1 Kings 21
1 And it came to pass after these events, that Naboth the Yizre'elite had a vineyard, which was in Yizre'el, near the palace of Achab the 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 Achab spoke unto Naboth, saying, Give me thy vineyard, that it may serve me for a herb-garden, because it is near unto my house; and I will give thee in its stead a vineyard better than it; [or, ] if it seem good in thy eyes, I will give thee the money, the value of the same.
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 Achab, Far be it from me before the Lord, 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 Achab came into his house low-spirited and displeased because of the word which Naboth the Yizre'elite had spoken to him, when he said, I will not give unto thee the inheritance of my fathers. And he laid himself down upon his bed, and turned away his face, and would eat no food.
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 Izebel his wife came to him, and spoke unto him, Why is thy spirit so sad! and why eatest thou no food?
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 Yizre'elite, and said unto him, Give me thy vineyard for money; or else, if it please thee, I will give thee a vineyard in its stead; but he hath said, I will not give unto 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 Then said unto him Izebel his wife, Dost thou now govern the kingdom of Israel? arise, eat bread, and let thy heart be merry: I will myself give thee the vineyard of Naboth the Yizre'elite.
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 Achab's name, and sealed them with his seal; and she sent the letters unto the elders and unto the nobles who were in his city, and who dwelt near 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 cause Naboth to sit 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 seat two men, worthless fellows, opposite to him, and let them bear witness against him, saying, Thou hast blasphemed God and the king; and then lead him forth, and stone him, that he may 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, the elders and the nobles, those who dwelt in his city, did as Izebel had sent unto them, as 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 caused Naboth to sit at the head of the people.
Negilando chiengʼ tweyo chiemo kendo negiketo Naboth obet piny e nyim ji kama oyiedhi.
13 And there came in two men, worthless fellows, and seated themselves opposite to him; and these worthless men testified against him, against Naboth, in the presence of the people, saying, Naboth hath blasphemed God and the king. Then they led 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 And they sent to Izebel, saying, Naboth hath been stoned, and is dead.
Eka negioro ni Jezebel wach kama, “Naboth osego gi kite motho.”
15 And it came to pass, when Izebel heard that Naboth had been stoned, and was dead, that Izebel said to Achab, Arise, take possession of the vineyard of Naboth the Yizre'elite, 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 Achab heard that Naboth was dead, that Achab rose up to go down to the vineyard of Naboth the Yizre'elite, 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 Achab the king of Israel, who is 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 hath said the Lord, Hast thou murdered, and also taken possession? And thou shalt speak unto him, saying, Thus hath said the Lord, In the place where the dogs licked the blood of Naboth shall the dogs lick thy blood, yes, thine also.
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 Achab said to Elijah, Hast thou found me, O my enemy? And he answered, I have found thee: because thou hast sold thyself to do what is evil in the eyes 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 I will sweep out after thee, and will cut off from Achab every male, and the guarded and fortified 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 Jerobo'am the son of Nebat, and like the house of Ba'sha the son of Achiyah, for the provocation wherewith thou hast provoked [me] to anger, and induced 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 also concerning Izebel hath the Lord spoken, saying, The dogs shall eat Izebel in the valley of Yizre'el.
Kendo kuom Jezebel Jehova Nyasaye nowacho kama, guogi biro kidho Jezebel e tie ohinga mar Jezreel.
24 Him that dieth of Achab in the city shall the dogs eat; and him that dieth in the field shall the fowls of the heavens eat.
“Guogi biro chamo joka Ahab motho e mier madongo kendo winy mae kor polo biro chamo mago motho e pewe.”
25 But indeed there was none like unto Achab, who sold himself to do what is evil in the eyes of the Lord, to which Izebel his wife incited him.
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 acted very abominably in following the idols, in all things just as had done the Emorites, whom the Lord had driven out from 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 Achab heard these words, that he rent his clothes, and put sackcloth upon his flesh, and fasted, and slept in the sackcloth, and walked about barefooted.
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 Hast thou seen how Achab hath humbled himself before me? therefore, because he hath humbled himself before me, will I not bring the evil in his days: in the days of his son 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.”
