1 Samuel 30
1 Daudi kod joge nochopo Ziklag chiengʼ mar adek. Koro jo-Amalek noyudo osemonjo Negev gi Ziklag. Negipeyo Ziklag mi giwangʼe,
When David and his men had come to Ziklag on the third day, the Amalekites had made a raid on the South and on Ziklag, and had struck Ziklag and burned it with fire,
2 kendo gimako mon kod ji duto mane ni kanyo, jomatindo kod jomadongo ma giteroe twech. To ne ok ginego ngʼato kuomgi, to ne gikawogi ma gidhi kodgi.
and had taken captive the women and all who were in it, both small and great. They did not kill any, but carried them off and went their way.
3 Kane Daudi gi joge ochopo Ziklag, negiyudo ka osewangʼe gi mach kendo mondgi, yawuotgi gi nyigi nosemaki oter e twech.
When David and his men came to the city, behold, it was burned with fire; and their wives, their sons, and their daughters were taken captive.
4 Daudi gi joge noywak matek ma tekregi norumo makoro ok ginyal ywak.
Then David and the people who were with him lifted up their voice and wept until they had no more power to weep.
5 Mond Daudi ariyo bende ne osemaki ma gin Ahinoam nyar Jezreel gi Abigael ma dhako ma chwore otho mane jaod Nabal ja-Karmel.
David’s two wives were taken captive, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess, and Abigail the wife of Nabal the Carmelite.
6 Daudi ne chunye ool nikech jogo ne wacho ni mondo ochiele gi kite; ka moro ka moro ne winjo lit nikech yawuote gi nyige. Daudi to noyudo teko moa kuom Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasache.
David was greatly distressed, for the people spoke of stoning him, because the souls of all the people were grieved, every man for his sons and for his daughters; but David strengthened himself in the LORD his God.
7 Eka Daudi nowachone Abiathar jadolo, ma wuod Ahimelek niya, “Kelna law mayom mar dolo miluongo ni efod.” Abiathar nokelone,
David said to Abiathar the priest, the son of Ahimelech, “Please bring the ephod here to me.” Abiathar brought the ephod to David.
8 mi Daudi nopenjo Jehova Nyasaye wach ni, “Bende dalaw joma osepeyowagi. Bende dajukgi?” Nodwoke niya, “Lawgi. Chutho inijukgi mi inires jogi duto.”
David inquired of the LORD, saying, “If I pursue after this troop, will I overtake them?” He answered him, “Pursue, for you will surely overtake them, and will without fail recover all.”
9 Daudi gi joge mia auchiel nochopo e Holo mar Besor, joge moko nodongʼ kanyo,
So David went, he and the six hundred men who were with him, and came to the brook Besor, where those who were left behind stayed.
10 nimar ji mia ariyo nool ahinya mane ok ginyal ngʼado holono. To Daudi gi ji mia angʼwen nodhi nyime gi lepo.
But David pursued, he and four hundred men; for two hundred stayed behind, who were so faint that they could not go over the brook Besor.
11 Negiyudo ja-Misri moro e pap mi gikele ir Daudi. Negimiye pi mondo omodhi gi chiemo mondo ocham
They found an Egyptian in the field, and brought him to David, and gave him bread, and he ate; and they gave him water to drink.
12 nus mar kek molos gi olemb ngʼowu to gi kek molos gi resin. Nochiemo ma chunye noduogo nikech noyudo pok ochiemo kata modho pi kuom odiechienge adek gi otieno bende.
They gave him a piece of a cake of figs and two clusters of raisins. When he had eaten, his spirit came again to him; for he had eaten no bread, and drank no water for three days and three nights.
13 Daudi nopenje niya, “In ngʼat ngʼa? To in jakanye?” Nowacho niya, “An ja-Misri ma misumba ja-Amalek. Ruodha nojwangʼa moweya, ka tuo nogoya ndalo adek mokadho.
David asked him, “To whom do you belong? Where are you from?” He said, “I am a young man of Egypt, servant to an Amalekite; and my master left me, because three days ago I got sick.
14 Ne wapeyo Negev mar jo-Kereth kod gwengʼ Juda to gi Negev ma piny Kaleb mine wawangʼo Ziklag.”
We made a raid on the South of the Cherethites, and on that which belongs to Judah, and on the South of Caleb; and we burned Ziklag with fire.”
15 Daudi nopenje niya, “Bende inyalo tera ir jopechogi?” Nodwoke niya, “Kwongʼrina e nyim Nyasaye ni ok ninega kata dwoka e lwet ruodha, to abiro teri irgi.”
David said to him, “Will you bring me down to this troop?” He said, “Swear to me by God that you will not kill me and not deliver me up into the hands of my master, and I will bring you down to this troop.”
16 Notelo ni Daudi ka gilor mwalo, kendo ne giyudogi ka gike e pap, ka gichiemo kendo metho ka gin gimor maduongʼ nikech gik mane gipeyo e piny jo-Filistia gi piny Juda ne thoth ahinya.
When he had brought him down, behold, they were spread around over all the ground, eating, drinking, and dancing, because of all the great plunder that they had taken out of the land of the Philistines, and out of the land of Judah.
17 Daudi nokedo kodgi chakre yuso piny nyaka kinyne godhiambo. Kendo ne onge ngʼat mane otony modhi makmana yawuowi mia angʼwen mane oidho ngamia kende ema noringo otony.
David struck them from the twilight even to the evening of the next day. Not a man of them escaped from there, except four hundred young men who rode on camels and fled.
18 Daudi noreso gik moko duto mane jo-Amalek osepeyo kaachiel gi monde ariyo.
David recovered all that the Amalekites had taken, and David rescued his two wives.
19 Onge gimoro amora mane olal bed ni en ngʼama tin kata ngʼama duongʼ, wuowi kata nyako, gik mane ope kata gik mane gikawo, Daudi nodwoko gik moko duto.
There was nothing lacking to them, neither small nor great, neither sons nor daughters, neither plunder, nor anything that they had taken. David brought them all back.
20 Nokawo kweth mag jamni kod mag dhok mi joge nosembogi e nyim kweth mag jamni mamoko kowacho niya, “Magi gin gik ma Daudi opeyo.”
David took all the flocks and the herds, which they drove before those other livestock, and said, “This is David’s plunder.”
21 Eka Daudi noduogo e Holo mar Besor kama ji mia ariyo mane ool mane ok nyal dhi kode nodongʼie. Negibiro mondo girom ni Daudi gi ji mane ni kode. Ka Daudi gi joge nosudo machiegni nomosogi.
David came to the two hundred men, who were so faint that they could not follow David, whom also they had made to stay at the brook Besor; and they went out to meet David, and to meet the people who were with him. When David came near to the people, he greeted them.
22 To joricho duto gi joma acheje mane ni ei joma luwo Daudi nowacho niya, “Nikech ne ok gidhi kodwa, ok wabi pogo kodgi gik mope ma wadwoko. To kata kamano ngʼato ka ngʼato okaw chiege gi nyithinde mondo odhigo.”
Then all the wicked men and worthless fellows of those who went with David answered and said, “Because they did not go with us, we will not give them anything of the plunder that we have recovered, except to every man his wife and his children, that he may lead them away and depart.”
23 Daudi nodwoko niya, “Ooyo owetena, ok onego utim kamano gi gik ma Jehova Nyasaye osemiyowa. Oseritowa mi ochiwonwa joma nomonjowa.
Then David said, “Do not do so, my brothers, with that which the LORD has given to us, who has preserved us, and delivered the troop that came against us into our hand.
24 Ngʼama biro winjo wachu? Pok mar joma nodongʼ karito gigewa biro bedo marom gi pok ngʼat mane odhi e lweny. Ji duto biro yudo maromre.”
Who will listen to you in this matter? For as his share is who goes down to the battle, so shall his share be who stays with the baggage. They shall share alike.”
25 Daudi noketo ma obedo chik e Israel chakre chiengʼno nyaka chil kawuono.
It was so from that day forward that he made it a statute and an ordinance for Israel to this day.
26 Ka Daudi nochopo Ziklag nooro joote gi gik mope ne jodong Juda mosiepene, kowacho niya, “Ero aoronu mich kuom gik mope mag jowasik Jehova Nyasaye.”
When David came to Ziklag, he sent some of the plunder to the elders of Judah, even to his friends, saying, “Behold, a present for you from the plunder of the LORD’s enemies.”
27 Noorgi ni joma ne ni Bethel, Ramoth Negev gi Jatir,
He sent it to those who were in Bethel, to those who were in Ramoth of the South, to those who were in Jattir,
28 gi joma ni Aroer, Sifmoth gi Eshtemoa,
to those who were in Aroer, to those who were in Siphmoth, to those who were in Eshtemoa,
29 gi Rakal; gi jogo mane ni e mier matindo mag jo-Jeramel gi jo-Keni,
to those who were in Racal, to those who were in the cities of the Jerahmeelites, to those who were in the cities of the Kenites,
30 to gi joma ni Horma, Bor Ashan gi Athak
to those who were in Hormah, to those who were in Borashan, to those who were in Athach,
31 kod Hebron; to mago man e kuonde duto ma Daudi gi joge nosebedo kadhiye.
to those who were in Hebron, and to all the places where David himself and his men used to stay.
