1 Kings 2
1 When David [knew that he] was about to die, he gave these final instructions to his son Solomon:
Haddaba waxaa soo dhowaaday wakhtigii Daa'uud dhiman lahaa; oo wuxuu amray wiilkiisii Sulaymaan oo ku yidhi,
2 “I am about to die [EUP], like everyone else on earth does. Be courageous and conduct yourself as an adult should.
Anigu waxaan marayaa jidka dadka dhulka oo dhan; haddaba xoog yeelo, oo raganimadaada muuji,
3 Do what Yahweh our God tells you to do. Conduct yourself as he wants you to do. Obey all of his laws and commands and precepts and instructions that are written in the laws that Moses [gave us]. Do this in order that you will prosper in all that you do and wherever you go.
oo Rabbiga Ilaahaaga ahna amarkiisa xaji, si aad jidadkiisa ugu socoto, oo aad u dhawrto qaynuunnadiisa, iyo amarradiisa, iyo xukummadiisa, iyo markhaatifurkiisa, si waafaqsan waxa ku qoran sharciga Muuse inaad ku liibaantid waxa aad samaynaysid oo dhan, iyo meel kastoo aad u jeesatoba;
4 If you continually do that, Yahweh will do what he promised me: He said, ‘If your descendants do what I tell them to do, and faithfully obey my commands with all their inner beings, they will always be [LIT] the ones who will rule [MTY] Israel.’
inuu Rabbigu oofiyo eraygiisii uu igaga hadlay, isagoo leh, Carruurtaadu hadday jidkooda dhawraan, oo ay qalbigooda oo dhan iyo naftooda oo dhanba si run ah hortayda ugu socdaan, waayi maysid nin carshiga dalka Israa'iil ku fadhiista.
5 “There is something else [that I want you to do]. You know what Joab did to me. He killed my two army commanders, Abner and Amasa. He murdered them violently [MTY] during a time of peace, pretending that it was a time of war. Those two men (were innocent/had not done what was wrong). But Joab [killed them and] their blood to stain his belt and his sandals.
Oo weliba waad og tahay wixii uu Yoo'aab oo ay Seruuyaah dhashay igu sameeyey, ee uu ku sameeyey labadii sirkaal oo ciidanka dalka Israa'iil, kuwaasoo ahaa Abneer ina Neer, iyo Camaasaa ina Yeter, ee uu labadaba dilay, iyo inuu wakhtiga nabadda dhiiggii dagaalka daadiyey, oo uu dhiiggii dagaalkana mariyey dhex-xidhkiisa dhexda ugu xidhnaa, iyo kabahiisa cagaha ugu jiray.
6 Because you are wise, do to him what you think is best [for you to do], but do not allow him to become old [MTY] and then die [IDM] peacefully. (Sheol h7585)
Haddaba wixii kula wanaagsan samee, oo cirrada madaxiisu yaanay nabad ku gelin xabaasha. (Sheol h7585)
7 “But be kind to the sons of Barzillai, the man from [the] Gilead [region], and be sure that they always have enough food to eat [MTY]. Do that because Barzillai helped me when I was running away from your older brother Absalom.
Laakiinse u roonow wiilasha Barsillay kan reer Gilecaad, oo iyagu ha noqdeen kuwa ka mid ah kuwa miiskaaga wax ka cuna, waayo, saasay iigu yimaadeen markaan walaalkaa Absaaloom ka cararay.
8 Also, [you remember] Gera’s son Shimei from Bahurim [town] in the area where the descendants of Benjamin live. [You know what he did to me]. He cursed me terribly on the day I [left Jerusalem and] went to Mahanaim [town]. But when he later came down to see me at the Jordan [River], I solemnly promised, while Yahweh listened [MTY], that I would not cause him to be executed.
Oo bal eeg, waxaa kula jooga Shimcii ina Geeraa, oo ah reer Benyaamiinka deggan Baxuuriim, kaasoo habaar xun igu habaaray maalintii aan Maxanayim tegey; laakiinse wuu igaga hor yimid Webi Urdun, oo i soo dhoweeyey, oo anna waxaan isaga ugu dhaartay oo ku idhi, Seef kugu dili maayo.
9 But now you must [LIT] surely punish him. You are a wise man, so you will know what you should do to him. He is an old man [MTY], but be sure that he [loses/sheds] a lot of blood when you kill him [MTY].” (Sheol h7585)
Sidaas daraaddeed inuu eedlaawe yahay ha u qaadan, waayo, waxaad tahay nin xigmad leh, oo waad garan doontaa waxa kuu eg inaad ku samayso, oo waa inaad cirrada madaxiisa dhiig xabaasha la gelisaa. (Sheol h7585)
10 Then David died [EUP] and was buried in [that part of Jerusalem which was called] ‘The City of David’.
Oo Daa'uudna wuu dhintay oo la seexday awowayaashiis, oo waxaa lagu aasay magaaladii Daa'uud.
11 David had been the king of Israel for 40 years: He ruled for seven years in Hebron and for 33 years in Jerusalem.
Oo Daa'uudna wuxuu reer binu Israa'iil boqor u ahaa afartan sannadood; toddoba sannadood ayuu Xebroon ka taliyey, saddex iyo soddon sannadoodna ayuu Yeruusaalem ka taliyey.
12 Solomon became the ruler/king [MTY] to take the place of his father David and took control of all of the kingdom.
Oo Sulaymaanna wuxuu ku fadhiistay carshigii aabbihiis Daa'uud, oo boqortooyadiisiina way sii dhisnaatay.
13 [One day] Adonijah came to Solomon’s mother Bathsheba. She said to him, “Have you come because you want things to go well?” He replied, “Yes.”
Markaasaa Adoniiyaah oo ay Haggiid dhashay u yimid Batshebac oo ahayd Sulaymaan hooyadiis. Oo iyana waxay ku tidhi, War ma nabad baad ku timid? Isna wuxuu yidhi, Haah, nabad baan ku imid.
14 But then he said, “I have something to ask you to do.” She said, “Tell me [what you want me to do].”
Oo weliba wuxuu iyadii ku yidhi, Muraad baan kaa leeyahay, iyana waxay tidhi, Bal ii sheeg.
15 He said, “You know that all the Israeli people expected me to be their king [because I am David’s oldest surviving son]. But that did not happen. Instead, my [younger] brother became king, because that is what Yahweh wanted.
Markaasuu ku yidhi, Waad og tahay inaan boqortooyada lahaa, oo ay dadkii dalka Israa'iil oo dhammu fiiro ii lahaayeen inaan boqor u noqdo, habase yeeshee boqortooyadii way rogmatay, oo waxaa yeeshay walaalkay, waayo, xagga Rabbiga buu ka helay.
16 Now I have one thing that I ask you to do. Please do not refuse to do it.” She replied, “Tell me [what you want me to do].”
Haddaba wax baan ku weyddiisanayaa, hana ii diidin. Iyana waxay tidhi, Bal ii sheeg.
17 He said, “Please ask King Solomon to give to me Abishag, the woman from Shunem [town], to be my wife. [I am sure that] he will not refuse.”
Markaasuu yidhi, Waan ku baryayaaye, iila hadal Boqor Sulaymaan inuu i siiyo Abiishag tan reer Shuuneem aan guursadee, (waayo, Maya, ku odhan maayo.)
18 Bathsheba replied, “Okay, I will speak to the king for you.”
Markaasaa Batshebac waxay tidhi, Waa hagaag, boqorka waan kuula hadli doonaa.
19 So Bathsheba went to King Solomon, to tell him what Adonijah wanted. The king got up [from his throne] and went to greet her and bowed down to her. Then he sat on his throne again and asked someone to bring a chair for her. So she sat down at the king’s right side.
Sidaas daraaddeed Batshebac waxay u tagtay Boqor Sulaymaan inay ula hadasho Adoniiyaah. Boqorkiina wuu u sara joogsaday inuu iyada soo dhoweeyo, wuuna u foororsaday iyadii, markaasuu carshigiisii ku fadhiistay, oo wuxuu amray in carshi loo dhigo hooyadiis, markaasay midigtiisa fadhiisatay.
20 Then she said, “I have one small thing which I want you to do; please do not say that you will not do it.” The king replied, “Mother, what do you want? I will not refuse you.”
Kolkaasay tidhi, Wax yar baan kaa baryayaaye, hana ii diidin. Boqorkiina wuxuu ku yidhi, Hooyoy, ii sheeg, waayo, kuu diidi maayo.
21 She said, “Allow Abishag to be given to your [older] brother Adonijah to be his wife.”
Markaasay tidhi, Abiishag tan reer Shuuneem ha la siiyo walaalkaa Adoniiyaah ha guursadee.
22 The king replied [angrily], “What? Are you requesting me to give Abishag to Adonijah? [Does he want me] to allow him to rule the kingdom, too? Because he is my older brother, [does he think that he should be the king]? Does he think that Abiathar should be the priest [instead of Zadok], and that Joab [should be the army commander instead of Benaiah] because they supported him [when he tried to become the king]?”
Kolkaasaa Boqor Sulaymaan hooyadiis ugu jawaabay, Abiishag tan reer Shuuneem maxaad Adoniiyaah ugu doonaysaa? Haddaba boqortooyadana u doon, waayo, isagu waa walaalkay iga weyn, u doon isaga, iyo wadaadka Aabyaataar, iyo Yoo'aab oo ay Seruuyaah dhashay.
23 Then Solomon solemnly promised, requesting Yahweh to listen, “I wish God would strike me and kill me if I do not cause Adonijah to be executed for requesting this!
Markaasaa Boqor Sulaymaan Rabbiga ku dhaartay, oo yidhi, Hadalkan uu Adoniiyaah ku hadlay hadduusan naftiisa ka gees noqon, Ilaah ha igu sameeyo saas iyo si ka sii badanba.
24 Yahweh has appointed me to be the king and placed me here to rule [MTY] as my father David did. He has promised that my descendants [MTY] will be the kings of Israel. So just as surely as Yahweh lives, I solemnly promise that Adonijah will be executed today!”
Haddaba waxaan ku dhaartay nolosha Rabbigii xoogga ii yeelay, oo igu fadhiisiyey carshigii aabbahay Daa'uud, oo reerka iigu yeelay siduu iigu ballanqaaday, hubaal Adoniiyaah maanta waa la dilayaa.
25 So King Solomon gave orders to Benaiah to [go and] kill Adonijah, and Benaiah did that.
Markaasaa Boqor Sulaymaan u diray Benaayaah ina Yehooyaadaac, oo isna wuu dilay, Adoniiyaahna waa dhintay.
26 Then Solomon said to Abiathar the priest, “Go to Anathoth [town], to your land there. You deserve to be killed, but I will not execute you now, because you were the one who [supervised the men who] carried Yahweh’s Sacred Chest for David my father, and you endured all the troubles that my father endured.”
Oo boqorkiina wuxuu wadaadkii Aabyaataar ahaa ku yidhi, Waxaad tagtaa Canaatood iyo ilaa beerahaagii, waayo, waxaad istaahishaa in lagu dilo, laakiinse haatan ku dili maayo, waayo, aabbahay Daa'uud waad ku hor sidi jirtay sanduuqii Sayidka Rabbiga ah, oo waxaa lagugu dhibi jiray wax kasta oo aabbahay lagu dhibi jiray.
27 So Solomon dismissed Abiathar from being the priest of Yahweh. By doing that he caused to happen what Yahweh had said [many years previously] at Shiloh, [that some day he would get rid] of the descendants [MTY] of Eli.
Sidaasuu Sulaymaan Aabyaataar uga eryay wadaadnimadii Rabbiga inuu oofiyo Eraygii Rabbiga ee uu kaga hadlay reerka Ceelii xagga Shiiloh.
28 Joab had not supported Absalom [when he tried to become the king], but he had supported Adonijah. So when Joab heard what had happened, he ran to the Sacred Tent, and he grasped the projections on the corners of the altar, [because he knew that no one would kill him there].
Markaasaa warkii u yimid Yoo'aab, waayo, Yoo'aab wuxuu raacay Adoniiyaah in kastoo uusan raacin Absaaloom. Kolkaasaa Yoo'aab u cararay Teendhadii Rabbiga, oo qabsaday geesihii meeshii allabariga.
29 When someone told Solomon that Joab had run to the Sacred Tent and was standing alongside the altar, Solomon told Benaiah, “Go and execute Joab.”
Markaasaa taas loo soo sheegay Boqor Sulaymaan, oo lagu yidhi, Yoo'aab Teendhadii Rabbiga ayuu u cararay, oo wuxuu ag jooga meeshii allabariga. Dabadeedna Sulaymaan wuxuu diray Benaayaah ina Yehooyaadaac oo wuxuu ku yidhi, Tag oo soo dil.
30 So Benaiah went to the Sacred Tent and said to Joab, “The king commands you to come out!” But Joab replied, “No, I will die here.” So Benaiah went back to the king and reported [what he had said to Joab, and] what Joab had replied.
Markaasaa Benaayaah Teendhadii Rabbiga soo galay oo ku yidhi, Boqorkii wuxuu leeyahay, Soo bax. Isna wuxuu yidhi, Maya, laakiinse halkanaan ku dhimanayaa. Oo Benaayaah haddana boqorkii buu u war keenay oo ku yidhi, Yoo'aab saasuu yidhi, oo saasuu iigu jawaabay.
31 The king replied to him, “Do what he has requested. Kill him and bury his body. If you do that, my descendants [MTY] and I will no longer be punished for what Joab did when he killed [MTY] two men who (were innocent/had not done anything that is wrong).
Markaasaa boqorkii wuxuu ku yidhi, Siduu kugu yidhi yeel, oo dil isaga, oo soo xabaal, inaad aniga iyo reerka aabbahayba naga dul qaaddid dhiiggii Yoo'aab sababla'aanta ku daadiyey.
32 But Yahweh will punish [MTY] Joab for attacking and killing Abner, the commander of the army of Israel, and Amasa, the commander of the army of Judah, two men who were more righteous and better [DOU] men than he is. My father David did not even know that Joab [was planning to murder them].
Oo Rabbiguna dhiiggiisa wuxuu ku celin doonaa madaxiisa, maxaa yeelay, wuxuu dilay laba nin oo isaga ka xaq badan oo ka wanaagsan, seef buuna ku dilay, aabbahay Daa'uudna taas waxba kama ogayn, oo kuwaasuna waxay ahaayeen Abneer ina Neer oo sirkaal u ahaa ciidanka dalka Israa'iil, iyo Camaasaa ina Yeter oo sirkaal u ahaa ciidanka dalka Yahuudah.
33 Joab and his descendants will be punished [IDM] forever for his murdering Abner and Amasa. But things will forever go well for David’s descendants [MTY] who rule [MTY] as King David did.”
Saas aawadeed dhiiggoodii wuxuu ku noqon doonaa madaxa Yoo'aab, iyo madaxa farcankiisa weligiis, laakiinse Daa'uud, iyo farcankiisa, iyo reerkiisa, iyo carshigiisaba nabad baa xagga Rabbiga uga ahaan doonta weligeed.
34 So Benaiah went [into the Sacred Tent] and killed Joab. Joab was buried on his property in the desert [part of Judah].
Markaasaa Benaayaah ina Yehooyaadaac tegey, oo intuu ku kor dhacay ayuu dilay, oo waxaa lagu aasay gurigiisii cidlada ku yiil.
35 Then the king appointed Benaiah to be the commander of the army instead of Joab, and he appointed Zadok to be the priest instead of Abiathar.
Markaasaa boqorkii wuxuu meeshiisii ku beddelay oo ciidankii madax uga dhigay Benaayaah ina Yehooyaadaac. Oo meeshii Aabyaataarna wuxuu ku beddelay wadaadkii Saadooq ahaa.
36 Then the king sent [a messenger] to summon Shimei, and the king said to him, “Build a house for yourself here in Jerusalem. Remain there and do not leave the city to go anywhere.
Markaasaa boqorkii u cid diray oo u yeedhay Shimcii, oo wuxuu ku yidhi, Yeruusaalem guri ka dhiso, oo halkaas iska deg, oo mar dambe meella ha uga bixin.
37 Be sure that the day that you leave Jerusalem and go across the Kidron Brook, you will be executed, and it will be (your own fault/what you deserve).”
Waayo, maalintii aad baxdo oo aad durdurka Qidroon ka gudubto, bal ogow hubaal inaad dhimanayso; dhiiggaaguna madaxaaguu ku oolli doonaa.
38 Shimei replied, “Your Majesty, what you say is good. I will do what you have said.” So Shimei remained in Jerusalem for several years.
Markaasaa Shimcii boqorkii ku yidhi, Hadalkaasu waa wanaagsan yahay, oo sidaad tidhi, boqorow, sayidkaygiiyow, waan yeeli doonaa, anigoo addoonkaaga ah. Oo Shimciina wakhti dheer ayuu Yeruusaalem degganaa.
39 But three years later, two of Shimei’s slaves ran away. They went to stay with Maacah’s son Achish, the king of Gath [city]. When someone told Shimei that they were in Gath,
Oo saddex sannadood dabadood, laba addoon oo Shimcii kuwiis ah ayaa u cararay xagga Aakiish ina Macakaah oo ahaa boqorkii Gad.
40 he put a saddle on his donkey and [got on it and] went to Gath. He found his slaves staying with King Achish and brought them back home.
Markaasaa Shimcii kacay, oo dameerkiisii kooraystay, oo wuxuu u tegey Aakiish oo Gad jooga inuu addoommadiisii ka doonto; oo Shimcii wuu tegey oo addoommadiisii ka soo kaxaystay Gad.
41 But someone told King Solomon that Shimei had gone from Jerusalem to Gath and had returned.
Markaasaa Sulaymaan waxaa loo soo sheegay in Shimcii Yeruusaalem ka kacay, oo uu Gad tegey, oo uu haddana soo noqday.
42 So the king sent [a soldier] to summon Shimei and said to him, “I told you to solemnly promise, knowing that Yahweh [MTY] was listening, that you must not leave Jerusalem. I told you [RHQ], ‘Be sure that if you ever leave Jerusalem, you will be executed.’ And you replied [RHQ] to me, ‘What you have said is good; I will do what you have said.’
Markaasaa boqorkii u cid diray oo Shimcii u yeedhay, oo wuxuu ku yidhi, War miyaanan Rabbiga kugu dhaarin, oo aanan hore kuugu sii sheegin, oo aanan kugu odhan, Ogow oo hubso, inaad xaqiiqa dhimanaysid maalintii aad baxdid oo aad meel kale u kacdid? Oo adna sow iguma aadan odhan, Hadalkaan maqlay waa wanaagsan yahay?
43 So why did you not do what you solemnly promised to Yahweh? Why did you disobey what I commanded you?”
Haddaba maxaad u dhawri weyday dhaartii Rabbiga iyo amarkii aan kugu amray?
44 The king also said to Shimei, “You know all the evil things that you did to my father David. So Yahweh will now punish you for the evil things that you did.
Weliba boqorkii wuxuu Shimcii ku yidhi, Waad wada og tahay sharka qalbigaaga ku jira oo aad aabbahay Daa'uud ku samaysay. Sidaas daraaddeed Rabbigu sharkaagii wuxuu ku soo celin doonaa madaxaaga.
45 But Yahweh will bless me, and he will enable David’s descendants [MTY] to rule forever.”
Laakiinse anoo Boqor Sulaymaan ahu waan barakaysnaan doonaa, oo carshiga Daa'uudna weligiis wuu ku sii dhisnaan doonaa Rabbiga hortiisa.
46 Then the king gave an order to Benaiah, and he went and killed Shimei. So Solomon was completely in control of the kingdom.
Sidaas daraaddeed ayaa boqorkii amray Benaayaah ina Yehooyaadaac; kolkaasuu isna tegey oo dilay Shimcii, wuuna dhintay. Oo boqortooyadiina waxay ku sii dhisnaatay gacantii Sulaymaan.
