2 Samuel 10
1 And it comes to pass afterward, that the king of the sons of Ammon dies, and his son Hanun reigns in his stead,
Kutu pacl tok, Tokosra Nahash lun Ammon el misa, ac Hanun wen natul, el tokosrala.
2 and David says, “I do kindness with Hanun son of Nahash, as his father did kindness with me”; and David sends to comfort him by the hand of his servants concerning his father, and the servants of David come into the land of the sons of Ammon.
Tokosra David el fahk, “Nga enenu in akkalemye nunak in kawuk pwaye luk nu sel Hanun, oana ke Nahash papa tumal, el tuh oru nu sik.” Ouinge David el supwala mwet utuk kas in fahkak nunak in pakomuta lal ke misa papa tumal ah. Ke elos sun acn Ammon,
3 And the heads of the sons of Ammon say to their lord Hanun, “Is David honoring your father in your eyes because he has sent comforters to you? For has David not sent his servants to you to search the city, and to spy it, and to overthrow it?”
mwet kol lun mwet Ammon elos fahk nu sin tokosra, “Ku kom nunku mu David el akfulatye papa tomom, pa sis el supwama mwet inge in fahkak kas in pakomuta lal nu sum? Sutuu na sutuu! El supwaltalma in tuh tuni siti uh, elan mau ku in eisla sesr!”
4 And Hanun takes the servants of David, and shaves off the half of their beard, and cuts off their long robes in the midst—to their buttocks, and sends them away;
Na Hanun el sruokya mwet utuk kas lal David, ac resaela alut lalos, ac wotela nuknuk lalos ah ke finyepalos, ac supwalosla.
5 and they declare [it] to David, and he sends to meet them, for the men have been greatly ashamed, and the king says, “Abide in Jericho until your beard springs up—then you have returned.”
Elos arulana mwekin in folokla nu yen selos. Ke David el lohng ke ma sikyak ah, el sapla nu yorolos tuh elos in mutana Jericho ac tia foloko nwe ke alut lalos ah kapak.
6 And the sons of Ammon see that they have been abhorred by David, and the sons of Ammon send and hire Aram of Beth-Rehob, and Aram of Zoba, twenty thousand footmen, and the king of Maacah [with] one thousand men, and Ish-Tob [with] twelve thousand men;
Ke mwet Ammon elos akilen lah elos sifacna oru tuh David elan mwet lokoalokla lalos, na elos som moli longoul tausin mwet mweun Syria in acn Bethrehob ac Zobah, ac singoul luo tausin mwet Tob, oayapa tokosra lun Maacah wi sie tausin mwet.
7 and David hears, and sends Joab, and all the host—the mighty men.
David el lohngak, na el supwalla Joab ac un mwet mweun lal nukewa.
8 And the sons of Ammon come out, and set in array [for] battle, at the opening of the gate, and Aram of Zoba, and Rehob, and Ish-Tob, and Maacah, [are] by themselves in the field;
Mwet Ammon elos fahsr som nu ke nien utyak nu Rabbah, siti fulat lalos, ac tu na akola we. Mwet nukewa saya — mwet Syria, mwet Tob, ac mwet Maacah — elos som nu yen turangang ac akola pac in mweun we.
9 and Joab sees that the front of the battle has been to him before and behind, and he chooses [out] of all the chosen in Israel, and sets in array to meet Aram,
Joab el liye tuh mwet lokoalok lalos ac mweunelos meet ah me ac tokolos me. Ouinge el sulela mwet ma wo emeet ke mweun sin mwet Israel, ac oakelosi in lain mwet Syria.
10 and he has given the rest of the people into the hand of his brother Abishai, and sets in array to meet the sons of Ammon.
Ac el sang Abishai, tamulel lal, in kol mwet mweun lula nukewa, na Abishai el oakelosi in lain mwet Ammon.
11 And he says, “If Aram is stronger than I, then you have been for salvation to me, and if the sons of Ammon are stronger than you, then I have come to give salvation to you;
Joab el fahk nu sel, “Kom fin liye tuh mwet Syria ac kutangyula, na kom tuku kasreyu. Ac nga fin liye tuh mwet Ammon ac kutangkomla, na nga ac fahsrot kasrekom.
12 be strong and strengthen yourself for our people, and for the cities of our God, and YHWH does that which is good in His eyes.”
Kom in ku ac pulaik! Lela kut in sang kuiyasr nufon in mweun ke mwet lasr ac ke siti nukewa lun God lasr. Finsrak tuh in fahsr ou ma lungse lun LEUM GOD!”
13 And Joab draws near, and the people who [are] with him, to battle against Aram, and they flee from his presence;
Joab ac mwet lal elos fahsryak nu ke mweun, ac mwet Syria elos kaing.
14 and the sons of Ammon have seen that Aram has fled, and they flee from the presence of Abishai, and go into the city; and Joab turns back from the sons of Ammon, and comes to Jerusalem.
Ke mwet Ammon elos liye lah mwet Syria kaing, na elos kaingla lukel Abishai, ac foloki nu in siti uh. Na Joab el forla sisla mweun lal yurin mwet Ammon, ac folokla nu Jerusalem.
15 And Aram sees that it is struck before Israel, and they are gathered together;
Mwet Syria elos akilen lah mwet Israel elos kutangulosla, na elos pangoneni mwet mweun lalos nukewa nu sie.
16 and Hadadezer sends, and brings out Aram which [is] beyond the River, and they come to Helam, and Shobach, head of the host of Hadadezer, [is] before them.
Tokosra Hadadezer el sapla nu sin mwet Syria su muta layen kutulap in Infacl Euphrates, ac elos tuku nu Helam, ye kolyuk lal Shobach, captain lun un mwet mweun lal Tokosra Hadadezer lun Zobah.
17 And it is declared to David, and he gathers all Israel, and passes over the Jordan, and comes to Helam, and Aram sets itself in array to meet David, and they fight with him;
Ke David el lohngak ma inge, el orani mwet mweun lun Israel ac tupalla Infacl Jordan ac som nu Helam, yen mwet Syria elos akola soanel we. Mweun uh mutawauk,
18 and Aram flees from the presence of Israel, and David slays seven hundred charioteers and forty thousand horsemen of Aram, and he has struck Shobach, [the] head of its host, and he dies there.
na mwet Israel elos ukwauk mwet mweun Syria. David ac mwet lal ah uniya mwet itfoko su kasrusr ke chariot, ac angngaul tausin mwet kasrusr fin horse, ac elos kantelya Shobach, captain lun un mwet mweun su lainulos, ac el misa na yen mweun ah orek we.
19 And all the kings—servants of Hadadezer—see that they have been struck before Israel, and make peace with Israel, and serve them; and Aram is afraid to help the sons of Ammon anymore.
Ke tokosra ekasr su fahsr tokol Hadadezer elos akilen lah kutangyukla elos, na elos orek misla yurin mwet Israel, ac mutawauk orekma nu selos. Ac mwet Syria elos sangeng in sifilpa kasru mwet Ammon.
