[1] Wa wakit Dawuud kammal kalaamah maʼa Chaawuul, Yuunataan galbah allag foog Dawuud wa hu habbaah misil nafsah.
[2] Wa min al-yoom da, Chaawuul khatta Dawuud maʼaayah wa ma khallaah yigabbil bakaan abuuh.
[3] Wa Yuunataan sawwa alaakha maʼa Dawuud achaan hu habbaah misil nafsah.
[4] Wa Yuunataan salla jallaabiiytah wa antaaha le Dawuud. Wa antaah khulgaanah hana l-askar wa seefah wa nubbaalah wa hizaamah kula.
[5] Wa fi ayyi muhimma al-Chaawuul yirassilah foogha, Dawuud yanjah. Wa Chaawuul khattaah khaayid fi l-rujaal al-muhaaribiin. Wa kulla l-chaʼab wa rujaal Chaawuul raadooh le Dawuud.
[6] Wa baʼad Dawuud katal Jaaluut al-Filisti, humman gabbalo min bakaan al-harib wa l-awiin al-min kulla hillaal balad Israaʼiil maragan le yilaagan al-malik Chaawuul be khine wa liʼib wa nagaagiir wa jigindiiye wa zakhraat.
[7] Wa hinna kullihin ke gaaʼidaat yalʼaban wa yikhannan wa yuguulan : «Chaawuul katal aalaaf wa Dawuud katal acharaat al-aalaaf !»
[8] Wa l-khine da harrag galib Chaawuul wa hu ziʼil zaʼal chadiid wa fakkar wa gaal : «Kan hinna yuguulan Dawuud katal acharaat al-aalaaf wa ana katalt aalaaf bas, faddal leyah illa l-muluk !»
[9] Wa min al-yoom da, Chaawuul kirihah le Dawuud.
[10] Wa ambaakir, ruuh fasle min al-ilaahaat jaat fi Chaawuul. Wa hu gaaʼid yitnabbaʼ fi beetah wa Dawuud kamaan gaaʼid yudugg fi jigindiiytah misil awwal. Wa Chaawuul indah harba fi iidah.
[11] Wa tawwaali, zaragah le Dawuud wa gaal fi nafsah : «Khalli nilassigah fi l-durdur !» Laakin Dawuud khanas minnah marrateen.
[12] Wa Chaawuul khaaf min Dawuud achaan Allah kaan maʼaayah wa khallaah leyah hu.
[13] Wa fi chaan da, Chaawuul baʼadah minnah wa khattaah khaayid fi alif askar wa hu yamchi wa yaji fi raashum.
[14] Wa Dawuud gaaʼid yanjah fi l-harib achaan Allah maʼaayah.
[15] Wa wakit Chaawuul chaaf Dawuud gaaʼid yanjah be ziyaada fi l-harib, hu khaaf minnah bilheen.
[16] Wa laakin kulla Bani Israaʼiil wa naas gabiilat Yahuuza yiriiduuh le Dawuud achaan hu bas khaayid al-deech wa gaaʼid yamchi wa yaji fi raashum.
[17] Wa yoom waahid, Chaawuul gaal le Dawuud : «Di hi bineeyti al-kabiire Miirab, nantiiha leek mara ! Wa laakin be chart tabga raajil fahal wa tihaarib fi huruub Allah.» Wa fi galbah, Chaawuul gaal : «Khalli ana ma naktulah laakin narmiih fi iid al-Filistiyiin.»
[18] Wa Dawuud radda leyah wa gaal : «Ana ke yaatu ? Wa khachum beet abuuyi fi Bani Israaʼiil ke chunu ? Wa kikkeef nabga nasiib al-malik ?»
[19] Wa fi wakit al-Dawuud yichiil foogah martah Miirab bineeyit Chaawuul, tawwaali abuuha gamma antaaha le Adriyiil min hillit Mahuula.
[20] Wa laakin Mikaal bineeyit Chaawuul al-sakhayre habbatah le Dawuud. Wa wakit Chaawuul simʼah, hu firih
[21] wa gaal fi galbah : «Khalli nantiiha leyah achaan tabga leyah charak ! Wa l-Filistiyiin yaktuluuh !» Wa Chaawuul gaal le Dawuud : «Hassaʼ da, di fursa aakhara al-beeha inta tabga nasiibi !»
[22] Wa Chaawuul gaal le khaddaamiinah : «Guulu le Dawuud be achiir : ‹Al-malik farhaan beek wa kulla khaddaamiinah yihibbuuk. Ma taaba ! Abga nasiib al-malik !›»
[23] Wa khaddaamiin Chaawuul gaalo al-kalaam da le Dawuud wa Dawuud gaal : «Intu tichiifu al-cheyy da hayyiin, le nabga nasiib al-malik ? Ana miskiin wa ma nisaawi cheyy !»
[24] Wa l-khaddaamiin jaabo al-radd hana Dawuud le l-malik.
[25] Wa Chaawuul gaal : «Guulu le Dawuud : ‹Al-malik ma bidoor minnak maal fi bineeytah. Laakin hu yidoor miya khulaf hana l-Filistiyiin al-taktulhum. Achaan Chaawuul yichiil al-taar fi udwaanah.›» Wa be da, Chaawuul yahsib yarmi Dawuud fi iid al-Filistiyiin.
[26] Wa khaddaamiin Chaawuul hajjo be l-kalaam da le Dawuud. Wa hu khassad le yabga nasiib al-malik. Wa gubbaal al-waʼad ma yitimm,
[27] Dawuud chaal rujaalah wa macha katal miiteen rujaal min al-Filistiyiin. Wa jaab adad al-khulaf wa antaahum le l-malik achaan yabga nasiibah. Wa khalaas, Chaawuul antaah bineeytah Mikaal.
[28] Wa Chaawuul irif tamaam kadar Allah gaaʼid maʼa Dawuud wa bineeytah Mikaal kula habbatah.
[29] Wa be da, Chaawuul khaaf min Dawuud be ziyaada. Wa min al-yoom da, hu chaafah misil aduuh.
[30] Wa fi ayyi wakit kan kubaaraat al-Filistiyiin yahjumu, Dawuud yinnasir fooghum. Wa nasrah bigi ziyaada min nasur kulla l-khuyyaad al-aakhariin hana Chaawuul. Wa be da, usmah talaʼ.
