1 H addaba waxaa soo dhowaaday wakhtigii Daa'uud dhiman lahaa; oo wuxuu amray wiilkiisii Sulaymaan oo ku yidhi,

When David’s time to die was near, he told his son Solomon,

2 A nigu waxaan marayaa jidka dadka dhulka oo dhan; haddaba xoog yeelo, oo raganimadaada muuji,

“I am going the way of all the earth. So be strong. Show yourself to be a man.

3 o o Rabbiga Ilaahaaga ahna amarkiisa xaji, si aad jidadkiisa ugu socoto, oo aad u dhawrto qaynuunnadiisa, iyo amarradiisa, iyo xukummadiisa, iyo markhaatifurkiisa, si waafaqsan waxa ku qoran sharciga Muuse inaad ku liibaantid waxa aad samaynaysid oo dhan, iyo meel kastoo aad u jeesatoba;

Do what the Lord your God tells you. Walk in His ways. Keep all His Laws and His Word, by what is written in the Law of Moses. Then you will do well in all that you do and in every place you go.

4 i nuu Rabbigu oofiyo eraygiisii uu igaga hadlay, isagoo leh, Carruurtaadu hadday jidkooda dhawraan, oo ay qalbigooda oo dhan iyo naftooda oo dhanba si run ah hortayda ugu socdaan, waayi maysid nin carshiga dalka Israa'iil ku fadhiista.

Then the Lord will keep His promise to me. He has said to me, ‘Your sons must be careful of their way, to walk before Me in truth with all their heart and soul. If they do, you will never be without a man on the throne of Israel.’

5 O o weliba waad og tahay wixii uu Yoo'aab oo ay Seruuyaah dhashay igu sameeyey, ee uu ku sameeyey labadii sirkaal oo ciidanka dalka Israa'iil, kuwaasoo ahaa Abneer ina Neer, iyo Camaasaa ina Yeter, ee uu labadaba dilay, iyo inuu wakhtiga nabadda dhiiggii dagaalka daadiyey, oo uu dhiiggii dagaalkana mariyey dhex-xidhkiisa dhexda ugu xidhnaa, iyo kabahiisa cagaha ugu jiray.

Now you know what Zeruiah’s son Joab did to me. You know what he did to the two captains of the armies of Israel. He killed Abner the son of Ner, and Amasa the son of Jether in the time of peace as if it were in the time of war. He put the blood of war on his belt and on the shoes of his feet.

6 H addaba wixii kula wanaagsan samee, oo cirrada madaxiisu yaanay nabad ku gelin xabaasha.

So act with wisdom. Do not let his gray hair go down to the grave in peace.

7 L aakiinse u roonow wiilasha Barsillay kan reer Gilecaad, oo iyagu ha noqdeen kuwa ka mid ah kuwa miiskaaga wax ka cuna, waayo, saasay iigu yimaadeen markaan walaalkaa Absaaloom ka cararay.

But show kindness to the sons of Barzillai the Gileadite. Let them be among those who eat at your table. For they helped me when I ran from your brother Absalom.

8 O o bal eeg, waxaa kula jooga Shimcii ina Geeraa, oo ah reer Benyaamiinka deggan Baxuuriim, kaasoo habaar xun igu habaaray maalintii aan Maxanayim tegey; laakiinse wuu igaga hor yimid Webi Urdun, oo i soo dhoweeyey, oo anna waxaan isaga ugu dhaartay oo ku idhi, Seef kugu dili maayo.

See, there is with you Shimei the son of Gera the Benjamite, of Bahurim. It was he who spoke bad words against me on the day I went to Mahanaim. But when he came down to me at the Jordan, I promised him by the Lord, saying, ‘I will not put you to death with the sword.’

9 S idaas daraaddeed inuu eedlaawe yahay ha u qaadan, waayo, waxaad tahay nin xigmad leh, oo waad garan doontaa waxa kuu eg inaad ku samayso, oo waa inaad cirrada madaxiisa dhiig xabaasha la gelisaa.

So do not let him go without being punished. For you are a wise man. You will know what you should do to him. Bring his gray hair down to the grave with blood.” The Death of David

10 O o Daa'uudna wuu dhintay oo la seexday awowayaashiis, oo waxaa lagu aasay magaaladii Daa'uud.

Then David died and was buried in the city of David.

11 O o Daa'uudna wuxuu reer binu Israa'iil boqor u ahaa afartan sannadood; toddoba sannadood ayuu Xebroon ka taliyey, saddex iyo soddon sannadoodna ayuu Yeruusaalem ka taliyey.

He had ruled over Israel forty years. Seven years he ruled in Hebron. And thirty-three years he ruled in Jerusalem.

12 O o Sulaymaanna wuxuu ku fadhiistay carshigii aabbihiis Daa'uud, oo boqortooyadiisiina way sii dhisnaatay. Boqornimadii Sulaymaan Oo Dhisantay

Solomon sat on the throne of his father David and things went well for the nation. Solomon Had Adonijah Killed

13 M arkaasaa Adoniiyaah oo ay Haggiid dhashay u yimid Batshebac oo ahayd Sulaymaan hooyadiis. Oo iyana waxay ku tidhi, War ma nabad baad ku timid? Isna wuxuu yidhi, Haah, nabad baan ku imid.

Now Adonijah the son of Haggith came to Solomon’s mother Bathsheba. She said, “Do you come in peace?” And he said, “Yes, in peace.”

14 O o weliba wuxuu iyadii ku yidhi, Muraad baan kaa leeyahay, iyana waxay tidhi, Bal ii sheeg.

Then he said, “I have something to say to you.” And she said, “Speak.”

15 M arkaasuu ku yidhi, Waad og tahay inaan boqortooyada lahaa, oo ay dadkii dalka Israa'iil oo dhammu fiiro ii lahaayeen inaan boqor u noqdo, habase yeeshee boqortooyadii way rogmatay, oo waxaa yeeshay walaalkay, waayo, xagga Rabbiga buu ka helay.

So he said, “You know that the nation was mine. All Israel thought I would be king. But the nation has become my brother’s, for it was his from the Lord.

16 H addaba wax baan ku weyddiisanayaa, hana ii diidin. Iyana waxay tidhi, Bal ii sheeg.

Now I have one thing to ask of you. Do not say no to me.” And she said to him, “Speak.”

17 M arkaasuu yidhi, Waan ku baryayaaye, iila hadal Boqor Sulaymaan inuu i siiyo Abiishag tan reer Shuuneem aan guursadee, (waayo, Maya, ku odhan maayo.)

He said, “I beg you, speak to Solomon the king. For he will not say no to you. Ask him to give me Abishag the Shunammite as a wife.”

18 M arkaasaa Batshebac waxay tidhi, Waa hagaag, boqorka waan kuula hadli doonaa.

Bathsheba said, “Very well. I will speak to the king for you.”

19 S idaas daraaddeed Batshebac waxay u tagtay Boqor Sulaymaan inay ula hadasho Adoniiyaah. Boqorkiina wuu u sara joogsaday inuu iyada soo dhoweeyo, wuuna u foororsaday iyadii, markaasuu carshigiisii ku fadhiistay, oo wuxuu amray in carshi loo dhigo hooyadiis, markaasay midigtiisa fadhiisatay.

So Bathsheba went to speak to King Solomon for Adonijah. The king stood up to meet her, bowed in front of her, then sat on his throne. He had a seat brought in for the king’s mother, and she sat on his right.

20 K olkaasay tidhi, Wax yar baan kaa baryayaaye, hana ii diidin. Boqorkiina wuxuu ku yidhi, Hooyoy, ii sheeg, waayo, kuu diidi maayo.

She said, “I am asking you for one small thing. Do not say no to me.” And the king said to her, “Ask, my mother. I will not say no to you.”

21 M arkaasay tidhi, Abiishag tan reer Shuuneem ha la siiyo walaalkaa Adoniiyaah ha guursadee.

So she said, “Let Abishag the Shunammite be given to your brother Adonijah as his wife.”

22 K olkaasaa Boqor Sulaymaan hooyadiis ugu jawaabay, Abiishag tan reer Shuuneem maxaad Adoniiyaah ugu doonaysaa? Haddaba boqortooyadana u doon, waayo, isagu waa walaalkay iga weyn, u doon isaga, iyo wadaadka Aabyaataar, iyo Yoo'aab oo ay Seruuyaah dhashay.

King Solomon answered his mother, “Why are you asking me to give Abishag the Shunammite to Adonijah? Ask me to give him the nation also! For he is my older brother. And Abiathar the religious leader and Joab the son of Zeruiah are on his side!”

23 M arkaasaa Boqor Sulaymaan Rabbiga ku dhaartay, oo yidhi, Hadalkan uu Adoniiyaah ku hadlay hadduusan naftiisa ka gees noqon, Ilaah ha igu sameeyo saas iyo si ka sii badanba.

Then King Solomon swore by the Lord, saying, “May God do so to me and more, if Adonijah has not asked for this against his own life.

24 H addaba waxaan ku dhaartay nolosha Rabbigii xoogga ii yeelay, oo igu fadhiisiyey carshigii aabbahay Daa'uud, oo reerka iigu yeelay siduu iigu ballanqaaday, hubaal Adoniiyaah maanta waa la dilayaa.

The Lord has given me my place on the throne of my father David. He has made me a house as He promised. And as the Lord lives, for sure Adonijah will be put to death today.”

25 M arkaasaa Boqor Sulaymaan u diray Benaayaah ina Yehooyaadaac, oo isna wuu dilay, Adoniiyaahna waa dhintay.

So King Solomon sent Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and he went to Adonijah and killed him. Abiathar Sent Away and Joab Is Killed

26 O o boqorkiina wuxuu wadaadkii Aabyaataar ahaa ku yidhi, Waxaad tagtaa Canaatood iyo ilaa beerahaagii, waayo, waxaad istaahishaa in lagu dilo, laakiinse haatan ku dili maayo, waayo, aabbahay Daa'uud waad ku hor sidi jirtay sanduuqii Sayidka Rabbiga ah, oo waxaa lagugu dhibi jiray wax kasta oo aabbahay lagu dhibi jiray.

Then the king said to Abiathar the religious leader, “Go to your own fields at Anathoth, for you should be put to death. But I will not have you killed at this time. Because you carried the special box of the Lord God in front of my father David. And you shared in all of my father’s suffering.”

27 S idaasuu Sulaymaan Aabyaataar uga eryay wadaadnimadii Rabbiga inuu oofiyo Eraygii Rabbiga ee uu kaga hadlay reerka Ceelii xagga Shiiloh.

So Solomon stopped Abiathar from being religious leader for the Lord any longer. This was done to keep the word of the Lord, which God had spoken about the family of Eli in Shiloh.

28 M arkaasaa warkii u yimid Yoo'aab, waayo, Yoo'aab wuxuu raacay Adoniiyaah in kastoo uusan raacin Absaaloom. Kolkaasaa Yoo'aab u cararay Teendhadii Rabbiga, oo qabsaday geesihii meeshii allabariga.

Now the news came to Joab. For Joab had followed Adonijah, but he had not followed Absalom. And Joab ran to the tent of the Lord and took hold of the horns of the altar.

29 M arkaasaa taas loo soo sheegay Boqor Sulaymaan, oo lagu yidhi, Yoo'aab Teendhadii Rabbiga ayuu u cararay, oo wuxuu ag jooga meeshii allabariga. Dabadeedna Sulaymaan wuxuu diray Benaayaah ina Yehooyaadaac oo wuxuu ku yidhi, Tag oo soo dil.

King Solomon was told that Joab had run to the tent of the Lord, and was beside the altar. Then Solomon sent Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, saying, “Go and kill him.”

30 M arkaasaa Benaayaah Teendhadii Rabbiga soo galay oo ku yidhi, Boqorkii wuxuu leeyahay, Soo bax. Isna wuxuu yidhi, Maya, laakiinse halkanaan ku dhimanayaa. Oo Benaayaah haddana boqorkii buu u war keenay oo ku yidhi, Yoo'aab saasuu yidhi, oo saasuu iigu jawaabay.

Benaiah came to the tent of the Lord. He said to Joab, “The king says to come out.” But Joab said, “No! I will die here.” So Benaiah returned to the king and said, “This is what Joab said. This is how he answered me.”

31 M arkaasaa boqorkii wuxuu ku yidhi, Siduu kugu yidhi yeel, oo dil isaga, oo soo xabaal, inaad aniga iyo reerka aabbahayba naga dul qaaddid dhiiggii Yoo'aab sababla'aanta ku daadiyey.

The king said to him, “Do as he has said. Kill him and bury him. In this way you will take away from me and my father’s house the blood of those killed by Joab without a reason.

32 O o Rabbiguna dhiiggiisa wuxuu ku celin doonaa madaxiisa, maxaa yeelay, wuxuu dilay laba nin oo isaga ka xaq badan oo ka wanaagsan, seef buuna ku dilay, aabbahay Daa'uudna taas waxba kama ogayn, oo kuwaasuna waxay ahaayeen Abneer ina Neer oo sirkaal u ahaa ciidanka dalka Israa'iil, iyo Camaasaa ina Yeter oo sirkaal u ahaa ciidanka dalka Yahuudah.

The Lord will return Joab’s acts of killing upon his own head. Because Joab killed two men who were right and good and better than he. He killed them with the sword while my father David did not know it. He killed Abner the son of Ner, captain of the army of Israel, and Amasa the son of Jether, captain of the army of Judah.

33 S aas aawadeed dhiiggoodii wuxuu ku noqon doonaa madaxa Yoo'aab, iyo madaxa farcankiisa weligiis, laakiinse Daa'uud, iyo farcankiisa, iyo reerkiisa, iyo carshigiisaba nabad baa xagga Rabbiga uga ahaan doonta weligeed.

So their blood will be on the head of Joab and on the head of his children forever. But may there be peace from the Lord forever to David and his children, his house and his throne.”

34 M arkaasaa Benaayaah ina Yehooyaadaac tegey, oo intuu ku kor dhacay ayuu dilay, oo waxaa lagu aasay gurigiisii cidlada ku yiil.

Then Benaiah the son of Jehoiada went up and killed Joab. He was buried at his own house in the desert.

35 M arkaasaa boqorkii wuxuu meeshiisii ku beddelay oo ciidankii madax uga dhigay Benaayaah ina Yehooyaadaac. Oo meeshii Aabyaataarna wuxuu ku beddelay wadaadkii Saadooq ahaa.

The king put Benaiah the son of Jehoiada over the army in Joab’s place. And the king put Zadok the religious leader in the place of Abiathar. The Death of Shimei

36 M arkaasaa boqorkii u cid diray oo u yeedhay Shimcii, oo wuxuu ku yidhi, Yeruusaalem guri ka dhiso, oo halkaas iska deg, oo mar dambe meella ha uga bixin.

Then the king sent for Shimei and said to him, “Build a house for yourself in Jerusalem and live there. Do not leave there.

37 W aayo, maalintii aad baxdo oo aad durdurka Qidroon ka gudubto, bal ogow hubaal inaad dhimanayso; dhiiggaaguna madaxaaguu ku oolli doonaa.

For on the day you go out and cross the river Kidron, you will know for sure that you will die. Your blood will be on your own head.”

38 M arkaasaa Shimcii boqorkii ku yidhi, Hadalkaasu waa wanaagsan yahay, oo sidaad tidhi, boqorow, sayidkaygiiyow, waan yeeli doonaa, anigoo addoonkaaga ah. Oo Shimciina wakhti dheer ayuu Yeruusaalem degganaa.

Shimei said to the king, “What you say is good. Your servant will do as my lord the king has said.” So Shimei lived in Jerusalem many days.

39 O o saddex sannadood dabadood, laba addoon oo Shimcii kuwiis ah ayaa u cararay xagga Aakiish ina Macakaah oo ahaa boqorkii Gad.

But at the end of three years, two of Shimei’s servants ran away to Achish the son of Maacah, king of Gath. Shimei was told, “See, your servants are in Gath.”

40 M arkaasaa Shimcii kacay, oo dameerkiisii kooraystay, oo wuxuu u tegey Aakiish oo Gad jooga inuu addoommadiisii ka doonto; oo Shimcii wuu tegey oo addoommadiisii ka soo kaxaystay Gad.

Then Shimei got up and made his donkey ready to travel. And he went to Achish in Gath to look for his servants. Shimei went and brought his servants from Gath.

41 M arkaasaa Sulaymaan waxaa loo soo sheegay in Shimcii Yeruusaalem ka kacay, oo uu Gad tegey, oo uu haddana soo noqday.

Solomon was told that Shimei had gone from Jerusalem to Gath and had returned.

42 M arkaasaa boqorkii u cid diray oo Shimcii u yeedhay, oo wuxuu ku yidhi, War miyaanan Rabbiga kugu dhaarin, oo aanan hore kuugu sii sheegin, oo aanan kugu odhan, Ogow oo hubso, inaad xaqiiqa dhimanaysid maalintii aad baxdid oo aad meel kale u kacdid? Oo adna sow iguma aadan odhan, Hadalkaan maqlay waa wanaagsan yahay?

So the king sent for Shimei and said to him, “Did I not make you promise by the Lord and tell you of danger, saying, ‘You will know for sure that on the day you leave and go anywhere, you will die’? And you said to me, ‘What you have said is good.’

43 H addaba maxaad u dhawri weyday dhaartii Rabbiga iyo amarkii aan kugu amray?

Then why have you not kept the promise of the Lord? Why have you not done what I told you?”

44 W eliba boqorkii wuxuu Shimcii ku yidhi, Waad wada og tahay sharka qalbigaaga ku jira oo aad aabbahay Daa'uud ku samaysay. Sidaas daraaddeed Rabbigu sharkaagii wuxuu ku soo celin doonaa madaxaaga.

And the king said to Shimei, “You know in your heart all the bad things you did to my father David. So the Lord will return your sin upon your own head.

45 L aakiinse anoo Boqor Sulaymaan ahu waan barakaysnaan doonaa, oo carshiga Daa'uudna weligiis wuu ku sii dhisnaan doonaa Rabbiga hortiisa.

But good will come to King Solomon. The throne of David will keep its place before the Lord forever.”

46 S idaas daraaddeed ayaa boqorkii amray Benaayaah ina Yehooyaadaac; kolkaasuu isna tegey oo dilay Shimcii, wuuna dhintay. Oo boqortooyadiina waxay ku sii dhisnaatay gacantii Sulaymaan.

So the king told Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and he went out and killed Shimei. The nation was put under the rule of Solomon.
