¹And it came to pass, that after the year was expired, at the time that kings go out to battle, Joab led forth the power of the army, and wasted the country of the children of Ammon, and came and besieged Rabbah. But David tarried at Jerusalem. And Joab smote Rabbah, and destroyed it.

¹ Waato kaŋ jiiro bare, alwaato kaŋ bonkooney doona ka fatta ka koy wongu, kaŋ Yowab na wongu marga candi i ma konda wurrandiyaŋ Amon izey laabo ra, kal i kaa ka Rabba kwaara windi nda wongu. Amma Dawda wo goro Urusalima. Yowab na Rabba kar ka zeeri.

²And David took the crown of their king from off his head, and found it to weigh a talent of gold, and there were precious stones in it; and it was set upon David's head: and he brought also exceeding much spoil out of the city.

² Dawda n'i bonkoono koytaray fuula kaa a boŋo gaa. I gar a tiŋa to danga kilo waytaaci cindi gu cine, wura no. A gonda taalam tondiyaŋ a gaa mo. I na fuula daŋ Dawda boŋo gaa. A fatta birno ra da wongu arzaka boobo mo, gumo-gumo.

³And he brought out the people that were in it, and cut them with saws, and with harrows of iron, and with axes. Even so dealt David with all the cities of the children of Ammon. And David and all the people returned to Jerusalem.

³ A na borey kaŋ yaŋ go kwaara ra fattandi k'i daŋ i ma goy da garzeyaŋ, da guuru-bi zaamayaŋ, da deesiyaŋ mo. Yaadin cine no Dawda te Amon izey kwaarey kulu se. Gaa no Dawda nda jama kulu ye Urusalima.

⁴And it came to pass after this, that there arose war at Gezer with the Philistines; at which time Sibbechai the Hushathite slew Sippai, that was of the children of the giant: and they were subdued.

⁴ A ciya, woodin banda, tangami fo te ngey nda Filistancey game ra Gezer kwaara haray. Waato din no Sibbekay Husat boro na Sippay, Refayim boro fo kar ka wi. I na Filistancey kaynandi mo.

⁵And there was war again with the Philistines; and Elhanan the son of Jair slew Lahmi the brother of Goliath the Gittite, whose spear staff was like a weaver's beam.

⁵ Tangami fo ye ka te ngey nda Filistancey game ra koyne. El-Hanan Yayir ize na Lakmi, Goliyat kayne, Gat boro, kar ka wi. Bora din yaaji bundo ga hima danga kaymi bundu.

⁶And yet again there was war at Gath, where was a man of great stature, whose fingers and toes were four and twenty, six on each hand, and six on each foot and he also was the son of the giant.

⁶ Tangami fo ye ka te koyne Gat haray. Noodin mo boro kuuku fo go no kaŋ gonda kambayze da ce-ize margante waranka cindi taaci, danga iddu kambe kulu nda ce kulu gaa nooya. Bora din mo Refayim dumi no.

⁷But when he defied Israel, Jonathan the son of Shimea David's brother slew him.

⁷ Waato kaŋ a na donda-caray sanni salaŋ Israyla se, kala Dawda beere Simeya izo Yonata n'a kar ka wi.

⁸These were born unto the giant in Gath; and they fell by the hand of David, and by the hand of his servants.

⁸ Woodin yaŋ kulu Gat kwaara Refayim dumiyaŋ no. I bu mo Dawda nda nga tamey kambe ra.
