1 Samuel 20
1 And David fled from Naioth in Ramah, and came and said before Jonathan, What have I done? what is mine iniquity? and what is my sin before your father, that he seeks my life?
Eka Daudi noringo koa Nayoth e gwengʼ Rama mine odhi ir Jonathan mopenje niya, “Angʼo masetimo? Ere kethona? Rach mane ma asetimo ne wuonu, momiyo odwaro kawo ngimana?”
2 And he said unto him, God forbid; you shall not die: behold, my father will do nothing either great or small, but that he will show it me: and why should my father hide this thing from me? it is not so.
Jonathan nodwoke niya, “Onge. Ok ibi tho! Winji, wuonwa ok tim gimoro amora, bedni oduongʼ kata otin, ma ok onyisa. Angʼo madimi opandna wachni? Ok en kamano!”
3 And David swore moreover, and said, Your father certainly knows that I have found grace in your eyes; and he says, Let not Jonathan know this, lest he be grieved: but truly as the LORD lives, and as your soul lives, there is but a step between me and death.
Daudi to nowacho ka kwongʼore niya, “Wuoru ongʼeyo malongʼo kaka igena mi osewacho e chunye ni, ‘Jonathan ok onego ngʼe wachni nikech chunye nyalo bedo gi lit.’ Kata kamano akwongʼora gi nying Jehova Nyasaye mangima to gi nyingi ni kinda gi tho odongʼ mana ondamo achiel.”
4 Then said Jonathan unto David, Whatsoever your soul desires, I will even do it for you.
Jonathan nowacho ni Daudi niya, “Gimoro amora midwaro ni atim abiro timoni.”
5 And David said unto Jonathan, Behold, tomorrow is the new moon, and I should not fail to sit with the king at food: but let me go, that I may hide myself in the field unto the third day at even.
Omiyo Daudi nowacho niya, “Winji, kiny en Sawo mar Dwe manyien kendo nitie budho ma onego bed ni achiemo gi ruoth, to we adhi apondi oko nyaka chop odhiambo mar orucha.
6 If your father at all miss me, then say, David earnestly asked leave of me that he might run to Bethlehem his city: for there is a yearly sacrifice there for all the family.
Ka wuonu ok onena e nyasini, to nyise ni, ‘Daudi nokwaya mondo amiye thuolo odhi dalagi Bethlehem mapiyo piyo, nikech anywolagi duto nigi misango mar higa ka higa.’
7 If he say thus, It is well; your servant shall have peace: but if he be very angry, then be sure that evil is determined by him.
Ka owacho ni, ‘Mano ber,’ eka anabed gi adieri ni jatichni nigi kwe. To ka mirima omake, to ibiro bedo gi adiera ni oseketo chunye ni nyaka to onega.
8 Therefore you shall deal kindly with your servant; for you have brought your servant into a covenant of the LORD with you: notwithstanding, if there be in me iniquity, slay me yourself; for why should you bring me to your father?
In to koro bed ja-adiera ne jatichni, nikech isekwongʼori kode e nyim Jehova Nyasaye. To ka an jaketho to nega in iwuon! Angʼo ma dimi iketa e lwet wuonu?”
9 And Jonathan said, Far be it from you: for if I knew certainly that evil were determined by my father to come upon you, then would not I tell it you?
Jonathan nowachone niya, “Mano ok nyal timore! Ka dine angʼeyo kata mana matin ni wuora dwaro timoni marach, donge danyisi?”
10 Then said David to Jonathan, Who shall tell me? or what if your father answer you roughly?
Daudi nopenje niya, “Ngʼa mabiro wachona ka wuonu odwoki gi gero?”
11 And Jonathan said unto David, Come, and let us go out into the field. And they went out both of them into the field.
Jonathan nowacho niya, “Bi wadhi kuma opondo.” Omiyo negidhi giduto.
12 And Jonathan said unto David, O LORD God of Israel, when I have sounded my father about tomorrow any time, or the third day, and, behold, if there be good toward David, and I then send not unto you, and show it you;
Eka Jonathan nowachone Daudi niya, “Gi nying Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasach Israel, abiro wuoyo gi wuora e sa maka ma orucha! Ka en gi paro maber kuomi, to donge abiro anyisi?
13 The LORD do so and much more to Jonathan: but if it please my father to do you evil, then I will show it you, and send you away, that you may go in peace: and the LORD be with you, as he has been with my father.
To ka wuora nigi chuny mar hinyi, to aweyo ma ok anyisi kendo konyi mondo itony idhi gi kwe, to mondo Jehova Nyasaye ochwada malit. Mad Jehova Nyasaye obed kodi mana kaka osebedo gi wuora.
14 And you shall not only while yet I live show me the kindness of the LORD, that I die not:
To yie itimna ngʼwono mana machal gi ngʼwono mosiko mar Jehova Nyasaye e ndalo duto mag ngimana, mondo kik nega,
15 But also you shall not cut off your kindness from my house for ever: no, not when the LORD has cut off the enemies of David every one from the face of the earth.
kendo kik iwe timo ngʼwono ni jooda kata mana ka Jehova Nyasaye osetieko wasik Daudi e wangʼ piny.”
16 So Jonathan made a covenant with the house of David, saying, Let the LORD even require it at the hand of David's enemies.
Omiyo Jonathan nokwongʼore gi joka Daudi, kowacho niya, “Mad Jehova Nyasaye mondo ongʼad bura ne wasik Daudi.”
17 And Jonathan caused David to swear again, because he loved him: for he loved him as he loved his own soul.
Omiyo Jonathan noketo Daudi mochako ojiwo kwongʼruokne nikech nohere, nimar nohere mana kaka oherore owuon.
18 Then Jonathan said to David, Tomorrow is the new moon: and you shall be missed, because your seat will be empty.
Eka Jonathan nowachone Daudi niya, “Kiny en Sawo mar dwe manyien kendo kiny nongʼere ni ionge nikech komi nobed nono.
19 And when you have stayed three days, then you shall go down quickly, and come to the place where you did hide yourself when the business was in hand, and shall remain by the stone Ezel.
To kochopo orucha kar odhiambo kanyo to idhi kama ne ipondoe mokwongo ka wechegi nochakore kendo irit but kit Ezel.
20 And I will shoot three arrows on the side thereof, as though I shot at a mark.
Abiro diro aserni adek e bathe kanyo, ka gima atemo lengʼo gimoro.
21 And, behold, I will send a lad, saying, Go, find out the arrows. If I expressly say unto the lad, Behold, the arrows are on this side of you, take them; then come you: for there is peace to you, and no hurt; as the LORD lives.
Eka abiro oro rawera kawachone ni, ‘Dhi idwar aserni.’ To kawachone ni, ‘Ne, aserni ni e bathi koni; kelgi ka, eka ibi, nikech akwongʼora gi nying Jehova Nyasaye mangima ni onge gima biro hinyi kendo onge gima rach.’
22 But if I say thus unto the young man, Behold, the arrows are beyond you; go your way: for the LORD has sent you away.
To ka awachone rawera ni, ‘Ne, aserni ni nyimi,’ eka nyaka idhi nikech Jehova Nyasaye dwaro ni idhi adhiya.
23 And as concerning the matter which you and I have spoken of, behold, the LORD be between you and me for ever.
To kuom weche mawasewuoyoe to ipar, nimar Jehova Nyasaye en janeno e kindwa nyaka chiengʼ.”
24 So David hid himself in the field: and when the new moon was come, the king sat him down to eat food.
Omiyo Daudi nopondo oko kendo kane Sawo mar Dwe manyien ochopo, to ruoth nobet piny mondo ochiem.
25 And the king sat upon his seat, as at other times, even upon a seat by the wall: and Jonathan arose, and Abner sat by Saul's side, and David's place was empty.
Nobet kare mane ojabetie but kor ot, ka gimanyore gi Jonathan, Abner to nobet bath Saulo, kom Daudi to ne ninono.
26 Nevertheless Saul spoke not any thing that day: for he thought, Something has befallen him, he is not clean; surely he is not clean.
Saulo ne ok owacho gimoro chiengʼno, nikech noparo e chunye niya, “Nyaka bed ni Daudi osetimo gimoro marach, omiyo ok oler adiera emomiyo ok obiro e nyasi.”
27 And it came to pass on the next day, which was the second day of the month, that David's place was empty: and Saul said unto Jonathan his son, Wherefore comes not the son of Jesse to food, neither yesterday, nor to day?
To kata mana kinyne, ma en chiengʼ mar ariyo mar dwe, kom Daudi ne pod ninono. Eka Saulo nowachone Jonathan wuode niya, “Angʼo momiyo wuod Jesse ok obiro e chiemo, chakre nyoro nyaka kawuono?”
28 And Jonathan answered Saul, David earnestly asked leave of me to go to Bethlehem:
Jonathan nodwoko niya, “Daudi nohomba kokwaya thuolo mondo odhi Bethlehem.”
29 And he said, Let me go, I pray you; for our family has a sacrifice in the city; and my brother, he has commanded me to be there: and now, if I have found favour in your eyes, let me get away, I pray you, and see my brethren. Therefore he comes not unto the king's table.
Nokwayo niya, “Yiena mondo adhi nikech joodwa timo misango e dala kendo owadwa nochika matek ni nyaka achop kuno. Koro akwayi ni yie ingʼwon-na mondo adhi ane owetena. Mano ema omiyo ok osebiro e mesa ruoth.”
30 Then Saul's anger was kindled against Jonathan, and he said unto him, You son of the perverse rebellious woman, do not I know that you have chosen the son of Jesse to your own confusion, and unto the confusion of your mother's nakedness?
Saulo notoyo mirimbe kuom Jonathan mowachone niya, “In wuod dhako ma wiye tek kendo ma ja-mahundu! Donge angʼeyo ni isebedo jakor wuod Jesse makelo wichkuot ne in iwuon kendo ne minu monywoli?
31 For as long as the son of Jesse lives upon the ground, you shall not be established, nor your kingdom. Wherefore now send and fetch him unto me, for he shall surely die.
Ka wuod Jesse pod ngima e pinyni to in kata pinyruodhi ok nyal gurore. Koro or wach mondo okelnago nikech nyaka otho!”
32 And Jonathan answered Saul his father, and said unto him, Wherefore shall he be slain? what has he done?
Jonathan nopenjo wuon-gi niya, “Angʼo momiyo nyaka otho? Angʼo mosetimo?”
33 And Saul cast a javelin at him to strike him: whereby Jonathan knew that it was determined of his father to slay David.
To Saulo nobaye gi tongʼ mondo onege. Eka Jonathan nongʼeyo ni kare wuon-gi dwaro nego Daudi.
34 So Jonathan arose from the table in fierce anger, and did eat no food the second day of the month: for he was grieved for David, because his father had done him shame.
Jonathan nochungʼ moa e mesa ka mirima mager omake chiengʼ mar ariyo mar dwe mane ok ochiemo, nikech chunye ne lit kod timbe wuon-gi mag wichkuot mane otimone Daudi.
35 And it came to pass in the morning, that Jonathan went out into the field at the time appointed with David, and a little lad with him.
Kinyne gokinyi Jonathan nodhi oko e kargi mar romo gi Daudi. Ne en-gi wuowi matin,
36 And he said unto his lad, Run, find out now the arrows which I shoot. And as the lad ran, he shot an arrow beyond him.
kendo nowachone wuowino niya, “Ringi mondo idwar aserni madirogi.” E sa ma wuowino ne ringo, nodiro asere mokadhe.
37 And when the lad was come to the place of the arrow which Jonathan had shot, Jonathan cried after the lad, and said, Is not the arrow beyond you?
Ka wuowino nochopo kama asech Jonathan ne olwarie, Jonathan noluonge gi dwol maduongʼ niya, “Donge asere ni nyimi kanyo?”
38 And Jonathan cried after the lad, Make speed, haste, stay not. And Jonathan's lad gathered up the arrows, and came to his master.
Eka nokok kowacho niya, “Reti! Dhi piyo! Kik ichungʼ!” Wuowino nokwanyo asereno mi odok ir ruodhe.
39 But the lad knew not any thing: only Jonathan and David knew the matter.
Wuowino ne ok ongʼeyo gimoro amora mane timore, makmana Jonathan gi Daudi kende ema nongʼeyo.
40 And Jonathan gave his artillery unto his lad, and said unto him, Go, carry them to the city.
Eka Jonathan nomiyo wuowino gige mag lweny mowachone niya, “Dhiyo idwokgi dala.”
41 And as soon as the lad was gone, David arose out of a place toward the south, and fell on his face to the ground, and bowed himself three times: and they kissed one another, and wept one with another, until David exceeded.
Bangʼ ka wuowino nosedhi, Daudi nowuok yo milambo mar dir kidi, mi okulore piny e nyim Jonathan nyadidek ka lend wangʼe mulo piny. Eka ne gimosore ma giywak giduto to Daudi noywak moloyo.
42 And Jonathan said to David, Go in peace, forasmuch as we have sworn both of us in the name of the LORD, saying, The LORD be between me and you, and between my seed and your seed for ever. And he arose and departed: and Jonathan went into the city.
Jonathan nowachone Daudi niya, “Dhi gi kwe nimar wasesingore e nyim Jehova Nyasaye ni osiep man e kindwa kodi ka wakwongʼore niya, Jehova Nyasaye obed janeno e kindi koda kendo e kind nyikwayi kod nyikwaya nyaka chiengʼ” Eka Daudi nowuok to Jonathan bende nodok dala.
