Samuu'Eel Labaad 15

1 Oo taas dabadeedna Absaaloom ayaa diyaarsaday gaadhifardood iyo fardo, iyo konton nin oo hortiisa orodda.

And it came to pass, after this, that Absolom prepared him chariots and horses, —and fifty men, to run before him.

2 Markaasaa Absaaloom aroortii kacay, oo ag istaagay jidkii iridda, oo markuu nin dacwo qaba boqorka xukun ugu imanayo ayuu Absaaloom u yeedhi jiray, oo wuxuu ku odhan jiray, Magaaladee baad ka timid? Oo isna wuxuu odhan jiray, Anoo addoonkaaga ah waxaan ka mid ahay qabiilooyinka reer binu Israa'iil midkood.

And Absolom used to rise up early, and take his stand beside the way of the gate, —and so it was—when any man who had a controversy would come unto the king for judgment, then Absalom called unto him, and said: Of what city, art, thou? And he said, Of one of the tribes of Israel, is thy servant. And Absolom said unto him,

3 Markaasaa Absaaloom wuxuu ku odhan jiray, Xaalalkaagu waa wanaagsan yihiin, waana qumman yihiin; laakiinse nin boqorku amray oo ku maqlayaa ma jiro.

See! thy cause, is good and right, —but, to hear it, thou hast no one, from the king.

4 Oo Absaaloom wuxuu kaloo yidhi, Way, bal maa aniga dalka xaakin la iiga dhigo, si nin alla ninkii dacwo ama muraad lihi iigu yimaado oo aan caddaalad ugu xukumo!

And Absalom said, Oh would that I were appointed to judge in the land! that, unto me, might come every man having a complaint or a defence, then would I see him righted.

5 Oo waxay ahaatay in ninkii inuu sujuudo ugu soo dhowaadaba, uu Absaaloom intuu gacanta soo fidiyo oo qabto dhunkan jiray.

Moreover, so it used to be, that, when any man came near to do him homage, he would put forth his hand, and lay hold of him, and kiss him.

6 Oo reer binu Israa'iil kii boqorka xukun ugu yimid oo dhan Absaaloom sidaasuu ku samayn jiray dhammaantood; oo sidaasuu Absaaloom qalbiga uga xaday dadkii reer binu Israa'iil.

And Absolom did, after this manner, to all Israel who came for judgment, unto the king, —so Absolom stole away the heart of the men of Israel.

7 Oo markay afartan sannadood dhammaadeen ayaa Absaaloom boqorkii ku yidhi, Waan ku baryayaaye, i sii daa aan Xebroon tagee, waayo, waxaan doonayaa inaan halkaas ku bixiyo nidar aan Rabbiga u galay.

And it came to pass, at the end of forty years, that Absolom said unto the king—Let me go, I pray thee, that I may pay my vow which I have vowed unto Yahweh, in Hebron;

8 Waayo, anoo addoonkaaga ah nidar baan galay intii aan joogay Geshuur oo ku taal Suuriya, oo waxaan idhi, Haddii Rabbigu Yeruusaalem mar kale igu celiyo, markaasaan Rabbiga allabari u bixin doonaa.

for thy servant vowed, a vow, while I abode in Geshur in Syria, saying, —If Yahweh, will but bring me back, unto Jerusalem, then will I serve Yahweh,

9 Boqorkiina wuxuu ku yidhi, Nabad ku tag. Kolkaasuu kacay oo tegey Xebroon.

And the king said unto him—Go and prosper! So he arose and went to Hebron.

10 Laakiinse Absaaloom jaajusiin buu u diray qabiilooyinkii reer binu Israa'iil oo dhan, oo wuxuu ku yidhi, Markaad buunka dhawaaqiisa maqashaan, waxaad tidhaahdaan, Absaaloom waa ku boqramay Xebroon.

And Absolom sent spies throughout all the tribes of Israel, saying, —When ye hear the sound of the horn, then shall ye say, Absolom hath become king in Hebron!

11 Oo Absaaloomna Yeruusaalem waxaa ka raacay laba boqol oo nin, oo la marti qaaday, oo waxay tageen iyagoo xog la', oo aan waxba ogayn.

And, with Absolom, went two hundred men, out of Jerusalem, who, having been bidden, were going in their simplicity, —neither knew they anything.

12 Oo Absaaloomna wuxuu magaaladii Giloh ahayd ugu cid dirsaday Axiitofel kii reer Giloh, oo ahaa Daa'uud taliyihiisa, intuu allabarigii bixinayay. Oo sirqoolkiina aad buu u xoog badnaa; waayo, dadkii Absaaloom la jiray way soo kordhayeen had iyo goorba.

And Absalom sent and called Ahithophel the Gilonite, David’s counsellor, out of his city, out of Gilo, when he was offering sacrifices, —and so it was that the conspiracy was strong, and, the people, went on multiplying with Absolom.

13 Oo markaasaa Daa'uud waxaa u yimid wargeeye; isagoo leh, Dadkii reer binu Israa'iil qalbigoodii wuxuu raacay Absaaloom.

Then came one bearing tidings unto David, saying, —It hath come about, that the heart of the men of Israel goeth after Absolom.

14 Daa'uudna wuxuu addoommadiisii Yeruusaalem la joogay oo dhan ku yidhi, War ina kiciya aynu cararnee; haddii kalese midkeenna Absaaloom ka baxsan maayo; haddaba dhaqsada oo baxa, waaba intaasoo uu haddiiba ina soo qabtaaye, oo belaayo inagu ridaaye, oo uu magaaladana seef ku laayaaye!

Then said David, to all his servants who were with him in Jerusalem—Arise and let us flee, or we shall have no way of escape from the face of Absolom, —make speed to depart, lest he make speed, and so overtake us, and bring down misfortune upon us, and smite the city with the edge of the sword.

15 Markaasaa boqorka addoommadiisii boqorkii ku yidhaahdeen, Bal eeg, annagoo ah addoommadaadu diyaar baannu u nahay inaannu samayno wax kasta oo aad doorato, boqorow, sayidkayagiiyow.

And the king’s servants said unto the king, —According to all that my lord the king shall choose, here are thy servants.

16 Markaasaa boqorkii baxay, isagoo reerkiisii oo dhammu daba socdaan. Oo boqorkii toban naagood oo addoommo ahaa ayuu uga tegey inay gurigii dhawraan.

So the king went forth, with all his household attending him, —but the king left ten women who were concubines, to keep the house.

17 Boqorkiina wuu baxay, oo dadkii oo dhammuna isagay daba socdeen; oo meel fog bay joogsadeen.

Thus then the king went forth, with all the people attending him, —and they came to a stand at a place that was far off.

18 Oo addoommadiisii oo dhammuna way dhinac mareen, iyaga iyo reer Kereetiim oo dhan, iyo reer Feleetii oo dhan, iyo reer Gad oo dhan, kuwaasoo ahaa lix boqol oo nin oo Gad ka soo raacday, dhammaantood boqorkii way hor mareen.

And, all his servants, were passing on beside him, and all the Cherethites, and all the Pelethites, —and, all the Gittites—six hundred men, who had accompanied him from Gath, —were passing on before the king.

19 Markaasaa boqorkii wuxuu ku yidhi Itay oo ahaa reer Gad, War adiguna maxaad noola socotaa? Noqo, oo boqorka la joog; waayo, adigu waxaad tahay qariib, iyo weliba mid waddankiisii laga soo masaafuriyey.

Then said the king, unto Ittai the Gittite, Wherefore shouldest, thou also, go with us? return and abide with the king, for, a stranger, art thou, moreover also, an exile, art thou from thine own country.

20 Waxaad timid shalayto, haddaba sidee baan maanta noola kaa warwareejiyaa? Maxaa yeelay, anigu waxaan tegayaa meel alla meeshaan doonayoba, haddaba naga noqo, oo walaalahaana dib u celi; oo naxariis iyo runuba ha kula jireen.

Only yesterday, camest thou, and, today, shall I let thee wander with us, on our journey, seeing that, I, am going, whithersoever I may? Return and take back thy brethren with thee, and may Yahweh deal with thee in lovingkindness and faithfulness.

21 Markaasaa Itay wuxuu boqorkii ugu jawaabay, Waxaan ku dhaartay Rabbiga noloshiisa, iyo noloshaada, boqorow, sayidkaygiiyow, sida runtaa meel alla meeshii aad joogtid, ama aan noolaado ama aan dhintee, anoo addoonkaaga ahuna halkaasaan joogayaa.

But Ittai answered the king, and said, —By the life of Yahweh, and by the life of my lord the king, surely, in whatsoever place, my lord the king, may be, whether for death or for life, there will, thy servant, be.

22 Kolkaasaa Daa'uud wuxuu Itay ku yidhi, Haddaba tag oo gudub. Markaasaa Itay kii reer Gadna gudbay, isagii iyo raggiisii oo dhan, iyo yaryarkii la socday oo dhan.

Then said David unto Ittai—Go, and pass on. So Ittai the Gittite passed on, with all his men, and all the little ones that were with him.

23 Oo waddankii oo dhanna waxaa lagaga ooyay cod weyn, oo dadkii oo dhammuna webigii way ka gudbeen; oo boqorka qudhiisii wuu ka gudbay toggii Qidroon, oo dadkii oo dhammuna waxay u gudbeen xagga cidlada.

And, fall the land, was weeping, with a loud voice, and, all the people, were passing on, —the king also, was passing on, through the torrent-bed of Kidron, and all the people were passing on over the face of the way leading to the wilderness.

24 Oo bal eeg, Saadooqna waa yimid, isagoo ay la socdaan reer Laawi oo dhan, oo sida sanduuqii axdiga Ilaah, markaasay sanduuqii Ilaah dhigeen, oo Aabyaataarna kor buu tegey, ilaa dadkii oo dhammu ay magaaladii ka soo gudbeen.

And lo! Zadok also, and all the Levites with him, were bearing the ark of the covenant of God, and they set down the ark of God, and Abiathar went up, until all the people had made an end of passing over out of the city.

25 Markaasaa boqorkii wuxuu Saadooq ku yidhi, Sanduuqa Ilaah qaad oo magaaladii ku celi. Hadduu Rabbigu raalli iga yahay, mar kaluu i soo celin doonaa, oo wuu i tusi doonaa isaga iyo rugta Ilaahba.

Then said the king unto Zadok, Take back the ark of God into the city, —if I find favour in the eyes of Yahweh, then will he bring me back, and let me see both him and his habitation,

26 Laakiinse hadduu igu yidhaahdo, Kuguma faraxsani; bal eeg, haddaba waa i kane, ha igu sameeyo sidii isaga la wanaagsan.

but, if thus, he say, I have no delight in thee, here I am, let him do unto me as may be good in his eyes.

27 Oo haddana boqorkii wuxuu wadaadkii Saadooq ahaa ku yidhi, Sow adigu wax arke ma tihid? Haddaba magaaladii ku nabad noqda, idinka iyo labadiinna wiil ee idinla jirta, kuwaas oo ah wiilkaaga Axiimacas iyo Yoonaataan oo ah ina Aabyaataar.

And the king said, unto Zadok the priest, Art thou not, a seer? return into the city, in peace, —and Ahimaaz thine own son, and Jonathan son of Abiathar—your two sons, with you.

28 Oo anna waxaan sii joogayaa meesha mareenka ah ee cidlada loogu sii gudbo, jeeruu war iiga kiin yimaado.

See! I, am tarrying in the waste plains of the wilderness—until there come word from you, to tell me.

29 Sidaas daraaddeed Saadooq iyo Aabyaataar sanduuqii Ilaah bay qaadeen, waxayna mar kale ku celiyeen Yeruusaalem, oo iyana halkaasay iska sii joogeen.

So Zadok and Abiathar took back the ark of God to Jerusalem, —and abode there.

30 Oo Daa'uudna wuxuu fuulay jiirtii Buur Saytuun oo intuu sii socdayna wuu ooyayay, isagoo hagoogan, oo caga cad, oo dadkii la jiray oo dhammuna midkood waluba wuu hagoogtay, oo kor bay tageen, iyagoo ooyaya intay kor u sii socdeen.

Now, David, was going up by the ascent of Olivet, weeping as he went up, with his head covered, himself, passing on barefoot, —and all the people who were with him, covered every man his head, and went up, weeping as they went.

31 Oo Daa'uud waxaa loo soo sheegay inuu Axiitofelna Absaaloom kula jiro shirqoolkii. Markaasaa Daa'uud wuxuu yidhi, Rabbiyow, waan ku baryayaaye, Axiitofel taladiisa nacasnimo u beddel.

And, unto David, it was told, saying, Ahithophel, is among the conspirators with Absolom. And David said, Turn to foolishness, I pray thee, the counsel of Ahithophel, O Yahweh.

32 Oo markii Daa'uud yimid jiirta dusheedii, meeshii Ilaah lagu caabudi jiray, waxaa u yimid Xuushay kii reer Arkii oo jubbaddiisii jeexjeexay, oo madaxana ciid ku shubtay.

And it came to pass, when David reached the summit, where he bowed himself down unto God, that lo! there met him, Hushai the Archite, his tunic rent, and earth upon his head.

33 Markaasaa Daa'uud ku yidhi, Haddaad i raacdo oo aad ila gudubto, culays baad igu noqonaysaa;

And David said unto him, —If thou pass over with me, then shalt thou become unto me, a burden;

34 laakiinse haddaad magaaladii ku noqotid, oo aad Absaaloom ku tidhaahdid, Boqorow, addoonkaagii baan noqonayaa; oo sidaan hore aabbahaa addoonka ugu ahaan jiray, ayaan haddana adiga addoon kuugu ahaanayaa; markaas waxaad iiga adkaanaysaa talada Axiitofel.

but, if, to the city, thou return, then canst thou say unto Absolom—Thy servant, I, O king, will be, as, the servant of thy father, I was formerly, so will I, now, be thy servant: thus shalt thou frustrate for me the counsel of Ahithophel.

35 Oo halkaasna sow kulama joogaan wadaaddadii ahaa Saadooq iyo Aabyaataar? Sidaas daraaddeed wax alla wixii aad guriga boqorka ka maqashoba, waxaad u soo sheegtaa wadaaddadii ahaa Saadooq iyo Aabyaataar.

And hast thou not, with thee, there Zadok and Abiathar the priests? so then it shall be, that, what thing soever thou shalt hear out of the house of the king, thou shalt tell to Zadok and to Abiathar, the priests.

36 Oo iyana waxay halkaas ku haystaan labadoodii wiil oo ahaa Axiimacas ina Saadooq, iyo Yoonaataan ina Aabyaataar; oo iyaga waxaad iigu soo dhiibtaan wax alla wixii aad maqashaanba.

Lo! they have there with them, their two sons, Ahimaaz for Zadok, and Jonathan for Abiathar, —so shall ye send, by their hand, unto me, everything which ye shall hear.

37 Sidaas daraaddeed Xuushay oo ahaa Daa'uud saaxiibkiis magaaladii buu soo galay; oo Absaaloomna Yeruusaalem buu soo galay.

So Hushai, David’s friend, went into the city, —when, Absolom, was about to enter Jerusalem.
