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

Now Joab the son of Zeruiah saw that the king missed Absalom very much.

2 M arkaasaa 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;

So Joab sent for a wise woman from Tekoa, and said to her, “Pretend to be filled with sorrow. Dress as if you were filled with sorrow, and do not pour oil on yourself. Dress like a woman who has been filled with sorrow for the dead many days.

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

Then go to the king and speak to him in this way.” And Joab told her what to say.

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

When the woman of Tekoa spoke to the king, she fell on her face to the ground, showing honor, and said, “Help, O king.”

5 M arkaasaa 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.

The king said to her, “What is your trouble?” And she answered, “I am a woman whose husband has died.

6 O o 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.

Your woman servant had two sons. But they fought together in the field and there was no one to pull them apart. So one hit the other and killed him.

7 O o 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.

Now the whole family has come against your woman servant. They say, ‘Give us the one who killed his brother. We must put him to death for the life of his brother whom he killed.’ So I would be without a son to receive what belonged to his parents when I die. They would put out the last of the fire which is left to me. My husband would be left without a name and with no children on the earth.”

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

Then the king said to the woman, “Go to your house. I will say what should be done about your trouble.”

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

The woman of Tekoa said to the king, “O my lord the king, the sin is on me and my father’s family. But the king and his throne are without guilt.”

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

The king said, “If anyone says anything to you, bring him to me. And he will not touch you again.”

11 M arkaasay 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.

Then she said, “I beg the king to remember the Lord your God, that the one who punishes for blood will stop destroying. Or my son might be destroyed.” And the king said, “As the Lord lives, not one hair of your son will fall to the ground.”

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

Then the woman said, “Let your woman servant speak to my lord the king.” And he said, “Speak.”

13 N aagtiina 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.

The woman said, “Why then have you planned such a thing against the people of God? For in deciding in this way, the king is as one who is guilty. For the king does not bring home his son who has been driven away.

14 W aayo, 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.

It is sure that we will die. We are like water poured on the ground, which cannot be picked up again. But God does not take away life. He plans ways so that the one who is driven away may not be kept away from Him.

15 S idaas 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.

I have come to say this to my lord the king because the people have made me afraid. Your woman servant thought, ‘I will speak to the king. It might be that the king will do what his woman servant asks.

16 W aayo, 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.

For the king will hear and save his woman servant from the man who would destroy both me and my son from the gift of God.’

17 H addaba 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.

Then your woman servant thought, ‘The word of my lord the king will comfort me. For my lord the king is like the angel of God in understanding what is good and bad. May the Lord your God be with you.’”

18 M arkaasaa 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.

Then the king said to the woman, “Do not hide anything from me that I ask you.” And the woman said, “Let my lord the king speak.”

19 B oqorkiina 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.

So the king said, “Is Joab with you in all this?” The woman answered, “As your soul lives, my lord the king, no one can turn to the right or left from anything my lord the king has said. Yes, it was your servant Joab who told me to do this. It was he who put all these words in the mouth of your woman servant.

20 A ddoonkaaga 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.

Your servant Joab has done this to change the way things are now. But my lord is wise like the angel of God, to know all that is on the earth.”

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

Then the king said to Joab, “See now, I will do this. Go and bring back the young man Absalom.”

22 K olkaasaa 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.

And Joab fell on his face to the ground in honor and thanks to the king. Joab said, “Today your servant knows that I have found favor in your eyes, O my lord the king. Because the king has done what his servant has asked of him.”

23 S idaas daraaddeed Yoo'aab wuu kacay, oo Geshuur tegey, oo Absaaloomna Yeruusaalem buu keenay.

So Joab got up and went to Geshur, and brought Absalom to Jerusalem.

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

But the king said, “Let him go to his own house. Do not let him see my face.” So Absalom went to his own house and did not see the king’s face. David Forgives Absalom

25 H addaba 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.

Now there was no one in Israel as good looking and as much praised as Absalom. There was nothing wrong with him from the bottom of his foot to the top of his head.

26 H addaba 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.

At the end of every year he would cut the hair from his head, for it was heavy on him. When he cut it, he weighed the hair of his head. It weighed as much as 200 pieces of silver, by the king’s weight.

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

Three sons were born to Absalom, and one daughter whose name was Tamar. She was a beautiful woman.

28 O o Absaaloomna Yeruusaalem laba sannadood oo dhan ayuu degganaa, mana uu arag wejigii boqorka.

Absalom lived two whole years in Jerusalem, and did not see the king’s face.

29 M arkaasaa 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.

Then Absalom sent for Joab, to send him to the king. But Joab would not come to him. So he sent for him a second time. But he would not come.

30 S idaas 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.

He said to his servants, “See, Joab’s field is next to mine, and he has barley there. Go and set it on fire.” So Absalom’s servants burned the field.

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

Then Joab got up and came to Absalom at his house, and said to him, “Why have your servants burned my field?”

32 A bsaaloomna 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.

Absalom answered Joab, “I sent for you, saying, ‘Come here, that I may send you to say to the king, “Why have I come from Geshur? It would have been better for me to stay there.”’ Now let me see the king’s face. If there is guilt in me, let him put me to death.”

33 S idaas 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.

Then Joab went to the king and told him. And he called for Absalom. So he came to the king and put his face to the ground in front of him. And the king kissed Absalom.
