1 Samuel 21

1 Then came David to Nob to Ahimelech the priest: and Ahimelech was afraid at the meeting of David, and said to him, Why art thou alone, and no man with thee?

Daudi nodhi Nob ir Ahimelek jadolo. Ahimelek nokirni kane oromo kode mopenjo niya, “Angʼo momiyo in kendi? Angʼo momiyo ngʼato ok obiro kodi?”

2 And David said to Ahimelech the priest, The king hath commanded me a business, and hath said to me, Let no man know any thing of the business about which I send thee, and what I have commanded thee: and I have appointed my servants to such and such a place.

Daudi nodwoko Ahimelek jadolo niya, “Ruoth oseora e ote moro konyisa ni, ‘Kik ngʼato ngʼe gimoro amora kuom oteni kod gik monyisi mondo itim.’ Joga to asechiko mondo waromgo kamoro.

3 Now therefore what is under thy hand? give me five loaves of bread in my hand, or what there is present.

Angʼo ma in-go ka sani? Miya makati abich kata gimoro amora minyalo yudo.”

4 And the priest answered David, and said, There is no common bread under my hand, but there is hallowed bread; if the young men have kept themselves at least from women.

To jadolo nodwoko Daudi niya, “Aonge gi makati moro amora makmana nitiere moko mowal ka, ginyalo tiyo kode mana ka giseritore ma ok gibedo e achiel gi mon.”

5 And David answered the priest, and said to him, Of a truth women have been kept from us about these three days, since I came out, and the vessels of the young men are holy, and the bread is in a manner common, yea, though it were sanctified this day in the vessel.

Daudi nodwoke niya, “Adier wasebedo mabor gi mon, mana kaka wajatimo kinde ma awuok oko. Ringre chwo to ler kata mana e ote moko ma ok ler. To koro kawuononi digibed maler maromo nade!”

6 So the priest gave him hallowed bread: for there was no bread there but the showbread, that was taken from before the LORD, to put hot bread in the day when it was taken away.

Eka jadolo nomiye makati mowal nikech ne onge makati moro amora makmana makati moket e Nyim Jehova Nyasaye migolo oko chiengʼ miketo makati maliet kargi.

7 Now a certain man of the servants of Saul was there that day, detained before the LORD; and his name was Doeg, an Edomite, the chief of the herdmen that belonged to Saul.

Koro jatich Saulo moro ne nitie kanyo chiengʼno mane ogengʼne e nyim Jehova Nyasaye; ne en Doeg ma ja-Edom, mane jatend jokwadh Saulo.

8 And David said to Ahimelech, And is there not here under thy hand a spear or sword? for I have neither brought my sword nor my weapons with me, because the king’s business required haste.

Daudi nopenjo Ahimelek niya, “Donge dibedie gi tongʼ kata ligangla moro amora ka? Ne ok akawo ligangla kata gir lweny moro amora, nikech ote ruoth nobirona mapiyo.”

9 And the priest said, The sword of Goliath the Philistine, whom thou slewest in the valley of Elah, behold, it is here wrapped in a cloth behind the ephod: if thou wilt take that, take it: for there is no other except that here. And David said, There is none like that; give it to me.

Jadolo nodwoke niya, “Ligangla Goliath ja-Filistia, mane inego e holo mar Ela, nika; oboye gi law en e tok law mayom mar dolo miluongo ni efod. Ka idware to kawe, onge ligangla moro makmana mano.” Daudi nowacho niya, “Onge moro amora machal kode; miyago.”

10 And David arose, and fled that day for fear of Saul, and went to Achish the king of Gath.

Chiengʼno Daudi noringo Saulo mi odhi ir Akish ruoth Gath.

11 And the servants of Achish said to him, Is not this David the king of the land? did they not sing one to another of him in dances, saying, Saul hath slain his thousands, and David his ten thousands?

To jotich Akish nowachone niya, “Donge ngʼatni e Daudi ma ruodh pinygi? Donge en ema gimielne ka giwer ni: “‘Saulo osenego ji alufe, to Daudi onego alufe gi alufe’?”

12 And David laid up these words in his heart, and was greatly afraid of Achish the king of Gath.

Wechegi nodonjo e chuny Daudi mi nomiyo oluoro Akish ruoth Gath ahinya.

13 And he changed his behaviour before them, and pretended to be mad in their hands, and made marks on the doors of the gate, and let his spittle fall down upon his beard.

Omiyo nowuondore ni en janeko e nyimgi kanyo, kane en e lwetgi notimo timbe mag janeko, kogwaro dhorangach kendo koweyo olawo wuok e dhoge nyaka e yie tike.

14 Then said Achish to his servants, Lo, ye see the man is mad: why then have ye brought him to me?

Akish nowachone jotije niya, “Ngʼiuru ngʼatni en janeko! Angʼo momiyo ukele ira?

15 Have I need of mad men, that ye have brought this fellow to play the mad man in my presence? shall this fellow come into my house?

Uparo ni aonge gi joneko moromo momiyo ukelo ngʼatni e nyima? Ne ochuno ni nyaka ngʼatni bi e oda?”
