1 Samuel 30
1 When David and his men had come to Ziklag on the third day, the Amalekites had made a raid on the South and on Ziklag, and had struck Ziklag and burnt it with fire,
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 had taken captive the women and all who were in it, both small and great. They didn’t kill any, but carried them off and went 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, behold, it was burnt with fire; 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 who were with him lifted up their voice 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 Jezreelitess, 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 spoke of stoning him, because the souls of all the people were grieved, every man for his sons and for his daughters; but David strengthened himself in the LORD 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 the priest, the son of Ahimelech, “Please bring the ephod here to 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 enquired of the LORD, saying, “If I pursue after this troop, will I overtake them?” He answered him, “Pursue, for you will surely overtake them, and will without fail recover all.”
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, and 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 pursued, he and four hundred men; for two hundred stayed behind, who were so faint that they couldn’t 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 the field, and brought him to David, and gave him bread, and he ate; and 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 They gave him a piece of a cake of figs and two clusters of raisins. When he had eaten, his spirit came again to him; for he had eaten no bread, and drank no 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 asked him, “To whom do you belong? Where are you from?” He said, “I am a young man of Egypt, servant to an Amalekite; and my master left me, because three days ago I got 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 South of the Cherethites, and on that which belongs to Judah, and on the South of Caleb; and we burnt Ziklag with fire.”
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 troop?” He said, “Swear to me by God that you will not kill me and not deliver me up into the hands of my master, and I will bring you down to this troop.”
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 he had brought him down, behold, they were spread around over all the ground, eating, drinking, and dancing, because of all the great plunder that they had taken out of the land of the Philistines, and out of 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 struck them from the twilight even to the evening of the next day. Not a man of them escaped from there, except 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 There was nothing lacking to them, neither small nor great, neither sons nor daughters, neither plunder, nor anything that they had taken. David brought them all back.
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 they drove before those other livestock, and said, “This is David’s plunder.”
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 were so faint that they could not follow David, whom also they had made to stay at the brook Besor; and they went out to meet David, and to meet the people who were with him. When David came near to the 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 of those who went with David answered and said, “Because they didn’t go with us, we will not give them anything of the plunder that we have recovered, except to every man his wife and his children, that he may lead them away and depart.”
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, “Do not do so, my brothers, with that which the LORD has given to us, who has preserved us, and delivered the troop that came against us into our hand.
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 his share is who goes down to the battle, so shall his share be who stays with the baggage. They shall 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 was so from that day forward that he made it a statute and an ordinance for Israel to this day.
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 plunder to the elders of Judah, even to his friends, saying, “Behold, a present for you from the plunder of the LORD’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 sent it to those who were in Bethel, to those who were in Ramoth of the South, 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 to those who were in Aroer, to those who were in Siphmoth, to those who were in Eshtemoa,
Aroer, Siphmoth, Eshtemoa,
29 to those who were in Racal, to those who were in the cities of the Jerahmeelites, to those who were in the cities of the Kenites,
ac Racal; ac nu sin sou lal Jerahmeel, ac nu sin mwet Ken,
30 to those who were in Hormah, to those who were in Borashan, to those who were in Athach,
ac nu sin mwet su muta in siti Hormah, Borashan, Athach,
31 to those who were in Hebron, and to all the places where David himself and his men used to stay.
ac Hebron. El supu ma inge nu in acn nukewa ma el, ac mwet lal, elos tuh fufahsryesr we.
