1 Samuel 14
1 Now it fell upon a day that Jonathan the son of Saul said to the young man who bore his armor, Come, and let us go over to the Philistines' garrison that is on yonder side. But he did not tell his father.
Chiengʼ moro achiel Jonathan wuod Saulo nowachone wuowi mane tingʼone gige lweny niya, “Bi mondo wadhi loka cha e kambi mar jo-Filistia.” To ne ok onyiso wuon-gi.
2 And Saul abode in the outermost part of Gibeah under the pomegranate tree which is in Migron. And the people who were with him were about six hundred men,
Noyudo Saulo ojot oko mar Gibea e tiend yadh moro man-gi olemo mongʼinore e Migron. Ji madirom mia auchiel ne ni kode kuno,
3 and Ahijah, the son of Ahitub, Ichabod's brother, the son of Phinehas, the son of Eli, the priest of Jehovah in Shiloh, wearing an ephod. And the people did not know that Jonathan was gone.
achiel kuom joma ne en godo kuno ne en Ahija mane orwako law mayom mar dolo miluongo ni efod. Ne en wuod owadgi Ikabod miluongo ni Ahitub wuod Finehas, ma wuod Eli, jadolo mar Jehova Nyasaye modak Shilo. Ne onge ngʼama ongʼeyo ni Jonathan ne osewuok.
4 And between the passes by which Jonathan sought to go over to the Philistines' garrison, there was a rocky crag on the one side, and a rocky crag on the other side. And the name of the one was Bozez, and the name of the other Seneh.
E dire koni gi kocha kuma ne Jonathan dwa ngʼado eka ochop e kambi jo-Filistia ne nitie geng got miluongo ni Bozez, to komachielo ne iluongo ni Sene.
5 The one crag rose up on the north in front of Michmash, and the other on the south in front of Geba.
Geng got achiel ne ni yo nyandwat mane omanyore gi Mikmash, to machielo ne ni yo milambo momanyore gi Geba.
6 And Jonathan said to the young man who bore his armor, Come, and let us go over to the garrison of these uncircumcised. It may be that Jehovah will work for us, for there is no limitation to Jehovah to save by many or by few.
Jonathan ne owacho ne wuowi matingʼo gige lwenje niya, “Bi mondo waidh wadhi e kambi joma ok oter nyangugi. Kamoro dipo ka Jehova Nyasaye nyalo tiyo kodwa. Onge gima nyalo tamo Jehova Nyasaye reso kata ka gin ji mangʼeny kata ka gin ji manok.”
7 And his armor bearer said to him, Do all that is in thy heart. Turn thee, behold, I am with thee according to thy heart.
Jatingʼ gige lwenje nodwoke niya, “Tim atima gima ni e chunyi nikech an chunya gi pacha ni kodi.”
8 Then Jonathan said, Behold, we will pass over to the men, and we will disclose ourselves to them.
Jonathan nowachone niya, “Koro bi, wangʼad wadhi irgi mondo omi ginewa.
9 If they say thus to us, Tarry until we come to you, then we will stand still in our place, and will not go up to them.
Ka giwachonwa ni, ‘Rituru kanyo nyaka wabi iru,’ to wabiro chungʼ achungʼa kama wantie kendo ok wanadhi irgi.
10 But if they say thus, Come up to us, then we will go up, for Jehovah has delivered them into our hand, and this shall be the sign to us.
To kagiwacho ni, ‘Biuru irwa,’ to wabiro idho malo, nikech mano biro bedonwa ranyisi ni Jehova Nyasaye oseketogi e lwetwa.”
11 And both of them disclosed themselves to the garrison of the Philistines. And the Philistines said, Behold, the Hebrews come forth out of the holes where they had hid themselves.
Omiyo giduto ji ariyogo ne giwuok e lela mondo jo-Filistia manie kambigi onegi. Eka jo-Filistia nowacho niya, “Neuru! Jo-Hibrania mol kawuok ae buche mane gipondoe.”
12 And the men of the garrison answered Jonathan and his armor bearer, and said, Come up to us, and we will show you a thing. And Jonathan said to his armor bearer, Come up after me, for Jehovah has delivered them into the hand of Israel.
Eka ji duto mane ni e kambi nokok ni Jonathan gi jatingʼne gi lwenje niya, “Biuru irwa mondo une gima wabiro timonu.” Omiyo Jonathan nowacho ni jatingʼ gi lwenje niya, “Idh iluwa Jehova Nyasaye oseketogi e lwet jo-Israel.”
13 And Jonathan climbed up upon his hands and upon his feet, and his armor bearer after him. And they fell before Jonathan, and his armor bearer killed them after him.
Jonathan ne idho got kokonyore gi lwetene gi tiendene, to jatingʼ gige lwenje luwo bangʼe. Jo-Filistia nopodho e nyim Jonathan, ka jatingʼ gige lwenje luwo bangʼe kendo negogi.
14 And that first slaughter, which Jonathan and his armor bearer made, was about twenty men, within as it were half a furrow's length in an acre of land.
E kedo mokwongono Jonathan kaachiel gi jatingʼ gige lwenjene nonego ji piero ariyo e alwora mar nus heka.
15 And there was a trembling in the camp, in the field, and among all the people. The garrison, and the spoilers, they also trembled. And the earth quaked, so there was an exceedingly great trembling.
Bwok maduongʼ nomako jolweny mane ni e kambi gi mago mane ni e paw lweny, kata mana mago mane ni e kambi matindo tindo kendo piny duto noyiengni. Ne en kihondko moor gi Nyasaye.
16 And the watchmen of Saul in Gibeah of Benjamin looked, and, behold, the multitude melted away, and they went here and there.
Jorito mag Saulo mane ni Gibea ei Benjamin noneno ka jolweny jo-Filistia ringo koni gi koni.
17 Then Saul said to the people who were with him, Number now, and see who has gone from us. And when they had numbered, behold, Jonathan and his armor bearer were not there.
Saulo nonyiso joma ne ni kode niya kwanreuru mondo une ni ngʼatno mosewuok e dierwa ka, kane gisetimo kamano negiyudo ni en Jonathan gi jatingʼ gige lwenje ema onge kanyo.
18 And Saul said to Ahijah, Bring here the ark of God. For the ark of God was there at that time with the sons of Israel.
Saulo nowachone Ahija ni kel Sandug Muma mar Nyasaye mane jo-Israel nigo e kindeno.
19 And it came to pass, while Saul talked to the priest, that the tumult that was in the camp of the Philistines went on and increased. And Saul said to the priest, Withdraw thy hand.
Kane Saulo pod wuoyo gi jadolo, to mahu mane ni e kambi jo-Filistia ne medore ameda. Omiyo Saulo nowachone jadolo niya, “Gol lweti ewi Sandug Muma.”
20 And Saul and all the people who were with him were gathered together, and came to the battle. And, behold, every man's sword was against his fellow, and there was a very great discomfiture.
Eka Saulo gi joge nochokore mi gidhi e lweny. Negiyudo ka jo-Filistia pachgi ok ti, kendo gingʼadore gi ligangla kendgi giwegi.
21 Now the Hebrews who were with the Philistines as formerly, and who went up with them into the camp, from the country round about, even they also turned to be with the Israelites who were with Saul and Jonathan.
Jo-Hibrania mane oyudo konyo jo-Filistia kedo mane ni kodgi e kambi, nodok ir jo-Israel mane nigi Saulo gi Jonathan.
22 Likewise all the men of Israel who had hid themselves in the hill-country of Ephraim, when they heard that the Philistines fled, even they also followed close after them in the battle.
Kane jo-Israel duto mane oyudo opondo e piny gode man Efraim owinjo ni jo-Filistia ringo, negidonjo e lweny kendo ne gilawogi matek.
23 So Jehovah saved Israel that day, and the battle passed over by Beth-aven.
Omiyo Jehova Nyasaye ne oreso jo-Israel chiengʼno, eka lweny nosudo mokadho Beth Aven.
24 And the men of Israel were distressed that day, for Saul had adjured the people, saying, Cursed be the man who eats any food until it be evening, and I be avenged on my enemies. So none of the people tasted food.
Koro jo-Israel ne ool ahinya odiechiengno, nikech Saulo ne oketogi ma gikwongʼore ka owacho niya, “Okwongʼ ngʼato angʼata machiemo ka piny pok oyuso, kapok achulo kuor ni wasika!” Omiyo onge ngʼama nobilo chiemo.
25 And all the people came into the forest, and there was honey upon the ground.
To jolweny duto ne odonjo ei bungu to ne nitie mor kich piny.
26 And when the people came to the forest, behold, the honey dropped, but no man put his hand to his mouth, for the people feared the oath.
Kane gidhi e bungu negineno mor kich ka chwer piny, to kata kamano onge ngʼama ne otero lwete mondo otere e dhoge, nikech negiluoro kwongʼ.
27 But Jonathan heard not when his father charged the people with the oath, therefore he put forth the end of the rod that was in his hand, and dipped it in the honeycomb, and put his hand to his mouth, and his eyes were enlightened.
Jonathan to ne ok owinjo ni wuon ne ose kwero ji gi kwongʼ, omiyo nochwowo pedni mar kich gi luth mane ni e lwete. Notingʼo lwete malo motero mor kich e dhoge mi chunye ne odwogo.
28 Then one of the people answered, and said, Thy father strictly charged the people with an oath, saying, Cursed be the man who eats food this day, and the people were faint.
Eka achiel kuom jolweny nowachone niya, “Wuoru nokwero jolweny matek gi kwongʼ kowacho ni, ‘Okwongʼ ngʼama ochamo chiemo kawuono! Mano ema omiyo ji ool.’”
29 Then Jonathan said, My father has troubled the land. See, I pray you, how my eyes have been enlightened because I tasted a little of this honey.
Jonathan nowacho niya, “Wuora osekelo chandruok ne piny. Ne kaka koro Awinjo maber bangʼ bilo mor kich matin.
30 How much more, if haply the people had eaten freely today of the spoil of their enemies which they found? For now there has been no great slaughter among the Philistines.
Dine obedo maber manade ka dine ji ochamo gik mamoko moyaki kuom wasigu kawuono. Donge dine wanego jo-Filistia mangʼeny?”
31 And they smote of the Philistines that day from Michmash to Aijalon. And the people were very faint,
E odiechiengno, bangʼ ka jo-Israel noseloyo jo-Filistia ne gilawogi koa Mikmash nyaka Aijalon kendo ne giol ahinya.
32 and the people flew upon the spoil, and took sheep, and oxen, and calves, and killed them on the ground. And the people ate them with the blood.
Negimuomore kuom gik moyaki, mine gikawo rombe, dhok, gi nyiroye, negiketogi piny migi yangʼogi kendo chamogi ka gitimo remo.
33 Then they told Saul, saying, Behold, the people sin against Jehovah, in that they eat with the blood. And he said, ye have dealt treacherously. Roll a great stone to me this day.
Eka ngʼato nowachone Saulo niya, “Neye kaka ji timo richo ni Jehova Nyasaye ka gichamo ringʼo motimo remo.” Eka nowacho niya, “Useketho yie. Ngʼielnauru kidi maduongʼno ukel ka.”
34 And Saul said, Disperse yourselves among the people, and say to them, Bring me here every man his ox, and every man his sheep, and kill them here, and eat. And sin not against Jehovah in eating with the blood. And all the people brought every man his ox with him that night, and killed them there.
Eka nowacho niya, “Dhiuru ir oganda kendo unyisgi ni, ‘Ngʼato ka ngʼato kuomu mondo okelna dhogene kod rombege, kendo oneg-gi ka mi uchamgi. Kik utim richo ne Jehova Nyasaye kuom chamo ringʼo motimo remo.’” Omiyo ngʼato ka ngʼato ne okelo rwadhe otienono mine giyangʼogi kanyo.
35 And Saul built an altar to Jehovah; the same was the first altar that he built to Jehovah.
Eka Saulo nogero kendo mar misango ne Jehova Nyasaye, mano e chiengʼ mokwongo mane otime ma.
36 And Saul said, Let us go down after the Philistines by night, and take spoil among them until the morning light, and let us not leave a man of them. And they said, Do whatever seems good to thee. Then the priest said, Let us draw near here to God.
Saulo nowacho niya, “Wadhiuru mwalo mondo walaw jo-Filistia gotieno, mondo watiekgi nyaka kogwen kendo moro amora kuomgi kik dongʼ kangima.” Negidwoko niya, “Tim gima ineno ni berni.” To jadolo nowacho niya, “Wapenjuru Nyasaye wach mondi.”
37 And Saul asked counsel of God, Shall I go down after the Philistines? Will thou deliver them into the hand of Israel? But he did not answer him that day.
Omiyo Saulo nopenjo Nyasaye niya, “Bende anyalo lawo jo-Filistia? Ibiro ketogi e lwet jo-Israel koso?” To Nyasaye ne ok odwoke chiengʼno.
38 And Saul said, Draw near here, all ye chiefs of the people, and know and see how this sin has been this day.
Saulo nowacho niya, “Biuru ka, un duto ma un jotelo mag jolweny, mondo wayud ni richo mane mosetim kawuono.
39 For, as Jehovah lives, who saves Israel, though it be in Jonathan my son, he shall surely die. But there was not a man among all the people who answered him.
Adieri gi nying Jehova Nyasaye ma reso Israel, kata ka en wuoda Jonathan ema wachni omako to nyaka otho.” To onge ngʼat machielo mane owuoyo.
40 Then he said to all Israel, Be ye on one side, and I and Jonathan my son will be on the other side. And the people said to Saul, Do what seems good to thee.
Saulo nowachone jo-Israel duto niya, “Un chungʼuru konchiel ka an kod Jonathan wuoda to wachungʼ bathe komachielo.” Ji nodwoko niya, “Tim gima ineno ni berni.”
41 Therefore Saul said to Jehovah, the God of Israel, Show the right. And Jonathan and Saul were taken by lot, but the people escaped.
Bangʼe Saulo nolamo Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasach Israel niya, “En angʼo momiyo pod ok idwoko jatichni kawuono? Ka dipo ni iyudo ketho moro kuoma kata kuom wuoda Jonathan, to chiw ombulu miluongo ni Urim, to ka dipo ni jo-Israel ema oketho, ni chiw ombulu miluongo ni Thumim.” Omiyo Saulo gi Jonathan ema noyier gi ombulu, to jo-Israel nowe.
42 And Saul said, Cast lots between me and Jonathan my son. And Jonathan was taken.
Saulo nowacho niya, “Gouru ombulu e kinda gi Jonathan wuoda.” Mi ombulu nolwar kuom Jonathan.
43 Then Saul said to Jonathan, Tell me what thou have done. And Jonathan told him, and said, I did certainly taste a little honey with the end of the rod that was in my hand. And, lo, I must die.
Eka Saulo nowacho ni Jonathan niya, “Wachna gima isetimo.” Jonathan nowachone niya, “Ne abilo mor kich matin mane ni e dho ludha. Koro ochuno ni nyaka atho?”
44 And Saul said, God do so and more also, for thou shall surely die, Jonathan.
Saulo nowacho niya, “Nyasaye mondo okweda, ka ok itho in Jonathan.”
45 And the people said to Saul, Shall Jonathan die, who has wrought this great salvation in Israel? Far from it. As Jehovah lives, there shall not one hair of his head fall to the ground, for he has wrought with God this day. So the people rescued Jonathan, that he did not die.
To ji nowachone Saulo niya, “Bende Jonathan ditho to en ema osekelo konyruok maduongʼ kama e Israel? Ok nyalre! Akwongʼora gi nying Jehova Nyasaye mangima ni kata yie wiye achiel ok nolwar piny nikech Jehova Nyasaye ema okonye timo ma.” Kamano ji noreso Jonathan kendo ne ok onege.
46 Then Saul went up from following the Philistines, and the Philistines went to their own place.
Eka Saulo noweyo lawo jo-Filistia mine gidok thurgi.
47 Now when Saul had taken the kingdom over Israel, he fought against all his enemies on every side, against Moab, and against the sons of Ammon, and against Edom, and against the kings of Zobah, and against the Philistines. And wherever he turned himself, he put them to the worse.
Bangʼ ka Saulo nosekawo loch e piny Israel, nokedo gi wasikgi koni gi koni kaka jo-Moab, jo-Amon, jo-Edom, gi ruodhi mag Zoba to gi jo-Filistia. Kamoro amora mane odhiye ne osandogi.
48 And he did valiantly, and smote the Amalekites, and delivered Israel out of the hands of those who despoiled them.
Nokedo gi chir moloyo jo-Amalek, moreso jo-Israel oa e lwet joma nosebet ka yako gigegi.
49 Now the sons of Saul were Jonathan, and Ishvi, and Malchishua. And the names of his two daughters were these: the name of the firstborn Merab, and the name of the younger Michal.
Yawuot Saulo ne gin Jonathan, Ishvi, gi Malki-Shua. Nying nyare maduongʼ ne en Merab to nyako ma chogo ne nyinge Mikal.
50 And the name of Saul's wife was Ahinoam the daughter of Ahimaaz. And the name of the captain of his army was Abner the son of Ner, Saul's uncle.
Chiege ne nyinge Ahinoam nyar Ahimaz. Jatend jolweny ne Abner wuod Ner, Ner ne en owadgi wuon Saulo.
51 And Kish was the father of Saul, and Ner the father of Abner was the son of Abiel.
Wuon Saulo ma Kish gi wuon Abner ma wuon Ner ne yawuot Abiel.
52 And there was great war against the Philistines all the days of Saul. And when Saul saw any mighty man, or any valiant man, he took him to him.
E ndalo duto mag Saulo ne nitie lweny malit ahinya e kinde gi jo-Filistia, kendo kinde ma Saulo noneno ngʼat maratego kata mathuon to ne okawe mondo obed jalwenje.
