Samuu'Eel Kowaad 12
1 Samuu'eel wuxuu reer binu Israa'iil oo dhan ku yidhi, Bal eega, anigu waan maqlay codkiinnii iyo wixii aad igu tidhaahdeen oo dhan, oo waxaan idiin yeelay boqor idiin taliya.
Then Samuel said this to all the Israeli people: “I have done everything that you told me to do, and I have given/appointed a king to rule you.
2 Oo haatan, bal eega, boqorkii wuu idin hor socdaaye, oo anigu waan gaboobay, waanan cirroobay; oo bal eega, wiilashaydiina way idinla joogaan, oo aniguna waxaan idin hor socday tan iyo yaraantaydii.
My own sons [are grown up and] with you now, but I have appointed Saul [instead of one of them], and he is now your leader. I am now old, and my hair is gray. I have been your leader ever since I was a boy.
3 Bal waa i kan. Rabbiga hortiisa igu markhaati fura, iyo kan uu subkaday hortiisaba. Bal yaan dibigiisii ka qaatay? Amase bal yaan dameerkiisii ka qaatay? Amase yaan dulmay? Amase yaan cadaadiyey? Kumaanse gacantiisa laaluush ka qaatay si aan isu indhatiro daraaddeed? Hadday saas tahay waan idiin celin.
Now tell me, while Yahweh is listening, and while the king whom he has chosen is listening: whose ox or donkey have I stolen [during all those years]? Whom have I cheated? Whom have I oppressed/treated badly? From whom have I accepted a bribe, in order that I would ignore [the evil things he had done]? If I have done any of those things, tell me, and I will pay back what I owe.”
4 Oo iyana waxay yidhaahdeen, Nama aad dulmin, namana aad cadaadin, oo ninnaba gacantiisa waxba kama aad qaadan.
They replied, “[No, ] you have never cheated anyone or oppressed anyone or accepted a bribe from anyone.”
5 Markaasuu isna wuxuu ku yidhi iyaga, Maanta Rabbigaa idinku marag ah, iyo kan uu subkaday, inaydnaan waxba gacantayda ku helin. Oo iyana waxay yidhaahdeen, Haah, isagu waa ka marag.
Then Samuel said, “Today Yahweh can testify, and the king whom you chose can testify, that I have not taken a bribe from anyone.” They replied, “Yes, Yahweh can say that he knows that is true.”
6 Markaasaa Samuu'eel wuxuu dadkii ku yidhi, Muuse iyo Haaruun waxaa doortay Rabbiga, oo isagaa awowayaashiin ka soo saaray dalkii Masar.
Samuel continued by saying, “Yahweh is the one who appointed Moses and Aaron [to lead] our ancestors. He is the one who brought them out of Egypt. [And he is the one who will testify that what I am saying is true].
7 Haddaba bal joogsada inaan Rabbiga hortiisa idinkula hadlo wax ku saabsan falimihii Rabbiga oo xaqa ahaa oo dhan, oo uu idiin sameeyey idinka iyo awowayaashiinba.
Now while Yahweh is listening, stand here quietly while I accuse you [and tell you that your requesting a king instead of trusting Yahweh to lead you was wrong]. I will do that by reminding you of all the great miracles that Yahweh performed for you and your ancestors.
8 Markii Yacquub Masar yimid, oo awowayaashiin Rabbiga u qayshadeen, kolkaasaa Rabbigu soo diray Muuse iyo Haaruun, kuwaasoo awowayaashiin ka soo bixiyey Masar oo halkan soo dejiyey.
[“Many years] after Jacob went to Egypt, our ancestors pleaded to Yahweh to help them. So Yahweh sent Moses and Aaron to them, and they led our ancestors out of Egypt, and eventually they settled in this land.
9 Laakiinse way illoobeen Rabbigii Ilaahooda ahaa, markaasuu wuxuu ka iibsaday oo gacanta u geliyey Siiseraa, oo ahaa sirkaalkii ciidanka Xaasoor, oo wuxuu geliyey gacantii reer Falastiin, iyo gacantii boqorkii reer Moo'aab, wayna la dirireen iyaga.
“But our ancestors soon forgot about Yahweh, their God. So he allowed Sisera, the commander of the army from Hazor, to defeat them. He also allowed the Philistines and the army of the king of Moab to fight our ancestors and defeat them.
10 Markaasay Rabbiga u qayshadeen, oo yidhaahdeen, Waannu dembaabnay, maxaa yeelay, waannu kaa tagnay, Rabbiyow, oo u adeegnay Bacaliim iyo Cashtarod, laakiinse haatan naga samatabbixi gacanta cadaawayaashayada, oo waannu kuu adeegi doonnaa.
Then our ancestors pleaded with Yahweh again to help them. They admitted, ‘Yahweh, we have sinned, and we have forsaken you. We have worshiped [idols that represent the god] Baal and [the goddess] Astarte. But if you rescue us from our enemies, we will worship you only.’
11 Dabadeedna Rabbigu wuxuu soo diray Yerubbacal, iyo Bedaan, iyo Yeftaah, iyo Samuu'eel, oo idinka samatabbixiyey gacantii cadaawayaashiinnii dhan walba idinka jiray, oo ammaan baad ku degganaateen.
So Yahweh sent men such as Gideon, Barak, Jephthah, and me to save you. And as a result, you did not have to worry about any enemies attacking you.
12 Oo markii aad aragteen boqorkii Naaxaash ahaa oo reer Cammoon inuu idinku soo duulay, waxaad igu tidhaahdeen, Maya, laakiinse waa inuu boqor noo taliyaa; markaasna waxaa boqor idiin ahaa Rabbiga Ilaahiinna ah.
“But now, when king Nahash of Ammon came [with his army] to attack you, [you were afraid. So], you [came to me, and] said, ‘We want a king to rule us,’ even though Yahweh was already your king!
13 Haddaba bal eega boqorkii aad doorateen oo aad i weyddiisateen, oo hadda bal eega, Rabbigu wuxuu idiin yeelay boqor idiin taliya.
So now, look, here is the king whom you have chosen. You asked for a king, and Yahweh has now appointed a king for you.
14 Waa hagaag, haddii aad Rabbiga ka cabsataan oo aad u adeegtaan, oo aad codkiisa maqashaan, oo aydnaan ku caasiyoobin amarka Rabbiga, oo aad idinka iyo boqorka idiin taliyaaba ahaataan kuwo raacaya Rabbiga Ilaahiinna ah.
If you will revere Yahweh and if you serve him, and if you listen to what he says and obey what he commands, and if you and the king who rules over you do what Yahweh your God wants you to do, [(things will go well for you all/Yahweh will bless you)].
15 Laakiinse haddii aydnaan dhegaysan codka Rabbiga, illowse aad ku caasiyowdaan amarka Rabbiga, de markaas gacanta Rabbigu gees bay idinka ahaanaysaa, siday awowayaashiinba uga ahayd.
But if you do not listen to what Yahweh says, if you disobey what he commands, then he will punish [MTY] you all, just as he punished our ancestors.
16 Haddaba bal joogsada oo eega waxan weyn oo uu Rabbigu ku samayn doono hortiinna.
“Now stand here quietly and see the great thing that Yahweh is about to do.
17 Sow maanta ma aha maalintii sarreenka la gooynayay? Anigu Rabbigaan baryayaa inuu soo diro onkod iyo roob; oo idinna markaasaad ogaan doontaan oo arki doontaan inuu weyn yahay sharkiinna aad Rabbiga hortiisa ku samayseen markaad boqor weyddiisateen.
You know that [RHQ] [it does not rain at this time of the year], during the time when you harvest wheat. But I will ask Yahweh to send thunder [and lightning] and rain today. When he does that, you will realize that Yahweh considers that you have done a very wicked thing by requesting a king.”
18 Saas aawadeed Samuu'eel Rabbiguu baryay, oo Rabbiguna maalintaasuu onkod iyo roob soo diray, oo dadkii oo dhammuna aad iyo aad bay uga cabsadeen Rabbiga iyo Samuu'eelba.
Then Samuel prayed to Yahweh, and Yahweh caused it to thunder [and lightning] and rain. So all the people became very afraid of Yahweh and of Samuel.
19 Markaasaa dadkii oo dhammu waxay Samuu'eel ku yidhaahdeen, Addoommadaada u bari Rabbiga Ilaahaaga ah, yaannan dhimanne, waayo, dembiyadayadii oo dhan waxaan ku darsannay sharkan markaannu boqor weyddiisannay.
They cried out to Samuel, “Pray for us! We have added to our previous sins by requesting a king! Pray to Yahweh, your God, in order that we will not die [because of having done that]!”
20 Oo Samuu'eelna wuxuu dadkii ku yidhi, Ha cabsanina; xaqiiqa, waxaad samayseen sharkan oo dhan, laakiinse gees ha uga leexanina Rabbiga lasocodkiisa, waxaadse ugu adeegtaan qalbigiinna oo dhan;
Samuel replied, “Do not be afraid! You have done this evil thing, but do not turn away from doing the things that Yahweh wants you to do. Instead, serve Yahweh wholeheartedly.
21 oo gees ha uga leexanina, waayo, markaas waxaad raaci lahaydeen waxyaalo aan micne lahayn ee aan waxba tari karin, waxna badbaadin karin, waayo, iyagu micne ma leh.
Do not abandon [Yahweh] and worship useless idols. They cannot help you or save you [from your enemies], because they are truly useless.
22 Maxaa yeelay, Rabbigu ka tegi maayo dadkiisa, magiciisa weyn aawadiis; maxaa yeelay, Rabbiga way ka farxisay inuu dad idinka dhigto.
Yahweh decided to make us his people. So he will not abandon us people whom he has chosen, because he would injure his own reputation [of being completely faithful] if he did that.
23 Oo haddana aniga xaggayga, Ilaah ha iga fogeeyo inaan Rabbiga ku dembaabo, taasoo ah anoo joojinaya inaan idiin duceeyo; laakiinse waxaan idin barayaa jidka wanaagsan oo qumman.
But as for me, I have solemnly promised that I will not sin against Yahweh by ceasing to pray for you. And I will continue to teach you what things are good and right [for you to do].
24 Laakiinse idinku Rabbiga ka cabsada, oo si run ah qalbigiinna oo dhan ugu adeega; waayo, bal ka fiirsada waxyaalaha waaweyn oo uu idiin sameeyey.
But you must revere Yahweh and serve him wholeheartedly. Never forget all the great things that he has done for you.
25 Laakiinse haddaad shar sii samaysaan waa laydin baabbi'in doonaa idinka iyo boqorkiinnaba.
But if you keep doing wicked things, he will get rid of you and your king!”
