1 Samuel 30
1 Daudi kod joge nochopo Ziklag chiengʼ mar adek. Koro jo-Amalek noyudo osemonjo Negev gi Ziklag. Negipeyo Ziklag mi giwangʼe,
And when David and his men had arrived at Ziklag on the third day, the Amalekites had made an attack on the south side against Ziklag. And they 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 they had led the women in it away as captives, from the small to the great. And they had not killed anyone, but they led them away with them. And then they traveled on their journey.
3 Kane Daudi gi joge ochopo Ziklag, negiyudo ka osewangʼe gi mach kendo mondgi, yawuotgi gi nyigi nosemaki oter e twech.
Therefore, when David and his men had arrived at the city, and had found it burned with fire, and that their wives and their sons and daughters had been led away as captives,
4 Daudi gi joge noywak matek ma tekregi norumo makoro ok ginyal ywak.
David and the people who were with him lifted up their voices. And they mourned until the tears in them failed.
5 Mond Daudi ariyo bende ne osemaki ma gin Ahinoam nyar Jezreel gi Abigael ma dhako ma chwore otho mane jaod Nabal ja-Karmel.
For indeed, the two wives of David also had been led away as captives: Ahinoam, the Jezreelite, and Abigail, the wife of Nabal of Carmel.
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.
And David was greatly saddened. And the people were willing to stone him, because the soul of every man was bitter over his sons and daughters. But David was strengthened by the Lord his God.
7 Eka Daudi nowachone Abiathar jadolo, ma wuod Ahimelek niya, “Kelna law mayom mar dolo miluongo ni efod.” Abiathar nokelone,
And he said to the priest Abiathar, the son of Ahimelech, “Bring the ephod to me.” And 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.”
And David consulted the Lord, saying, “Shall I pursue these robbers, and will I overtake them, or not?” And the Lord said to him: “Pursue. For without doubt, you will overtake them and find the prey.”
9 Daudi gi joge mia auchiel nochopo e Holo mar Besor, joge moko nodongʼ kanyo,
Therefore, David went away, he and the six hundred men who were with him, and they arrived as far as the torrent Besor. And certain ones, being weary, stayed there.
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, who, being weary, were not able to cross the torrent Besor.
11 Negiyudo ja-Misri moro e pap mi gikele ir Daudi. Negimiye pi mondo omodhi gi chiemo mondo ocham
And they found an Egyptian man in the field, and they led him to David. And they gave him bread, so that he might eat, and water, so that he might 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.
and also a section of a mass of dried figs, and two clusters of dried grapes. And when he had eaten, his spirit returned, and he was refreshed. For he had not eaten bread, nor drank 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.
And so David said to him: “To whom do you belong? Or where are you from? And where are you going?” And he said: “I am a young man of Egypt, the servant of an Amalekite man. But my lord abandoned me, because I began to be sick the day before yesterday.
14 Ne wapeyo Negev mar jo-Kereth kod gwengʼ Juda to gi Negev ma piny Kaleb mine wawangʼo Ziklag.”
For indeed, we broke forth to the southern side of Cherethi, and against Judah, and to 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.”
And David said to him, “Are you able to lead me to this battle line?” And he said, “Swear to me by God that you will not kill me, and that you will not deliver me into the hands of my lord, and I will lead you to this battle line.” And David swore to him.
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.
And when he had led him, behold, they were stretched out on the face of the land everywhere, eating and drinking and celebrating, as if it were a feast day, because of all the prey and spoils that they had taken from the land of the Philistines, and from 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.
And David struck them down from evening until the evening of the next day. And no one among them escaped, except four hundred youths, who had climbed on camels and fled.
18 Daudi noreso gik moko duto mane jo-Amalek osepeyo kaachiel gi monde ariyo.
Therefore, David rescued all that the Amalekites had taken, and he 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.
And nothing was missing, from small even to great, among the sons and daughters, and among the spoils, and among everything whatsoever that they had seized. David returned it all.
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.”
And he took all the flocks and the herds, and he drove them before his face. And they said, “This is the prey of David.”
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.
Then David arrived at the two hundred men, who, being weary, had stayed, for they had not been able to follow David, and he had ordered them to remain at the torrent Besor. And they went out to meet David, and the people who were with him. Then David, drawing near to the people, greeted them peacefully.
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.”
And all the wicked and iniquitous men, out of the men who had gone with David, responding, said: “Since they did not go with us, we will not give to them anything from the prey that we have rescued. But let his wife and children be enough for each of them; when they have accepted this, they may go back.”
23 Daudi nodwoko niya, “Ooyo owetena, ok onego utim kamano gi gik ma Jehova Nyasaye osemiyowa. Oseritowa mi ochiwonwa joma nomonjowa.
But David said: “You shall not do this, my brothers, with these things that the Lord has delivered to us, for he has preserved us, and he has given into our hands the robbers who broke out among us.
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.”
And so, let no one heed you over these words. But equal shall be the portion of him who descended to the battle, and of him who remained with the supplies, and they will divide it alike.”
25 Daudi noketo ma obedo chik e Israel chakre chiengʼno nyaka chil kawuono.
And this has been done from that day and thereafter. And it was established as a statute, and as if a law, in Israel even 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.”
Then David went to Ziklag, and he sent gifts from the prey to the elders of Judah, his neighbors, saying, “Receive a blessing from the prey of the enemies of the Lord,”
27 Noorgi ni joma ne ni Bethel, Ramoth Negev gi Jatir,
to those who were in Bethel, and who were in Ramoth toward the south, and who were in Jattir,
28 gi joma ni Aroer, Sifmoth gi Eshtemoa,
and who were in Aroer, and who were in Siphmoth, and who were in Eshtemoa,
29 gi Rakal; gi jogo mane ni e mier matindo mag jo-Jeramel gi jo-Keni,
and who were in Racal, and who were in the cities of Jerahmeel, and who were in the cities of Keni,
30 to gi joma ni Horma, Bor Ashan gi Athak
and who were in Hormah, and who were at the lake of Ashan, and who were in Athach,
31 kod Hebron; to mago man e kuonde duto ma Daudi gi joge nosebedo kadhiye.
and who were in Hebron, and to the remainder who were in those places where David had stayed, he and his men.
