44 The Lord gave them peace on every side as he had promised their ancestors. Not a single one of their enemies could stand against them, for the Lord had handed their enemies over to them to defeat.
Oo Rabbigu wuxuu iyagii ka nasiyey dadkii ku wareegsanaa, siduu awowayaashood ugu dhaartay oo dhan: oo nin cadaawayaashoodii oo dhan ka mid ihi hortooda isma taagin, oo Rabbigu cadaawayaashoodii oo dhan gacantuu u soo geliyey.
45 Not a single one of the good things the Lord promised Israel had failed; everything had come true.
Oo waxba kama baaqan innaba wixii wanaagsanaa oo Rabbigu u sheegay reer binu Israa'iil; laakiinse kulli way wada ahaadeen.
