2 Samuel 1
1 Now it came to pass after the death of Saul, when David was returned from smiting the 'Amalekites, that David abode in Ziklag two days.
Bangʼ kane Saulo osetho, Daudi noduogo koa e lweny mane oloyoe jo-Amalek mi nonindo Ziklag ndalo ariyo.
2 And it came to pass on the third day, that, behold, a man came out of the camp from Saul with his clothes rent, and earth upon his head: and it happened, when he came to David, that he fell to the earth, and prostrated himself.
Chiengʼ mar adek ngʼato nobiro koa e kambi mar Saulo korwako lewni moyiech to wiye otimo buru, kane ochopo ir Daudi nokulore nyaka piny komiye duongʼ.
3 And David said unto him, From where comest thou? And he said unto him, Out of the camp of Israel am I escaped.
Daudi nopenje niya, “Ia kanye?” Nodwoke niya, “Atony kawuok e kambi mar jo-Israel.”
4 And David said unto him, What took place there? I pray thee, tell me. And he said, That the people are fled from the battle, and that also many of the people are fallen and have died; and that also Saul and Jonathan his son are dead.
Daudi nopenjo niya, “Wachnane, angʼo manotimore?” Nodwoke niya, “Ji noringo kawuok e lweny. Ngʼenygi nonegi kendo Saulo gi Jonathan wuode bende otho.”
5 And David said unto the young man that told him, How knowest thou that Saul is dead as also Jonathan his son?
Eka Daudi nowachone wuowi mane okelone wach niya, “Ere kaka ingʼeyo ni Saulo gi wuode Jonathan osetho?”
6 And the young man that told him said, I happened entirely by chance to be upon mount Gilboa', when, behold, there was Saul leaning upon his spear; and, lo, the chariots and horsemen had overtaken him.
Wuowino nodwoke niya, “Ne oyudo ka an e got Gilboa kendo ne aneno Saulo kochwowore gi tongʼe, ka geche lweny kod joidhgi mane lawe ne chiegni juke.”
7 And he turned round, and he saw me, and called unto me, And I said, Here am I.
Kane olokore monena, noluonga, mine apenje ni, Angʼo midwaro mondo atim?
8 And he said unto me, Who art thou! And I answered him, An 'Amalekite am I.
“Nopenja ni, ‘In ngʼa?’ “Ne adwoke ni, ‘An ja-Amalek.’
9 And he said unto me, Place thyself, I pray thee, by me, and slay me; for a mortal tremor hath seized on me, although my life is yet whole in me.
“Eka nowachona ni, ‘Sud ira ka mondo inega! Nikech awinjo rem malit to ngimana pod nitie.’
10 So I placed myself by him, and slew him, because I was sure that he could not live after his fall; and I took the crown that was upon his head, and the bracelet that was on his arm, and I have brought them unto my lord hither.
“Omiyo ne asudo bute mi anege, nikech ne angʼeyo ni kaka ne osepodho ne ok onyal chungʼ malo mi otony. Ne akawo osimbo mar loch mane ni e wiye gi bangli mane ni e kor bade kendo asekelogi ka ni ruodha.”
11 David thereupon took hold of his clothes, and rent them; and [so did] likewise all the men that were with him:
Eka Daudi gi joma nenikode nomako lepgi moyiecho.
12 And they lamented, and wept, and fasted until the evening, for Saul, and for Jonathan his son, and for the people of the Lord, and for the house of Israel; because they were fallen by the sword.
Negikuyo ka giywak kendo ka giriyo kech nyaka ochopo odhiambo, ka giywago Saulo gi wuode Jonathan, to gi jolweny mag Jehova Nyasaye to gi jo-Israel, nikech ne oseneg-gi gi ligangla.
13 And David said unto the young man that told him, Whence art thou? And he said, The son of a stranger, an 'Amalekite, am I.
Daudi nowacho ni rawera mane okelone wach niya, “In jakanye?” Nodwoke niya, “An wuod jadak ma ja-Amalek.”
14 And David said unto him, How wast thou not afraid to stretch forth thy hand to destroy the Lord's anointed?
Daudi nopenje niya, “Angʼo momiyo ne ok iluor mar tingʼo badi kinego ngʼat Jehova Nyasaye mowir?”
15 And David called one of the young men, and said, Come near, and fall upon him. And he smote him that he died.
Eka Daudi noluongo achiel kuom joge mowachone niya, “Dhi inege!” Omiyo ngʼatno nochwowe motho.
16 And David said unto him, Thy blood is upon thy own head; for thy mouth hath testified against thee, saying, I myself have slain the Lord's anointed.
Nimar Daudi nosewachone niya, “Rembi obedi e wiyi iwuon. Dhogi ema osebedo janeno mari ka iwacho ni, ‘Asenego ngʼat Jehova Nyasaye mowir.’”
17 And David lamented with this lamentation over Saul and over Jonathan his son:
Daudi nochwogo wend ywak miywagogo Saulo gi wuode Jonathan,
18 And he said, That the children of Judah should be taught the bow; behold it is written in the book of Yashar.
kendo nochiko mondo opuonj jo-Juda wend ywak mar atungʼ mondiki e Kitabu mar Jasher kama:
19 O beauty of Israel! upon the high places slain: how are the mighty fallen!
“Yaye Israel, jogi moluor oriere piny konegi e gode maboyo. Mano kaka roteke osepodho.
20 Tell it not in Gath, publish it not in the streets of Ashkelon; that the daughters of the Philistines may not be glad, that the daughters of the uncircumcised may not rejoice.
“Kik iwach wachni e piny Gath, kik ihul wachni e yore man Ashkelon, nono to dimi nyi jo-Filistia bed moil, bende dimi nyi joma ok oter nyangu bed moil.
21 O mountains of Gilboa', no dew, nor rain be upon you, nor fields of offerings; for there the shield of the mighty was stained, the shield of Saul, as though it had not been anointed with oil.
“Yaye gode mag Gilboa, mad ibed maonge thoo kata koth, kata puothe machiego cham michiwo. Nimar kanyo ema ne odwanye kuodi mag joma rateke, kuodi mag Saulo, tinde ok wir gi mo.
22 From the blood of the slain, from the fat of the mighty, the bow of Jonathan turned never back, and the sword of Saul never returned empty.
Koa kuom remb joma nonegi, koa kuom ringre joma rateke, atungʼ mar Jonathan ne ok odwogo, ligangla mar Saulo ne ok odwogo nono.
23 Saul and Jonathan, the beloved and the dear in their lives, were even in their death not divided: more than eagles were they swift, more than lions were they strong.
“Saulo gi Jonathan ne oher kendo ne gin joma longʼo kane gingima, kendo e kinde thogi ne ok gipogore. Negiringo matek maloyo ongo, kendo ne gitek maloyo sibuor.
24 O daughters of Israel, weep for Saul, who clothed you in scarlet, with beautiful dresses, who put on ornaments of gold upon your apparel.
“Yaye nyi Israel, ywaguru Saulo, mane orwakou gi lewni makwar kendo marep-rep, mane oduso lepu gi gik molos gi dhahabu.
25 How are the mighty fallen in the midst of the battle! O Jonathan, on thy high places slain.
“Mano kaka joma rateke osetho e lweny! Jonathan onindo konegi e godeu maboyo.
26 I am distressed for thee, my brother Jonathan; very dear hast thou been unto me: wonderful was thy love for me, passing the love of women.
Aywagi malit, Jonathan omera; ne ageni ahinya. Herani koda ne lich miwuoro, moloyo hera mar mon.
27 How are the mighty fallen, and lost the instruments of war!
“Mano kaka joma rateke osetho! Kendo gigegi mag lweny osetieki!”
