2 Samuel 10
1 And it came to pass after this, that the king of the children of Ammon died, and Hanun his son reigned in his stead.
Kutu pacl tok, Tokosra Nahash lun Ammon el misa, ac Hanun wen natul, el tokosrala.
2 Then said David, I will shew kindness unto Hanun the son of Nahash, as his father shewed kindness unto me. And David sent to comfort him by the hand of his servants for his father. And David’s servants came into the land of the children of Ammon.
Tokosra David el fahk, “Nga enenu in akkalemye nunak in kawuk pwaye luk nu sel Hanun, oana ke Nahash papa tumal, el tuh oru nu sik.” Ouinge David el supwala mwet utuk kas in fahkak nunak in pakomuta lal ke misa papa tumal ah. Ke elos sun acn Ammon,
3 And the princes of the children of Ammon said unto Hanun their lord, Thinkest thou that David doth honour thy father, that he hath sent comforters unto thee? hath not David [rather] sent his servants unto thee, to search the city, and to spy it out, and to overthrow it?
mwet kol lun mwet Ammon elos fahk nu sin tokosra, “Ku kom nunku mu David el akfulatye papa tomom, pa sis el supwama mwet inge in fahkak kas in pakomuta lal nu sum? Sutuu na sutuu! El supwaltalma in tuh tuni siti uh, elan mau ku in eisla sesr!”
4 Wherefore Hanun took David’s servants, and shaved off the one half of their beards, and cut off their garments in the middle, [even] to their buttocks, and sent them away.
Na Hanun el sruokya mwet utuk kas lal David, ac resaela alut lalos, ac wotela nuknuk lalos ah ke finyepalos, ac supwalosla.
5 When they told [it] unto David, he sent to meet them, because the men were greatly ashamed: and the king said, Tarry at Jericho until your beards be grown, and [then] return.
Elos arulana mwekin in folokla nu yen selos. Ke David el lohng ke ma sikyak ah, el sapla nu yorolos tuh elos in mutana Jericho ac tia foloko nwe ke alut lalos ah kapak.
6 And when the children of Ammon saw that they stank before David, the children of Ammon sent and hired the Syrians of Beth-rehob, and the Syrians of Zoba, twenty thousand footmen, and of king Maacah a thousand men, and of Ish-tob twelve thousand men.
Ke mwet Ammon elos akilen lah elos sifacna oru tuh David elan mwet lokoalokla lalos, na elos som moli longoul tausin mwet mweun Syria in acn Bethrehob ac Zobah, ac singoul luo tausin mwet Tob, oayapa tokosra lun Maacah wi sie tausin mwet.
7 And when David heard of [it], he sent Joab, and all the host of the mighty men.
David el lohngak, na el supwalla Joab ac un mwet mweun lal nukewa.
8 And the children of Ammon came out, and put the battle in array at the entering in of the gate: and the Syrians of Zoba, and of Rehob, and Ish-tob, and Maacah, [were] by themselves in the field.
Mwet Ammon elos fahsr som nu ke nien utyak nu Rabbah, siti fulat lalos, ac tu na akola we. Mwet nukewa saya — mwet Syria, mwet Tob, ac mwet Maacah — elos som nu yen turangang ac akola pac in mweun we.
9 When Joab saw that the front of the battle was against him before and behind, he chose of all the choice [men] of Israel, and put [them] in array against the Syrians:
Joab el liye tuh mwet lokoalok lalos ac mweunelos meet ah me ac tokolos me. Ouinge el sulela mwet ma wo emeet ke mweun sin mwet Israel, ac oakelosi in lain mwet Syria.
10 And the rest of the people he delivered into the hand of Abishai his brother, that he might put [them] in array against the children of Ammon.
Ac el sang Abishai, tamulel lal, in kol mwet mweun lula nukewa, na Abishai el oakelosi in lain mwet Ammon.
11 And he said, If the Syrians be too strong for me, then thou shalt help me: but if the children of Ammon be too strong for thee, then I will come and help thee.
Joab el fahk nu sel, “Kom fin liye tuh mwet Syria ac kutangyula, na kom tuku kasreyu. Ac nga fin liye tuh mwet Ammon ac kutangkomla, na nga ac fahsrot kasrekom.
12 Be of good courage, and let us play the men for our people, and for the cities of our God: and the LORD do that which seemeth him good.
Kom in ku ac pulaik! Lela kut in sang kuiyasr nufon in mweun ke mwet lasr ac ke siti nukewa lun God lasr. Finsrak tuh in fahsr ou ma lungse lun LEUM GOD!”
13 And Joab drew nigh, and the people that [were] with him, unto the battle against the Syrians: and they fled before him.
Joab ac mwet lal elos fahsryak nu ke mweun, ac mwet Syria elos kaing.
14 And when the children of Ammon saw that the Syrians were fled, then fled they also before Abishai, and entered into the city. So Joab returned from the children of Ammon, and came to Jerusalem.
Ke mwet Ammon elos liye lah mwet Syria kaing, na elos kaingla lukel Abishai, ac foloki nu in siti uh. Na Joab el forla sisla mweun lal yurin mwet Ammon, ac folokla nu Jerusalem.
15 And when the Syrians saw that they were smitten before Israel, they gathered themselves together.
Mwet Syria elos akilen lah mwet Israel elos kutangulosla, na elos pangoneni mwet mweun lalos nukewa nu sie.
16 And Hadarezer sent, and brought out the Syrians that [were] beyond the river: and they came to Helam; and Shobach the captain of the host of Hadarezer [went] before them.
Tokosra Hadadezer el sapla nu sin mwet Syria su muta layen kutulap in Infacl Euphrates, ac elos tuku nu Helam, ye kolyuk lal Shobach, captain lun un mwet mweun lal Tokosra Hadadezer lun Zobah.
17 And when it was told David, he gathered all Israel together, and passed over Jordan, and came to Helam. And the Syrians set themselves in array against David, and fought with him.
Ke David el lohngak ma inge, el orani mwet mweun lun Israel ac tupalla Infacl Jordan ac som nu Helam, yen mwet Syria elos akola soanel we. Mweun uh mutawauk,
18 And the Syrians fled before Israel; and David slew [the men of] seven hundred chariots of the Syrians, and forty thousand horsemen, and smote Shobach the captain of their host, who died there.
na mwet Israel elos ukwauk mwet mweun Syria. David ac mwet lal ah uniya mwet itfoko su kasrusr ke chariot, ac angngaul tausin mwet kasrusr fin horse, ac elos kantelya Shobach, captain lun un mwet mweun su lainulos, ac el misa na yen mweun ah orek we.
19 And when all the kings [that were] servants to Hadarezer saw that they were smitten before Israel, they made peace with Israel, and served them. So the Syrians feared to help the children of Ammon any more.
Ke tokosra ekasr su fahsr tokol Hadadezer elos akilen lah kutangyukla elos, na elos orek misla yurin mwet Israel, ac mutawauk orekma nu selos. Ac mwet Syria elos sangeng in sifilpa kasru mwet Ammon.
