1 Samuel 23
1 Then they tolde Dauid, saying, Beholde, the Philistims fight against Keilah, and spoyle the barnes.
David el lohngak lah mwet Philistia elos mweun lain acn Keilah ac pisre wheat ke kosrani sasu lalos.
2 Therfore Dauid asked counsel of the Lord, saying, Shal I goe and smite these Philistims? And the Lord answered Dauid, Go and smite the Philistims, and saue Keilah.
Ke ma inge el siyuk sin LEUM GOD, “Ya fal nga in som ac mweun lain mwet Philistia?” Ac LEUM GOD El fahk, “Aok, mweun lainulos ac molela mwet Keilah.”
3 And Dauids men said vnto him, See, we be afrayde here in Iudah, howe much more if we come to Keilah against the hoste of ye Philistims?
A mwet lal David elos fahk nu sel, “Liye, kut arulana sangeng yenu ke kut muta fin acn Judah, a kut fin som nu Keilah ac lain mwet Philistia, kut ac sangeng yohk liki na!”
4 Then Dauid asked counsell of the Lord againe. And the Lord answered him, and sayd, Arise, go downe to Keilah: for I wil deliuer the Philistims into thine hand.
Na David el sifilpa siyuk kasru sin LEUM GOD, ac LEUM GOD El fahk nu sel, “Fahla nu Keilah ac mweun, tuh nga ac fah asot kutangla nu sum fin mwet Philistia.”
5 So Dauid and his men went to Keilah, and fought with the Philistims, and brought away their cattel, and smote them with a great slaughter: thus Dauid saued the inhabitants of Keilah.
Na David ac mwet lal elos som nu Keilah ac mweun lain mwet Philistia. Elos uniya mwet pus selos, ac elos eisla kosro natulos. Ouinge David el molela siti sac.
6 (And when Abiathar the sonne of Ahimelech fled to Dauid to Keilah, he brought an Ephod with him)
Ke Abiathar, wen natul Ahimelech, el tuh kaingla ac tuku nu yorol David in acn Keilah, el us nuknuk ephod lun mwet tol welul.
7 And it was tolde Saul that Dauid was come to Keilah, and Saul sayd, God hath deliuered him into mine hand: for he is shut in, seeing he is come into a citie that hath gates and barres.
Ke Saul el lohng lah David el som nu Keilah, el fahk, “God El eisalma nu inpouk. David el sifacna oru in sruhu el ke el utyak nu in sie siti kuhlusyuki ke pot fulat, ac mutunpot we kauli ku.”
8 Then Saul called all the people together to warre, for to go downe to Keilah, and to besiege Dauid and his men.
Ke ma inge, Saul el pangon mwet mweun lal in som mweun lain acn Keilah ac in sruokilya David ac mwet lal.
9 And Dauid hauing knowledge that Saul imagined mischiefe against him, saide to Abiathar the Priest, Bring the Ephod.
Ke David el lohng lah Saul el akoo in tuku lainul, el fahk nu sin mwet tol Abiathar, “Use nuknuk ephod uh nu inge.”
10 Then sayde Dauid, O Lord God of Israel, thy seruat hath heard, that Saul is about to come to Keilah to destroy the citie for my sake.
Na David el fahk, “LEUM GOD lun Israel, nga lohng mu Saul el akoo elan tuku ac kunausla acn Keilah ke sripuk, mwet kulansap lom.
11 Wil the lordes of Keilah deliuer me vp into his hand? and will Saul come downe, as thy seruant hath heard? O Lord God of Israel, I beseech thee, tell thy seruant. And the Lord sayde, He will come downe.
Ya mwet Keilah elos ac eisyuyang nu inpaol Saul? Ya pwaye Saul el ac tuku, oana ke nga lohng uh? LEUM GOD lun Israel, nga kwafe sum tuh kom in topukyu!” Ac LEUM GOD El fahk, “Saul el ac fah tuku.”
12 Then said Dauid, Will the lords of Keilah deliuer me vp, and the men that are with me, into the hand of Saul? And the Lord sayde, They will deliuer thee vp.
Ac David el sifil siyuk, “Ya mwet Keilah elos ac eisyuyang ac mwet luk inge nu inpaol Saul?” LEUM GOD El topuk, “Aok.”
13 Then Dauid and his men, which were about sixe hundreth, arose, and departed out of Keilah, and went whither they coulde. And it was tolde Saul, that Dauid was fled from Keilah, and he left off his iourney.
Ke ma inge, David ac mwet onfoko lal inge tuyak som liki acn Keilah ac takusrkusr infulan acn uh. Ke Saul el lohngak lah David el kaingla liki acn Keilah, na el fuhleak akoo se lal ah.
14 And Dauid abode in the wildernesse in holdes, and remayned in a mountaine in the wildernes of Ziph. And Saul sought him euery day, but God deliuered him not into his hand.
David el muta wikwik fineol uh, in acn mwesis apkuran nu Ziph. Pacl nukewa Saul el srike elan konalak David, tuh LEUM GOD El tia eisalang David nu inpaol.
15 And Dauid sawe that Saul was come out for to seeke his life: and Dauid was in the wildernes of Ziph in the wood.
Ac David el liye tuh Saul el sukna elan unilya. David el muta Horesh, in acn mwesis apkuran nu Ziph.
16 And Ionathan Sauls sonne arose and went to Dauid into the wood, and comforted him in God,
Ac Jonathan el som nu yorol ac sang kas in akkeyal ac akesmakinyal lah God El karinganul na.
17 And said vnto him, Feare not: for the hand of Saul my father shall not finde thee, and thou shalt be King ouer Israel, and I shalbe next vnto thee: and also Saul my father knoweth it.
El fahk nu sel David, “Nikmet sangeng. Saul, papa tumuk, el tia ku in oru kutu ma in akkolukye kom. El etu na pwaye lah kom pa ac tokosra fin mwet Israel, ac nga pa ac akluo uh.”
18 So they twaine made a couenant before ye Lord: and Dauid did remaine in the wood: but Ionathan went to his house.
Na eltal tukeni orala sie wulela mutal inmasrloltal tuh eltal in kawuk na pwaye. Na David el mutana Horesh, ac Jonathan el som nu in acn sel.
19 Then came vp the Ziphims to Saul to Gibeah, saying, Doeth not Dauid hide himselfe by vs in holdes, in the wood in the hill of Hachilah, which is on the right side of Ieshimon?
Kutu mwet Ziph elos som nu yorol Saul in acn Gibeah ac fahk nu sel, “David el wikwik oasr in acn sesr Horesh ke Fineol Hachilah, su oan eir in acn mwesis Judea.
20 Nowe therefore, O King, come downe according to all that thine heart can desire, and our part shall be to deliuer him into the Kinges handes.
O Tokosra, kut etu lupan kena lom tuh kom in sruokilya David. Ke ma inge, fahsru nu yen sesr, ac kut fah kasrekom in sruokilya.”
21 Then Saul said, Be ye blessed of the Lord: for ye haue had compassion on mee.
Saul el fahk, “LEUM GOD Elan akinsewowoye kowos ke kulang lowos nu sik uh!
22 Goe, I pray you, and prepare ye yet better: know and see his place where he haunteth, and who hath seene him there: for it is sayd to me, He is subtile, and craftie.
Kowos sifilpa folokot suk akwoye, ac konauk na pwaye acn el muta we, oayapa su liyal we. Nga lohng mu el arulana ngusrik in nunak.
23 See therefore and know all the secret places where he hideth himselfe, and come ye againe to me with the certaintie, and I will goe with you: and if he be in the lande, I will searche him out throughout all the thousands of Iudah.
Sokak na pwaye acn el muta wikwik we an, ac sulaklak sapma fahk nu sik. Na nga fah wi kowos fahsrot, ac el fin srakna oasr ingan, nga ac fah sokol nwe ke nga konalak, nga finne enenu in sokol in facl Judah nufon.”
24 Then they arose and went to Ziph before Saul, but Dauid and his men were in the wildernesse of Maon, in the playne on the right hande of Ieshimon.
Na mwet inge folok nu Ziph meet lukel Saul. David ac mwet lal elos muta in acn mwesis in Maon, ke sie infahlfal wangin ma fac su oan nu eir in yen mwesis lun Judea.
25 Saul also and his men went to seeke him, and they told Dauid: wherefore he came downe vnto a rocke, and abode in the wildernesse of Maon. And when Saul heard that, he folowed after Dauid in the wildernes of Maon.
Saul ac mwet lal elos som in sokol David. Ke David el lohngak, el som nu ke eol eoteot in acn mwesis Maon ac muta we. Ke Saul el lohng ma inge, el som tokol David.
26 And Saul and his men went on the one side of the mountaine, and Dauid and his men on the other side of the mountaine: and Dauid made haste to get from the presence of Saul: for Saul and his men compassed Dauid and his men round about, to take them.
Na Saul ac mwet lal elos muta lac eol uh, ac David ac mwet lal elos muta lac eol uh. David ac mwet lal elos sulaklak kaingkunul Saul ac mwet lal, mweyen elos apkuranyang in sruokolosi.
27 But there came a messenger to Saul, saying, Haste thee, and come: for the Philistims haue inuaded the land.
In kitin pacl ah na sie mwet utuk kas el tuku ac fahk nu sel Saul, “Sulaklak foloko! Mwet Philistia elos utyak tari in sruokya facl sesr!”
28 Wherefore Saul returned from pursuing Dauid, and went against the Philistims. Therefore they called that place, Sela-hammahlekoth.
Ke ma inge, Saul el tila ukwal David, a el folokla mweun lain mwet Philistia. Pa inge sripa se pangpang fineol soko ah Fineol In Sralik.
29 And Dauid went thence, and dwelt in holdes at En-gedi.
David el som liki acn we, ac fahsr nu acn se pangpang “Engedi,” ac el muta wikwik we.
