2 Samuel 16
1 When David was a little past the top, behold, Ziba the servant of Mephibosheth met him with a couple of donkeys saddled, and on them two hundred loaves of bread, and one hundred clusters of raisins, and one hundred 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 The king said to Ziba, “What do you mean by these?” Ziba said, “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, that those who are faint in the wilderness may drink.”
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 The king said, “Where is your master’s son?” Ziba said to the king, “Behold, he is staying in Jerusalem; for he said, ‘Today the house of Israel will restore 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, “Behold, all that belongs to Mephibosheth is yours.” Ziba said, “I bow down. Let me find favor in your sight, my lord, O 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 When King David came to Bahurim, behold, a man of the family of Saul’s house came out, whose name was Shimei, the son of Gera. He came out and cursed as he came.
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 He cast stones at David and at all the servants of King David, and all the people and all the mighty men were on his right hand and on his left.
Shimei el mutawauk tanglal David ac mwet pwapa lal ah, David el ne kuhlusyukla ke mwet lal ac mwet mweun karinginyal.
7 Shimei said when he cursed, “Be gone, be gone, you man of blood, and wicked fellow!
Shimei el selngawel ac fahk, “Tiok! Fahsrot! Kom mwet akmas! Kom mwet koluk!
8 The LORD has returned on you all the blood of Saul’s house, in whose place you have reigned! The LORD has delivered the kingdom into the hand of Absalom your son! Behold, you are caught by your own mischief, because you are a man of blood!”
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 the LORD 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 David said to Abishai and to all his servants, “Behold, my son, who came out of my bowels, seeks my life. How much more this Benjamite, now? Leave him alone, and let him curse; for the LORD has invited him.
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 It may be that the LORD will look on the wrong done to me, and that the LORD will repay me good for the cursing of me 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 him, and threw dust.
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 The king and all the people who were with him arrived weary; and he refreshed himself there.
Tokosra ac mwet lal nukewa arulana totola ke elos sun Infacl Jordan, na elos mongla we.
15 Absalom and all the people, the men of Israel, came to Jerusalem, and Ahithophel with him.
Absalom ac mwet Israel nukewa ma welul elos utyak nu Jerusalem, ac Ahithophel el welulos.
16 When Hushai the Archite, David’s friend, had come to Absalom, 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 Absalom said to Hushai, “Is this your kindness to your friend? Why didn’t you 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 Hushai said to Absalom, “No; but whomever the LORD and this people and all the men of Israel have chosen, I will be his, and I will stay with him.
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 I will 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 we shall 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 concubines that he has left to keep the house. Then all Israel will hear that you are abhorred by your father. Then the hands of all who are with you will be strong.”
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 spread a tent for Absalom on the top of the house, and Absalom went in to his father’s concubines 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 The counsel of Ahithophel, which he gave in those days, was as if a man inquired at the inner sanctuary of God. All the counsel of Ahithophel was like this both with David and with 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.
