1 Chronicles 19
1 Now it came to pass that Naas the king of the children of Ammon died, and his son reigned is his stead.
E kinde mamoko Nahash ruodh Amon notho mi wuode nobedo ruoth kare.
2 And David said: I will shew kindness to Hanon the son of Naas: for his father did a favour to me. And David sent messengers to comfort him upon the death of his father. But when they were come into the land of the children of Ammon, to comfort Hanon,
Daudi noparo e chunye kowacho niya, “Anatim ngʼwono ni Hanun wuod Nahash, nikech wuon mare bende notimona ngʼwono.” Omiyo Daudi nooro joote mondo otimne Hanun mos kuom tho wuon mare. Kane joote Daudi nobiro ir Hanun e piny jo-Amon mondo gitimne mos,
3 The princes of the children of Ammon said to Hanon: Thou thinkest perhaps that David to do honour to thy father hath sent comforters to thee: and thou dost not take notice, that his servants are come to thee to consider, and search, and spy out thy land.
joka ruoth mag Amon nowachone Hanun niya, “Iparo ni Daudi miyo wuonu duongʼ ka ooro ji iri mondo ogoni mos? Donge joge osebiro mana mondo ginon kendo gicheng pinywa mondo onwangʼ yo ma onyalo loyego?”
4 Wherefore Hanon shaved the heads and beards of the servants of David, and cut away their garments from the buttocks to the feet, and sent them away.
Omiyo Hanun nomako joote Daudi molielogi, ma ongʼado lepgi koa e dier ngʼegi nyaka e nungogi kadhi piny, bangʼe to oriembogi.
5 And when they were gone, they sent word to David, who sent to meet them (for they had suffered a great affront) and ordered them to stay at Jericho till their beards grew and then to return.
Kane ngʼato obiro mi onyiso Daudi gima osetimore ne joge, ne ooro joote mondo oromnegi nikech ne giyudo wichkuot malich. Ruoth nowacho niya, “Beduru Jeriko nyaka yie tiku dongi eka bangʼe uduogi.”
6 And when the children of Ammon saw that they had done an injury to David, Hanon and the rest of the people sent a thousand talents of silver, to hire them chariots and horsemen out of Mesopotamia, and out of Syria Maacha, and out of Soba.
Kane jo-Amon oneno ka gisechido chuny Daudi, Hanun kod jo-Amon nooro fedha madirom kilo alufu piero adek mondo giholgo geche gi joriembgi kuom jo-Aram-Naharaim, jo-Aram Maaka kod jo-Zoba.
7 And they hired two and thirty thousand chariots, and the king of Maacha, with his people. And they came and camped over against Medaba. And the children of Ammon gathered themselves together out of their cities, and came to battle.
Ne giholo geche alufu piero adek gariyo gi joriembgi kaachiel gi ruodh jo-Maaka gi jolweny mage kendo negibiro ma gigoyo kambi but Medeba, to jo-Amon nochoki e miechgi mi negiyworone lweny.
8 And when David heard of it, he sent Joab, and all the army of valiant men:
Kane Daudi owinjo wachno nooro Joab gi jokedo mag lweny duto.
9 And the children of Ammon came out and put their army in array before the gate of the city: and the kings, that were come to their aid, stood apart in the field.
Jo-Amon nobiro mi giriedo ne lweny e dhoranga dalagi maduongʼ kane ruodhi mane obiro konyogi ne nikendgi e pap.
10 Wherefore Joab understanding that the battle was set against him before and behind, chose out the bravest men of all Israel, and marched against the Syrians,
Joab noneno ni wasigu ni yo ka nyime gi yo katoke, omiyo noyiero jolweny mabeyo moloyo ei Israel, moketogi mondo giked gi jo-Aram.
11 And the rest of the people he delivered into the hand of Abisai his brother, and they went against the children of Ammon.
To joge mane odongʼ to noketo e bwo owadgi Abishai kendo nochomogi kuom jo-Amon.
12 And he said: If the Syrians be too strong for me, then thou shalt help me: but if the children of Ammon be too strong for thee, I will help thee.
Joab nowacho niya, “Ka jo-Aram dwaro loya, to ubi ukonya, to ka diponi jo-Amon tek moloyi, to anabi akonyi.
13 Be of good courage and let us behave ourselves manfully for our people, and for the cities of our God: and the Lord will do that which is good in his sight.
Bed motegno kendo wakeduru motegno ne jowa kendo ni mier madongo mag Nyasachwa. Jehova Nyasaye notim gima ber e nyim wangʼe.”
14 So Joab and the people that were with him, went against the Syrians to the battle: and he put them to flight.
Eka Joab gi jolweny mane ni kode nodhi mondo oked gi jo-Aram kendo negiringo e nyimgi.
15 And the children of Ammon seeing that the Syrians were fled, they likewise fled from Abisai his brother, and went into the city: and Joab also returned to Jerusalem.
Kane jo-Amon oneno jo-Aram karingo gin bende negiringo e nyim owadgi ma Abishai mi gidhi ei dala maduongʼ. Eka Joab nodok Jerusalem.
16 But the Syrians seeing that they had fallen before Israel, sent messengers, and brought to them the Syrians that were beyond the river: and Sophach, general of the army of Adarezer, was their leader.
Bangʼ kane jo-Aram oneno ni jo-Israel oseloyogi, negioro joote moomo jo-Aram mane ni loka Aora kotelnegi gi Shofak mane jatend jolwenj Hadadezer.
17 And it was told David, and he gathered together all Israel, and passed the Jordan, and came upon them, and put his army in array against them, and they fought with him.
Kane onyis Daudi wachni, nochoko jo-Israel duto ma ongʼado aora Jordan, kendo nochomogi mi giriedo ne lweny momanyore kodgi. Daudi noriedo joge mondo girad e lweny kod jo-Aram mi gikedo kode.
18 But the Syrian fled before Israel: and David slew of the Syrians seven thousand chariots, and forty thousand footmen, and Sophach the general of the army.
To negiringo gia e nyim jo-Israel kendo Daudi nonego jolwenjgi alufu abiriyo ma joidho geche miywayo gi farese to gi jolweny mawuotho gi tiendgi alufu piero angʼwen. Bende nonego Shofak mane jatend jolwenjgi.
19 And when the servants of Adarezer saw themselves overcome by Israel, they went over to David, and served him: and Syria would not help the children of Ammon any more.
Kane jopiny mane nitie e bwo loch Hadadezer oneno ni jo-Israel oseloyogi negiloso kwe kod Daudi mi gibedo e bwo lochgi. Omiyo jo-Aram ne ok ochako oyie konyo jo-Amon kendo.
