1 Samuel 20
1 And David fleeth from Naioth in Ramah, and cometh, and saith before Jonathan, 'What have I done? what [is] mine iniquity? and what my sin before thy father, that he is seeking my life?'
Eka Daudi noringo koa Nayoth e gwengʼ Rama mine odhi ir Jonathan mopenje niya, “Angʼo masetimo? Ere kethona? Rach mane ma asetimo ne wuonu, momiyo odwaro kawo ngimana?”
2 And he saith to him, 'Far be it! thou dost not die; lo, my father doth not do anything great or small and doth not uncover mine ear; and wherefore doth my father hide from me this thing? this [thing] is not.'
Jonathan nodwoke niya, “Onge. Ok ibi tho! Winji, wuonwa ok tim gimoro amora, bedni oduongʼ kata otin, ma ok onyisa. Angʼo madimi opandna wachni? Ok en kamano!”
3 And David sweareth again, and saith, 'Thy father hath certainly known that I have found grace in thine eyes, and he saith, Let not Jonathan know this, lest he be grieved; and yet, Jehovah liveth, and thy soul liveth, but — as a step between me and death.'
Daudi to nowacho ka kwongʼore niya, “Wuoru ongʼeyo malongʼo kaka igena mi osewacho e chunye ni, ‘Jonathan ok onego ngʼe wachni nikech chunye nyalo bedo gi lit.’ Kata kamano akwongʼora gi nying Jehova Nyasaye mangima to gi nyingi ni kinda gi tho odongʼ mana ondamo achiel.”
4 And Jonathan saith to David, 'What doth thy soul say? — and I do it for thee.'
Jonathan nowacho ni Daudi niya, “Gimoro amora midwaro ni atim abiro timoni.”
5 And David saith unto Jonathan, 'Lo, the new moon [is] to-morrow; and I do certainly sit with the king to eat; and thou hast sent me away, and I have been hidden in a field till the third evening;
Omiyo Daudi nowacho niya, “Winji, kiny en Sawo mar Dwe manyien kendo nitie budho ma onego bed ni achiemo gi ruoth, to we adhi apondi oko nyaka chop odhiambo mar orucha.
6 if thy father at all look after me, and thou hast said, David asked earnestly of me to run to Beth-Lehem his city, for a sacrifice of the days [is] there for all the family.
Ka wuonu ok onena e nyasini, to nyise ni, ‘Daudi nokwaya mondo amiye thuolo odhi dalagi Bethlehem mapiyo piyo, nikech anywolagi duto nigi misango mar higa ka higa.’
7 If thus he say: Good; peace [is] for thy servant; and if it be very displeasing to him — know that the evil hath been determined by him;
Ka owacho ni, ‘Mano ber,’ eka anabed gi adieri ni jatichni nigi kwe. To ka mirima omake, to ibiro bedo gi adiera ni oseketo chunye ni nyaka to onega.
8 and thou hast done kindness, to thy servant, for into a covenant of Jehovah thou hast brought thy servant with thee; — and if there is in me iniquity, put thou me to death; and unto thy father, why is this — thou dost bring me in?'
In to koro bed ja-adiera ne jatichni, nikech isekwongʼori kode e nyim Jehova Nyasaye. To ka an jaketho to nega in iwuon! Angʼo ma dimi iketa e lwet wuonu?”
9 And Jonathan saith, 'Far be it from thee! for I certainly do not know that the evil hath been determined by my father to come upon thee, and I do not declare it to thee.'
Jonathan nowachone niya, “Mano ok nyal timore! Ka dine angʼeyo kata mana matin ni wuora dwaro timoni marach, donge danyisi?”
10 And David saith unto Jonathan, 'Who doth declare to me? or what [if] thy father doth answer thee sharply?'
Daudi nopenje niya, “Ngʼa mabiro wachona ka wuonu odwoki gi gero?”
11 And Jonathan saith unto David, 'Come, and we go out into the field;' and they go out both of them into the field.
Jonathan nowacho niya, “Bi wadhi kuma opondo.” Omiyo negidhi giduto.
12 And Jonathan saith unto David, 'Jehovah, God of Israel — when I search my father, about [this] time to-morrow [or] the third [day], and lo, good [is] towards David, and I do not then send unto thee, and have uncovered thine ear —
Eka Jonathan nowachone Daudi niya, “Gi nying Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasach Israel, abiro wuoyo gi wuora e sa maka ma orucha! Ka en gi paro maber kuomi, to donge abiro anyisi?
13 thus doth Jehovah do to Jonathan, and thus doth He add; when the evil concerning thee is good to my father, then I have uncovered thine ear, and sent thee away, and thou hast gone in peace, and Jehovah is with thee, as he was with my father;
To ka wuora nigi chuny mar hinyi, to aweyo ma ok anyisi kendo konyi mondo itony idhi gi kwe, to mondo Jehova Nyasaye ochwada malit. Mad Jehova Nyasaye obed kodi mana kaka osebedo gi wuora.
14 and not only while I am alive dost thou do with me the kindness of Jehovah, and I die not,
To yie itimna ngʼwono mana machal gi ngʼwono mosiko mar Jehova Nyasaye e ndalo duto mag ngimana, mondo kik nega,
15 but thou dost not cut off thy kindness from my house unto the age, nor in Jehovah's cutting off the enemies of David, each one from off the face of the ground.'
kendo kik iwe timo ngʼwono ni jooda kata mana ka Jehova Nyasaye osetieko wasik Daudi e wangʼ piny.”
16 And Jonathan covenanteth with the house of David, and Jehovah hath sought [it] from the hand of the enemies of David;
Omiyo Jonathan nokwongʼore gi joka Daudi, kowacho niya, “Mad Jehova Nyasaye mondo ongʼad bura ne wasik Daudi.”
17 and Jonathan addeth to cause David to swear, because he loveth him, for with the love of his own soul he hath loved him.
Omiyo Jonathan noketo Daudi mochako ojiwo kwongʼruokne nikech nohere, nimar nohere mana kaka oherore owuon.
18 And Jonathan saith to him, 'To-morrow [is] new moon, and thou hast been looked after, for thy seat is looked after;
Eka Jonathan nowachone Daudi niya, “Kiny en Sawo mar dwe manyien kendo kiny nongʼere ni ionge nikech komi nobed nono.
19 and on the third day thou dost certainly come down, and hast come in unto the place where thou wast hidden in the day of the work, and hast remained near the stone Ezel.
To kochopo orucha kar odhiambo kanyo to idhi kama ne ipondoe mokwongo ka wechegi nochakore kendo irit but kit Ezel.
20 'And I shoot three of the arrows at the side, sending out for myself at a mark;
Abiro diro aserni adek e bathe kanyo, ka gima atemo lengʼo gimoro.
21 and lo, I send the youth: Go, find the arrows. If I at all say to the youth, Lo, the arrows [are] on this side of thee — take them, — then come thou, for peace [is] for thee, and there is nothing; Jehovah liveth.
Eka abiro oro rawera kawachone ni, ‘Dhi idwar aserni.’ To kawachone ni, ‘Ne, aserni ni e bathi koni; kelgi ka, eka ibi, nikech akwongʼora gi nying Jehova Nyasaye mangima ni onge gima biro hinyi kendo onge gima rach.’
22 And if thus I say to the young man, Lo, the arrows [are] beyond thee, — go, for Jehovah hath sent thee away;
To ka awachone rawera ni, ‘Ne, aserni ni nyimi,’ eka nyaka idhi nikech Jehova Nyasaye dwaro ni idhi adhiya.
23 as to the thing which we have spoken, I and thou, lo, Jehovah [is] between me and thee — unto the age.'
To kuom weche mawasewuoyoe to ipar, nimar Jehova Nyasaye en janeno e kindwa nyaka chiengʼ.”
24 And David is hidden in the field, and it is the new moon, and the king sitteth down by the food to eat,
Omiyo Daudi nopondo oko kendo kane Sawo mar Dwe manyien ochopo, to ruoth nobet piny mondo ochiem.
25 and the king sitteth on his seat, as time by time, on a seat by the wall, and Jonathan riseth, and Abner sitteth at the side of Saul, and David's place is looked after.
Nobet kare mane ojabetie but kor ot, ka gimanyore gi Jonathan, Abner to nobet bath Saulo, kom Daudi to ne ninono.
26 And Saul hath not spoken anything on that day, for he said, 'It [is] an accident; he is not clean — surely not clean.'
Saulo ne ok owacho gimoro chiengʼno, nikech noparo e chunye niya, “Nyaka bed ni Daudi osetimo gimoro marach, omiyo ok oler adiera emomiyo ok obiro e nyasi.”
27 And it cometh to pass on the second morrow of the new moon, that David's place is looked after, and Saul saith unto Jonathan his son, 'Wherefore hath the son of Jesse not come in, either yesterday or to-day, unto the food?'
To kata mana kinyne, ma en chiengʼ mar ariyo mar dwe, kom Daudi ne pod ninono. Eka Saulo nowachone Jonathan wuode niya, “Angʼo momiyo wuod Jesse ok obiro e chiemo, chakre nyoro nyaka kawuono?”
28 And Jonathan answereth Saul, 'David hath been earnestly asked of me unto Beth-Lehem,
Jonathan nodwoko niya, “Daudi nohomba kokwaya thuolo mondo odhi Bethlehem.”
29 and he saith, Send me away, I pray thee, for a family sacrifice we have in the city, and my brother himself hath given command to me, and now, if I have found grace in thine eyes, let me go away, I pray thee, and see my brethren; therefore he hath not come unto the table of the king.'
Nokwayo niya, “Yiena mondo adhi nikech joodwa timo misango e dala kendo owadwa nochika matek ni nyaka achop kuno. Koro akwayi ni yie ingʼwon-na mondo adhi ane owetena. Mano ema omiyo ok osebiro e mesa ruoth.”
30 And the anger of Saul burneth against Jonathan, and he saith to him, 'Son of a perverse rebellious woman! have I not known that thou art fixing on the son of Jesse to thy shame, and to the shame of the nakedness of thy mother?
Saulo notoyo mirimbe kuom Jonathan mowachone niya, “In wuod dhako ma wiye tek kendo ma ja-mahundu! Donge angʼeyo ni isebedo jakor wuod Jesse makelo wichkuot ne in iwuon kendo ne minu monywoli?
31 for all the days that the son of Jesse liveth on the ground thou art not established, thou and thy kingdom; and now, send and bring him unto me, for he [is] a son of death.'
Ka wuod Jesse pod ngima e pinyni to in kata pinyruodhi ok nyal gurore. Koro or wach mondo okelnago nikech nyaka otho!”
32 And Jonathan answereth Saul his father, and saith unto him, 'Why is he put to death? what hath he done?'
Jonathan nopenjo wuon-gi niya, “Angʼo momiyo nyaka otho? Angʼo mosetimo?”
33 And Saul casteth the javelin at him to smite him, and Jonathan knoweth that it hath been determined by his father to put David to death.
To Saulo nobaye gi tongʼ mondo onege. Eka Jonathan nongʼeyo ni kare wuon-gi dwaro nego Daudi.
34 And Jonathan riseth from the table in the heat of anger, and hath not eaten food on the second day of the new moon, for he hath been grieved for David, for his father put him to shame.
Jonathan nochungʼ moa e mesa ka mirima mager omake chiengʼ mar ariyo mar dwe mane ok ochiemo, nikech chunye ne lit kod timbe wuon-gi mag wichkuot mane otimone Daudi.
35 And it cometh to pass in the morning, that Jonathan goeth out into the field for the appointment with David, and a little youth [is] with him.
Kinyne gokinyi Jonathan nodhi oko e kargi mar romo gi Daudi. Ne en-gi wuowi matin,
36 And he saith to his youth, 'Run, find, I pray thee, the arrows which I am shooting;' the youth is running, and he hath shot the arrow, causing [it] to pass over him.
kendo nowachone wuowino niya, “Ringi mondo idwar aserni madirogi.” E sa ma wuowino ne ringo, nodiro asere mokadhe.
37 And the youth cometh unto the place of the arrow which Jonathan hath shot, and Jonathan calleth after the youth, and saith, 'Is not the arrow beyond thee?'
Ka wuowino nochopo kama asech Jonathan ne olwarie, Jonathan noluonge gi dwol maduongʼ niya, “Donge asere ni nyimi kanyo?”
38 and Jonathan calleth after the youth, 'Speed, haste, stand not;' and Jonathan's youth gathereth the arrows, and cometh unto his lord.
Eka nokok kowacho niya, “Reti! Dhi piyo! Kik ichungʼ!” Wuowino nokwanyo asereno mi odok ir ruodhe.
39 And the youth hath not known anything, only Jonathan and David knew the word.
Wuowino ne ok ongʼeyo gimoro amora mane timore, makmana Jonathan gi Daudi kende ema nongʼeyo.
40 And Jonathan giveth his weapons unto the youth whom he hath, and saith to him, 'Go, carry into the city.'
Eka Jonathan nomiyo wuowino gige mag lweny mowachone niya, “Dhiyo idwokgi dala.”
41 The youth hath gone, and David hath risen from Ezel, at the south, and falleth on his face to the earth, and boweth himself three times, and they kiss one another, and they weep one with another, till David exerted himself;
Bangʼ ka wuowino nosedhi, Daudi nowuok yo milambo mar dir kidi, mi okulore piny e nyim Jonathan nyadidek ka lend wangʼe mulo piny. Eka ne gimosore ma giywak giduto to Daudi noywak moloyo.
42 and Jonathan saith to David, 'Go in peace, in that we have sworn — we two — in the name of Jehovah, saying, Jehovah is between me and thee, and between my seed and thy seed — unto the age;' and he riseth and goeth; and Jonathan hath gone in to the city.
Jonathan nowachone Daudi niya, “Dhi gi kwe nimar wasesingore e nyim Jehova Nyasaye ni osiep man e kindwa kodi ka wakwongʼore niya, Jehova Nyasaye obed janeno e kindi koda kendo e kind nyikwayi kod nyikwaya nyaka chiengʼ” Eka Daudi nowuok to Jonathan bende nodok dala.
