2 Samuel 2
1 It happened after this, that David inquired of the LORD, saying, "Shall I go up into any of the cities of Judah?" The LORD said to him, "Go up." David said, "Where shall I go up?" He said, "To Hebron."
Bangʼ kinde moko Daudi nopenjo Jehova Nyasaye wach niya, “Bende anyalo dhi e achiel kuom miech Juda?” Jehova Nyasaye ne odwoke niya, “Dhiyo.” Daudi nopenjo niya, “Adhi kanye?” Jehova Nyasaye ne odwoke niya, “Dhi Hebron.”
2 So David went up there, and his two wives also, Ahinoam the Jezreelite and Abigail the wife of Nabal the Carmelite,
Omiyo Daudi nodhi kuno gi monde ariyo, Ahinoam nyar Jezreel gi Abigael ma dhako ma chwore otho mane jaod Nabal ja-Karmel.
3 and the men who were with him, everyone with his household. And they lived in Hebron.
Daudi bende nodhi gi joma ne ni kode ka moro ka moro nigi joode, kendo negidak Hebron gi dalane.
4 Then the men of Judah came, and they anointed David king over the house of Judah. When David was told that the men of Jabesh Gilead buried Saul,
Eka jo-Juda nobiro Hebron, kendo ne giwiro Daudi obedo ruodh dhood Juda kanyo. Kane onyis Daudi ni jo-Jabesh Gilead ema ne oiko Saulo,
5 then he sent messengers to the lords of Jabesh Gilead, and said to them, "May you be blessed by the LORD, since you showed loyalty towards your lord, Saul, and have buried him.
nooro joote ni jo-Jabesh Gilead mondo owachnegi niya, “Jehova Nyasaye mondo ogwedhu kuom timo tim ngʼwono ni Saulo ma ruodhu ka uike.
6 Now may the LORD show loving kindness and truth to you. I also will reward you for this kindness, because you have done this thing.
Mad Jehova Nyasaye otimnu ngʼwonone gi adierane makare, kata an bende abiro timonu tim ngʼwonono machal kamano nikech ma musetimo.
7 Now therefore let your hands be strong, and be valiant; for Saul your lord is dead, and also the house of Judah has anointed me king over them."
To koro sani beduru motegno kendo ma jochir, nimar Saulo ruodhu osetho, kendo dhood Juda osewira abed ruodhgi.”
8 Now Abner the son of Ner, captain of Saul's army, had taken Ishbaal the son of Saul, and brought him over to Mahanaim;
E kindeno noyudo ka Abner wuod Ner, jatend lwenj Saulo, osekawo Ish-Boseth wuod Saulo motere nyaka Mahanaim.
9 and he made him king over Gilead, and over the Geshurites, and over Jezreel, and over Ephraim, and over Benjamin, and over all Israel.
Nokete ruodh Gilead, Ashuri gi Jezreel, to gi Efraim gi Benjamin kod Israel duto.
10 Ishbaal, Saul's son, was forty years old when he began to reign over Israel, and he reigned two years. But the house of Judah followed David.
Ish-Boseth wuod Saulo ne ja-higni piero angʼwen kano bedo ruodh Israel, nobedo ruoth kuom higni ariyo. Dhood Juda, to ne luwo Daudi.
11 And the time that David ruled in Hebron over the house of Judah was seven years and six months.
Daudi nobedo ruodh dhood Juda kuom higni abiriyo, gi dweche auchiel kane en Hebron.
12 Abner the son of Ner, and the servants of Ishbaal the son of Saul, went out from Mahanaim to Gibeon.
Abner wuod Ner, kaachiel gi jo-Ish-Boseth wuod Saulo, nowuok Mahanaim mi gidhi Gibeon.
13 Joab the son of Zeruiah, and the servants of David, went out, and met them by the pool of Gibeon; and they sat down, the one on the one side of the pool, and the other on the other side of the pool.
Joab wuod Zeruya gi jo-Daudi nodhi moromo kodgi e yawo man Gibeon. Negibet ka gingʼiyore jomoko koni to jomoko kocha.
14 Abner said to Joab, "Let the young men now arise and compete before us." Joab said, "Let them arise."
Eka Abner nowachone Joab niya, “We yawuowi oa malo mondo omakre achingʼ gachingʼ e nyimwa ka.” Joab nodwoko niya, “Kare gitim kamano.”
15 Then they arose and went over by number: twelve of the sons of Benjamin of Ishbaal the son of Saul, and twelve of the servants of David.
Eka negia malo mokwan-gi mi giromo ji apar gi ariyo ma jo-Benjamin ma ruodhgi ne en Ish-Boseth wuod Saulo, to gi apar gariyo mag Daudi.
16 They each caught his opponent by the head, and thrust his sword in his fellow's side; so they fell down together. Therefore that place was called Field of Blades, which is in Gibeon.
Negirado ka moro ka moro mako wadgi gi wiye eka ochwoyo ngʼetne gi ligangla; eka giduto negiruombore piny. Omiyo nochak kar lwenyno mane ni Gibeon ni Helkath Hazurim ma tiende ni paw ligangla.
17 The battle was very severe that day, and Abner and the men of Israel were defeated before the servants of David.
Chiengʼno lweny ne ger ahinya, kendo joma ne nigi Daudi noloyo Abner gi jo-Israel.
18 The three sons of Zeruiah were there, Joab, and Abishai, and Asahel. And Asahel was as quick on his feet as a wild gazelle.
Yawuot Zeruya adek ne gin Joab, Abishai gi Asahel. Koro Asahel ne tiende yot e ngʼwech mana ka mwanda.
19 Asahel pursued after Abner, and as he went he did not turn to the right hand nor to the left from following Abner.
Ne olawo Abner, ka ok obaro korachwich kata koracham kolawe alawa.
20 Then Abner looked behind him, and said, "Is it you, Asahel?" He answered, "It is I."
Abner nongʼiyo chien mopenjo niya, “Mano in, Asahel?” Modwoko niya, “Ee en an.”
21 Abner said to him, "Turn aside to your right hand or to your left, and grab one of the young men, and take his armor." But Asahel would not stop from pursuing him.
Eka Abner nowachone niya, “Bar korachwich kata koracham; mak achiel kuom yawuowigo mondo imaye gige mag lweny.” To Asahel notamore weyo lawe.
22 Abner said again to Asahel, "Stop pursuing me. Why should I strike you to the ground? How then should I hold up my face to Joab your brother?"
Abner nosiemo Asahel niya, “We lawa! En angʼo momiyo danegi? To katimo kamano, ere kaka dachungʼ e nyim Joab owadu?”
23 But he refused to stop. Therefore Abner with the back end of the spear struck him in the body, so that the spear came out behind him; and he fell down there, and died in the same place. And it came about that all who came to the place where Asahel had fallen and died, stopped there.
To Asahel nodagi weyo lawe; mi Abner nochwowo ii Asahel gi tongʼ mi tongʼ nowuok yo ka ngʼee Asahel. Nogore piny kanyo mi otho gisano. Kendo ji duto nochungʼ ka gichopo kama Asahel nogore piny motho.
24 But Joab and Abishai pursued after Abner: and the sun went down when they had come to the hill of Ammah, that lies before Giah by the way of the wilderness of Gibeon.
To Joab gi Abishai nolawo Abner, kendo ka chiengʼ ne podho, negichopo e got Ama, machiegni gi Gia e yo mochiko thim mar Gibeon.
25 The sons of Benjamin gathered themselves together after Abner, and formed a single group, and stood on the top of a hill.
Eka jo-Benjamin nochungʼ bangʼ Abner. Negichokore e migepe kendo negiikore ne lweny ewi got.
26 Then Abner called to Joab, and said, "Shall the sword devour forever? Do you not know that it will be bitterness in the latter end? How long shall it be then, before you ask the people to stop pursuing their brothers?"
Abner noluongo Joab matek kowacho niya, “Chuno ni ligangla biro neko nyaka chiengʼ koso? Donge ingʼeyo ni wachni biro kelo sigu? Biro kawo kinde maromo nade mondo ikwer jogi owe lawo owetegi?”
27 Joab said, "As the LORD lives, if you had not spoken, surely the people would not have given up the pursuit of their brothers until the morning."
Joab nodwoke niya, “Akwongʼora gi nying Nyasaye mangima, ni ka dine ok iwuoyo, to jogi dodhi nyime gi lawo owetegi nyaka gokinyi.”
28 So Joab blew the trumpet; and all the people stopped, and no longer chased after Israel, and they no longer fought.
Omiyo Joab nogoyo tungʼ mi ji duto nobiro mochungʼ, ne ok gimedo lawo jo-Israel, kata lweny bende ok ne gidhiyogo nyime.
29 Abner and his men went all that night through the Arabah; and they passed over the Jordan, and marched the whole morning, and came to Mahanaim.
Otienono duto Abner gi joge nowuotho ka gingʼado Araba. Negiyoro aora Jordan, negimedo dhi ka gikadho gwengʼ Bithron duto mi gichopo Mahanaim.
30 Joab returned from pursuing Abner. And when he had gathered all the people together, there were missing from David's servants nineteen men and Asahel.
Eka Joab noduogo koa lawo Abner mi ochoko joge duto kanyakla. Ji apar gochiko mag Daudi ne onge ka ok okwan Asahel.
31 But the servants of David had struck of the people of Benjamin, from the men of Abner, three hundred and sixty men who died.
To jo-Daudi nosenego jo-Benjamin mia adek gi piero auchiel mane nigi Abner.
32 They took up Asahel, and buried him in the tomb of his father, which was in Bethlehem. Joab and his men went all night, and the day broke on them at Hebron.
Negitingʼo ringre Asahel mi giike e liend wuon-gi e Bethlehem. Eka Joab gi joge nowuotho otieno duto mi gichopo Hebron ka piny yawore.
