1 Samuel 30
1 It came about, when David and his men had come to Ziklag on the third day, that the Amalekites had made a raid upon the Negev and on Ziklag. They attacked Ziklag, burned it,
Tukun len luo, David ac mwet lal elos sun acn Ziklag. Mwet Amalek elos mweuni acn eir in acn Judah, ac elos utyak tari nu Ziklag. Elos esukak acn we,
2 and captured the women and everyone who was in it, both small and great. They killed no one, but carried them off as they went on their way.
ac sruokya mutan nukewa. Elos tia uniya kutena mwet, tusruk elos usla mwet nukewa welulos ke elos som liki acn we.
3 When David and his men came to the city, it was burned, and their wives, their sons, and their daughters were taken captive.
Ke David ac mwet lal tuku, elos liye tuh na siti sac firiryak, na sruhu ac utukla mutan kialos ac tulik natulos, mukul ac mutan.
4 Then David and the people that were with him raised their voices and wept until they had no more power to weep.
David ac mwet lal elos mutawauk in tung, ac elos tung nwe mas na.
5 David's two wives were taken captive, Ahinoam the Jezreelite woman, and Abigail the wife of Nabal the Carmelite.
Finne Ahinoam ac Abigail, su eltal mutan kial David, elos utukla pac.
6 David was greatly distressed, for the people were talking about stoning him, for all the people were bitter in spirit, each man for his sons and daughters; but David strengthened himself in Yahweh, his God.
David el muta in fosrnga lulap, mweyen mwet lal elos toasr na pwaye lah utukla tulik natulos, pwanang elos oru elos in tanglal David. Tusruktu David el ngetak nu sin LEUM GOD tuh Elan akkeyal.
7 David said to Abiathar son of Ahimelech, the priest, “I beg you, bring the ephod here for me.” Abiathar brought the ephod to David.
David el fahk nu sin mwet tol Abiathar, wen natul Ahimelech, “Use nuknuk ephod lun mwet tol,” na Abiathar el use ac sang nu sel.
8 David prayed to Yahweh for direction, saying, “If I pursue after this troop, will I overtake them?” Yahweh answered him, “Pursue, for you will certainly overtake them, and you will surely recover everything.”
Na David el siyuk sin LEUM GOD, “Ya fal nga in som ukwe mwet su aklokoalokye kut? Nga ac ku in sruokolosi?” Na LEUM GOD El topuk, “Aok, ukwalos! Kom ac fah sruokolosi, ac kom fah molela mwet ma sruhu.”
9 So David went, he and the six hundred men who were with him; they came to the brook Besor, where those who were left behind stayed.
Ouinge David ac mwet onfoko lal elos som in ukwalos, ac ke elos sun Infacl srisrik Besor, kutu selos mutana we.
10 But David kept pursuing, he and four hundred men; for two hundred had stayed behind, who were so weak that they could not go over the brook Besor.
David ac mwet angfoko lal sifilpa som. Mwet luofoko saya elos arulana totola ac tia ku in wi tupalla Infacl soko ah, oru elos mutana tia wi som.
11 They found an Egyptian in a field and brought him to David; they gave him bread, and he ate; they gave him water to drink;
Mwet ma welul David elos konauk tulik mukul Egypt se yen mwesis ah, na elos usalu nu yorol David. Elos sang kutu bread nal ac kof nimal,
12 and they gave him a piece of a cake of figs and two clusters of raisins. When he had eaten, he gained strength again, for he had eaten no bread nor drunk any water for three days and three nights.
ac fig paola, ac tun in grape pao luo. Ke el mongo tari na el kui. El tuh tia mongo ku nim ke lusen len tolu.
13 David said to him, “To whom do you belong? Where do you come from?” He said, “I am a young man of Egypt, servant to an Amalekite; my master left me because three days ago I fell sick.
David el siyuk sel, “Ku su leum lom uh, ac kom mwet oya?” Tulik sac fahk nu sel, “Nga mwet Egypt. Nga mwet kohs lun sie mwet Amalek. Leum luk ah som likiyu len tolu lac pa inge, mweyen nga luman mas kutu.
14 We made a raid on the Negev of the Kerethites, and what belongs to Judah, and the Negev of Caleb, and we burned Ziklag.”
Kut tuh som mweuni acn lun mwet Chereth ma oan eir in acn Judah, oayapa acn lun mwet in sou lal Caleb, ac kut esukak pac acn Ziklag.”
15 David said to him, “Will you bring me down to this raiding party?” The Egyptian said, “Swear to me by God that you will not kill me or betray me up into the hands of my master, and I will bring you down to this raiding party.”
Na David el siyuk sel, “Kom ku in pwen kut nu yurin u se ingan?” Tulik sac topuk, “Aok, kom fin wulela nu sik ye mutun God lah kom ac tia uniyuwi, ku usyula nu yurin leum luk.”
16 When the Egyptian had brought David down, the raiders were spread out over all the ground, eating and drinking and dancing because of all the booty they had taken out of the land of the Philistines and from the land of Judah.
Ac el pwanul David nu yurin u se ma orek lokoalok. Mwet inge elos oalik acn se elos muta we ah. Elos mongo ac nimnim ac orek engan in akfulatye lah arulana pus ma elos sruokya in facl lun mwet Philistia ac Judah.
17 David attacked them from the twilight to the evening of the next day. Not a man escaped except for four hundred young men, who rode on camels and fled.
Toang in len tok ah, David el mweun lainulos. El mweunelos nwe ke na ekela. Oasr mwet angfoko sroang nu fin camel natulos ac kaingla, a funu mwet nukewa saya uh elos tiana kaingla.
18 David recovered all that the Amalekites had taken; and David rescued his two wives.
David el molela mwet nukewa ac ma nukewa ma mwet Amalek elos tuh usla, wi mutan luo kial sifacna.
19 Nothing was missing, neither small nor great, neither sons nor daughters, neither booty, nor anything that the raiders had taken for themselves. David brought back everything.
Wangin ma tuhlac. David el folokonma tulik mukul ac tulik mutan nukewa nutin mwet lal ah, oayapa ma nukewa mwet Amalek elos tuh usla.
20 David took all the flocks and the herds, which the men drove ahead of the other cattle. They said, “This is David's booty.”
El oayapa folokonma un sheep ac cow ma utukla. Mwet lal elos oru kosro inge fahsr meet lukelos, ac elos fahk, “Ma inge nukewa ma lal David!”
21 David came to the two hundred men who had been too weak to follow him, the ones the others had made to stay at the brook Besor. These men went ahead to meet David and the people who were with him. When David came to these people, he greeted them.
Na David el folokla nu yurin mwet luofoko ma tuh mutana Infacl srisrik Besor ke sripen elos arulana munas ac kofla welul. Elos tuyak in osun nu sel ac mwet lal, ac David el paingulos ke kas kulang.
22 Then all the wicked men and worthless fellows among those who had gone with David said, “Because these men did not go with us, we will not give them any of the booty that we have recovered. Except that each man may take his wife and children, lead them away, and go.”
Tusruktu, kutu mukul srangesroa ac lusrongten sin mwet ma welul David som ah, elos fahk, “Mwet inge tiana wi kut som, na pa kut ac tiana sang nu selos ma kut eis inge. Elos in eis mutan kialos ac tulik natulos, ac fahla liki kut.”
23 Then David said, “You must not act like this, my brothers, with what Yahweh has given to us. He has preserved us and given into our hand the raiders who came against us.
A David el fahk, “Ma lik, kowos tia ku in oru ouinge nu ke ma LEUM GOD El ase nu sesr! El molikutla, ac El ase kutangla nu sesr fin mwet lokoalok lasr.
24 Who will listen to you in this matter? For as the share is for anyone who goes into battle, so also will the share be for anyone who waits by the baggage; they will share and share alike.”
Wanginna mwet ku in insese nu ke ma kowos fahk inge! Mwet nukewa in eis oana sie. Ip se lun mwet su muta taran ma lasr, ac fah oana ip se lun mwet ma som wi mweun.”
25 It has been so from that day to this day, for David made it a statute and a decree for Israel.
David el oakiya ma sap se inge, ac mwet Israel elos fahsrna kac nwe misenge.
26 When David came to Ziklag, he sent some of the booty to the elders of Judah, to his friends, saying, “See, here is a present for you from the booty from Yahweh's enemies.”
Ke David el folokla nu Ziklag, el supwala kutu ma wap inge nu sin mwet kawuk lal, su mwet kol in acn Judah, wi kas inge, “Mwe lung nu suwos inge, ma kut eisla sin mwet lokoalok lun LEUM GOD.”
27 He also sent some to the elders who were in Bethel, and to those who were in Ramoth of the South, and to those who were in Jattir,
El supu ma inge nu sin mwet su muta Bethel, ac mwet su muta Ramah su oan eir in Judah, ac nu sin mwet su muta Jattir,
28 and to those who were in Aroer, and to those who were in Siphmoth, and to those who were in Eshtemoa.
Aroer, Siphmoth, Eshtemoa,
29 He also sent some to the elders who were in Rakal, and to those who were in the cities of the Jerahmeelites, and to those who were in the cities of the Kenites,
ac Racal; ac nu sin sou lal Jerahmeel, ac nu sin mwet Ken,
30 and to those who were in Hormah, and to those who were in Bor Ashan, and to those who were in Athak,
ac nu sin mwet su muta in siti Hormah, Borashan, Athach,
31 and to those who were in Hebron, and to all the places where David himself and his men habitually went.
ac Hebron. El supu ma inge nu in acn nukewa ma el, ac mwet lal, elos tuh fufahsryesr we.
