Samuu'Eel Labaad 20
1 Oo halkaasna waxaa joogay nin waxmatare ah, oo magiciisa la odhan jiray Shebac, oo ahaa ina Bikrii, oo qoladiisu ahayd reer Benyaamiin, oo buunkii buu afuufay, oo yidhi, Annagu Daa'uud qayb kuma lihin, dhaxalna kuma lihin ina Yesay, haddaba reer binu Israa'iilow, nin walowba teendhadaadii tag.
And it happened that there was, in that place, a man of Belial, whose name was Sheba, the son of Bichri, a man of Benjamin. And he sounded the trumpet, and he said: “There is no portion for us in David, nor any inheritance in the son of Jesse. Return to your own tents, O Israel.”
2 Sidaas daraaddeed raggii reer binu Israa'iil oo dhammu way ka hadheen Daa'uud la socodkiisii, oo waxay daba galeen Shebac oo ahaa ina Bikrii, laakiinse raggii reer Yahuudah waxay ku hadheen boqorkoodii, oo ay la socdeen tan iyo Webi Urdun xataa ilaa Yeruusaalem.
And all of Israel separated from David, and they were following Sheba, the son of Bichri. But the men of Judah clung to their king, from the Jordan as far as Jerusalem.
3 Daa'uudna waa yimid gurigiisii Yeruusaalem ku yiil, markaasaa boqorkii soo kaxaystay tobankiisii naagood oo addoommaha ahaa, ee uu kaga tegey inay guriga dhawraan, oo intuu meel gaadh leh geliyey ayuu masruufayay, laakiinse uma uu tegin. Sidaas daraaddeed ilamaa maalintii ay dhinteen bay xidhnaayeen, iyagoo carmallo ah.
And when the king had entered his house at Jerusalem, he took the ten women concubines, whom he had left behind to care for the house, and he put them into custody, allowing them provisions. But he did not enter to them. Instead, they were enclosed, even until the day of their deaths, living as widows.
4 Markaasaa boqorkii wuxuu Camaasaa ku yidhi, Ragga reer Yahuudah muddo saddex maalmood ah isugu kay yeedh, oo adiguna markaas halkan joog.
Then the king said to Amasa, “Summon to me all the men of Judah on the third day, and you shall be present also.”
5 Markaasaa Camaasaa u tegey inuu reer Yahuudah isugu yeedho, laakiinse wuu ka daba maray wakhtigii loo qabtay ee lala ballamay.
Therefore, Amasa went away, so that he might summon Judah. But he delayed beyond the agreed time that the king had appointed to him.
6 Markaasaa Daa'uud Abiishay ku yidhi, Hadda Shebac oo ah ina Bikrii wuxuu inagu samayn doonaa waxyeello ka sii daran tii Absaaloom, haddaba addoommada sayidkaaga kexee, oo eryo, waaba intaasoo ay magaalo deyr leh helaan, oo ay inaga baxsadaane.
And David said to Abishai: “Now Sheba, the son of Bichri, will afflict us more so than Absalom did. Therefore, take the servants of your lord, and pursue him, otherwise he may find fortified cities, and escape from us.”
7 Markaasaa waxaa isagii raacay Yoo'aab raggiisii, iyo reer Kereetiim iyo reer Feleetii, iyo raggii xoogga lahaa oo dhan, oo Yeruusaalem bay uga baxeen inay eryadaan Shebac ina Bikrii.
And so, the men of Joab departed with him, along with the Cherethites and the Pelethites. And all the able-bodied men went out from Jerusalem to pursue Sheba, the son of Bichri.
8 Oo markay gaadheen dhagaxii weynaa oo Gibecoon ku yiil ayaa waxaa ka hor yimid Camaasaa. Oo Yoo'aabna wuxuu guntanaa dharkiisii dagaalka ee uu xidhay, oo wuxuu kaloo ka kor dhex-xidhay seef gal lihi ku xidhnayd, oo markuu horay u soo baxay ayay ka dhacday.
And when they were beside the great stone, which is in Gibeon, Amasa came to meet them. Now Joab was wearing a close-fitting coat of equal length with his garment. And over these, he was girded with a sword hanging down to his thigh, in a scabbard which was made so that the sword could be removed with the least motion, and then strike.
9 Markaasaa Yoo'aab Camaasaa ku yidhi, Walaalkayow, ma nabdoon tahay? Yoo'aabna gacanta midig ayuu Camaasaa gadhka ku qabtay inuu dhunkado.
Then Joab said to Amasa, “Be well, my brother.” And he held Amasa by the chin with his right hand, as if to kiss him.
10 Laakiinse Camaasaa iskama uu jirin seefta Yoo'aab gacanta ugu jirtay, sidaasuu caloosha seeftii ugaga dhuftay, oo xiidmihiisiina dhulkuu ugu soo daadiyey, oo mar kalena kuma uu dhufan; wuuna dhintay. Dabadeedna Yoo'aab iyo walaalkiis Abiishay waxay eryadeen Shebac oo ahaa ina Bikrii.
But Amasa did not notice the sword that Joab had. And he struck him in the side, and his intestines poured out to the ground. And he did not inflict a second wound, and he died. Then Joab and his brother Abishai pursued Sheba, the son of Bichri.
11 Markaasaa waxaa ag istaagay mid ka mid ah Yoo'aab raggiisii dhallinyarada ahaa, oo wuxuu yidhi, Kii Yoo'aab jecel iyo kii Daa'uud la dhinac ahu Yoo'aab ha raaceen.
Meanwhile, certain men, from the company of Joab, when they had stopped beside the dead body of Amasa, said: “Behold, the one who wished to be in the place of Joab, the companion of David.”
12 Oo Camaasaa wuxuu yiil jidka dhexdiisa isagoo dhiiggiisii dhex jiifa. Oo ninkiina markuu arkay in dadkii oo dhammu weli taagan yihiin ayuu Camaasaa jidkii ka qaaday oo meel ku jiiday, markaasuu marona kor saaray kolkuu arkay in dadkii yimid oo dhammu ay is-ag taageen.
Now Amasa was covered with blood, and was lying in the middle of the road. A certain man saw this, with all the people standing nearby to look at him, and he removed Amasa from the road into a field. And he covered him with a garment, so that those passing by would not stop because of him.
13 Oo markii jidka laga durkiyey ayaa dadkii oo dhammu tageen oo Yoo'aab raaceen inay eryadaan Shebac oo ahaa ina Bikrii.
Then, when he had been removed from the road, all the men continued on, following Joab in the pursuit of Sheba, the son of Bichri.
14 Isna wuxuu dhex maray qabiilooyinkii reer binu Israa'iil oo dhan iyo tan iyo Aabeel, iyo Beytmacakaah, iyo reer Beerii oo dhan, oo dhammaantood intay soo urureen ayay eryadeen.
Now he had passed through all the tribes of Israel into Abel and Bethmaacah. And all the elect men had gathered together to him.
15 Oo intay yimaadeen ayay isagii ku hareereeyeen Aabeel oo ku taal Beytmacakaah, oo taallo ciid ah ayay derbigii magaalada ag tuuleen, ilaa ay qarkii ugu sarreeyey gaadhsiiyeen; oo dadkii Yoo'aab la socday oo dhammuna aad bay u garaacayeen derbigii magaalada si ay u dumiyaan.
And so, they went and besieged him at Abel and Bethmaacah. And they surrounded the city with siege works, and the city was blockaded. Then the entire crowd who were with Joab strove to destroy the walls.
16 Markaasaa naag caqli badanu magaaladii ka dhawaaqday, oo waxay tidhi, Waan idin baryayaaye, I maqla, oo i dhegaysta; oo waxaad Yoo'aab ku tidhaahdaan, Halkan iigu kaalay, aan kula hadlee.
And a wise woman exclaimed from the city: “Listen, listen, and say to Joab: Draw near, and I will speak with you.”
17 Markaasuu u soo dhowaaday, oo naagtii waxay ku tidhi, Ma Yoo'aab baad tahay? Oo isna wuxuu ugu jawaabay, Haah, waan ahay. Kolkaasay ku tidhi, Bal erayadayda maqal, anoo addoontaada ah, oo isna wuxuu ugu jawaabay, Waan ku maqlayaa.
And when he had drawn near to her, she said to him, “Are you Joab?” And he responded, “I am.” And she spoke in this way to him, “Listen to the words of your handmaid.” He responded, “I am listening.”
18 Markaasay la hadashay oo ku tidhi, Waxaa waa hore la odhan jiray, Hubaal Aabeel talo ha laga doonto, oo saasay xaalkii ku dhammeeyeen.
And again she spoke: “A word was said in the old proverb, ‘Those who would inquire, let them inquire in Abel.’ And so they would reach a conclusion.
19 Anigu waxaan ka mid ahay kuwa reer binu Israa'iil ee nabadda jecel ee aaminka ah, adiguse waxaad doonaysaa inaad dumiso magaalo iyo hooyo reer binu Israa'iil ah. Rabbiga dhaxalkiisase maxaad u liqaysaa?
Am I not the one who responds with the truth in Israel? And yet you are seeking to overthrow the city, and to overturn a mother in Israel! Why would you cast down the inheritance of the Lord?”
20 Markaasaa Yoo'aab wuxuu ugu jawaabay, Inaan wax liqo oo dumiyo ha iga fogaato, oo ha iga dheeraato.
And responding, Joab said: “May this be far, may this be far from me! May I not cast down, and may I not demolish.
21 Laakiinse xaaladdu saas ma aha. Nin ka yimid dalka buuraha leh oo reer Efrayim, oo magiciisa la yidhaahdo Shebac ina Bikrii ayaa gacanta u qaaday boqorka Daa'uud ah. Haddaba isaga keliya ii soo gacangeliya, oo anna magaalada waan ka tegayaa. Markaasaa naagtii waxay Yoo'aab ku tidhi, Bal eeg, madaxiisii ayaa derbiga lagaaga soo tuurayaa.
The matter is not as you said. Rather, a man from mount Ephraim, Sheba, the son of Bichri, by name, has lifted up his hand against king David. Deliver him alone, and we will withdraw from the city.” And the woman said to Joab, “Behold, his head will be thrown down to you from the wall.’
22 Markaasaa naagtii waxay caqligeedii ula tagtay dadkii oo dhan. Shebac oo ina Bikrii ahaana intay madaxii ka soo gooyeen ayay Yoo'aab dibadda ugu soo tuureen. Markaasuu buunkii afuufay, oo ay magaaladii ka kala dareereen, oo nin waluba wuxuu tegey teendhadiisii. Oo Yoo'aabna Yeruusaalem iyo boqorkii buu ku noqday.
Therefore, she entered to all the people, and she spoke to them wisely. And they cut off the head of Sheba, the son of Bichri, and they threw it down to Joab. And he sounded the trumpet, and they withdrew from the city, each one to his own tent. But Joab returned to Jerusalem to the king.
23 Haddaba Yoo'aab wuxuu u sarreeyey ciidanka reer binu Israa'iil oo dhan; Benaayaah oo ahaa ina Yehooyaadaacna wuxuu u sarreeyey reer Kereetiim iyo reer Feleetii.
Thus Joab was over the entire army of Israel. And Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, was over the Cerethites and Phelethites.
24 Oo Adoraamna wuxuu ahaa kan baad qaada, Yehooshaafaad oo ahaa ina Axiiluudna wuxuu ahaa kan taariikhda dhiga,
Yet truly, Adoram was over the tributes. And Jehoshaphat, the son of Ahilud, was the keeper of records.
25 oo Shewaana karraani buu ahaa, Saadooq iyo Aabyaataarna wadaaddo bay ahaayeen,
Now Sheva was the scribe. And truly Zadok and Abiathar were the priests.
26 oo Ciiraa oo reer Yaa'iir ahaa isna Daa'uud buu wadaad u ahaa.
But Ira, the Jairite, was the priest of David.
