2 Samuel 10
1 Now after this, death came to the king of the children of Ammon, and Hanun, his son, became king in his place.
Kutu pacl tok, Tokosra Nahash lun Ammon el misa, ac Hanun wen natul, el tokosrala.
2 And David said, I will be a friend to Hanun, the son of Nahash, as his father was a friend to me. So David sent his servants, to give him words of comfort on account of his father. And David's servants came into the land of the children of Ammon.
Tokosra David el fahk, “Nga enenu in akkalemye nunak in kawuk pwaye luk nu sel Hanun, oana ke Nahash papa tumal, el tuh oru nu sik.” Ouinge David el supwala mwet utuk kas in fahkak nunak in pakomuta lal ke misa papa tumal ah. Ke elos sun acn Ammon,
3 But the chiefs of the children of Ammon said to Hanun their lord, Does it seem to you that David is honouring your father by sending comforters to you? has he not sent his servants to go through the town and make secret observation of it, and overcome it?
mwet kol lun mwet Ammon elos fahk nu sin tokosra, “Ku kom nunku mu David el akfulatye papa tomom, pa sis el supwama mwet inge in fahkak kas in pakomuta lal nu sum? Sutuu na sutuu! El supwaltalma in tuh tuni siti uh, elan mau ku in eisla sesr!”
4 So Hanun took David's servants, and after cutting off half the hair on their chins, and cutting off the skirts of their robes up to the middle, he sent them away.
Na Hanun el sruokya mwet utuk kas lal David, ac resaela alut lalos, ac wotela nuknuk lalos ah ke finyepalos, ac supwalosla.
5 When David had news of it, he sent men out with the purpose of meeting them on their way, for the men were greatly shamed: and the king said, Go to Jericho till your hair is long again, and then come back.
Elos arulana mwekin in folokla nu yen selos. Ke David el lohng ke ma sikyak ah, el sapla nu yorolos tuh elos in mutana Jericho ac tia foloko nwe ke alut lalos ah kapak.
6 And when the children of Ammon saw that they had made themselves hated by David, they sent to the Aramaeans of Beth-rehob and Zobah, and got for payment twenty thousand footmen, and they got from the king of Maacah a thousand men, and from Tob twelve thousand.
Ke mwet Ammon elos akilen lah elos sifacna oru tuh David elan mwet lokoalokla lalos, na elos som moli longoul tausin mwet mweun Syria in acn Bethrehob ac Zobah, ac singoul luo tausin mwet Tob, oayapa tokosra lun Maacah wi sie tausin mwet.
7 And hearing of this, David sent Joab and all the army and the best fighting-men.
David el lohngak, na el supwalla Joab ac un mwet mweun lal nukewa.
8 And the children of Ammon came out and put their forces in position at the way into the town: and the Aramaeans of Zobah and of Rehob, with the men of Tob and Maacah, were by themselves in the field.
Mwet Ammon elos fahsr som nu ke nien utyak nu Rabbah, siti fulat lalos, ac tu na akola we. Mwet nukewa saya — mwet Syria, mwet Tob, ac mwet Maacah — elos som nu yen turangang ac akola pac in mweun we.
9 Now when Joab saw that their forces were in position against him in front and at his back, he took the best of the men of Israel and put them in line against the Aramaeans;
Joab el liye tuh mwet lokoalok lalos ac mweunelos meet ah me ac tokolos me. Ouinge el sulela mwet ma wo emeet ke mweun sin mwet Israel, ac oakelosi in lain mwet Syria.
10 And the rest of the people he put in position against the children of Ammon, with Abishai, his brother, at their head.
Ac el sang Abishai, tamulel lal, in kol mwet mweun lula nukewa, na Abishai el oakelosi in lain mwet Ammon.
11 And he said, If the Aramaeans are stronger and get the better of me, then you are to come to my help; but if the children of Ammon get the better of you, I will come to your help.
Joab el fahk nu sel, “Kom fin liye tuh mwet Syria ac kutangyula, na kom tuku kasreyu. Ac nga fin liye tuh mwet Ammon ac kutangkomla, na nga ac fahsrot kasrekom.
12 Take heart, and let us be strong for our people and for the towns of our God, and may the Lord do what seems good to him.
Kom in ku ac pulaik! Lela kut in sang kuiyasr nufon in mweun ke mwet lasr ac ke siti nukewa lun God lasr. Finsrak tuh in fahsr ou ma lungse lun LEUM GOD!”
13 Then Joab and the people with him went forward to the fight against the Aramaeans, and they went in flight before him.
Joab ac mwet lal elos fahsryak nu ke mweun, ac mwet Syria elos kaing.
14 And when the children of Ammon saw the flight of the Aramaeans, they themselves went in flight from Abishai, and came into the town. So Joab went back from fighting the children of Ammon and came to Jerusalem.
Ke mwet Ammon elos liye lah mwet Syria kaing, na elos kaingla lukel Abishai, ac foloki nu in siti uh. Na Joab el forla sisla mweun lal yurin mwet Ammon, ac folokla nu Jerusalem.
15 And when the Aramaeans saw that Israel had overcome them, they got themselves together.
Mwet Syria elos akilen lah mwet Israel elos kutangulosla, na elos pangoneni mwet mweun lalos nukewa nu sie.
16 And Hadadezer sent for the Aramaeans who were on the other side of the River: and they came to Helam, with Shobach, the captain of Hadadezer's army, at their head.
Tokosra Hadadezer el sapla nu sin mwet Syria su muta layen kutulap in Infacl Euphrates, ac elos tuku nu Helam, ye kolyuk lal Shobach, captain lun un mwet mweun lal Tokosra Hadadezer lun Zobah.
17 And word of this was given to David: and he got all Israel together and went over Jordan and came to Helam. And the Aramaeans put their forces in position against David, and made an attack on him.
Ke David el lohngak ma inge, el orani mwet mweun lun Israel ac tupalla Infacl Jordan ac som nu Helam, yen mwet Syria elos akola soanel we. Mweun uh mutawauk,
18 And the Aramaeans went in flight before Israel; and David put to the sword the men of seven hundred Aramaean war-carriages and forty thousand footmen, and Shobach, the captain of the army, was wounded, and came to his death there.
na mwet Israel elos ukwauk mwet mweun Syria. David ac mwet lal ah uniya mwet itfoko su kasrusr ke chariot, ac angngaul tausin mwet kasrusr fin horse, ac elos kantelya Shobach, captain lun un mwet mweun su lainulos, ac el misa na yen mweun ah orek we.
19 And when all the kings who were servants of Hadadezer saw that they were overcome by Israel, they made peace with Israel and became their servants. So the Aramaeans, in fear, gave no more help to the children of Ammon.
Ke tokosra ekasr su fahsr tokol Hadadezer elos akilen lah kutangyukla elos, na elos orek misla yurin mwet Israel, ac mutawauk orekma nu selos. Ac mwet Syria elos sangeng in sifilpa kasru mwet Ammon.
