yaabeesh Gilecaad. Oo dadkii Yaabeesh oo dhammu waxay Naaxaash ku yidhaahdeen, Axdi nala dhigo oo annana waannu kuu adeegaynaa.
Nahash the Ammonite came with his army and besieged Jabesh-gilead. All the people of Jabesh said to him, “Make a peace treaty with us, and we will be your subjects.”
2 Markaasaa Naaxaash oo ahaa reer Cammoon wuxuu iyagii ku yidhi, Sabab keliya ayaan axdi idinkula samaysanayaa, taasuna waa anigoo isha midigta idinka wada bixiya si aan u ceebeeyo reer binu Israa'iil oo dhan.
But Nahash the Ammonite responded, “I'll make a peace treaty with you on one condition: that I gouge out everyone's right eye to bring shame on all Israelites.”
3 Markaasaa duqowdii reer Yaabeesh waxay isagii ku yidhaahdeen, Bal toddoba maalmood na sug, aannu xuduudka reer binu Israa'iil oo dhan wargeeyayaal u dirnee, oo dabadeedna haddii aannu wayno mid na badbaadiya, waannu kuu imanaynaa.
“Let us have seven days so we can send messengers all over Israel,” replied the town elders of Jabesh. “If no one comes to help us, we will surrender to you.”
4 Markaasaa wargeeyayaashii waxay yimaadeen Gibecaahdii Saa'uul, oo erayadan ayay dadkii u sheegeen. Kolkaasaa dadkii oo dhammu codkoodii kor u qaadeen oo wada ooyeen.
When the messengers arrived in Gibeah of Saul and gave the message as the people listened, they all wept out loud.
5 Oo bal eeg, waxaa yimid Saa'uul oo dibiyadii duurka ka keenay, oo Saa'uulna wuxuu yidhi, Maxaa ku dhacay dadka oo ay la ooyayaan? Markaasay u sheegeen hadalladii nimankii reer Yaabeesh.
Right then Saul was coming back from ploughing a field with his oxen. “Why is everyone so upset?” he asked. They told him what the men from Jabesh had said.
6 Oo Saa'uulna markuu maqlay hadalladaas ayaa Ruuxa Ilaah si xoog leh ugu soo degay, oo xanaaqiisiina aad iyo aad buu u kululaaday.
The Spirit of God came on Saul in power when he heard about this, and he grew very angry.
7 Markaasuu wuxuu qaatay laba dibi oo intuu qalay ayuu cad cad u kala jaray, oo intuu wargeeyayaal gacantood u dhiibay ayuu wada gaadhsiiyey xuduudka reer binu Israa'iil oo dhan, oo wuxuu yidhi, Ku alla kii aan Saa'uul iyo Samuu'eel soo raacin, sidaas oo kalaa dibidiisa loo geli doonaa. Markaasaa waxaa dadkii ku soo dhacday cabsidii Rabbiga, oo waxay u soo baxeen sidii nin qudha.
He took a pair of oxen and cut them into pieces. Then he sent them by messenger to every part of Israel with the message, “This is what will happen to the oxen of anyone who does not follow Saul and Samuel.” The Lord made the people anxious to do so, and they came out as one.
8 Markaasuu iyagii ku tiriyey Beseq, oo reer binu Israa'iil waxay ahaayeen saddex boqol oo kun, oo raggii reer Yahuudahna waxay ahaayeen soddon kun.
When Saul counted them at Bezek, there were 300,000 men from Israel and 30,000 men from Judah.
9 Markaasay waxay ku yidhaahdeen wargeeyayaashii yimid, Dadkii reer Yaabeesh Gilecaad waxaad ku tidhaahdaan, Berrito markii qorraxdu kulushahay ayaad samatabbixin heli doontaan. Markaasaa wargeeyayaashii u yimaadeen oo u warrameen dadkii reer Yaabeesh Gilecaad, oo iyana way farxeen.
They said to the messengers who came, “Tell the men of Jabesh Gilead, ‘Tomorrow you'll be rescued, by the time the sun is hot.’” The people of Jabesh were so happy when the messengers arrived and told them this.
10 Sidaas daraaddeed dadkii reer Yaabeesh waxay yidhaahdeen, Berrito ayaannu idiin soo bixi doonnaa, oo waxaad nagu samayn doontaan kulli wax alla wixii idinla wanaagsan.
They told the Ammonites, “We will surrender to you tomorrow, and then you can do to us whatever you want.”
11 Oo maalintii dambe Saa'uul wuxuu dadkii ka dhigay saddex guuto; oo subaxdii hore ayay xeradii soo dhex galeen, oo waxay reer Cammoon laynayeen tan iyo hadhkii, oo waxay ahaatay in intii hadhayna kala firidhay, oo xataa laba iyagii ka mid ahu isma haysan.
The next day Saul organized the army into three divisions. They attacked the Ammonite camp before dawn and went on killing them until the day grew hot. The survivors were so scattered that not even two of them were left together.
12 Markaasaa dadkii waxay Samuu'eel ku yidhaahdeen, Waa ayo kii yidhi, Ma Saa'uul baa na xukumaya? Nimankaas soo bixi aannu dilnee.
Then the people asked Samuel, “Who was saying, ‘Why should we have Saul as our king?’ Hand these men over so we can execute them.”
13 Kolkaasaa Saa'uul wuxuu yidhi, Ninnaba maanta la dili maayo, waayo, maanta Rabbigu wuxuu samatabbixiyey reer binu Israa'iil.
But Saul replied, “No one's going to be executed today, for this is the day that the Lord saved Israel.”
14 Markaasaa Samuu'eel wuxuu dadkii ku yidhi, Ina keena aynu Gilgaal tagnee oo aynu halkaas boqortooyada ku cusboonaysiinnee.
Then Samuel said to the people, “Come with me—let's go to Gilgal and renew the kingdom.”
15 Markaasaa dadkii oo dhammu waxay tageen Gilgaal, oo Gilgaal ayay Saa'uul ku boqreen Rabbiga hortiisa, oo waxay halkaas Rabbiga hortiisa ku bixiyeen qurbaanno nabaadiino, oo halkaasaa Saa'uul iyo dadkii reer binu Israa'iil oo dhammu aad ugu farxeen.
Everyone went to Gilgal and confirmed Saul as king before the Lord. They sacrificed friendship offerings to the Lord, and Saul together with all the Israelites had a great celebration.
