1 Samuel 25
1 And Samuel died; and all Israel were gathered together, and lamented him; and they buried him in his house at Ramah. And David arose and went down to the wilderness of Paran.
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 at Maon, whose business was at Carmel; and the man was very great, and he had three thousand sheep and a thousand goats; and he was shearing his sheep at 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 name of the man was Nabal, and the name of his wife Abigail; and the woman was of good understanding, and of a beautiful countenance; but the man was churlish and evil in his doings; and he was a Calebite.
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 was shearing his sheep.
Kane Daudi ni e thim, nowinjo ni Nabal ngʼado yie rombe.
5 Then David sent out ten young men; and David said to the young men, Go up to Carmel, and go to Nabal, and greet him in my name.
Omiyo nooro yawuowi apar mowachonegi niya, “Dhiuru Karmel ir Nabal mondo umosnago.
6 And thus shall ye say: Long life [to thee]! and peace be to thee, and peace be to thy house, and peace be to all that thou hast!
Wachneuru ni, ‘Idag amingʼa! Ngimani bende obed maonge tuoche in kaachiel gi odi! Kendo gigi duto obed gi ngima maber!
7 And now I have heard that thou hast shearers; now thy shepherds who were with us, we hurt them not, neither was there aught missed by them, all the while 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 thy young men, and they will tell thee. Therefore let the young men find favour in thine eyes; for we come in a good day: give, I pray thee, what thy hand may find to thy servants, and to thy 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 And David's young men came, and spoke to Nabal according to all those words in the name of David, and ceased.
Kane jo-Daudi ochopo neginyiso Nabal wach ote Daudi, eka negirito.
10 And Nabal answered David's servants and said, Who is David? and who is the son of Jesse? there are many servants now-a-days that break away every man 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 water, and my flesh which I have killed for my shearers, and give [it] to men 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 And David's young men turned their way, and went back, and came and reported to him according to all those words.
Jo-Daudi nowichore mi odok. Kane gichopo, neginyiso Daudi weche duto.
13 And David said to his men, Gird ye on every man his sword. And they girded on every man his sword; and David also girded on his sword; and there went up after David about four hundred men; and two hundred abode by the baggage.
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 [Nabal's] young men told Abigail, Nabal's wife, saying, Behold, David sent messengers out of the wilderness to bless our master; and he has insulted 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, and we were not hurt, neither missed we anything, as long as we companied with them, when we were in the fields.
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 They were a wall to us both by night and day, all the while we were with them feeding the sheep.
Otieno gi odiechiengʼ ne gibedonwa ka ohinga molworowa kinde duto ka wakwayo rombewa butgi.
17 And now know and consider what thou wilt do, for evil is determined against our master, and against all his household; and he is such a son of Belial, that one cannot 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 Abigail made haste, and took two hundred loaves, and two skin-bottles of wine, and five sheep ready dressed, and five measures of parched [corn], and a hundred raisin-cakes, and two hundred fig-cakes, and laid them on 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 young men, Go on before me; behold, I come after you. But she did not tell her husband Nabal.
Eka nowachone jotije niya, “Dhiuru nyime an abiro bangʼu.” To ne ok onyiso chwore ma Nabal.
20 And as she was riding on the ass, and coming down by the covert of the hill, behold, David and his men came down opposite to 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 Now David had said, Surely, in vain have I kept all that this [man] had in the wilderness, so that nothing was missed of all that was his; and he has requited 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 and more also do God to the enemies of David, if I leave of all that is his by the morning light any male.
Mad Nyasaye kum Daudi malit ka dipo ni kiny piny orune ngʼato angʼata madichwo e dala maweyo kapod ngima!”
23 And when Abigail saw David, she hasted and lighted off the ass, and fell before David on her face, and bowed herself to the ground,
Kane Abigael oneno Daudi nolor piyo koa e pundane mane oidho mine mokulore e nyim Daudi nyaka e lowo.
24 and fell at his feet, and said, Upon me, my lord, [upon] me let the iniquity be; but let thy handmaid, I pray thee, speak in thine ears, and hear the words of thy handmaid.
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 thee, regard this man of Belial, Nabal; for as his name is, so is he: Nabal is his name, and folly is with him; and I thy handmaid did not see the young men of my lord, whom thou didst 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] Jehovah liveth, and [as] thy soul liveth, seeing Jehovah has restrained thee from coming with bloodshed, and from avenging thyself with thine own hand, now let thine enemies, and they that seek evil to my lord, be 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 this blessing which thy bondmaid has brought to my lord, let it be given to the young men that follow my lord.
Yie mondo michni, ma jatichni osekelo ni ruodha, mondo omi joma luwi.
28 I pray thee, forgive the transgression of thy handmaid: for Jehovah will certainly make my lord a lasting house; because my lord fights the battles of Jehovah, and evil has not been found in thee all thy days.
“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 is risen up to pursue thee and to seek thy life, the soul of my lord shall be bound in the bundle of the living with Jehovah thy God; and the souls of thine enemies, them shall he sling out from the hollow of the 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 come to pass, when Jehovah shall do to my lord according to all the good that he has spoken concerning thee, and shall appoint thee ruler over Israel,
Kane Jehova Nyasaye osetimo ni ruodha gik mabeyo duto manosingone mi okete jatend jo-Israel,
31 that this shall be no stumbling-block to thee, nor offence of heart for my lord, either that thou hast shed blood without cause, or that my lord has avenged himself. And when Jehovah shall deal well with my lord, then remember thy handmaid.
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 Abigail, Blessed be Jehovah, the God of Israel, who sent thee this day to meet me.
Daudi nowachone Abigael niya, “Pak obed ni Jehova Nyasaye, Nyasach Israel, moseori kawuononi mondo irom koda.
33 And blessed be thy discernment, and blessed be thou, who hast kept me this day from coming with bloodshed, and from avenging myself with mine own hand.
Mad gwedhi kuom ngʼado buchi maber kendo kuom gengʼa mondo kik achwer remo kawuononi mar chulo kuor gi lwetena awuon.
34 But indeed, as Jehovah the God of Israel liveth, who has restrained me from hurting thee, except thou hadst hasted and come to meet me, there had not been left to Nabal by the morning light any 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 So David received of her hand what she had brought him, and said to her, Go up in peace to thy house; see, I have hearkened to thy voice, and have accepted thy person.
Eka Daudi noyie mokawo gik mane osekelone mi owacho niya, “Dhi dala gi kwe. Asewinjo wecheni kendo aseyie gi kwayoni.”
36 And Abigail came to Nabal; and behold, he held a feast in his house, like the feast of a king; and Nabal's heart was merry within him, for he was drunken to excess; so she told him nothing, less or more, until 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 the wine was gone out of Nabal, that his wife told him these things; 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 in about ten days that Jehovah smote Nabal, and he died.
Bangʼ ndalo apar, eka Jehova Nyasaye nogoyo Nabal mi notho.
39 And when David heard that Nabal was dead, he said, Blessed be Jehovah, who has pleaded the cause of my reproach from the hand of Nabal, and has kept back his servant from evil; but Jehovah has returned Nabal's evil upon his own head. And David sent and communed with Abigail, to take her as his 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 And the servants of David came to Abigail to Carmel, and spoke to her, saying, David has sent us to thee, to take thee as his wife.
Jotichne ne odhi Karmel mowachone Abigael niya, “Daudi oseorowa iri mondo wateri ire idhi ibed chiege.”
41 And she arose and bowed herself on her face to the earth, and said, Behold, let thy handmaid be a bondwoman to wash the feet of the servants of my lord.
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 Abigail hasted, and arose, and rode upon an ass, with five damsels of hers that followed her; and she went after the messengers of David, and became his wife.
Abigael noidho punda piyo piyo ka jotije abich hike kendo rite, negidhi gi joote Daudi mobedo chiege.
43 David had also taken Ahinoam of Jizreel; and they became, even both of them, his wives.
Daudi noyudo osekendo Ahinoam ma nyar Jezreel, to giduto ne gin mond Daudi.
44 But Saul had given Michal his daughter, David's wife, to Phalti the son of Laish, who was of Gallim.
To Saulo nosekawo nyare ma Mikal, mane chi Daudi mi omiyo Paltiel wuod Laish mane ja-Galim.
