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 they were gathered at Socoh which belongs to Judah, and they camped 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 gathered and camped in the valley of Elah, and drew up in battle array to encounter 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.

The Philistines stood on the mountain on one side while Israel stood on the 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.

Then a champion came out from the armies of the Philistines named Goliath, from 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.

He had a bronze helmet on his head, and he was clothed with scale-armor which weighed five thousand shekels of bronze.

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

He also had bronze greaves on his legs and a bronze javelin slung 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.

The shaft of his spear was like a weaver’s beam, and the head of his spear weighed six hundred shekels of iron; his shield-carrier also walked 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.

He stood and shouted to the ranks of Israel and said to them, “Why do you come out to draw up in battle array? Am I not the Philistine and you 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 become your servants; but if I prevail against him and kill him, then you shall become 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.

Again 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 these 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 the Ephrathite of Bethlehem in Judah, whose name was Jesse, and he had eight sons. And Jesse was old in the days of Saul, advanced in years among men.

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.

The three older sons of Jesse had gone after Saul to the battle. And the names of his three sons who went to the battle were Eliab the firstborn, and the second to him Abinadab, and the third Shammah.

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

David was the youngest. Now the three oldest 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 tend his father’s flock at Bethlehem.

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

The Philistine came forward morning and evening for forty days and took his stand.

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,

Then Jesse said to David his son, “ Take now for your brothers an ephah of this roasted grain and these ten loaves and run to the camp to your brothers.

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.

Bring also these ten cuts of cheese to the commander of their thousand, and look into the welfare of your brothers, and bring back news of 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.

For Saul and they and all the men of Israel are in the valley of Elah, fighting with the Philistines.” David Accepts the Challenge

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 arose early in the morning and left the flock with a keeper and took the supplies and went as Jesse had commanded him. And he came to the circle of the camp while the army was going out in battle array shouting the war cry.

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

Israel and the Philistines drew up in battle 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.

Then David left his baggage in the care of the baggage keeper, and ran to the battle line and entered in order to greet 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 he was talking with them, behold, the champion, the Philistine from Gath named Goliath, was coming up from the army of the Philistines, and he spoke these 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.

When all the men of Israel saw the man, they fled from him and were greatly 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.

The men of Israel said, “Have you seen this man who is coming up? Surely he is coming up to defy Israel. And it will be that the king will enrich the man who kills 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?

Then David spoke to the men who were standing by him, saying, “What will 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 taunt the armies of the living God?”

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

The people answered him in accord with this word, saying, “ Thus it will 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 oldest brother heard when he spoke to the men; and Eliab’s anger burned against David and he said, “Why have you come down? And with whom have you left those few sheep in the wilderness? I know your insolence and the wickedness of your heart; for you have come down in order to see the battle.”

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

But David said, “What have I done now? Was it not just a question?”

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

Then he turned away from him to another and said the same thing; and the people answered the same thing as before. David Kills Goliath

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

When the words which David spoke were heard, they told them 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 on account of him; your 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.

Then Saul said to David, “ You are not able to go against this Philistine to fight with him; for you are but a youth while 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,

But David said to Saul, “Your servant was tending his father’s sheep. When a lion or a bear came and took a lamb from 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 him and attacked him, and rescued it from his mouth; and when he rose up against me, I seized him by his beard and struck him and killed 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.

Your servant has killed both the lion and the bear; and this uncircumcised Philistine will be like one of them, since he has taunted 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.

And David said, “ The Lord who delivered me from the paw of the lion and from the paw of the bear, He will deliver me from the hand of this Philistine.” And Saul said to David, “ Go, and may 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 garments and put a bronze helmet on his head, and he clothed him with armor.

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.

David girded his sword over his armor and tried to walk, for he had not tested them. So David said to Saul, “I cannot go with these, for I have not tested 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.

He took his stick in his hand and chose for himself five smooth stones from the brook, and put them in the shepherd’s bag which he had, even in his pouch, and his sling was in his hand; and he approached the Philistine.

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

Then the Philistine came on and approached David, with the shield-bearer in front of 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.

When the Philistine looked and saw David, he disdained him; for he was but a youth, and ruddy, with a handsome appearance.

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.

The Philistine said to David, “ Am I a dog, that you 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 also said to David, “Come to me, and I will give your flesh to the birds of the sky 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 David said 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 armies of Israel, whom you have taunted.

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 up into my hands, and I will strike you down and remove your head from you. And I will give the dead bodies of the army of the Philistines this day to the birds of the sky 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 that all this assembly may know that the Lord does not deliver by sword or by 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.

Then it happened when the Philistine rose and came and drew near to meet David, that 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.

And David put his hand into his bag and took from it a stone and slung it, and struck the Philistine on his forehead. And the stone sank into his forehead, so that he fell on his face to the ground.

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.

Thus David prevailed over the Philistine with a sling and a stone, and he struck the Philistine and killed him; but there was no sword 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.

Then David ran and stood over the Philistine and 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 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.

The men of Israel and Judah arose and shouted and pursued the Philistines as far as the valley, and to the gates of Ekron. And the slain Philistines lay along the way to Shaaraim, even to Gath and Ekron.

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

The sons of Israel returned from chasing the Philistines and plundered their camps.

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

Then David took the Philistine’s head and brought it to Jerusalem, but he put his weapons 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.

Now when Saul saw David going out against the Philistine, he said to Abner the commander of the army, “Abner, whose son is this young man?” And Abner said, “By your life, O king, I do not know.”

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

The king said, “You inquire whose son the youth 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.

So when David returned from killing the Philistine, Abner took him and brought him before Saul with the Philistine’s head 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.

Saul said to him, “Whose son are you, young man?” And David answered, “ I am the son of your servant Jesse the Bethlehemite.”
