2 Samuel 1
1 And it comes to pass after the death of Saul, that David has returned from striking the Amalekite, and David dwells in Ziklag [for] two days,
Bangʼ kane Saulo osetho, Daudi noduogo koa e lweny mane oloyoe jo-Amalek mi nonindo Ziklag ndalo ariyo.
2 and it comes to pass, on the third day, that behold, a man has come in out of the camp from Saul, and his garments [are] torn, and earth [is] on his head; and it comes to pass in his coming to David, that he falls to the earth and pays respect.
Chiengʼ mar adek ngʼato nobiro koa e kambi mar Saulo korwako lewni moyiech to wiye otimo buru, kane ochopo ir Daudi nokulore nyaka piny komiye duongʼ.
3 And David says to him, “Where do you come from?” And he says to him, “I have escaped out of the camp of Israel.”
Daudi nopenje niya, “Ia kanye?” Nodwoke niya, “Atony kawuok e kambi mar jo-Israel.”
4 And David says to him, “What has been the matter? Please declare [it] to me.” And he says, “That the people have fled from the battle, and also a multitude of the people have fallen, and they die; and also Saul and his son Jonathan have died.”
Daudi nopenjo niya, “Wachnane, angʼo manotimore?” Nodwoke niya, “Ji noringo kawuok e lweny. Ngʼenygi nonegi kendo Saulo gi Jonathan wuode bende otho.”
5 And David says to the youth who is declaring [it] to him, “How have you known that Saul and his son Jonathan [are] dead?”
Eka Daudi nowachone wuowi mane okelone wach niya, “Ere kaka ingʼeyo ni Saulo gi wuode Jonathan osetho?”
6 And the youth who is declaring [it] to him says, “I happened to meet in Mount Gilboa, and behold, Saul is leaning on his spear; and behold, the chariots and those possessing horses have followed him;
Wuowino nodwoke niya, “Ne oyudo ka an e got Gilboa kendo ne aneno Saulo kochwowore gi tongʼe, ka geche lweny kod joidhgi mane lawe ne chiegni juke.”
7 and he turns behind him, and sees me, and calls to me, and I say, Here I [am].
Kane olokore monena, noluonga, mine apenje ni, Angʼo midwaro mondo atim?
8 And he says to me, Who [are] you? And I say to him, I [am] an Amalekite.
“Nopenja ni, ‘In ngʼa?’ “Ne adwoke ni, ‘An ja-Amalek.’
9 And he says to me, Please stand over me and put me to death, for the arrow has seized me, for all my soul [is] still in me.
“Eka nowachona ni, ‘Sud ira ka mondo inega! Nikech awinjo rem malit to ngimana pod nitie.’
10 And I stand over him, and put him to death, for I knew that he does not live after his falling, and I take the crown which [is] on his head, and the bracelet which [is] on his arm, and bring them to my lord here.”
“Omiyo ne asudo bute mi anege, nikech ne angʼeyo ni kaka ne osepodho ne ok onyal chungʼ malo mi otony. Ne akawo osimbo mar loch mane ni e wiye gi bangli mane ni e kor bade kendo asekelogi ka ni ruodha.”
11 And David takes hold on his garments, and tears them, and also all the men who [are] with him,
Eka Daudi gi joma nenikode nomako lepgi moyiecho.
12 and they mourn, and weep, and fast until the evening, for Saul, and for his son Jonathan, and for the people of YHWH, and for the house of Israel, because they have fallen by the sword.
Negikuyo ka giywak kendo ka giriyo kech nyaka ochopo odhiambo, ka giywago Saulo gi wuode Jonathan, to gi jolweny mag Jehova Nyasaye to gi jo-Israel, nikech ne oseneg-gi gi ligangla.
13 And David says to the youth who is declaring [it] to him, “Where [are] you from?” And he says, “I [am] the son of a sojourner, an Amalekite.”
Daudi nowacho ni rawera mane okelone wach niya, “In jakanye?” Nodwoke niya, “An wuod jadak ma ja-Amalek.”
14 And David says to him, “How were you not afraid to put forth your hand to destroy the anointed of YHWH?”
Daudi nopenje niya, “Angʼo momiyo ne ok iluor mar tingʼo badi kinego ngʼat Jehova Nyasaye mowir?”
15 And David calls to one of the youths and says, “Draw near—fall on him”; and he strikes him, and he dies;
Eka Daudi noluongo achiel kuom joge mowachone niya, “Dhi inege!” Omiyo ngʼatno nochwowe motho.
16 and David says to him, “Your blood [is] on your own head, for your mouth has testified against you, saying, I put to death the anointed of YHWH.”
Nimar Daudi nosewachone niya, “Rembi obedi e wiyi iwuon. Dhogi ema osebedo janeno mari ka iwacho ni, ‘Asenego ngʼat Jehova Nyasaye mowir.’”
17 And David laments with this lamentation over Saul, and over his son Jonathan;
Daudi nochwogo wend ywak miywagogo Saulo gi wuode Jonathan,
18 and he says to teach the sons of Judah “The Bow”; behold, it is written on the Scroll of the Upright:
kendo nochiko mondo opuonj jo-Juda wend ywak mar atungʼ mondiki e Kitabu mar Jasher kama:
19 “The beauty of Israel [Is] wounded on your high places; How the mighty have fallen!
“Yaye Israel, jogi moluor oriere piny konegi e gode maboyo. Mano kaka roteke osepodho.
20 Do not declare [it] in Gath, Do not proclaim the tidings in the streets of Ashkelon, Lest they rejoice—The daughters of the Philistines, Lest they exult—The daughters of the uncircumcised!
“Kik iwach wachni e piny Gath, kik ihul wachni e yore man Ashkelon, nono to dimi nyi jo-Filistia bed moil, bende dimi nyi joma ok oter nyangu bed moil.
21 Mountains of Gilboa! No dew nor rain be on you, And fields of raised-offerings! For there has become loathsome The shield of the mighty, The shield of Saul—without the anointed with oil.
“Yaye gode mag Gilboa, mad ibed maonge thoo kata koth, kata puothe machiego cham michiwo. Nimar kanyo ema ne odwanye kuodi mag joma rateke, kuodi mag Saulo, tinde ok wir gi mo.
22 From the blood of the wounded, From the fat of the mighty, The bow of Jonathan Has not turned backward; And the sword of Saul does not return empty.
Koa kuom remb joma nonegi, koa kuom ringre joma rateke, atungʼ mar Jonathan ne ok odwogo, ligangla mar Saulo ne ok odwogo nono.
23 Saul and Jonathan! They are loved and pleasant in their lives, And in their death they have not been parted. They have been lighter than eagles, They have been mightier than lions!
“Saulo gi Jonathan ne oher kendo ne gin joma longʼo kane gingima, kendo e kinde thogi ne ok gipogore. Negiringo matek maloyo ongo, kendo ne gitek maloyo sibuor.
24 Daughters of Israel! Weep for Saul, Who is clothing you [in] scarlet with delights. Who is lifting up ornaments of gold on your clothing.
“Yaye nyi Israel, ywaguru Saulo, mane orwakou gi lewni makwar kendo marep-rep, mane oduso lepu gi gik molos gi dhahabu.
25 How the mighty have fallen In the midst of the battle! Jonathan [was] wounded on your high places!
“Mano kaka joma rateke osetho e lweny! Jonathan onindo konegi e godeu maboyo.
26 I am in distress for you, my brother Jonathan, You were very pleasant to me; Your love was wonderful to me, Above the love of women!
Aywagi malit, Jonathan omera; ne ageni ahinya. Herani koda ne lich miwuoro, moloyo hera mar mon.
27 How the mighty have fallen, Indeed, the weapons of war perish!”
“Mano kaka joma rateke osetho! Kendo gigegi mag lweny osetieki!”
