¹Now it came to pass after this, that Nahash the king of the children of Ammon died, and his son reigned in his stead.

¹Taas dabadeedna Naaxaash oo boqor u ahaa reer Cammoon ayaa dhintay, meeshiisiina waxaa boqor ka noqday wiilkiisii.

²And David said, I will show kindness unto Hanun the son of Nahash, because his father showed kindness to me. And David sent messengers to comfort him concerning his father. So the servants of David came into the land of the children of Ammon to Hanun, to comfort him.

²Markaasaa Daa'uud yidhi, Anigu waxaan u roonaan doonaa Xaanuun ina Naaxaash, maxaa yeelay, aabbihiis baa ii roonaaday. Sidaas daraaddeed Daa'uud wuxuu u diray wargeeyayaal inay u tacsiyeeyaan aabbihiis. Markaasaa Daa'uud addoommadiisii waxay dalkii reer Cammoon ugu yimaadeen Xaanuun inay isaga u tacsiyeeyaan.

³But the princes of the children of Ammon said to Hanun, Thinkest thou that David doth honor thy father, that he hath sent comforters unto thee? are not his servants come unto thee for to search, and to overthrow, and to spy out the land?

³Laakiinse amiirradii reer Cammoon waxay Xaanuun ku yidhaahdeen, Ma waxaad u malaynaysaa in Daa'uud aabbahaa cisaynayo oo uu sidaas daraaddeed kuugu soo diray kuwa tacsiyada wada? Addoommadiisu sow kuuguma iman inay dalka baadhaan oo basaasaan oo afgembiyaan?

⁴Wherefore Hanun took David's servants, and shaved them, and cut off their garments in the midst hard by their buttocks, and sent them away.

⁴Sidaas daraaddeed Xaanuun wuxuu qabsaday Daa'uud addoommadiisii, oo intuu iyagii u xiiray ayuu dharkoodiina dhexda ka kala gooyay xataa ilaa dabada, markaasuu iska eryay.

⁵Then there went certain, and told David how the men were served. And he sent to meet them: for the men were greatly ashamed. And the king said, Tarry at Jericho until your beards be grown, and then return.

⁵Markaasaa la tegey oo Daa'uud loo soo sheegay sidii nimankii loo galay. Oo isna wuxuu iyagii u diray dad ka hor taga, waayo, nimankii aad bay u ceeboobeen. Boqorkiina wuxuu iyagii ku yidhi, Yerixoo iska jooga ilaa gadhku idiin soo baxo, dabadeedna soo noqda.

⁶And when the children of Ammon saw that they had made themselves odious to David, Hanun and the children of Ammon sent a thousand talents of silver to hire them chariots and horsemen out of Mesopotamia, and out of Syriamaachah, and out of Zobah.

⁶Oo reer Cammoonna markay ogaadeen inay Daa'uud isnacsiiyeen ayaa Xaanuun iyo reer Cammoon sii dhiibeen kun talanti oo lacag ah inay gaadhifardood iyo rag fardooley ah kaga soo kiraystaan Mesobotamiya, iyo Aram Macakaah, iyo Soobaah.

⁷So they hired thirty and two thousand chariots, and the king of Maachah and his people; who came and pitched before Medeba. And the children of Ammon gathered themselves together from their cities, and came to battle.

⁷Sidaasay u soo kiraysteen laba iyo soddon kun oo gaadhifaras, iyo boqorkii Macakaah iyo dadkiisii, kuwaasoo yimid oo Meedebaa horteeda degay. Oo reer Cammoonna waxay iska soo wada urursadeen magaalooyinkoodii, oo dagaal bay u soo baxeen.

⁸And when David heard of it, he sent Joab, and all the host of the mighty men.

⁸Oo Daa'uudna markuu taas maqlay ayuu diray Yoo'aab iyo ciidankii raggii xoogga lahaa oo dhan.

⁹And the children of Ammon came out, and put the battle in array before the gate of the city: and the kings that were come were by themselves in the field.

⁹Oo reer Cammoonna way soo baxeen, oo waxay dagaal isugu soo diyaariyeen magaalada iriddeeda, oo boqorradii yimidna duurkay keli ahaantood joogeen.

¹⁰Now when Joab saw that the battle was set against him before and behind, he chose out of all the choice of Israel, and put them in array against the Syrians.

¹⁰Haddaba Yoo'aab markuu arkay in dagaal looga soo kacshay hore iyo dibba, ayuu raggii reer binu Israa'iil ka xushay kuwii xuladka ahaa oo dhan, oo wuxuu u soo diyaariyey inay reer Suuriya la dagaallamaan.

¹¹And the rest of the people he delivered unto the hand of Abishai his brother, and they set themselves in array against the children of Ammon.

¹¹Oo dadkii intiisii kalena wuxuu u dhiibay walaalkiis Abiishay, oo iyana waxay isu soo diyaariyeen inay reer Cammoon la dagaallamaan.

¹²And he said, If the Syrians be too strong for me, then thou shalt help me: but if the children of Ammon be too strong for thee, then I will help thee.

¹²Oo wuxuu walaalkiis ku yidhi, Haddii reer Suuriya iga xoog bataan waa inaad i soo caawisaa, laakiinse haddii reer Cammoon kaa xoog bataan, markaasaan ku soo caawin doonaa.

¹³Be of good courage, and let us behave ourselves valiantly for our people, and for the cities of our God: and let the LORD do that which is good in his sight.

¹³Haddaba si fiican u dhiirranow, oo aynu rag u ahaanno dadkeenna iyo magaalooyinka Ilaaheen aawadood, oo Rabbiguna ha sameeyo wixii la wanaagsan.

¹⁴So Joab and the people that were with him drew nigh before the Syrians unto the battle; and they fled before him.

¹⁴Sidaas daraaddeed Yoo'aab iyo dadkii la jirayba waxay ugu soo dhowaadeen inay la dagaallamaan reer Suuriya, oo iyana markaasay hortiisa ka carareen.

¹⁵And when the children of Ammon saw that the Syrians were fled, they likewise fled before Abishai his brother, and entered into the city. Then Joab came to Jerusalem.

¹⁵Oo reer Cammoonna markay arkeen in reer Suuriya carareen ayay iyana walaalkiis Abiishay hortiisa saasoo kale uga carareen, oo waxay galeen magaaladii. Markaasaa Yoo'aab Yeruusaalem yimid.

¹⁶And when the Syrians saw that they were put to the worse before Israel, they sent messengers, and drew forth the Syrians that were beyond the river: and Shophach the captain of the host of Hadarezer went before them.

¹⁶Oo reer Suuriya markay arkeen in iyaga looga adkaaday reer binu Israa'iil hortooda ayay wargeeyayaal u direen oo soo kaxeeyeen reer Suuriyihii Webiga ka shisheeyey, iyagoo uu madax u yahay Shoofag oo ahaa sirkaalkii ciidanka Hadarceser.

¹⁷And it was told David; and he gathered all Israel, and passed over Jordan, and came upon them, and set the battle in array against them. So when David had put the battle in array against the Syrians, they fought with him.

¹⁷Taas waxaa loo soo sheegay Daa'uud, kolkaasuu reer binu Israa'iil oo dhan soo wada ururiyey, oo intuu Webi Urdun ka soo gudbay ayuu reer Suuriya u yimid, oo ciidankiisii ayuu weerar ugu soo diyaariyey, haddaba Daa'uud markuu raggiisii u diyaariyey inay reer Suuriya la dagaallamaan ayay iyana la dirireen.

¹⁸But the Syrians fled before Israel; and David slew of the Syrians seven thousand men which fought in chariots, and forty thousand footmen, and killed Shophach the captain of the host.

¹⁸Oo reer Suuriyana way ka carareen reer binu Israa'iil hortooda. Daa'uudna wuxuu reer Suuriya ka laayay toddoba kun oo gaadhifaras raggoodii, iyo afartan kun oo nin oo lug ah, oo wuxuu dilay Shoofag oo ahaa sirkaalkii ciidanka.Oo markii Hadarceser addoommadiisii arkeen in reer binu Israa'iil hortooda looga adkaaday ayay la nabdeen Daa'uud, wayna u adeegeen, oo reer Suuriyana way diideen inay mar dambe reer Cammoon caawiyaan.

¹⁹And when the servants of Hadarezer saw that they were put to the worse before Israel, they made peace with David, and became his servants: neither would the Syrians help the children of Ammon any more.

¹⁹Oo markii Hadarceser addoommadiisii arkeen in reer binu Israa'iil hortooda looga adkaaday ayay la nabdeen Daa'uud, wayna u adeegeen, oo reer Suuriyana way diideen inay mar dambe reer Cammoon caawiyaan.
