1 Kings 20
1 And Ben-Hadad king of Aram hath gathered all his force, and thirty and two kings [are] with him, and horse and chariot, and he goeth up and layeth siege against Samaria, and fighteth with it,
Koro Ben-Hadad ruodh Aram nochoko jolwenje duto. Koriwore gi ruodhi piero adek gariyo man-gi farese kod geche nodhi molworo Samaria kendo omonje.
2 and sendeth messengers unto Ahab king of Israel, to the city,
Nooro joote ei dala ir Ahab ruodh Israel kawacho niya, “Ma e gima Ben-Hadad wacho:
3 and saith to him, 'Thus said Ben-Hadad, 'Thy silver and thy gold are mine, and thy wives and thy sons — the best — are mine.'
‘Fedha magi gi dhahabu magi gin maga kendo mondi mabeyo kod nyithindi gin maga.’”
4 And the king of Israel answereth and saith, 'According to thy word, my lord, O king: I [am] thine, and all that I have.'
To ruodh Israel nodwoke niya, “Mana kaka iwacho ruodha jaloch, An kaachiel gi mwanduna duto wan magi.”
5 And the messengers turn back and say, 'Thus spake Ben-Hadad, saying, Surely I sent unto thee, saying, Thy silver, and thy gold, and thy wives, and thy sons, to me thou dost give;
Jootego noduogo kendo mowacho niya, “Ma e gima Ben-Hadad owacho: ‘Naoro mondo akaw dhahabu magi kod fedha magi kaachiel gi mondi gi nyithindi.
6 for if, at this time to-morrow, I send my servants unto thee then they have searched thy house, and the houses of thy servants, and it hath been, every desirable thing of thine eyes they place in their hand, and have taken away.'
To kiny kar sa maka ma, abiro oro jodonga mondo omany odi mar ruoth kaachiel gi ut jodongi. Gibiro kawo gimoro amora mikwano kaka gima berni.’”
7 And the king of Israel calleth to all the elders of the land, and saith, 'Know, I pray you, and see that evil this [one] is seeking, for he sent unto me for my wives, and for my sons, and for my silver, and for my gold, and I withheld not from him.'
Ruodh Israel noluongo jodongo duto mag piny mowachonegi niya, “Neuru kaka ngʼatni dwaro chandruok! Kane odwaro dhahabu maga gi fedha maga kaachiel gi monda gi nyithinda ne ok atame.”
8 And all the elders and all the people say unto him, 'Do not hearken, nor consent.'
Jodongo kaachiel gi ji duto nodwoke kawacho niya, “Kik iwinje kata yie kik iyie gik modwaro.”
9 And he saith to the messengers of Ben-Hadad, 'Say to my lord the king, All that thou didst send for unto thy servant at the first I do, and this thing I am not able to do;' and the messengers go and take him back word.
Kamano nodwoko joote mag Ben-Hadad niya, “Nyis ruodha ma jaloch kama, ‘Jatichni biro timo duto mane idwaro mokwongo, to dwaronini ok anyal.’” Negia gitero ni Ben-Hadad dwoko.
10 And Ben-Hadad sendeth unto him, and saith, 'Thus do the gods to me, and thus do they add, if the dust of Samaria suffice for handfuls for all the people who [are] at my feet.'
Eka Ben-Hadad nochako ooro ote machielo ni Ahab kowachone niya, “Mad nyiseche timna kata bedi ni en malit machalo nade, ka ok otieko Samaria pep molokore buru.”
11 And the king of Israel answereth and saith, 'Speak ye: let not him who is girding on boast himself as him who is loosing [his armour].'
Ruodh Israel nodwoke niya, “Nyise kama: ‘Ngʼat morwako lepe mag lweny ok onego go siboi ka ngʼat molonyo lepe mag lweny.’”
12 And it cometh to pass at the hearing of this word — and he is drinking, he and the kings, in the booths — that he saith unto his servants, 'Set yourselves;' and they set themselves against the city.
Ben-Hadad nowinjo oteno ka en kaachiel gi ruodhi ne metho e hembegi mi nochiko joge niya, “Ikreuru mondo umonjgi.” Omiyo negiikore mondo gimonj dalano maduongʼ.
13 And lo, a certain prophet hath come nigh unto Ahab king of Israel, and saith, 'Thus said Jehovah, 'Hast thou seen all this great multitude? lo, I am giving it into thy hand to-day, and thou hast known that I [am] Jehovah.'
To e kindeno janabi moro nobiro ir Ahab Ruodh Israel molando niya, “Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye wacho, ‘Donge ineno jolweny mangʼenygi? Abiro chiwe e lweti kawuono kendo ibiro ngʼeyo ni An e Jehova Nyasaye.’”
14 And Ahab saith, 'By whom?' and he saith, 'Thus said Jehovah, By the young men of the heads of the provinces;' and he saith, 'Who doth direct the battle?' and he saith, 'Thou.'
To Ahab nopenjo niya, “To en ngʼatno mabiro timo mano?” To janabi nodwoke niya, “Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye wacho: ‘Rowere ma jolweny mag jotend lweny mar gwenge ema biro timo mani.’” Nopenjo niya, “En ngʼa mabiro chako lweny?” To janabi nodwoke niya, “In ema ibiro timo kamano.”
15 And he inspecteth the young men of the heads of the provinces, and they are two hundred, two and thirty, and after them he hath inspecteth the whole of the people, all the sons of Israel, seven thousand,
Kamano Ahab nochiko rowere ma jotend lweny mag gwenge maromo ji mia ariyo gi piero adek gariyo. Eka nochoko jo-Israel mamoko maromo ji alufu abiriyo koriwore.
16 and they go out at noon, and Ben-Hadad is drinking — drunk in the booths, he and the kings, the thirty and two kings, helping him.
Negichako wuoth odiechiengʼ tir ka Ben-Hadad kod ruodhi piero adek gariyo moriwore kode ne nitie e hema metho.
17 And the young men of the heads of the provinces go out at the first, and Ben-Hadad sendeth, and they declare to him, saying, 'Men have come out of Samaria.'
Rowere ma jotend lweny mag gwenge nodhi mokwongo. Koro Ben-Hadad nooro jombetre mane odwogone wach kama, “Jomoko biro kowuok Samaria.”
18 And he saith, 'If for peace they have come out — catch them alive; and if for battle they have come out — alive catch them.'
Nodwoko kama, “Ka gibiro gi kwe, makgiuru ka gingima; to ka gibiro ni lweny, to bende makgiuru ka gingima.”
19 And these have gone out of the city — the young men of the heads of the provinces — and the force that [is] after them,
Rowere ma jotend lweny mag gwenge nowuok e dala ka jolweny luwo bangʼ-gi,
20 and smite each his man, and Aram fleeth, and Israel pursueth them, and Ben-Hadad king of Aram escapeth on a horse, and the horsemen;
kendo moro ma moro nonego jadhape. Gikanyono jo-Aram noringo ka jo-Israel lawogi. To Ben-Hadad ruodh jo-Aram notony koidho farase kod joidh faresene mamoko.
21 and the king of Israel goeth out, and smiteth the horses, and the charioteers, and hath smitten among the Aramaeans a great smiting.
Ruodh Israel nolawogi kendo nohinyo jo-farese kod jo-geche mi nonego jo-Aram mangʼeny.
22 And the prophet cometh nigh unto the king of Israel, and saith to him, 'Go, strengthen thyself, and know and see that which thou dost, for at the turn of the year the king of Aram is coming up against thee.'
Bangʼe janabi nobiro ir ruodh Israel monyise niya, “Koro jiw jolweny magi mondo ine gima onego itim nimar ruodh Aram biro monji kendo e chwiri mabiro.”
23 And the servants of the king of Aram said unto him, 'Gods of hills [are] their gods, therefore they were stronger than we; and yet, we fight with them in the plain — are we not stronger than they?
E kindego jodong ruoth nongʼado rieko ni ruodh Aram nongʼadone rieko kagiwachone niya, “nyisechegi gin nyiseche gode, mano emomiyo ne gin gi teko moloyowa; to ka wakedo kodgi e pewe to adier wabiro bedo matek maloyogi.
24 'And this thing do thou: turn aside the kings each out of his place, and set captains in their stead;
To tim kama: Gol ruodhi duto e telo ni lweny kendo wilgi gi jotelo mamoko.
25 and thou, number to thee a force as the force that is fallen from thee, and horse for horse, and chariot for chariot, and we fight with them in the plain; are we not stronger than they?' and he hearkeneth to their voice, and doth so.
Bende nyaka ichok jolweny marom gi mago mane wawito farese kar farese mane walalo kod geche kar geche mane walalo eka mondo waked gi Israel e pewe. Eka adier wanabed matek moloyogi.” Noyie kodgi motimo kaka owinjore.
26 And it cometh to pass at the turn of the year, that Ben-Hadad inspecteth the Aramaeans, and goeth up to Aphek, to battle with Israel,
E chwiri maluwe Ben-Hadad nochoko jo-Aram modhi Afek mondo oked gi Israel.
27 and the sons of Israel have been inspected, and supported, and go to meet them, and the sons of Israel encamp before them, like two flocks of goats, and the Aramaeans have filled the land.
Kane jo-Israel bende nochoki momigi gige konyruok, ne giwuok mondo girom kodgi. Jo-Israel nogoyo kambi momanyore kodgi machalo gi kweth ariyo mag diek, ka jo-Aram to nokwako pewe.
28 And there cometh nigh a man of God, and speaketh unto the king of Israel, and saith, 'Thus said Jehovah, Because that the Aramaeans have said, God of hills [is] Jehovah, and He [is] not God of valleys — I have given the whole of this great multitude into thy hand, and ye have known that I [am] Jehovah.'
Ngʼat Nyasaye nobiro monyiso ruodh Israel niya, “Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye wacho, nikech jo-Aram paro ni Jehova Nyasaye en nyasach gode to ok nyasach holni, abiro chiwo jolweny mangʼenygi e lweti kendo ibiro ngʼeyo ni an Jehova Nyasaye.”
29 And they encamp one over-against another seven days, and it cometh to pass on the seventh day, that the battle draweth near, and the sons of Israel smite Aram — a hundred thousand footmen in one day.
Kuom ndalo abiriyo negigoyo kambi ka gimanyore, kendo e odiechiengʼ mar abiriyo lweny norado. Jo-Israel nonego jolwenj Aram ma jotelo maromo alufu mia achiel odiechiengno.
30 And those left flee to Aphek, unto the city, and the wall falleth on twenty and seven chief men who are left, and Ben-Hadad hath fled, and cometh in unto the city, into the innermost part.
Joma nodongʼ kuomgi notony modhi Afek kama ohinga nomukore monego ji alufu piero ariyo gabiriyo. To Ben-Hadad noringo modhi e dala maduongʼ mopondo ei ot maiye.
31 And his servants say unto him, 'Lo, we pray thee, we have heard that the kings of the house of Israel — that they are kind kings; let us put, we pray thee, sackcloth on our loins, and ropes on our heads, and we go out unto the king of Israel; it may be he doth keep thee alive.'
Jodonge nowachone niya, “Ne, wasewinjo ni ruodhi mag jo-Israel ngʼwon. Yie wadhi ir ruodh Israel ka watweyo pien gugru e nungowa kendo ka watweyo tonde e wiwa. Dipo ka okechi.”
32 And they gird sackcloth on their loins, and ropes [are] on their heads, and they come in unto the king of Israel, and say, 'Thy servant Ben-Hadad hath said, Let me live, I pray thee;' and he saith, 'Is he yet alive? he [is] my brother.'
Negidhi ir ruodh Israel ka girwako lep pien gugru e nungogi kendo gitweyo tonde wigi mi giwachone niya, “Jatichni Ben-Hadad wacho niya, Yie iweya abed mangima.” Eka ruoth nodwoko niya, “Pod ongima? En owadwa.”
33 And the men observe diligently, and hasten, and catch it from him, and say, 'Thy brother Ben-Hadad;' and he saith, 'Go ye in, bring him;' and Ben-Hadad cometh out unto him, and he causeth him to come up on the chariot.
Jogo nokaw wachno kaka ranyisi maber kendo negikawo wachno piyo piyo ma giwacho niya, “Ee, owadu Ben-Hadad!” Ruoth nowachonigi niya, “Dhiuru mondo uome.” Kane Ben-Hadad osewuok oko, Ahab noluongo mondo oidh gache.
34 And he saith unto him, 'The cities that my father took from thy father, I give back, and streets thou dost make for thee in Damascus, as my father did in Samaria;' — 'and I, with a covenant, send thee away;' and he maketh with him a covenant, and sendeth him away.
Ben-Hadad noyie mowachone niya, “Abiro dwoko mier mane wuonwa okawo kuom wuonu.” Inyalo keto chirni magu uwuon Damaski mana kaka wuonwa notimo Samaria. Ahab nodwoke niya, “Kuom winjruok ma wabiro timo abiro weyi mondo idhi.” Kuom mano notimo kode winjruok moweye odhi.
35 And a certain man of the sons of the prophets said unto his neighbour by the word of Jehovah, 'Smite me, I pray thee;' and the man refuseth to smite him,
Kuom wach Jehova Nyasaye achiel kuom yawuot jonabi nowacho ni wadgi niya, “Goya gi gir lwenji mitingʼo,” to ngʼatno notamore.
36 and he saith to him, 'Because that thou hast not hearkened to the voice of Jehovah, lo, thou art going from me, and the lion hath smitten thee;' and he goeth from him, and the lion findeth him, and smiteth him.
Kamano janabi nowacho niya, “Nikech ok isewinjo dwond Jehova Nyasaye, mapiyo piyo kiwuok ka, to sibuor biro negi.” Kendo bangʼ ka ngʼatno nosea, sibuor noyude monege.
37 And he findeth another man, and saith, 'Smite me, I pray thee;' and the man smiteth him, smiting and wounding,
Janabino noyudo ngʼat machielo mowachone niya, “Kiyie to goya.” Kamano ngʼatno nogoye mohinye.
38 and the prophet goeth and standeth for the king on the way, and disguiseth himself with ashes on his eyes.
Eka janabino nodhi mochungʼ e bath yo korito ruoth. Noumo wangʼe gi kilemba mar wiye mondo kik fweny ni en ngʼa.
39 And it cometh to pass — the king is passing by — that he hath cried unto the king, and saith, 'Thy servant went out into the midst of the battle, and lo, a man hath turned aside and bringeth in unto me a man, and saith, Keep this man; if he be at all missing, then hath thy life been for his life, or a talent of silver thou dost weigh out;
Kane ruoth kadho kanyo janabi noluonge mowachone niya, “Jatichni nodhi e chuny lweny, kendo ngʼato nobiro ira gi misumba momaki mowachona ni, ‘Rit ngʼatni kolal to ngimani biro chulo ngimane kata ibiro chulo fedha maromo kilo piero adek gangʼwen.’
40 and it cometh to pass, thy servant is working hither and thither, and he is not!' and the king of Israel saith unto him, Right [is] thy judgment; thou hast determined [it].'
Kane jatijno odich ka gi kacha ngʼatno nolal.” Ruodh Israel nodwoke niya, “Mano e bura mongʼadni nikech isewache iwuon.”
41 And he hasteth and turneth aside the ashes from off his eyes, and the king of Israel discerneth him, that he [is] of the prophets,
Eka janabi nogolo kilemba mane ogengʼogo wangʼe mi ruodh jo-Israel nofwenye kaka achiel kuom jonabi.
42 and he saith unto him, 'Thus said Jehovah, Because thou hast sent away the man I devoted, out of [thy] hand, even thy life hath been for his life, and thy people for his people;'
Nowacho ni ruoth niya, “Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye owacho: ‘Iseweyo ngʼat mane awacho ni nyaka tho odhi thuolo. Kuom mano inichul ngimane gi ngimani kendo jogi kuom joge.’”
43 and the king of Israel goeth unto his house, sulky and wroth, and cometh in to Samaria.
Ruodh Israel nodhi e ode mar ruoth Samaria ka chunye orumo kendo ka iye owangʼ kod mirima.
