Samuu'Eel Kowaad 14
1 Haddaba waxaa maalin dhacay inuu Yoonaataan ina Saa'uul ku yidhi ninkii dhallinyarada ahaa oo hubkiisa u siday, Bal ina keen aan ciidanka reer Falastiin oo xaggaas jooga u gudubnee. Laakiinse taas uma uu sheegin aabbihiis.
One day, Jonathan said to the young man who carried his weapons, “Come with me; we will go over to where the Philistia soldiers have put up their tents.” [So they went], but Jonathan did not tell his father [what they were going to do].
2 Oo Saa'uulna wuxuu joogay Gibecaah darafkeeda, oo wuxuu hoos fadhiyey geed rummaanka ah oo Migroon ku yaal; oo dadkii isaga la joogayna waxay ahaayeen in ku dhow lix boqol oo nin,
On that day, Saul and the 600 soldiers who were with him were sitting around a pomegranate tree at a place where the people threshed grain, near Gibeah.
3 iyo Axiiyaah oo ahaa ina Axiituub, oo Iikaboodna walaalkiis ahaa, ee ahaa reer Fiinexaas ina Ceelii oo ahaa wadaadkii Rabbiga oo Shiiloh joogay, isagoo eefod qaba. Oo dadkuna ma ogayn inuu Yoonaataan tegey.
Ahijah the priest was also there. He was wearing the sacred vest. Ahijah was the son of Ahitub, who was a brother of Ichabod. Ichabod and Ahitub were the sons of Phinehas, who was the son of Eli, who had been Yahweh’s priest at Shiloh. No one knew that Jonathan had left [the Israeli camp].
4 Oo Yoonaataan marinkii uu doonayay inuu uga gudbo ciidanka reer Falastiin waxaa dhinac kaga yiil buur dhagax ah, dinaca kalena waxaa kaga yiil buur dhagax ah, oo middood magaceedu wuxuu ahaa Boosees, oo tan kale magaceedana waxaa la odhan jiray Seneh.
Jonathan planned that he and the young man would go through a narrow (pass/place between two cliffs) to get to where the Philistia army was. The cliff on one side of the pass was named Bozez, and the other cliff was named Seneh.
5 Oo buur waxay ku tiil xagga woqooyi oo Mikmaash ka horraysa, oo tan kalena waxay ku tiil xagga koonfureed oo Gebacda horraysa.
One cliff faced north toward Micmash, and the cliff on the other side faced south toward Geba [town].
6 Markaasaa Yoonaataan wuxuu ku yidhi ninkii dhallinyarada ahaa oo hubkiisa u siday, Kaalay, oo ina keen aan xagga ciidanka buuryoqabka ah u gudubnee, waayo, waxaa suurtowda in Rabbigu inoo shaqeeyo, maxaa yeelay, Rabbiga waxba kama hor joogsan karaan inuu ku badbaadiyo kuwo badan ama kuwo yarba.
Jonathan said to the young man who carried his weapons, “Come with me. We will go to where those (pagans/people who do not believe in Yahweh) [MTY] have set up their tents. Perhaps Yahweh will help us. It does not matter whether we are only two men or many people; nothing can hinder Yahweh from enabling us to defeat them.”
7 Oo kii hubka u sidayna wuxuu ku yidhi, Wax alla waxa qalbigaaga ku jira yeel, oo bal eeg, waan kula socdaa, oo sida qalbigaagu yahay weeye kayguna.
The young man who was carrying Jonathan’s weapons said, “Do what you think is the best thing for us to do. I will help you.”
8 Markaasaa Yoonaataan wuxuu yidhi, Bal eeg, nimanka xaggooda ayaynu u gudbaynaa, oo isu muujinaynaa iyaga.
Then Jonathan said, “Okay, come with me. We will cross the valley to where the Philistia army is, and allow them to see us.
9 Oo haddii ay inagu yidhaahdaan, Jooga halkiinna ilaa aannu idiin nimaadno, markaas waxaynu iska joogaynaa meesheenna, oo una tegi mayno.
If they then say to us, ‘You two stay there until we come down to you,’ we will stay there and not go up to them.
10 Laakiinse haddii ay inagu yidhaahdaan, Kaalaya oo soo fuula, markaasaynu fuulaynaa, waayo, Rabbigu iyaga gacanteennuu soo geliyey, oo taasaa calaamadii inoo ahaan doonta.
But if they say to us, ‘Come up here [and fight against] us,’ that will show us that Yahweh will enable us to defeat them. Then we will go up and fight them.”
11 Oo labadoodiiba waxay isu muujiyeen ciidankii reer Falastiin; markaasay kuwii reer Falastiin waxay yidhaahdeen, Bal eega Cibraaniyadii waxay ka soo baxayaan godadkii ay ku dhuunteene.
When the two of them crossed the valley, the Philistia soldiers saw them coming. They said, “Look! The Hebrews are crawling out of the holes in which they have been hiding!”
12 Oo raggii ciidanku waxay Yoonaataan iyo kii hubkiisa u siday ugu jawaabeen oo ku yidhaahdeen, Soo fuula, wax baannu idin tusaynaaye. Markaasaa Yoonaataan wuxuu ku yidhi kii hubkiisa u siday, Iga soo daba fuul, waayo, Rabbigu wuxuu iyaga soo geliyey gacanta reer binu Israa'iil.
Then the Philistia soldiers who were closest to Jonathan and the young man who carried his weapons said, “Come up here, and we will teach you something [about how to fight] [IDM]!” Jonathan said to the young man who was with him, “Come behind me and climb up, because Yahweh is going to help us to defeat them!”
13 Markaasaa Yoonaataan buurtii fantay, kii hubkiisa u sidayna wuu daba socday, oo kuwii reer Falastiinna way ku hor dhaceen Yoonaataan, kii hubkiisa u sidayna wuu ka daba laayay.
So Jonathan climbed up, using his hands and his feet [because it was very steep]. The young man climbed up following him. As Jonathan climbed, he struck and killed many Philistia soldiers, and the young man who was with him killed many more as he followed behind Jonathan.
14 Yoonaataan iyo kii hubkiisa u siday intii ugu horraysay oo ay laayeen waxay ahayd in ku dhow labaatan nin oo ay ku laayeen goob nus tacab ah.
In that first battle the two of them killed about 20 Philistia soldiers in an area that was about half an acre.
15 Oo cabsi weyn bay la qadhqadheen kuwii xerada ku jiray, iyo kuwii duurka joogay iyo dadkii oo dhanba; oo xataa ciidankii, iyo waxdhacayaashuna way wada gariireen, oo dhulkuna waa gariiray, haddana waxaa jiray gariir aad iyo aad u weyn.
Then all the other Philistia soldiers, the ones in the camp and the ones who had been attacking the Israeli towns, ones who were out in the field much closer, panicked. Then God caused the ground to shake, and they all became terrified/very afraid.
16 Markaasaa Saa'uul waardiyayaashiisii Gibecaahdii reer Benyaamiin joogay wax fiiriyeen, oo waxay arkeen dadkii badnaa oo kala firdhay oo xaggan iyo xaggaa u kala yaacay.
Saul’s (lookouts/men who were watching to see if enemies were coming) were in Gibeah [town] in the land of the tribe of Benjamin. They saw that the soldiers of the Philistia army were running away in all directions.
17 Kolkaasaa Saa'uul wuxuu dadkii isaga la jiray ku yidhi, Bal tiriya, oo eega kii inaga tegey kuu yahay. Oo markay tiriyeen waxay arkeen inayan Yoonaataan iyo kii hubkiisa u siday halkaas joogin.
Saul [realized that some of his soldiers must have attacked the Philistia army. So he] said to the soldiers who were with him, “Check to see if any of our men are not here.” So they checked, and they found out that Jonathan and the man who carried his weapons were gone.
18 Markaasaa Saa'uul wuxuu Axiiyaah ku yidhi, Sanduuqii Ilaah halkan keen. Waayo, waagaas sanduuqa Ilaah wuxuu la jiray reer binu Israa'iil.
So Saul said to Ahijah [the Supreme Priest], “Bring the sacred vest here [and find out what we should do].” On that day Ahijah was wearing the sacred vest, going in front of the Israelis.
19 Oo markuu Saa'uul la hadlayay wadaadkii, rabshaddii ku jirtay xerada reer Falastiin ayaa sii adkaatay oo sii badatay; kolkaasaa Saa'uul wuxuu wadaadkii ku yidhi, Gacanta laab.
But while Saul was talking to the priest, [he saw that] the Philistia soldiers were becoming more panicked/confused. So Saul said to Ahijah, “Take your hand down [from the sacred vest. Do not waste any more time using the marked stones in the vest to find out what Yahweh wants us to do.”]
20 Markaasaa Saa'uul iyo dadkii la jiray oo dhammuba isa soo wada urursadeen, oo waxay yimaadeen goobtii dagaalka. Oo bal eeg, nin walba seeftiisii waxay ku dhacday saaxiibkiis, oo waxaa jiray baabba' aad u weyn.
Then Saul gathered his men and they went toward the battle. They found that the Philistia soldiers were so confused that they were striking each other with their swords.
21 Oo Cibraaniyadii markii hore la jiray reer Falastiin, oo intay raaceen xerada la galay, iyagoo dalka ku wareegsan ka yimid, xataa iyana way soo jeesteen, oo waxay ku darmadeen reer binu Israa'iilkii la jiray Saa'uul iyo Yoonaataan.
Before that, some of the Hebrew men had deserted their army and gone to join with the Philistia army. But now those men [revolted and] joined with Saul and Jonathan and the other Israeli soldiers.
22 Oo sidaas oo kalena kulli raggii reer binu Israa'iil oo mar hore ku dhuuntay dalka buuraha leh oo reer Efrayim, iyana markii ay maqleen in reer Falastiin carareen ayay soo raacdaysteen oo dagaalkii soo galeen.
Some of the Israeli soldiers had previously run away and hidden in the mountains where the tribe of Ephraim lived. But when they heard that the Philistia soldiers were running away, they [came down and] joined the other Israeli soldiers and pursued the Philistia soldiers.
23 Sidaasuu Rabbigu maalintaas u badbaadiyey reer binu Israa'iil; oo dagaalkiina wuxuu u sii gudbay xagga Beytaawen.
So Yahweh rescued the Israelis on that day. The Israeli soldiers continued to pursue their enemies beyond Beth-Aven [town].
24 Oo maalintaas dadka reer binu Israa'iil way dhibaataysnaayeen; laakiinse Saa'uul baa dadkii dhaariyey oo ku yidhi, Ilaa ay fiidkii noqoto, oo aan cadaawayaashayda ka aarsado ninkii wax cuna inkaaru ha ku dhacdo. Haddaba dadkii cunto ma dhadhamin innaba.
Before Saul’s soldiers went to the battle, Saul declared to them solemnly, “I do not want any of you to eat any food before this evening, before we have defeated all our enemies. If anyone eats anything, [Yahweh] will curse/punish him.” So none of the Israeli soldiers ate any food, and they became faint/weak because they were very hungry.
25 Oo dadkii oo dhammu waxay soo galeen duurkii, dhulkana waxaa yiil malab.
The Israeli army went into the forest, and they found honeycombs on the ground, but they did not eat any honey.
26 Oo markii dadkii soo galay duurkii ayaa malabkii soo dareeray, laakiinse ninna gacanta afka ma saarin, waayo, dadku waxay ka cabsadeen dhaartii.
They were afraid to eat any, because they had solemnly promised that they would not eat any food.
27 Laakiinse Yoonaataan ma uu maqlin markii aabbihiis dadka dhaarta ku amray, sidaas aawadeed wuxuu soo fidiyey ushii gacanta ugu jirtay caaraddeedii, oo wuxuu daray malabkii, markaasuu gacantii afka saaray; oo indhihiisiina aad bay u iftiimeen.
But Jonathan did not hear what his father commanded [because he had left the camp very early in the morning]. So [when he saw] a honeycomb, he dipped the end of his walking stick into it and ate some honey. After he ate the honey, he felt stronger.
28 Markaasaa dadkii mid ka mid ahu u jawaabay, oo ku yidhi, Aabbahaa dadka dhaar buu aad ugu amray oo yidhi, Maanta ninkii wax cuna inkaaru ha ku dhacdo. Oo dadkiina way itaal darnaayeen.
But one of the Israeli soldiers saw him and said to him, “Your father solemnly declared to us that [Yahweh] would curse/punish anyone who ate any food today. So now we are [very tired and] weak from being hungry [because we obeyed him].”
29 Markaasaa Yoonaataan wuxuu yidhi, Aabbahay isagaa dalka dhibay, waan idin baryayaaye, bal eega sida indhahaygu u iftiimeen, maxaa yeelay, in yar baan ka dhadhamiyey malabkan.
Jonathan exclaimed, “My father has caused trouble for all of us! See how refreshed/strong I am after eating a little honey!
30 Haddaba intee bay ka sii fiicnaan lahayd haddii dadku maanta ikhtiyaar wax uga cuni lahaayeen wixii ay cadaawayaashooda ka dhaceen ee ay heleen? Waayo, hadday sidaas ahaan lahayd reer Falastiin dhexdooda layn tan ka weyn baa ku dhici lahayd.
If he had permitted all of us to eat from the food we took from our enemies while we were pursuing them, we would have been able to kill many more of their soldiers!”
31 Oo maalintaas waxay reer Falastiin ku laayeen ilaa Mikmaash iyo tan iyo Ayaaloon; oo dadkuna aad bay u itaal darnaayeen.
The Israelis pursued and killed Philistia soldiers all that day, from Micmash [town west] to Aijalon. But they continued to become weaker from being hungry.
32 Oo dadkiina wixii ay dhaceen ayay ku boodeen, oo waxay qaateen ido iyo dibi iyo weylo, oo dhulkay ku qasheen, markaasaa dadkii waxay cuneen hilibkii oo dhiig leh.
They had taken [many] sheep and cattle that the Philistia soldiers had abandoned. Now, because they were extremely hungry, they butchered some of those animals and ate the meat without draining the blood from the animals.
33 Dabadeedna waxaa loo sheegay Saa'uul, oo lagu yidhi, Bal eeg, dadku Rabbigay ku dembaabaan, markay cunaan hilib dhiig leh. Markaasuu wuxuu ku yidhi, Aad baad u xadgudubteen, haddaba maanta ii soo giringiriya dhagax weyn.
One of the soldiers told Saul, “Look! The men are sinning against Yahweh by eating meat that still has blood in it!” Saul replied [to the men who were near him], “They have disobeyed Yahweh! Roll a large stone over here!”
34 Markaasaa Saa'uul wuxuu yidhi, Dadka dhex gala, oo waxaad ku tidhaahdaan, Nin waluba halkan ha iigu keeno dibigiisa, nin walubana laxdiisa, oo halkan ku gowraca oo cuna; oo Rabbiga ha ku dembaabina intaad hilib dhiig leh cuntaan. Habeenkaas dadkii oo dhammu nin waluba wuxuu keenay dibigiisii, kolkaasay halkaas ku gowraceen.
After they did that, he said to those men, “Go and tell all the soldiers that each of them must bring an ox or a sheep to me, and kill it here on this stone, [and drain the blood] before he eats any of the meat. They should not sin against Yahweh by eating meat [from some animal] without draining its blood.” So that night all the soldiers brought animals and slaughtered them there. Then Saul built an altar to [worship] Yahweh.
35 Markaasaa Saa'uul wuxuu Rabbiga u dhisay meel allabari, oo taasuna waxay ahayd meeshii allabariga ee ugu horraysay uu Rabbiga u dhiso.
That was the first [time that he built an] altar for Yahweh.
36 Saa'uulna wuxuu yidhi, Ina keena aynu reer Falastiin raacdaysannee oo habeennimo mirnee, oo tan iyo aroortii dhacnee, oo ninkoodna yeynan ka sii dayn. Oo iyana waxay ku yidhaahdeen, Wax alla wixii kula wanaagsan samee. Markaasaa wadaadkii wuxuu yidhi, Ina keena aynu Rabbiga u dhowaannee.
Then Saul said [to the Israeli soldiers], “Let’s pursue the Philistia soldiers tonight. We can attack them all night. We will not allow any of them to escape alive.” The Israeli soldiers answered, “We will do whatever you think is the best thing for us to do.” But the priest said, “We should ask Yahweh [what he thinks we should do].”
37 Markaasaa Saa'uul Ilaah talo weyddiistay, oo wuxuu yidhi, Miyaan reer Falastiin raacdaystaa? Oo ma doonaysaa inaad iyaga soo geliso gacanta reer binu Israa'iil? Laakiinse maalintaas Ilaah uma uu jawaabin.
So Saul asked God, “Should we pursue the Philistine soldiers? Will you enable us to defeat them?” But God did not answer Saul that day.
38 Kolkaasaa Saa'uul wuxuu yidhi, Madaxda reer binu Israa'iil oo dhammay, soo dhowaada, oo maanta dembiganu wuxuu ku jiray bal soo ogaada oo soo eega.
Then Saul summoned all the leaders of his army. He said to them, “[I am sure that God has not answered me because] someone has sinned. We must find out what sin someone has committed.
39 Waayo, Rabbiga reer binu Israa'iil badbaadiya noloshiisaan ku dhaartaye, xataa hadduu ku jiray wiilkayga Yoonaataan, hubaal kaasu wuu dhiman doonaa. Laakiinse dadkii oo dhan laguma arag nin u jawaabay.
Yahweh has rescued us [from the Philistia army]. Just as certain as Yahweh lives, whoever has sinned must be executed. Even if it is my son Jonathan who has sinned, he must be executed.” [His men knew who was guilty], but none of them said anything [to Saul].
40 Markaasuu reer binu Israa'iil oo dhan ku yidhi, Idinku dhan joogsada, aniga iyo wiilkayga Yoonaataanna dhanka kale ayaannu joogsanaynaa. Dadkiina waxay Saa'uul ku yidhaahdeen, Wixii kula wanaagsan samee.
Then Saul said to all the Israeli soldiers, “You stand on one side. My son Jonathan and I will stand on the other side.” His men replied, “Do whatever you think is best.”
41 Sidaas daraaddeed Saa'uul wuxuu ku yidhi Rabbiga ah Ilaaha reer binu Israa'iil, Saamiga runta ah na tus. Oo wuxuu saamigii ku dhacay Yoonaataan iyo Saa'uul, laakiinse dadkii way baxeen.
Then Saul prayed to Yahweh, the Israelis’ God, “Tell me who is guilty and who is not guilty.” Then the priest (cast lots/threw the stones that were marked), and they indicated that it was [either] Jonathan or Saul who was the guilty one, and that the other men were not guilty.
42 Markaasaa Saa'uul wuxuu yidhi, Noo saami rida aniga iyo wiilkayga Yoonaataan. Dabadeedna saamigii wuxuu ku dhacay Yoonaataan.
Then Saul said to the priest, “Throw the stones again to indicate which of us two is guilty.” So he did, and the stones indicated that Jonathan was the guilty one.
43 Kolkaasaa Saa'uul wuxuu Yoonaataan ku yidhi, Bal ii sheeg waxaad samaysay. Oo Yoonaataan wuu u sheegay oo ku yidhi, Xaqiiqa in yar oo malab ah ayaan ku dhadhamiyey ushii gacanta iigu jirtay caaraddeedii; haddaba waa inaan dhintaa.
Then Saul said to Jonathan, “Tell me what you have done [that was wrong].” Jonathan replied, “I ate a little bit of honey. It was only a little bit that was on the end of my stick. Do I [deserve to be] executed [because of doing that]?”
44 Markaasaa Saa'uul wuxuu ku yidhi, Ilaah saas iyo si ka sii daran ha sameeyo, waayo, Yoonaataan, hubaal waa inaad dhimataa.
Saul replied, “Yes, you must be executed! I hope/wish that God will strike me and kill me if you are not executed for having done that!”
45 Oo dadkii waxay Saa'uul ku yidhaahdeen, Yoonaataan oo badbaadadan weyn ku dhex sameeyey reer binu Israa'iil, ma inuu dhintaa? Yaanay noqon; Rabbiga noloshiisaan ku dhaarannay ee waa inaan tin keliya oo madaxiisu dhulka ku dhicin; waayo, isagu wuxuu maanta la shaqeeyey Ilaah. Sidaasay dadkii u samatabbixiyeen Yoonaataan inuusan dhiman.
But the Israeli soldiers said to Saul, “Jonathan has won a great victory for all us Israelis. Should he be executed for eating some honey [RHQ]? Certainly not! Just as surely as Yahweh lives, we will not allow you to injure him in any manner [IDM], [because] today God helped Jonathan [to kill many soldiers of the Philistia army]!” So [by saying that] the Israeli soldiers rescued Jonathan, and he was not executed.
46 Markaasaa Saa'uul wuxuu ka hadhay reer Falastiin raacdaysigoodii; oo reer Falastiinna meeshoodii bay tageen.
Then Saul ordered his soldiers to stop pursuing the Philistia army, so the Philistia soldiers returned to their homes.
47 Oo markii Saa'uul qabsaday boqortooyada reer binu Israa'iil wuxuu la diriray kulli cadaawayaashiisii dhan kasta ka jiray, kuwaasoo ahaa reer Moo'aab, iyo reer Cammoon, iyo reer Edom, iyo boqorradii reer Soobaah, iyo reer Falastiin; oo meel kasta oo uu u jeestayba si xun buu ugu galay.
After Saul became the ruler/king of the Israeli people, his army fought against their enemies in many areas. They fought against armies of the Moab people-group, the Ammon people-group, the Edom people-group, the kings of Zobah [city/area], and the Philistia people-group. Wherever the Israeli army fought, they defeated their enemies.
48 Oo isagu si xoog leh ayuu wax ku sameeyey, oo wuxuu laayay reer Siiqlag oo reer binu Israa'iilna wuxuu ka samatabbixiyey gacantii kuwii dhici jiray.
Saul’s army fought bravely and defeated the [very tall] descendants of Amalek. His army rescued the Israelis from those who had (plundered/forcefully taken things from) them.
49 Haddaba Saa'uul wiilashiisii waxay ahaayeen Yoonaataan iyo Yishwii, iyo Melkiishuuca; oo labadiisii gabdhoodna magacyadoodii waxay ahaayeen Meerab iyo Miikaal; tii curadda ahayd magaceedu wuxuu ahaa Meerab, tii yaraydna magaceeda waxaa la odhan jiray Miikaal.
Saul’s sons were Jonathan, Ishbosheth, and Malchishua. He also had two daughters, Merab and her younger sister Michal.
50 Oo naagtii Saa'uul magaceeduna wuxuu ahaa Axiino'am, oo waxay ahayd ina Axiimacas; oo sirkaalkii ciidankiisana magiciisu wuxuu ahaa Abneer, wuxuuna ahaa ina Neer, kaasoo ahaa Saa'uul adeerkiis.
Saul’s wife was Ahinoam, the daughter of Ahimaaz. The commander of Saul’s army was Abner, who was the son of Saul’s uncle Ner.
51 Oo Qiishna wuxuu ahaa Saa'uul aabbihiis; oo Neer oo ahaa Abneer aabbihiis isna wuxuu ahaa ina Abii'eel.
Saul’s father Kish and Abner’s father Ner were both sons of Abiel.
52 Oo intii Saa'uul noolaa oo dhan dagaal kulul oo reer Falastiin ka gees ah ayaa jiray. Oo Saa'uulna markuu arko nin xoog leh, amase nin daran wuu qaadan jiray.
All the time that Saul was alive, his army fought against the Philistia army. And whenever Saul saw a young man who was (brave/not afraid to fight) and strong, he forced him to join his army.
