¹It happened after this, that Nahash the king of the children of Ammon died, and his son reigned in his place.

¹Taas dabadeedna Naaxaash oo boqor u ahaa reer Cammoon ayaa dhintay, meeshiisiina waxaa boqor ka noqday wiilkiisii.

²David said, “I will show kindness to Hanun the son of Nahash, because his father showed kindness to me.” So David sent messengers to comfort him concerning his father. David’s servants came into the land of the children of Ammon to Hanun, to comfort him.

²Markaasaa Daa'uud yidhi, Anigu waxaan u roonaan doonaa Xaanuun ina Naaxaash, maxaa yeelay, aabbihiis baa ii roonaaday. Sidaas daraaddeed Daa'uud wuxuu u diray wargeeyayaal inay u tacsiyeeyaan aabbihiis. Markaasaa Daa'uud addoommadiisii waxay dalkii reer Cammoon ugu yimaadeen Xaanuun inay isaga u tacsiyeeyaan.

³But the princes of the children of Ammon said to Hanun, “Do you think that David honors your father, in that he has sent comforters to you? Haven’t his servants come to you to search, to overthrow, and to spy out the land?”

³Laakiinse amiirradii reer Cammoon waxay Xaanuun ku yidhaahdeen, Ma waxaad u malaynaysaa in Daa'uud aabbahaa cisaynayo oo uu sidaas daraaddeed kuugu soo diray kuwa tacsiyada wada? Addoommadiisu sow kuuguma iman inay dalka baadhaan oo basaasaan oo afgembiyaan?

⁴So Hanun took David’s servants, and shaved them, and cut off their garments in the middle, even to their buttocks, and sent them away.

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

⁵Then there went certain persons, and told David how the men were served. He sent to meet them; for the men were greatly ashamed. The king said, “Stay at Jericho until your beards have grown, and then return.”

⁵Markaasaa la tegey oo Daa'uud loo soo sheegay sidii nimankii loo galay. Oo isna 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.

⁶When the children of Ammon saw that they had made themselves odious to David, Hanun and the children of Ammon sent one thousand talents of silver to hire them chariots and horsemen out of Mesopotamia, and out of Arammaacah, and out of Zobah.

⁶Oo reer Cammoonna markay ogaadeen inay Daa'uud isnacsiiyeen ayaa Xaanuun iyo reer Cammoon sii dhiibeen kun talanti oo lacag ah inay gaadhifardood iyo rag fardooley ah kaga soo kiraystaan Mesobotamiya, iyo Aram Macakaah, iyo Soobaah.

⁷So they hired for themselves thirty-two thousand chariots, and the king of Maacah and his people, who came and encamped before Medeba. The children of Ammon gathered themselves together from their cities, and came to battle.

⁷Sidaasay u soo kiraysteen laba iyo soddon kun oo gaadhifaras, iyo boqorkii Macakaah iyo dadkiisii, kuwaasoo yimid oo Meedebaa horteeda degay. Oo reer Cammoonna waxay iska soo wada urursadeen magaalooyinkoodii, oo dagaal bay u soo baxeen.

⁸When David heard of it, he sent Joab, and all the army of the mighty men.

⁸Oo Daa'uudna markuu taas maqlay ayuu diray Yoo'aab iyo ciidankii raggii xoogga lahaa oo dhan.

⁹The children of Ammon came out, and put the battle in array at the gate of the city: and the kings who had come were by themselves in the field.

⁹Oo reer Cammoonna way soo baxeen, oo waxay dagaal isugu soo diyaariyeen magaalada iriddeeda, oo boqorradii yimidna duurkay keli ahaantood joogeen.

¹⁰Now when Joab saw that the battle was set against him before and behind, he chose of all the choice men of Israel, and put them in array against the Syrians.

¹⁰Haddaba 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.

¹¹The rest of the people he committed into the hand of Abishai his brother; and they put themselves in array against the children of Ammon.

¹¹Oo dadkii intiisii kalena wuxuu u dhiibay walaalkiis Abiishay, oo iyana waxay isu soo diyaariyeen inay reer Cammoon la dagaallamaan.

¹²He said, “If the Syrians are too strong for me, then you are to help me; but if the children of Ammon are too strong for you, then I will help you.

¹²Oo wuxuu walaalkiis ku yidhi, Haddii reer Suuriya iga xoog bataan waa inaad i soo caawisaa, laakiinse haddii reer Cammoon kaa xoog bataan, markaasaan ku soo caawin doonaa.

¹³Be courageous, and let us be strong for our people, and for the cities of our God. May Yahweh do that which seems good to him.”

¹³Haddaba si fiican u dhiirranow, oo aynu rag u ahaanno dadkeenna iyo magaalooyinka Ilaaheen aawadood, oo Rabbiguna ha sameeyo wixii la wanaagsan.

¹⁴So Joab and the people who were with him drew near before the Syrians to the battle; and they fled before him.

¹⁴Sidaas daraaddeed Yoo'aab iyo dadkii la jirayba waxay ugu soo dhowaadeen inay la dagaallamaan reer Suuriya, oo iyana markaasay hortiisa ka carareen.

¹⁵When the children of Ammon saw that the Syrians had fled, they likewise fled before Abishai his brother, and entered into the city. Then Joab came to Jerusalem.

¹⁵Oo reer Cammoonna markay arkeen in reer Suuriya carareen ayay iyana walaalkiis Abiishay hortiisa saasoo kale uga carareen, oo waxay galeen magaaladii. Markaasaa Yoo'aab Yeruusaalem yimid.

¹⁶When the Syrians saw that they were defeated by Israel, they sent messengers, and drew forth the Syrians who were beyond the River, with Shophach the captain of the army of Hadadezer at their head.

¹⁶Oo reer Suuriya markay arkeen in iyaga looga adkaaday reer binu Israa'iil hortooda ayay wargeeyayaal u direen oo soo kaxeeyeen reer Suuriyihii Webiga ka shisheeyey, iyagoo uu madax u yahay Shoofag oo ahaa sirkaalkii ciidanka Hadarceser.

¹⁷It was told David; and he gathered all Israel together, and passed over the Jordan, and came on them, and set the battle in array against them. So when David had put the battle in array against the Syrians, they fought with him.

¹⁷Taas waxaa loo soo sheegay Daa'uud, kolkaasuu reer binu Israa'iil oo dhan soo wada ururiyey, oo intuu Webi Urdun ka soo gudbay ayuu reer Suuriya u yimid, oo ciidankiisii ayuu weerar ugu soo diyaariyey, haddaba Daa'uud markuu raggiisii u diyaariyey inay reer Suuriya la dagaallamaan ayay iyana la dirireen.

¹⁸The Syrians fled before Israel; and David killed of the Syrians the men of seven thousand chariots, and forty thousand footmen, and killed Shophach the captain of the army.

¹⁸Oo reer Suuriyana way ka carareen reer binu Israa'iil hortooda. Daa'uudna wuxuu reer Suuriya ka laayay toddoba kun oo gaadhifaras raggoodii, iyo afartan kun oo nin oo lug ah, oo wuxuu dilay Shoofag oo ahaa sirkaalkii ciidanka.Oo markii Hadarceser addoommadiisii arkeen in reer binu Israa'iil hortooda looga adkaaday ayay la nabdeen Daa'uud, wayna u adeegeen, oo reer Suuriyana way diideen inay mar dambe reer Cammoon caawiyaan.

¹⁹When the servants of Hadadezer saw that they were defeated by Israel, they made peace with David, and served him: neither would the Syrians help the children of Ammon any more.

¹⁹Oo markii Hadarceser addoommadiisii arkeen in reer binu Israa'iil hortooda looga adkaaday ayay la nabdeen Daa'uud, wayna u adeegeen, oo reer Suuriyana way diideen inay mar dambe reer Cammoon caawiyaan.
