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

When David and his men came to Ziklag on the third day, the Amalekites had come to fight in the Negev and Ziklag. They had destroyed Ziklag, and burned it with fire.

2 o o 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.

They took the women and all who were in it, without killing anyone. They carried them out and went on their way.

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

David and his men came to the city and saw that it was burned. Their wives and sons and daughters had been taken away.

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

Then David and the people with him cried out in a loud voice until they had no more strength to cry.

5 O o 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.

David’s two wives had been taken away, Ahinoam of Jezreel, and Abigail who had been the wife of Nabal of Carmel.

6 O o 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.

And David was very troubled because the people talked about killing him with stones. For all the people were very angry in their sorrow for their sons and daughters. But David got his strength from the Lord his God.

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

David said to Abiathar the religious leader, son of Ahimelech, “Bring me the linen vest.” So Abiathar brought the linen vest to David.

8 M arkaasaa 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.

Then David asked the Lord, “Should I go after this army? Should I meet them in battle?” The Lord said to him, “Go after them, for you will catch them for sure. And you will be sure to save all the people.”

9 S idaas 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.

So David and the 600 men who were with him went out and came to the river of Besor. There those stayed who were left behind.

10 L aakiinse 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.

But David kept going after them, with 400 men. For 200 were too tired to cross the river of Besor and stayed behind.

11 O o 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.

They found an Egyptian in the field and brought him to David. They gave him bread and he ate, and he was given water to drink.

12 O o 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.

They gave him a piece of a fig loaf and two vines of dried grapes. When he had eaten, his spirit returned to him. For he had not eaten bread or drunk water for three days and three nights.

13 M arkaasaa 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.

David said to him, “To whom do you belong? Where are you from?” And he answered, “I am a young man of Egypt, a servant of an Amalekite. My owner left me behind when I became sick three days ago.

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

We had gone to fight in the Negev of the Cherethites, and in the land of Judah, and in the Negev of Caleb. We burned Ziklag with fire.”

15 M arkaasaa 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.

Then David said to him, “Will you take me down to his army?” And he said, “Promise me by God that you will not kill me or give me to my owner, and I will bring you down to this army.”

16 O o 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.

When he had taken David down, he saw the soldiers spread over all the land. They were eating and drinking and dancing because of all the good things they had taken from the land of the Philistines and the land of Judah.

17 O o 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.

And David killed them from the evening until the evening of the next day. None of them got away, except 400 young men who ran away on camels.

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

David took back all that the Amalekites had taken, and saved his two wives.

19 O o 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.

Nothing was missing, small or large, sons or daughters, food or anything that had been taken. David returned with all of it.

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

And he took all the sheep and cattle. The people drove those animals in front of him, and said, “This is what belongs to David.”

21 O o 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.

David came to the 200 men who had been too tired to follow him and had been left at the river of Besor. They went out to meet David and the people who were with him. David came near the people and said hello to them.

22 M arkaasay 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.

Then all the sinful men of no worth who had gone with David said, “They did not go with us. So we will not give them anything of what we have taken, except for each man’s wife and children. Each man may take them and go.”

23 M arkaasaa 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.

David said, “You must not do so with what the Lord has given us, my brothers. He has kept us safe and has given us the army that came against us.

24 H addaba 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.

Who would listen to you about this? The share of those who stay by our things will be the same as the share of those who go to the battle. They will share alike.”

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

He made it a law for Israel from that day to this.

26 O o 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,

When David came to Ziklag, he sent some of the things he had taken in battle to the leaders of Judah, his friends. He said, “See, here is a gift for you from what was taken from those who hate the Lord.

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

It is for those in Bethel, Ramoth of the Negev, Jattir,

28 i yo kuwii Carooceer joogay, iyo kuwii Sifmood joogay, iyo kuwii Eshtemooca joogay,

Aroer, Siphmoth, Eshtemoa,

29 i yo kuwii Raakaal joogay, iyo kuwii magaalooyinka reer Yeraxme'eel joogay, iyo kuwii magaalooyinka reer Qeyn joogay,

and Racal. It is for those in the cities of the Jerahmeelites, the cities of the Kenites,

30 i yo kuwii Xormaah joogay, iyo kuwii Koor Caashaan joogay, iyo kuwii Cataag joogay,

Hormah, Borashan, Athach,

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

Hebron, and all the places where David and his men have gone many times.”
