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 their armies for battle and were assembled at Socoh, which belongs to Judah, and encamped between Socoh 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.

Saul and the men of Israel were encamped in the Valley of Elah and drew up in battle 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 one side and Israel stood on a mountain on the other side, with the 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 a champion went 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 a bronze helmet on his head and wore a coat of mail, and the coat weighed 5, 000 shekels of bronze.

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

He had bronze shin armor on his legs and a bronze javelin across 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 shaft of his spear was like a weaver’s beam; his spear’s head weighed 600 shekels of iron. And a shield bearer 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.

Goliath stood and shouted to the ranks of Israel, Why have you come out to draw up for battle? Am I not a Philistine, and are you not servants of Saul? Choose a man for yourselves 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 is able to fight with me and kill me, then we will be your servants; but if I prevail against him and kill him, then you shall 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 ranks 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.

David was the son of an Ephrathite of Bethlehem in Judah named Jesse, who had eight sons. in the days of Saul was old, advanced in years.

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.

three eldest sons had followed Saul into battle. Their names were Eliab the firstborn; next, Abinadab; and third, Shammah.

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

David was the youngest. 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 back and forth from Saul to feed his father’s sheep at Bethlehem.

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

The Philistine came out morning and evening, presenting himself for 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 to David his son, Take for your brothers an ephah of this parched grain and these ten loaves and carry them quickly to your brothers at the camp.

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.

Also take these ten cheeses to the commander of their thousand. See how your brothers fare and bring some token from them.

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 the brothers 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.

So David rose up early next morning, left the sheep with a keeper, took the provisions, and went, as Jesse had commanded him. And he came to the encampment as the host going forth to the battleground shouted the battle cry.

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

And Israel and the Philistines 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.

David left his packages in the care of the baggage keeper and ran into the ranks and came and greeted his brothers.

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.

As they talked, behold, Goliath, the champion, the Philistine of Gath, came forth from the Philistine ranks and spoke the same words as before, and David heard him.

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, terrified.

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 Israelites said, Have you seen this man who has come out? Surely he has come out to defy Israel; and the man who kills him the king will enrich 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 said to the men standing by him, What shall be done for the man who kills this Philistine and takes 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 told him, Thus shall it be done for the man who kills 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.

Now Eliab his eldest brother heard what he said to the men; and Eliab’s anger was kindled against David and he said, Why did you come here? With whom have you left those few sheep in the wilderness? I know your presumption and evilness of heart; for you came down that you might 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 done now? Was it not a harmless question?

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

And David turned away from Eliab to another and he asked the same question, and again the men gave him the same answer.

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

When David’s words were heard, they were repeated to 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.

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

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, You are not able to go to fight against this Philistine. You are only an adolescent, and he has been a warrior 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 to Saul, Your servant kept his father’s sheep. And when there came a lion or again 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.

I went out after it and smote it and delivered the lamb out of its mouth; and when it arose against me, I caught it by its beard and smote it and killed it.

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.

Your servant killed both the lion and the bear; and this uncircumcised Philistine shall be like one of them, for he has 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, The Lord Who 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 to David, Go, and the Lord be with you!

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

Then Saul clothed David with his armor; he put a bronze helmet on his head and clothed 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 over his armor. Then he tried to go, but could not, for he was not used to it. And David said to Saul, I cannot go with these, for I am not used to them. And David took them off.

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.

Then he took his staff in his hand and chose five smooth stones out of the brook and put them in his shepherd’s bag, in his pouch, and his sling was in his hand, and he drew near the Philistine.

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

The Philistine came on and drew near to David, the man who bore the shield going 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 around and saw David, he scorned and despised him, for he was but an adolescent, with a healthy reddish color and a fair face.

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 to David, Am I a dog, that you should come to me with sticks? 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.

The Philistine said to David, Come to me, and I will give your flesh to the birds of the air and 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, You come to me with a sword, a spear, and a javelin, but I come to you in the name of the Lord of hosts, the God of the ranks of Israel, Whom you have 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 the Lord will deliver you into my hand, and I will smite you and cut off your head. And I will give the corpses of the army of the Philistines this day to the birds of the air and 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 saves 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.

When the Philistine came forward to meet David, David ran quickly toward the battle line 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.

David put his hand into his bag and took out a stone and slung it, and it struck the Philistine, sinking into his forehead, and he fell on 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 struck down the Philistine and slew him. But no sword was in David’s hand.

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.

So he ran and stood over the Philistine, took his sword and drew it out of its sheath, and killed him, and cut off his head with it. When the Philistines saw that their mighty 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 Judah rose with a shout and pursued the Philistines as far as Gath and the gates of Ekron. So the wounded Philistines fell along the way from Shaaraim as far as Gath and Ekron.

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

The Israelites returned from their pursuit of the Philistines and plundered their tents.

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

David took the head of the Philistine and brought it to Jerusalem, but he put his armor 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.

When Saul saw David go out against the Philistine, he said to Abner, the captain of the host, Abner, whose son is this youth? And Abner said, As your soul lives, O king, I cannot tell.

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

And the king said, Inquire 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.

When David returned from killing Goliath the Philistine, Abner 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 are you, young man? And David answered, I am the son of your servant Jesse of Bethlehem.
