1 Samuel 11
1 Then Nahash the Ammonite came vp, and besieged Iabesh Gilead: and all the men of Iabesh saide vnto Nahash, Make a couenant with vs, and we will be thy seruants.
Nahash ja-Amon nodhi malo momonjo Jabesh Gilead. Eka joma chwo man Jabesh Gilead nowachone niya, “Tim winjruok kodwa to wabiro bedo wasumbini magi.”
2 And Nahash ye Ammonite answered them, On this condition will I make a couenant with you, that I may thrust out all your right eies, and bring that shame vpon all Israel.
To Nahash ja-Amon nodwoko niya, “Abiro timo winjruok kodu mana ka uyie ni agolo wengeu ma korachwich kuom ngʼato ka ngʼato mondo akuodgo wi Israel duto.”
3 To whome the Elders of Iabesh said, Giue vs seuen daies respet, that we may sende messengers vnto all the coastes of Israel: and then if no man deliuer vs, we will come out to thee.
Eka jodong Jabesh nowachone niya, “Miwa ndalo abiriyo mondo waor joote e piny Israel duto kaonge ngʼama oyie biro konyowa to wabiro chiwore e lweti.”
4 Then came the messengers to Gibeah of Saul, and tolde these tidings in the eares of the people: and all the people lift vp their voices and wept.
Kane joote otundo Gibea dalagi Saulo mi ginyiso ji wechego, giduto ne giywak matek.
5 And behold, Saul came following the cattell out of the fielde, and Saul saide, What aileth this people, that they weepe? And they tolde him the tidings of the men of Iabesh.
E sechego noyudo Saulo duogo koa e puodho ka owuotho bangʼ rwethe eka nopenjo ni, Angʼo marach gi ji? Angʼo momiyo giywak? Eka negiwachone kendo weche mane jo-jabesh owacho.
6 Then the Spirit of God came vpon Saul, when he heard those tidings, and he was exceeding angrie,
Kane Saulo owinjo wechegi, Roho mar Nyasaye nobiro kuome gi teko, mi iye nowangʼ ahinya.
7 And tooke a yoke of oxen, and hewed them in pieces, and sent them throughout all the coastes of Israel by the hands of messengers, saying, Whosoeuer commeth not foorth after Saul, and after Samuel, so shall his oxen be serued. And the feare of the Lord fell on the people, and they came out with one consent.
Ne okawo rwedhi ariyo mag pur mi oyangʼo mi opogo ringʼo lemo lemo, eka nooro joote gi ringʼogi e piny Israel duto, kowacho niya, “Ma e gima ibiro timne rweth ngʼat modagi luwo bangʼ Saulo gi Samuel.” Eka luoro mar Jehova Nyasaye ne omako ji mine giwuok gi chuny achiel.
8 And when he nombred them in Bezek, the children of Israel were three hundreth thousande men: and the men of Iudah thirtie thousand.
Kane Saulo okwanogi Bezek, jo-Israel ne oromo alufu mia adek to jo-Juda ne oromo alufu piero adek.
9 Then they saide vnto the messengers that came, So say vnto the men of Iabesh Gilead, To morowe by then the sunne be hote, ye shall haue helpe. And the messengers came and shewed it to the men of Iabesh, which were glad.
Neginyiso joote mane obiro niya, “Wachneuru jo-Jabesh Gilead ni, ‘E sa ma chiengʼ oore, enoresu.’” Kane joote odwoko ne jo-Jabesh wachni negimor.
10 Therefore the men of Iabesh sayde, To morowe we will come out vnto you, and yee shall doe with vs all that pleaseth you.
Eka neginyiso jo-Amon niya, “Kiny wanachiwre e lwetu kendo unutimnwa gima uneno ni bernu.”
11 And when the morowe was come, Saul put the people in three bandes, and they came in vpon the hoste in the morning watche, and slewe the Ammonites vntill the heate of the day: and they that remained, were scattered, so that two of them were not left together.
Kinyne Saulo nopogo joge e migepe adek; kane ochopo kogwen eka negidonjo e kambi mar jo-Amon mi ginegogi nyaka chiengʼ obet makech. Jogo mane otony ne oke maonge ji ariyo mane owe kawuotho kaachiel.
12 Then the people said vnto Samuel, Who is he that saide, Shall Saul reigne ouer vs? bring those men that we may slaie them.
Eka ji nowachone Samuel niya, “Ngʼa gini mane penjo ni, ‘Bende Saulo dibed ruodhwa?’ Kelnwagi mondo waneg-gi.”
13 But Saul said, There shall no man die this day: for to day the Lord hath saued Israel.
To Saulo nowacho niya, “Onge ngʼama inego kawuono nikech kawuono Jehova Nyasaye osereso Israel.”
14 Then saide Samuel vnto ye people, Come, that we may goe to Gilgal, and renue the kingdome there.
Eka Samuel ne owacho ne ji niya, “Biuru wadhi Gilgal kendo kuno wadhi guro loch Saulo.”
15 So all the people went to Gilgal, and made Saul King there before the Lord in Gilgal: and there they offered peace offerings before the Lord: and there Saul and all the men of Israel reioyced exceedingly.
Omiyo ji duto nodhi Gilgal kendo negiguro Saulo kaka ruoth e nyim Jehova Nyasaye. Kuno ne gichiwoe misengini mag lalruok e nyim Jehova Nyasaye, kendo Saulo kod Israel noloso budho malich ahinya.
