¹Then all Israel gathered themselves to David to Hebron, saying, “Behold, we are your bone and your flesh.

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

²In times past, even when Saul was king, it was you who led out and brought in Israel. Yahweh your God said to you, ‘You shall be shepherd of my people Israel, and you shall be prince over my people Israel.’”

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.

³So all the elders of Israel came to the king to Hebron; and David made a covenant with them in Hebron before Yahweh; and they anointed David king over Israel, according to the word of Yahweh by Samuel.

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.

⁴David and all Israel went to Jerusalem (the same is Jebus); and the Jebusites, the inhabitants of the land, were there.

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.

⁵The inhabitants of Jebus said to David, “You shall not come in here.” Nevertheless David took the stronghold of Zion. The same is the city of David.

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.

⁶David said, “Whoever strikes the Jebusites first shall be chief and captain.” Joab the son of Zeruiah went up first, and was made chief.

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.

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

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

⁸He built the city all around, from Millo even around; and Joab repaired the rest of the city.

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

⁹David grew greater and greater; for Yahweh of Armies was with him.

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

¹⁰Now these are the chief of the mighty men whom David had, who showed themselves strong with him in his kingdom, together with all Israel, to make him king, according to the word of Yahweh concerning Israel.

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.

¹¹This is the number of the mighty men whom David had: Jashobeam, the son of a Hachmonite, the chief of the thirty; he lifted up his spear against three hundred and killed them at one time.

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.

¹²After him was Eleazar the son of Dodo, the Ahohite, who was one of the three mighty men.

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

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

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.

¹⁴They stood in the midst of the plot, and defended it, and killed the Philistines; and Yahweh saved them by a great victory.

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

¹⁵Three of the thirty chief men went down to the rock to David, into the cave of Adullam; and the army of the Philistines were encamped in the valley of Rephaim.

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.

¹⁶David was then in the stronghold, and the garrison of the Philistines was then in Bethlehem.

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

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

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

¹⁸The three broke through the army of the Philistines, and drew water out of the well of Bethlehem, that was by the gate, and took it, and brought it to David: but David would not drink of it, but poured it out to Yahweh,

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.

¹⁹and said, “My God forbid it me, that I should do this! Shall I drink the blood of these men who have put their lives in jeopardy?” For they risked their lives to bring it. Therefore he would not drink it. The three mighty men did these things.

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.

²⁰Abishai, the brother of Joab, he was chief of the three; for he lifted up his spear against three hundred and killed them, and had a name among the three.

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.

²¹Of the three, he was more honorable than the two, and was made their captain: however he didn’t attain to the three.

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

²²Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, the son of a valiant man of Kabzeel, who had done mighty deeds, he killed the two sons of Ariel of Moab: he went down also and killed a lion in the midst of a pit in time of snow.

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,

²³He killed an Egyptian, a man of great 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 killed him with his own spear.

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.

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

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

²⁵Behold, he was more honorable than the thirty, but he didn’t attain to the three: and David set him over his guard.

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

²⁶Also the mighty men of the armies: Asahel the brother of Joab, Elhanan the son of Dodo of Bethlehem,
