Samuu'Eel Kowaad 22
1 Sidaas daraaddeed Daa'uud halkaas wuu ka tegey oo wuxuu u baxsaday xagga bohoshii Cadullaam, oo markii walaalihiis iyo reerkii aabbihiis oo dhammu ay taas maqleen ayay halkaas isagii ugu tageen.
David [and his men] left Gath and went [east] to hide in a cave on a hill at Adullam [city]. Soon his [older] brothers and all his other relatives came and stayed with him there.
2 Oo mid kasta oo cidhiidhi ku jira, iyo mid kasta oo deyn qaba, iyo mid kasta oo aan raalli ahaynba isagay isu soo urursadeen, oo isna wuxuu u noqday madax u taliya, oo waxaa isaga la joogay in ku dhow afar boqol oo nin.
Then other men came there. Some were men who had caused trouble, some were men who owed money, and some were men who were not content [IDM] [with the government]. They continued to come until there were 400 men there, and David was their leader.
3 Markaasaa Daa'uud halkaas ka tegey oo Misfaahdii reer Moo'aab u kacay; oo wuxuu boqorkii reer Moo'aab ku yidhi, Waan ku baryayaaye, aabbahay iyo hooyaday ha soo baxeen oo ha kula joogeen, ilaa aan ogaado waxa Ilaah ii samaynayo.
Later they left there and went [east] to Mizpah [city] in the Moab region. There David requested the king of Moab, “Please allow my father and mother to live here with you until I know what God is going to do for me.”
4 Oo wuxuu iyagii hor keenay boqorkii reer Moo'aab, oo isagay la joogeen intii Daa'uud dhufayska ku jiray oo dhan.
[The king gave him permission, ] so David’s parents stayed with the king of Moab all the time that David and the men who were with him were hiding [in that area].
5 Markaasaa Nebi Gaad wuxuu Daa'uud ku yidhi, Dhufayska ha ku sii jirine bax oo waxaad tagtaa dalka Yahuudah. Markaasaa Daa'uud tegey, oo wuxuu yimid kayntii Xaared.
One day the prophet Gad told David, “Leave (your fortress/this area) and return to Judah.” So David and his men went to Hereth forest [in Judah].
6 Markaasaa Saa'uul wuxuu maqlay in Daa'uud iyo raggii la jirayba la soo arkay; oo Saa'uulna wuxuu joogay Gibecaah, isagoo hoos fadhiya geed Raamaah ku yaal, oo warankiisiina gacanta ugu jiro, addoommadiisii oo dhammuna hareero taagan yihiin.
One day, someone told Saul that David and his men had arrived in Judah. On that day, Saul was sitting underneath the tamarisk tree on a hill at Gibeah [town]. He was holding his spear, and was surrounded by his army officers.
7 Kolkaasaa Saa'uul wuxuu ku yidhi addoommadiisii hareerahiisa taagnaa, Bal maqla hadda, kuwiinnan reer Benyaamiinow, wiilka Yesay miyuu midkiin kastaba siinayaa beero iyo beero canab ah, oo miyuu kulligiin idinka wada dhigi doonaa kuwo kun kun u taliya, iyo kuwo boqol boqol u taliya?
He shouted to them, “You men of the tribe of Benjamin, listen to me! Do you think that the son of Jesse will give all of you fields and vineyards [if he becomes your king]? Will he appoint all of you to become generals and captains [in his army] [RHQ]?
8 Ma saasaad kulligiin iigu heshiiseen, oo uu midkiinna iigu soo sheegi waayay markii wiilkaygu axdi la dhiganayay wiilka Yesay, oo uu midkiinna ii nixi waayay, wuuna iigu soo sheegi waayay in wiilkaygu igu kiciyey addoonkayga inuu i gaado sida maanta oo kale?
Is that why you have all conspired against me [RHQ]? None of you told me when my son [Jonathan] made a solemn agreement with that son of Jesse. None of you feels sorry for me. That son of Jesse was my servant, but now my son is encouraging him to hide in order to (ambush me/attack me suddenly), as he is doing today!”
9 Markaasaa waxaa jawaabay Do'eeggii reer Edom oo ag taagnaa Saa'uul addoommadiisa, oo wuxuu yidhi, Waxaan arkay wiilkii Yesay oo Nob ku soo socda oo u yimid Axiimeleg ina Axiituub.
Doeg, a man from the Edom people-group, was standing there with Saul’s officers. He said to Saul, “When I was at Nob, I saw that son of Jesse talking to Ahimelech, the priest.
10 Oo isna Rabbiguu wax u weyddiiyey, oo saadna wuu siiyey, oo seeftii Goli'adkii reer Falastiinna wuu siiyey.
Ahimelech asked Yahweh what David should do. Then Ahimelech gave to David some food and the sword of Goliath, [the giant] from the Philistia people-group.”
11 Kolkaasaa boqorku u cid diray in loo yeedho wadaadkii Axiimeleg ee ahaa ina Axiituub, isagii iyo reerkii aabbihiis oo dhanba, kuwaas oo ahaa wadaaddadii Nob joogay; oo iyana kulligood boqorkii bay u yimaadeen.
Then Saul summoned Ahimelech and all Ahimelech’s relatives who were priests at Nob. So they all came to the king.
12 Markaasaa Saa'uul ku yidhi, Bal hadda maqal, ina Axiituubow. Oo isna wuxuu ugu jawaabay, Sayidkaygiiyow, waa i kan.
Saul said to Ahimelech, “You son of Ahitub, listen to me!” Ahimelech answered, “Yes, sir!”
13 Kolkaasaa Saa'uul ku yidhi, Maxaad iigu heshiiseen, adiga iyo ina Yesay, oo maxaad u siisay kibista iyo seefta, oo Ilaahna wax ugu weyddiisay si uu iigu kaco inuu i gaado sida maanta oo kale?
Saul said, “Why are you and Jesse’s son conspiring to get rid of me? You gave him some bread and a sword. You requested God to tell David what he should do. David has rebelled against me, and right now he is [hiding somewhere], waiting [to attack me].”
14 Markaasaa Axiimeleg wuxuu boqorkii ugu jawaabay, Bal yaa addoommadaada ka mid ah oo sida Daa'uud aamin u ah, kaasoo boqorku soddog u yahay, oo weliba shirkaaga ka qayb gala, oo reerkaagana sharaf ku leh?
Ahimelech replied, “[I do not understand why you are saying that, because] David, your son-in-law, the captain of your bodyguards, is very loyal to you. No one is more loyal to you than David! Everyone in your household respects him very much.
15 Anigu ma maantaan bilaabay inaan isaga Ilaah wax u weyddiiyo? Taasu ha iga fogaato. Anigu waxan oo dhan waxba kama ogi wax yar iyo wax badan toona, haddaba, boqorow, anigoo addoonkaaga ah iyo reerka aabbahay oo dhanba waxba ha na saarin.
Furthermore, this was certainly not [RHQ] the first time that I requested God to say what he wanted David to do. And it is not right for you to accuse me or any of my relatives [of trying to get rid of you], because I do not know anything about [anyone wanting to do that].”
16 Markaasaa boqorkii wuxuu yidhi, Axiimelegow, hubaal waad dhimanaysaa adiga iyo reerka aabbahaa oo dhammuba.
The king then shouted, “Ahimelech, you and your all your relatives are going to be executed right now!”
17 Dabadeedna boqorkii wuxuu waardiyayaashii hareerihiisa taagnaa ku yidhi, Ku jeesta oo wadaaddada Rabbiga laaya, maxaa yeelay, gacantoodu Daa'uud bay la jirtaa, oo iyagoo og inuu baxsaday ayayan ii soo sheegin, laakiinse boqorka addoommadiisii way diideen inay gacantooda ku fidiyaan oo laayaan wadaaddadii Rabbiga.
Then he commanded his bodyguards, “Kill these priests of Yahweh, because they are allies of David, and they are conspiring with David against me! They knew that David was trying to run away from me, but they did not tell me!” But Saul’s bodyguards refused to kill Yahweh’s priests.
18 Markaasaa boqorkii Do'eeg ku yidhi, Adigu ku jeeso oo wadaaddada laa. Do'eeggii reer Edomna wuu ku jeestay oo wadaaddadii laayay, oo maalintaas wuxuu laayay shan iyo siddeetan qof oo wada qaba eefod dhar wanaagsan laga sameeyey.
Then the king said to Doeg, “You kill them!” So Doeg, the man from the Edom people-group, went out and struck them with his sword. On that day he killed eighty-five men who were wearing the sacred vests [because they were God’s priests].
19 Oo magaaladii wadaaddada oo Nob ahaydna wixii joogay ayuu seef ku laayay. Rag iyo dumarba, iyo carruur iyo caanonuugba, iyo dibi iyo dameerro iyo idoba wuxuu ku wada laayay seef.
He also went and killed many people in Nob, the city where the priests lived. He killed men, women, children, babies, cattle, donkeys, and sheep there.
20 Oo waxaa ka baxsaday oo Daa'uud ka daba cararay mid ka mid ah wiilashii Axiimeleg ina Axiituub, magiciisana la odhan jiray Aabyaataar.
But Abiathar, Ahimelech’s son, escaped. He ran away and joined David [and the men who were with him].
21 Markaasaa Aabyaataar wuxuu Daa'uud u sheegay in Saa'uul laayay wadaaddadii Rabbiga.
He told David that Saul had commanded [Doeg] to kill Yahweh’s priests.
22 Kolkaasaa Daa'uud Aabyaataar ku yidhi, Maalintii Do'eeggii reer Edom halkaas joogay, waan garanayay inuu Saa'uul u sheegi doono. Dadkii reerka aabbahaa oo dhan anigaa dhimashada u soo jiiday.
Then David said to him, “That man from the Edom people-group, Doeg, was there at Nob on the day [that I was there]. I knew that he would surely tell Saul [what happened]. So it is my fault that your father and all of his family have been killed.
23 Haddaba aniga ila joog oo ha cabsan, maxaa yeelay, kii naftayda doona ayaa naftaadana doonaya, waayo, ammaan waad igula joogi doontaa.
You stay with me, and do not be afraid. The man who wants to kill you wants to kill me also, but you will be safe if you stay with me.”
