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 it came to pass, when David and his men were come to Ziklag on the third day, that the Amalekites had invaded the south, and Ziklag, and smitten 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 the women captives that [were] in it, they slew not any, either great or small, but carried [them] away, and went on their way.
3 Kane Daudi gi joge ochopo Ziklag, negiyudo ka osewangʼe gi mach kendo mondgi, yawuotgi gi nyigi nosemaki oter e twech.
So David and his men came to the city, and behold, [it was] burned with fire; and their wives, and their sons, and their daughters, were taken captives.
4 Daudi gi joge noywak matek ma tekregi norumo makoro ok ginyal ywak.
Then David and the people that [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.
And David's two wives were taken captives, 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.
And David was greatly distressed: for the people spoke of stoning him, because the soul of all the people was grieved, every man for his sons, and for his daughters: but David encouraged 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,
And David said to Abiathar the priest, Ahimelech's son, I pray thee bring me hither the ephod. And Abiathar brought thither 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 inquired of the LORD, saying, Shall I pursue this troop? shall I overtake them? And he answered him, Pursue; for thou shalt surely overtake [them], and 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 that [were] with him, and came to the brook Besor, where those that were left behind remained.
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 abode 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
And they found an Egyptian in the field, and brought him to David, and gave him bread, and he ate; and they made him drink water;
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 they gave him a piece of a cake of figs, and two clusters of raisins: and when he had eaten, his spirit came again to him: for he had eaten no bread, nor drank [any] water, 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 David said to him, To whom [belongest] thou? and whence [art] thou? And he said, I [am] a young man of Egypt, servant to an Amalekite; and my master left me, because three days ago I fell sick.
14 Ne wapeyo Negev mar jo-Kereth kod gwengʼ Juda to gi Negev ma piny Kaleb mine wawangʼo Ziklag.”
We made an invasion [upon] the south of the Cherethites, and upon [the coast] which [belongeth] to Judah, and upon 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, Canst thou conduct me down to this company? And he said, Swear to me by God, that thou wilt neither kill me, nor deliver me into the hands of my master, and I will lead thee down to this company.
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 conducted him down, behold, [they were] spread abroad upon all the earth, eating and drinking, and dancing, because of all the great spoil 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 smote them from the twilight even to the evening of the next day: and there escaped not a man of them, save four hundred young men, who rode upon camels, and fled.
18 Daudi noreso gik moko duto mane jo-Amalek osepeyo kaachiel gi monde ariyo.
And David recovered all that the Amalekites had carried away: 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.
And there was nothing lacking to them, neither small nor great, neither sons nor daughters, neither spoil, nor any [thing] that they had taken to them: David recovered 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 David took all the flocks and the herds, [which] they drove before those [other] cattle, and said, This [is] David's spoil.
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.
And David came to the two hundred men, who were so faint that they could not follow David, whom they had made also to abide at the brook Besor: and they went forth to meet David, and to meet the people that [were] with him: and when David came near to the people, he saluted 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 answered all the wicked men, and [men] of Belial, of those that went with David, and said, Because they went not with us, we will not give them [aught] of the spoil that we have recovered, save to every man his wife and his children, that they 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 said David, Ye shall not do so, my brethren, with that which the LORD hath given us, who hath preserved us, and delivered the company 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.”
For who will hearken to you in this matter? but as his part [is] that goeth down to the battle, so [shall] his part [be] that tarrieth by the goods: they shall part alike.
25 Daudi noketo ma obedo chik e Israel chakre chiengʼno nyaka chil kawuono.
And 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.”
And when David came to Ziklag, he sent of the spoil to the elders of Judah, [even] to his friends, saying, Behold a present for you, of the spoil of the enemies of the LORD;
27 Noorgi ni joma ne ni Bethel, Ramoth Negev gi Jatir,
To [them] who [were] in Beth-el, and to [them] who [were] in south Ramoth, and to [them] who [were] in Jattir,
28 gi joma ni Aroer, Sifmoth gi Eshtemoa,
And to [them] who [were] in Aroer, and to [them] who [were] in Siphmoth, and to [them] who [were] in Eshtemoa,
29 gi Rakal; gi jogo mane ni e mier matindo mag jo-Jeramel gi jo-Keni,
And to [them] who [were] in Rachal, and to [them] who [were] in the cities of the Jerahmeelites, and to [them] who [were] in the cities of the Kenites,
30 to gi joma ni Horma, Bor Ashan gi Athak
And to [them] who [were] in Hormah, and to [them] who [were] in Chor-ashan, and to [them] who [were] in Athach,
31 kod Hebron; to mago man e kuonde duto ma Daudi gi joge nosebedo kadhiye.
And to [them] who [were] in Hebron, and to all the places where David himself and his men were accustomed to resort.
