¹And it came to pass at the time of the return of the year, at the time when kings go forth, that Joab led forth the power of the army, and laid waste the land of the children of Ammon, and came and besieged Rabbah. But David abode at Jerusalem. And Joab smote Rabbah, and overthrew 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 forth the spoil of the city in great abundance.

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 the saw, and with harrows of iron, and with saws. And so David did to 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; then Sibbechai the Hushathite smote Sippai, one of the children of Rapha; 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 again a battle with the Philistines; and Elhanan the son of Jair smote Lahmi the brother of Goliath the Gittite; now the shaft of his spear 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 there was again a battle, at Gath; and there was a man [there] of great stature, whose fingers [and toes] were four and twenty, six [on each hand], and six [on each foot]; and he also was born to Rapha.

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.

⁷And he defied Israel; but Jonathan the son of Shimea David's brother smote 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 to Rapha 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.
