1 Samuel 22
1 So David left there and escaped to the cave of Adullam. When his brothers and all his father's house heard it, they went down there to him.
David el kaingla liki siti Gath ac som nu ke luf se su oan apkuran nu Adullam. Ke tamulel lal ac mwet in sou lal kewa elos lohngak lah el oasr we, elos som nu yorol.
2 Everyone who was in distress, everyone who was in debt, and everyone who was discontented—they all gathered to him. David became captain over them. There were about four hundred men with him.
Na mwet su muta in ongoiya, oayapa mwet soemoul sin mwet, ac mwet supwar, elos som pac nu yorol. Sahp oasr mwet angfoko ke u se inge, na David el mwet kol lalos.
3 Then David went from there to Mizpah in Moab. He said to the king of Moab, “Please let my father and my mother go out with you until I know what God will do for me.”
David el som liki acn sac ac tuku nu Mizpah in acn Moab, ac fahk nu sin tokosra we, “Nunak munas lela tuh papa tumuk ac nina kiuk in muta yurum nu ke nga konauk lah mea God El ac fah oru nu sik.”
4 He left them with the king of Moab. His father and mother stayed with him the whole time that David was in his stronghold.
Na David el likiya papa tumal ac nina kial yurin tokosra lun Moab, ac eltal muta yorol ke lusenna pacl ma David el wikwik in luf sac.
5 Then the prophet Gad said to David, “Do not stay in your stronghold. Leave and go into the land of Judah.” So David left there and went into the forest of Hereth.
Na Gad, sie mwet palu, el tuku nu yorol David ac fahk, “Nik kom muta inge. Tuyak ac fahsr nu in facl Judah.” Ke ma inge, David el som ac ilyak nu insak Hereth.
6 Saul heard that David had been discovered, along with the men who were with him. Now Saul was sitting in Gibeah under the tamarisk tree in Ramah, with his spear in his hand, and all his servants were standing around him.
Sie len ah Saul el muta Gibeah, ye sak tamarisk soko fin tohktok se, ac osra natul oan inpaol. Mwet kol lal nukewa tu raunella. Na fwackyang nu sel lah koneyukyak David ac mwet lal uh.
7 Saul said to his servants who stood around him, “Listen now, people of Benjamin! Will the son of Jesse give every one of you fields and vineyards? Will he make you all captains of thousands and captains of hundreds,
Ac Saul el fahk nu sin mwet lal inge, “Kowos mwet Benjamin, porongeyu! Ya kowos nunku mu David el ac sot ima in grape ac ima pac saya nu suwos nukewa, ac oru tuh kowos nukewa in mwet kol lun un mwet mweun lal?
8 in exchange for all of you plotting against me? None of you informs me when my son makes a covenant with the son of Jesse. None of you is sorry for me. None of you informs me that my son has incited my servant David against me. Today he hides and waits for me so he may attack me.”
Ya pa ingan sripa se oru kowos pwapa in lainyu an? Wangin sie suwos tuku akkalemye nu sik lah wen nutik sifacna el asruoki nu sel David. Wanginna mwet nunku keik, ku akkalemye nu sik lah David, su sie sin mwet luk, el suk pacl lal in uniyuwi, ac wen se nutik el kasrel!”
9 Then Doeg the Edomite, who stood by the servants of Saul, answered, “I saw the son of Jesse come to Nob, to Ahimelech son of Ahitub.
Doeg el wi mwet lal Saul inge tu insac, ac el fahk, “Nga tuh liyal David ke el som nu yorol Ahimelech, wen natul Ahitub, in acn Nob.
10 He prayed to Yahweh that he might help him, and he gave him provisions and the sword of Goliath the Philistine.”
Ahimelech el tuh siyuk sin LEUM GOD lah mea fal David elan oru, na el sang kutu mwe mongo nu sel David, oayapa cutlass se natul Goliath, mwet Philistia sac.”
11 Then the king sent someone to summon the priest Ahimelech son of Ahitub and all his father's house, the priests who were in Nob. All of them came to the king.
Na Tokosra Saul el sapla solalma Ahimelech, mwet tol, ac sou lal kewa, su elos mwet tol pac in Nob, ac elos tuku nu yorol.
12 Saul said, “Listen now, son of Ahitub.” He answered, “Here I am, my master.”
Ac Saul el fahk nu sel Ahimelech, “Ahimelech, porongeyu!” Ac Ahimelech el topuk, “O Tokosra, nga pa inge.”
13 Saul said to him, “Why have you plotted against me, you and the son of Jesse, in that you have given him bread, and a sword, and have prayed to God that he might help him, so that he might rise up against me, to hide in secret, as he does today?”
Ac Saul el siyuk sel, “Efu ku kom ac David pwapa in lainyu? Efu kom ku sang mwe mongo nu sel ac cutlass sac, oayapa siyuk kasru sin God kacl David? Na inge el forma lainyu, ac el tupan pacl wo lal in uniyuwi.”
14 Then Ahimelech answered the king and said, “Who among all your servants is so faithful as David, who is the king's son-in-law and is over your bodyguard, and is honored in your house?
Ahimelech el topuk, “David pa oaru emeet sin mwet pwapa lom! El wen talupom, el captain lun mwet soan lom, ac mwet nukewa inkul sum elos arulana akfulatyal.
15 Is today the first time I have prayed to God to help him? Far be it from me! Do not let the king impute anything to his servant or to all the house of my father. For your servant knows nothing of this whole matter.”
Aok, pwaye nga tuh siyuk kasru sin God kacl, tuh tia pacl se emeet nga oru pa inge. Ac funu ke kas se ma fahk mu nga pwapa lain kom, O Tokosra, nimet sis nu fuk, ku nu sin kutena mwet in sou luk, mweyen wanginna ma nga etu ke ma se inge!”
16 The king replied, “You will surely die, Ahimelech, you and all your father's house.”
Ac tokosra el fahk, “Ahimelech, kom ac sou lom nukewa enenu in misa.”
17 The king said to the guard that stood around him, “Turn and kill the priests of Yahweh. Because their hand also is with David, and because they knew that he fled, but did not reveal it to me.” But the servants of the king would not put out their hand to kill the priests of Yahweh.
Na tokosra el fahk nu sin mwet mweun su tu siskal, “Uniya mwet tol lun LEUM GOD inge! Elos welul David nunak se, ac elos etu na lah David el kaingla, a elos tia fahk nu sik!” Tusruktu, mwet mweun inge elos tiana srukak paolos nu fin mwet tol lun LEUM GOD.
18 Then the king said to Doeg, “Turn and kill the priests.” So Doeg the Edomite turned and attacked the priests; he killed eighty-five persons who wore a linen ephod that day.
Ke ma inge, Saul el fahk nu sel Doeg, “Kom, oneltalu!” Na Doeg el onelosla nukewa. In len sac el uniya mwet tol oalngoul limekosr su fal in nukum ephod lun mwet tol.
19 He also put to the sword Nob, the city of the priests; both men and women, children and infants, and oxen and donkeys and sheep he put to the sword.
Saul el oayapa sap in anwukla mwet nukewa in acn Nob, su siti lun mwet tol — mukul, mutan, tulik srisrik ac tulik fusr, cow, donkey, sheep — ma inge nukewa anwukla.
20 But one of the sons of Ahimelech son of Ahitub, named Abiathar, escaped and fled after David.
Tusruktu Abiathar, sie sin wen natul Ahimelech, el kaingla ac som welul David.
21 Abiathar told David that Saul had killed Yahweh's priests.
El fahk nu sel David lah Saul el uniya mwet tol lun LEUM GOD.
22 David said to Abiathar, “I knew on that day, when Doeg the Edomite was there, that he would surely tell Saul. I am responsible for every death in your father's family!
David el fahk nu sel Abiathar, “Ke nga tuh liyal Doeg in len sac, nga etu na lah el ac fahkak nu sel Saul ma orek ah. Ke ma inge, misa lun mwet nukewa in sou lom, oan fuk.
23 Stay with me and do not be afraid. For the one who seeks your life seeks mine as well. You will be safe with me.”
Mutana yuruk ac nikmet sangeng. Saul el lungse unikuti na kewa, tuh kom fin muta yuruk, kom ac fah moul.”
