< 2 Samuel 16 >

1 Now when David was a little past the top, look, Ziba the servant of Mippibaal met him with a couple of donkeys saddled, and on them two hundred loaves of bread, a hundred bunches of raisins, a hundred of summer fruits, and a container 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 to Ziba, "Why did you bring these things?" And Ziba replied, "The donkeys are for the king's household to ride on, and the bread and summer fruit for the young men to eat, and the wine is for those who get exhausted in the desert."
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 Then the king said, "Where is your master's son?" Ziba said to the king, "Look, he is staying in Jerusalem, for he said, 'Today the children of Israel will restore to 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 the king said to Ziba, "Look, all that pertains to Mippibaal is yours." Ziba said, "I humbly bow. May I find favor in the sight of my lord the 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 reached Bahurim, now look, a man of the family of the house of Saul came out, whose name was Shimei the son of Gera. He came out and cursed continuously as he approached.
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 threw stones at David and at all his servants, and all the people and all the soldiers at his right hand and at 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 Shimei said as he cursed, "Get out, get out, you man of blood, and worthless man.
Shimei el selngawel ac fahk, “Tiok! Fahsrot! Kom mwet akmas! Kom mwet koluk!
8 Jehovah has returned on you all the blood of the house of Saul, in whose place you have reigned, and Jehovah has given the kingdom into the hand of your son Absalom. And look, your evil is upon you, because you are a man of bloodshed."
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 Abishai the son of Zeruiah said to the king, "Why should this dead dog curse my lord the king? Please let me go over and take off 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 The king said, "What have I to do with you, you sons of Zeruiah? Because he curses, and because Jehovah has said to him, 'Curse David;' who then shall say, 'Why have you 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 Then David said to Abishai and to all his servants, "Look, my son who came from my body seeks my life. So also now this Benjamite. Leave him alone and let him curse, for Jehovah has told him to.
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 Jehovah will look on my affliction and return good to me for his cursing today."
Sahp LEUM GOD El ac liye keok luk, ac ase kutu mwe insewowo in sang aol kas in selnga lal uh.”
13 So David and his men went by the way; and Shimei went along on the hillside opposite him, and cursed as he went, threw stones at his flank, and threw dirt.
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 Now the king and all his people arrived weary at the Jordan, and he refreshed himself there.
Tokosra ac mwet lal nukewa arulana totola ke elos sun Infacl Jordan, na elos mongla we.
15 Now Absalom and all the men of Israel arrived in Jerusalem, and Ahithophel was with him.
Absalom ac mwet Israel nukewa ma welul elos utyak nu Jerusalem, ac Ahithophel el welulos.
16 And it came about when David's friend Hushai the Archite came to Absalom, that Hushai said to Absalom, "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 So Absalom said to Hushai, "Is this your loyalty to your friend? Why did you not go with your friend?"
Na Absalom el siyuk sel, “Mea sis kom tila insese nu sel David, mwet kawuk lom? Efu ku kom tia welul?”
18 Then Hushai said to Absalom, "No, but whom Jehovah and this people and all the men of Israel have chosen, his will I belong, and with him I will stay.
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 Again, whom should I serve? Shouldn't I serve in the presence of his son? As I have served in your father's presence, so will I be in your 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 Absalom said to Ahithophel, "Give your counsel. What should we 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 Ahithophel said to Absalom, "Go in to your father's secondary wives, that he has left to care for the palace. Then all Israel will hear that you have made yourself a stench to your father. Then those on your side will be motivated to support you."
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 set up a tent for Absalom on the roof, and Absalom went in to his father's secondary wives in the sight 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 Now in those days the counsel that Ahithophel gave was as if one inquired of the word of God. So was all the counsel of Ahithophel both to David and to Absalom.
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.
