1 Samuel 30
1 And it came to pass, when David and his men were come to Ziklag on the third day, that the Amalekites had invaded the south, and Ziklag, and smitten Ziklag, and burned it with fire;
Mgbe Devid na ndị ikom ya rutere obodo Ziklag nʼụbọchị nke atọ, ha hụrụ na ndị Amalek abịala wakporo bi nʼakụkụ ndịda Negev na Ziklag. Ha buru agha megide Ziklag, gbaa obodo ahụ ọkụ,
2 And had taken the women captives that [were] in it, they slew not any, either great or small, but carried [them] away, and went on their way.
dọtakwa ndị inyom na ndị niile bi nʼime ya nʼagha, ma okenye ma ụmụntakịrị. Ha egbughị ha egbu, kama ha buuru ha laa.
3 So David and his men came to the city, and behold, [it was] burned with fire; and their wives, and their sons, and their daughters, were taken captives.
Mgbe Devid na ndị ikom ya ruru Ziklag, ha hụrụ na-esuola ya ọkụ, dọkpụrụ ndị inyom ha, na ụmụ ndị ikom na ndị inyom nʼagha.
4 Then David and the people that [were] with him, lifted up their voice and wept, until they had no more power to weep.
Ya mere, Devid na ndị ikom ya kwara akwa ruo mgbe ike akwa gwụrụ ha.
5 And David's two wives were taken captives, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess, and Abigail the wife of Nabal the Carmelite.
Ndị inyom abụọ Devid, Ahinoam onye Jezril na Abigel, nwunye ochie Nebal onye Kamel, sokwa na ndị a dọtara nʼagha ahụ.
6 And David was greatly distressed: for the people spoke of stoning him, because the soul of all the people was grieved, every man for his sons, and for his daughters: but David encouraged himself in the LORD his God.
Ihe a wetaara Devid oke nsogbu, nʼihi na ndị ikom ya nọ na-ekwu okwu iji nkume tugbuo ya; ha niile nọ nʼobi ilu nʼihi ụmụ ha ndị ikom na ndị inyom. Ma Devid chọtara ike nʼime Onyenwe anyị Chineke ya.
7 And David said to Abiathar the priest, Ahimelech's son, I pray thee bring me hither the ephod. And Abiathar brought thither the ephod to David.
Devid sịrị Abịata, bụ onye nchụaja, nwa Ahimelek, “Chịtara m efọọd ahụ.” Ya mere, Abịata chịtara ya nye ya
8 And David inquired of the LORD, saying, Shall I pursue this troop? shall I overtake them? And he answered him, Pursue; for thou shalt surely overtake [them], and without fail recover [all].
Mgbe ahụ, Devid jụrụ Onyenwe anyị ase sị, “Ọ bụ m chụso ndị a na-apụnara ndị mmadụ ihe? Ọ bụrụ na m achụso ha, aga m ejide ha?” Onyenwe anyị zara, “E, chụso ha ọsọ, ị ga-achụkwute ha, ma nataghachikwa ihe niile ha were.”
9 So David went, he and the six hundred men that [were] with him, and came to the brook Besor, where those that were left behind remained.
Mgbe ahụ, Devid na narị ndị agha isii ya bịarutere nʼọdọ mmiri Beso, ebe ha hapụrụ ụfọdụ ndị
10 But David pursued, he and four hundred men: for two hundred abode behind, who were so faint that they could not go over the brook Besor.
narị ndị ikom abụọ nʼime ha enwekwaghị ike ịgafe ndagwurugwu Beso nʼihi ike ọgwụgwụ, ma Devid na narị anọ ndị ọzọ chụsoro ha.
11 And they found an Egyptian in the field, and brought him to David, and gave him bread, and he ate; and they made him drink water;
Ha hụrụ otu nwokorobịa onye Ijipt nʼọhịa, duuru ya bịakwute Devid. Ha nyere ya mmiri ka ọ ṅụọ, nyekwa ya nri ka o rie.
12 And they gave him a piece of a cake of figs, and two clusters of raisins: and when he had eaten, his spirit came again to him: for he had eaten no bread, nor drank [any] water, three days and three nights.
Ihe ha nyere ya bụ achịcha fiig, na ụyọkọ mkpụrụ vaịnị abụọ nke a mịkpọrọ amịkpọ. Mgbe o richara ha, o nweghachiri onwe ya, nʼihi na o ribeghị nri ọbụla, maọbụ ṅụọ mmiri ọbụla ụbọchị atọ, ehihie na nʼabalị.
13 And David said to him, To whom [belongest] thou? and whence [art] thou? And he said, I [am] a young man of Egypt, servant to an Amalekite; and my master left me, because three days ago I fell sick.
Mgbe ahụ, Devid jụrụ ya sị, “Ị bụ onye? Ebeekwa ka i si bịa?” Ọ zara Devid sị, “Abụ m onye Ijipt, bụrụkwa ohu onye Amalek. Onyenwe m hapụrụ m nʼebe a abalị atọ gara aga nʼihi na ahụ adịghị m ike.
14 We made an invasion [upon] the south of the Cherethites, and upon [the coast] which [belongeth] to Judah, and upon the south of Caleb; and we burned Ziklag with fire.
Anyị si obodo ebe anyị gara lụọ agha na-alọghachi mgbe ha hapụrụ m nʼebe a. Anyị gara lụgbuo obodo ndị Keret, nke dị nʼime Negeb, na obodo dị na ndịda ala Juda na ala Kaleb. Anyị gbakwara obodo Ziklag ọkụ.”
15 And David said to him, Canst thou conduct me down to this company? And he said, Swear to me by God, that thou wilt neither kill me, nor deliver me into the hands of my master, and I will lead thee down to this company.
Devid jụrụ ya sị, “I nwere ike duru m gaa ebe ha nọ.” Nwokorobịa ahụ zara ya sị, “Ọ bụrụ na ị ga-aṅụ iyi nʼaha Chineke na ị gaghị egbu m maọbụ were m nyeghachi onyenwe m, aga m eduru gị gaa ebe ha nọ.”
16 And when he had conducted him down, behold, [they were] spread abroad upon all the earth, eating and drinking, and dancing, because of all the great spoil that they had taken from the land of the Philistines, and from the land of Judah.
O duuru ha jee nʼebe ndị Amalek nọ. Mgbe ha ruru ebe ahụ, ha hụrụ ha ebe ha tụsara onwe ha nʼala na-eri na-aṅụ, na-etekwa egwu ọṅụ, nʼihi ihe dị ukwuu ha kwatara nʼagha site nʼala ndị Filistia, na nʼala Juda.
17 And David smote them from the twilight even to the evening of the next day: and there escaped not a man of them, save four hundred young men, who rode upon camels, and fled.
Devid na ndị agha ya bịakwasịrị ha na mberede gbuo ha site nʼabalị ahụ ruo anyasị echi ya. Ọ dịkwaghị otu nwoke nʼime ha fọdụrụ ndụ ma ọ bụghị narị ndị ikom anọ makwasịrị nʼelu ịnyịnya kamel ha gbalaga.
18 And David recovered all that the Amalekites had carried away: and David rescued his two wives.
Devid nwetaghachiri ihe niile ndị Amalek kwatara nʼagha, tinyere ndị inyom ya abụọ.
19 And there was nothing lacking to them, neither small nor great, neither sons nor daughters, neither spoil, nor any [thing] that they had taken to them: David recovered all.
O nweghị ihe furu efu, ma nke ukwu ma nke nta, ụmụ ndị ikom na ụmụ ndị inyom, ihe a kwatara nʼagha, maọbụ ihe ọbụla ọzọ ndị Amalek dọtara nʼagha. Devid nwetaghachiri ihe niile.
20 And David took all the flocks and the herds, [which] they drove before those [other] cattle, and said, This [is] David's spoil.
Ọzọkwa, Devid chịkọtara igwe ehi na igwe ewu na atụrụ. Ndị ikom ya chịịrị ha, tinyere anụ ụlọ ndị ọzọ, na-aga, na-asị, “Ndị a bụ ihe Devid kwatara nʼagha.”
21 And David came to the two hundred men, who were so faint that they could not follow David, whom they had made also to abide at the brook Besor: and they went forth to meet David, and to meet the people that [were] with him: and when David came near to the people, he saluted them.
Emesịa, Devid bịarutere ebe narị ndị ikom abụọ ndị ahụ nọ na Ndagwurugwu Beso. Ndị a bụ ndị ahụ na-enweghị ike iso Devid nʼihi na ike gwụrụ ha. Ha pụtara zute Devid na ndị so ya. Mgbe Devid na ndị ikom ya bịara ha nso, ọ jụrụ ha otu ha mere.
22 Then answered all the wicked men, and [men] of Belial, of those that went with David, and said, Because they went not with us, we will not give them [aught] of the spoil that we have recovered, save to every man his wife and his children, that they may lead [them] away, and depart.
Ma ndị ikom ọjọọ ahụ niile, na ndị okwu na ụka nọ nʼetiti ndị na-eso Devid sịrị, “Nʼihi na ndị a esoghị anyị jee, ya mere ha agaghị eso anyị keta ihe ndị a anyị kwatara nʼagha. Nyeghachi ha naanị nwunye ha na ụmụ ha; gwakwa ha ka ha laa.”
23 Then said David, Ye shall not do so, my brethren, with that which the LORD hath given us, who hath preserved us, and delivered the company that came against us into our hand.
Ma Devid sịrị, “Mba, ụmụnna m, unu ekwesighị isi otu a kee ihe ndị ahụ Onyenwe anyị nyere anyị. O chebere anyị, nyefee nʼaka anyị ndị agha ahụ niile bịara imegide anyị.
24 For who will hearken to you in this matter? but as his part [is] that goeth down to the battle, so [shall] his part [be] that tarrieth by the goods: they shall part alike.
Unu chere na ọ dị onye ga-ege unu ntị mgbe unu na-ekwu okwu dị otu a? Anyị niile ga-eketa oke; oke ndị jere agha na ndị chebere ihe anyị ga-abụ otu.”
25 And it was [so] from that day forward, that he made it a statute and an ordinance for Israel to this day.
Site nʼụbọchị ahụ, Devid mere ka nke a bụrụ iwu nye ndị Izrel niile ruo taa.
26 And when David came to Ziklag, he sent of the spoil to the elders of Judah, [even] to his friends, saying, Behold a present for you, of the spoil of the enemies of the LORD;
Mgbe ha rutere Ziklag, Devid weere ụfọdụ ihe ha kwatara nʼagha zigara ndị okenye Juda, ndị bụ ndị enyi ya, na-asị, “Lee onyinye ewetaara unu site nʼụfọdụ nʼime ihe anyị kwatara site nʼaka ndị iro Onyenwe anyị.”
27 To [them] who [were] in Beth-el, and to [them] who [were] in south Ramoth, and to [them] who [were] in Jattir,
O zigara ha nye ndị bi na Betel, Ramọt Negev na Jatịa,
28 And to [them] who [were] in Aroer, and to [them] who [were] in Siphmoth, and to [them] who [were] in Eshtemoa,
nyekwa ndị nọ Aroea, Sifmot, Eshtemoa
29 And to [them] who [were] in Rachal, and to [them] who [were] in the cities of the Jerahmeelites, and to [them] who [were] in the cities of the Kenites,
na Rakal, nyekwa ndị bi nʼobodo ndị Jerameel na nke ndị Ken,
30 And to [them] who [were] in Hormah, and to [them] who [were] in Chor-ashan, and to [them] who [were] in Athach,
nyekwa ndị bi na Homa, Bo Ashan, Atak
31 And to [them] who [were] in Hebron, and to all the places where David himself and his men were accustomed to resort.
na Hebrọn na ndị nọ nʼebe niile ndị ahụ ebe Devid na ndị ya wagharịrị.
