1 Markaasaa Xiiraam oo ahaa boqorkii Turos ayaa Daa'uud wargeeyayaal u soo diray, iyo geedo kedar la yidhaahdo, iyo wastaadyo, iyo nijaarro, inay guri u dhisaan.
One day Hiram, the king of Tyre [city], sent some messengers to David [to talk about making an agreement between their countries]. Then Hiram sent cedar logs, bricklayers, and carpenters to build a palace for David.
2 Oo Daa'uud wuxuu ogaaday in Rabbigu isaga u taagay inuu ahaado boqor u taliya reer binu Israa'iil, waayo, boqortooyadiisii waa la sarraysiiyey dadkiisa reer binu Israa'iil aawadood.
[When that happened, ] David knew that Yahweh had truly caused him to be the king of Israel, and that he had caused his kingdom to be greatly respected. Yahweh did this because [he loved] his Israeli people.
3 Oo Daa'uudna naago kale buu Yeruusaalem ku guursaday, oo wuxuu dhalay wiilal iyo gabdho kale.
David married more women in Jerusalem, and [those women] gave birth to more sons and daughters for him.
4 Oo carruurtii Yeruusaalem ugu dhalatay magacyadoodiina waa kuwan: Shammuuca, iyo Shoobaab, iyo Naataan, iyo Sulaymaan,
The names of the children that were born to him there in Jerusalem are Shammua, Shobab, Nathan, Solomon,
5 iyo Yibxaar, iyo Eliishuuca, iyo Elfaaled,
Ibhar, Elishua, Elpelet,
6 iyo Nogah, iyo Nefeg, iyo Yaafiica,
Nogah, Nepheg, Japhia,
7 iyo Eliishaamaac, iyo Becelyaadaac, iyo Eliifeled.
Elishama, Beeliada, and Eliphelet.
8 Oo reer Falastiinna markay maqleen in Daa'uud loo subkay inuu boqor u ahaado reer binu Israa'iil oo dhan ayay reer Falastiin oo dhammu u soo baxeen inay Daa'uud doondoonaan, oo Daa'uudna taas wuu maqlay, oo isna iyagii ayuu ku baxay.
When the army of Philistia heard that David has been appointed to be king of all of Israel, they came to capture him. But David heard that they were coming, so he [and his soldiers] marched out to fight against them.
9 Haddaba reer Falastiin way yimaadeen, oo waxay ku firdheen dooxadii Refaa'iim.
The army of Philistia had attacked the people in the Rephaim Valley [southwest of Jerusalem] and had robbed them.
10 Markaasaa Daa'uud Rabbiga wax weyddiiyey oo yidhi, Miyaan reer Falastiin ku kacaa? Miyaad ii soo gacangelinaysaa? Markaasaa Rabbigu wuxuu ku yidhi, Haah, ku kac, waayo, iyaga waan kuu soo gacangelinayaa.
David asked God, “Should [my men and] I go and attack the army of Philistia? [If we go, ] will you enable us to defeat [IDM] them?” Yahweh replied, “Yes, go, and I will enable you to defeat [IDM] them.”
11 Hadda waxay yimaadeen Bacal Feraasiim, oo halkaasaa Daa'uud iyagii ku laayay, oo Daa'uud wuxuu yidhi, Rabbigu cadaawayaashaydii ayuu gacantayda degdeg ugu qabtay, sida biyaha butaacayaa u degdegaan oo kale. Sidaas daraaddeed meeshaas magaceedii waxaa loo bixiyey Bacal Feraasiim.
So David and his men went up to a town where the soldiers of Philistia were staying and defeated them. Then David said, “God has enabled me [and my soldiers] to overwhelm my enemies like [MET] a flood.” So they named that place {That place is called} ‘Baal-Perazim’ [which means ‘Yahweh breaks through’].
12 Iyana halkaasay ilaahyadoodii kaga tageen, markaasaa Daa'uud amar ku bixiyey in la gubo.
[As the soldiers of Philistia fled], they left their idols there. So David commanded his soldiers to burn those idols.
13 Haddana reer Falastiin mar kalay dooxadii ku soo firdheen.
But soon the army of Philistia attacked the people in that valley again.
14 Oo Daa'uudna mar kaluu Rabbiga wax weyddiiyey, oo Ilaahna wuxuu ku yidhi, Waa inaanad ka daba kicin, laakiinse iyaga ka leexo, oo waxaad ku weerartaa meel ka soo hor jeedda geedaha bukaa la yidhaahdo.
So again David prayed to God [to ask him what he should do], and God replied, saying “Do not attack the army of Philistia from the front. Instead, go around them, and attack them [from the rear] in front of the balsam trees.
15 Oo markaad sanqadha askarta socodkeeda ka maqashid geedaha bukaa dushooda, markaas dagaalka hore ugu bax, waayo, Ilaah waa kaaga hor baxay inuu ciidanka reer Falastiin laayo.
When you hear something in the tops of the balsam trees that sounds like [soldiers] marching, attack them. I, God, will have gone ahead of you to enable you to defeat the army of Philistia.”
16 Oo Daa'uudna wuxuu yeelay sidii Ilaah ku amray, oo waxay ciidankii reer Falastiin ku laynayeen ilaa Gibecoon iyo tan iyo Geser.
So David did what God commanded him to do, and he and his army defeated the army of Philistia, all the way from Gibeon [city in the east] to Gezer [city in the west].
17 Oo Daa'uud warkiisiina wuxuu gaadhay dalalka oo dhan, oo Rabbiguna cabsi isaga ka timid ayuu ku riday quruumihii kale oo dhan.
So David became famous in all the nearby countries, and Yahweh caused [the leaders of] all the [nearby] nations to be afraid of him.
