¹Oo Daa'uud markuu in yar dhaafay jiirta dusheedii waxaa u yimid Siibaa oo ahaa midiidinkii Mefiiboshed, isagoo wada laba dameer oo kooraysan, oo dushoodana waxaa u saarnaa laba boqol oo xabbadood oo kibis ah, iyo boqol rucubood oo sabiib ah, iyo boqol rucubood oo midho xagaa ah, iyo sibraar khamri ah.

¹And when David was a little past the summit, behold, Ziba, Mephibosheth's servant, met him, with a couple of asses saddled, and upon them two hundred [loaves] of bread, and a hundred raisin-cakes, and a hundred cakes of summer fruits, and a flask of wine.

²Markaasaa boqorkii wuxuu Siibaa ku yidhi, War waxyaalahan maxaad ula jeeddaa? Oo Siibaana wuxuu yidhi, Dameeraha waxaan u keenay in boqorka reerkiisu fuulaan; kibista iyo midhahana waxaan u keenay in ragga dhallinyarada ahu cunaan; khamrigana waxaan u keenay in ku alla kii cidlada ku itaal darnaadaa uu cabbo.

²And the king said to Ziba, What meanest thou by these? And Ziba said, The asses are for the king's household to ride on; and the bread and summer fruits for the young men to eat; and the wine, that such as are faint in the wilderness may drink.

³Markaasaa boqorkii ku yidhi, Meeh wiilkii sayidkaagu? Siibaana boqorkii buu ku yidhi, Yeruusaalem buu ku hadhay, oo wuxuu yidhi, Reer binu Israa'iil maantay ii soo celin doonaan boqortooyadii aabbahay.

³And the king said, And where is thy master's son? And Ziba said to the king, Behold, he abides at Jerusalem; for he said, To-day shall the house of Israel restore me the kingdom of my father.

⁴Markaasaa boqorkii wuxuu Siibaa ku yidhi, Bal eeg, Mefiiboshed wixiisa oo dhan adigaa iska leh. Oo Siibaana wuxuu yidhi, Boqorow, sayidkaygiiyow, waan ku sujuudayaa hortaada; aan raallinimo kaa helo.

⁴And the king said to Ziba, Behold, thine are all that pertained to Mephibosheth. And Ziba said, I humbly bow myself: may I find favour in thy sight, my lord, O king.

⁵Oo Boqor Daa'uudna markuu Baxuuriim yimid, waxaa ku soo baxay nin ay Saa'uul isku cid ahaayeen, oo magiciisa la odhan jiray Shimcii ina Geeraa. Wuu soo baxay, isagoo habaartamaya intuu soo socday.

⁵And when king David came to Bahurim, behold, there came out from thence a man of the family of the house of Saul, whose name was Shimei, the son of Gera: he came forth, and cursed,

⁶Oo dhagxan buuna ku tuuray Daa'uud iyo addoommadii Boqor Daa'uud oo dhanba, oo dadkii oo dhan iyo raggii xoogga lahaa oo dhammuna waxay joogeen midigtiisa iyo bidixdiisaba.

⁶and cast stones at David, and at all the servants of king David; and all the people and all the mighty men were on his right hand and on his left.

⁷Oo Shimcii markuu habaartamayay wuxuu lahaa, Naga tag, nin yahow dhiigga qabaa, oo naga tag, nin yahow waxmataraha ihi!

⁷And thus said Shimei as he cursed: Away, away, thou man of blood and man of Belial!

⁸Rabbigu waa ku kor saaray reer Saa'uul dhiiggoodii oo dhan, Saa'uulkaasoo aad meeshiisii xukumayso; oo Rabbigu boqortooyadii gacantuu u geliyey wiilkaaga Absaaloom; oo bal eeg, adiga belaayadaadii baa kula tagtaye, maxaa yeelay, waxaad tahay nin dhiig qaba.

⁸Jehovah has returned upon thee all the blood of the house of Saul, in whose stead thou hast reigned; and Jehovah has given the kingdom into the hand of Absalom thy son; and behold, thou art [taken] in thine own evil, for thou art a man of blood.

⁹Markaasaa Abiishay oo ay Seruuyaah dhashay wuxuu boqorkii ku yidhi, War eeygan dhintay muxuu kuu habaarayaa, boqorow, sayidkaygiiyow? Waan ku baryayaaye, i daa intaan u tago aan madaxa ka gooyee.

⁹And Abishai the son of Zeruiah said to the king, Why should this dead dog curse my lord the king? let me go over, I pray thee, and take off his head.

¹⁰Kolkaasaa boqorkii wuxuu yidhi, Kuwiinna ay Seruuyaah dhashayow, bal maxaa inoo dhexeeya? Hadduu habaartamay, oo Rabbigu ku yidhi, Daa'uud soo habaar, bal yaa ninkan ku odhan kara, War maxaad saas u yeeshay?

¹⁰And the king said, What have I to do with you, ye sons of Zeruiah? so let him curse, for Jehovah has said to him, Curse David! Who shall then say, Why dost thou so?

¹¹Daa'uudna wuxuu ku yidhi Abiishay, iyo addoommadiisii oo dhanba, Bal eega, wiilkaygii iga soo baxay ayaa doonaya inuu nafta iga qaado; haddaba intee in ka badan ayaa ninkan reer Benyaamiin igu samaynayaa? Haddaba ninkan iska daaya, ha iska habaartamee; waayo, Rabbigaa saas ku amray.

¹¹And David said to Abishai, and to all his servants, Behold, my son, who came forth of my bowels, seeks my life: how much more now a Benjaminite? let him alone and let him curse; for Jehovah has bidden him.

¹²Mindhaa Rabbigu intuu dhibaatadayda eego ayuu wanaag iigu beddeli doonaa habaarkuu maanta igu habaaray.

¹²It may be that Jehovah will look on mine affliction, and that Jehovah will requite me good for my being cursed this day.

¹³Sidaas daraaddeed Daa'uud iyo raggiisiiba jidkii bay mareen, Shimciina wuxuu maray buurtii agtiisa ahayd dhinaceeda, oo intuu sii socdayna Daa'uud buu habaarayay, oo dhagxan ku tuurayay, ciidna wuu ku soo saydhayay.

¹³And David and his men went by the way; and Shimei went along on the hill's side over against him, and cursed as he went, and threw stones at him, and cast dust.

¹⁴Oo boqorkii iyo dadkii isaga la jiray oo dhammu waxay yimaadeen iyagoo daalay; halkaasuuna ku nastay.

¹⁴And the king, and all the people that were with him, came weary, and refreshed themselves there.

¹⁵Markaasaa Absaaloom iyo dadkii reer binu Israa'iil oo dhammu Yeruusaalem yimaadeen, iyagoo uu Axiitofel la socdo.

¹⁵Now Absalom, and all the people, the men of Israel, came to Jerusalem, and Ahithophel with him.

¹⁶Oo kolkii Xuushay kii reer Arkii oo Daa'uud saaxiibkiis ahaa uu Absaaloom u yimid ayaa Xuushay Absaaloom ku yidhi, Boqorku ha noolaado, boqorku ha noolaado.

¹⁶And it came to pass, when Hushai the Archite, David's friend, came to Absalom, that Hushai said to Absalom, Long live the king! Long live the king!

¹⁷Markaasaa Absaaloom wuxuu Xuushay ku yidhi, Ma sidatanaad ugu roonaanaysaa saaxiibka? Maxaadse saaxiibkaa u raaci weyday?

¹⁷And Absalom said to Hushai, Is this thy kindness to thy friend? why didst thou not go with thy friend?

¹⁸Xuushayna wuxuu Absaaloom ku yidhi, Saas ma aha; laakiinse kii Rabbiga, iyo dadkan, iyo reer binu Israa'iil oo dhammu doorteen ayaa i lahaanaya, oo isagaan la joogayaa.

¹⁸And Hushai said to Absalom, No; but whom Jehovah, and this people, and all the men of Israel choose, his will I be, and with him will I abide.

¹⁹Oo haddana, bal yaan u adeegaa? Sow wiilkiisa ma aha? Sidaan aabbahaa ugu adeegi jiray oo kale ayaan haatanna adiga kuugu adeegayaa.

¹⁹And again, whom should I serve? should it not be in the presence of his son? as I have served in thy father's presence, so will I be in thy presence.

²⁰Markaasaa Absaaloom wuxuu Axiitofel ku yidhi, Bal ka tali waxaan samayn lahayn.

²⁰And Absalom said to Ahithophel, Give counsel among you what we shall do.

²¹Oo Axiitofelna wuxuu Absaaloom ku yidhi, Waxaad u tagtaa naagaha addoommaha ah ee aabbahaa, ee uu uga tegey inay guriga dhawraan; oo reer binu Israa'iil oo dhammuna waxay maqli doonaan in aabbahaa ku karahsaday; dabadeedna inta kula jirta oo dhan gacmahoodu way xoogaysan doonaan.

²¹And Ahithophel said to Absalom, Go in to thy father's concubines, whom he has left to keep the house; and all Israel shall hear that thou art become odious with thy father; and the hands of all that are with thee shall be strong.

²²Sidaas daraaddeed Absaaloom teendhay uga dhiseen guriga dushiisa, oo Absaaloomna wuxuu u tegey naagihii addoommaha ahaa ee aabbihiis, iyadoo ay reer binu Israa'iil oo dhammu u jeedeen.Oo waayahaasna taladii Axiitofel ku talin jiray waxay ahayd sidii Ilaah hadalkiisa markii Ilaah wax la weyddiisto oo kale; oo Axiitofel taladiisuna saasay la ahayd Daa'uud iyo Absaaloomba.

²²So they spread a tent for Absalom upon the roof; and Absalom went in to his father's concubines in the sight of all Israel.

²³Oo waayahaasna taladii Axiitofel ku talin jiray waxay ahayd sidii Ilaah hadalkiisa markii Ilaah wax la weyddiisto oo kale; oo Axiitofel taladiisuna saasay la ahayd Daa'uud iyo Absaaloomba.

²³And the counsel of Ahithophel, which he counselled in those days, was as if a man had inquired of the word of God: so was all the counsel of Ahithophel both with David and with Absalom.
