Samuu'Eel Labaad 19
1 Markaasaa Yoo'aab waxaa loo soo sheegay oo lagu yidhi, Bal eeg, boqorkii wuu u ooyayaa oo u barooranayaa Absaaloom.
Someone told Joab that the king was crying and mourning because Absalom had died.
2 Oo maalintaas guushii waxay dadkii oo dhan ugu rogmatay baroor, waayo, maalintaas waxaa dadku maqlay in la yidhi, Boqorkii wiilkiisii buu u murugoonayaa.
All of David’s soldiers became sad. Instead of rejoicing about defeating [the soldiers who had fought with Absalom], they were sad because they heard that the king was mourning because Absalom [was dead].
3 Oo dadkiina maalintaas qarsoodi bay ku soo galeen magaaladii, sidii dad ceebaysanu ay u dhuuntaan markii ay dagaalka ka cararaan.
The soldiers returned to the city quietly, like [SIM] soldiers do when they are ashamed because they ran away from battle.
4 Markaasaa boqorkii hagoogtay, oo cod weyn buu ku qayliyey oo yidhi, Wiilkaygii Absaaloomow, Absaaloomow, wiilkaygiiyow, wiilkaygiiyow!
The king covered his face [with his hands] and kept crying loudly, “O, my son Absalom! O, Absalom, my son! My son!”
5 Markaasaa Yoo'aab boqorkii ugu yimid gurigiisii, oo ku yidhi, Maanta waxaad ceebaysay wejiyadii addoommadaada oo dhan, kuwaasoo maanta naftaada badbaadshay, iyo nafta wiilashaada iyo gabdhahaaga, iyo nafta naagahaaga, iyo nafta naagahaaga addoommaha ah;
Then Joab entered the room where the king was, and said to the king, “Today you have caused your soldiers to be ashamed! You have humiliated the men who saved your life and the lives of your sons and daughters and your ordinary wives and your slave wives!
6 oo weliba waxaad jeceshahay kuwa ku neceb, kuwa ku jecelna waad neceb tahay. Waayo, maanta waxaad caddaysay inaanay amiirro iyo addoommoba waxba kula ahayn, maxaa yeelay, maanta waxaan ogaaday, haddii Absaaloom noolaan lahaa, oo aan annagu kulligayo dhiman lahayn, inaad taas aad ugu farxi lahayd.
[It seems that] you love those who hate you and [that] you hate those who love you. You have caused it to be clear today that your commanders and your officers are not at all important to you. I think that if Absalom were still alive and we were all dead today, you would be happy.
7 Haddaba saas daraaddeed kac, oo dibadda u bax, oo addoommadaada intaad la hadashid dhiiro geli; waayo, Rabbigaan ku dhaartaye, haddaadan dibadda u bixin, inaan ninna caawa kula joogayn; oo taasuna way kaaga sii xumaanaysaa kulli sharkii kugu dhacay tan iyo yaraantaadii.
So, now go and thank your soldiers [for what they did]. Because I solemnly declare that if you do not do that, none of them will still be with you by tomorrow morning and that would be worse [for you] than all the disasters/troubles that you have experienced since you were a boy.”
8 Markaasaa boqorkii sara joogsaday, oo iriddii buu fadhiistay. Oo taasaa loo sheegay dadkii oo dhan, oo lagu yidhi, Bal eega, boqorkii iridduu fadhiyaaye, markaasaa dadkii oo dhammu boqorkii hor yimaadeen. Markii hore reer binu Israa'iil nin waluba wuxuu u cararay teendhadiisii.
So the king got up and went and sat near the city gate. And all the people were told, “Hey, the king is sitting at the gate!” So they all came and gathered around him. Meanwhile, all the Israeli troops [who had been with Absalom] had returned to their homes.
9 Oo dadkii oo dhan iyo qabiilooyinkii reer binu Israa'iil oo dhammu way isla doodayeen, oo waxay islahaayeen, War boqorku wuxuu inaga samatabbixiyey cadaawayaasheenna, reer Falastiinna wuu inaga badbaadshay, oo haatanna wuxuu dalka uga cararay Absaaloom aawadiis.
Then all the people throughout the tribes of Israel started to quarrel among themselves. They said to each other, “King David rescued us from the people of Philistia and from our other enemies. But now he has fled from Absalom and left Israel!
10 Oo Absaaloomkii aynu u subkannay inuu inoo taliyana dagaalkii buu ku dhintay. Haddaba maxaad uga hadli weydeen si boqorka loo soo celiyo?
We appointed [MTY] Absalom to be our king, but he died in the battle [against David’s soldiers]. So (why does someone not try to bring King David back?/surely someone should try to bring King David back.)” [RHQ]
11 Markaasaa boqorkii u cid diray wadaaddadii ahaa Saadooq iyo Aabyaataar, oo wuxuu ku yidhi, Odayaasha dalka Yahuudah la hadla oo ku dhaha, Waxaa boqorka u yimid hadalkii reer binu Israa'iil oo dhan oo leh, Boqorka gurigiisa ha lagu soo celiyo, laakiinse maxaad idinku dadka uga hadheen si aad boqorka gurigiisii ugu soo celisaan?
King David [found out what the people were saying. So he] sent the two priests, Zadok and Abiathar, to say to the leaders of Judah, “The king says that he has heard that all the Israeli people [want him to be king again]. And he says, ‘(Why should you be the last ones to bring me back to my palace?/It is not right that you be the last ones to bring me back to my palace.) [RHQ]
12 War idinku walaalahay baad tihiin, oo waxaad kaloo tihiin laftayda iyo luddayda; haddaba maxaad idinku dadka uga hadheen si aad boqorka gurigiisii ugu soo celisaan?
You are my relatives; we have the same ancestor [IDM]. So (why should you be the last ones to bring me back?/you should certainly not be the last ones to bring me back.) [RHQ]’”
13 Oo Camaasaana waxaad ku tidhaahdaan, War miyaadan ahayn laftayda iyo luddayda? Ilaah saas iyo si ka sii daran ha igu sameeyo, haddaan ciidanka sirkaal kaaga dhigi waayo, oo aadan had iyo goorba hortayda joogin meeshii Yoo'aab!
And say to Amasa, “You are one of my relatives. I hope/desire that God strike me dead [IDM] if I do not appoint you to be, from now on, the commander of my army instead of Joab.”
14 Markaasuu soo jeediyey qalbigii dadkii dalka Yahuudah oo dhan, oo wuxuu ka dhigay sidii nin keliya qalbigiis; saas aawadeed waxay u soo cid direen boqorkii, oo ku yidhaahdeen, Adiga iyo addoommadaada oo dhammuba soo noqda.
[By sending that message to them, ] David convinced all the people of Judah [IDM] [that they should (be loyal to him/accept him as their king]). So they sent a message to the king, saying “We want you and all your officials to return here.”
15 Haddaba boqorkii wuu noqday, oo wuxuu yimid Webi Urdun. Oo dadkii dalka Yahuudahna waxay yimaadeen Gilgaal inay boqorka ka hor tagaan, oo ay boqorka ka gudbiyaan Webi Urdun.
So the king [and his officials started back toward Jerusalem]. When they reached the Jordan [River], the people of Judah came there to Gilgal to meet the king, and to bring him across the river.
16 Oo Shimcii ina Geeraa oo ahaa reer Benyaamiin oo ka yimid Baxuuriim ayaa soo dhaqsaday oo ula soo dhaadhacay raggii reer Yahuudah inay Boqor Daa'uud ka hor tagaan.
Shimei, the man from the tribe of Benjamin, also came down quickly [to the river] with the people of Judah to meet King David.
17 Oo waxaa isaga la socday kun nin oo reer Benyaamiin ah, iyo Siibaa oo ahaa midiidinkii reerkii Saa'uul, iyo shan iyo tobankiisii wiil iyo labaatankiisii addoon; oo Webi Urdun bay dhex mareen isagoo boqorku arko.
There were 1,000 men from the tribe of Benjamin who came with him. And Ziba, who had been the servant of Saul, also hurried down to the Jordan [River], bringing 20 of his servants with him. They all came to the king,
18 Markaasaa waxaa gudubtay sixiimad in lagu soo tallaabiyo reer boqor iyo inuu sameeyo wixii isaga la wanaagsan. Oo Shimcii oo ahaa ina Geeraa ayaa ku dhacay boqorka hortiisii markuu Webi Urdun ka soo gudbay.
and then they all [prepared to] take the king and all his family across the river, at the place where they could walk across it. They wanted to do whatever the king wanted them to do. As the king was about to cross the river, Shimei came to him and prostrated himself in front of the king.
19 Oo wuxuu boqorkii ku yidhi, Sayidkaygiiyow, dembi ha igu tirin, oo ha xusuusan wixii aan anoo addoonkaaga ah si qalloocan kuugu sameeyey maalintii aad Yeruusaalem ka baxday, oo boqorow, sayidkaygiiyow, taas qalbiga ha ku qabsan.
He said to the king, “Your Majesty, please forgive me. Please do not keep thinking about the terrible thing that I did on the day that you left Jerusalem. Do not think about it any more.
20 Waayo, anigoo addoonkaaga ah haatan waan ogahay inaan dembaabay, oo sidaas daraaddeed ayaan maanta reer Yuusuf oo dhan ugu soo hor maray inaan soo dhaadhaco oo aan kaa hor imaado, boqorow, sayidkaygiiyow.
Because I know that I have sinned. Look, I have come today, the first one from the northern tribes to come here to greet you today, Your Majesty.”
21 Laakiinse waxaa u jawaabay Abiishay oo ay Seruuyaah dhashay, oo wuxuu ku yidhi, Shimcii miyuusan u dhimanayn waxan uu sameeyey, maxaa yeelay, wuxuu habaaray Rabbiga kiisii subkanaa?
But Abishai, the son of Zeruiah, said, “He cursed the one that Yahweh appointed [MTY] to be the king! So (should he not be executed for doing that?/he certainly should be executed for doing that.)” [RHQ]
22 Markaasaa Daa'uud wuxuu yidhi, Kuwiinna ay Seruuyaah dhashayow, maxaa inaga dhexeeya? Oo maxaadse maanta cadaawayaal iigu noqoteen? Maanta reer binu Israa'iil ma nin baa laga dilayaa? Oo miyaanan anigu maanta ogayn inaan ahay boqor reer binu Israa'iil u taliya?
But David said, “You sons of Zeruiah, what am I going to do with you? (OR, you are not the ones who should decide [what to do to him]). [It is as though] you have become my enemies today. I know that I am the one who has now become the king of Israel, [so I say that] certainly no one [RHQ] in Israel should be executed today.”
23 Markaasaa boqorkii wuxuu Shimcii ku yidhi, Adigu dhiman maysid. Boqorkiina wuu u dhaartay.
Then the king said to Shimei, “I solemnly promise that I will not execute you.”
24 Kolkaasaa waxaa yimid inuu boqorka ka hor tago Mefiiboshed oo ahaa ina Saa'uul; oo kaasu maalintii boqorku tegey iyo ilaa maalintii uu soo nabad noqday inta ka dhex leh cagihiisa ma uu hagaajin, gadhkiisiina ma uu jarin, dharkiisiina ma uu maydhin.
Then Miphibosheth, Saul’s grandson, came down [to the river] to greet the king. He had not washed his feet or trimmed his beard or washed his clothes, from the time that the king left Jerusalem until the day that he returned.
25 Markuu Yeruusaalem u yimid inuu boqorka ka hor tago ayaa boqorkii ku yidhi, Mefiiboshedow, maxaad ii raaci weyday?
When he arrived from Jerusalem to greet the king, the king said to him, “Mephibosheth, why did you not go with me?”
26 Oo isna wuxuu ku jawaabay, Boqorow, sayidkaygiiyow, waxaa i khiyaaneeyey addoonkaygii, waayo, anoo addoonkaagii ah waxaan is-idhi, Waxaan kooraysan dameer inaan fuulo aawadeed, markaasaan boqorka raaci doonaa, waayo, curyaan baan ahay.
He replied, “Your Majesty, [you know that] I am crippled. [When I heard that you were leaving Jerusalem, ] I said to my servant [Ziba], ‘Put a saddle on my donkey in order that I can ride on it and go with the king.’ But he deceived me [and left without me].
27 Oo anigoo addoonkaagii ah ayuu igu kaa hor xantay boqorow, sayidkaygiiyow, laakiinse waxaad tahay sidii malaa'ig Ilaah oo kale; haddaba wixii kula wanaagsan samee.
And he lied to you about me. But, Your Majesty, you are [as wise] as God’s angel. So do whatever seems right to you.
28 Waayo, reerka aabbahay oo dhammu waxay ahaayeen sida dad dhintay oo kale xaggaaga boqorow, sayidkaygiiyow, laakiinse anoo addoonkaaga ah waxaad i dhex fadhiisisay kuwa wax ka cuna miiskaaga. Haddaba weli xaqee baan u leeyahay inaan mar dambe kuu qayshado, boqorow?
All of my grandfather’s family expected/deserved that we would be executed. But [you did not execute me; ] you allowed me to eat food with you at your table! So I certainly do not have [RHQ] the right to request you for anything more.”
29 Boqorkiina wuxuu ku yidhi, War maxaad weli uga sii hadlaysaa axwaalahaaga? Waxaan ku leeyahay, Adiga iyo Siibaa dhulka qaybsada.
The king replied, “You certainly do not need to say any more. I have decided that you and Ziba will divide [equally] the land [that belonged to your grandfather Saul].”
30 Markaasaa Mefiiboshed wuxuu boqorkii ku yidhi, Isagu ha iska wada qaato, mar haddaad gurigaaga ku soo nabad noqotay, boqorow, sayidkaygiiyow.
Mephibosheth replied to the king, “Your Majesty, [I am content that] you have returned safely. So allow him to take all the land.”
31 Oo Barsillay oo ahaa reer Gilecaad ayaa Rogeliim ka yimid; oo wuxuu boqorka kala gudbay Webi Urdun, si uu u sii sagootiyo.
Barzillai, the man from [the] Gilead [region], had come down to the Jordan [River] from [his town of] Rogelim, to escort the king across the river.
32 Barsillayna nin aad u da' weyn buu ahaa, oo wuxuu jiray siddeetan sannadood, oo boqorkana sooryuu u keeni jiray intuu Maxanayim joogay, maxaa yeelay, nin aad u weyn buu ahaa.
Barzillai was a very old man, 80 years old. He was a very wealthy man, and he had provided food for the king [and his soldiers] while they were at Mahanaim.
33 Markaasaa boqorkii wuxuu Barsillay ku yidhi, Kaalay oo ila gudub, oo anna Yeruusaalem baan kugu quudin doonaa.
The king said to Barzillai, “Come with me to Jerusalem, and I will take care of you.”
34 Barsillayna wuxuu boqorkii ku yidhi, Bal cimrigaygu waa intee, markaan boqorka Yeruusaalem u raacayo?
But Barzillai replied, “I certainly do not have [RHQ] many more years to live. So (why should I go with you to Jerusalem?/there is certainly no reason for me to go with you to Jerusalem.) [RHQ]
35 Maanta waxaan jiraa siddeetan sannadood, haddaba miyaan kala garan karaa xumaanta iyo samaanta? Oo anigoo addoonkaaga ah miyaan dhadhamin karaa waxaan cuno iyo waxaan cabbo toona? Oo miyaan in dambe maqli karaa codka ragga gabyaya iyo dumarka heesaya? Haddaba anoo addoonkaaga ah maxaan culays kuugu noqonayaa, boqorow, sayidkaygiiyow?
I am now 80 years old. I do not [RHQ] know what is enjoyable and what is not enjoyable. I cannot [RHQ] enjoy what I eat and what I drink. I cannot [RHQ] hear the voices of men and women as they sing. So (why should I be another burden to you?/I do not want to be another burden to you.) [RHQ]
36 Anoo addoonkaaga ah waxaan doonayay inaan Webi Urdun kaala gudbo oo keliya; haddaba maxaad abaalgudkan weyn iigu soo celinaysaa, boqorow?
I will cross the Jordan [River] with you and go a little further, and that will be all the reward that I need [for helping you].
37 Haddaba anoo addoonkaaga ah, waan ku baryayaaye, i daa aan dib u noqdee, si aan ugu dhinto magaaladaydii iyo meel u dhow qabrigii aabbahay iyo hooyaday. Laakiinse bal eeg addoonkaagii Kimhaam; isagu ha kula gudbo, boqorow, sayidkaygiiyow, oo isaga ku samee wax alla wixii kula wanaagsan.
Then please allow me to return to my home, because that is where I want to die, near my parents’ grave. But here is [my son] Chimham. Your Majesty, allow him to go with you [and serve you], and do for him whatever seems good to you!”
38 Markaasaa boqorkii wuxuu ku jawaabay, Kimhaam aniguu ila gudbayaa, oo waxaan u samaynayaa wixii kula wanaagsan; oo wax alla wixii aad i weyddiisato, waan kuu samaynayaa.
The king replied, “Okay, he will cross [the river] with me, and I will do for him whatever seems good to you. And I will do for you whatever you want me to do.”
39 Oo dadkii oo dhammu Webi Urdun bay ka gudbeen, oo boqorkiina wuu gudbay; boqorkiina Barsillay wuu dhunkaday, wuuna u duceeyey; oo isna wuxuu ku noqday meeshiisii.
Then King David and all the others crossed the Jordan [River]. He kissed Barzillai and [asked God to] bless him. Then Barzillai returned to his home.
40 Sidaasuu boqorkii ugu gudbay Gilgaal, oo Kimhaamna isaguu la gudbay, oo reer Yahuudah oo dhammuna boqorkii bay soo gudbiyeen, iyo reer binu Israa'iil badhkood.
[After they crossed the river, ] Chimham went with the king, and all the army of Judah and half the army of the other Israeli tribes escorted/accompanied the king to Gilgal.
41 Dabadeedna dadkii reer binu Israa'iil oo dhammu boqorkii bay u yimaadeen, oo waxay boqorkii ku yidhaahdeen, Walaalaheen oo ah ragga reer Yahuudah maxay kuu xadeen, oo ay adiga iyo reerkaagaba Webi Urdun idiinku tallaabiyeen iyo weliba raggaagii kula jirayba, boqorow?
Then all the soldiers from the other Israeli tribes came to the king and said, “(Why is it that our relatives, the men from Judah, took you away from us and wanted to be the only ones to escort you and your family across the river, along with all your men?/It is not right that our relatives, the men from Judah, took you away from us and wanted to be the only ones to escort you and your family across the river, along with all your men.) [RHQ] [Why did you not request us to do that]?” [RHQ]
42 Markaasaa raggii reer Yahuudah waxay ugu jawaabeen raggii reer binu Israa'iil, War boqorku annaguu na hilib xigaa, ee maxaad xaaladdan ugu cadhoonaysaan? War ma annagaa boqorka wax ka cunnay? Mase hadiyad buu na siiyey?
The soldiers from Judah replied, “We did it because the king is from Judah. So (why are you angry about that?/you should not be angry about that.) [RHQ] The king has never paid for our food, and he has never given us any gifts.”
43 Oo raggii reer binu Israa'iilna waxay raggii reer Yahuudah ugu jawaabeen, War boqorka toban meelood baannu ku leennahay, oo weliba Daa'uud annagaa idinkaga xaq leh, haddaba maxaad noo quudhsateen oo aad hore noo weyddiin weydeen talo ku saabsan boqorkeenna soo celintiisa? Oo raggii reer Yahuudah erayadoodii way ka sii adkaayeen erayadii raggii reer binu Israa'iil.
The men of the other Israeli tribes replied, “[There are ten tribes in Israel, and only one in Judah. So] it is ten times more right for us to say that David [is our king] than it is for you to say that. So why are you despising us [RHQ]? We were certainly [RHQ] the first ones to talk about bringing David back [to Jerusalem to be our king again].” But the men of Judah spoke more harshly than the men from the other tribes of Israel did.
