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

After this it happened that Absalom provided himself with chariots and horses, and fifty men to run 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.

Now Absalom would rise early and stand beside the way to the gate. So it was, whenever anyone who had a lawsuit came to the king for a decision, that Absalom would call to him and say, “What city are you from?” And he would say, “Your servant is from such and such a tribe 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, “Look, your case is good and right; but there is no deputy of the king to hear you.”

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 I were made judge in the land, and everyone who has any suit or cause would come to me; then 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 so it was, whenever anyone came near to bow down to him, that he would put out his hand and take 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 acted toward all Israel who came to the king for judgment. So Absalom stole 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 to pass after forty years that Absalom said to the king, “Please, let me go to Hebron and pay the vow which I made to the Lord.

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 took a vow while I dwelt at Geshur in Syria, saying, ‘If the Lord indeed brings me back to Jerusalem, then I will serve the Lord.’”

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

And 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.

Then 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 reigns 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.

And with Absalom went two hundred men invited from Jerusalem, and they went along innocently and 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

Then Absalom sent for Ahithophel the Gilonite, David’s counselor, from his city—from Giloh—while he offered sacrifices. And the conspiracy grew strong, for the people with Absalom continually increased in number. David Escapes from Jerusalem

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

Now 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!

So David said to all his servants who were with him at Jerusalem, “Arise, and let us flee, or we shall not escape from Absalom. Make haste to depart, lest he overtake us suddenly and bring disaster upon 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.

And the king’s servants said to the king, “We are your servants, ready to do whatever my lord the king commands.”

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

Then the king went out with all his household after him. But the king left ten women, concubines, to keep the house.

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

And the king went out with all the people after him, and stopped at the outskirts.

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.

Then all his servants passed before him; and all the Cherethites, all the Pelethites, and all the Gittites, six hundred men who had followed him from Gath, passed 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 are you also going with us? Return and remain with the king. For you are a foreigner and also an exile from 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.

In fact, you came only yesterday. Should I make you wander up and down with us today, since I go I know not where? Return, and take your brethren back. 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 in whatever place my lord the king shall be, whether in death or life, even 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.

So David said to Ittai, “Go, and cross over.” Then Ittai the Gittite and all his men and all the little ones who were with him crossed over.

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.

And all the country wept with a loud voice, and all the people crossed over. The king himself also crossed over the Brook Kidron, and all the people crossed 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.

There was Zadok also, and all the Levites with him, bearing the ark of the covenant of God. And they set down the ark of God, and Abiathar went up until all the people had finished crossing over 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.

Then the king said to Zadok, “Carry the ark of God back into the city. If I find favor in the eyes of the Lord, He will bring me back and show me both it and His dwelling place.

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

But if He says thus: ‘I have no delight in you,’ 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 also said to Zadok the priest, “ Are you not a seer? Return to the city in peace, and your two sons with you, Ahimaaz your son, 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 will wait in the plains 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 carried the ark of God back to Jerusalem. And they 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.

So David went up by the Ascent of the Mount of Olives, and wept as he went up; and he had his head covered and went barefoot. And all the people who were with him covered their heads and went up, weeping as they went up.

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.

Then someone told David, saying, “Ahithophel is among the conspirators with Absalom.” And David said, “O Lord, I pray, turn the counsel of Ahithophel into 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.

Now it happened when David had come to the top of the mountain, where he worshiped God—there was Hushai the Archite coming to meet him with his robe 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 go on with me, then you will become 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 was your father’s servant previously, so I will now also be your servant,’ then you may defeat 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.

And do you not have Zadok and Abiathar the priests with you there? Therefore it will be that whatever you hear from the king’s house, you shall tell 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.

Indeed they have there with them their two sons, Ahimaaz, Zadok’s son, and Jonathan, Abiathar’s son; and by them you shall send me everything 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, went into the city. And Absalom came into Jerusalem.
