Xaakinnada 9
1 Markaasaa Abiimeleg ina Yerubbacal tegey xagga Shekem iyo abtiyaashiis, oo wuu la hadlay iyagii iyo reerka awowgiis oo dhan, oo wuxuu ku yidhi,
And Abimelech the son of Jerobaal went to Sichem to his mother’s brethren and spoke to them, and to all the kindred of his mother’s father, saying:
2 Waan idin baryayaaye, La hadla dadka Shekem oo dhan, oo bal weyddiiya, Kee baa idiin wanaagsan, in wiilasha Yerubbacal oo ah toddobaatan ay idiin wada taliyaan, mise in mid keliyahu idiin taliyo? Oo waxaad kaloo xusuusataan inaan ahay laftiinnii iyo hilibkiinnii.
Speak to all the men of Sichem: whether is better for you that seventy men all the sons of Jerobaal should rule over you, or that one man should rule over you? And withal consider that I am your bone, and your flesh.
3 Markaasay abtiyaashiis ula hadleen dadkii Shekem oo dhan, oo waxay u sheegeen erayadiisii oo dhan; kolkaasay qalbiyadoodii u leexdeen inay Abiimeleg raacaan; waayo, waxay yidhaahdeen, Isagu waa walaalkeen.
And his mother’s brethren spoke of him to all the men of Sichem, all these words, and they inclined their hearts after Abimelech, saying: He is our brother:
4 Markaasay waxay isagii gurigii Bacal Beriid ka siiyeen toddobaatan xabbadood oo lacag ah, oo Abiimeleg wuxuu ku kiraystay ciyaalasuuq iyo waxmatarayaal isaga raacay.
And they gave him seventy weight of silver out of the temple of Baalberith: wherewith he hired to himself men that were needy, and vagabonds, and they followed him.
5 Markaasuu reerkii aabbihiis ugu tegey Coofraah, oo wuxuu isku dhagax dushiis ku laayay walaalihiis ilmo Yerubbacal oo ahaa toddobaatan qof; laakiinse garuddambayskii Yerubbacal oo ahaa Yootam ayaa hadhay, waayo, wuu dhuuntay.
And he came to his father’s house in Ephra, and slew his brethren the sons of Jerobaal, seventy men, upon one stone: and there remained only Joatham the youngest son of Jerobaal, who was hidden.
6 Markaasaa waxaa soo shiray oo isku soo ururay dadkii Shekem oo dhan iyo reer Millo oo dhan, oo intay tageen ayay Abiimeleg boqor ka dhigteen, oo waxay ku ag boqreen geedkii tiirkii ku yiil Shekem.
And all the men of Sichem were gathered together, and all the families of the city of Mello: and they went and made Abimelech king, by the oak that stood in Sichem.
7 Oo markii taas loo sheegay Yootam ayuu tegey oo wuxuu isku taagay Buur Gerisiim dusheedii, oo intuu qayliyey ayuu codkiisii kor u qaaday oo yidhi, Bal i maqla, dadka reer Shekemow, in Ilaah idin maqlo.
This being told to Joatham, he went and stood on the top of mount Garizim: and lifting up his voice, he cried, and said: Hear me, ye men of Sichem, so may God hear you.
8 Waa baa dhirtu damacday inay boqor subkaan, markaasay geedsaytuun ku yidhaahdeen, Kaalay oo boqor noo noqo.
The trees went to anoint a king over them: and they said to the olive tree: Reign thou over us.
9 Laakiinse geedsaytuunkii wuxuu ku yidhi iyagii, Miyaan barwaaqadayda ka tagaa, tan lagu sharfa Ilaah iyo dadkaba, oo miyaan u kacaa inaan hore iyo dib uga lulmado geedaha dushooda?
And it answered: Can I leave my fatness, which both gods and men make use of, to come to be promoted among the trees?
10 Markaasay dhirtii ku yidhaahdeen geedberde, Kaalay oo boqor noo noqo.
And the trees said to the fig tree: Come thou and reign over us.
11 Laakiinse geedberdihii wuxuu ku yidhi, Miyaan ka tagaa macaankayga iyo midhahayga wanaagsan, oo miyaan u kacaa inaan hore iyo dib uga lulmado geedaha dushooda?
And it answered them: Can I leave my sweetness, and my delicious fruits, and go to be promoted among the other trees?
12 Markaasay dhirtii ku yidhaahdeen geedcanab, Kaalay oo boqor noo noqo.
And the trees said to the vine: Come thou and reign over us.
13 Markaasaa geedcanabkii wuxuu ku yidhi iyagii, Miyaan ka tagaa khamrigayga ka farxiya Ilaah iyo dadkaba, oo miyaan u kacaa inaan hore iyo dib uga lulmado geedaha dushooda?
And it answered them: Can I forsake my wine, that cheereth God and men, and be promoted among the other trees?
14 Markaasaa dhirtii oo dhammu waxay ku yidhaahdeen gocondho, Kaalay oo boqor noo noqo.
And all the trees said to the bramble: Come thou and reign over us.
15 Markaasaa gocondhadii waxay dhirtii ku tidhi, Haddaad daacad ii boqranaysaan, kaalaya oo hooskayga hadhsada; haddii kalese, dab ha ka soo baxo gocondhada oo ha laasto geedaha kedar la yidhaahdo oo Lubnaan.
And it answered them: If indeed you mean to make me king, come ye and rest under my shadow: but if you mean it not, let fire come out from the bramble, and devour the cedars of Libanus.
16 Haddaba haddaad daacad iyo si qumman ku socoteen, markii aad boqrateen Abiimeleg, iyo haddaad daacad kula macaamilooteen Yerubbacal iyo reerkiisii, oo aad u samayseen wixii uu idinka istaahilay;
Now therefore if you have done well, and without sin in appointing Abimelech king over you, and have dealt well with Jerobaal, and with his house, and have made a suitable return for the benefits of him, who fought for you,
17 (waayo, aabbahay idinkuu idiin diriray oo aawadiin buu naftiisii u biimeeyey, oo wuxuu idinka soo samatabbixiyey gacantii reer Midyaan;
And exposed his life to dangers, to deliver you from the hands of Madian,
18 oo idinku maanta waxaad ku kacdeen reerkii aabbahay, oo waxaad isku dhagax ku layseen wiilashiisii oo ah toddobaatan qof, oo waxaad dadkii Shekem boqor uga dhigteen Abiimeleg oo ah wiilkii addoontiisa, maxaa yeelay, isagu waa walaalkiin; )
And you are now risen up against my father’s house, and have killed his sons seventy men upon one stone, and have made Abimelech the son of his handmaid king over the inhabitants of Sichem, because he is your brother:
19 haddaba haddaad maanta daacad iyo si qumman ula macaamilooteen Yerubbacal iyo reerkiisii, de markaas Abiimeleg ku reyreeya oo isna ha idinku reyreeyo;
If therefore you have dealt well, and without fault with Jerobaal, and his house, rejoice ye this day in Abimelech, and may he rejoice in you.
20 haddii kalese, dab ha ka soo baxo Abiimeleg, oo ha laasto dadka Shekem iyo reer Millo; oo dadka Shekem iyo reer Millona dab ha ka soo baxo, oo ha laasto Abiimeleg.
But if unjustly: let fire come out from him, and consume the inhabitants of Sichem, and the town of Mello: and let fire come out from the men of Sichem, and from the town of Mello, and devour Abimelech.
21 Markaasaa Yootam orday oo cararay, oo wuxuu tegey Bi'ir, oo halkaasuu joogay cabsidii uu walaalkiis Abiimeleg ka qabay aawadeed.
And when he had said thus he fled, and went into Bera: and dwelt there for fear of Abimelech his brother.
22 Oo Abiimelegna saddex sannadood buu amiir u ahaa reer binu Israa'iil.
So Abimelech reigned over Israel for three years.
23 Oo Ilaahna dadkii Shekem iyo Abiimeleg dhexdooda wuxuu u soo diray jinni; oo dadkii Shekemna way khiyaaneeyeen Abiimeleg,
And the Lord sent a very evil spirit between Abimelech and the inhabitants of Sichem: who began to detest him,
24 in dulmigii lagu sameeyey toddobaatankii wiil oo Yerubbacal uu yimaado, oo dhiiggoodii la saaro walaalkood Abiimeleg oo iyaga dilay, iyo dadkii reer Shekem oo gacmihiisa xoojiyey inuu laayo walaalihiis.
And to leave the crime of the murder of the seventy sons of Jerobaal, and the shedding of their blood upon Abimelech their brother, and upon the rest of the princes of the Sichemites, who aided him.
25 Oo dadkii reer Shekemna waxay isagii buuraha dushooda u saareen rag gaadmo ah, oo iyana waxay dhaceen wax alla wixii jidkaas agtooda ah soo maray; oo taas waxaa loo sheegay Abiimeleg.
And they set an ambush against him on the top of the mountains: and while they waited for his coming, they committed robberies, taking spoils of all that passed by: and it was told Abimelech.
26 Markaasaa Gacal ina Cebed ayaa yimid isagoo la socda walaalihiis, oo wuxuu tegey Shekem; oo dadkii reer Shekemna way isku halleeyeen isagii.
And Gaal the son of Obed came with his brethren, and went over to Sichem. And the inhabitants of Sichem taking courage at his coming,
27 Markaasay beeraha tageen, oo canabkoodii soo gurteen, oo waxay ku tunteen midhihii canabka, wayna iideen, oo waxay galeen gurigii ilaahood, oo wax bay cuneen oo cabbeen, oo waxay caayeen Abiimeleg.
Went out into the fields, wasting the vineyards, and treading down the grapes: and singing and dancing they went into the temple of their god, and in their banquets and cups they cursed Abimelech.
28 Markaasaa Gacal ina Cebed yidhi, Abiimeleg waa ayo? Shekemna waa ayo? Maxaynu ugu adeegna? Sow isagu ma aha ina Yerubbacal? Sirkaalkiisuna sow ma aha Sebul? U adeega dadkii reer Xamoor oo ahaa Shekem aabbihiis; laakiinse maxaynu ugu adeegnaa isaga?
And Gaal the son of Obed cried: Who is Abimelech, and what is Sichem, that we should serve him? Is he not the son of Jerobaal, and hath made Zebul his servant ruler over the men of Emor the father of Sichem? Why then shall we serve him?
29 Haddii Ilaah dadkan gacantayda hoos gelin lahaa, ogaada, Abiimeleg waan eryi lahaaye. Kolkaasuu ku yidhi Abiimeleg, Ciidankaaga soo badso oo soo bax.
Would to God that some man would put this people under my hand, that I might remove Abimelech out of the way. And it was said to Abimelech: Gather together the multitude of an army, and come.
30 Markii Sebul oo ahaa taliyihii magaaladu maqlay erayadii Gacal ina Cebed ayuu aad u cadhooday.
For Zebul the ruler of the city, hearing the words of Gaal, the son of Obed, was very angry,
31 Markaasuu hoos ahaan wargeeyayaal ugu diray Abiimeleg, oo wuxuu ku yidhi, Bal eeg, Gacal ina Cebed iyo walaalihiis ayaa Shekem yimid, oo magaaladiina wuu kugu diray.
And sent messengers privately to Abimelech, saying: Behold Gaal the son of Obed is come into Sichem with his brethren, and endeavoureth to set the city against thee.
32 Haddaba adiga iyo dadka kula jiraaba habeennimo soo kaca oo duurka ku soo dhuunta.
Arise therefore in the night with the people that is with thee and he hid in the field:
33 Oo subaxda markay qorraxdu soo baxdo waa inaad aroor hore soo kacdaa oo magaalada weerartaa; oo bal eeg, markii isaga iyo dadka la jiraa ay dagaal kuugu soo baxaan, markaasaad ku samayn doontaa sida kuu suurtowda.
And betimes in the morning at sun rising set upon the city. And when he shall come out against thee with his people, do to him what thou shalt be able.
34 Markaasaa Abiimeleg iyo dadkii la jiray oo dhammu habeennimo kaceen, oo waxay soo gaadeen Shekem, iyagoo afar guuto ah.
Abimelech therefore arose with all his army by night, and laid ambushes near Sichem in four places.
35 Markaasaa Gacal ina Cebed baxay, oo wuxuu istaagay iridda magaalada laga soo galo; oo Abiimeleg iyo dadkii la jirayna waxay ka soo kaceen gaadmadii.
And Gaal the son of Obed went out, and stood in the entrance of the gate of the city. And Abimelech rose up, and all his army with him from the places of the ambushes.
36 Oo Gacalna markuu arkay dadkii wuxuu Sebul ku yidhi, Bal eeg, dad baa buuraha dushooda ka soo degaya. Sebulna wuxuu ku yidhi isagii, War waxaad arkaysaa oo dad moodaysaa buuraha hooskooda.
And when Gaal saw the people, he said to Zebul: Behold a multitude cometh down from the mountains. And he answered him: Thou seest the shadows of the mountains as if they were the heads of men, and this is thy mistake.
37 Oo Gacal haddana wuu hadlay oo wuxuu yidhi, Bal day, dad baa dhulka dhexdiisa soo socda, oo guutona waxay soo ag socotaa geedkii Mecooneniim.
Again Gaal said: Behold there cometh people down from the middle of the land, and one troop cometh by the way that looketh towards the oak.
38 Markaasaa Sebul wuxuu ku yidhi isagii, Meeh afkaagii aad ku tidhi, Waa ayo Abiimeleg oo maxaynu ugu adeegnaa? Sow kanu ma aha dadkii aad quudhsatay? Haddaba waan ku baryayaaye, u bax oo la dirir.
And Zebul said to him: Where is now thy mouth wherewith thou saidst? Who is Abimelech that we should serve him? Is not this the people which thou didst despise? Go out, and fight against him.
39 Oo Gacalna intuu baxay ayuu hor maray dadkii reer Shekem, oo wuxuu la diriray Abiimeleg.
So Gaal went out in the sight of the people of Sichem, and fought against Abimelech,
40 Oo Abiimelegna wuu eryooday Gacal, oo isna wuu cararay, oo dad badan oo dhaawac ah ayaa kaga dhacay tan iyo iridda magaalada laga galo.
Who chased and put him to flight, and drove him to the city: and many were slain of his people, even to the gate of the city:
41 Oo Abiimelegna wuxuu degay Aruumaah, Sebulna wuu eryay Gacal iyo walaalihiisba, oo wuu u diiday inay Shekem degganaadaan.
And Abimelech sat down in Ruma: but Zebul drove Gaal, and his companions out of the city, and would not suffer them to abide in it.
42 Oo subaxdii dambe ayaa dadkii duurka tegey oo ay Abiimeleg u sheegeen wixii dhacay.
So the day following the people went out into the field. And it was told Abimelech.
43 Markaasuu dadkii kaxaystay, oo intuu u kala qaybiyey saddex guuto ayuu duurka ku gaaday; markaasuu intuu wax fiiriyey ayuu arkay dadkii magaalada ka soo baxayay oo intuu ku kacay ayuu laayay.
And he took his army, and divided it into three companies, and laid ambushes in the fields. And seeing that the people came out of the city, he arose and set upon them,
44 Markaasay Abiimeleg iyo guutooyinkii la jiray hore u soo rooreen, oo waxay istaageen iriddii magaalada laga soo geli jiray; oo labadii guutona waxay ku yaaceen dadkii duurka joogay oo dhan, wayna wada laayeen.
With his own company, assaulting and besieging the city: whilst the two other companies chased the enemies that were scattered about the field.
45 Oo Abiimelegna maalintaas oo dhan wuxuu la dirirayay magaaladii; oo wuu qabsaday magaaladii, oo dadkii ku jirayna wuu wada laayay; oo magaaladiina wuu dumiyey, wuxuuna ku daadiyey cusbo.
And Abimelech assaulted the city all that day: and took it, and killed the inhabitants thereof, and demolished it, so that he sowed salt in it.
46 Oo dadkii ku jiray munaaraddii Shekem markay taas maqleen, ayay galeen qalcaddii ku tiil gurigii ilaahooda Beriid la odhan jiray.
And when they who dwelt in the tower of Sichem had heard this, they went into the temple of their god Berith where they had made a covenant with him, and from thence the place had taken its name, and it was exceeding strong.
47 Markaasaa Abiimeleg waxaa loo sheegay in dadkii ku jiray munaaraddii Shekem oo dhammu ay isku urursan yihiin.
Abimelech also hearing that the men of the tower of Sichem were gathered together,
48 Markaasaa Abiimeleg wuxuu fuulay Buur Salmoon, isagii iyo dadkii la jiray oo dhammuba; kolkaasaa Abiimeleg wuxuu gacanta ku qabsaday faas, oo wuxuu dhirtii ka soo jaray laan, oo intuu kor u qaatay ayuu garbaha soo saaray, oo dadkii la jirayna wuxuu ku yidhi, Dhaqsada, oo wixii aad igu aragteen anoo samaynaya u sameeya sidii aan u sameeyey.
Went up into mount Selmon he and all his people with him: and taking an axe, he cut down the bough of a tree, and laying it on his shoulder and carrying it, he said to his companions: What you see me do, do you out of hand.
49 Markaasaa dadkii nin waluba wuxuu soo jaray laantiisii, oo waxay soo raaceen Abiimeleg, oo intay laamihii qalcaddii ku ag tuuleen ayay haddana dab sudheen, oo sidaasay dadkii munaaraddii Shekem joogay oo dhammu u wada le'deen; oo waxay ahaayeen in ku dhow kun qof oo rag iyo dumarba leh.
So they cut down boughs from the trees, every man as fast as he could, and followed their leader. And surrounding the fort they set it on fire: and so it came to pass that with the smoke and with the fire a thousand persons were killed, men and women together, of the inhabitants of the tower of Sichem.
50 Oo haddana Abiimeleg wuxuu tegey Teebees, oo wuxuu degay meel ka soo hor jeedda, markaasuu qabsaday.
Then Abimelech departing from thence came to the town of Thebes, which he surrounded and besieged with his army.
51 Laakiinse magaalada waxaa ku dhex tiil munaarad xoog badan. Markaasay halkaas ku carareen rag iyo dumarba, iyo kulli wixii magaalada joogay oo dhan, oo intay isku soo xidheen ayay kor u fuuleen munaaradda saqafkeedii.
And there was in the midst of the city a high tower, to which both the men and the women were fled together, and all the princes of the city, and having shut and strongly barred the gate, they stood upon the battlements of the tower to defend themselves.
52 Markaasaa Abiimeleg munaaraddii yimid, wuuna la diriray, oo wuxuu u dhowaaday iridda munaaradda inuu dab ku gubo.
And Abimelech coming near the tower, fought stoutly: and approaching to the gate, endeavoured to set fire to it:
53 Naag baa kor dhagaxshiid kaga soo tuurtay Abiimeleg madaxiisii, oo burburisay dhakadiisii.
And behold a certain woman casting a piece of a millstone from above, dashed it against the head of Abimelech, and broke his skull.
54 Markaasuu haddiiba u yeedhay ninkii dhallinyarada ahaa, oo hubka u siday, oo wuxuu ku yidhi, War dadku yaanu i odhan, Naag baa dishaye, seeftaada la soo bax oo i dil. Markaasaa ninkiisii dhallinyarada ahaa seef ka mudhbixiyey, kolkaasuu dhintay.
And he called hastily to his armourbearer, and said to him: Draw thy sword, and kill me: lest it should be said that I was slain by a woman. He did as he was commanded, and slew him.
55 Dadkii reer binu Israa'iilna markay arkeen inuu Abiimeleg dhintay ayaa nin waluba meeshiisii tegey.
And when he was dead, all the men of Israel that were with him, returned to their homes.
56 Oo sidaasaa Ilaah Abiimeleg xumaantii uu aabbihiis ku sameeyey uga jeebay, waayo, wuxuu laayay toddobaatan walaalihiis ah:
And God repaid the evil, that Abimelech had done against his father, killing his seventy brethren.
57 oo dadkii reer Shekem xumaantoodii oo dhan Ilaah baa ka jeebay madaxoodii, oo waxaa ku soo degay habaarkii Yootam ina Yerubbacal.
The Sichemites also were rewarded for what they had done, and the curse of Joatham the son of Jerobaal came upon them.
