2 Samuel 21
1 And there is a famine in the days of David [for] three years, year after year, and David seeks the face of YHWH, and YHWH says, “[This is] for Saul and for the bloody house, because that he put the Gibeonites to death.”
E ndalo loch Daudi, ne nitie kech kuom higni adek moluwore; omiyo Daudi nolamo koywak ni Jehova Nyasaye. To Jehova Nyasaye nowacho ni, “Ma ne otimore nikech remo mane Saulo gi ode ochwero, nikech nonego jo-Gibeon.”
2 And the king calls for the Gibeonites and says to them—as for the Gibeonites, they [are] not of the sons of Israel, but of the remnant of the Amorite, and the sons of Israel had sworn to them, and Saul seeks to strike them in his zeal for the sons of Israel and Judah—
Ruoth noluongo jo-Gibeon mowuoyo kodgi. To koro jo-Gibeon ne ok gin achiel kuom jo-Israel to ne gin jo-Amor ma notony, kendo jo-Israel nosekwongʼore ni biro weyogi ma ok onegogi, to Saulo kane dwaro gi chunye duto mondo jo-Israel gi jo-Juda ogurre motegno, notemo tiekogi.
3 indeed, David says to the Gibeonites, “What do I do for you? And with what do I make atonement? And bless the inheritance of YHWH.”
Daudi nopenjo jo-Gibeon niya, “Atimnu angʼo? Ere kaka dalos winjruok mane okethore mondo ugwedhi oganda Jehova Nyasaye?”
4 And the Gibeonites say to him, “We have no silver and gold by Saul and by his house, and we have no man to put to death in Israel”; and he says, “What you are saying I do to you.”
Jo-Gibeon nodwoke niya, “Waonge ratiro mar dwaro fedha kata dhahabu kuom joka Saulo, to bende waonge gi teko mar nego jo-Israel.” Eka Daudi nopenjogi niya, “Angʼo mudwaro mondo atimnu?”
5 And they say to the king, “The man who consumed us, and who devised against us—we have been destroyed from stationing ourselves in all the border of Israel—
Ne gikwayo ruoth niya, “To kuom ngʼat mane onegowa kendo mane ochano yo mar hinyowa momiyo waserumo kendo wabedo maonge kar dak kamoro amora e Israel,
6 let there be given to us seven men of his sons, and we have hanged them before YHWH, in the height of Saul, the chosen of YHWH.” And the king says, “I give”;
yie imiwa nyikwaye machwo abiriyo mondo onegi kendo owegi e nyim Jehova Nyasaye e Gibea e dala Saulo ma en ngʼat Jehova Nyasaye moyier.” Omiyo ruoth nowacho niya, “Abiro miyougi.”
7 and the king has pity on Mephibosheth son of Jonathan, son of Saul, because of the oath of YHWH that [is] between them, between David and Jonathan son of Saul;
To ruoth ne ongʼwono ma ok ochiwo Mefibosheth wuod Jonathan, ma wuod Saulo, nikech singruok mane Daudi gi Jonathan wuod Saulo otimo e nyim Jehova Nyasaye.
8 and the king takes the two sons of Rizpah daughter of Aiah, whom she bore to Saul, Armoni and Mephibosheth, and the five sons of Michal daughter of Saul whom she bore to Adriel son of Barzillai the Meholathite,
To ruoth nokawo Armoni gi Mefibosheth ma yawuot Rizpa nyar Aiya mane onywolo ni Saulo, to gi yawuowi abich ma Merab nyar Saulo nonywolo ni Adriel wuod Barzilai, ma ja-Mehola.
9 and gives them into the hand of the Gibeonites, and they hang them in the hill before YHWH; and the seven fall together, and they have been put to death in the days of harvest, in the first [days], the commencement of barley-harvest.
Nochiwogi ni jo-Gibeon mano onegogi moweyogi ewi got nyim Jehova Nyasaye. Giduto ji abiriyogo notho kanyakla kane oneg-gi e kinde mokwongʼo mag keyo, mana ka ichako kayo shairi.
10 And Rizpah daughter of Aiah takes the sackcloth, and stretches it out for herself on the rock, from the commencement of harvest until water has been poured out on them from the heavens, and has not permitted a bird of the heavens to rest on them by day, or the beast of the field by night.
Rizpa nyar Aiya nokawo pien gugru mopedho ewi lwanda mondo obedie, chakre ndalo keyo nyaka koth nochako chue ka goyo ringre jogo. To noriembo winy mafuyo godiechiengʼ kod le mawuotho gotieno mondo kik cham ringregi.
11 And it is declared to David that which Rizpah daughter of Aiah, concubine of Saul, has done,
Kane onyis Daudi gima Rizpa nyar Aiya mane en achiel kuom mond Saulo mamoko, nosetimo,
12 and David goes and takes the bones of Saul, and the bones of his son Jonathan, from the possessors of Jabesh-Gilead, who had stolen them from the broad place of Beth-Shan, where the Philistines hanged them, in the day of the Philistines striking Saul in Gilboa;
nodhi mokawo choke Saulo gi mag wuode Jonathan ka ogologi kuom oganda jo-Jabesh Gilead. Ne gisekawogi lingʼ-lingʼ koa e paw dala man Beth Shan, kuma jo-Filistia nolierogie bangʼ nego Saulo Gilboa.
13 and he brings up there the bones of Saul, and the bones of his son Jonathan, and they gather the bones of those hanged,
Daudi nokelo choke Saulo gi mag wuode Jonathan koa kuno, kod choke mag joma ne oneg mowe oko nochokgi kamoro achiel.
14 and bury the bones of Saul and of his son Jonathan in the land of Benjamin, in Zelah, in the burying-place of his father Kish, and do all that the king commanded, and God accepts the plea for the land afterward.
Negiiko choke Saulo gi mag Jonathan ma wuode e liend Kish wuon Saulo, e Zela e piny Benjamin kendo negitimo gik moko duto ma ruoth nochiko. Bangʼ mano Nyasaye nodwoko lemo mane ilamo ni piny.
15 And again the Philistines have war with Israel, and David goes down, and his servants with him, and they fight with the Philistines; and David is weary,
Lweny nochako bet kendo e kind jo-Filistia gi jo-Israel. Daudi nodhi gi joge mondo oked gi jo-Filistia, kendo nobedo mool.
16 and Ishbi-Benob, who [is] among the children of the giant—the weight of his spear [is] three hundred [shekels in] weight of bronze, and he is girded with a new one—speaks of striking David,
To Ishbi-Benob ma en achiel kuom nyikwa Rafa, mane omanore gi tongʼ ma pek mula mane olosgo wiye ne romo kilo adek gi nus kendo ne en-gi ligangla manyien, nowacho ni obiro nego Daudi.
17 and Abishai son of Zeruiah gives help to him, and strikes the Philistine, and puts him to death; then the men of David swear to him, saying, “You do not go out with us to battle again, nor quench the lamp of Israel.”
To Abishai wuod Zeruya nobiro moreso Daudi mi nogoyo ja-Filistia monego. Eka jolweny mag Daudi nosingorene kawacho niya, “Ok inichak iwuog kodwa kidhi e lweny, nikech dipo ka tach Israel otho.”
18 And it comes to pass afterward that the battle is again in Gob with the Philistines. Then Sibbechai the Hushathite has struck Saph, who [is] among the children of the giant.
Bangʼ kinde manok, ne nitie lweny machielo gi jo-Filistia e piny Gob. E kindeno Sibekai ma ja-Hushath nonego Saf, achiel kuom nyikwa Rafa.
19 And the battle is again in Gob with the Philistines, and Elhanan son of Jaare-Oregim, the Beth-Lehemite, strikes [a brother of] Goliath the Gittite, and the wood of his spear [is] like a weavers’ beam.
E lweny machielo gi jo-Filistia e piny Gob Elhanan wuod Jare-Oregim ma ja-Bethlehem nonego Goliath, ja-Giti ma bond tonge chalo lodi.
20 And the battle is again in Gath, and there is a man of [great] stature, and the fingers of his hands [are] six, and the toes of his feet [are] six—twenty-four in number, and he has also been born to the giant,
Lweny machielo nochako owuok Gath, kama ne nitie ngʼat marabet mane nigi lith lwedo auchiel gi lith tielo auchiel koni gi koni, lith lwetene gi mag tiendene koriw to ne romo piero ariyo gangʼwen. En bende ne en nyakwar Rafa.
21 and he reproaches Israel, and Jonathan son of Shimeah, David’s brother, strikes him;
En bende kane ojaro jo-Israel to Jonathan wuod Shimea ma owadgi Daudi nonege.
22 these four have been born to the giant in Gath, and they fall by the hand of David, and by the hand of his servants.
Ji angʼwen-gi mane nyikwa Rafa ma ja-Gath, nonegi gi Daudi kod joge.
