Samuu'Eel Labaad 18
1 Markaasaa Daa'uud wuxuu tiriyey dadkii isaga la jiray, oo wuxuu u yeelay saraakiil kun kun u taliya iyo saraakiil boqol boqol u taliya.
And so David, having reviewed his people, appointed over them tribunes and centurions.
2 Markaasaa Daa'uud dadkii diray, oo wuxuu u qaybiyey saddex meelood, kolkaasuu meel wuxuu u dhiibay Yoo'aab, meelna wuxuu u dhiibay Abiishay oo ay Seruuyaah dhashay ee ahaa Yoo'aab walaalkiis, oo meeshii kalena wuxuu u dhiibay Itay kii reer Gad. Markaasaa boqorkii wuxuu dadkii ku yidhi, Sida xaqiiqada ah aniga qudhayduna waan idin raacayaa.
And he placed a third part of the people under the hand of Joab, and a third part under the hand of Abishai, the son of Zeruiah, the brother of Joab, and a third part under the hand of Ittai, who was from Gath. And the king said to the people, “I, too, will go forth with you.”
3 Laakiinse dadkii waxay yidhaahdeen, Waa inaanad bixin, waayo, annagu haddaannu cararno dan nagama ay lahaan doonaan; oo xataa haddii nuskayo dhintona dan nagama ay lahaan doonaan; laakiinse adigu waad ka qiimo weyn tahay toban kun oo naga mid ah; sidaas daraaddeed haatan waxaa wanaagsan inaad adoo diyaar ah iska joogtid oo aad xagga magaalada naga caawidid.
And the people responded: “You shall not go out. For if we flee, there will not be great concern in them for us. Or if one half part of us will fall, they will not care much. For you are considered as one for ten thousand. Therefore, it is better that you should be in the city to strengthen us.”
4 Boqorkiina wuxuu iyagii ku yidhi, Wax alla wixii idinla wanaagsan ayaan samaynayaa. Kolkaasaa boqorkii wuxuu istaagay iridda dhinaceeda, oo dadkii oo dhammuna dibadday u baxeen iyagoo ah boqol boqol iyo kun kun.
And the king said to them, “I will do whatever seems good to you.” Therefore, the king stood beside the gate. And the people went out by their troops, by hundreds and by thousands.
5 Markaasaa boqorkii wuxuu amray Yoo'aab iyo Abiishay iyo Itay, oo ku yidhi, Ninka dhallinyarada oo ah Absaaloom aniga aawaday ugu naxariista. Oo dadka oo dhammuna way maqleen markii boqorku saraakiisha oo dhan ku amray wax Absaaloom ku saabsan.
And the king ordered Joab and Abishai and Ittai, saying, “Preserve for me the boy Absalom.” And all the people heard the king commanding all the leaders on behalf of Absalom.
6 Saas daraaddeed dadkii dibadday u baxeen oo waxay reer binu Israa'iil kaga hor tageen duurka, oo dagaalkiina wuxuu ka dhacay kayntii reer Efrayim.
And so, the people departed into the field against Israel. And the battle took place in the forest of Ephraim.
7 Oo dadkii reer binu Israa'iilna waxaa meeshaas ku laayay addoommadii Daa'uud, oo maalintaas waxaa la laayay dad badan, oo waxaa ka dhintay labaatan kun oo nin.
And the people of Israel were cut down in that place by the army of David. And a great slaughter occurred on that day: twenty thousand men.
8 Oo dagaalkiina wuxuu ku faafay waddankii oo dhan, oo maalintaas waxaa kayntii cuntay dad ka sii badan intii seeftu cuntay.
Now the battle in that place was dispersed over the face of all the land. And there were many more of the people whom the forest had consumed, than the sword had devoured, on that day.
9 Absaaloomna si kedis ah ayuu uga hor yimid addoommadii Daa'uud. Absaaloomna baqashiisii ayuu fuushanaa, oo baqashiisii waxay hoos martay geed weyn laamihiis, kolkaasaa geedkii madaxiisii qabsaday, oo wuxuu ka lalmaday meel cirka iyo dhulka u dhaxaysa; oo baqashii ku hoos jirtayna way iska socotay.
Then it happened that Absalom, riding on a mule, met the servants of David. And when the mule had entered under a thick and large oak tree, his head became trapped in the oak. And while he was suspended between heaven and earth, the mule on which he had been sitting continued on.
10 Markaasaa nin arkay, oo Yoo'aab u soo sheegay, oo wuxuu ku yidhi, War, waxaan soo arkay Absaaloom oo geed ka lalmada.
Then a certain one saw this and reported it to Joab, saying, “I saw Absalom hanging from an oak.”
11 Yoo'aabna wuxuu ninkii u soo warramay ku yidhi, Oo haddaad aragtay maxaad isaga halkaas ugu dili weyday? Oo anna waxaan ku siin lahaa toban gogo' oo lacag ah iyo dhex-xidh.
And Joab said to the man who had reported it to him, “If you saw him, why did you not stab him to the ground, and I would have given you ten shekels of silver and a belt?”
12 Markaasaa ninkii Yoo'aab ku yidhi, In kastoo aan heli lahaa kun gogo' oo lacag ah, weliba ma aanan yeeleen inaan gacantayda wiilka boqorka u qaado, waayo, annagoo maqlayna ayaa boqorku idinku amray, adiga iyo Abiishay iyo Itay, oo idinku yidhi, Iska jira oo yaan ninna taaban ninka dhallinyarada ah ee Absaaloom ah.
And he said to Joab: “Even if you weighed out to my hands one thousand silver coins, I would never lay my hands on the son of the king. For in our hearing the king ordered you and Abishai and Ittai, saying, ‘Keep for me the boy Absalom.’
13 Ama haddaan saas samayn lahaa naftaydaan been kula macaamiloon lahaa, waayo, boqorka waxba kama qarsoona, adiga qudhaaduna waad igu kici lahayd.
Then too, if I had acted with such audacity, against my own life, this would never have been able to be hidden from the king. And would you then have stood by my side?”
14 Yoo'aabna wuxuu yidhi, Anigu saas kugula sii joogi maayo. Markaasuu qaatay saddex gantaal, oo Absaaloom wadnaha juq ka siiyey, isagoo weli nool oo geedkii ku dhex jira.
And Joab said, “It will not be as you wish. Instead, I will be assailing him in your sight.” Then he took three lances in his hand, and he fixed them in the heart of Absalom. And while he was still clinging to life upon the oak,
15 Kolkaasaa waxaa Absaaloom hareereeyey toban nin oo dhallinyaro ahaa oo Yoo'aab hub u siday, oo intay dileen ayay gowraceen.
ten young men, armor bearers of Joab, ran up, and striking him, they killed him.
16 Markaasaa Yoo'aab buunkii afuufay, oo dadkiina waxay ka soo noqdeen eryadkii ay reer binu Israa'iil eryanayeen, waayo, Yoo'aab baa u diiday.
Then Joab sounded the trumpet, and he held back the people, lest they pursue Israel in their flight, for he was willing to spare the multitude.
17 Oo Absaaloom bay qaadeen oo ku tuureen yamays dheer oo kaynta ku dhex yiil, oo waxay dusha kaga tuuleen dhagaxyo faro badan, oo reer binu Israa'iilna dhammaantood mid waluba teendhadiisii buu ku cararay.
And they took Absalom, and they threw him into a great pit in the forest. And they piled an exceedingly great heap of stones over him. But all of Israel fled to their own tents.
18 Oo Absaaloomna intuu noolaa ayuu yidhi, Wiil magacayga lagu soo xusuusto ma aan lihi. Sidaas daraaddeed wuxuu qaaday tiir oo dhex qotomiyey dooxadii boqorka; oo tiirkiina wuxuu ku magacaabay magiciisii, oo ilaa maantadan la joogo waxaa lagu magacaabaa taalladii Absaaloom.
Now Absalom had raised up for himself, when he was still alive, a monument, which is in the Valley of the King. For he said, “I have no son, and so this shall be the memorial to my name.” And he called the monument by his own name. And it is called the Hand of Absalom, even to this day.
19 Markaasaa Axiimacas oo ahaa ina Saadooq yidhi, Haddaba i daaya aan ordee, oo aan boqorkii u soo warramee, sida Rabbigu uga aarguday cadaawayaashiisii.
Then Ahimaaz, the son of Zadok, said, “I will run and report to the king that the Lord has accomplished judgment for him, from the hand of his enemies.”
20 Kolkaasaa Yoo'aab wuxuu ku yidhi, Adigu maanta ahaan maysid kan warka qaadaya, laakiinse maalin kalaad qaadi doontaa, illowse adigu maanta waxba war qaadi maysid, maxaa yeelay, boqorka wiilkiisii baa dhintay.
And Joab said to him: “You shall not be the messenger on this day. Instead, you shall report on another day. I am not willing for you to give the report today, because the son of the king is dead.”
21 Markaasaa Yoo'aab wuxuu kii reer Kuush ku yidhi, Tag oo boqorkii u sheeg wixii aad aragtay. Oo kii reer Kuushna intuu Yoo'aab u sujuuday ayuu orday.
Then Joab said to Hushai, “Go, and report to the king what you have seen.” Hushai reverenced Joab, and he ran.
22 Markaasaa Axiimacas oo ahaa ina Saadooq ayaa mar kale Yoo'aab ku yidhi, Wax kastaba ha dhaceene, waan ku baryayaaye, i daa aan kii reer Kuush ka daba ordee. Oo Yoo'aabna wuxuu ku yidhi, Wiilkaygiiyow, adigoon waxba ku helayn warkan, bal maxaad u ordaysaa?
And Ahimaaz, the son of Zadok, said to Joab again, “What prevents me from running after Hushai also?” And Joab said to him: “Why do you want to run, my son? You would not be the bearer of good news.”
23 Wuxuuse yidhi, Wax kastaa ha dhacee, waan ordayaa. Kolkaasuu ku yidhi, Orod. Markaasaa Axiimacas wuxuu qaaday waddadii Bannaanka, oo kii reer Kuushna wuu ka dheereeyey.
And he responded, “But what if I do run?” And he said to him, “Run.” Then Ahimaaz, running along a shorter way, passed Hushai.
24 Oo Daa'uudna wuxuu fadhiyey labada irdood dhexdooda, waardiyihiina wuxuu fuulay iridda saqafkeeda ilaa derbigii, markaasuu wax fiiriyey, oo arkay nin keligiis soo ordaya.
Now David was sitting between the two gates. Truly, the watchman, who was at the summit of the gate upon the wall, lifting up his eyes, saw a man running alone.
25 Kolkaasaa waardiyihii dhawaaqay, oo boqorkii buu u sheegay. Boqorkiina wuxuu yidhi, Hadduu keligiis yahay, war buu sidaa. Oo isna wuu soo orday, wuuna soo dhowaaday.
And crying out, he told the king. And the king said, “If he is alone, there is good news in his mouth.” But as he was advancing and drawing nearer,
26 Markaasaa waardiyihii arkay nin kale oo soo ordaya; kolkaasaa waardiyihii u dhawaaqay iridjoogihii oo ku yidhi, Bal eeg, nin kalaa keligiis soo ordaya. Oo boqorkiina wuxuu yidhi, Isna war buu sidaa.
the watchman saw another man running. And so, crying out from the height, he said: “Another man has appeared, running alone.” And the king said, “This one also is a good messenger.”
27 Markaasaa waardiyihii wuxuu yidhi, Waxaan u malaynayaa inuu ninka hore orodkiisu u eg yahay orodkii Axiimacas ina Saadooq. Markaasaa boqorkii wuxuu yidhi, Isagu waa nin wanaagsan, wuxuu soo wadaa war wanaagsan.
Then the watchman said, “The running of the closest one seems like the running of Ahimaaz, the son of Zadok.” And the king said, “He is a good man, and he arrives bearing good news.”
28 Markaasaa Axiimacas dhawaaqay, oo boqorkii ku yidhi, Wax waluba waa hagaagsan yihiin. Oo intuu boqorka hortiisii ku sujuuday ayuu wejiga dhulka saaray, oo yidhi, Waxaa ammaan leh Rabbiga Ilaahaaga ah, oo inoo soo gacangeliyey raggii gacanta kuu qaaday, boqorow, sayidkaygiiyow.
Then, Ahimaaz, crying out, said to the king, “Be well, O king.” And reverencing the king prone on the ground before him, he said, “Blessed be the Lord your God, who has enclosed the men who had lifted up their hands against my lord the king.”
29 Boqorkiina wuxuu yidhi, Ninkii dhallintayaraa ee Absaaloom ahaa ma nabdoon yahay? Axiimacasna wuxuu ku jawaabay, Boqorow, markii Yoo'aab i soo diray, anigoo addoonkaaga ah, waxaan arkay buuq weyn laakiinse wax alla wuxuu ahaa ma aqaan.
And the king said, “Is there peace for the boy Absalom?” And Ahimaaz said: “I saw a great tumult, O king, when your servant Joab sent me, your servant. I know nothing else.”
30 Markaasaa boqorkii wuxuu yidhi, Bal gees u leexo, oo halkan istaag. Markaasuu gees u leexday oo istaagay.
And the king said to him, “Pass, and stand here.” And when he had passed and stood still,
31 Markaasaa kii reer Kuush yimid, oo yidhi, War baan kuu wadaa, boqorow, sayidkaygiiyow, waayo, Rabbigu maantuu kaaga soo aarguday kuwii kugu kacay oo dhan.
Hushai appeared. And approaching, he said: “I bear good news, my lord the king. For today the Lord has judged for you, from the hand of all who had risen up against you.”
32 Markaasaa boqorkii wuxuu kii reer Kuush ku yidhi, Ninkii dhallintayaraa ee Absaaloom ahaa ma nabdoon yahay? Oo kii reer Kuushna wuxuu ku jawaabay, Boqorow, sayidkaygiiyow, cadaawayaashaada iyo intii inay wax ku yeelaan kuugu kacda oo dhanba, Ilaah ha ka yeelo sida ninkaas dhallinyarada ahu yahay.
But the king said to Hushai, “Is there peace for the boy Absalom?” And responding, Hushai said to him, “May the enemies of my lord the king, and all who rise against him for evil, be as the boy is.”
33 Oo boqorkiina aad buu u naxay, oo wuxuu kor ugu baxay qolkii iridda ka koreeyey, wuuna ooyay; oo intuu sii socdayna, wuxuu lahaa, Wiilkaygii Absaaloomow, wiilkaygiiyow, wiilkaygii Absaaloomow! Hooggaygee, waan ku dhiman lahaa, Absaaloomow, wiilkaygiiyow, wiilkaygiiyow!
And so the king, being greatly saddened, ascended to the upper room of the gate, and he wept. And as he went, he was speaking in this manner: “My son Absalom! Absalom my son! Who can grant to me that I may die on your behalf? Absalom, my son! My son, Absalom!”
