Luo Samuel 19

1 Fwackyang nu sel Joab lah Tokosra David el tung ac arulana asor kacl Absalom.

And word was given to Joab that the king was weeping and sorrowing for Absalom.

2 Ke ma inge, enganak lun mwet mweun nukewa lal David ke sripen kutangla lalos in len sac, ekla nu ke asor ac supwar, mweyen elos lohng lah tokosra el arulana asor ke wen natul.

And the salvation of that day was changed to sorrow for all the people: for it was said to the people, The king is in bitter grief for his son.

3 Elos mahsrikyak nu in siti ah, oana luman mwet mweun su ac mwekin elos fin kaing liki mweun uh.

And the people made their way back to the town quietly and secretly, as those who are shamed go secretly when they go in flight from the war.

4 Tokosra el nokomla mutal ac tung ke pusra lulap, “We, wen nutik! Wen nutik, Absalom! Absalom nutik!”

But the king, covering his face, gave a great cry, O my son Absalom, O Absalom, my son, my son!

5 Joab el som nu lohm sin tokosra ac fahk nu sel, “Misenge kom arulana akmwekinye mwet lom, aok elos su tuh molikomla oayapa molela wen nutum, acn nutum, mutan kiom ac mutan kulansap kiom.

And Joab came into the house to the king and said, Today you have put to shame the faces of all your servants who even now have kept you and your sons and your daughters and your wives and all your women safe from death;

6 Kom lain mwet su lungse kom, ac akkeye mwet su srungekom! Kom arulana akkalemye lah mwet pwapa lom ac mwet mweun lom wangin sripalos nu sum. Nga liye tuh kom lukun arulana engan misenge funu Absalom pa moul a kut nukewa misa.

For your haters, it seems, are dear to you, and your friends are hated. For you have made it clear that captains and servants are nothing to you: and now I see that if Absalom was living and we had all been dead today, it would have been right in your eyes.

7 Inge, fahla ac sang kutu kas in akkeye insien mwet lom an. Nga fulahk Inen LEUM GOD lah kom fin tia oru, na lututang wangin siefanna selos ac fah wi kom. Ma koluk se inge ac tuh alukela ma koluk nukewa ma sikyak nu sum in pacl oemeet me nu misenge.”

So get up now, and go out and say some kind words to your servants; for, by the Lord, I give you my oath, that if you do not go out, not one of them will keep with you tonight; and that will be worse for you than all the evil which has overtaken you from your earliest years.

8 Na tokosra el tukakek ac som muta apkuran nu ke mutunpot in siti ah. Mwet lal ah lohngak lah el oasr we, na elos nukewa som muta yorol. In pacl se ingan, mwet Israel nukewa folokla tari nu yen selos kais sie.

Then the king got up and took his seat near the town-door. And word was given to all the people that the king was in the public place: and all the people came before the king. Now all the men of Israel had gone back in flight to their tents.

9 In facl sac nufon elos mutawauk akukuin inmasrlolos sifacna ac fahk, “Tokosra David el molikutla liki mwet lokoalok lasr. El loangekutla liki mwet Philistia, a inge el kaingla lukel Absalom ac som liki facl se inge.

And through all the tribes of Israel the people were having arguments, saying, The king made us safe from the hands of those who were against us and made us free from the hands of the Philistines; and now he has gone in flight from the land, because of Absalom.

10 Kut tuh mosrwella Absalom elan tokosra lasr, a anwuki el ke mweun. Na efu ku wangin mwet som srike in folokunulma Tokosra David?”

And Absalom, whom we made a ruler over us, is dead in the fight. So now why do you say nothing about getting the king back? And word of what all Israel was saying came to the king.

11 Pweng ke ma mwet Israel elos fahk inge sonol Tokosra David, na el supwalla Zadok mwet tol, ac Abiathar in siyuk sin mwet kol lun Judah, “Efu ku in kowos pa etok in folokunulla tokosra nu in lohm sel?

And King David sent word to Zadok and Abiathar, the priests, Say to the responsible men of Judah, Why are you the last to take steps to get the king back to his house?

12 Kowos sou luk. Kut srah sefanna ac ikwa sefanna. Efu ku in tuh kowos pa etok in folokinyume an?”

You are my brothers, my bone and my flesh; why are you the last to get the king back again?

13 David el oayapa sap elos in fahk nu sel Amasa, “Kom sou luk. Nga sulekomla in aolulla Joab kol mwet mweun luk ingela. Lela LEUM GOD Elan sringilyuwi ngan misa, nga fin tia oru oana nga fahk uh!”

And say to Amasa, Are you not my bone and my flesh? May God's punishment be on me, if I do not make you chief of the army before me at all times in place of Joab!

14 Mwet Judah nukewa elos arulana insewowo ke kas lal David inge, ac elos sapla nu yorol elan foloko wi mwet pwapa lal nukewa.

And the hearts of the men of Judah were moved like one man; so that they sent to the king, saying, Come back, with all your servants.

15 Ke tokosra el folok ah, mwet Judah elos tuku sonol ke Infacl Jordan. Elos tuh tuku nu Gilgal in atlol ke el tupalla infacl ah.

So the king came back, and came as far as Jordan. And Judah came to Gilgal, meeting the king there, to take him back with them over Jordan.

16 In pacl sacna, Shimei mwet Benjamin, su wen natul Gera mwet Bahurim, el sulaklak som nu Infacl Jordan in osun nu sel David.

And Shimei, the son of Gera, the Benjamite from Bahurim, got up quickly and went down with the men of Judah for the purpose of meeting King David;

17 El us sie tausin mwet in sruf lal Benjamin welul. Ac Ziba, mwet kulansap lun sou lal Saul, el oayapa tuku wi wen singoul limekosr natul ac longoul mwet kulansap, ac elos sun Infacl Jordan meet liki tokosra.

And with him a thousand men of Benjamin, and Ziba, the servant of Saul, with his fifteen sons and twenty servants, came rushing to Jordan before the king,

18 Elos tupalla infacl ah in atlol tokosra ac sou lal ah, ac in oru ma nukewa ma tokosra el ac lungse elos in oru. Ke tokosra el akola elan tupalla infacl ah, Shimei el putati nu infohk uh ye mutal,

And kept going across the river to take the people of the king's house over, and to do whatever was desired by the king. And Shimei, the son of Gera, went down on his face in the dust before the king, when he was about to go over Jordan,

19 ac fahk, “Leum luk, nunak munas mulkunla ma koluk nga orala ke len se kom tuh som liki Jerusalem. Nimet nununkeyu, ku sifil nunku kac.

And said to him, Let me not be judged as a sinner in your eyes, O my lord, and do not keep in mind the wrong I did on the day when my lord the king went out of Jerusalem, or take it to heart.

20 Nga sifacna etu lah nga orala ma koluk se, pa sis nga pa mwet se emeet sin sruf in acn epang in tuku osun nu sum misenge.”

For your servant is conscious of his sin: and so, as you see, I have come today, the first of all the sons of Joseph, for the purpose of meeting my lord the king.

21 Abishai, wen natul Zeruiah, el kasla fahk mu, “Fal in anwuki Shimei, mweyen el tuh selngawi el su LEUM GOD El sulela tuh elan tokosra.”

But Abishai, the son of Zeruiah, said, Is not death the right fate for Shimei, because he has been cursing the one marked by the holy oil?

22 Tusruktu David el fahk nu sel Abishai ac Joab, tamulel lal ah, “Su siyuk nunak lomtal an? Ya komtal ac orek lokoalok nu sik? Inge nga pa tokosra lun Israel, na wangin mwet Israel ac fah anwuki misenge.”

And David said, What have I to do with you, you sons of Zeruiah, that you put yourselves against me today? is it right for any man in Israel to be put to death today? for I am certain today that I am king in Israel.

23 Na el fahk nu sel Shimei, “Nga wuleot nu sum lah kom ac fah tia anwuki.”

So the king said to Shimei, You will not be put to death. And the king gave him his oath.

24 Na Mephibosheth, wen nutin natul Saul, el tufokla in osun nu sin tokosra. El tuh tiana olla nial, ku nawela alut lal, ku olla nuknuk lal ah oe ke pacl se tokosra el som liki acn Jerusalem nwe ke el kutangla foloko.

And Mephibosheth, the son of Saul's son, came down for the purpose of meeting the king; his feet had not been cared for or his hair cut or his clothing washed from the day when the king went away till the day when he came back in peace.

25 Ke Mephibosheth el tuku liki acn Jerusalem in osun nu sin tokosra, na tokosra el fahk nu sel, “Mephibosheth, kom tuh tia wiyu som. Efu?”

Now when he had come from Jerusalem to see the king, the king said to him, Why did you not come with me, Mephibosheth?

26 El topuk, “Leum luk, kom kalem kac lah nga mwet ul se. Nga tuh fahkang nu sin mwet kulansap luk elan akoela donkey nutik ah ngan kasrusr fac wikomla, tuh el tiana orala.

And he said in answer, Because of the deceit of my servant, my lord king: for I, your servant, said to him, You are to make ready an ass and on it I will go with the king, for your servant has not the use of his feet.

27 El kaskas kikiap keik nu sum, leum fulat luk. Tusruktu kom oana sie lipufan lun God. Ke ma inge, oru ma kom nunku mu fal kom in oru.

He has given you a false account of me: but my lord the king is like the angel of God: do then whatever seems good to you.

28 Lukun fal tuh kom in uniya nufon mwet in sou lun papa tumuk ah, tuh pa kom tuh lela nu sik in wi mongo ke tepu lom uh. Wangin suwohs luk in siyuk kutepacna ma sum, leum fulat luk.”

For all my father's family were only dead men before my lord the king: and still you put your servant among those whose place is at the king's table. What right then have I to say anything more to the king?

29 Tokosra el topuk, “Kom tia enenu in sifilpa fahk kutena ma, mweyen nga wotela tari lah kom, ac Ziba, pa ac tukeni ipeis ke acn lal Saul uh.”

And the king said, Say nothing more about these things. I say, Let there be a division of the land between Ziba and you.

30 Ac Mephibosheth el topuk, “Lela Ziba elan eis lal nufon. Nga tia enenu kutena ma sayen lah kom foloko nu acn sum uh ke wo ouiya.”

And Mephibosheth said, Let him take it all, now that my lord the king has come back to his house in peace!

31 Barzillai mwet Gilead, el oayapa tufoki Rogelim me in tuh atlol tokosra ke el tupalla Infacl Jordan.

And Barzillai the Gileadite came down from Rogelim; and he went on as far as Jordan with the king to take him across Jordan.

32 Barzillai el arulana matu. El yac oalngoul. El arulana kasrup, ac el tuh sang mwe mongo nun tokosra ke pacl el muta Mahanaim.

Now Barzillai was a very old man, as much as eighty years old: and he had given the king everything he had need of, while he was at Mahanaim, for he was a very great man.

33 Tokosra el fahk nu sel, “Fahsru wiyu som nu Jerusalem, ac nga ac fah karingin kom.”

And the king said to Barzillai, Come over with me, and I will take care of you in Jerusalem.

34 Tuh Barzillai el fahk, “Nga ac tia moul paht. Mwe mea ngan wi tokosra som nu Jerusalem?

And Barzillai said to the king, How much of my life is still before me, for me to go up to Jerusalem with the king?

35 Nga sun yac oalngoul tari, ac wanginna ma nga sifil engan kac pacl inge. Nga tia ku in ema ma nga kang ac nim, ac nga tia ku in lohng pusren mwet on. Nga ac tuh akkemkatuye kom, leum luk.

I am now eighty years old: good and bad are the same to me; have meat and drink any taste for me now? am I able to take pleasure in the voices of men or women in song? why then am I to be a trouble to my lord the king?

36 Nga kupansuwol nu ke kulang lulap lom uh. Tari, nga ac wi kom na alukela infacl ah kutu srisrik,

Your servant's desire was only to take the king over Jordan; why is the king to give me such a reward?

37 na nga siyuk nga in folokla nu lohm sik ah, ac misa apkuran nu ke kulyuk lun papa tumuk ac nina kiuk. Wen se nutik pa inge, Chimham. Eisal in wi kom tuh elan kulansupwekom. Kom fah oru nu sel oana ma kom lungsum, leum fulat luk.”

Let your servant now go back again, so that when death comes to me, it may be in my town and by the resting-place of my father and mother. But here is your servant Chimham: let him go with my lord the king, and do for him what seems good to you.

38 Tokosra el topuk, “Nga ac usal elan wiyu, ac oru nu sel oana ma kom lungse. Oayapa nga ac oru nu sum kutena ma kom siyuk.”

And the king said in answer, Let Chimham go over with me, and I will do for him whatever seems good to you: and whatever your desire is, I will do it for you.

39 Na David ac mwet lal nukewa tupalla Infacl Jordan. El ngok mutal Barzillai ac sang kas in akinsewowoyal, na Barzillai el folokla nu yen sel.

Then all the people went over Jordan, and the king went over: and the king gave Barzillai a kiss, with his blessing; and he went back to his place.

40 Ke tokosra el tupalla Infacl Jordan wi mwet Judah nukewa ac tafu sin mwet Israel su atlol, el fahsr nu Gilgal, ac Chimham el welul.

So the king went over to Gilgal, and Chimham went with him: and all the people of Judah, as well as half the people of Israel, took the king on his way.

41 Na mwet Israel nukewa som nu yorol tokosra ac fahk nu sel, “Leum lasr, efu ku mwet Judah wiasr elos tuh nunku mu oasr suwohs lalos in eiskomla ac atol kom ac sou lom ac mwet lom ke kowos tupalla Infacl Jordan?”

Then the men of Israel came to the king and said, Why have our countrymen of Judah taken you away in secret and come over Jordan with the king and all his family, because all his people are David's men?

42 Na mwet Judah elos topuk ac fahk, “Kut oru mweyen tokosra el sie sesr. Na efu ku ma se inge in aktoasrye kowos? El soenna moli mwe mongo nasr, ku ase kutena ma nu sesr.”

And all the men of Judah gave this answer to the men of Israel, Because the king is our near relation: why then are you angry about this? have we taken any of the king's food, or has he given us any offering?

43 Mwet Israel elos fahk, “Oasr suwohs lasr pacl singoul yohk liki suwohs lowos kacl Tokosra David, el finne sie suwos. Efu kowos ku pilesrekut? Nimet kowos mulkunla lah kut pa sramsramkin meet in folokinyukme tokosra uh!” Tusruktu pusren mwet Judah arulana upa liki pusren mwet Israel ke akukuin se inge.

And in answer to the men of Judah, the men of Israel said, We have ten parts in the king, and we are the first in order of birth: why did you make nothing of us? and were we not the first to make suggestions for getting the king back? And the words of the men of Judah were more violent than the words of the men of Israel.
