2 Samuel 2
1 And it came to pass after this that David inquired of Jehovah, saying, Shall I go up into one of the cities of Judah? And Jehovah said to him, Go up. And David said, Whither shall I go up? And he said, Unto Hebron.
Tukun ma inge, David el lolngok nu sin LEUM GOD, “Ku nga ac som sruokya sie siti in acn Judah?” LEUM GOD El topuk, “Aok.” David el siyuk, “Acn ya se?” LEUM GOD El fahk, “Hebron.”
2 So David went up thither, and his two wives also, Ahinoam the Jizreelitess, and Abigail the wife of Nabal the Carmelite.
Ouinge David el som nu Hebron, ac el us mutan luo kial: Ahinoam sie mutan Jezreel, ac Abigail sie mutan Carmel su katinmas kial Nabal.
3 And his men that were with him did David bring up, every man with his household; and they dwelt in the cities of Hebron.
El oayapa us mwet lal wi sou lalos, ac elos muta ke siti srisrik raunela acn Hebron.
4 And the men of Judah came, and there they anointed David king over the house of Judah. And they told David, saying, It is the men of Jabesh-Gilead that have buried Saul.
Na mwet Judah elos tuku nu Hebron ac mosrwella David elan tokosra lun Judah. Ke David el lohng lah mwet Jabesh in Gilead elos piknilya Saul,
5 And David sent messengers to the men of Jabesh-Gilead, and said to them, Blessed be ye of Jehovah, that ye have shewn this kindness to your lord, to Saul, and have buried him!
el supwala kutu mwet nu we wi kas inge: “Lela LEUM GOD Elan akinsewowoye kowos ke kowos akkalemye nunak pwaye lowos nu sin tokosra lowos ac piknilya.
6 And now Jehovah shew kindness and faithfulness to you; and I also will requite you this good, because ye have done this thing.
Ac inge lela LEUM GOD Elan kulang ac oaru in liyekowosyang. Nga pac, nga fah oru wo nu suwos ke sripen ma kowos oru inge.
7 And now let your hands be strong, and be ye valiant; for your master Saul is dead, and also the house of Judah have anointed me king over them.
Kowos in ku ac pulaik! Saul, tokosra lowos, el misa, ac mwet Judah elos mosrweyula in tokosra lalos.”
8 And Abner the son of Ner, captain of Saul's host, took Ishbosheth the son of Saul, and brought him over to Mahanaim;
Abner wen natul Ner, su captain lun un mwet mweun lal Saul, el eisal Ishbosheth wen natul Saul, ac kaingla tupalla Infacl Jordan nu Mahanaim.
9 and made him king over Gilead, and over the Asshurites, and over Jizreel, and over Ephraim, and over Benjamin, and over all Israel.
In acn se inge Abner el orala Ishbosheth elan tokosra lun acn Gilead, Asher, Jezreel, Ephraim, ac Benjamin — aok lun Israel nufon.
10 Ishbosheth Saul's son was forty years old when he began to reign over Israel, and he reigned two years. However, the house of Judah followed David.
Ishbosheth el yac angngaul ke pacl se el tokosrala lun Israel, ac el leum faclos ke yac luo. A sruf lun Judah srakna orekma nu sel David,
11 And the time that David was king in Hebron over the house of Judah was seven years and six months.
ac el leum in acn Hebron fin mwet Judah ke yac itkosr tafu.
12 And Abner the son of Ner, and the servants of Ishbosheth the son of Saul, went out from Mahanaim to Gibeon.
Abner ac mwet pwapa lal Ishbosheth elos som liki Mahanaim nu in siti Gibeon.
13 And Joab the son of Zeruiah, and the servants of David, went out. And they met together by the pool of Gibeon; and they sat down, these on the one side of the pool, and those on the other side of the pool.
Joab, su nina kial ah pa Zeruiah, ac mwet pwapa saya lal David elos osun nu selos ke lulu in kof in acn Gibeon. Elos nukewa muta in acn sac — sie u ah muta ke la lulu sac, ac u se ngia muta ke layen ngia.
14 And Abner said to Joab, Let the young men now arise and make sport before us. And Joab said, Let them arise.
Na Abner el fahk nu sel Joab, “Kut srukak kutu mwet fusr ke u luo inge elos in akutun anwuk.” Joab el fahk, “Wona.”
15 And they arose and went over by number, twelve for Benjamin, and for Ishbosheth the son of Saul, and twelve of the servants of David.
Ouinge mwet singoul luo sin mwet lal Ishbosheth ac sruf lal Benjamin, elos lain mwet singoul luo sin mwet lal David.
16 And they caught every one his fellow by the head, and [thrust] his sword in his fellow's side, and they fell down together. And that place was called Helkath-hazzurim, which is by Gibeon.
Kais sie mwet sruokya mwet se lainul ke sifal, ac kaskeang cutlass natul ah nu in pupal. Ouinge mwet longoul akosr ah nufon putatla misa. Na pa pangpang acn se inge in acn Gibeon “Ima in Cutlass.”
17 And the battle that day was very severe; and Abner and the men of Israel were routed before the servants of David.
Na mweun na upa se srola, ac David ac mwet lal elos kutangulla Abner ac mwet Israel.
18 And there were three sons of Zeruiah there, Joab, and Abishai, and Asahel. Now Asahel was swift of foot, as one of the gazelles that are in the field.
Wen tolu natul Zeruiah oasr kac: Joab, Abishai, ac Asahel. Asahel, su kasrusr mui oana deer inima soko,
19 And Asahel pursued after Abner; and in going he turned not to the right hand nor to the left from behind Abner.
el ukwal Abner suwosyang tokol.
20 Then Abner looked behind him, and said, Art thou Asahel? And he said, I am.
Abner el tapulla siyuk, “Asahel, ya kom pa ingan?” El topuk, “Aok, nga.”
21 And Abner said to him, Turn thee aside, to thy right hand or to thy left, and lay hold of one of the young men, and take for thyself his armour. But Asahel would not turn aside from following him.
Na Abner el fahk, “Nimet ukweyu! Ukwe na sie mwet mweun saya an ac eisla ma el us an.” A Asahel el ukwal na.
22 And Abner said again to Asahel, Turn thee aside from following me: why should I smite thee to the ground? how then should I hold up my face to Joab thy brother?
Na Abner el sifil fahk nu sel, “Tui! Nimet ukweyu! Kom ku oru ngan unikomi? Nga ac ngetnget fuka nu sel Joab, ma lim?”
23 But he refused to turn aside; therefore Abner with the hinder end of the spear smote him in the belly, so that the spear came out behind him; and he fell down there, and died in the same place. And it came to pass, that as many as came to the place where Asahel fell down and died stood still.
Tuh Asahel el tiana tui. Na Abner el fakfuk nu tok ac fakisya insial Asahel, ac osra soko ah sasla fintokol. Asahel el putatla nu infohk uh ac misa. Ac mwet nukewa su tuku nu yen se el oan we ah elos tui in acn sac.
24 And Joab and Abishai pursued after Abner; and the sun went down when they came to the hill of Ammah, which is before Giah on the way to the wilderness of Gibeon.
Na Joab ac Abishai eltal mutawauk ukwal Abner, ac ke faht uh tili eltal sun fineol srisrik Ammah, su oan nu kutulap in acn Giah ke inkanek nu yen mwesis lun Gibeon.
25 And the children of Benjamin gathered themselves together after Abner, and became one troop, and stood on the top of a hill.
Mwet in sruf lal Benjamin sifilpa fahsreni in welul Abner, ac elos tu na akola fin eol soko.
26 And Abner called to Joab, and said, Shall the sword devour for ever? knowest thou not that it will be bitterness in the latter end? and how long shall it be ere thou bid the people return from following their brethren?
Na Abner el pangla nu yorol Joab ac fahk, “Ku kut ac kollana mweun lasr uh nwe ngac? Mea, kom tia akilen lah saflaiya uh kut ac arulana asrungai? Kut mutunfacl sefanna. Kut ac soano nwe ngac kom in sap mwet lom an in tui tila ukwe kut?”
27 And Joab said, [As] God liveth, unless thou hadst spoken, surely then in the morning the people had gone up every one from following his brother.
Ac Joab el fahk, “Nga fulahk Inen God moul, lah kom funu tia kasla, mwet luk uh lukun ukwe kowos na nwe lututang.”
28 And Joab blew the trumpet, and all the people stood still, and pursued after Israel no more, neither did they fight any more.
Na Joab el ukya mwe ukuk tuh mwet lal ah in tui ac tila ukwe mwet Israel ah. Ouinge mweun sac tui.
29 And Abner and his men walked all that night through the plain, and passed over the Jordan, and went through all Bithron, and they came to Mahanaim.
Abner ac mwet lal elos fahsr sasla Infahlfal Jordan in fong fon sac. Elos tupalla Infacl Jordan, ac tukun fahsr lalos in lotu se tok ah nufon, elos sun acn Mahanaim.
30 And Joab returned from following Abner, and gathered all the people together; and there lacked of David's servants nineteen men, and Asahel.
Ke Joab el tulokinya mwet lal ah, el konauk tuh na mwet singoul eu wanginla, sayal Asahel.
31 And the servants of David had smitten of Benjamin, and of Abner's men, three hundred and sixty men, who had died.
Mwet lal David uniya mwet tolfoko onngoul sin mwet lal Abner ke sruf lal Benjamin.
32 And they took up Asahel, and buried him in the sepulchre of his father, which was in Bethlehem. And Joab and his men went all night, and they came to Hebron at break of day.
Joab ac mwet lal elos us manol Asahel ac pikinya inkulyuk lun sou lal ah in acn Bethlehem. Na elos fahsr in fong sac nufon nwe sun acn Hebron in lotu tok ah.
