1 Samuel 18
1 It happened, when he had made an end of speaking to Saul, that the soul of Jonathan was knit with the soul of David, and Jonathan loved him as his own soul.
Kane Daudi osetieko wuoyo gi Saulo, chuny Daudi nowinjore gi mar Jonathan gi Daudi mine ohere mana kaka oherore owuon.
2 Saul took him that day, and would let him go no more home to his father's house.
Koa odiechiengno Saulo nokawo Daudi kendo ne ok ochako odok dalagi ir wuon-gi.
3 Then Jonathan and David made a covenant, because he loved him as his own soul.
Jonathan nokwongʼore gi Daudi nikech ne ohere mana kaka oherore owuon.
4 Jonathan stripped himself of the robe that was on him, and gave it to David, and his armor, and even his sword and his bow and his belt.
Jonathan nogolo lawe mane orwako momiyo Daudi, nomiye lawe mar akor, gi liganglane bende, atungʼ gi okandane.
5 Then Saul set him over the men of war, and David went out, succeeding wherever Saul sent him. And it was good in the sight of all the people, and also in the sight of Saul's servants.
Gimoro amora mane Saulo oore mondo otim, Daudi ne timo maber ahinya kuom mano Saulo nomiye rangʼiny mamalo e lweny. Ma nomiyo ji duto mor nyaka jotend lweny mag Saulo bende.
6 It happened as they came, when David returned from the slaughter of the Philistine, that the women came out of all the cities of Israel, singing and dancing, to meet king Saul, with tambourines, with joy, and with instruments of music.
Kane ji duogo dala bangʼ ka Daudi nosenego ja-Filistia, mon nowuok e mier matindo duto mag Israel mondo oromne Ruoth Saulo ka giwer kendo gimiel, ka igoyo tamborin gi asili.
7 The women sang one to another as they played, and said, "Saul has slain his thousands, David his ten thousands."
Kane gimiel, ne giwer niya, “Saulo onego ji alufe, to Daudi onego ji alufe gi alufe.”
8 Saul was very angry, and this saying displeased him; and he said, "They have ascribed to David ten thousands, and to me they have ascribed but thousands. What can he have more but the kingdom?"
Saulo ne okecho ahinya nikech wendno nochwanye, mi nowacho e chunye niya, “Ere kaka gisemiyo Daudi alufe gi alufe; to an to gimiya mana alufe kende. Angʼo modongʼne makoro ok doyudi ma kata bedo ruoth?”
9 Saul viewed David with suspicion from that day and forward.
Kochakore chiengʼno Saulo nochako bedo gi nyiego gi Daudi.
10 It happened on the next day, that a harmful spirit from God came mightily on Saul, and he prophesied in the midst of the house. David played with his hand, as he did day by day. Saul had his spear in his hand;
Kinyne Nyasaye nochiwo thuolo ne roho marach mobiro gi teko modonjo kuom Saulo. Noyudo okoro wach e ode, ka Daudi to ne goyo nyatiti kaka ne ojagoyo pile. Saulo ne nigi tongʼ e lwete
11 and Saul threw the spear; for he said, "I will pin David even to the wall." David escaped from his presence twice.
kendo nodiro tongʼ kowacho e chunye niya, “Abiro chwowo Daudi mariw gi kor ot.” To Daudi nolengʼe nyadiriyo.
12 Saul was afraid of David, because the LORD was with him, and had departed from Saul.
Saulo noluoro Daudi nikech Jehova Nyasaye noseweye, to ne ni kod Daudi.
13 Therefore Saul removed him from him, and made him his captain over a thousand; and he went out and came in before the people.
Omiyo nogolo Daudi mondo oa bute mi nokete mondo obed jatend jolweny alufu achiel, kendo Daudi notelonegi e lwenje mane gidhiye.
14 David behaved himself wisely in all his ways; and the LORD was with him.
Gik moko ne dhi kode maber e gimoro amora mane otimo nikech Jehova Nyasaye ne ni kode.
15 When Saul saw that he behaved himself very wisely, he stood in awe of him.
Kane Saulo oneno kaka odhi maber, mine oluore.
16 But all Israel and Judah loved David; for he went out and came in before them.
To jo-Israel duto gi jo-Juda duto ne ohero Daudi nikech notelonegi e lwenjegi.
17 Saul said to David, "Look, my elder daughter Merob, I will give her to you as wife. Only be valiant for me, and fight the LORD's battles." For Saul said, "Do not let my hand be on him, but let the hand of the Philistines be on him."
Saulo nowachone Daudi niya, “Ma en Merab nyara maduongʼ. Abiro miyigo mondo ikende; to mana ka inyalo kedona gi chir ka ikedo lwenje mag Jehova Nyasaye.” Nimar Saulo nowacho e chunye niya, “Ok abi keto lweta kuome. We jo-Filistia ema otim mano!”
18 David said to Saul, "Who am I, and what is my life, or my father's family in Israel, that I should be son-in-law to the king?"
To Daudi nowachone ne Saulo niya, “Anto an ngʼa kata anywolana kata dhood gi wuora gin angʼo e Israel ma dimi abed or ruoth?”
19 But it happened at the time when Merob, Saul's daughter, should have been given to David, that she was given to Adriel the Meholathite as wife.
Kane ndalo ochopo mane Merab nyar Saulo onego omi Daudi, ne omiye Adriel ja-Mehola mondo okende.
20 Mikal, Saul's daughter, loved David; and they told Saul, and the thing pleased him.
Koro Mikal nyar Saulo nohero Daudi, omiyo kane ginyiso Saulo wachno, to Saulo nobedo mamor.
21 And Saul thought, "I will give her to him, that she may be a snare to him, and that the hand of the Philistines may be against him." Therefore Saul said to David, "You shall this day be my son-in-law a second time."
Saulo noparo e chunye niya, “Abiro miyego, mondo obedne obadho mondo omi jo-Filistia oyude.” Omiyo Saulo nowachone Daudi niya, “Koro in-gi thuolo mar ariyo mondo ibed ora.”
22 Then Saul commanded his servants, "Talk with David secretly, and say, 'Look, the king has delight in you, and all his servants love you. So now therefore be the king's son-in-law.'"
Eka Saulo nochiko jotichne niya, “Wuouru gi Daudi lingʼ-lingʼ kendo wachneuru ni, ‘Winji, ruoth mor kodi kendo jotije duto bende oheri koro bed ore.’”
23 Saul's servants spoke those words in the ears of David. David said, "Does it seems to you a little thing to be the king's son-in-law, since I am a poor man, and insignificant?"
Neginwoyo wechego ne Daudi. To Daudi nowacho niya, “Uparo ni en wach mayot mar bedo or ruoth? An mana ngʼama odhier bende ok angʼera.”
24 The servants of Saul told him, saying, "David spoke like this."
Kane jotije Saulo onyise gima Daudi nowacho,
25 Saul said, "You shall tell David, 'The king desires no dowry except one hundred foreskins of the Philistines, to be avenged of the king's enemies.'" Now Saul thought to make David fall by the hand of the Philistines.
Saulo nodwoko niya, “Wachneuru Daudi ni, ‘Ruoth ok dwar ni inyombne, eka ikaw nyare, to odwaro mana ni mondo ikelne ringre jo-Filistia mia achiel (ma en pien duongʼ-gi), mondo ochulgo kuor ne wasike.’” Chenro mar Saulo ne en ni mondo Daudi opodhie lwet jo-Filistia.
26 When his servants told David these words, it pleased David well to be the king's son-in-law. The days were not expired;
Kane jotij Saulo onyiso Daudi wechego nobedo mamor bedo or ruoth. Kane kinde moket pok orumo,
27 and David arose and went, he and his men, and killed of the Philistines one hundred men; and David brought their foreskins, and they gave them in full number to the king, that he might be the king's son-in-law. Then Saul gave him Mikal his daughter as wife.
Daudi gi joge nodhi monego jo-Filistia mia ariyo. Nokelo ringregi (ma en pien duongʼ-gi) kendo nochiwo kar kwan-ka duto mondo omi obed or ruoth. Eka Saulo nomiye Mikal nyare mi okendo.
28 When Saul saw and knew that the LORD was with David, and that all Israel loved him,
Kane Saulo ofwenyo ni Jehova Nyasaye nigi Daudi kendo ni Mikal nyare ohero Daudi.
29 then he was even more afraid of David. So Saul was David's enemy continually.
Saulo nomedo luore, kendo nosiko ka en jasike e ndalo duto mag ngimane.
30 Then the leaders of the Philistines went forth: and it happened, as often as they went forth, that David behaved himself more wisely than all the servants of Saul; so that his name was highly esteemed.
Jotend lweny mag jo-Filistia ne medo dhi e lweny, kendo kaka negimedo dhi e kaka Daudi bende ne locho moloyo jotelo mamoko mag Saulo kendo nomedo ngʼere.
