¹Oo wakhtigii Daa'uud abaar baa dhacday intii saddex sannadood ah, oo sannadba sannadda ka dambayso, markaasaa Daa'uud Rabbiga baryay. Rabbiguna wuxuu yidhi, Tanu waxay ku timid Saa'uul iyo reerkiisa dhiigga qaba, maxaa yeelay, wuxuu laayay reer Gibecoon.

¹And there is a famine in the days of David three years, year after year, and David seeketh the face of Jehovah, and Jehovah saith, `For Saul and for the bloody house, because that he put to death the Gibeonites.`

²Markaasaa boqorkii reer Gibecoon u yeedhay, oo ku yidhi; (haddaba reer Gibecoon ma ay ahayn reer binu Israa'iil, laakiinse waxay ahaayeen dad ka hadhay reer Amor; oo reer binu Israa'iilna way u dhaarteen iyaga; oo Saa'uul baa wuxuu damcay inuu laayo iyaga qiiradii uu u qabay reer binu Israa'iil iyo reer Yahuudah aawadeed;)

²And the king calleth for the Gibeonites, and saith unto them — as to the Gibeonites, they [are] not of the sons of Israel, but of the remnant of the Amorite, and the sons of Israel had sworn to them, and Saul seeketh to smite them in his zeal for the sons of Israel and Judah —

³oo Daa'uud wuxuu reer Gibecoon ku yidhi, War maxaan idiin sameeyaa? Oo maxaan kafaaraggud u bixiyaa si aad dhaxalka Rabbiga ugu ducaysaan?

³yea, David saith unto the Gibeonites, `What do I do for you? and with what do I make atonement? and bless ye the inheritance of Jehovah.`

⁴Oo reer Gibecoonna waxay ku yidhaahdeen, Annaga iyo Saa'uul, iyo reerkiisa waxa na dhex yaallaa ma aha xaal ku eg lacag iyo dahab; oo annana dooni mayno inaannu reer binu Israa'iil nin ka dilno. Markaasuu ku yidhi, Haddaba wixii aad tidhaahdaan waan idiin samaynayaa.

⁴And the Gibeonites say to him, `We have no silver and gold by Saul and by his house, and we have no man to put to death in Israel;` and he saith, `What ye are saying I do to you.`

⁵Iyana waxay boqorkii ku yidhaahdeen, Ninkii na baabbi'iyey, oo ku fikiray in nala laayo, oo aannan dhex degganaan waddanka reer binu Israa'iil oo dhan,

⁵And they say unto the king, `The man who consumed us, and who devised against us — we have been destroyed from stationing ourselves in all the border of Israel —

⁶ha naloo keeno toddoba nin oo wiilashiisii ah, oo Rabbiga ayaannu ugu deldelaynaa Gibecaahdii Saa'uul, kii Rabbigu doortay.

⁶let there be given to us seven men of his sons, and we have hanged them before Jehovah, in the height of Saul, the chosen of Jehovah.` And the king saith, `I do give;`

⁷Laakiinse boqorkii wuu badbaadiyey Mefiiboshed, oo ahaa ina Yoonaataan ina Saa'uul, maxaa yeelay, dhaartii Rabbiga ayaa u dhexaysay Daa'uud iyo Yoonaataan ina Saa'uul.

⁷and the king hath pity on Mephibosheth son of Jonathan, son of Saul, because of the oath of Jehovah that [is] between them, between David and Jonathan son of Saul;

⁸Laakiinse boqorkii wuxuu soo qabtay labadii wiil ee Risfaah ina Ayah, oo ay u dhashay Saa'uul, kuwaas oo ahaa Armonii iyo Mefiiboshed, iyo shantii wiil ee Miikaal ina Saa'uul, oo ay u dhashay Cadrii'eel ina Barsillay kii reer Mexolaad;

⁸and the king taketh the two sons of Rizpah daughter of Aiah, whom she bore to Saul, Armoni and Mephibosheth, and the five sons of Michal daughter of Saul whom she bare to Adriel son of Barzillai the Meholathite,

⁹oo wuxuu u gacangeliyey reer Gibecoon, oo buurtay ku deldeleen Rabbiga hortiisa, oo toddobadoodiiba way wada dhinteen; oo waxaana la dilay xilligii beergooyska maalmaha ugu horreeya, marka shaciirka la gooyo.

⁹and giveth them into the hand of the Gibeonites, and they hang them in the hill before Jehovah; and the seven fall together, and they have been put to death in the days of harvest, in the first [days], the commencement of barley-harvest.

¹⁰Markaasaa Risfaah oo ahayd ina Ayah ayaa soo qaadatay dhar joonyad ah oo waxay ku goglatay dhagaxa, halkaasna waxay joogtay wakhtigii beergooyska iyo ilaa roob cirka ka soo daatay; oo maalintiina uma ay oggolaan in haadka hawadu ku dego, habeenkiina waxay ka dhawri jirtay dugaagga duurka.

¹⁰And Rizpah daughter of Aiah taketh the sackcloth, and stretcheth it out for herself on the rock, from the commencement of harvest till water hath been poured out upon them from the heavens, and hath not suffered a fowl of the heavens to rest upon them by day, or the beast of the field by night.

¹¹Oo waxaa Daa'uud loo soo sheegay wixii ay samaysay Risfaah ina Ayah oo ahayd Saa'uul naagtiisii addoonta ahayd.

¹¹And it is declared to David that which Rizpah daughter of Aiah, concubine of Saul, hath done,

¹²Oo Daa'uud intuu tegey ayuu lafihii Saa'uul iyo lafihii wiilkiisii Yoonaataan ka soo qaaday dadkii reer Yaabeesh Gilecaad oo ka xaday jidkii Beytshaan, kaasoo ah meeshii ay reer Falastiin ku deldeleen iyaga, maalintii ay reer Falastiin Saa'uul ku dileen Gilboca,

¹²and David goeth and taketh the bones of Saul, and the bones of Jonathan his son, from the possessors of Jabesh-Gilead, who had stolen them from the broad place of Beth-Shan, where the Philistines hanged them, in the day of the Philistines smiting Saul in Gilboa;

¹³oo halkaasuu ka soo qaaday lafihii Saa'uul iyo lafihii wiilkiisii Yoonaataan; oo waxaa la soo ururiyey kuwii la deldelay lafahoodii.

¹³and he bringeth up thence the bones of Saul, and the bones of Jonathan his son, and they gather the bones of those hanged,

¹⁴Oo lafihii Saa'uul iyo lafihii wiilkiisii Yoonaataan waxaa lagu aasay dalka reer Benyaamiin meel ku taal oo la yidhaahdo Seelac, oo waxaa la geliyey qabrigii aabbihiis Qiish; oo waxaa la sameeyey kulli wixii boqorku ku amray oo dhan. Oo taas dabadeedna Ilaah baa dalkii loo baryay.

¹⁴and bury the bones of Saul and of Jonathan his son in the land of Benjamin, in Zelah, in the burying-place of Kish his father, and do all that the king commanded, and God is entreated for the land afterwards.

¹⁵Oo haddana reer Falastiin waxay la dirireen reer binu Israa'iil, markaasaa Daa'uud dhaadhacay isaga iyo addoommadiisii la socdayba, oo waxay la dirireen reer Falastiin; laakiinse Daa'uud wuu taag gabay.

¹⁵And again have the Philistines war with Israel, and David goeth down, and his servants with him, and they fight with the Philistines; and David is weary,

¹⁶Oo Yiishbii Benob, oo ka mid ahaa wiilashii Rafaa, oo miisaanka warankiisu ahaa saddex boqol oo sheqel oo naxaas ah, oo seef cusubuna dhexday ugu xidhnayd, ayaa damcay inuu Daa'uud dilo.

¹⁶and Ishbi-Benob, who [is] among the children of the giant — the weight of his spear [is] three hundred [shekels] weight of brass, and he is girded with a new one — speaketh of smiting David,

¹⁷Laakiinse Daa'uud waxaa caawiyey Abiishay oo ay Seruuyaah dhashay, oo intuu kii reer Falastiin wax ku dhuftay ayuu dilay. Markaasaa Daa'uud raggiisii dhaar u mareen, oo ku yidhaahdeen, Adigu mar dambe dagaal noola bixi maysid, yaadan laambadda reer binu Israa'iil bakhtiine.

¹⁷and Abishai son of Zeruiah giveth help to him, and smiteth the Philistine, and putteth him to death; then swear the men of David to him, saying, `Thou dost not go out again with us to battle, nor quench the lamp of Israel.`

¹⁸Oo taas dabadeed waxay noqotay in reer Falastiin haddana Goob lagula diriray, oo Sibbekay oo reer Xushaad ahaa wuxuu dilay Saf oo ahaa mid ka mid ah wiilashii Rafaa.

¹⁸And it cometh to pass afterwards, that the battle is again in Gob with the Philistines, then hath Sibbechai the Hushathite smitten Saph, who [is] among the children of the giant.

¹⁹Oo haddana reer Falastiin waxaa lagula diriray Goob; oo Elxaanaan ina Yacaray Oregiim oo reer Beytlaxam ahaa wuxuu dilay Goli'ad oo reer Gad ahaa, oo samayda warankiisuna waxay le'ekayd dharsameeyaha looxiisa.

¹⁹And the battle is again in Gob with the Philistines, and Elhanan son of Jaare-Oregim, the Beth-Lehemite, smiteth [a brother of] Goliath the Gittite, and the wood of his spear [is] like a beam of weavers.

²⁰Oo haddana waxaa dagaal ka dhacay Gad, halkaasna waxaa joogay nin aad u dheer, oo gacmahana mid kasta wuxuu ku lahaa lix farood, cagahana mid kasta wuxuu ku lahaa lix farood, oo farihiisuna kulligood waxay ahaayeen afar iyo labaatan, oo isna wuxuu u dhashay Rafaa.

²⁰And the battle is again in Gath, and there is a man of stature, and the fingers of his hands [are] six, and the toes of his feet [are] six, twenty and four in number, and he also hath been born to the giant,

²¹Oo markuu reer binu Israa'iil caayay, waxaa isagii dilay Yoonaataan oo uu Daa'uud walaalkiisii Shimcii ahaa dhalay.Afartaasu waxay Rafaa ugu dhasheen Gad; oo waxay ku dhinteen Daa'uud gacantiisii, iyo gacantii addoommadiisa.

²¹and he reproacheth Israel, and smite him doth Jonathan son of Shimeah, brother of David;

²²Afartaasu waxay Rafaa ugu dhasheen Gad; oo waxay ku dhinteen Daa'uud gacantiisii, iyo gacantii addoommadiisa.

²²these four have been born to the giant in Gath, and they fall by the hand of David, and by the hand of his servants.
