Kings II 21
1 And there was a famine in the days of David three years, year after year; and David sought the face of the Lord. And the Lord said, [There is] guilt upon Saul and his house because of his bloody murder, whereby he killed the Gabaonites.
In we lal Tokosra David, oasr sracl na upa se, yac tolu lusa. Na David el lolngok nu sin LEUM GOD kac, ac LEUM GOD El fahk, “Oasr mwatal Saul ac sou lal ke akmas. El tuh uniya mwet in acn Gibeon.” (
2 And King David called the Gabaonites, and said to them; —(now the Gabaonites are not the children of Israel, but [are] of the remnant of the Amorite, and the children of Israel had sworn to them: but Saul sought to strike them in his zeal for the children of Israel and Juda.)
Mwet Gibeon elos tia mwet Israel — elos mwet Amor, sie u srisrik su mwet Israel elos tuh wulela mu elos ac karinganulos, tuh pa Saul el tuh srike elan kunauselosla ke sripen moniyuk lal in nunku ke mwet Israel ac mwet Judah.)
3 And David said to the Gabaonites, What shall I do to you? and wherewithal shall I make atonement, that you may bless the inheritance of the Lord?
Na David el solani mwet Gibeon ac fahk nu selos, “Mea nga ku in oru nu suwos? Nga ke akwoyela ma koluk se ma orekla nu suwos, tuh kowos in ku in akinsewowoye mwet lun LEUM GOD.”
4 And the Gabaonites said to him, We have no [question about] silver or gold with Saul and with his house; and there is no man for us to put to death in Israel.
Elos topuk ac fahk, “Amei lasr nu sel Saul ac sou lal ah tia ku in akwoyeyukla ke silver ku gold. Kut tia pac lungse uniya kutena mwet Israel.” Ac David el siyuk, “Na mea kowos nunku mu fal nga in oru nu suwos?”
5 And he said, What say you? speak, and I will do it for you. And they said to the king, The man who would have made an end of us, and persecuted us, who plotted against us to destroy us, let us utterly destroy him, so that he shall have no standing in all the coasts of Israel.
Elos fahk, “Saul el tuh lungse elan kunauskutla ac tia likiya siefanna sesr in moul in facl Israel nufon.
6 Let one give us seven men of his sons, and let us hang them up in the sun to the Lord in Gabaon of Saul, as chosen out for the Lord. And the king said, I will give [them].
Ouinge ase itkosr mukul in sou lal an, tuh kut fah srupsralosyak ye mutun LEUM GOD in acn Gibeah, siti sel Saul, tokosra se sulosolla sin LEUM GOD.” Tokosra el topuk, “Nga ac eisaloswot nu suwos.”
7 But the king spared Memphibosthe son of Jonathan the son of Saul, because of the oath of the Lord that was between them, even between David and Jonathan the son of Saul.
A ke sripen wulela mutal ma el ac Jonathan, wen natul Saul, tuh orala inmasrloltal, David el sruokilyana Mephibosheth, wen natul Jonathan natul Saul, elan tia wi anwuki.
8 And the king took the two sons of Respha the daughter of Aia, whom she bore to Saul, Hermonoi and Memphibosthe, and the five sons of Michol daughter of Saul, whom she bore to Esdriel son of Berzelli the Moulathite.
Na el eisalang Armoni ac Mephibosheth, wen luo su Rizpah acn natul Aiah, el oswela nu sel Saul, oayapa wen limekosr pac natul Merab acn natul Saul, su el oswela nu sel Adriel wen natul Barzillai, sie mwet Meholah.
9 And he gave them into the hand of the Gabaonites, and they hanged them up to the sun in the mountain before the lord: and they fell, even the seven together: moreover they were put to death in the days of harvest at the commencement, in the beginning of barley harvest.
David el eisaltalang nu sin mwet Gibeon, ac elos srupsralosyak fineol ah ye mutun LEUM GOD, ac mwet itkosr inge tukenina misa. Pacl se elos anwuki, apkuran pacl in kosrani barley tukun pacl in mihsrisr.
10 And Respha the daughter of Aia took sackcloth, and fixed it for herself on the rock in the beginning of barley harvest, until water dropped upon them out of heaven: and she did not suffer the birds of the air to rest upon them by day, nor the beasts of the field by night.
Na Rizpah, mutan kulansap kial Saul su acn natul Aiah, el orala kitin lohm nuknuk ke nuknuk yohk eoa, ac muta loac, fin eot se monin mwet misa ah oan we, na el muta in acn sac ke mutaweyen pacl in kosrani ah nwe ke pacl in af tukun pacl in fol. Ke len uh el muta lusla won yen engyeng uh liki mano uh, ac ke fong uh el lusla kosro inima uh lukelos.
11 And it was told David what Respha the daughter of Aia the concubine of Saul had done, [and they were faint, and Dan, the son of Joa of the offspring of the giants overtook them.]
Ke David el lohng ma Rizpah el oru inge,
12 And David went and took the bones of Saul, and the bones of Jonathan his son, from the men of the sons of Jabis Galaad, who stole them from the street of Baethsan; for the Philistines set them there in the day in which the Philistines struck Saul in Gelbue.
el som eis srel Saul ac Jonathan wen natul, liki mwet Jabesh in acn Gilead. (Elos tuh pisrala liki nien toeni lun mwet uh in acn Beth Shan, yen mwet Philistia elos srupusrak mano luo ah we ke len se elos unilya Saul fin Fineol Gilboa.)
13 And he carried up thence the bones of Saul and the bones of Jonathan his son, and gathered the bones of them that had been hanged.
David el us srel Saul ac Jonathan, ac el oayapa orani srin mwet itkosr ma sripsripyak ah.
14 And they buried the bones of Saul and the bones of Jonathan his son, and the bones of them that had been hanged, in the land of Benjamin in the hill, in the sepulchre of Cis his father; and they did all things that the king commanded: and after this God listened to [the prayers of] the land.
Na elos pikinya srel Saul ac Jonathan ke kulyuk lal Kish, papa tumal Saul, in acn Zela in facl lun Benjamin, ac elos oru ma nukewa ma tokosra el sapkin. Tukun ma inge, God El topuk pre lalos ke mutunfacl sac.
15 And there was yet war between the Philistines and Israel: and David went down and his servants with him, and they fought with the Philistines, and David went.
Oasr pac sie mweun lulap inmasrlon mwet Philistia ac mwet Israel, na David ac mwet lal elos som mweuni mwet Philistia. Ke sie sin mweun inge, David el totola.
16 And Jesbi, who was of the progeny of Rapha, and the head of whose spear [was] three hundred shekels of brass in weight, who also was girded with a club, even he thought to strike David.
Sie mwet yohk pisa pangpang Ishbibenob el us osra bronze soko paun itkosr tafu toasriya, ac cutlass sasu se sripsrip manol. El nunku mu el ku in unilya David.
17 And Abessa the son of Saruia helped him and struck the Philistine, and killed him. Then the men of David swore, saying, You shall not any longer go out with us to battle, and you shall not quench the lamp of Israel.
Tusruk Abishai wen natul Zeruiah, el tuku kasrel David. El faksilya mwet yohk pisa sac ac unilya. Na mwet lal David elos fahk nu sel David elan wulela nu selos mu el ac tiana sifilpa welulos illa nu ke mweun. Elos fahk, “Kom pa mwe finsrak lun Israel, ac kut tia lungse kom in wanginla.”
18 And after this there was a battle again with the Philistines in Geth: then Sebocha the Astatothite killed Seph of the progeny of Rapha.
Tukun ma inge oasr pac sie mweun lain mwet Philistia in acn Gob. Ke mweun se inge, Sibbecai mwet Hushah, el uniya sie pac mwet yohk pisa pangpang Saph.
19 And there was a battle in Rom with the Philistines; and Eleanan son of Ariorgim the Bethleemite killed Goliath the Gittite; and the staff of his spear [was] as a weaver's beam.
Na oasr pac sie mweun lain mwet Philistia in acn Gob, ac Elhanan wen natul Jair mwet Bethlehem, el unilya Goliath, mwet Gath. Fungin osra natul Goliath ah yohk oana sak ke mwe otwot nuknuk.
20 And there was yet a battle in Geth: and there was a man of stature, and the fingers of his hands and the toes of his feet [were] six on each, four and twenty in number: and he also was born to Rapha.
Ac oasr pac sie mweun orek Gath, acn se oasr sie mwet yohk pisa muta we su lungsena anwuk. Oasr kufinpo onkosr ke paol kewa, ac kufinne onkosr ke nial kewa.
21 And he defied Israel, and Jonathan son of Semei brother of David, struck him.
El funmwet nu sin mwet Israel, ac Jonathan wen natul Shammah, tamulel lal David, el unilya.
22 These four were born descendants of the giants in Geth, the family of Rapha; and they fell by the hand of David, and by the hand of his servants.
Mwet lulap akosr inge elos ma nutin mwet yohk pisa lun acn Gath, ac elos anwuki sel David ac mwet lal.
