2 Samuel 20
1 Now, in that place, there happened to be an abandoned man, whose name, was Sheba son of Bichri, a man of Benjamin, —so he blew a horn, and said—We have no share in David, Nor inheritance have we in the son of Jesse, Every man to his home, O Israel!
In pacl se inge oasr sie mwet lusrongten in acn Gilgal — inel pa Sheba wen natul Bikri, ac el ma in sruf lal Benjamin. El ukya mwe ukuk ac wowoyak ac fahk, “Sisella David! Kut ac tia welul! Mwet Israel nukewa, kut som nu yen sesr ah!”
2 Then went up all the men of Israel from following David, to follow Sheba son of Bichri, —but, the men of Judah, clave unto their king, from the Jordan, even as far as Jerusalem.
Ouinge mwet Israel elos sisella David, ac welulla Sheba. A mwet Judah elos insese na yorol David, ac elos welul fahla Infacl Jordan lac nu Jerusalem.
3 And David entered into his own house, in Jerusalem, and the king took the ten women, the concubines whom he had left to keep the house, and put them in ward, and sustained them, but, unto them, went he not in, —so they were shut up until the day of their death, in lifelong widowhood.
Ke David el tuku nu lohm sin tokosra in acn Jerusalem, el orani mutan kulansap singoul kial ma el tuh filiya in liyaung inkul sel ah, ac eisalosyang nu inpoun mwet topang uh. El sang enenu lalos, tuh el tia oan yorolos. Elos muta kaul ac moul oana mutan katinmas ke lusen moul lalos.
4 Then said the king unto Amasa, Assemble me the men of Judah, within three days, —and, thou, here, take thy stand!
Ac tokosra el fahk nu sel Amasa, “Pangoneni mwet Judah ac welulos foloko nu inse inge ulela.”
5 So Amasa went, to assemble Judah, —but he tarried beyond the fixed time, which he had appointed him.
Amasa el som in pangnolos, tuh el tia foloko ke pacl se tokosra el tuh fahk nu sel ah.
6 Then said David unto Abishai, Now, shall Sheba son of Bichri, do us more harm than Absolom, —thou, take the servants of thy lord, and pursue him, lest he have got him into fortified cities, and so have escaped our eye.
Na tokosra el fahk nu sel Abishai, “Sheba el ac orek lokoalok nu sesr yohk lukel Absalom. Us mwet luk an ac fahsrot ukwal, elan ma tia utyak nu in siti oasr pot ku we pwanang kut ac kofla sruokilya.”
7 Then went out after him—the men of Joab, and the Cherethites and the Pelethites, and all the mighty men, —and they went out from Jerusalem, to pursue Sheba son of Bichri.
Ke ma inge, mwet lal Joab ac mwet topang oayapa mwet mweun nukewa saya, elos welul Abishai som liki acn Jerusalem in ukwal Sheba.
8 When, they, were by the great stone which is in Gibeon, Amasa, had arrived before them. Now, Joab, was girded about with his war-coat as his upper garment, and, over it, a girdle with a sword, fastened upon his loins, in the sheath thereof, and, it, came out and fell.
Ke elos sun eot lulap se in acn Gibeon, Amasa el sonolos. Joab el nukum nuknuk in mweun, ac cutlass se oan ke ma neinya sripsrip ke pel lal. Ke el fahsr nu meet, cutlass sac putatla.
9 Then said Joab unto Amasa, Art thou, well, my brother? And Joab took Amasa by the beard with his right hand, to kiss him.
Joab el fahk nu sel Amasa, “Ma lik, kom fuka?” ac el sruokya alut lal ah ke lac po layot tuh elan ngok mutal.
10 Amasa not heeding the sword that was in the hand of Joab, he smote him therewith in the belly, and shed out his bowels to the ground, and [struck] him not again, and he died. So, Joab and Abishai his brother, pursued Sheba son of Bichri.
Amasa el tiana akola nu ke cutlass se ma Joab el sruokya ke lac paol lasa, na Joab el fakisya insial ac koanonsial raki nu infohk uh. Na el misa na insac, pwanang Joab el tia enenu in faksilya pacl luo. Na Joab ac Abishai tamulel lal, som in ukwal Sheba.
11 Now, a man, stood over him, of the young men of Joab, —and said—Whosoever is well pleased with Joab, and whosoever pertaineth to David, let him follow Joab.
Sie sin mwet lal Joab ah tui ke manol Amasa ac wola fahk, “Mwet nukewa su ma lal Joab ac David, fahsr tokol Joab!”
12 But, Amasa, was wallowing in blood, in the midst of the highway, —and, when the man saw that all the people stood still, he moved Amasa, out of the highway into the field, and cast over him a garment, as soon as he saw that every man that came up to him stood still.
Manol Amasa afla ke srah ac oanna inkanek ah. Sie mwet lal Joab liye lah mwet uh fahsr tui ke mano sac, na el amakunla liki innek ah nu inimae, ac afinya ke kaot se.
13 When he had removed him out of the highway, every man passed on, after Joab, to pursue Sheba son of Bichri.
Tukun mano sac mokleyukla liki innek ah, na mwet nukewa fahsr tokol Joab in ukwal Sheba.
14 And he passed on throughout all the tribes of Israel, unto Abel and unto Beth-maachah, and all the Berites, —and they were called together, and came in, yea and followed him.
Sheba el fahsr alukela acn sin sruf nukewa lun Israel, ac tuku nu ke siti Abel Beth Maacah, ac mwet nukewa in sou lal Bikri elos toeni ac fahsr tokol nu in siti uh.
15 So they came, and laid siege against him, in Abel, Beth-maachah, and they cast up a mound against the city, so that it stood within a rampart, —and, all the people who were with Joab, were battering the wall to throw it down.
Mwet lal Joab elos lohng lah Sheba el oasr we, na elos fahsreni kuhlusya siti sac. Elos sang fohk musaeak nien fanyak lalos nu fin pot we, ac mutawauk in pikin ye pot uh in raki.
16 Then cried a wise woman out of the city, —Hear ye! hear ye! I pray you, say unto Joab, Come near hither, and let me speak unto thee.
Oasr mutan lalmwetmet se in siti sac, su wowoyak fin pot ah, ac fahk, “Koasrlong! Lohng! Sap Joab elan fahsru. Nga ke sramsram nu sel.”
17 So he came near unto her, and the woman said, —Art thou Joab? And he said, —I am. And she said unto him, —Hear thou the words of thy handmaid. And he said, I do hear.
Na Joab el som nu yorol, ac mutan sac siyuk, “Ku kom pa Joab?” Na Joab el fahk, “Aok, nga.” Na mutan sac fahk, “Lohng ma nga ac fahk uh.” Na Joab el fahk, “Nga ac lohng.”
18 Then spake she, saying, —They, used to speak, in former times, saying, Enquire, in Abel! And, so, they ended it.
Mutan sac fahk, “Oasr kas se lun mwet in pacl somla fahk mu, ‘Fahla eis top lom an in siti lun Abel’ — na pa ingan ma elos tuh oru.
19 I, am of the peaceable among the faithful in Israel, —thou, art seeking to put to death a city, and a mother in Israel, wherefore wouldst thou swallow up the inheritance of Yahweh?
Siti se sesr inge siti na pwengpeng se. Yohk misla ac insese lasr nu sin tokosra lasr inmasrlon siti Israel nukewa. Efu kom ku srike in kunausla? Ku kom lungse akkolukyela ma lun LEUM GOD?”
20 Then answered Joab and said, —Far be it! far be it from me! I will neither swallow up nor lay waste.
Na Joab el topuk, “Mo! Tiana ku! Nga tia ku in akkolukye ku kunausla siti lowos uh!
21 Not so, is the matter! but, a man of the hill country of Ephraim, Sheba son of Bichri, his name, hath lifted up his hand against the king, even against David, give up him alone, and I will depart from the city. And the woman said unto Joab, Lo! his head, shall be cast unto thee, through the wall.
Tia pa ingan ma kut akoo. Oasr sie mukul, inel pa Sheba wen natul Bikri, el tuku liki eol uh in facl Ephraim, ac el mutawauk sie alein lainul Tokosra David. Usalu mwet se ingan, na nga fah som liki siti lowos uh.” Na mutan sac fahk, “Kut ac sisot sifal fin pot uh wot nu sum.”
22 So the woman came unto all the people in her wisdom, and they cut off the head of Sheba son of Bichri, and cast it out unto Joab. And he blew with a horn, and they dispersed themselves from the city, every man to his home; but, Joab, returned to Jerusalem unto the king.
Na el som nu yurin mwet in siti sac ac fahkak nunak lal nu selos, na elos pakela sifal Sheba ac sisla fin pot uh lac nu sel Joab. Joab el ukya mwe ukuk in akkalemye nu sin mwet lal elos in som liki siti uh, na elos folokla nu yen selos. Ac Joab el folokla nu Jerusalem nu yorol tokosra.
23 And, Joab, was [restored] unto all the army of Israel, —And, Benaiah, son of Jehoiada, was over the Cherethites and over the Pelethites,
Joab el captain lun un mwet mweun lun Israel. Benaiah wen natul Jehoiada, pa liyaung un mwet topang lal David.
24 And, Adoniram, was over the tribute, —And, Jehoshaphat, son of Ahilud, was the remembrancer;
Adoniram pa liyaung orekma lun mwet kohs. Jehoshaphat wen natul Ahilud, pa karinganang ma simla.
25 And, Sheva, was scribe, —And, Zadok and Abiathar, were priests;
Sheva pa mwet sim inkul lun tokosra. Zadok ac Abiathar pa mwet tol.
26 Moreover also, Ira the Jairite, was chief ruler unto David.
Ac Ira, sie mwet liki siti Jair, el oayapa sie sin mwet tol lal David.
