Some men from the tribe of Gad [east of the Jordan River] joined David when he was at his fortress in [the caves in] the desert. They were brave warriors who were trained for fighting battles and able to use shields and spears well.

14 Kuwaas oo ahaa reer Gaad waxay ahaayeen saraakiishii ciidanka, oo kii iyaga ugu yaraa wuxuu u dhigmaa boqol nin, kii ugu weynaana kun nin.
Those men from the tribe of Gad were all army officers. Some of them commanded 1,000 soldiers, and some of them commanded 100 soldiers.
15 Oo kuwaasu waxay ahaayeen kuwii bishii kowaad ka gudbay Webi Urdun oo buuxdhaafay oo qararka oo dhan ka daatay, oo iyagu waxay kala eryeen dadkii dooxooyinka degganaa oo dhan, xagga bari, iyo xagga galbeedba.
They crossed [to the west side of] the Jordan [River] during March, [at the time of the year] when the river was flooded. They chased from there all the people who lived in the valleys on both sides of the river.
16 Oo waxaa dhufayska Daa'uud ugu yimid reer Benyaamiin iyo reer Yahuudah qaarkooda.
Some other men from the tribe of Benjamin and from Judah also came to David in his fortress.
17 Markaasaa Daa'uud u baxay inuu iyaga ka hor tago, oo intuu jawaabay ayuu ku yidhi, Haddaad nabdoon iigu timaadeen inaad i caawisaan qalbigaygu wuu idinla jiri doonaa, laakiinse haddaad iigu timaadeen inaad cadaawayaashayda ii gacangelisaan, Ilaahii awowayaasheen taas ha fiiriyo oo ha canaanto, maxaa yeelay, gacmahayga wax xumaan ahu kuma jiraan.
David went out [of the cave] to meet them and said to them, “If you have come peacefully to help me, I am eager to have you join with me. But if you have come to enable my enemies to capture me, even though I [SYN] have not done anything to harm you, I hope/wish that the God whom our ancestors (worshiped/belonged to) will see it and condemn/punish you.”
18 Markaasaa ruuxii ku soo degay Camaasay oo soddonkii nin madax u ahaa, oo wuxuu yidhi, Daa'uudow, ina Yesayow, annagu waxaannu nahay kuwaagii, waannuna ku garab taagan nahay. Nabad. Nabad ha kula jirto, oo kaalmeeyayaashaadana nabad ha la jirto, waayo, waxaa ku caawiya Ilaahaaga. Markaasaa Daa'uud iyagii soo dhoweeyey oo wuxuu ka dhigay saraakiishii guutada.
Then [God’s] Spirit came upon Amasai, who was another leader of the thirty [greatest warriors], and he said, “David, we want to be with you; you who are the son of Jesse, we will join you. We know that things will go very well [DOU] for you and for those who are with you, because your God is helping you.”
19 Oo weliba reer Manasehna qaar baa Daa'uud geestiisa soo maray markuu raacay reer Falastiin oo Saa'uul dagaal ugu yimid, laakiinse iyagii ma ay caawiyin, waayo, saraakiishii reer Falastiin talay isagii ku eryeen, oo waxay isyidhaahdeen, Isagu intuu madaxyadeenna khatar geliyo ayuu sayidkiisii Saa'uul garab geli doonaa.
So David welcomed those men, and he appointed them to be leaders of his soldiers. Some men from the tribe of Manasseh also joined David when he went with the soldiers of Philistia to fight against Saul’s [army]. But David and his men did not really help the army of Philistia. After the leaders of Philistia talked [about David and his soldiers], they sent David away. They said, “If David joins his master Saul again, we will all be killed {his army will kill all of us}!”
20 Oo markuu Siiqlag tegey waxaa geestiisa reer Manaseh ka soo maray Cadnaah, iyo Yoosaabaad, iyo Yediica'eel, iyo Miikaa'eel, iyo Yoosaabaad, iyo Eliihuu, iyo Silletay, oo dhammaantood ahaa saraakiil u taliya kun kun reer Manaseh ah.
When David went to Ziklag, these were the men from the tribe of Manasseh who went with him: Adnah, Jozabad, Jediael, Michael, [another man whose name was] Jozabad, Elihu, and Zillethai. Each of them had been a commander of 1,000 men [in Saul’s army].
21 Oo waxay Daa'uud ka caawiyeen guutadii wax dhacaysay, waayo, waxay ahaayeen rag xoog badan oo ahaa saraakiishii ciidanka.
They were all brave soldiers, and they helped David to fight against the groups of men who roamed throughout the country, robbing people. So those men became commanders in David’s army.
22 Waayo, maalin ka maalin waxaa Daa'uud u iman jiray kuwo isaga caawiya, ilamaa ay noqdeen ciidan weyn, oo ah sidii ciidanka Ilaah.
Every day more men joined David’s men, and his army became large, like [SIM] the army of God (OR, a very huge army).
23 Oo tanuna waa tiradii kuwii madaxda u ahaa kuwii dagaalka hubka u lahaa, oo Daa'uud ugu yimid Xebroon inay boqortooyada Saa'uul isaga u rogaan sidii uu eraygii Rabbigu ahaa.
