1 Chronicles 20
1 And it comes to pass, at the time of the turn of the year—at the time of the going out of the messengers—that Joab leads out the force of the host, and destroys the land of the sons of Ammon, and comes in and besieges Rabbah—David is abiding in Jerusalem—and Joab strikes Rabbah, and breaks it down.
E kinde chakruok oro, e ndalo ma ruodhi thoro wuok kadhi kedo, Joab nowuok gi jolwenjgo momanore gi gige lweny. Ne omuko moketho piny jo-Amon bangʼe odhi Raba ma olwore gi jolweny, Daudi to nodongʼ Jerusalem. Joab nomonjo Raba moweyo kokethe chuth.
2 And David takes the crown of their king from off his head, and finds it [to be] a talent of gold [in] weight, and [with] precious stone in it, and it is on the head of David; and he has brought out very much spoil of the city,
Daudi nogolo osimbo ewi ruodhgi, ma pek mar dhahabu molosego nonwangʼ ni dirom kilo piero adek gangʼwen, kendo nochom kuome kite ma nengogi tek mi nosidhe ewi Daudi. Nokawo gik mangʼeny mane oyako e dala maduongʼno
3 and he has brought out the people who [are] in it, and sets [them] to the saw, and to cutting instruments of iron, and to axes; and thus David does to all cities of the sons of Ammon, and David turns back—and all the people—to Jerusalem.
kendo nodaro joma nodak kanyo moketogi e tich mar tiyogi musmende, kod tindo mag chuma kod ledhi. Daudi notimo mano ne mier duto mag jo-Amon. Bangʼe Daudi gi jolweny mage duto nodok Jerusalem.
4 And it comes to pass after this, that war remains in Gezer with the Philistines; then Sibbechai the Hushathite has struck Sippai, of the children of the giant, and they are humbled.
E kinde mamoko lweny nowuok Gezer e kindgi gi jo-Filistia. E ndalogo Sibekai ma ja-Hushath nonego Sipai mane en achiel kuom nyikwa Refai omiyo nolo jo-Filistia.
5 And there is war with the Philistines again, and Elhanan son of Jair strikes Lahmi, brother of Goliath the Gittite, the wood of whose spear [is] like a weavers’ beam.
E lweny machielo gi jo-Filistia, Elhanan wuod Jair nonego Lami ma owadgi Goliath ja-Giti mane ni kod tongʼ ma bonde romo gi lodi.
6 And there is war in Gath again, and there is a man of [great] measure, and his fingers and his toes [are] six and six—twenty-four [total], and he has also been born to the giant.
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.
7 And he reproaches Israel, and Jonathan son of Shimea, brother of David, strikes him.
To kane othiano ni jo-Israel, Jonathan wuod Shimea ma owadgi Daudi nonege.
8 These were born to the giant in Gath, and they fall by the hand of David, and by the hand of his servants.
Magi ne nyikwa Rafa ja-Gath mane Daudi gi joge onego.
