1 Chronicles 20
1 [In that region], kings usually went [with their armies] to fight [their enemies] (in the springtime/when the cold season ended). But that year, David [did not do that. Instead, he] stayed in Jerusalem, and he sent [his commander] Joab [to lead the army]. Joab took his troops. They [crossed the Jordan River and] ruined the land of the Ammon people-group. Then they went to Rabbah, [the capital city, ] and surrounded it. David stayed in Jerusalem [for a while. But later he took more troops and went to help] Joab. Their armies attacked Rabbah and destroyed it.
Oo isla xilligii sannaddii dambe, markay boqorradu dagaalka u soo bixi jireen ayaa Yoo'aab kaxaystay xooggii ciidanka oo dhan oo baabbi'iyey dalkii reer Cammoon, oo haddana intuu soo kacay ayuu Rabbaah hareereeyey. Yoo'aab wuxuu dagaal ku dhiftay Rabbaah, wuuna afgembiyey, laakiinse Daa'uud baa Yeruusaalem iska joogay.
2 Then David took the crown from the head of the king of Rabbah (OR, from the head of their god Milcom) and put it on his own head. It [was very heavy; it] weighed (75 pounds/34 kg.), and it had many very valuable stones [fastened to it]. They also took many other valuable things from the city.
Markaasaa Daa'uud boqorkoodii madaxiisii taajkii ka qaaday, oo wuxuu ogaaday in miisaankiisu yahay talanti dahab ah, dhagxan qaali ahna wuu lahaa, markaasaa Daa'uud madaxa loo saaray. Oo wuxuu dibadda u soo bixiyey dhacii magaalada oo aad iyo aad u badnaa.
3 Then they brought the people out of the city and forced them to [work for their army, ] using saws and iron picks and axes. David’s soldiers did this in all the cities of the Ammon people-group. Then David and all of his army returned to Jerusalem.
Dibadduu u soo bixiyey dadkii magaalada ku jiray, oo wuxuu hoos dhigay miinshaaro iyo biro wax lagu qodo, iyo faasas. Oo magaalooyinkii reer Cammoon oo dhan Daa'uud saasuu u wada galay. Markaasaa Daa'uud iyo dadkii oo dhammu ku noqdeen Yeruusaalem.
4 Later, [David’s army] fought a battle with the army of Philistia, at Gezer [city]. During the battle Sibbecai, from Hushah [clan], killed Sippai, one of the descendants of the Rapha [giants]. So the armies of Philistia were defeated.
Oo taas dabadeed waxay noqotay in reer Falastiin haddana Geser lagula diriray, oo Sibbekay oo reer Xushaad ahaa wuxuu dilay Sifay, oo ahaa mid ka mid ah wiilashii Rafaa, oo iyagiina waa la jebiyey.
5 In another battle against the soldiers of Philistia, Elhanan, the son of Jair, killed Lahmi, the [younger] brother of [the giant] Goliath from Gath [town], who had a spear which was as thick as a weaver’s rod.
Oo haddana reer Falastiin waa lala diriray, oo Elxaanaan ina Yaaciir wuxuu dilay Laxmii oo ahaa Goli'ad kii reer Gad walaalkiis, oo samayda warankiisuna waxay le'ekayd dharsameeyaha looxiisa.
6 There was another battle near Gath. A (huge man/giant) was there who had six fingers on each hand and six toes on each foot. He was descended from [the] Rapha [giants].
Oo haddana waxaa dagaal ka dhacay Gad, halkaasna waxaa joogay nin aad u dheer, oo farihiisa gacmeed iyo farihiisa lugeedna waxay ahaayeen afar iyo labaatan, oo gacan kasta wuxuu ku lahaa lix, cag kastana wuxuu ku lahaa lix, oo isna wuxuu u dhashay Rafaa.
7 When he made fun of the soldiers of Israel, Jonathan, the son of David’s [older] brother Shimea, killed him.
Oo isna markuu reer binu Israa'iil caayay waxaa isagii dilay Yoonaataan oo uu Daa'uud walaalkiisii Shimcaa ahaa dhalay.
8 Those were some of the descendants of [the] Rapha [giants] who had lived in Gath, who were killed [MTY] by David and his soldiers.
Kuwanu waxay Rafaa ugu dhasheen Gad, oo waxay ku dhinteen Daa'uud gacantiisii iyo gacantii addoommadiisa.
