1 Weche Mag Ndalo 19
1 E kinde mamoko Nahash ruodh Amon notho mi wuode nobedo ruoth kare.
Now it came about after this that death came to Nahash, the king of the children of Ammon, and his son became king in his place.
2 Daudi noparo e chunye kowacho niya, “Anatim ngʼwono ni Hanun wuod Nahash, nikech wuon mare bende notimona ngʼwono.” Omiyo Daudi nooro joote mondo otimne Hanun mos kuom tho wuon mare. Kane joote Daudi nobiro ir Hanun e piny jo-Amon mondo gitimne mos,
And David said, I will be a friend to Hanun, the son of Nahash, because his father was a friend to me. So David sent men to him, to give him words of comfort on account of his father. And the servants of David came to Hanun, to the land of the children of Ammon, offering him comfort.
3 joka ruoth mag Amon nowachone Hanun niya, “Iparo ni Daudi miyo wuonu duongʼ ka ooro ji iri mondo ogoni mos? Donge joge osebiro mana mondo ginon kendo gicheng pinywa mondo onwangʼ yo ma onyalo loyego?”
But the chiefs of the children of Ammon said to Hanun, Does it seem to you that David is honouring your father, by sending comforters to you? is it not clear that these men have only come to go through the land and to make secret observation of it so that they may overcome it?
4 Omiyo Hanun nomako joote Daudi molielogi, ma ongʼado lepgi koa e dier ngʼegi nyaka e nungogi kadhi piny, bangʼe to oriembogi.
So Hanun took David's servants, and cutting off their hair and the skirts of their robes up to the middle, sent them away.
5 Kane ngʼato obiro mi onyiso Daudi gima osetimore ne joge, ne ooro joote mondo oromnegi nikech ne giyudo wichkuot malich. Ruoth nowacho niya, “Beduru Jeriko nyaka yie tiku dongi eka bangʼe uduogi.”
Then certain men went and gave David word of what had been done to them. And he sent out with the purpose of meeting them; for the men were greatly shamed. And the king said, Keep where you are at Jericho till your hair is long again, and then come back.
6 Kane jo-Amon oneno ka gisechido chuny Daudi, Hanun kod jo-Amon nooro fedha madirom kilo alufu piero adek mondo giholgo geche gi joriembgi kuom jo-Aram-Naharaim, jo-Aram Maaka kod jo-Zoba.
And when the children of Ammon saw that they had made themselves hated by David, Hanun and the children of Ammon sent a thousand talents of silver as payment for war-carriages and horsemen from Mesopotamia and Aram-maacah and Zobah.
7 Ne giholo geche alufu piero adek gariyo gi joriembgi kaachiel gi ruodh jo-Maaka gi jolweny mage kendo negibiro ma gigoyo kambi but Medeba, to jo-Amon nochoki e miechgi mi negiyworone lweny.
So with this money they got thirty-two thousand war-carriages, and the help of the king of Maacah and his people, who came and took up their position in front of Medeba. And the children of Ammon came together from their towns for the fight.
8 Kane Daudi owinjo wachno nooro Joab gi jokedo mag lweny duto.
And David, hearing of it, sent Joab with all the army of fighting-men.
9 Jo-Amon nobiro mi giriedo ne lweny e dhoranga dalagi maduongʼ kane ruodhi mane obiro konyogi ne nikendgi e pap.
So the children of Ammon came out and put their forces in position on the way into the town; and the kings who had come were stationed by themselves in the field.
10 Joab noneno ni wasigu ni yo ka nyime gi yo katoke, omiyo noyiero jolweny mabeyo moloyo ei Israel, moketogi mondo giked gi jo-Aram.
Now when Joab saw that their forces were in position against him in front and at his back, he took all the best men of Israel, and put them in line against the Aramaeans;
11 To joge mane odongʼ to noketo e bwo owadgi Abishai kendo nochomogi kuom jo-Amon.
And the rest of the people he put in position against the children of Ammon with Abishai, his brother, at their head.
12 Joab nowacho niya, “Ka jo-Aram dwaro loya, to ubi ukonya, to ka diponi jo-Amon tek moloyi, to anabi akonyi.
And he said, If the Aramaeans are stronger and get the better of me, then come to my help; and if the children of Ammon get the better of you, I will come to your help.
13 Bed motegno kendo wakeduru motegno ne jowa kendo ni mier madongo mag Nyasachwa. Jehova Nyasaye notim gima ber e nyim wangʼe.”
Take heart, and let us be strong for our people and for the towns of our God; and may the Lord do what seems good to him.
14 Eka Joab gi jolweny mane ni kode nodhi mondo oked gi jo-Aram kendo negiringo e nyimgi.
So Joab and the people who were with him went forward into the fight against the Aramaeans, and they went in flight before him.
15 Kane jo-Amon oneno jo-Aram karingo gin bende negiringo e nyim owadgi ma Abishai mi gidhi ei dala maduongʼ. Eka Joab nodok Jerusalem.
And when the children of Ammon saw the flight of the Aramaeans, they themselves went in flight from Abishai, his brother, and came into the town. Then Joab came back to Jerusalem.
16 Bangʼ kane jo-Aram oneno ni jo-Israel oseloyogi, negioro joote moomo jo-Aram mane ni loka Aora kotelnegi gi Shofak mane jatend jolwenj Hadadezer.
And when the Aramaeans saw that Israel had overcome them, they sent men to get the Aramaeans who were on the other side of the River, with Shophach, the captain of Hadadezer's army, at their head.
17 Kane onyis Daudi wachni, nochoko jo-Israel duto ma ongʼado aora Jordan, kendo nochomogi mi giriedo ne lweny momanyore kodgi. Daudi noriedo joge mondo girad e lweny kod jo-Aram mi gikedo kode.
And word of this was given to David; and he got all Israel together and went over Jordan and came to Helam and put his forces in position against them. And when David's forces were in position against the Aramaeans, the fight was started.
18 To negiringo gia e nyim jo-Israel kendo Daudi nonego jolwenjgi alufu abiriyo ma joidho geche miywayo gi farese to gi jolweny mawuotho gi tiendgi alufu piero angʼwen. Bende nonego Shofak mane jatend jolwenjgi.
And the Aramaeans went in flight before Israel; and David put to the sword the men of seven thousand Aramaean war-carriages and forty thousand footmen, and put to death Shophach, the captain of the army.
19 Kane jopiny mane nitie e bwo loch Hadadezer oneno ni jo-Israel oseloyogi negiloso kwe kod Daudi mi gibedo e bwo lochgi. Omiyo jo-Aram ne ok ochako oyie konyo jo-Amon kendo.
And when the servants of Hadadezer saw that they were overcome by Israel, they made peace with David and became his servants: and the Aramaeans would give no more help to the children of Ammon.
