Taariikhdii Kowaad 18
1 Oo taas dabadeed ayaa Daa'uud reer Falastiin laayay oo jebiyey, oo Gad iyo magaalooyinkeediiba gacantii reer Falastiin wuu ka qaaday.
Some time later, David’s [army] attacked the army of Philistia and defeated them. They captured Gath [city] and the surrounding villages.
2 Oo wuxuu kaloo laayay reer Moo'aab, oo reer Moo'aabna addoommay Daa'uud u noqdeen, oo baad bay u keeneen.
His [army] also defeated [the army of] the Moab [people-group]. The people were forced to accept David as their ruler, and also to pay money [each year to David’s government, in order that David’s army would protect them].
3 Oo ilaa Xamaad Daa'uud wuxuu dilayay boqorkii Soobaah oo ahaa Hadarceser, intuu ku socday inuu dowladnimadiisa ku ag dhiso Webi Yufraad.
David’s [army] also fought against [the army of] Hadadezer, the king of [the] Zobah [region in Syria] near Hamath [city], when Hadadezer was trying to establish control over the area near the Euphrates River.
4 Oo Daa'uud wuxuu isagii ka qabsaday kun gaadhifaras, iyo toddoba kun oo fardooley ah, iyo labaatan kun oo nin oo lug ah, oo Daa'uudna wuxuu boqno jaray fardihii gaadhiyada waday oo dhan, laakiinse boqol gaadhifaras buu uga reebay.
David’s [army] captured 1,000 of Hadadezer’s chariots, 7,000 chariot-drivers, and 20,000 soldiers. They hamstrung/crippled most of their horses; there were only 100 horses that they did not cripple.
5 Oo reer Suuriyihii Dimishaqna markay u yimaadeen inay u hiiliyaan boqorkii Soobaah oo ahaa Hadarceser, Daa'uud wuxuu iyagii ka laayay laba iyo labaatan kun oo nin.
When the army of Syria came from Damascus [city] to help Hadadezer’s [army], David’s soldiers killed 22,000 of them.
6 Daa'uudna wuxuu reer Dimishaq oo Suuriya jooga dhex dhigay rugo askareed, oo reer Suuriyana Daa'uud bay addoommo u noqdeen oo baad u keeneen. Oo Rabbiguna Daa'uud buu siiyey meel kastoo uu tegeyba.
Then David stationed groups of his soldiers in Damascus, and the people of Syria were forced to accept David as their ruler, and to pay to David’s government [each year] the payment/tax that he demanded. And Yahweh enabled David’s [army] to win battles everywhere they went.
7 Markaasaa Daa'uud soo qaaday gaashaammadii dahabka ahaa oo ay wateen addoommadii Hadarceser, wuxuuna keenay Yeruusaalem.
David soldiers took the gold shields that were carried by the officers of Hadadezer’s [army] and brought them to Jerusalem.
8 Oo magaalooyinkii Hadarceser oo ahaa Tibxad iyo Kuun Daa'uud wuxuu ka soo qaaday naxaas aad u badan, taasoo uu Sulaymaan ka sameeyey berkeddii naxaasta ahayd iyo tiirarkii iyo weelashii naxaasta ahaa.
They also brought from Tebah (OR, Tibhath) and Cun, two towns that belonged to Hadadezer, a lot of bronze, which [David’s son] Solomon [later] used to make the huge bronze basin and the pillars and other bronze items [for the temple].
9 Oo Tocuu oo ahaa boqorkii Xamaad markuu maqlay in Daa'uud laayay Hadarceser oo ahaa boqorkii Soobaah ciidankiisii oo dhan
When Tou, the king of Hamath [city in Syria], heard that David’s [army] had defeated the entire army of King Hadadezer,
10 ayuu Daa'uud wiilkiisii Hadooraam u soo diray inuu soo salaamo oo uu u soo duceeyo, maxaa yeelay, wuxuu la diriray oo dilay Hadarceser, waayo, Hadarceser wuxuu la diriri jiray Tocuu, oo wuxuu keenay weelal cayn kasta ah oo ah dahab iyo lacag iyo naxaasba.
he sent his son Hadoram to King David, to greet him and (congratulate him/tell him that he was happy) about his defeating Hadadezer’s army, which had been fighting [the army of] Tou. Hadoram brought to David many items/gifts made of gold, silver, and bronze.
11 Oo kuwaasna Boqor Daa'uud wuxuu quduus uga dhigay Rabbiga, oo wuxuu ku daray lacagtii iyo dahabkii uu ka soo dhacay quruumihii oo dhan, kuwaasoo ahaa reer Edom, iyo reer Moo'aab, iyo reer Cammoon, iyo reer Falastiin, iyo reer Camaaleq.
King David dedicated those things to Yahweh, like he had done with the silver and gold that his soldiers had taken from [the] Edom and Moab [people-groups], and from the Ammon people-group and from the people of Philistia, and from [the descendants of] Amalek.
12 Oo weliba Abiishay oo ay Seruuyaah dhashayna wuxuu reer Edom Dooxadii Cusbada kaga laayay siddeed iyo toban kun oo nin.
[One of David’s army commanders, ] Abishai, whose mother was Zeruiah, went with his army and killed 18,000 soldiers from Edom in the Salt Valley.
13 Oo isna wuxuu Edom dhex dhigay rugo askareed, oo reer Edom oo dhammuna Daa'uud bay addoommo u noqdeen. Oo Rabbiguna Daa'uud guul buu siiyey meel kastoo uu tegeyba.
Then David stationed groups of his soldiers there in Edom, and the people of Edom were forced to accept David as their king and to pay money to David’s government [every year]. And Yahweh enabled David’s [army] to win battles wherever they went.
14 Oo Daa'uudna reer binu Israa'iil oo dhan buu u taliyey, oo wuxuu dadkiisa oo dhan ugu gar qaybshay xukun iyo caddaalad.
David ruled over all the Israeli people, and he always did for them what was just and fair.
15 Oo waxaa ciidanka u sarrayn jiray Yoo'aab oo ay Seruuyaah dhashay, oo taariikhdana waxaa qori jiray Yehooshaafaad ina Axiiluud,
Zeruiah’s son Joab was the chief army commander. Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud was the record-keeper.
16 oo wadaaddona waxaa ahaa Saadooq ina Axiituub, iyo Abiimeleg ina Aabyaataar, Shawshaana wuxuu ahaa karraani.
Zadok the son of Ahitub and Ahimelech the son of Abiathar were the Supreme Priests. Shavsha was the official secretary.
17 Oo Benaayaah ina Yehooyaadaacna wuxuu u taliyey reer Kereetiim iyo reer Feleetii, oo Daa'uud wiilashiisuna waxay ahaayeen madaxda boqorka u dhow.
Benaiah the son of Jehoiada ruled over the Kereth and Peleth groups [who were David’s bodyguards]. And David’s sons were his most important officials.
