¹Saa'uul markuu reer binu Israa'iil boqorka u noqday wuxuu jiray soddon sannadood, oo wuxuu reer binu Israa'iil xukumayay laba sannadood.

¹A son of a year [is] Saul in his reigning, yea, two years he hath reigned over Israel,

²Markaasaa Saa'uul wuxuu reer binu Israa'iil ka dhex doortay saddex kun oo nin; oo laba kun waxay Saa'uul la joogeen Mikmaash iyo buurtii Beytel, oo kunna wuxuu Yoonaataan la joogay Gibecaahdii reer Benyaamiin; oo dadka intiisii kalena nin walba wuxuu u diray inuu teendhadiisii tago.

²and Saul chooseth for himself three thousand [men] out of Israel; and two thousand are with Saul in Michmash, and in the hill-country of Beth-El; and a thousand have been with Jonathan in Gibeah of Benjamin; and the remnant of the people he hath sent each to his tents.

³Oo Yoonaataan wuxuu ku dhuftay xeradii ciidankii reer Falastiin oo Gebac joogay, oo reer Falastiinna taas way maqleen. Oo Saa'uulna dalkii oo dhan buu buun ugu dhuftay oo yidhi, Cibraaniyadu ha maqleen.

³And Jonathan smiteth the garrison of the Philistines which [is] in Geba, and the Philistines hear, and Saul hath blown with a trumpet through all the land, saying, `Let the Hebrews hear.`

⁴Oo reer binu Israa'iil oo dhammu waxay maqleen in Saa'uul wax ku dhuftay xeradii ciidanka reer Falastiin, iyo weliba in reer Falastiin ay karheen reer binu Israa'iil. Oo dadkiina dhammaantood waxay Saa'uul ugu soo urureen Gilgaal.

⁴And all Israel have heard, saying, `Saul hath smitten the garrison of the Philistines,` and also, `Israel hath been abhorred by the Philistines;` and the people are called after Saul to Gilgal.

⁵Oo reer Falastiinna waxay isu soo urursadeen inay reer binu Israa'iil la diriraan, oo waxayna ahaayeen soddon kun oo gaadhifardood, iyo lix kun oo fardooley ah, iyo dad ah sida cammuudda taal badda xeebteeda. Oo intay soo dhowaadeen ayay degeen Mikmaash, oo bari ka xigta Beytaawen.

⁵And the Philistines have been gathered to fight with Israel; thirty thousand chariots, and six thousand horsemen, and a people as the sand which [is] on the sea-shore for multitude; and they come up and encamp in Michmash, east of Beth-Aven.

⁶Oo dadkii reer binu Israa'iilna markay arkeen inay cidhiidhi ku jiraan, (waayo, dadku way dhibaataysnaayeen) markaasaa dadkii waxay ku dhuunteen godad, iyo kayn, iyo dhagaxyo dhexdooda, iyo boholo, iyo hogag.

⁶And the men of Israel have seen that they are distressed, that the people hath been oppressed, and the people hide themselves in caves, and in thickets, and in rocks, and in high places, and in pits.

⁷Oo haddaba Cibraaniyadii qaarkood waxay ka gudbeen Webi Urdun oo tageen ilaa dalkii reer Gaad iyo Gilecaad; laakiinse Saa'uul weli wuxuu iska joogay Gilgaal, oo dadkii oo dhammuna isagay daba galeen iyagoo gariiraya.

⁷And Hebrews have passed over the Jordan to the land of Gad and Gilead; and Saul [is] yet in Gilgal, and all the people have trembled after him.

⁸Oo toddoba maalmood buu sugayay, sidii wakhtigii Samuu'eel u qabtay uu ahaa, laakiinse Samuu'eel ma iman Gilgaal, oo dadkiina way ka kala firdheen Saa'uul.

⁸And he waiteth seven days, according to the appointment with Samuel, and Samuel hath not come to Gilgal, and the people are scattered from off him.

⁹Markaasaa Saa'uul wuxuu yidhi, Halkan iigu keena qurbaanka la gubo, iyo qurbaannada nabaadiinadaba. Markaasuu bixiyey qurbaankii la gubayay.

⁹And Saul saith, `Bring nigh unto me the burnt-offering, and the peace-offerings;` and he causeth the burnt-offering to ascend.

¹⁰Oo markuu dhammeeyey bixintii uu bixinayay allabariga la gubo, waxaa yimid Samuu'eel; markaasaa Saa'uul u baxay inuu ka hor tago oo soo salaamo.

¹⁰And it cometh to pass at his completing to cause the burnt-offering to ascend, that lo, Samuel hath come, and Saul goeth out to meet him, to bless him;

¹¹Markaasaa Samuu'eel wuxuu ku yidhi, War maxaad samaysay? Oo Saa'uulna wuxuu yidhi, Maxaa yeelay, waxaan arkay in dadkii iga kala firdhay, iyo inaad adiguna ku iman weyday maalmihii aan ku ballannay, iyo in reer Falastiinna dhammaantood isku soo urursadeen Mikmaash agteeda;

¹¹and Samuel saith, `What hast thou done?` And Saul saith, `Because I saw that the people were scattered from off me, and thou hadst not come at the appointment of the days, and the Philistines are gathered to Michmash,

¹²sidaas daraaddeed waxaan is-idhi, Haatan reer Falastiin waxay igu soo weerari doonaan Gilgaal, anigoo aan Rabbiga raallinimo ka baryin. Taas aawadeed ayaan isugu qasbay oo waan bixiyey allabariga la gubo.

¹²and I say, Now do the Philistines come down unto me to Gilgal, and the face of Jehovah I have not appeased; and I force myself, and cause the burnt-offering to ascend.`

¹³Markaasaa Samuu'eel wuxuu Saa'uul ku yidhi, Nacasnimo baad samaysay oo amarkii Rabbiga Ilaahaaga ahu kugu amray ma aad xajin. Haatan Rabbigu boqortooyadaaduu ku adkayn lahaa reer binu Israa'iil weligeedba.

¹³And Samuel saith unto Saul, `Thou hast been foolish; thou hast not kept the command of Jehovah thy God, which He commanded thee, for now had Jehovah established thy kingdom over Israel unto the age;

¹⁴Laakiinse imminka boqortooyadaadu sii jiri mayso. Rabbigu wuxuu doontay nin ah siduu qalbigiisu doonayo, oo Rabbiguna isaguu u doortay inuu ahaado amiir dadkiisa u taliya, maxaa yeelay, adigu ma aadan xajin wixii Rabbigu kugu amray.

¹⁴and, now, thy kingdom doth not stand, Jehovah hath sought for Himself a man according to His own heart, and Jehovah chargeth him for leader over His people, for thou hast not kept that which Jehovah commanded thee.`

¹⁵Markaasaa Samuu'eel kacay, wuuna ka baxay Gilgaal, oo xagga Gibecaahda reer Benyaamiin buu tegey. Oo Saa'uulna markaasuu tiriyey dadkii isaga la jiray, oo waxay noqdeen in ku dhow lix boqol oo nin.

¹⁵And Samuel riseth, and goeth up from Gilgal to Gibeah of Benjamin; and Saul inspecteth the people who are found with him, about six hundred men,

¹⁶Kolkaasaa Saa'uul iyo wiilkiisii Yoonaataan, iyo dadkii iyaga la jirayba waxay iska joogeen Gebacdii reer Benyaamiin, laakiinse reer Falastiin waxay degganaayeen Mikmaash.

¹⁶and Saul, and Jonathan his son, and the people who are found with them, are abiding in Gibeah of Benjamin, and the Philistines have encamped in Michmash.

¹⁷Markaasaa xeradii reer Falastiin waxaa ka soo baxay kuwo wax dhaca oo saddex guuto ah, oo guuto waxay u leexatay xagga waddada Cofraah iyo xagga dalka reer Shuucaal;

¹⁷And the destroyer goeth out from the camp of the Philistines — three detachments; the one detachment turneth unto the way of Ophrah, unto the land of Shual;

¹⁸oo guuto kalena waxay u leexatay xagga waddada Beytxooroon, oo guutadii hadhayna waxay u leexatay xagga waddada soohdinta kor ka soo dhawrta dooxada Seboyim iyo xagga cidlada.

¹⁸and the one detachment turneth the way of Beth-Horon, and the one detachment turneth the way of the border which is looking on the valley of the Zeboim, toward the wilderness.

¹⁹Haddaba tumaal laguma arag dalka reer binu Israa'iil oo dhan; waayo, reer Falastiin waxay isyidhaahdeen, Cibraaniyadu yaanay samaysan seefo iyo warmo.

¹⁹And an artificer is not found in all the land of Israel, for the Philistines said, `Lest the Hebrews make sword or spear;`

²⁰Laakiinse reer binu Israa'iil oo dhammu waxay xagga reer Falastiin u tageen in nin waluba soo afaysto marashidiisii, iyo manjadiisii, iyo faaskiisii, iyo sabaraddiisii;

²⁰and all Israel go down to the Philistines, to sharpen each his ploughshare, and his coulter, and his axe, and his mattock;

²¹oo weliba waxay lahaayeen wax lagu soofeeyo sabaradaha, iyo manjooyinka, iyo faraleyada, iyo faasaska, iyo inay hagaajiyaan takiyadaba.

²¹and there hath been the file for mattocks, and for coulters, and for three-pronged rakes, and for the axes, and to set up the goads.

²²Sidaas daraaddeed maalintii dagaalka dadkii la jiray Saa'uul iyo wiilkiisii Yoonaataanba midkoodna gacantiisa lagama helin seef iyo waran toona, Saa'uul iyo wiilkiisii Yoonaataan mooyaane.Oo ciidankii reer Falastiinna waxay u soo baxeen marinkii Mikmaash.

²²And it hath been, in the day of battle, that there hath not been found sword and spear in the hand of any of the people who [are] with Saul and with Jonathan — and there is found to Saul and to Jonathan his son.

²³Oo ciidankii reer Falastiinna waxay u soo baxeen marinkii Mikmaash.

²³And the station of the Philistines goeth out unto the passage of Michmash.
