< 2 Samuel 10 >

1 Some time later, the king of the Ammon people-group died, and his son Hanun became their king.
Taas dabadeedna boqorkii reer Cammoon ayaa dhintay, meeshiisiina waxaa boqor ka noqday wiilkiisii Xaanuun ahaa.
2 David thought, “Nahash was kind to me, so I will be kind to his son.” So David sent some officials there, to tell Hanun that David was sorry that Hanun’s father [had died]. When those messengers arrived in the land where the Ammon people-group lived,
Markaasaa Daa'uud yidhi, Anigu Xaanuun ina Naaxaash, waxaan ugu roonaan doonaa sidii aabbihiis iigu roonaaday oo kale. Sidaas daraaddeed Daa'uud wuxuu u diray addoommadiisii inay ka soo tacsiyeeyaan aabbihiis. Oo addoommadii Daa'uudna waxay yimaadeen dalkii reer Cammoon.
3 the leaders of the Ammon people-group said to Hanun, “Do you think that it is to honor your father that King David has sent these men to say that he is sorry that your father died [RHQ]? [We think that] he has sent them here to look around the city to determine how his [army] can conquer us!”
Laakiinse amiirradii reer Cammoon waxay ku yidhaahdeen sayidkoodii Xaanuun, Ma waxaad u malaynaysaa in Daa'uud aabbahaa cisaynayo oo uu sidaas daraaddeed kuugu soo diray kuwa tacsiyada wada? Daa'uud sow uma soo dirin addoommadiisii inay magaalada baadhaan, oo ay soo basaasaan, oo ay dabadeedna afgembiyaan?
4 Hanun [believed what they said; so he commanded some soldiers to] seize David’s officials and [insult them by] shaving off one side of each man’s beard, and [by] cutting off the lower part of their robes, [with the result that their buttocks could be seen], and then they sent them away.
Sidaas daraaddeed Xaanuun wuxuu qabsaday Daa'uud addoommadiisii, oo intuu gadhkoodii badh ka xiiray ayuu dharkoodiina dhexda ka kala gooyay xataa ilaa dabada, markaasuu iska eryay.
5 The men were very humiliated/ashamed, [so they did not want to return home]. When David found out about what had happened to his officials, he sent someone to tell them, “Stay at Jericho until your beards have grown again, and then return home.”
Oo taas markii Daa'uud loo soo sheegay wuxuu iyagii u diray dad ka hor taga, waayo, nimankii aad bay u ceeboobeen. Boqorkiina wuxuu iyagii ku yidhi, Yerixoo iska jooga ilaa gadhku idiin soo baxo, dabadeedna soo noqda.
6 Then [the leaders of] the Ammon people-group realized that they had greatly insulted [IDM] David [IDM]. So they sent some men to hire/pay some soldiers [from other nearby areas to help defend them]. They hired 20,000 soldiers from [the] Beth-Rehob and Zobah [regions northeast of Israel], and 12,000 soldiers from [the] Tob [region], and 1,000 soldiers from [the army of] the king of Maacah [region].
Oo reer Cammoonna markay ogaadeen inay Daa'uud isnacsiiyeen ayay u cid direen oo ka soo kiraysteen reer Suuriyihii Beytrexob degganaa, iyo reer Suuriyihii Soobaah degganaa labaatan kun oo nin oo lug ah, iyo boqorkii Macakaah oo isna wata kun nin, iyo raggii reer Toob oo iyana ahaa laba iyo toban kun oo nin.
7 When David heard about that, he sent Joab with all of the army [that Joab commanded], to fight against them.
Oo Daa'uudna markuu taas maqlay ayuu diray Yoo'aab, iyo ciidankii raggii xoogga lahaa oo dhan.
8 The soldiers of the Ammon people-group marched out and (stood in their positions/arranged themselves for battle) at the entrance [to their capital city, Rabbah]. The other soldiers from Syria and Tob and Maacah stood by themselves (in their positions/arranged themselves for battle) in the nearby fields.
Oo reer Cammoonna way soo baxeen, oo waxay dagaal isugu soo diyaariyeen iridda horteeda; oo reer Suuriyihii Soobaah ka yimid, iyo kuwii Rexob ka yimid, iyo raggii reer Toob iyo reer Macakaahna, duurkay keli ahaantood joogeen.
9 Joab saw that there were groups of enemy soldiers in front of his troops and behind his troops. So he chose some of the best Israeli soldiers, and put them in positions to fight against the soldiers of Syria.
Haddaba Yoo'aab markuu arkay in dagaal looga soo kacshay hore iyo dibba ayuu raggii reer binu Israa'iil ka xushay kuwii xuladka ahaa oo dhan, oo wuxuu u soo diyaariyey inay reer Suuriya la dagaallamaan.
10 He appointed his [older] brother Abishai to be the commander of all the other soldiers, and he told them to (stand in their positions/arrange themselves) in front of [the army of] the Ammon people-group.
Oo dadkii intiisii kalena wuxuu u dhiibay walaalkiis Abiishay, oo isna wuxuu u soo diyaariyey inay reer Cammoon la dagaallamaan.
11 Then Joab said, “If the soldiers from Syria are too strong for us to defeat them, your men must come and help us. But if the soldiers from the Ammon people-group are too strong for you to defeat, we will come and help your men.
Oo wuxuu yidhi, Haddii reer Suuriya iga xoog bataan, waa inaad i soo caawisaa, laakiinse haddii reer Cammoon kaa xoog bataan, markaasaan kuu iman doonaa oo waan ku soo caawin doonaa.
12 We must be strong, and fight hard [IDM] to [defend] our people and the cities [(that belong to/where we worship)] our God. I will pray/request that Yahweh do what he considers to be good.”
Haddaba si fiican u dhiirranow, oo aynu rag u ahaanno dadkeenna, iyo magaalooyinka Ilaaheen aawadood; oo Rabbiguna ha sameeyo wixii la wanaagsan.
13 So Joab and his army [advanced to] attack the army of Syria, and the soldiers from Syria ran away from them.
Sidaas daraaddeed Yoo'aab iyo dadkii la jirayba waxay ugu soo dhowaadeen inay la dagaallamaan reer Suuriya, oo iyana markaasay hortiisa ka carareen.
14 And when [the soldiers of] the Ammon people-group saw that the soldiers from Syria were running away, they also started to run away from Abishai and his army, and they retreated back inside the city. So Joab’s [army] stopped fighting against [the army of] the Ammon people-group, and Joab [and his army] returned to Jerusalem.
Oo reer Cammoonna markay arkeen in reer Suuriya carareen, ayay Abiishay iyana hortiisa saasoo kale uga carareen, oo waxay galeen magaaladii. Markaasaa Yoo'aab ka soo noqday reer Cammoon, oo Yeruusaalem yimid.
15 After [the leaders of] the army of Syria saw that the Israeli army had defeated them, they gathered all their troops together.
Oo reer Suuriyana markay arkeen in iyaga looga adkaaday reer binu Israa'iil hortooda ayay dhammaantood isa soo wada urursadeen.
16 [Their king, ] Hadadezer, summoned the soldiers of Syria who lived on the east side of the [Euphrates] River. They gathered at Helam [city]. Their commander was Shobach.
Markaasaa Hadarceser u cid diray oo soo wada kexeeyey reer Suuriyihii Webiga ka shisheeyey; oo waxay yimaadeen Xeelaam, iyagoo uu madax u yahay Shoobag oo ahaa sirkaalkii ciidanka Hadarceser.
17 When David heard about that, he gathered all the Israeli soldiers, and they crossed the Jordan [River] and marched to Helam. There, the army of Syria (took their positions/arranged themselves for battle), and the battle started.
Taas waxaa loo soo sheegay Daa'uud, kolkaasuu reer binu Israa'iil oo dhan soo wada ururiyey, oo intuu ka soo gudbay Webi Urdun ayuu Xeelaam yimid. Markaasaa reer Suuriya isugu soo diyaariyeen inay Daa'uud la dagaallamaan, wayna la dirireen.
18 But the soldiers of Syria ran away from the Israeli soldiers. David [and his army] killed 700 of their chariot-drivers and 40,000 other soldiers. They also wounded Shobach, their commander, and he died there.
Oo reer Suuriyana way ka carareen reer binu Israa'iil. Daa'uudna wuxuu reer Suuriya ka laayay toddoba boqol oo gaadhifaras raggoodii iyo afartan kun oo fardooley ah, oo wuxuu dilay Shoobag oo ahaa sirkaalkii ciidankooda, halkaasuuna ku dhintay.
19 When all the kings who had been ruled by Hadadezer realized that they had been defeated by the Israeli [army], they made peace with the Israelis and agreed to accept David as their king. So [the army of] Syria was afraid to help [the army of] the Ammon people-group any more.
Oo markii boqorradii Hadarceser addoommada u ahaa oo dhammu ay arkeen in iyaga reer binu Israa'iil hortooda looga adkaaday ayay la nabdeen reer binu Israa'iil, wayna u adeegeen. Oo saas aawadeed reer Suuriya way ka cabsadeen inay mar dambe reer Cammoon caawiyaan.
