1 Samuel 19
1 Then Saul ordered his son Jonathan and all his servants to kill David. But Jonathan delighted greatly in David,
Saulo nowachone Jonathan ma wuode to gi jotije duto mondo gineg Daudi. To Jonathan nohero Daudi ahinya,
2 so he warned David, saying, “My father Saul intends to kill you. Be on your guard in the morning; find a secret place and hide there.
mi nosieme niya, “Tangʼ, Saulo wuora manyo yo ma donegigo. Omiyo kiny gokinyi dhiyo ipondi kendo bed mana kuno.
3 I will go out and stand beside my father in the field where you are, so I can ask about you. And if I find out anything, I will tell you.”
Abiro dhi oko kendo anachungʼ but wuora machiegni gi kama ipondoeno. Abiro wuoyo kode kuomi kendo abiro nyisi gima ayudo.”
4 Then Jonathan spoke well of David to his father Saul and said to him, “The king should not sin against his servant David; he has not sinned against you. In fact, his actions have been highly beneficial to you.
Jonathan nowuoyo maber kuom Daudi ne Saulo, wuon mare, mowachone niya, “Ruoth kik itim marach ne jatichni Daudi; pok otimoni marach, to osemana konyi ahinya.
5 He took his life in his hands when he struck down the Philistine, and the LORD worked a great salvation for all Israel. You saw it and rejoiced, so why would you sin against innocent blood by killing David for no reason?”
Noyie tho chiengʼ mane onego ja-Filistia. Jehova Nyasaye nokelo loch maduongʼ ne jo-Israel duto, ne ineno mine imor. Angʼo madimi itim marach ni ngʼama onge ketho ka Daudi kinege maonge gima omiyo?”
6 Saul listened to the voice of Jonathan and swore an oath: “As surely as the LORD lives, David will not be put to death.”
Saulo nochiko ite ne wach Jonathan mi okwongʼore kowacho niya, “Akwongʼora gi nying Jehova Nyasaye mangima ni Daudi ok nonegi.”
7 So Jonathan summoned David and told him all these things. Then Jonathan brought David to Saul to serve him as he had before.
Omiyo Jonathan noluongo Daudi monyise weche duto mane giwacho. Nokele ir Saulo, mi Daudi nobedo gi Saulo kaka nosebet mokwongo.
8 When war broke out again, David went out and fought the Philistines and struck them with such a mighty blow that they fled before him.
Lweny nochako owuok kendo, mi Daudi nowuok modhi kedo gi jo-Filistia. Nonego ji mangʼeny ma joma odongʼ noringo oa.
9 But as Saul was sitting in his house with his spear in his hand, a spirit of distress from the LORD came upon him. While David was playing the harp,
To roho marach ma Jehova Nyasaye nomiyo thuolo nobiro kuom Saulo kama nobetie piny ei ode ka otingʼo tongʼe e lwete. Kane Daudi ne goyo nyatiti,
10 Saul tried to pin him to the wall with his spear. But the spear struck the wall and David eluded him, ran away, and escaped that night.
Saulo notemo chwowe gi tongʼ mondo oriwe gi kor ot, to Daudi nolengʼe mi tongʼ nochwowo kor ot. Otienono Daudi notony maber modhi.
11 Then Saul sent messengers to David’s house to watch him and kill him in the morning. But David’s wife Michal warned him, “If you do not run for your life tonight, tomorrow you will be dead!”
Saulo nooro ji mondo orit od Daudi kendo mondo onege gokinyi. To Mikal ma chi Daudi nosieme niya, “Ka ok iringo mi ikonyo ngimani otienoni to kiny nonegi.”
12 So Michal lowered David from the window, and he ran away and escaped.
Eka Mikal nogolo Daudi gie dirisa, mine oringo motony.
13 Then Michal took a household idol and laid it in the bed, placed some goat hair on its head, and covered it with a garment.
Eka Mikal nokawo gima opa mopiele e kitanda, moume gi law, bangʼe oketo yie diek moko e wiye.
14 When Saul sent the messengers to seize David, Michal said, “He is ill.”
Kane Saulo ooro ji mondo omak Daudi, Mikal nowacho niya, “Otuo.”
15 But Saul sent the messengers back to see David and told them, “Bring him up to me in his bed so I can kill him.”
Kendo Saulo nooro jogo mondo odogi one Daudi mowachonegi niya, “Keleuru ira ka utingʼe e kitandane mondo omi anege.”
16 And when the messengers entered, there was the idol in the bed with the quilt of goats’ hair on its head.
To ka jogo nodonjo negiyudo gima opa e kitanda, to yo ka wiye to oketie yie diek.
17 And Saul said to Michal, “Why did you deceive me like this? You sent my enemy away and he has escaped!” Michal replied, “He said to me, ‘Help me get away, or I will kill you!’”
Saulo nowachone Mikal niya, “Angʼo momiyo iwuonda kama kiweyo jasika dhi matony?” Mikal nowachone niya, “Nowachona ni, ‘Weya adhi. Angʼo momiyo danegi.’”
18 So David ran away and escaped. And he went to Samuel at Ramah and told him all that Saul had done to him. Then he and Samuel went to Naioth and stayed there.
Kane Daudi oseringo motony, ne odhi Rama ir Samuel mi onyise timbe duto ma Saulo osetimone. Eka en gi Samuel negidhi Nayoth ma gibet kuno.
19 When Saul was told that David was at Naioth in Ramah,
Wach nochopo ne Saulo niya, “Daudi ni Nayoth e gwengʼ Rama”
20 he sent messengers to capture him. But when they saw the group of prophets prophesying, with Samuel leading them, the Spirit of God came upon them, and Saul’s messengers also began to prophesy.
omiyo nooro ji mondo odhi omake. To kane gineno oganda jonabi ka koro wach ka gin gi Samuel kochungʼ kanyo kaka jatendgi Roho mar Nyasaye nomako joote Saulo ma gin bende negichako koro.
21 When this was reported to Saul, he sent more messengers, but they began to prophesy as well. So Saul tried again and sent messengers a third time, and even they began to prophesy.
Nonyis Saulo wachno, mi nooro ji moko to gin bende ne gikoro. Eka Saulo nooro joote kendo mar adek, to gin bende negimedo mana koro.
22 Finally, Saul himself left for Ramah and came to the large cistern at Secu, where he asked, “Where are Samuel and David?” “At Naioth in Ramah,” he was told.
Mogik en owuon nowuok modhi Rama ka nochopo e Soko maduongʼ man Seku. Nopenjo niya, “Ere Samuel gi Daudi?” Negidwoke niya, “Gin Nayoth e gwengʼ Rama.”
23 So Saul went to Naioth in Ramah. But the Spirit of God came upon even Saul, and he walked along prophesying until he came to Naioth in Ramah.
Omiyo Saulo nodhi Nayoth e gwengʼ Rama. To en bende Roho mar Nyasaye nobiro kuome mi owuotho kokoro wach nyaka ochopo Nayoth.
24 Then Saul stripped off his robes and also prophesied before Samuel. And he collapsed and lay naked all that day and night. That is why it is said, “Is Saul also among the prophets?”
Nogolo lepe mokoro wach e nyim Samuel. Nonindo kamano odiechiengʼ gotieno. Mano ema omiyo ji wacho niya, “Kare Saulo bende en achiel kuom jonabi?”
