1 N ow Joab son of Zeruiah knew that the king’s heart was toward Absalom.

Markaasaa Yoo'aab oo ay Seruuyaah dhashay ayaa ogaaday in boqorka qalbigiisii Absaaloom la jiro.

2 A nd Joab sent to Tekoah and brought from there a wise woman and said to her, Pretend to be a mourner; put on mourning apparel, do not anoint yourself with oil, but act like a woman who has long been mourning for the dead.

Markaasaa Yoo'aab u cid diray Teqooca, oo wuxuu halkaas uga yeedhay naag caqli badan, oo ku yidhi, Waan ku baryayaaye, waxaad iska dhigtaa sidii mid barooranaysa, oo waan ku baryayaaye, waxaad xidhataa dharkii baroorta, saliidna ha ku subkan, laakiinse waxaad noqotaa sidii naag wakhti dheer ku ka dhintay u barooranaysay;

3 A nd go to the king and speak thus to him. And Joab told her what to say.

oo waxaad u gashaa boqorka, oo sidan ula hadal. Sidaasuu Yoo'aab erayadii afka ugu riday.

4 W hen the woman of Tekoah spoke to the king, she fell on her face to the ground and did obeisance, and said, Help, O king!

Oo naagtii reer Teqooca markay boqorkii la hadashay ayay dhulka wejiga saartay oo u sujuudday, oo waxay ku tidhi, Boqorow, i caawi.

5 T he king asked her, What troubles you? She said, I am a widow; my husband is dead.

Markaasaa boqorkii wuxuu ku yidhi, Naa maxaa kugu dhacay? Oo iyana waxay ugu jawaabtay, Sida runta ah waxaan ahay naag carmal ah, oo ninkaygiina waa dhintay.

6 A nd your handmaid had two sons, and they quarreled with one another in the field. There was no one to separate them, and one struck the other and killed him.

Oo anoo addoontaadii ahuna waxaan lahaa laba wiil, oo labadoodii ayaa ku diriray duurka, oo wax kala qabtaana lama jirin; markaasaa midkood kii kale wax ku dhuftay, wuuna dilay.

7 A nd behold, our whole family has risen against your handmaid, and they say, Deliver him who slew his brother, that we may kill him for the life of his brother whom he slew; and so they would destroy the heir also. And so quenching my coal which is left, they would leave to my husband neither name nor remnant upon the earth.

Oo bal eeg, anoo addoontaada ah waxaa igu kacay reerkii oo dhan, oo waxay igu yidhaahdeen, Noo keen kii walaalkiis dilay, aannu walaalkiis oo uu nafta ka qaaday daraaddiis u dilnee, oo aannu kan dhaxalka lehna dilnee; oo saasna waxay u bakhtiin doonaan dhuxushii ii hadhay, oo ninkaygana dhulka uguma ay reebi doonaan magac iyo wax u hadha toona.

8 D avid said to the woman, Go home, and I will give orders concerning you.

Markaasaa boqorkii naagtii ku yidhi, Orod oo gurigaagii tag, oo amar kugu saabsan baan bixin doonaa.

9 A nd the woman of Tekoah said to the king, My lord, O king, let the guilt be on me and on my father’s house; let the king and his throne be guiltless.

Naagtii reer Teqoocana waxay boqorkii ku tidhi, Boqorow, Sayidkaygiiyow, dembigu ha saarnaado aniga iyo reerka aabbahayba; oo adiga iyo carshigaaguna ka eed la'aada, boqorow.

10 T he king said, If anyone says anything to you, bring him to me, and he shall not touch you again.

Boqorkiina wuxuu yidhi, Ku alla kii kula hadla, ii keen oo isna mar dambe ku taaban maayo.

11 T hen she said, I pray you, let the king remember the Lord your God, that the avenger of blood destroy not any more, lest they destroy my son. And David said, As the Lord lives, there shall not one hair of your son fall to the earth.

Markaasay tidhi, Waan ku baryayaaye, Boqorow, xusuuso Rabbiga Ilaahaaga ah, si kan dhiig u aaraa uusan mar dambe wax u dilin, waaba intaasoo ay wiilkayga dilaane. Oo isna wuxuu ku yidhi, Nolosha Rabbigaan ku dhaartaye inaan wiilkaaga tin keli ahi dhulka kaga dhacayn.

12 T hen the woman said, Let your handmaid, I pray you, speak one word to my lord the king. He said, Say on.

Markaasaa naagtii tidhi, Waan ku baryayaaye, anoo addoontaada ah, aan eray kugula hadlo, boqorow sayidkaygiiyow. Isna wuxuu yidhi, Bal ku hadal.

13 s aid, Why then have you planned such a thing against God’s people? For in speaking this word the king is like one who is guilty, in that does not bring home his banished one.

Naagtiina waxay tidhi, Maxaad ugu fikirtay wax sidaas ah oo dadka Ilaah ka gees ah? Waayo, waxan aad ku hadlaysay daraaddii, boqorow, waxaad tahay sida mid gardaran, maxaa yeelay, mar dambe reerkii kuma aad soo celin kaagii aad eriday, boqorow.

14 W e must all die; we are like water spilled on the ground, which cannot be gathered up again. And God does not take away life, but devises means so that he who is banished may not be an utter outcast from Him.

Waayo, kolleyba dhammaanteen waan dhimanaynaa, oo waxaannu la mid nahay sidii biyo dhulka ku daatay, oo aan mar dambe la soo ururin karin; oo Ilaahna nafta ma qaado, laakiinse si fiican buu u talaggalaa, si uusan kii xaggiisa laga eryay u noqonin ku isaga ka go'ay.

15 A nd now I have come to speak of this thing to my lord the king because the people have made me afraid. And I thought, I will speak to the king; it may be that he will perform the request of his servant.

Sidaas daraaddeed ayaan kuugu imid, boqorow, sayidkaygiiyow, inaan eraygan kugula hadlo; maxaa yeelay, dadkaa i cabsiiyey, markaasaan anoo addoontaada ah is-idhi, Haatan waxaan la hadlayaa boqorka, waayo, waaba intaasoo uu boqorku ii yeelaa waxaan weyddiisto anoo addoontiisa ah.

16 F or the king will hear to deliver his handmaid from the hand of the man who would destroy me and my son together from the inheritance of God.

Waayo, boqorku wuu i maqli doonaa, inuu anoo addoontiisa ah iga samatabbixiyo gacantii ninkii doonayay inuu na baabbi'iyo oo dhaxalka Ilaahna naga saaro aniga iyo wiilkaygaba.

17 A nd the woman said, The word of my lord the king will now give me rest and security, for as an angel of God is my lord the king to hear and discern good and evil. May the Lord your God be with you!

Haddaba anoo addoontaada ah waxaan idhi, Boqorka sayidkayga ah hadalkiisu ha ahaado mid i nasiya, waayo, boqorka sayidkayga ahu sida malaa'igta Ilaah ayuu u kala gartaa xumaanta iyo samaanta. Rabbiga Ilaahaaga ahuna ha kula jiro.

18 T hen the king said to the woman, Hide not from me anything I ask you. And the woman said, Let my lord the king speak.

Markaasaa boqorkii naagtii ugu jawaabay, Waan ku baryayaaye waxa aan ku weyddiin doono, waxba ha iga qarin. Oo naagtiina waxay tidhi, Boqorow, sayidkaygiiyow, bal iska hadal.

19 T he king said, Is the hand of Joab with you in all this? And the woman answered, As your soul lives, my lord the king, none can turn to the right hand or to the left from anything my lord the king has said. It was your servant Joab who directed me; he put all these words in my mouth.

Boqorkiina wuxuu yidhi, Waxyaalahan oo dhan ma Yoo'aab baa kugu weheliya? Kolkaasaa naagtii ugu jawaabtay, Boqorow, sayidkaygiiyow, naftaada nool baan ku dhaartaye inaan ninna xagga midigta ama xagga bidixda uga leexan karin waxaad tidhi, boqorow, sayidkaygiiyow, waayo, addoonkaaga Yoo'aab ah ayaa igu amray waxan, oo erayadan oo dhanna isagaa afka iigu riday, anoo addoontaada ah.

20 I n order to change the course of matters your servant Joab did this. But my lord has wisdom like the wisdom of the angel of God—to know all things that are on the earth.

Addoonkaaga Yoo'aab ahu wuxuu waxan u sameeyey inuu xaalka si kale u beddelo aawadeed. Sayidkaygiiyow, caqli baad leedahay, waxaanad leedahay xigmad sida tan malaa'igta Ilaah oo kale ah, oo waxaad garan kartaa waxyaalaha dhulka ku jira oo dhan.

21 T hen the king said to Joab, Behold now, I grant this; go, bring back the young man Absalom.

Markaasaa boqorkii wuxuu Yoo'aab ku yidhi, Bal eeg, waxan baan sameeyey; haddaba tag, oo soo celi ninkii dhallinyarada ahaa ee ahaa Absaaloom.

22 A nd Joab fell to the ground on his face and did obeisance and thanked the king. And Joab said, Today your servant knows that I have found favor in your sight, my lord, O king, in that the king has performed the request of his servant.

Kolkaasaa Yoo'aab dhulka wejiga saaray, oo sujuuday, oo boqorkii u duceeyey; wuxuuna Yoo'aab yidhi, Boqorow, sayidkaygiiyow, maanta anoo addoonkaaga ah waan ogahay inaan raallinimo kaa helay, waayo, boqorow, waad ii yeeshay wixii aan ku weyddiistay, anoo addoonkaaga ah.

23 S o Joab arose, went to Geshur, and brought Absalom to Jerusalem.

Sidaas daraaddeed Yoo'aab wuu kacay, oo Geshuur tegey, oo Absaaloomna Yeruusaalem buu keenay.

24 A nd the king said, Let him go to his own house, and let him not see my face. So Absalom went to his own house and did not see the king’s face.

Markaasaa boqorkii yidhi, Gurigiisii ha ku noqdo, laakiinse yuusan wejigayga arkin. Saas aawadeed Absaaloom wuxuu ku noqday gurigiisii, mana uu arkin boqorka wejigiisii.

25 B ut in all Israel there was none so much to be praised for his beauty as Absalom; from the sole of his foot to the crown of his head there was no blemish in him.

Haddaba reer binu Israa'iil oo dhan laguma arag nin Absaaloom la mid ah oo quruxdiisa aad loogu ammaano, waayo, cagtiisa cad ilaa dhaladiisa innaba iin laguma arag.

26 A nd when he cut the hair of his head, he weighed it—for at each year’s end he cut it, because its weight was a burden to him—and it weighed 200 shekels by the king’s weight.

Haddaba timihiisu way ku cuslaayeen, oo sannad kasta dhammaadkeeda ayuu iska jari jiray, oo markuu timaha madaxiisa jaro wuu miisaami jiray oo miisaankoodu wuxuu ahaa laba boqol oo sheqel ee ah miisaanka boqorka.

27 T here were born to Absalom three sons and one daughter whose name was Tamar; she was a beautiful woman.

Oo Absaaloom waxaa u dhashay saddex wiil, iyo gabadh magaceeda la odhan jiray Taamaar, oo iyana waxay ahayd naag suurad qurxoon.

28 A bsalom dwelt two full years in Jerusalem and did not see the king’s face.

Oo Absaaloomna Yeruusaalem laba sannadood oo dhan ayuu degganaa, mana uu arag wejigii boqorka.

29 S o Absalom sent for Joab to send him to the king, but he would not come to him; even when he sent again the second time, he would not come.

Markaasaa Absaaloom u cid dirtay Yoo'aab inuu boqorka u diro; laakiinse wuu diiday inuu u yimaado; oo haddana mar labaad buu u cid dirtay, laakiinse wuu diiday inuu yimaado.

30 T herefore Absalom said to his servants, See, Joab’s field is near mine, and he has barley there; go and set it on fire. So Absalom’s servants set the field afire.

Sidaas daraaddeed Absaaloom wuxuu addoommadiisii ku yidhi, Bal eega, Yoo'aab beertiisu waxay u dhow dahay tayda, oo waxaa ugu taal shaciir; haddaba taga oo dab qabadsiiya. Markaasaa Absaaloom addoommadiisii beertii dab qabadsiiyeen.

31 T hen Joab arose and went to Absalom at his house and said to him, Why have your servants set my field on fire?

Dabadeedna Yoo'aab baa soo kacay oo Absaaloom gurigiisii ugu yimid, oo ku yidhi, War addoommadaadu maxay beertayda dab u qabadsiiyeen?

32 A bsalom answered Joab, I sent to you, saying, Come here, that I may send you to the king to ask, Why have I come from Geshur? It would be better for me to be there still. Now therefore, let me see the king, and if there is iniquity and guilt in me, let him kill me.

Absaaloomna wuxuu Yoo'aab ugu jawaabay, Bal eeg waan kuu soo cid dirtay inaad ii timaadid, waayo, waxaan doonayay inaan boqorka kuu dirto oo aan ku idhaahdo, Bal maxaan Geshuur uga imid? Waayo, waxaa ii roonayd inaan halkaas sii joogo, haddaba sidaas daraaddeed i daa aan boqorka wejigiisa soo arkee; oo haddaan dembi leeyahayna, isagu ha i dilo.

33 S o Joab came to the king and told him. And when David had called for Absalom, he came to him and bowed himself on his face to the ground before the king; and kissed Absalom.

Sidaas daraaddeed Yoo'aab baa boqorkii u yimid, wuuna u sheegay, oo markuu Absaaloom u yeedhay ayuu isna boqorkii u yimid, oo intuu u sujuuday ayuu wejigiisa dhulka saaray boqorka hortiisa; oo boqorkiina Absaaloom buu dhunkaday.
