1 Samuel 22

1 David therefore departed thence, and escaped to the cave Adullam: and when his brethren and all his father’s house heard [it], they went down thither to him.

Daudi nowuok Gath moringo odhi e rogo mar Adulam. Kane owetene kod joodgi duto owinjo wachno, negidhi ire kuno.

2 And every one [that was] in distress, and every one that [was] in debt, and every one [that was] discontented, gathered themselves unto him; and he became a captain over them: and 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 And David went thence to Mizpeh of Moab: and he said unto the king of Moab, Let my father and my mother, I pray thee, come forth, [and be] with you, till 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 And he brought them before the king of Moab: and they dwelt with him all the while that David was in the hold.

Omiyo noweyogi gi ruodh Moab mine gidak kode e ndalo duto mane Daudi ni kar pondo.

5 And the prophet Gad said unto David, Abide not in the hold; depart, and get thee into the land of Judah. Then David departed, and came into the forest of Hareth.

Janabi Gad nowachone Daudi niya, “We dak kar pondo, dhi e piny Juda.” Omiyo Daudi nowuok modhi e bungu man Hereth.

6 When Saul heard that David was discovered, and the men that [were] with him, (now Saul abode in Gibeah under a tree in Ramah, having his spear in his hand, and all his servants [were] standing about 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 Then Saul said unto his servants that stood about him, Hear now, ye Benjamites; will the son of Jesse give every one of you fields and vineyards, [and] 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 That all of you have conspired against me, and [there is] none that sheweth me that my son hath made a league with the son of Jesse, and [there is] none of you that is sorry for me, or sheweth unto me that my son hath stirred up my servant against me, to lie in wait, as at this day?

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 answered Doeg the Edomite, which was set over the servants of Saul, 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 And he enquired of the LORD for him, and gave him victuals, 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 that [were] in Nob: and they came all of them 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 And Saul said, Hear now, thou son of Ahitub. And he answered, Here I [am], my lord.

Saulo nowacho niya, “Koro winji wuod Ahitub.” Nodwoke niya, “Ruodha awinjo.”

13 And Saul said unto him, Why have ye conspired against me, thou and the son of Jesse, in that thou hast given him bread, and a sword, and hast enquired of God for him, that he should rise against me, to lie in wait, as at this day?

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, And who [is so] faithful among all thy servants as David, which is the king’s son in law, and goeth at thy bidding, and is honourable in thine 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 Did I then begin to enquire of God for him? be it far from me: let not the king impute [any] thing unto his servant, [nor] to all the house of my father: for thy 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 And the king said, Thou shalt surely die, Ahimelech, thou, and all thy father’s house.

To ruoth nowacho niya, “Nyaka itho, in Ahimelek gi joodu duto.”

17 And the king said unto the footmen that stood about him, Turn, and slay the priests of the LORD; because their hand also [is] with David, and because they knew when he fled, and did not shew it to me. But the servants of the king would not put forth their hand to fall upon the priests of the LORD.

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 And the king said to Doeg, Turn thou, and fall upon the priests. And Doeg the Edomite turned, and he fell upon the priests, and slew on that day fourscore and five persons that did wear 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 And Nob, the city of the priests, smote he with the edge of the sword, both men and women, children and sucklings, and oxen, and asses, 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 And 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 And Abiathar shewed David that Saul had slain the LORD’s priests.

Abiathar nonyiso Daudi ni Saulo osenego jodolo mag Jehova Nyasaye.

22 And David said unto Abiathar, I knew [it] that day, when Doeg the Edomite [was] there, that he would surely tell Saul: I have occasioned [the death] of all the persons of thy 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 Abide thou with me, fear not: for he that seeketh my life seeketh thy life: but with me thou [shalt be] in safeguard.

Bed koda ka; kik iluor; ngʼato madwaro negino an bende odwaro nega. Onge gima nohinyi ka in koda.”
