1 Kings 21
1 And it came to pass after these things, that Naboth the Jezreelite had a vineyard, which was in Jezreel, hard by the palace of Ahab, king of Samaria.
Bangʼ kinde moko wach nowuok momako puoth mzabibu mar Naboth ja-Jezreel, puoth mzabibuno ne nitie Jezreel, machiegni gi dala ruoth maduongʼ mar Ahab ma ruodh Samaria.
2 And Ahab spoke unto Naboth, saying: 'Give me thy vineyard, that I may have it for a garden of herbs, because it is near unto my house; and I will give thee for it a better vineyard than it; or, if it seem good to thee, I will give thee the worth of it in money.'
Ahab nowachone Naboth niya, “Yie akaw puothi mar mzabibu alok puoth alot nikech ochiegni gi dalana maduongʼ. To kar puodhono abiro miyi puoth mzabibu maber moloyo, to bende ka ihero to anachuli gimoro amora midwaro.”
3 And Naboth said to Ahab: 'The LORD forbid it me, that I should give the inheritance of my fathers unto thee.'
To Naboth nodwoke niya, “Jehova Nyasaye ok dibed mamor kade amiyi puodho ma en mwandu kwerena.”
4 And Ahab came into his house sullen and displeased because of the word which Naboth the Jezreelite had spoken to him; for he had said: 'I will not give thee the inheritance of my fathers.' And he laid him down upon his bed, and turned away his face, and would eat no bread.
Omiyo Ahab nodok dala kokuyo kendo ka iye owangʼ nikech Naboth ja-Jezreel nodwoke niya, “Ok anamiyi gir mwandu mar kwerena.” Nonindo e kitandane ka oparore kendo notamore chiemo.
5 But Jezebel his wife came to him, and said unto him: 'Why is thy spirit so sullen, that thou eatest no bread?'
Jaode Jezebel nobiro ire e ot mopenje niya, “En angʼo momiyo ikuyo? En angʼo momoni chiemo?”
6 And he said unto her: 'Because I spoke unto Naboth the Jezreelite, and said unto him: Give me thy vineyard for money; or else, if it please thee, I will give thee another vineyard for it; and he answered: I will not give thee my vineyard.'
Nodwoke niya, “Nikech nawacho ni Naboth ja-Jezreel ni, ‘Yie iusna puothi mar mzabibu; to ka ok kamano, to anyalo miyi puoth mzabibu machielo kare.’ En to nodwoke ni, ‘Ok anamiyi puotha mar mzabibu.’”
7 And Jezebel his wife said unto him: 'Dost thou now govern the kingdom of Israel? arise, and eat bread, and let thy heart be merry; I will give thee the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite.'
Jezebel jaode to nowachone niya, “Bende e kaka onego itimri to in e ruoth mar Israel? Aa malo kendo ichiem! Bed mamor. Abiro miyi puoth mzabibu mar Naboth ja-Jezreel.”
8 So she wrote letters in Ahab's name, and sealed them with his seal, and sent the letters unto the elders and to the nobles that were in his city, and that dwelt with Naboth.
Omiyo nondiko barupe kotiyo gi nying Ahab moketo kido mar ruoth kuomgi kendo mi oorgi ir jodongo kod joka ruoth mane odak kode e dala maduongʼ mar Naboth.
9 And she wrote in the letters, saying: 'Proclaim a fast, and set Naboth at the head of the people;
E barupego nondikoe kama: “Luonguru odiechieng tweyo chiemo kendo keturu Naboth obed piny e nyim ji kama oyiedhi.
10 and set two men, base fellows, before him, and let them bear witness against him, saying: Thou didst curse God and the king. And then carry him out, and stone him, that he die.'
To keturu joma timbegi mono ariyo momanyore kode kendo ketgiuru mondo gihangne wach ni osekwongʼo Nyasaye kod ruoth. Eka ugole oko kendo uchiele gi kite nyaka otho.”
11 And the men of his city, even the elders and the nobles who dwelt in his city, did as Jezebel had sent unto them, according as it was written in the letters which she had sent unto them.
Omiyo jodongo kod joka ruoth mane odak e dala maduongʼ mar Naboth notimo kaka Jezebel nochikogi e barupego mane osendikonigi.
12 They proclaimed a fast, and set Naboth at the head of the people.
Negilando chiengʼ tweyo chiemo kendo negiketo Naboth obet piny e nyim ji kama oyiedhi.
13 And the two men, the base fellows, came in and sat before him; and the base fellows bore witness against him, even against Naboth, in the presence of the people, saying: 'Naboth did curse God and the king.' Then they carried him forth out of the city, and stoned him with stones, that he died.
Eka ji ariyo ma timbegi mono nobiro mobedo momanyore kode e nyim ji, mohangone wach kawacho niya, “Naboth osekwongʼo Nyasaye gi ruoth.” Omiyo ne gigole oko mar dala mi gigoye gi kite ma otho.
14 Then they sent to Jezebel, saying: 'Naboth is stoned, and is dead.'
Eka negioro ni Jezebel wach kama, “Naboth osego gi kite motho.”
15 And it came to pass, when Jezebel heard that Naboth was stoned, and was dead, that Jezebel said to Ahab: 'Arise, take possession of the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite, which he refused to give thee for money; for Naboth is not alive, but dead.'
Mapiyo piyo ka Jezebel nowinjo ni Naboth osego gi kite motho, nonyiso Ahab niya, “Aa malo mondo ikaw puoth mzabibu mar Naboth ja-Jezreel, mane odagi usoni, ok ongima, osetho.”
16 And it came to pass, when Ahab heard that Naboth was dead, that Ahab rose up to go down to the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite, to take possession of it.
Kane Ahab owinjo ni Naboth osetho, noa malo modhi mondo okaw puoth Naboth mar mzabibu obed mare.
17 And the word of the LORD came to Elijah the Tishbite, saying:
Eka wach Jehova Nyasaye nobiro ni Elija ja-Tishbi:
18 'Arise, go down to meet Ahab king of Israel, who dwelleth in Samaria; behold, he is in the vineyard of Naboth, whither he is gone down to take possession of it.
“Dhiyo mondo irom gi Ahab ruodh Israel molocho Samaria. Koro entie e puoth Naboth mar mzabibu mosedhiye mondo okaw obed mare.
19 And thou shalt speak unto him, saying: Thus saith the LORD: Hast thou killed, and also taken possessions? and thou shalt speak unto him, saying: Thus saith the LORD: In the place where dogs licked the blood of Naboth shall dogs lick thy blood, even thine.'
Nyise kama, ‘Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye wacho, Donge isenego ngʼato kendo mikawo mwandune?’ Wachne kendo ni, ‘Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye wacho, Kama guogi nonangʼoe remb Naboth, bende e kama guogi biro nangʼoe rembi in iwuon, ee, mana in!’”
20 And Ahab said to Elijah: 'Hast thou found me, O mine enemy?' And he answered: 'I have found thee; because thou hast given thyself over to do that which is evil in the sight of the LORD.
Ahab nowacho ni Elija niya, “Kamano iseyuda in jasika!” To Elija nodwoke niya, “Ee, aseyudi nikech isechiwori mar timo richo e nyim Jehova Nyasaye.
21 Behold, I will bring evil upon thee, and will utterly sweep thee away, and will cut off from Ahab every man-child, and him that is shut up and him that is left at large in Israel.
Abiro kelo masira kuomi. Abiro tieko nyikwayi kendo abiro ngʼado oko nyathi moro amora ma wuowi ma chogo moa dhood Ahab e piny Israel; bed ni gin wasumbini kata ok gin wasumbini.
22 And I will make thy house like the house of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, and like the house of Baasa the son of Ahijah, for the provocation wherewith thou hast provoked Me, and hast made Israel to sin.
Abiro loko odi kaka mar Jeroboam wuod Nebat gi kaka mar Baasha wuod Ahija nikech isemiya mirima kendo isemiyo Israel otimo richo.”
23 And of Jezebel also spoke the LORD, saying: The dogs shall eat Jezebel in the moat of Jezreel.
Kendo kuom Jezebel Jehova Nyasaye nowacho kama, guogi biro kidho Jezebel e tie ohinga mar Jezreel.
24 Him that dieth of Ahab in the city the dogs shall eat; and him that dieth in the field shall the fowls of the air eat.'
“Guogi biro chamo joka Ahab motho e mier madongo kendo winy mae kor polo biro chamo mago motho e pewe.”
25 But there was none like unto Ahab, who did give himself over to do that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, whom Jezebel his wife stirred up.
Ne onge ngʼat moro machielo machalo gi Ahab, mane ochiwore ni timo richo e nyim Jehova Nyasaye, kijiwe e timo kamano gi jaode Jezebel.
26 And he did very abominably in following idols, according to all that the Amorites did, whom the LORD cast out before the children of Israel.
Timbene ne richoe moloyo koluwo bangʼ nyiseche mamoko, mana kaka jo-Amor mane Jehova Nyasaye oriembo e nyim jo-Israel.
27 And it came to pass, when Ahab heard those words, that he rent his clothes, and put sackcloth upon his flesh, and fasted, and lay in sackcloth, and went softy.
Kane Ahab owinjo wechegi duto, noyiecho lepe, morwako lep gunia kendo notweyo chiemo. Nonindo gi lepe mag guniago kendo nowuotho kokuyo.
28 And the word of the LORD came to Elijah the Tishbite, saying:
Eka wach Jehova Nyasaye nobiro ni Elija ja-Tishbi, kawacho niya,
29 'Seest thou how Ahab humbleth himself before Me? because he humbleth himself before Me, I will not bring the evil in his days; but in his son's days will I bring the evil upon his house.'
“Bende isefwenyo kaka sani Ahab osebolore e nyima? Nikech osebolore, ok anakel masirani e ndalone, to abiro kele e ode e kinde mag wuode.”
