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 thence a wise woman, and said unto her, I pray thee, feign thyself to be a mourner, and put on mourning apparel, I pray thee, and anoint not thyself with oil, but be as a woman that had 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 unto 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 spake 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 unto her, What aileth thee? And she answered; Of a truth I am a widow woman, and mine 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 thine handmaid, and they said, Deliver him that smote his brother, that we may kill him for the life of his brother whom he slew, and so destroy the heir also: thus shall they quench my coal which is left, and shall 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 unto the woman, Go to thine 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 unto 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, Whosoever saith aught unto 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 said she, I pray thee, let the king remember the LORD thy God, that the avenger of blood destroy not any more, lest they destroy my son. And he said, As the LORD liveth, there shalt 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 thine handmaid, I pray thee, speak a word unto 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, Wherefore then hast thou devised such a thing against the people of God? for in speaking this word the king is as one which is guilty, in that the king doth 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 needs die, and are as water spilt on the ground, which cannot be gathered up again; neither doth God take away life, but deviseth means, that he that 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 am come to speak this word unto my lord the king, it is because the people have made me afraid: and thy handmaid said, I will now speak unto 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 that 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 thine handmaid said, Let, I pray thee, the word of my lord the king be comfortable: for as an angel of God, so is my lord the king to discern good and bad: and the LORD 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 unto the woman, Hide not from me, I pray thee, aught 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 liveth, my lord the king, none can turn to the right hand or to the left from aught that my lord the king hath spoken: for thy servant Joab, he bade me, and he put all these words in the mouth of thine 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.

to change the face of the matter hath thy servant Joab done this thing: and my lord is wise, according to the wisdom of an angel of God, to know all things that are in 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 unto Joab, Behold now, I have done this thing: go therefore, bring the young man Absalom again.

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: end Joab said, Today thy servant knoweth that I have found grace in thy sight, my lord, O king, in that the king hath 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 saw not 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 polled his head, (now it was at every year’s end that he polled it: because [the hair] was heavy on him, therefore he polled 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 unto 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 saw not 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 unto his servants, See, Joab’s field is near mine, and he hath 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 unto his house, and said unto him, Wherefore 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 unto thee, saying, Come hither, that I may send thee to the king, to say, Wherefore am I come from Geshur? it were better for me to be there still: 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.
