< 1 Samuel 30 >
1 Now when David and his men came to Ziklag on the third day, the Amalekites had made an attack on the South and on Ziklag, and had overcome Ziklag and put it on fire;
Mgbe Devid na ndị ikom ya rutere obodo Ziklag nʼụbọchị nke atọ, ha hụrụ na ndị Amalek abịala wakporo bi nʼakụkụ ndịda Negev na Ziklag. Ha buru agha megide Ziklag, gbaa obodo ahụ ọkụ,
2 And had made the women and all who were there, small and great, prisoners: they had not put any of them to death, but had taken them all away.
dọtakwa ndị inyom na ndị niile bi nʼime ya nʼagha, ma okenye ma ụmụntakịrị. Ha egbughị ha egbu, kama ha buuru ha laa.
3 And when David and his men came to the town, they saw that it had been burned down, and their wives and their sons and daughters had been made prisoners.
Mgbe Devid na ndị ikom ya ruru Ziklag, ha hụrụ na-esuola ya ọkụ, dọkpụrụ ndị inyom ha, na ụmụ ndị ikom na ndị inyom nʼagha.
4 Then David and the people who were with him gave themselves up to weeping till they were able to go on weeping no longer.
Ya mere, Devid na ndị ikom ya kwara akwa ruo mgbe ike akwa gwụrụ ha.
5 And David's two wives, Ahinoam of Jezreel and Abigail, the wife of Nabal of Carmel, had been made prisoners.
Ndị inyom abụọ Devid, Ahinoam onye Jezril na Abigel, nwunye ochie Nebal onye Kamel, sokwa na ndị a dọtara nʼagha ahụ.
6 And David was greatly troubled; for the people were talking of stoning him, because their hearts were bitter, every man sorrowing for his sons and his daughters: but David made himself strong in the Lord his God.
Ihe a wetaara Devid oke nsogbu, nʼihi na ndị ikom ya nọ na-ekwu okwu iji nkume tugbuo ya; ha niile nọ nʼobi ilu nʼihi ụmụ ha ndị ikom na ndị inyom. Ma Devid chọtara ike nʼime Onyenwe anyị Chineke ya.
7 And David said to Abiathar the priest, the son of Ahimelech, Come here to me with the ephod. And Abiathar took the ephod to David.
Devid sịrị Abịata, bụ onye nchụaja, nwa Ahimelek, “Chịtara m efọọd ahụ.” Ya mere, Abịata chịtara ya nye ya
8 Then David, questioning the Lord, said, Am I to go after this band? will I be able to overtake them? And in answer he said, Go after them, for you will certainly overtake them, and get back everything.
Mgbe ahụ, Devid jụrụ Onyenwe anyị ase sị, “Ọ bụ m chụso ndị a na-apụnara ndị mmadụ ihe? Ọ bụrụ na m achụso ha, aga m ejide ha?” Onyenwe anyị zara, “E, chụso ha ọsọ, ị ga-achụkwute ha, ma nataghachikwa ihe niile ha were.”
9 So David went, and his six hundred men went with him, and they came to the stream Besor.
Mgbe ahụ, Devid na narị ndị agha isii ya bịarutere nʼọdọ mmiri Beso, ebe ha hapụrụ ụfọdụ ndị
10 And David, with four hundred men, went on: but two hundred of them were overcome with weariness, and not able to go across the stream.
narị ndị ikom abụọ nʼime ha enwekwaghị ike ịgafe ndagwurugwu Beso nʼihi ike ọgwụgwụ, ma Devid na narị anọ ndị ọzọ chụsoro ha.
11 And in the fields they saw an Egyptian whom they took to David, and they gave him bread, and he had a meal, and they gave him water for drink;
Ha hụrụ otu nwokorobịa onye Ijipt nʼọhịa, duuru ya bịakwute Devid. Ha nyere ya mmiri ka ọ ṅụọ, nyekwa ya nri ka o rie.
12 And they gave him part of a cake of figs and some dry grapes; and after the food, his spirit came back to him, for he had had no food or drink for three days and nights.
Ihe ha nyere ya bụ achịcha fiig, na ụyọkọ mkpụrụ vaịnị abụọ nke a mịkpọrọ amịkpọ. Mgbe o richara ha, o nweghachiri onwe ya, nʼihi na o ribeghị nri ọbụla, maọbụ ṅụọ mmiri ọbụla ụbọchị atọ, ehihie na nʼabalị.
13 And David said to him, Whose man are you and where do you come from? And he said, I am a young man of Egypt, servant to an Amalekite; and my master went on without me because three days back I became ill.
Mgbe ahụ, Devid jụrụ ya sị, “Ị bụ onye? Ebeekwa ka i si bịa?” Ọ zara Devid sị, “Abụ m onye Ijipt, bụrụkwa ohu onye Amalek. Onyenwe m hapụrụ m nʼebe a abalị atọ gara aga nʼihi na ahụ adịghị m ike.
14 We made an attack on the south part of the country of the Cherethites, and on the land which is Judah's, and on the south of Caleb; and we put Ziklag on fire.
Anyị si obodo ebe anyị gara lụọ agha na-alọghachi mgbe ha hapụrụ m nʼebe a. Anyị gara lụgbuo obodo ndị Keret, nke dị nʼime Negeb, na obodo dị na ndịda ala Juda na ala Kaleb. Anyị gbakwara obodo Ziklag ọkụ.”
15 And David said to him, Will you take me down to this band? And he said, If you give me your oath that you will not put me to death or give me up to my master, I will take you to them.
Devid jụrụ ya sị, “I nwere ike duru m gaa ebe ha nọ.” Nwokorobịa ahụ zara ya sị, “Ọ bụrụ na ị ga-aṅụ iyi nʼaha Chineke na ị gaghị egbu m maọbụ were m nyeghachi onyenwe m, aga m eduru gị gaa ebe ha nọ.”
16 And when he had taken him down, they saw them all, seated about on all sides, feasting and drinking among all the mass of goods which they had taken from the land of the Philistines and the land of Judah.
O duuru ha jee nʼebe ndị Amalek nọ. Mgbe ha ruru ebe ahụ, ha hụrụ ha ebe ha tụsara onwe ha nʼala na-eri na-aṅụ, na-etekwa egwu ọṅụ, nʼihi ihe dị ukwuu ha kwatara nʼagha site nʼala ndị Filistia, na nʼala Juda.
17 And David went on fighting them from evening till the evening of the day after; and not one of them got away but only four hundred young men who went in flight on camels.
Devid na ndị agha ya bịakwasịrị ha na mberede gbuo ha site nʼabalị ahụ ruo anyasị echi ya. Ọ dịkwaghị otu nwoke nʼime ha fọdụrụ ndụ ma ọ bụghị narị ndị ikom anọ makwasịrị nʼelu ịnyịnya kamel ha gbalaga.
18 And David got back everything the Amalekites had taken; and he got back his two wives.
Devid nwetaghachiri ihe niile ndị Amalek kwatara nʼagha, tinyere ndị inyom ya abụọ.
19 There was no loss of anything, small or great, sons or daughters or goods or anything which they had taken away: David got it all back.
O nweghị ihe furu efu, ma nke ukwu ma nke nta, ụmụ ndị ikom na ụmụ ndị inyom, ihe a kwatara nʼagha, maọbụ ihe ọbụla ọzọ ndị Amalek dọtara nʼagha. Devid nwetaghachiri ihe niile.
20 And they took all the flocks and herds, and driving them in front of him, said, These are David's.
Ọzọkwa, Devid chịkọtara igwe ehi na igwe ewu na atụrụ. Ndị ikom ya chịịrị ha, tinyere anụ ụlọ ndị ọzọ, na-aga, na-asị, “Ndị a bụ ihe Devid kwatara nʼagha.”
21 And David came to the two hundred men, who because of weariness had not gone with him, but were waiting at the stream Besor: and they went out, meeting David and the people who were with him; and when they came near them, they said, How are you?
Emesịa, Devid bịarutere ebe narị ndị ikom abụọ ndị ahụ nọ na Ndagwurugwu Beso. Ndị a bụ ndị ahụ na-enweghị ike iso Devid nʼihi na ike gwụrụ ha. Ha pụtara zute Devid na ndị so ya. Mgbe Devid na ndị ikom ya bịara ha nso, ọ jụrụ ha otu ha mere.
22 Then the bad and good-for-nothing men among those who went with David said, Because they did not go with us, we will give them nothing of the goods which we have got back, but only to every man his wife and children, so that he may take them and go.
Ma ndị ikom ọjọọ ahụ niile, na ndị okwu na ụka nọ nʼetiti ndị na-eso Devid sịrị, “Nʼihi na ndị a esoghị anyị jee, ya mere ha agaghị eso anyị keta ihe ndị a anyị kwatara nʼagha. Nyeghachi ha naanị nwunye ha na ụmụ ha; gwakwa ha ka ha laa.”
23 Then David said, You are not to do this, my brothers, after what the Lord has given us, who has kept us safe and given up the band which came against us into our hands.
Ma Devid sịrị, “Mba, ụmụnna m, unu ekwesighị isi otu a kee ihe ndị ahụ Onyenwe anyị nyere anyị. O chebere anyị, nyefee nʼaka anyị ndị agha ahụ niile bịara imegide anyị.
24 Who is going to give any attention to you in this question? for an equal part will be given to him who went to the fight and to him who was waiting by the goods: they are all to have the same.
Unu chere na ọ dị onye ga-ege unu ntị mgbe unu na-ekwu okwu dị otu a? Anyị niile ga-eketa oke; oke ndị jere agha na ndị chebere ihe anyị ga-abụ otu.”
25 And so he made it a rule and an order for Israel from that day till now.
Site nʼụbọchị ahụ, Devid mere ka nke a bụrụ iwu nye ndị Izrel niile ruo taa.
26 And when David came to Ziklag, he sent some of the goods to the responsible men of Judah, and to his friends, saying, Here is an offering for you from the goods of those who were fighting against the Lord;
Mgbe ha rutere Ziklag, Devid weere ụfọdụ ihe ha kwatara nʼagha zigara ndị okenye Juda, ndị bụ ndị enyi ya, na-asị, “Lee onyinye ewetaara unu site nʼụfọdụ nʼime ihe anyị kwatara site nʼaka ndị iro Onyenwe anyị.”
27 He sent to those who were in Beth-el, and in Ramah of the South, and in Jattir;
O zigara ha nye ndị bi na Betel, Ramọt Negev na Jatịa,
28 And to those in Arara and Eshtemoa
nyekwa ndị nọ Aroea, Sifmot, Eshtemoa
29 and Carmel and in the towns of the Jerahmeelites, and in the towns of the Kenites;
na Rakal, nyekwa ndị bi nʼobodo ndị Jerameel na nke ndị Ken,
30 And to those who were in Hormah and in Bor-ashan and in Athach;
nyekwa ndị bi na Homa, Bo Ashan, Atak
31 And in Hebron, and to all the places where David and his men had been living.
na Hebrọn na ndị nọ nʼebe niile ndị ahụ ebe Devid na ndị ya wagharịrị.
