1 Samuel 24
1 And when Saul was returned from following the Philistines, they told him, saying: Behold, David is in the desert of Engaddi.
Ke Saul el folok liki mweun lal nu sin mwet Philistia, fwackyang nu sel lah David el muta yen mwesis se apkuran nu Engedi.
2 Saul therefore took three thousand chosen men out of all Israel, and went out to seek after David, and his men, even upon the most craggy rocks, which are accessible only to wild goats.
Saul el eis tolu tausin mwet mweun na ku sin mwet Israel, ac som sokol David ac mwet lal kutulap in acn se pangpang Eot in Nani Lemnak.
3 And he came to the sheepcotes, which were in his way. And there was a cave, into which Saul went, to ease nature: now David and his men lay hid in the inner part of the cave.
Saul el tuku nu ke luf se su apkuran nu ke sie kalkal in sheep, na el utyak nu loac in akola we. Falyang na lah luf se inge pa David ac mwet lal elos wikwik we e ke kapin luf uh.
4 And the servants of David said to him: Behold the day, of which the Lord said to thee: I will deliver thy enemy unto thee, that thou mayest do to him as it shall seem good in thy eyes. Then David arose, and secretly cut off the hem of Saul’s robe.
Na mwet lal David elos fahk nu sel, “Pacl wo lom pa inge! LEUM GOD El tuh fahk nu sum lah El ac fah asot mwet lokoalok lom nu inpoum, ac kom fah ku in oru kutena ma kom lungse oru nu sel.” Na David el orakla ac lusala sie ipin nuknuk lal Saul, a Saul el tiana etu.
5 After which David’s heart struck him, because he had cut off the hem of Saul’s robe.
Na toko, David el mutawauk in auli insial,
6 And he said to his men: The Lord be merciful unto me, that I may do no such thing to my master the Lord’s anointed, as to lay my hand upon him, because he is the Lord’s anointed.
ac el fahk nu sin mwet lal, “LEUM GOD Elan ikolyuwi tuh nga in tia oru kutena ma koluk lain leum luk, su LEUM GOD El sulela tuh in tokosra. Nga enenu na nga in tiana akkolukyal, mweyen el tokosra se su sulosolla sin LEUM GOD.”
7 And David stopped his men with his words, and suffered them not to rise against Saul. But Saul rising up out of the cave, went on his way.
Ke ma inge, David el arulana akkalemye nu sin mwet lal tuh elos in tia oru kutena ma nu sel Saul. Na Saul el tuyak ac illa liki luf sac, ac mutawauk in fahsr inkanek lal.
8 And David also rose up after him: and going out of the cave cried after Saul, saying: My lord the king. And Saul looked behind him: and David bowing himself down to the ground, worshipped,
Na David el illa tokol ac pangnol, “Tokosra, leum luk!” Na Saul el tapulla, ac David el srimi nwe ten in akfulatyal.
9 And said to Saul: Why dost thou hear the words of men that say David seeketh thy hurt?
David el fahk, “Efu ku kom lohng kas lun mwet uh ke elos fahk mu nga suk kom in akkolukye moul lom?
10 Behold this day thy eyes have seen, that the Lord hath delivered thee into my hand, in the cave, and I had a thought to kill thee, but my eye hath spared thee. For I said: I will not put out my hand against my lord, because he is the Lord’s anointed.
Kom ku in sifacna liye lah misenge LEUM GOD El eiskomme nu inpouk ke kom muta in luf se inge. Kutu sin mwet luk inge elos tuh fahk nu sik mu ngan unikomi, tuh nga pakomutom ac fahk lah nga ac fah tia oru kutena ma nu sum, mweyen kom pa sulosolla sin LEUM GOD tuh kom in tokosra.
11 Moreover see and know, O my father, the hem of thy robe in my hand, that when I cut, off the hem of thy robe, I would not put out my hand against thee. Reflect, and see, that there is no evil in my hand, nor iniquity, neither have I sinned against thee: but thou liest in wait for my life, to take it away.
Ngetma, Papa. Liye ipin nuknuk se inpouk inge! Ma ke nuknuk kom nukum an. Nga ku na in unikomi, tuh nga tiana. Nga lusala mukena ipin nuknuk se inge in akpwayeye nu sum lah wangin nunak koluk luk in lain kom, ku in akkolukye moul lom. Kom sukyu in uniyuwi, finne wangin ma koluk nga oru nu sum.
12 The Lord judge between me and thee, and the Lord revenge me of thee: but my hand shall not be upon thee.
LEUM GOD Elan nununku inmasrloktal, lah su kac tafongla uh! Lela tuh Elan oru kai lal nu sum ke ma kom oru in lainyu, tuh nga ac fah tia oru kutena ma in akkolukye moul lom.
13 As also it is said in the old proverb: From the wicked shall wickedness come forth: therefore my hand shall not be upon thee. After whom dost thou come out, O king of Israel?
Kom esam soakas se ma fahk mu, ‘Ma koluk uh sikyak sin mwet koluk mukena.’ Ke ma inge, nga ac fah tiana oru ma koluk lain kom.
14 After whom dost thou pursue? After a dead dog, after a flea.
Liyewin, mea se tokosra lun Israel el suk in uniya uh? Liye lah mea se el ukwe uh! Kosro ngalngul misa soko! Kitin kuut!
15 Be the Lord judge, and judge between me and thee, and see, and judge my cause, and deliver me out of thy hand.
LEUM GOD El ac fah oru nununku lal, ac El fah konauk lah su sesr sutuela uh. Lela God Elan suiya ma inge ac karinginyu, ac moliyula liki inpoum.”
16 And when David had made an end of speaking these words to Saul, Saul said: Is this thy voice, my son David? And Saul lifted up his voice, and wept.
Ke tari sramsram lal David, na Saul el fahk, “David, wen nutik, ku pwayena lah kom pa ingan?” Ac Saul el mutawauk tung.
17 And he said to David: Thou art more just than I: for thou hast done good to me, and I have rewarded thee with evil.
Na el fahk nu sel David, “Pwayena sum, ac nga pa sutuela uh. Kom arulana wo nu sik, a nga oru koluk nu sum!
18 And thou hast shewn this day what good things thou hast done to me: how the Lord delivered me into thy hand, and thou hast not killed me.
Misenge kom akkalemye wo lom nu sik, ke kom tia uniyuwi, LEUM GOD El finne eisyuwot nu inpoum.
19 For who when he hath found his enemy, will let him go well away? But the Lord reward thee for this good turn, for what thou hast done to me this day.
Ya oasr pacl sikyak ouinge, tuh mwet se in sruokya mwet lokoalok lal na fuhlella elan som in misla ac wangin ma koluk el oru nu sel? LEUM GOD Elan akinsewowoye kom ke ma kom oru nu sik misenge!
20 And now as I know that thou shalt surely be king, and have the kingdom of Israel in thy hand:
Inge nga etu suwohs lah kom ac fah tokosra fin Israel, ac tokosrai ac fah oanna ye koko lom.
21 Swear to me by the Lord, that thou wilt not destroy my seed after me, nor take away my name from the house of my father.
Tusruktu wulema nu sik ke Inen LEUM GOD tuh kom fah tia kunausla fita luk, tuh inek ac inen sou luk fah tia mulkinyukla.”
22 And David swore to Saul. So Saul went home: and David and his men went up into safer places.
David el wulela oana siyuk lal Saul. Na Saul el folok nu acn sel, ac David ac mwet lal som nu nien wikwik lalos.
