2 Samuel 3
1 And the war lasted a long time between the house of Saul and the house of David; but David became continually stronger and stronger, and the house of Saul became continually weaker and weaker.
Lweny mane ni e kind dhood Saulo gi dhood Daudi nodhi nyime kuom ndalo mangʼeny. Daudi nomedo bedo giteko ahinya, ka dhood Saulo to nomedo bedo manyap.
2 And there were born unto David sons in Hebron: and his first-born was Amnon, of Achino'am the Yizre'elitess;
Yawuowi mane Daudi onywolo ka en Hebron e magi: Wuode makayo ne en Amnon wuod Ahinoam nyar Jezreel;
3 And his second was Kilab, of Abigayil the wife of Nabal the Carmelite; and the third, Abshalom, the son of Ma'achah the daughter of Talmai the king of Geshur;
mar ariyo ne en Kileab wuod Abigael ma dhako mane chwore otho mane jaod Nabal ja-Karmel; mar adek ne en Abisalom wuod Maaka nyar Talmai ruodh Geshur;
4 And the fourth, Adoniyah, the son of Chaggith; and the fifth, Shephatyah, the son of Abital;
mar angʼwen ne en Adonija wuod Hagith; mar abich ne en Shefatia wuod Abital;
5 And the sixth, Yithre'am, by 'Eglah, David's wife. These were born to David in Hebron.
mar auchiel ne en Ithream ma wuod chi Daudi miluongo ni Egla. Jogi duto Daudi nonywolo ka en Hebron.
6 And it came to pass, while the war lasted between the house of Saul and the house of David, that Abner upheld with all his strength the house of Saul.
E ndalo mag lweny mane ni e kind dhood Saulo gi dhood Daudi, Abner nomedo bedo gi teko e dhood Saulo.
7 And Saul had a concubine, whose name was Rizpah, the daughter of Ayah: and Ish-bosheth said to Abner, Wherefore hast thou gone in unto my father's concubine?
Saulo ne nigi dhako machielo ma nyinge Rizpa nyar Aiya. Kendo Ish-Boseth nopenjo Abner niya, “Marangʼo isedonjo e od wuora mi ikawo chiege miloko mari?”
8 And Abner became very wroth because of the words of Ish-bosheth, and said, Am I the chief of the dogs which belong to Judah? unto this day have I shown kindness unto the house of Saul thy father, to his brothers, and to his friends, and have not delivered thee into the hand of David; and yet thou chargest me today with a wrong committed with this woman?
Abner ne iye owangʼ ahinya nikech wach mane Ish-Boseth owachone mine odwoke niya, “Kare aromra mana gi wich guok e kind Juda? Kawuononi abolora e bwo loch wuonu ma Saulo gi joode kod osiepene. Pok achiwi e lwet Daudi. To kata kamano, iketho nyinga ni atimo richo gi dhakoni!
9 May God do so to Abner, and continue to do yet more to him, that, as the Lord hath sworn to David, even so will I surely do to him;
Mad Nyasaye ngʼadne Abner bura, kata obed ni en bura matek machalo nade, ka diponi ok atimone Daudi gima Jehova Nyasaye nokwongʼore ka singone,
10 To transfer the kingdom from the house of Saul, and to establish the throne of David over Israel and over Judah, from Dan even to Beer-sheba'.
mi alok pinyruoth kagolo e dhood Saulo kendo kaguro motegno loch Daudi e Israel gi Juda chakre Dan nyaka Bersheba.”
11 And he could not answer Abner a word more in reply, because of his fear of him.
Ish-Boseth ok nohedhore wacho gimoro kendo ni Abner nikech noluore.
12 And Abner sent messengers to David on his behalf, saying, Whose is the land? saying [also, ] Make thy covenant with me, and, behold, my hand shall be with thee, to bring round unto thee all Israel.
Eka Abner ne ooro joote mage moko ir Daudi mondo owach kama: “Mani en piny ngʼa? Los winjruok koda kendo abiro konyi kakelo Israel duto kuomi.”
13 And he said, Well: I will indeed make a covenant with thee; but one thing I require of thee, namely, Thou shalt not see my face, except thou first bring Michal, Saul's daughter, when thou comest to see my face.
Daudi nowacho niya, “Mano ber. Abiro loso winjruok e kinda kodi. To gimoro achiel madwaro kuomi en; kik ibi e nyima ka ok ikelo Mikal nyar Saulo chiengʼ ma ibiro nena.”
14 And David sent messengers to Ish-bosheth, the son of Saul, saying, Give up to me my wife Michal, whom I espoused to me for a hundred foreskins of the Philistines.
Eka Daudi nooro joote ir Ish-Boseth wuod Saulo konyise niya, “Miya Mikal chiega mane anywomo an awuon gi ringre jo-Filistia mia achiel.”
15 And Ish-bosheth sent, and took her from the man, from Paltiel the son of Layish.
Omiyo Ish-Boseth nogolo chik mondo ogole kuom Paltiel wuod Laish machuore.
16 And her husband went with her going along and weeping behind her as far as Bachurim: when Abner said unto him, Go, return. And he returned.
Chwore to noluwo bangʼe kaywak nyaka gichopo Bahurim, eka Abner ne owachone niya, “Dog dala!” Mi nodok.
17 And Abner had used these words with the elders of Israel, saying, Already yesterday and even before ye have been desiring David as king over you:
Abner ne owuoyo gi jodong Israel kowacho niya, “Kuom kinde moko usebedo ka udwaro keto Daudi obed ruodhu.”
18 And now do it; for the Lord hath said of David thus, By the hand of my servant David will I save my people Israel out of the hand of the Philistines, and out of the hand of all their enemies.
Koro sani timuru kamano! Nimar Jehova Nyasaye ne osingore ni Daudi ni, Ka akonyora gi jatichna Daudi abiro reso joga Israel oa e lwet Filistia kendo e lwet wasikgi duto.
19 And Abner also spoke in the ears of Benjamin; and Abner went also to speak in the ears of David in Hebron all that seemed good in the eyes of Israel, and in the eyes of the whole house of Benjamin.
Abner ne owuoyo gi jo-Benjamin en owuon. Eka ne odhi Hebron mondo onyis Daudi weche duto ma jo-Israel gi dhood Benjamin duto ne dwa timo.
20 And Abner came to David to Hebron, and with him were twenty men; and David made for Abner and for the men that were with him a feast.
Kane Abner gi ji piero ariyo mane obirogo ir Daudi ochopo Hebron, Daudi ne olosone nyasi mar chiemo kaachiel gi joge.
21 And Abner said unto David, I will now arise and go, and I will assemble unto my Lord the king all Israel, that they may make a covenant with thee, and that thou mayest reign over all that thy soul longeth for. And David dismissed Abner: and he went in peace.
Eka Abner ne owacho ni Daudi niya, “We mondo adhi piyo mondo achok jo-Israel duto ni ruodha ma ruoth, mondo giwinjre kodi, mondo ibed ruodhgi giduto kaka chunyi dwaro.” Omiyo Daudi ne oweyo Abner oa ire modhi gi kwe.
22 And, behold, the servants of David and Joab came from a predatory excursion, and brought in much booty with them; but Abner was no more with David in Hebron; for he had dismissed him, and he was gone in peace.
Joge Daudi gi Joab noduogo koa pecho e sechego kendo negikelo gik mangʼeny moyaki. Abner to ne osewuok oweyo Daudi Hebron nikech Daudi ne oseweye thuolo mondo odhi, kendo noweye odhi gi kwe.
23 When Joab and all the army that was with him were come, they told Joab, saying, Abner the son of Ner came to the king, and he hath dismissed him, and he is gone in peace.
Kane Joab gi jolweny duto mane ni kode odonjo, ne owachne ni Abner wuod Ner ne osebiro ir ruoth, mi ruoth ne osemiye thuolo modhi, kendo bende nine osedhi gi kwe.
24 Then came Joab to the king, and said, What hast thou done? behold, Abner came unto thee: why is it that thou hast dismissed him, that he went freely away?
Omiyo Joab ne odhi ir ruoth mowachone niya, “Isetimo angʼoni? Ne, Abner ne obiro iri, to angʼo momiyo iweye odhi? Koro osedhi!
25 Thou knowest Abner the son of Ner, that to deceive thee did he come, and to know thy going out and thy coming in, and to know all that thou art doing.
Ingʼeyo Abner wuod Ner; osebiro mondo owuondi kendo mondo onon kendo ongʼe kaka iwuotho mondo ongʼe gik moko duto ma itimo.”
26 And Joab went out from David, and he sent messengers after Abner, who brought him back from the well of Sirah; but David knew it not.
Joab ne owuok oweyo Daudi mi ooro joote mi olawo Abner, kendo ne gijuke ka en e soko man Sira mi giduoge. To Daudi ne ok ongʼeyo wachni.
27 And when Abner was returned to Hebron, Joab took him aside in the gate to speak with him in private; and he smote him there under the fifth rib, and he died, for the blood of 'Asahel his brother.
Koro kane Abner osedwogo Hebron, Joab notere tenge e dhorangach; ka gima odwa wuoyo kode lingʼ-lingʼ. To kendo gikanyo, ema nochuloe kuor mar Asahel, mi Joab nochwowo iye motho.
28 And when David heard it afterward, he said, I and my kingdom are guiltless before the Lord for ever of the blood of Abner the son of Ner:
Bangʼe ka Daudi nowinjo wachni, nowacho niya, “An kod pinyruodha wanabed maler e nyim Jehova Nyasaye nyaka chiengʼ kuom remb Abner wuod Ner.
29 May it rest on the head of Joab, and on all his father's house; and may there not fail from the house of Joab one that hath an issue, or that is a leper, or that leaneth on a crutch, or that falleth by the sword, or that lacketh bread.
Mad rembe bed ewi Joab gi ewi dhood wuon-gi duto! Mad e dhood Joab kik bedi ni onge ngʼama nigi adhola machwer kata ja-dhoho kata ngʼama wuotho gi luth kata ngʼama inego gi ligangla kata ngʼama ochando chiemo.”
30 But Joab and Abishai his brother slew Abner, because he had killed their brother 'Asahel at Gib'on in the battle.
Joab gi Abishai owadgi nonego Abner nikech nosenego Asahel mowadgi e lweny mane oked Gibeon.
31 And David said to Joab, and to all the people that were with him, Rend your clothes, and gird yourselves with sackcloth, and [go] mourning before Abner. And king David walked behind the bier.
Eka Daudi nowacho ni Joab gi ji duto mane ni kode niya, “Yiechuru lepu kendo rwakreuru gi lep ywak kendo wuothuru e nyim Abner ka uywak.” Ruoth Daudi owuon to nowuotho kaluwo joma otingʼo ringre Abner.
32 And they buried Abner in Hebron: and the king lifted up his voice, and wept at the grave of Abner; and all the people wept.
Abner ne oiki e piny Hebron, kendo ruoth noywak malit e liende. Ji duto bende noywak.
33 And the king lamented over Abner, and said, O, that Abner had to die, as the worthless dieth!
Ruoth nochwogo wend ywak ne Abner kama: “Yaye bende ne onego Abner tho mana kaka ngʼama ofuwo tho?
34 Thy hands were not bound, and thy feet were not put into fetters: as one falleth before men of wickedness art thou fallen. And all the people wept again over him.
Lweti ne ok otwe, tiendeni ne ok otwe gi ratege. Isepodho mana kaka ngʼato podho e lwet joma richo.” Kendo ji duto notugore ka ywage kendo.
35 And all the people came to cause David to eat food while it was yet day; but David swore, saying, So do God to me, and thus may he continue, if before the sun be down I taste bread, or the least else.
Eka giduto negibiro kendo gisayo Daudi mondo ochamie gimoro kar odiechiengʼ, to Daudi nosekwongʼore kowacho niya, “Mad Nyasaye ngʼadna bura kata obedo ni en malit manade ka dipo ni abilo chiemo kata chamo chiemo moro amora ka chiengʼ pok opodho.”
36 And all the people took notice of it, and it was pleasing in their eyes: as whatsoever the king did was pleasing in the eyes of all the people.
Ji duto noneno moyie gimor; adieri negimor gi gik moko duto ma ruoth notimo.
37 And all the people and all Israel understood on that day that it had not been of the king to slay Abner the son of Ner.
Omiyo chiengʼno ji duto gi Israel duto nongʼeyo ni ruoth ne ok oriwore e wach nek mar Abner wuod Ner.
38 And the king said unto his servants, Know ye not that a prince and a great man hath fallen this day in Israel?
Eka ruoth nowacho ni joge niya, “Donge ungʼeyo ni jatelo kendo ngʼat maduongʼ osetho e Israel kawuono?
39 And I am this day yet weak, and just anointed king; and these men, the sons of Zeruyah, are too strong for me: may the Lord pay the doer of evil according to his wickedness.
Kawuononi, kata bedni an e ngʼat mowir mondo obed ruoth to abwok, yawuot Zeruya-gi otamo wangʼa. Mad Jehova Nyasaye chul kuor ni ngʼama timne rach marom gi timbene maricho!”
