2 Samuel 3
1 And the war lasted a long time between the house of Saul and the house of David; but David became continually stronger and stronger, and the house of Saul became continually weaker and weaker.
Arulana paht mweun se inmasrlon mwet mweun kasreyen sou lal Saul ac mwet mweun kasreyal David. In pacl se inge ku lal David yokyokelik, a ku lun mwet lainul sriksrikeni.
2 And there were born unto David sons in Hebron: and his first-born was Amnon, of Achino'am the Yizre'elitess;
Wen onkosr natul David inge takla ke matwalos, elos isusla in acn Hebron: Amnon — nina kial pa Ahinoam, mutan Jezreel;
3 And his second was Kilab, of Abigayil the wife of Nabal the Carmelite; and the third, Abshalom, the son of Ma'achah the daughter of Talmai the king of Geshur;
Chileab — nina kial pa Abigail, mutan Carmel katinmas kial Nabal; Absalom — nina kial pa Maacah, acn natul Talmai, tokosra lun Geshur;
4 And the fourth, Adoniyah, the son of Chaggith; and the fifth, Shephatyah, the son of Abital;
Adonijah — nina kial pa Haggith; Shephatiah — nina kial pa Abital;
5 And the sixth, Yithre'am, by 'Eglah, David's wife. These were born to David in Hebron.
Ithream — nina kial pa Eglah. Wen natul inge kewa isusla in acn Hebron.
6 And it came to pass, while the war lasted between the house of Saul and the house of David, that Abner upheld with all his strength the house of Saul.
Ke mweun uh srakna orek inmasrlon mwet mweun lal David ac mwet mweun kasreyen sou lal Saul, Abner el kui na kui inmasrlon mwet mweun lal Saul.
7 And Saul had a concubine, whose name was Rizpah, the daughter of Ayah: and Ish-bosheth said to Abner, Wherefore hast thou gone in unto my father's concubine?
Sie len ah, Ishbosheth wen natul Saul, el akkolukyal Abner fahk mu el motul yorol Rizpah, mutan kulansap kial Saul, su acn natul Aiah.
8 And Abner became very wroth because of the words of Ish-bosheth, and said, Am I the chief of the dogs which belong to Judah? unto this day have I shown kindness unto the house of Saul thy father, to his brothers, and to his friends, and have not delivered thee into the hand of David; and yet thou chargest me today with a wrong committed with this woman?
Ma se inge oru Abner el kasrkusrak ac fahk, “Ku kom nunku mu nga ku in oru koluk nu sel Saul? Mea pwaye lah kom pangon mu nga kulansupu mwet Judah? Oemeet me nga nuna pwayena nu sel Saul, papa tomom, oayapa mwet wial ac kawuk lal, ac nga pa pwanang kom tia kutangyukla sel David. A misenge kom akkolukyeyu ke sripen mutan se?
9 May God do so to Abner, and continue to do yet more to him, that, as the Lord hath sworn to David, even so will I surely do to him;
Lela God Elan sringilyuwi ngan misa, nga fin tia akpwayeye ma nga fahk inge: nga fah oru oana wulela lun LEUM GOD nu sel David,
10 To transfer the kingdom from the house of Saul, and to establish the throne of David over Israel and over Judah, from Dan even to Beer-sheba'.
in eisla tokosrai lukel Saul ac fita lal, ac sang nu sel David tuh elan tokosra fin acn Israel ac Judah, mutawauk e Dan nu epang fahla nwe Beersheba nu eir!”
11 And he could not answer Abner a word more in reply, because of his fear of him.
Ishbosheth el arulana sangeng sel Abner, oru el tia ku in fahkla sie kas.
12 And Abner sent messengers to David on his behalf, saying, Whose is the land? saying [also, ] Make thy covenant with me, and, behold, my hand shall be with thee, to bring round unto thee all Israel.
Abner el supwala mwet utuk kas nu yorol David, su muta Hebron in pacl sac, tuh elos in siyuk, “Su ac leumi facl se inge uh? Kom fin orala sie wulela nu sik, na nga ac fah kasrekom eisla acn Israel nufon lom.”
13 And he said, Well: I will indeed make a covenant with thee; but one thing I require of thee, namely, Thou shalt not see my face, except thou first bring Michal, Saul's daughter, when thou comest to see my face.
David el fahk, “Wona. Nga ac orala sie wulela nu sum kom fin orala ma se inge: usalu Michal, acn natul Saul, ke kom ac tuku.”
14 And David sent messengers to Ish-bosheth, the son of Saul, saying, Give up to me my wife Michal, whom I espoused to me for a hundred foreskins of the Philistines.
Ac David el oayapa supwala mwet utuk kas nu yorol Ishbosheth ac fahk, “Folokunulma Michal, mutan kiuk. Nga molella tari ke siofok kulun ma mukul lun mwet Philistia, tuh elan mutan kiuk.”
15 And Ish-bosheth sent, and took her from the man, from Paltiel the son of Layish.
Na Ishbosheth el sap utuku mutan sac lukel Paltiel, mukul tumal, wen natul Laish.
16 And her husband went with her going along and weeping behind her as far as Bachurim: when Abner said unto him, Go, return. And he returned.
Paltiel el fahsr na tung tokol nwe ke siti srisrik Bahurim. Tusruktu ke Abner el sap elan folokla, na Paltiel el folokla.
17 And Abner had used these words with the elders of Israel, saying, Already yesterday and even before ye have been desiring David as king over you:
Abner el som nu yurin mwet kol lun Israel ac fahk nu selos, “Kowos tuh kena David elan tokosra lowos ke pacl na loes.
18 And now do it; for the Lord hath said of David thus, By the hand of my servant David will I save my people Israel out of the hand of the Philistines, and out of the hand of all their enemies.
Inge pacl wo lowos. Esam lah LEUM GOD El tuh fahk, ‘Nga ac orekmakunul David, mwet kulansap luk, tuh elan molela mwet luk Israel liki mwet Philistia ac liki mwet lokoalok lalos saya nukewa.’”
19 And Abner also spoke in the ears of Benjamin; and Abner went also to speak in the ears of David in Hebron all that seemed good in the eyes of Israel, and in the eyes of the whole house of Benjamin.
Abner el kaskas pac nu sin mwet in sruf lal Benjamin, na el som nu Hebron in fahkang nu sel David ma mwet in sruf lal Benjamin ac mwet Israel insesela in oru.
20 And Abner came to David to Hebron, and with him were twenty men; and David made for Abner and for the men that were with him a feast.
Ke Abner el tuku nu yorol David in acn Hebron wi mwet longoul, David el orala kufwa se nu selos.
21 And Abner said unto David, I will now arise and go, and I will assemble unto my Lord the king all Israel, that they may make a covenant with thee, and that thou mayest reign over all that thy soul longeth for. And David dismissed Abner: and he went in peace.
Abner el fahk nu sel David, “Leuwa, inge nga ac som ac eisani mwet Israel nukewa in mwet lom. Elos ac fah eis kom in tokosra lalos, na kom ac fah leum fin mutunfacl sac nufon, fal nu ke lungse lom.” David el wulela na ku nu sel Abner lah el ac muta in misla, na el supwalla inkanek lal.
22 And, behold, the servants of David and Joab came from a predatory excursion, and brought in much booty with them; but Abner was no more with David in Hebron; for he had dismissed him, and he was gone in peace.
Tok, Joab ac mwet pwapa saya lal David elos folokla liki mweun, ac elos us ma wap pukanten welulos. Tusruktu Abner el tila muta Hebron yorol David, mweyen David el supwalla wi sie wulela ke misla.
23 When Joab and all the army that was with him were come, they told Joab, saying, Abner the son of Ner came to the king, and he hath dismissed him, and he is gone in peace.
Ke Joab ac mwet lal ah sun acn we, fwackyang nu sel lah Abner el tuku nu yorol Tokosra David, ac supweyukla el tari, wi wulela ke misla.
24 Then came Joab to the king, and said, What hast thou done? behold, Abner came unto thee: why is it that thou hast dismissed him, that he went freely away?
Ouinge Joab el som nu yurin tokosra ac siyuk sel, “Mea se kom orala uh? Abner el tuku nu yurum, ac efu ku kom fuhlella elan som?
25 Thou knowest Abner the son of Ner, that to deceive thee did he come, and to know thy going out and thy coming in, and to know all that thou art doing.
Nga lulalfongi lah kom etu na lah el tuku in na kiapwekom, ac in etu ke ma nukewa kom oru uh ac yen nukewa kom fahsr nu we!”
26 And Joab went out from David, and he sent messengers after Abner, who brought him back from the well of Sirah; but David knew it not.
Tukun Joab el som lukel David, el supwala mwet in tuh usalu Abner, ac elos folokunulma liki luf in Kof Sirah. Tusruktu David el tia etu kac.
27 And when Abner was returned to Hebron, Joab took him aside in the gate to speak with him in private; and he smote him there under the fifth rib, and he died, for the blood of 'Asahel his brother.
Ke Abner el sun acn Hebron, Joab el kololla nu sisken mutunpot lun siti sac oana elan ke sramsram lukma nu sel. Na Joab el fakisya insial Abner. Ouinge akmuseyuki Abner mweyen el tuh unilya Asahel, tamulel lal Joab.
28 And when David heard it afterward, he said, I and my kingdom are guiltless before the Lord for ever of the blood of Abner the son of Ner:
Ke David el lohngak pweng sac, el fahk, “LEUM GOD El etu lah wangin mwetik ac mwet luk ke misa lal Abner.
29 May it rest on the head of Joab, and on all his father's house; and may there not fail from the house of Joab one that hath an issue, or that is a leper, or that leaneth on a crutch, or that falleth by the sword, or that lacketh bread.
Lela tuh folokinyen ma koluk se inge in oan facl Joab ac sou lal nufon. Lela in oasr mukul se in fwil nukewa in sou lal weak mas koluk, ku musen leper, ku elahn mutan, ku misa ke mweun, ku sufal mongo nal.”
30 But Joab and Abishai his brother slew Abner, because he had killed their brother 'Asahel at Gib'on in the battle.
Ouinge Joab ac Abishai tamulel lal, eltal foloksak ac unilya Abner ke sripen el tuh unilya Asahel tamulel se laltal, ke mweun in acn Gibeon.
31 And David said to Joab, and to all the people that were with him, Rend your clothes, and gird yourselves with sackcloth, and [go] mourning before Abner. And king David walked behind the bier.
Na David el sap Joab ac mwet lal ah in salik nuknuk lalos, ac nokomang nuknuk yohk eoa in akkalemye asor lalos kacl Abner. Ke pacl in pukmas, Tokosra David sifacna el fahsr tukun box in mas sac.
32 And they buried Abner in Hebron: and the king lifted up his voice, and wept at the grave of Abner; and all the people wept.
Abner el pukpuki Hebron, ac tokosra el tung ke pusra lulap ke kulyuk ah, ac mwet nukewa wi pac tung.
33 And the king lamented over Abner, and said, O, that Abner had to die, as the worthless dieth!
David el onkin on in eoksra soko inge kacl Abner: “Efu ku Abner elan misa oana mwet lalfon se?
34 Thy hands were not bound, and thy feet were not put into fetters: as one falleth before men of wickedness art thou fallen. And all the people wept again over him.
Paol tia kapiri, Ac nial tiana losyukeni. El misa oana misa lun sie mwet anwuki sin mwet koluk!” Na mwet uh sifilpa tung kacl.
35 And all the people came to cause David to eat food while it was yet day; but David swore, saying, So do God to me, and thus may he continue, if before the sun be down I taste bread, or the least else.
In len sac nufon, mwet uh srike in oru David elan kangla kutu mongo, tuh el na orala sie wulela na ku mu, “Lela Leum God Elan sringilyuwi ngan misa nga fin kangla kutena ma meet liki fongeni!”
36 And all the people took notice of it, and it was pleasing in their eyes: as whatsoever the king did was pleasing in the eyes of all the people.
Ke mwet uh elos liye ma inge elos insewowo kac. Aok, ma nukewa tokosra el oru, mwet uh insewowo kac.
37 And all the people and all Israel understood on that day that it had not been of the king to slay Abner the son of Ner.
Mwet lal David nukewa ac mwet Israel nukewa kalem kac lah wangin ip lal Tokosra David ke misa lal Abner.
38 And the king said unto his servants, Know ye not that a prince and a great man hath fallen this day in Israel?
Ac tokosra el fahk nu sin mwet pwapa lal, “Mea, kowos tia akilen lah sie mwet kol fulat lun Israel el misa misenge?
39 And I am this day yet weak, and just anointed king; and these men, the sons of Zeruyah, are too strong for me: may the Lord pay the doer of evil according to his wickedness.
Nga finne tokosra su sulosolla sin Leum God, tuh nga pulakin munas misenge. Wen ekasr natul Zeruiah inge upala lokoalok lalos in nunak luk. Lela LEUM GOD Elan kalyaelos fal nu ke orekma koluk elos oru inge!”
