1 N ow when David and his men came home to Ziklag on the third day, they found that the Amalekites had made a raid on the South (the Negeb) and on Ziklag, and had struck Ziklag and burned it with fire,

Oo maalintii saddexaad intaanay Daa'uud iyo raggiisii Siiqlag iman ayaa reer Camaaleq soo dhaceen xagga koonfureed, iyo Siiqlag, oo waxay weerareen Siiqlag, wayna gubeen;

2 A nd had taken the women and all who were there, both great and small, captive. They killed no one, but carried them off and went on their way.

oo waxay la tageen dumarkii iyo kuwii magaalada ku jiray oo dhan yar iyo weynba. Waxba kama ay layn, laakiinse way la tageen oo iska baxeen.

3 S o David and his men came to the town, and behold, it was burned, and their wives and sons and daughters were taken captive.

Oo Daa'uud iyo raggiisiina markay magaaladii yimaadeen, waxay arkeen iyadoo la gubay, oo naagahoodii iyo wiilashoodii iyo gabdhahoodiiba loola wada tegey maxaabiis ahaan.

4 T hen David and the men with him lifted up their voices and wept until they had no more strength to weep.

Markaasaa Daa'uud iyo dadkii la jirayba codkoodii kor u qaadeen oo ooyeen, ilaa ay waayeen itaal ay ku sii ooyaan.

5 D avid’s two wives also had been taken captive, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess and Abigail, the widow of Nabal the Carmelite.

Oo Daa'uud labadiisii naagood ee ahaa Axiinocam tii reer Yesreceel, iyo Abiigayil oo ahayd reer Karmel oo Naabaalna u dhaxdayba, waa lala tegey iyagoo maxaabiis ah.

6 D avid was greatly distressed, for the men spoke of stoning him because the souls of them all were bitterly grieved, each man for his sons and daughters. But David encouraged and strengthened himself in the Lord his God.

Oo Daa'uudna aad buu u dhibtooday, waayo, dadku waxay ku wada hadleen inay dhagxiyaan, maxaa yeelay, dadkii wuxuu u wada calool xumaaday nin waluba wiilashiisii iyo gabdhihiisii, laakiinse Daa'uud wuxuu isku sii dhiirriyey Rabbiga Ilaahiisa ah.

7 D avid said to Abiathar the priest, Ahimelech’s son, I pray you, bring me the ephod. And Abiathar brought him the ephod.

Markaasaa Daa'uud wuxuu wadaadkii ahaa Aabyaataar ina Axiimeleg ku yidhi, Waan ku baryayaaye eefodka halkan iigu keen. Aabyaataarna eefodkii buu Daa'uud u keenay.

8 A nd David inquired of the Lord, saying, Shall I pursue this troop? Shall I overtake them? The Lord answered him, Pursue, for you shall surely overtake them and without fail recover all.

Markaasaa Daa'uud Rabbiga wax weyddiiyey, oo wuxuu yidhi, Miyaan eryadaa colkan, oo miyaan gaadhayaa? Oo Rabbiguna wuxuu ugu jawaabay, Haah, eryo, waayo, hubaal waad gaadhaysaa, oo intii lala tegey oo dhan waad soo celinaysaa.

9 S o David went, he and the 600 men with him, and came to the brook Besor; there those remained who were left behind.

Sidaas daraaddeed Daa'uud wuu tegey, isagii iyo lixdii boqol oo nin ee la jirtayba, oo waxay yimaadeen durdurkii Besoor, oo intii laga tegeyna halkaasay ku hadheen.

10 B ut David pursued, he and 400 men, for 200 stayed behind who were too exhausted and faint to cross the brook Besor.

Laakiinse Daa'uud wuu eryaday, isagoo afar boqol oo nin wata; waayo, laba boqol ayaa dib u hadhay, kuwaasoo aad u daalay oo dhaafi kari waayay durdurkii Besoor.

11 T hey found an Egyptian in the field and brought him to David, and gave him bread and he ate, and water to drink,

Oo mid Masri ah ayay duurka ka heleen, oo waxay u keeneen Daa'uud, oo kibisna way siiyeen, wuuna cunay, oo biyo uu cabbona way siiyeen.

12 A nd a piece of a cake of figs and two clusters of raisins; and when he had eaten, his spirit returned to him, for he had eaten no food or drunk any water for three days and three nights.

Oo waxay kaloo siiyeen fud yar oo berde ah, iyo laba rucubood oo sabiib ah; oo markuu cunay ayaa naftii ku soo noqotay, waayo, saddex maalmood iyo saddex habeen kibisna ma uu cunin, biyona ma uu cabbin.

13 A nd David said to him, To whom do you belong? And from where have you come? He said, I am a young man of Egypt, servant to an Amalekite; and my master left me because three days ago I fell sick.

Markaasaa Daa'uud wuxuu ku yidhi, War yaa ku leh? Oo xaggee baad ka timid? Isna wuxuu yidhi, Waxaan ahay nin dhallinyar oo Masri ah, oo addoon baan u ahay mid reer Camaaleq ah. Sayidkaygii baa iga tegey, maxaa yeelay, saddex maalmood ka hor ayaan bukooday.

14 W e had made a raid on the South (Negeb) of the Cherethites and upon that which belongs to Judah and upon the South (Negeb) of Caleb. And we burned Ziklag with fire.

Oo waxaannu soo dhacnay reer Kereetiim xaggooda Koonfureed, iyo dalka ay leeyihiin reer Yahuudah, iyo xagga Koonfureed oo reer Kaaleeb; oo Siiqlagna waan gubnay.

15 A nd David said to him, Can you take me down to this band? And he said, Swear to me by God that you will neither kill me nor deliver me into the hands of my master, and I will bring you down to this band.

Markaasaa Daa'uud wuxuu ku yidhi, Colkaas ma ii geeynaysaa? Isna wuxuu yidhi, Ilaah iigu dhaaro inaadan i dilayn, sayidkaygiina ii gacangelinayn, oo anna colkaas waan kuu geeynayaa.

16 A nd when he had brought David down, behold, the raiders were spread abroad over all the land, eating and drinking and dancing because of all the great spoil they had taken from the land of the Philistines and from the land of Judah.

Oo markuu keenay waxay ku kala firidhsanaayeen dhulka oo dhan, iyagoo wax cabbaya, oo wax cunaya, oo cayaaraya, maxaa yeelay, maal badan bay ka soo dhaceen dalkii reer Falastiin iyo dalkii Yahuudahba.

17 A nd David smote them from twilight even to the evening of the next day, and not a man of them escaped, except 400 youths who rode camels and fled.

Oo Daa'uudna wuxuu laynayay iyagii fiidkii ilaa fiidkiisii kale, oo nin iyagii ahuna ma baxsan, afar boqol oo dhallinyaro ah oo intay awr fuuleen ku carartay mooyaane.

18 D avid recovered all that the Amalekites had taken and rescued his two wives.

Oo Daa'uudna wuu soo wada dhiciyey waxay reer Camaaleq la tageen oo dhan; oo labadiisii naagoodna Daa'uud waa soo badbaadiyey.

19 N othing was missing, small or great, sons or daughters, spoil or anything that had been taken; David recovered all.

Oo waxba kama maqnayn iyagii, wax yar iyo wax weyn toona, ama wiilal iyo gabdho toona, ama booli iyo wixii ay la tageen oo dhan toona; oo Daa'uudna wuu soo wada celiyey kulligood.

20 A lso David captured all the flocks and herds, and the people drove those animals before him and said, This is David’s spoil.

Markaasaa Daa'uud kaxaystay idihii iyo lo'dii oo dhan, oo waxay ku hor kexeeyeen xoolihii kale, oo yidhaahdeen, Intanu waa boolidii Daa'uud.

21 A nd David came to the 200 men who were so exhausted and faint that they could not follow and had been left at the brook Besor. They came to meet David and those with him, and when he came near to the men, he saluted them.

Oo Daa'uudna wuxuu u yimid labadii boqol oo nin oo intay daaleen Daa'uud raaci kari weyday, oo ay durdurkii Besoor agtiisa kaga tageen, oo iyana waxay u soo baxeen inay ka hor tagaan Daa'uud iyo dadkii la jiray; oo Daa'uudna markuu dadkii u soo dhowaaday ayuu nabdaadiyey.

22 T hen all the wicked and base men who went with David said, Because they did not go with us, we will give them nothing of the spoil we have recovered, except that every man may lead away his wife and children and depart.

Markaasay raggii sharka lahaa ee waxmatarayaasha ahaa oo Daa'uud raacay oo dhammuba waxay ugu jawaabeen, Maalkii aannu soo dhacsannay iyaga waxba ka siin mayno, maxaa yeelay, nama ay raacin, laakiinse nin kasta waxaannu siinaynaa naagtiisii iyo carruurtiisii, ee ha kaxaysteen oo ha iska tageen.

23 D avid said, You shall not do so, my brethren, with what the Lord has given us. He has preserved us and has delivered into our hands the troop that came against us.

Markaasaa Daa'uud wuxuu yidhi, Walaalahayow, waa inaydnaan saas ku samayn wixii Rabbigu ina siiyey, kaasoo ah kii ina badbaadiyey, oo weliba inoo soo gacangeliyey colkii ina soo weeraray.

24 W ho would listen to you in this matter? For as is the share of him who goes into the battle, so shall his share be who stays by the baggage. They shall share alike.

Haddaba bal yaa waxaa idinka maqlaya? Ka dagaalka u baxaa siduu qayb u helo ayuu ka alaabta ku hadhaana qayb u helayaa; isku si waa inay u qaybsadaan.

25 A nd from that day to this he made it a statute and ordinance for Israel.

Maalintaas intay ka bilaabanto ilaa maantadan la joogo, wuxuu taas uga dhigay reer binu Israa'iil, qaynuun iyo amar.

26 W hen David came to Ziklag, he sent part of the spoil to the elders of Judah, his friends, saying, Here is a gift for you of the spoil of the enemies of the Lord:

Oo Daa'uudna markuu Siiqlag yimid ayuu boolidii qaarkeed odayaashii dalkii Yahuudah u diray, iyo xataa saaxiibbadiis, oo wuxuu ku yidhi, Bal eega, tanu waa hadiyad ka mid ah boolidii aan cadaawayaashii Rabbiga ka soo dhacay,

27 F or those in Bethel, Ramoth of the Negeb, Jattir,

oo wuxuu u wada diray kuwii Beytel joogay, iyo kuwii Raamod tii koonfureed joogay, iyo xataa kuwii Yatiir joogay,

28 A roer, Siphmoth, Eshtemoa,

iyo kuwii Carooceer joogay, iyo kuwii Sifmood joogay, iyo kuwii Eshtemooca joogay,

29 R acal, the cities of the Jerahmeelites, the cities of the Kenites,

iyo kuwii Raakaal joogay, iyo kuwii magaalooyinka reer Yeraxme'eel joogay, iyo kuwii magaalooyinka reer Qeyn joogay,

30 H ormah, Bor-ashan, Athach,

iyo kuwii Xormaah joogay, iyo kuwii Koor Caashaan joogay, iyo kuwii Cataag joogay,

31 H ebron, and for those in all the places David and his men had habitually haunted.

iyo kuwii Xebroon joogay, oo xataa wuu u wada diray kuwii joogay meelihii Daa'uud iyo raggiisu ku noqnoqon jireen oo dhan.
