1 Samuel 19
1 Saulo nowachone Jonathan ma wuode to gi jotije duto mondo gineg Daudi. To Jonathan nohero Daudi ahinya,
And Saul spoke to Jonathan his son, and to all his servants, that they should slay David; but Jonathan Saul's son delighted much in David.
2 mi nosieme niya, “Tangʼ, Saulo wuora manyo yo ma donegigo. Omiyo kiny gokinyi dhiyo ipondi kendo bed mana kuno.
And Jonathan told David, saying: 'Saul my father seeketh to slay thee; now therefore, I pray thee, take heed to thyself in the morning, and abide in a secret place, and hide thyself.
3 Abiro dhi oko kendo anachungʼ but wuora machiegni gi kama ipondoeno. Abiro wuoyo kode kuomi kendo abiro nyisi gima ayudo.”
And I will go out and stand beside my father in the field where thou art, and I will speak with my father of thee; and if I see aught, I will tell thee.'
4 Jonathan nowuoyo maber kuom Daudi ne Saulo, wuon mare, mowachone niya, “Ruoth kik itim marach ne jatichni Daudi; pok otimoni marach, to osemana konyi ahinya.
And Jonathan spoke good of David unto Saul his father, and said unto him: 'Let not the king sin against his servant, against David; because he hath not sinned against thee, and because his work hath been very good towards thee;
5 Noyie tho chiengʼ mane onego ja-Filistia. Jehova Nyasaye nokelo loch maduongʼ ne jo-Israel duto, ne ineno mine imor. Angʼo madimi itim marach ni ngʼama onge ketho ka Daudi kinege maonge gima omiyo?”
for he put his life in his hand, and smote the Philistine, and the LORD wrought a great victory for all Israel; thou sawest it, and didst rejoice; wherefore then wilt thou sin against innocent blood, to slay David without a cause?'
6 Saulo nochiko ite ne wach Jonathan mi okwongʼore kowacho niya, “Akwongʼora gi nying Jehova Nyasaye mangima ni Daudi ok nonegi.”
And Saul hearkened unto the voice of Jonathan; and Saul swore: 'As the LORD liveth, he shall not be put to death.'
7 Omiyo Jonathan noluongo Daudi monyise weche duto mane giwacho. Nokele ir Saulo, mi Daudi nobedo gi Saulo kaka nosebet mokwongo.
And Jonathan called David, and Jonathan told him all those things. And Jonathan brought David to Saul, and he was in his presence, as beforetime.
8 Lweny nochako owuok kendo, mi Daudi nowuok modhi kedo gi jo-Filistia. Nonego ji mangʼeny ma joma odongʼ noringo oa.
And there was war again; and David went out, and fought with the Philistines, and slew them with a great slaughter; and they fled before him.
9 To roho marach ma Jehova Nyasaye nomiyo thuolo nobiro kuom Saulo kama nobetie piny ei ode ka otingʼo tongʼe e lwete. Kane Daudi ne goyo nyatiti,
And an evil spirit from the LORD was upon Saul, as he sat in his house with his spear in his hand; and David was playing with his hand.
10 Saulo notemo chwowe gi tongʼ mondo oriwe gi kor ot, to Daudi nolengʼe mi tongʼ nochwowo kor ot. Otienono Daudi notony maber modhi.
And Saul sought to smite David even to the wall with the spear; but he slipped away out of Saul's presence, and he smote the spear into the wall; and David fled, and escaped that night.
11 Saulo nooro ji mondo orit od Daudi kendo mondo onege gokinyi. To Mikal ma chi Daudi nosieme niya, “Ka ok iringo mi ikonyo ngimani otienoni to kiny nonegi.”
And Saul sent messengers unto David's house, to watch him, and to slay him in the morning; and Michal David's wife told him, saying: 'If thou save not thy life to-night, to-morrow thou shalt be slain.'
12 Eka Mikal nogolo Daudi gie dirisa, mine oringo motony.
So Michal let David down through the window; and he went, and fled, and escaped.
13 Eka Mikal nokawo gima opa mopiele e kitanda, moume gi law, bangʼe oketo yie diek moko e wiye.
And Michal took the teraphim, and laid it in the bed, and put a quilt of goats' hair at the head thereof, and covered it with a cloth.
14 Kane Saulo ooro ji mondo omak Daudi, Mikal nowacho niya, “Otuo.”
And when Saul sent messengers to take David, she said: 'He is sick.'
15 Kendo Saulo nooro jogo mondo odogi one Daudi mowachonegi niya, “Keleuru ira ka utingʼe e kitandane mondo omi anege.”
And Saul sent the messengers to see David, saying: 'Bring him up to me in the bed, that I may slay him.'
16 To ka jogo nodonjo negiyudo gima opa e kitanda, to yo ka wiye to oketie yie diek.
And when the messengers came in, behold, the teraphim was in the bed, with the quilt of goats' hair at the head thereof.
17 Saulo nowachone Mikal niya, “Angʼo momiyo iwuonda kama kiweyo jasika dhi matony?” Mikal nowachone niya, “Nowachona ni, ‘Weya adhi. Angʼo momiyo danegi.’”
And Saul said unto Michal: 'Why hast thou deceived me thus, and let mine enemy go, that he is escaped?' And Michal answered Saul: 'He said unto me: Let me go; why should I kill thee?'
18 Kane Daudi oseringo motony, ne odhi Rama ir Samuel mi onyise timbe duto ma Saulo osetimone. Eka en gi Samuel negidhi Nayoth ma gibet kuno.
Now David fled, and escaped, and came to Samuel to Ramah, and told him all that Saul had done to him. And he and Samuel went and dwelt in Naioth.
19 Wach nochopo ne Saulo niya, “Daudi ni Nayoth e gwengʼ Rama”
And it was told Saul, saying: 'Behold, David is at Naioth in Ramah.'
20 omiyo nooro ji mondo odhi omake. To kane gineno oganda jonabi ka koro wach ka gin gi Samuel kochungʼ kanyo kaka jatendgi Roho mar Nyasaye nomako joote Saulo ma gin bende negichako koro.
And Saul sent messengers to take David; and when they saw the company of the prophets prophesying, and Samuel standing as head over them, the spirit of God came upon the messengers of Saul, and they also prophesied.
21 Nonyis Saulo wachno, mi nooro ji moko to gin bende ne gikoro. Eka Saulo nooro joote kendo mar adek, to gin bende negimedo mana koro.
And when it was told Saul, he sent other messengers, and they also prophesied. And Saul sent messengers again the third time, and they also prophesied.
22 Mogik en owuon nowuok modhi Rama ka nochopo e Soko maduongʼ man Seku. Nopenjo niya, “Ere Samuel gi Daudi?” Negidwoke niya, “Gin Nayoth e gwengʼ Rama.”
Then went he also to Ramah, and came to the great cistern that is in Secu; and he asked and said: 'Where are Samuel and David?' And one said: 'Behold, they are at Naioth in Ramah.'
23 Omiyo Saulo nodhi Nayoth e gwengʼ Rama. To en bende Roho mar Nyasaye nobiro kuome mi owuotho kokoro wach nyaka ochopo Nayoth.
And he went thither to Naioth in Ramah; and the spirit of God came upon him also, and he went on, and prophesied, until he came to Naioth in Ramah.
24 Nogolo lepe mokoro wach e nyim Samuel. Nonindo kamano odiechiengʼ gotieno. Mano ema omiyo ji wacho niya, “Kare Saulo bende en achiel kuom jonabi?”
And he also stripped off his clothes, and he also prophesied before Samuel, and lay down naked all that day and all that night. Wherefore they say: 'Is Saul also among the prophets?'
