Samuu'Eel Labaad 17

1 Oo weliba Axiitofel wuxuu Absaaloom ku yidhi, I daa aan laba iyo toban kun oo nin doortee oo aan caawa Daa'uud eryadee,

Moreover Ahithophel said to Absalom, "Let me now choose twelve thousand men, and I will arise and pursue after David tonight.

2 oo waxaan u imanayaa intuu daallan yahay oo gacmihiisu taag daranyihiin, markaasaan cabsiinayaa, oo dadka isaga la jira oo dhammuna way carari doonaan. Markaasaan dili doonaa boqorka oo keliya.

And I will catch up with him while he is weary and discouraged, and will thow him into a panic, and all the people who are with him will flee. And I will strike the king alone.

3 Oo dadka oo dhanna waan kuu soo celin doonaa, oo ninka aad doonaysaa waa sidii iyadoo ay dhammaan soo wada noqdeen; markaasay dadka oo dhammu nabad ku noolaan doonaan.

Then all the people will come back to you, as a bride returns to her husband. You seek the life of only one man; then all the people will be in peace."

4 Oo hadalkaasuna aad buu uga farxiyey Absaaloom iyo odayaashii reer binu Israa'iil oo dhan.

And the advice seemed good to Absalom and all the elders of Israel.

5 Markaasaa Absaaloom wuxuu yidhi, Bal haddana iigu yeedh Xuushay kii reer Arkii, oo bal aan maqalno wuxuu isagu leeyahay.

Then Absalom said, "Now call Hushai the Archite, and let's hear what he says."

6 Markaasaa Xuushay u yimid Absaaloom, oo Absaaloomna intuu la hadlay ayuu ku yidhi, Axiitofel sidan buu ku hadlay. Haddaba siduu nagu yidhi ma yeelnaa? Haddii kale, adigu hadal.

When Hushai came to Absalom, Absalom said to him, "Ahithophel has spoken thus. Should we follow his advice? And if not, speak up."

7 Kolkaasaa Xuushay wuxuu Absaaloom ku yidhi, Axiitofel talada uu markan ku taliyey ma fiicna.

So Hushai said to Absalom, "The counsel that Ahithophel has given this time is not good."

8 Oo weliba Xuushay wuxuu yidhi oo kale, Waad taqaannaa aabbahaa iyo raggiisaba inay rag xoog leh yihiin, iyo in maankoodu u kulul yahay sidii orso ilmaheedii duurka laga xaday, oo aabbahaana waa nin dagaalyahan ah, oo dadkana meel la baryi maayo.

Moreover, Hushai said, "You know your father and his men, that they are warriors, and that they are as fierce as a bear robbed of her cubs in the wild, or a sow snared in the wild. Your father is expert in war, and will not camp with the people.

9 Oo bal eeg, hadda wuxuu ku dhuumanayaa bohol, ama meel kale; oo markii qaarkood la dilo marka hore, ku alla kii maqla ayaa odhan doona, Ciidammadii Absaaloom raacay waa la laayay.

Look, he is now hidden in some pit, or in some other place. And it will happen when some of them have fallen first, that whoever hears it will say, 'There is a slaughter among the people who follow Absalom.'

10 Oo xataa kan xoog badan, ee qalbigiisu yahay sida qalbiga libaaxa, wuu dhalaali doonaa dhammaantiis; waayo, reer binu Israa'iil oo dhammu way og yihiin in aabbahaa yahay nin xoog badan, iyo in kuwa isaga la jira ay yihiin rag daran.

Then even the one who is brave, whose heart is like the heart of a lion, will utterly melt; for all Israel knows that your father is a warrior, and those who are with him are brave men.

11 Laakiinse anigu waxaan ku talinayaa in reer binu Israa'iil oo dhammu adiga kuu soo shiraan oo ay ka yimaadaan tan iyo Daan iyo ilaa Bi'ir Shebac, oo ay u soo bataan sida cammuudda badda agteeda taal; oo aad adiga qudhaadu dagaalka gashid.

But, I strongly advise as follows: Let all Israel be gathered to you from Dan to Beersheba, as the sand that is by the sea in number, and that you personally go into battle.

12 Sidaasaynu isaga ugu iman doonnaa meesha laga helo, oo waxaynu ugu soo degi doonnaa sida dharabku dhulka ugu soo dego oo kale; oo isaga iyo dadka la socda oo dhanba xataa mid qudha ka reebi mayno.

So we will come upon him in some place where he can be found, and we will fall on him as the dew falls on the ground, and of him and all the men with him not one will be left.

13 Oo weliba hadduu magaalo galo, markaasay reer binu Israa'iil oo dhammu xadhko soo qaadan doonaan, oo waxaynu magaalada u jiidaynaa xagga webiga oo waan ku ridaynaa, ilaa halkaas laga waayo xataa dhagax yar.

Moreover, if he withdraws into a city, then all Israel will take up ropes to that city, and we will drag it into the riverbed, until there isn't one pebble to be found there."

14 Markaasaa Absaaloom iyo raggii reer binu Israa'iil oo dhammu waxay yidhaahdeen, Xuushay kii reer Arkii taladiisu way ka wanaagsan tahay taladii Axiitofel. Waayo, Rabbigu wuxuu ka dhigay in laga adkaado taladii wanaagsanayd oo Axiitofel, si Rabbigu Absaaloom shar ugu soo dejiyo.

Then Absalom and all Israel said, "The counsel of Hushai the Archite is better than the counsel of Ahithophel." For the LORD had commanded that Ahithophel's counsel should be defeated, so that that the LORD could bring Absalom to ruin.

15 Markaasaa Xuushay wuxuu ku yidhi wadaaddadii ahaa Saadooq iyo Aabyaataar, Axiitofel saas iyo saas buu ula taliyey Absaaloom iyo odayaashii reer binu Israa'iil, oo anna saas iyo saas baan ula taliyey.

Then Hushai said to Zadok and to Abiathar the priests, "Here is the council Ahithophel gave Absalom and the elders of Israel, and here is what I counseled.

16 Sidaas daraaddeed haddiiba u cid dira, oo Daa'uud u war geeya, oo waxaad ku tidhaahdaan, Caawa ha ku baryin meelaha loogu gudbo cidlada, laakiinse si alla si aad yeeshaba ka gudub; yaan adiga iyo dadka kula socda oo dhanba la wada liqine, boqorow.

Now therefore send quickly and tell David, saying, 'Do not stay the night at the fords of the wilderness, but by all means pass over. Otherwise the king and all the people who are with him will be swallowed up.'"

17 Haddaba Yoonaataan iyo Axiimacas ma ay karin inay magaalada bayaan u soo galaan, sidaas daraaddeed waxay joogeen Ceyn Rogeel, oo gabadh addoon ah ayaa intay u tagtay wax u sheegtay; oo iyana intay tageen ayay boqor Daa'uud u soo warrameen.

Now Jonathan and Ahimaaz were staying at En Rogel, and a female servant was to go and tell them, and they would go and inform king David. For they were not to be seen going into the city.

18 Laakiinse wiil baa arkay iyagii, oo wuxuu u soo sheegay Absaaloom, oo iyana labadoodiiba haddiiba way carareen, oo waxay yimaadeen nin Baxuuriim deggan gurigiis oo barxadda ceel ku leh; oo iyana halkaasay ku dhaadhaceen.

But a young man saw them and told Absalom. So they both departed quickly and reached the house of a man in Bahurim who had a well in his courtyard, and they went down into it.

19 Oo naagtiina ceelka afkiisii bay wax ku gogoshay, oo waxay ku dul firdhisay hadhuudh la tumay; oo waxbana lagama ogaan.

And the woman took a covering and spread it over the top of the well and scattered some grain on it, so that nothing could be noticed.

20 Oo addoommadii Absaaloom naagtii bay gurigii ugu yimaadeen; oo waxay ku yidhaahdeen, Awaye Axiimacas iyo Yoonaataan? Markaasaa naagtii waxay ku tidhi, War waxay ka gudbeen togga biyaha. Oo iyana markay doondooneen oo ay heli waayeen ayay ku noqdeen Yeruusaalem.

Then Absalom's servants came to the woman at the house, and they asked, "Where are Ahimaaz and Jonathan?" And the woman said to them, "They have crossed the brook of water." And when they had searched and could not find them, they returned to Jerusalem.

21 Oo markay tageen dabadeed ayay ceelkii ka soo baxeen, oo ay tageen, oo ay Boqor Daa'uud u soo warrameen; oo waxay Daa'uud ku yidhaahdeen, War ka kaca, oo haddiiba biyaha gudba, waayo, Axiitofel sidaasuu talo kaa gees ah ugu taliyey.

It came about after they had left that they climbed out of the well, and left and told king David. And they said to him, "Get up and cross quickly over the water, for Ahithophel has given such and such counsel against you."

22 Markaasaa Daa'uud iyo dadkii isaga la jiray oo dhammu kaceen, oo waxay ka gudbeen Webi Urdun; oo markii waagii baryay ma jirin mid iyagii ah oo aan Webi Urdun ka gudbin.

Then David and all the people who were with him got up and they crossed the Jordan. By dawn there was no one left who had not crossed the Jordan.

23 Oo Axiitofelna markuu arkay inaan taladiisii la raacin ayuu dameerkii kooraystay, oo magaaladiisuu tegey, oo intuu reerkiisii la dardaarmay, ayuu isdeldelay; wuuna dhintay, oo waxaa lagu aasay qabrigii aabbihiis.

Now when Ahithophel saw that his counsel was not followed, he saddled his donkey and went up to his home in his city. Then he set his house in order and hanged himself, and he died and was buried in the tomb of his father.

24 Oo Daa'uudna wuxuu yimid Maxanayim. Absaaloomna wuxuu ka soo gudbay Webi Urdun, isagoo wata raggii reer binu Israa'iil oo dhan.

Then David came to Mahanaim. And Absalom crossed the Jordan, he and all Israel with him.

25 Oo Absaaloomna wuxuu ciidankii madax uga dhigay Camaasaa, oo Yoo'aab wuu ka beddelay. Haddaba Camaasaa waxaa dhalay nin reer binu Israa'iil ah oo magiciisa la odhan jiray Yitraa, oo wuxuu qabay Abiigayil oo ay Naaxaash dhashay, oo waxay la dhalatay Seruuyaah oo ahayd Yoo'aab hooyadiis.

And Absalom had put Amasa over the army in place of of Joab. Now Amasa was the son of a man whose name was Jether the Ishmaelite, who had married Abigail the daughter of Jesse, sister to Zeruiah, Joab's mother.

26 Markaasaa Absaaloom iyo reer binu Israa'iil waxay soo degeen dalkii Gilecaad.

So Israel and Absalom camped in the land of Gilead.

27 Markii Daa'uud yimid Maxanayim waxaa u yimid Shobii oo ahaa ina Naaxaash ee ahaa reer Cammoonkii degganaa Rabbaah, iyo Maakiir oo ahaa ina Cammii'eel ee ahaa reer Loo Debaar, iyo Barsillay oo ahaa reer Gilecaadkii degganaa Rogeliim,

Now it happened when David came to Mahanaim, Shobi the son of Nahash from Rabbah of the people of Ammon, Makir the son of Ammiel of Lo Debar, and Barzillai the Gileadite of Rogelim,

28 oo waxay u keeneen gogol, iyo fijaanno, iyo weelal dhoobo ah, iyo sarreen, iyo shaciir, iyo bur, iyo salool, iyo atar, iyo misir, iyo digir,

brought couches for sleeping, and covers, and basins, and pottery utensils, and wheat, and barley, and meal, and parched grain, and beans, and lentils,

29 iyo malab, iyo subag, iyo ido, iyo faar lo'aad, oo waxay waxaas oo dhan u keeneen Daa'uud iyo dadkii la socday inay cunaan, waayo, waxay isyidhaahdeen, Dadku cidladay ku gaajoodeen, oo ku daaleen, oo ku harraadeen.

and honey, and curd of the flock, and cheese of the herd. And they presented them to David and to the people who were with him to eat. For they said, "The people are hungry and tired and thirsty in the wilderness."
