1 Samuel 23
1 And they sent word to David, saying, The Philistines are fighting against Keilah and taking the grain from the grain-floors.
Kane owach ne Daudi niya, “Ne jo-Filistia kedo gi jo-Keila kendo giyako gik man e laru mar dino cham,”
2 So David, questioning the Lord, said, Am I to go and make an attack on these Philistines? And the Lord said to David, Go and make an attack on the Philistines so that Keilah may be kept from falling into their hands.
nopenjo Jehova Nyasaye niya, “Bende owinjore adhi kendo amonj jo-Filistia-gi?” Jehova Nyasaye nodwoke niya, “Dhiyo, mondo imonj jo-Filistia kendo ires Keila.”
3 And David's men said to him, Even here in Judah we are full of fear: how much more then if we go to Keilah against the armies of the Philistines?
To jo-Daudi nowachone niya, “Ka Juda ka ema waluorie. Dobednwa machalo nade ka wadhi Keila mondo waked gi jolweny mag Filistia!”
4 Then David put the question to the Lord again, and the Lord answering said, Up! go down to Keilah; for I will give the Philistines into your hands.
Daudi nopenjo Jehova Nyasaye kendo mi Jehova Nyasaye nodwoke ne, “Lor idhi Keila nimar adhi chiwo jo-Filistia e lweti.”
5 So David and his men went to Keilah, and had a fight with the Philistines, and took away their cattle, and put them to the sword with great destruction. So David was the saviour of the people of Keilah.
Omiyo Daudi gi joge nodhi Keila, mokedo gi jo-Filistia kendo opeyo jambgi. Nonego jo-Filistia mangʼeny mine oreso jo-Keila.
6 Now when Abiathar, the son of Ahimelech, went in flight to David, he came down to Keilah with the ephod in his hand.
Koro Abiathar wuod Ahimelek nosebiro gi law mayom mar dolo miluongo ni efod e kinde mane oringo kodhi ir Daudi Keila.
7 And news was given to Saul that David had come to Keilah. And Saul said, Now God has given him into my hands; for by going into a walled town with locked doors, he has let himself be shut in.
Nowach ne Saulo ni Daudi nosedhi Keila, omiyo nowacho niya, “Nyasaye osechiwe e lweta, nimar Daudi osetwere owuon ka odonjo e dala man-gi rangeye kod lodi.”
8 And Saul sent for all the people to come to the fight, and go down to Keilah to make an attack on David and his men.
Omiyo Saulo noluongo joge duto makedo ne lweny, mondo gilor gidhi Keila kendo gigengʼ ne Daudi gi joge.
9 And it was clear to David that Saul had evil designs against him, and he said to Abiathar the priest, Come here with the ephod.
Kane Daudi owinjo ni Saulo chano yor yude nowachone Abiathar jadolo niya, “Kel law akor mar law mayom mar dolo miluongo ni efod.”
10 Then David said, O Lord, the God of Israel, news has been given to your servant that it is Saul's purpose to come to Keilah and send destruction on the town because of me.
Daudi nowacho niya, “Yaye Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasach Israel, jatichni osewinjo gadiera ni Saulo chano biro Keila mondo oketh dala nikech an.
11 And now, is it true, as they have said to me, that Saul is coming? O Lord, the God of Israel, give ear to your servant, and say if these things are so. And the Lord said, He is coming down.
Bende jo-Keila nochiwane? To bende Saulo biro biro ka kaka jatichni osewinjo? Yaye Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasach Israel, nyis jatichni.” Eka Jehova Nyasaye nodwoko niya, “Obiro biro.”
12 Then David said, Will the men of Keilah give me and my men up to Saul? and the Lord said, They will give you up.
Daudi nopenjo kendo niya, “Jo-Keila biro chiwa kaachiel gi joga ne Saulo.” To Jehova Nyasaye nowacho niya, “Gibiro timo kamano.”
13 Then David and his men, about six hundred of them, went out of Keilah, and got away wherever they were able to go. And Saul, hearing that David had got away from Keilah, did not go there.
Omiyo Daudi gi joge maromo mia auchiel, nowuok Keila mine giwuotho koni gi kocha ka gisiko gidar. Kane Saulo owinjo ni Daudi nosetony mowuok Keila ne ok odhi kuno.
14 And David kept in the waste land, in safe places, waiting in the hill-country in the waste land of Ziph. And Saul was searching for him every day, but God did not give him up into his hands.
Daudi nodak e kuonde mag pondo manie thim kendo e gode mag Thim Zif; odiechiengʼ ka odiechiengʼ Saulo ne osiko ka dware, to Nyasaye ne ok oketo Daudi e lwete.
15 And David was full of fear, in the knowledge that Saul had come out to take his life; and David was in the waste land of Ziph, in Horesh.
Kane Daudi ni Horesh man e thim Zif noyudo wach ni Saulo nosewuok mondo otiek ngimane.
16 And Saul's son Jonathan went to David in Horesh, and made his hands strong in God;
To Jonathan wuod Saulo nodhi Horesh ir Daudi mokonye koduogo chunye mondo oyud teko moa kuom Nyasaye.
17 And said to him, Have no fear, for Saul my father will not get you into his power; and you will be king of Israel, and I will be by your side, and my father Saul is certain of this.
Nowacho niya, “Kik iluor. Saulo wuora ok bi timi gimoro. Ibiro bedo ruodh Israel, to an abiro bedo jalupni. Kata Saulo wuora ongʼeyo mano.”
18 And the two of them made an agreement before the Lord: and David went on living in Horesh, and Jonathan went back to his house.
Kargi ji ariyogi negisingore e nyim Jehova Nyasaye. Eka Jonathan nodhi dala to Daudi to nodongʼ Horesh.
19 Then the Ziphites came up to Gibeah to see Saul, and said, Is not David living secretly among us in the strong places in Horesh, in the hill of Hachilah to the south of the waste land?
Jo-Zif nodhi Gibea ir Saulo mi giwachone ne, “Donge Daudi opondo kuomwa e kuonde pondo Horesh ewi got Hakila, mantie yo milambo mar Jeshimon?
20 So now, O king, have your soul's desire and come down, and we, for our part, will give him up into the king's hands.
Koroni, yaye Ruoth, inyalo biro sa moro amora midwaro biroe, to obiro bedo wachwa mondo wachiwe ne ruoth.”
21 And Saul said, The Lord's blessing will be yours, for you have had pity on me.
Saulo nodwoko niya, “Jehova Nyasaye mondo ogwedhu kuom timona maber.
22 Go now, and take more steps, and see where he is living: for they say that he is expert in deceit.
Dhiuru kendo umed ikoru. Nonuru mondo ungʼe kuma Daudi jadhiyoe kod ngʼat mosenene kuno. Gisenyisa ni en ngʼama yoreyore ahinya.
23 So take care to get knowledge of all the secret places where he is taking cover, and be certain to come back to me, and I will go with you: and without doubt, if he is anywhere in the land, I will get him, among all the families of Judah.
Nonuru konde duto mopondoe gi kuonde duto motiyogo, eka uduogna wach mobidhore. Bangʼe anadhi kodu; ka dipo ni en kanyo, to abiro dware e dhoudi duto mag Juda.”
24 And they went back and came to Ziph before Saul: but David and his men were in the waste land of Maon, in the dry land south of the waste land.
Kuom mano ne giwuok mi gidhi Zif motelone Saulo. Daudi gi joge to ne ni e Thim Maon man Araba yo milambo mar Jeshimon.
25 And Saul and his men went in search of him. And David had word of it, so he came down to the rock in the waste land of Maon. And Saul, hearing of this, went after David into the waste land of Maon.
Saulo gi joge nochako dwero, ka nowach ne Daudi wachno, nolor mwalo e lwanda mi nobet e Thim man Maon. Kane Saulo owinjo ma, nodhi e Thim man Maon kolawo Daudi.
26 And Saul and his men went on one side of the mountain, and David and his men went on the other: and David's purpose was to get away as quickly as possible, for fear of Saul; for Saul and his men were making a circle round David and his men in order to take them.
Saulo ne dhi e bath got konchiel to Daudi gi joge ne ni e bathe kumachielo, ka giringo mondo gi yomb Saulo. Ka Saulo gi jolwenje ne chiegni juko Daudi gi joge mondo gimakgi,
27 But a man came to Saul saying, Be quick and come; for the Philistines have made an attack on the land.
jaote nobiro ir Saulo, mowacho niya, “Bi piyo! Jo-Filistia osebiro monjo piny.”
28 So turning back from going after David, Saul went against the Philistines: so that place was named Sela-hammah-lekoth.
Eka Saulo noweyo lawo Daudi mi odhi rado gi jo-Filistia. Mano emomiyo iluongo kanyo ni Sela Hamalekoth.
29 And from there, David went up and took cover in the safe place of En-gedi.
To Daudi nodhi malo koa kanyo modak e kuonde pondo mag En Gedi.
