Kings I 25
1 And Samuel died, and all Israel assembled, and bewailed him, and they bury him in his house in Armathaim: and David arose, and went down to the wilderness of Maon.
Koro Samuel notho, kendo Israel duto nochokore moywage; mine giike e dalane Rama. Bangʼe Daudi nowuok molor piny e Thim Paran.
2 And there was a man in Maon, and his flocks were in Carmel, and [he was] a very great man; and he had three thousand sheep, and a thousand she-goats: and he happened to be shearing his flock in Carmel.
Ne nitie ngʼat moro e piny Maon mane nigi mwandu Karmel, ne en jamoko ahinya. Ne en gi diek alufu achiel gi rombe alufu adek, mane ongʼado yiegi e Karmel.
3 And the man's name [was] Nabal, and his wife's name [was] Abigaia: and his wife [was] of good understanding and very beautiful in person: but the man [was] harsh, and evil in his doings, and the man [was] churlish.
Ne iluonge ni Nabal to chiege ne iluongo ni Abigael. Ne en dhako mariek kendo ne ojaber, to chwore ne ja-dhood Kaleb, ne en ngʼama koch, jagwondo kendo ma timbene richo.
4 And David heard in the wilderness, that Nabal the Carmelite was shearing his sheep.
Kane Daudi ni e thim, nowinjo ni Nabal ngʼado yie rombe.
5 And David sent ten young men, and he said to the young men, Go up to Carmel, and go to Nabal, and ask him in my name how he is.
Omiyo nooro yawuowi apar mowachonegi niya, “Dhiuru Karmel ir Nabal mondo umosnago.
6 And thus shall you say, May you and your house seasonably prosper, and all your be in prosperity.
Wachneuru ni, ‘Idag amingʼa! Ngimani bende obed maonge tuoche in kaachiel gi odi! Kendo gigi duto obed gi ngima maber!
7 And now, behold, I have heard that your shepherds who were with is in the wilderness are shearing your sheep, and we hindered them not, neither did we demand any thing from them all the time they were in Carmel.
“‘Koro asewinjo ni ingʼado yie rombi e kindeni. Kane jokwadhi ni kodwa, to ne ok watimonegi marach, kendo e kinde duto mane gin Karmel onge girgi manolal.
8 Ask your servants, and they will tell you. Let then your servants find grace in your eyes, for we are come on a good day; give we pray you, whatever your hand may find, to your son David.
Penj jotiji iwuon kendo gibiro nyisi. Omiyo tim tim ngʼwono ne yawuota ma aorogo kaka wabiro e kinde mag mor. Yie imi wasumbinigi gi wuodi Daudi gimoro amora minyalo miyogi.’”
9 So the servants come and speak these words to Nabal, according to all these words in the name of David.
Kane jo-Daudi ochopo neginyiso Nabal wach ote Daudi, eka negirito.
10 And Nabal sprang up, and answered the servants of David, and said, Who [is] David? and who [is] the son of Jessae? Now-a-days there is abundance of servants who depart every one from his master.
Nabal nodwoko jotich Daudi niya, “Daudi-ni to en ngʼa? Wuod Jesseni to en ngʼa? Jotich mangʼeny ndaloni ngʼanyo ne ruodhigi.
11 And shall I take my bread, and my wine, and my beasts that I have slain for my shearers, and shall I give them to men of whom I know not whence they are?
Angʼo momiyo dakaw kuona gi piga to gi ringa ma aseyangʼo ne jongʼadna yie rombe mondo ami joma akia kuma oaye?”
12 So the servants of David turned back, and returned, and came and reported to David according to these words.
Jo-Daudi nowichore mi odok. Kane gichopo, neginyiso Daudi weche duto.
13 And David said to his men, Gird on every man his sword. And they went up after David, about four hundred men: and two hundred abode with the stuff.
Daudi nowachone joge niya, “Kawuru liganglau!” Omiyo negikawo liganglagi Daudi bende nokawo mare. Ji madirom mia angʼwen nodhi gi Daudi, to mia ariyo nodongʼ karito gigegi.
14 And one of the servants reported to Abigaia the wife of Nabal, saying, Behold, David sent messengers out of the wilderness to salute our lord; but he turned away from them.
Achiel kuom jotich nonyiso chi Nabal ma Abigael niya, “Daudi nooro joote koa e thim mondo obi omos jaduongʼwa, to nobayonegi wach.
15 And the men were very good to us; they did not hinder us, neither did they demand from us any thing all the days that we were with them.
Kata kamano jogi noritowa maber ahinya. Ne ok gitimonwa marach, to bende e kinde mane wan oko e pap kodgi onge gimoro mane olal.
16 And when we were in the field, they were as a wall round about us, both by night and by day, all the days that we were with them feeding the flock.
Otieno gi odiechiengʼ ne gibedonwa ka ohinga molworowa kinde duto ka wakwayo rombewa butgi.
17 And now do you consider, and see what you will do; for mischief is determined against our lord and against his house; and he [is] a vile character, and one can’t speak to him.
Koro par ane wach kendo ne gima inyalo timo, nikech chandruok dhi biro ne ruodhwa gi joge duto. Nikech en ngʼat ma achach maonge ngʼama nyalo wuoyo kode.”
18 And Abigaia hasted, and took two hundred loaves, and two vessels of wine, and five sheep ready dressed, and five ephahs of fine flour, and one homer of dried grapes, and two hundred cakes of figs, and put them upon asses.
Abigael ne ok oketho seche. Nokawo makati mia ariyo, ndede ariyo mar divai, rombe abich moyangʼ gi chamb aloda madirom kilo piero adek gabiriyo, olemb raisin mongʼin maromo mia achiel, gi olemb ngʼowu molos mopamore moromo mia ariyo, eka noketogi e punde.
19 And she said to her servants, Go on before me, and behold I come after you: but she told not her husband.
Eka nowachone jotije niya, “Dhiuru nyime an abiro bangʼu.” To ne ok onyiso chwore ma Nabal.
20 And it came to pass when she had mounted her ass and was going down by the covert of the mountain, behold, David and his men came down to meet her, and she met them.
Kane oyudo odhi koidho pundane e hoho manie got, to nyime kanyo noneno Daudi gi joge kalor e got biro kochome kendo noromo kodgi.
21 And David said, Perhaps I have kept all his possessions in the wilderness that he should wrong me, and we did not order the taking anything of all his goods; yet he has rewarded me evil for good.
Daudi noyudo osewacho niya, “Kara ne en gima nono ka athagora gi rito mwandu ngʼatni e thim, maonge kata mana gire mane olal. To osechula mana rach kar ber mane atimone.
22 So God do to David and more also, if I leave one male of all that belong to Nabal until the morning.
Mad Nyasaye kum Daudi malit ka dipo ni kiny piny orune ngʼato angʼata madichwo e dala maweyo kapod ngima!”
23 And Abigaia saw David, and she hasted and alighted from her ass; and she felt before David on her face, and did obeisance to him, [bowing] to the ground
Kane Abigael oneno Daudi nolor piyo koa e pundane mane oidho mine mokulore e nyim Daudi nyaka e lowo.
24 [even] to his feet, and said, On me, my lord, be my wrong: let, I pray you, your servant speak in your ears, and hear you the words of your servant.
Nopodho piny e tiend Daudi mi owacho kama: “Ruodha we rach obed e wiya awuon. Kiyie to we jatichni owuo kodi; winj gima jatichni dwa wacho.
25 Let not my lord, I pray you, take to heart this pestilent man, for according to his name, so is he; Nabal [is] his name, and folly [is] with him: but I your handmaid saw not the servants of my lord whom you did send.
Mad ruodha mondo kik odew ngʼat ma achach ma Nabal. Ochalo mana gi nyinge, nyinge tiende ni ngʼat mofuwo, kendo otimo tim fuwo kuonde duto. An to ne ok aneno joma ne ruodha ooro.
26 And now, my lord, [as] the Lord lives, and your soul lives, as the Lord has kept you from coming against innocent blood, and from executing vengeance for yourself, now therefore let your enemies, and those that seek evil against my lord, become as Nabal.
“Emomiyo koro ruodha, Jehova Nyasaye oseriti mondo kik ichwer remo kendo mondo kik ichul kuor gi lweti to akwongʼora gi nying Jehova Nyasaye mangima kendo gi in iwuon ni mad wasiki kod ji duto machano timoni marach ochal gi Nabal.
27 And now accept this token of goodwill, which your servant has brought to my lord, and you shall give it to the servants that wait on my lord.
Yie mondo michni, ma jatichni osekelo ni ruodha, mondo omi joma luwi.
28 Remove, I pray you, the trespass of your servant; for the Lord will surely make for my lord a sure house, for the Lord fights the battles of my lord, and there shall no evil be ever found in you.
“Yie iwene jatichni kethone, nimar Jehova Nyasaye nyaka nomi dhood ruodha loch mosiko, nikech okedo lwenje mag Jehova Nyasaye. Kik iyie ketho moro oyud kuomi kapod ingima.
29 And [if] a man shall rise up persecuting you and seeking your life, yet shall the life of my lord be bound up in the bundle of life with the Lord God, and you shall whirl the life of your enemies [as] in the midst of a sling.
Kata obedo ni ngʼato lawi mondo otiek ngimani, to ngima mar ruodha notwe motegno gi kanyakla mar joma ngima gi Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachi. To ngima wasiki to nowit mabor mana ka gima odir gorujre.
30 And it shall be when the Lord shall have wrought for my lord all the good things he has spoken concerning you, and shall appoint you to be ruler over Israel;
Kane Jehova Nyasaye osetimo ni ruodha gik mabeyo duto manosingone mi okete jatend jo-Israel,
31 then this shall not be an abomination and offence to my lord, to have shed innocent blood without cause, and for my lord to have avenged himself: and so may the Lord do good to my lord, and you shall remember your handmaid to do her good.
to chuny ruodha ok nochandre nine ochwero remo mane ok onego chwer kata chulo kuor ne en wuon. To ka Jehova Nyasaye osemiyo ruodha loch to mondo ipar jatichni.”
32 And David said to Abigaia, Blessed [be] the Lord God of Israel, who sent you this very day to meet me:
Daudi nowachone Abigael niya, “Pak obed ni Jehova Nyasaye, Nyasach Israel, moseori kawuononi mondo irom koda.
33 and blessed [be] your conduct, and blessed [be] you, who have hindered me this very day from coming to shed blood, and from avenging myself.
Mad gwedhi kuom ngʼado buchi maber kendo kuom gengʼa mondo kik achwer remo kawuononi mar chulo kuor gi lwetena awuon.
34 But surely as the Lord God of Israel lives, who hindered me this day from doing you harm, if you had not hasted and come to meet me, then I said, There shall [surely] not be left to Nabal till the morning one male.
Ka ok kamano, to akwongʼora gi nying Jehova Nyasaye mangima ma Nyasach Israel, mosegengʼa mondo kik ahinyi, ka dine ok ibiro piyo mondo iromna, to dine ok odongʼ dichwo moro amora ka Nabal.”
35 And David took of her hand all that she brought to him, and said to her, Go in peace to your house: see, I have listened to your voice, and accepted your petition.
Eka Daudi noyie mokawo gik mane osekelone mi owacho niya, “Dhi dala gi kwe. Asewinjo wecheni kendo aseyie gi kwayoni.”
36 And Abigaia came to Nabal: and, behold, he had a banquet in this house, as the banquet of a king, and the heart of Nabal [was] merry within him, and he [was] very drunken: and she told him nothing great or small till the morning light.
Ka Abigael nodhi ir Nabal ne en e ot kotimo Sawo maduongʼ ka mar ruoth. Ne omor ahinya bende ne omer. To ok nowachone gimoro nyaka piny noru.
37 And it came to pass in the morning, when Nabal recovered from his wine, his wife told him these words; and his heart died within him, and he became as a stone.
To ka nochopo okinyi ka Nabal kongʼo noserumo e wangʼe, chiege nowachone gik moko duto, mi chunye notho mochalo ka kidi.
38 And it came to pass after about ten days, that the Lord struck Nabal, and he died.
Bangʼ ndalo apar, eka Jehova Nyasaye nogoyo Nabal mi notho.
39 And David heard it and said, Blessed [be] the Lord, who has judged the cause of my reproach at the hand of Nabal, and has delivered his servant from the power of evil; and the Lord has returned the mischief of Nabal upon his own head. And David sent and spoke concerning Abigaia, to take her to himself for a wife.
Kane Daudi owinjo ni Nabal osetho, nowacho niya, “Pak obed ne Jehova Nyasaye, mosechulo kuor kuom ajara mane Nabal ojarago. Osegengʼo jatichne mondo kik otim marach mi oseketo timbene maricho e wiye owuon.” Eka Daudi nooro wach ne Abigael, kopenje mondo obed chiege.
40 So the servants of David came to Abigaia to Carmel, and spoke to her, saying, David has sent us to you, to take you to himself for a wife.
Jotichne ne odhi Karmel mowachone Abigael niya, “Daudi oseorowa iri mondo wateri ire idhi ibed chiege.”
41 And she arose, and did reverence with her face to the earth, and said, Behold, your servant [is] for an handmaid to wash the feet of your servants.
Nokulore piny ka okulo wiye piny auma mochopo e lowo mine owacho, “Jatichni madhako nika, oikore mar tiyonu kendo luoko tiend jotich ruodha.”
42 And Abigaia arose, and mounted her ass, and five damsels followed her: and she went after the servants of David, and became his wife.
Abigael noidho punda piyo piyo ka jotije abich hike kendo rite, negidhi gi joote Daudi mobedo chiege.
43 And David took Achinaam out of Jezrael, and they were both his wives.
Daudi noyudo osekendo Ahinoam ma nyar Jezreel, to giduto ne gin mond Daudi.
44 And Saul gave Melchol his daughter, David's wife, to Phalti the son of Amis who was of Romma.
To Saulo nosekawo nyare ma Mikal, mane chi Daudi mi omiyo Paltiel wuod Laish mane ja-Galim.
