1 Weche Mag Ndalo 20
1 E kinde chakruok oro, e ndalo ma ruodhi thoro wuok kadhi kedo, Joab nowuok gi jolwenjgo momanore gi gige lweny. Ne omuko moketho piny jo-Amon bangʼe odhi Raba ma olwore gi jolweny, Daudi to nodongʼ Jerusalem. Joab nomonjo Raba moweyo kokethe chuth.
And it came to pass at the return of the year, at the [time of the] going forth of kings [to war], that Joab gathered the whole force of the army, and they ravaged the land of the children of Ammon; and he came and besieged Rabba. But David abode in Jerusalem. And Joab struck Rabba and destroyed it.
2 Daudi nogolo osimbo ewi ruodhgi, ma pek mar dhahabu molosego nonwangʼ ni dirom kilo piero adek gangʼwen, kendo nochom kuome kite ma nengogi tek mi nosidhe ewi Daudi. Nokawo gik mangʼeny mane oyako e dala maduongʼno
And David took the crown of Molchom their king off his head, and the weight of it was found [to be] a talent of gold, and on it were precious stones; and it was [placed] on the head of David: and he brought out the spoils of the city [which were] very great.
3 kendo nodaro joma nodak kanyo moketogi e tich mar tiyogi musmende, kod tindo mag chuma kod ledhi. Daudi notimo mano ne mier duto mag jo-Amon. Bangʼe Daudi gi jolweny mage duto nodok Jerusalem.
And he brought out the people that were in it, and sawed them asunder with saws, and [cut them] with iron axes, and with harrows: and thus David did to all the children of Ammon. And David and all his people returned to Jerusalem.
4 E kinde mamoko lweny nowuok Gezer e kindgi gi jo-Filistia. E ndalogo Sibekai ma ja-Hushath nonego Sipai mane en achiel kuom nyikwa Refai omiyo nolo jo-Filistia.
And it came to pass afterward that there was again war with the Philistines in Gazer: then Sobochai the Sosathite struck Saphut of the sons of the giants, and laid him low.
5 E lweny machielo gi jo-Filistia, Elhanan wuod Jair nonego Lami ma owadgi Goliath ja-Giti mane ni kod tongʼ ma bonde romo gi lodi.
And there [was] war again with the Philistines; and Eleanan the son of Jair struck Lachmi the brother of Goliath the Gittite, and the wood of his spear [was] as a weavers' beam.
6 Lweny machielo nochako owuok Gath, kama ne nitie ngʼat marabet mane nigi lith lwedo auchiel gi lith tielo auchiel koni gi koni, lith lwetene gi mag tiendene koriw to ne romo piero ariyo gangʼwen. En bende ne en nyakwar Rafa.
And there was again war in Geth, and there was a man of extraordinary size, and his fingers [and toes were] six on each hand and foot, four and twenty; and he was descended from the giants.
7 To kane othiano ni jo-Israel, Jonathan wuod Shimea ma owadgi Daudi nonege.
And he defied Israel, and Jonathan the son of Samaa the brother of David killed him.
8 Magi ne nyikwa Rafa ja-Gath mane Daudi gi joge onego.
These were born to Rapha in Geth; all four were giants, and they fell by the hand of David, and by the hand of his servants.
