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 cometh to pass, at the time of the turn of the year — at the time of the going out of the messengers — that Joab leadeth out the force of the host, and destroyeth the land of the sons of Ammon, and cometh in and beseigeth Rabbah — David is abiding in Jerusalem — and Joab smiteth Rabbah, and breaketh it down.
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 taketh the crown of their king from off his head, and findeth it [in] weight a talent of gold, and in it a precious stone, and it is on the head of David: and spoil of the city he hath brought out very much,
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 the people who [are] in it he hath brought out, and setteth to the saw, and to cutting instruments of iron, and to axes; and thus doth David to all cities of the sons of Ammon, and David turneth back, and all the people, 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 cometh to pass, after this, that there remaineth war in Gezer with the Philistines, then hath Sibbechai the Hushathite smitten Sippai, of the children of the giant, and they are humbled.
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 is again war with the Philistines, and Elhanan son of Jair smiteth Lahmi, brother of Goliath the Gittite, the wood of whose spear [is] like a beam of weavers.
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 is again war in Gath, and there is a man of measure, and his fingers and his toes [are] six and six, twenty and four, and also, he hath been born to the giant.
7 To kane othiano ni jo-Israel, Jonathan wuod Shimea ma owadgi Daudi nonege.
And he reproacheth Israel, and smite him doth Jonathan son of Shimea, brother of David.
8 Magi ne nyikwa Rafa ja-Gath mane Daudi gi joge onego.
These were born to the giant in Gath, and they fall by the hand of David, and by the hand of his servants.
