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 Nahash the king of the children of Ammon died, and 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 shew kindness unto Hanun the son of Nahash, because his father shewed kindness to me. So David sent messengers to comfort him concerning his father. And David’s servants came into the land of the children of Ammon to Hanun, 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?”
But the princes of the children of Ammon said to Hanun, Thinkest thou that David doth honour thy father, that he hath sent comforters unto thee? are not his servants come unto thee for to search, and to overthrow, 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.
So Hanun took David’s servants, and shaved them, and cut off their garments in the middle, even to their buttocks, 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.”
Then there went certain, and told David how the men were served. And he sent to meet them; for the men were greatly ashamed. And the king said, Tarry at Jericho until your beards be grown, and then 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 when the children of Ammon saw that they had made themselves odious to David, Hanun and the children of Ammon sent a thousand talents of silver to hire them chariots and horsemen out of Mesopotamia, and out of Aram-maacah, and out of 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 they hired them thirty and two thousand chariots, and the king of Maacah and his people; who came and pitched before Medeba. And the children of Ammon gathered themselves together from their cites, and came to battle.
8 Kane Daudi owinjo wachno nooro Joab gi jokedo mag lweny duto.
And when David heard of it, he sent Joab, and all the host of the 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 out, and put the battle in array at the gate of the city: and the kings that were come were 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 the battle was set against him before and behind, he chose of all the choice men of Israel, and put them in array against the Syrians.
11 To joge mane odongʼ to noketo e bwo owadgi Abishai kendo nochomogi kuom jo-Amon.
And the rest of the people he committed into the hand of Abishai his brother, and they put 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 Syrians be too strong for me, then thou shalt help me: but if the children of Ammon be too strong for thee, then I will help thee.
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 play the men for our people, and for the cities of our God: and the LORD do that which seemeth him good.
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 drew nigh before the Syrians unto the battle; and they fled 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 that the Syrians were fled, they likewise fled before Abishai his brother, and entered into the city. Then 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 when the Syrians saw that they were put to the worse before Israel, they sent messengers, and drew forth the Syrians that were beyond the River, with Shophach the captain of the host of Hadarezer 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 it was told David; and he gathered all Israel together, and passed over Jordan, and came upon them, and set the battle in array against them. So when David had put the battle in array against the Syrians, they fought with 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 before Israel; and David slew of the Syrians [the men of] seven thousand chariots, and forty thousand footmen, and killed Shophach the captain of the host.
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 Hadarezer saw that they were put to the worse before Israel, they made peace with David, and served him: neither would the Syrians help the children of Ammon any more.
