¹And it cometh to pass, after the death of Saul, that David hath returned from smiting the Amalekite, and David dwelleth in Ziklag two days,

¹Dhimashadii Saa'uul dabadeed, markii Daa'uud ka soo noqday layntii reer Camaaleq oo uu Daa'uud laba maalmood Siiqlag sii joogay

²and it cometh to pass, on the third day, that lo, a man hath come in out of the camp from Saul, and his garments [are] rent, and earth on his head; and it cometh to pass, in his coming in unto David, that he falleth to the earth, and doth obeisance.

²ayaa xataa maalintii saddexaad nin ka yimid xeradii Saa'uul isagoo maryo jeexjeexan, madaxana ciidu kaga taal, oo markuu Daa'uud u yimid ayuu dhulka ku dhacay oo sujuuday.

³And David saith to him, `Whence comest thou?` and he saith unto him, `Out of the camp of Israel I have escaped.`

³Markaasaa Daa'uud ku yidhi, Xaggee baad ka timid? Markaasuu isna wuxuu yidhi, Waxaan ka soo baxsaday xeradii reer binu Israa'iil.

⁴And David saith unto him, `What hath been the matter? declare, I pray thee, to me.` And he saith, that `The people hath fled from the battle, and also a multitude hath fallen of the people, and they die; and also Saul and Jonathan his son have died.`

⁴Daa'uudna wuxuu ku yidhi, Waan ku baryayaaye, sidee baa wax u dhaceen? Bal ii sheeg. Oo isna wuxuu ugu jawaabay, Dadkii dagaalkii way ka carareen, oo dadkii badidiisiina way le'deen; oo Saa'uul iyo wiilkiisii Yoonaataanba waa dhinteen.

⁵And David saith unto the youth who is declaring [it] to him, `How hast thou known that Saul and Jonathan his son [are] dead?`

⁵Markaasaa Daa'uud wuxuu ku yidhi ninkii dhallinyarada ahaa, oo u soo warramay, War sidee baad u ogaatay in Saa'uul iyo wiilkiisii Yoonaataanba ay dhinteen?

⁶And the youth who is declaring [it] to him saith, I happened to meet in mount Gilboa, and lo, Saul is leaning on his spear; and lo, the chariots and those possessing horses have followed him;

⁶Markaasaa ninkii dhallinyarada ahaa oo u soo warramay, wuxuu ku yidhi, Markaan si lamafilaan ah Buur Gilboca u soo gaadhay, waxaan arkay Saa'uul oo ku tiirsan warankiisii, gaadhifardoodkii iyo fardooleydiina aad bay u eryanayeen.

⁷and he turneth behind him, and seeth me, and calleth unto me, and I say, Here [am] I.

⁷Oo markuu gadaashiisa dhugtay ayuu i arkay, oo ii yeedhay. Oo anna waxaan ugu jawaabay, Waa i kan.

⁸And he saith to me, Who [art] thou? and I say unto him, An Amalekite I [am].`

⁸Markaasuu igu yidhi, Yaad tahay? Oo anna waxaan ugu jawaabay, Nin reer Camaaleq ah baan ahay.

⁹`And he saith unto me, Stand, I pray thee, over me, and put me to death, for seized me hath the arrow, for all my soul [is] still in me.

⁹Oo isna wuxuu igu yidhi, Waan ku baryayaaye, bal i soo ag joogso, oo i dil, waayo, wareer baa i haya; waayo, weli naftii waa igu jirtaa.

¹⁰And I stand over him, and put him to death, for I knew that he doth not live after his falling, and I take the crown which [is] on his head, and the bracelet which [is] on his arm, and bring them in unto my lord hither.`

¹⁰Saas aawadeed waan ag joogsaday oo waan dilay, maxaa yeelay, waan hubay markuu dhacay dabadeed inuusan noolaanayn; oo markaasaan ka soo qaaday taajkii madaxa u saarnaa, iyo dugaagaddii gacanta ugu jirtay, waanan kuu keenay, sayidkaygiiyow.

¹¹And David taketh hold on his garments, and rendeth them, and also all the men who [are] with him,

¹¹Markaasaa Daa'uud dharkiisii jeexjeexay; oo raggii isaga la jiray oo dhammuna saasoo kalay wada yeeleen,

¹²and they mourn, and weep, and fast till the evening, for Saul, and for Jonathan his son, and for the people of Jehovah, and for the house of Israel, because they have fallen by the sword.

¹²wayna u baroorteen, oo u ooyeen, oo u soomeen ilaa fiidkii Saa'uul, iyo wiilkiisii Yoonaataan, iyo dadkii Rabbiga, iyo reer binu Israa'iil aawadood; maxaa yeelay, seef bay ku le'deen.

¹³And David saith unto the youth who is declaring [it] to him, `Whence [art] thou?` and he saith, `Son of a sojourner, an Amalekite, I [am].`

¹³Kolkaasaa Daa'uud ku yidhi ninkii dhallinyarada ahaa oo u soo warramay, Xaggee baad ka timid? Isna wuxuu ugu jawaabay, Waxaan ahay nin qalaad wiilkiis oo reer Camaaleq ah.

¹⁴And David saith unto him, `How wast thou not afraid to put forth thy hand to destroy the anointed of Jehovah?`

¹⁴Daa'uudna wuxuu ku yidhi isagii, Sidee baad uga cabsan weyday inaad gacantaada u qaaddo Rabbiga kiisa subkan?

¹⁵And David calleth to one of the youths, and saith, `Draw nigh — fall upon him;` and he smiteth him, and he dieth;

¹⁵Dabadeedna Daa'uud wuxuu u yeedhay raggii dhallinyarada ahaa midkood, oo ku yidhi, U dhowow oo dil. Markaasuu dilay, isna wuu dhintay.

¹⁶and David saith unto him, `Thy blood [is] on thine own head, for thy mouth hath testified against thee, saying, I — I put to death the anointed of Jehovah.`

¹⁶Daa'uudna wuxuu ku yidhi, Dhiiggaagu madaxaaga ha saarnaado; waayo, afkaagaa kugu marag furay, oo waxaad tidhi, Rabbiga kiisa subkan ayaan dilay.

¹⁷And David lamenteth with this lamentation over Saul, and over Jonathan his son;

¹⁷Markaasaa Daa'uud baroortan ugu baroortay Saa'uul iyo wiilkiisii Yoonaataan,

¹⁸and he saith to teach the sons of Judah `The Bow;` lo, it is written on the book of the Upright: —

¹⁸oo wuxuu ku amray inay carruurta dalka Yahuudah baraan gabayga qaansada; oo bal eeg, kaasu wuxuu ku qoran yahay kitaabka Yaashaar.

¹⁹`The Roebuck, O Israel, On thy high places [is] wounded; How have the mighty fallen!

¹⁹Reer binu Israa'iilow, Ammaantiinnii waxaa lagu dilay meelihiinna sarsare! Bal eega kuwa xoogga leh siday u dhaceen!

²⁰Declare [it] not in Gath, Proclaim not the tidings in the streets of Ashkelon, Lest they rejoice — The daughters of the Philistines, Lest they exult — The daughters of the Uncircumcised!

²⁰Haddaba taas Gad ha ku sheegina, Oo jidadka Ashqeloonna ha ku caddaynina; Waaba intaasoo ay naagaha reer Falastiin ku farxaane, Waaba intaasoo ay buuryoqabyada naagahoodu ku guulaystaane.

²¹Mountains of Gilboa! No dew nor rain be on you, And fields of heave-offerings! For there hath become loathsome The shield of the mighty, The shield of Saul — without the anointed with oil.

²¹Buuraha Gilbocow, Dharab iyo roob midna yaan laydinku arkin, beerihii qurbaanyadu ka bixi jireenna yaanay jirin, Waayo, kuwii xoogga lahaa gaashaankoodii ayaa halkaas lagu tuuray, Xataa gaashaankii Saa'uul oo ahaa sida mid aan saliid lagu subkin.

²²From the blood of the wounded, From the fat of the mighty, The bow of Jonathan Hath not turned backward; And the sword of Saul doth not return empty.

²²Kuwii la laayay dhiiggoodii, iyo kuwii xoogga lahaa xaydhoodii, Yoonaataan qaansadiisii dib ugama ay soo noqon, Oo Saa'uul seeftiisiina madhnaan kuma ay soo noqon.

²³Saul and Jonathan! They are loved and pleasant in their lives, And in their death they have not been parted. Than eagles they have been lighter, Than lions they have been mightier!

²³Intay noolaayeen Saa'uul iyo Yoonaataan waxay ahaayeen kuwo la jecel yahay, oo macaan, Markay dhinteenna, lama kala geeyn, Gorgorrada way ka dheereeyeen, Libaaxyadana way ka xoog badnaayeen.

²⁴Daughters of Israel! for Saul weep ye, Who is clothing you [in] scarlet with delights. Who is lifting up ornaments of gold on your clothing.

²⁴Gabdhaha reer binu Israa'iilow, Saa'uul u ooya, Kii dhar cas si raaxa leh idiin huwiyey, Oo dharkiinnana dahab ku sharraxay.

²⁵How have the mighty fallen In the midst of the battle! Jonathan! on thy high places wounded!

²⁵Kuwii xoogga badnaa siday dagaalka ugu dhex dhaceen! Yoonaataan waxaa lagu dilay meelihiinna sarsare.

²⁶I am in distress for thee, my brother Jonathan, Very pleasant wast thou to me; Wonderful was thy love to me, Above the love of women!

²⁶Anigu daraaddaa baan u dhibtooday, walaalkay Yoonaataanow; Adigu aad baad iigu macaanayd, Oo jacaylkaad ii qabtay wuxuu ahaa mid yaab leh, Oo xataa caashaqa naagaha dhaafaya.Bal eeg kuwii xoogga badnaa siday u dhaceen, Hubkii dagaalkuna siduu u hallaabay!

²⁷How have the mighty fallen, Yea, the weapons of war perish!`

²⁷Bal eeg kuwii xoogga badnaa siday u dhaceen, Hubkii dagaalkuna siduu u hallaabay!
