2 Samuel 2
1 And it came to pass after this, that David asked counsel of the Lord, saying, Shall I go up into one of the cities of Judah? And the Lord said unto 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, Achino'am the Yizre'elitess, and Abigayil, Nabal's wife, 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 then came the men of Judah, and they anointed there David as king over the house of Judah. And they told David, saying, The men of Yabesh-gil'ad were those that 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 thereupon sent messengers unto the men of Yabesh-gil'ad, and said unto them, Blessed be ye of the Lord, that ye have done this kindness unto your Lord, unto 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 may the Lord deal with you in kindness and truth: and as for me also, I will requite you this good deed, 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 strengthened, and be ye valiant men; for your lord Saul is dead; and also me have the house of Judah anointed as king over them.
Kowos in ku ac pulaik! Saul, tokosra lowos, el misa, ac mwet Judah elos mosrweyula in tokosra lalos.”
8 But Abner, the son of Ner, the captain of the army of Saul, took Ish-bosheth the son of Saul, and brought him over to Machanayim;
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 Gil'ad, and over the Ashurites, and over Yizre'el, 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 Forty years old was Ish-bosheth the son of Saul, when he became king over Israel, and two years he reigned. But 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 number of days 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 there went out Abner the son of Ner, and the servants of Ish-bosheth the son of Saul, from Machanayim to Gib'on.
Abner ac mwet pwapa lal Ishbosheth elos som liki Mahanaim nu in siti Gibeon.
13 And Joab the son of Zeruyah and the servants of David also went out, and they met together by the pool of Gib'on: and they sat down, these on the one side of the pool, and the others 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, Do let the young men rise up and play before us. And Joab said, They may rise up.
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 Then they rose up and went over by number: twelve for Benjamin, and for Ish-bosheth 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 grasped every one his fellow by the head, and thrust his sword in his fellow's side; and they fell down together: wherefore that place was called Chelkath-hazzurim, which is by Gib'on.
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 was exceedingly fierce on that day; and Abner with the men of Israel was beaten, 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 at that place three sons of Zeruyah, Joab, and Abishai, and 'Asahel: and 'Asahel was as fleet of foot as any roe 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 he turned not in going to the right hand or to the left from following Abner.
el ukwal Abner suwosyang tokol.
20 And Abner turned round and said, Art thou 'Asahel? And he answered, 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 for thyself on one of the young men, and take thyself his armor. 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 repeated again to say unto 'Asahel, Turn thee aside from following me: wherefore should I smite thee to the ground? and how should I then lift 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; and Abner smote him with the hinder end of the spear under the fifth rib, so that the spear came out behind him; and he fell down there, and died on the spot: and it came to pass, that all who came to the place where 'Asahel had fallen down and died remained standing 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 But Joab and Abishai pursued after Abner: and the sun went down when they were come to the hill of Ammah, that lieth before Giach on the way to the wilderness of Gib'on.
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 assembled themselves together behind Abner, and formed one solid body, and posted themselves on the top of a certain 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 for everlasting the sword devour? knowest thou not that it will be bitter in the end? and how long shall it be, ere thou wilt bid the people to return from pursuing 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 already in the morning would the people have gone away every one from pursuing 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 So Joab blew the cornet, and all the people remained standing still, and pursued no more after Israel, and they continued no more to fight.
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 through the plain all that night, and they passed over the Jordan, and went through all Bithron, and they came to Machanayim.
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 pursuing Abner; and he gathered all the people together; and there were missed 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 But the servants of David had smitten [many] of Benjamin, and of Abner's men: three hundred and sixty men 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 Beth-lechem. And Joab and his men went all that night, and the day broke on them at Hebron.
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.
