1 Weche Mag Ndalo 19
1 E kinde mamoko Nahash ruodh Amon notho mi wuode nobedo ruoth kare.
And it cometh to pass after this, that Nahash king of the sons of Ammon dieth, and his son reigneth 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 saith, 'I do kindness with Hanun son of Nahash, for his father did with me kindness;' and David sendeth messengers to comfort him concerning his father. And the servants of David come in unto the land of the sons of Ammon, unto 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?”
and the heads of the sons of Ammon say to Hanun, 'Is David honouring thy father, in thine eyes, because he hath sent to thee comforters? in order to search, and to overthrow, and to spy out, the land, have not his servants come in unto thee?'
4 Omiyo Hanun nomako joote Daudi molielogi, ma ongʼado lepgi koa e dier ngʼegi nyaka e nungogi kadhi piny, bangʼe to oriembogi.
And Hanun taketh the servants of David, and shaveth them, and cutteth their long robes in the midst, unto the buttocks, and sendeth 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 [some] go, and declare to David concerning the men, and he sendeth to meet them — for the men have been greatly ashamed — and the king saith, 'Dwell in Jericho till that your beard is grown, then ye have returned.'
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 sons of Ammon see that they have made themselves abhorred by David, and Hanun and the sons of Ammon send a thousand talents of silver, to hire to them, from Aram-Naharaim, and from Aram-Maachah, and from Zobah, chariots and horsemen;
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 hire to them two and thirty thousand chariots, and the king of Maachah and his people, and they come in and encamp before Medeba, and the sons of Ammon have been gathered out of their cities, and come in to the battle.
8 Kane Daudi owinjo wachno nooro Joab gi jokedo mag lweny duto.
And David heareth, and sendeth 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 sons of Ammon come out and set battle in array at the opening of the city, and the kings who have come [are] 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.
And Joab seeth that the front of the battle hath been unto him, before and behind, and he chooseth out of all the choice in Israel, and setteth in array to meet Aram,
11 To joge mane odongʼ to noketo e bwo owadgi Abishai kendo nochomogi kuom jo-Amon.
and the remnant of the people he hath given into the hand of Abishai his brother, and they set in array to meet the sons 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 saith, 'If Aram be stronger than I, then thou hast been to me for salvation; and if the sons of Ammon be stronger than thou, then I have saved thee;
13 Bed motegno kendo wakeduru motegno ne jowa kendo ni mier madongo mag Nyasachwa. Jehova Nyasaye notim gima ber e nyim wangʼe.”
be strong, and we strengthen ourselves, for our people, and for the cities of our God, and Jehovah doth that which is good in His eyes.'
14 Eka Joab gi jolweny mane ni kode nodhi mondo oked gi jo-Aram kendo negiringo e nyimgi.
And Joab draweth nigh, and the people who [are] with him, before Aram to battle, and they flee from his face;
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 sons of Ammon have seen that Aram hath fled, and they flee — they also — from the face of Abishai his brother, and go in to the city. And Joab cometh in 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 Aram seeth that they have been smitten before Israel, and send messengers, and bring out Aram that [is] beyond the River, and Shophach head of the host of Hadarezer [is] 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 is declared to David, and he gathereth all Israel, and passeth over the Jordan, and cometh in unto them, and setteth in array against them; yea, David setteth in array the battle to meet Aram, and they fight 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 Aram fleeth from the face of Israel, and David slayeth of Aram seven thousand charioteers, and forty thousand footmen, and Shophach head of the host he hath put to death.
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 Hadarezer see that they have been smitten before Israel, and they make peace with David and serve him, and Aram hath not been willing to help the sons of Ammon any more.
