1 Samuel 23
1 And they declare to David, saying, “Behold, the Philistines are fighting against Keilah, and they are spoiling the threshing-floors.”
Kane owach ne Daudi niya, “Ne jo-Filistia kedo gi jo-Keila kendo giyako gik man e laru mar dino cham,”
2 And David inquires of YHWH, saying, “Do I go? And have I struck among these Philistines?” And YHWH says to David, “Go, and you have struck among the Philistines, and saved Keilah.”
nopenjo Jehova Nyasaye niya, “Bende owinjore adhi kendo amonj jo-Filistia-gi?” Jehova Nyasaye nodwoke niya, “Dhiyo, mondo imonj jo-Filistia kendo ires Keila.”
3 And David’s men say to him, “Behold, we here in Judah are afraid; and how much more when we go to Keilah, to the ranks of the Philistines?”
To jo-Daudi nowachone niya, “Ka Juda ka ema waluorie. Dobednwa machalo nade ka wadhi Keila mondo waked gi jolweny mag Filistia!”
4 And David adds again to inquire of YHWH, and YHWH answers him and says, “Rise, go down to Keilah, for I am giving the Philistines into your hand.”
Daudi nopenjo Jehova Nyasaye kendo mi Jehova Nyasaye nodwoke ne, “Lor idhi Keila nimar adhi chiwo jo-Filistia e lweti.”
5 And David goes, and his men, to Keilah, and fights with the Philistines, and leads away their livestock, and strikes among them [with] a great striking, and David saves the inhabitants of Keilah.
Omiyo Daudi gi joge nodhi Keila, mokedo gi jo-Filistia kendo opeyo jambgi. Nonego jo-Filistia mangʼeny mine oreso jo-Keila.
6 And it comes to pass, in the fleeing of Abiathar son of Ahimelech to David, to Keilah, an ephod came down in his hand.
Koro Abiathar wuod Ahimelek nosebiro gi law mayom mar dolo miluongo ni efod e kinde mane oringo kodhi ir Daudi Keila.
7 And it is declared to Saul that David has come to Keilah, and Saul says, “God has made him known for my hand, for he has been shut in, to enter into a city of doors and bar.”
Nowach ne Saulo ni Daudi nosedhi Keila, omiyo nowacho niya, “Nyasaye osechiwe e lweta, nimar Daudi osetwere owuon ka odonjo e dala man-gi rangeye kod lodi.”
8 And Saul summons all the people to the battle, to go down to Keilah, to lay siege to David and to his men.
Omiyo Saulo noluongo joge duto makedo ne lweny, mondo gilor gidhi Keila kendo gigengʼ ne Daudi gi joge.
9 And David knows that Saul is devising the evil against him and says to Abiathar the priest, “Bring the ephod near.”
Kane Daudi owinjo ni Saulo chano yor yude nowachone Abiathar jadolo niya, “Kel law akor mar law mayom mar dolo miluongo ni efod.”
10 And David says, “YHWH, God of Israel, Your servant has certainly heard that Saul is seeking to come to Keilah, to destroy the city on my account.
Daudi nowacho niya, “Yaye Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasach Israel, jatichni osewinjo gadiera ni Saulo chano biro Keila mondo oketh dala nikech an.
11 Do the possessors of Keilah shut me up into his hand? Does Saul come down as Your servant has heard? YHWH, God of Israel, please declare [it] to Your servant.” And YHWH says, “He comes down.”
Bende jo-Keila nochiwane? To bende Saulo biro biro ka kaka jatichni osewinjo? Yaye Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasach Israel, nyis jatichni.” Eka Jehova Nyasaye nodwoko niya, “Obiro biro.”
12 And David says, “Do the possessors of Keilah shut up me and my men into the hand of Saul?” And YHWH says, “They shut [you] up.”
Daudi nopenjo kendo niya, “Jo-Keila biro chiwa kaachiel gi joga ne Saulo.” To Jehova Nyasaye nowacho niya, “Gibiro timo kamano.”
13 And David rises—and his men—about six hundred men, and they go out from Keilah, and go up and down where they go up and down; and it has been declared to Saul that David has escaped from Keilah, and he ceases to go out.
Omiyo Daudi gi joge maromo mia auchiel, nowuok Keila mine giwuotho koni gi kocha ka gisiko gidar. Kane Saulo owinjo ni Daudi nosetony mowuok Keila ne ok odhi kuno.
14 And David abides in the wilderness, in fortresses, and abides in the hill-country, in the wilderness of Ziph; and Saul seeks him [for] all the days, and God has not given him into his hand.
Daudi nodak e kuonde mag pondo manie thim kendo e gode mag Thim Zif; odiechiengʼ ka odiechiengʼ Saulo ne osiko ka dware, to Nyasaye ne ok oketo Daudi e lwete.
15 And David sees that Saul has come out to seek his life, and David [is] in the wilderness of Ziph, in a forest.
Kane Daudi ni Horesh man e thim Zif noyudo wach ni Saulo nosewuok mondo otiek ngimane.
16 And Jonathan son of Saul rises, and goes to David [in the] forest, and strengthens his hand in God,
To Jonathan wuod Saulo nodhi Horesh ir Daudi mokonye koduogo chunye mondo oyud teko moa kuom Nyasaye.
17 and says to him, “Do not fear, for the hand of my father Saul does not find you, and you reign over Israel, and I am to you for second, and also so knows my father Saul.”
Nowacho niya, “Kik iluor. Saulo wuora ok bi timi gimoro. Ibiro bedo ruodh Israel, to an abiro bedo jalupni. Kata Saulo wuora ongʼeyo mano.”
18 And both of them make a covenant before YHWH; and David abides in the forest, and Jonathan has gone to his house.
Kargi ji ariyogi negisingore e nyim Jehova Nyasaye. Eka Jonathan nodhi dala to Daudi to nodongʼ Horesh.
19 And the Ziphites go up to Saul at Gibeah, saying, “Is David not hiding himself with us in fortresses, in the forest, in the height of Hachilah, which [is] on the south of the desolate place?
Jo-Zif nodhi Gibea ir Saulo mi giwachone ne, “Donge Daudi opondo kuomwa e kuonde pondo Horesh ewi got Hakila, mantie yo milambo mar Jeshimon?
20 And now, by all the desire of your soul, O king, to come down, come down, and ours [is] to shut him up into the hand of the king.”
Koroni, yaye Ruoth, inyalo biro sa moro amora midwaro biroe, to obiro bedo wachwa mondo wachiwe ne ruoth.”
21 And Saul says, “Blessed [are] you of YHWH, for you have pity on me;
Saulo nodwoko niya, “Jehova Nyasaye mondo ogwedhu kuom timona maber.
22 now go prepare yet, and know and see his place where his foot is; who has seen him there? For [one] has said to me, He is very cunning.
Dhiuru kendo umed ikoru. Nonuru mondo ungʼe kuma Daudi jadhiyoe kod ngʼat mosenene kuno. Gisenyisa ni en ngʼama yoreyore ahinya.
23 And see and know of all the hiding places where he hides himself, and you have turned back prepared to me, and I have gone with you, and it has been, if he is in the land, that I have searched him out through all the thousands of Judah.”
Nonuru konde duto mopondoe gi kuonde duto motiyogo, eka uduogna wach mobidhore. Bangʼe anadhi kodu; ka dipo ni en kanyo, to abiro dware e dhoudi duto mag Juda.”
24 And they rise and go to Ziph before Saul, and David and his men [are] in the wilderness of Maon, in the plain, at the south of the desolate place.
Kuom mano ne giwuok mi gidhi Zif motelone Saulo. Daudi gi joge to ne ni e Thim Maon man Araba yo milambo mar Jeshimon.
25 And Saul and his men go to seek, and they declare [it] to David, and he goes down the rock, and abides in the wilderness of Maon; and Saul hears, and pursues after David [to] the wilderness of Maon.
Saulo gi joge nochako dwero, ka nowach ne Daudi wachno, nolor mwalo e lwanda mi nobet e Thim man Maon. Kane Saulo owinjo ma, nodhi e Thim man Maon kolawo Daudi.
26 And Saul goes on this side of the mountain, and David and his men on that side of the mountain, and David is hurried to go from the face of Saul, and Saul and his men are surrounding David and his men, to catch them.
Saulo ne dhi e bath got konchiel to Daudi gi joge ne ni e bathe kumachielo, ka giringo mondo gi yomb Saulo. Ka Saulo gi jolwenje ne chiegni juko Daudi gi joge mondo gimakgi,
27 And a messenger has come to Saul, saying, “Hurry, and come, for the Philistines have pushed against the land.”
jaote nobiro ir Saulo, mowacho niya, “Bi piyo! Jo-Filistia osebiro monjo piny.”
28 And Saul turns back from pursuing after David, and goes to meet the Philistines, therefore they have called that place “The Rock of Divisions.”
Eka Saulo noweyo lawo Daudi mi odhi rado gi jo-Filistia. Mano emomiyo iluongo kanyo ni Sela Hamalekoth.
29 And David goes up there, and abides in fortresses [at] En-gedi.
To Daudi nodhi malo koa kanyo modak e kuonde pondo mag En Gedi.
