1 Da bazara, a lokacin da sarakuna kan tafi yaƙi, Yowab ya jagorance mayaƙa. Ya lalatar da ƙasar Ammonawa ya kuma tafi Rabba ya yi mata kwanto, amma Dawuda ya zauna a Urushalima. Yowab ya yaƙi Rabba, ya kuma bar ta kango.
[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.
2 Dawuda ya ɗauki rawani daga kan sarkinsu, nauyinsa ya kai talenti na zinariya, aka kuma yi masa ado da duwatsu masu daraja, sai Dawuda kuwa ya sa a kansa. Ya kuma kwashi ganima mai yawa daga birnin
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.

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.
4 Ana nan, sai yaƙi ya ɓarke a Gezer tsakanin Isra’ila da Filistiyawa. Sai Sibbekai mutumin Husha ya kashe Siffai, ɗaya daga cikin zuriyar Refahiyawa, ta haka kuma aka ci Filistiyawa da yaƙi.
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.
5 Yaƙi kuma ya sāke tashi tsakanin Isra’ilawa da Filistiyawa, Elhanan ɗan Yayir ya kashe Lahmi ɗan’uwan Goliyat mutumin Gat, wanda yake riƙe da māshi mai sandan masaƙa.
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.
6 Aka sāke yin wani yaƙin kuma, wanda ya faru a Gat, akwai wani ƙaton mutum mai yatsotsi shida a kowane hannu da kuma yatsotsi shida a kowace ƙafa, yatsotsi ashirin da huɗu ke nan. Shi ma daga zuriyar Rafa ce.
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].
7 Sa’ad da ya yi wa Isra’ila ba’a, sai Yonatan ɗan Shimeya, ɗan’uwan Dawuda ya kashe shi.
When he made fun of the soldiers of Israel, Jonathan, the son of David’s [older] brother Shimea, killed him.
8 Waɗannan su ne zuriyar Rafa a Gat, Dawuda da mutanensa sun kashe su.
Those were some of the descendants of [the] Rapha [giants] who had lived in Gath, who were killed [MTY] by David and his soldiers.
