1It happened, at the time of the return of the year, at the time when kings go out, that Joab led forth the army, and wasted the country of the children of Ammon, and came and besieged Rabbah. But David stayed at Jerusalem. Joab struck Rabbah, and overthrew it.
1 Waato kaŋ jiiro bare, alwaato kaŋ bonkooney doona ka fatta ka koy wongu, kaŋ Yowab na wongu marga candi i ma konda wurrandiyaŋ Amon izey laabo ra, kal i kaa ka Rabba kwaara windi nda wongu. Amma Dawda wo goro Urusalima. Yowab na Rabba kar ka zeeri.
2David took the crown of their king from off his head, and found it to weigh a talent of gold, and there were precious stones in it; and it was set on David’s head: and he brought forth the spoil of the city, exceeding much.
2 Dawda n'i bonkoono koytaray fuula kaa a boŋo gaa. I gar a tiŋa to danga kilo waytaaci cindi gu cine, wura no. A gonda taalam tondiyaŋ a gaa mo. I na fuula daŋ Dawda boŋo gaa. A fatta birno ra da wongu arzaka boobo mo, gumo-gumo.
3He brought forth the people who were therein, and cut them with saws, and with iron picks, and with axes. David did so to all the cities of the children of Ammon. David and all the people returned to Jerusalem.
3 A na borey kaŋ yaŋ go kwaara ra fattandi k'i daŋ i ma goy da garzeyaŋ, da guuru-bi zaamayaŋ, da deesiyaŋ mo. Yaadin cine no Dawda te Amon izey kwaarey kulu se. Gaa no Dawda nda jama kulu ye Urusalima.
4It happened after this, that there arose war at Gezer with the Philistines: then Sibbecai the Hushathite killed Sippai, of the sons of the giant; and they were subdued.
4 A ciya, woodin banda, tangami fo te ngey nda Filistancey game ra Gezer kwaara haray. Waato din no Sibbekay Husat boro na Sippay, Refayim boro fo kar ka wi. I na Filistancey kaynandi mo.
5There was again war with the Philistines; and Elhanan the son of Jair killed Lahmi the brother of Goliath the Gittite, the staff of whose spear was like a weaver’s beam.
5 Tangami fo ye ka te ngey nda Filistancey game ra koyne. El-Hanan Yayir ize na Lakmi, Goliyat kayne, Gat boro, kar ka wi. Bora din yaaji bundo ga hima danga kaymi bundu.
6There was again war at Gath, where there was a man of great stature, whose fingers and toes were twenty-four, six on each hand, and six on each foot; and he also was born to the giant.
6 Tangami fo ye ka te koyne Gat haray. Noodin mo boro kuuku fo go no kaŋ gonda kambayze da ce-ize margante waranka cindi taaci, danga iddu kambe kulu nda ce kulu gaa nooya. Bora din mo Refayim dumi no.
7When he defied Israel, Jonathan the son of Shimea David’s brother killed him.
7 Waato kaŋ a na donda-caray sanni salaŋ Israyla se, kala Dawda beere Simeya izo Yonata n'a kar ka wi.
8These were born to the giant in Gath; and they fell by the hand of David, and by the hand of his servants.
8 Woodin yaŋ kulu Gat kwaara Refayim dumiyaŋ no. I bu mo Dawda nda nga tamey kambe ra.
