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 David mustered the people who were with him, and appointed commanders of thousands and commanders of hundreds over them.
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.
David divided the army into three, a third part under the hand of Joab, and a third part under the hand of Abishai the son of Zeruiah, Joab's brother, and a third part under the hand of Ittai the Gittite. The king said to the people, "I will surely go forth with you myself also."
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.
But they said, "You must not go out, for if we retreat, no one will care about us. If half of us die, no one will care about us. But you are worth ten thousand of us. So it is better for you to be in the city to help."
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.
The king said to them, "I will do what seems best to you." The king stood beside the gate, and all the people went out 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.
The king gave this order to Joab and Abishai and Ittai, saying, "Be gentle for my sake with the young man Absalom." And all the people were listening when the king gave orders to all the commanders concerning 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.
So the people went out 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 struck there before the servants of David, and a great slaughter took place that day of twenty thousand men.
8 Oo dagaalkiina wuxuu ku faafay waddankii oo dhan, oo maalintaas waxaa kayntii cuntay dad ka sii badan intii seeftu cuntay.
For the battle spread over the entire region, and the forest devoured more people that day than the sword devoured.
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.
And Absalom happened to meet the servants of David. And he was riding on his mule, and the mule went under the thick branches of a great oak, and his head got caught in the oak, and he was left suspended in midair, while the mule that was under him kept going.
10 Markaasaa nin arkay, oo Yoo'aab u soo sheegay, oo wuxuu ku yidhi, War, waxaan soo arkay Absaaloom oo geed ka lalmada.
And someone saw it and told Joab, and said, "Look, I saw Absalom hanging in 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.
Then Joab said to the man who reported it, "Look, you saw this. So why didn't you strike him there to the ground? I would have given you ten pieces 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.
But the man said to Joab, "Even if I could feel in my hand the weight of a thousand pieces of silver in my hand, I still wouldn't lay a hand on the king's son, for in our hearing the king commanded you and Abishai and Ittai, saying, 'Be gentle for my sake with the young man Absalom.'
13 Ama haddaan saas samayn lahaa naftaydaan been kula macaamiloon lahaa, waayo, boqorka waxba kama qarsoona, adiga qudhaaduna waad igu kici lahayd.
Otherwise, if I had dealt treacherously against his life (and there is no matter hidden from the king), then you yourself would have dissociated yourself from me."
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.
Then Joab said, "I'm not going to waste time with you." So he took three sharp sticks in his hand and thrust them into the heart of Absalom while he was still alive in the midst of the oak.
15 Kolkaasaa waxaa Absaaloom hareereeyey toban nin oo dhallinyaro ahaa oo Yoo'aab hub u siday, oo intay dileen ayay gowraceen.
Then ten young men, Joab's armor-bearers, surrounded and struck Absalom and 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 blew the trumpet and the people turned back from pursuing Israel, for Joab had called for the people to halt.
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 threw him into a large pit in the forest, and heaped up over him a huge pile of stones. Then all Israel fled, each one to his tent.
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 in his lifetime had taken and reared up for himself the pillar, which is in the King's Valley; for he said, "I have no son to keep my name in memory." He called the pillar after his own name; and it is called Absalom's monument, 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, "Let me run, let me carry the king news how that the LORD has avenged him 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.
But Joab said, "You are not to bring the news today, but you may bring news another day. But today you are to bring no news." For it was because the king's son was 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 the Cushite, "Go, tell the king what you have seen." So the Cushite bowed before Joab and departed.
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?
Then Ahimaaz the son of Zadok said again to Joab, "Whatever happens, please let me go after the Cushite." But Joab said, "Why do you want to run, my son, since you will have no reward for the 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.
But he said, "But whatever happens, I will run." So he said to him, "Run." Then Ahimaaz ran by the way of the plain, and outran the Cushite.
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, and the watchman went up to the roof of the gate by the wall and raised his eyes and looked, and there was a man running alone towards him.
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.
Then the watchman shouted and informed the king. And the king said, "If he is alone, there is good news in his mouth." And he kept coming 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.
Then the watchman saw another man running. And the watchman above the gate called out, and said, "Look, another man running alone." And the king said, "He also brings good news."
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, "I think the first runner is like the running of Ahimaaz the son of Zadok." And the king said, "He is a good man, and comes with 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.
And Ahimaaz came near and said to the king, "All is well." Then he bowed himself before the king with his face to the ground, and said, "Blessed is the LORD your God, who has defeated the men who opposed 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 asked, "Is it well with the young man Absalom?" And Ahimaaz answered, "When Joab, the king's servant, sent your servant off, I saw a great commotion, but I do not know what it was."
30 Markaasaa boqorkii wuxuu yidhi, Bal gees u leexo, oo halkan istaag. Markaasuu gees u leexday oo istaagay.
Then the king said, "Step aside and stand here." So he stepped aside and waited.
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.
Then look, the Cushite arrived, and he said, "Good news for my lord the king, for the LORD has delivered you today from all those who rose 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.
Then the king asked the Cushite, "Is it well with the young man Absalom?" And the Cushite replied, "May the enemies of my lord the king and all who rise up against you with evil intent be like that young man."
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 the king was shaken, and went up to the room over the gate and wept. And as he wept he said, "My son Absalom. My son, my son Absalom. If only I had died in your place, Absalom, my son, my son."
