1 O o taas dabadeedna Absaaloom ayaa diyaarsaday gaadhifardood iyo fardo, iyo konton nin oo hortiisa orodda.

Now it came about after this that Absalom provided for himself a chariot and horses and fifty men as runners before him.

2 M arkaasaa Absaaloom aroortii kacay, oo ag istaagay jidkii iridda, oo markuu nin dacwo qaba boqorka xukun ugu imanayo ayuu Absaaloom u yeedhi jiray, oo wuxuu ku odhan jiray, Magaaladee baad ka timid? Oo isna wuxuu odhan jiray, Anoo addoonkaaga ah waxaan ka mid ahay qabiilooyinka reer binu Israa'iil midkood.

Absalom used to rise early and stand beside the way to the gate; and when any man had a suit to come to the king for judgment, Absalom would call to him and say, “From what city are you?” And he would say, “Your servant is from one of the tribes of Israel.”

3 M arkaasaa Absaaloom wuxuu ku odhan jiray, Xaalalkaagu waa wanaagsan yihiin, waana qumman yihiin; laakiinse nin boqorku amray oo ku maqlayaa ma jiro.

Then Absalom would say to him, “See, your claims are good and right, but no man listens to you on the part of the king.”

4 O o Absaaloom wuxuu kaloo yidhi, Way, bal maa aniga dalka xaakin la iiga dhigo, si nin alla ninkii dacwo ama muraad lihi iigu yimaado oo aan caddaalad ugu xukumo!

Moreover, Absalom would say, “ Oh that one would appoint me judge in the land, then every man who has any suit or cause could come to me and I would give him justice.”

5 O o waxay ahaatay in ninkii inuu sujuudo ugu soo dhowaadaba, uu Absaaloom intuu gacanta soo fidiyo oo qabto dhunkan jiray.

And when a man came near to prostrate himself before him, he would put out his hand and take hold of him and kiss him.

6 O o reer binu Israa'iil kii boqorka xukun ugu yimid oo dhan Absaaloom sidaasuu ku samayn jiray dhammaantood; oo sidaasuu Absaaloom qalbiga uga xaday dadkii reer binu Israa'iil.

In this manner Absalom dealt with all Israel who came to the king for judgment; so Absalom stole away the hearts of the men of Israel.

7 O o markay afartan sannadood dhammaadeen ayaa Absaaloom boqorkii ku yidhi, Waan ku baryayaaye, i sii daa aan Xebroon tagee, waayo, waxaan doonayaa inaan halkaas ku bixiyo nidar aan Rabbiga u galay.

Now it came about at the end of forty years that Absalom said to the king, “Please let me go and pay my vow which I have vowed to the Lord, in Hebron.

8 W aayo, anoo addoonkaaga ah nidar baan galay intii aan joogay Geshuur oo ku taal Suuriya, oo waxaan idhi, Haddii Rabbigu Yeruusaalem mar kale igu celiyo, markaasaan Rabbiga allabari u bixin doonaa.

For your servant vowed a vow while I was living at Geshur in Aram, saying, ‘ If the Lord shall indeed bring me back to Jerusalem, then I will serve the Lord.’”

9 B oqorkiina wuxuu ku yidhi, Nabad ku tag. Kolkaasuu kacay oo tegey Xebroon.

The king said to him, “Go in peace.” So he arose and went to Hebron.

10 L aakiinse Absaaloom jaajusiin buu u diray qabiilooyinkii reer binu Israa'iil oo dhan, oo wuxuu ku yidhi, Markaad buunka dhawaaqiisa maqashaan, waxaad tidhaahdaan, Absaaloom waa ku boqramay Xebroon.

But Absalom sent spies throughout all the tribes of Israel, saying, “As soon as you hear the sound of the trumpet, then you shall say, ‘ Absalom is king in Hebron.’”

11 O o Absaaloomna Yeruusaalem waxaa ka raacay laba boqol oo nin, oo la marti qaaday, oo waxay tageen iyagoo xog la', oo aan waxba ogayn.

Then two hundred men went with Absalom from Jerusalem, who were invited and went innocently, and they did not know anything.

12 O o Absaaloomna wuxuu magaaladii Giloh ahayd ugu cid dirsaday Axiitofel kii reer Giloh, oo ahaa Daa'uud taliyihiisa, intuu allabarigii bixinayay. Oo sirqoolkiina aad buu u xoog badnaa; waayo, dadkii Absaaloom la jiray way soo kordhayeen had iyo goorba. Cararkii Daa'uud

And Absalom sent for Ahithophel the Gilonite, David’s counselor, from his city Giloh, while he was offering the sacrifices. And the conspiracy was strong, for the people increased continually with Absalom. David Flees Jerusalem

13 O o markaasaa Daa'uud waxaa u yimid wargeeye; isagoo leh, Dadkii reer binu Israa'iil qalbigoodii wuxuu raacay Absaaloom.

Then a messenger came to David, saying, “ The hearts of the men of Israel are with Absalom.”

14 D aa'uudna wuxuu addoommadiisii Yeruusaalem la joogay oo dhan ku yidhi, War ina kiciya aynu cararnee; haddii kalese midkeenna Absaaloom ka baxsan maayo; haddaba dhaqsada oo baxa, waaba intaasoo uu haddiiba ina soo qabtaaye, oo belaayo inagu ridaaye, oo uu magaaladana seef ku laayaaye!

David said to all his servants who were with him at Jerusalem, “ Arise and let us flee, for otherwise none of us will escape from Absalom. Go in haste, or he will overtake us quickly and bring down calamity on us and strike the city with the edge of the sword.”

15 M arkaasaa boqorka addoommadiisii boqorkii ku yidhaahdeen, Bal eeg, annagoo ah addoommadaadu diyaar baannu u nahay inaannu samayno wax kasta oo aad doorato, boqorow, sayidkayagiiyow.

Then the king’s servants said to the king, “Behold, your servants are ready to do whatever my lord the king chooses.”

16 M arkaasaa boqorkii baxay, isagoo reerkiisii oo dhammu daba socdaan. Oo boqorkii toban naagood oo addoommo ahaa ayuu uga tegey inay gurigii dhawraan.

So the king went out and all his household with him. But the king left ten concubines to keep the house.

17 B oqorkiina wuu baxay, oo dadkii oo dhammuna isagay daba socdeen; oo meel fog bay joogsadeen.

The king went out and all the people with him, and they stopped at the last house.

18 O o addoommadiisii oo dhammuna way dhinac mareen, iyaga iyo reer Kereetiim oo dhan, iyo reer Feleetii oo dhan, iyo reer Gad oo dhan, kuwaasoo ahaa lix boqol oo nin oo Gad ka soo raacday, dhammaantood boqorkii way hor mareen.

Now all his servants passed on beside him, all the Cherethites, all the Pelethites and all the Gittites, six hundred men who had come with him from Gath, passed on before the king.

19 M arkaasaa boqorkii wuxuu ku yidhi Itay oo ahaa reer Gad, War adiguna maxaad noola socotaa? Noqo, oo boqorka la joog; waayo, adigu waxaad tahay qariib, iyo weliba mid waddankiisii laga soo masaafuriyey.

Then the king said to Ittai the Gittite, “Why will you also go with us? Return and remain with the king, for you are a foreigner and also an exile; return to your own place.

20 W axaad timid shalayto, haddaba sidee baan maanta noola kaa warwareejiyaa? Maxaa yeelay, anigu waxaan tegayaa meel alla meeshaan doonayoba, haddaba naga noqo, oo walaalahaana dib u celi; oo naxariis iyo runuba ha kula jireen.

You came only yesterday, and shall I today make you wander with us, while I go where I will? Return and take back your brothers; mercy and truth be with you.”

21 M arkaasaa Itay wuxuu boqorkii ugu jawaabay, Waxaan ku dhaartay Rabbiga noloshiisa, iyo noloshaada, boqorow, sayidkaygiiyow, sida runtaa meel alla meeshii aad joogtid, ama aan noolaado ama aan dhintee, anoo addoonkaaga ahuna halkaasaan joogayaa.

But Ittai answered the king and said, “As the Lord lives, and as my lord the king lives, surely wherever my lord the king may be, whether for death or for life, there also your servant will be.”

22 K olkaasaa Daa'uud wuxuu Itay ku yidhi, Haddaba tag oo gudub. Markaasaa Itay kii reer Gadna gudbay, isagii iyo raggiisii oo dhan, iyo yaryarkii la socday oo dhan.

Therefore David said to Ittai, “Go and pass over.” So Ittai the Gittite passed over with all his men and all the little ones who were with him.

23 O o waddankii oo dhanna waxaa lagaga ooyay cod weyn, oo dadkii oo dhammuna webigii way ka gudbeen; oo boqorka qudhiisii wuu ka gudbay toggii Qidroon, oo dadkii oo dhammuna waxay u gudbeen xagga cidlada.

While all the country was weeping with a loud voice, all the people passed over. The king also passed over the brook Kidron, and all the people passed over toward the way of the wilderness.

24 O o bal eeg, Saadooqna waa yimid, isagoo ay la socdaan reer Laawi oo dhan, oo sida sanduuqii axdiga Ilaah, markaasay sanduuqii Ilaah dhigeen, oo Aabyaataarna kor buu tegey, ilaa dadkii oo dhammu ay magaaladii ka soo gudbeen.

Now behold, Zadok also came, and all the Levites with him carrying the ark of the covenant of God. And they set down the ark of God, and Abiathar came up until all the people had finished passing from the city.

25 M arkaasaa boqorkii wuxuu Saadooq ku yidhi, Sanduuqa Ilaah qaad oo magaaladii ku celi. Hadduu Rabbigu raalli iga yahay, mar kaluu i soo celin doonaa, oo wuu i tusi doonaa isaga iyo rugta Ilaahba.

The king said to Zadok, “Return the ark of God to the city. If I find favor in the sight of the Lord, then He will bring me back again and show me both it and His habitation.

26 L aakiinse hadduu igu yidhaahdo, Kuguma faraxsani; bal eeg, haddaba waa i kane, ha igu sameeyo sidii isaga la wanaagsan.

But if He should say thus, ‘ I have no delight in you,’ behold, here I am, let Him do to me as seems good to Him.”

27 O o haddana boqorkii wuxuu wadaadkii Saadooq ahaa ku yidhi, Sow adigu wax arke ma tihid? Haddaba magaaladii ku nabad noqda, idinka iyo labadiinna wiil ee idinla jirta, kuwaas oo ah wiilkaaga Axiimacas iyo Yoonaataan oo ah ina Aabyaataar.

The king said also to Zadok the priest, “Are you not a seer? Return to the city in peace and your two sons with you, your son Ahimaaz and Jonathan the son of Abiathar.

28 O o anna waxaan sii joogayaa meesha mareenka ah ee cidlada loogu sii gudbo, jeeruu war iiga kiin yimaado.

See, I am going to wait at the fords of the wilderness until word comes from you to inform me.”

29 S idaas daraaddeed Saadooq iyo Aabyaataar sanduuqii Ilaah bay qaadeen, waxayna mar kale ku celiyeen Yeruusaalem, oo iyana halkaasay iska sii joogeen.

Therefore Zadok and Abiathar returned the ark of God to Jerusalem and remained there.

30 O o Daa'uudna wuxuu fuulay jiirtii Buur Saytuun oo intuu sii socdayna wuu ooyayay, isagoo hagoogan, oo caga cad, oo dadkii la jiray oo dhammuna midkood waluba wuu hagoogtay, oo kor bay tageen, iyagoo ooyaya intay kor u sii socdeen.

And David went up the ascent of the Mount of Olives, and wept as he went, and his head was covered and he walked barefoot. Then all the people who were with him each covered his head and went up weeping as they went.

31 O o Daa'uud waxaa loo soo sheegay inuu Axiitofelna Absaaloom kula jiro shirqoolkii. Markaasaa Daa'uud wuxuu yidhi, Rabbiyow, waan ku baryayaaye, Axiitofel taladiisa nacasnimo u beddel.

Now someone told David, saying, “ Ahithophel is among the conspirators with Absalom.” And David said, “O Lord, I pray, make the counsel of Ahithophel foolishness.”

32 O o markii Daa'uud yimid jiirta dusheedii, meeshii Ilaah lagu caabudi jiray, waxaa u yimid Xuushay kii reer Arkii oo jubbaddiisii jeexjeexay, oo madaxana ciid ku shubtay.

It happened as David was coming to the summit, where God was worshiped, that behold, Hushai the Archite met him with his coat torn and dust on his head.

33 M arkaasaa Daa'uud ku yidhi, Haddaad i raacdo oo aad ila gudubto, culays baad igu noqonaysaa;

David said to him, “If you pass over with me, then you will be a burden to me.

34 l aakiinse haddaad magaaladii ku noqotid, oo aad Absaaloom ku tidhaahdid, Boqorow, addoonkaagii baan noqonayaa; oo sidaan hore aabbahaa addoonka ugu ahaan jiray, ayaan haddana adiga addoon kuugu ahaanayaa; markaas waxaad iiga adkaanaysaa talada Axiitofel.

But if you return to the city, and say to Absalom, ‘I will be your servant, O king; as I have been your father’s servant in time past, so I will now be your servant,’ then you can thwart the counsel of Ahithophel for me.

35 O o halkaasna sow kulama joogaan wadaaddadii ahaa Saadooq iyo Aabyaataar? Sidaas daraaddeed wax alla wixii aad guriga boqorka ka maqashoba, waxaad u soo sheegtaa wadaaddadii ahaa Saadooq iyo Aabyaataar.

Are not Zadok and Abiathar the priests with you there? So it shall be that whatever you hear from the king’s house, you shall report to Zadok and Abiathar the priests.

36 O o iyana waxay halkaas ku haystaan labadoodii wiil oo ahaa Axiimacas ina Saadooq, iyo Yoonaataan ina Aabyaataar; oo iyaga waxaad iigu soo dhiibtaan wax alla wixii aad maqashaanba.

Behold their two sons are with them there, Ahimaaz, Zadok’s son and Jonathan, Abiathar’s son; and by them you shall send me everything that you hear.”

37 S idaas daraaddeed Xuushay oo ahaa Daa'uud saaxiibkiis magaaladii buu soo galay; oo Absaaloomna Yeruusaalem buu soo galay.

So Hushai, David’s friend, came into the city, and Absalom came into Jerusalem.
