1 Samuel 25
1 And Samuel dies, and all Israel is gathered, and mourns for him, and buries him in his house, in Ramah; and David rises and goes down to the wilderness of Paran.
Koro Samuel notho, kendo Israel duto nochokore moywage; mine giike e dalane Rama. Bangʼe Daudi nowuok molor piny e Thim Paran.
2 And [there is] a man in Maon, and his work [is] in Carmel; and the man [is] very great, and he has three thousand sheep and one thousand goats; and he is shearing his flock in Carmel.
Ne nitie ngʼat moro e piny Maon mane nigi mwandu Karmel, ne en jamoko ahinya. Ne en gi diek alufu achiel gi rombe alufu adek, mane ongʼado yiegi e Karmel.
3 And the name of the man [is] Nabal, and the name of his wife [is] Abigail, and the woman [is] of good understanding, and of beautiful form, and the man [is] hard and evil [in his] doings; and he [is] a Calebite.
Ne iluonge ni Nabal to chiege ne iluongo ni Abigael. Ne en dhako mariek kendo ne ojaber, to chwore ne ja-dhood Kaleb, ne en ngʼama koch, jagwondo kendo ma timbene richo.
4 And David hears in the wilderness that Nabal is shearing his flock,
Kane Daudi ni e thim, nowinjo ni Nabal ngʼado yie rombe.
5 and David sends ten young men, and David says to the young men, “Go up to Carmel, and you have come to Nabal, and asked of him in my name of welfare,
Omiyo nooro yawuowi apar mowachonegi niya, “Dhiuru Karmel ir Nabal mondo umosnago.
6 and said thus to the living: And peace to you, and peace to your house, and peace to all that you have!
Wachneuru ni, ‘Idag amingʼa! Ngimani bende obed maonge tuoche in kaachiel gi odi! Kendo gigi duto obed gi ngima maber!
7 And now, I have heard that you have shearers; now, the shepherds whom you have have been with us, we have not put them to shame, nor has anything been looked after by them, all the days of their being in Carmel.
“‘Koro asewinjo ni ingʼado yie rombi e kindeni. Kane jokwadhi ni kodwa, to ne ok watimonegi marach, kendo e kinde duto mane gin Karmel onge girgi manolal.
8 Ask your young men, and they declare [it] to you, and the young men find grace in your eyes, for we have come on a good day; please give that which your hand finds to your servants and to your son, to David.”
Penj jotiji iwuon kendo gibiro nyisi. Omiyo tim tim ngʼwono ne yawuota ma aorogo kaka wabiro e kinde mag mor. Yie imi wasumbinigi gi wuodi Daudi gimoro amora minyalo miyogi.’”
9 And the young men of David come in, and speak to Nabal according to all these words, in the name of David—and rest.
Kane jo-Daudi ochopo neginyiso Nabal wach ote Daudi, eka negirito.
10 And Nabal answers the servants of David and says, “Who [is] David, and who [is] the son of Jesse? Have servants been multiplied today who are each breaking away from his master?
Nabal nodwoko jotich Daudi niya, “Daudi-ni to en ngʼa? Wuod Jesseni to en ngʼa? Jotich mangʼeny ndaloni ngʼanyo ne ruodhigi.
11 And have I taken my bread, and my water, and my flesh, which I slaughtered for my shearers, and have given [it] to men whom I have not known where they [are] from?”
Angʼo momiyo dakaw kuona gi piga to gi ringa ma aseyangʼo ne jongʼadna yie rombe mondo ami joma akia kuma oaye?”
12 And the young men of David turn on their way, and turn back, and come in, and declare to him according to all these words.
Jo-Daudi nowichore mi odok. Kane gichopo, neginyiso Daudi weche duto.
13 And David says to his men, “Each gird on his sword”; and they each gird on his sword, and David also girds on his sword, and about four hundred men go up after David, and two hundred have remained by the vessels.
Daudi nowachone joge niya, “Kawuru liganglau!” Omiyo negikawo liganglagi Daudi bende nokawo mare. Ji madirom mia angʼwen nodhi gi Daudi, to mia ariyo nodongʼ karito gigegi.
14 And one young man of the youths has declared [it] to Abigail wife of Nabal, saying, “Behold, David has sent messengers out of the wilderness to bless our lord, and he flies on them;
Achiel kuom jotich nonyiso chi Nabal ma Abigael niya, “Daudi nooro joote koa e thim mondo obi omos jaduongʼwa, to nobayonegi wach.
15 and the men [are] very good to us, and have not put us to shame, and we have not looked after anything all the days we have gone up and down with them, in our being in the field;
Kata kamano jogi noritowa maber ahinya. Ne ok gitimonwa marach, to bende e kinde mane wan oko e pap kodgi onge gimoro mane olal.
16 they have been a wall to us both by night and by day, all the days of our being with them, feeding the flock.
Otieno gi odiechiengʼ ne gibedonwa ka ohinga molworowa kinde duto ka wakwayo rombewa butgi.
17 And now, know and consider what you do; for evil has been determined against our lord, and against all his house, and he [is] too much a son of worthlessness to be spoken to.”
Koro par ane wach kendo ne gima inyalo timo, nikech chandruok dhi biro ne ruodhwa gi joge duto. Nikech en ngʼat ma achach maonge ngʼama nyalo wuoyo kode.”
18 And Abigail hurries, and takes two hundred loaves, and two bottles of wine, and five sheep, prepared, and five measures of roasted grain, and one hundred bunches of raisins, and two hundred bunches of figs, and sets [them] on the donkeys.
Abigael ne ok oketho seche. Nokawo makati mia ariyo, ndede ariyo mar divai, rombe abich moyangʼ gi chamb aloda madirom kilo piero adek gabiriyo, olemb raisin mongʼin maromo mia achiel, gi olemb ngʼowu molos mopamore moromo mia ariyo, eka noketogi e punde.
19 And she says to her young men, “Pass over before me; behold, I am coming after you”; and she has not declared [it] to her husband Nabal;
Eka nowachone jotije niya, “Dhiuru nyime an abiro bangʼu.” To ne ok onyiso chwore ma Nabal.
20 and it has come to pass, she is riding on the donkey and is coming down in the secret part of the hill-country, and behold, David and his men are coming down to meet her, and she meets them.
Kane oyudo odhi koidho pundane e hoho manie got, to nyime kanyo noneno Daudi gi joge kalor e got biro kochome kendo noromo kodgi.
21 And David said, “Surely in vain I have kept all that this [one] has in the wilderness, and nothing has been looked after of all that he has, and he turns back to me evil for good;
Daudi noyudo osewacho niya, “Kara ne en gima nono ka athagora gi rito mwandu ngʼatni e thim, maonge kata mana gire mane olal. To osechula mana rach kar ber mane atimone.
22 thus God does to the enemies of David, and thus He adds, if I leave of all that he has until the morning light—of those sitting on the wall.”
Mad Nyasaye kum Daudi malit ka dipo ni kiny piny orune ngʼato angʼata madichwo e dala maweyo kapod ngima!”
23 And Abigail sees David, and hurries and comes down from off the donkey, and falls on her face before David, and bows herself to the earth,
Kane Abigael oneno Daudi nolor piyo koa e pundane mane oidho mine mokulore e nyim Daudi nyaka e lowo.
24 and falls at his feet and says, “On me, my lord, the iniquity; and please let your handmaid speak in your ear, and hear the words of your handmaid.
Nopodho piny e tiend Daudi mi owacho kama: “Ruodha we rach obed e wiya awuon. Kiyie to we jatichni owuo kodi; winj gima jatichni dwa wacho.
25 Please do not let my lord set his heart to this man of worthlessness, on Nabal, for as his name [is] so [is] he; Nabal [is] his name, and folly [is] with him; and I, your handmaid, did not see the young men of my lord whom you sent;
Mad ruodha mondo kik odew ngʼat ma achach ma Nabal. Ochalo mana gi nyinge, nyinge tiende ni ngʼat mofuwo, kendo otimo tim fuwo kuonde duto. An to ne ok aneno joma ne ruodha ooro.
26 and now, my lord, YHWH lives, and your soul lives, in that YHWH has withheld you from coming in with blood, and to save your hand from yourself—now let your enemies be as Nabal, even those seeking evil toward my lord.
“Emomiyo koro ruodha, Jehova Nyasaye oseriti mondo kik ichwer remo kendo mondo kik ichul kuor gi lweti to akwongʼora gi nying Jehova Nyasaye mangima kendo gi in iwuon ni mad wasiki kod ji duto machano timoni marach ochal gi Nabal.
27 And now, this blessing which your maidservant has brought to my lord—it has been given to the young men who are going up and down at the feet of my lord.
Yie mondo michni, ma jatichni osekelo ni ruodha, mondo omi joma luwi.
28 Please bear with the transgression of your handmaid, for YHWH certainly makes a steadfast house for my lord; for my lord has fought the battles of YHWH, and evil is not found in you [all] your days.
“Yie iwene jatichni kethone, nimar Jehova Nyasaye nyaka nomi dhood ruodha loch mosiko, nikech okedo lwenje mag Jehova Nyasaye. Kik iyie ketho moro oyud kuomi kapod ingima.
29 And man rises to pursue you and to seek your soul, and the soul of my lord has been bound in the bundle of life with your God YHWH; as for the soul of your enemies, He slings them out in the midst of the hollow of the sling.
Kata obedo ni ngʼato lawi mondo otiek ngimani, to ngima mar ruodha notwe motegno gi kanyakla mar joma ngima gi Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachi. To ngima wasiki to nowit mabor mana ka gima odir gorujre.
30 And it has been, when YHWH does to my lord according to all the good which He has spoken concerning you, and appointed you for leader over Israel,
Kane Jehova Nyasaye osetimo ni ruodha gik mabeyo duto manosingone mi okete jatend jo-Israel,
31 that this is not to you for a stumbling-block, and for an offense of heart to my lord—either to shed blood for nothing, or my lord’s restraining himself; and YHWH has done good to my lord, and you have remembered your handmaid.”
to chuny ruodha ok nochandre nine ochwero remo mane ok onego chwer kata chulo kuor ne en wuon. To ka Jehova Nyasaye osemiyo ruodha loch to mondo ipar jatichni.”
32 And David says to Abigail, “Blessed [is] YHWH, God of Israel, who has sent you to meet me this day,
Daudi nowachone Abigael niya, “Pak obed ni Jehova Nyasaye, Nyasach Israel, moseori kawuononi mondo irom koda.
33 and blessed [is] your discretion, and blessed [are] you in that you have restrained me this day from coming in with blood, and to restrain my hand to myself.
Mad gwedhi kuom ngʼado buchi maber kendo kuom gengʼa mondo kik achwer remo kawuononi mar chulo kuor gi lwetena awuon.
34 And yet, YHWH lives, God of Israel, who has kept me back from doing evil with you, for unless you had hurried, and come to meet me, surely there had not been left to Nabal until the morning light, of those sitting on the wall.”
Ka ok kamano, to akwongʼora gi nying Jehova Nyasaye mangima ma Nyasach Israel, mosegengʼa mondo kik ahinyi, ka dine ok ibiro piyo mondo iromna, to dine ok odongʼ dichwo moro amora ka Nabal.”
35 And David receives from her hand that which she has brought to him, and he has said to her, “Go up in peace to your house; see, I have listened to your voice, and accept your face.”
Eka Daudi noyie mokawo gik mane osekelone mi owacho niya, “Dhi dala gi kwe. Asewinjo wecheni kendo aseyie gi kwayoni.”
36 And Abigail comes to Nabal, and behold, he has a banquet in his house, like a banquet of the king, and the heart of Nabal [is] glad within him, and he [is] drunk to excess, and she has not declared anything to him, little or much, until the morning light.
Ka Abigael nodhi ir Nabal ne en e ot kotimo Sawo maduongʼ ka mar ruoth. Ne omor ahinya bende ne omer. To ok nowachone gimoro nyaka piny noru.
37 And it comes to pass in the morning, when the wine is gone out from Nabal, that his wife declares these things to him, and his heart dies within him, and he has been as a stone.
To ka nochopo okinyi ka Nabal kongʼo noserumo e wangʼe, chiege nowachone gik moko duto, mi chunye notho mochalo ka kidi.
38 And it comes to pass [in] about ten days, that YHWH strikes Nabal and he dies,
Bangʼ ndalo apar, eka Jehova Nyasaye nogoyo Nabal mi notho.
39 and David hears that Nabal [is] dead and says, “Blessed [is] YHWH who has pleaded the cause of my reproach from the hand of Nabal, and His servant has kept back from evil, and YHWH has turned back the wickedness of Nabal on his own head”; and David sends and speaks with Abigail, to take her to himself for a wife.
Kane Daudi owinjo ni Nabal osetho, nowacho niya, “Pak obed ne Jehova Nyasaye, mosechulo kuor kuom ajara mane Nabal ojarago. Osegengʼo jatichne mondo kik otim marach mi oseketo timbene maricho e wiye owuon.” Eka Daudi nooro wach ne Abigael, kopenje mondo obed chiege.
40 And the servants of David come to Abigail at Carmel, and speak to her, saying, “David has sent us to you to take you to himself for a wife.”
Jotichne ne odhi Karmel mowachone Abigael niya, “Daudi oseorowa iri mondo wateri ire idhi ibed chiege.”
41 And she rises and bows herself—face to the earth—and says, “Behold, your handmaid [is] for a maidservant to wash the feet of the servants of my lord.”
Nokulore piny ka okulo wiye piny auma mochopo e lowo mine owacho, “Jatichni madhako nika, oikore mar tiyonu kendo luoko tiend jotich ruodha.”
42 And Abigail hurries and rises, and rides on the donkey; and [there are] five of her young women who are going at her feet; and she goes after the messengers of David, and is to him for a wife.
Abigael noidho punda piyo piyo ka jotije abich hike kendo rite, negidhi gi joote Daudi mobedo chiege.
43 And David has taken Ahinoam from Jezreel, and they are—even both of them—for wives to him;
Daudi noyudo osekendo Ahinoam ma nyar Jezreel, to giduto ne gin mond Daudi.
44 and Saul gave his daughter Michal, David’s wife, to Phalti son of Laish, who [is] of Gallim.
To Saulo nosekawo nyare ma Mikal, mane chi Daudi mi omiyo Paltiel wuod Laish mane ja-Galim.
