1 Samuel 23
1 And they declare to David, saying, 'Lo, the Philistines are fighting against Keilah, and they are spoiling the threshing-floors.'
David el lohngak lah mwet Philistia elos mweun lain acn Keilah ac pisre wheat ke kosrani sasu lalos.
2 And David asketh at Jehovah, saying, 'Do I go? — and have I smitten among these Philistines?' And Jehovah saith unto David, 'Go, and thou hast smitten among the Philistines, and saved 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 David's men say unto him, 'Lo, we here in Judah are afraid; and how much more when we go to Keilah, unto the ranks of the Philistines?'
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 And David addeth again to ask at Jehovah, and Jehovah answereth him, and saith, 'Rise, go down to Keilah, for I am giving the Philistines into thy 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 And David goeth, and his men, to Keilah, and fighteth with the Philistines, and leadeth away their cattle, and smiteth among them — a great smiting, and David saveth 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 it cometh to pass, in the fleeing of Abiathar son of Ahimelech unto David, to Keilah, an ephod came down in his hand.
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 is declared to Saul that David hath come in to Keilah, and Saul saith, 'God hath made him known for my hand, for he hath been shut in, to enter into a city of doors and bar.'
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 And Saul summoneth the whole of the people to battle, to go down to Keilah, to lay siege unto David and unto 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 David knoweth that against him Saul is devising the evil, and saith unto Abiathar the priest, 'Bring nigh 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 And David saith, 'Jehovah, God of Israel, Thy servant hath certainly heard that Saul is seeking to come in unto Keilah, to destroy the city on mine account.
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 Do the possessors of Keilah shut me up into his hand? doth Saul come down as Thy servant hath heard? Jehovah, God of Israel, declare, I pray Thee, to Thy servant.' And Jehovah saith, 'He doth come down.'
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 And David saith, 'Do the possessors of Keilah shut me up, and my men, into the hand of Saul?' And Jehovah saith, 'They shut [thee] up.'
Ac David el sifil siyuk, “Ya mwet Keilah elos ac eisyuyang ac mwet luk inge nu inpaol Saul?” LEUM GOD El topuk, “Aok.”
13 And David riseth — and his men — about six hundred men, and they go out from Keilah, and go up and down where they go up and down; and to Saul it hath been declared that David hath escaped from Keilah, and he ceaseth to go out.
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 David abideth in the wilderness, in fortresses, and abideth in the hill-country, in the wilderness of Ziph; and Saul seeketh him all the days, and God hath not given him 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 David seeth that Saul hath come out to seek his life, and David [is] in the wilderness of Ziph, in a forest.
Ac David el liye tuh Saul el sukna elan unilya. David el muta Horesh, in acn mwesis apkuran nu Ziph.
16 And Jonathan son of Saul riseth, and goeth unto David to the forest, and strengtheneth his hand in God,
Ac Jonathan el som nu yorol ac sang kas in akkeyal ac akesmakinyal lah God El karinganul na.
17 and saith unto him, 'Fear not, for the hand of Saul my father doth not find thee, and thou dost reign over Israel, and I am to thee for second, and also so knoweth Saul my father.'
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 And they make a covenant both of them before Jehovah; and David abideth in the forest, and Jonathan hath gone 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 And the Ziphites go up unto Saul to Gibeah, saying, 'Is not David hiding himself with us in fortresses, in the forest, in the height of Hachilah, which [is] on the south of the desolate place?
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 And, now, by all the desire of thy soul, O king, to come down, come down, and ours [is] to shut him up into the hand of the king.'
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 And Saul saith, 'Blessed [are] ye of Jehovah, for ye have pity on me;
Saul el fahk, “LEUM GOD Elan akinsewowoye kowos ke kulang lowos nu sik uh!
22 go, I pray you, prepare yet, and know and see his place where his foot is; who hath seen him there? for [one] hath said unto me, He is very subtile.
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 And see and know of all the hiding-places where he hideth himself, and ye have turned back unto me prepared, and I have gone with you, and it hath been, if he is in the land, that I have searched him out through all the thousands of Judah.'
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 And they rise and go to Ziph before Saul, and David and his men [are] in the wilderness of Maon, in the plain, at the south of the desolate place.
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 And Saul and his men go to seek, and they declare to David, and he goeth down the rock, and abideth in the wilderness of Maon; and Saul heareth, and pursueth after David [to] the wilderness 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 goeth on this side of the mountain, and David and his men on that side of the mountain, and David is hastened to go from the face of Saul, and Saul and his men are compassing David and his men, to catch 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 And a messenger hath come in unto Saul, saying, 'Haste, and come, for the Philistines have pushed against 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 And Saul turneth back from pursuing after David, and goeth to meet the Philistines, therefore they have called that place 'The Rock of Divisions.'
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 David goeth up thence, and abideth in fortresses [at] En-gedi.
David el som liki acn we, ac fahsr nu acn se pangpang “Engedi,” ac el muta wikwik we.
