Luo Samuel 19
1 Fwackyang nu sel Joab lah Tokosra David el tung ac arulana asor kacl Absalom.
And it was told Joab, Behold, the king weepeth and mourneth for Absalom.
2 Ke ma inge, enganak lun mwet mweun nukewa lal David ke sripen kutangla lalos in len sac, ekla nu ke asor ac supwar, mweyen elos lohng lah tokosra el arulana asor ke wen natul.
And the victory that day was turned into mourning unto all the people: for the people heard say that day, The king grieveth for his son.
3 Elos mahsrikyak nu in siti ah, oana luman mwet mweun su ac mwekin elos fin kaing liki mweun uh.
And the people gat them by stealth that day into the city, as people that are ashamed steal away when they flee in battle.
4 Tokosra el nokomla mutal ac tung ke pusra lulap, “We, wen nutik! Wen nutik, Absalom! Absalom nutik!”
And the king covered his face, and the king cried with a loud voice, O my son Absalom, O Absalom, my son, my son!
5 Joab el som nu lohm sin tokosra ac fahk nu sel, “Misenge kom arulana akmwekinye mwet lom, aok elos su tuh molikomla oayapa molela wen nutum, acn nutum, mutan kiom ac mutan kulansap kiom.
And Joab came into the house to the king, and said, Thou hast shamed this day the faces of all thy servants, which this day have saved thy life, and the lives of thy sons and of thy daughters, and the lives of thy wives, and the lives of thy concubines;
6 Kom lain mwet su lungse kom, ac akkeye mwet su srungekom! Kom arulana akkalemye lah mwet pwapa lom ac mwet mweun lom wangin sripalos nu sum. Nga liye tuh kom lukun arulana engan misenge funu Absalom pa moul a kut nukewa misa.
in that thou lovest them that hate thee, and hatest them that love thee. For thou hast declared this day, that princes and servants are nought unto thee: for this day I perceive, that if Absalom had lived, and all we had died this day, then it had pleased thee well.
7 Inge, fahla ac sang kutu kas in akkeye insien mwet lom an. Nga fulahk Inen LEUM GOD lah kom fin tia oru, na lututang wangin siefanna selos ac fah wi kom. Ma koluk se inge ac tuh alukela ma koluk nukewa ma sikyak nu sum in pacl oemeet me nu misenge.”
Now therefore arise, go forth and speak comfortably unto thy servants: for I swear by the LORD, if thou go not forth, there will not tarry a man with thee this night: and that will be worse unto thee than all the evil that hath befallen thee from thy youth until now.
8 Na tokosra el tukakek ac som muta apkuran nu ke mutunpot in siti ah. Mwet lal ah lohngak lah el oasr we, na elos nukewa som muta yorol. In pacl se ingan, mwet Israel nukewa folokla tari nu yen selos kais sie.
Then the king arose, and sat in the gate. And they told unto all the people, saying, Behold, the king doth sit in the gate: and all the people came before the king. Now Israel had fled every man to his tent.
9 In facl sac nufon elos mutawauk akukuin inmasrlolos sifacna ac fahk, “Tokosra David el molikutla liki mwet lokoalok lasr. El loangekutla liki mwet Philistia, a inge el kaingla lukel Absalom ac som liki facl se inge.
And all the people were at strife throughout all the tribes of Israel, saying, The king delivered us out of the hand of our enemies, and he saved us out of the hand of the Philistines; and now he is fled out of the land from Absalom.
10 Kut tuh mosrwella Absalom elan tokosra lasr, a anwuki el ke mweun. Na efu ku wangin mwet som srike in folokunulma Tokosra David?”
And Absalom, whom we anointed over us, is dead in battle. Now therefore why speak ye not a word of bringing the king back?
11 Pweng ke ma mwet Israel elos fahk inge sonol Tokosra David, na el supwalla Zadok mwet tol, ac Abiathar in siyuk sin mwet kol lun Judah, “Efu ku in kowos pa etok in folokunulla tokosra nu in lohm sel?
And king David sent to Zadok and to Abiathar the priests, saying, Speak unto the elders of Judah, saying, Why are ye the last to bring the king back to his house? seeing the speech of all Israel is come to the king, [to bring him] to his house.
12 Kowos sou luk. Kut srah sefanna ac ikwa sefanna. Efu ku in tuh kowos pa etok in folokinyume an?”
Ye are my brethren, ye are my bone and my flesh: wherefore then are ye the last to bring back the king?
13 David el oayapa sap elos in fahk nu sel Amasa, “Kom sou luk. Nga sulekomla in aolulla Joab kol mwet mweun luk ingela. Lela LEUM GOD Elan sringilyuwi ngan misa, nga fin tia oru oana nga fahk uh!”
And say ye to Amasa, Art thou not my bone and my flesh? God do so to me, and more also, if thou be not captain of the host before me continually in the room of Joab.
14 Mwet Judah nukewa elos arulana insewowo ke kas lal David inge, ac elos sapla nu yorol elan foloko wi mwet pwapa lal nukewa.
And he bowed the heart of all the men of Judah, even as [the heart of] one man; so that they sent unto the king, [saying], Return thou, and all thy servants.
15 Ke tokosra el folok ah, mwet Judah elos tuku sonol ke Infacl Jordan. Elos tuh tuku nu Gilgal in atlol ke el tupalla infacl ah.
So the king returned, and came to Jordan. And Judah came to Gilgal, to go to meet the king, to bring the king over Jordan.
16 In pacl sacna, Shimei mwet Benjamin, su wen natul Gera mwet Bahurim, el sulaklak som nu Infacl Jordan in osun nu sel David.
And Shimei the son of Gera, the Benjamite, which was of Bahurim, hasted and came down with the men of Judah to meet king David.
17 El us sie tausin mwet in sruf lal Benjamin welul. Ac Ziba, mwet kulansap lun sou lal Saul, el oayapa tuku wi wen singoul limekosr natul ac longoul mwet kulansap, ac elos sun Infacl Jordan meet liki tokosra.
And there were a thousand men of Benjamin with him, and Ziba the servant of the house of Saul, and his fifteen sons and his twenty servants with him; and they went through Jordan in the presence of the king.
18 Elos tupalla infacl ah in atlol tokosra ac sou lal ah, ac in oru ma nukewa ma tokosra el ac lungse elos in oru. Ke tokosra el akola elan tupalla infacl ah, Shimei el putati nu infohk uh ye mutal,
And there went over a ferry boat to bring over the king’s household, and to do what he thought good. And Shimei the son of Gera fell down before the king, when he was come over Jordan.
19 ac fahk, “Leum luk, nunak munas mulkunla ma koluk nga orala ke len se kom tuh som liki Jerusalem. Nimet nununkeyu, ku sifil nunku kac.
And he said unto the king, Let not my lord impute iniquity unto me, neither do thou remember that which thy servant did perversely the day that my lord the king went out of Jerusalem, that the king should take it to his heart.
20 Nga sifacna etu lah nga orala ma koluk se, pa sis nga pa mwet se emeet sin sruf in acn epang in tuku osun nu sum misenge.”
For thy servant doth know that I have sinned: therefore, behold, I am come this day the first of all the house of Joseph to go down to meet my lord the king.
21 Abishai, wen natul Zeruiah, el kasla fahk mu, “Fal in anwuki Shimei, mweyen el tuh selngawi el su LEUM GOD El sulela tuh elan tokosra.”
But Abishai the son of Zeruiah answered and said, Shall not Shimei be put to death for this, because he cursed the LORD’S anointed?
22 Tusruktu David el fahk nu sel Abishai ac Joab, tamulel lal ah, “Su siyuk nunak lomtal an? Ya komtal ac orek lokoalok nu sik? Inge nga pa tokosra lun Israel, na wangin mwet Israel ac fah anwuki misenge.”
And David said, What have I to do with you, ye sons of Zeruiah, that ye should this day be adversaries unto me? shall there any man be put to death this day in Israel? for do not I know that I am this day king over Israel?
23 Na el fahk nu sel Shimei, “Nga wuleot nu sum lah kom ac fah tia anwuki.”
And the king said unto Shimei, Thou shalt not die. And the king sware unto him.
24 Na Mephibosheth, wen nutin natul Saul, el tufokla in osun nu sin tokosra. El tuh tiana olla nial, ku nawela alut lal, ku olla nuknuk lal ah oe ke pacl se tokosra el som liki acn Jerusalem nwe ke el kutangla foloko.
And Mephibosheth the son of Saul came down to meet the king; and he had neither dressed his feet, nor trimmed his beard, nor washed his clothes, from the day the king departed until the day he came home in peace.
25 Ke Mephibosheth el tuku liki acn Jerusalem in osun nu sin tokosra, na tokosra el fahk nu sel, “Mephibosheth, kom tuh tia wiyu som. Efu?”
And it came to pass, when he was come to Jerusalem to meet the king, that the king said unto him, Wherefore wentest not thou with me, Mephibosheth?
26 El topuk, “Leum luk, kom kalem kac lah nga mwet ul se. Nga tuh fahkang nu sin mwet kulansap luk elan akoela donkey nutik ah ngan kasrusr fac wikomla, tuh el tiana orala.
And he answered, My lord, O king, my servant deceived me: for thy servant said, I will saddle me an ass, that I may ride thereon, and go with the king; because thy servant is lame.
27 El kaskas kikiap keik nu sum, leum fulat luk. Tusruktu kom oana sie lipufan lun God. Ke ma inge, oru ma kom nunku mu fal kom in oru.
And he hath slandered thy servant unto my lord the king; but my lord the king is as an angel of God: do therefore what is good in thine eyes.
28 Lukun fal tuh kom in uniya nufon mwet in sou lun papa tumuk ah, tuh pa kom tuh lela nu sik in wi mongo ke tepu lom uh. Wangin suwohs luk in siyuk kutepacna ma sum, leum fulat luk.”
For all my father’s house were but dead men before my lord the king: yet didst thou set thy servant among them that did eat at thine own table. What right therefore have I yet that I should cry any more unto the king?
29 Tokosra el topuk, “Kom tia enenu in sifilpa fahk kutena ma, mweyen nga wotela tari lah kom, ac Ziba, pa ac tukeni ipeis ke acn lal Saul uh.”
And the king said unto him, Why speakest thou any more of thy matters? I say, Thou and Ziba divide the land.
30 Ac Mephibosheth el topuk, “Lela Ziba elan eis lal nufon. Nga tia enenu kutena ma sayen lah kom foloko nu acn sum uh ke wo ouiya.”
And Mephibosheth said unto the king, Yea, let him take all, forasmuch as my lord the king is come in peace unto his own house:
31 Barzillai mwet Gilead, el oayapa tufoki Rogelim me in tuh atlol tokosra ke el tupalla Infacl Jordan.
And Barzillai the Gileadite came down from Rogelim; and he went over Jordan with the king, to conduct him over Jordan.
32 Barzillai el arulana matu. El yac oalngoul. El arulana kasrup, ac el tuh sang mwe mongo nun tokosra ke pacl el muta Mahanaim.
Now Barzillai was a very aged man, even fourscore years old: and he had provided the king with sustenance while he lay at Mahanaim; for he was a very great man.
33 Tokosra el fahk nu sel, “Fahsru wiyu som nu Jerusalem, ac nga ac fah karingin kom.”
And the king said unto Barzillai, Come thou over with me, and I will sustain thee with me in Jerusalem.
34 Tuh Barzillai el fahk, “Nga ac tia moul paht. Mwe mea ngan wi tokosra som nu Jerusalem?
And Barzillai said unto the king, How many are the days of the years of my life, that I should go up with the king unto Jerusalem?
35 Nga sun yac oalngoul tari, ac wanginna ma nga sifil engan kac pacl inge. Nga tia ku in ema ma nga kang ac nim, ac nga tia ku in lohng pusren mwet on. Nga ac tuh akkemkatuye kom, leum luk.
I am this day fourscore years old: can I discern between good and bad? can thy servant taste what I eat or what I drink? can I hear any more the voice of singing men and singing women? wherefore then should thy servant be yet a burden unto my lord the king?
36 Nga kupansuwol nu ke kulang lulap lom uh. Tari, nga ac wi kom na alukela infacl ah kutu srisrik,
Thy servant would but just go over Jordan with the king: and why should the king recompense it me with such a reward?
37 na nga siyuk nga in folokla nu lohm sik ah, ac misa apkuran nu ke kulyuk lun papa tumuk ac nina kiuk. Wen se nutik pa inge, Chimham. Eisal in wi kom tuh elan kulansupwekom. Kom fah oru nu sel oana ma kom lungsum, leum fulat luk.”
Let thy servant, I pray thee, turn back again, that I may die in mine own city, by the grave of my father and my mother. But behold, thy servant Chimham; let him go over with my lord the king; and do to him what shall seem good unto thee.
38 Tokosra el topuk, “Nga ac usal elan wiyu, ac oru nu sel oana ma kom lungse. Oayapa nga ac oru nu sum kutena ma kom siyuk.”
And the king answered, Chimham shall go over with me, and I will do to him that which shall seem good unto thee: and whatsoever thou shalt require of me, that will I do for thee.
39 Na David ac mwet lal nukewa tupalla Infacl Jordan. El ngok mutal Barzillai ac sang kas in akinsewowoyal, na Barzillai el folokla nu yen sel.
And all the people went over Jordan, and the king went over: and the king kissed Barzillai, and blessed him; and he returned unto his own place.
40 Ke tokosra el tupalla Infacl Jordan wi mwet Judah nukewa ac tafu sin mwet Israel su atlol, el fahsr nu Gilgal, ac Chimham el welul.
So the king went over to Gilgal, and Chimham went over with him: and all the people of Judah brought the king over, and also half the people of Israel.
41 Na mwet Israel nukewa som nu yorol tokosra ac fahk nu sel, “Leum lasr, efu ku mwet Judah wiasr elos tuh nunku mu oasr suwohs lalos in eiskomla ac atol kom ac sou lom ac mwet lom ke kowos tupalla Infacl Jordan?”
And, behold, all the men of Israel came to the king; and said unto the king, Why have our brethren the men of Judah stolen thee away, and brought the king, and his household, over Jordan, and all David’s men with him?
42 Na mwet Judah elos topuk ac fahk, “Kut oru mweyen tokosra el sie sesr. Na efu ku ma se inge in aktoasrye kowos? El soenna moli mwe mongo nasr, ku ase kutena ma nu sesr.”
And all the men of Judah answered the men of Israel, Because the king is near of kin to us: wherefore then be ye angry for this matter? have we eaten at all of the king’s cost? or hath he given us any gift?
43 Mwet Israel elos fahk, “Oasr suwohs lasr pacl singoul yohk liki suwohs lowos kacl Tokosra David, el finne sie suwos. Efu kowos ku pilesrekut? Nimet kowos mulkunla lah kut pa sramsramkin meet in folokinyukme tokosra uh!” Tusruktu pusren mwet Judah arulana upa liki pusren mwet Israel ke akukuin se inge.
And the men of Israel answered the men of Judah, and said, We have ten parts in the king; and we have also more [right] in David than ye: why then did ye despise us, that our advice should not be first had in bringing back our king? And the words of the men of Judah were fiercer than the words of the men of Israel.
