Sie Samuel 30

1 Tukun len luo, David ac mwet lal elos sun acn Ziklag. Mwet Amalek elos mweuni acn eir in acn Judah, ac elos utyak tari nu Ziklag. Elos esukak acn we,

And it came to pass, when David and his men were come to Ziklag on the third day, that the Amalekites had invaded the south, and Ziklag, and smitten Ziklag, and burned it with fire;

2 ac sruokya mutan nukewa. Elos tia uniya kutena mwet, tusruk elos usla mwet nukewa welulos ke elos som liki acn we.

And had taken the women captives that [were] in it, they slew not any, either great or small, but carried [them] away, and went on their way.

3 Ke David ac mwet lal tuku, elos liye tuh na siti sac firiryak, na sruhu ac utukla mutan kialos ac tulik natulos, mukul ac mutan.

So David and his men came to the city, and behold, [it was] burned with fire; and their wives, and their sons, and their daughters, were taken captives.

4 David ac mwet lal elos mutawauk in tung, ac elos tung nwe mas na.

Then David and the people that [were] with him, lifted up their voice and wept, until they had no more power to weep.

5 Finne Ahinoam ac Abigail, su eltal mutan kial David, elos utukla pac.

And David's two wives were taken captives, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess, and Abigail the wife of Nabal the Carmelite.

6 David el muta in fosrnga lulap, mweyen mwet lal elos toasr na pwaye lah utukla tulik natulos, pwanang elos oru elos in tanglal David. Tusruktu David el ngetak nu sin LEUM GOD tuh Elan akkeyal.

And David was greatly distressed: for the people spoke of stoning him, because the soul of all the people was grieved, every man for his sons, and for his daughters: but David encouraged himself in the LORD his God.

7 David el fahk nu sin mwet tol Abiathar, wen natul Ahimelech, “Use nuknuk ephod lun mwet tol,” na Abiathar el use ac sang nu sel.

And David said to Abiathar the priest, Ahimelech's son, I pray thee bring me hither the ephod. And Abiathar brought thither the ephod to David.

8 Na David el siyuk sin LEUM GOD, “Ya fal nga in som ukwe mwet su aklokoalokye kut? Nga ac ku in sruokolosi?” Na LEUM GOD El topuk, “Aok, ukwalos! Kom ac fah sruokolosi, ac kom fah molela mwet ma sruhu.”

And David inquired of the LORD, saying, Shall I pursue this troop? shall I overtake them? And he answered him, Pursue; for thou shalt surely overtake [them], and without fail recover [all].

9 Ouinge David ac mwet onfoko lal elos som in ukwalos, ac ke elos sun Infacl srisrik Besor, kutu selos mutana we.

So David went, he and the six hundred men that [were] with him, and came to the brook Besor, where those that were left behind remained.

10 David ac mwet angfoko lal sifilpa som. Mwet luofoko saya elos arulana totola ac tia ku in wi tupalla Infacl soko ah, oru elos mutana tia wi som.

But David pursued, he and four hundred men: for two hundred abode behind, who were so faint that they could not go over the brook Besor.

11 Mwet ma welul David elos konauk tulik mukul Egypt se yen mwesis ah, na elos usalu nu yorol David. Elos sang kutu bread nal ac kof nimal,

And they found an Egyptian in the field, and brought him to David, and gave him bread, and he ate; and they made him drink water;

12 ac fig paola, ac tun in grape pao luo. Ke el mongo tari na el kui. El tuh tia mongo ku nim ke lusen len tolu.

And they gave him a piece of a cake of figs, and two clusters of raisins: and when he had eaten, his spirit came again to him: for he had eaten no bread, nor drank [any] water, three days and three nights.

13 David el siyuk sel, “Ku su leum lom uh, ac kom mwet oya?” Tulik sac fahk nu sel, “Nga mwet Egypt. Nga mwet kohs lun sie mwet Amalek. Leum luk ah som likiyu len tolu lac pa inge, mweyen nga luman mas kutu.

And David said to him, To whom [belongest] thou? and whence [art] thou? And he said, I [am] a young man of Egypt, servant to an Amalekite; and my master left me, because three days ago I fell sick.

14 Kut tuh som mweuni acn lun mwet Chereth ma oan eir in acn Judah, oayapa acn lun mwet in sou lal Caleb, ac kut esukak pac acn Ziklag.”

We made an invasion [upon] the south of the Cherethites, and upon [the coast] which [belongeth] to Judah, and upon the south of Caleb; and we burned Ziklag with fire.

15 Na David el siyuk sel, “Kom ku in pwen kut nu yurin u se ingan?” Tulik sac topuk, “Aok, kom fin wulela nu sik ye mutun God lah kom ac tia uniyuwi, ku usyula nu yurin leum luk.”

And David said to him, Canst thou conduct me down to this company? And he said, Swear to me by God, that thou wilt neither kill me, nor deliver me into the hands of my master, and I will lead thee down to this company.

16 Ac el pwanul David nu yurin u se ma orek lokoalok. Mwet inge elos oalik acn se elos muta we ah. Elos mongo ac nimnim ac orek engan in akfulatye lah arulana pus ma elos sruokya in facl lun mwet Philistia ac Judah.

And when he had conducted him down, behold, [they were] spread abroad upon all the earth, eating and drinking, and dancing, because of all the great spoil that they had taken from the land of the Philistines, and from the land of Judah.

17 Toang in len tok ah, David el mweun lainulos. El mweunelos nwe ke na ekela. Oasr mwet angfoko sroang nu fin camel natulos ac kaingla, a funu mwet nukewa saya uh elos tiana kaingla.

And David smote them from the twilight even to the evening of the next day: and there escaped not a man of them, save four hundred young men, who rode upon camels, and fled.

18 David el molela mwet nukewa ac ma nukewa ma mwet Amalek elos tuh usla, wi mutan luo kial sifacna.

And David recovered all that the Amalekites had carried away: and David rescued his two wives.

19 Wangin ma tuhlac. David el folokonma tulik mukul ac tulik mutan nukewa nutin mwet lal ah, oayapa ma nukewa mwet Amalek elos tuh usla.

And there was nothing lacking to them, neither small nor great, neither sons nor daughters, neither spoil, nor any [thing] that they had taken to them: David recovered all.

20 El oayapa folokonma un sheep ac cow ma utukla. Mwet lal elos oru kosro inge fahsr meet lukelos, ac elos fahk, “Ma inge nukewa ma lal David!”

And David took all the flocks and the herds, [which] they drove before those [other] cattle, and said, This [is] David's spoil.

21 Na David el folokla nu yurin mwet luofoko ma tuh mutana Infacl srisrik Besor ke sripen elos arulana munas ac kofla welul. Elos tuyak in osun nu sel ac mwet lal, ac David el paingulos ke kas kulang.

And David came to the two hundred men, who were so faint that they could not follow David, whom they had made also to abide at the brook Besor: and they went forth to meet David, and to meet the people that [were] with him: and when David came near to the people, he saluted them.

22 Tusruktu, kutu mukul srangesroa ac lusrongten sin mwet ma welul David som ah, elos fahk, “Mwet inge tiana wi kut som, na pa kut ac tiana sang nu selos ma kut eis inge. Elos in eis mutan kialos ac tulik natulos, ac fahla liki kut.”

Then answered all the wicked men, and [men] of Belial, of those that went with David, and said, Because they went not with us, we will not give them [aught] of the spoil that we have recovered, save to every man his wife and his children, that they may lead [them] away, and depart.

23 A David el fahk, “Ma lik, kowos tia ku in oru ouinge nu ke ma LEUM GOD El ase nu sesr! El molikutla, ac El ase kutangla nu sesr fin mwet lokoalok lasr.

Then said David, Ye shall not do so, my brethren, with that which the LORD hath given us, who hath preserved us, and delivered the company that came against us into our hand.

24 Wanginna mwet ku in insese nu ke ma kowos fahk inge! Mwet nukewa in eis oana sie. Ip se lun mwet su muta taran ma lasr, ac fah oana ip se lun mwet ma som wi mweun.”

For who will hearken to you in this matter? but as his part [is] that goeth down to the battle, so [shall] his part [be] that tarrieth by the goods: they shall part alike.

25 David el oakiya ma sap se inge, ac mwet Israel elos fahsrna kac nwe misenge.

And it was [so] from that day forward, that he made it a statute and an ordinance for Israel to this day.

26 Ke David el folokla nu Ziklag, el supwala kutu ma wap inge nu sin mwet kawuk lal, su mwet kol in acn Judah, wi kas inge, “Mwe lung nu suwos inge, ma kut eisla sin mwet lokoalok lun LEUM GOD.”

And when David came to Ziklag, he sent of the spoil to the elders of Judah, [even] to his friends, saying, Behold a present for you, of the spoil of the enemies of the LORD;

27 El supu ma inge nu sin mwet su muta Bethel, ac mwet su muta Ramah su oan eir in Judah, ac nu sin mwet su muta Jattir,

To [them] who [were] in Beth-el, and to [them] who [were] in south Ramoth, and to [them] who [were] in Jattir,

28 Aroer, Siphmoth, Eshtemoa,

And to [them] who [were] in Aroer, and to [them] who [were] in Siphmoth, and to [them] who [were] in Eshtemoa,

29 ac Racal; ac nu sin sou lal Jerahmeel, ac nu sin mwet Ken,

And to [them] who [were] in Rachal, and to [them] who [were] in the cities of the Jerahmeelites, and to [them] who [were] in the cities of the Kenites,

30 ac nu sin mwet su muta in siti Hormah, Borashan, Athach,

And to [them] who [were] in Hormah, and to [them] who [were] in Chor-ashan, and to [them] who [were] in Athach,

31 ac Hebron. El supu ma inge nu in acn nukewa ma el, ac mwet lal, elos tuh fufahsryesr we.

And to [them] who [were] in Hebron, and to all the places where David himself and his men were accustomed to resort.
