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.

There also happened to be at the same place a troublemaker whose name was Sheba son of Bikri, a Benjamite. He blew the trumpet and said, “We have no part in David, neither have we any inheritance in the son of Jesse. Let every man go back to his home, 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.

So all the men of Israel deserted David and followed Sheba son of Bikri. But the men of Judah followed closely their king, from the Jordan all the way to 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.

When David came to his palace at Jerusalem, he took the ten slave wives whom he had left to keep the palace, and he put them in a house under guard. He provided for their needs, but he did not sleep with them any longer. So they were shut up to the day of their death, living as if they were 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, “Call the men of Judah together within three days; you must be here, too.”

5 Markaasaa Camaasaa u tegey inuu reer Yahuudah isugu yeedho, laakiinse wuu ka daba maray wakhtigii loo qabtay ee lala ballamay.

So Amasa went to call Judah, but he was delayed beyond the time that the king had allotted for 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.

So David said to Abishai, “Now Sheba son of Bikri will do us more harm than Absalom did. Take your master's servants, my soldiers, and pursue after him, or he will find fortified cities and escape out of our sight.”

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.

Then Joab's men went out after him, along with the Kerethites and the Pelethites and all the mighty warriors. They left Jerusalem to pursue Sheba son of Bikri.

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.

When they were at the great stone which is at Gibeon, Amasa came to meet them. Joab was wearing the battle armor that he had put on, which included a belt around his waist with a sheathed sword fastened to it. As he walked forward, the sword fell out.

9 Markaasaa Yoo'aab Camaasaa ku yidhi, Walaalkayow, ma nabdoon tahay? Yoo'aabna gacanta midig ayuu Camaasaa gadhka ku qabtay inuu dhunkado.

So Joab said to Amasa, “Is it well with you, my cousin?” Joab took Amasa by the beard with his right hand 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.

Amasa did not notice the dagger that was in Joab's left hand. Joab stabbed Amasa in the stomach and his bowels spilled out to the ground. Joab did not strike him again, and Amasa died. So Joab and Abishai his brother pursued Sheba son of Bikri.

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.

Then one of Joab's men stood by Amasa, and the man said, “He who favors Joab, and he who is for David, let him follow Joab.”

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.

Amasa lay wallowing in his blood in the middle of the road. When the man saw that all the people stood still, he carried Amasa off of the road and into a field. He threw a garment over him because he saw that everyone who came by him stood still.

13 Oo markii jidka laga durkiyey ayaa dadkii oo dhammu tageen oo Yoo'aab raaceen inay eryadaan Shebac oo ahaa ina Bikrii.

After Amasa was taken off the road, all the men followed on after Joab in pursuit of Sheba son of Bikri.

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.

Sheba passed through all the tribes of Israel to Abel of Beth Maacah, and through all the land of the Bikrites, who gathered together and also pursued Sheba.

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.

They caught up with him and besieged him in Abel of Beth Maacah. They built up a siege ramp against the city against the wall. All the army who were with Joab battered the wall to knock it down.

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.

Then a wise woman cried out of the city, “Listen, please listen, Joab! Come near me so I may 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.

So Joab came near to her, and the woman said, “Are you Joab?” He answered, “I am.” Then she said to him, “Listen to the words of your servant.” He answered, “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.

Then she spoke, “They used to say in old times, 'Surely seek advice at Abel,' and that advice would end the matter.

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?

We are a city that is one of the most peaceful and faithful in Israel. You are trying to destroy a city that is a mother in Israel. Why do you want to swallow up the inheritance of Yahweh?”

20 Markaasaa Yoo'aab wuxuu ugu jawaabay, Inaan wax liqo oo dumiyo ha iga fogaato, oo ha iga dheeraato.

So Joab answered and said, “Far be it, far be it from me, that I should swallow up or destroy.

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.

That is not true. But a man from the hill country of Ephraim, named Sheba son of Bikri, has lifted up his hand against the king, against David. Give up him alone, and I will withdraw from the city.” The woman said to Joab, “His head will be thrown to you over 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.

Then the woman went to all the people in her wisdom. They cut off the head of Sheba son of Bikri, and threw it out to Joab. Then he blew the trumpet and Joab's men left the city, every man to his home. Then 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.

Now Joab was over all the army of Israel, and Benaiah son of Jehoiada was over the Kerethites and over the Pelethites.

24 Oo Adoraamna wuxuu ahaa kan baad qaada, Yehooshaafaad oo ahaa ina Axiiluudna wuxuu ahaa kan taariikhda dhiga,

Adoniram was over the men who did forced labor, and Jehoshaphat son of Ahilud was the recorder.

25 oo Shewaana karraani buu ahaa, Saadooq iyo Aabyaataarna wadaaddo bay ahaayeen,

Sheva was scribe and Zadok and Abiathar were priests.

26 oo Ciiraa oo reer Yaa'iir ahaa isna Daa'uud buu wadaad u ahaa.

Ira the Jairite was chief minister to David.
