1 H addaba reer Falastiin waxay soo wada ururiyeen ciidammadoodii oo dagaal isu diyaariyey, oo waxay dhammaantood ku soo wada urureen Sokoh, oo ay reer Yahuudah leeyihiin, oo waxay soo degeen Efes Dammiim oo u dhexaysa Sokoh iyo Caseeqaah.

Now the Philistines gathered together their armies to battle, and were gathered together at Shochoh, which belongeth to Judah, and pitched between Shochoh and Azekah, in Ephes-dammim.

2 M arkaasay Saa'uul iyo raggii reer binu Israa'iilna isa soo wada urursadeen, oo waxay soo degeen dooxada Eelaah, oo isu diyaariyeen inay la dagaallamaan reer Falastiin.

And Saul and the men of Israel were gathered together, and pitched by the valley of Elah, and set the battle in array against the Philistines.

3 O o reer Falastiin waxay soo istaageen buur dhinac ah, reer binu Israa'iilna waxay soo istaageen buur dhinacii kale ah; oo waxaana labada qolo u dhexaysay dooxo.

And the Philistines stood on a mountain on the one side, and Israel stood on a mountain on the other side: and there was a valley between them.

4 O o waxaa xeradii reer Falastiin ka soo baxay nin tiirri ah oo magiciisa la yidhaahdo Goli'ad, oo reer Gad ah oo dhererkiisuna wuxuu ahaa lix dhudhun iyo taako.

And there went out a champion out of the camp of the Philistines, named Goliath, of Gath, whose height was six cubits and a span.

5 O o waxaa madaxiisa u saarnaa koofiyad naxaas ah, dhar bir ahna wuu huwanaa, oo dharka miisaankiisuna wuxuu ahaa shan kun oo sheqel oo naxaas ah.

And he had an helmet of brass upon his head, and he was armed with a coat of mail; and the weight of the coat was five thousand shekels of brass.

6 O o lugahana waxaa ugu xidhnaa naxaas, garbaha dhexdoodana naxaas kale.

And he had greaves of brass upon his legs, and a target of brass between his shoulders.

7 O o samayda warankiisuna waxay le'ekayd dharsameeyaha looxiisa, oo miisaanka afka warankiisuna wuxuu ahaa lix boqol oo sheqel oo bir ah; oo waxaana hor socday gaashaansidihiisii.

And the staff of his spear was like a weaver’s beam; and his spear’s head weighed six hundred shekels of iron: and one bearing a shield went before him.

8 O o intuu soo istaagay ayuu ku qayliyey ciidammadii reer binu Israa'iil, oo ku yidhi, War maxaad ugu soo baxdeen oo aad dagaal isugu soo diyaariseen? Sow anigu ma ihi reer Falastiin, idinna ma ihidin addoommadii Saa'uul? Haddaba nin iska soo doorta, oo isna ha ii soo dhaadhaco.

And he stood and cried unto the armies of Israel, and said unto them, Why are ye come out to set your battle in array? am not I a Philistine, and ye servants to Saul? choose you a man for you, and let him come down to me.

9 O o hadduu awoodo inuu ila diriro oo i dilo, markaas waxaan idiin noqonaynaa addoommadiinnii; laakiinse haddaan ka adkaado oo dilo isaga, markaas waxaad noo noqonaysaan addoommo oo waad noo adeegaysaan.

If he be able to fight with me, and to kill me, then will we be your servants: but if I prevail against him, and kill him, then shall ye be our servants, and serve us.

10 O o kii reer Falastiin wuxuu yidhi, Ciidammada reer binu Israa'iilow, car, maanta ii soo dira nin ila dirira.

And the Philistine said, I defy the armies of Israel this day; give me a man, that we may fight together.

11 O o Saa'uul iyo reer binu Israa'iil oo dhammu markay maqleen erayadii reer Falastiin way nexeen, aad bayna u cabsadeen.

When Saul and all Israel heard those words of the Philistine, they were dismayed, and greatly afraid.

12 H addaba Daa'uud wuxuu ahaa wiil uu dhalay nin reer Efraad ah oo deggan Beytlaxamta reer Yahuudah, oo magiciisana la yidhaahdo Yesay; oo isna wuxuu lahaa siddeed wiil; oo ninkaasuna wuxuu ahaa nin duq ah oo joogay wakhtigii Saa'uul, oo dadkana aad buu ugu dhex gaboobay.

Now David was the son of that Ephrathite of Beth-lehem-judah, whose name was Jesse; and he had eight sons: and the man went among men for an old man in the days of Saul.

13 O o Yesay saddexdiisii wiil oo waaweynayd waxay Saa'uul u raaceen xagga dagaalka; oo saddexdiisii wiil oo dagaalka tagtay magacyadoodii waxay ahaayeen Elii'aab kii curadka ahaa, iyo Abiinaadaab oo ku xigay, iyo kan saddexaad oo Shammaah ahaa.

And the three eldest sons of Jesse went and followed Saul to the battle: and the names of his three sons that went to the battle were Eliab the firstborn, and next unto him Abinadab, and the third Shammah.

14 O o Daa'uudna wuxuu ahaa kii ugu yaraa; saddexdii ugu waaweynaydna waxay raaceen Saa'uul.

And David was the youngest: and the three eldest followed Saul.

15 D aa'uudna hadba Saa'uul wuu ka tegi jiray, wuuna ku soo noqon jiray, inuu idaha aabbihiis Beytlaxam ku daajiyo aawadeed.

But David went and returned from Saul to feed his father’s sheep at Beth-lehem.

16 O o kii reer Falastiinna wuu soo dhowaan jiray subax iyo fiidba, oo wuxuu ismuujiyey afartan maalmood.

And the Philistine drew near morning and evening, and presented himself forty days.

17 M arkaasaa Yesay wuxuu wiilkiisii Daa'uud ku yidhi, Waxaad walaalahaa u qaaddaa eefaah hadhuudhkan duban ah, iyo tobankan xabbadood ee kibista ah, oo haddiiba xeradii u qaad oo walaalahaa u gee,

And Jesse said unto David his son, Take now for thy brethren an ephah of this parched corn, and these ten loaves, and run to the camp to thy brethren;

18 o o tobankan xabbadood ee burcadka ahna waxaad u geeysaa kun-u-taliyahooda, oo soo eeg sida walaalahaa xaalkoodu yahay, warkooda oo xaqiiqa ahna ii keen.

and carry these ten cheeses unto the captain of their thousand, and look how thy brethren fare, and take their pledge.

19 H addaba Saa'uul, iyo iyagii, iyo raggii reer binu Israa'iil oo dhammu, waxay joogeen dooxadii Eelaah, iyagoo reer Falastiin la diriraya.

Now Saul, and they, and all the men of Israel, were in the valley of Elah, fighting with the Philistines.

20 M arkaasaa Daa'uud aroor hore kacay, oo wuxuu idihii kaga tegey mid dhawra; dabadeedna intuu tegey ayuu qaaday wixii Yesay ku amray. Markaasuu yimid meeshii gaadhifardoodku tubnaa, intii ciidankii goobta dagaalka u baxayay ay dirirta u qaylinayeen.

And David rose up early in the morning, and left the sheep with a keeper, and took, and went, as Jesse had commanded him; and he came to the trench, as the host was going forth to the fight, and shouted for the battle.

21 O o reer binu Israa'iil iyo reer Falastiin dagaal bay isugu soo diyaariyeen, iyadoo ciidanba ciidanka kale ka gees yahay.

For Israel and the Philistines had put the battle in array, army against army.

22 O o Daa'uud wuxuu alaabtiisii kaga tegey kii alaabta dhawrayay gacantiisii, wuuna ku orday ciidankii, oo intuu walaalihiis u tegey ayuu salaamay.

And David left his carriage in the hand of the keeper of the carriage, and ran into the army, and came and saluted his brethren.

23 O o intuu walaalihiis la hadlayay, bal eeg, waxaa soo baxay tiirrigii reer Falastiin ee Gad ka yimid, ee magiciisa Goli'ad la odhan jiray, isagoo ka soo dhex baxay safafkii reer Falastiin, oo wuxuu ku hadlay erayadiisii hore oo kale; Daa'uudna taas wuu maqlay.

And as he talked with them, behold, there came up the champion, the Philistine of Gath, Goliath by name, out of the armies of the Philistines, and spake according to the same words: and David heard them.

24 O o raggii reer binu Israa'iil oo dhammu markii ay ninkii arkeen ayay ka carareen, aad bayna uga cabsadeen.

And all the men of Israel, when they saw the man, fled from him, and were sore afraid.

25 O o raggii reer binu Israa'iilna waxay yidhaahdeen, War ma aragteen ninkan soo baxay? Hubaal wuxuu u soo baxay inuu reer binu Israa'iil careeyo; oo waxay noqon doontaa in ninkii isaga dila uu boqorku taajir ka dhigi doono oo maal badan siin doono; gabadhiisuuna siin doonaa, oo reerka aabbihiisna ku dhex xorayn doonaa reer binu Israa'iil.

And the men of Israel said, Have ye seen this man that is come up? surely to defy Israel is he come up: and it shall be, that the man who killeth him, the king will enrich him with great riches, and will give him his daughter, and make his father’s house free in Israel.

26 M arkaasaa Daa'uud raggii dhinaciisa taagnaa la hadlay, oo ku yidhi, Ninkii dila midkan reer Falastiin, oo ceebta ka qaada reer binu Israa'iil, maxaa lagu samayn doonaa? Oo bal yuu yahay buuryoqabkan reer Falastiin ee Ilaaha nool ciidammadiisa caraysan karaa?

And David spake to the men that stood by him, saying, What shall be done to the man that killeth this Philistine, and taketh away the reproach from Israel? for who is this uncircumcised Philistine, that he should defy the armies of the living God?

27 O o dadkiina waxay ugu jawaabeen, oo ku yidhaahdeen, Sidan baa lagu samayn doonaa ninkii dila.

And the people answered him after this manner, saying, So shall it be done to the man that killeth him.

28 O o markuu ragga la hadlayay Elii'aab oo ahaa walaalkiisii ugu weynaa ayaa maqlay, oo Elii'aabna aad buu ugu cadhooday Daa'uud oo wuxuu ku yidhi, War maxaad u soo dhaadhacday? Oo bal yaad uga soo kacday xayntii idaha ahayd oo cidlada joogtay? Anigu waan aqaan kibirkaaga, iyo xumaanta qalbigaaga ku jirta, waayo, waxaad u timid inaad dagaalka fiirsato.

And Eliab his eldest brother heard when he spake unto the men; and Eliab’s anger was kindled against David, and he said, Why camest thou down hither? and with whom hast thou left those few sheep in the wilderness? I know thy pride, and the naughtiness of thine heart; for thou art come down that thou mightest see the battle.

29 M arkaasaa Daa'uud ku yidhi, Bal maxaan haatan sameeyey? Sow hadal uun ma aha?

And David said, What have I now done? Is there not a cause?

30 M arkaasuu isagii uga jeestay mid kale, oo sidii oo kaluu kula hadlay; oo dadkiina sidii hore oo kalay ugu jawaabeen.

And he turned from him toward another, and spake after the same manner: and the people answered him again after the former manner.

31 O o erayadii Daa'uud ku hadlay markii la maqlay ayaa Saa'uul loo warramay, oo isna wuu u soo cid diray.

And when the words were heard which David spake, they rehearsed them before Saul: and he sent for him.

32 O o Daa'uudna wuxuu Saa'uul ku yidhi, Ninna yuusan u cabsan isaga aawadiis; anoo addoonkaaga ah ayaan u tegi doonaa oo la diriri doonaa midkan reer Falastiin.

And David said to Saul, Let no man’s heart fail because of him; thy servant will go and fight with this Philistine.

33 O o Saa'uulna wuxuu Daa'uud ku yidhi, Adigu ma awoodid inaad la dirirto midkan reer Falastiin, waayo, waxaad tahay wiil yar, isna dagaalyahan buu ahaa tan iyo yaraantiisii.

And Saul said to David, Thou art not able to go against this Philistine to fight with him: for thou art but a youth, and he a man of war from his youth.

34 O o Daa'uudna wuxuu Saa'uul ku yidhi, Anoo addoonkaaga ah waxaan hayn jiray idaha aabbahay, oo haddii libaax ama orso yimaado, oo idaha nayl yar ka qaato,

And David said unto Saul, Thy servant kept his father’s sheep, and there came a lion, and a bear, and took a lamb out of the flock:

35 w aan ka daba ordi jiray, oo intaan wax ku dhufto ayaan afkiisa ka soo bixin jiray; oo hadduu igu soo boodana intaan gadhka ku dhego ayaan dili jiray.

and I went out after him, and smote him, and delivered it out of his mouth: and when he arose against me, I caught him by his beard, and smote him, and slew him.

36 A noo addoonkaaga ah libaaxii iyo orsadiiba waan dilay; oo midkan reer Falastiin oo buuryoqabka ahuna iyagoo kaluu noqon doonaa, waayo, wuxuu careeyey ciidammadii Ilaaha nool.

Thy servant slew both the lion and the bear: and this uncircumcised Philistine shall be as one of them, seeing he hath defied the armies of the living God.

37 O o Daa'uud wuxuu haddana yidhi, Rabbiga iga samatabbixiyey ciddiyihii libaaxa iyo ciddiyihii orsada ayaa haddana iga samatabbixin doona gacanta midkan reer Falastiin. Markaasaa Saa'uul wuxuu Daa'uud ku yidhi, Tag, Rabbigu ha kula jiree.

David said moreover, The Lord that delivered me out of the paw of the lion, and out of the paw of the bear, he will deliver me out of the hand of this Philistine. And Saul said unto David, Go, and the Lord be with thee.

38 M arkaasaa Saa'uul Daa'uud u xidhay dharkiisii, oo madaxiisana u saaray koofiyad naxaas ah, oo wuxuu kaloo huwiyey dhar bir ah.

And Saul armed David with his armour, and he put an helmet of brass upon his head; also he armed him with a coat of mail.

39 O o Daa'uudna seeftii buu ku kor xidhay dharkiisii, oo wuxuu isku dayay inuu socdo, waayo, ma uu tijaabin. Markaasaa Daa'uud wuxuu Saa'uul ku yidhi, Kuwan kuma socon karo; waayo, ma aanan tijaabin. Markaasaa Daa'uud iska dhigay.

And David girded his sword upon his armour, and he assayed to go; for he had not proved it. And David said unto Saul, I cannot go with these; for I have not proved them. And David put them off him.

40 W uxuuse gacanta ku qaatay ushiisii, oo biyo mareenkuu ka sii doortay shan dhagax oo siman, oo wuxuu ku ritay kolaygii adhijirka ee uu haystay, kaasoo ahaa qandigiisii, oo wadhafkiisiina gacantuu ugu jiray; markaasuu u soo dhowaaday ninkii reer Falastiin.

And he took his staff in his hand, and chose him five smooth stones out of the brook, and put them in a shepherd’s bag which he had, even in a scrip; and his sling was in his hand: and he drew near to the Philistine.

41 O o ninkii reer Falastiinna Daa'uud buu u soo dhowaaday; ninkii gaashaanka u sidayna wuu hor socday.

And the Philistine came on and drew near unto David; and the man that bare the shield went before him.

42 O o markii kii reer Falastiin wax fiiriyey, wuxuu arkay Daa'uud, wuuna quudhsaday; waayo, wuxuu ahaa wiil yar uun, oo cas, oo soojeed qurxoon.

And when the Philistine looked about, and saw David, he disdained him: for he was but a youth, and ruddy, and of a fair countenance.

43 M arkaasaa kii reer Falastiin wuxuu Daa'uud ku yidhi, War anigu ma eey baan ahay waadiga ulo ii soo qaataye? Oo kii reer Falastiin Daa'uud buu ku habaaray magacyadii ilaahyadiisii.

And the Philistine said unto David, Am I a dog, that thou comest to me with staves? And the Philistine cursed David by his gods.

44 K ii reer Falastiinna wuxuu Daa'uud ku yidhi, Ii kaalay oo hilibkaagaan siin doonaa haadka hawada iyo dugaagga duurka.

And the Philistine said to David, Come to me, and I will give thy flesh unto the fowls of the air, and to the beasts of the field.

45 M arkaasuu Daa'uud kii reer Falastiin ku yidhi, Adigu waxaad ii soo qaadatay seef iyo waran iyo hoto; aniguse waxaan kuula imid magaca Rabbiga ciidammada, kaasoo ah Ilaaha ciidammada reer binu Israa'iil ee aad caraysiisay.

Then said David to the Philistine, Thou comest to me with a sword, and with a spear, and with a shield: but I come to thee in the name of the Lord of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom thou hast defied.

46 M aanta Rabbigu gacantayduu ii soo kaa gelin doonaa; waanan ku dili doonaa, oo madaxaanan kaa gooyn doonaa; oo maanta meydka reer Falastiin ciidankooda waxaan siin doonaa haadka hawada, iyo dugaagga dhulka, si dunida oo dhammu ay u ogaato in Ilaah ku dhex jiro reer binu Israa'iil;

This day will the Lord deliver thee into mine hand; and I will smite thee, and take thine head from thee; and I will give the carcases of the host of the Philistines this day unto the fowls of the air, and to the wild beasts of the earth; that all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel.

47 i yo si uu shirkan oo dhammu u ogaado inaan Rabbigu wax ku badbaadin seef iyo waran; waayo, dagaalka Rabbigaa leh, oo gacantayaduu idinku soo ridi doonaa.

And all this assembly shall know that the Lord saveth not with sword and spear: for the battle is the Lord’s, and he will give you into our hands.

48 O o markii kii reer Falastiin soo kacay oo uu u soo dhowaaday inuu Daa'uud ka hor tago, ayaa Daa'uud soo dhaqsaday oo ku soo orday xaggii ciidanka inuu ka hor tago kii reer Falastiin.

And it came to pass, when the Philistine arose, and came and drew nigh to meet David, that David hasted, and ran toward the army to meet the Philistine.

49 M arkaasaa Daa'uud gacanta geliyey kolaygiisii, oo dhagax kala soo baxay, oo intuu wadhfiyey ayuu kii reer Falastiin wejiga kaga dhuftay, oo dhagaxiina wejigiisuu dalaq yidhi, markaasuu dhulka afgembi ugu dhacay.

And David put his hand in his bag, and took thence a stone, and slang it, and smote the Philistine in his forehead, that the stone sunk into his forehead; and he fell upon his face to the earth.

50 S idaasuu Daa'uud kii reer Falastiin kaga adkaaday wadhaf iyo dhagax, oo wuu ku dhuftay, wuuna dilay; laakiinse Daa'uud gacanta seefu uguma jirin.

So David prevailed over the Philistine with a sling and with a stone, and smote the Philistine, and slew him; but there was no sword in the hand of David.

51 M arkaasaa Daa'uud orday oo ag istaagay kii reer Falastiin, oo wuxuu ka qaatay seeftiisii, oo galkii ka soo bixiyey, oo intuu ku bireeyey ayuu madaxiina kaga gooyay. Oo kuwii reer Falastiinna markay arkeen in tiirrigoodii dhintay ayay carareen.

Therefore David ran, and stood upon the Philistine, and took his sword, and drew it out of the sheath thereof, and slew him, and cut off his head therewith. And when the Philistines saw their champion was dead, they fled.

52 M arkaasay raggii reer binu Israa'iil iyo raggii reer Yahuudah kaceen oo qayliyeen oo waxay eryadeen reer Falastiin, tan iyo dooxadii iyo ilaa irdaha Ceqroon. Oo dhaawicii reer Falastiinna waxay ku dhaceen jidka Shacarayim, iyo tan iyo Gad iyo ilaa Ceqroon.

And the men of Israel and of Judah arose, and shouted, and pursued the Philistines, until thou come to the valley, and to the gates of Ekron. And the wounded of the Philistines fell down by the way to Shaaraim, even unto Gath, and unto Ekron.

53 O o reer binu Israa'iilna way ka noqdeen reer Falastiinkii ay eryanayeen, oo xeradoodiina way dhaceen.

And the children of Israel returned from chasing after the Philistines, and they spoiled their tents.

54 M arkaasaa Daa'uud madaxii kii reer Falastiin qaaday, oo Yeruusaalem keenay, laakiinse hubkiisii teendhadiisuu dhigay.

And David took the head of the Philistine, and brought it to Jerusalem; but he put his armour in his tent.

55 O o Saa'uulna markuu arkay Daa'uud oo u baxaya kii reer Falastiin ayuu Abneer oo ahaa sirkaalkii ciidanka ku yidhi, Abneer, yarkanu waa ina ayo? Oo Abneerna wuxuu ku yidhi, Boqorow, noloshaadaan ku dhaartaye, kuuma sheegi karo.

And when Saul saw David go forth against the Philistine, he said unto Abner, the captain of the host, Abner, whose son is this youth? And Abner said, As thy soul liveth, O king, I cannot tell.

56 M arkaasaa boqorkii wuxuu ku yidhi, Soo haybso yarka ina ayihiisa.

And the king said, Enquire thou whose son the stripling is.

57 O o markii Daa'uud ka soo noqday diliddii kii reer Falastiin ayaa Abneer kexeeyey oo Saa'uul hor keenay isagoo gacanta ku wata madaxii kii reer Falastiin.

And as David returned from the slaughter of the Philistine, Abner took him, and brought him before Saul with the head of the Philistine in his hand.

58 M arkaasaa Saa'uul ku yidhi, Inanyahow, ina ayaad tahay? Oo Daa'uudna wuxuu ugu jawaabay, Waxaan ahay wiilkii addoonkaaga Yesay ee reer Beytlaxam.

And Saul said to him, Whose son art thou, thou young man? And David answered, I am the son of thy servant Jesse the Beth-lehemite.
