1 Samuel 24
1 And it came to pass, when Saul was returned from following the Philistines, that it was told him, saying: 'Behold, David is in the wilderness of En-gedi.'
Bangʼ ka Saulo nosea lawo jo-Filistia, nowachne niya, “Daudi nitie e Thim En Gedi.”
2 Then Saul took three thousand chosen men out of all Israel, and went to seek David and his men upon the rocks of the wild goats.
Omiyo Saulo nokawo ji alufu adek; ji moyier kowuok e Israel duto, eka noikore mowuok kodhi dwaro Daudi gi joge but Rogo ma Nyakech pondoe.
3 And he came to the sheepcotes by the way, where was a cave; and Saul went in to cover his feet. Now David and his men were sitting in the innermost parts of the cave.
Nobiro e abila mar rombe man but yo; to kanyo ne nitie rogo, to Saulo nodonjo e rogono mondo olosre. Daudi gi joge bende ne osedonjo ei rogono.
4 And the men of David said unto him: 'Behold the day in which the LORD hath said unto thee: Behold, I will deliver thine enemy into thy hand, and thou shalt do to him as it shall seem good unto thee.' Then David arose, and cut off the skirt of Saul's robe privily.
Jogo nowacho niya, “Ma e odiechiengʼ ma Jehova Nyasaye nowuoyo kuome kowacho ni, ‘Abiro keto jowasiki e lweti mondo itimne kaka idwaro!’” Eka Daudi nosudo lingʼ-lingʼ mongʼado riak law Saulo.
5 And it came to pass afterward, that David's heart smote him, because he had cut off Saul's skirt.
Bangʼe chuny Daudi nochandore nikech nosengʼado riak law Saulo.
6 And he said unto his men: 'The LORD forbid it me, that I should do this thing unto my lord, the LORD'S anointed, to put forth my hand against him, seeing he is the LORD'S anointed.'
Nowachone joge niya, “Jehova Nyasaye ok oyie mondo atim gima kamano ni ruodha, ngʼat Jehova Nyasaye mowir, kata tingʼo lweta mondo ahinye; nikech en ngʼat mowir ma Jehova Nyasaye oyiero.”
7 So David checked his men with these words, and suffered them not to rise against Saul. And Saul rose up out of the cave, and went on his way.
Kamano Daudi nokwero joge kendo ne ok oyienegi mondo gitug dhawo gi Saulo. Omiyo Saulo nowuok e rogo modhi e yore.
8 David also arose afterward, and went out of the cave, and cried after Saul, saying: 'My lord the king.' And when Saul looked behind him, David bowed with his face to the earth, and prostrated himself.
Eka Daudi nowuok oko mar rogo mi oluongo Saulo, “Ruodha ma ruoth!” Kane Saulo ongʼiyo chien, Daudi nokulore piny monindo auma ka wangʼe ochiko piny.
9 And David said to Saul: 'Wherefore hearkenest thou to men's words, saying: Behold, David seeketh thy hurt?
Nowachone Saulo niya, “Angʼo momiyo ichiko iti ka ji wachoni ni, ‘Daudi dwaro hinyi’?
10 Behold, this day thine eyes have seen how that the LORD had delivered thee to-day into my hand in the cave; and some bade me kill thee; but mine eye spared thee; and I said: I will not put forth my hand against my lord; for he is the LORD'S anointed.
Kawuononi iseneno gi wangʼi kaka Jehova Nyasaye ne oketi e lweta ei rogo. Jomoko ne owachona ni anegi, to ne aweyi; mi awacho ni, ‘Ok natingʼ lweta mar hinyo ruodha nikech en ngʼat Jehova Nyasaye mowir.’
11 Moreover, my father, see, yea, see the skirt of thy robe in my hand; for in that I cut off the skirt of thy robe, and killed thee not, know thou and see that there is neither evil nor transgression in my hand, and I have not sinned against thee, though thou layest wait for my soul to take it.
Ne, wuora, ngʼi ine riak lawi ma an-go e lweta! Ne angʼade e riak lawi to ne ok anegi. Sani koro inyalo neno kendo fwenyo ni aonge gi paro mar timoni marach kata ngʼanyoni. Pok akethoni to in to ilawa mondo inega.
12 The LORD judge between me and thee, and the LORD avenge me of thee; but my hand shall not be upon thee.
Mad Jehova Nyasaye ngʼad bura e kinda kodi. Mad Jehova Nyasaye chul kuor kuom gik maricho misetimona, an to lweta ok nomuli.
13 As saith the proverb of the ancients: Out of the wicked cometh forth wickedness; but my hand shall not be upon thee.
Mana kaka ngero machon wacho ni, ‘Joma timo timbe maricho ema timbe maricho wuok kuomgi’ omiyo ok abi keto lweta kuomi.
14 After whom is the king of Israel come out? after whom dost thou pursue? after a dead dog, after a flea.
“En ngʼama ruodh Israel dwaro mondo onegi? Ilawo ngʼa? Guok motho koso kikun?
15 The LORD therefore be judge, and give sentence between me and thee, and see, and plead my cause, and deliver me out of thy hand.'
Mad Jehova Nyasaye bed jangʼad buchwa mondo opog wach e kindwa. Mad onon wach makare kendo otingʼa malo; mad ochwaka kendo oresa e lweti.”
16 And it came to pass, when David had made an end of speaking these words unto Saul, that Saul said: 'Is this thy voice, my son David?' And Saul lifted up his voice, and wept.
Kane Daudi otieko wuoyo, Saulo nopenjo niya, “Mano en dwondi Daudi wuoda?” Eka noywak matek.
17 And he said to David: 'Thou art more righteous than I; for thou hast rendered unto me good, whereas I have rendered unto thee evil.
Eka nowachone Daudi niya, “In ngʼama kare maloya. Isetimona maber, an to asetimoni marach.
18 And thou hast declared this day how that thou hast dealt well with me; forasmuch as when the LORD had delivered me up into thy hand, thou didst not kill me.
Koroni eka isewachona tim maber misetimona; Jehova Nyasaye noketa e lweti to ne ok inega.
19 For if a man find his enemy, will he let him go well away? wherefore the LORD reward thee good for that which thou hast done unto me this day.
Ka ngʼato onwangʼo jasike, bende oweye odhi ma ok ohinye? Mad Jehova Nyasaye chuli mathoth kuom gima itimona kawuononi.
20 And now, behold, I know that thou shalt surely be king, and that the kingdom of Israel shall be established in thy hand.
Angʼeyo ni adieri ibiro bet ruoth kendo pinyruodh Israel nodhi nyime maber e bwo lochni.
21 Swear now therefore unto me by the LORD, that thou wilt not cut off my seed after me, and that thou wilt not destroy my name out of my father's house.'
Koro singrina gi nying Jehova Nyasaye ni ok ningʼad nyikwaya kata rucho nyinga oko e od wuora.”
22 And David swore unto Saul. And Saul went home; but David and his men got them up unto the stronghold.
Omiyo Daudi nosingore ne Saulo. Eka Saulo nodok dala, to Daudi gi joge nodhi e kargi mar pondo.
