1 T hen David numbered the people who were with him and set over them commanders of thousands and commanders of hundreds.

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 D avid sent the people out, one third under the command of Joab, one third under the command of Abishai the son of Zeruiah, Joab’s brother, and one third under the command of Ittai the Gittite. And the king said to the people, “I myself will surely go out with you 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 said, “ You should not go out; for if we indeed flee, they will not care about us; even if half of us die, they will not care about us. But you are worth ten thousand of us; therefore now it is better that you be ready to help us from 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 T hen the king said to them, “Whatever seems best to you I will do.” So the king stood beside the gate, and all the people went out by hundreds and 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 T he king charged Joab and Abishai and Ittai, saying, “ Deal gently for my sake with the young man Absalom.” And all the people heard when the king charged all the commanders 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 T hen the people went out into the field against Israel, and the battle took place in the forest 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 T he people of Israel were defeated there before the servants of David, and the slaughter there that day was great, 20, 000 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 there was spread over the whole countryside, and the forest 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 N ow Absalom happened to meet the servants of David. For Absalom was riding on his mule, and the mule went under the thick branches of a great oak. And his head caught fast in the oak, so he was left hanging between heaven and earth, while the mule that was under him kept going.

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 W hen a certain man saw it, he told Joab and said, “Behold, I saw Absalom hanging 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 T hen Joab said to the man who had told him, “Now behold, you saw him! Why then did you not strike him there to the ground? And I would have given you ten pieces of silver and a belt.”

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 T he man said to Joab, “Even if I should receive a thousand pieces of silver in my hand, I would not put out my hand against the king’s son; for in our hearing the king charged you and Abishai and Ittai, saying, ‘ Protect for me 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, if I had dealt treacherously against his life (and there is nothing hidden from the king), then you yourself would have stood aloof.”

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

14 T hen Joab said, “I will not waste time here with you.” So he took three spears 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 who carried Joab’s armor gathered around and struck Absalom and killed him.

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

16 T hen Joab blew the trumpet, and the people returned from pursuing Israel, for Joab restrained 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 T hey took Absalom and cast him into a deep pit in the forest and erected over him a very great heap of stones. And all Israel fled, each 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 set up for himself a pillar which is in the King’s Valley, for he said, “ I have no son to preserve my name.” So he named the pillar after his own name, and it is called Absalom’s Monument to this day. David Is Grief-stricken

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 Ahimaaz the son of Zadok said, “Please let me run and bring the king news that the Lord has freed him from the hand 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 B ut Joab said to him, “You are not the man to carry news this day, but you shall carry news another day; however, you shall carry no news today 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 Joab said to the Cushite, “Go, tell the king what you have seen.” So the Cushite bowed to 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 N ow Ahimaaz the son of Zadok said once more to Joab, “But whatever happens, please let me also run after the Cushite.” And Joab said, “Why would you run, my son, since you will have no reward for going?”

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 “ But whatever happens,” he said, “I will run.” So he said to him, “Run.” Then Ahimaaz ran by way of the plain and passed up the Cushite.

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 N ow David was sitting between the two gates; and the watchman went up to the roof of the gate by the wall, and raised his eyes and looked, and behold, a man running by himself.

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 T he watchman called and told the king. And the king said, “If he is by himself there is good news in his mouth.” And he came nearer and nearer.

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 T hen the watchman saw another man running; and the watchman called to the gatekeeper and said, “Behold, another man running by himself.” And the king said, “This one also is bringing good news.”

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 T he watchman said, “I think the running of the first one is like the running of Ahimaaz the son of Zadok.” And the king said, “ This is a good man and comes with good news.”

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 himaaz called and said to the king, “ All is well.” And he prostrated himself before the king with his face to the ground. And he said, “ Blessed is the Lord your God, who has delivered up the men who lifted their hands 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 T he king said, “ Is it well with the young man Absalom?” And Ahimaaz answered, “When Joab sent the king’s servant, and your servant, I saw a great tumult, but I did not know 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 T hen the king said, “Turn aside and stand here.” So he turned aside and stood still.

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

31 B ehold, the Cushite arrived, and the Cushite said, “Let my lord the king receive good news, for the Lord has freed you this day from the hand of all those who rose up against you.”

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 T hen the king said to the Cushite, “ Is it well with the young man Absalom?” And the Cushite answered, “ Let the enemies of my lord the king, and all who rise up against you for evil, be as that young man!”

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 T he king was deeply moved and went up to the chamber over the gate and wept. And thus he said as he walked, “ O my son Absalom, my son, my son Absalom! Would I had died instead of you, 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!
