< Samuu'Eel Labaad 5 >

1 Markaasaa qabiilooyinkii reer binu Israa'iil oo dhammu waxay Daa'uud ugu yimaadeen Xebroon, oo intay la hadleen ayay ku yidhaahdeen, Annagu waxaannu nahay laftaada iyo jidhkaaga.
Then [the leaders of] all the tribes of Israel came to David at Hebron, and said to him, “Listen, we have the same ancestors [IDM] that you do.
2 Waagii hore oo Saa'uul boqorka noo ahaa, adiguu ahaa kii reer binu Israa'iil dibadda u bixin jiray oo gudaha soo gelin jiray; oo Rabbiguna wuxuu kugu yidhi, Adigu waxaad quudin doontaa dadkayga reer binu Israa'iil, oo amiir baanad u ahaan doontaa reer binu Israa'iil.
In the past, when Saul was our king, it was you who led our Israeli soldiers [in our battles]. You are the one to whom Yahweh promised, ‘You will be the leader [MET] of my people; you will be their king.’”
3 Sidaas aawadeed odayaashii reer binu Israa'iil oo dhammu waxay boqorkii ugu yimaadeen Xebroon; oo Boqor Daa'uudna wuxuu iyagii axdi kula dhigtay Xebroon Rabbiga hortiisa, oo iyana waxay Daa'uud u boqreen inuu ahaado boqor reer binu Israa'iil u taliya.
So while Yahweh was listening, all those leaders of the people of Israel declared there at Hebron [that David would be their king]. And David made a sacred agreement with them. They anointed him [with olive oil to set him apart] to be the king of the Israeli people.
4 Oo Daa'uudna soddon sannadood buu jiray markuu bilaabay inuu boqor noqdo, oo wuxuuna boqor ahaa afartan sannadood.
David was 30 years old when he became their king. He ruled them for 40 years.
5 Oo reer Yahuudahna wuxuu Xebroon ugu talinayay toddoba sannadood iyo lix bilood, oo reer Israa'iil oo dhan iyo reer Yahuudahna wuxuu Yeruusaalem ugu talinayay saddex iyo soddon sannadood.
In Hebron he ruled over the tribe of Judah for seven and a half years, and in Jerusalem he ruled over all the people of Judah and Israel for 33 years.
6 Oo boqorkii iyo raggiisiiba waxay tageen Yeruusaalem, inay ku duulaan reer Yebuus oo ahaa dadkii dalka degganaa, kuwaasoo la hadlay Daa'uud oo ku yidhi, Adoo kuwa indhaha la' iyo curyaannada qaada mooyaane halkan iman maysid, waayo, waxay u maleeyeen inuusan Daa'uud halkaas iman karin.
[One day] King David and his soldiers went to Jerusalem to fight against the Jebus people-group who lived there. The people there thought that David’s army would not be able to capture the city, so they sent a message to David, saying “Your army will never be able to get inside our city! Even the blind and crippled people will be able to chase you away!”
7 Habase yeeshee Daa'uud waa qabsaday qalcaddii Siyoon, oo taasuna waa magaaladii Daa'uud.
But David’s army captured the fortress on Zion [Hill], [and later it was known as] David’s City.
8 Markaasaa Daa'uud maalintaas wuxuu yidhi, Ku alla kii reer Yebuus laayaa, ha tago meesha biyomareenka ah, oo ha ku laayo curyaannada iyo indhoolayaasha oo neceb Daa'uud naftiisa. Sidaas daraaddeed waxay leeyihiin, Indhoolayaasha iyo curyaannadu yaanay guriga soo gelin.
On that day, David said [to his soldiers], “Those who want to get rid of the Jebus people-group should go through the water tunnel [to enter the city]. Then they can attack those people whom I [SYN] detest—[and we will find out if any] blind and crippled people [will be able to stop them]!” That is why people say, “Blind and crippled people cannot enter Yahweh’s temple.”
9 Oo Daa'uudna qalcaddii ayuu degay, wuxuuna u bixiyey magaaladii Daa'uud. Oo Daa'uudna wuxuu dhisay hareeraheedii iyo tan iyo Millo ilaa gudaha.
[After] David [and his soldiers captured] the city with its strong walls around it, he lived there, and they named it ‘David’s City’. David [and his soldiers] built the city around the fortress, starting where the [land was (filled in/terraces) on the east side of the hill].
10 Oo Daa'uudna aad iyo aad buu u sii xoogaystay; waayo, waxaa isaga la jiray Rabbiga ah Ilaaha ciidammada.
David continued to become more and more powerful/influential, because the Almighty Commander of the armies of angels was with/helping him.
11 Markaasaa Xiiraam oo ahaa boqorkii Turos ayaa Daa'uud wargeeyayaal u soo diray, iyo geedo kedar la yidhaahdo, iyo nijaarro iyo wastaadyo, oo iyana guri bay Daa'uud u dhiseen.
[One day] Hiram, the king of Tyre [city], sent ambassadors/messengers to David [to talk about making agreements between their countries]. Hiram agreed to provide cedar trees [to make lumber], and also that he would send carpenters and masons, to build a palace for David.
12 Oo Daa'uudna wuxuu ogaaday in Rabbigu isaga u taagay inuu ahaado boqor u taliya reer binu Israa'iil, iyo inuu boqortooyadiisa u sarraysiiyey dadkiisa reer binu Israa'iil aawadood.
His doing that caused David to realize that Yahweh truly had appointed him to be the king of Israel, and that Yahweh was going to cause his kingdom to prosper, because Yahweh loved the Israeli people, whom [he had chosen to] belong to him.
13 Oo Daa'uudna weliba Yeruusaalem ayuu ka guursaday addoommo iyo naago kale markuu Xebroon ka yimid dabadeed, oo weliba waxaa Daa'uud u dhashay wiilal iyo gabdho.
After David moved from Hebron to Jerusalem, he took more slave women to be his second-class wives, and he also married other women. [All of those women] gave birth to more sons and daughters.
14 Oo kuwanuna waa kuwii isaga Yeruusaalem ugu dhashay magacyadoodii: Shammuuca, iyo Shoobaab, iyo Naataan, iyo Sulaymaan,
The names of the sons who were born in Jerusalem were Shammua, Shobab, Nathan, Solomon,
15 iyo Yibxaar, iyo Eliishuuca, iyo Nefeg, iyo Yaafiica,
Ibhar, Elishua, Nepheg, Japhia,
16 iyo Eliishaamaac, iyo Elyaadaac, iyo Eliifeled.
Elishama, Eliada, and Eliphelet.
17 Oo reer Falastiinna markay maqleen in Daa'uud loo subkay inuu boqor u ahaado reer binu Israa'iil ayay reer Falastiin oo dhammu u soo baxeen inay Daa'uud doondoonaan; oo Daa'uudna taas wuu maqlay, markaasuu dhufayskii hoos ugu dhaadhacay.
When the Philistia people heard that David had been appointed to be the king of Israel, their army went up [toward Jerusalem] to try to capture David. But David heard that they were coming, so he went down to another fortified place.
18 Haddaba reer Falastiin way yimaadeen, oo waxay ku firdheen dooxadii Refaa'iim.
The [army of] Philistia arrived at Rephaim Valley [southwest of Jerusalem] and spread all over the valley.
19 Markaasaa Daa'uud Rabbiga wax weyddiiyey, oo yidhi, Miyaan reer Falastiin ku kacaa? Miyaad ii soo gacangelinaysaa? Markaasaa Rabbigu wuxuu Daa'uud ku yidhi, Haah, ku kac, waayo, hubaal reer Falastiin waan kuu soo gacangelinayaa.
David asked Yahweh, “Should [my men and] I attack the Philistia army? Will you enable us to defeat them [IDM]?” Yahweh replied, “Yes, attack them, because I will certainly enable your army to defeat them. [IDM]”
20 Markaasaa Daa'uud yimid Bacal Feraasiim, oo halkaasaa Daa'uud iyagii ku laayay, oo yidhi, Rabbigu cadaawayaashaydii ayuu hortayda degdeg ugu qabtay, sida biyaha butaacayaa u degdegaan oo kale. Sidaas daraaddeed meeshaas magaceedii wuxuu u bixiyey Bacal Feraasiim.
So David [and his army] went to [where the Philistia army was], and there they defeated them. Then David said, “Yahweh has burst through my enemies like a flood.” [SIM] So that place is called ‘Lord of Bursting-through’.
21 Iyana halkaasay sanamyadoodii kaga tageen, waxaana qaaday Daa'uud iyo raggiisii.
The Philistia men left their idols there; so David and his soldiers took them away.
22 Haddana reer Falastiin mar kalay soo kaceen oo dooxadii Refaa'iim ku firdheen.
Then the Philistia [army] returned to Rephaim Valley and spread all over the valley.
23 Oo Daa'uudna markuu Rabbiga wax weyddiiyey ayaa Rabbigu ku yidhi, Waa inaadan ku kicin, laakiinse xagga dambe ka mar oo waxaad ku weerartaa meel ka soo hor jeedda geedaha bukaa la yidhaahdo.
So again David asked Yahweh [if his army should attack them]. But Yahweh replied, “Do not attack them [from here]. Tell your men to go around them and attack them from the other side, near the balsam trees.
24 Oo markaad sanqadha askarta socodkeeda ka maqashid geedaha bukaa dushooda, kolkaas waa inaad dhaqsataa, waayo, Rabbigu waa kaaga hor baxay inuu ciidanka reer Falastiin laayo.
When you hear something in the tops of the balsam trees that sounds like [an army] marching, attack them, because I will have gone ahead of you [to enable your army] to defeat their army.”
25 Oo Daa'uudna sidii buu yeelay sidii Rabbigu ku amray, oo wuxuu reer Falastiin ku laynayay ilaa Gebac iyo tan iyo Geser.
So David did what Yahweh told him to do, and his [army] defeated the Philistia army from Geba [city] all the way [west] to Gezer [city].
