< Kings II 1 >

1 And it came to pass after Saul was dead, that David returned from smiting Amalec, and David abode two days in Sekelac.
Tukun Saul el misa, David el foloko ke el tuh kutangla mwet Amalek, na el muta in acn Ziklag ke len luo.
2 And it came to pass on the third day, that, behold, a man came from the camp, from the people of Saul, and his garments were rent, and earth [was] upon his head: and it came to pass when he went in to David, that he fell upon the earth, and did obeisance to him.
Ke len toko ah, mwet fusr se tuku liki nien aktuktuk lal Saul. El tuh seya nuknuk lal ac sang fohkfok nu fin sifal in akkalemye asor lal. El som nu yorol David ac srimi nwe infohk uh in akfulatyal.
3 And David said to him, Whence comest thou? and he said to him, I have escaped out of the camp of Israel.
David el siyuk sel, “Kom tuku ya me?” El topuk, “Nga kaingla liki nien aktuktuk lun mwet Israel.”
4 And David said to him, What [is] the matter? tell me. And he said, The people fled out of the battle, and many of the people have fallen and are dead, and Saul and Jonathan his son are dead.
David el fahk, “Fahk nu sik lah mea sikyak.” Na el topuk, “Mwet mweun lasr ah kaingla liki mweun ah, ac pukanten mwet lasr anwuki. Saul ac Jonathan wen natul, wi pac misa.”
5 And David said to the young man who brought him the tidings, How knowest thou that Saul and Jonathan his son are dead?
Na David el fahk, “Kom etu fuka lah Saul ac Jonathan misa?”
6 And the young man that brought the tidings, said to him, I happened accidentally to be upon mount Gelbue; and, behold, Saul was leaning upon his spear, and, behold, the chariots and captains of horse pressed hard upon him.
El topuk, “Nga tuh muta Fineol Gilboa, ac nga liye ke Saul el fungyang nu fin osra natul ah, na chariot ac mwet kasrusr fin horse lun mwet lokoalok ah apkuranyang nu yorol.
7 And he looked behind him, and saw me, and called me; and I said, Behold, [here am] I.
Na el forma twe liyeyuyak, ac el pangonyu. Na nga fahk, ‘Mea?’
8 And he said to me, Who art thou? and I said, I am an Amalekite.
Na el siyuk lah su nga uh, na nga fahk lah nga mwet Amalek.
9 And he said to me, Stand, I pray thee, over me, and slay me, for a dreadful darkness has come upon me, for all my life [is] in me.
Na el fahk, ‘Fahsru ac uniyuwi! Nga arulana kineta, ac nga apkuran in misa.’
10 So I stood over him and slew him, because I knew he would not live after he was fallen; and I took the crown that was upon his head, and the bracelet that was upon his arm, and I have brought them hither to my lord.
Ouinge nga kalukyang nu yorol ac unilya, mweyen nga etu lah el ac na misa na el fin putatyang nu fac. Na nga eisla tefuro lal liki sifal, ac mwe naweyuk ke paol, pa nga use nu sum inge.”
11 And David laid hold of his garments, and rent them; and all the men who were with him rent their garments.
David el arulana asor ac seya nuknuk lal, ac mwet lal nukewa oru oapana.
12 And they lamented, and wept, and fasted till evening, for Saul and for Jonathan his son, and for the people of Juda, and for the house of Israel, because they were smitten with the sword.
Elos asor ac tung ac eoksra nwe ke ekela kacl Saul ac Jonathan, oayapa ke Israel, mwet lun LEUM GOD, mweyen arulana pukanten mwet anwuki ke mweun ah.
13 And David said to the young man who brought the tidings to him, Whence art thou? and he said, I am the son of an Amalekite sojourner.
Na David el siyuk sin mwet fusr se su use pweng se inge nu sel, “Kom mwet ya?” El topuk, “Nga mwet Amalek, tusruktu nga muta facl sum uh.”
14 And David said to him, How was it thou wast not afraid to lift thy hand to destroy the anointed of the Lord?
David el siyuk sel, “Kom ku tia sangeng in uniya tokosra se su sulosolla sin LEUM GOD?”
15 And David called one of his young men, and said, Go and fall upon him: and he smote him, and he died.
Na David el pangonma sie mwet lal ac fahk, “Unilya!” Ac mwet sac sringilya mwet Amalek sac, ac el misa.
16 And David said to him, Thy blood [be] upon thine own head; for thy mouth has testified against thee, saying, I have slain the anointed of the Lord.
Ac David el fahk nu sin mwet Amalek sac, “Misa lom ma sum sifacna. Kom sifacna sot mwatum ke kom fahkak lah pwaye kom uniya sie su LEUM GOD El sulela in tokosra.”
17 And David lamented with this lamentation over Saul and over Jonathan his son.
David el onkakin on in eoksra se inge kacl Saul ac Jonathan,
18 And he gave orders to teach it the sons of Juda: behold, it is written in the book of Right.
ac el sapkin in lutiyuk nu sin mwet Judah. (Simla tari in [Book in Jashar].)
19 Set up a pillar, O Israel, for the slain that died upon thy high places: how are the mighty fallen!
“Fin tohktok lun Israel, mwet kol lasr misa we! Mwet mweun pulaiklana lasr elos ikori we!
20 Tell it not in Geth, and tell it not as glad tidings in the streets of Ascalon, lest the daughters of the Philistines rejoice, lest the daughters of the uncircumcised triumph.
Nimet fahkak nu in acn Gath, Ku ke inkanek in Ashkelon. Nimet oru tuh mutan Philistia in pwar; Nimet lela tuh an nutin mwet pegan in enganak.
21 Ye mountains of Gelbue, let not dew no rain descend upon you, nor fields of first-fruits [be upon you], for there the shield of the mighty ones has been grievously assailed; the shield of Saul was not anointed with oil.
“Lela in wangin af ku aunfong putat nu fin tohktok Gilboa; Lela in wangin fokin ima we pacl nukewa! Mwe mwekin se lah mwe loang lun mwet pulaik lasr in oan we; Mwe loang lal Saul tia sifil mosrweyuk.
22 From the blood of the slain, and from the fat of the mighty, the bow of Jonathan returned not empty; and the sword of Saul turned not back empty.
Pisr natul Jonathan uniya mwet lokoalok puspis, Osra natul Saul tia etu pakoten — Sringilya mwet fokoko, ac uniya mwet lokoalok.
23 Saul and Jonathan, the beloved and the beautiful, were not divided: comely [were they] in their life, and in their death they were not divided: [they were] swifter than eagles, and they were stronger than lions.
“Saul ac Jonathan, wolana ac saok; Tukeni ke moul, tukeni ke misa; Mui liki eagle, fokoko liki lion.
24 Daughters of Israel, weep for Saul, who clothed you with scarlet together with your adorning, who added golden ornaments to your apparel.
“Mutan Israel, kowos in mwemelil kacl Saul! El nukumkowosyang ke nuknuk srusra yohk molo, Ac nawekowos ke mwe yun ac gold.
25 How are the mighty fallen in the midst of the battle! O Jonathan, even the slain ones upon thy high places!
“Mwet mweun pulaik ikori tari, Anwuki elos ke mweun. Jonathan el misa oan fin tohktok uh.
26 I am grieved for thee, my brother Jonathan; thou wast very lovely to me; thy love to me was wonderful beyond the love of women.
“Nga arulana asor keim, Jonathan, ma lik; Kom tuh arulana saok sik! Fuka lupan woiyen lungse lom nu sik, Wo liki lungse lun sie mutan.
27 How are the mighty fallen, and the weapons of war perished!
“Mwet mweun pulaik ikori tari, Mwe mweun natulos sisila ac wanginla sripa.”
