1 Samuel 20
1 And Dauid fled from Naioth in Ramah, and came and sayd before Ionathan, What haue I done? what is mine iniquitie? and what sinne haue I committed before thy father, that he seeketh my life?
Eka Daudi noringo koa Nayoth e gwengʼ Rama mine odhi ir Jonathan mopenje niya, “Angʼo masetimo? Ere kethona? Rach mane ma asetimo ne wuonu, momiyo odwaro kawo ngimana?”
2 And he sayde vnto him, God forbid, thou shalt not die: beholde, my father will do nothing great nor small, but he will shewe it me: and why should my father hide this thing from me? he will not doe it.
Jonathan nodwoke niya, “Onge. Ok ibi tho! Winji, wuonwa ok tim gimoro amora, bedni oduongʼ kata otin, ma ok onyisa. Angʼo madimi opandna wachni? Ok en kamano!”
3 And Dauid sware againe and sayd, Thy father knoweth that I haue found grace in thine eyes: therefore he thinketh, Ionathan shall not knowe it, lest he be sorie: but in deede, as the Lord liueth, and as thy soule liueth, there is but a step betweene me and death.
Daudi to nowacho ka kwongʼore niya, “Wuoru ongʼeyo malongʼo kaka igena mi osewacho e chunye ni, ‘Jonathan ok onego ngʼe wachni nikech chunye nyalo bedo gi lit.’ Kata kamano akwongʼora gi nying Jehova Nyasaye mangima to gi nyingi ni kinda gi tho odongʼ mana ondamo achiel.”
4 Then said Ionathan vnto Dauid, Whatsoeuer thy soule requireth, that I wil do vnto thee.
Jonathan nowacho ni Daudi niya, “Gimoro amora midwaro ni atim abiro timoni.”
5 And Dauid said vnto Ionathan, Behold, to morowe is the first day of the moneth, and I shoulde sit with the King at meate: but let me goe, that I may hide my selfe in the fieldes vnto the third day at euen.
Omiyo Daudi nowacho niya, “Winji, kiny en Sawo mar Dwe manyien kendo nitie budho ma onego bed ni achiemo gi ruoth, to we adhi apondi oko nyaka chop odhiambo mar orucha.
6 If thy father make mention of me, then say, Dauid asked leaue of me, that he might goe to Beth-lehem to his owne citie: for there is a yeerely sacrifice for all that familie.
Ka wuonu ok onena e nyasini, to nyise ni, ‘Daudi nokwaya mondo amiye thuolo odhi dalagi Bethlehem mapiyo piyo, nikech anywolagi duto nigi misango mar higa ka higa.’
7 And if he say thus, It is well, thy seruant shall haue peace: but if he be angrie, be sure that wickednesse is concluded of him.
Ka owacho ni, ‘Mano ber,’ eka anabed gi adieri ni jatichni nigi kwe. To ka mirima omake, to ibiro bedo gi adiera ni oseketo chunye ni nyaka to onega.
8 So shalt thou shew mercy vnto thy seruant: for thou hast ioyned thy seruant into a couenant of the Lord with thee, and if there be in me iniquitie, slay thou me: for why shouldest thou bring me to thy father?
In to koro bed ja-adiera ne jatichni, nikech isekwongʼori kode e nyim Jehova Nyasaye. To ka an jaketho to nega in iwuon! Angʼo ma dimi iketa e lwet wuonu?”
9 And Ionathan answered, God keepe that from thee: for if I knewe that wickednesse were concluded of my father to come vpon thee, would not I tell it thee?
Jonathan nowachone niya, “Mano ok nyal timore! Ka dine angʼeyo kata mana matin ni wuora dwaro timoni marach, donge danyisi?”
10 Then said Dauid to Ionathan, Who shall tell me? how shall I knowe, if thy father answere thee cruelly?
Daudi nopenje niya, “Ngʼa mabiro wachona ka wuonu odwoki gi gero?”
11 And Ionathan sayde to Dauid, Come and let vs goe out into the fielde: and they twaine went out into the fielde.
Jonathan nowacho niya, “Bi wadhi kuma opondo.” Omiyo negidhi giduto.
12 Then Ionathan sayde to Dauid, O Lord God of Israel, when I haue groped my fathers minde to morow at this time, or within this three dayes, and if it be well with Dauid, and I then send not vnto thee, and shewe it thee,
Eka Jonathan nowachone Daudi niya, “Gi nying Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasach Israel, abiro wuoyo gi wuora e sa maka ma orucha! Ka en gi paro maber kuomi, to donge abiro anyisi?
13 The Lord doe so and much more vnto Ionathan: but if my father haue minde to doe thee euill, I will shew thee also, and sende thee away, that thou mayest goe in peace: and the Lord be with thee as he hath bene with my father.
To ka wuora nigi chuny mar hinyi, to aweyo ma ok anyisi kendo konyi mondo itony idhi gi kwe, to mondo Jehova Nyasaye ochwada malit. Mad Jehova Nyasaye obed kodi mana kaka osebedo gi wuora.
14 Likewise I require not whiles I liue: for I dout not but thou wilt shew me the mercy of the Lord, that I die not.
To yie itimna ngʼwono mana machal gi ngʼwono mosiko mar Jehova Nyasaye e ndalo duto mag ngimana, mondo kik nega,
15 But I require that thou cut not off thy mercie from mine house for euer: no, not when the Lord hath destroyed the enemies of Dauid, euery one from the earth.
kendo kik iwe timo ngʼwono ni jooda kata mana ka Jehova Nyasaye osetieko wasik Daudi e wangʼ piny.”
16 So Ionathan made a bond with the house of Dauid, saying, Let the Lord require it at the hands of Dauids enemies.
Omiyo Jonathan nokwongʼore gi joka Daudi, kowacho niya, “Mad Jehova Nyasaye mondo ongʼad bura ne wasik Daudi.”
17 And againe Ionathan sware vnto Dauid, because he loued him (for he loued him as his owne soule)
Omiyo Jonathan noketo Daudi mochako ojiwo kwongʼruokne nikech nohere, nimar nohere mana kaka oherore owuon.
18 Then said Ionathan to him, To morowe is the first day of the moneth: and thou shalt be looked for, for thy place shalbe emptie.
Eka Jonathan nowachone Daudi niya, “Kiny en Sawo mar dwe manyien kendo kiny nongʼere ni ionge nikech komi nobed nono.
19 Therefore thou shalt hide thy selfe three dayes, then thou shalt goe downe quickely and come to the place where thou diddest hide thy selfe, when this matter was in hand, and shalt remayne by the stone Ezel.
To kochopo orucha kar odhiambo kanyo to idhi kama ne ipondoe mokwongo ka wechegi nochakore kendo irit but kit Ezel.
20 And I will shoote three arrowes on the side thereof, as though I shot at a marke.
Abiro diro aserni adek e bathe kanyo, ka gima atemo lengʼo gimoro.
21 And after I wil sende a boy, saying, Goe, seeke the arrowes. If I say vnto the boy, See, the arrowes are on this side thee, bring them, and come thou: for it is well with thee and no hurt, as the Lord liueth.
Eka abiro oro rawera kawachone ni, ‘Dhi idwar aserni.’ To kawachone ni, ‘Ne, aserni ni e bathi koni; kelgi ka, eka ibi, nikech akwongʼora gi nying Jehova Nyasaye mangima ni onge gima biro hinyi kendo onge gima rach.’
22 But if I say thus vnto the boy, Behold, the arrowes are beyonde thee, goe thy way: for the Lord hath sent thee away.
To ka awachone rawera ni, ‘Ne, aserni ni nyimi,’ eka nyaka idhi nikech Jehova Nyasaye dwaro ni idhi adhiya.
23 As touching the thing which thou and I haue spoken of, beholde, the Lord be betweene thee and me for euer.
To kuom weche mawasewuoyoe to ipar, nimar Jehova Nyasaye en janeno e kindwa nyaka chiengʼ.”
24 So Dauid hid him selfe in the field: and when the first day of the moneth came, the King sate to eate meate.
Omiyo Daudi nopondo oko kendo kane Sawo mar Dwe manyien ochopo, to ruoth nobet piny mondo ochiem.
25 And the King sate, as at other times vpon his seate, euen vpon his seate by the wall: and Ionathan arose, and Abner sate by Sauls side, but Dauids place was emptie.
Nobet kare mane ojabetie but kor ot, ka gimanyore gi Jonathan, Abner to nobet bath Saulo, kom Daudi to ne ninono.
26 And Saul sayde nothing that day: for hee thought, Some thing hath befallen him, though he were cleane, or els becaus he was not purified.
Saulo ne ok owacho gimoro chiengʼno, nikech noparo e chunye niya, “Nyaka bed ni Daudi osetimo gimoro marach, omiyo ok oler adiera emomiyo ok obiro e nyasi.”
27 But on the morowe which was the second day of the moneth, Dauids place was emptie againe: and Saul sayde vnto Ionathan his sonne, Wherefore commeth not the sonne of Ishai to meate, neither yesterday nor to day?
To kata mana kinyne, ma en chiengʼ mar ariyo mar dwe, kom Daudi ne pod ninono. Eka Saulo nowachone Jonathan wuode niya, “Angʼo momiyo wuod Jesse ok obiro e chiemo, chakre nyoro nyaka kawuono?”
28 And Ionathan answered vnto Saul, Dauid required of me, that he might goe to Beth-lehem.
Jonathan nodwoko niya, “Daudi nohomba kokwaya thuolo mondo odhi Bethlehem.”
29 For he sayde, Let me goe, I pray thee: for our familie offreth a sacrifice in the citie, and my brother hath sent for me: therfore now if I haue found fauour in thine eyes, let me goe, I pray thee, and see my brethren: this is the cause that he commeth not vnto the Kings table.
Nokwayo niya, “Yiena mondo adhi nikech joodwa timo misango e dala kendo owadwa nochika matek ni nyaka achop kuno. Koro akwayi ni yie ingʼwon-na mondo adhi ane owetena. Mano ema omiyo ok osebiro e mesa ruoth.”
30 Then was Saul angrie with Ionathan, and sayde vnto him, Thou sonne of the wicked rebellious woman, doe not I know, that thou hast chosen the sonne of Ishai to thy confusion, and to the confusion and shame of thy mother?
Saulo notoyo mirimbe kuom Jonathan mowachone niya, “In wuod dhako ma wiye tek kendo ma ja-mahundu! Donge angʼeyo ni isebedo jakor wuod Jesse makelo wichkuot ne in iwuon kendo ne minu monywoli?
31 For as long as the sonne of Ishai liueth vpon the earth, thou shalt not be stablished, nor thy kingdome: wherefore now send and fet him vnto me, for he shall surely die.
Ka wuod Jesse pod ngima e pinyni to in kata pinyruodhi ok nyal gurore. Koro or wach mondo okelnago nikech nyaka otho!”
32 And Ionathan answered vnto Saul his father, and said vnto him, Wherefore shall he die? what hath he done?
Jonathan nopenjo wuon-gi niya, “Angʼo momiyo nyaka otho? Angʼo mosetimo?”
33 And Saul cast a speare at him to hit him, whereby Ionathan knew, that it was determined of his father to slay Dauid.
To Saulo nobaye gi tongʼ mondo onege. Eka Jonathan nongʼeyo ni kare wuon-gi dwaro nego Daudi.
34 So Ionathan arose from the table in a great anger, and did eate no meate the seconde day of the moneth: for he was sorie for Dauid, and because his father had reuiled him.
Jonathan nochungʼ moa e mesa ka mirima mager omake chiengʼ mar ariyo mar dwe mane ok ochiemo, nikech chunye ne lit kod timbe wuon-gi mag wichkuot mane otimone Daudi.
35 On the next morning therefore Ionathan than went out into the fielde, at the time appoynted with Dauid, and a litle boy with him.
Kinyne gokinyi Jonathan nodhi oko e kargi mar romo gi Daudi. Ne en-gi wuowi matin,
36 And he saide vnto his boy, Runne now, seeke the arrowes which I shoote, and as the boy ran, he shot an arrowe beyond him.
kendo nowachone wuowino niya, “Ringi mondo idwar aserni madirogi.” E sa ma wuowino ne ringo, nodiro asere mokadhe.
37 And when the boy was come to the place where the arrowe was that Ionathan had shot, Ionathan cryed after the boy, and sayde, Is not the arrowe beyond thee?
Ka wuowino nochopo kama asech Jonathan ne olwarie, Jonathan noluonge gi dwol maduongʼ niya, “Donge asere ni nyimi kanyo?”
38 And Ionathan cryed after the boy, Make speede, haste and stand not still: and Ionathans boy gathered vp the arrowes, and came to his master,
Eka nokok kowacho niya, “Reti! Dhi piyo! Kik ichungʼ!” Wuowino nokwanyo asereno mi odok ir ruodhe.
39 But the boy knewe nothing: onely Ionathan and Dauid knew the matter.
Wuowino ne ok ongʼeyo gimoro amora mane timore, makmana Jonathan gi Daudi kende ema nongʼeyo.
40 Then Ionathan gaue his bowe and arrowes vnto the boy that was with him, and sayd vnto him, Goe, carrie them into the citie.
Eka Jonathan nomiyo wuowino gige mag lweny mowachone niya, “Dhiyo idwokgi dala.”
41 Assoone as the boy was gone, Dauid arose out of a place that was towarde the South, and fel on his face to the ground, and bowed him selfe three times: and they kissed one another, and wept both twaine, till Dauid exceeded.
Bangʼ ka wuowino nosedhi, Daudi nowuok yo milambo mar dir kidi, mi okulore piny e nyim Jonathan nyadidek ka lend wangʼe mulo piny. Eka ne gimosore ma giywak giduto to Daudi noywak moloyo.
42 Therefore Ionathan said to Dauid, Goe in peace: that which we haue sworne both of vs in the Name of the Lord, saying, The Lord be betweene me and thee, and betweene my seede and betweene thy seede, let it stand for euer. And he arose and departed, and Ionathan went into the citie.
Jonathan nowachone Daudi niya, “Dhi gi kwe nimar wasesingore e nyim Jehova Nyasaye ni osiep man e kindwa kodi ka wakwongʼore niya, Jehova Nyasaye obed janeno e kindi koda kendo e kind nyikwayi kod nyikwaya nyaka chiengʼ” Eka Daudi nowuok to Jonathan bende nodok dala.
