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.

The Ziphites came to Saul to Gibeah, saying, “Doesn’t 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,

Saul encamped in the hill of Hachilah, which is before the desert, by the way. But David stayed 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 had certainly come.

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.

Then David arose and came to the place where Saul had encamped; and David saw the place where Saul lay, with Abner the son of Ner, the captain of his army. Saul lay within the place of the wagons, and the people were encamped around 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 David answered and said to Ahimelech the Hittite, and to Abishai the son of Zeruiah, brother of Joab, saying, “Who will go down with me to Saul to the camp?” Abishai said, “I will go down with you.”

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 around 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 Abishai said to David, “God has delivered up your enemy into your hand today. Now therefore please let me strike him with the spear to the earth at one stroke, and I will not strike 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.”

David said to Abishai, “Don’t destroy him, for who can stretch out his hand against the LORD’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.

David said, “As the LORD lives, the LORD will strike 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.”

The LORD forbid that I should stretch out my hand against the LORD’s anointed; but now please take the spear that is at his head and the jar of water, and let’s 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 jar of water from Saul’s head, and they went away. No man saw it, or knew it, nor did any awake; for they were all asleep, because a deep sleep from the LORD had fallen on 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 far away, 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, “Don’t you answer, Abner?” Then Abner answered, “Who are you who calls 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.

David said to Abner, “Aren’t you a man? Who is like you in Israel? Why then have you not kept watch over your lord the king? For one of the people came in to destroy your lord the king.

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 isn’t good that you have done. As the LORD lives, you are worthy to die, because you have not kept watch over your lord, the LORD’s anointed. Now see where the king’s spear is, and the jar 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.”

Saul recognised David’s voice, and said, “Is this your voice, my son David?” 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?

He said, “Why does my lord pursue his servant? For what have I done? 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, please let my lord the king hear the words of his servant. If it is so that the LORD has stirred you up against me, let him accept an offering. But if it is the children of men, they are cursed before the LORD; for they have driven me out today that I shouldn’t cling to the LORD’s inheritance, 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, don’t let my blood fall to the earth away from the presence of the LORD; for the king of Israel has come out to seek a flea, as when one hunts 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 Saul said, “I have sinned. Return, my son David; for I will no more do you harm, because my life was precious in your eyes today. 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.

David answered, “Behold the spear, O king! Let one of the young men come over and get 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.

The LORD will render to every man his righteousness and his faithfulness; because the LORD delivered you into my hand today, and I wouldn’t stretch out my hand against the LORD’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!”

Behold, as your life was respected today in my eyes, so let my life be respected in the LORD’s eyes, and let him deliver me out of all oppression.”

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, “You are blessed, my son David. You will both do mightily, and will surely prevail.” So David went his way, and Saul returned to his place.
