1 Chronicles 20
1 And it came to pass, at the time of the return of the year, at the time when kings go out [to battle], that Joab led forth the power of the army, and wasted the country of the children of Ammon, and came and besieged Rabbah. But David tarried at Jerusalem. And Joab smote Rabbah, and overthrew it.
E kinde chakruok oro, e ndalo ma ruodhi thoro wuok kadhi kedo, Joab nowuok gi jolwenjgo momanore gi gige lweny. Ne omuko moketho piny jo-Amon bangʼe odhi Raba ma olwore gi jolweny, Daudi to nodongʼ Jerusalem. Joab nomonjo Raba moweyo kokethe chuth.
2 And David took the crown of their king from off his head, and found it to weigh a talent of gold, and there were precious stones in it; and it was set upon David’s head: and he brought forth the spoil of the city, exceeding much.
Daudi nogolo osimbo ewi ruodhgi, ma pek mar dhahabu molosego nonwangʼ ni dirom kilo piero adek gangʼwen, kendo nochom kuome kite ma nengogi tek mi nosidhe ewi Daudi. Nokawo gik mangʼeny mane oyako e dala maduongʼno
3 And he brought forth the people that were therein, and cut [them] with saws, and with harrows of iron, and with axes. And thus did David unto all the cities of the children of Ammon. And David and all the people returned to Jerusalem.
kendo nodaro joma nodak kanyo moketogi e tich mar tiyogi musmende, kod tindo mag chuma kod ledhi. Daudi notimo mano ne mier duto mag jo-Amon. Bangʼe Daudi gi jolweny mage duto nodok Jerusalem.
4 And it came to pass after this, that there arose war at Gezer with the Philistines: then Sibbecai the Hushathite slew Sippai, of the sons of the giant: and they were subdued.
E kinde mamoko lweny nowuok Gezer e kindgi gi jo-Filistia. E ndalogo Sibekai ma ja-Hushath nonego Sipai mane en achiel kuom nyikwa Refai omiyo nolo jo-Filistia.
5 And there was again war with the Philistines; and Elhanan the son of Jair slew Lahmi the brother of Goliath the Gittite, the staff of whose spear was like a weaver’s beam.
E lweny machielo gi jo-Filistia, Elhanan wuod Jair nonego Lami ma owadgi Goliath ja-Giti mane ni kod tongʼ ma bonde romo gi lodi.
6 And there was again war at Gath, where was a man of great stature, whose fingers and toes were four and twenty, six [on each hand], and six [on each foot]; and he also was born unto the giant.
Lweny machielo nochako owuok Gath, kama ne nitie ngʼat marabet mane nigi lith lwedo auchiel gi lith tielo auchiel koni gi koni, lith lwetene gi mag tiendene koriw to ne romo piero ariyo gangʼwen. En bende ne en nyakwar Rafa.
7 And when he defied Israel, Jonathan the son of Shimea David’s brother slew him.
To kane othiano ni jo-Israel, Jonathan wuod Shimea ma owadgi Daudi nonege.
8 These were born unto the giant in Gath; and they fell by the hand of David, and by the hand of his servants.
Magi ne nyikwa Rafa ja-Gath mane Daudi gi joge onego.
