1 Samuel 26
1 And the Ziphites came to Saul to Gibeah, saying, Does not David hide himself in the hill of Hachilah, which is before the desert?
Jo-Zif nodhi Gibea ir Saulo ma giwachone niya, “Donge Daudi opondo ewi got Hakila momanyore gi Jeshimon?”
2 Then Saul arose, and went down to the wilderness of Ziph, having three thousand chosen men of Israel with him, to seek David in the wilderness of Ziph.
Eka Saulo nodhi mwalo e piny motimo ongoro e Zif, nodhi gi joge alufu adek, jo-Israel moyier, mondo odwar Daudi kuno.
3 And Saul encamped in the hill of Hachilah, which is before the desert by the way. But David abode in the wilderness, and he saw that Saul came after him into the wilderness.
Saulo noloso kambine but yo man e got Hakila momanyore gi Jeshimon, Daudi to ni kama otwo ma otimo ongoro. Kane oneno ni Saulo noseluwe kuno,
4 David therefore sent out spies, and understood that Saul definitely came.
ne ooro jombetre mane ongʼeyo ratiro ni Saulo nosechopo.
5 And David arose, and came to the place where Saul had encamped. And David beheld the place where Saul lay, and Abner the son of Ner, the captain of his army. And Saul lay within the place of the wagons, and the people were encamped around about him.
Eka Daudi nowuok modhi kuma Saulo nojotie. Noneno kama Saulo gi Abner wuod Ner ma jatend jolwenje, noyudo osenindoe. Saulo ne nindo ei kambi, ka jolweny olwore.
6 Then David answered and said to Ahimelech the Hittite, and to Abishai the son of Zeruiah, brother to Joab, saying, Who will go down with me to Saul to the camp? And Abishai said, I will go down with thee.
Daudi nopenjo Ahimelek ja-Hiti gi Abishai wuod Zeruya, mowadgi Joab niya, “Ngʼama biro dhi koda mwalo e kambi ir Saulo?” Abishai nowacho niya, “Abiro dhi kodi.”
7 So David and Abishai came to the people by night. And, behold, Saul lay sleeping within the place of the wagons with his spear stuck in the ground at his head, and Abner and the people lay round about him.
Daudi gi Abishai nodhi ir jolweny gotieno, Saulo nonindo kanyo e kambi kochwoyo tonge piny yo ka wiye. Abner gi jolweny nonindo kolwore.
8 Then said Abishai to David, God has delivered up thine enemy into thy hand this day. Now therefore let me smite him, I pray thee, with the spear to the earth at one stroke, and I will not smite him the second time.
Abishai nowachone Daudi niya, “Kawuono Nyasaye oseketo jasiki e lweti. Koro yiena mondo achwowe dichiel gi tonga; ok abi chwowe diriyo.”
9 And David said to Abishai, Destroy him not, for who can put forth his hand against Jehovah's anointed, and be guiltless?
To Daudi nowachone Abishai niya, “Kik inege! En ngʼa manyalo keto lwete kuom ngʼat Jehova Nyasaye mowir ma ok oket ne bura?”
10 And David said, As Jehovah lives, Jehovah will smite him, or his day shall come to die, or he shall go down into battle and perish.
Nowacho niya, “Akwongʼora gi nying Jehova Nyasaye mangima, ni Jehova Nyasaye owuon ema nonege; kata ndalone chiengʼ moro nochopi mi otho kata nodhi e lweny mi notho kuno.
11 Jehovah forbid that I should put forth my hand against Jehovah's anointed. But now take, I pray thee, the spear that is at his head, and the cruse of water, and let us go.
To Jehova Nyasaye ok diyiena ni mondo ater lweta kuom ngʼat Jehova Nyasaye mowir. Koro kaw tongʼ gi puga mar pi machiegni gi wiye kaeto wadhi.”
12 So David took the spear and the cruse of water from Saul's head, and they got away. And no man saw it, nor knew it, neither did any awake, for they were all asleep, because a deep sleep from Jehovah was fallen upon them.
Omiyo Daudi nokawo tongʼ kod puga mar pi mane nitie machiegni gi wi Saulo kendo negidhi. Onge ngʼama nonenogi kata mane ongʼeyo wachno, bende onge ngʼama ne ochiewo. Giduto ne ginindo, nikech Jehova Nyasaye nomiyogi nindo matut.
13 Then David went over to the other side, and stood on the top of the mountain afar off, a great space being between them.
Eka Daudi nongʼado modhi loka machielo mochungʼ ewi got kuma bor; ne odhi mochwalore kodgi; ne nitie thuolo malach e kindgi.
14 And David cried out to the people, and to Abner the son of Ner, saying, Answer thou not, Abner? Then Abner answered and said, Who are thou that cries to the king?
Nopenjo jolweny kod Abner wuod Ner niya, “Bende unyalo dwoka, Abner?” Abner nodwoke niya, “In ngʼa maluongo ruoth?”
15 And David said to Abner, Are not thou a valiant man? And who is like to thee in Israel? Why then have thou not kept watch over thy lord the king? For there came one of the people in to destroy the king thy lord.
Daudi nopenjo Abner niya, “Donge in ngʼama dichwo? To ere ngʼama chal kodi e Israel? Angʼo momiyo ne ok irito ruodhi ma en ruoth? Ngʼato nobiro mondo oneg ruodhi ma ruoth.
16 This thing is not good that thou have done. As Jehovah lives, ye are worthy to die because ye have not kept watch over your lord, Jehovah's anointed. And now see where the king's spear is, and the cruse of water that was at his head.
Gima isetimo ok ber. Akwongʼora gi nying Jehova Nyasaye mangima ni in kod jogi uwinjoru gi tho, nikech ne ok urito ruodhu ma ngʼat Jehova Nyasaye mowir. Ranguru anena, ere tongʼ mar ruoth gi puga mar pi mane nitiere machiegni gi wiye?”
17 And Saul knew David's voice, and said, Is this thy voice, my son David? And David said, It is my voice, my lord, O king.
Saulo nochamo dwond Daudi mowacho niya, “Mano en dwondi Daudi wuoda?” Daudi nodwoke niya, “Ee mano dwonda ruodha ma ruoth.”
18 And he said, Why does my lord pursue after his servant? For what have I done? Or what evil is in my hand?
Kendo nomedo wacho niya, “Angʼo momiyo ruodha lawo jatichne? Angʼo masetimo, rach mane madimi abed jaketho?
19 Now therefore, I pray thee, let my lord the king hear the words of his servant. If it be Jehovah who has stirred thee up against me, let him accept an offering, but if it be the sons of men, cursed be they before Jehovah. For they have driven me out this day that I should not cling to the inheritance of Jehovah, saying, Go, serve other gods.
Koro ruoth ma ruodha oyie owinj weche ma jatije wacho. Ka diponi Jehova Nyasaye ema thuya kodi, to madoyie okaw misango. To ka dipo ni ji ema timo mano to mondo okwongʼ-gi e nyim Jehova Nyasaye! Koro giseriemba mondo kik ayud girkeni ma Jehova Nyasaye omiya kagiwacho ni, ‘Dhi iti ne nyiseche mamoko.’
20 Now therefore, let not my blood fall to the earth away from the presence of Jehovah. For the king of Israel has come out to seek a flea, as when a man hunts a partridge in the mountains.
Koro yie mondo remba kik oo piny kuma bor gi kama Jehova Nyasaye nitie. Ruodh Israel osewuok mondo odwar kikun mana kaka ngʼato dwaro winyo e gode.”
21 Then Saul said, I have sinned. Return, my son David, for I will no more do thee harm because my life was precious in thine eyes this day. Behold, I have played the fool, and have erred exceedingly.
Eka Saulo nowacho niya, “Asetimo marach, omiyo duogi, Daudi wuoda. Nikech ne ineno ni ngimana ber kendo owinjore bedie kawuono. Ok nachak atem mondo ahinyi kendo. Adieri asetimo tim ngʼat mofuwo kendo aseketho marach.”
22 And David answered and said, Behold the spear, O king! Let then one of the young men come over and fetch it.
Daudi nodwoko niya, “Tongʼ mar ruoth eri ni ka. Or achiel kuom yawuowi obi oome.
23 And Jehovah will render to every man his righteousness and his faithfulness, inasmuch as Jehovah delivered thee into my hand today, and I would not put forth my hand against Jehovah's anointed.
To Jehova Nyasaye chiwo pok ne ngʼato ka ngʼato moromore gi ratiche gi timne makare. Kawuono Jehova Nyasaye nochiwi e lweta to ne ok anyal keto lweta kuom ngʼat Jehova Nyasaye mowir.
24 And, behold, as thy life was much set by this day in my eyes, so let my life be much set by in the eyes of Jehovah, and let him deliver me out of all tribulation.
Mana kaka ngimani nelongʼona kawuono, mad ngimana bende bed malongʼo ni Jehova Nyasaye mondo oresa e chandruok duto.”
25 Then Saul said to David, Blessed be thou, my son David. Thou shall both do mightily, and shall surely prevail. So David went his way, and Saul returned to his place.
Eka Saulo nowachone Daudi niya, “Mad gwedhi wuoda Daudi; ibiro timo gik madongo adieri inilochi.” Bangʼ mano Daudi nodhi yore, to Saulo nodok dala.
