1 ¶ And Abimelech, the son of Jerubbaal, went to Shechem unto his mother’s brethren and spoke with them and with all the family of the house of his mother’s father, saying,

Markaasaa Abiimeleg ina Yerubbacal tegey xagga Shekem iyo abtiyaashiis, oo wuu la hadlay iyagii iyo reerka awowgiis oo dhan, oo wuxuu ku yidhi,

2 S peak, I pray you, in the ears of all the men of Shechem, What would seem better unto you, that seventy persons reign over you, all the sons of Jerubbaal; or that one reign over you? Remember also that I am your bone and your flesh.

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.

3 A nd his mother’s brethren spoke for him in the ears of all the men of Shechem all these words, and their hearts inclined to follow Abimelech, for they said, He is our brother.

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.

4 A nd they gave him seventy shekels of silver out of the house of Baalberith, with which Abimelech hired vain and light men who followed him.

Markaasay waxay isagii gurigii Bacal Beriid ka siiyeen toddobaatan xabbadood oo lacag ah, oo Abiimeleg wuxuu ku kiraystay ciyaalasuuq iyo waxmatarayaal isaga raacay.

5 A nd coming unto his father’s house at Ophrah, he slew his brethren, the sons of Jerubbaal, seventy persons, upon a stone; yet Jotham, the youngest son of Jerubbaal, was left, for he hid himself.

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.

6 A nd all the men of Shechem gathered together with all the house of Millo and went and made Abimelech king, by the plain of the pillar that was in Shechem.

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.

7 ¶ And when they told it to Jotham, he went and stood in the top of Mount Gerizim and lifted up his voice and cried and said unto them, Hearken unto me, ye men of Shechem, that God may hearken unto you.

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.

8 T he trees went forth to anoint a king over them, and they said unto the olive tree, Reign thou over us.

Waa baa dhirtu damacday inay boqor subkaan, markaasay geedsaytuun ku yidhaahdeen, Kaalay oo boqor noo noqo.

9 B ut the olive tree replied, Should I leave my fatness, which because of me, God and man are honoured, to go and sway over the trees?

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?

10 A nd the trees said to the fig tree, Come thou and reign over us.

Markaasay dhirtii ku yidhaahdeen geedberde, Kaalay oo boqor noo noqo.

11 B ut the fig tree said unto them, Should I forsake my sweetness and my good fruit to go and sway over the trees?

Laakiinse geedberdihii wuxuu ku yidhi, Miyaan ka tagaa macaankayga iyo midhahayga wanaagsan, oo miyaan u kacaa inaan hore iyo dib uga lulmado geedaha dushooda?

12 T hen the trees said unto the vine, Come thou and reign over us.

Markaasay dhirtii ku yidhaahdeen geedcanab, Kaalay oo boqor noo noqo.

13 A nd the vine said unto them, Should I leave my wine, which cheers God and man, to go and sway over the trees?

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?

14 T hen all the trees said unto the bramble, Come thou and reign over us.

Markaasaa dhirtii oo dhammu waxay ku yidhaahdeen gocondho, Kaalay oo boqor noo noqo.

15 A nd the bramble said unto the trees, If in truth ye anoint me king over you, then come and confide under my shadow; and if not, let fire come out of the bramble and devour the cedars of Lebanon.

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.

16 N ow therefore, if ye have proceeded with truth and integrity in making Abimelech king, and if ye have dealt well with Jerubbaal and his house and have recompensed him according to the work of his hands

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;

17 ( For my father fought for you and cast his life far from him to deliver you out of the hand of Midian;

(waayo, aabbahay idinkuu idiin diriray oo aawadiin buu naftiisii u biimeeyey, oo wuxuu idinka soo samatabbixiyey gacantii reer Midyaan;

18 a nd ye are risen up against my father’s house this day and have slain his sons, seventy men, upon a stone and have made Abimelech, the son of his maidservant, king over the men of Shechem because he is your brother;)

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;)

19 i f ye then have dealt in truth and integrity with Jerubbaal and with his house this day, then rejoice ye in Abimelech, and let him also rejoice in you.

haddaba haddaad maanta daacad iyo si qumman ula macaamilooteen Yerubbacal iyo reerkiisii, de markaas Abiimeleg ku reyreeya oo isna ha idinku reyreeyo;

20 B ut if not, let fire come out from Abimelech and devour the men of Shechem and the house of Millo; and let fire come out from the men of Shechem and from the house of Millo and devour Abimelech.

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.

21 A nd Jotham ran away and fled and went to Beer and dwelt there, for fear of Abimelech his brother.

Markaasaa Yootam orday oo cararay, oo wuxuu tegey Bi'ir, oo halkaasuu joogay cabsidii uu walaalkiis Abiimeleg ka qabay aawadeed.

22 ¶ When Abimelech had dominated over Israel three years,

Oo Abiimelegna saddex sannadood buu amiir u ahaa reer binu Israa'iil.

23 t hen God sent an evil spirit between Abimelech and the men of Shechem, and the men of Shechem dealt treacherously with Abimelech

Oo Ilaahna dadkii Shekem iyo Abiimeleg dhexdooda wuxuu u soo diray jinni; oo dadkii Shekemna way khiyaaneeyeen Abiimeleg,

24 t hat the cruelty done to the seventy sons of Jerubbaal and their blood might come to be laid upon Abimelech their brother who slew them and upon the men of Shechem, who aided him in the killing of his brethren.

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.

25 A nd the men of Shechem set ambushers for him in the top of the mountains, and they robbed all that came along that way by them; and it was told Abimelech.

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.

26 A nd Gaal, the son of Ebed, came with his brethren and went over to Shechem; and the men of Shechem put their confidence in him.

Markaasaa Gacal ina Cebed ayaa yimid isagoo la socda walaalihiis, oo wuxuu tegey Shekem; oo dadkii reer Shekemna way isku halleeyeen isagii.

27 A nd they went out into the fields and gathered their vineyards and trod the grapes and made merry and went into the house of their gods and ate and drank and cursed Abimelech.

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.

28 A nd Gaal, the son of Ebed, said, Who is Abimelech and who is Shechem that we should serve him? Is he not the son of Jerubbaal? And is not Zebul his deputy? Serve the men of Hamor, the father of Shechem. For why should we serve him?

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?

29 I f these people were under my hand, then I would remove Abimelech. And he said to Abimelech, Increase thine army and come out.

Haddii Ilaah dadkan gacantayda hoos gelin lahaa, ogaada, Abiimeleg waan eryi lahaaye. Kolkaasuu ku yidhi Abiimeleg, Ciidankaaga soo badso oo soo bax.

30 A nd when Zebul, the prince of the city, heard the words of Gaal, the son of Ebed, his anger was kindled.

Markii Sebul oo ahaa taliyihii magaaladu maqlay erayadii Gacal ina Cebed ayuu aad u cadhooday.

31 A nd he sent messengers unto Abimelech astutely, saying, Behold, Gaal, the son of Ebed, and his brethren have come to Shechem; and, behold, they have fortified the city against thee.

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.

32 N ow, therefore, rise up by night, thou and the people that are with thee, and put an ambush in the field.

Haddaba adiga iyo dadka kula jiraaba habeennimo soo kaca oo duurka ku soo dhuunta.

33 A nd in the morning as soon as the sun is up, thou shalt rise early and set upon the city; and, behold, when he and the people that are with him come out against thee, then thou may do to them as thou shalt find occasion.

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.

34 A nd Abimelech rose up and all the people that were with him, by night, and they put an ambush against Shechem in four companies.

Markaasaa Abiimeleg iyo dadkii la jiray oo dhammu habeennimo kaceen, oo waxay soo gaadeen Shekem, iyagoo afar guuto ah.

35 A nd Gaal, the son of Ebed, went out and stood in the entering of the gate of the city; and Abimelech and all the people that were with him rose up from the ambush.

Markaasaa Gacal ina Cebed baxay, oo wuxuu istaagay iridda magaalada laga soo galo; oo Abiimeleg iyo dadkii la jirayna waxay ka soo kaceen gaadmadii.

36 A nd when Gaal saw the people, he said to Zebul, Behold people that come down from the tops of the mountains. And Zebul said unto him, Thou seest the shadow of the mountains as if they were men.

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.

37 A nd Gaal spoke again and said, See there come people who descend through the middle of the land, and another company comes along by the plain of Meonenim.

Oo Gacal haddana wuu hadlay oo wuxuu yidhi, Bal day, dad baa dhulka dhexdiisa soo socda, oo guutona waxay soo ag socotaa geedkii Mecooneniim.

38 T hen Zebul said unto him, Where is now thy mouth, with which thou didst say, Who is Abimelech that we should serve him? Is not this the people that thou hast despised? Go out now and fight with them.

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.

39 A nd Gaal went out before the men of Shechem and fought with Abimelech.

Oo Gacalna intuu baxay ayuu hor maray dadkii reer Shekem, oo wuxuu la diriray Abiimeleg.

40 A nd Abimelech chased him, and he fled before him, and many were overthrown and wounded, even unto the entering of the gate.

Oo Abiimelegna wuu eryooday Gacal, oo isna wuu cararay, oo dad badan oo dhaawac ah ayaa kaga dhacay tan iyo iridda magaalada laga galo.

41 A nd Abimelech dwelt at Arumah; and Zebul thrust out Gaal and his brethren that they should not dwell in Shechem.

Oo Abiimelegna wuxuu degay Aruumaah, Sebulna wuu eryay Gacal iyo walaalihiisba, oo wuu u diiday inay Shekem degganaadaan.

42 A nd it came to pass on the next day that the people went out into the field, and they told Abimelech.

Oo subaxdii dambe ayaa dadkii duurka tegey oo ay Abiimeleg u sheegeen wixii dhacay.

43 A nd he took the people and divided them into three companies and set ambushes in the field and looked, and, behold, the people were come forth out of the city; and he rose up against them and smote them.

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.

44 A nd Abimelech and the company that was with him rushed forward and stood in the entering of the gate of the city, and the two other companies ran upon all the people that were in the fields and slew them.

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.

45 A nd Abimelech fought against the city all that day, and he took the city and slew the people that were therein and beat down the city and sowed it with salt.

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.

46 A nd when those of the tower of Shechem heard that, they entered into the stronghold of the temple of the god Berith.

Oo dadkii ku jiray munaaraddii Shekem markay taas maqleen, ayay galeen qalcaddii ku tiil gurigii ilaahooda Beriid la odhan jiray.

47 A nd it was told Abimelech how all those of the tower of Shechem were gathered together.

Markaasaa Abiimeleg waxaa loo sheegay in dadkii ku jiray munaaraddii Shekem oo dhammu ay isku urursan yihiin.

48 T hen Abimelech went up to Mount Zalmon, he and all the people that were with him; and Abimelech took an axe in his hand and cut down a bough from the trees and took it and laid it on his shoulder and said unto the people that were with him, What ye have seen me do, make haste and do as I have done.

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.

49 A nd all the people likewise cut down each one his bough and followed Abimelech and put them next to the stronghold and set the stronghold on fire upon them; so that all those of the tower of Shechem died, about a thousand men and women.

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.

50 ¶ Then Abimelech went to Thebez and laid siege against Thebez and took it.

Oo haddana Abiimeleg wuxuu tegey Teebees, oo wuxuu degay meel ka soo hor jeedda, markaasuu qabsaday.

51 B ut in the midst of the city there was a strong tower, and all the men and women fled there, and all those of the city, and shutting the doors behind them, they climbed up to the top of the tower.

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.

52 A nd Abimelech came to the tower, and fighting against it, he came to the door of the tower to burn it with fire.

Markaasaa Abiimeleg munaaraddii yimid, wuuna la diriray, oo wuxuu u dhowaaday iridda munaaradda inuu dab ku gubo.

53 B ut a woman cast a piece of a millstone upon Abimelech’s head and crushed his skull.

Naag baa kor dhagaxshiid kaga soo tuurtay Abiimeleg madaxiisii, oo burburisay dhakadiisii.

54 T hen he called hastily unto the young man, his armourbearer, and said unto him, Draw thy sword and slay me that it not be said of me, A woman slew him. And his young man thrust him through, and he died.

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.

55 A nd when the Israelites saw that Abimelech was dead, they departed each one unto his place.

Dadkii reer binu Israa'iilna markay arkeen inuu Abiimeleg dhintay ayaa nin waluba meeshiisii tegey.

56 T hus God rendered the wickedness of Abimelech, which he did against his father in slaying his seventy brethren.

Oo sidaasaa Ilaah Abiimeleg xumaantii uu aabbihiis ku sameeyey uga jeebay, waayo, wuxuu laayay toddobaatan walaalihiis ah:

57 A nd all the evil of the men of Shechem God rendered upon their heads, and upon them came the curse of Jotham, the son of Jerubbaal.

oo dadkii reer Shekem xumaantoodii oo dhan Ilaah baa ka jeebay madaxoodii, oo waxaa ku soo degay habaarkii Yootam ina Yerubbacal.
