Sie Chronicle 19
1 Kutu pacl tok, Tokosra Nahash lun Ammon el misa, ac Hanun wen natul, el tokosrala.
And it happened after this, that Nahash the king of the people of Ammon died, and his son Hanun reigned in his place.
2 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, ac utyak nu yorol Tokosra Hanun,
David said, "I will show kindness to Hanun the son of Nahash, because his father showed kindness to me." So David sent messengers to comfort him concerning his father. David's servants came into the land of the people of Ammon to Hanun, to comfort him.
3 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 supwalosme in tuh tuni siti uh, elan mau ku in eisla sesr!”
But the leaders of the people of Ammon said to Hanun, "Do you think that David honors your father, in that he has sent comforters to you? Haven't his servants come to you to search, to overthrow, and to spy out the land?"
4 Hanun el sruokya mwet utuk kas lal David, ac resaela alut lalos, ac wotela nuknuk lalos ah ke finyepalos, ac supwalosla.
So Hanun took David's servants, and shaved them, and cut off their garments in the middle, even to their buttocks, and sent them away.
5 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.
Then there went certain persons, and told David how the men were served. He sent to meet them; for the men were greatly ashamed. The king said, "Stay at Jericho until your beards have grown, and then return."
6 Tokosra Hanun ac mwet Ammon elos akilen lah elos sifacna oru tuh David elan mwet lokoalok lac lalos. Ke ma inge elos sang apkuran in oalngoul tausin paun in silver nu sin mwet in acn Mesopotamia Lucng, oayapa mwet Maacah ac Zobah in acn Syria, tuh elos in moli chariot ac mwet in utuk chariot.
When the people of Ammon saw that they had made themselves odious to David, Hanun and the people of Ammon sent one thousand talents of silver to hire them chariots and horsemen out of Mesopotamia, and out of Aram Maacah, and out of Zobah.
7 Oasr chariot tolngoul luo tausin elos srukak, ac mwet mweun lal Tokosra Maacah elos tuku ac tulokunak nien aktuktuk lalos apkuran nu Medeba. Mwet Ammon elos wi pac tuku liki siti nukewa selos, ac elos akola in mweun.
So they hired for themselves thirty-two thousand chariots, and the king of Maacah and his people, who came and camped before Medeba. The people of Ammon gathered themselves together from their cities, and came to battle.
8 Ke David el lohng ma sikyak inge, el supwalla Joab ac mwet mweun lal nukewa.
When David heard of it, he sent Joab, and all the army of the mighty men.
9 Mwet Ammon elos fahsr som nu ke nien utyak nu Rabbah, siti fulat lalos, ac tu na akola we. Na tokosra su tuku in welulos ke mweun, elos som nu yen turangang ac akola pac we.
The people of Ammon came out, and put the battle in array at the gate of the city: and the kings who had come were by themselves in the field.
10 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.
Now when Joab saw that the battle was set against him before and behind, he chose of all the choice men of Israel, and put them in array against the Arameans.
11 Na el sang Abishai, tamulel lal, in kol mwet mweun lula nukewa, ac Abishai el oakelosi in lain mwet Ammon.
The rest of the people he committed into the hand of Abishai his brother; and they put themselves in array against the people of Ammon.
12 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.
He said, "If the Arameans are too strong for me, then you are to help me; but if the people of Ammon are too strong for you, then I will help you.
13 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!”
Be courageous, and let us be strong for our people, and for the cities of our God. May the LORD do that which seems good to him."
14 Joab ac mwet lal fahsryak nu meet in mweun, ac mwet Syria elos kaing.
So Joab and the people who were with him drew near before the Arameans to the battle; and they fled before him.
15 Ke mwet Ammon elos liye lah mwet Syria kaing, na elos kaingkunul Abishai, ac foloki nu in siti uh. Na Joab el folokla nu Jerusalem.
When the people of Ammon saw that the Arameans had fled, they likewise fled before Abishai his brother, and entered into the city. Then Joab came to Jerusalem.
16 Mwet Syria elos akilen lah mwet Israel elos kutangulosla, na elos use un mwet mweun Syria su muta layen kutulap in Infacl Euphrates, ac eisalosyang nu inpaol Shobach, captain lun un mwet mweun lal Tokosra Hadadezer lun Zobah.
When the Arameans saw that they were defeated by Israel, they sent messengers, and drew forth the Arameans who were beyond the River, with Shobach the captain of the army of Hadadezer at their head.
17 Ke David el lohngak ma inge, el orani mwet mweun lun Israel ac tupalla Infacl Jordan, ac oakelosi in lain mwet Syria. Mweun uh srola,
It was told David; and he gathered all Israel together, and passed over the Jordan, and came on them, and set the battle in array against them. So when David had put the battle in array against the Arameans, they fought with him.
18 na mwet Israel elos ukwauk mwet mweun Syria. David ac mwet lal ah uniya mwet itkosr tausin su kasrusr ke chariot, ac angngaul tausin mwet kasrusr fin horse. Elos oayapa unilya Shobach, captain lun mwet mweun Syria ah.
The Arameans fled before Israel; and David killed of the Arameans the men of seven thousand chariots, and forty thousand footmen, and killed Shobach the captain of the army.
19 Ke tokosra kewa su orekma nu sel Hadadezer elos akilen lah kutangyukla elos sin mwet Israel, na elos orek misla yorol David, ac mutawauk in orekma nu sel. Mwet Syria elos tia sifil lungse kasru mwet Ammon.
When the servants of Hadadezer saw that they were defeated by Israel, they made peace with David, and served him: neither would the Arameans help the people of Ammon any more.
