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.
At the time of the return of the year, at the time when kings go out, Joab led out the army and wasted the country of the children of Ammon, and came and besieged Rabbah. But David stayed at Jerusalem. Joab struck Rabbah, and overthrew 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
David took the crown of their king from off his head, and found it to weigh a talent of gold, and there were precious stones in it. It was set on David’s head, and he brought very much plunder out of the city.
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.
He brought out the people who were in it, and had them cut with saws, with iron picks, and with axes. David did so to all the cities of the children of Ammon. Then David and all the people returned 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 this, war arose at Gezer with the Philistines. Then Sibbecai the Hushathite killed Sippai, of the sons of the giant; and they were subdued.
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.
Again there was war with the Philistines; and Elhanan the son of Jair killed Lahmi the brother of Goliath the Gittite, the staff 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.
There was again war at Gath, where there was a man of great stature, who had twenty-four fingers and toes, six on each hand and six on each foot; and he also was born to the giant.
7 Yommuu inni Israaʼelin tuttuqettis Yoonaataan ilmi Shimeʼaa obboleessi Daawit isa ajjeese.
When he defied Israel, Jonathan the son of Shimea, David’s brother, killed him.
8 Isaan kunneen sanyiiwwan Raafaa warra Gaati keessa turanii dha; isaanis harka Daawitii fi harka namoota isaatiin dhuman.
These were born to the giant in Gath; and they fell by the hand of David and by the hand of his servants.
