1 Samuel 17
1 The Philistines gathered their army [to fight the Israeli army]. They gathered together near Socoh, in the area where the descendants of Judah lived. They set up their tents at Ephes-Dammim, which is between Socoh and Azekah.
Haddaba 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.
2 Saul gathered the Israeli army near Elah Valley, and they set up their tents. Then they all took their places, ready to fight the Philistines.
Markaasay 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.
3 So the Philistine and Israeli armies faced each other. They were on two hills, with a valley between them.
Oo 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.
4 Then Goliath, from Gath [city], came out from the Philistine camp. He was a champion warrior/soldier. He was (over 9 feet/3 meters) tall.
Oo 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.
5 He wore a helmet made of bronze [to protect his head], and he wore a coat made of metal plates [to protect his body]. The coat weighed (125 pounds/56 kg.).
Oo waxaa madaxiisa u saarnaa koofiyad naxaas ah, dhar bir ahna wuu huwanaa, oo dharka miisaankiisuna wuxuu ahaa shan kun oo sheqel oo naxaas ah.
6 He wore bronze guards/protectors on his legs. He had a long bronze dagger fastened on his back.
Oo lugahana waxaa ugu xidhnaa naxaas, garbaha dhexdoodana naxaas kale.
7 He also had a big spear. It had a cord on it to enable him to throw it better (OR, which was as thick as a weaver’s beam). The tip of the spear was made of iron and weighed (15 pounds/almost 7 kg.). A soldier carrying a huge shield walked in front of him.
Oo 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.
8 Goliath stood there and shouted to the Israeli army, “Why are you all lined up for battle? I am the great Philistine [soldier], and I think [RHQ] you are [merely] Saul’s slaves. Choose one man to fight for all of you, and send him down here to me!
Oo 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.
9 If he fights with me and kills me, then my fellow Philistines will all be your slaves. But if I defeat him and kill him, then you Israelis will all be our slaves.
Oo 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.
10 I defy/challenge you men of the Israeli army. Send me a man who will fight with me!”
Oo kii reer Falastiin wuxuu yidhi, Ciidammada reer binu Israa'iilow, car, maanta ii soo dira nin ila dirira.
11 When Saul and all the Israeli soldiers heard that, they were extremely terrified [DOU].
Oo Saa'uul iyo reer binu Israa'iil oo dhammu markay maqleen erayadii reer Falastiin way nexeen, aad bayna u cabsadeen.
12 David was the son of Jesse. Jesse was from the clan of Ephrath. He lived in Bethlehem, in the area where the descendants of Judah lived. Jesse had eight sons. When Saul [was king], Jesse had already become a very old man [DOU].
Haddaba 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.
13 Jesse’s three oldest sons, Eliab and Abinadab and Shammah, had gone with Saul to fight [the Philistines].
Oo 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.
14 David was Jesse’s youngest son. While his three oldest brothers were with Saul,
Oo Daa'uudna wuxuu ahaa kii ugu yaraa; saddexdii ugu waaweynaydna waxay raaceen Saa'uul.
15 David went back and forth: Sometimes he went to Saul’s camp, and sometimes he stayed in Bethlehem to take care of his father’s sheep.
Daa'uudna hadba Saa'uul wuu ka tegi jiray, wuuna ku soo noqon jiray, inuu idaha aabbihiis Beytlaxam ku daajiyo aawadeed.
16 For 40 days Goliath came out from the Philistine camp and stood there [taunting the Israeli army/telling the Israelis to choose one man to fight with him]. He did it twice each day, once in the morning and once in the evening.
Oo kii reer Falastiinna wuu soo dhowaan jiray subax iyo fiidba, oo wuxuu ismuujiyey afartan maalmood.
17 [One day], Jesse said to David, “Here is a sack of roasted grain and ten loaves of bread. Take these quickly to your [older] brothers.
Markaasaa 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,
18 And here are ten large chunks of cheese. Take them to their commander. And see how things are going with your [older] brothers. Then [if they are okay, ] bring back something to show they are all right.”
oo tobankan xabbadood ee burcadka ahna waxaad u geeysaa kun-u-taliyahooda, oo soo eeg sida walaalahaa xaalkoodu yahay, warkooda oo xaqiiqa ahna ii keen.
19 His brothers were with Saul and all the other Israeli soldiers, camped alongside Elah Valley, [preparing to] fight the Philistines.
Haddaba Saa'uul, iyo iyagii, iyo raggii reer binu Israa'iil oo dhammu, waxay joogeen dooxadii Eelaah, iyagoo reer Falastiin la diriraya.
20 So David arranged for another shepherd to take care of the sheep. Early the next morning he took the food and went to the Israeli camp, as Jesse told him to do. He arrived there just as the Israeli soldiers were forming their ranks and going out to the battlefield. As they went, they were shouting a war cry.
Markaasaa 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.
21 The Philistine army and the Israeli army stood [on the hillsides], facing each other, ready for the battle.
Oo reer binu Israa'iil iyo reer Falastiin dagaal bay isugu soo diyaariyeen, iyadoo ciidanba ciidanka kale ka gees yahay.
22 David gave the food to the man who was taking care of the war equipment. [He told him to take care of the food that he brought], and then he went and greeted his older brothers.
Oo Daa'uud wuxuu alaabtiisii kaga tegey kii alaabta dhawrayay gacantiisii, wuuna ku orday ciidankii, oo intuu walaalihiis u tegey ayuu salaamay.
23 While he was talking with them, he saw Goliath coming out from among the Philistine soldiers, shouting [to the Israelis], challenging them [to send a man to fight him]. David heard what Goliath was saying.
Oo 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.
24 When all the Israeli soldiers saw Goliath, they were terrified and started to ran away.
Oo raggii reer binu Israa'iil oo dhammu markii ay ninkii arkeen ayay ka carareen, aad bayna uga cabsadeen.
25 They were saying to each other, “Look at him coming up toward us! And listen to him as he defies us Israelis! The king says that he will give a big reward to whoever kills this man. He also says that he will give his daughter to that man for him to marry her, and that he will no longer require that man’s family to pay taxes.”
Oo 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.
26 David talked to some of the men who were standing near him. He said, “What will be given to whoever kills this Philistine and frees us Israelis from this shame/disgrace? And who [does] this heathen Philistine [think he] is, defying/ridiculing the army that serves the all-powerful God?”
Markaasaa 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?
27 They told him the same thing that the other men had said, about what the king would do for anyone who killed Goliath.
Oo dadkiina waxay ugu jawaabeen, oo ku yidhaahdeen, Sidan baa lagu samayn doonaa ninkii dila.
28 But when David’s oldest brother Eliab heard David talking to the men, he was angry. He said to David, “Why have you come down here? Is someone taking care of those few sheep that you left in the desert? I know you are just a (smart-aleck/brat)! You just want to watch the battle!”
Oo 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.
29 David replied, “Have I done something wrong? I was merely asking a question!”
Markaasaa Daa'uud ku yidhi, Bal maxaan haatan sameeyey? Sow hadal uun ma aha?
30 Then he walked over to another man and asked him the same question, but the man gave him the same answer. Each time he asked someone, he received the same answer.
Markaasuu isagii uga jeestay mid kale, oo sidii oo kaluu kula hadlay; oo dadkiina sidii hore oo kalay ugu jawaabeen.
31 Finally, someone told king Saul what David had asked, and Saul sent someone to bring David to him.
Oo erayadii Daa'uud ku hadlay markii la maqlay ayaa Saa'uul loo warramay, oo isna wuu u soo cid diray.
32 David told king Saul, “No one should (worry/become a coward) because of that Philistine man. I will go and fight with him!”
Oo 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.
33 Saul said to David, “You are only a young man, and he has been a very capable soldier all his life. So you are not able to go and fight with him!”
Oo 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.
34 David replied, “I have been taking care of my father’s sheep [for many years]. Whenever a lion or a bear came and carried away a lamb,
Oo 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,
35 I went after the lion or the bear and attacked it and rescued the lamb from the wild animal’s mouth. Then I grabbed the animal by its jaw/throat and struck it and killed it.
waan 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.
36 I have killed both lions and bears. And [I will do] the same to this heathen Philistine, because he has defied/ridiculed the army of the all-powerful God!
Anoo addoonkaaga ah libaaxii iyo orsadiiba waan dilay; oo midkan reer Falastiin oo buuryoqabka ahuna iyagoo kaluu noqon doonaa, waayo, wuxuu careeyey ciidammadii Ilaaha nool.
37 Yahweh has rescued me from paws of lions and bears, and he will rescue me from this Philistine!” Then Saul said to David, “All right, go [and fight him], and [I hope/desire] that Yahweh will help you!”
Oo 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.
38 Then Saul gave to David his own clothes that he always wore in battles, and he gave him a bronze helmet and a coat made of metal plates.
Markaasaa Saa'uul Daa'uud u xidhay dharkiisii, oo madaxiisana u saaray koofiyad naxaas ah, oo wuxuu kaloo huwiyey dhar bir ah.
39 David [put these things on. Then he] fastened his sword over them, and tried to walk. But he could not walk, because he was not accustomed to wearing those things. So David said to Saul, “I cannot fight wearing all these things, because I am not accustomed to [wearing] them!” So he took them off.
Oo 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.
40 Then he took his walking/shepherd’s stick, and he picked up five smooth stones from the brook/stream. He put them in the pouch of his shoulder-bag. Then he put his sling in his hand and started walking toward Goliath.
Wuxuuse 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.
41 Goliath walked toward David, with the soldier who was carrying his shield walking in front of him. When he got near David,
Oo ninkii reer Falastiinna Daa'uud buu u soo dhowaaday; ninkii gaashaanka u sidayna wuu hor socday.
42 he looked at David closely. He saw that David had a handsome face and healthy body, but that he was only a young man. So he sneered at David.
Oo markii kii reer Falastiin wax fiiriyey, wuxuu arkay Daa'uud, wuuna quudhsaday; waayo, wuxuu ahaa wiil yar uun, oo cas, oo soojeed qurxoon.
43 He said to David, “Are you coming to me with a stick because [you think that] I am a dog?” Then he called out to his gods to harm David.
Markaasaa 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.
44 He said to David, “Come here to me, and I will [kill you and] give your dead body to the birds and wild animals to eat!”
Kii reer Falastiinna wuxuu Daa'uud ku yidhi, Ii kaalay oo hilibkaagaan siin doonaa haadka hawada iyo dugaagga duurka.
45 David replied, “You are coming to me with a sword and a dagger and a spear. But I am coming to you (in the name/with the authority) of almighty Yahweh. He is the God whom the army of Israel [worships], and he is the God whom you have defied/ridiculed.
Markaasuu 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.
46 Today Yahweh will enable me to defeat you. I will strike you down and cut off your head. And [we Israelis will kill] many Philistine [soldiers and] give their bodies to the birds and wild animals to eat. And everyone in the world will [hear about it and] know that we Israeli people worship an [all-powerful] God.
Maanta 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;
47 And everyone here will know that Yahweh can rescue people without a sword or a spear. Yahweh always wins his battles, and he will enable us to defeat all of you [Philistines].”
iyo 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.
48 As Goliath came closer to attack David, David ran quickly toward him.
Oo 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.
49 He put his hand into his shoulder-bag and took out one stone. He [put it in his sling and] hurled it toward Goliath. The stone hit Goliath on the forehead and penetrated his skull, and he fell face down onto the ground.
Markaasaa 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.
50 Then David ran and stood over Goliath. He pulled Goliath’s sword from its sheath and killed him with it, and then cut off his head. In that way David defeated the Philistine without having his own sword. He used [only] a sling and a stone! When the other Philistines saw that their great warrior was dead, they ran away.
Sidaasuu Daa'uud kii reer Falastiin kaga adkaaday wadhaf iyo dhagax, oo wuu ku dhuftay, wuuna dilay; laakiinse Daa'uud gacanta seefu uguma jirin.
Markaasaa 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.
52 The Israeli men shouted and ran after them. They pursued them all the way to Gath and to the gates of Ekron [city]. They struck them as they went, with the result that dead/wounded Philistines were lying on the road all the way from Shaaraim to Gath and Ekron [towns].
Markaasay 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.
53 When the Israelis returned from chasing the Philistines, they (plundered/took everything from) the Philistine camp.
Oo reer binu Israa'iilna way ka noqdeen reer Falastiinkii ay eryanayeen, oo xeradoodiina way dhaceen.
54 David later took the head of Goliath to Jerusalem, but he kept Goliath’s weapons in his own tent.
Markaasaa Daa'uud madaxii kii reer Falastiin qaaday, oo Yeruusaalem keenay, laakiinse hubkiisii teendhadiisuu dhigay.
55 As Saul watched David going toward Goliath, he said to Abner, the commanded of his army, “Abner, whose son is that young man?” Abner replied, “(As sure as you are alive/Truly) [IDM], I do not know.”
Oo 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.
56 Then the king said, “Find out whose son he is!”
Markaasaa boqorkii wuxuu ku yidhi, Soo haybso yarka ina ayihiisa.
57 [Later, ] as David returned from killing Goliath, Abner took him to Saul. David was carrying Goliath’s head.
Oo 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.
58 Saul asked him, “Young man, whose son are you?” David replied, “[Sir, perhaps you have forgotten that] I am the son of your servant Jesse, who has served you faithfully, who lives in Bethlehem.”
Markaasaa Saa'uul ku yidhi, Inanyahow, ina ayaad tahay? Oo Daa'uudna wuxuu ugu jawaabay, Waxaan ahay wiilkii addoonkaaga Yesay ee reer Beytlaxam.
