Samuu'Eel Labaad 13
1 Markaasaa Absaaloom ina Daa'uud wuxuu lahaa gabadh walaashiis ah oo suurad qurxoon, oo magaceedana waxaa la odhan jiray Taamaar; oo Amnoon oo ahaa ina Daa'uud ayaa caashaqay.
David’s son Absalom had a beautiful sister named Tamar. Another of David’s sons, Amnon, was attracted to Tamar.
2 Oo Amnoon ayaa u dhibtooday oo u bukooday walaashiis Taamaar, waayo, iyadu bikrad bay ahayd; Amnoonna dhib bay la noqotay inuu wax ku sameeyo.
He wanted [to have sex with] [EUP] his half-sister very much, with the result that he made himself sick [thinking about her all the time]. But it was not possible for Amnon to get her, because she was a virgin, [so they kept men away from her].
3 Laakiinse Amnoon wuxuu lahaa saaxiib, magiciisa la odhan jiray Yoonaadaab, oo uu dhalay Shimcaah oo ahaa Daa'uud walaalkiis; oo Yoonaadaabna nin sir badan buu ahaa.
But Amnon had a friend named Jonadab, who was the son of David’s brother Shimeah. Jonadab was a very crafty/shrewd man.
4 Markaasuu ku yidhi, Ina boqorow, maxaad maalinba maalinta ka dambaysa sidan ugu caatoobaysaa? War maad ii sheegtid? Kolkaasaa Amnoon wuxuu ku yidhi, Waxaan caashaqay Taamaar oo ah walaalkay Absaaloom walaashiis.
[One day] Jonadab said to Amnon, “You are the king’s son, but every day I see that [RHQ] you seem very depressed/sad. What is your problem?” Amnon replied, “I (am in love/want to sleep) [EUP] with Tamar, my half-brother Absalom’s sister.”
5 Markaasaa Yoonaadaab ku yidhi, Sariirtaada ku jiifso oo iska dhig sidii mid buka, oo markii aabbahaa kuu yimaado, waxaad ku tidhaahdaa, Waan ku baryayaaye walaashay Taamaar ha ii timaado, oo cunto ha i siiso, oo cuntadana hortayda ha ku samayso, aan iska fiirsadee, oo aan gacanteedana ku cunee.
Jonadab said to him, “Lie down on your bed, and pretend that you are sick. When your father comes to see you, say to him, ‘Allow my half-sister Tamar to come and give me some food to eat. She can prepare the food while I am watching her. Then she can serve it to me herself.’”
6 Sidaas daraaddeed Amnoon wuu jiifay, oo wuxuu iska dhigay sidii mid buka, oo markii boqorkii u yimid ayaa Amnoon boqorkii ku yidhi, Waan ku baryayaaye walaashay Taamaar ha ii timaado, oo hortayda ha iigu samayso laba xabbadood oo moofa ah, oo aan gacanteeda ku cunee.
So Amnon lay down, and pretended that he was sick. When the king came to see him, Amnon said to him, “[I am sick; ] please allow my half-sister Tamar to come and make a couple scones/dumplings for me while I am watching, and then she can serve them to me.”
7 Markaasaa Daa'uud Taamaar gurigii ugu cid diray, oo ku yidhi, Orod oo waxaad tagtaa gurigii walaalkaa Amnoon, oo isaga cunto u samee.
So David sent a message to Tamar in the palace, saying “Amnon [is sick and he wants you to] go to his house and prepare some food for him.”
8 Sidaas daraaddeed Taamaar gurigii walaalkeed Amnoon ayay tagtay; oo isna wuu iska jiifay. Markaasay qaadday cajiin, wayna cajiintay, oo hortiisay moofa ku samaysay, markaasay moofadiina dubtay.
So Tamar went to Amnon’s house, where he was lying in bed. She took some dough and kneaded it, and formed it into some scones/dumplings while he was watching her. Then she baked them.
9 Oo intay digsigii qaadday ayay hortiisa ku soo shubtay; laakiinse wuu diiday inuu cuno. Markaasaa Amnoon yidhi, Dadka oo dhan dibadda iiga bixiya. Iyana dibadday uga wada baxeen.
She took them out of the pan and put them [on a plate] in front of him, but he refused to eat them. Then he said to everyone else in the room, “All the rest of you, leave me now!” So all the others left his [room].
10 Kolkaasaa Amnoon wuxuu Taamaar ku yidhi, Cuntada qolka iigu keen, aan gacantaada ku cunee. Markaasay Taamaar qaadday moofadii ay samaysay, oo walaalkeed Amnoon qolka ugu keentay.
Then Amnon said to Tamar, “Bring the food into my room and serve it to me.” So Tamar took into his room the scones/dumplings that she had made.
11 Oo markay u soo dhowaysay inuu cuno ayuu iyadii qabsaday, oo wuxuu ku yidhi, Walaalay, kaalay ila seexo!
But when she brought them close for him to eat them, he grabbed her and said to her, “Come to bed with me!”
12 Oo waxay ugu jawaabtay, Maya, walaalkayow, ha i xoogin; waayo, waxan oo kale in reer binu Israa'iil lagu dhex sameeyo ma habboona, haddaba nacasnimadan ha samayn.
She replied, “No, do not force me to do such a disgraceful thing! We never do things like that in Israel! That would be awful/terrible!
13 Waayo, bal xaggee baan geeynayaa ceebtayda? Oo adiguna waxaad noqonaysaa nacasyada reer binu Israa'iil midkood. Haddaba waan ku baryayaaye, bal boqorka la hadal, waayo, isagu ii kaa diidi maayo.
As for me, if I did that, I would not be able to [RHQ] endure being disgraced by having done that. And as for you, everyone in Israel would condemn you for having done such a disgraceful deed. So I plead with you, talk to the king. I am sure that he will allow me to marry you.”
14 Habase yeeshee wuu diiday inuu codkeedii maqlo, laakiinse wuu xoogay oo la seexday, waayo, wuu ka xoog badnaa.
But he would not listen to her. He was stronger than she was, so he forced her to have sex with him.
15 Markaasaa Amnoon iyadii si aad iyo aad u weyn u nebcaaday, waayo, nacaybkuu u qabay wuu ka sii weynaa caashaquu caashaqay. Markaasaa Amnoon ku yidhi, Kac, oo iga tag.
Then Amnon hated her very much. He hated her much more than he had desired her. He said to her, “Get up and get out of here!”
16 Kolkaasay ku tidhi, Maya, saas ma aha, maxaa yeelay, xumaantan weyn ee aad igu bixinayso ayaa ka sii liidata tii kale ee aad igu samaysay. Laakiinse ma uu dhegaysan.
But she said to him, “No! It would be very wrong for you to send me away. It would be worse than what you just did to me!” But he would not listen to her.
17 Markaasuu u yeedhay midiidinkiisii u adeegayay, oo ku yidhi, Naagtan hadda dibadda iiga saar, oo albaabkana ka soo daba xidh.
He summoned his personal servant and said to him, “Take this woman outside, away from me, and lock the door [so that she cannot come in again]!”
18 Oo iyana waxay qabtay dhar midabyo kala duwan leh, waayo, dhar caynkaas ah ayay gabdhaha boqorka ee bikradaha ahu qabi jireen. Markaasaa addoonkiisii dibadda u soo saaray, oo albaabkiina ka soo daba xidhay.
So the servant put her outside and locked the door. Tamar was wearing a long robe with long sleeves, which was the clothing that was usually worn by the unmarried daughters of the king at that time.
19 Markaasaa Taamaar waxay madaxa ku shubatay dambas, oo ay jeexjeexday dharkii midabyada kala duwan lahaa oo ay qabtay; madaxayna gacmaha saartay, wayna iska tagtay iyadoo aad u ooyaysa.
But Tamar tore the long robe that she was wearing, and put ashes on her head [to show that she was very sad]. Then she put her hands on her head [to show that she was grieving], and she went away, crying.
20 Markaasaa walaalkeed Absaaloom wuxuu ku yidhi, Ma waxaa kula jiray walaalkaa Amnoon? Haddaba walaalay, bal iska aamus, oo waxan qalbiga ha ku qabsan, waayo, isagu waa walaalkaa. Sidaas daraaddeed Taamaar waxay ku hadhay oo ku cidlowday gurigii walaalkeed Absaaloom.
Her brother Absalom [saw her and] said to her, “Has your half-brother Amnon [DOU] forced you to have sex with him [EUP]? Please, my sister, do not tell anyone, and do not become depressed/sad.” So Tamar went to live in Absalom’s house, and she was very sad and lonely.
21 Laakiinse Boqor Daa'uud markuu waxyaalahan oo dhan maqlay, ayuu aad u cadhooday.
When King David heard about all that, he became very angry.
22 Oo Absaaloomna Amnoon kulama hadlin xumaan iyo samaan toona, waayo, Absaaloom wuu nebcaaday Amnoon, maxaa yeelay, walaashiis Taamaar buu xoogay.
And Absalom hated Amnon, because he had raped his sister, so he would not speak to Amnon about anything.
23 Oo laba sannadood markay buuxsameen dabadood Absaaloom wuxuu lahaa kuwo idaha dhogorta uga xiira oo jooga Bacal Xasoor, oo ku taal Efrayim dhinaciisa, oo Absaaloomna martiqaad buu ugu yeedhay wiilashii boqorka oo dhan.
Two years later, Absalom’s servants were shearing sheep at Baal-Hazor, which is near [a town named] Ephraim. [When they finished shearing the sheep, they celebrated], and Absalom invited all the king’s sons [to come and celebrate].
24 Oo Absaaloom boqorkii buu u yimid, oo ku yidhi, Bal eeg, idihii ayaan dhogorta ka xiiranayaa, haddaba waan ku baryayaaye, boqorow, adiga iyo addoommadaaduba i soo raaca anoo addoonkaaga ah.
Absalom went to the king and said to him, “Sir, my servants have been shearing my sheep. Please come with your officials [to celebrate] with us!”
25 Markaasaa boqorkii wuxuu Absaaloom ku yidhi, Wiilkaygiiyow saas ma aha, ee yaannan kulligayo wada tegin, waaba intaasoo aannu culaab kugu noqonnaaye. Oo isna wuu ku sii adkeeyey, habase yeeshee wuu diiday inuu raaco, laakiinse wuu u duceeyey.
But the king replied, “No, my son, it would not be good for all of us to go, because it would cause you to do a lot of work and spend a lot of money for food.” Absalom continued urging him, but the king would not go. Instead, he said that he hoped/desired that God would bless them [while they celebrated].
26 Markaasaa Absaaloom wuxuu yidhi, Haddaba haddaanay saas ahayn, ii daa walaalkay Amnoon ha i raacee. Kolkaasaa boqorkii wuxuu ku yidhi, Muxuu kuu raacayaa?
Then Absalom said, “If you will not go, please allow my half-brother Amnon to go with us.” But the king replied, “Why [do you want] him to go with you?”
27 Laakiinse Absaaloom wuu ku sii adkeeyey inuu u daayo Amnoon iyo wiilashii boqorka oo dhammuba inay raacaan.
But Absalom continued to insist, so finally the king permitted Amnon and all David’s other sons to go with Absalom.
28 Markaasaa Absaaloom midiidinnadiisii amray, oo ku yidhi, Haddaba ogaada markii Amnoon intuu khamriga cabbo ku farxo, oo aan idinku idhaahdo, Amnoon dila, markaas waa inaad dishaan, hana baqina, waayo, sow anigu idinkuma amrin? Saas aawadeed dhiirranaada oo xoog yeesha.
[So they all went. And at the celebration], Absalom commanded his servants, “Notice when Amnon has become a bit drunk from the wine. Then when I signal to you, kill him. Do not be afraid; you will be doing this [only] because I told you [RHQ] to do it. So be courageous and do it!”
29 Oo midiidinnadii Absaaloomna waxay Amnoon ku sameeyeen wixii Absaaloom ku amray. Markaasaa wiilashii boqorka oo dhammu wada kaceen, oo nin waluba wuxuu fuulay baqalkiisii, wayna wada carareen.
So Absalom’s servants did what Absalom told them to do. [They killed Amnon]. All the rest of David’s sons [saw what happened and] fled, riding on their mules.
30 Oo intay sii socdeen ayaa war u yimid Daa'uud, oo waxaa lagu yidhi, Absaaloom wuxuu laayay wiilashii boqorka oo dhan, oo mid qudhuhuna kama hadhin.
While they were on their way home, someone [went quickly and] reported to David, “Absalom has killed all of your other sons; none of them is still alive!”
31 Markaasaa boqorkii kacay, oo dharkiisii jeexjeexay, oo dhulkuu ku jiifsaday, oo addoommadiisii oo dhammuna agtiisa soo istaageen iyagoo dharkoodii jeexjeexay.
The king stood up, tore his clothes [because he was extremely sad], and then he threw himself down on the ground. All the servants who were there also tore their clothes.
32 Markaasaa Yoonaadaab, oo ahaa ina Shime'aah Daa'uud walaalkiisii ayaa ugu jawaabay, Sayidkaygiiyow, ha moodin in la wada laayay wiilashii boqorka oo dhan, laakiinse waxaa dhintay Amnoon oo keliya, waayo, Absaaloom taas wuu goostay, wuuna ku talo jiray tan iyo maalintii uu Amnoon xoogay walaashiis Taamaar.
But Jonadab, the son of David’s brother Shimeah, said, “Your Majesty, [I am sure that] they have not killed all your sons. [I am sure that] only Amnon is dead, because Absalom has determined to do this ever since the day that Amnon raped [EUP] his half-sister Tamar.
33 Haddaba, boqorow, sayidkaygiiyow, waxan qalbiga ha ku qabsan, oo ha moodin in wiilashaadii ay wada dhinteen, laakiinse waxaa dhintay Amnoon oo keliya.
So, your majesty, do not believe the report that all your sons are dead. [I am sure that] only Amnon is dead.”
34 Laakiinse Absaaloom wuu cararay. Markaasaa ninkii dhallinyarada ahaa ee gaadhka hayay indhaha kor u qaaday, oo wax fiiriyey, oo wuxuu arkay dad badan oo ka soo socda jidka mara buurta dhinaceeda meel isaga ka dambaysa.
In the meantime, Absalom ran away. Just then, the soldier/sentry [who was standing on the city wall] saw a large crowd of people coming down the hill along the road from Horonaim. [He ran and told the king what he had seen].
35 Markaasaa Yoonaadaab wuxuu boqorkii ku yidhi, Bal eeg, boqorow, wiilashaadii waa yimaadeen, oo sidii anoo addoonkaaga ahu aan kugu idhi, way noqotay.
Jonadab said to the king, “Aha! What I told you is true. Your other sons [are alive and] have come!”
36 Oo isla haddiiba markuu hadalkii dhammeeyey ayay wiilashii boqorku yimaadeen, codkoodiina kor bay u qaadeen, oo ooyeen, oo boqorkii iyo addoommadiisiina aad bay u ooyeen.
And as soon as he said that, David’s sons came in. They all started crying, and David and all his officials also cried very much.
37 Laakiinse Absaaloom wuu cararay, oo u tegey boqorkii Geshuur oo ahaa Talmay ina Cammiixuur. Oo maalin kastaba Daa'uud wiilkiisii ayuu u barooranayay.
But Absalom had fled. He went to stay with the king of [the] Geshur [region], who was Talmai the son of Ammihud. Absalom stayed there for three years. David mourned for his son Amnon for a long time,
38 Sidaasuu Absaaloom u cararay, oo Geshuur u tegey, oo saddex sannadood buu halkaas joogay.
39 Boqor Daa'uudna aad buu ugu xiisooday inuu u tago Absaaloom; waayo, wuu ka samray Amnoon, maxaa yeelay, wuu dhintay.
but after that, he desired very much to see Absalom, because he was no longer grieving about Amnon being dead.
