< 2 Samuel 2 >

1 After this, Dauid asked counsel of the Lord, saying, Shall I go vp into any of the cities of Iudah? And the Lord sayd vnto him, Goe vp. And Dauid sayd Whither shall I goe? Hee then answered, Vnto Hebron.
Tukun ma inge, David el lolngok nu sin LEUM GOD, “Ku nga ac som sruokya sie siti in acn Judah?” LEUM GOD El topuk, “Aok.” David el siyuk, “Acn ya se?” LEUM GOD El fahk, “Hebron.”
2 So Dauid went vp thither, and his two wiues also, Ahinoam the Izreelite, and Abigail Nabals wife the Carmelite.
Ouinge David el som nu Hebron, ac el us mutan luo kial: Ahinoam sie mutan Jezreel, ac Abigail sie mutan Carmel su katinmas kial Nabal.
3 And Dauid brought vp the men that were with him, euery man with his houshold, and they dwelt in the cities of Hebron.
El oayapa us mwet lal wi sou lalos, ac elos muta ke siti srisrik raunela acn Hebron.
4 Then the men of Iudah came, and there they anoynted Dauid King ouer the house of Iudah. And they tolde Dauid, saying, that the men of Iabesh Gilead buried Saul.
Na mwet Judah elos tuku nu Hebron ac mosrwella David elan tokosra lun Judah. Ke David el lohng lah mwet Jabesh in Gilead elos piknilya Saul,
5 And Dauid sent messengers vnto the men of Iabesh Gilead, and said vnto them, Blessed are ye of the Lord, that yee haue shewed such kindenes vnto your lord Saul, that you haue buried him.
el supwala kutu mwet nu we wi kas inge: “Lela LEUM GOD Elan akinsewowoye kowos ke kowos akkalemye nunak pwaye lowos nu sin tokosra lowos ac piknilya.
6 Therefore now the Lord shewe mercie and trueth vnto you: and I will recompence you this benefite, because ye haue done this thing.
Ac inge lela LEUM GOD Elan kulang ac oaru in liyekowosyang. Nga pac, nga fah oru wo nu suwos ke sripen ma kowos oru inge.
7 Therefore nowe let your handes be strong, and be you valiant: albeit your master Saul bee dead, yet neuerthelesse the house of Iudah hath anoynted me King ouer them.
Kowos in ku ac pulaik! Saul, tokosra lowos, el misa, ac mwet Judah elos mosrweyula in tokosra lalos.”
8 But Abner the sonne of Ner that was captaine of Sauls hoste, tooke Ish-bosheth the sonne of Saul, and brought him to Mahanaim,
Abner wen natul Ner, su captain lun un mwet mweun lal Saul, el eisal Ishbosheth wen natul Saul, ac kaingla tupalla Infacl Jordan nu Mahanaim.
9 And made him King ouer Gilead, and ouer the Ashurites, and ouer Izreel, and ouer Ephraim, and ouer Beniamin, and ouer al Israel.
In acn se inge Abner el orala Ishbosheth elan tokosra lun acn Gilead, Asher, Jezreel, Ephraim, ac Benjamin — aok lun Israel nufon.
10 Ish-bosheth Sauls sonne was fourtie yeere olde when he began to reigne ouer Israel, and reigned two yeere: but the house of Iudah followed Dauid.
Ishbosheth el yac angngaul ke pacl se el tokosrala lun Israel, ac el leum faclos ke yac luo. A sruf lun Judah srakna orekma nu sel David,
11 (And the time which Dauid reigned in Hebron ouer the house of Iudah, was seuen yeere and sixe moneths)
ac el leum in acn Hebron fin mwet Judah ke yac itkosr tafu.
12 And Abner the sonne of Ner, and the seruantes of Ish-bosheth the sonne of Saul went out of Mahanaim to Gibeon.
Abner ac mwet pwapa lal Ishbosheth elos som liki Mahanaim nu in siti Gibeon.
13 And Ioab the sonne of Zeruiah, and the seruants of Dauid went out and met one another by the poole of Gibeon: and they sate downe, the one on the one side of the poole, and the other on the otherside of the poole.
Joab, su nina kial ah pa Zeruiah, ac mwet pwapa saya lal David elos osun nu selos ke lulu in kof in acn Gibeon. Elos nukewa muta in acn sac — sie u ah muta ke la lulu sac, ac u se ngia muta ke layen ngia.
14 Then Abner saide to Ioab, Let the yong men nowe arise, and play before vs. And Ioab said, Let them arise.
Na Abner el fahk nu sel Joab, “Kut srukak kutu mwet fusr ke u luo inge elos in akutun anwuk.” Joab el fahk, “Wona.”
15 Then there arose and went ouer twelue of Beniamin by number, which perteined to Ish-bosheth the sonne of Saul, and twelue of the seruants of Dauid.
Ouinge mwet singoul luo sin mwet lal Ishbosheth ac sruf lal Benjamin, elos lain mwet singoul luo sin mwet lal David.
16 And euery one caught his fellowe by the head, and thrust his sword in his fellowes side, so they fell downe together: wherefore ye place was called Helkath-hazzurim, which is in Gibeon.
Kais sie mwet sruokya mwet se lainul ke sifal, ac kaskeang cutlass natul ah nu in pupal. Ouinge mwet longoul akosr ah nufon putatla misa. Na pa pangpang acn se inge in acn Gibeon “Ima in Cutlass.”
17 And the battel was exceeding sore that same day: for Abner and the men of Israel fell before the seruants of Dauid.
Na mweun na upa se srola, ac David ac mwet lal elos kutangulla Abner ac mwet Israel.
18 And there were three sonnes of Zeruiah there, Ioab, and Abishai, and Asahel. And Asahel was as light on foote as a wilde roe.
Wen tolu natul Zeruiah oasr kac: Joab, Abishai, ac Asahel. Asahel, su kasrusr mui oana deer inima soko,
19 And Asahel followed after Abner, and in going he turned neither to the right hand nor to the left from Abner.
el ukwal Abner suwosyang tokol.
20 Then Abner looked behind him, and said, Art thou Asahel? And he answered, Yea.
Abner el tapulla siyuk, “Asahel, ya kom pa ingan?” El topuk, “Aok, nga.”
21 Then Abner said, Turne thee either to the right hande, or to the left, and take one of the yong men, and take thee his weapons: and Asahel would not depart from him.
Na Abner el fahk, “Nimet ukweyu! Ukwe na sie mwet mweun saya an ac eisla ma el us an.” A Asahel el ukwal na.
22 And Abner saide to Asahel, Depart from me: wherefore shoulde I smite thee to the grounde? howe then shoulde I be able to holde vp my face to Ioab thy brother?
Na Abner el sifil fahk nu sel, “Tui! Nimet ukweyu! Kom ku oru ngan unikomi? Nga ac ngetnget fuka nu sel Joab, ma lim?”
23 And when he woulde not depart, Abner with the hinder ende of the speare smote him vnder the fift ryb, that the speare came out behind him: and he fell downe there, and dyed in his place. And as many as came to the place where Asahel fell downe and dyed, stoode still.
Tuh Asahel el tiana tui. Na Abner el fakfuk nu tok ac fakisya insial Asahel, ac osra soko ah sasla fintokol. Asahel el putatla nu infohk uh ac misa. Ac mwet nukewa su tuku nu yen se el oan we ah elos tui in acn sac.
24 Ioab also and Abishai pursued after Abner: and the sunne went downe, when they were come to the hill Ammah, that lieth before Giah, by the way of the wildernesse of Gibeon.
Na Joab ac Abishai eltal mutawauk ukwal Abner, ac ke faht uh tili eltal sun fineol srisrik Ammah, su oan nu kutulap in acn Giah ke inkanek nu yen mwesis lun Gibeon.
25 And the children of Beniamin gathered them selues together after Abner, and were on an heape and stoode on the top of an hill.
Mwet in sruf lal Benjamin sifilpa fahsreni in welul Abner, ac elos tu na akola fin eol soko.
26 Then Abner called to Ioab, and said, Shall the sworde deuoure for euer? knowest thou not, that it will be bitternesse in the latter ende? howe long then shall it be, or thou bid the people returne from following their brethren?
Na Abner el pangla nu yorol Joab ac fahk, “Ku kut ac kollana mweun lasr uh nwe ngac? Mea, kom tia akilen lah saflaiya uh kut ac arulana asrungai? Kut mutunfacl sefanna. Kut ac soano nwe ngac kom in sap mwet lom an in tui tila ukwe kut?”
27 And Ioab sayde, As God liueth, if thou haddest not spoken, surely euen in the morning the people had departed euery one backe from his brother.
Ac Joab el fahk, “Nga fulahk Inen God moul, lah kom funu tia kasla, mwet luk uh lukun ukwe kowos na nwe lututang.”
28 So Ioab blew a trumpet, and all the people stoode still, and pursued after Israel no more, neither fought they any more.
Na Joab el ukya mwe ukuk tuh mwet lal ah in tui ac tila ukwe mwet Israel ah. Ouinge mweun sac tui.
29 And Abner and his men walked all that night through the plaine, and went ouer Iorden, and past through all Bithron till they came to Mahanaim.
Abner ac mwet lal elos fahsr sasla Infahlfal Jordan in fong fon sac. Elos tupalla Infacl Jordan, ac tukun fahsr lalos in lotu se tok ah nufon, elos sun acn Mahanaim.
30 Ioab also returned backe from Abner: and when he had gathered all the people together, there lacked of Dauids seruants nineteene men and Asahel.
Ke Joab el tulokinya mwet lal ah, el konauk tuh na mwet singoul eu wanginla, sayal Asahel.
31 But the seruants of Dauid had smitten of Beniamin, and of Abners men, so that three hundreth and threescore men dyed.
Mwet lal David uniya mwet tolfoko onngoul sin mwet lal Abner ke sruf lal Benjamin.
32 And they tooke vp Asahel, and buried him in the sepulchre of his father, which was in Bethlehem: and Ioab and his men went all night, and when they came to Hebron, the day arose.
Joab ac mwet lal elos us manol Asahel ac pikinya inkulyuk lun sou lal ah in acn Bethlehem. Na elos fahsr in fong sac nufon nwe sun acn Hebron in lotu tok ah.
