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

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

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

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.

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

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?

⁴So Hanun took David’s servants, and shaved off the one half of their beards, 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 gadhkoodii badh ka xiiray ayuu dharkoodiina dhexda ka kala gooyay xataa ilaa dabada, markaasuu iska eryay.

⁵When they told it to David, he sent to meet them; for the men were greatly ashamed. The king said, “Wait at Jericho until your beards have grown, and then return.”

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.

⁶When the children of Ammon saw that they were become odious to David, the children of Ammon sent and hired the Syrians of Beth Rehob, and the Syrians of Zobah, twenty thousand footmen, and the king of Maacah with one thousand men, and the men of Tob twelve thousand men.

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.

⁷When David heard of it, he sent Joab, and all the army of the mighty men.

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

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

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.

⁹Now 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:

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.

¹⁰The rest of the people he committed into the hand of Abishai his brother; and he put them in array against the children of Ammon.

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

¹¹He said, “If the Syrians are too strong for me, then you shall help me; but if the children of Ammon are too strong for you, then I will come and help you.

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.

¹²Be courageous, and let us be strong for our people, and for the cities of our God; and Yahweh do that which seems good to him.”

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

¹³So Joab and the people who were with him drew near to the battle against the Syrians: and they fled before him.

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

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

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.

¹⁵When the Syrians saw that they were defeated by Israel, they gathered themselves together.

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

¹⁶Hadadezer sent, and brought out the Syrians who were beyond the River: and they came to Helam, with Shobach the captain of the army of Hadadezer at their head.

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.

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

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.

¹⁸The Syrians fled before Israel; and David killed of the Syrians seven hundred charioteers, and forty thousand horsemen, and struck Shobach the captain of their army, so that he died there.

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.

¹⁹When all the kings who were servants to Hadadezer saw that they were defeated before Israel, they made peace with Israel, and served them. So the Syrians feared to help the children of Ammon any more.

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.
