1 Kings 21
1 After these things, Naboth the Jezreelite had a vineyard which was in Jezreel, next to the palace of Ahab king of Samaria.
Bangʼ kinde moko wach nowuok momako puoth mzabibu mar Naboth ja-Jezreel, puoth mzabibuno ne nitie Jezreel, machiegni gi dala ruoth maduongʼ mar Ahab ma ruodh Samaria.
2 Ahab spoke to Naboth, saying, “Give me your vineyard, that I may have it for a garden of herbs, because it is near my house; and I will give you for it a better vineyard than it. Or, if it seems good to you, I will give you its worth in money.”
Ahab nowachone Naboth niya, “Yie akaw puothi mar mzabibu alok puoth alot nikech ochiegni gi dalana maduongʼ. To kar puodhono abiro miyi puoth mzabibu maber moloyo, to bende ka ihero to anachuli gimoro amora midwaro.”
3 Naboth said to Ahab, “May Yahweh forbid me, that I should give the inheritance of my fathers to you!”
To Naboth nodwoke niya, “Jehova Nyasaye ok dibed mamor kade amiyi puodho ma en mwandu kwerena.”
4 Ahab came into his house sullen and angry because of the word which Naboth the Jezreelite had spoken to him, for he had said, “I will not give you the inheritance of my fathers.” He laid himself down on his bed, and turned away his face, and would eat no bread.
Omiyo Ahab nodok dala kokuyo kendo ka iye owangʼ nikech Naboth ja-Jezreel nodwoke niya, “Ok anamiyi gir mwandu mar kwerena.” Nonindo e kitandane ka oparore kendo notamore chiemo.
5 But Jezebel his wife came to him, and said to him, “Why is your spirit so sad that you eat no bread?”
Jaode Jezebel nobiro ire e ot mopenje niya, “En angʼo momiyo ikuyo? En angʼo momoni chiemo?”
6 He said to her, “Because I spoke to Naboth the Jezreelite, and said to him, ‘Give me your vineyard for money; or else, if it pleases you, I will give you another vineyard for it.’ He answered, ‘I will not give you my vineyard.’”
Nodwoke niya, “Nikech nawacho ni Naboth ja-Jezreel ni, ‘Yie iusna puothi mar mzabibu; to ka ok kamano, to anyalo miyi puoth mzabibu machielo kare.’ En to nodwoke ni, ‘Ok anamiyi puotha mar mzabibu.’”
7 Jezebel his wife said to him, “Do you now govern the kingdom of Israel? Arise, and eat bread, and let your heart be merry. I will give you the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite.”
Jezebel jaode to nowachone niya, “Bende e kaka onego itimri to in e ruoth mar Israel? Aa malo kendo ichiem! Bed mamor. Abiro miyi puoth mzabibu mar Naboth ja-Jezreel.”
8 So she wrote letters in Ahab’s name and sealed them with his seal, and sent the letters to the elders and to the nobles who were in his city, who lived with Naboth.
Omiyo nondiko barupe kotiyo gi nying Ahab moketo kido mar ruoth kuomgi kendo mi oorgi ir jodongo kod joka ruoth mane odak kode e dala maduongʼ mar Naboth.
9 She wrote in the letters, saying, “Proclaim a fast, and set Naboth on high among the people.
E barupego nondikoe kama: “Luonguru odiechieng tweyo chiemo kendo keturu Naboth obed piny e nyim ji kama oyiedhi.
10 Set two men, wicked fellows, before him, and let them testify against him, saying, ‘You cursed God and the king!’ Then carry him out, and stone him to death.”
To keturu joma timbegi mono ariyo momanyore kode kendo ketgiuru mondo gihangne wach ni osekwongʼo Nyasaye kod ruoth. Eka ugole oko kendo uchiele gi kite nyaka otho.”
11 The men of his city, even the elders and the nobles who lived in his city, did as Jezebel had instructed them in the letters which she had written and sent to them.
Omiyo jodongo kod joka ruoth mane odak e dala maduongʼ mar Naboth notimo kaka Jezebel nochikogi e barupego mane osendikonigi.
12 They proclaimed a fast, and set Naboth on high among the people.
Negilando chiengʼ tweyo chiemo kendo negiketo Naboth obet piny e nyim ji kama oyiedhi.
13 The two men, the wicked fellows, came in and sat before him. The wicked fellows testified against him, even against Naboth, in the presence of the people, saying, “Naboth cursed God and the king!” Then they carried him out of the city and stoned him to death with stones.
Eka ji ariyo ma timbegi mono nobiro mobedo momanyore kode e nyim ji, mohangone wach kawacho niya, “Naboth osekwongʼo Nyasaye gi ruoth.” Omiyo ne gigole oko mar dala mi gigoye gi kite ma otho.
14 Then they sent to Jezebel, saying, “Naboth has been stoned and is dead.”
Eka negioro ni Jezebel wach kama, “Naboth osego gi kite motho.”
15 When Jezebel heard that Naboth had been stoned and was dead, Jezebel said to Ahab, “Arise, take possession of the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite, which he refused to give you for money; for Naboth is not alive, but dead.”
Mapiyo piyo ka Jezebel nowinjo ni Naboth osego gi kite motho, nonyiso Ahab niya, “Aa malo mondo ikaw puoth mzabibu mar Naboth ja-Jezreel, mane odagi usoni, ok ongima, osetho.”
16 When Ahab heard that Naboth was dead, Ahab rose up to go down to the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite, to take possession of it.
Kane Ahab owinjo ni Naboth osetho, noa malo modhi mondo okaw puoth Naboth mar mzabibu obed mare.
17 Yahweh’s word came to Elijah the Tishbite, saying,
Eka wach Jehova Nyasaye nobiro ni Elija ja-Tishbi:
18 “Arise, go down to meet Ahab king of Israel, who dwells in Samaria. Behold, he is in the vineyard of Naboth, where he has gone down to take possession of it.
“Dhiyo mondo irom gi Ahab ruodh Israel molocho Samaria. Koro entie e puoth Naboth mar mzabibu mosedhiye mondo okaw obed mare.
19 You shall speak to him, saying, ‘Yahweh says, “Have you killed and also taken possession?”’ You shall speak to him, saying, ‘Yahweh says, “In the place where dogs licked the blood of Naboth, dogs will lick your blood, even yours.”’”
Nyise kama, ‘Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye wacho, Donge isenego ngʼato kendo mikawo mwandune?’ Wachne kendo ni, ‘Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye wacho, Kama guogi nonangʼoe remb Naboth, bende e kama guogi biro nangʼoe rembi in iwuon, ee, mana in!’”
20 Ahab said to Elijah, “Have you found me, my enemy?” He answered, “I have found you, because you have sold yourself to do that which is evil in Yahweh’s sight.
Ahab nowacho ni Elija niya, “Kamano iseyuda in jasika!” To Elija nodwoke niya, “Ee, aseyudi nikech isechiwori mar timo richo e nyim Jehova Nyasaye.
21 Behold, I will bring evil on you, and will utterly sweep you away and will cut off from Ahab everyone who urinates against a wall, and him who is shut up and him who is left at large in Israel.
Abiro kelo masira kuomi. Abiro tieko nyikwayi kendo abiro ngʼado oko nyathi moro amora ma wuowi ma chogo moa dhood Ahab e piny Israel; bed ni gin wasumbini kata ok gin wasumbini.
22 I will make your house like the house of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, and like the house of Baasha the son of Ahijah, for the provocation with which you have provoked me to anger, and have made Israel to sin.”
Abiro loko odi kaka mar Jeroboam wuod Nebat gi kaka mar Baasha wuod Ahija nikech isemiya mirima kendo isemiyo Israel otimo richo.”
23 Yahweh also spoke of Jezebel, saying, “The dogs will eat Jezebel by the rampart of Jezreel.
Kendo kuom Jezebel Jehova Nyasaye nowacho kama, guogi biro kidho Jezebel e tie ohinga mar Jezreel.
24 The dogs will eat he who dies of Ahab in the city; and the birds of the sky will eat he who dies in the field.”
“Guogi biro chamo joka Ahab motho e mier madongo kendo winy mae kor polo biro chamo mago motho e pewe.”
25 But there was no one like Ahab, who sold himself to do that which was evil in Yahweh’s sight, whom Jezebel his wife stirred up.
Ne onge ngʼat moro machielo machalo gi Ahab, mane ochiwore ni timo richo e nyim Jehova Nyasaye, kijiwe e timo kamano gi jaode Jezebel.
26 He did very abominably in following idols, according to all that the Amorites did, whom Yahweh cast out before the children of Israel.
Timbene ne richoe moloyo koluwo bangʼ nyiseche mamoko, mana kaka jo-Amor mane Jehova Nyasaye oriembo e nyim jo-Israel.
27 When Ahab heard those words, he tore his clothes, put sackcloth on his body, fasted, lay in sackcloth, and went about despondently.
Kane Ahab owinjo wechegi duto, noyiecho lepe, morwako lep gunia kendo notweyo chiemo. Nonindo gi lepe mag guniago kendo nowuotho kokuyo.
28 Yahweh’s word came to Elijah the Tishbite, saying,
Eka wach Jehova Nyasaye nobiro ni Elija ja-Tishbi, kawacho niya,
29 “See how Ahab humbles himself before me? Because he humbles himself before me, I will not bring the evil in his days; but I will bring the evil on his house in his son’s day.”
“Bende isefwenyo kaka sani Ahab osebolore e nyima? Nikech osebolore, ok anakel masirani e ndalone, to abiro kele e ode e kinde mag wuode.”
