¹Taas dabadeedna boqorkii reer Cammoon ayaa dhintay, meeshiisiina waxaa boqor ka noqday wiilkiisii Xaanuun ahaa.

¹And it came to pass after this that the king of the children of Ammon died, and Hanun his son reigned in his stead.

²Markaasaa Daa'uud yidhi, Anigu Xaanuun ina Naaxaash, waxaan ugu roonaan doonaa sidii aabbihiis iigu roonaaday oo kale. Sidaas daraaddeed Daa'uud wuxuu u diray addoommadiisii inay ka soo tacsiyeeyaan aabbihiis. Oo addoommadii Daa'uudna waxay yimaadeen dalkii reer Cammoon.

²And David said, I will shew kindness to Hanun the son of Nahash, as his father shewed kindness to me. And David sent to comfort him by the hand of his servants for his father. And David's servants came into the land of the children of Ammon.

³Laakiinse amiirradii reer Cammoon waxay ku yidhaahdeen sayidkoodii Xaanuun, Ma waxaad u malaynaysaa in Daa'uud aabbahaa cisaynayo oo uu sidaas daraaddeed kuugu soo diray kuwa tacsiyada wada? Daa'uud sow uma soo dirin addoommadiisii inay magaalada baadhaan, oo ay soo basaasaan, oo ay dabadeedna afgembiyaan?

³And the princes of the children of Ammon said to Hanun their lord, Is it, in thine eyes, to honour thy father that David has sent comforters to thee? Is it not to search the city and to spy it out, and to overthrow it, that David has sent his servants to thee?

⁴Sidaas daraaddeed Xaanuun wuxuu qabsaday Daa'uud addoommadiisii, oo intuu gadhkoodii badh ka xiiray ayuu dharkoodiina dhexda ka kala gooyay xataa ilaa dabada, markaasuu iska eryay.

⁴And Hanun took David's servants, and had the one half of their beards shaved off, and their raiment cut off in the midst, as far as their buttocks, and sent them away.

⁵Oo taas markii Daa'uud loo soo sheegay wuxuu iyagii u diray dad ka hor taga, waayo, nimankii aad bay u ceeboobeen. Boqorkiina wuxuu iyagii ku yidhi, Yerixoo iska jooga ilaa gadhku idiin soo baxo, dabadeedna soo noqda.

⁵And they told [it] to David; and he sent to meet them, for the men were greatly ashamed. And the king said, Abide at Jericho until your beards be grown, and then return.

⁶Oo reer Cammoonna markay ogaadeen inay Daa'uud isnacsiiyeen ayay u cid direen oo ka soo kiraysteen reer Suuriyihii Beytrexob degganaa, iyo reer Suuriyihii Soobaah degganaa labaatan kun oo nin oo lug ah, iyo boqorkii Macakaah oo isna wata kun nin, iyo raggii reer Toob oo iyana ahaa laba iyo toban kun oo nin.

⁶And the children of Ammon saw that they had made themselves odious to David; and the children of Ammon sent and hired the Syrians of Beth-Rehob, and the Syrians of Zoba, twenty thousand footmen, and the king of Maacah [with] a thousand men, and the men of Tob twelve thousand men.

⁷Oo Daa'uudna markuu taas maqlay ayuu diray Yoo'aab, iyo ciidankii raggii xoogga lahaa oo dhan.

⁷And David heard [of it], and he sent Joab, and all the host, the mighty men.

⁸Oo reer Cammoonna way soo baxeen, oo waxay dagaal isugu soo diyaariyeen iridda horteeda; oo reer Suuriyihii Soobaah ka yimid, iyo kuwii Rexob ka yimid, iyo raggii reer Toob iyo reer Macakaahna, duurkay keli ahaantood joogeen.

⁸And the children of Ammon came out, and put the battle in array at the entrance of the gate; and the Syrians of Zoba and of Rehob, and the men of Tob and Maacah were by themselves in the field.

⁹Haddaba Yoo'aab markuu arkay in dagaal looga soo kacshay hore iyo dibba ayuu raggii reer binu Israa'iil ka xushay kuwii xuladka ahaa oo dhan, oo wuxuu u soo diyaariyey inay reer Suuriya la dagaallamaan.

⁹And Joab saw that the front of the battle was against him before and behind; and he chose out of all the choice men of Israel, and put them in array against the Syrians;

¹⁰Oo dadkii intiisii kalena wuxuu u dhiibay walaalkiis Abiishay, oo isna wuxuu u soo diyaariyey inay reer Cammoon la dagaallamaan.

¹⁰and the rest of the people he gave into the hand of Abishai his brother that he might array them against the children of Ammon.

¹¹Oo wuxuu yidhi, Haddii reer Suuriya iga xoog bataan, waa inaad i soo caawisaa, laakiinse haddii reer Cammoon kaa xoog bataan, markaasaan kuu iman doonaa oo waan ku soo caawin doonaa.

¹¹And he said, If the Syrians be too strong for me, then thou shalt help me; and if the children of Ammon be too strong for thee, then I will come and help thee.

¹²Haddaba si fiican u dhiirranow, oo aynu rag u ahaanno dadkeenna, iyo magaalooyinka Ilaaheen aawadood; oo Rabbiguna ha sameeyo wixii la wanaagsan.

¹²Be strong, and let us shew ourselves valiant for our people and for the cities of our God; and Jehovah do what is good in his sight.

¹³Sidaas daraaddeed Yoo'aab iyo dadkii la jirayba waxay ugu soo dhowaadeen inay la dagaallamaan reer Suuriya, oo iyana markaasay hortiisa ka carareen.

¹³And Joab drew near, and the people that were with him, unto the battle against the Syrians; and they fled before him.

¹⁴Oo reer Cammoonna markay arkeen in reer Suuriya carareen, ayay Abiishay iyana hortiisa saasoo kale uga carareen, oo waxay galeen magaaladii. Markaasaa Yoo'aab ka soo noqday reer Cammoon, oo Yeruusaalem yimid.

¹⁴And when the children of Ammon saw that the Syrians fled, they fled before Abishai, and entered into the city. And Joab returned from the children of Ammon, and came to Jerusalem.

¹⁵Oo reer Suuriyana markay arkeen in iyaga looga adkaaday reer binu Israa'iil hortooda ayay dhammaantood isa soo wada urursadeen.

¹⁵And when the Syrians saw that they were routed before Israel, they gathered themselves together.

¹⁶Markaasaa Hadarceser u cid diray oo soo wada kexeeyey reer Suuriyihii Webiga ka shisheeyey; oo waxay yimaadeen Xeelaam, iyagoo uu madax u yahay Shoobag oo ahaa sirkaalkii ciidanka Hadarceser.

¹⁶And Hadarezer sent, and drew forth the Syrians that were beyond the river; and they came to Helam; and Shobach the captain of the host of Hadarezer [went] before them.

¹⁷Taas waxaa loo soo sheegay Daa'uud, kolkaasuu reer binu Israa'iil oo dhan soo wada ururiyey, oo intuu ka soo gudbay Webi Urdun ayuu Xeelaam yimid. Markaasaa reer Suuriya isugu soo diyaariyeen inay Daa'uud la dagaallamaan, wayna la dirireen.

¹⁷And it was told David; and he gathered all Israel, and passed over the Jordan, and came to Helam. And the Syrians set themselves in array against David, and fought with him.

¹⁸Oo reer Suuriyana way ka carareen reer binu Israa'iil. Daa'uudna wuxuu reer Suuriya ka laayay toddoba boqol oo gaadhifaras raggoodii iyo afartan kun oo fardooley ah, oo wuxuu dilay Shoobag oo ahaa sirkaalkii ciidankooda, halkaasuuna ku dhintay.Oo markii boqorradii Hadarceser addoommada u ahaa oo dhammu ay arkeen in iyaga reer binu Israa'iil hortooda looga adkaaday ayay la nabdeen reer binu Israa'iil, wayna u adeegeen. Oo saas aawadeed reer Suuriya way ka cabsadeen inay mar dambe reer Cammoon caawiyaan.

¹⁸And the Syrians fled before Israel; and David slew of the Syrians seven hundred [in] chariots, and forty thousand horsemen, and smote Shobach the captain of their host, who died there.

¹⁹Oo markii boqorradii Hadarceser addoommada u ahaa oo dhammu ay arkeen in iyaga reer binu Israa'iil hortooda looga adkaaday ayay la nabdeen reer binu Israa'iil, wayna u adeegeen. Oo saas aawadeed reer Suuriya way ka cabsadeen inay mar dambe reer Cammoon caawiyaan.

¹⁹And all the kings that were servants to Hadarezer saw that they were routed before Israel, and they made peace with Israel, and served them. And the Syrians feared to help the children of Ammon any more.
