1 Samuel 25
1 And Samuel died; and all the Israelites assembled themselves together, and lamented for him, and buried him in his house at Ramah. And David arose, and went down to the wilderness of Paran.
Koro Samuel notho, kendo Israel duto nochokore moywage; mine giike e dalane Rama. Bangʼe Daudi nowuok molor piny e Thim Paran.
2 And there was a man in Ma'on, whose business was in Carmel; and the man was very great, and he had three thousand sheep, and a thousand goats: and he was, while they were shearing his sheep, at Carmel.
Ne nitie ngʼat moro e piny Maon mane nigi mwandu Karmel, ne en jamoko ahinya. Ne en gi diek alufu achiel gi rombe alufu adek, mane ongʼado yiegi e Karmel.
3 Now the name of the man was Nabal, and the name of his wife Abigayil: and the woman was of good understanding, and of a beautiful form; but the man was hard-hearted and evil in his deeds; and he was of the house of Caleb.
Ne iluonge ni Nabal to chiege ne iluongo ni Abigael. Ne en dhako mariek kendo ne ojaber, to chwore ne ja-dhood Kaleb, ne en ngʼama koch, jagwondo kendo ma timbene richo.
4 And David heard in the wilderness that Nabal was shearing his sheep.
Kane Daudi ni e thim, nowinjo ni Nabal ngʼado yie rombe.
5 And David sent out ten young men, and David said unto the young men, Get you up to Carmel, and go to Nabal, and ask him in my name after his well-being.
Omiyo nooro yawuowi apar mowachonegi niya, “Dhiuru Karmel ir Nabal mondo umosnago.
6 And ye shall say, May it thus be throughout thy life; and peace be to thee, and peace be to thy house, and unto all that thou hast be peace.
Wachneuru ni, ‘Idag amingʼa! Ngimani bende obed maonge tuoche in kaachiel gi odi! Kendo gigi duto obed gi ngima maber!
7 And now have I heard that thou hast sheep-shearers: now thy shepherds have been with us, we have not injured them, neither hath there aught been missing unto them, all the time they were at Carmel.
“‘Koro asewinjo ni ingʼado yie rombi e kindeni. Kane jokwadhi ni kodwa, to ne ok watimonegi marach, kendo e kinde duto mane gin Karmel onge girgi manolal.
8 Ask thy young men, and they will tell it thee. Therefore let the young men find favor in thy eyes; for on a festive day are we come: give, I pray thee, whatsoever thy hand is capable of unto thy servants, and to thy son, to David.
Penj jotiji iwuon kendo gibiro nyisi. Omiyo tim tim ngʼwono ne yawuota ma aorogo kaka wabiro e kinde mag mor. Yie imi wasumbinigi gi wuodi Daudi gimoro amora minyalo miyogi.’”
9 And David's young men came, and they spoke to Nabal in accordance with all these words in the name of David; and then they ceased.
Kane jo-Daudi ochopo neginyiso Nabal wach ote Daudi, eka negirito.
10 And Nabal answered the servants of David, and said, Who is David? and who is the son of Jesse? now-a-days there are many servants that break away every one from his master.
Nabal nodwoko jotich Daudi niya, “Daudi-ni to en ngʼa? Wuod Jesseni to en ngʼa? Jotich mangʼeny ndaloni ngʼanyo ne ruodhigi.
11 Shall I then take my bread, and my water, and my flesh that I have killed for my sheep-shearers, and give it unto men, whom I know not whence they are?
Angʼo momiyo dakaw kuona gi piga to gi ringa ma aseyangʼo ne jongʼadna yie rombe mondo ami joma akia kuma oaye?”
12 And David's young men turned about on their way, and returned, and came and told him in accordance with all these words.
Jo-Daudi nowichore mi odok. Kane gichopo, neginyiso Daudi weche duto.
13 And David said unto his men, Gird ye on, every man, his sword. And they girded on, every man, his sword; and David also girded on his sword: and there went up after David about four hundred men, and two hundred abode by the baggage.
Daudi nowachone joge niya, “Kawuru liganglau!” Omiyo negikawo liganglagi Daudi bende nokawo mare. Ji madirom mia angʼwen nodhi gi Daudi, to mia ariyo nodongʼ karito gigegi.
14 But one of the young men told Abigayil, Nabal's wife, saying, Behold, David sent messengers out of the wilderness to greet our master; but he hath spoken rudely to them.
Achiel kuom jotich nonyiso chi Nabal ma Abigael niya, “Daudi nooro joote koa e thim mondo obi omos jaduongʼwa, to nobayonegi wach.
15 Whereas the men have been very good unto us; and we have not been injured, neither have we missed any thing, all the time that we went about with them, while we were in the field:
Kata kamano jogi noritowa maber ahinya. Ne ok gitimonwa marach, to bende e kinde mane wan oko e pap kodgi onge gimoro mane olal.
16 A wall were they around us both by night and by day, all the time we were with them, feeding the flocks.
Otieno gi odiechiengʼ ne gibedonwa ka ohinga molworowa kinde duto ka wakwayo rombewa butgi.
17 And now know and consider what thou canst do; for evil is determined on against our master, and against all his household; and he is too greatly a worthless man for me to speak to him.
Koro par ane wach kendo ne gima inyalo timo, nikech chandruok dhi biro ne ruodhwa gi joge duto. Nikech en ngʼat ma achach maonge ngʼama nyalo wuoyo kode.”
18 And Abigayil made haste, and took two hundred loaves, and two bottles of wine, and five sheep ready dressed, and five measures of parched corn, and a hundred clusters of raisins, and two hundred cakes of figs, and laid them on asses.
Abigael ne ok oketho seche. Nokawo makati mia ariyo, ndede ariyo mar divai, rombe abich moyangʼ gi chamb aloda madirom kilo piero adek gabiriyo, olemb raisin mongʼin maromo mia achiel, gi olemb ngʼowu molos mopamore moromo mia ariyo, eka noketogi e punde.
19 And she said unto her young men, Pass on before me: behold, I come after you. But to her husband Nabal she told nothing.
Eka nowachone jotije niya, “Dhiuru nyime an abiro bangʼu.” To ne ok onyiso chwore ma Nabal.
20 And it was so, as she was riding on the ass, and coming down by the covert of the mount, that, behold, David and his men came down toward her; and she met them.
Kane oyudo odhi koidho pundane e hoho manie got, to nyime kanyo noneno Daudi gi joge kalor e got biro kochome kendo noromo kodgi.
21 Now David had said, Yea, for naught only have I guarded all that belongeth to this fellow in the wilderness, so that not the least was missed of all that pertained unto him; and he hath requited me evil instead of good.
Daudi noyudo osewacho niya, “Kara ne en gima nono ka athagora gi rito mwandu ngʼatni e thim, maonge kata mana gire mane olal. To osechula mana rach kar ber mane atimone.
22 So may God do unto the enemies of David, and do so yet farther, if I leave of all that pertaineth to him by the morning light, as much as a dog.
Mad Nyasaye kum Daudi malit ka dipo ni kiny piny orune ngʼato angʼata madichwo e dala maweyo kapod ngima!”
23 And when Abigayil saw David, she hastened, and alighted off the ass, and fell down before David on her face, and bowed herself to the ground.
Kane Abigael oneno Daudi nolor piyo koa e pundane mane oidho mine mokulore e nyim Daudi nyaka e lowo.
24 And she fell at his feet, and said, On me, me, my lord, is the fault: and let thy hand-maid, I pray thee, speak in thy hearing, and listen to the words of thy hand-maid.
Nopodho piny e tiend Daudi mi owacho kama: “Ruodha we rach obed e wiya awuon. Kiyie to we jatichni owuo kodi; winj gima jatichni dwa wacho.
25 Let not my Lord, I pray thee, turn his heart unto this worthless man, unto Nabal; for as his name is, so is he: Nabal is his name, and meanness is with him; but I thy hand-maid did not see the young men of my Lord, whom thou didst send.
Mad ruodha mondo kik odew ngʼat ma achach ma Nabal. Ochalo mana gi nyinge, nyinge tiende ni ngʼat mofuwo, kendo otimo tim fuwo kuonde duto. An to ne ok aneno joma ne ruodha ooro.
26 And now, my lord, as the Eternal liveth, and as thy soul liveth, it is the Lord who hath withholden thee from coming to blood-guiltiness, and from helping thyself with thy own hand; and now may like Nabal be thy enemies, and those that seek [to do] my Lord evil.
“Emomiyo koro ruodha, Jehova Nyasaye oseriti mondo kik ichwer remo kendo mondo kik ichul kuor gi lweti to akwongʼora gi nying Jehova Nyasaye mangima kendo gi in iwuon ni mad wasiki kod ji duto machano timoni marach ochal gi Nabal.
27 And now this present which thy hand-maid hath brought unto my Lord, let it even be given unto the young men that follow in the train my Lord.
Yie mondo michni, ma jatichni osekelo ni ruodha, mondo omi joma luwi.
28 Pardon, I pray thee, the trespass of thy hand-maid; for the Lord will certainly make for my lord an enduring house; because the battles of the Lord doth my lord fight, and evil will not be found in thee all thy days.
“Yie iwene jatichni kethone, nimar Jehova Nyasaye nyaka nomi dhood ruodha loch mosiko, nikech okedo lwenje mag Jehova Nyasaye. Kik iyie ketho moro oyud kuomi kapod ingima.
29 And though a man is risen up to pursue thee, and to seek thy soul: yet will the soul of my Lord be bound in the bond of life with the Lord thy God; and the soul of thy enemies will he hurl away, as out of the middle of the sling.
Kata obedo ni ngʼato lawi mondo otiek ngimani, to ngima mar ruodha notwe motegno gi kanyakla mar joma ngima gi Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachi. To ngima wasiki to nowit mabor mana ka gima odir gorujre.
30 And it shall come to pass, when the Lord will do to my lord, in accordance with all the good that he hath spoken concerning thee, and will ordain thee as ruler over Israel,
Kane Jehova Nyasaye osetimo ni ruodha gik mabeyo duto manosingone mi okete jatend jo-Israel,
31 That this shall not be unto thee as a cause of offense and as a reproach of heart unto my lord, both by having shed blood without cause, and by my lord having righted himself; and when the Lord will do good unto my lord, then do thou remember thy hand-maid.
to chuny ruodha ok nochandre nine ochwero remo mane ok onego chwer kata chulo kuor ne en wuon. To ka Jehova Nyasaye osemiyo ruodha loch to mondo ipar jatichni.”
32 And David said to Abigayil, Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel, who sent thee this day to meet me;
Daudi nowachone Abigael niya, “Pak obed ni Jehova Nyasaye, Nyasach Israel, moseori kawuononi mondo irom koda.
33 And blessed be thy intelligence, and blessed be thou, who hast prevented me this day from coming unto blood-guiltiness, and from helping myself with my own hand.
Mad gwedhi kuom ngʼado buchi maber kendo kuom gengʼa mondo kik achwer remo kawuononi mar chulo kuor gi lwetena awuon.
34 But truly, as the Lord the God of Israel liveth, who hath withdrawn me from injuring thee, except thou hadst hastened and come to meet me, surely there would not have been left unto Nabal by the morning-light so much as a dog.
Ka ok kamano, to akwongʼora gi nying Jehova Nyasaye mangima ma Nyasach Israel, mosegengʼa mondo kik ahinyi, ka dine ok ibiro piyo mondo iromna, to dine ok odongʼ dichwo moro amora ka Nabal.”
35 And David took out of her hand that which she had brought him; and unto her he said, Go up in peace to thy house: see, I have hearkened to thy voice, and have respected thy presence.
Eka Daudi noyie mokawo gik mane osekelone mi owacho niya, “Dhi dala gi kwe. Asewinjo wecheni kendo aseyie gi kwayoni.”
36 And Abigayil came to Nabal; and, behold, he held a feast in his house, like the feast of a king; and Nabal's heart was merry within him, and he was exceedingly drunken; wherefore she told him not a word, either little or great, until the morning-light.
Ka Abigael nodhi ir Nabal ne en e ot kotimo Sawo maduongʼ ka mar ruoth. Ne omor ahinya bende ne omer. To ok nowachone gimoro nyaka piny noru.
37 But it happened in the morning, when the wine was gone out of Nabal, that his wife told him these things; and his heart died within him, and he became as a stone.
To ka nochopo okinyi ka Nabal kongʼo noserumo e wangʼe, chiege nowachone gik moko duto, mi chunye notho mochalo ka kidi.
38 And it came to pass in about ten days thereafter, that the Lord struck Nabal, and he died.
Bangʼ ndalo apar, eka Jehova Nyasaye nogoyo Nabal mi notho.
39 And when David heard that Nabal was dead, he said, Blessed be the Lord, who hath pleaded the cause of my reproach from the hand of Nabal, and hath withheld his servant from evil; and the wickedness of Nabal hath the Lord returned upon his own head. And David sent and applied for Abigayil, to take her to himself for wife.
Kane Daudi owinjo ni Nabal osetho, nowacho niya, “Pak obed ne Jehova Nyasaye, mosechulo kuor kuom ajara mane Nabal ojarago. Osegengʼo jatichne mondo kik otim marach mi oseketo timbene maricho e wiye owuon.” Eka Daudi nooro wach ne Abigael, kopenje mondo obed chiege.
40 And the servants of David came to Abigayil to Carmel, and they spoke unto her, saying, David hath sent us unto thee, to take thee to himself for wife.
Jotichne ne odhi Karmel mowachone Abigael niya, “Daudi oseorowa iri mondo wateri ire idhi ibed chiege.”
41 Thereupon she arose, and bowed herself with her face to the earth, and said, Behold, let thy hand-maid be a servant to wash the feet of the servants of my lord.
Nokulore piny ka okulo wiye piny auma mochopo e lowo mine owacho, “Jatichni madhako nika, oikore mar tiyonu kendo luoko tiend jotich ruodha.”
42 And Abigayil hastened, and arose, and rode upon an ass, with her five damsels that went in her train; and she went after the messengers of David, and she became his wife.
Abigael noidho punda piyo piyo ka jotije abich hike kendo rite, negidhi gi joote Daudi mobedo chiege.
43 David also took Achino'am of Yizre'el; and both of them became thus his wives.
Daudi noyudo osekendo Ahinoam ma nyar Jezreel, to giduto ne gin mond Daudi.
44 But Saul had given Michal his daughter, David's wife, to Palti, the son of Layish, who was of Gallim.
To Saulo nosekawo nyare ma Mikal, mane chi Daudi mi omiyo Paltiel wuod Laish mane ja-Galim.
