1 Samuel 22
1 Daudi nowuok Gath moringo odhi e rogo mar Adulam. Kane owetene kod joodgi duto owinjo wachno, negidhi ire kuno.
And David departed thence, and escaped; and he comes to the cave of Odollam, and his brethren hear, and the house of his father, and they go down to him there.
2 Ji duto mane nigi chandruok kata mane nigi gowi kata nigi ngʼur moro amora nochokore modhi ire, mine obet jatendgi. Ne gin chwo madirom mia angʼwen mane ni kode.
And there gathered to him every one that was in distress, and every one that was in debt, and every one that was troubled in mind; and he was a leader over them, and there were with him about four hundred men.
3 Ka Daudi noa kanyo nodhi Mizpa e piny Moab mowachone ruoth Moab niya, “Bende diyie mondo wuora gi minwa obi odag kodi nyaka angʼe gima Nyasaye biro timona?”
And David departed thence to Massephath of Moab, and said to the king of Moab, Let, I pray thee, my father and my mother be with thee, until I know what God will do to me.
4 Omiyo noweyogi gi ruodh Moab mine gidak kode e ndalo duto mane Daudi ni kar pondo.
And he persuaded the King of Moab, and they dwell with him continually, while David was in the hold.
5 Janabi Gad nowachone Daudi niya, “We dak kar pondo, dhi e piny Juda.” Omiyo Daudi nowuok modhi e bungu man Hereth.
And Gad the prophet said to David, Dwell not in the hold: go, and thou shalt enter the land of Juda. So David went, and came and dwelt in the city of Saric.
6 Koro Saulo nowinjo ni osefweny kuma Daudi gi joge nitie. To Saulo noyudo obet piny e tiend yath moro ewi got man Gibea kotingʼo tongʼ e lwete kolwore gi jodonge.
And Saul heard that David was discovered, and his men with him: now Saul dwelt in the hill below the field that is in Rama, and his spear [was] in his hand, and all his servants stood near him.
7 Saulo nowachonegi niya, “Winjuru, un jo-Benjamin! Bende wuod Jesse nomiu puothe gi puoth mzabibu? Bende enoketu jotend jolweny alufe kata jatend jolweny miche?
And Saul said to his servants that stood by him, Hear now, ye sons of Benjamin, will the son of Jessae indeed give all of you fields and vineyards, and will he make you all captains of hundreds and captains of thousands?
8 Kare mano emomiyo uduto useriworuna? Onge ngʼato angʼata manyisa ka wuoda timo singruok gi wuod Jesse. Onge ngʼama dewo gima timorena kata manyisa ni wuoda osethuwo jatija mondo obutna ka rita kaka koro otimoni.”
That ye are conspiring against me, and there is no one that informs me, whereas my son has made a covenant with the son of Jessae, and there is no one of you that is sorry for me, or informs me, that my son has stirred up my servant against me for an enemy, as [it is] this day?
9 Eka Doeg ja-Edom, manoyudo ochungʼ gi jodong Saulo, nowacho niya, “Ne aneno ka wuod Jesse odhi ir Ahimelek wuod Ahitub man Nob.
And Doec the Syrian who was over the mules of Saul answered and said, I saw the son of Jessae as he came to Nomba to Abimelech son of Achitob the priest.
10 Ahimelek nopenjone wach kuom Jehova Nyasaye, nomiye chiemo bende gi ligangla mar Goliath ja-Filistia.”
And [the priest] enquired of God for him, and gave him provision, and gave him the sword of Goliath the Philistine.
11 Eka ruoth nooro joote mondo oom Ahimelek jadolo ma wuod Ahitub kaachiel gi joodgi duto, mane gin jodolo e Nob, kendo giduto negibiro ir ruoth.
And the king sent to call Abimelech son of Achitob and all his father's sons, the priests that were in Nomba; and they all came to the king.
12 Saulo nowacho niya, “Koro winji wuod Ahitub.” Nodwoke niya, “Ruodha awinjo.”
And Saul said, Hear now, thou son of Achitob. And he said, Lo! I [am here], speak, [my] lord.
13 Saulo nopenje niya, “Marangʼo useriworuna, in kod wuod Jesse, ka imiye makati, kod ligangla kendo ka ipenjone wach kuom Nyasaye, mi koro osengʼanyona kendo obuto korita, mana kaka otimo kawuononi?”
And Saul said to him, Why have thou and the son of Jessae conspired against me, that thou shouldest give him bread and a sword, and shouldest enquire of God for him, to raise him up against me as an enemy, as [he is] this day?
14 Ahimelek nodwoko ruoth niya, “Ere ngʼat ma ja-adiera kuom jotiji duto machal gi Daudi ori ma jatend joma riti, kendo mogen moloyo e odi mangima?
And he answered the king, and said, And who [is] there among all thy servants faithful as David, and [he is] a son-in-law of the king, and [he is] executor of all thy commands, and [is] honourable in thy house?
15 Iparo ni mano e odiechiengʼ mokwongo mapenjonee Nyasaye wach? Ooyo ok en kamano! Ruoth kik iketne jatichni bura kata joodgi bura, nikech jatichni ok ongʼeyo gima dhi nyime ka.”
Have I begun to-day to enquire of God for him? By no means: let not the king bring a charge against his servant, and against thee whole of my father's house; for thy servant knew not in all these matters anything great or small.
16 To ruoth nowacho niya, “Nyaka itho, in Ahimelek gi joodu duto.”
And king Saul said, Thou shalt surely die, Abimelech, thou, and all thy father's house.
17 Eka ruoth nowachone joritne mane ni bute niya, “Lokreuru mondo uneg jodolo mag Jehova Nyasaye, nikech gisedok jokor Daudi. Negingʼeyo ni oringo to negitamore nyisa.” To jodong ruoth ne ok oyie mondo gineg jodolo mag Jehova Nyasaye.
And the king said to the footmen that attended on him, Draw nigh and slay the priests of the Lord, because their hand [is] with David, and because they knew that he fled, and they did not inform me. But the servants of the king would not lift their hands to fall upon the priest of the Lord.
18 Omiyo ruoth nochiko Doeg niya, “Lokri mondo ineg jodolo.” Omiyo Doeg ja-Edom nonegogi. Chiengʼno nonego joma orwako lewni mayom mag dolo miluongo ni efod maromo ji piero aboro gabich.
And the king said to Doec, Turn thou, and fall upon the priests: and Doec the Syrian turned, and slew the priests of the Lord in that day, three hundred and five men, all wearing an ephod.
19 Eka nodhi Nob, e dala mar jodolo kendo kanyo nonegoe chwo, mon, nyithindo nyaka madhoth, dhok, punde kod rombe. Magi duto nonego gi ligangla.
And he smote Nomba the city of the priest with the edge of the sword, both man, and woman, infant and suckling, and calf, and ox, and sheep.
20 To Abiathar wuod Ahimelek ma wuod Ahitub notony moringo odhi ir Daudi.
And one son of Abimelech son of Achitob escapes, and his name [was] Abiathar, and he fled after David.
21 Abiathar nonyiso Daudi ni Saulo osenego jodolo mag Jehova Nyasaye.
And Abiathar told David that Saul had slain all the priests of the Lord.
22 Eka Daudi nowachone Abiathar niya, “E odiechiengʼno ka Doeg ja-Edom ne ni kanyo ne angʼeyo adier ni nyaka ne onyis Saulo. An ema akelo tho ne joka wuonu duto.
And David said to Abiathar, I knew it in that day, that Doec the Syrian would surely tell Saul: I am guilty of the death of the house of thy father.
23 Bed koda ka; kik iluor; ngʼato madwaro negino an bende odwaro nega. Onge gima nohinyi ka in koda.”
Dwell with me; fear not, for wherever I shall seek a place [of safety] for my life, I will also seek a place for thy life, for thou art safely guarded [while] with me.
