< Samuu'Eel Labaad 3 >

1 Haddaba waxaa jiray dagaal dheer oo dhex maray reer Saa'uul iyo reer Daa'uud; oo Daa'uudna waa sii xoog badnaanayay, laakiinse reer Saa'uul way sii xoog yaraanayeen.
Now the war between the house of Saul and the house of David was protracted. And David grew stronger and stronger, while the house of Saul grew weaker and weaker.
2 Oo Daa'uudna wiilal baa ugu dhashay Xebroon. Curadkiisu wuxuu ahaa Amnoon, oo waxaa dhashay Axiinocam tii reer Yesreceel.
And sons were born to David in Hebron: His firstborn was Amnon, by Ahinoam of Jezreel;
3 Wiilkiisii labaadna wuxuu ahaa Kile'aab, oo waxaa dhashay Abiigayil oo u dhaxday Naabaal kii reer Karmel. Kan saddexaadna wuxuu ahaa Absaaloom oo waxaa dhashay Macakaah oo ahayd boqorkii Geshuur oo Talmay ahaa gabadhiisii.
his second was Chileab, by Abigail the widow of Nabal of Carmel; his third was Absalom, the son of Maacah daughter of King Talmai of Geshur;
4 Kan afraadna wuxuu ahaa Adoniiyaah oo waxaa dhashay Xaggiid. Kan shanaadna wuxuu ahaa Shefatyaah oo waxaa dhashay Abiital.
his fourth was Adonijah, the son of Haggith; his fifth was Shephatiah, the son of Abital;
5 Kan lixaadna wuxuu ahaa Yitrecaam, oo waxaa dhashay Ceglaah oo Daa'uud u dhaxday. Intaasu waxay Daa'uud ugu dhasheen Xebroon.
and his sixth was Ithream, by David’s wife Eglah. These sons were born to David in Hebron.
6 Intii ay reer Saa'uul iyo reer Daa'uud dagaallamayeen ayaa Abneer aad ugu xoogaystay reerkii Saa'uul.
During the war between the house of Saul and the house of David, Abner had continued to strengthen his position in the house of Saul.
7 Haddaba Saa'uul wuxuu lahaa naag addoon ah oo magaceedana la odhan jiray Risfaah, waxayna ahayd ina Ayah; oo Iishboshed wuxuu Abneer ku yidhi, War maxaad ugu tagtay addoontii aabbahay?
Meanwhile, Saul had a concubine named Rizpah, the daughter of Aiah. So Ish-bosheth questioned Abner, “Why did you sleep with my father’s concubine?”
8 Markaasaa Abneer aad ugu cadhooday erayadii Iishboshed, oo wuxuu yidhi, Anigu ma waxaan ahay madax eey oo reer Yahuudah leeyihiin? Bal maanta raxmad baan tusayaa reerkii aabbahaa Saa'uul, iyo walaalihiis, iyo saaxiibbadiis, oo adigana kuuma aan gacangelin Daa'uud, oo weliba maanta waxaad igu eedaynaysaa wax ku saabsan naagtan.
Abner was furious over Ish-bosheth’s accusation. “Am I the head of a dog that belongs to Judah?” he asked. “All this time I have been loyal to the house of your father Saul, to his brothers, and to his friends. I have not delivered you into the hand of David, but now you accuse me of wrongdoing with this woman!
9 Haddaba sidii Rabbigu ugu dhaartay Daa'uud, Ilaah saas iyo si ka sii badanba anoo Abneer ah, ha igu sameeyo haddaanan saas oo kale isaga ku samayn,
May God punish Abner, and ever so severely, if I do not do for David what the LORD has sworn to him:
10 taasoo ah inaan boqortooyada ka wareejiyo reer Saa'uul, iyo inaan carshiga Daa'uud u qotomiyo reer binu Israa'iil iyo reer binu Yahuudah, iyo tan iyo Daan iyo ilaa Bi'ir Shebac.
to transfer the kingdom from the house of Saul and to establish the throne of David over Israel and Judah, from Dan to Beersheba.”
11 Oo isna eray dambe wuu ugu jawaabi waayay Abneer, maxaa yeelay, wuu ka cabsanayay.
And for fear of Abner, Ish-bosheth did not dare to say another word to him.
12 Markaasaa Abneer wuxuu Daa'uud u soo diray wargeeyayaal magiciisa ku hadlaya, oo leh, War dhulka yaa leh? Oo wuxuu kaloo ku yidhi, Heshiis ila dhigo, anna gacan baan ku siinayaa, inaan kuu soo wada jeediyo reer binu Israa'iil oo dhan.
Then Abner sent messengers in his place to say to David, “To whom does the land belong? Make your covenant with me, and surely my hand will be with you to bring all Israel over to you.”
13 Markaasuu yidhi, Waa hagaag; heshiis baan kula dhiganayaa, laakiinse wax baan kaa doonayaa, taasuna waxaa weeyaan, markaad ii timaadid waa inaadan i hor iman adoo marka hore Miikaal oo ah ina Saa'uul i soo hor taaga mooyaane.
“Good,” replied David, “I will make a covenant with you. But there is one thing I require of you: Do not appear before me unless you bring Saul’s daughter Michal when you come to see me.”
14 Oo Daa'uudna wargeeyayaal buu u diray Iishboshed oo ahaa ina Saa'uul, isagoo leh, Ii keen naagtaydii Miikaal, oo aan ku guursaday boqol buuryo oo reer Falastiin.
Then David sent messengers to say to Ish-bosheth son of Saul, “Give me back my wife, Michal, whom I betrothed to myself for a hundred Philistine foreskins.”
15 Markaasaa Iishboshed rag u diray oo iyadii ka soo kexeeyey ninkeedii, kaasoo ahaa Faltii'eel ina Layish.
So Ish-bosheth sent and took Michal from her husband Paltiel son of Laish.
16 Markaasaa ninkeedii soo raacay iyadii, isagoo ooyaya intuu socday oo dhan, oo wuxuu iyadii daba socday tan iyo Baxuuriim. Markaasaa Abneer ku yidhi, War orod, oo iska noqo. Kolkaasuu iska noqday.
Her husband followed her, weeping all the way to Bahurim. Then Abner said to him, “Go back.” So he returned home.
17 Oo Abneerna wuxuu la arrinsaday odayaashii reer binu Israa'iil, oo ku yidhi, Waa hore waxaad doonayseen in Daa'uud boqor idiin noqdo.
Now Abner conferred with the elders of Israel and said, “In the past you sought David as your king.
18 Haddaba haatan sidii yeela, waayo, Rabbigu Daa'uud buu ka hadlay, oo yidhi, Addoonkayga Daa'uud gacantiisa ayaan dadkayga reer binu Israa'iil kaga badbaadin doonaa gacanta reer Falastiin iyo gacanta cadaawayaashooda oo dhanba.
Now take action, because the LORD has said to David, ‘Through My servant David I will save My people Israel from the hands of the Philistines and of all their enemies.’”
19 Oo Abneer wuxuu kaloo la hadlay reer Benyaamiin; oo weliba Abneer wuxuu Daa'uud ugu yimid Xebroon si uu ugu sheego waxa la wanaagsan reer binu Israa'iil oo dhan, iyo reer Benyaamiin oo dhanba.
Abner also spoke to the Benjamites and went to Hebron to tell David all that seemed good to Israel and to the whole house of Benjamin.
20 Saas aawadeed Abneer wuxuu Daa'uud ugu yimid Xebroon, labaatan nin baana la socday. Oo Daa'uudna diyaafad ayuu Abneer iyo raggii la socdayba u sameeyey.
When Abner and twenty of his men came to David at Hebron, David held a feast for them.
21 Markaasaa Abneer Daa'uud ku yidhi, Anigu waan kacayaa, waanan tegayaa, oo reer binu Israa'iil oo dhanna waan kuu soo wada ururin doonaa, boqorow, sayidkaygiiyow, inay axdi kula dhigtaan oo adna aad xukuntid in alla intii naftaadu doonayso. Markaasaa Daa'uud Abneer iska diray; oo isna nabad buu ku tegey.
Then Abner said to David, “Let me go at once, and I will gather all Israel to my lord the king, that they may make a covenant with you, and that you may rule over all that your heart desires.” So David dismissed Abner, and he went in peace.
22 Oo bal eeg, Daa'uud addoommadiisii iyo Yoo'aabba waxay ka yimaadeen duulaan, iyagoo dhac badan wada, laakiinse Abneer Daa'uud lama joogin Xebroon, waayo, wuu iska diray, oo isna nabad buu ku tegey.
Just then David’s soldiers and Joab returned from a raid, bringing with them a great plunder. But Abner was not with David in Hebron because David had sent him on his way in peace.
23 Oo markii Yoo'aab iyo ciidankii la jiray oo dhammu ay yimaadeen waxaa Yoo'aab loo sheegay, oo lagu yidhi, Waxaa boqorka u yimid Abneer ina Neer, oo isna wuu iska diray, markaasuu nabad ku tegey.
When Joab and all his troops arrived, he was informed, “Abner son of Ner came to see the king, who sent him on his way in peace.”
24 Markaasaa Yoo'aab boqorkii u yimid, oo ku yidhi, Maxaad samaysay? Bal eeg, Abneer baa kuu yimid, maxaad u dirtay oo uu u tegey?
So Joab went to the king and said, “What have you done? Look, Abner came to you. Why did you dismiss him? Now he is getting away!
25 Abneer oo ah ina Neer waad garanaysaa inuu kuugu yimid inuu ku khiyaaneeyo, iyo inuu ogaado bixiddaada iyo soo geliddaada, iyo weliba inuu sii ogaado waxaad samaysid oo dhanba.
Surely you realize that Abner son of Ner came to deceive you and to track your movements and all that you are doing.”
26 Yoo'aabna markuu Daa'uud ka soo baxay ayuu rag ka daba diray Abneer, oo waxay ka soo celiyeen ceelkii Siraah, laakiinse taas Daa'uud ma ogayn.
As soon as Joab had left David, he sent messengers after Abner, who brought him back from the well of Sirah; but David was unaware of it.
27 Oo markuu Abneer ku soo noqday Xebroon ayaa Yoo'aab gees ula baxay oo iridda la dhex galay si uu ula faqo, markaasuu caloosha ka dooxay si uu u dhinto, maxaa yeelay, dhiiggii walaalkiis Casaaheel ayuu daadshay.
When Abner returned to Hebron, Joab pulled him aside into the gateway, as if to speak to him privately, and there Joab stabbed him in the stomach. So Abner died on account of the blood of Joab’s brother Asahel.
28 Dabadeedna markuu Daa'uud taas maqlay ayuu yidhi, Aniga iyo boqortooyadayda midna eed kuma lahayn Rabbiga hortiisa xagga dhiigga Abneer ina Neer.
Afterward, David heard about this and said, “I and my kingdom are forever guiltless before the LORD concerning the blood of Abner son of Ner.
29 Yoo'aab madaxiisa ha saarnaado, iyo reerka aabbihiis, oo reer Yoo'aabna yaan laga waayin mid cudur dheecaan leh qaba, iyo mid baras qaba, iyo mid ul ku tukubaya, iyo mid seef lagu dilo, ama mid cunto la'.
May it whirl over the heads of Joab and the entire house of his father, and may the house of Joab never be without one having a discharge or skin disease, or one who leans on a staff or falls by the sword or lacks food.”
30 Sidaasay Yoo'aab iyo walaalkiis Abiishay u dileen Abneer, maxaa yeelay, wuxuu walaalkood Casaaheel ku dilay dagaalkii Gibecoon.
(Joab and his brother Abishai murdered Abner because he had killed their brother Asahel in the battle at Gibeon.)
31 Markaasaa Daa'uud wuxuu ku yidhi Yoo'aab iyo dadkii isaga la jiray oo dhan, Dharkiinna jeexjeexa oo dhar joonyad ah guntada, oo Abneer hortiisa ku baroorta. Oo Boqor Daa'uudna wuxuu raacay naxashkii.
Then David ordered Joab and all the people with him, “Tear your clothes, put on sackcloth, and mourn before Abner.” And King David himself walked behind the funeral bier.
32 Oo Abneer waxaa lagu aasay Xebroon, boqorkiina codkiisii kor buu u qaaday, oo qabrigii Abneer ku dul ooyay; oo dadkii oo dhammuna way wada ooyeen.
When they buried Abner in Hebron, the king wept aloud at Abner’s tomb, and all the people wept.
33 Oo boqorkiina wuxuu u baroortay Abneer, oo yidhi, Miyey habboon tahay in Abneer u dhinto sida nacas u dhinto oo kale?
And the king sang this lament for Abner: “Should Abner die the death of a fool?
34 Gacmahaagu ma xidhnayn, cagahaaguna ma dabranayn, Sida nin ugu dhaco dad dembi leh hortooda ayaad u dhacday. Markaasaa dadkii oo dhammu mar kale u ooyay isagii.
Your hands were not bound, your feet were not fettered. As a man falls before the wicked, so also you fell.” And all the people wept over him even more.
35 Markaasay dadkii oo dhammu yimaadeen oo damceen inay Daa'uud wax cunsiiyaan intii ay maalinnimada ahayd; laakiinse Daa'uud wuu dhaartay, oo yidhi, Ilaah taasoo kale ha igu sameeyo, iyo weliba tu ka sii badan, haddaan kibis dhadhansho, iyo wax kale toona, ilaa ay qorraxdu dhacdo.
Then all the people came and urged David to eat something while it was still day, but David took an oath, saying, “May God punish me, and ever so severely, if I taste bread or anything else before the sun sets!”
36 Markaasaa dadkii oo dhammu taas u fiirsadeen, wayna la wanaagsanayd, oo wax alla wixii boqorku sameeyey ayaa la wanaagsanaa dadkii oo dhan.
All the people took note and were pleased. In fact, everything the king did pleased them.
37 Sidaasay dadkii oo dhan iyo reer binu Israa'iil oo dhammu maalintaas u garteen inuusan boqorku doonaynin in Abneer oo ahaa ina Neer la dilo.
So on that day all the troops and all Israel were convinced that the king had no part in the murder of Abner son of Ner.
38 Oo boqorkii wuxuu addoommadiisii ku yidhi, War miyeydnaan ogayn maanta inuu reer binu Israa'iil ku dhex dhintay amiir iyo nin weyn?
Then the king said to his servants, “Do you not realize that a great prince has fallen today in Israel?
39 Oo anigu maanta in kastoo lay boqray, waan taag yarahay; oo nimankan ay Seruuyaah dhashay ayaa iga xoog badan. Kii shar sameeya Rabbigu ha ugu abaalgudo sida sharkiisu yahay.
And I am weak this day, though anointed as king, and these men, the sons of Zeruiah, are too fierce for me. May the LORD repay the evildoer according to his evil!”
