1 Samuel 23
1 And they told David, saying: 'Behold, the Philistines are fighting against Keilah, and they rob the threshing-floors.'
Kane owach ne Daudi niya, “Ne jo-Filistia kedo gi jo-Keila kendo giyako gik man e laru mar dino cham,”
2 Therefore David inquired of the LORD, saying: 'Shall I go and smite these Philistines?' And the LORD said unto David: 'Go, and smite the Philistines, and save Keilah.'
nopenjo Jehova Nyasaye niya, “Bende owinjore adhi kendo amonj jo-Filistia-gi?” Jehova Nyasaye nodwoke niya, “Dhiyo, mondo imonj jo-Filistia kendo ires Keila.”
3 And David's men said unto him: 'Behold, we are afraid here in Judah; how much more then if we go to Keilah against the armies of the Philistines?'
To jo-Daudi nowachone niya, “Ka Juda ka ema waluorie. Dobednwa machalo nade ka wadhi Keila mondo waked gi jolweny mag Filistia!”
4 Then David inquired of the LORD yet again. And the LORD answered him and said: 'Arise, go down to Keilah; for I will deliver the Philistines into thy hand.'
Daudi nopenjo Jehova Nyasaye kendo mi Jehova Nyasaye nodwoke ne, “Lor idhi Keila nimar adhi chiwo jo-Filistia e lweti.”
5 And David and his men went to Keilah, and fought with the Philistines, and brought away their cattle, and slew them with a great slaughter. So David saved the inhabitants of Keilah.
Omiyo Daudi gi joge nodhi Keila, mokedo gi jo-Filistia kendo opeyo jambgi. Nonego jo-Filistia mangʼeny mine oreso jo-Keila.
6 And it came to pass, when Abiathar the son of Ahimelech fled to David to Keilah, that he came down with an ephod in his hand.
Koro Abiathar wuod Ahimelek nosebiro gi law mayom mar dolo miluongo ni efod e kinde mane oringo kodhi ir Daudi Keila.
7 And it was told Saul that David was come to Keilah. And Saul said: 'God hath delivered him into my hand; for he is shut in, by entering into a town that hath gates and bars.'
Nowach ne Saulo ni Daudi nosedhi Keila, omiyo nowacho niya, “Nyasaye osechiwe e lweta, nimar Daudi osetwere owuon ka odonjo e dala man-gi rangeye kod lodi.”
8 And Saul summoned all the people to war, to go down to Keilah, to besiege David and his men.
Omiyo Saulo noluongo joge duto makedo ne lweny, mondo gilor gidhi Keila kendo gigengʼ ne Daudi gi joge.
9 And David knew that Saul devised mischief against him; and he said to Abiathar the priest: 'Bring hither the ephod.'
Kane Daudi owinjo ni Saulo chano yor yude nowachone Abiathar jadolo niya, “Kel law akor mar law mayom mar dolo miluongo ni efod.”
10 Then said David: 'O LORD, the God of Israel, Thy servant hath surely heard that Saul seeketh to come to Keilah, to destroy the city for my sake.
Daudi nowacho niya, “Yaye Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasach Israel, jatichni osewinjo gadiera ni Saulo chano biro Keila mondo oketh dala nikech an.
11 Will the men of Keilah deliver me up into his hand? will Saul come down, as Thy servant hath heard?' O LORD, the God of Israel, I beseech Thee, tell Thy servant.' And the LORD said: 'He will come down.'
Bende jo-Keila nochiwane? To bende Saulo biro biro ka kaka jatichni osewinjo? Yaye Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasach Israel, nyis jatichni.” Eka Jehova Nyasaye nodwoko niya, “Obiro biro.”
12 Then said David: 'Will the men of Keilah deliver up me and my men into the hand of Saul?' And the LORD said: 'They will deliver thee up.'
Daudi nopenjo kendo niya, “Jo-Keila biro chiwa kaachiel gi joga ne Saulo.” To Jehova Nyasaye nowacho niya, “Gibiro timo kamano.”
13 Then David and his men, who were about six hundred, arose and departed out of Keilah, and went whithersoever they could go. And it was told Saul that David was escaped from Keilah; and he forbore to go forth.
Omiyo Daudi gi joge maromo mia auchiel, nowuok Keila mine giwuotho koni gi kocha ka gisiko gidar. Kane Saulo owinjo ni Daudi nosetony mowuok Keila ne ok odhi kuno.
14 And David abode in the wilderness in the strongholds, and remained in the hill-country in the wilderness of Ziph. And Saul sought him every day, but God delivered him not into his hand.
Daudi nodak e kuonde mag pondo manie thim kendo e gode mag Thim Zif; odiechiengʼ ka odiechiengʼ Saulo ne osiko ka dware, to Nyasaye ne ok oketo Daudi e lwete.
15 And David saw that Saul was come out to seek his life; and David was in the wilderness of Ziph in the wood.
Kane Daudi ni Horesh man e thim Zif noyudo wach ni Saulo nosewuok mondo otiek ngimane.
16 And Jonathan Saul's son arose, and went to David into the wood, and strengthened his hand in God.
To Jonathan wuod Saulo nodhi Horesh ir Daudi mokonye koduogo chunye mondo oyud teko moa kuom Nyasaye.
17 And he said unto him: 'Fear not; for the hand of Saul my father shall not find thee; and thou shalt be king over Israel, and I shall be next unto thee; and that also Saul my father knoweth.'
Nowacho niya, “Kik iluor. Saulo wuora ok bi timi gimoro. Ibiro bedo ruodh Israel, to an abiro bedo jalupni. Kata Saulo wuora ongʼeyo mano.”
18 And they two made a covenant before the LORD; and David abode in the wood, and Jonathan went to his house.
Kargi ji ariyogi negisingore e nyim Jehova Nyasaye. Eka Jonathan nodhi dala to Daudi to nodongʼ Horesh.
19 Then came up the Ziphites to Saul to Gibeah, saying: 'Doth not David hide himself with us in the strongholds in the wood, in the hill of Hachilah, which is on the south of Jeshimon?
Jo-Zif nodhi Gibea ir Saulo mi giwachone ne, “Donge Daudi opondo kuomwa e kuonde pondo Horesh ewi got Hakila, mantie yo milambo mar Jeshimon?
20 Now therefore, O king, come down, according to all the desire of thy soul to come down; and our part shall be to deliver him up into the king's hand.'
Koroni, yaye Ruoth, inyalo biro sa moro amora midwaro biroe, to obiro bedo wachwa mondo wachiwe ne ruoth.”
21 And Saul said: 'Blessed be ye of the LORD; for ye have had compassion on me.
Saulo nodwoko niya, “Jehova Nyasaye mondo ogwedhu kuom timona maber.
22 Go, I pray you, make yet more sure, and know and see his place where his haunt is, and who hath seen him there; for it is told me that he dealeth very subtly.
Dhiuru kendo umed ikoru. Nonuru mondo ungʼe kuma Daudi jadhiyoe kod ngʼat mosenene kuno. Gisenyisa ni en ngʼama yoreyore ahinya.
23 See therefore, and take knowledge of all the lurking-places where he hideth himself, and come ye back to me with the certainty, and I will go with you; and it shall come to pass, if he be in the land, that I will search him out among all the thousands of Judah.'
Nonuru konde duto mopondoe gi kuonde duto motiyogo, eka uduogna wach mobidhore. Bangʼe anadhi kodu; ka dipo ni en kanyo, to abiro dware e dhoudi duto mag Juda.”
24 And they arose, and went to Ziph before Saul; but David and his men were in the wilderness of Maon, in the Arabah on the south of Jeshimon.
Kuom mano ne giwuok mi gidhi Zif motelone Saulo. Daudi gi joge to ne ni e Thim Maon man Araba yo milambo mar Jeshimon.
25 And Saul and his men went to seek him. And they told David; wherefore he came down to the rock, and abode in the wilderness of Maon. And when Saul heard that, he pursued after David in the wilderness of Maon.
Saulo gi joge nochako dwero, ka nowach ne Daudi wachno, nolor mwalo e lwanda mi nobet e Thim man Maon. Kane Saulo owinjo ma, nodhi e Thim man Maon kolawo Daudi.
26 And Saul went on this side of the mountain, and David and his men on that side of the mountain; and David made haste to get away for fear of Saul; for Saul and his men compassed David and his men round about to take them.
Saulo ne dhi e bath got konchiel to Daudi gi joge ne ni e bathe kumachielo, ka giringo mondo gi yomb Saulo. Ka Saulo gi jolwenje ne chiegni juko Daudi gi joge mondo gimakgi,
27 But there came a messenger unto Saul, saying: 'Haste thee, and come; for the Philistines have made a raid upon the land.'
jaote nobiro ir Saulo, mowacho niya, “Bi piyo! Jo-Filistia osebiro monjo piny.”
28 So Saul returned from pursuing after David, and went against the Philistines; therefore they called that place Sela-hammahlekoth.
Eka Saulo noweyo lawo Daudi mi odhi rado gi jo-Filistia. Mano emomiyo iluongo kanyo ni Sela Hamalekoth.
29 And David went up from thence, and dwelt in the strongholds of En-gedi.
To Daudi nodhi malo koa kanyo modak e kuonde pondo mag En Gedi.
