2 Samuel 3
1 There was then long warre betweene the house of Saul and the house of Dauid: but Dauid waxed stronger, and the house of Saul waxed weaker.
Lweny mane ni e kind dhood Saulo gi dhood Daudi nodhi nyime kuom ndalo mangʼeny. Daudi nomedo bedo giteko ahinya, ka dhood Saulo to nomedo bedo manyap.
2 And vnto Dauid were children borne in Hebron: and his eldest sonne was Amnon of Ahinoam the Izreelite,
Yawuowi mane Daudi onywolo ka en Hebron e magi: Wuode makayo ne en Amnon wuod Ahinoam nyar Jezreel;
3 And his seconde, was Chileab of Abigail the wife of Nabal the Carmelite: and the third, Absalom the sonne of Maacah the daughter of Talmai the King of Geshur,
mar ariyo ne en Kileab wuod Abigael ma dhako mane chwore otho mane jaod Nabal ja-Karmel; mar adek ne en Abisalom wuod Maaka nyar Talmai ruodh Geshur;
4 And the fourth, Adoniiah the sonne of Haggith, and the fifth, Shephatiah the sonne of Abital,
mar angʼwen ne en Adonija wuod Hagith; mar abich ne en Shefatia wuod Abital;
5 And the sixt, Ithream by Eglah Dauids wife: these were borne to Dauid in Hebron.
mar auchiel ne en Ithream ma wuod chi Daudi miluongo ni Egla. Jogi duto Daudi nonywolo ka en Hebron.
6 Nowe while there was warre betweene the house of Saul and the house of Dauid, Abner made all his power for the house of Saul.
E ndalo mag lweny mane ni e kind dhood Saulo gi dhood Daudi, Abner nomedo bedo gi teko e dhood Saulo.
7 And Saul had a concubine named Rizpah, the daughter of Aiiah. And Ish-bosheth sayde to Abner, Wherefore hast thou gone in to my fathers concubine?
Saulo ne nigi dhako machielo ma nyinge Rizpa nyar Aiya. Kendo Ish-Boseth nopenjo Abner niya, “Marangʼo isedonjo e od wuora mi ikawo chiege miloko mari?”
8 Then was Abner very wroth for the words of Ish-bosheth, and said, Am I a dogges head, which against Iudah do shew mercie this day vnto the house of Saul thy father, to his brethren, and to his neighbours, and haue not deliuered thee into the hande of Dauid, that thou chargest me this day with a fault concerning this woman?
Abner ne iye owangʼ ahinya nikech wach mane Ish-Boseth owachone mine odwoke niya, “Kare aromra mana gi wich guok e kind Juda? Kawuononi abolora e bwo loch wuonu ma Saulo gi joode kod osiepene. Pok achiwi e lwet Daudi. To kata kamano, iketho nyinga ni atimo richo gi dhakoni!
9 So doe God to Abner, and more also, except, as the Lord hath sworne to Dauid, euen so I doe to him,
Mad Nyasaye ngʼadne Abner bura, kata obed ni en bura matek machalo nade, ka diponi ok atimone Daudi gima Jehova Nyasaye nokwongʼore ka singone,
10 To remoue the kingdome from the house of Saul, that the throne of Dauid may be stablished ouer Israel, and ouer Iudah, euen from Dan to Beer-sheba.
mi alok pinyruoth kagolo e dhood Saulo kendo kaguro motegno loch Daudi e Israel gi Juda chakre Dan nyaka Bersheba.”
11 And he durst no more answere to Abner: for he feared him.
Ish-Boseth ok nohedhore wacho gimoro kendo ni Abner nikech noluore.
12 Then Abner sent messengers to Dauid on his behalfe, saying, Whose is the lande? who should also say, Make couenant with me, and beholde, mine hande shalbe with thee, to bring all Israel vnto thee.
Eka Abner ne ooro joote mage moko ir Daudi mondo owach kama: “Mani en piny ngʼa? Los winjruok koda kendo abiro konyi kakelo Israel duto kuomi.”
13 Who saide, Well, I will make a couenant with thee: but one thing I require of thee, that is, that thou see not my face except thou bring Michal Sauls daughter when thou commest to see me.
Daudi nowacho niya, “Mano ber. Abiro loso winjruok e kinda kodi. To gimoro achiel madwaro kuomi en; kik ibi e nyima ka ok ikelo Mikal nyar Saulo chiengʼ ma ibiro nena.”
14 Then Dauid sent messengers to Ish-bosheth Sauls sonne, saying, Deliuer me my wife Michal, which I marryed for an hundreth foreskinnes of the Philistims.
Eka Daudi nooro joote ir Ish-Boseth wuod Saulo konyise niya, “Miya Mikal chiega mane anywomo an awuon gi ringre jo-Filistia mia achiel.”
15 And Ish-bosheth sent, and tooke her from her husband Phaltiel the sonne of Laish.
Omiyo Ish-Boseth nogolo chik mondo ogole kuom Paltiel wuod Laish machuore.
16 And her husband went with her, and came weeping behinde her, vnto Bahurim: then saide Abner vnto him, Go, and returne. So he returned.
Chwore to noluwo bangʼe kaywak nyaka gichopo Bahurim, eka Abner ne owachone niya, “Dog dala!” Mi nodok.
17 And Abner had communication with the Elders of Israel, saying, Ye sought for Dauid in times past, that he might be your King.
Abner ne owuoyo gi jodong Israel kowacho niya, “Kuom kinde moko usebedo ka udwaro keto Daudi obed ruodhu.”
18 Nowe then doe it: for the Lord hath spoken of Dauid, saying, By the hand of my seruant Dauid I will saue my people Israel out of the handes of the Philistims, and out of the handes of all their enemies.
Koro sani timuru kamano! Nimar Jehova Nyasaye ne osingore ni Daudi ni, Ka akonyora gi jatichna Daudi abiro reso joga Israel oa e lwet Filistia kendo e lwet wasikgi duto.
19 Also Abner spake to Beniamin, and afterward Abner went to speake with Dauid in Hebron, concerning all that Israel was content with, and the whole house of Beniamin.
Abner ne owuoyo gi jo-Benjamin en owuon. Eka ne odhi Hebron mondo onyis Daudi weche duto ma jo-Israel gi dhood Benjamin duto ne dwa timo.
20 So Abner came to Dauid to Hebron, hauing twentie men with him, and Dauid made a feast vnto Abner, and to the men that were with him.
Kane Abner gi ji piero ariyo mane obirogo ir Daudi ochopo Hebron, Daudi ne olosone nyasi mar chiemo kaachiel gi joge.
21 Then Abner sayde vnto Dauid, I will rise vp, and goe gather all Israel vnto my lorde the King, that they may make a couenant with thee, and that thou mayest reigne ouer all that thine heart desireth. Then Dauid let Abner depart, who went in peace.
Eka Abner ne owacho ni Daudi niya, “We mondo adhi piyo mondo achok jo-Israel duto ni ruodha ma ruoth, mondo giwinjre kodi, mondo ibed ruodhgi giduto kaka chunyi dwaro.” Omiyo Daudi ne oweyo Abner oa ire modhi gi kwe.
22 And beholde, the seruants of Dauid and Ioab came from the campe, and brought a great pray with them (but Abner was not with Dauid in Hebron: for he had sent him away, and he departed in peace)
Joge Daudi gi Joab noduogo koa pecho e sechego kendo negikelo gik mangʼeny moyaki. Abner to ne osewuok oweyo Daudi Hebron nikech Daudi ne oseweye thuolo mondo odhi, kendo noweye odhi gi kwe.
23 When Ioab, and all the hoste that was with him were come, men tolde Ioab, saying, Abner the sonne of Ner came to the King, and he hath sent him away, and he is gone in peace.
Kane Joab gi jolweny duto mane ni kode odonjo, ne owachne ni Abner wuod Ner ne osebiro ir ruoth, mi ruoth ne osemiye thuolo modhi, kendo bende nine osedhi gi kwe.
24 Then Ioab came to the King, and saide, What hast thou done? beholde, Abner came vnto thee, why hast thou sent him away, and he is departed?
Omiyo Joab ne odhi ir ruoth mowachone niya, “Isetimo angʼoni? Ne, Abner ne obiro iri, to angʼo momiyo iweye odhi? Koro osedhi!
25 Thou knowest Abner the sonne of Ner: for he came to deceiue thee, and to knowe thy outgoing and ingoing, and to knowe all that thou doest.
Ingʼeyo Abner wuod Ner; osebiro mondo owuondi kendo mondo onon kendo ongʼe kaka iwuotho mondo ongʼe gik moko duto ma itimo.”
26 And when Ioab was gone out from Dauid, he sent messengers after Abner, which brought him againe from the well of Siriah vnknowing to Dauid.
Joab ne owuok oweyo Daudi mi ooro joote mi olawo Abner, kendo ne gijuke ka en e soko man Sira mi giduoge. To Daudi ne ok ongʼeyo wachni.
27 And when Abner was come againe to Hebron, Ioab tooke him aside in the gate to speake with him peaceably, and smote him vnder the fift ryb, that he dyed, for the blood of Asahel his brother.
Koro kane Abner osedwogo Hebron, Joab notere tenge e dhorangach; ka gima odwa wuoyo kode lingʼ-lingʼ. To kendo gikanyo, ema nochuloe kuor mar Asahel, mi Joab nochwowo iye motho.
28 And when afterwarde it came to Dauids eare, he saide, I and my kingdome are giltlesse before the Lord for euer, concerning the blood of Abner the sonne of Ner.
Bangʼe ka Daudi nowinjo wachni, nowacho niya, “An kod pinyruodha wanabed maler e nyim Jehova Nyasaye nyaka chiengʼ kuom remb Abner wuod Ner.
29 Let the blood fall on the head of Ioab, and on all his fathers house, that the house of Ioab be neuer without some that haue running issues, or leper, or that leaneth on a staffe, or that doeth fall on the sworde, or that lacketh bread.
Mad rembe bed ewi Joab gi ewi dhood wuon-gi duto! Mad e dhood Joab kik bedi ni onge ngʼama nigi adhola machwer kata ja-dhoho kata ngʼama wuotho gi luth kata ngʼama inego gi ligangla kata ngʼama ochando chiemo.”
30 (So Ioab and Abishai his brother slewe Abner, because he had slaine their brother Asahel at Gibeon in battel)
Joab gi Abishai owadgi nonego Abner nikech nosenego Asahel mowadgi e lweny mane oked Gibeon.
31 And Dauid said to Ioab, and to al the people that were with him, Rent your clothes, and put on sackecloth, and mourne before Abner: and King Dauid him selfe followed the beare.
Eka Daudi nowacho ni Joab gi ji duto mane ni kode niya, “Yiechuru lepu kendo rwakreuru gi lep ywak kendo wuothuru e nyim Abner ka uywak.” Ruoth Daudi owuon to nowuotho kaluwo joma otingʼo ringre Abner.
32 And when they had buryed Abner in Hebron, the King lift vp his voyce, and wept beside the sepulchre of Abner, and all the people wept.
Abner ne oiki e piny Hebron, kendo ruoth noywak malit e liende. Ji duto bende noywak.
33 And the King lamented ouer Abner, and sayde, Dyed Abner as a foole dyeth?
Ruoth nochwogo wend ywak ne Abner kama: “Yaye bende ne onego Abner tho mana kaka ngʼama ofuwo tho?
34 Thine handes were not bounde, nor thy feete tyed in fetters of brasse: but as a man falleth before wicked men, so diddest thou fall. And all the people wept againe for him.
Lweti ne ok otwe, tiendeni ne ok otwe gi ratege. Isepodho mana kaka ngʼato podho e lwet joma richo.” Kendo ji duto notugore ka ywage kendo.
35 Afterwarde all the people came to cause Dauid eate meate while it was yet day, but Dauid sware, saying, So doe God to me and more also, if I taste bread, or ought els till the sunne be downe.
Eka giduto negibiro kendo gisayo Daudi mondo ochamie gimoro kar odiechiengʼ, to Daudi nosekwongʼore kowacho niya, “Mad Nyasaye ngʼadna bura kata obedo ni en malit manade ka dipo ni abilo chiemo kata chamo chiemo moro amora ka chiengʼ pok opodho.”
36 And all the people knewe it, and it pleased them: as whatsoeuer the King did, pleased all the people.
Ji duto noneno moyie gimor; adieri negimor gi gik moko duto ma ruoth notimo.
37 For all the people and all Israel vnderstoode that day, howe that it was not the Kings deede that Abner the sonne of Ner was slaine.
Omiyo chiengʼno ji duto gi Israel duto nongʼeyo ni ruoth ne ok oriwore e wach nek mar Abner wuod Ner.
38 And the King said vnto his seruants, Know ye not, that there is a prince and a great man falle this day in Israel?
Eka ruoth nowacho ni joge niya, “Donge ungʼeyo ni jatelo kendo ngʼat maduongʼ osetho e Israel kawuono?
39 And I am this day weake and newly anoynted King: and these men the sonnes of Zeruiah be too harde for me: the Lord rewarde the doer of euill according to his wickednesse.
Kawuononi, kata bedni an e ngʼat mowir mondo obed ruoth to abwok, yawuot Zeruya-gi otamo wangʼa. Mad Jehova Nyasaye chul kuor ni ngʼama timne rach marom gi timbene maricho!”
