2 Samuel 14
1 Now Joab the son of Zeruiah perceived that the king's heart was toward Absalom.
Joab el etu lah Tokosra David el asor yohk kacl Absalom,
2 And Joab sent to Tekoa, and fetched thence a wise woman, and said unto her: 'I pray thee, feign thyself to be a mourner, and put on mourning apparel, I pray thee, and anoint not thyself with oil, but be as a woman that had a long time mourned for the dead;
ouinge el sapla nu sin sie mutan ma etu nunak su muta in acn Tekoa. Ke mutan sac tuku, Joab el fahk nu sel, “Oru lumom in mu kom asor. Nokomang nuknuk in asor, ac nimet kawiya sifom. Oru oana sie mutan su muta asor pacl na loeloes.
3 and go in to the king, and speak on this manner unto him.' So Joab put the words in her mouth.
Na kom som nu yorol tokosra ac fahk nu sel ma nga ac fahk nu sum uh.” Na Joab el fahkang nu sel ma elan tuh fahk.
4 And when the woman of Tekoa spoke to the king, she fell on her face to the ground, and prostrated herself, and said: 'Help, O king.'
Mutan sac som nu yorol tokosra ac srimi nwe infohk ah in akfulatyal, ac fahk, “O tokosra, kasreyu!”
5 And the king said unto her: 'What aileth thee?' And she answered: 'Of a truth I am a widow, my husband being dead.
Tokosra el siyuk sel, “Mea kom lungse?” Ac mutan sac fahk, “Leum luk, mukul tumuk ah misa, ac inge nga mukaimtalla.
6 And thy handmaid had two sons, and they two strove together in the field, and there was none to part them, but the one smote the other, and killed him.
Tuh oasr wen luo nutik, na sie len ah eltal akukuinla in ima ah, ac wangin mwet in eisaltalelik, na sie seltal uniya ma se ngia.
7 And, behold, the whole family is risen against thy handmaid, and they said: Deliver him that smote his brother, that we may kill him for the life of his brother whom he slew, and so destroy the heir also. Thus will they quench my coal which is left, and will leave to my husband neither name nor remainder upon the face of the earth.'
Ac inge sou luk nukewa ngetla likiyu, ac kwafe ngan sang wen se lula nutik inge nu selos elos in unilya ke sripen el uniya tamulel lal ah. Elos fin oru ma se inge, na ac wanginla wen nutik. Elos ac kunausla finsrak safla se luk, ac oru tuh in wanginla tulik in us inen mukul tumuk ah nwe tok.”
8 And the king said unto the woman: 'Go to thy house, and I will give charge concerning thee.'
Tokosra el topuk, “Folokla nu lohm sum, ac nga ac fah fosrngakin elya sac.”
9 And the woman of Tekoa said unto the king: 'My lord, O king, the iniquity be on me, and on my father's house; and the king and his throne be guiltless.'
Na mutan sac fahk, “Leum luk, kutena ma kom ac oru, nga ac sou luk ac fah eis mwata. Ac fah wangin ma sufal lom ac sou fulat lom kac.”
10 And the king said: 'Whosoever saith aught unto thee, bring him to me, and he shall not touch thee any more.'
Ac tokosra el topuk, “Fin oasr kutena mwet aksangengye kom, kom usalu nu sik, ac el ac fah tia ku in sifilpa aklokoalokye kom.”
11 Then said she: 'I pray thee, let the king remember the LORD thy God, that the avenger of blood destroy not any more, lest they destroy my son.' And he said: 'As the LORD liveth, there shall not one hair of thy son fall to the earth.'
Mutan sac fahk, “Leum luk, nunak munas pre nu sin LEUM GOD lom, tuh mwet se in sou luk su akoeyuk foloksak ke misa lun wen nutik ah in tia akyokye ma koluk lal ke el uniya pac wen se lula nutik inge.” David el topuk, “Nga wulela ke Inen LEUM GOD moul, lah wanginna ma koluk ac fah sun wen nutum an.”
12 Then the woman said: 'Let thy handmaid, I pray thee, speak a word unto my lord the king.' And he said: 'Say on.'
Ac mutan sac sifilpa fahk, “Nunak munas, leum fulat, oasr ma sefanna lula nga lungse fahk nu sum.” Na David el fahk, “Kwal, fahk.”
13 And the woman said: 'Wherefore then hast thou devised such a thing against the people of God? for in speaking this word the king is as one that is guilty, in that the king doth not fetch home again his banished one.
Na mutan sac fahk nu sel, “Efu ku kom orala sie tafongla na yohk nu sin mwet lun God, ke kom tia fuhlela tuh wen nutum sifacna in foloko liki sruoh? Ke ma inge kom sifacna tukakin tafongla lom ke ma kom fahk ingena ah.
14 For we must needs die, and are as water spilt on the ground, which cannot be gathered up again; neither doth God respect any person; but let him devise means, that he that is banished be not an outcast from him.
Kut nukewa ac misa. Kut oana kof kahkla nu fin fohk uh ma tia ku in sifil orekeni. Finne God sifacna, El tia folokonma mwet misa nu ke moul. Tusruktu tokosra se el ku in konauk inkanek in folokonma sie mwet liki sruoh.
15 Now therefore seeing that I am come to speak this word unto my lord the king, it is because the people have made me afraid; and thy handmaid said: I will now speak unto the king; it may be that the king will perform the request of his servant.
Inge, leum fulat, sripa se pwanang nga tuku in sramsram nu sum uh pa ke mwet uh aksangengyeyu. Na pa nga fahk nu sik sifacna mu nga ac sramsram nu sum, mweyen nga finsrak na mu kom ac oru ma nga siyuk sum uh.
16 For the king will hear, to deliver his servant out of the hand of the man that would destroy me and my son together out of the inheritance of God.
Nga tuh etu na lah kom ku in lohng ma nga siyuk, ac moliyula liki sie su srike in uniyuwi ac wen nutik ac siskutla liki facl se su God El sang nu sin mwet lal.
17 Then thy handmaid said: Let, I pray thee, the word of my lord the king be for my comfort; for as an angel of God, so is my lord the king to discern good and bad; and the LORD thy God be with thee.'
Nga nunku sik sifacna mu wulela lom ac oru tuh nga in moul ac tia sensen, mweyen tokosra el oana sie lipufan lun God, su ku in akilen inmasrlon ma wo ac ma koluk. Lela LEUM GOD Elan wi kom!”
18 Then the king answered and said unto the woman: 'Hide not from me, I pray thee, aught that I shall ask thee.' And the woman said: 'Let my lord the king now speak.'
Tokosra el fahk, “Nga ac siyuk kusen siyuk se sum, ac kom fahkma ma na pwaye an.” Ac mutan sac fahk, “Leum luk, kom ku in siyuk ma nukewa kom ke siyuk an.”
19 And the king said: 'Is the hand of Joab with thee in all this?' And the woman answered and said: 'As thy soul liveth, my lord the king, none can turn to the right hand or to the left from aught that my lord the king hath spoken; for thy servant Joab, he bade me, and he put all these words in the mouth of thy handmaid;
Na David el siyuk sel, “Ku Joab pa sap kom in fahk ma ingan uh?” Na el topuk, “Leum luk, nga fulahk ke ma mutal nukewa, lah wangin inkanek nga in ku in kaingkunla mwe siyuk lom an. Ma na pwaye se lah Joab, captain lom an, pa fahk nu sik ma ngan oru ac ma ngan fahk.
20 to change the face of the matter hath thy servant Joab done this thing; and my lord is wise, according to the wisdom of an angel of God, to know all things that are in the earth.'
Tuh el oru in aksuwosyela nufon fohs se inge. Leum fulat luk, kom arulana lalmwetmet oana lipufan lun God, su etu ma nukewa ma sikyak.”
21 And the king said unto Joab: 'Behold now, I have granted this request; go therefore, bring the young man Absalom back.'
Tok kutu, tokosra el fahk nu sel Joab, “Nga sulela mu nga ac oru ma kom lungse an. Fahla ac folokunulma Absalom nu yenu.”
22 And Joab fell to the ground on his face, and prostrated himself, and blessed the king; and Joab said: 'To-day thy servant knoweth that I have found favour in thy sight, my lord, O king, in that the king hath performed the request of thy servant.'
Joab el putati nu infohk uh ye mutal David in akfulatyal, ac fahk, “Leum fulat, God Elan akinsewowoye kom! Inge nga etu lah kom insewowo sik, mweyen kom ase nu sik enenu luk uh.”
23 So Joab arose and went to Geshur, and brought Absalom to Jerusalem.
Na el tuyak ac som nu Geshur, ac usalu Absalom nu Jerusalem.
24 And the king said: 'Let him turn to his own house, but let him not see my face.' So Absalom turned to his own house, and saw not the king's face.
Tusruktu tokosra el fahk mu Absalom elan tia muta inkul sin tokosra. El fahk, “Nga tia lungse liyal.” Ouinge Absalom el muta in lohm sel sifacna, ac tiana sikyak nu ye mutun tokosra.
25 Now in all Israel there was none to be so much praised as Absalom for his beauty; from the sole of his foot even to the crown of his head there was no blemish in him.
Wangin sie mwet in acn Israel nufon pwengpeng ke oasku lal oana Absalom. Wanginna kutu ma koluk ke manol, insifali nwe ke kufinnial.
26 And when he polled his head — now it was at every year's end that he polled it; because the hair was heavy on him, therefore he polled it — he weighed the hair of his head at two hundred shekels, after the king's weight.
Aunsifal matol, ac el muta kalkul pacl se ke yac se ke sripen ac arulana loes ac toasr. Fin pauni ac oasr ke paun limekosr ma, fal nu ke srikasrak lun mwet leum uh.
27 And unto Absalom there were born three sons, and one daughter, whose name was Tamar; she was a woman of a fair countenance.
Oasr wen tolu natul Absalom, ac sie acn pangpang Tamar, su arulana kato.
28 And Absalom dwelt two full years in Jerusalem; and he saw not the kings face.
Absalom el muta Jerusalem yac luo ac el tiana liyal tokosra.
29 Then Absalom sent for Joab, to send him to the king; but he would not come to him; and he sent again a second time, but he would not come.
Na el sapla solal Joab elan som nu yurin tokosra kacl, tuh Joab el tiana tuku. Absalom el sifilpa solal, a Joab el tiana lungse tuku.
30 Therefore he said unto his servants: 'See, Joab's field is near mine, and he hath barley there; go and set it on fire.' And Absalom's servants set the field on fire.
Ke ma inge, Absalom el fahk nu sin mwet kulansap lal, “Liye, ima se lal Joab pa sisken ima luk ah, ac barley pa kapak kac. Fahla esukak.” Na elos som esukak ima sac.
31 Then Joab arose, and came to Absalom unto his house, and said unto him: 'Wherefore have thy servants set my field on fire?'
Joab el som nu lohm sel Absalom, ac siyuk, “Efu ku mwet kulansap lom ah esukak ima luk ah?”
32 And Absalom answered Joab: 'Behold, I sent unto thee, saying: Come hither, that I may send thee to the king, to say: Wherefore am I come from Geshur? it were better for me to be there still; now therefore let me see the king's face; and if there be iniquity in me, let him kill me.'
Na Absalom el fahk, “Mweyen kom tia tuku ke nga sapla suli kom. Nga tuh ke kom in som nu yorol tokosra ac siyuk kas inge keik: ‘Efu ku nga tuh tuyak liki acn Geshur ac tuku nu yenu? Nga funu mutana we lukun wo liki.’” Na Absalom el sifilpa fahk, “Nga ke kom in sakunla in oasr pacl luk yurin tokosra. Fin oasr ma koluk luk, na lela elan uniyuwi.”
33 So Joab came to the king, and told him; and when he had called for Absalom, he came to the king, and bowed himself on his face to the ground before the king; and the king kissed Absalom.
Ouinge Joab el som nu yurin Tokosra David ac fahkang nu sel ma Absalom el fahk ah. Na tokosra el sapla solal Absalom, ac Absalom el som nu yorol ac srimi nwe infohk ah ye mutal. Ac tokosra el paingul ac ngok mutal.
