¹It happened after this, that Absalom prepared him a chariot and horses, and fifty men to run before him.

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

²Absalom rose up early, and stood beside the way of the gate. It was so, that when any man had a suit which should come to the king for judgment, then Absalom called to him, and said, “What city are you from?” He said, “Your servant is of one of the tribes of Israel.”

²Markaasaa Absaaloom aroortii kacay, oo ag istaagay jidkii iridda, oo markuu nin dacwo lihi 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.

³Absalom said to him, “Behold, your matters are good and right; but there is no man deputized by the king to hear you.”

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

⁴Absalom said moreover, “Oh that I were made judge in the land, that every man who has any suit or cause might come to me, and I would do him justice!”

⁴Oo 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!

⁵It was so, that when any man came near to do him obeisance, he put forth his hand, and took hold of him, and kissed him.

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

⁶Absalom did this sort of thing to all Israel who came to the king for judgment. So Absalom stole the hearts of the men of Israel.

⁶Oo 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.

⁷It happened 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 Yahweh, in Hebron.

⁷Oo 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.

⁸For your servant vowed a vow while I stayed at Geshur in Syria, saying, ‘If Yahweh shall indeed bring me again to Jerusalem, then I will serve Yahweh.’”

⁸Waayo, 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.

⁹The king said to him, “Go in peace.” So he arose, and went to Hebron.

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

¹⁰But 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!’”

¹⁰Laakiinse 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.

¹¹Two hundred men went with Absalom out of Jerusalem, who were invited, and went in their simplicity; and they didn’t know anything.

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

¹²Absalom sent for Ahithophel the Gilonite, David’s counselor, from his city, even from Giloh, while he was offering the sacrifices. The conspiracy was strong; for the people increased continually with Absalom.

¹²Oo 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.

¹³A messenger came to David, saying, “The hearts of the men of Israel are after Absalom.”

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

¹⁴David said to all his servants who were with him at Jerusalem, “Arise, and let us flee; for else none of us shall escape from Absalom. Make speed to depart, lest he overtake us quickly, and bring down evil on us, and strike the city with the edge of the sword.”

¹⁴Daa'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!

¹⁵The king’s servants said to the king, “Behold, your servants are ready to do whatever my lord the king chooses.”

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

¹⁶The king went forth, and all his household after him. The king left ten women, who were concubines, to keep the house.

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

¹⁷The king went forth, and all the people after him; and they stayed in Beth Merhak.

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

¹⁸All his servants passed on beside him; and all the Cherethites, and all the Pelethites, and all the Gittites, six hundred men who came after him from Gath, passed on before the king.

¹⁸Oo 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.

¹⁹Then the king said to Ittai the Gittite, “Why do you also go with us? Return, and stay with the king; for you are a foreigner, and also an exile. Return to your own place.

¹⁹Markaasaa 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.

²⁰Whereas you came but yesterday, should I this day make you go up and down with us, since I go where I may? Return, and take back your brothers. Mercy and truth be with you.”

²⁰Waxaad 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.

²¹Ittai answered the king, and said, “As Yahweh lives, and as my lord the king lives, surely in what place my lord the king shall is, whether for death or for life, even there also will your servant be.”

²¹Markaasaa 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.

²²David said to Ittai, “Go and pass over.” Ittai the Gittite passed over, and all his men, and all the little ones who were with him.

²²Kolkaasaa 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.

²³All the country wept with a loud voice, and all the people passed over: the king also himself passed over the brook Kidron, and all the people passed over, toward the way of the wilderness.

²³Oo 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.

²⁴Behold, Zadok also came, 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 finished passing out of the city.

²⁴Oo 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.

²⁵The king said to Zadok, “Carry back the ark of God into the city. If I find favor in the eyes of Yahweh, he will bring me again, and show me both it, and his habitation;

²⁵Markaasaa 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.

²⁶but if he say thus, ‘I have no delight in you;’ behold, here am I. Let him do to me as seems good to him.”

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

²⁷The king said also to Zadok the priest, “Aren’t you a seer? Return into the city in peace, and your two sons with you, Ahimaaz your son, and Jonathan the son of Abiathar.

²⁷Oo 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.

²⁸Behold, I will stay at the fords of the wilderness, until word comes from you to inform me.”

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

²⁹Zadok therefore and Abiathar carried the ark of God again to Jerusalem; and they stayed there.

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

³⁰David 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 every man his head, and they went up, weeping as they went up.

³⁰Oo 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.

³¹Someone told David, saying, “Ahithophel is among the conspirators with Absalom.” David said, “Yahweh, please turn the counsel of Ahithophel into foolishness.”

³¹Oo 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.

³²It happened that when David had come to the top, where God was worshiped, behold, Hushai the Archite came to meet him with his coat torn, and earth on his head.

³²Oo 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.

³³David said to him, “If you pass on with me, then you will be a burden to me;

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

³⁴but if you return to the city, and tell Absalom, ‘I will be your servant, O king. As I have been your father’s servant in time past, so will I now be your servant; then will you defeat for me the counsel of Ahithophel.’

³⁴laakiinse 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.

³⁵Don’t you have Zadok and Abiathar the priests there with you? Therefore it shall be, that whatever thing you shall hear out of the king’s house, you shall tell it to Zadok and Abiathar the priests.

³⁵Oo 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.

³⁶Behold, they have there with them their two sons, Ahimaaz, Zadok’s son, and Jonathan, Abiathar’s son; and by them you shall send to me everything that you shall hear.”

³⁶Oo 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.Sidaas daraaddeed Xuushay oo ahaa Daa'uud saaxiibkiis magaaladii buu soo galay; oo Absaaloomna Yeruusaalem buu soo galay.

³⁷So Hushai, David’s friend, came into the city; and Absalom came into Jerusalem.

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