2 Samuel 2
1 After this, Dauid asked counsel of the Lord, saying, Shall I go vp into any of the cities of Iudah? And the Lord sayd vnto him, Goe vp. And Dauid sayd Whither shall I goe? Hee then answered, Vnto Hebron.
Bangʼ kinde moko Daudi nopenjo Jehova Nyasaye wach niya, “Bende anyalo dhi e achiel kuom miech Juda?” Jehova Nyasaye ne odwoke niya, “Dhiyo.” Daudi nopenjo niya, “Adhi kanye?” Jehova Nyasaye ne odwoke niya, “Dhi Hebron.”
2 So Dauid went vp thither, and his two wiues also, Ahinoam the Izreelite, and Abigail Nabals wife the Carmelite.
Omiyo Daudi nodhi kuno gi monde ariyo, Ahinoam nyar Jezreel gi Abigael ma dhako ma chwore otho mane jaod Nabal ja-Karmel.
3 And Dauid brought vp the men that were with him, euery man with his houshold, and they dwelt in the cities of Hebron.
Daudi bende nodhi gi joma ne ni kode ka moro ka moro nigi joode, kendo negidak Hebron gi dalane.
4 Then the men of Iudah came, and there they anoynted Dauid King ouer the house of Iudah. And they tolde Dauid, saying, that the men of Iabesh Gilead buried Saul.
Eka jo-Juda nobiro Hebron, kendo ne giwiro Daudi obedo ruodh dhood Juda kanyo. Kane onyis Daudi ni jo-Jabesh Gilead ema ne oiko Saulo,
5 And Dauid sent messengers vnto the men of Iabesh Gilead, and said vnto them, Blessed are ye of the Lord, that yee haue shewed such kindenes vnto your lord Saul, that you haue buried him.
nooro joote ni jo-Jabesh Gilead mondo owachnegi niya, “Jehova Nyasaye mondo ogwedhu kuom timo tim ngʼwono ni Saulo ma ruodhu ka uike.
6 Therefore now the Lord shewe mercie and trueth vnto you: and I will recompence you this benefite, because ye haue done this thing.
Mad Jehova Nyasaye otimnu ngʼwonone gi adierane makare, kata an bende abiro timonu tim ngʼwonono machal kamano nikech ma musetimo.
7 Therefore nowe let your handes be strong, and be you valiant: albeit your master Saul bee dead, yet neuerthelesse the house of Iudah hath anoynted me King ouer them.
To koro sani beduru motegno kendo ma jochir, nimar Saulo ruodhu osetho, kendo dhood Juda osewira abed ruodhgi.”
8 But Abner the sonne of Ner that was captaine of Sauls hoste, tooke Ish-bosheth the sonne of Saul, and brought him to Mahanaim,
E kindeno noyudo ka Abner wuod Ner, jatend lwenj Saulo, osekawo Ish-Boseth wuod Saulo motere nyaka Mahanaim.
9 And made him King ouer Gilead, and ouer the Ashurites, and ouer Izreel, and ouer Ephraim, and ouer Beniamin, and ouer al Israel.
Nokete ruodh Gilead, Ashuri gi Jezreel, to gi Efraim gi Benjamin kod Israel duto.
10 Ish-bosheth Sauls sonne was fourtie yeere olde when he began to reigne ouer Israel, and reigned two yeere: but the house of Iudah followed Dauid.
Ish-Boseth wuod Saulo ne ja-higni piero angʼwen kano bedo ruodh Israel, nobedo ruoth kuom higni ariyo. Dhood Juda, to ne luwo Daudi.
11 (And the time which Dauid reigned in Hebron ouer the house of Iudah, was seuen yeere and sixe moneths)
Daudi nobedo ruodh dhood Juda kuom higni abiriyo, gi dweche auchiel kane en Hebron.
12 And Abner the sonne of Ner, and the seruantes of Ish-bosheth the sonne of Saul went out of Mahanaim to Gibeon.
Abner wuod Ner, kaachiel gi jo-Ish-Boseth wuod Saulo, nowuok Mahanaim mi gidhi Gibeon.
13 And Ioab the sonne of Zeruiah, and the seruants of Dauid went out and met one another by the poole of Gibeon: and they sate downe, the one on the one side of the poole, and the other on the otherside of the poole.
Joab wuod Zeruya gi jo-Daudi nodhi moromo kodgi e yawo man Gibeon. Negibet ka gingʼiyore jomoko koni to jomoko kocha.
14 Then Abner saide to Ioab, Let the yong men nowe arise, and play before vs. And Ioab said, Let them arise.
Eka Abner nowachone Joab niya, “We yawuowi oa malo mondo omakre achingʼ gachingʼ e nyimwa ka.” Joab nodwoko niya, “Kare gitim kamano.”
15 Then there arose and went ouer twelue of Beniamin by number, which perteined to Ish-bosheth the sonne of Saul, and twelue of the seruants of Dauid.
Eka negia malo mokwan-gi mi giromo ji apar gi ariyo ma jo-Benjamin ma ruodhgi ne en Ish-Boseth wuod Saulo, to gi apar gariyo mag Daudi.
16 And euery one caught his fellowe by the head, and thrust his sword in his fellowes side, so they fell downe together: wherefore ye place was called Helkath-hazzurim, which is in Gibeon.
Negirado ka moro ka moro mako wadgi gi wiye eka ochwoyo ngʼetne gi ligangla; eka giduto negiruombore piny. Omiyo nochak kar lwenyno mane ni Gibeon ni Helkath Hazurim ma tiende ni paw ligangla.
17 And the battel was exceeding sore that same day: for Abner and the men of Israel fell before the seruants of Dauid.
Chiengʼno lweny ne ger ahinya, kendo joma ne nigi Daudi noloyo Abner gi jo-Israel.
18 And there were three sonnes of Zeruiah there, Ioab, and Abishai, and Asahel. And Asahel was as light on foote as a wilde roe.
Yawuot Zeruya adek ne gin Joab, Abishai gi Asahel. Koro Asahel ne tiende yot e ngʼwech mana ka mwanda.
19 And Asahel followed after Abner, and in going he turned neither to the right hand nor to the left from Abner.
Ne olawo Abner, ka ok obaro korachwich kata koracham kolawe alawa.
20 Then Abner looked behind him, and said, Art thou Asahel? And he answered, Yea.
Abner nongʼiyo chien mopenjo niya, “Mano in, Asahel?” Modwoko niya, “Ee en an.”
21 Then Abner said, Turne thee either to the right hande, or to the left, and take one of the yong men, and take thee his weapons: and Asahel would not depart from him.
Eka Abner nowachone niya, “Bar korachwich kata koracham; mak achiel kuom yawuowigo mondo imaye gige mag lweny.” To Asahel notamore weyo lawe.
22 And Abner saide to Asahel, Depart from me: wherefore shoulde I smite thee to the grounde? howe then shoulde I be able to holde vp my face to Ioab thy brother?
Abner nosiemo Asahel niya, “We lawa! En angʼo momiyo danegi? To katimo kamano, ere kaka dachungʼ e nyim Joab owadu?”
23 And when he woulde not depart, Abner with the hinder ende of the speare smote him vnder the fift ryb, that the speare came out behind him: and he fell downe there, and dyed in his place. And as many as came to the place where Asahel fell downe and dyed, stoode still.
To Asahel nodagi weyo lawe; mi Abner nochwowo ii Asahel gi tongʼ mi tongʼ nowuok yo ka ngʼee Asahel. Nogore piny kanyo mi otho gisano. Kendo ji duto nochungʼ ka gichopo kama Asahel nogore piny motho.
24 Ioab also and Abishai pursued after Abner: and the sunne went downe, when they were come to the hill Ammah, that lieth before Giah, by the way of the wildernesse of Gibeon.
To Joab gi Abishai nolawo Abner, kendo ka chiengʼ ne podho, negichopo e got Ama, machiegni gi Gia e yo mochiko thim mar Gibeon.
25 And the children of Beniamin gathered them selues together after Abner, and were on an heape and stoode on the top of an hill.
Eka jo-Benjamin nochungʼ bangʼ Abner. Negichokore e migepe kendo negiikore ne lweny ewi got.
26 Then Abner called to Ioab, and said, Shall the sworde deuoure for euer? knowest thou not, that it will be bitternesse in the latter ende? howe long then shall it be, or thou bid the people returne from following their brethren?
Abner noluongo Joab matek kowacho niya, “Chuno ni ligangla biro neko nyaka chiengʼ koso? Donge ingʼeyo ni wachni biro kelo sigu? Biro kawo kinde maromo nade mondo ikwer jogi owe lawo owetegi?”
27 And Ioab sayde, As God liueth, if thou haddest not spoken, surely euen in the morning the people had departed euery one backe from his brother.
Joab nodwoke niya, “Akwongʼora gi nying Nyasaye mangima, ni ka dine ok iwuoyo, to jogi dodhi nyime gi lawo owetegi nyaka gokinyi.”
28 So Ioab blew a trumpet, and all the people stoode still, and pursued after Israel no more, neither fought they any more.
Omiyo Joab nogoyo tungʼ mi ji duto nobiro mochungʼ, ne ok gimedo lawo jo-Israel, kata lweny bende ok ne gidhiyogo nyime.
29 And Abner and his men walked all that night through the plaine, and went ouer Iorden, and past through all Bithron till they came to Mahanaim.
Otienono duto Abner gi joge nowuotho ka gingʼado Araba. Negiyoro aora Jordan, negimedo dhi ka gikadho gwengʼ Bithron duto mi gichopo Mahanaim.
30 Ioab also returned backe from Abner: and when he had gathered all the people together, there lacked of Dauids seruants nineteene men and Asahel.
Eka Joab noduogo koa lawo Abner mi ochoko joge duto kanyakla. Ji apar gochiko mag Daudi ne onge ka ok okwan Asahel.
31 But the seruants of Dauid had smitten of Beniamin, and of Abners men, so that three hundreth and threescore men dyed.
To jo-Daudi nosenego jo-Benjamin mia adek gi piero auchiel mane nigi Abner.
32 And they tooke vp Asahel, and buried him in the sepulchre of his father, which was in Bethlehem: and Ioab and his men went all night, and when they came to Hebron, the day arose.
Negitingʼo ringre Asahel mi giike e liend wuon-gi e Bethlehem. Eka Joab gi joge nowuotho otieno duto mi gichopo Hebron ka piny yawore.
