1 Samuel 18
1 And it comes to pass, when he finishes to speak to Saul, that the soul of Jonathan has been bound to the soul of David, and Jonathan loves him as his own soul.
Kane Daudi osetieko wuoyo gi Saulo, chuny Daudi nowinjore gi mar Jonathan gi Daudi mine ohere mana kaka oherore owuon.
2 And Saul takes him on that day, and has not permitted him to return to the house of his father.
Koa odiechiengno Saulo nokawo Daudi kendo ne ok ochako odok dalagi ir wuon-gi.
3 And Jonathan makes—David also—a covenant, because he loves him as his own soul,
Jonathan nokwongʼore gi Daudi nikech ne ohere mana kaka oherore owuon.
4 and Jonathan strips himself of the upper robe which [is] on him, and gives it to David, and his long robe, even to his sword, and to his bow, and to his girdle.
Jonathan nogolo lawe mane orwako momiyo Daudi, nomiye lawe mar akor, gi liganglane bende, atungʼ gi okandane.
5 And David goes out wherever Saul sends him; he acted wisely, and Saul sets him over the men of war, and it is good in the eyes of all the people, and also in the eyes of the servants of Saul.
Gimoro amora mane Saulo oore mondo otim, Daudi ne timo maber ahinya kuom mano Saulo nomiye rangʼiny mamalo e lweny. Ma nomiyo ji duto mor nyaka jotend lweny mag Saulo bende.
6 And it comes to pass, in their coming in, in David’s returning from striking the Philistine, that the women come out from all the cities of Israel to sing—also the dancers—to meet Saul the king, with tambourines, with joy, and with three-stringed instruments;
Kane ji duogo dala bangʼ ka Daudi nosenego ja-Filistia, mon nowuok e mier matindo duto mag Israel mondo oromne Ruoth Saulo ka giwer kendo gimiel, ka igoyo tamborin gi asili.
7 and the women answer—those playing, and say, “Saul has struck among his thousands, And David among his myriads.”
Kane gimiel, ne giwer niya, “Saulo onego ji alufe, to Daudi onego ji alufe gi alufe.”
8 And it is exceedingly displeasing to Saul, and this thing is evil in his eyes, and he says, “They have given myriads to David, and they have given the thousands to me, and what more [is there] for him but the kingdom?”
Saulo ne okecho ahinya nikech wendno nochwanye, mi nowacho e chunye niya, “Ere kaka gisemiyo Daudi alufe gi alufe; to an to gimiya mana alufe kende. Angʼo modongʼne makoro ok doyudi ma kata bedo ruoth?”
9 And Saul is eyeing David from that day and from then on.
Kochakore chiengʼno Saulo nochako bedo gi nyiego gi Daudi.
10 And it comes to pass, on the next day, that the spirit of sadness [from] God prospers over Saul, and he prophesies in the midst of the house, and David is playing with his hand, as [he did] day by day, and the javelin [is] in the hand of Saul,
Kinyne Nyasaye nochiwo thuolo ne roho marach mobiro gi teko modonjo kuom Saulo. Noyudo okoro wach e ode, ka Daudi to ne goyo nyatiti kaka ne ojagoyo pile. Saulo ne nigi tongʼ e lwete
11 and Saul casts the javelin and says, “I strike through David, even through the wall”; and David turns around out of his presence twice.
kendo nodiro tongʼ kowacho e chunye niya, “Abiro chwowo Daudi mariw gi kor ot.” To Daudi nolengʼe nyadiriyo.
12 And Saul is afraid of the presence of David, for YHWH has been with him, and He has turned aside from Saul;
Saulo noluoro Daudi nikech Jehova Nyasaye noseweye, to ne ni kod Daudi.
13 and Saul turns him aside from him, and appoints him to himself [for] head of one thousand, and he goes out and comes in, before the people.
Omiyo nogolo Daudi mondo oa bute mi nokete mondo obed jatend jolweny alufu achiel, kendo Daudi notelonegi e lwenje mane gidhiye.
14 And David is acting wisely in all his ways, and YHWH [is] with him,
Gik moko ne dhi kode maber e gimoro amora mane otimo nikech Jehova Nyasaye ne ni kode.
15 and Saul sees that he is acting very wisely, and is afraid of him,
Kane Saulo oneno kaka odhi maber, mine oluore.
16 and all Israel and Judah love David when he is going out and coming in before them.
To jo-Israel duto gi jo-Juda duto ne ohero Daudi nikech notelonegi e lwenjegi.
17 And Saul says to David, “Behold, my elder daughter Merab—I give her to you for a wife; only, be for a son of valor to me, and fight the battles of YHWH”; and Saul said, “Do not let my hand be on him, but let the hand of the Philistines be on him.”
Saulo nowachone Daudi niya, “Ma en Merab nyara maduongʼ. Abiro miyigo mondo ikende; to mana ka inyalo kedona gi chir ka ikedo lwenje mag Jehova Nyasaye.” Nimar Saulo nowacho e chunye niya, “Ok abi keto lweta kuome. We jo-Filistia ema otim mano!”
18 And David says to Saul, “Who [am] I? And what [is] my life—the family of my father in Israel—that I am son-in-law of the king?”
To Daudi nowachone ne Saulo niya, “Anto an ngʼa kata anywolana kata dhood gi wuora gin angʼo e Israel ma dimi abed or ruoth?”
19 And it comes to pass, at the time of the giving of Merab daughter of Saul to David, that she has been given to Adriel the Meholathite for a wife.
Kane ndalo ochopo mane Merab nyar Saulo onego omi Daudi, ne omiye Adriel ja-Mehola mondo okende.
20 And Michal daughter of Saul loves David, and they declare [it] to Saul, and the thing is right in his eyes,
Koro Mikal nyar Saulo nohero Daudi, omiyo kane ginyiso Saulo wachno, to Saulo nobedo mamor.
21 and Saul says, “I give her to him, and she is for a snare to him, and the hand of the Philistines is on him”; and Saul says to David, “By the second—you become my son-in-law today.”
Saulo noparo e chunye niya, “Abiro miyego, mondo obedne obadho mondo omi jo-Filistia oyude.” Omiyo Saulo nowachone Daudi niya, “Koro in-gi thuolo mar ariyo mondo ibed ora.”
22 And Saul commands his servants, “Speak to David gently, saying, Behold, the king has delighted in you, and all his servants have loved you, and now, be son-in-law of the king.”
Eka Saulo nochiko jotichne niya, “Wuouru gi Daudi lingʼ-lingʼ kendo wachneuru ni, ‘Winji, ruoth mor kodi kendo jotije duto bende oheri koro bed ore.’”
23 And the servants of Saul speak these words in the ears of David, and David says, “Is it a light thing in your eyes to be son-in-law of the king—and I a poor man, and lightly esteemed?”
Neginwoyo wechego ne Daudi. To Daudi nowacho niya, “Uparo ni en wach mayot mar bedo or ruoth? An mana ngʼama odhier bende ok angʼera.”
24 And the servants of Saul declare [it] to him, saying, “David has spoken according to these words.”
Kane jotije Saulo onyise gima Daudi nowacho,
25 And Saul says, “Thus you say to David, There is no delight for the king in dowry, but in one hundred foreskins of the Philistines—to be avenged on the enemies of the king”; and Saul thought to cause David to fall by the hand of the Philistines.
Saulo nodwoko niya, “Wachneuru Daudi ni, ‘Ruoth ok dwar ni inyombne, eka ikaw nyare, to odwaro mana ni mondo ikelne ringre jo-Filistia mia achiel (ma en pien duongʼ-gi), mondo ochulgo kuor ne wasike.’” Chenro mar Saulo ne en ni mondo Daudi opodhie lwet jo-Filistia.
26 And his servants declare these words to David, and the thing is right in the eyes of David, to be son-in-law of the king; and the days have not been full,
Kane jotij Saulo onyiso Daudi wechego nobedo mamor bedo or ruoth. Kane kinde moket pok orumo,
27 and David rises and goes, he and his men, and strikes two hundred men among the Philistines, and David brings in their foreskins, and they set them before the king, to be son-in-law of the king; and Saul gives his daughter Michal to him for a wife.
Daudi gi joge nodhi monego jo-Filistia mia ariyo. Nokelo ringregi (ma en pien duongʼ-gi) kendo nochiwo kar kwan-ka duto mondo omi obed or ruoth. Eka Saulo nomiye Mikal nyare mi okendo.
28 And Saul sees and knows that YHWH [is] with David, and Michal daughter of Saul has loved him,
Kane Saulo ofwenyo ni Jehova Nyasaye nigi Daudi kendo ni Mikal nyare ohero Daudi.
29 and Saul adds to be afraid of the presence of David still; and Saul is an enemy of David [for] all the days.
Saulo nomedo luore, kendo nosiko ka en jasike e ndalo duto mag ngimane.
30 And the princes of the Philistines come out, and it comes to pass from the time of their coming out, David has acted more wisely than any of the servants of Saul, and his name is very precious.
Jotend lweny mag jo-Filistia ne medo dhi e lweny, kendo kaka negimedo dhi e kaka Daudi bende ne locho moloyo jotelo mamoko mag Saulo kendo nomedo ngʼere.
