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.
There was a long war between those on the side of Saul and those on the side of David. David's side grew stronger, while Saul's side grew weaker.
2 Oo Daa'uudna wiilal baa ugu dhashay Xebroon. Curadkiisu wuxuu ahaa Amnoon, oo waxaa dhashay Axiinocam tii reer Yesreceel.
David's sons born at Hebron were: Amnon (firstborn), by Ahinoam from 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.
Chileab (second), by Abigail, Nabal's widow from Carmel; Absalom (third), by 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.
Adonijah (fourth), by Haggith; Shephatiah (fifth), by Abital;
5 Kan lixaadna wuxuu ahaa Yitrecaam, oo waxaa dhashay Ceglaah oo Daa'uud u dhaxday. Intaasu waxay Daa'uud ugu dhasheen Xebroon.
Ithream (sixth), by David's wife Eglah. These were the sons born to David at Hebron.
6 Intii ay reer Saa'uul iyo reer Daa'uud dagaallamayeen ayaa Abneer aad ugu xoogaystay reerkii Saa'uul.
Abner had been strengthening his position among the supporters of Saul's dynasty during the war between those on the side of Saul and those on the side of David.
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?
Saul had a concubine named Rizpah, daughter of Aiah. One day Ishbosheth accused Abner, saying “Why have you been sleeping 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 got extremely angry at Ishbosheth accusation. “Am I a dog's head siding with Judah?” he replied. “Right up to the present day I have been loyal to your dynasty—to your father Saul, and to his brothers and friends. I haven't betrayed you to David. But now you dare to accuse me of sinning 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,
So now may God punish me severely if I don't help David achieve what the Lord has promised 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.
I will hand over the kingdom from Saul's dynasty, and help set up David's rule over Israel and Judah, from Dan to Beersheba.”
11 Oo isna eray dambe wuu ugu jawaabi waayay Abneer, maxaa yeelay, wuu ka cabsanayay.
Ishbosheth didn't dare to say anything else to Abner because he was frightened of 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 to speak for him to David, saying, “Who does the country belong to anyway? Make an agreement with me, and you can be sure I'll be on your side to have all of Israel follow 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.
“Fine,” David replied, “I'll make an agreement with you. But I have one condition: I won't see you unless you bring Saul's daughter Michal when you come.”
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 tell Ishbosheth, son of Saul, “Give me back my wife Michal—I paid a dowry for her of one hundred Philistine foreskins.”
15 Markaasaa Iishboshed rag u diray oo iyadii ka soo kexeeyey ninkeedii, kaasoo ahaa Faltii'eel ina Layish.
Ishbosheth sent for her and took her away 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 to the town of Bahurim, crying as he went. Then Abner ordered him, “Go back home!” So he went 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.
Abner spoke with the elders of Israel and said, “For a while now you have wanted to have 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 is the time to do it, because the Lord promised David, ‘Through my servant David I am going to save my people Israel from the Philistines and 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 talked to the people of Benjamin, and went to Hebron to let David know everything that the Israelites and the whole tribe of Benjamin had decided to do.
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.
Abner came with twenty of his men to see David at Hebron, and David prepared 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.
Abner told David, “Let me go immediately and summon all of Israel to come together for my lord the king, so they may make an agreement with you, and that you may rule over all you would wish.” Then David sent Abner safely on his way.
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.
Soon after Joab and David's men came back from a raid, bringing with them a large amount of plunder. However, Abner wasn't there with David in Hebron because David had already sent him safely 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 the army that was with him arrived, he was told, “Abner, son of Ner, came to see the king, who sent him safely on his way.”
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?
Joab went to the king and asked, “What do you think you're doing? Here's Abner, who came to see you. Why on earth did you send him on his way? Now he's got clean 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.
You do see that Abner, son of Ner, came here to trick you, to spy on the movements of your army, and to find out everything you're 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.
When Joab left David, he sent messengers after Abner. They met up with him at the well of Sirah and brought him back, but David didn't know anything about 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 arrived back in Hebron, Joab took him aside into the town gatehouse as if he was going to talk with him in private. But Joab stabbed him in the belly, killing him in revenge for killing 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.
When David heard about this later he said, “I and my kingdom are totally innocent before the Lord regarding the death 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 the guilt for his death fall on Joab and his family! May Joab's descendants always have someone who has running sores or leprosy or is crippled or who is killed by the sword or who is starving.”
30 Sidaasay Yoo'aab iyo walaalkiis Abiishay u dileen Abneer, maxaa yeelay, wuxuu walaalkood Casaaheel ku dilay dagaalkii Gibecoon.
(This is why Joab and Abishai his brother killed Abner, because he had killed their brother Asahel during 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 everyone who was there, “Tear your clothes, put on sackcloth, and mourn for Abner.” King David himself followed the body as it was carried to the grave.
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.
They buried Abner in Hebron, and the king cried loudly at the grave, along with all the people.
33 Oo boqorkiina wuxuu u baroortay Abneer, oo yidhi, Miyey habboon tahay in Abneer u dhinto sida nacas u dhinto oo kale?
The king sang this lament for Abner: “Did Abner deserve to die like a criminal?
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 tied together, your feet were not in shackles. But just like a murderer's victim, you too were killed.” All the people cried for 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 people came to David and tried to persuade him to have something to eat during the day. But David swore an oath, saying, “May God punish me severely if I eat bread or anything else before sunset!”
36 Markaasaa dadkii oo dhammu taas u fiirsadeen, wayna la wanaagsanayd, oo wax alla wixii boqorku sameeyey ayaa la wanaagsanaa dadkii oo dhan.
Everyone saw this and thought it was the right thing to do, in the same way that they thought everything the king did was the right thing to do.
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.
That day everyone in Judah and throughout Israel realized that David had not ordered Abner's murder.
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 officers, “Don't you recognize that a commander and a truly great man has fallen in Israel today?
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.
I am weak right now, even though I'm anointed as king and these men, the sons of Zeruiah, are too powerful for me. But may the Lord repay the evil man according to the evil he has done.”
