2 Samuel 21
1 There was a famine in David's time for three years in a row, and David sought the face of Yahweh. So Yahweh said, “This famine is on you because of Saul and his murderous family, because 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 Now the Gibeonites were not from the people of Israel; they were from what remained of the Amorites. The people of Israel had sworn not to kill them, but Saul tried to kill them all anyway in his zeal for the people 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 So King David called together the Gibeonites and said to them, “What should I do for you? How can I make atonement, so that you may bless the people of Yahweh, who inherit his goodness and promises?”
Daudi nopenjo jo-Gibeon niya, “Atimnu angʼo? Ere kaka dalos winjruok mane okethore mondo ugwedhi oganda Jehova Nyasaye?”
4 The Gibeonites responded to him, “It is not a matter of silver or gold between us and Saul or his family. In the same way it is not for us to put to death any man in Israel.” David replied, “What are you saying that I should do for 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 They answered the king, “The man who tried to kill us all, who schemed against us, so that we are now destroyed and have no place within the borders 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 seven men from his descendants be handed over to us, and we will hang them before Yahweh in Gibeah of Saul, the one chosen by Yahweh.” So the king said, “I will give them to you.”
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 But the king spared Mephibosheth son of Jonathan son of Saul, because of Yahweh's oath 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 But the king took the two sons of Rizpah daughter of Aiah, sons whom she bore to Saul—the two sons were named Armoni and Mephibosheth; and David also took the five sons of Merab 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 He handed them over into the hands of the Gibeonites. They hanged them on the mountain before Yahweh, and they died all seven together. They were put to death during the time of harvest, during the first days at the beginning 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 Then Rizpah, the daughter of Aiah, took sackcloth and spread it for herself on the mountain beside the dead bodies, from the beginning of harvest until the rain poured down on them from the sky. She did not allow the birds of the sky to disturb the bodies by day or the wild animals 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 It was told to David what Rizpah, the daughter of Aiah, the slave wife of Saul, had done.
Kane onyis Daudi gima Rizpa nyar Aiya mane en achiel kuom mond Saulo mamoko, nosetimo,
12 So David went and took the bones of Saul and the bones of Jonathan his son from the men of Jabesh Gilead, who had stolen them from the public square of Beth Shan, where the Philistines had hanged them, after the Philistines had killed 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 David took away from there the bones of Saul and the bones of Jonathan his son, and they gathered the bones of the seven men who had been hanged, as well.
Daudi nokelo choke Saulo gi mag wuode Jonathan koa kuno, kod choke mag joma ne oneg mowe oko nochokgi kamoro achiel.
14 They buried the bones of Saul and Jonathan his son in the country of Benjamin in Zela, in the tomb of Kish his father. They performed all that the king commanded. After that God answered their prayers for the land.
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 Then the Philistines went to war again with Israel. So David went down with his army and fought against the Philistines. David was overcome with battle fatigue.
Lweny nochako bet kendo e kind jo-Filistia gi jo-Israel. Daudi nodhi gi joge mondo oked gi jo-Filistia, kendo nobedo mool.
16 Ishbi-Benob, a descendant of the giants, whose bronze spear weighed three hundred shekels, and who was armed with a new sword, intended to kill 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 But Abishai son of Zeruiah rescued David, attacked the Philistine, and killed him. Then the men of David swore to him, saying, “You must not go to battle anymore with us, so that you do not put out 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 It came about after this that there was again a battle with the Philistines at Gob, when Sibbekai the Hushathite killed Saph, who was one of the descendants of the Rephaim.
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 It came about again in a battle with the Philistines at Gob, that Elhanan son of Jair the Bethlehemite killed Goliath the Gittite, the staff of whose spear was like a weaver's 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 It came about in another battle at Gath that there was a man of great height who had six fingers on each hand and six toes on each foot, twenty-four in number. He also was descended from the Rephaim.
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 When he taunted Israel, Jonathan son of Shimeah, David's brother, killed him.
En bende kane ojaro jo-Israel to Jonathan wuod Shimea ma owadgi Daudi nonege.
22 These were descendants of the Rephaim of Gath, and they were killed by the hand of David and by the hand of his soldiers.
Ji angʼwen-gi mane nyikwa Rafa ma ja-Gath, nonegi gi Daudi kod joge.
