Samuu'Eel Labaad 17
1 Oo weliba Axiitofel wuxuu Absaaloom ku yidhi, I daa aan laba iyo toban kun oo nin doortee oo aan caawa Daa'uud eryadee,
And Achitophel said to Abessalom, Let me now choose out for myself twelve thousand men, and I will arise and follow after David this night:
2 oo waxaan u imanayaa intuu daallan yahay oo gacmihiisu taag daranyihiin, markaasaan cabsiinayaa, oo dadka isaga la jira oo dhammuna way carari doonaan. Markaasaan dili doonaa boqorka oo keliya.
and I will come upon him when he [is] weary and weak-handed, and I will strike him with terror; and all the people with him shall flee, and I will smite the king only of all.
3 Oo dadka oo dhanna waan kuu soo celin doonaa, oo ninka aad doonaysaa waa sidii iyadoo ay dhammaan soo wada noqdeen; markaasay dadka oo dhammu nabad ku noolaan doonaan.
And I will bring back all the people to thee, as a bride returns to her husband: only thou seekest the life of one man, and all the people shall have peace.
4 Oo hadalkaasuna aad buu uga farxiyey Absaaloom iyo odayaashii reer binu Israa'iil oo dhan.
And the saying [was] right in the eyes of Abessalom, and in the eyes of all the elders of Israel.
5 Markaasaa Absaaloom wuxuu yidhi, Bal haddana iigu yeedh Xuushay kii reer Arkii, oo bal aan maqalno wuxuu isagu leeyahay.
And Abessalom said, Call now also Chusi the Arachite, and let us hear what [is] in his mouth, even in his also.
6 Markaasaa Xuushay u yimid Absaaloom, oo Absaaloomna intuu la hadlay ayuu ku yidhi, Axiitofel sidan buu ku hadlay. Haddaba siduu nagu yidhi ma yeelnaa? Haddii kale, adigu hadal.
And Chusi went in to Abessalom, and Abessalom spoke to him, saying, After this manner spoke Achitophel: shall we do according to his word? but if not, do thou speak.
7 Kolkaasaa Xuushay wuxuu Absaaloom ku yidhi, Axiitofel talada uu markan ku taliyey ma fiicna.
And Chusi said to Abessalom, This counsel which Achitophel has counselled this one time [is] not good.
8 Oo weliba Xuushay wuxuu yidhi oo kale, Waad taqaannaa aabbahaa iyo raggiisaba inay rag xoog leh yihiin, iyo in maankoodu u kulul yahay sidii orso ilmaheedii duurka laga xaday, oo aabbahaana waa nin dagaalyahan ah, oo dadkana meel la baryi maayo.
And Chusi said, Thou knowest thy father and his men, that they are very mighty, and bitter in their spirit, as a bereaved bear in the field, [and as a wild boar in the plain]: and thy father [is] a man of war, and will not give the people rest.
9 Oo bal eeg, hadda wuxuu ku dhuumanayaa bohol, ama meel kale; oo markii qaarkood la dilo marka hore, ku alla kii maqla ayaa odhan doona, Ciidammadii Absaaloom raacay waa la laayay.
For, behold, he is now hidden in one of the hills or in some [other] place: and it shall come to pass when he falls upon them at the beginning, that [some one] will certainly hear, and say, There has been a slaughter among the people that follow after Abessalom.
10 Oo xataa kan xoog badan, ee qalbigiisu yahay sida qalbiga libaaxa, wuu dhalaali doonaa dhammaantiis; waayo, reer binu Israa'iil oo dhammu way og yihiin in aabbahaa yahay nin xoog badan, iyo in kuwa isaga la jira ay yihiin rag daran.
Then even he [that is] strong, whose heart is as the heart of a lion, —it shall utterly melt: for all Israel knows that thy father [is] mighty, and they that are with him [are] mighty men.
11 Laakiinse anigu waxaan ku talinayaa in reer binu Israa'iil oo dhammu adiga kuu soo shiraan oo ay ka yimaadaan tan iyo Daan iyo ilaa Bi'ir Shebac, oo ay u soo bataan sida cammuudda badda agteeda taal; oo aad adiga qudhaadu dagaalka gashid.
For thus I have surely given counsel, that all Israel be generally gathered to thee from Dan even to Bersabee, as the sand that is upon the sea-shore for multitude: and that thy presence go in the midst of them.
12 Sidaasaynu isaga ugu iman doonnaa meesha laga helo, oo waxaynu ugu soo degi doonnaa sida dharabku dhulka ugu soo dego oo kale; oo isaga iyo dadka la socda oo dhanba xataa mid qudha ka reebi mayno.
And we will come upon him in one of the places where we shall find him, and we will encamp against him, as the dew falls upon the earth; and we will not leave of him and of his men so much as one.
13 Oo weliba hadduu magaalo galo, markaasay reer binu Israa'iil oo dhammu xadhko soo qaadan doonaan, oo waxaynu magaalada u jiidaynaa xagga webiga oo waan ku ridaynaa, ilaa halkaas laga waayo xataa dhagax yar.
And if he shall have taken refuge with his army in a city, then shall all Israel take ropes to that city, and we will draw it even into the river, that there may not be left there even a stone.
14 Markaasaa Absaaloom iyo raggii reer binu Israa'iil oo dhammu waxay yidhaahdeen, Xuushay kii reer Arkii taladiisu way ka wanaagsan tahay taladii Axiitofel. Waayo, Rabbigu wuxuu ka dhigay in laga adkaado taladii wanaagsanayd oo Axiitofel, si Rabbigu Absaaloom shar ugu soo dejiyo.
And Abessalom, and all the men of Israel said, The counsel of Chusi the Arachite [is] better than the counsel of Achitophel. For the Lord ordained to disconcert the good counsel of Achitophel, that the Lord might bring all evil upon Abessalom.
15 Markaasaa Xuushay wuxuu ku yidhi wadaaddadii ahaa Saadooq iyo Aabyaataar, Axiitofel saas iyo saas buu ula taliyey Absaaloom iyo odayaashii reer binu Israa'iil, oo anna saas iyo saas baan ula taliyey.
And Chusi the Arachite said to Sadoc and Abiathar the priests, Thus and thus Achitophel counselled Abessalom and the elders of Israel; and thus and thus have I counselled.
16 Sidaas daraaddeed haddiiba u cid dira, oo Daa'uud u war geeya, oo waxaad ku tidhaahdaan, Caawa ha ku baryin meelaha loogu gudbo cidlada, laakiinse si alla si aad yeeshaba ka gudub; yaan adiga iyo dadka kula socda oo dhanba la wada liqine, boqorow.
And now send quickly and report to David, saying, Lodge not this night in Araboth of the wilderness: even go and make haste, lest [one] swallow up the king, and all the people with him.
17 Haddaba Yoonaataan iyo Axiimacas ma ay karin inay magaalada bayaan u soo galaan, sidaas daraaddeed waxay joogeen Ceyn Rogeel, oo gabadh addoon ah ayaa intay u tagtay wax u sheegtay; oo iyana intay tageen ayay boqor Daa'uud u soo warrameen.
And Jonathan and Achimaas stood by the well of Rogel, and a maid-servant went and reported to them, and they go and tell king David; for they might not be seen to enter into the city.
18 Laakiinse wiil baa arkay iyagii, oo wuxuu u soo sheegay Absaaloom, oo iyana labadoodiiba haddiiba way carareen, oo waxay yimaadeen nin Baxuuriim deggan gurigiis oo barxadda ceel ku leh; oo iyana halkaasay ku dhaadhaceen.
But a young man saw them and told Abessalom: and the two went quickly, and entered into the house of a man in Baurim; and he had a well in his court, and they went down into it.
19 Oo naagtiina ceelka afkiisii bay wax ku gogoshay, oo waxay ku dul firdhisay hadhuudh la tumay; oo waxbana lagama ogaan.
And a woman took a covering, and spread it over the mouth of the well, and spread out ground corn upon it to dry, and the thing was not known.
20 Oo addoommadii Absaaloom naagtii bay gurigii ugu yimaadeen; oo waxay ku yidhaahdeen, Awaye Axiimacas iyo Yoonaataan? Markaasaa naagtii waxay ku tidhi, War waxay ka gudbeen togga biyaha. Oo iyana markay doondooneen oo ay heli waayeen ayay ku noqdeen Yeruusaalem.
And the servants of Abessalom came to the woman into the house, and said, Where [are] Achimaas and Jonathan? and the woman said to them, They are gone a little way beyond the water. And they sought and found them not, and returned to Jerusalem.
21 Oo markay tageen dabadeed ayay ceelkii ka soo baxeen, oo ay tageen, oo ay Boqor Daa'uud u soo warrameen; oo waxay Daa'uud ku yidhaahdeen, War ka kaca, oo haddiiba biyaha gudba, waayo, Axiitofel sidaasuu talo kaa gees ah ugu taliyey.
And it came to pass after they were gone, that they came up out of the pit, and went on their way; and reported to king David, and said to David, Arise ye and go quickly over the water, for thus has Achitophel counselled concerning you.
22 Markaasaa Daa'uud iyo dadkii isaga la jiray oo dhammu kaceen, oo waxay ka gudbeen Webi Urdun; oo markii waagii baryay ma jirin mid iyagii ah oo aan Webi Urdun ka gudbin.
And David rose up and all the people with him, and they passed over Jordan till the morning light; there was not one missing who did not pass over Jordan.
23 Oo Axiitofelna markuu arkay inaan taladiisii la raacin ayuu dameerkii kooraystay, oo magaaladiisuu tegey, oo intuu reerkiisii la dardaarmay, ayuu isdeldelay; wuuna dhintay, oo waxaa lagu aasay qabrigii aabbihiis.
And Achitophel saw that his counsel was not followed, and he saddled his ass, and rose and departed to his house into his city; and he gave orders to his household, and hanged himself, and died, and was buried in the sepulchre of his father.
24 Oo Daa'uudna wuxuu yimid Maxanayim. Absaaloomna wuxuu ka soo gudbay Webi Urdun, isagoo wata raggii reer binu Israa'iil oo dhan.
And David passed over to Manaim: and Abessalom crossed over Jordan, he and all the men of Israel with him.
25 Oo Absaaloomna wuxuu ciidankii madax uga dhigay Camaasaa, oo Yoo'aab wuu ka beddelay. Haddaba Camaasaa waxaa dhalay nin reer binu Israa'iil ah oo magiciisa la odhan jiray Yitraa, oo wuxuu qabay Abiigayil oo ay Naaxaash dhashay, oo waxay la dhalatay Seruuyaah oo ahayd Yoo'aab hooyadiis.
And Abessalom appointed Amessai in the room of Joab over the host. And Amessai was the son of a man whose name was Jether of Jezrael: he went in to Abigaia the daughter of Naas, the sister of Saruia the mother of Joab.
26 Markaasaa Absaaloom iyo reer binu Israa'iil waxay soo degeen dalkii Gilecaad.
And all Israel and Abessalom encamped in the land of Galaad.
27 Markii Daa'uud yimid Maxanayim waxaa u yimid Shobii oo ahaa ina Naaxaash ee ahaa reer Cammoonkii degganaa Rabbaah, iyo Maakiir oo ahaa ina Cammii'eel ee ahaa reer Loo Debaar, iyo Barsillay oo ahaa reer Gilecaadkii degganaa Rogeliim,
And it came to pass when David came to Manaim, that Uesbi the son of Naas of Rabbath of the sons of Ammon, and Machir son of Amiel of Lodabar, and Berzelli the Galaadite of Rogellim,
28 oo waxay u keeneen gogol, iyo fijaanno, iyo weelal dhoobo ah, iyo sarreen, iyo shaciir, iyo bur, iyo salool, iyo atar, iyo misir, iyo digir,
brought ten embroidered beds, (with double coverings, ) and ten caldrons, and earthenware, and wheat, and barley, and flour, and meal, and beans, and pulse,
29 iyo malab, iyo subag, iyo ido, iyo faar lo'aad, oo waxay waxaas oo dhan u keeneen Daa'uud iyo dadkii la socday inay cunaan, waayo, waxay isyidhaahdeen, Dadku cidladay ku gaajoodeen, oo ku daaleen, oo ku harraadeen.
and honey, and butter, and sheep, and cheeses of kine: and they brought them to David and to his people with him to eat; for [one] said, The people [is] faint and hungry and thirsty in the wilderness.
