1And it came to pass, when David and his men were come to Ziklag on the third day, that the Amalekites had invaded the south, and Ziklag, and smitten Ziklag, and burned it with fire;
1 Waato kaŋ Dawda nda nga borey kaa ka to Ziklag, i zaari hinzanta hane, kala Amalekancey go, i jin ka kande wurrandi Negeb* da Ziklag gaa. I na Ziklag kar k'a ton da danji.
2And had taken the women captives, that were therein: they slew not any, either great or small, but carried them away, and went on their way.
2 I na wayborey kaŋ go a ra ku, ikayney da ibeerey. I mana boro kulu wi, amma i kond'ey ka ngey fonda gana.
3So David and his men came to the city, and, behold, it was burned with fire; and their wives, and their sons, and their daughters, were taken captives.
3 Waato kaŋ Dawda nda nga borey to kwaara do, kal a go, danji jin k'a ŋwa. I ize arey da ize wayey mo, d'i wandey, Amalekancey n'i ku.
4Then David and the people that were with him lifted up their voice and wept, until they had no more power to weep.
4 Waato din gaa Dawda nda nga borey kulu kaŋ yaŋ go a banda na jinde sambu ka hẽ hal a to naŋ kaŋ i sinda baa hẽeno gaabi koyne.
5And David's two wives were taken captives, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess, and Abigail the wife of Nabal the Carmelite.
5 Dawda wande hinka mo, i konda ikulu, Ahinowam, Yezreyel bora, da Abigayil, Nabal Karmel bora wande zeena.
6And David was greatly distressed; for the people spake of stoning him, because the soul of all the people was grieved, every man for his sons and for his daughters: but David encouraged himself in the LORD his God.
6 Dawda go ga maa doori nga bina ra gumo, zama i goono ga salaŋ ka ne i g'a catu-catu nda tondiyaŋ. Zama jama kulu bine sara, boro fo kulu nga ize arey da ize wayay se. Amma Dawda na nga bina gaabandi Rabbi nga Irikoyo ra.
7And David said to Abiathar the priest, Ahimelech's son, I pray thee, bring me hither the ephod. And Abiathar brought thither the ephod to David.
7 Dawda ne Alfa Abiyatar, Ahimelek izo se: «Kand'ay se efod* kwaayo neewo.» Abiyatar mo na efod kwaayo sambu ka kand'a Dawda se.
8And David inquired at the LORD, saying, Shall I pursue after this troop? shall I overtake them? And he answered him, Pursue: for thou shalt surely overtake them, and without fail recover all.
8 Dawda binde saaware Rabbi gaa ka ne: «D'ay na wurrandi izey wo gana, ay ga to r'ey, wala?» Rabbi tu a se ka ne: «I ce gana, zama haciika ni g'i to. Hay kulu si ganji mo, ni ma ye k'i kulu ta.»
9So David went, he and the six hundred men that were with him, and came to the brook Besor, where those that were left behind stayed.
9 Dawda binde koy, nga nda boro zangu iddo kaŋ go a banda din. I kaa Bezor gooro me gaa, naŋ kaŋ i na boro fooyaŋ naŋ kaŋ ga goro banda.
10But David pursued, he and four hundred men: for two hundred abode behind, which were so faint that they could not go over the brook Besor.
10 Amma Dawda n'i gana, nga nda boro zangu taaci, zama boro zangu hinka kay banda, ngey kaŋ yaŋ gaze hal i si hin ka Bezor gooro daŋandi.
11And they found an Egyptian in the field, and brought him to David, and gave him bread, and he did eat; and they made him drink water;
11 I di Misira boro fo batamey din ra, ka kand'a Dawda do. I n'a no ŋwaari, a ŋwa. I n'a no hari mo, a haŋ.
12And they gave him a piece of a cake of figs, and two clusters of raisins: and when he had eaten, his spirit came again to him: for he had eaten no bread, nor drunk any water, three days and three nights.
12 I n'a no jeejay takula zanjarmi, da reyzin* fafa hinka. Waato kaŋ a ŋwa, a fundo ye ka kaa a gaa, zama zaari hinza nda cin hinza no a mana ŋwaari ŋwa, a mana hari haŋ.
13And David said unto him, To whom belongest thou? and whence art thou? And he said, I am a young man of Egypt, servant to an Amalekite; and my master left me, because three days agone I fell sick.
13 Dawda ne a se: «May do no ni go? Man no ni fun mo?» Bora ne: «Ay ya Misira arwasu no, Amalekance fo bannya. Ay koyo mo n'ay furu, zama hunkuna ay jirbi hinza kaŋ doori fo n'ay di.
14We made an invasion upon the south of the Cherethites, and upon the coast which belongeth to Judah, and upon the south of Caleb; and we burned Ziklag with fire.
14 Iri konda wurrandi no Keritancey gaa Negeb ra, da Yahuda laabo gaa, da Kaleb banda laabo gaa Negeb ra mo. Iri na Ziklag mo ton da danji.»
15And David said to him, Canst thou bring me down to this company? And he said, Swear unto me by God, that thou wilt neither kill me, nor deliver me into the hands of my master, and I will bring thee down to this company.
15 Dawda ne a se: «Ni ga konda ay hala wurrandi izey din do, wala?» Nga mo ne a se: «Ze ay se da Irikoy ka ne ni s'ay wi, ni s'ay daŋ ay koyo kambe ra mo. Ay mo kala ay ma konda nin wurrandi izey din do.»
16And when he had brought him down, behold, they were spread abroad upon all the earth, eating and drinking, and dancing, because of all the great spoil that they had taken out of the land of the Philistines, and out of the land of Judah.
16 Waato kaŋ a kond'ey, wiiza, i go kar-kasante yaŋ batama ra. I goono ga ŋwa, i goono ga haŋ, i go batu teeyaŋ gaa, arzaka booba kaŋ i ku Filistancey laabo da Yahudiya laabo ra din sabbay se.
17And David smote them from the twilight even unto the evening of the next day: and there escaped not a man of them, save four hundred young men, which rode upon camels, and fled.
17 Dawda mo n'i kar za cino din ra kal a suba wiciri kambo. I ra sinda boro kaŋ yana, kala day i ra gaabikooni fooyaŋ, sanda boro zangu taaci cine kaŋ na yoyaŋ kaaru ka yana.
18And David recovered all that the Amalekites had carried away: and David rescued his two wives.
18 Dawda ye ka hay kulu kaŋ Amalekancey kom din ta. Dawda na nga wande hinka mo faaba.
19And there was nothing lacking to them, neither small nor great, neither sons nor daughters, neither spoil, nor any thing that they had taken to them: David recovered all.
19 Hay kulu mo mana maray i ra, ikayna gaa, ibeeri gaa, ize aru wala ize way, wala arzaka, wala day hay kulu kaŋ i du ngey boŋ se. I kulu Dawda ye ka kand'ey.
20And David took all the flocks and the herds, which they drave before those other cattle, and said, This is David's spoil.
20 Dawda na haw kurey da feeji kurey kulu mo ta, kaŋ yaŋ i gaaray i hawey jine. I ne: «Wongu albarka woone, Dawda wane no.»
21And David came to the two hundred men, which were so faint that they could not follow David, whom they had made also to abide at the brook Besor: and they went forth to meet David, and to meet the people that were with him: and when David came near to the people, he saluted them.
21 Dawda ye ka kaa boro zangu hinka kaŋ yaŋ gaze din do. I mana hin ka Dawda gana, day i n'i daŋ i ma goro Bezor gooro me gaa. I koy ngey ma Dawda kubay se, nga nda borey kaŋ yaŋ go a banda. Waato kaŋ Dawda maan borey din, kal a n'i fo.
22Then answered all the wicked men and men of Belial, of those that went with David, and said, Because they went not with us, we will not give them ought of the spoil that we have recovered, save to every man his wife and his children, that they may lead them away, and depart.
22 Waato din no boro laaley da ize yaamey kulu kaŋ go Dawda banda na me daŋ ka ne: «Za kaŋ i mana koy iri banda, iri mo s'i no hay kulu wongu albarka kaŋ iri ta din ra, kala day i ma afo kulu no nga wando nda nga izey, zama i m'i sambu ka kond'ey.»
23Then said David, Ye shall not do so, my brethren, with that which the LORD hath given us, who hath preserved us, and delivered the company that came against us into our hand.
23 Kala Dawda ne: «Ay nya-izey, araŋ ma si te yaadin da haŋ kaŋ Rabbi n'iri no, nga kaŋ n'iri haggoy. I wongu marga kaŋ kaa iri gaa mo, a n'a daŋ iri kambe ra.
24For who will hearken unto you in this matter? but as his part is that goeth down to the battle, so shall his part be that tarrieth by the stuff: they shall part alike.
24 May no ga maa araŋ sanno se hayo wo ra? Zama sanda mate kaŋ cine boro kaŋ koy wongo do baa ga bara, yaadin mo no boro kaŋ goro jinayey do wane ga bara. I ga fay ka saba no.»
25And it was so from that day forward, that he made it a statute and an ordinance for Israel unto this day.
25 A ciya binde za han din hane ka koy jina, woodin ciya lordi nda alaada Israyla ra hala hunkuna.
26And when David came to Ziklag, he sent of the spoil unto the elders of Judah, even to his friends, saying, Behold a present for you of the spoil of the enemies of the LORD;
26 Waato kaŋ Dawda kaa Ziklag, a kaa wongu albarka ra ka samba Yahudiya arkusey se, danga a corey nooya, ka ne: «Araŋ nooyaŋo neeya, kaŋ fun Rabbi ibarey arzakey ra.»
27To them which were in Bethel, and to them which were in south Ramoth, and to them which were in Jattir,
27 A samba borey kaŋ yaŋ go Betel ra se, da borey kaŋ yaŋ go Ramot Negeb ra wane se, da borey kaŋ yaŋ go Yattir ra,
28And to them which were in Aroer, and to them which were in Siphmoth, and to them which were in Eshtemoa,
28 da borey kaŋ yaŋ go Arower ra, da borey kaŋ yaŋ go Sifmot ra da Estemowa ra,
29And to them which were in Rachal, and to them which were in the cities of the Jerahmeelites, and to them which were in the cities of the Kenites,
29 da borey kaŋ yaŋ go Rakal ra, da borey kaŋ yaŋ go Yera-Melancey kwaarey ra, da borey kaŋ yaŋ go Kenancey kwaarey ra,
30And to them which were in Hormah, and to them which were in Chorashan, and to them which were in Athach,
30 da borey kaŋ yaŋ go Horma ra, da borey kaŋ yaŋ go Korasan, da borey kaŋ yaŋ go Atak ra,
31And to them which were in Hebron, and to all the places where David himself and his men were wont to haunt.
31 da borey kaŋ yaŋ go Hebron ra se, da nangu cindey kulu kaŋ yaŋ ra Dawda nda nga borey doona ka koy.
