1 Weche Mag Ndalo 19
1 E kinde mamoko Nahash ruodh Amon notho mi wuode nobedo ruoth kare.
And it came to pass after this, [that] Naas the king of the children of Ammon died, and Anan his son reigned in his stead.
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 act kindly towards Anan the son of Naas, as his father acted kindly towards me. And David sent messengers to condole with him on the death of his father. So the servants of David came into the land of the children of Ammon to Anan, to comfort him.
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?”
And the chiefs of the children of Ammon said to Anan, Is it to honour your father before you, that David has sent comforters to you? Have not his servants come to you that they might search the city, and to spy out the land?
4 Omiyo Hanun nomako joote Daudi molielogi, ma ongʼado lepgi koa e dier ngʼegi nyaka e nungogi kadhi piny, bangʼe to oriembogi.
And Anan took the servants of David, and shaved them, and cut off the half of their garments as far as their tunic, and 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.”
And there came men to report to David concerning the men: and he sent to meet them, for they were greatly disgraced: and the king said, Dwell in Jericho until your beards have grown, and return.
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 the children of Ammon saw that the people of David were ashamed, and Anan and the children of Ammon sent a thousand talents of silver to hire for themselves chariots and horsemen out of Syria of Mesopotamia, and out of Syria Maacha, and from Sobal.
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.
And they hired for themselves two and thirty thousand chariots, and the king of Maacha and his people; and they came and encamped before Medaba: and the children of Ammon assembled out of their cities, and came to fight.
8 Kane Daudi owinjo wachno nooro Joab gi jokedo mag lweny duto.
And David heard, and sent Joab and all the host of mighty men.
9 Jo-Amon nobiro mi giriedo ne lweny e dhoranga dalagi maduongʼ kane ruodhi mane obiro konyogi ne nikendgi e pap.
And the children of Ammon came forth, and set themselves in array for battle by the gate of the city: and the kings that were come forth encamped by themselves in the plain.
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.
And Joab saw that they were fronting [him] to fight against him before and behind, and he chose [some] out of all the young men of Israel, and they set themselves in array against the Syrian.
11 To joge mane odongʼ to noketo e bwo owadgi Abishai kendo nochomogi kuom jo-Amon.
And the rest of the people he gave into the hand of his brother Abesai, and they set themselves in array against the children of Ammon.
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 Syrian should prevail against me, then shall you deliver me: and if the children of Ammon should prevail against you, then will I deliver you.
13 Bed motegno kendo wakeduru motegno ne jowa kendo ni mier madongo mag Nyasachwa. Jehova Nyasaye notim gima ber e nyim wangʼe.”
Be of good courage, and let us be strong, for our people, and for the cities of our God: and the Lord shall do what [is] good in his eyes.
14 Eka Joab gi jolweny mane ni kode nodhi mondo oked gi jo-Aram kendo negiringo e nyimgi.
So Joab and the people that were with him set themselves in battle array against the Syrians, and they fled from them.
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 the children of Ammon saw that the Syrians fled, and they also fled from before Abesai, and from before Joab his brother, and they came to the city: and Joab came 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 the Syrian saw that Israel had defeated him, and he sent messengers, and they brought out the Syrians from beyond the river; and Sophath the commander-in-chief of the forces of Adraazar [was] before them.
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 it was told David; and he gathered all Israel, and crossed over Jordan, and came upon them, and set the battle in array against them. So David set [his army] in array to fight against the Syrians, and they fought against him.
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 Syrians fled from before Israel; and David killed of the Syrians seven thousand [riders in] chariots, and forty thousand infantry, and he killed Sophath the commander-in-chief of the forces.
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 the servants of Adraazar saw that they were defeated before Israel, and they made peace with David and served him: and the Syrians would not any more help the children of Ammon.
