Samuu'Eel Labaad 8
1 Oo taas dabadeed ayaa Daa'uud reer Falastiin laayay, oo jebiyey, oo Daa'uudna wuxuu gacantii reer Falastiin ka qaaday magaalada la yidhaahdo Meteg Ammaah.
Some time later, David’s army attacked the Philistia [army] and defeated them. They took control over the entire Philistia area.
2 Oo wuxuu kaloo laayay reer Moo'aab, oo intuu dhulka jiifiyey ayuu xadhig ku qiyaasay, oo markaasuu laba xadhig wuxuu u qiyaasay in la dilo, xadhig buuxana wuu la hadhay iyagoo nool. Oo reer Moo'aabna addoommay Daa'uud u noqdeen, oo baad bay u keeneen.
David’s army also defeated the army of the Moab people-group. David forced their soldiers to lie down on the ground [close to each other]. His men killed two out of every three of them. The [other] Moab people [were forced to] accept David as their ruler, and they were forced to give to him [every year the] payment/tax [that he demanded].
3 Daa'uudna wuxuu kaloo dilay boqorkii Soobaah, oo ahaa Hadadceser ina Rexob, intuu ku socday inuu dowladnimadiisii ku soo ceshado Webiga agtiisa.
David’s army also defeated [the army of] Hadadezer, the son of Rehob, who ruled [the state of] Zobah [in Syria]. That happened when David went to rule again over the area at [the upper part of] the Euphrates River.
4 Oo Daa'uud wuxuu isagii ka qabsaday kun iyo toddoba boqol oo fardooley ah, iyo labaatan kun oo nin oo lug ah; oo Daa'uudna wuxuu boqno jaray fardihii gaadhiyada waday oo dhan, laakiinse iyagii boqol gaadhifaras buu uga reebay.
David’s army captured 1,700 of Hadadezer’s soldiers who rode on horses, and 20,000 of his other soldiers. They also crippled/hamstrung most of the horses that pulled the chariots, but they left/spared enough horses to [pull] 100 chariots.
5 Oo reer Suuriyihii Dimishaqna markay u yimaadeen inay u hiiliyaan boqorkii Soobaah oo ahaa Hadadceser, Daa'uud wuxuu reer Suuriya ka laayay laba iyo labaatan kun oo nin.
When [the army of] Syria came from Damascus [city] to help King 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 guul buu siiyey meel kastoo uu tegeyba.
Then David stationed (groups of his soldiers/army camps) in their area, and the people of Syria were forced to accept David as their ruler, and to give to David’s government [every year] the payment/tax that he demanded. And Yahweh enabled David’s [army] to win victories wherever they went.
7 Markaasaa Daa'uud soo qaaday gaashaammadii dahabka ahaa oo ay wateen addoommadii Hadadceser, wuxuuna keenay Yeruusaalem.
David’s soldiers took the gold shields that were carried by Hadadezer’s officials, and brought them to Jerusalem.
8 Oo magaalooyinkii Hadadceser oo ahaa Betax, iyo Beerootay Boqor Daa'uud wuxuu ka soo qaaday naxaas aad iyo aad u badan.
They also brought [to Jerusalem] a lot of bronze [that they found] in Betah and Berothai, two cities that King Hadadezer [had previously] ruled.
9 Oo Tocii oo ahaa boqorkii Xamaad markuu maqlay in Daa'uud laayay ciidankii Hadadceser oo dhan,
When Toi, the king of the Hamath [city in Syria], heard that David’s [army] had defeated the entire army of King Hadadezer,
10 ayaa Tocii wiilkiisii Yooraam u soo diray inuu soo salaamo Boqor Daa'uud oo uu u soo duceeyo, maxaa yeelay, wuxuu la diriray oo dilay Hadadceser; waayo, Hadadceser wuxuu la diriri jiray Tocii. Oo Yooraamna wuxuu keenay weelal lacag ah, iyo weelal dahab ah iyo weelal naxaas ah,
he sent his son Joram to greet King David and to (congratulate him/say that he was happy) about his army defeating Hadadezer’s army, which Toi’s [army] had fought many times. Joram brought to David many items/gifts made from gold, silver, and bronze.
11 oo kuwaasna Boqor Daa'uud wuxuu quduus uga dhigay Rabbiga, oo wuxuu ku daray lacagtii iyo dahabkii uu quduuska ka dhigay oo uu ka soo dhacay quruumihii uu jebiyey oo dhan;
King David dedicated all those items to Yahweh. He also dedicated the silver and gold which his army had taken from the nations that they had conquered.
12 kuwaas oo ahaa reer Suuriya, iyo reer Moo'aab, iyo reer Cammoon, iyo reer Falastiin, iyo reer Camaaleq, iyo dhicii uu boqorkii Soobaah oo ahaa Hadadceser ina Rexob ka helay.
They had taken items from the Edom people-group and the Moab people-group, from the Ammon people-group, from the Philistia people, and from [the descendants of] Amalek, as well as from the people that Hadadezer [previously] ruled.
13 Oo Daa'uudna magac buu isu yeelay markuu ka soo noqday layntii uu reer Suuriya Dooxadii Cusbada kaga laayay siddeed iyo tobanka kun oo nin.
When David returned [after defeating the armies of Syria], he became more famous because his army killed 18,000 soldiers from the Edom people-group in the Salt Valley [near the Dead Sea].
14 Oo wuxuu Edom dhex dhigay rugo askareed; oo Edom oo dhanna wuxuu 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.
David stationed (groups of his soldiers/army camps) throughout the Edom area, and forced the people there to accept him as their king. Yahweh enabled David’s [army] to win battles wherever they went.
15 Oo Daa'uudna reer binu Israa'iil oo dhan buu u taliyey; oo Daa'uud wuxuu dadkiisii oo dhan ugu gar qaybshay xukun iyo caddaalad.
David ruled over all the Israeli people, and he always did for them what was fair and just.
16 Oo waxaa ciidanka u sarrayn jiray Yoo'aab oo ay Seruuyaah dhashay; oo taariikhdana waxaa qori jiray Yehooshaafaad ina Axiiluud,
Joab was the army commander; Jehoshaphat, the son of Ahilud, was the man who reported to the people everything that David decided that they should do;
17 oo wadaaddona waxaa ahaa Saadooq ina Axiituub, iyo Axiimeleg ina Aabyaataar, oo Seraayaahna wuxuu ahaa karraani;
Zadok the son of Ahitub and Ahimelech the son of Abiathar were the priests; Seraiah was the official secretary;
18 Benaayaah ina Yehooyaadaacna wuxuu u taliyey reer Kereetiim iyo reer Feleetii, oo Daa'uud wiilashiisuna waxay ahaayeen wasiiro.
Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was the commander of (David’s bodyguards/the men who protected the king); and David’s sons were priests (OR, his administrators/advisors).
