< 2 Samuel 16 >

1 And when David was passed a little beyond the top [of the mount], behold, Ziba the servant of Mephibosheth came toward him, with a couple of asses saddled, and upon them two hundred loaves of bread, and a hundred bunches of raisins, and a hundred [cakes] of dried figs, and a bottle of wine.
Ke David el fahsr sasla mangon tohktok uh, el sa na sonol Ziba, mwet kulansap lal Mephibosheth. Ziba el us donkey lukwa nwanala fintokoltal ke bread luofoko, tun in raisin siofok, ung in fokinsak siofok, ac sie pak orekla ke kulun kosro sessesla ke wain.
2 And the king said unto Ziba, What meanest thou with these? And Ziba said, The asses are for the king's household to ride on; and the bread and the dried figs for the young men to eat; and the wine to drink for such as may be faint in the wilderness.
Tokosra David el siyuk sel, “Mea kom ac oru ke ma ingan uh?” Ziba el fahk, “Leum luk, donkey inge ma kom ac sou lom an in kasrusr fac, na bread ac fokinsak inge ma mwet uh in kang, ac wain uh ma elos in nim ke elos ac totola yen mwesis.”
3 And the king said, And where is thy master's son? And Ziba said unto the king, Behold, he remaineth at Jerusalem; for he said, Today will the house of Israel restore unto me the kingdom of my father.
Na tokosra el siyuk sel, “El aya Mephibosheth, wen se nutin natul Saul, leum lom?” Ac Ziba el fahk, “El muta oasr Jerusalem, mweyen oasr lulalfongi lal mu inge mwet Israel elos ac folokonang nu sel tokosrai lal Saul, papa matu tumal.”
4 Then said the king to Ziba, Behold, thine shall be all that pertaineth unto Mephibosheth. And Ziba said, I prostrate myself; let me but find grace in thy eyes, my Lord, O king.
Tokosra el fahk nu sel Ziba, “Ma nukewa su ma lal Mephibosheth, inge ma lom.” Ac Ziba el fahk, “Nga mwet kulansap lom, leum fulat luk, ac nga finsrak nga in akinsewowoye kom in pacl nukewa!”
5 And when King David came as far as Bachurim, behold, there came out thence a man of the family of the house of Saul, whose name was Shim'i, the son of Gera, coming forth, and cursing.
Ke Tokosra David el sun acn Bahurim, sie mwet in sou lal Saul, su inel Shimei wen natul Gera, el illa in osun nu sel. El selngawel David ke el fahsr.
6 And he cast stones at David, and at all the servants of king David: and all the people and all the mighty men were on his right and on his left.
Shimei el mutawauk tanglal David ac mwet pwapa lal ah, David el ne kuhlusyukla ke mwet lal ac mwet mweun karinginyal.
7 And thus said Shim'i as he cursed, Away, away, thou man of blood, and thou worthless man!
Shimei el selngawel ac fahk, “Tiok! Fahsrot! Kom mwet akmas! Kom mwet koluk!
8 The Lord hath brought back upon thee all the blood of the house of Saul, in whose stead thou didst reign; and the Lord hath placed the kingdom into the hand of Abshalom thy son; and, behold, thou art now in thy misfortune, because a man of blood art thou.
Kom eisla tokosrai lal Saul, ac inge LEUM GOD El kai kom mweyen kom uniya mwet pukanten in sou lal Saul. LEUM GOD El sang tokosrai nu sel Absalom, wen nutum. Inge wanginla sripom, mweyen kom sie mwet akmas!”
9 Then said Abishai the son of Zeruyah unto the king, Why should this dead dog curse my Lord the king? let me go over, I pray thee, and remove his head.
Abishai, su nina kial pa Zeruiah, el fahk nu sel tokosra, “Leum luk, efu kom ku lela kosro ngalngul soko ingan in selngawi kom? Lela ngan fahla pakela sifal!”
10 And the king said, What have I to do with you, ye sons of Zeruyah? so let him curse; because the Lord hath said unto him, Curse David. Who shall then say, Wherefore hast thou done so?
Tokosra el fahk nu sel Abishai ac Joab, tamulel lal, “Wangin ma lomtal ke ma se inge. El fin selngawiyu mweyen LEUM GOD El sap elan oru, na su ku in siyuk lah efu ku el oru?”
11 And David said to Abishai, and to all his servants, Behold, my son, who hath come forth out of my own body, seeketh my life: how much more now this Benjamite? let him alone, and let him curse; for the Lord hath said it to him.
Ac David el fahk nu sel Abishai ac mwet pwapa nukewa lal, “Wen nutik sifacna el srike elan uniyuwi, na efu kowos ku lut ke mwet Benjamin se inge? LEUM GOD El fahk tuh elan selnga, na pa lela elan oru.
12 Perhaps the Lord will look on my affliction, and the Lord will requite me good instead of his cursing this day.
Sahp LEUM GOD El ac liye keok luk, ac ase kutu mwe insewowo in sang aol kas in selnga lal uh.”
13 And David and his men went [thus] on the way. And Shim'i went on the side of the mount opposite to him, and cursed as he went, and threw stones toward him, and cast dust.
Ouinge David ac mwet lal elos sifil fahsr inkanek lalos. Shimei el ukwalos na fahsr, tuh el ut pe eol uh. El fahsr na selngawelos ac tanglalos ke eot ac fohk.
14 And the king, and all the people that were with him, arrived weary, and refreshed themselves there.
Tokosra ac mwet lal nukewa arulana totola ke elos sun Infacl Jordan, na elos mongla we.
15 And Abshalom, and all the people the men of Israel, came to Jerusalem, and Achithophel [also] with him.
Absalom ac mwet Israel nukewa ma welul elos utyak nu Jerusalem, ac Ahithophel el welulos.
16 And it came to pass, when Chushai the Arkite, David's friend, was come unto Abshalom, that Chushai said unto Abshalom, Long live the king! Long live the king!
Ke Hushai, kawuk se su David el lulalfongi, el osun nu sel Absalom, el wowoyak ac fahk, “In paht moul lal tokosra! In paht moul lal tokosra!”
17 And Abshalom said to Chushai, Is this thy kindness for thy friend? why art thou not gone with thy friend?
Na Absalom el siyuk sel, “Mea sis kom tila insese nu sel David, mwet kawuk lom? Efu ku kom tia welul?”
18 And Chushai said unto Abshalom, No; but whom the Lord, and this people, and all the men of Israel have chosen, his will I be, and with him will I remain.
Hushai el topuk, “Nga ac welul fuka? Nga ac wi na mwet se su suleyukla sin LEUM GOD ac sin mwet inge ac mwet Israel nukewa. Nga ac wi kom na.
19 And secondly, who is it whom I shall serve? is it not in the presence of his son? as I have served in thy father's presence, so will I be in thy presence.
Ku su win ngan orekma nu se, fin tia wen nutin leum luk uh? Inge, nga fah kulansupwekom oana nga tuh kulansupu papa tomom meet.”
20 Then said Abshalom to Achithophel, Hold counsel among yourselves as to what we shall do.
Na Absalom el forang nu sel Ahithophel ac siyuk sel, “Inge ke kut sun acn inge, mea kom nunku mu fal kut in oru?”
21 And Achithophel said unto Abshalom, Go in unto thy father's concubines, whom he hath left to guard the house; and all Israel will hear that thou art in bad odor with thy father: and then will the hands of all that are with thee become strong.
Na Ahithophel el fahk, “Fahla orek kosro nu sin mutan kulansap kien papa tomom, su el tuh filiya in liyaung lohm sin tokosra. Na mwet Israel nukewa ac fah etu lah papa tomom el nunku keim oana sie mwet lokoalok lal, ac ma se inge ac fah arulana akkeye insien mwet su fahsr tukum inge.”
22 So they spread for Abshalom a tent upon the roof; and Abshalom went in unto his father's concubines before the eyes of all Israel.
Ouinge elos tulokunak sie lohm nuknuk nu sel Absalom fin lohm sin tokosra. Na mwet nukewa liye na ke Absalom el utyak ac orek kosro nu sin mutan kulansap kien papa tumal ah.
23 And the counsel of Achithophel, which he counseled in those days, was as if a man had asked advice of the word of God: so was all the counsel of Achithophel both with David and with Abshalom.
Kas in kasru nukewa su tuku sel Ahithophel in len ingo, mwet uh insese nu kac oana in ma tuku sin God me. David ac Absalom eltal tukeni na fahsr kac.
