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,
Then Ahithophel said to Absalom, “Now let me choose twelve thousand men, and I will arise and pursue David tonight.
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.
I will come on him while he is weary and weak and will surprise him with fear. The people who are with him will flee, and I will attack only the king.
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.
I will bring back all the people to you, like a bride coming to her husband, and all the people will be at peace under you.”
4 Oo hadalkaasuna aad buu uga farxiyey Absaaloom iyo odayaashii reer binu Israa'iil oo dhan.
What Ahithophel said pleased Absalom and 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.
Then Absalom said, “Now call Hushai the Arkite, too, and let us hear what he says.”
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.
When Hushai had come to Absalom, Absalom explained to him what Ahithophel had said and then asked Hushai, “Should we do what Ahithophel has said? If not, tell us what you advise.”
7 Kolkaasaa Xuushay wuxuu Absaaloom ku yidhi, Axiitofel talada uu markan ku taliyey ma fiicna.
So Hushai said to Absalom, “The advice that Ahithophel has given this 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.
Hushai added, “You know your father and his men are strong warriors, and that they are bitter, and they are like a bear robbed of her cubs in a field. Your father is a man of war; he will not sleep with the army tonight.
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.
Look, right now he is probably hidden in some pit or in some other place. It will happen that when some of your men have been killed at the beginning of an attack, that whoever hears it will say, 'A slaughter has taken place among the soldiers who follow Absalom.'
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 the bravest soldiers, whose hearts are like the heart of a lion, will be afraid because all Israel knows that your father is a mighty man, and that the men who are with him are very strong.
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.
So I advise you that all Israel should be gathered together to you, from Dan to Beersheba, as numerous as the sands that are by the sea, and that you go to battle in person.
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.
Then we will come on him wherever he may be found, and we will cover him as the dew falls on the ground. We will not leave even one of his men, or him himself, alive.
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.
If he retreats into a city, then all Israel will bring ropes to that city and we will drag it into the river, until there is no longer even a small stone found there.”
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.
Then Absalom and the men of Israel said, “Hushai the Arkite's advice is better than Ahithophel's.” Yahweh had ordained the rejection of Ahithophel's good advice in order to bring destruction on Absalom.
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.
Then Hushai said to Zadok and to Abiathar the priests, “Ahithophel advised Absalom and the elders of Israel in such and such a way, but I have advised something else.
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.
Now then, go quickly and report to David; say to him, 'Do not camp tonight at the fords of the Arabah, but by all means cross over, or the king will be swallowed up along with all the people who are 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.
Now Jonathan and Ahimaaz were staying at the spring of Rogel. A female servant used to go and inform them what they needed to know, for they could not risk being seen going into the city. When the message came, then they were to go and tell King David.
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 this time and told Absalom. So Jonathan and Ahimaaz went away quickly and came to the house of a man in Bahurim, who had a well in his courtyard, into which they descended.
19 Oo naagtiina ceelka afkiisii bay wax ku gogoshay, oo waxay ku dul firdhisay hadhuudh la tumay; oo waxbana lagama ogaan.
The man's wife took the covering for the well and spread it over the well's opening, and tossed grain over it, so no one knew Jonathan and Ahimaaz were in the well.
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.
Absalom's men came to the woman of the house and said, “Where are Ahimaaz and Jonathan?” The woman told them, “They have crossed over the river.” So after they had looked around and could not find them, they 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.
It came about after they had left that Jonathan and Ahimaaz came up out of the well. They went to report to King David; they said to him, “Get up and cross quickly over the water because Ahithophel has given such and such advice about 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.
Then David arose and all the people who were with him, and they crossed over the Jordan. By morning daylight not one of them had failed to cross over the 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.
When Ahithophel saw that his advice had not been followed, he saddled his donkey and left. He went home to his own city, set his affairs in order, and hanged himself. In this way he died and was buried in the tomb 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.
Then David came to Mahanaim. As for Absalom, he crossed over the 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.
Absalom had set Amasa over the army instead of Joab. Amasa was the son of Jether the Ishmaelite, who had slept with Abigail, who was the daughter of Nahash and sister of Zeruiah, the mother of Joab.
26 Markaasaa Absaaloom iyo reer binu Israa'iil waxay soo degeen dalkii Gilecaad.
Then Israel and Absalom camped in the land of Gilead.
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,
It came about when David had come to Mahanaim, that Shobi son of Nahash from Rabbah of the Ammonites, and Machir son of Ammiel from Lo Debar, and Barzillai the Gileadite from Rogelim,
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 sleeping mats and blankets, bowls and pots, and wheat, barley flour, roasted grain, beans, lentils,
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.
honey, butter, sheep, and milk curds, so that David and the people with him could eat. These men had said, “The people are hungry, weary, and thirsty in the wilderness.”
