1 Samuel 18
1 Kane Daudi osetieko wuoyo gi Saulo, chuny Daudi nowinjore gi mar Jonathan gi Daudi mine ohere mana kaka oherore owuon.
And when he had made an ende of speaking vnto Saul, the soule of Ionathan was knit with the soule of Dauid, and Ionathan loued him, as his owne soule.
2 Koa odiechiengno Saulo nokawo Daudi kendo ne ok ochako odok dalagi ir wuon-gi.
And Saul tooke him that day, and woulde not let him returne to his fathers house.
3 Jonathan nokwongʼore gi Daudi nikech ne ohere mana kaka oherore owuon.
Then Ionathan and Dauid made a couenant: for he loued him as his owne soule.
4 Jonathan nogolo lawe mane orwako momiyo Daudi, nomiye lawe mar akor, gi liganglane bende, atungʼ gi okandane.
And Ionathan put off the robe that was vpon him, and gaue it Dauid, and his garments, euen to his sword, and to his bow, and to his girdle.
5 Gimoro amora mane Saulo oore mondo otim, Daudi ne timo maber ahinya kuom mano Saulo nomiye rangʼiny mamalo e lweny. Ma nomiyo ji duto mor nyaka jotend lweny mag Saulo bende.
And Dauid went out whithersoeuer Saul sent him, and behaued himselfe wisely: so that Saul set him ouer the men of warre, and he was accepted in the sight of all the people, and also in the sight of Sauls seruants.
6 Kane ji duogo dala bangʼ ka Daudi nosenego ja-Filistia, mon nowuok e mier matindo duto mag Israel mondo oromne Ruoth Saulo ka giwer kendo gimiel, ka igoyo tamborin gi asili.
When they came againe, and Dauid returned from the slaughter of the Philistim, the women came out of all cities of Israel singing and dauncing to meete king Saul, with timbrels, with instruments of ioy, and with rebeckes.
7 Kane gimiel, ne giwer niya, “Saulo onego ji alufe, to Daudi onego ji alufe gi alufe.”
And the women sang by course in their play, and sayd, Saul hath slayne his thousand, and Dauid his ten thousand.
8 Saulo ne okecho ahinya nikech wendno nochwanye, mi nowacho e chunye niya, “Ere kaka gisemiyo Daudi alufe gi alufe; to an to gimiya mana alufe kende. Angʼo modongʼne makoro ok doyudi ma kata bedo ruoth?”
Therefore Saul was exceeding wroth, and the saying displeased him, and he sayde, They haue ascribed vnto Dauid ten thousand, and to me they haue ascribed but a thousand, and what can he haue more saue the kingdome?
9 Kochakore chiengʼno Saulo nochako bedo gi nyiego gi Daudi.
Wherefore Saul had an eye on Dauid from that day forward.
10 Kinyne Nyasaye nochiwo thuolo ne roho marach mobiro gi teko modonjo kuom Saulo. Noyudo okoro wach e ode, ka Daudi to ne goyo nyatiti kaka ne ojagoyo pile. Saulo ne nigi tongʼ e lwete
And on the morowe, the euill spirite of God came vpon Saul, and he prophecied in the middes of the house: and Dauid played with his hand like as at other times, and there was a speare in Sauls hand.
11 kendo nodiro tongʼ kowacho e chunye niya, “Abiro chwowo Daudi mariw gi kor ot.” To Daudi nolengʼe nyadiriyo.
And Saul tooke the speare, and sayd, I will smite Dauid through to the wall. But Dauid auoyded twise out of his presence.
12 Saulo noluoro Daudi nikech Jehova Nyasaye noseweye, to ne ni kod Daudi.
And Saul was afrayd of Dauid, because the Lord was with him, and was departed from Saul.
13 Omiyo nogolo Daudi mondo oa bute mi nokete mondo obed jatend jolweny alufu achiel, kendo Daudi notelonegi e lwenje mane gidhiye.
Therefore Saul put him from him, and made him a captaine ouer a thousand, and he went out and in before the people.
14 Gik moko ne dhi kode maber e gimoro amora mane otimo nikech Jehova Nyasaye ne ni kode.
And Dauid behaued himselfe wisely in all his wayes: for the Lord was with him.
15 Kane Saulo oneno kaka odhi maber, mine oluore.
Wherefore when Saul saw that he was very wise, he was afrayde of him.
16 To jo-Israel duto gi jo-Juda duto ne ohero Daudi nikech notelonegi e lwenjegi.
For all Israel and Iudah loued Dauid, because he went out and in before them.
17 Saulo nowachone Daudi niya, “Ma en Merab nyara maduongʼ. Abiro miyigo mondo ikende; to mana ka inyalo kedona gi chir ka ikedo lwenje mag Jehova Nyasaye.” Nimar Saulo nowacho e chunye niya, “Ok abi keto lweta kuome. We jo-Filistia ema otim mano!”
Then Saul sayd to Dauid, Beholde mine eldest daughter Merab, her I will giue thee to wife: onely be a valiant sonne vnto me, and fight the Lordes battels: for Saul thought, Mine hand shall not be vpon him, but the hand of the Philistims shalbe vpon him.
18 To Daudi nowachone ne Saulo niya, “Anto an ngʼa kata anywolana kata dhood gi wuora gin angʼo e Israel ma dimi abed or ruoth?”
And Dauid answered Saul, What am I? and what is my life, or the family of my father in Israel, that I should be sonne in law to the King?
19 Kane ndalo ochopo mane Merab nyar Saulo onego omi Daudi, ne omiye Adriel ja-Mehola mondo okende.
Howbeit when Merab Sauls daughter should haue bene giuen to Dauid, she was giuen vnto Adriel a Meholathite to wife.
20 Koro Mikal nyar Saulo nohero Daudi, omiyo kane ginyiso Saulo wachno, to Saulo nobedo mamor.
Then Michal Sauls daughter loued Dauid: and they shewed Saul, and the thing pleased him.
21 Saulo noparo e chunye niya, “Abiro miyego, mondo obedne obadho mondo omi jo-Filistia oyude.” Omiyo Saulo nowachone Daudi niya, “Koro in-gi thuolo mar ariyo mondo ibed ora.”
Therefore Saul said, I wil giue him her, that she may be a snare to him, and that the hand of the Philistims may bee against him. Wherefore Saul sayde to Dauid, Thou shalt this day be my sonne in law in the one of the twayne.
22 Eka Saulo nochiko jotichne niya, “Wuouru gi Daudi lingʼ-lingʼ kendo wachneuru ni, ‘Winji, ruoth mor kodi kendo jotije duto bende oheri koro bed ore.’”
And Saul commanded his seruants, Speake with Dauid secretly, and say, Behold, ye King hath a fauour to thee, and all his seruants loue thee: be now therefore the Kings sonne in law.
23 Neginwoyo wechego ne Daudi. To Daudi nowacho niya, “Uparo ni en wach mayot mar bedo or ruoth? An mana ngʼama odhier bende ok angʼera.”
And Sauls seruantes spake these wordes in the eares of Dauid. And Dauid sayd, Seemeth it to you a light thing to be a Kings sonne in lawe, seeing that I am a poore man and of small reputation?
24 Kane jotije Saulo onyise gima Daudi nowacho,
And then Sauls seruats brought him word againe, saying, Such wordes spake Dauid.
25 Saulo nodwoko niya, “Wachneuru Daudi ni, ‘Ruoth ok dwar ni inyombne, eka ikaw nyare, to odwaro mana ni mondo ikelne ringre jo-Filistia mia achiel (ma en pien duongʼ-gi), mondo ochulgo kuor ne wasike.’” Chenro mar Saulo ne en ni mondo Daudi opodhie lwet jo-Filistia.
And Saul sayd, This wise shall ye say to Dauid, The King desireth no dowrie, but an hundred foreskinnes of the Philistims, to bee auenged of the Kings enemies: for Saul thought to make Dauid fall into the handes of the Philistims.
26 Kane jotij Saulo onyiso Daudi wechego nobedo mamor bedo or ruoth. Kane kinde moket pok orumo,
And when his seruantes tolde Dauid these wordes, it pleased Dauid well, to be the Kings sonne in law: and the dayes were not expired.
27 Daudi gi joge nodhi monego jo-Filistia mia ariyo. Nokelo ringregi (ma en pien duongʼ-gi) kendo nochiwo kar kwan-ka duto mondo omi obed or ruoth. Eka Saulo nomiye Mikal nyare mi okendo.
Afterwarde Dauid arose with his men, and went and slewe of the Philistims two hundreth men: and Dauid brought their foreskinnes, and they gaue them wholly to the King that hee might be the Kings sonne in lawe: therefore Saul gaue him Michal his daughter to wife.
28 Kane Saulo ofwenyo ni Jehova Nyasaye nigi Daudi kendo ni Mikal nyare ohero Daudi.
Then Saul sawe, and vnderstoode that the Lord was with Dauid, and that Michal the daughter of Saul loued him.
29 Saulo nomedo luore, kendo nosiko ka en jasike e ndalo duto mag ngimane.
Then Saul was more and more afrayde of Dauid, and Saul became alway Dauids enemie.
30 Jotend lweny mag jo-Filistia ne medo dhi e lweny, kendo kaka negimedo dhi e kaka Daudi bende ne locho moloyo jotelo mamoko mag Saulo kendo nomedo ngʼere.
And when the Princes of the Philistims went forth, at their going forth Dauid behaued himselfe more wisely then all the seruants of Saul, so that his name was much set by.
