1 Seenaa 20

1 Birraa keessa yeroo mootonni waraanaaf baʼanitti Yooʼaab humnoota waraanaa qajeelchee biyya Amoonotaa barbadeesse; ergasiis dhaqee Rabbaa marse; Daawit garuu Yerusaalemitti hafe. Yooʼaabis Raabbaa waraanee daaraa ishee godhe.

Now it happened that, after the course of a year, in the time when kings usually go forth to war, Joab gathered an army with experienced soldiers, and he laid waste to the land of the sons of Ammon. And he continued on and besieged Rabbah. But David was staying in Jerusalem when Joab struck Rabbah and destroyed it.

2 Daawitis mataa mootii isaanii irraa gonfoo fudhate; gonfoon sun hamma warqee taalaantii tokkoo ulfaatee dhagaawwan gati jabeeyyiis of irraa qaba ture; gonfichis mataa Daawit irra kaaʼame. Innis magaalaa sana keessaa boojuu akka malee baayʼee fudhatee

Then David took the crown of Milcom from his head, and he found in it the weight of one talent of gold, and very precious gems. And he made for himself a diadem from it. Also, he took the best spoils of the city, which were very many.

3 namoota achi keessa turanis gad yaasee akka isaan magaaziidhaan, gasoo sibiilaatii fi qottoodhaan hojii hojjetan godhe. Daawit magaalaawwan Amoonotaa hunda keessattis akkasuma godhe. Ergasii Daawitii fi loltoonni isaa hundinuu Yerusaalemitti ni deebiʼan.

Then he led away the people who were in it. And he caused plows, and sleds, and iron chariots to go over them, so much so that they were cut apart and crushed. So did David treat all the cities of the sons of Ammon. And he returned with all his people to Jerusalem.

4 Ergasii immoo lafa Geezir jedhamutti Filisxeemota wajjin waraanni baname. Yeroo sanattis Siibekaay namichi biyya Hushaa sun Siifaay namicha gosa tokko Refaayin ajjeese; Filisxeemonnis ni bulaniif.

After these things, a war was begun at Gezer against the Philistines, in which Sibbecai the Hushathite struck Sippai from the race of the Rephaim, and he humbled them.

5 Waraana biraa kan Filisxeemota wajjin godhame keessatti immoo Elhaanaan ilmi Yaaʼiir sun Lahemii obboleessa Gooliyaad namicha Gitii kan somaan eeboo isaa loosaa wayya dhooftuu gaʼu qabu sanaa ni ajjeese.

Also, another war was undertaken against the Philistines, in which Adeodatus, a son of the forest, a Bethlehemite, struck the brother of Goliath the Gittite, the wood of whose spear was like a weaver’s beam.

6 Ammas waraana Gaatitti godhame kan biraa keessatti namicha hamma wayii gaʼu kan tokkoo tokkoo harka isaa irraa quboota jaʼa jaʼa akkasumas tokkoo tokkoo miilla isaa irraa quboota jaʼa jaʼa walumatti quboota digdamii afur qabu tokkotu ture. Innis sanyii Raafaa keessaa dhalate.

Then too, another war occurred in Gath, in which there was a very tall man, having six digits, that is, all together twenty-four. This man too was born from the stock of the Rephaim.

7 Yommuu inni Israaʼelin tuttuqettis Yoonaataan ilmi Shimeʼaa obboleessi Daawit isa ajjeese.

He blasphemed Israel. And Jonathan, the son of Shimea, the brother of David, struck him down.

8 Isaan kunneen sanyiiwwan Raafaa warra Gaati keessa turanii dha; isaanis harka Daawitii fi harka namoota isaatiin dhuman.

These were the sons of the Rephaim in Gath, who fell by the hand of David and his servants.
