Samuu'Eel Labaad 18
1 Markaasaa Daa'uud wuxuu tiriyey dadkii isaga la jiray, oo wuxuu u yeelay saraakiil kun kun u taliya iyo saraakiil boqol boqol u taliya.
And David numbered the people that were with him, and set captains of thousands and captains of hundreds over them.
2 Markaasaa Daa'uud dadkii diray, oo wuxuu u qaybiyey saddex meelood, kolkaasuu meel wuxuu u dhiibay Yoo'aab, meelna wuxuu u dhiibay Abiishay oo ay Seruuyaah dhashay ee ahaa Yoo'aab walaalkiis, oo meeshii kalena wuxuu u dhiibay Itay kii reer Gad. Markaasaa boqorkii wuxuu dadkii ku yidhi, Sida xaqiiqada ah aniga qudhayduna waan idin raacayaa.
And David sent forth the people, a third part under the hand of Joab, and a third part under the hand of Abishai the son of Zeruiah, Joab's brother, and a third part under the hand of Ittai the Gittite. And the king said unto the people: 'I will surely go forth with you myself also.'
3 Laakiinse dadkii waxay yidhaahdeen, Waa inaanad bixin, waayo, annagu haddaannu cararno dan nagama ay lahaan doonaan; oo xataa haddii nuskayo dhintona dan nagama ay lahaan doonaan; laakiinse adigu waad ka qiimo weyn tahay toban kun oo naga mid ah; sidaas daraaddeed haatan waxaa wanaagsan inaad adoo diyaar ah iska joogtid oo aad xagga magaalada naga caawidid.
But the people said: 'Thou shalt not go forth; for if we flee away, they will not care for us; neither if half of us die, will they care for us; but thou art worth ten thousand of us: therefore now it is better that thou be ready to succour us out of the city.'
4 Boqorkiina wuxuu iyagii ku yidhi, Wax alla wixii idinla wanaagsan ayaan samaynayaa. Kolkaasaa boqorkii wuxuu istaagay iridda dhinaceeda, oo dadkii oo dhammuna dibadday u baxeen iyagoo ah boqol boqol iyo kun kun.
And the king said unto them: 'What seemeth you best I will do.' And the king stood by the gate-side, and all the people went out by hundreds and by thousands.
5 Markaasaa boqorkii wuxuu amray Yoo'aab iyo Abiishay iyo Itay, oo ku yidhi, Ninka dhallinyarada oo ah Absaaloom aniga aawaday ugu naxariista. Oo dadka oo dhammuna way maqleen markii boqorku saraakiisha oo dhan ku amray wax Absaaloom ku saabsan.
And the king commanded Joab and Abishai and Ittai, saying: 'Deal gently for my sake with the young man, even with Absalom.' And all the people heard when the king gave all the captains charge concerning Absalom.
6 Saas daraaddeed dadkii dibadday u baxeen oo waxay reer binu Israa'iil kaga hor tageen duurka, oo dagaalkiina wuxuu ka dhacay kayntii reer Efrayim.
So the people went out into the field against Israel; and the battle was in the forest of Ephraim.
7 Oo dadkii reer binu Israa'iilna waxaa meeshaas ku laayay addoommadii Daa'uud, oo maalintaas waxaa la laayay dad badan, oo waxaa ka dhintay labaatan kun oo nin.
And the people of Israel were smitten there before the servants of David, and there was a great slaughter there that day of twenty thousand men.
8 Oo dagaalkiina wuxuu ku faafay waddankii oo dhan, oo maalintaas waxaa kayntii cuntay dad ka sii badan intii seeftu cuntay.
For the battle was there spread over the face of all the country; and the forest devoured more people that day than the sword devoured.
9 Absaaloomna si kedis ah ayuu uga hor yimid addoommadii Daa'uud. Absaaloomna baqashiisii ayuu fuushanaa, oo baqashiisii waxay hoos martay geed weyn laamihiis, kolkaasaa geedkii madaxiisii qabsaday, oo wuxuu ka lalmaday meel cirka iyo dhulka u dhaxaysa; oo baqashii ku hoos jirtayna way iska socotay.
And Absalom chanced to meet the servants of David. And Absalom was riding upon his mule, and the mule went under the thick boughs of a great terebinth, and his head caught hold of the terebinth, and he was taken up between the heaven and the earth; and the mule that was under him went on.
10 Markaasaa nin arkay, oo Yoo'aab u soo sheegay, oo wuxuu ku yidhi, War, waxaan soo arkay Absaaloom oo geed ka lalmada.
And a certain man saw it, and told Joab, and said: 'Behold, I saw Absalom hanging in a terebinth.'
11 Yoo'aabna wuxuu ninkii u soo warramay ku yidhi, Oo haddaad aragtay maxaad isaga halkaas ugu dili weyday? Oo anna waxaan ku siin lahaa toban gogo' oo lacag ah iyo dhex-xidh.
And Joab said unto the man that told him: 'And, behold, thou sawest it, and why didst thou not smite him there to the ground? and I would have had to give thee ten pieces of silver, and a girdle.'
12 Markaasaa ninkii Yoo'aab ku yidhi, In kastoo aan heli lahaa kun gogo' oo lacag ah, weliba ma aanan yeeleen inaan gacantayda wiilka boqorka u qaado, waayo, annagoo maqlayna ayaa boqorku idinku amray, adiga iyo Abiishay iyo Itay, oo idinku yidhi, Iska jira oo yaan ninna taaban ninka dhallinyarada ah ee Absaaloom ah.
And the man said unto Joab: 'Though I should receive a thousand pieces of silver in my hand, yet would I not put forth my hand against the king's son; for in our hearing the king charged thee and Abishai and Ittai, saying: Beware that none touch the young man Absalom.
13 Ama haddaan saas samayn lahaa naftaydaan been kula macaamiloon lahaa, waayo, boqorka waxba kama qarsoona, adiga qudhaaduna waad igu kici lahayd.
Otherwise if I had dealt falsely against mine own life — and there is no matter hid from the king — then thou thyself wouldest have stood aloof.'
14 Yoo'aabna wuxuu yidhi, Anigu saas kugula sii joogi maayo. Markaasuu qaatay saddex gantaal, oo Absaaloom wadnaha juq ka siiyey, isagoo weli nool oo geedkii ku dhex jira.
Then said Joab: 'I may not tarry thus with thee.' And he took three darts in his hand, and thrust them through the heart of Absalom, while he was yet alive in the midst of the terebinth.
15 Kolkaasaa waxaa Absaaloom hareereeyey toban nin oo dhallinyaro ahaa oo Yoo'aab hub u siday, oo intay dileen ayay gowraceen.
And ten young men that bore Joab's armour compassed about and smote Absalom, and slew him.
16 Markaasaa Yoo'aab buunkii afuufay, oo dadkiina waxay ka soo noqdeen eryadkii ay reer binu Israa'iil eryanayeen, waayo, Yoo'aab baa u diiday.
And Joab blew the horn, and the people returned from pursuing after Israel; for Joab held back the people.
17 Oo Absaaloom bay qaadeen oo ku tuureen yamays dheer oo kaynta ku dhex yiil, oo waxay dusha kaga tuuleen dhagaxyo faro badan, oo reer binu Israa'iilna dhammaantood mid waluba teendhadiisii buu ku cararay.
And they took Absalom, and cast him into the great pit in the forest, and raised over him a very great heap of stones; and all Israel fled every one to his tent. —
18 Oo Absaaloomna intuu noolaa ayuu yidhi, Wiil magacayga lagu soo xusuusto ma aan lihi. Sidaas daraaddeed wuxuu qaaday tiir oo dhex qotomiyey dooxadii boqorka; oo tiirkiina wuxuu ku magacaabay magiciisii, oo ilaa maantadan la joogo waxaa lagu magacaabaa taalladii Absaaloom.
Now Absalom in his life-time had taken and reared up for himself the pillar, which is in the king's dale; for he said: 'I have no son to keep my name in remembrance'; and he called the pillar after his own name; and it is called Absalom's monument unto this day.
19 Markaasaa Axiimacas oo ahaa ina Saadooq yidhi, Haddaba i daaya aan ordee, oo aan boqorkii u soo warramee, sida Rabbigu uga aarguday cadaawayaashiisii.
Then said Ahimaaz the son of Zadok: 'Let me now run, and bear the king tidings, how that the LORD hath avenged him of his enemies.'
20 Kolkaasaa Yoo'aab wuxuu ku yidhi, Adigu maanta ahaan maysid kan warka qaadaya, laakiinse maalin kalaad qaadi doontaa, illowse adigu maanta waxba war qaadi maysid, maxaa yeelay, boqorka wiilkiisii baa dhintay.
And Joab said unto him: 'Thou shalt not be the bearer of tidings this day, but thou shalt bear tidings another day; but this day thou shalt bear no tidings, forasmuch as the king's son is dead.'
21 Markaasaa Yoo'aab wuxuu kii reer Kuush ku yidhi, Tag oo boqorkii u sheeg wixii aad aragtay. Oo kii reer Kuushna intuu Yoo'aab u sujuuday ayuu orday.
Then said Joab to the Cushite: 'Go tell the king what thou hast seen.' And the Cushite bowed down unto Joab, and ran.
22 Markaasaa Axiimacas oo ahaa ina Saadooq ayaa mar kale Yoo'aab ku yidhi, Wax kastaba ha dhaceene, waan ku baryayaaye, i daa aan kii reer Kuush ka daba ordee. Oo Yoo'aabna wuxuu ku yidhi, Wiilkaygiiyow, adigoon waxba ku helayn warkan, bal maxaad u ordaysaa?
Then said Ahimaaz the son of Zadok yet again to Joab: 'But come what may, let me, I pray thee, also run after the Cushite.' And Joab said: 'Wherefore wilt thou run, my son, seeing that thou wilt have no reward for the tidings?'
23 Wuxuuse yidhi, Wax kastaa ha dhacee, waan ordayaa. Kolkaasuu ku yidhi, Orod. Markaasaa Axiimacas wuxuu qaaday waddadii Bannaanka, oo kii reer Kuushna wuu ka dheereeyey.
'But come what may, said he, I will run.' And he said unto him: 'Run.' Then Ahimaaz ran by the way of the Plain, and overran the Cushite.
24 Oo Daa'uudna wuxuu fadhiyey labada irdood dhexdooda, waardiyihiina wuxuu fuulay iridda saqafkeeda ilaa derbigii, markaasuu wax fiiriyey, oo arkay nin keligiis soo ordaya.
Now David sat between the two gates; and the watchman went up to the roof of the gate unto the wall, and lifted up his eyes, and looked, and behold a man running alone.
25 Kolkaasaa waardiyihii dhawaaqay, oo boqorkii buu u sheegay. Boqorkiina wuxuu yidhi, Hadduu keligiis yahay, war buu sidaa. Oo isna wuu soo orday, wuuna soo dhowaaday.
And the watchman cried, and told the king. And the king said: 'If he be alone, there is tidings in his mouth.' And he came apace, and drew near.
26 Markaasaa waardiyihii arkay nin kale oo soo ordaya; kolkaasaa waardiyihii u dhawaaqay iridjoogihii oo ku yidhi, Bal eeg, nin kalaa keligiis soo ordaya. Oo boqorkiina wuxuu yidhi, Isna war buu sidaa.
And the watchman saw another man running; and the watchman called unto the porter, and said: 'Behold another man running alone.' And the king said: 'He also bringeth tidings.'
27 Markaasaa waardiyihii wuxuu yidhi, Waxaan u malaynayaa inuu ninka hore orodkiisu u eg yahay orodkii Axiimacas ina Saadooq. Markaasaa boqorkii wuxuu yidhi, Isagu waa nin wanaagsan, wuxuu soo wadaa war wanaagsan.
And the watchman said: 'I think the running of the foremost is like the running of Ahimaaz the son of Zadok.' And the king said: 'He is a good man, and cometh with good tidings.'
28 Markaasaa Axiimacas dhawaaqay, oo boqorkii ku yidhi, Wax waluba waa hagaagsan yihiin. Oo intuu boqorka hortiisii ku sujuuday ayuu wejiga dhulka saaray, oo yidhi, Waxaa ammaan leh Rabbiga Ilaahaaga ah, oo inoo soo gacangeliyey raggii gacanta kuu qaaday, boqorow, sayidkaygiiyow.
And Ahimaaz called, and said unto the king: 'All is well.' And he bowed down before the king with his face to the earth, and said: 'Blessed be the LORD thy God, who hath delivered up the men that lifted up their hand against my lord the king.'
29 Boqorkiina wuxuu yidhi, Ninkii dhallintayaraa ee Absaaloom ahaa ma nabdoon yahay? Axiimacasna wuxuu ku jawaabay, Boqorow, markii Yoo'aab i soo diray, anigoo addoonkaaga ah, waxaan arkay buuq weyn laakiinse wax alla wuxuu ahaa ma aqaan.
And the king said: 'Is it well with the young man Absalom?' And Ahimaaz answered: 'When Joab sent the king's servant, and me thy servant, I saw a great tumult, but I knew not what it was.'
30 Markaasaa boqorkii wuxuu yidhi, Bal gees u leexo, oo halkan istaag. Markaasuu gees u leexday oo istaagay.
And the king said: 'Turn aside, and stand here.' And he turned aside, and stood still.
31 Markaasaa kii reer Kuush yimid, oo yidhi, War baan kuu wadaa, boqorow, sayidkaygiiyow, waayo, Rabbigu maantuu kaaga soo aarguday kuwii kugu kacay oo dhan.
And, behold, the Cushite came; and the Cushite said: 'Tidings for my lord the king; for the LORD hath avenged thee this day of all them that rose up against thee.'
32 Markaasaa boqorkii wuxuu kii reer Kuush ku yidhi, Ninkii dhallintayaraa ee Absaaloom ahaa ma nabdoon yahay? Oo kii reer Kuushna wuxuu ku jawaabay, Boqorow, sayidkaygiiyow, cadaawayaashaada iyo intii inay wax ku yeelaan kuugu kacda oo dhanba, Ilaah ha ka yeelo sida ninkaas dhallinyarada ahu yahay.
And the king said unto the Cushite: 'Is it well with the young man Absalom?' And the Cushite answered: 'The enemies of my lord the king and all that rise up against thee to do thee hurt, be as that young man is.'
33 Oo boqorkiina aad buu u naxay, oo wuxuu kor ugu baxay qolkii iridda ka koreeyey, wuuna ooyay; oo intuu sii socdayna, wuxuu lahaa, Wiilkaygii Absaaloomow, wiilkaygiiyow, wiilkaygii Absaaloomow! Hooggaygee, waan ku dhiman lahaa, Absaaloomow, wiilkaygiiyow, wiilkaygiiyow!
And the king was much moved, and went up to the chamber over the gate, and wept; and as he went, thus he said: 'O my son Absalom, my son, my son Absalom! would I had died for thee, O Absalom, my son, my son!'
