1 Samuel 26
1 And the Ziphites came unto Saul to Gibeah, saying, Doth not David hide himself in the hill of Hachilah, [which is] before Jeshimon?
Jo-Zif nodhi Gibea ir Saulo ma giwachone niya, “Donge Daudi opondo ewi got Hakila momanyore gi Jeshimon?”
2 Then Saul arose, and went down to the wilderness of Ziph, having three thousand chosen men of Israel with him, to seek David in the wilderness of Ziph.
Eka Saulo nodhi mwalo e piny motimo ongoro e Zif, nodhi gi joge alufu adek, jo-Israel moyier, mondo odwar Daudi kuno.
3 And Saul pitched in the hill of Hachilah, which [is] before Jeshimon, by the way. But David abode in the wilderness, and he saw that Saul came after him into the wilderness.
Saulo noloso kambine but yo man e got Hakila momanyore gi Jeshimon, Daudi to ni kama otwo ma otimo ongoro. Kane oneno ni Saulo noseluwe kuno,
4 David therefore sent out spies, and understood that Saul was come in very deed.
ne ooro jombetre mane ongʼeyo ratiro ni Saulo nosechopo.
5 And David arose, and came to the place where Saul had pitched: and David beheld the place where Saul lay, and Abner the son of Ner, the captain of his host: and Saul lay in the trench, and the people pitched round about him.
Eka Daudi nowuok modhi kuma Saulo nojotie. Noneno kama Saulo gi Abner wuod Ner ma jatend jolwenje, noyudo osenindoe. Saulo ne nindo ei kambi, ka jolweny olwore.
6 Then answered David and said to Ahimelech the Hittite, and to Abishai the son of Zeruiah, brother to Joab, saying, Who will go down with me to Saul to the camp? And Abishai said, I will go down with thee.
Daudi nopenjo Ahimelek ja-Hiti gi Abishai wuod Zeruya, mowadgi Joab niya, “Ngʼama biro dhi koda mwalo e kambi ir Saulo?” Abishai nowacho niya, “Abiro dhi kodi.”
7 So David and Abishai came to the people by night: and, behold, Saul lay sleeping within the trench, and his spear stuck in the ground at his bolster: but Abner and the people lay round about him.
Daudi gi Abishai nodhi ir jolweny gotieno, Saulo nonindo kanyo e kambi kochwoyo tonge piny yo ka wiye. Abner gi jolweny nonindo kolwore.
8 Then said Abishai to David, God hath delivered thine enemy into thine hand this day: now therefore let me smite him, I pray thee, with the spear even to the earth at once, and I will not [smite] him the second time.
Abishai nowachone Daudi niya, “Kawuono Nyasaye oseketo jasiki e lweti. Koro yiena mondo achwowe dichiel gi tonga; ok abi chwowe diriyo.”
9 And David said to Abishai, Destroy him not: for who can stretch forth his hand against the LORD’s anointed, and be guiltless?
To Daudi nowachone Abishai niya, “Kik inege! En ngʼa manyalo keto lwete kuom ngʼat Jehova Nyasaye mowir ma ok oket ne bura?”
10 David said furthermore, [As] the LORD liveth, the LORD shall smite him; or his day shall come to die; or he shall descend into battle, and perish.
Nowacho niya, “Akwongʼora gi nying Jehova Nyasaye mangima, ni Jehova Nyasaye owuon ema nonege; kata ndalone chiengʼ moro nochopi mi otho kata nodhi e lweny mi notho kuno.
11 The LORD forbid that I should stretch forth mine hand against the LORD’s anointed: but, I pray thee, take thou now the spear that [is] at his bolster, and the cruse of water, and let us go.
To Jehova Nyasaye ok diyiena ni mondo ater lweta kuom ngʼat Jehova Nyasaye mowir. Koro kaw tongʼ gi puga mar pi machiegni gi wiye kaeto wadhi.”
12 So David took the spear and the cruse of water from Saul’s bolster; and they gat them away, and no man saw [it], nor knew [it], neither awaked: for they [were] all asleep; because a deep sleep from the LORD was fallen upon them.
Omiyo Daudi nokawo tongʼ kod puga mar pi mane nitie machiegni gi wi Saulo kendo negidhi. Onge ngʼama nonenogi kata mane ongʼeyo wachno, bende onge ngʼama ne ochiewo. Giduto ne ginindo, nikech Jehova Nyasaye nomiyogi nindo matut.
13 Then David went over to the other side, and stood on the top of an hill afar off; a great space [being] between them:
Eka Daudi nongʼado modhi loka machielo mochungʼ ewi got kuma bor; ne odhi mochwalore kodgi; ne nitie thuolo malach e kindgi.
14 And David cried to the people, and to Abner the son of Ner, saying, Answerest thou not, Abner? Then Abner answered and said, Who [art] thou [that] criest to the king?
Nopenjo jolweny kod Abner wuod Ner niya, “Bende unyalo dwoka, Abner?” Abner nodwoke niya, “In ngʼa maluongo ruoth?”
15 And David said to Abner, [Art] not thou a [valiant] man? and who [is] like to thee in Israel? wherefore then hast thou not kept thy lord the king? for there came one of the people in to destroy the king thy lord.
Daudi nopenjo Abner niya, “Donge in ngʼama dichwo? To ere ngʼama chal kodi e Israel? Angʼo momiyo ne ok irito ruodhi ma en ruoth? Ngʼato nobiro mondo oneg ruodhi ma ruoth.
16 This thing [is] not good that thou hast done. [As] the LORD liveth, ye [are] worthy to die, because ye have not kept your master, the LORD’s anointed. And now see where the king’s spear [is], and the cruse of water that [was] at his bolster.
Gima isetimo ok ber. Akwongʼora gi nying Jehova Nyasaye mangima ni in kod jogi uwinjoru gi tho, nikech ne ok urito ruodhu ma ngʼat Jehova Nyasaye mowir. Ranguru anena, ere tongʼ mar ruoth gi puga mar pi mane nitiere machiegni gi wiye?”
17 And Saul knew David’s voice, and said, [Is] this thy voice, my son David? And David said, [It is] my voice, my lord, O king.
Saulo nochamo dwond Daudi mowacho niya, “Mano en dwondi Daudi wuoda?” Daudi nodwoke niya, “Ee mano dwonda ruodha ma ruoth.”
18 And he said, Wherefore doth my lord thus pursue after his servant? for what have I done? or what evil [is] in mine hand?
Kendo nomedo wacho niya, “Angʼo momiyo ruodha lawo jatichne? Angʼo masetimo, rach mane madimi abed jaketho?
19 Now therefore, I pray thee, let my lord the king hear the words of his servant. If the LORD have stirred thee up against me, let him accept an offering: but if [they be] the children of men, cursed [be] they before the LORD; for they have driven me out this day from abiding in the inheritance of the LORD, saying, Go, serve other gods.
Koro ruoth ma ruodha oyie owinj weche ma jatije wacho. Ka diponi Jehova Nyasaye ema thuya kodi, to madoyie okaw misango. To ka dipo ni ji ema timo mano to mondo okwongʼ-gi e nyim Jehova Nyasaye! Koro giseriemba mondo kik ayud girkeni ma Jehova Nyasaye omiya kagiwacho ni, ‘Dhi iti ne nyiseche mamoko.’
20 Now therefore, let not my blood fall to the earth before the face of the LORD: for the king of Israel is come out to seek a flea, as when one doth hunt a partridge in the mountains.
Koro yie mondo remba kik oo piny kuma bor gi kama Jehova Nyasaye nitie. Ruodh Israel osewuok mondo odwar kikun mana kaka ngʼato dwaro winyo e gode.”
21 Then said Saul, I have sinned: return, my son David: for I will no more do thee harm, because my soul was precious in thine eyes this day: behold, I have played the fool, and have erred exceedingly.
Eka Saulo nowacho niya, “Asetimo marach, omiyo duogi, Daudi wuoda. Nikech ne ineno ni ngimana ber kendo owinjore bedie kawuono. Ok nachak atem mondo ahinyi kendo. Adieri asetimo tim ngʼat mofuwo kendo aseketho marach.”
22 And David answered and said, Behold the king’s spear! and let one of the young men come over and fetch it.
Daudi nodwoko niya, “Tongʼ mar ruoth eri ni ka. Or achiel kuom yawuowi obi oome.
23 The LORD render to every man his righteousness and his faithfulness: for the LORD delivered thee into [my] hand to day, but I would not stretch forth mine hand against the LORD’s anointed.
To Jehova Nyasaye chiwo pok ne ngʼato ka ngʼato moromore gi ratiche gi timne makare. Kawuono Jehova Nyasaye nochiwi e lweta to ne ok anyal keto lweta kuom ngʼat Jehova Nyasaye mowir.
24 And, behold, as thy life was much set by this day in mine eyes, so let my life be much set by in the eyes of the LORD, and let him deliver me out of all tribulation.
Mana kaka ngimani nelongʼona kawuono, mad ngimana bende bed malongʼo ni Jehova Nyasaye mondo oresa e chandruok duto.”
25 Then Saul said to David, Blessed [be] thou, my son David: thou shalt both do great [things], and also shalt still prevail. So David went on his way, and Saul returned to his place.
Eka Saulo nowachone Daudi niya, “Mad gwedhi wuoda Daudi; ibiro timo gik madongo adieri inilochi.” Bangʼ mano Daudi nodhi yore, to Saulo nodok dala.
