Samuu'Eel Labaad 14

1 Markaasaa Yoo'aab oo ay Seruuyaah dhashay ayaa ogaaday in boqorka qalbigiisii Absaaloom la jiro.

Now Joab the son of Zeruiah perceived that the king's heart was toward Absalom.

2 Markaasaa Yoo'aab u cid diray Teqooca, oo wuxuu halkaas uga yeedhay naag caqli badan, oo ku yidhi, Waan ku baryayaaye, waxaad iska dhigtaa sidii mid barooranaysa, oo waan ku baryayaaye, waxaad xidhataa dharkii baroorta, saliidna ha ku subkan, laakiinse waxaad noqotaa sidii naag wakhti dheer ku ka dhintay u barooranaysay;

And Joab sent to Tekoa, and fetched from there a wise woman, and said to her, I pray thee, feign thyself to be a mourner, and put on mourning apparel, I pray thee, and do not anoint thyself with oil, but be as a woman who has a long time mourned for the dead.

3 oo waxaad u gashaa boqorka, oo sidan ula hadal. Sidaasuu Yoo'aab erayadii afka ugu riday.

And go in to the king, and speak on this manner to him. So Joab put the words in her mouth.

4 Oo naagtii reer Teqooca markay boqorkii la hadashay ayay dhulka wejiga saartay oo u sujuudday, oo waxay ku tidhi, Boqorow, i caawi.

And when the woman of Tekoa spoke to the king, she fell on her face to the ground, and did obeisance, and said, Help, O king.

5 Markaasaa boqorkii wuxuu ku yidhi, Naa maxaa kugu dhacay? Oo iyana waxay ugu jawaabtay, Sida runta ah waxaan ahay naag carmal ah, oo ninkaygiina waa dhintay.

And the king said to her, What troubles thee? And she answered, Of a truth I am a widow, and my husband is dead.

6 Oo anoo addoontaadii ahuna waxaan lahaa laba wiil, oo labadoodii ayaa ku diriray duurka, oo wax kala qabtaana lama jirin; markaasaa midkood kii kale wax ku dhuftay, wuuna dilay.

And thy handmaid had two sons, and they two strove together in the field, and there was none to part them, but the one smote the other, and killed him.

7 Oo bal eeg, anoo addoontaada ah waxaa igu kacay reerkii oo dhan, oo waxay igu yidhaahdeen, Noo keen kii walaalkiis dilay, aannu walaalkiis oo uu nafta ka qaaday daraaddiis u dilnee, oo aannu kan dhaxalka lehna dilnee; oo saasna waxay u bakhtiin doonaan dhuxushii ii hadhay, oo ninkaygana dhulka uguma ay reebi doonaan magac iyo wax u hadha toona.

And, behold, the whole family is risen against thy handmaid, and they say, Deliver him who smote his brother that we may kill him for the life of his brother whom he killed, and so destroy the heir also. Thus they will quench my coal which is left, and will leave to my husband neither name nor remainder upon the face of the earth.

8 Markaasaa boqorkii naagtii ku yidhi, Orod oo gurigaagii tag, oo amar kugu saabsan baan bixin doonaa.

And the king said to the woman, Go to thy house, and I will give charge concerning thee.

9 Naagtii reer Teqoocana waxay boqorkii ku tidhi, Boqorow, Sayidkaygiiyow, dembigu ha saarnaado aniga iyo reerka aabbahayba; oo adiga iyo carshigaaguna ka eed la'aada, boqorow.

And the woman of Tekoa said to the king, My lord, O king, the iniquity be on me, and on my father's house, and the king and his throne be guiltless.

10 Boqorkiina wuxuu yidhi, Ku alla kii kula hadla, ii keen oo isna mar dambe ku taaban maayo.

And the king said, Whoever says anything to thee, bring him to me, and he shall not touch thee any more.

11 Markaasay tidhi, Waan ku baryayaaye, Boqorow, xusuuso Rabbiga Ilaahaaga ah, si kan dhiig u aaraa uusan mar dambe wax u dilin, waaba intaasoo ay wiilkayga dilaane. Oo isna wuxuu ku yidhi, Nolosha Rabbigaan ku dhaartaye inaan wiilkaaga tin keli ahi dhulka kaga dhacayn.

Then she said, I pray thee, let the king remember Jehovah thy God, that the avenger of blood not destroy any more, lest they destroy my son. And he said, As Jehovah lives, there shall not one hair of thy son fall to the earth.

12 Markaasaa naagtii tidhi, Waan ku baryayaaye, anoo addoontaada ah, aan eray kugula hadlo, boqorow sayidkaygiiyow. Isna wuxuu yidhi, Bal ku hadal.

Then the woman said, Let thy handmaid, I pray thee, speak a word to my lord the king. And he said, Say on.

13 Naagtiina waxay tidhi, Maxaad ugu fikirtay wax sidaas ah oo dadka Ilaah ka gees ah? Waayo, waxan aad ku hadlaysay daraaddii, boqorow, waxaad tahay sida mid gardaran, maxaa yeelay, mar dambe reerkii kuma aad soo celin kaagii aad eriday, boqorow.

And the woman said, Why then have thou devised such a thing against the people of God? For in speaking this word the king is as he who is guilty, in that the king does not fetch home again his banished one.

14 Waayo, kolleyba dhammaanteen waan dhimanaynaa, oo waxaannu la mid nahay sidii biyo dhulka ku daatay, oo aan mar dambe la soo ururin karin; oo Ilaahna nafta ma qaado, laakiinse si fiican buu u talaggalaa, si uusan kii xaggiisa laga eryay u noqonin ku isaga ka go'ay.

For we must die, and are as water split on the ground, which cannot be gathered up again, neither does God take away life, but devises means that he who is banished be not an outcast from him.

15 Sidaas daraaddeed ayaan kuugu imid, boqorow, sayidkaygiiyow, inaan eraygan kugula hadlo; maxaa yeelay, dadkaa i cabsiiyey, markaasaan anoo addoontaada ah is-idhi, Haatan waxaan la hadlayaa boqorka, waayo, waaba intaasoo uu boqorku ii yeelaa waxaan weyddiisto anoo addoontiisa ah.

Now therefore seeing that I have come to speak this word to my lord the king, it is because the people have made me afraid. And thy handmaid said, I will now speak to the king. It may be that the king will perform the request of his servant.

16 Waayo, boqorku wuu i maqli doonaa, inuu anoo addoontiisa ah iga samatabbixiyo gacantii ninkii doonayay inuu na baabbi'iyo oo dhaxalka Ilaahna naga saaro aniga iyo wiilkaygaba.

For the king will hear to deliver his servant out of the hand of the man who would destroy me and my son together out of the inheritance of God.

17 Haddaba anoo addoontaada ah waxaan idhi, Boqorka sayidkayga ah hadalkiisu ha ahaado mid i nasiya, waayo, boqorka sayidkayga ahu sida malaa'igta Ilaah ayuu u kala gartaa xumaanta iyo samaanta. Rabbiga Ilaahaaga ahuna ha kula jiro.

Then thy handmaid said, Let, I pray thee, the word of my lord the king be gracious, for as an agent of God, so is my lord the king to discern good and bad. And Jehovah thy God be with thee.

18 Markaasaa boqorkii naagtii ugu jawaabay, Waan ku baryayaaye waxa aan ku weyddiin doono, waxba ha iga qarin. Oo naagtiina waxay tidhi, Boqorow, sayidkaygiiyow, bal iska hadal.

Then the king answered and said to the woman, Hide not from me, I pray thee, anything that I shall ask thee. And the woman said, Let my lord the king now speak.

19 Boqorkiina wuxuu yidhi, Waxyaalahan oo dhan ma Yoo'aab baa kugu weheliya? Kolkaasaa naagtii ugu jawaabtay, Boqorow, sayidkaygiiyow, naftaada nool baan ku dhaartaye inaan ninna xagga midigta ama xagga bidixda uga leexan karin waxaad tidhi, boqorow, sayidkaygiiyow, waayo, addoonkaaga Yoo'aab ah ayaa igu amray waxan, oo erayadan oo dhanna isagaa afka iigu riday, anoo addoontaada ah.

And the king said, Is the hand of Joab with thee in all this? And the woman answered and said, As thy soul lives, my lord the king, none can turn to the right hand or to the left from anything that my lord the king has spoken, for thy servant Joab, he bade me, and he put all these words in the mouth of thy handmaid.

20 Addoonkaaga Yoo'aab ahu wuxuu waxan u sameeyey inuu xaalka si kale u beddelo aawadeed. Sayidkaygiiyow, caqli baad leedahay, waxaanad leedahay xigmad sida tan malaa'igta Ilaah oo kale ah, oo waxaad garan kartaa waxyaalaha dhulka ku jira oo dhan.

Thy servant Joab has done this thing to change the face of the matter. And my lord is wise, according to the wisdom of an agent of God, to know all things that are on the earth.

21 Markaasaa boqorkii wuxuu Yoo'aab ku yidhi, Bal eeg, waxan baan sameeyey; haddaba tag, oo soo celi ninkii dhallinyarada ahaa ee ahaa Absaaloom.

And the king said to Joab, Behold now, I have done this thing. Go therefore, bring the young man Absalom back.

22 Kolkaasaa Yoo'aab dhulka wejiga saaray, oo sujuuday, oo boqorkii u duceeyey; wuxuuna Yoo'aab yidhi, Boqorow, sayidkaygiiyow, maanta anoo addoonkaaga ah waan ogahay inaan raallinimo kaa helay, waayo, boqorow, waad ii yeeshay wixii aan ku weyddiistay, anoo addoonkaaga ah.

And Joab fell to the ground on his face, and did obeisance, and blessed the king. And Joab said, Today thy servant knows that I have found favor in thy sight, my lord, O king, in that the king has performed the request of his servant.

23 Sidaas daraaddeed Yoo'aab wuu kacay, oo Geshuur tegey, oo Absaaloomna Yeruusaalem buu keenay.

So Joab arose and went to Geshur, and brought Absalom to Jerusalem.

24 Markaasaa boqorkii yidhi, Gurigiisii ha ku noqdo, laakiinse yuusan wejigayga arkin. Saas aawadeed Absaaloom wuxuu ku noqday gurigiisii, mana uu arkin boqorka wejigiisii.

And the king said, Let him turn to his own house, but let him not see my face. So Absalom turned to his own house, and did not see the king's face.

25 Haddaba reer binu Israa'iil oo dhan laguma arag nin Absaaloom la mid ah oo quruxdiisa aad loogu ammaano, waayo, cagtiisa cad ilaa dhaladiisa innaba iin laguma arag.

Now in all Israel there was none to be so much praised as Absalom for his beauty; from the sole of his foot even to the crown of his head there was no blemish in him.

26 Haddaba timihiisu way ku cuslaayeen, oo sannad kasta dhammaadkeeda ayuu iska jari jiray, oo markuu timaha madaxiisa jaro wuu miisaami jiray oo miisaankoodu wuxuu ahaa laba boqol oo sheqel ee ah miisaanka boqorka.

And when he cut the hair of his head (now it was at every year's end that he cut it, because it was heavy on him, therefore he cut it), he weighed the hair of his head at two hundred shekels, after the king's weight.

27 Oo Absaaloom waxaa u dhashay saddex wiil, iyo gabadh magaceeda la odhan jiray Taamaar, oo iyana waxay ahayd naag suurad qurxoon.

And to Absalom there were born three sons, and one daughter whose name was Tamar. She was a woman of a fair countenance.

28 Oo Absaaloomna Yeruusaalem laba sannadood oo dhan ayuu degganaa, mana uu arag wejigii boqorka.

And Absalom dwelt two full years in Jerusalem, and he did not see the king's face.

29 Markaasaa Absaaloom u cid dirtay Yoo'aab inuu boqorka u diro; laakiinse wuu diiday inuu u yimaado; oo haddana mar labaad buu u cid dirtay, laakiinse wuu diiday inuu yimaado.

Then Absalom sent for Joab to send him to the king, but he would not come to him. And he sent again a second time, but he would not come.

30 Sidaas daraaddeed Absaaloom wuxuu addoommadiisii ku yidhi, Bal eega, Yoo'aab beertiisu waxay u dhow dahay tayda, oo waxaa ugu taal shaciir; haddaba taga oo dab qabadsiiya. Markaasaa Absaaloom addoommadiisii beertii dab qabadsiiyeen.

Therefore he said to his servants, See, Joab's field is near mine, and he has barley there. Go and set it on fire. And Absalom's servants set the field on fire.

31 Dabadeedna Yoo'aab baa soo kacay oo Absaaloom gurigiisii ugu yimid, oo ku yidhi, War addoommadaadu maxay beertayda dab u qabadsiiyeen?

Then Joab arose, and came to Absalom to his house, and said to him, Why have thy servants set my field on fire?

32 Absaaloomna wuxuu Yoo'aab ugu jawaabay, Bal eeg waan kuu soo cid dirtay inaad ii timaadid, waayo, waxaan doonayay inaan boqorka kuu dirto oo aan ku idhaahdo, Bal maxaan Geshuur uga imid? Waayo, waxaa ii roonayd inaan halkaas sii joogo, haddaba sidaas daraaddeed i daa aan boqorka wejigiisa soo arkee; oo haddaan dembi leeyahayna, isagu ha i dilo.

And Absalom answered Joab, Behold, I sent to thee, saying, Come here, that I may send thee to the king to say, Why have I come from Geshur? It were better for me to still be there. Now therefore let me see the king's face, and if there be iniquity in me, let him kill me.

33 Sidaas daraaddeed Yoo'aab baa boqorkii u yimid, wuuna u sheegay, oo markuu Absaaloom u yeedhay ayuu isna boqorkii u yimid, oo intuu u sujuuday ayuu wejigiisa dhulka saaray boqorka hortiisa; oo boqorkiina Absaaloom buu dhunkaday.

So Joab came to the king, and told him. And when he had called for Absalom, he came to the king, and bowed himself on his face to the ground before the king. And the king kissed Absalom.
