1 Samuel 14
1 And the day comes that Jonathan son of Saul says to the young man carrying his weapons, “Come, and we pass over to the station of the Philistines, which [is] on the other side of this”; and he has not declared [it] to his father.
Chiengʼ moro achiel Jonathan wuod Saulo nowachone wuowi mane tingʼone gige lweny niya, “Bi mondo wadhi loka cha e kambi mar jo-Filistia.” To ne ok onyiso wuon-gi.
2 And Saul is abiding at the extremity of Gibeah, under the pomegranate which [is] in Migron, and the people who [are] with him [are] about six hundred men,
Noyudo Saulo ojot oko mar Gibea e tiend yadh moro man-gi olemo mongʼinore e Migron. Ji madirom mia auchiel ne ni kode kuno,
3 and Ahiah, son of Ahitub, brother of Ichabod, son of Phinehas son of Eli priest of YHWH in Shiloh, [was] bearing an ephod; and the people did not know that Jonathan has gone.
achiel kuom joma ne en godo kuno ne en Ahija mane orwako law mayom mar dolo miluongo ni efod. Ne en wuod owadgi Ikabod miluongo ni Ahitub wuod Finehas, ma wuod Eli, jadolo mar Jehova Nyasaye modak Shilo. Ne onge ngʼama ongʼeyo ni Jonathan ne osewuok.
4 And between the passages where Jonathan sought to pass over to the station of the Philistines [is] the edge of a rock on one side, and the edge of a rock on the other side, and the name of one is Bozez, and the name of the other Seneh.
E dire koni gi kocha kuma ne Jonathan dwa ngʼado eka ochop e kambi jo-Filistia ne nitie geng got miluongo ni Bozez, to komachielo ne iluongo ni Sene.
5 One edge [is] fixed on the north in front of Michmash, and the one on the south in front of Gibeah.
Geng got achiel ne ni yo nyandwat mane omanyore gi Mikmash, to machielo ne ni yo milambo momanyore gi Geba.
6 And Jonathan says to the young man carrying his weapons, “Come, and we pass over to the station of these uncircumcised; it may be YHWH works for us, for there is no restraint to YHWH to save by many or by few.”
Jonathan ne owacho ne wuowi matingʼo gige lwenje niya, “Bi mondo waidh wadhi e kambi joma ok oter nyangugi. Kamoro dipo ka Jehova Nyasaye nyalo tiyo kodwa. Onge gima nyalo tamo Jehova Nyasaye reso kata ka gin ji mangʼeny kata ka gin ji manok.”
7 And the bearer of his weapons says to him, “Do all that [is] in your heart; turn for yourself; behold, I [am] with you, as your own heart.”
Jatingʼ gige lwenje nodwoke niya, “Tim atima gima ni e chunyi nikech an chunya gi pacha ni kodi.”
8 And Jonathan says, “Behold, we are passing over to the men, and are revealed to them;
Jonathan nowachone niya, “Koro bi, wangʼad wadhi irgi mondo omi ginewa.
9 if they thus say to us, Stand still until we have come to you, then we have stood in our place, and do not go up to them;
Ka giwachonwa ni, ‘Rituru kanyo nyaka wabi iru,’ to wabiro chungʼ achungʼa kama wantie kendo ok wanadhi irgi.
10 and if they thus say, Come up against us, then we have gone up, for YHWH has given them into our hand, and this [is] the sign to us.”
To kagiwacho ni, ‘Biuru irwa,’ to wabiro idho malo, nikech mano biro bedonwa ranyisi ni Jehova Nyasaye oseketogi e lwetwa.”
11 And both of them are revealed to the station of the Philistines, and the Philistines say, “Behold, Hebrews are coming out of the holes where they have hid themselves.”
Omiyo giduto ji ariyogo ne giwuok e lela mondo jo-Filistia manie kambigi onegi. Eka jo-Filistia nowacho niya, “Neuru! Jo-Hibrania mol kawuok ae buche mane gipondoe.”
12 And the men of the station answer Jonathan, and the bearer of his weapons, and say, “Come up to us, and we cause you to know something.” And Jonathan says to the bearer of his weapons, “Come up after me, for YHWH has given them into the hand of Israel.”
Eka ji duto mane ni e kambi nokok ni Jonathan gi jatingʼne gi lwenje niya, “Biuru irwa mondo une gima wabiro timonu.” Omiyo Jonathan nowacho ni jatingʼ gi lwenje niya, “Idh iluwa Jehova Nyasaye oseketogi e lwet jo-Israel.”
13 And Jonathan goes up on his hands, and on his feet, and the bearer of his weapons after him; and they fall before Jonathan, and the bearer of his weapons is putting [them] to death after him.
Jonathan ne idho got kokonyore gi lwetene gi tiendene, to jatingʼ gige lwenje luwo bangʼe. Jo-Filistia nopodho e nyim Jonathan, ka jatingʼ gige lwenje luwo bangʼe kendo negogi.
14 And the first striking which Jonathan and the bearer of his weapons have struck is of about twenty men, in about half a furrow of a yoke of a field,
E kedo mokwongono Jonathan kaachiel gi jatingʼ gige lwenjene nonego ji piero ariyo e alwora mar nus heka.
15 and there is a trembling in the camp, in the field, and among all the people, the station and the destroyers have trembled—even they, and the earth shakes, and it becomes a trembling of God.
Bwok maduongʼ nomako jolweny mane ni e kambi gi mago mane ni e paw lweny, kata mana mago mane ni e kambi matindo tindo kendo piny duto noyiengni. Ne en kihondko moor gi Nyasaye.
16 And the watchmen of Saul in Gibeah of Benjamin see, and behold, the multitude has melted away, and it goes on, and is beaten down.
Jorito mag Saulo mane ni Gibea ei Benjamin noneno ka jolweny jo-Filistia ringo koni gi koni.
17 And Saul says to the people who [are] with him, “Now inspect and see; who has gone from us?” And they inspect, and behold, Jonathan and the bearer of his weapons are not.
Saulo nonyiso joma ne ni kode niya kwanreuru mondo une ni ngʼatno mosewuok e dierwa ka, kane gisetimo kamano negiyudo ni en Jonathan gi jatingʼ gige lwenje ema onge kanyo.
18 And Saul says to Ahiah, “Bring the Ark of God near”; for the Ark of God has been with the sons of Israel on that day.
Saulo nowachone Ahija ni kel Sandug Muma mar Nyasaye mane jo-Israel nigo e kindeno.
19 And it comes to pass, while Saul spoke to the priest, that the noise which [is] in the camp of the Philistines goes on, going on and becoming great, and Saul says to the priest, “Remove your hand.”
Kane Saulo pod wuoyo gi jadolo, to mahu mane ni e kambi jo-Filistia ne medore ameda. Omiyo Saulo nowachone jadolo niya, “Gol lweti ewi Sandug Muma.”
20 And Saul is called, and all the people who [are] with him, and they come to the battle, and behold, the sword of each has been against his neighbor—a very great destruction.
Eka Saulo gi joge nochokore mi gidhi e lweny. Negiyudo ka jo-Filistia pachgi ok ti, kendo gingʼadore gi ligangla kendgi giwegi.
21 And the Hebrews [who] have been with the Philistines before the day prior, who had gone up with them into the camp, have turned around, even they, to be with Israel who [are] with Saul and Jonathan,
Jo-Hibrania mane oyudo konyo jo-Filistia kedo mane ni kodgi e kambi, nodok ir jo-Israel mane nigi Saulo gi Jonathan.
22 and all the men of Israel, who are hiding themselves in the hill-country of Ephraim, have heard that the Philistines have fled, and they pursue—even they—after them in battle.
Kane jo-Israel duto mane oyudo opondo e piny gode man Efraim owinjo ni jo-Filistia ringo, negidonjo e lweny kendo ne gilawogi matek.
23 And YHWH saves Israel on that day, and the battle has passed over to Beth-Aven.
Omiyo Jehova Nyasaye ne oreso jo-Israel chiengʼno, eka lweny nosudo mokadho Beth Aven.
24 And the men of Israel have been distressed on that day, and Saul adjures the people, saying, “Cursed [is] the man who eats food until the evening, and I have been avenged of my enemies”; and none of the people have tasted food.
Koro jo-Israel ne ool ahinya odiechiengno, nikech Saulo ne oketogi ma gikwongʼore ka owacho niya, “Okwongʼ ngʼato angʼata machiemo ka piny pok oyuso, kapok achulo kuor ni wasika!” Omiyo onge ngʼama nobilo chiemo.
25 And all [those of] the land have come into a forest, and there is honey on the face of the field;
To jolweny duto ne odonjo ei bungu to ne nitie mor kich piny.
26 and the people come into the forest, and behold, the honey dropped, and none is moving his hand to his mouth, for the people feared the oath.
Kane gidhi e bungu negineno mor kich ka chwer piny, to kata kamano onge ngʼama ne otero lwete mondo otere e dhoge, nikech negiluoro kwongʼ.
27 And Jonathan has not heard of his father’s adjuring the people, and puts forth the end of the rod, which [is] in his hand, and dips it in the honeycomb, and brings back his hand to his mouth—and his eyes see!
Jonathan to ne ok owinjo ni wuon ne ose kwero ji gi kwongʼ, omiyo nochwowo pedni mar kich gi luth mane ni e lwete. Notingʼo lwete malo motero mor kich e dhoge mi chunye ne odwogo.
28 And a man of the people answers and says, “Your father certainly adjured the people, saying, Cursed [is] the man who eats food today; and the people are weary.”
Eka achiel kuom jolweny nowachone niya, “Wuoru nokwero jolweny matek gi kwongʼ kowacho ni, ‘Okwongʼ ngʼama ochamo chiemo kawuono! Mano ema omiyo ji ool.’”
29 And Jonathan says, “My father has troubled the land; now see that my eyes have become bright because I tasted a little of this honey.
Jonathan nowacho niya, “Wuora osekelo chandruok ne piny. Ne kaka koro Awinjo maber bangʼ bilo mor kich matin.
30 How much more if the people had well eaten today of the spoil of its enemies which it has found, for now the striking has not been great among the Philistines.”
Dine obedo maber manade ka dine ji ochamo gik mamoko moyaki kuom wasigu kawuono. Donge dine wanego jo-Filistia mangʼeny?”
31 And they strike on that day among the Philistines from Michmash to Aijalon, and the people are very weary,
E odiechiengno, bangʼ ka jo-Israel noseloyo jo-Filistia ne gilawogi koa Mikmash nyaka Aijalon kendo ne giol ahinya.
32 and the people make toward the spoil, and take sheep, and oxen, and sons of the herd, and slaughter on the earth, and the people eat with the blood.
Negimuomore kuom gik moyaki, mine gikawo rombe, dhok, gi nyiroye, negiketogi piny migi yangʼogi kendo chamogi ka gitimo remo.
33 And they declare to Saul, saying, “Behold, the people are sinning against YHWH, to eat with the blood.” And he says, “You have dealt treacherously, roll a great stone to me today.”
Eka ngʼato nowachone Saulo niya, “Neye kaka ji timo richo ni Jehova Nyasaye ka gichamo ringʼo motimo remo.” Eka nowacho niya, “Useketho yie. Ngʼielnauru kidi maduongʼno ukel ka.”
34 And Saul says, “Be scattered among the people, and you have said to them: Each bring his ox to me, and each his sheep; and you have slain [them] in this place, and eaten, and you do not sin against YHWH to eat with the blood.” And all the people bring [them]—each one [with] his ox in his hand, that night—and slaughter [them] there.
Eka nowacho niya, “Dhiuru ir oganda kendo unyisgi ni, ‘Ngʼato ka ngʼato kuomu mondo okelna dhogene kod rombege, kendo oneg-gi ka mi uchamgi. Kik utim richo ne Jehova Nyasaye kuom chamo ringʼo motimo remo.’” Omiyo ngʼato ka ngʼato ne okelo rwadhe otienono mine giyangʼogi kanyo.
35 And Saul builds an altar to YHWH; with it he has begun to build altars to YHWH.
Eka Saulo nogero kendo mar misango ne Jehova Nyasaye, mano e chiengʼ mokwongo mane otime ma.
36 And Saul says, “Let us go down after the Philistines by night, and we prey on them until the morning light, and do not leave a man of them.” And they say, “Do all that is good in your eyes.” And the priest says, “Let us draw near to God here.”
Saulo nowacho niya, “Wadhiuru mwalo mondo walaw jo-Filistia gotieno, mondo watiekgi nyaka kogwen kendo moro amora kuomgi kik dongʼ kangima.” Negidwoko niya, “Tim gima ineno ni berni.” To jadolo nowacho niya, “Wapenjuru Nyasaye wach mondi.”
37 And Saul asks of God, “Do I go down after the Philistines? Do You give them into the hand of Israel?” And He has not answered him on that day.
Omiyo Saulo nopenjo Nyasaye niya, “Bende anyalo lawo jo-Filistia? Ibiro ketogi e lwet jo-Israel koso?” To Nyasaye ne ok odwoke chiengʼno.
38 And Saul says, “Everyone draw near here, the chiefs of the people, and know and see in what this sin has been today;
Saulo nowacho niya, “Biuru ka, un duto ma un jotelo mag jolweny, mondo wayud ni richo mane mosetim kawuono.
39 for YHWH lives, who is saving Israel: surely if it is in my son Jonathan, surely he certainly dies”; and none is answering him out of all the people.
Adieri gi nying Jehova Nyasaye ma reso Israel, kata ka en wuoda Jonathan ema wachni omako to nyaka otho.” To onge ngʼat machielo mane owuoyo.
40 And he says to all Israel, “You are on one side, and I and my son Jonathan are on another side”; and the people say to Saul, “Do that which is good in your eyes.”
Saulo nowachone jo-Israel duto niya, “Un chungʼuru konchiel ka an kod Jonathan wuoda to wachungʼ bathe komachielo.” Ji nodwoko niya, “Tim gima ineno ni berni.”
41 And Saul says to YHWH, God of Israel, “Give perfection”; and Jonathan and Saul are captured, and the people went out.
Bangʼe Saulo nolamo Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasach Israel niya, “En angʼo momiyo pod ok idwoko jatichni kawuono? Ka dipo ni iyudo ketho moro kuoma kata kuom wuoda Jonathan, to chiw ombulu miluongo ni Urim, to ka dipo ni jo-Israel ema oketho, ni chiw ombulu miluongo ni Thumim.” Omiyo Saulo gi Jonathan ema noyier gi ombulu, to jo-Israel nowe.
42 And Saul says, “Cast between me and my son Jonathan”; and Jonathan is captured.
Saulo nowacho niya, “Gouru ombulu e kinda gi Jonathan wuoda.” Mi ombulu nolwar kuom Jonathan.
43 And Saul says to Jonathan, “Declare to me, what have you done?” And Jonathan declares to him and says, “I certainly tasted a little honey with the end of the rod that [is] in my hand; behold, I die!”
Eka Saulo nowacho ni Jonathan niya, “Wachna gima isetimo.” Jonathan nowachone niya, “Ne abilo mor kich matin mane ni e dho ludha. Koro ochuno ni nyaka atho?”
44 And Saul says, “Thus God does, and thus does He add, for you certainly die, Jonathan.”
Saulo nowacho niya, “Nyasaye mondo okweda, ka ok itho in Jonathan.”
45 And the people say to Saul, “Does Jonathan die who worked this great salvation in Israel? Certainly not! YHWH lives, if there falls to the earth [even one] hair from his head, for with God he has worked this day”; and the people rescue Jonathan, and he has not died.
To ji nowachone Saulo niya, “Bende Jonathan ditho to en ema osekelo konyruok maduongʼ kama e Israel? Ok nyalre! Akwongʼora gi nying Jehova Nyasaye mangima ni kata yie wiye achiel ok nolwar piny nikech Jehova Nyasaye ema okonye timo ma.” Kamano ji noreso Jonathan kendo ne ok onege.
46 And Saul goes up from after the Philistines, and the Philistines have gone to their place;
Eka Saulo noweyo lawo jo-Filistia mine gidok thurgi.
47 and Saul captured the kingdom over Israel, and he fights all around against all his enemies, against Moab, and against the sons of Ammon, and against Edom, and against the kings of Zobah, and against the Philistines, and wherever he turns he distresses [them].
Bangʼ ka Saulo nosekawo loch e piny Israel, nokedo gi wasikgi koni gi koni kaka jo-Moab, jo-Amon, jo-Edom, gi ruodhi mag Zoba to gi jo-Filistia. Kamoro amora mane odhiye ne osandogi.
48 And he makes a force, and strikes Amalek, and delivers Israel out of the hand of its spoiler.
Nokedo gi chir moloyo jo-Amalek, moreso jo-Israel oa e lwet joma nosebet ka yako gigegi.
49 And the sons of Saul are Jonathan, and Ishui, and Melchi-Shua; as for the name of his two daughters, the name of the firstborn [is] Merab, and the name of the younger Michal;
Yawuot Saulo ne gin Jonathan, Ishvi, gi Malki-Shua. Nying nyare maduongʼ ne en Merab to nyako ma chogo ne nyinge Mikal.
50 and the name of the wife of Saul [is] Ahinoam, daughter of Ahimaaz; and the name of the head of his host [is] Abner son of Ner, uncle of Saul;
Chiege ne nyinge Ahinoam nyar Ahimaz. Jatend jolweny ne Abner wuod Ner, Ner ne en owadgi wuon Saulo.
51 and Kish [is] the father of Saul, and Ner, the father of Abner, [is] the son of Ahiel.
Wuon Saulo ma Kish gi wuon Abner ma wuon Ner ne yawuot Abiel.
52 And the war is severe against the Philistines all the days of Saul; when Saul has seen any mighty man, and any son of valor, then he gathers him to himself.
E ndalo duto mag Saulo ne nitie lweny malit ahinya e kinde gi jo-Filistia, kendo kinde ma Saulo noneno ngʼat maratego kata mathuon to ne okawe mondo obed jalwenje.
