¹Saul reigned a year; and when he had reigned two years over Israel,

¹Saa'uul markuu reer binu Israa'iil boqorka u noqday wuxuu jiray soddon sannadood, oo wuxuu reer binu Israa'iil xukumayay laba sannadood.

²Saul chose for himself three thousand men of Israel, of which two thousand were with Saul in Michmash and in the Mount of Bethel, and one thousand were with Jonathan in Gibeah of Benjamin: and the rest of the people he sent every man to his tent.

²Markaasaa Saa'uul wuxuu reer binu Israa'iil ka dhex doortay saddex kun oo nin; oo laba kun waxay Saa'uul la joogeen Mikmaash iyo buurtii Beytel, oo kunna wuxuu Yoonaataan la joogay Gibecaahdii reer Benyaamiin; oo dadka intiisii kalena nin walba wuxuu u diray inuu teendhadiisii tago.

³Jonathan struck the garrison of the Philistines that was in Geba: and the Philistines heard of it. Saul blew the trumpet throughout all the land, saying, “Let the Hebrews hear!”

³Oo Yoonaataan wuxuu ku dhuftay xeradii ciidankii reer Falastiin oo Gebac joogay, oo reer Falastiinna taas way maqleen. Oo Saa'uulna dalkii oo dhan buu buun ugu dhuftay oo yidhi, Cibraaniyadu ha maqleen.

⁴All Israel heard that Saul had struck the garrison of the Philistines, and also that Israel was had in abomination with the Philistines. The people were gathered together after Saul to Gilgal.

⁴Oo reer binu Israa'iil oo dhammu waxay maqleen in Saa'uul wax ku dhuftay xeradii ciidanka reer Falastiin, iyo weliba in reer Falastiin ay karheen reer binu Israa'iil. Oo dadkiina dhammaantood waxay Saa'uul ugu soo urureen Gilgaal.

⁵The Philistines assembled themselves together to fight with Israel, thirty thousand chariots, and six thousand horsemen, and people as the sand which is on the seashore in multitude: and they came up, and encamped in Michmash, eastward of Beth Aven.

⁵Oo reer Falastiinna waxay isu soo urursadeen inay reer binu Israa'iil la diriraan, oo waxayna ahaayeen soddon kun oo gaadhifardood, iyo lix kun oo fardooley ah, iyo dad ah sida cammuudda taal badda xeebteeda. Oo intay soo dhowaadeen ayay degeen Mikmaash, oo bari ka xigta Beytaawen.

⁶When the men of Israel saw that they were in a strait (for the people were distressed), then the people hid themselves in caves, and in thickets, and in rocks, and in coverts, and in pits.

⁶Oo dadkii reer binu Israa'iilna markay arkeen inay cidhiidhi ku jiraan, (waayo, dadku way dhibaataysnaayeen) markaasaa dadkii waxay ku dhuunteen godad, iyo kayn, iyo dhagaxyo dhexdooda, iyo boholo, iyo hogag.

⁷Now some of the Hebrews had gone over the Jordan to the land of Gad and Gilead; but as for Saul, he was yet in Gilgal, and all the people followed him trembling.

⁷Oo haddaba Cibraaniyadii qaarkood waxay ka gudbeen Webi Urdun oo tageen ilaa dalkii reer Gaad iyo Gilecaad; laakiinse Saa'uul weli wuxuu iska joogay Gilgaal, oo dadkii oo dhammuna isagay daba galeen iyagoo gariiraya.

⁸He stayed seven days, according to the time set by Samuel: but Samuel didn’t come to Gilgal; and the people were scattered from him.

⁸Oo toddoba maalmood buu sugayay, sidii wakhtigii Samuu'eel u qabtay uu ahaa, laakiinse Samuu'eel ma iman Gilgaal, oo dadkiina way ka kala firdheen Saa'uul.

⁹Saul said, “Bring here the burnt offering to me, and the peace offerings.” He offered the burnt offering.

⁹Markaasaa Saa'uul wuxuu yidhi, Halkan iigu keena qurbaanka la gubo, iyo qurbaannada nabaadiinadaba. Markaasuu bixiyey qurbaankii la gubayay.

¹⁰It came to pass that as soon as he had made an end of offering the burnt offering, behold, Samuel came; and Saul went out to meet him, that he might greet him.

¹⁰Oo markuu dhammeeyey bixintii uu bixinayay allabariga la gubo, waxaa yimid Samuu'eel; markaasaa Saa'uul u baxay inuu ka hor tago oo soo salaamo.

¹¹Samuel said, “What have you done?” Saul said, “Because I saw that the people were scattered from me, and that you didn’t come within the days appointed, and that the Philistines assembled themselves together at Michmash;

¹¹Markaasaa Samuu'eel wuxuu ku yidhi, War maxaad samaysay? Oo Saa'uulna wuxuu yidhi, Maxaa yeelay, waxaan arkay in dadkii iga kala firdhay, iyo inaad adiguna ku iman weyday maalmihii aan ku ballannay, iyo in reer Falastiinna dhammaantood isku soo urursadeen Mikmaash agteeda;

¹²therefore I said, ‘Now the Philistines will come down on me to Gilgal, and I haven’t entreated the favor of Yahweh.’ I forced myself therefore, and offered the burnt offering.”

¹²sidaas daraaddeed waxaan is-idhi, Haatan reer Falastiin waxay igu soo weerari doonaan Gilgaal, anigoo aan Rabbiga raallinimo ka baryin. Taas aawadeed ayaan isugu qasbay oo waan bixiyey allabariga la gubo.

¹³Samuel said to Saul, “You have done foolishly. You have not kept the commandment of Yahweh your God, which he commanded you; for now Yahweh would have established your kingdom on Israel forever.

¹³Markaasaa Samuu'eel wuxuu Saa'uul ku yidhi, Nacasnimo baad samaysay oo amarkii Rabbiga Ilaahaaga ahu kugu amray ma aad xajin. Haatan Rabbigu boqortooyadaaduu ku adkayn lahaa reer binu Israa'iil weligeedba.

¹⁴But now your kingdom shall not continue. Yahweh has sought for himself a man after his own heart, and Yahweh has appointed him to be prince over his people, because you have not kept that which Yahweh commanded you.”

¹⁴Laakiinse imminka boqortooyadaadu sii jiri mayso. Rabbigu wuxuu doontay nin ah siduu qalbigiisu doonayo, oo Rabbiguna isaguu u doortay inuu ahaado amiir dadkiisa u taliya, maxaa yeelay, adigu ma aadan xajin wixii Rabbigu kugu amray.

¹⁵Samuel arose, and went from Gilgal to Gibeah of Benjamin. Saul numbered the people who were present with him, about six hundred men.

¹⁵Markaasaa Samuu'eel kacay, wuuna ka baxay Gilgaal, oo xagga Gibecaahda reer Benyaamiin buu tegey. Oo Saa'uulna markaasuu tiriyey dadkii isaga la jiray, oo waxay noqdeen in ku dhow lix boqol oo nin.

¹⁶Saul, and Jonathan his son, and the people who were present with them, stayed in Geba of Benjamin: but the Philistines encamped in Michmash.

¹⁶Kolkaasaa Saa'uul iyo wiilkiisii Yoonaataan, iyo dadkii iyaga la jirayba waxay iska joogeen Gebacdii reer Benyaamiin, laakiinse reer Falastiin waxay degganaayeen Mikmaash.

¹⁷The spoilers came out of the camp of the Philistines in three companies: one company turned to the way that leads to Ophrah, to the land of Shual;

¹⁷Markaasaa xeradii reer Falastiin waxaa ka soo baxay kuwo wax dhaca oo saddex guuto ah, oo guuto waxay u leexatay xagga waddada Cofraah iyo xagga dalka reer Shuucaal;

¹⁸and another company turned the way to Beth Horon; and another company turned the way of the border that looks down on the valley of Zeboim toward the wilderness.

¹⁸oo guuto kalena waxay u leexatay xagga waddada Beytxooroon, oo guutadii hadhayna waxay u leexatay xagga waddada soohdinta kor ka soo dhawrta dooxada Seboyim iyo xagga cidlada.

¹⁹Now there was no smith found throughout all the land of Israel; for the Philistines said, “Lest the Hebrews make them swords or spears”;

¹⁹Haddaba tumaal laguma arag dalka reer binu Israa'iil oo dhan; waayo, reer Falastiin waxay isyidhaahdeen, Cibraaniyadu yaanay samaysan seefo iyo warmo.

²⁰but all the Israelites went down to the Philistines, to sharpen every man his plowshare, mattock, axe, and sickle;

²⁰Laakiinse reer binu Israa'iil oo dhammu waxay xagga reer Falastiin u tageen in nin waluba soo afaysto marashidiisii, iyo manjadiisii, iyo faaskiisii, iyo sabaraddiisii;

²¹yet they had a file for the mattocks, and for the plowshares, and for the forks, and for the axes, and to set the goads.

²¹oo weliba waxay lahaayeen wax lagu soofeeyo sabaradaha, iyo manjooyinka, iyo faraleyada, iyo faasaska, iyo inay hagaajiyaan takiyadaba.

²²So it came to pass in the day of battle, that there was neither sword nor spear found in the hand of any of the people who were with Saul and Jonathan: but with Saul and with Jonathan his son was there found.

²²Sidaas daraaddeed maalintii dagaalka dadkii la jiray Saa'uul iyo wiilkiisii Yoonaataanba midkoodna gacantiisa lagama helin seef iyo waran toona, Saa'uul iyo wiilkiisii Yoonaataan mooyaane.Oo ciidankii reer Falastiinna waxay u soo baxeen marinkii Mikmaash.

²³The garrison of the Philistines went out to the pass of Michmash.

²³Oo ciidankii reer Falastiinna waxay u soo baxeen marinkii Mikmaash.
