¹There was a famine in the days of David three years, year after year; and David sought the face of Yahweh. Yahweh said, “It is for Saul, and for his bloody house, because he put to death the Gibeonites.”

¹Oo wakhtigii Daa'uud abaar baa dhacday intii saddex sannadood ah, oo sannadba sannadda ka dambayso, markaasaa Daa'uud Rabbiga baryay. Rabbiguna wuxuu yidhi, Tanu waxay ku timid Saa'uul iyo reerkiisa dhiigga qaba, maxaa yeelay, wuxuu laayay reer Gibecoon.

²The king called the Gibeonites, and said to them (now the Gibeonites were not of the children of Israel, but of the remnant of the Amorites; and the children of Israel had sworn to them: and Saul sought to kill them in his zeal for the children of Israel and Judah);

²Markaasaa boqorkii reer Gibecoon u yeedhay, oo ku yidhi; (haddaba reer Gibecoon ma ay ahayn reer binu Israa'iil, laakiinse waxay ahaayeen dad ka hadhay reer Amor; oo reer binu Israa'iilna way u dhaarteen iyaga; oo Saa'uul baa wuxuu damcay inuu laayo iyaga qiiradii uu u qabay reer binu Israa'iil iyo reer Yahuudah aawadeed;)

³and David said to the Gibeonites, “What shall I do for you? And with what shall I make atonement, that you may bless the inheritance of Yahweh?”

³oo Daa'uud wuxuu reer Gibecoon ku yidhi, War maxaan idiin sameeyaa? Oo maxaan kafaaraggud u bixiyaa si aad dhaxalka Rabbiga ugu ducaysaan?

⁴The Gibeonites said to him, “It is no matter of silver or gold between us and Saul, or his house; neither is it for us to put any man to death in Israel.” He said, “Whatever you say, that will I do for you.”

⁴Oo reer Gibecoonna waxay ku yidhaahdeen, Annaga iyo Saa'uul, iyo reerkiisa waxa na dhex yaallaa ma aha xaal ku eg lacag iyo dahab; oo annana dooni mayno inaannu reer binu Israa'iil nin ka dilno. Markaasuu ku yidhi, Haddaba wixii aad tidhaahdaan waan idiin samaynayaa.

⁵They said to the king, “The man who consumed us, and who devised against us, that we should be destroyed from remaining in any of the borders of Israel,

⁵Iyana waxay boqorkii ku yidhaahdeen, Ninkii na baabbi'iyey, oo ku fikiray in nala laayo, oo aannan dhex degganaan waddanka reer binu Israa'iil oo dhan,

⁶let seven men of his sons be delivered to us, and we will hang them up to Yahweh in Gibeah of Saul, the chosen of Yahweh.” The king said, “I will give them.”

⁶ha naloo keeno toddoba nin oo wiilashiisii ah, oo Rabbiga ayaannu ugu deldelaynaa Gibecaahdii Saa'uul, kii Rabbigu doortay.

⁷But the king spared Mephibosheth, the son of Jonathan the son of Saul, because of Yahweh’s oath that was between them, between David and Jonathan the son of Saul.

⁷Laakiinse boqorkii wuu badbaadiyey Mefiiboshed, oo ahaa ina Yoonaataan ina Saa'uul, maxaa yeelay, dhaartii Rabbiga ayaa u dhexaysay Daa'uud iyo Yoonaataan ina Saa'uul.

⁸But the king took the two sons of Rizpah the daughter of Aiah, whom she bore to Saul, Armoni and Mephibosheth; and the five sons of Michal the daughter of Saul, whom she bore to Adriel the son of Barzillai the Meholathite.

⁸Laakiinse boqorkii wuxuu soo qabtay labadii wiil ee Risfaah ina Ayah, oo ay u dhashay Saa'uul, kuwaas oo ahaa Armonii iyo Mefiiboshed, iyo shantii wiil ee Miikaal ina Saa'uul, oo ay u dhashay Cadrii'eel ina Barsillay kii reer Mexolaad;

⁹He delivered them into the hands of the Gibeonites, and they hanged them in the mountain before Yahweh, and all seven of them fell together. They were put to death in the days of harvest, in the first days, at the beginning of barley harvest.

⁹oo wuxuu u gacangeliyey reer Gibecoon, oo buurtay ku deldeleen Rabbiga hortiisa, oo toddobadoodiiba way wada dhinteen; oo waxaana la dilay xilligii beergooyska maalmaha ugu horreeya, marka shaciirka la gooyo.

¹⁰Rizpah the daughter of Aiah took sackcloth, and spread it for her on the rock, from the beginning of harvest until water was poured on them from the sky. She allowed neither the birds of the sky to rest on them by day, nor the animals of the field by night.

¹⁰Markaasaa Risfaah oo ahayd ina Ayah ayaa soo qaadatay dhar joonyad ah oo waxay ku goglatay dhagaxa, halkaasna waxay joogtay wakhtigii beergooyska iyo ilaa roob cirka ka soo daatay; oo maalintiina uma ay oggolaan in haadka hawadu ku dego, habeenkiina waxay ka dhawri jirtay dugaagga duurka.

¹¹It was told David what Rizpah the daughter of Aiah, the concubine of Saul, had done.

¹¹Oo waxaa Daa'uud loo soo sheegay wixii ay samaysay Risfaah ina Ayah oo ahayd Saa'uul naagtiisii addoonta ahayd.

¹²David went and took the bones of Saul and the bones of Jonathan his son from the men of Jabesh Gilead, who had stolen them from the street of Beth Shan, where the Philistines had hanged them, in the day that the Philistines killed Saul in Gilboa;

¹²Oo Daa'uud intuu tegey ayuu lafihii Saa'uul iyo lafihii wiilkiisii Yoonaataan ka soo qaaday dadkii reer Yaabeesh Gilecaad oo ka xaday jidkii Beytshaan, kaasoo ah meeshii ay reer Falastiin ku deldeleen iyaga, maalintii ay reer Falastiin Saa'uul ku dileen Gilboca,

¹³and he brought up from there the bones of Saul and the bones of Jonathan his son: and they gathered the bones of those who were hanged.

¹³oo halkaasuu ka soo qaaday lafihii Saa'uul iyo lafihii wiilkiisii Yoonaataan; oo waxaa la soo ururiyey kuwii la deldelay lafahoodii.

¹⁴They buried the bones of Saul and Jonathan his son in the country of Benjamin in Zela, in the tomb of Kish his father: and they performed all that the king commanded. After that God was entreated for the land.

¹⁴Oo lafihii Saa'uul iyo lafihii wiilkiisii Yoonaataan waxaa lagu aasay dalka reer Benyaamiin meel ku taal oo la yidhaahdo Seelac, oo waxaa la geliyey qabrigii aabbihiis Qiish; oo waxaa la sameeyey kulli wixii boqorku ku amray oo dhan. Oo taas dabadeedna Ilaah baa dalkii loo baryay.

¹⁵The Philistines had war again with Israel; and David went down, and his servants with him, and fought against the Philistines. David grew faint;

¹⁵Oo haddana reer Falastiin waxay la dirireen reer binu Israa'iil, markaasaa Daa'uud dhaadhacay isaga iyo addoommadiisii la socdayba, oo waxay la dirireen reer Falastiin; laakiinse Daa'uud wuu taag gabay.

¹⁶and Ishbibenob, who was of the sons of the giant, the weight of whose spear was three hundred shekels of brass in weight, he being armed with a new sword, thought to have slain David.

¹⁶Oo Yiishbii Benob, oo ka mid ahaa wiilashii Rafaa, oo miisaanka warankiisu ahaa saddex boqol oo sheqel oo naxaas ah, oo seef cusubuna dhexday ugu xidhnayd, ayaa damcay inuu Daa'uud dilo.

¹⁷But Abishai the son of Zeruiah helped him, and struck the Philistine, and killed him. Then the men of David swore to him, saying, “You shall go no more out with us to battle, that you don’t quench the lamp of Israel.”

¹⁷Laakiinse Daa'uud waxaa caawiyey Abiishay oo ay Seruuyaah dhashay, oo intuu kii reer Falastiin wax ku dhuftay ayuu dilay. Markaasaa Daa'uud raggiisii dhaar u mareen, oo ku yidhaahdeen, Adigu mar dambe dagaal noola bixi maysid, yaadan laambadda reer binu Israa'iil bakhtiine.

¹⁸It came to pass after this, that there was again war with the Philistines at Gob: then Sibbecai the Hushathite killed Saph, who was of the sons of the giant.

¹⁸Oo taas dabadeed waxay noqotay in reer Falastiin haddana Goob lagula diriray, oo Sibbekay oo reer Xushaad ahaa wuxuu dilay Saf oo ahaa mid ka mid ah wiilashii Rafaa.

¹⁹There was again war with the Philistines at Gob; and Elhanan the son of Jaareoregim the Bethlehemite killed Goliath the Gittite’s brother, the staff of whose spear was like a weaver’s beam.

¹⁹Oo haddana reer Falastiin waxaa lagula diriray Goob; oo Elxaanaan ina Yacaray Oregiim oo reer Beytlaxam ahaa wuxuu dilay Goli'ad oo reer Gad ahaa, oo samayda warankiisuna waxay le'ekayd dharsameeyaha looxiisa.

²⁰There was again war at Gath, where there was a man of great stature, who had on every hand six fingers, and on every foot six toes, four and twenty in number; and he also was born to the giant.

²⁰Oo haddana waxaa dagaal ka dhacay Gad, halkaasna waxaa joogay nin aad u dheer, oo gacmahana mid kasta wuxuu ku lahaa lix farood, cagahana mid kasta wuxuu ku lahaa lix farood, oo farihiisuna kulligood waxay ahaayeen afar iyo labaatan, oo isna wuxuu u dhashay Rafaa.

²¹When he defied Israel, Jonathan the son of Shimei, David’s brother, killed him.

²¹Oo markuu reer binu Israa'iil caayay, waxaa isagii dilay Yoonaataan oo uu Daa'uud walaalkiisii Shimcii ahaa dhalay.Afartaasu waxay Rafaa ugu dhasheen Gad; oo waxay ku dhinteen Daa'uud gacantiisii, iyo gacantii addoommadiisa.

²²These four were born to the giant in Gath; and they fell by the hand of David, and by the hand of his servants.

²²Afartaasu waxay Rafaa ugu dhasheen Gad; oo waxay ku dhinteen Daa'uud gacantiisii, iyo gacantii addoommadiisa.
