1 D himashadii Saa'uul dabadeed, markii Daa'uud ka soo noqday layntii reer Camaaleq oo uu Daa'uud laba maalmood Siiqlag sii joogay

Now after the death of Saul, when David returned from the slaughter of the Amalekites, he had stayed two days in Ziklag,

2 a yaa xataa maalintii saddexaad nin ka yimid xeradii Saa'uul isagoo maryo jeexjeexan, madaxana ciidu kaga taal, oo markuu Daa'uud u yimid ayuu dhulka ku dhacay oo sujuuday.

When on the third day a man came from Saul’s camp with his clothes torn and dust on his head. When he came to David, he fell to the ground and did obeisance.

3 M arkaasaa Daa'uud ku yidhi, Xaggee baad ka timid? Markaasuu isna wuxuu yidhi, Waxaan ka soo baxsaday xeradii reer binu Israa'iil.

David said to him, Where have you come from? He said, I have escaped from the camp of Israel.

4 D aa'uudna wuxuu ku yidhi, Waan ku baryayaaye, sidee baa wax u dhaceen? Bal ii sheeg. Oo isna wuxuu ugu jawaabay, Dadkii dagaalkii way ka carareen, oo dadkii badidiisiina way le'deen; oo Saa'uul iyo wiilkiisii Yoonaataanba waa dhinteen.

David said to him, How did it go? Tell me. He answered, The men have fled from the battle. Many have fallen and are dead; Saul and Jonathan his son are dead also.

5 M arkaasaa Daa'uud wuxuu ku yidhi ninkii dhallinyarada ahaa, oo u soo warramay, War sidee baad u ogaatay in Saa'uul iyo wiilkiisii Yoonaataanba ay dhinteen?

David said to the young man, How do you know Saul and Jonathan his son are dead?

6 M arkaasaa ninkii dhallinyarada ahaa oo u soo warramay, wuxuu ku yidhi, Markaan si lamafilaan ah Buur Gilboca u soo gaadhay, waxaan arkay Saa'uul oo ku tiirsan warankiisii, gaadhifardoodkii iyo fardooleydiina aad bay u eryanayeen.

The young man said, By chance I happened to be on Mount Gilboa and I saw Saul leaning on his spear, and behold, the chariots and horsemen were close behind him.

7 O o markuu gadaashiisa dhugtay ayuu i arkay, oo ii yeedhay. Oo anna waxaan ugu jawaabay, Waa i kan.

When he looked behind him, he saw me and called to me. I answered, Here I am.

8 M arkaasuu igu yidhi, Yaad tahay? Oo anna waxaan ugu jawaabay, Nin reer Camaaleq ah baan ahay.

He asked me, Who are you? I answered, An Amalekite.

9 O o isna wuxuu igu yidhi, Waan ku baryayaaye, bal i soo ag joogso, oo i dil, waayo, wareer baa i haya; waayo, weli naftii waa igu jirtaa.

He said to me, Rise up against me and slay me; for terrible dizziness has come upon me, yet my life is still in me.

10 S aas aawadeed waan ag joogsaday oo waan dilay, maxaa yeelay, waan hubay markuu dhacay dabadeed inuusan noolaanayn; oo markaasaan ka soo qaaday taajkii madaxa u saarnaa, iyo dugaagaddii gacanta ugu jirtay, waanan kuu keenay, sayidkaygiiyow.

So I stood up against him and slew him, because I was sure he could not live after he had fallen. So I took the crown on his head and the bracelet on his arm and have brought them here to my lord.

11 M arkaasaa Daa'uud dharkiisii jeexjeexay; oo raggii isaga la jiray oo dhammuna saasoo kalay wada yeeleen,

Then David grasped his own clothes and tore them; so did all the men with him.

12 w ayna u baroorteen, oo u ooyeen, oo u soomeen ilaa fiidkii Saa'uul, iyo wiilkiisii Yoonaataan, iyo dadkii Rabbiga, iyo reer binu Israa'iil aawadood; maxaa yeelay, seef bay ku le'deen.

They mourned and wept for Saul and Jonathan his son, and fasted until evening for the Lord’s people and the house of Israel, because of their defeat in battle.

13 K olkaasaa Daa'uud ku yidhi ninkii dhallinyarada ahaa oo u soo warramay, Xaggee baad ka timid? Isna wuxuu ugu jawaabay, Waxaan ahay nin qalaad wiilkiis oo reer Camaaleq ah.

David said to the young man who told him, Where are you from? He answered, I am the son of a foreigner, an Amalekite.

14 D aa'uudna wuxuu ku yidhi isagii, Sidee baad uga cabsan weyday inaad gacantaada u qaaddo Rabbiga kiisa subkan?

David said to him, Why were you not afraid to stretch forth your hand to destroy the Lord’s anointed?

15 D abadeedna Daa'uud wuxuu u yeedhay raggii dhallinyarada ahaa midkood, oo ku yidhi, U dhowow oo dil. Markaasuu dilay, isna wuu dhintay.

David called one of the young men and said, Go near and fall upon him. And he smote him so that he died.

16 D aa'uudna wuxuu ku yidhi, Dhiiggaagu madaxaaga ha saarnaado; waayo, afkaagaa kugu marag furay, oo waxaad tidhi, Rabbiga kiisa subkan ayaan dilay. Daa'uud Oo U Baroortay Saa'uul Iyo Yoonaataan

David said to, Your blood be upon your own head; for you have testified against yourself, saying, I have slain the Lord’s anointed.

17 M arkaasaa Daa'uud baroortan ugu baroortay Saa'uul iyo wiilkiisii Yoonaataan,

David lamented with this lamentation over Saul and Jonathan his son,

18 o o wuxuu ku amray inay carruurta dalka Yahuudah baraan gabayga qaansada; oo bal eeg, kaasu wuxuu ku qoran yahay kitaabka Yaashaar.

And he commanded to teach it, the bow, to the Israelites. Behold, it is written in the Book of Jashar:

19 R eer binu Israa'iilow, Ammaantiinnii waxaa lagu dilay meelihiinna sarsare! Bal eega kuwa xoogga leh siday u dhaceen!

Your glory, O Israel, is slain upon your high places. How have the mighty fallen!

20 H addaba taas Gad ha ku sheegina, Oo jidadka Ashqeloonna ha ku caddaynina; Waaba intaasoo ay naagaha reer Falastiin ku farxaane, Waaba intaasoo ay buuryoqabyada naagahoodu ku guulaystaane.

Tell it not in Gath, announce it not in the streets of Ashkelon, lest the daughters of the Philistines rejoice, lest the daughters of the uncircumcised exult.

21 B uuraha Gilbocow, Dharab iyo roob midna yaan laydinku arkin, beerihii qurbaanyadu ka bixi jireenna yaanay jirin, Waayo, kuwii xoogga lahaa gaashaankoodii ayaa halkaas lagu tuuray, Xataa gaashaankii Saa'uul oo ahaa sida mid aan saliid lagu subkin.

O mountains of Gilboa, let there be no dew or rain upon you, or fields with offerings. For there the shield of the mighty was defiled, the shield of Saul, as though he were not anointed with oil.

22 K uwii la laayay dhiiggoodii, iyo kuwii xoogga lahaa xaydhoodii, Yoonaataan qaansadiisii dib ugama ay soo noqon, Oo Saa'uul seeftiisiina madhnaan kuma ay soo noqon.

From the blood of the slain, from the fat of the mighty, the bow of Jonathan turned not back, and the sword of Saul returned not empty.

23 I ntay noolaayeen Saa'uul iyo Yoonaataan waxay ahaayeen kuwo la jecel yahay, oo macaan, Markay dhinteenna, lama kala geeyn, Gorgorrada way ka dheereeyeen, Libaaxyadana way ka xoog badnaayeen.

Saul and Jonathan, beloved and lovely! In their lives and in their deaths they were not divided. They were swifter than eagles, they were stronger than lions.

24 G abdhaha reer binu Israa'iilow, Saa'uul u ooya, Kii dhar cas si raaxa leh idiin huwiyey, Oo dharkiinnana dahab ku sharraxay.

You daughters of Israel, weep over Saul, who clothed you in scarlet with delights, who put ornaments of gold upon your apparel.

25 K uwii xoogga badnaa siday dagaalka ugu dhex dhaceen! Yoonaataan waxaa lagu dilay meelihiinna sarsare.

How have the mighty fallen in the midst of the battle! Jonathan lies slain upon your high places.

26 A nigu daraaddaa baan u dhibtooday, walaalkay Yoonaataanow; Adigu aad baad iigu macaanayd, Oo jacaylkaad ii qabtay wuxuu ahaa mid yaab leh, Oo xataa caashaqa naagaha dhaafaya.

I am distressed for you, my brother Jonathan; very pleasant have you been to me. Your love to me was wonderful, passing the love of women.

27 B al eeg kuwii xoogga badnaa siday u dhaceen, Hubkii dagaalkuna siduu u hallaabay!

How have the mighty fallen, and the weapons of war perished!
