2 Samuel 21
1 And there was a famine in the days of David three years, year after year; and David besought the presence of the Lord. And the Lord said, On account of Saul, and on account of the house of blood, is this; because he hath slain the Gib'onites.
E ndalo loch Daudi, ne nitie kech kuom higni adek moluwore; omiyo Daudi nolamo koywak ni Jehova Nyasaye. To Jehova Nyasaye nowacho ni, “Ma ne otimore nikech remo mane Saulo gi ode ochwero, nikech nonego jo-Gibeon.”
2 And the king called for the Gib'onites, and said unto them: [now the Gib'onites are not of the children of Israel, but of the remnant of the Emorites; and the children of Israel had sworn unto them; but Saul had sought to slay them in his zeal for the children of Israel in Judah: ]
Ruoth noluongo jo-Gibeon mowuoyo kodgi. To koro jo-Gibeon ne ok gin achiel kuom jo-Israel to ne gin jo-Amor ma notony, kendo jo-Israel nosekwongʼore ni biro weyogi ma ok onegogi, to Saulo kane dwaro gi chunye duto mondo jo-Israel gi jo-Juda ogurre motegno, notemo tiekogi.
3 Wherefore David said unto the Gib'onites, What shall I do for you? and wherewith shall I make the atonement, that ye may bless the inheritance of the Lord?
Daudi nopenjo jo-Gibeon niya, “Atimnu angʼo? Ere kaka dalos winjruok mane okethore mondo ugwedhi oganda Jehova Nyasaye?”
4 And the Gib'onites said unto him, We have no concern of silver or gold with Saul and with his house: nor do we wish to kill any man in Israel. And he said, What ye say, will I do for you.
Jo-Gibeon nodwoke niya, “Waonge ratiro mar dwaro fedha kata dhahabu kuom joka Saulo, to bende waonge gi teko mar nego jo-Israel.” Eka Daudi nopenjogi niya, “Angʼo mudwaro mondo atimnu?”
5 And they said to the king, The man that consumed us, and that devised against us that we should be destroyed, so that we should have no footing in all the boundaries of Israel.
Ne gikwayo ruoth niya, “To kuom ngʼat mane onegowa kendo mane ochano yo mar hinyowa momiyo waserumo kendo wabedo maonge kar dak kamoro amora e Israel,
6 Let there be delivered unto us seven men of his sons, and we will hang them up unto the Lord in Gib'ah of Saul, the chosen of the Lord. And the king said, I will give them.
yie imiwa nyikwaye machwo abiriyo mondo onegi kendo owegi e nyim Jehova Nyasaye e Gibea e dala Saulo ma en ngʼat Jehova Nyasaye moyier.” Omiyo ruoth nowacho niya, “Abiro miyougi.”
7 But the king had pity on Mephibosheth, the son of Jonathan the son of Saul, because of the Lord's oath that was between them, between David and Jonathan the son of Saul.
To ruoth ne ongʼwono ma ok ochiwo Mefibosheth wuod Jonathan, ma wuod Saulo, nikech singruok mane Daudi gi Jonathan wuod Saulo otimo e nyim Jehova Nyasaye.
8 And the king took the two sons of Rizpah the daughter of Ayah, whom she had born unto Saul, Armoni and Mephibosheth; and the five sons of Michal the daughter of Saul, whom she had brought up for 'Adriel the son of Barzillai the Mecholathite:
To ruoth nokawo Armoni gi Mefibosheth ma yawuot Rizpa nyar Aiya mane onywolo ni Saulo, to gi yawuowi abich ma Merab nyar Saulo nonywolo ni Adriel wuod Barzilai, ma ja-Mehola.
9 And he delivered them into the hand of the Gib'onites, and they hanged them on the mount before the Lord; and they fell, these seven, together; and they were put to death in the first days of harvest, in the beginning of the barley-harvest.
Nochiwogi ni jo-Gibeon mano onegogi moweyogi ewi got nyim Jehova Nyasaye. Giduto ji abiriyogo notho kanyakla kane oneg-gi e kinde mokwongʼo mag keyo, mana ka ichako kayo shairi.
10 And Rizpah the daughter of Ayah took sackcloth, and spread out it for herself upon the rock, from the beginning of the harvest until water dropped down upon them out of heaven, and she suffered neither the birds of heaven to rest on them by day, nor the beasts of the field by night.
Rizpa nyar Aiya nokawo pien gugru mopedho ewi lwanda mondo obedie, chakre ndalo keyo nyaka koth nochako chue ka goyo ringre jogo. To noriembo winy mafuyo godiechiengʼ kod le mawuotho gotieno mondo kik cham ringregi.
11 And it was told to David what Rizpah the daughter of Ayah, the concubine of Saul, had done.
Kane onyis Daudi gima Rizpa nyar Aiya mane en achiel kuom mond Saulo mamoko, nosetimo,
12 And David then went and took the bones of Saul and the bones of Jonathan his son from the men of Yabeshgil'ad, who had stolen them from the market-place of Bethshan, where the Philistines had hanged them up, at the time the Philistines had smitten Saul at Gilboa':
nodhi mokawo choke Saulo gi mag wuode Jonathan ka ogologi kuom oganda jo-Jabesh Gilead. Ne gisekawogi lingʼ-lingʼ koa e paw dala man Beth Shan, kuma jo-Filistia nolierogie bangʼ nego Saulo Gilboa.
13 And he brought up from there the bones of Saul and the bones of Jonathan his son; and they gathered up the bones of those that had been hanged.
Daudi nokelo choke Saulo gi mag wuode Jonathan koa kuno, kod choke mag joma ne oneg mowe oko nochokgi kamoro achiel.
14 And they buried the bones of Saul and Jonathan his son in the country of Benjamin at Zela', in the sepulchre of Kish his father: and they performed all that the king had commanded. And after that God was entreated for the land.
Negiiko choke Saulo gi mag Jonathan ma wuode e liend Kish wuon Saulo, e Zela e piny Benjamin kendo negitimo gik moko duto ma ruoth nochiko. Bangʼ mano Nyasaye nodwoko lemo mane ilamo ni piny.
15 And the Philistines had again a war with Israel; and David went down, and his servants with him, and fought against the Philistines: and David became fatigued.
Lweny nochako bet kendo e kind jo-Filistia gi jo-Israel. Daudi nodhi gi joge mondo oked gi jo-Filistia, kendo nobedo mool.
16 And Yishbi at Nob, who was of the children of the Raphah, the weight of whose spear was three hundred shekels of copper, he being girded with a new armor, thought to slay David.
To Ishbi-Benob ma en achiel kuom nyikwa Rafa, mane omanore gi tongʼ ma pek mula mane olosgo wiye ne romo kilo adek gi nus kendo ne en-gi ligangla manyien, nowacho ni obiro nego Daudi.
17 But Abishai the son of Zeruyah succored him, and smote the Philistine, and killed him. Then swore the men of David unto him, saying, Thou shalt go out no more with us to battle, that thou mayest not quench the lamp of Israel.
To Abishai wuod Zeruya nobiro moreso Daudi mi nogoyo ja-Filistia monego. Eka jolweny mag Daudi nosingorene kawacho niya, “Ok inichak iwuog kodwa kidhi e lweny, nikech dipo ka tach Israel otho.”
18 And it came to pass after this, that there was again a battle at Gob, with the Philistines: then smote Sibbechai the Chushathite Saph, who was of the children of the Raphah.
Bangʼ kinde manok, ne nitie lweny machielo gi jo-Filistia e piny Gob. E kindeno Sibekai ma ja-Hushath nonego Saf, achiel kuom nyikwa Rafa.
19 And there was again a battle at Gob with the Philistines, when Elchanan the son of Ya'are-oregim, the Bethlechemite, slew Goliath the Gittite, the staff of whose spear was like a weaver's beam.
E lweny machielo gi jo-Filistia e piny Gob Elhanan wuod Jare-Oregim ma ja-Bethlehem nonego Goliath, ja-Giti ma bond tonge chalo lodi.
20 And there was again a battle in Gath, where was a man of [great] stature, that had on every hand six fingers, and on every foot six toes, [in all] four and twenty in number; and he also was born to the Raphah.
Lweny machielo nochako owuok Gath, kama ne nitie ngʼat marabet mane nigi lith lwedo auchiel gi lith tielo auchiel koni gi koni, lith lwetene gi mag tiendene koriw to ne romo piero ariyo gangʼwen. En bende ne en nyakwar Rafa.
21 And he defied Israel; but Jonathan the son of Shim'ah, the brother of David, slew him.
En bende kane ojaro jo-Israel to Jonathan wuod Shimea ma owadgi Daudi nonege.
22 These four were born to the Raphah in Gath; and they fell by the hand of David, and by the hand of his servants.
Ji angʼwen-gi mane nyikwa Rafa ma ja-Gath, nonegi gi Daudi kod joge.
