1 Kings 20
1 Now Ben-hadad, king of Aram, got all his army together, and thirty-two kings with him, and horses and carriages of war; he went up and made war on Samaria, shutting it in.
Tokosra Benhadad lun Syria el orani un mwet mweun nukewa lal. Oasr kasreyal sin tokosra tolngoul luo ke mutunfacl saya, wi horse ac chariot natulos. Elos fahsryak kuhlusya acn Samaria ac mweuni.
2 And he sent representatives into the town to Ahab, king of Israel;
Tokosra Benhadad el supwala mwet utuk kas lal nu in siti uh nu yorol Tokosra Ahab lun Israel, in fahk, “Tokosra Benhadad el fahk ke sap ku lal
3 And they said to him, Ben-hadad says, Your silver and your gold are mine; and your wives and children are mine.
mu kom in fuhleang silver ac gold lom nu sel, wi mutan kiom ac tulik nukewa nutum ma ku in mano.”
4 And the king of Israel sent him an answer saying, As you say, my lord king, I am yours with all I have.
Ac Ahab el topuk ac fahk, “Folokot ac fahk nu sel Tokosra Benhadad, leum luk, lah nga ac oru oana ma el fahk. El ku in eisyu ac ma nukewa luk.”
5 Then the representatives came back again, and said, These are the words of Ben-hadad: I sent to you saying, Give up to me your silver and your gold, your wives and your children;
Tok kutu, mwet utuk kas uh sifilpa foloko nu yorol Ahab ac us pac soko sap sel Benhadad su fahk ouinge: “Nga sapot tari nu sum kom in supwama silver, gold, mutan ac tulik.
6 But I will send my servants to you tomorrow about this time, to make a search through your house and the houses of your people, and everything which is pleasing in your eyes they will take away in their hands.
A inge, nga ac supwaot mwet kol fulat lun mwet mweun luk in iluhsya kewa koanon inkul sum, oayapa lohm sin mwet kol fulat lom, ac eis ma nukewa ma elos pangon mu ma saok. Elos ac sun acn ingan pacl se pacna inge lutu.”
7 Then the king of Israel sent for all the responsible men of the land, and said, Now will you take note and see the evil purpose of this man: he sent for my wives and my children, my silver and my gold, and I did not keep them back.
Tokosra Ahab el pangoneni mwet kol nukewa lun facl sac ac fahk, “Kowos liye ke mwet se inge sukna in kunauskutla uh? El supwama kas nu sik ac sap ngan supwala mutan kiuk, tulik nutik, silver ac gold, ac nga tuh wi na sap lal.”
8 And all the responsible men and the people said to him, Do not give attention to him or do what he says.
Na mwet kol ac mwet uh topuk, “Nimet lohng ma el fahk ingan. Nimet kom munasla.”
9 So he said to the representatives of Ben-hadad, Say to my lord the king, All the orders you sent the first time I will do; but this thing I may not do. And the representatives went back with this answer.
Ouinge Ahab el fahk nu sin mwet utuk kas lal Benhadad, “Fahkang nu sel tokosra, leum luk, lah nga ac oru sap soko lal meet ah, tusruktu sap soko tok an nga tia ku in lela.” Mwet utuk kas inge som twe sifilpa foloko ke soko pac sap
10 Then Ben-hadad sent to him, saying, May the gods' punishment be on me if there is enough of the dust of Samaria for all the people at my feet to take some in their hands.
sel Benhadad, fahk mu, “Nga ac fahsrot ac us pisen mwet ma ac ku in kunausla siti sum an, ac usla nufon ipin eot mokutkuti inpaolos. Lela god uh in uniyuwi ngan misa, nga fin tia orala!”
11 And the king of Israel said in answer, Say to him, The time for loud talk is not when a man is putting on his arms, but when he is taking them off.
Tokosra Ahab el topuk, “Fahkang nu sel Tokosra Benhadad lah mwet mweun pwaye se oru konkin lal tukun mweun, tia meet liki.”
12 Now when this answer was given to Ben-hadad, he was drinking with the kings in the tents, and he said to his men, Take up your positions. So they put themselves in position for attacking the town.
Benhadad el eis top lal Ahab ke pacl se ma el, ac tokosra saya ma welul ah, nimnim in lohm nuknuk selos. El sapkin nu sin mwet mweun lal in akola in mweuni siti sac, na elos fahsryang nu yen elos ac mweun we.
13 Then a prophet came up to Ahab, king of Israel, and said, The Lord says, Have you seen all this great army? See, I will give it into your hands today, and you will see that I am the Lord.
In pacl sac, mwet palu se som nu yorol Tokosra Ahab ac fahk, “LEUM GOD El fahk, ‘Nikmet sangeng sin un mwet mweun lulap se ingan. Nga ac sot kom in kutangulosla misenge, na kom fah etu lah nga pa LEUM GOD.’”
14 And Ahab said, By whom? And he said, The Lord says, By the servants of the chiefs who are over the divisions of the land. Then he said, By whom is the fighting to be started? And he made answer, By you.
Ahab el siyuk, “Su ac us mweun uh?” Ac mwet palu sac fahk, “LEUM GOD El fahk mu mwet mweun fusr su kolyuk sin kais sie governor in acn Israel pa ac us mweun uh.” Na tokosra el siyuk, “Ac su ac sapsap nu sin mwet nukewa?” Mwet palu sac fahk, “Kom.”
15 Then he got together the servants of all the chiefs who were over the divisions of the land, two hundred and thirty-two of them; and after them, he got together all the people, all the children of Israel, seven thousand.
Ouinge tokosra el pangoneni mwet mweun fusr nukewa su muta ye kolyuk lun governor lun kais sie acn in facl Israel, su pisalos mwet luofoko tolngoul luo nufon. Na el pangonak un mwet mweun lun Israel, su pisalos mwet itkosr tausin.
16 And in the middle of the day they went out. But Ben-hadad was drinking in the tents with the thirty-two kings who were helping him.
Mweun sac mutawauk ke infulwen len, ke Benhadad ac tokosra tolngoul luo su welul elos sruhila in lohm nuknuk selos.
17 And the servants of the chiefs who were over the divisions of the land went forward first; and when Ben-hadad sent out, they gave him the news, saying, Men have come out from Samaria.
Mwet mweun fusr Israel elos fahsr meet. Benhadad el tuh supwala mwet kalngeyuk lal in liye acn meeto, ac elos foloko ac fahk nu sel lah un mwet mweun se pa tuku Samaria me.
18 And he said, If they have come out for peace, take them living, and if they have come out for war, take them living.
Benhadad el sapkin, “Elos finne tuku in mweun ku in suk misla, sruokolosi a nimet onelosla.”
19 So the servants of the chiefs of the divisions of the land went out of the town, with the army coming after them.
Mwet mweun fusr uh pa us mutun mweun uh, ac un mwet mweun lun Israel fahsr tokolos.
20 And every one of them put his man to death, and the Aramaeans went in flight with Israel after them; and Ben-hadad, king of Aram, got away safely on a horse with his horsemen.
Kais sie sin mwet mweun lun Israel inge uniya mwet se ma el anwuk nu se. Mwet Syria elos kaing, ac mwet Israel ukwalos na. A Benhadad el kaingla fin horse natul, wi pac kutu mwet mweun lal su kasrusr fin horse.
21 And the king of Israel went out and took the horses and the war-carriages, and made great destruction among the Aramaeans.
Tokosra Ahab el som nu yen mweun uh orek we, ac sruokya horse ac chariot, ac orala kutangla na lulap se fin mwet Syria.
22 Then the prophet came up to the king of Israel, and said to him, Now make yourself strong, and take care what you do, or a year from now the king of Aram will come up against you again.
Na mwet palu sac som nu yorol Tokosra Ahab ac fahk, “Folokla ac musaeak un mwet mweun lom an, akola akwoye, mweyen tokosra lun Syria el ac sifil foloko mweuni kom meet liki infulwen yac fahsru.”
23 Then the king of Aram's servants said to him, Their god is a god of the hills; that is why they were stronger than we: but if we make an attack on them in the lowlands, we will certainly be stronger than they.
Mwet kol fulat lal Tokosra Benhadad elos fahk nu sel, “God lun mwet Israel ingan elos god fineol, pa pwanang mwet Israel elos kutangkutla. Tuh kut lulalfongi na yohk lah kut ac kutangulosla kut fin mweunelos yen tupasrpasr.
24 This is what you have to do: take away the kings from their positions, and put captains in their places;
Inge kom eisla tokosra tolngoul luo liki kunokon lalos, ac sang mwet kol ma pisrla ke mweun yen tupasrpasr in aolulos.
25 And get together another army like the one which came to destruction, horse for horse, and carriage for carriage; and let us make war on them in the lowlands, and certainly we will be stronger than they. And he gave ear to what they said, and did so.
Na kom pangoneni mwet mweun lom an in pus oana pisen mwet ma tuh kaingkinkomla, ac sokak horse ac chariot in oana pisen ma wanginla. Kut ac mweuni mwet Israel yen tupasrpasr, ac kut ac fah kutangulosla ke fwil se inge.” Tokosra Benhadad el insese ke kas in kasru lalos inge, ac el oru oana.
26 So, a year later, Ben-hadad got the Aramaeans together and went up to Aphek to make war on Israel.
Meet liki infulwen yac se tok ah, el pangoneni mwet lal ac welulos som nwe ke siti Aphek in mweuni mwet Israel.
27 And the children of Israel got themselves together, and food was made ready and they went against them; the tents of the children of Israel were like two little flocks of goats before them, but all the country was full of the Aramaeans.
Mwet Israel uh pangonyukeni ac akola kufwen mwe mweun natulos, ac som nu nien aktuktuk lalos, ac orekelik nu ke u luo, ac tu forang nu sin mwet Syria. Mwet Israel inge elos oana u srisrik luo ke nani fin lumweyuk elos nu ke pisen mwet Syria, su fahsrelik ac nwakla in polo acn sac nufon.
28 And a man of God came up and said to the king of Israel, The Lord says, Because the Aramaeans have said, The Lord is a god of the hills and not of the valleys; I will give all this great army into your hands, and you will see that I am the Lord.
Sie mwet palu som nu yorol Tokosra Ahab ac fahk, “Pa inge ma LEUM GOD El fahk: ‘Mweyen mwet Syria elos fahk mu nga sie god fineol uh ac tia god nu yen tupasrpasr, nga ac sot kom in kutangla un mwet mweun lulap se inge, na kom ac mwet lom nukewa fah etu lah nga pa LEUM GOD.’”
29 Now the two armies kept their positions facing one another for seven days. And on the seventh day the fight was started; and the children of Israel put to the sword a hundred thousand Aramaean footmen in one day.
Mwet Syria ac mwet Israel elos mutana in acn elos aktuktuk we ac ngetani nu sie ke len itkosr. Ke len se akitkosr elos mutawauk in mweun, ac mwet Israel elos uniya siofok tausin mwet mweun lun Syria.
30 But the rest went in flight to Aphek, into the town, where a wall came down on the twenty-seven thousand who were still living. And Ben-hadad went in flight into the town, into an inner room.
Mwet Syria ma lula elos kaingla nu in siti Aphek, twe pot we ah topla ac toanya pac longoul itkosr tausin selos. Benhadad el kaingla pac nu in siti uh ac wikla in sie fukil oan etok ke sie lohm.
31 Then his servants said to him, It is said that the kings of Israel are full of mercy: let us then put on haircloth, and cords on our heads, and go to the king of Israel; it may be that he will give you your life.
Mwet pwapa fulat lal ah som nu yorol ac fahk, “Kut lohng mu tokosra lun mwet Israel elos mwet na kulang. Filikutla kut in losya infulwasr ke nuknuk yohk eoa ac pwelah insifasr ke sucl, ac som nu yorol tokosra lun Israel. Na sahp el ac nunak munas nu sum ac tia unikomi.”
32 So they put on haircloth, and cords on their heads, and came to the king of Israel and said, Your servant Ben-hadad says, Let me now keep my life. And he said, Is he still living? he is my brother.
Ouinge elos losya infulwalos ke nuknuk yohk eoa, ac pwelah inkwawalos ke sucl, ac som nu yorol Ahab ac fahk, “Benhadad, mwet kulansap lom, el kwafe nu sum tuh kom in lela elan moul.” Ac Ahab el fahk, “Ku el srakna moul? Wona! El oana tamulel se nu sik!”
33 Now the men took it as a sign, and quickly took up his words; and they said, Ben-hadad is your brother. Then he said, Go and get him. So Ben-hadad came out to him and he made him get up into his carriage.
Mwet pwapa fulat lal Benhadad elos tupan lah oasr akul wo elos ac liye, ac ke Ahab el fahk “tamulel” na elos sulaklak na fahk, “Pwaye sum, Benhadad el tamulel lom!” Na Ahab el sap, “Usalu nu yuruk.” Ke Benhadad el sun acn we, Ahab el solal elan fanyak welul fin chariot natul uh.
34 And Ben-hadad said to him, The towns my father took from your father I will give back; and you may make streets for yourself in Damascus as my father did in Samaria. And as for me, at the price of this agreement you will let me go. So he made an agreement with him and let him go.
Benhadad el fahk nu sel, “Nga ac folokonot siti nukewa ma papa tumuk ah tuh eisla sin papa tomom ah, ac kom fah orala sie acn in kuka ah lom in acn Damascus, oana ke papa tumuk el tuh oru in acn Samaria.” Ahab el topuk, “Ke sripen ma kital aetuila kac inge, nga ac aksukosokyekomla.” Na el orala sie wulela ku inmasrloltal, ac aksukosokyalla.
35 And a certain man of the sons of the prophets said to his neighbour by the word of the Lord, Give me a wound. But the man would not.
Ke sap lun LEUM GOD, sie mwet palu inmasrlon un mwet palu el sap sie pac selos in puokilya. Tusruktu el srangesr oru.
36 Then he said to him, Because you have not given ear to the voice of the Lord, straight away when you have gone from me a lion will put you to death. And when he had gone, straight away a lion came rushing at him and put him to death.
Na mwet se ma sapkin el fahk nu sel, “Mweyen kom tia akos ma LEUM GOD El sapkin, lion soko ac unikomi ke kom ac tufahna fahla likiyu.” Na ke el tufahna fahla lukel, lion soko fahsryak twe unilya.
37 Then he came across another man, and said, Give me a wound. And the man gave him a blow wounding him.
Na mwet palu sac sifilpa som nu yurin sie pac mwet ac fahk, “Puokyuwi!” Na el oru oana el fahk — el liksrenina puokilya na el kineta.
38 So the prophet went away, and pulling his head-band over his eyes to keep his face covered, took his place by the road waiting for the king.
Mwet palu sac pwela mutal ke nuknuk se tuh in tia akilenyuk el, ac el som tu inkanek ah, soano tokosra Israel elan tuku.
39 And when the king went by, crying out to him he said, Your servant went out into the fight; and a man came out to me with another man and said, Keep this man: if by any chance he gets away, your life will be the price of his life, or you will have to give a talent of silver in payment.
Ke pacl se tokosra el tuku, na mwet palu sac wola ac fahk, “Leum fulat, ke nga tuh muta ke mweun ah, sie sin mwet mweun ah use sie mwet lokoalok ma el tuh sruokya, ac fahk nu sik, ‘Taranul el uh. El fin kaingla, mwata ac oan fom: fin tia anwuki kom, kom ac moli ke tolu tausin ipin silver.’
40 But while your servant was turning this way and that, he was gone. Then the king of Israel said to him, You are responsible; you have given the decision against yourself.
Tusruk nga tuh kafofo ke kutepacna ma saya, na mwet sac kaingla.” Tokosra el fahk, “Kom sifacna pakiya mwe kalya nu sum uh, ac kom fah akkeokyeyuk fal nu kac.”
41 Then he quickly took the head-band from his eyes; and the king of Israel saw that he was one of the prophets.
Mwet palu sac tulakunla ipin nuknuk sac liki mutal, na tokosra el akilenulak lah sie sin mwet palu ah pa el.
42 And he said to him, These are the words of the Lord: Because you have let go from your hands the man whom I had put to the curse, your life will be taken for his life, and your people for his people.
Na mwet palu sac fahk nu sel tokosra, “Pa inge kas sin LEUM GOD: ‘Mweyen kom tuh lela mwet se nga sap in anwuki in kaingla, kom ac fah moli ke moul lom, ac un mwet mweun lom ac fah kunausyukla mweyen elos lela un mwet mweun lal in kaingla.’”
43 Then the king of Israel went back to his house, bitter and angry, and came to Samaria.
Tokosra el folokla nu in acn sel Samaria, ac el fosrnga ac inse toasr.
