Sie Samuel 26

1 Kutu mwet Ziph tuku nu yorol Saul in acn Gibeah, ac fahk nu sel lah David el wikwik oasr Fineol Hachilah, su oan sisken yen mwesis Judea.

And the Ziphites came unto Saul to Gibeah, saying, Doth not David hide himself in the hill of Hachilah, which is before the desert?

2 In kitin pacl ah na Saul el tuyak ac eis tolu tausin mwet mweun lun Israel su arulana pulaik, ac som nu yen mwesis in Ziph in sokol David.

Then Saul arose, and went down to the wilderness of Ziph, having three thousand chosen men of Israel with him, to seek David in the wilderness of Ziph.

3 Saul ac mwet lal elos tulokinya lohm nuknuk selos ke sisken inkanek soko oan Fineol Hachilah. David el srakna muta yen mwesis uh, ac ke el lohng lah Saul el tuku sokol,

And Saul encamped in the hill of Hachilah, which is before the desert, by the way. But David abode in the wilderness, and he saw that Saul came after him into the wilderness.

4 el supwala mwet kalngeyuk ac elos konauk tuh pwaye, Saul el oasr we.

David therefore sent out spies, and understood that Saul was come of a certainty.

5 In kitin pacl ah, David el som ac konauk acn se ma Saul ac Abner motul we. (Abner el wen natul Ner, ac captain lun mwet mweun lal Saul.) Saul el motul infulwen nien aktuktuk, ac mwet lal elos raunella.

And David arose, and came to the place where Saul had encamped; and David beheld the place where Saul lay, and Abner the son of Ner, the captain of his host: and Saul lay within the place of the wagons, and the people were encamped round about him.

6 Na David el siyuk sel Ahimelech mwet Hit, ac Abishai su ma wial Joab (nina kialtal pa Zeruiah), ac fahk, “Su kac sumtal ac wiyu som nu nien aktuktuk lal Saul?” Abishai el topuk, “Nga ac wi kom.”

Then answered David and said to Ahimelech the Hittite, and to Abishai the son of Zeruiah, brother to Joab, saying, Who will go down with me to Saul to the camp? And Abishai said, I will go down with thee.

7 Na in fong sac, David ac Abishai som ac utyak nu nien aktuktuk lal Saul, ac konalak ke el motul infulwen nien aktuktuk uh, ac osra natul ah kasiki oan sisken sifal. Abner ac mwet mweun elos motul raunella.

So David and Abishai came to the people by night: and, behold, Saul lay sleeping within the place of the wagons, with his spear stuck in the ground at his head; and Abner and the people lay round about him.

8 Ac Abishai el fahk nu sel David, “God El asot mwet lokoalok lom nu inpoum ofong. Lela nga in faksilya inge ke osra natul sifacna. Nga ac faksilya nu infohk uh ke fakfuk sefanna — ac tia enenu in pacl luo!”

Then said Abishai to David, God hath delivered up thine enemy into thy hand this day: now therefore let me smite him, I pray thee, with the spear to the earth at one stroke, and I will not smite him the second time.

9 Tusruktu David el fahk, “Nik kom akkolukyal! LEUM GOD El ac kai kutena mwet su akkolukye moul lun tokosra se su El sulela.”

And David said to Abishai, Destroy him not; for who can put forth his hand against Jehovah’s anointed, and be guiltless?

10 Na David el sifil fahk, “Ke Inen LEUM GOD moul, nga etu tuh LEUM GOD El ac fah sifacna unilya Saul — finne ke misa lal in pacl fal lal, ku ke misa lal in pacl mweun.

And David said, As Jehovah liveth, Jehovah will smite him; or his day shall come to die; or he shall go down into battle and perish.

11 LEUM GOD Elan ikolyuwi tuh nga in tia akkolukye moul lun mwet se su El sulela in tokosra! Tari kut eis osra natul, ac sufa in neinyuk kof nimal, ac som.”

Jehovah forbid that I should put forth my hand against Jehovah’s anointed: but now take, I pray thee, the spear that is at his head, and the cruse of water, and let us go.

12 Ouinge David el eis osra in fakfuk natul Saul ac sufa in neinyuk kof nimal su oan sisken sifal, na el ac Abishai som. Wangin mwet liyaltal, ku etu ma orek inge. Wangin pac selos ngutalik, mweyen LEUM GOD El oru tuh elos in folosuwosla ke motul lalos.

So David took the spear and the cruse of water from Saul’s head; and they gat them away: and no man saw it, nor knew it, neither did any awake; for they were all asleep, because a deep sleep from Jehovah was fallen upon them.

13 Na David el som tupalla infahlfal uh nu lac eol laco, ac fanyak nu fin tohktok se loes kutu liki acn Saul ac mwet lal uh muta we,

Then David went over to the other side, and stood on the top of the mountain afar off; a great space being between them;

14 ac el wowoyak ac pang nu sin mwet lal Saul ac nu sel Abner. El fahk, “Abner, kom ku in lohngyu?” Na Abner el fahk, “Ku su wowon, oru oaksalak tokosra uh?”

and David cried to the people, and to Abner the son of Ner, saying, Answerest thou not, Abner? Then Abner answered and said, Who art thou that criest to the king?

15 Ac David el fahk, “Abner, ya tia kom pa mwet se ma pwengpeng emeet fin Israel uh? Na efu ku kom tia karingin tokosra lowos ingan? Oasr mwet se ilyak pianga nu in nien aktuktuk lowos an in tuh uniya leum se lowos an.

And David said to Abner, Art not thou a [valiant] man? and who is like to thee in Israel? wherefore then hast thou not kept watch over thy lord the king? for there came one of the people in to destroy the king thy lord.

16 Kom tiana oru kunokon lom, Abner! Nga fulahk ye mutun LEUM GOD moul lah fal kowos nukewa in misa, mweyen kowos tiana karingin leum lowos an, el su sulosolla sin LEUM GOD tuh elan tokosra. Liye, pia osra in fakfuk natul tokosra ah? Ac pia sufa in kof se ma oan sisken sifal ah?”

This thing is not good that thou hast done. As Jehovah liveth, ye are worthy to die, because ye have not kept watch over your lord, Jehovah’s anointed. And now see where the king’s spear is, and the cruse of water that was at his head.

17 Saul el akilenak pusracl David, ac el siyuk, “David, wen nutik, ku kom pa ingan?” David el topuk, “Aok, nga pa inge, Leum luk.”

And Saul knew David’s voice, and said, Is this thy voice, my son David? And David said, It is my voice, my lord, O king.

18 Na el sifil tafwela ac fahk, “O Leum luk, efu ku kom srakna ukweyu, mwet kulansap lom? Mea nga orala? Ma koluk fuka nga orala?

And he said, Wherefore doth my lord pursue after his servant? for what have I done? or what evil is in my hand?

19 O tokosra, lohng ma nga fahk inge. Fin LEUM GOD pa pirik kom tuh kom in lainyu, na mwe kisa nu sel ac ku in ekulla nunak lal. A fin mwet pa pirik kom, mwe selnga sin LEUM GOD in oan faclos, ke sripen elos lisyula liki facl sin LEUM GOD, nu in sie facl nga enenu na in alu nu sin god saya we.

Now therefore, I pray thee, let my lord the king hear the words of his servant. If it be Jehovah that hath stirred thee up against me, let him accept an offering: but if it be the children of men, cursed be they before Jehovah; for they have driven me out this day that I should not cleave unto the inheritance of Jehovah, saying, Go, serve other gods.

20 Nikmet lela tuh nga in anwuki in sie facl saya, su loes liki LEUM GOD luk. Efu ku tokosra lun Israel el suk in uniya sie mwet lusrongten oana kuut se? Efu ku el lungse sukyu, oana in won lemnak se pa nga?”

Now therefore, let not my blood fall to the earth away from the presence of Jehovah: for the king of Israel is come out to seek a flea, as when one doth hunt a partridge in the mountains.

21 Na Saul el topuk, “Pwaye nga orekma koluk. Foloko, David, wen nutik! Nga ac fah tia sifil akkolukye kom, ke sripen kom tiana eisla moul luk ofong. Nga arulana lalfon, ac ma na koluk se pa nga oru uh!”

Then said Saul, I have sinned: return, my son David; for I will no more do thee harm, because my life was precious in thine eyes this day: behold, I have played the fool, and have erred exceedingly.

22 David el fahk, “Pa inge osra nutum ah, Leum luk. Supwama sie mwet lom ingan in tuku eis.

And David answered and said, Behold the spear, O king! let then one of the young men come over and fetch it.

23 LEUM GOD El sang ma lacne nu sin mwet su oaru ac suwoswos. Misenge el eiskomme nu inpouk, tuh nga tia lungse akkolukye kom, mweyen kom pa LEUM GOD El sulela tuh kom in tokosra.

And Jehovah will render to every man his righteousness and his faithfulness; forasmuch as Jehovah delivered thee into my hand to-day, and I would not put forth my hand against Jehovah’s anointed.

24 In oana ke nga molikomla ac tia unikomi misenge, lela tuh LEUM GOD Elan oru oapana nu sik, ac moliyula liki mwe ongoiya nukewa!”

And, behold, as thy life was much set by this day in mine eyes, so let my life be much set by in the eyes of Jehovah, and let him deliver me out of all tribulation.

25 Ac Saul el fahk nu sel David, “God Elan akinsewowoye kom, wen nutik! Kom fah kutangla fin ma nukewa kom oru!” Na David el som inkanek lal, ac Saul el folokla nu in acn sel.

Then Saul said to David, Blessed be thou, my son David: thou shalt both do mightily, and shalt surely prevail. So David went his way, and Saul returned to his place.
