1 A nd David numbered the people that were with him, and set captains of thousands, and captains of hundreds over them.

Markaasaa Daa'uud wuxuu tiriyey dadkii isaga la jiray, oo wuxuu u yeelay saraakiil kun kun u taliya iyo saraakiil boqol boqol u taliya.

2 A nd David sent forth a third part of the people 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.

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.

3 B ut the people answered, 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 now thou art worth ten thousand of us: therefore now it is better that thou succour us out of the city.

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.

4 A nd the king said unto them, What seemeth you best I will do. And the king stood by the gate side, and all the people came out by hundreds and by thousands.

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.

5 A nd 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.

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.

6 S o the people went out into the field against Israel: and the battle was in the wood of Ephraim;

Saas daraaddeed dadkii dibadday u baxeen oo waxay reer binu Israa'iil kaga hor tageen duurka, oo dagaalkiina wuxuu ka dhacay kayntii reer Efrayim.

7 W here the people of Israel were slain before the servants of David, and there was there a great slaughter that day of twenty thousand men.

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.

8 F or the battle was there scattered over the face of all the country: and the wood devoured more people that day than the sword devoured.

Oo dagaalkiina wuxuu ku faafay waddankii oo dhan, oo maalintaas waxaa kayntii cuntay dad ka sii badan intii seeftu cuntay.

9 A nd Absalom met the servants of David. And Absalom rode upon a mule, and the mule went under the thick boughs of a great oak, and his head caught hold of the oak, and he was taken up between the heaven and the earth; and the mule that was under him went away.

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.

10 A nd a certain man saw it, and told Joab, and said, Behold, I saw Absalom hanged in an oak.

Markaasaa nin arkay, oo Yoo'aab u soo sheegay, oo wuxuu ku yidhi, War, waxaan soo arkay Absaaloom oo geed ka lalmada.

11 A nd Joab said unto the man that told him, And, behold, thou sawest him, and why didst thou not smite him there to the ground? and I would have given thee ten shekels of silver, and a girdle.

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.

12 A nd the man said unto Joab, Though I should receive a thousand shekels of silver in mine hand, yet would I not put forth mine 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.

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.

13 O therwise I should have wrought falsehood against mine own life: for there is no matter hid from the king, and thou thyself wouldest have set thyself against me.

Ama haddaan saas samayn lahaa naftaydaan been kula macaamiloon lahaa, waayo, boqorka waxba kama qarsoona, adiga qudhaaduna waad igu kici lahayd.

14 T hen 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 oak.

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.

15 A nd ten young men that bare Joab's armour compassed about and smote Absalom, and slew him.

Kolkaasaa waxaa Absaaloom hareereeyey toban nin oo dhallinyaro ahaa oo Yoo'aab hub u siday, oo intay dileen ayay gowraceen.

16 A nd Joab blew the trumpet, and the people returned from pursuing after Israel: for Joab held back the people.

Markaasaa Yoo'aab buunkii afuufay, oo dadkiina waxay ka soo noqdeen eryadkii ay reer binu Israa'iil eryanayeen, waayo, Yoo'aab baa u diiday.

17 A nd they took Absalom, and cast him into a great pit in the wood, and laid a very great heap of stones upon him: and all Israel fled every one to his tent.

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.

18 N ow Absalom in his lifetime had taken and reared up for himself a 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 unto this day, Absalom's place.

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. Daa'uud Oo Baroortay

19 T hen 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.

Markaasaa Axiimacas oo ahaa ina Saadooq yidhi, Haddaba i daaya aan ordee, oo aan boqorkii u soo warramee, sida Rabbigu uga aarguday cadaawayaashiisii.

20 A nd Joab said unto him, Thou shalt not bear tidings this day, but thou shalt bear tidings another day: but this day thou shalt bear no tidings, because the king's son is dead.

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.

21 T hen said Joab to Cushi, Go tell the king what thou hast seen. And Cushi bowed himself unto Joab, and ran.

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.

22 T hen said Ahimaaz the son of Zadok yet again to Joab, But howsoever, let me, I pray thee, also run after Cushi. And Joab said, Wherefore wilt thou run, my son, seeing that thou hast no tidings ready?

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?

23 B ut howsoever, said he, let me run. And he said unto him, Run. Then Ahimaaz ran by the way of the plain, and overran Cushi.

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.

24 A nd David sat between the two gates: and the watchman went up to the roof over the gate unto the wall, and lifted up his eyes, and looked, and behold a man running alone.

Oo Daa'uudna wuxuu fadhiyey labada irdood dhexdooda, waardiyihiina wuxuu fuulay iridda saqafkeeda ilaa derbigii, markaasuu wax fiiriyey, oo arkay nin keligiis soo ordaya.

25 A nd 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.

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.

26 A nd 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.

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.

27 A nd the watchman said, Me thinketh 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.

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.

28 A nd Ahimaaz called, and said unto the king, All is well. And he fell down to the earth upon his face before the king, and said, Blessed be the Lord thy God, which hath delivered up the men that lifted up their hand against my lord the king.

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.

29 A nd the king said, Is the young man Absalom safe? 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.

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.

30 A nd the king said unto him, Turn aside, and stand here. And he turned aside, and stood still.

Markaasaa boqorkii wuxuu yidhi, Bal gees u leexo, oo halkan istaag. Markaasuu gees u leexday oo istaagay.

31 A nd, behold, Cushi came; and Cushi said, Tidings, my lord the king: for the Lord hath avenged thee this day of all them that rose up against thee.

Markaasaa kii reer Kuush yimid, oo yidhi, War baan kuu wadaa, boqorow, sayidkaygiiyow, waayo, Rabbigu maantuu kaaga soo aarguday kuwii kugu kacay oo dhan.

32 A nd the king said unto Cushi, Is the young man Absalom safe? And Cushi answered, The enemies of my lord the king, and all that rise against thee to do thee hurt, be as that young man is.

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.

33 A nd 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 God I had died for thee, O Absalom, my son, my son!

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!
