Luo Samuel 15

1 Tukun ma inge Absalom el akoela chariot se ac horse ekasr nu sel sifacna, oayapa mwet lumngaul in atlol.

Now after this, Absalom got for himself a carriage and horses, and fifty runners to go before him.

2 El ac toang tukakek ac som tu pe inkanek ah ke mutunpot lun siti ah. Na pacl nukewa mwet se fin tuku in fahkak sie fohs ku alein ma el lungse tuh tokosra elan aksuwosye, na Absalom el ac pangonma mwet sac ac siyuk lah el tuku ya me. Tukun mwet sac el fahk lah el tuku ke sruf ya me,

And Absalom got up early, morning after morning, and took his place at the side of the public meeting-place: and when any man had a cause which had to come to the king to be judged, then Absalom, crying out to him, said, What is your town? and he would say, Your servant is of one of the tribes of Israel.

3 na Absalom el ac fahk, “Liye, ma sap uh wi kom lac, tusruktu wangin aolyal tokosra in lohng ke tukak lom uh.”

And Absalom would say to him, See, your cause is true and right; but no man has been named by the king to give you a hearing.

4 Ac el ac sifilpa fahk, “Saok ngan mwet nununku se! Lukun kutena mwet su oasr amei ku tukak yorol, ku in tuku nu yuruk ac nga sang nununku suwohs nu sel.”

And more than this, Absalom said, If only I was made judge in the land, so that every man who has any cause or question might come to me, and I would give a right decision for him!

5 Mwet sac fin kalukyang nu yorol Absalom in srimi ye mutal, na Absalom el ac saplakot sruokilya ac ngokya mutal.

And if any man came near to give him honour, he took him by the hand and gave him a kiss.

6 Absalom el oru ouinge nu sin mwet Israel nukewa su tuku nu yurin tokosra in suk nununku suwohs, ouinge mwet nukewa insewowo sel.

And this Absalom did to everyone in Israel who came to the king to have his cause judged: so Absalom, like a thief, took away the hearts of the men of Israel.

7 Tukun yac akosr Absalom el fahk nu sel Tokosra David, “Leum luk, lela ngan som nu Hebron, ac akfalye wulela se nga wuleang nu sin LEUM GOD kac.

Now at the end of four years, Absalom said to the king, Let me go to Hebron and give effect to the oath which I made to the Lord:

8 Ke pacl se nga muta in acn Geshur in acn Syria, nga tuh wulela nu sin LEUM GOD mu El fin folokinyula nu Jerusalem, nga ac alu nu sel in acn Hebron.”

For while I was living in Geshur in Aram, your servant made an oath, saying, If ever the Lord lets me come back to Jerusalem, I will give him worship in Hebron.

9 Na tokosra el fahk, “Fahsr in misla.” Ouinge Absalom el som nu Hebron.

And the king said to him, Go in peace. So he got up and went to Hebron.

10 Tusruktu el supwala mwet utuk kas nu sin sruf nukewa Israel in fahk, “Pacl se kowos lohngak pusren mwe ukuk uh, kowos sala ac fahk, ‘Absalom el tokosrala in acn Hebron!’”

But Absalom at the same time sent watchers through all the tribes of Israel to say, At the sound of the horn you are to say, Absalom is king in Hebron.

11 Absalom el tuh suli mwet luofoko in acn Jerusalem in welul som. Elos tiana etu ke pwapa lukma se el akoo — elos fahsrna ke sripen elos lulalfongel.

And with Absalom, at his request, went two hundred men from Jerusalem, who were completely unconscious of his designs.

12 Ke pacl Absalom el oru kisa lal, el supwala pac mwet nu in acn Gilo elos in solal Ahithophel, su sie sin mwet pwapa fulat lal Tokosra David. Pwapa se lal Absalom in lain tokosra inge kui, ac pisen mwet lal yokyokelik.

And Absalom sent for Ahithophel the Gilonite, one of David's helpers, from Giloh his town, while he was making the offerings. And the design against David became strong, for more and more people were joined to Absalom.

13 Sie mwet utuk kas el som fahk nu sel David, “Mwet Israel elos wulela lah elos ac welulla Absalom.”

And one came to David and said, The hearts of the men of Israel have gone after Absalom.

14 Ouinge David el fahk nu sin mwet pwapa nukewa lal su welul muta Jerusalem, “Kut enenu in som liki acn Jerusalem ingena, kut fin lungse kaingla lukel Absalom! Aksaye! El akura tuku nu inge, kutangkutla ac uniya mwet nukewa in siti uh!”

And David said to all his servants who were with him at Jerusalem, Come, let us go in flight, or not one of us will be safe from Absalom: let us go without loss of time, or he will overtake us quickly and send evil on us, and put the town to the sword.

15 Na elos fahk, “Aok, leum fulat lasr. Kut akola in oru ma nukewa kom fahk.”

And the king's servants said to the king, See, your servants are ready to do whatever the king says is to be done.

16 Na tokosra el mukuila wi sou lal nukewa, ac mwet pwapa lal, sayen mutan kulansap singoul kial ma el filiya in karingin lohm sin tokosra.

So the king went out, taking with him all the people of his house, but for ten of his women, who were to take care of the house.

17 Ke tokosra ac mwet lal nukewa som liki siti uh, elos tui ke lohm se safla.

And the king went out, and all his servants went after him, and made a stop at the Far House.

18 Mwet pwapa lal nukewa elos tu siskal ke mwet mweun karinginyal elos fahsr ye mutal. Mwet mweun onfoko ma welulma liki acn Gath elos oayapa fahla ye mutal.

And all the people went on by his side; and all the Cherethites and all the Pelethites and all the men of Ittai of Gath, six hundred men who came after him from Gath, went on before the king.

19 Ac tokosra el fahk nu sel Ittai, mwet kol lun mwet Gath inge, “Efu ku kom wi kut som? Folokla muta yurin tokosra sasu sac. Kom sie mwetsac ac kom kaingla liki facl sum sifacna.

Then the king said to Ittai the Gittite, Why are you coming with us? go back and keep with the king: for you are a man of another country, you are far from the land of your birth.

20 Kom tufahna tuku muta yenu kitin pacl na, na efu ku ngan lela kom in wiyu forfor? Nga sifacna, nga tia etu lah nga ac som nu ya. Folokla, ac us mwet lom ingan in wi kom. Lela LEUM GOD Elan kulang ac pwaye nu suwos.”

It was only yesterday you came to us; why then am I to make you go up and down with us? for I have to go where I may; go back then, and take your countrymen with you, and may the Lord's mercy and good faith be with you.

21 A Ittai el topuk, “Leum fulat, nga fulahk nu sum inen LEUM GOD lah yen nukewa kom forfor nu we, nga ac wi kom in pacl nukewa, finne nu ke misa.”

And Ittai the Gittite in answer said, By the living Lord, and by the life of my lord the king, in whatever place my lord the king may be, for life or death, there will your servant be.

22 David el topuk, “Wona. Fahsr nu meet!” Na Ittai el fahsr nu meet wi mwet lal ac sou lalos nukewa.

And David said to Ittai, Go forward, then. And Ittai the Gittite went on, with all his men and all the little ones he had with him.

23 Mwet uh tung ma lulap ke David ac mwet lal ah som. Tokosra el tupalla Infacl srisrik Kidron, ac mwet lal elos fahsr tokol. Na elos tukeni oatula in som nu yen mwesis.

And there was great weeping in all the country when all the people went through; and the king himself was waiting in the Kidron valley and all the people went by him in the direction of the olive-tree on the edge of the waste land.

24 Zadok, mwet tol, el muta in acn sac, ac mwet Levi su us Tuptup in Wuleang elos muta pac yorol. Elos filiya tuptup sac ac tia sifil srukak nwe ke na mwet nukewa illa liki siti ah. Abiathar, mwet tol, el oasr pac we.

Then Zadok came, and Abiathar, and with them the ark of God's agreement: and they put down the ark of God, till all the people from the town had gone by.

25 Na tokosra el fahk nu sel Zadok, “Folokunla Tuptup in Wuleang uh nu in siti uh. LEUM GOD El fin insewowo sik, El ac fah lela nga in foloko ac liye, oayapa liye acn oan we uh.

And the king said to Zadok, Take the ark of God back into the town: if I have grace in the eyes of the Lord, he will let me come back and see it and his House again:

26 A El fin tia insewowo sik, lela Elan oru nu sik fal nu ke lungse lal.”

But if he says, I have no delight in you: then, here I am; let him do to me what seems good to him.

27 Na el sifilpa fahk nu sel Zadok, “Usalla Ahimaaz wen nutum, ac Jonathan wen natul Abiathar, ac folokla nu in siti ah in misla.

The king said further to Zadok the priest, See, you and Abiathar are to go back to the town in peace, with your two sons, Ahimaaz, your son, and Jonathan, the son of Abiathar.

28 A nga ac muta soanekom ke acn in tupalla infacl uh ke yen mwesis, nwe ke na nga eis kas sum me.”

See, I will be waiting at the way across the river, in the waste land, till I get news from you.

29 Ouinge Zadok ac Abiathar us Tuptup in Wuleang folokla nu in Jerusalem ac mutana we.

So Zadok and Abiathar took the ark of God back to Jerusalem, and did not go away from there.

30 David el fahsryak nu Fineol Olive, ac el tung. El tia fahluk, ac el sunya sifal in akkalemye asor lal. Mwet nukewa su fahsr tokol elos afinya pac sifalos ac tung pac.

And David went up the slopes of the Mount of Olives weeping all the way, with his head covered and no shoes on his feet: and all the people who were with him, covering their heads, went up weeping.

31 Ke fwackyang nu sel David lah Ahithophel el welulla Absalom ac elos su lainul, el pre ac fahk, “O LEUM GOD, nunak munas oru tuh kas in kasru lal Ahithophel in ekla kas lusrongten!”

And word came to David, saying, Ahithophel is among those who are joined to Absalom. And David said, O Lord, let the wisdom of Ahithophel be made foolish.

32 Ke David el sun fin tohktok uh, acn se ma acn in alu se oan we, Hushai mwet Arch, kawuk se lal David su el lulalfongi yohk, el tuku sonol, ac nuknuk lal ah mihsalik, ac fohkfok oan fin sifal.

Now when David had come to the top of the slope, where they gave worship to God, Hushai the Archite came to him in great grief with dust on his head:

33 Ac David el fahk nu sel, “Kom ac fah tia mwe kasru nu sik kom fin wiyu inge.

David said to him, If you go on with me, you will be a trouble to me:

34 Tusruktu kom ku in kasreyu kom fin folokla nu in siti ah, ac fahk nu sel Absalom lah inge kom ac kulansupal ke insiom na pwaye, oana ke kom tuh kulansupu papa tumal. Ac oru ma nukewa kom ku in oru in lain kas in kasru lal Ahithophel nu sel.

But if you go back to the town and say to Absalom, I will be your servant, O king; as in the past I have been your father's servant, so now I will be yours: then you will be able to keep Ahithophel's designs against me from being put into effect.

35 Mwet tol Zadok ac Abiathar eltal ac muta we. Fahkang nu seltal ma nukewa kom lohng in lohm sin tokosra ah.

And have you not there Zadok and Abiathar the priests? so whatever comes to your ears from the king's house, give word of it to Zadok and Abiathar the priests.

36 Wen natultal, Ahimaaz ac Jonathan, eltal oasr yoroltal, ac kom ku in supwaltalma nu yuruk in fahk nu sik ma nukewa ma kom lohng.”

See, they have with them their two sons, Ahimaaz, Zadok's son, and Jonathan, the son of Abiathar; by them you may send word to me of everything which comes to your ears.

37 Ouinge Hushai, kawuk lal David, el folok nu in siti ah, in pacl se na ma Absalom el utyak nu we.

So Hushai, David's friend, went into the town, and Absalom came to Jerusalem.
