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.
About a month later, King Nahash of Ammon [led his army across the Jordan River, and they] surrounded Jabesh [city] in [the] Gilead [region]. But all the men of Jabesh [went and] said to Nahash, “Make an agreement/treaty with us [not to kill us], and then we will let you rule us.”
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.
Nahash replied, “I will do that if you do one thing. Allow us to gouge out all the right eyes of your people. By doing that we will cause the people [in other countries] to despise all you Israeli people.”
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.
The leaders of Jabesh replied, “Do not attack us for the next seven days. During that time, we will send messengers throughout Israel [to tell them what you are demanding]. If no one will help us, then we will (surrender to you/allow you to do to us whatever you want).”
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.
[Being very confident that his army was very superior, Nahash agreed. So the leaders of Jabesh sent messengers throughout Israel]. When the messengers came to Gibeah, which was [the city] where Saul lived, and they told the people there about the situation, everyone started to cry.
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.
At that time, Saul was plowing in the field. When he returned home, he asked, “Why are all the people [crying]?” So they told him what the messengers from Jabesh had reported.
6 Oo Saa'uulna markuu maqlay hadalladaas ayaa Ruuxa Ilaah si xoog leh ugu soo degay, oo xanaaqiisiina aad iyo aad buu u kululaaday.
Then God’s Spirit came powerfully upon Saul, and he became very angry [because of what Nahash wanted to do].
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 two of his oxen [and killed them] and cut them into pieces. Then he sent messengers [carrying those pieces] throughout Israel to tell people this message: “Saul says that [he cut this ox in pieces, and that he] will do the same thing to the oxen of anyone who refuses to come with him and Samuel to fight [the army from Ammon]!” Then Yahweh caused all the people of Israel to be afraid of what Saul might do to them (OR, of what Yahweh might do to them) [if they did not go and help Saul]. So the men all gathered together.
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 gave them all weapons at Bezek, he saw that there were 300,000 Israeli men there, as well as 30,000 men from the tribe of 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.
So Saul sent messengers back to the people at Jabesh to tell them, “We will rescue/save you by noontime tomorrow.” When the people of Jabesh heard that message, they were very joyful/happy.
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.
Then the men of Jabesh told [Nahash], “Tomorrow we will surrender to you, and then you can do to us whatever you want to.”
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.
But before the sun rose the next morning, Saul [and his army arrived. He] divided them into three groups. They rushed into the camp of the soldiers from Ammon, and attacked them. By noontime they had killed most of them, and those who were not killed scattered. Each of them who ran away ran away alone.
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 [of Jabesh] said to Samuel, “Where are those men who said that they did not want Saul to be our king? Bring them here, and we will kill 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], we are not going to execute anyone today, because this is the day that Yahweh has saved us Israeli people. [It is a day to rejoice, not to kill anyone].”
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, “Let’s all go to Gilgal, and there we will again proclaim [that Saul is] our king.”
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.
So they went to Gilgal. There, knowing that Yahweh was watching, they proclaimed that Saul was their king. Then they offered sacrifices to enable them to maintain fellowship with Yahweh. And Saul and all the other Israeli people were very happy.
