< 1 Samuel 22 >

1 David therefore departed from there and escaped to Adullam’s cave. When his brothers and all his father’s house heard it, they went down there to him.
Daudi nowuok Gath moringo odhi e rogo mar Adulam. Kane owetene kod joodgi duto owinjo wachno, negidhi ire kuno.
2 Everyone who was in distress, everyone who was in debt, and everyone who was discontented gathered themselves to him; and he became captain over them. There were with him about four hundred men.
Ji duto mane nigi chandruok kata mane nigi gowi kata nigi ngʼur moro amora nochokore modhi ire, mine obet jatendgi. Ne gin chwo madirom mia angʼwen mane ni kode.
3 David went from there to Mizpeh of Moab; and he said to the king of Moab, “Please let my father and my mother come out to you, until I know what God will do for me.”
Ka Daudi noa kanyo nodhi Mizpa e piny Moab mowachone ruoth Moab niya, “Bende diyie mondo wuora gi minwa obi odag kodi nyaka angʼe gima Nyasaye biro timona?”
4 He brought them before the king of Moab; and they lived with him all the time that David was in the stronghold.
Omiyo noweyogi gi ruodh Moab mine gidak kode e ndalo duto mane Daudi ni kar pondo.
5 The prophet Gad said to David, “Don’t stay in the stronghold. Depart, and go into the land of Judah.” Then David departed, and came into the forest of Hereth.
Janabi Gad nowachone Daudi niya, “We dak kar pondo, dhi e piny Juda.” Omiyo Daudi nowuok modhi e bungu man Hereth.
6 Saul heard that David was discovered, with the men who were with him. Now Saul was sitting in Gibeah, under the tamarisk tree in Ramah, with his spear in his hand, and all his servants were standing around him.
Koro Saulo nowinjo ni osefweny kuma Daudi gi joge nitie. To Saulo noyudo obet piny e tiend yath moro ewi got man Gibea kotingʼo tongʼ e lwete kolwore gi jodonge.
7 Saul said to his servants who stood around him, “Hear now, you Benjamites! Will the son of Jesse give everyone of you fields and vineyards? Will he make you all captains of thousands and captains of hundreds?
Saulo nowachonegi niya, “Winjuru, un jo-Benjamin! Bende wuod Jesse nomiu puothe gi puoth mzabibu? Bende enoketu jotend jolweny alufe kata jatend jolweny miche?
8 Is that why all of you have conspired against me, and there is no one who discloses to me when my son makes a treaty with the son of Jesse, and there is none of you who is sorry for me, or discloses to me that my son has stirred up my servant against me, to lie in wait, as it is today?”
Kare mano emomiyo uduto useriworuna? Onge ngʼato angʼata manyisa ka wuoda timo singruok gi wuod Jesse. Onge ngʼama dewo gima timorena kata manyisa ni wuoda osethuwo jatija mondo obutna ka rita kaka koro otimoni.”
9 Then Doeg the Edomite, who stood by the servants of Saul, answered and said, “I saw the son of Jesse coming to Nob, to Ahimelech the son of Ahitub.
Eka Doeg ja-Edom, manoyudo ochungʼ gi jodong Saulo, nowacho niya, “Ne aneno ka wuod Jesse odhi ir Ahimelek wuod Ahitub man Nob.
10 He inquired of Yahweh for him, gave him food, and gave him the sword of Goliath the Philistine.”
Ahimelek nopenjone wach kuom Jehova Nyasaye, nomiye chiemo bende gi ligangla mar Goliath ja-Filistia.”
11 Then the king sent to call Ahimelech the priest, the son of Ahitub, and all his father’s house, the priests who were in Nob; and they all came to the king.
Eka ruoth nooro joote mondo oom Ahimelek jadolo ma wuod Ahitub kaachiel gi joodgi duto, mane gin jodolo e Nob, kendo giduto negibiro ir ruoth.
12 Saul said, “Hear now, you son of Ahitub.” He answered, “Here I am, my lord.”
Saulo nowacho niya, “Koro winji wuod Ahitub.” Nodwoke niya, “Ruodha awinjo.”
13 Saul said to him, “Why have you conspired against me, you and the son of Jesse, in that you have given him bread, and a sword, and have inquired of God for him, that he should rise against me, to lie in wait, as it is today?”
Saulo nopenje niya, “Marangʼo useriworuna, in kod wuod Jesse, ka imiye makati, kod ligangla kendo ka ipenjone wach kuom Nyasaye, mi koro osengʼanyona kendo obuto korita, mana kaka otimo kawuononi?”
14 Then Ahimelech answered the king, and said, “Who among all your servants is so faithful as David, who is the king’s son-in-law, captain of your body guard, and honored in your house?
Ahimelek nodwoko ruoth niya, “Ere ngʼat ma ja-adiera kuom jotiji duto machal gi Daudi ori ma jatend joma riti, kendo mogen moloyo e odi mangima?
15 Have I today begun to inquire of God for him? Be it far from me! Don’t let the king impute anything to his servant, nor to all the house of my father; for your servant knew nothing of all this, less or more.”
Iparo ni mano e odiechiengʼ mokwongo mapenjonee Nyasaye wach? Ooyo ok en kamano! Ruoth kik iketne jatichni bura kata joodgi bura, nikech jatichni ok ongʼeyo gima dhi nyime ka.”
16 The king said, “You shall surely die, Ahimelech, you and all your father’s house.”
To ruoth nowacho niya, “Nyaka itho, in Ahimelek gi joodu duto.”
17 The king said to the guard who stood about him, “Turn and kill the priests of Yahweh, because their hand also is with David, and because they knew that he fled and didn’t disclose it to me.” But the servants of the king wouldn’t put out their hand to fall on the priests of Yahweh.
Eka ruoth nowachone joritne mane ni bute niya, “Lokreuru mondo uneg jodolo mag Jehova Nyasaye, nikech gisedok jokor Daudi. Negingʼeyo ni oringo to negitamore nyisa.” To jodong ruoth ne ok oyie mondo gineg jodolo mag Jehova Nyasaye.
18 The king said to Doeg, “Turn and attack the priests!” Doeg the Edomite turned, and he attacked the priests, and he killed on that day eighty-five people who wore a linen ephod.
Omiyo ruoth nochiko Doeg niya, “Lokri mondo ineg jodolo.” Omiyo Doeg ja-Edom nonegogi. Chiengʼno nonego joma orwako lewni mayom mag dolo miluongo ni efod maromo ji piero aboro gabich.
19 He struck Nob, the city of the priests, with the edge of the sword—both men and women, children and nursing babies, and cattle, donkeys, and sheep, with the edge of the sword.
Eka nodhi Nob, e dala mar jodolo kendo kanyo nonegoe chwo, mon, nyithindo nyaka madhoth, dhok, punde kod rombe. Magi duto nonego gi ligangla.
20 One of the sons of Ahimelech the son of Ahitub, named Abiathar, escaped and fled after David.
To Abiathar wuod Ahimelek ma wuod Ahitub notony moringo odhi ir Daudi.
21 Abiathar told David that Saul had slain Yahweh’s priests.
Abiathar nonyiso Daudi ni Saulo osenego jodolo mag Jehova Nyasaye.
22 David said to Abiathar, “I knew on that day, when Doeg the Edomite was there, that he would surely tell Saul. I am responsible for the death of all the persons of your father’s house.
Eka Daudi nowachone Abiathar niya, “E odiechiengʼno ka Doeg ja-Edom ne ni kanyo ne angʼeyo adier ni nyaka ne onyis Saulo. An ema akelo tho ne joka wuonu duto.
23 Stay with me. Don’t be afraid, for he who seeks my life seeks your life. You will be safe with me.”
Bed koda ka; kik iluor; ngʼato madwaro negino an bende odwaro nega. Onge gima nohinyi ka in koda.”
