Samuu'Eel Labaad 12
1 Dabadeedna Rabbigu wuxuu Daa'uud u soo diray Naataan. Isna waa u yimid oo ku yidhi, Waxaa jiray laba nin oo isku magaalo degganaa; midkood wuxuu ahaa taajir, midka kalena miskiin.
Yahweh [told the prophet Nathan what David had done, and he] sent Nathan to tell [this story to] David: “[I heard about] two men [who] were living in a certain city. One was rich and the other was poor.
2 Ninkii taajirka ahaa wuxuu lahaa ido iyo lo' aad u badan,
The rich man owned a lot of cattle and sheep.
3 laakiinse ninkii miskiinka ahaa waxba ma lahayn, nayl yar mooyaane, taasoo uu mar hore soo iibsaday oo uu korsaday; waxayna la kortay isagii iyo carruurtiisii, oo wax bay ka cuntay cuntadiisii, oo koobkiisay wax kula cabtay, oo laabtiisay ku jiifsatay, waxayna u ahayd sidii gabadhiisii oo kale.
But the poor man had only one little female lamb, which he had bought. He raised the lamb, and it grew up with his children. He would give the lamb some of his own food and let it drink from his cup. He let the lamb sleep in his arms. The lamb was like a daughter to him.
4 Waxaa ninkii taajirka ahaa u yimid nin socoto ah, markaasuu ka lexejeclaystay idihiisii iyo lo'diisii inuu uga loogo ninkii socotada ahaa ee u yimid, laakiinse wuxuu soo qabtay nayshii ninka miskiinka ahaa, wuuna u qalay ninkii u yimid.
[One day] a visitor came to [visit] the rich man. The rich man did not want to take one of his own animals [and kill it] to prepare a meal for the visitor. So instead, he stole the poor man’s lamb [and killed it] and prepared a meal for his visitor.”
5 Markaasaa Daa'uud aad ugu cadhooday ninkii; oo wuxuu Naataan ku yidhi, Rabbiga noloshiisaan ku dhaartay, ninkii waxakan sameeyey wuxuu istaahilaa dhimasho,
[When] David [heard that, he] was very angry about [what] the rich man [had done]. He said to Nathan, “I solemnly declare that the man who did that should be executed!
6 oo nayshiina waa inuu afar jibbaar u gudaa, maxaa yeelay, waxan buu sameeyey wuuna naxariisan waayay.
But before he is executed, he should pay back to the poor man four lambs for doing this, and for not having pity [on the poor man].”
7 Kolkaasaa Naataan wuxuu Daa'uud ku yidhi, Ninkaasu waa adiga. Rabbiga ah Ilaaha reer binu Israa'iil wuxuu leeyahay, Waxaan kuu subkay inaad ahaatid boqor reer binu Israa'iil u taliya, gacantii Saa'uulna waan kaa samatabbixiyey,
Nathan said to David, “You are the man [I have been talking about]! And this is what Yahweh, the God we Israelis [worship], says to you: ‘I appointed you to be king of Israel, after having rescued you from Saul.
8 gurigii sayidkaagana waan ku siiyey, naagihii sayidkaagana laabtaadaan ku jiifiyey; dalkii Israa'iil iyo dalkii Yahuudahna waan ku siiyey; oo haddii intaasu kugu yaraydna waxaan kuugu dari lahaa waxyaalo kaloo ka sii badan.
I gave you his palace and his wives. I caused you to become the king to rule Israel and Judah. If [you had told me that] you were not content with what I gave you, I would have given you twice as much!
9 Haddaba erayga Rabbiga maxaad u quudhsatay, oo aad u samaysay waxa hortiisa ku xun? Seef baad ku dishay Uuriyaah kii reer Xeed, oo naagtiisiina waad u kaxaysatay inay naag kuu noqoto, oo isagiina waxaad ku dishay seeftii reer Cammoon.
So why have you despised my commandment [about not committing adultery]? You have done what I consider to be very evil! You have arranged for Uriah to be killed in a battle by the Ammon people-group’s soldiers, and you have taken his wife to be your wife!
10 Sidaas daraaddeed seeftu reerkaaga ka tegi mayso; maxaa yeelay, waad i quudhsatay, oo waxaad kaxaysatay naagtii Uuriyaah kii reer Xeed inay naag kuu noqoto.
You have despised me, and have taken Uriah’s wife to be your wife. So for many generations some of your descendants will die violently. [MTY, PRS]
11 Oo Rabbigu wuxuu leeyahay, Bal ogow, shar baan gurigaaga kaaga kicin doonaa, oo adoo u jeeda ayaan naagahaaga kaa kaxaysan doonaa, oo waxaan siin doonaa deriskaaga, oo isna intay qorraxdanu soo jeeddo ayuu naagahaaga la seexan doonaa.
I solemnly declare to you that I will cause someone from your own family to bring trouble to you. I will take your wives and give them to him, and he will have sexual relations with them in the daytime, where everyone can see it, and you will know all about it.
12 Waayo, waxan qarsoodi baad u samaysay, laakiinse anigu bayaan baan ugu hor samaynayaa reer binu Israa'iil oo dhan iyo qorraxdaba.
What you did, you did secretly, but what I will cause to happen, everyone in Israel will be able to see it [or know about it]. [IDM]’”
13 Markaasaa Daa'uud wuxuu Naataan ku yidhi, Anigu Rabbiga waan ku dembaabay. Oo Naataanna wuxuu Daa'uud ku yidhi, Rabbigu dembigaagii wuu kaa fogeeyey; dhimanna maysid.
David replied, “I have sinned against Yahweh.” Nathan said to David, “Yahweh has forgiven you for your sin: You will not die [because of this sin].
14 Habase yeeshee waxaas aad samaysay aawadiis ayaad meel siisay cadaawayaashii Rabbiga inay caytamaan, taas aawadeed wiilka kuu dhashay hubaal wuu dhiman doonaa.
But, you have shown contempt for Yahweh by doing this. So, your baby will die.”
15 Markaasaa Naataan gurigiisii tegey. Markaasaa Rabbigu wax ku riday wiilkii naagta Uuriyaah Daa'uud u dhashay, aad buuna u bukay.
Then Nathan went home. Then Yahweh caused the baby t o become very sick, the one that Uriah’s wife had given birth to.
16 Sidaas daraaddeed Daa'uud ayaa wiilkiisii Ilaah u baryay, kolkaasaa Daa'uud soomay, oo intuu gudaha galay ayuu habeenkii oo dhan dhulka jiifay.
So David prayed to God that the child [would not die]. He (fasted/abstained from food), and he went into [the room where he slept] and lay all night on the floor.
17 Markaasaa waxaa soo kacay odayaashii reerkiisa, oo intay agtiisa soo istaageen ayay damceen inay dhulka ka kiciyaan, laakiinse wuu diiday, oo waxbana lama uu cunin.
[The next morning] his advisors stood around him and urged him to get up. But he would not get up, and he would not eat any food with them.
18 Oo maalintii toddobaad ayaa yarkii dhintay. Oo Daa'uud addoommadiisiina way ka cabsadeen inay Daa'uud u sheegaan in yarkii dhintay, waayo, waxay isyidhaahdeen, War intii yarku weli noolaa ayaynu isaga la hadalnay, oo isna codkeennii ma uu maqlin; haddaba haddaynu u sheegno in yarkii dhintay, intee in ka badan buu isdhibi doonaa?
One week later the baby died. David’s servants were afraid to tell that to David. They said [to each other], “Hey, while the baby was still alive, we talked to him, but he would not answer us. Now, if we tell him that the baby is dead [RHQ], he may do something to harm himself!”
19 Laakiinse Daa'uud markuu arkay inay addoommadiisii faqayaan ayuu ogaaday inuu yarkii dhintay; kolkaasaa Daa'uud addoommadiisii ku yidhi, War yarkii ma dhintay? Iyana waxay ku yidhaahdeen, Haah, wuu dhintay.
But when David saw that his servants were whispering something to each other, he realized that the baby must be dead. So he asked them, “Is the baby dead?” They replied, “Yes, he is dead.”
20 Kolkaasaa Daa'uud dhulkii ka kacay, oo maydhay, oo intuu subkaday ayuu dharkiisii beddeshay; wuxuuna galay gurigii Rabbiga, wuuna caabuday; oo dabadeedna gurigiisii buu yimid, oo intuu cunto weyddiistay ayaa wax la soo hor dhigay, wuuna cunay.
Then David got up from the floor. He bathed himself, put lotions on his body, and put on other clothes, Then he went into Yahweh’s Sacred Tent and worshiped Yahweh. Then he went home. He asked his servants for some food. They gave him some, and he ate it.
21 Markaasaa addoommadiisii waxay ku yidhaahdeen, War waxan aad samaysay waa maxay? Wiilku intuu noolaa ayaad soontay, oo u ooyday aawadiis; laakiinse yarkii markuu dhintay, waad kacday, wax baanad cuntay.
Then his servants said to him, “We do not understand [RHQ] why you have done this! While the baby was still alive, you cried for him and refused to eat anything. But now that the baby has died, [you are not crying any more!] You got up and ate some food!”
22 Markaasuu ku yidhi, Intii yarku noolaa ayaan soomay oo ooyay, waayo, waxaan is-idhi, Bal yaa og in Rabbigu ii roonaan doono iyo in kale si uu yarku iigu sii noolaado?
David replied, “While the baby was still alive, I fasted and cried. I thought, ‘Who knows? Yahweh may be merciful to me and not allow the baby to die’.
23 Laakiinse haatan wuu dhintay, haddaba bal maxaan u soomaa? Miyaan isagii soo celin karaa? Anigaa u tegi doona, laakiinse isagu iima soo noqon doono.
But now the baby is dead. So (there is no reason for me to (fast/abstain from eating food) any more./why should I (fast/abstain from eating food) any more?) [RHQ] (Can I bring him back to me?/I certainly cannot bring him back to me!) [RHQ] [Some day] I will go to where he is, but he will not return to me.”
24 Markaasaa Daa'uud qalbi qabowjiiyey naagtiisii Batshebac, oo intuu u tegey ayuu la seexday, markaasay wiil u dhashay, oo wuxuu magiciisii u bixiyey Sulaymaan. Kolkaasaa Rabbigu isagii jeclaaday,
Then David comforted his wife, Bathsheba. Then he (slept/had sexual relations) with her, and she [became pregnant again and] gave birth to another son. David named that son Solomon. Yahweh loved that little boy.
25 oo wuxuu u diray Nebi Naataan, magiciisiina wuxuu u bixiyey Yediidyaah, Rabbiga aawadiis.
He told the prophet Nathan to tell David to name the baby boy Jedediah [which means ‘loved by Yahweh’, ] because Yahweh loved him.
26 Markaasaa Yoo'aab la diriray Rabbaah oo ahayd magaaladii reer Cammoon, wuuna qabsaday magaaladii reer boqor.
(Meanwhile/While all that was happening), Joab’s [soldiers] attacked Rabbah, [the capital city] of the Ammon people-group; and they captured the king’s fortress.
27 Yoo'aabna wuxuu Daa'uud u diray wargeeyayaal, oo ku yidhi, Waxaan la diriray Rabbaah, waanan qabsaday magaaladii biyaha.
Then Joab sent messengers to David, to tell him this: “My troops are attacking Rabbah, and we have captured the city’s water supply.
28 Haddaba dadka intiisa kale soo ururso, oo magaalada horteeda deg, oo qabso, waayo, waaba intaasoo intaan magaalada qabsado, laygu magacaabaaye.
Now gather your troops and come and surround the city and capture it. If you do not do that, my troops will capture the city and it will then be named ‘the City of Joab’.”
29 Markaasaa Daa'uud dadkii oo dhan soo urursaday, wuxuuna tegey ilaa Rabbaah, wuuna la diriray, oo qabsaday.
So David gathered all his troops. They went [with David] to Rabbah and attacked it and captured it.
30 Boqorkoodii madaxiisii ayuu taajkii ka qaaday, oo miisaankiisuna wuxuu ahaa talanti dahab ah, dhagxan qaali ahna wuu lahaa; markaasaa Daa'uud madaxa loo saaray. Oo wuxuu dibadda u soo bixiyey dhacii magaalada oo aad iyo aad u badnaa.
Then David took the crown from the head of the king of Rabbah (OR, from the head of [Milcom] the god of Rabbah) and put it on his own head. It [was very heavy; it] weighed (75 pounds/34 kg.), and it had many very valuable stones fastened to it. His soldiers also took many other valuable things from the city.
31 Dibadduu u soo bixiyey dadkii magaalada ku jiray, oo wuxuu hoos dhigay miinshaaro, iyo biro wax lagu qodo, iyo faasas biro ah, oo wuxuu ka dhex dusiyey meesha lebenka lagu dubo; saasuuna u wada galay magaalooyinkii reer Cammoon oo dhan. Markaasaa Daa'uud iyo dadkii oo dhammu ku noqdeen Yeruusaalem.
Then they brought the people of Rabbah out of the city and forced them to [work for them] using saws and iron picks and axes. David’s troops also forced them to make bricks. David’s soldiers did this in all the towns of the Ammon people-group. Then David and all of his army returned to Jerusalem.
