2 Samuel 2
1 And it came to pass after this, that David inquired of the LORD, saying, Shall I go up into any of the cities of Judah? And the LORD said unto him, Go up. And David said, Whither shall I go up? And he said, Unto 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 David went up thither, and his two wives also, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess, and Abigail the wife of Nabal 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 his men that were with him did David bring up, every man with his household: 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 And the men of Judah came, and there they anointed David king over the house of Judah. And they told David, saying, The men of Jabesh-gilead were they that 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 David sent messengers unto the men of Jabesh-gilead, and said unto them, Blessed be ye of the LORD, that ye have shewed this kindness unto your lord, even unto Saul, and have 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 And now the LORD shew kindness and truth unto you: and I also will requite you this kindness, because ye have 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 Now therefore let your hands be strong, and be ye valiant: for Saul your lord is dead, and also the house of Judah have anointed me king over them.
Kowos in ku ac pulaik! Saul, tokosra lowos, el misa, ac mwet Judah elos mosrweyula in tokosra lalos.”
8 Now Abner the son of Ner, captain of Saul’s host, had taken Ish-bosheth the son of Saul, and brought him over 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 he made him king over Gilead, and over the Ashurites, and over Jezreel, and over Ephraim, and over Benjamin, and over all 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 Saul’s son was forty years old when he began to reign over Israel, and he reigned two years.) But the house of Judah followed David.
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 that David was king in Hebron over the house of Judah was seven years and six months.
ac el leum in acn Hebron fin mwet Judah ke yac itkosr tafu.
12 And Abner the son of Ner, and the servants of Ish-bosheth the son of Saul, went out from Mahanaim to Gibeon.
Abner ac mwet pwapa lal Ishbosheth elos som liki Mahanaim nu in siti Gibeon.
13 And Joab the son of Zeruiah, and the servants of David, went out, and met them by the pool of Gibeon; and they sat down, the one on the one side of the pool, and the other on the other side of the pool.
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 And Abner said to Joab, Let the young men, I pray thee, arise and play before us. And Joab 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 they arose and went over by number; twelve for Benjamin, and for Ish-bosheth the son of Saul, and twelve of the servants of David.
Ouinge mwet singoul luo sin mwet lal Ishbosheth ac sruf lal Benjamin, elos lain mwet singoul luo sin mwet lal David.
16 And they caught every one his fellow by the head, and [thrust] his sword in his fellow’s side; so they fell down together: wherefore that 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 battle was very sore that day; and Abner was beaten, and the men of Israel, before the servants of David.
Na mweun na upa se srola, ac David ac mwet lal elos kutangulla Abner ac mwet Israel.
18 And the three sons of Zeruiah were there, Joab, and Abishai, and Asahel: and Asahel was as light of foot as a wild roe.
Wen tolu natul Zeruiah oasr kac: Joab, Abishai, ac Asahel. Asahel, su kasrusr mui oana deer inima soko,
19 And Asahel pursued after Abner; and in going he turned not to the right hand nor to the left from following Abner.
el ukwal Abner suwosyang tokol.
20 Then Abner looked behind him, and said, Is it thou, Asahel? And he answered, It is I.
Abner el tapulla siyuk, “Asahel, ya kom pa ingan?” El topuk, “Aok, nga.”
21 And Abner said to him, Turn thee aside to thy right hand or to thy left, and lay thee hold on one of the young men, and take thee his armour. But Asahel would not turn aside from following of 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 said again to Asahel, Turn thee aside from following me: wherefore should I smite thee to the ground? how then should I hold up my face to Joab 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 Howbeit he refused to turn aside: wherefore Abner with the hinder end of the spear smote him in the belly, that the spear came out behind him; and he fell down there, and died in the same place: and it came to pass, that as many as came to the place where Asahel fell down and died stood 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 But Joab and Abishai pursued after Abner: and the sun went down when they were come to the hill of Ammah, that lieth before Giah by the way of the wilderness 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 Benjamin gathered themselves together after Abner, and became one band, and stood 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 Joab, and said, Shall the sword devour for ever? knowest thou not that it will be bitterness in the latter end? how long shall it be then, ere thou bid the people return 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 Joab said, As God liveth, if thou hadst not spoken, surely then in the morning the people had gone away, nor followed every one 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 Joab blew the trumpet, and all the people stood 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 went all that night through the Arabah; and they passed over Jordan, and went through all Bithron, and 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 And Joab returned from following Abner: and when he had gathered all the people together, there lacked of David’s servants nineteen men and Asahel.
Ke Joab el tulokinya mwet lal ah, el konauk tuh na mwet singoul eu wanginla, sayal Asahel.
31 But the servants of David had smitten of Benjamin, and of Abner’s men, [so that] three hundred and threescore men died.
Mwet lal David uniya mwet tolfoko onngoul sin mwet lal Abner ke sruf lal Benjamin.
32 And they took up Asahel, and buried him in the sepulchre of his father, which was in Beth-lehem. And Joab and his men went all night, and the day brake upon them at Hebron.
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.
