2 Samuel 17
1 Then Ahithophel said to Absalom, Let me take out twelve thousand men and this very night I will go after David:
Tia paht toko, Ahithophel el fahk nu sel Absalom, “Lela ngan sulela singoul luo tausin mwet, na kut ac som ukwal David ofong.
2 And I will come up with him when he is tired and feeble, and make him full of fear: and all the people with him will go in flight; and I will make an attack on the king only:
Nga ac fah mweunel ke pacl el totola ac munasla nunkal. El ac fah sangeng, ac mwet lal nukewa ac fah kaingla. Tokosra mukena pa nga ac uniya,
3 And I will make all the people come back to you as a bride comes back to her husband: it is the life of only one man you are going after; so all the people will be at peace.
na nga ac folokonma mwet lal nukewa nu yurum, oana ke sie mutan pisrla el foloko nu yurin mukul tumal. Moul lun mwet sefanna pa kom suk an, na mwet saya nukewa fah moul in misla.”
4 And the saying was pleasing to Absalom and to the responsible men of Israel.
Kas in kasru inge wo sel Absalom ac sin mwet kol nukewa lun mwet Israel.
5 Then Absalom said, Now send for Hushai the Archite, and let us give ear to what he has to say.
Na Absalom el fahk, “Pangnolma Hushai ac lela kut in lohng lah mea el ac fahk uh.”
6 And when Hushai came, Absalom said to him, This is what Ahithophel has said: are we to do as he says? if not, what is your suggestion?
Ke Hushai el tuku, Absalom el fahk nu sel, “Pa inge kas in kasru lal Ahithophel nu sesr uh. Fuka, kut ac wi na? Fin tia, kom fahk lah mea kut ac oru.”
7 And Hushai said to Absalom, Ahithophel's idea is not a good one at this time.
Na Hushai el fahk, “Kas in kasru lal Ahithophel nu sum ke pacl se inge uh tiana wo.
8 Hushai said further, You have knowledge of your father and his men, that they are men of war, and that their feelings are bitter, like those of a bear in the field whose young ones have been taken from her: and your father is a man of war, and will not take his night's rest with the people;
Kom etu na lah David, papa tomom, ac mwet lal elos arulana fokoko ke mweun, ac sulallal lalos oana sulallal lun soko bear mutan ma pusrla ma natul lukel. Papa tomom el mwet na fas ke mweun, ac el tia wi muta yurin mwet lal ah ke fong uh.
9 But he will certainly have taken cover now in some hole or secret place; and if some of our people, at the first attack, are overcome, then any hearing of it will say, There is destruction among the people who are on Absalom's side.
Inge sahp el ana wikwik oasr in luf se, ku kutu pacna acn saya. Ke pacl se na David el ac lain mwet lom an, kutena mwet fin lohng kac elos ac fahk mu mwet lom an kuf tari.
10 Then even the strongest, whose heart is like the heart of a lion, will become like water; for all Israel is conscious that your father is a man of war, and those who are with him are strong and without fear.
Na finne mwet su arulana pulaik ac nikin sangeng oana lion uh, elos ac sangeng mweyen mwet Israel nukewa etu na lah papa tomom el sie mwet mweun pwengpeng, ac mwet lal ah arulana fokoko ke mweun.
11 But my suggestion is that all Israel, from Dan as far as Beer-sheba, comes together to you, a great army like the sands of the sea in number; and that you yourself go out among them.
Kas in kasru luk nu sum uh pa kom in orani mwet Israel nukewa, mutawauk na oe epang oatula nwe eir, ac pisalos in oana puk weacn uh, na kom in sifacna kololos nu ke mweun uh.
12 Then we will come on him in some place, wherever he may be, falling on him as the dew comes on the earth: and of him and all the men who are with him not one will get away with his life.
Kut ac konalak David yen el oasr we, ac mweunel meet liki el etu lah mea sikyak. Na el ac mwet lal nukewa ac fah misa, wangin sie ac fah moul.
13 And if he has gone into some town, then let all Israel take strong cords to that town, and we will have it pulled into the valley, till not one small stone is to be seen there.
El fin kaingyak nu in sie siti, na mwet lasr uh ac use sucl in amakinya siti sac nu ten nu infahlfal uh. Wangin sie eot ac fah oan fin tohktok we uh.”
14 Then Absalom and all the men of Israel said, Hushai's suggestion is better than that of Ahithophel. For it was the purpose of the Lord to make the wise designs of Ahithophel without effect, so that the Lord might send evil on Absalom.
Absalom ac mwet Israel nukewa elos fahk, “Kas in kasru lal Hushai wo liki kas lal Ahithophel.” LEUM GOD El tuh wotela mu mwet uh in tia eis kas in kasru wo lal Ahithophel, pwanang ongoiya ac tuku nu facl Absalom.
15 Then Hushai said to Zadok and Abiathar, the priests, This is the suggestion made by Ahithophel to Absalom and the responsible men of Israel, and this is what I said to them.
Na Hushai el fahkang nu sel mwet tol Zadok ac Abiathar ke kas in kasru ma el sang nu sel Absalom ac mwet kol lun mwet Israel, oayapa ke kas in kasru lal Ahithophel nu selos.
16 So now send the news quickly to David, and say, Do not take your night's rest by the way across the river to the waste land, but be certain to go over; or the king and all the people with him will come to destruction.
Na el sifilpa fahk, “Sulaklak, sapla nwe yorol David elan tia motulla ke acn in tupalla infacl ah yen mwesis, a elos in tupalla na Infacl Jordan ofong, tuh el ac mwet lal in tia tukeni sruoh ac anwuki.”
17 Now Jonathan and Ahimaaz were waiting by En-rogel; and a servant-girl went from time to time and gave them news and they went with the news to King David, for it was not wise for them to let themselves be seen coming into the town.
Jonathan wen natul Abiathar, ac Ahimaaz wen natul Zadok, eltal muta soano ke unon in kof se pangpang Enrogel su oan likin pot in Jerusalem, mweyen eltal tia lungse mwet uh in liyaltal eltal fin utyak nu in siti uh. Oasr sie tulik mutan kulansap su muta fahsr nu yoroltal ac fahkang nu seltal ma orek uh, na eltal ac som fahk nu sel Tokosra David.
18 But a boy saw them, and gave word of it to Absalom: so the two of them went away quickly, and came to the house of a man in Bahurim who had a water-hole in his garden, and they went down into it.
Sie len ah tulik mukul se liyaltalak ac som fahk nu sel Absalom. Na eltal kaingla ac wikla ke lohm sin sie mukul Bahurim. Oasr lufin kof se apkuran nu lohm sel ah, na eltal tili nu loac.
19 And a woman put a cover over the hole, and put crushed grain on top of it, and no one had any knowledge of it.
Mutan kien mukul sac usla mwe afyuf se sang afinya luf sac, na el sisalik fita in wheat nu fac in mau tia akilenyuk lah oasr ma loac.
20 And Absalom's servants came to the woman at the house and said, Where are Ahimaaz and Jonathan? And the woman said to them, They have gone from here to the stream. And after searching for them, and seeing nothing of them, they went back to Jerusalem.
Mwet pwapa lal Absalom elos tuku nu yurin mutan sac ac fahk, “El aya Ahimaaz ac Jonathan?” Ac mutan sac topuk, “Eltal srooht infacl an wot.” Mwet uh sokoltal tuh tia ku in konaltalak, na elos folokla nu Jerusalem.
21 Then after the servants had gone away, they came up out of the water-hole and went to give King David the news; and they said, Get up and go quickly over the water, for such and such are Ahithophel's designs against you.
Tukun mwet ah folokla, Ahimaaz ac Jonathan fanyak liki luf sac, ac som fahkak nu sel Tokosra David ke ma Ahithophel el akoo in oru lainul David. Eltal fahk, “Sulaklak tupalla infacl ah.”
22 So David and all the people who were with him went up over Jordan: when dawn came, every one of them had gone over Jordan.
Ke ma inge David ac mwet lal mutawauk in srola liki Infacl Jordan, ac ke lenelik elos nukewa tupalla tari.
23 Now when Ahithophel saw that his suggestion was not acted on, he got his ass ready, and went back to his house, to the town where he came from, and having put his house in order, he put himself to death by hanging; so he came to his end and was put in the resting-place of his father.
Ke Ahithophel el liye lah mwet uh elos tiana oru oana kas in kasru lal nu selos, na el filiya mwe muta fin donkey natul, ac folokla nu in acn sel. Tukun el oakiya ma lal nukewa in wo, na el sifacna loksakla. El misa ac pukpuki ke kulyuk lun sou lal ah.
24 And David came to Mahanaim. And Absalom, with all the men of Israel, went over Jordan.
Ke pacl se Absalom ac mwet lal ah tupalla Infacl Jordan, David el sun tari acn Mahanaim. (
25 And Absalom put Amasa at the head of the army in place of Joab. Now Amasa was the son of a man named Ithra the Ishmaelite, who had been the lover of Abigail, the daughter of Jesse, sister of Zeruiah, Joab's mother.
Absalom el eisalang Amasa elan captain lun un mwet mweun, aolul Joab. Amasa el wen natul Jether mwet Ishmael, ac nina kial pa Abigail acn natul Nahash, ac tamtael lal Zeruiah, nina kial Joab.)
26 And Israel and Absalom put up their tents in the land of Gilead.
Absalom ac mwet lal elos tulokinya lohm nuknuk selos in acn Gilead.
27 Now when David had come to Mahanaim, Shobi, the son of Nahash of Rabbah, the Ammonite, and Machir, the son of Ammiel of Lo-debar, and Barzillai the Gileadite of Rogelim,
Pacl se David el sun acn Mahanaim, mwet tolu inge tuku sonol: Shobi wen natul Nahash, sie mwet in siti Rabbah in acn Ammon; ac Machir wen natul Ammiel, sie mwet Lodebar; ac Barzillai, sie mwet Rogelim in acn Gilead.
28 Came with beds and basins and pots, and grain and meal, and all sorts of dry foods,
Eltal use mwe oan, pesin, ahlu orek ke kle, oayapa mwe mongo inge nal David ac mwet lal: wheat, barley, flao, fita manman, bean, pea,
29 And honey and butter and sheep and milk-cheeses, for David and his people: for they said, This people is in the waste land, needing food and drink and rest.
honey, cheese, cream, ac kutu sheep. Eltal etu lah David ac mwet lal ah masrinsral ac malu ac totola yen mwesis.
