2 Samuel 17
1 And Ahithophel said to Absalom, “Please let me choose twelve thousand men, and I arise and pursue after David tonight,
Tia paht toko, Ahithophel el fahk nu sel Absalom, “Lela ngan sulela singoul luo tausin mwet, na kut ac som ukwal David ofong.
2 and come on him, and he [will be] weary and feeble-handed, and I have caused him to tremble, and all the people who [are] with him have fled, and I have struck the king by himself,
Nga ac fah mweunel ke pacl el totola ac munasla nunkal. El ac fah sangeng, ac mwet lal nukewa ac fah kaingla. Tokosra mukena pa nga ac uniya,
3 and I bring back all the people to you—as the turning back of the whole [except] the man whom you are seeking—[then] all the people are [at] peace.”
na nga ac folokonma mwet lal nukewa nu yurum, oana ke sie mutan pisrla el foloko nu yurin mukul tumal. Moul lun mwet sefanna pa kom suk an, na mwet saya nukewa fah moul in misla.”
4 And the word is right in the eyes of Absalom, and in the eyes of all [the] elderly of Israel.
Kas in kasru inge wo sel Absalom ac sin mwet kol nukewa lun mwet Israel.
5 And Absalom says, “Now call for Hushai the Archite also, and we hear what [is] in his mouth—even he.”
Na Absalom el fahk, “Pangnolma Hushai ac lela kut in lohng lah mea el ac fahk uh.”
6 And Hushai comes to Absalom, and Absalom speaks to him, saying, “According to this word Ahithophel has spoken; do we do his word? If not, you—speak.”
Ke Hushai el tuku, Absalom el fahk nu sel, “Pa inge kas in kasru lal Ahithophel nu sesr uh. Fuka, kut ac wi na? Fin tia, kom fahk lah mea kut ac oru.”
7 And Hushai says to Absalom, “The counsel that Ahithophel has counseled [is] not good at this time.”
Na Hushai el fahk, “Kas in kasru lal Ahithophel nu sum ke pacl se inge uh tiana wo.
8 And Hushai says, “You have known your father and his men, that they [are] heroes, and they are bitter in soul as a bereaved bear in a field, and your father [is] a man of war, and does not lodge with the people;
Kom etu na lah David, papa tomom, ac mwet lal elos arulana fokoko ke mweun, ac sulallal lalos oana sulallal lun soko bear mutan ma pusrla ma natul lukel. Papa tomom el mwet na fas ke mweun, ac el tia wi muta yurin mwet lal ah ke fong uh.
9 behold, now, he is hidden in one of the pits, or in one of the places, and it has been at the falling among them at the commencement, that the hearer has heard and said, There has been a slaughter among the people who [are] after Absalom;
Inge sahp el ana wikwik oasr in luf se, ku kutu pacna acn saya. Ke pacl se na David el ac lain mwet lom an, kutena mwet fin lohng kac elos ac fahk mu mwet lom an kuf tari.
10 and he also, the son of valor, whose heart [is] as the heart of the lion, utterly melts, for all Israel knows that your father is a hero, and those with him [are] sons of valor.
Na finne mwet su arulana pulaik ac nikin sangeng oana lion uh, elos ac sangeng mweyen mwet Israel nukewa etu na lah papa tomom el sie mwet mweun pwengpeng, ac mwet lal ah arulana fokoko ke mweun.
11 So that I have counseled: let all Israel be diligently gathered to you, from Dan even to Beer-Sheba, as the sand that [is] by the sea for multitude, and you yourself are going in the midst;
Kas in kasru luk nu sum uh pa kom in orani mwet Israel nukewa, mutawauk na oe epang oatula nwe eir, ac pisalos in oana puk weacn uh, na kom in sifacna kololos nu ke mweun uh.
12 and we have come to him in one of the places where he is found, and we [are] on him as the dew falls on the ground, and there has not been left of him and of all the men who [are] with him even one.
Kut ac konalak David yen el oasr we, ac mweunel meet liki el etu lah mea sikyak. Na el ac mwet lal nukewa ac fah misa, wangin sie ac fah moul.
13 And if he is gathered to a city, then they have caused all Israel to carry ropes to that city, and we have drawn it to the brook until there has not even been found a stone there.”
El fin kaingyak nu in sie siti, na mwet lasr uh ac use sucl in amakinya siti sac nu ten nu infahlfal uh. Wangin sie eot ac fah oan fin tohktok we uh.”
14 And Absalom says—and all the men of Israel, “The counsel of Hushai the Archite [is] better than the counsel of Ahithophel”; and YHWH willed to make void the good counsel of Ahithophel for the sake of YHWH’s bringing the calamity to Absalom.
Absalom ac mwet Israel nukewa elos fahk, “Kas in kasru lal Hushai wo liki kas lal Ahithophel.” LEUM GOD El tuh wotela mu mwet uh in tia eis kas in kasru wo lal Ahithophel, pwanang ongoiya ac tuku nu facl Absalom.
15 And Hushai says to Zadok and to Abiathar the priests, “Thus and thus Ahithophel has counseled Absalom and the elderly of Israel, and thus and thus I have counseled;
Na Hushai el fahkang nu sel mwet tol Zadok ac Abiathar ke kas in kasru ma el sang nu sel Absalom ac mwet kol lun mwet Israel, oayapa ke kas in kasru lal Ahithophel nu selos.
16 and now, send quickly, and declare [it] to David, saying, Do not lodge in the plains of the wilderness tonight, and also, certainly pass over, lest there is a swallowing up of the king and of all the people who are with him.”
Na el sifilpa fahk, “Sulaklak, sapla nwe yorol David elan tia motulla ke acn in tupalla infacl ah yen mwesis, a elos in tupalla na Infacl Jordan ofong, tuh el ac mwet lal in tia tukeni sruoh ac anwuki.”
17 And Jonathan and Ahimaaz are standing at En-Rogel, and the maidservant has gone and declared [it] to them—and they go and have declared [it] to King David—for they are not able to be seen to go into the city.
Jonathan wen natul Abiathar, ac Ahimaaz wen natul Zadok, eltal muta soano ke unon in kof se pangpang Enrogel su oan likin pot in Jerusalem, mweyen eltal tia lungse mwet uh in liyaltal eltal fin utyak nu in siti uh. Oasr sie tulik mutan kulansap su muta fahsr nu yoroltal ac fahkang nu seltal ma orek uh, na eltal ac som fahk nu sel Tokosra David.
18 And a youth sees them, and declares [it] to Absalom; and both of them go on quickly, and come to the house of a man in Bahurim, and he has a well in his court, and they go down there,
Sie len ah tulik mukul se liyaltalak ac som fahk nu sel Absalom. Na eltal kaingla ac wikla ke lohm sin sie mukul Bahurim. Oasr lufin kof se apkuran nu lohm sel ah, na eltal tili nu loac.
19 and the woman takes and spreads the covering over the face of the well, and spreads the ground grain on it, and the thing has not been known.
Mutan kien mukul sac usla mwe afyuf se sang afinya luf sac, na el sisalik fita in wheat nu fac in mau tia akilenyuk lah oasr ma loac.
20 And the servants of Absalom come to the woman at the house, and say, “Where [are] Ahimaaz and Jonathan?” And the woman says to them, “They passed over the brook of water”; and they seek, and have not found, and return to Jerusalem.
Mwet pwapa lal Absalom elos tuku nu yurin mutan sac ac fahk, “El aya Ahimaaz ac Jonathan?” Ac mutan sac topuk, “Eltal srooht infacl an wot.” Mwet uh sokoltal tuh tia ku in konaltalak, na elos folokla nu Jerusalem.
21 And it comes to pass, after their going on, that they come up out of the well, and go and declare [it] to King David, and say to David, “Rise, and pass over the waters quickly, for thus has Ahithophel counseled against you.”
Tukun mwet ah folokla, Ahimaaz ac Jonathan fanyak liki luf sac, ac som fahkak nu sel Tokosra David ke ma Ahithophel el akoo in oru lainul David. Eltal fahk, “Sulaklak tupalla infacl ah.”
22 And David rises, and all the people who [are] with him, and they pass over the Jordan, until the morning light, until not one has been lacking who has not passed over the Jordan.
Ke ma inge David ac mwet lal mutawauk in srola liki Infacl Jordan, ac ke lenelik elos nukewa tupalla tari.
23 And Ahithophel has seen that his counsel was not done, and he saddles the donkey, and rises and goes to his house, to his city, and gives charge to his household, and strangles himself, and dies, and he is buried in the burying-place of his father.
Ke Ahithophel el liye lah mwet uh elos tiana oru oana kas in kasru lal nu selos, na el filiya mwe muta fin donkey natul, ac folokla nu in acn sel. Tukun el oakiya ma lal nukewa in wo, na el sifacna loksakla. El misa ac pukpuki ke kulyuk lun sou lal ah.
24 And David came to Mahanaim, and Absalom passed over the Jordan, he and all the men of Israel with him;
Ke pacl se Absalom ac mwet lal ah tupalla Infacl Jordan, David el sun tari acn Mahanaim. (
25 and Absalom has set Amasa over the host instead of Joab, and Amasa [is] a man’s son whose name is Ithra the Israeli who has gone in to Abigail, daughter of Nahash, sister of Zeruiah, mother of Joab;
Absalom el eisalang Amasa elan captain lun un mwet mweun, aolul Joab. Amasa el wen natul Jether mwet Ishmael, ac nina kial pa Abigail acn natul Nahash, ac tamtael lal Zeruiah, nina kial Joab.)
26 and Israel encamps with Absalom [in] the land of Gilead.
Absalom ac mwet lal elos tulokinya lohm nuknuk selos in acn Gilead.
27 And it comes to pass at the coming in of David to Mahanaim, that Shobi son of Nahash, from Rabbah of the sons of Ammon, and Machir son of Ammiel, from Behold-Debar, and Barzillai the Gileadite, from Rogelim,
Pacl se David el sun acn Mahanaim, mwet tolu inge tuku sonol: Shobi wen natul Nahash, sie mwet in siti Rabbah in acn Ammon; ac Machir wen natul Ammiel, sie mwet Lodebar; ac Barzillai, sie mwet Rogelim in acn Gilead.
28 [have brought] bed, and basin, and earthen vessel, and wheat, and barley, and flour, and roasted [grain], and beans, and lentiles, and roasted [pulse],
Eltal use mwe oan, pesin, ahlu orek ke kle, oayapa mwe mongo inge nal David ac mwet lal: wheat, barley, flao, fita manman, bean, pea,
29 and honey, and butter, and sheep, and cheese of cows; they have brought [these] near for David, and for the people who [are] with him to eat, for they said, “Your people [are] hungry, and weary, and thirsty, in the wilderness.”
