¹Oo maalintii saddexaad intaanay Daa'uud iyo raggiisii Siiqlag iman ayaa reer Camaaleq soo dhaceen xagga koonfureed, iyo Siiqlag, oo waxay weerareen Siiqlag, wayna gubeen;

¹And it cometh to pass, in the coming in of David and his men to Ziklag, on the third day, that the Amalekites have pushed unto the south, and unto Ziklag, and smite Ziklag, and burn it with fire,

²oo waxay la tageen dumarkii iyo kuwii magaalada ku jiray oo dhan yar iyo weynba. Waxba kama ay layn, laakiinse way la tageen oo iska baxeen.

²and they take captive the women who [are] in it; from small unto great they have not put any one to death, and they lead away, and go on their way.

³Oo Daa'uud iyo raggiisiina markay magaaladii yimaadeen, waxay arkeen iyadoo la gubay, oo naagahoodii iyo wiilashoodii iyo gabdhahoodiiba loola wada tegey maxaabiis ahaan.

³And David cometh in — and his men — unto the city, and lo, burnt with fire, and their wives, and their sons, and their daughters have been taken captive!

⁴Markaasaa Daa'uud iyo dadkii la jirayba codkoodii kor u qaadeen oo ooyeen, ilaa ay waayeen itaal ay ku sii ooyaan.

⁴And David lifteth up — and the people who [are] with him — their voice and weep, till that they have no power to weep.

⁵Oo Daa'uud labadiisii naagood ee ahaa Axiinocam tii reer Yesreceel, iyo Abiigayil oo ahayd reer Karmel oo Naabaalna u dhaxdayba, waa lala tegey iyagoo maxaabiis ah.

⁵And the two wives of David have been taken captive, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess, and Abigail wife of Nabal the Carmelite;

⁶Oo Daa'uudna aad buu u dhibtooday, waayo, dadku waxay ku wada hadleen inay dhagxiyaan, maxaa yeelay, dadkii wuxuu u wada calool xumaaday nin waluba wiilashiisii iyo gabdhihiisii, laakiinse Daa'uud wuxuu isku sii dhiirriyey Rabbiga Ilaahiisa ah.

⁶and David hath great distress, for the people have said to stone him, for the soul of all the people hath been bitter, each for his sons and for his daughters; and David doth strengthen himself in Jehovah his God.

⁷Markaasaa Daa'uud wuxuu wadaadkii ahaa Aabyaataar ina Axiimeleg ku yidhi, Waan ku baryayaaye eefodka halkan iigu keen. Aabyaataarna eefodkii buu Daa'uud u keenay.

⁷And David saith unto Abiathar the priest, son of Ahimelech, `Bring nigh, I pray thee, to me the ephod;` and Abiathar bringeth nigh the ephod unto David,

⁸Markaasaa Daa'uud Rabbiga wax weyddiiyey, oo wuxuu yidhi, Miyaan eryadaa colkan, oo miyaan gaadhayaa? Oo Rabbiguna wuxuu ugu jawaabay, Haah, eryo, waayo, hubaal waad gaadhaysaa, oo intii lala tegey oo dhan waad soo celinaysaa.

⁸and David asketh at Jehovah, saying, `I pursue after this troop — do I overtake it?` And He saith to him, `Pursue, for thou dost certainly overtake, and dost certainly deliver.`

⁹Sidaas daraaddeed Daa'uud wuu tegey, isagii iyo lixdii boqol oo nin ee la jirtayba, oo waxay yimaadeen durdurkii Besoor, oo intii laga tegeyna halkaasay ku hadheen.

⁹And David goeth on, he and six hundred men who [are] with him, and they come in unto the brook of Besor, and those left have stood still,

¹⁰Laakiinse Daa'uud wuu eryaday, isagoo afar boqol oo nin wata; waayo, laba boqol ayaa dib u hadhay, kuwaasoo aad u daalay oo dhaafi kari waayay durdurkii Besoor.

¹⁰and David pursueth, he and four hundred men, (and two hundred men stand still who have been too faint to pass over the brook of Besor),

¹¹Oo mid Masri ah ayay duurka ka heleen, oo waxay u keeneen Daa'uud, oo kibisna way siiyeen, wuuna cunay, oo biyo uu cabbona way siiyeen.

¹¹and they find a man, an Egyptian, in the field, and take him unto David, and give to him bread, and he eateth, and they cause him to drink water,

¹²Oo waxay kaloo siiyeen fud yar oo berde ah, iyo laba rucubood oo sabiib ah; oo markuu cunay ayaa naftii ku soo noqotay, waayo, saddex maalmood iyo saddex habeen kibisna ma uu cunin, biyona ma uu cabbin.

¹²and give to him a piece of a bunch of dried figs, and two bunches of raisins, and he eateth, and his spirit returneth unto him, for he hath not eaten bread nor drunk water three days and three nights.

¹³Markaasaa Daa'uud wuxuu ku yidhi, War yaa ku leh? Oo xaggee baad ka timid? Isna wuxuu yidhi, Waxaan ahay nin dhallinyar oo Masri ah, oo addoon baan u ahay mid reer Camaaleq ah. Sayidkaygii baa iga tegey, maxaa yeelay, saddex maalmood ka hor ayaan bukooday.

¹³And David saith to him, `Whose [art] thou? and whence [art] thou?` And he saith, `An Egyptian youth I [am], servant to a man, an Amalekite, and my lord forsaketh me, for I have been sick three days,

¹⁴Oo waxaannu soo dhacnay reer Kereetiim xaggooda Koonfureed, iyo dalka ay leeyihiin reer Yahuudah, iyo xagga Koonfureed oo reer Kaaleeb; oo Siiqlagna waan gubnay.

¹⁴we pushed [to] the south of the Cherethite, and against that which [is] to Judah, and against the south of Caleb, and Ziklag we burned with fire.`

¹⁵Markaasaa Daa'uud wuxuu ku yidhi, Colkaas ma ii geeynaysaa? Isna wuxuu yidhi, Ilaah iigu dhaaro inaadan i dilayn, sayidkaygiina ii gacangelinayn, oo anna colkaas waan kuu geeynayaa.

¹⁵And David saith unto him, `Dost thou bring me down unto this troop?` and he saith, `Swear to me by God — thou dost not put me to death, nor dost thou shut me up into the hand of my lord — and I bring thee down unto this troop.`

¹⁶Oo markuu keenay waxay ku kala firidhsanaayeen dhulka oo dhan, iyagoo wax cabbaya, oo wax cunaya, oo cayaaraya, maxaa yeelay, maal badan bay ka soo dhaceen dalkii reer Falastiin iyo dalkii Yahuudahba.

¹⁶And he bringeth him down, and lo, they are spread out over the face of all the earth, eating, and drinking, and feasting, with all the great spoil which they have taken out of the land of the Philistines, and out of the land of Judah.

¹⁷Oo Daa'uudna wuxuu laynayay iyagii fiidkii ilaa fiidkiisii kale, oo nin iyagii ahuna ma baxsan, afar boqol oo dhallinyaro ah oo intay awr fuuleen ku carartay mooyaane.

¹⁷And David smiteth them from the twilight even unto the evening of the morrow, and there hath not escaped of them a man, except four hundred young men who have ridden on the camels, and are fled.

¹⁸Oo Daa'uudna wuu soo wada dhiciyey waxay reer Camaaleq la tageen oo dhan; oo labadiisii naagoodna Daa'uud waa soo badbaadiyey.

¹⁸And David delivereth all that the Amalekites have taken; also his two wives hath David delivered.

¹⁹Oo waxba kama maqnayn iyagii, wax yar iyo wax weyn toona, ama wiilal iyo gabdho toona, ama booli iyo wixii ay la tageen oo dhan toona; oo Daa'uudna wuu soo wada celiyey kulligood.

¹⁹And there hath not lacked to them [anything], from small unto great, and unto sons and daughters, and from the spoil, even unto all that they had taken to themselves, the whole hath David brought back,

²⁰Markaasaa Daa'uud kaxaystay idihii iyo lo'dii oo dhan, oo waxay ku hor kexeeyeen xoolihii kale, oo yidhaahdeen, Intanu waa boolidii Daa'uud.

²⁰and David taketh the whole of the flock, and of the herd, they have led on before these cattle, and they say, `This [is] David`s spoil.`

²¹Oo Daa'uudna wuxuu u yimid labadii boqol oo nin oo intay daaleen Daa'uud raaci kari weyday, oo ay durdurkii Besoor agtiisa kaga tageen, oo iyana waxay u soo baxeen inay ka hor tagaan Daa'uud iyo dadkii la jiray; oo Daa'uudna markuu dadkii u soo dhowaaday ayuu nabdaadiyey.

²¹And David cometh in unto the two hundred men who were too faint to go after David, and whom they cause to abide at the brook of Besor, and they go out to meet David, and to meet the people who [are] with him, and David approacheth the people, and asketh of them of welfare.

²²Markaasay raggii sharka lahaa ee waxmatarayaasha ahaa oo Daa'uud raacay oo dhammuba waxay ugu jawaabeen, Maalkii aannu soo dhacsannay iyaga waxba ka siin mayno, maxaa yeelay, nama ay raacin, laakiinse nin kasta waxaannu siinaynaa naagtiisii iyo carruurtiisii, ee ha kaxaysteen oo ha iska tageen.

²²And every bad and worthless man, of the men who have gone with David, answereth, yea, they say, `Because that they have not gone with us we do not give to them of the spoil which we have delivered, except each his wife and his children, and they lead away and go.

²³Markaasaa Daa'uud wuxuu yidhi, Walaalahayow, waa inaydnaan saas ku samayn wixii Rabbigu ina siiyey, kaasoo ah kii ina badbaadiyey, oo weliba inoo soo gacangeliyey colkii ina soo weeraray.

²³And David saith, `Ye do not do so, my brethren, with that which Jehovah hath given to us, and He doth preserve us, and doth give the troop which cometh against us into our hand;

²⁴Haddaba bal yaa waxaa idinka maqlaya? Ka dagaalka u baxaa siduu qayb u helo ayuu ka alaabta ku hadhaana qayb u helayaa; isku si waa inay u qaybsadaan.

²⁴and who doth hearken to you in this thing? for as the portion of him who was brought down into battle, so also [is] the portion of him who is abiding by the vessels — alike they share.`

²⁵Maalintaas intay ka bilaabanto ilaa maantadan la joogo, wuxuu taas uga dhigay reer binu Israa'iil, qaynuun iyo amar.

²⁵And it cometh to pass from that day and forward, that he appointeth it for a statute and for an ordinance for Israel unto this day.

²⁶Oo Daa'uudna markuu Siiqlag yimid ayuu boolidii qaarkeed odayaashii dalkii Yahuudah u diray, iyo xataa saaxiibbadiis, oo wuxuu ku yidhi, Bal eega, tanu waa hadiyad ka mid ah boolidii aan cadaawayaashii Rabbiga ka soo dhacay,

²⁶And David cometh in unto Ziklag, and sendeth of the spoil to the elders of Judah, to his friends, (saying, `Lo, for you a blessing, of the spoil of the enemies of Jehovah),`

²⁷oo wuxuu u wada diray kuwii Beytel joogay, iyo kuwii Raamod tii koonfureed joogay, iyo xataa kuwii Yatiir joogay,

²⁷to those in Beth-El, and to those in South Ramoth, and to those in Jattir,

²⁸iyo kuwii Carooceer joogay, iyo kuwii Sifmood joogay, iyo kuwii Eshtemooca joogay,

²⁸and to those in Aroer, and to those in Siphmoth, and to those in Eshtemoa,

²⁹iyo kuwii Raakaal joogay, iyo kuwii magaalooyinka reer Yeraxme'eel joogay, iyo kuwii magaalooyinka reer Qeyn joogay,

²⁹and to those in Rachal, and to those in the cities of the Jerahmeelites, and to those in the cities of the Kenites,

³⁰iyo kuwii Xormaah joogay, iyo kuwii Koor Caashaan joogay, iyo kuwii Cataag joogay,iyo kuwii Xebroon joogay, oo xataa wuu u wada diray kuwii joogay meelihii Daa'uud iyo raggiisu ku noqnoqon jireen oo dhan.

³⁰and to those in Hormah, and to those in Chor-Ashan, and to those in Athach,

³¹iyo kuwii Xebroon joogay, oo xataa wuu u wada diray kuwii joogay meelihii Daa'uud iyo raggiisu ku noqnoqon jireen oo dhan.

³¹and to those in Hebron, and to all the places where David had gone up and down, he and his men.
