1 Samuel 19
1 Saulo nowachone Jonathan ma wuode to gi jotije duto mondo gineg Daudi. To Jonathan nohero Daudi ahinya,
Saul spoke to Jonathan his son, and to all his servants, that they should kill David. But Saul's son Jonathan liked David very much.
2 mi nosieme niya, “Tangʼ, Saulo wuora manyo yo ma donegigo. Omiyo kiny gokinyi dhiyo ipondi kendo bed mana kuno.
So Jonathan told David, saying, "Saul seeks to kill you. Please take care of yourself in the morning, and keep hidden in a secret place.
3 Abiro dhi oko kendo anachungʼ but wuora machiegni gi kama ipondoeno. Abiro wuoyo kode kuomi kendo abiro nyisi gima ayudo.”
I will go out and stand beside my father in the field where you are, and I will talk with my father about you; and if I see anything, I will tell you."
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.
Jonathan spoke good of David to Saul his father, and said to him, "Do not let the king sin against his servant, against David; because he has not sinned against you, and because his works have been very good toward you;
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 struck the Philistine, and the LORD worked a great victory for all Israel. You saw it, and rejoiced. Why then will you sin against innocent blood, to kill 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.”
Saul listened to the voice of Jonathan, and Saul swore, "As the LORD lives, 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.
Jonathan called David, and Jonathan showed him all those things. Jonathan brought David to Saul, and he was in his presence, as before.
8 Lweny nochako owuok kendo, mi Daudi nowuok modhi kedo gi jo-Filistia. Nonego ji mangʼeny ma joma odongʼ noringo oa.
There was war again. David went out, and fought with the Philistines, and killed 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,
A harmful spirit from the LORD was on 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.
Saul sought to pin David even to the wall with the spear; but he slipped away out of Saul's presence, and he stuck the spear into the wall. 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.”
Saul sent messengers to David's house, to watch him, and to kill him in the morning. Mikal, David's wife, told him, saying, "If you do not save your life tonight, tomorrow you will be killed."
12 Eka Mikal nogolo Daudi gie dirisa, mine oringo motony.
So Mikal let David down through the window. He went, fled, and escaped.
13 Eka Mikal nokawo gima opa mopiele e kitanda, moume gi law, bangʼe oketo yie diek moko e wiye.
Mikal took the teraphim, and laid it in the bed, and put a pillow of goats' hair at its head, and covered it with the clothes.
14 Kane Saulo ooro ji mondo omak Daudi, Mikal nowacho niya, “Otuo.”
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.”
Then he sent the messengers to see David, saying, "Bring him up to me in the bed, that I may kill him."
16 To ka jogo nodonjo negiyudo gima opa e kitanda, to yo ka wiye to oketie yie diek.
When the messengers came in, look, the teraphim was in the bed, with the pillow of goats' hair at its head.
17 Saulo nowachone Mikal niya, “Angʼo momiyo iwuonda kama kiweyo jasika dhi matony?” Mikal nowachone niya, “Nowachona ni, ‘Weya adhi. Angʼo momiyo danegi.’”
Saul said to Mikal, "Why have you deceived me thus, and let my enemy go, so that he is escaped?" Mikal answered Saul, "He said, 'Let me go. Why should I kill you?'"
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 lived in the dwellings.
19 Wach nochopo ne Saulo niya, “Daudi ni Nayoth e gwengʼ Rama”
And it was told to Saul, saying, "Look, David is in the dwellings at 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 capture David. But when they saw a company of the prophets prophesying, and Samuel standing as head over them, the Spirit of God came upon the messengers of Saul, and they 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.
When it was told to Saul, he sent other messengers, and they also prophesied. 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.”
And Saul became very angry, and he himself also went to Ramah, and came to the cistern of the threshing floor that is on the bare hill. And he asked, "Where are Samuel and David?" And one said, "Look, they are in the dwellings at Ramah."
23 Omiyo Saulo nodhi Nayoth e gwengʼ Rama. To en bende Roho mar Nyasaye nobiro kuome mi owuotho kokoro wach nyaka ochopo Nayoth.
So he went to the dwellings at Ramah. Then the Spirit of God came on him also, and he went on, and prophesied, until he came to the dwellings 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 stripped off his clothes and prophesied before them, and lay down naked all that day and all that night. Thus it is said, "Is Saul also among the prophets?"
