¹Now the days of David drew near that he should die; and he commanded Solomon his son, saying,

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

²“I am going the way of all the earth. You be strong therefore, and show yourself a man;

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

³and keep the instruction of Yahweh your God, to walk in his ways, to keep his statutes, his commandments, his ordinances, and his testimonies, according to that which is written in the law of Moses, that you may prosper in all that you do, and wherever you turn yourself.

³oo 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;

⁴That Yahweh may establish his word which he spoke concerning me, saying, ‘If your children take heed to their way, to walk before me in truth with all their heart and with all their soul, there shall not fail you,’ he said, ‘a man on the throne of Israel.’

⁴inuu 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.

⁵“Moreover you know also what Joab the son of Zeruiah did to me, even what he did to the two captains of the armies of Israel, to Abner the son of Ner, and to Amasa the son of Jether, whom he killed, and shed the blood of war in peace, and put the blood of war on his sash that was about his waist, and in his shoes that were on his feet.

⁵Oo 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.

⁶Do therefore according to your wisdom, and don’t let his gray head go down to Sheol Sheol is the place of the dead. in peace.

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

⁷But show kindness to the sons of Barzillai the Gileadite, and let them be of those who eat at your table; for so they came to me when I fled from Absalom your brother.

⁷Laakiinse 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.

⁸“Behold, there is with you Shimei the son of Gera, the Benjamite, of Bahurim, who cursed me with a grievous curse in the day when I went to Mahanaim; but he came down to meet me at the Jordan, and I swore to him by Yahweh, saying, ‘I will not put you to death with the sword.’

⁸Oo 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.

⁹Now therefore don’t hold him guiltless, for you are a wise man; and you will know what you ought to do to him, and you shall bring his gray head down to Sheol Sheol is the place of the dead. with blood.”

⁹Sidaas 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.

¹⁰David slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David.

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

¹¹The days that David reigned over Israel were forty years; he reigned seven years in Hebron, and he reigned thirty-three years in Jerusalem.

¹¹Oo 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.

¹²Solomon sat on the throne of David his father; and his kingdom was firmly established.

¹²Oo Sulaymaanna wuxuu ku fadhiistay carshigii aabbihiis Daa'uud, oo boqortooyadiisiina way sii dhisnaatay.

¹³Then Adonijah the son of Haggith came to Bathsheba the mother of Solomon. She said, “Do you come peaceably?” He said, “Peaceably.

¹³Markaasaa 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.

¹⁴He said moreover, I have something to tell you.” She said, “Say on.”

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

¹⁵He said, “You know that the kingdom was mine, and that all Israel set their faces on me, that I should reign. However the kingdom is turned around, and has become my brother’s; for it was his from Yahweh.

¹⁵Markaasuu 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.

¹⁶Now I ask one petition of you. Don’t deny me.” She said to him, “Say on.”

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

¹⁷He said, “Please speak to Solomon the king (for he will not tell you ‘no’), that he give me Abishag the Shunammite as wife.”

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

¹⁸Bathsheba said, “Alright. I will speak for you to the king.”

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

¹⁹Bathsheba therefore went to king Solomon, to speak to him for Adonijah. The king rose up to meet her, and bowed himself to her, and sat down on his throne, and caused a throne to be set for the king’s mother; and she sat on his right hand.

¹⁹Sidaas 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.

²⁰Then she said, “I ask one small petition of you; don’t deny me.” The king said to her, “Ask on, my mother; for I will not deny you.”

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

²¹She said, “Let Abishag the Shunammite be given to Adonijah your brother as wife.”

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

²²King Solomon answered his mother, “Why do you ask Abishag the Shunammite for Adonijah? Ask for him the kingdom also; for he is my elder brother; even for him, and for Abiathar the priest, and for Joab the son of Zeruiah.”

²²Kolkaasaa 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.

²³Then king Solomon swore by Yahweh, saying, “God do so to me, and more also, if Adonijah has not spoken this word against his own life.

²³Markaasaa 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.

²⁴Now therefore as Yahweh lives, who has established me, and set me on the throne of David my father, and who has made me a house, as he promised, surely Adonijah shall be put to death this day.”

²⁴Haddaba 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.

²⁵King Solomon sent by Benaiah the son of Jehoiada; and he fell on him, so that he died.

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

²⁶To Abiathar the priest the king said, “Go to Anathoth, to your own fields; for you are worthy of death. But I will not at this time put you to death, because you bore the ark of the Lord The word translated “Lord” is “Adonai.” Yahweh before David my father, and because you were afflicted in all in which my father was afflicted.”

²⁶Oo 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.

²⁷So Solomon thrust out Abiathar from being priest to Yahweh, that he might fulfill the word of Yahweh, which he spoke concerning the house of Eli in Shiloh.

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

²⁸The news came to Joab; for Joab had turned after Adonijah, though he didn’t turn after Absalom. Joab fled to the Tent of Yahweh, and caught hold on the horns of the altar.

²⁸Markaasaa 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.

²⁹It was told king Solomon, “Joab has fled to the Tent of Yahweh, and behold, he is by the altar.” Then Solomon sent Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, saying, “Go, fall on him.”

²⁹Markaasaa 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.

³⁰Benaiah came to the Tent of Yahweh, and said to him, “Thus says the king, ‘Come forth!’” He said, “No; but I will die here.” Benaiah brought the king word again, saying, “Thus said Joab, and thus he answered me.”

³⁰Markaasaa 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.

³¹The king said to him, “Do as he has said, and fall on him, and bury him; that you may take away the blood, which Joab shed without cause, from me and from my father’s house.

³¹Markaasaa 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.

³²Yahweh will return his blood on his own head, because he fell on two men more righteous and better than he, and killed them with the sword, and my father David didn’t know it: Abner the son of Ner, captain of the army of Israel, and Amasa the son of Jether, captain of the army of Judah.

³²Oo 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.

³³So shall their blood return on the head of Joab, and on the head of his seed forever. But to David, and to his seed, and to his house, and to his throne, there shall be peace forever from Yahweh.”

³³Saas 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.

³⁴Then Benaiah the son of Jehoiada went up, and fell on him, and killed him; and he was buried in his own house in the wilderness.

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

³⁵The king put Benaiah the son of Jehoiada in his place over the army; and the king put Zadok the priest in the place of Abiathar.

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

³⁶The king sent and called for Shimei, and said to him, “Build yourself a house in Jerusalem, and dwell there, and don’t go out from there anywhere.

³⁶Markaasaa 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.

³⁷For on the day you go out, and pass over the brook Kidron, know for certain that you shall surely die: your blood shall be on your own head.”

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

³⁸Shimei said to the king, “The saying is good. As my lord the king has said, so will your servant do.” Shimei lived in Jerusalem many days.

³⁸Markaasaa 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.

³⁹It happened at the end of three years, that two of the servants of Shimei ran away to Achish, son of Maacah, king of Gath. They told Shimei, saying, “Behold, your servants are in Gath.”

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

⁴⁰Shimei arose, and saddled his donkey, and went to Gath to Achish, to seek his servants; and Shimei went, and brought his servants from Gath.

⁴⁰Markaasaa 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.

⁴¹It was told Solomon that Shimei had gone from Jerusalem to Gath, and had come again.

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

⁴²The king sent and called for Shimei, and said to him, “Didn’t I adjure you by Yahweh, and warn you, saying, ‘Know for certain, that on the day you go out, and walk abroad any where, you shall surely die?’ You said to me, ‘The saying that I have heard is good.’

⁴²Markaasaa 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?

⁴³Why then have you not kept the oath of Yahweh, and the commandment that I have instructed you with?”

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

⁴⁴The king said moreover to Shimei, “You know all the wickedness which your heart is privy to, that you did to David my father. Therefore Yahweh shall return your wickedness on your own head.

⁴⁴Weliba 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.

⁴⁵But king Solomon shall be blessed, and the throne of David shall be established before Yahweh forever.”

⁴⁵Laakiinse anoo Boqor Sulaymaan ahu waan barakaysnaan doonaa, oo carshiga Daa'uudna weligiis wuu ku sii dhisnaan doonaa Rabbiga hortiisa.Sidaas daraaddeed ayaa boqorkii amray Benaayaah ina Yehooyaadaac; kolkaasuu isna tegey oo dilay Shimcii, wuuna dhintay. Oo boqortooyadiina waxay ku sii dhisnaatay gacantii Sulaymaan.

⁴⁶So the king commanded Benaiah the son of Jehoiada; and he went out, and fell on him, so that he died. The kingdom was established in the hand of Solomon.

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