¹Markaasaa reer binu Israa'iil oo dhammu waxay Daa'uud ugu soo shireen Xebroon, oo waxay ku yidhaahdeen, Annagu waxaannu nahay laftaada iyo jidhkaaga.

¹And all Israel assembled themselves to David to Hebron, saying, Behold, we are thy bone and thy flesh.

²Waagii hore markii Saa'uul boqorka ahaa adiguu ahaa kii reer binu Israa'iil dibadda u bixin jiray oo gudaha soo gelin jiray, oo Rabbiga Ilaahaaga ahuna wuxuu kugu yidhi, Adigu waxaad quudin doontaa dadkayga reer binu Israa'iil, oo amiir baanad u ahaan doontaa dadkayga reer binu Israa'iil.

²Even aforetime, even when Saul was king, thou wast he that leddest out and broughtest in Israel; and Jehovah thy God said to thee, Thou shalt feed my people Israel, and thou shalt be prince over my people Israel.

³Sidaas aawadeed odayaashii reer binu Israa'iil oo dhammu waxay boqorkii ugu yimaadeen Xebroon, oo Daa'uudna wuxuu iyagii axdi kula dhigtay Xebroon Rabbiga hortiisa; oo iyana waxay Daa'uud u boqreen inuu ahaado boqor reer binu Israa'iil u taliya, siduu ahaa Eraygii Rabbiga oo uu u soo dhiibay Samuu'eel.

³And all the elders of Israel came to the king to Hebron; and David made a covenant with them in Hebron before Jehovah; and they anointed David king over Israel according to the word of Jehovah through Samuel.

⁴Markaasaa Daa'uud iyo reer binu Israa'iil oo dhammu waxay tageen Yeruusaalem (taasoo ah Yebuus), oo halkaasna waxaa joogay dadkii dalka degganaa oo ahaa reer Yebuus.

⁴And David and all Israel went to Jerusalem, which is Jebus; where the Jebusites were, the inhabitants of the land.

⁵Markaasaa dadkii Yebuus degganaa waxay Daa'uud ku yidhaahdeen, Adigu halkan soo geli maysid. Habase yeeshee Daa'uud waa qabsaday qalcaddii Siyoon, oo taasuna waa magaaladii Daa'uud.

⁵And the inhabitants of Jebus said to David, Thou shalt not come in hither. But David took the stronghold of Zion, which is the city of David.

⁶Markaasaa Daa'uud wuxuu yidhi, Ku alla kii marka hore reer Yebuus laayaa wuxuu noqon doonaa madax iyo sirkaal. Oo waxaa markii hore baxay Yoo'aab oo ay Seruuyaah dhashay, oo isagii ayaa waxaa laga dhigay madax.

⁶And David said, Whoever smites the Jebusites first shall be chief and captain. And Joab the son of Zeruiah went first up, and was chief.

⁷Oo Daa'uudna qalcaddii ayuu degay, oo sidaas daraaddeed waxaa loo bixiyey magaaladii Daa'uud.

⁷And David dwelt in the stronghold; therefore they called it the city of David.

⁸Oo wuxuu dhisay magaalada hareeraheedii, iyo tan iyo Millo wareeggeeda. Oo Yoo'aabna wuxuu cusboonaysiiyey magaalada inteedii kale.

⁸And he built the city round about, even from the Millo round about; and Joab renewed the rest of the city.

⁹Oo Daa'uudna aad iyo aad buu u sii xoogaystay, waayo, waxaa isaga la jiray Rabbigii ciidammada.

⁹And David became continually greater; and Jehovah of hosts was with him.

¹⁰Haddaba kuwanu waa kuwii u horreeyey ee nimankii xoogga badnaa oo Daa'uud haystay, kuwaasoo ismuujiyey inay isaga iyo boqortooyadiisa aad iyo aad ula jiraan si ay boqor uga dhigtaan iyadoo reer binu Israa'iil oo dhammu ay la wada jiraan, siduu ahaa Eraygii Rabbiga oo reer binu Israa'iil ku saabsanaa.

¹⁰And these are the chief of the mighty men whom David had, who shewed themselves valiant with him in his kingdom, with all Israel, to make him king, according to the word of Jehovah concerning Israel.

¹¹Oo tanuna waa tiradii raggii xoogga badnaa oo Daa'uud haystay: Yaashaabcaam oo ahaa reer Xakmoonii oo ahaa ka ugu horreeya soddonka, isagu wuxuu warankiisa u qaaday saddex boqol oo nin, oo isku mar buuna laayay.

¹¹And this is the number of the mighty men whom David had: Jashobeam, the son of Hachmoni, the chief of the captains; he brandished his spear against three hundred, slain [by him] at one time.

¹²Oo isaga dabadiisna waxaa jiray Elecaasaar ina Doodoo, oo ahaa reer Axoo'ax, oo isna wuxuu ahaa saddexdii nin oo xoogga badnaa midkood.

¹²And after him, Eleazar the son of Dodo, the Ahohite; he was one of the three mighty men.

¹³Oo isagu wuxuu Daa'uud la joogay Fasdammiim, oo halkaasna waxaa dagaal ugu soo ururay reer Falastiin, meeshaas oo ahayd dhul beero ah oo shaciir ka buuxo, oo dadkiina way ka carareen reer Falastiin hortooda.

¹³He was with David at Pas-dammim, where the Philistines were gathered together to battle; and there was [there] a plot of ground full of barley; and the people had fled from before the Philistines.

¹⁴Oo beertii bay isdhex taageen oo daafaceen, wayna laayeen reer Falastiin, oo Rabbiguna wuxuu iyagii ku badbaadiyey guul weyn.

¹⁴And they stood in the midst of the plot and delivered it, and smote the Philistines; and Jehovah wrought a great deliverance.

¹⁵Oo soddonkii ugu horreeyey saddex ka mid ah ayaa hoos ugu dhaadhacay dhagixii weynaa ee Daa'uud joogay, oo waxay galeen godkii Cadullaam, oo ciidankii reer Falastiinna waxay soo degeen dooxadii Refaa'iim.

¹⁵And three of the thirty chiefs went down to the rock to David, to the cave of Adullam, when the army of the Philistines was encamped in the valley of Rephaim.

¹⁶Oo markaas Daa'uud wuxuu ku jiray dhufayskii, oo ciidankii reer Falastiin xeradooduna waxay ahayd Beytlaxam.

¹⁶And David was then in the stronghold; and the Philistines' garrison was then at Bethlehem.

¹⁷Oo Daa'uudna intuu biyo u xiisooday ayuu yidhi, Waxaan jeclaan lahaa in biyo layga siiyo ceelka Beytlaxam, ee iridda ku ag yaal!

¹⁷And David longed, and said, Oh that one would give me to drink of the water of the well of Bethlehem, which is in the gate!

¹⁸Markaasaa saddexdii ayaa dhex maray ciidankii reer Falastiin, oo waxay biyo ka soo dhaamiyeen ceelkii Beytlaxam ee iridda ku ag yiil, oo intay soo qaadeen ayay Daa'uud u keeneen, laakiinse Daa'uud wuu diiday inuu cabbo biyahaas, Rabbiguuse u daadshay.

¹⁸And the three broke through the camp of the Philistines, and drew water out of the well of Bethlehem, which is in the gate, and took it, and brought it to David; David however would not drink of it, but poured it out to Jehovah.

¹⁹Oo wuxuu yidhi, Anigu inaan saas yeelo Ilaahaygu ha ii diido, ma waxaan cabbaa dhiiggii nimankan naftooda biimeeyey? Waayo, iyagu biyahan waxay ku keeneen naftoodii oo halis ku jirta. Sidaas daraaddeed wuu diiday inuu cabbo. Oo saddexdii nin oo xoogga badnaana saasay yeeleen.

¹⁹And he said, My God forbid it me, that I should do this thing! should I drink the blood of these men [who went] at the risk of their lives? for at the risk of their lives they brought it. Therefore he would not drink it. These things did the three mighty men.

²⁰Oo saddexdoodana waxaa madax u ahaa Abiishay oo ahaa Yoo'aab walaalkiis, waayo, isagu wuxuu warankiisa u qaaday saddex boqol oo nin, wuuna laayay, saddexdiina magac buu ku lahaa.

²⁰And Abishai the brother of Joab, he was the chief of three; and he brandished his spear against three hundred and slew them; and he had a name among the three.

²¹Oo isagu labada kaleba wuu ka ciso badnaa, oo waxaa looga dhigay sirkaal, habase yeeshee saddexdii hore ma uu gaadhin.

²¹Of the three he was more honourable than the two, and he was their captain; but he did not attain to the [first] three.

²²Benaayaah ina Yehooyaadaac, oo uu dhalay nin xoog weyn oo reer Qabse'eel ahu, kaasoo sameeyey falimo waaweyn wuxuu dilay labadii wiil oo Arii'eel kii reer Moo'aab, oo haddana wuu tegay oo libaax buu god ku dhex dilay wakhtiga barafka,

²²Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, the son of a valiant man, great in exploits, of Kabzeel: he it was that smote two lions of Moab; and he went down and smote a lion in the midst of a pit on a snowy day.

²³oo wuxuu kaloo dilay nin Masri ah oo ahaa nin aad u dheer, oo dhererkiisuna wuxuu ahaa shan dhudhun, oo Masriguna wuxuu gacanta ku haystay waran le'eg dharsameeyaha looxiisa, oo isna wuxuu ula tegey ul, oo warankii ka dhufsaday gacantii Masriga, oo isagii ku dilay warankiisii.

²³He also smote the Egyptian, a man of stature, five cubits high: and in the Egyptian's hand was a spear like a weaver's beam; and he went down to him with a staff, and plucked the spear out of the Egyptian's hand, and slew him with his own spear.

²⁴Oo waxyaalahan waxaa sameeyey Benaayaah oo ahaa ina Yehooyaadaac, oo isna saddexdii nin ee xoogga badnaa magac buu ku lahaa.

²⁴These things did Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and he had a name among the three mighty men.

²⁵Oo bal eeg, isagu wuu ka ciso badnaa soddonka, laakiinse ma uu gaadhin saddexdii hore, oo Daa'uudna wuxuu isaga madax uga dhigay lataliyayaashiisii.

²⁵Behold, he was honoured above the thirty, but he did not attain to the [first] three. And David set him in his council.
