Sie Chronicle 11

1 Mwet Israel nukewa elos som nu yorol David in acn Hebron ac fahk nu sel, “Kut mwet srahm na pwaye ac kut ikwa sefanna.

Then all of Israel was gathered to David at Hebron, saying: “We are your bone and your flesh.

2 In pacl somla, finne Saul pa tokosra lasr ah, kom pa kol mwet Israel ke mweun, ac LEUM GOD lom el wuleot nu sum lah kom ac fah leum fin mwet Israel ac karingin kut oana sie mwet shepherd.”

Also, yesterday and the day before, when Saul still reigned, you were the one who led out and brought in Israel. For the Lord your God said to you: ‘You shall pasture my people Israel, and you shall be the leader over them.’”

3 Ouinge mwet kol nukewa lun Israel elos tuku nu yorol David in acn Hebron. David el orala sie wulela na ku yorolos, ac elos mosrwella tuh elan tokosra lun Israel, oana ma LEUM GOD El tuh wulela kac in kas lal Samuel.

Therefore, all those greater by birth of Israel went to the king at Hebron. And David formed a pact with them before the Lord. And they anointed him king over Israel, in accord with the word of the Lord, which he spoke by the hand of Samuel.

4 Tokosra David ac mwet Israel nukewa elos utyak nu Jerusalem ac mweuni siti sac. In pacl se ingo inen siti sac pa Jebus, ac mwet na pwaye lun an we — mwet Jebus — elos srakna muta we.

Then David and all of Israel went to Jerusalem. The same is Jebus, where the Jebusites, the inhabitants of the land, were.

5 Mwet Jebus elos tuh fahk nu sel David mu el ac tiana ku in utyak nu in siti sac. Tusruktu David el sruokya pot ku lalos Zion, na mutawauk in pangpang acn sac “Siti sel David.”

And those who were living in Jebus said to David: “You shall not enter here.” But David seized the stronghold of Zion, which is the city of David.

6 David el fahk, “Mwet se emeet su uniya sie mwet Jebus, el ac fah captain lun un mwet mweun!” Na Joab, su nina kial pa Zeruiah, el pa fahsryak emeet in mweun, ouinge el pa captain lun un mwet mweun lal David.

And he said, “Whoever shall strike the Jebusites first, shall be ruler and commander.” And so Joab, the son of Zeruiah, ascended first, and he was made the leader.

7 Ke sripen David el som muta ke pot sac, acn sac tufah pangpang “Siti sel David.”

Then David lived in the stronghold, and for this reason it was called the City of David.

8 David el sifil musaela siti sac, mutawauk ke acn se ma koaneyukla layen kutulap in eol soko we. Ac Joab el aksasuye acn lula ke siti sac.

And he built up the city all around, from Millo even to every side. But Joab built the rest of the city.

9 David el kapkapak ac kui, mweyen LEUM GOD Kulana El welul.

And David continued advancing and increasing, and the Lord of hosts was with him.

10 Inen mwet mweun pwengpeng lal David pa takinyukla inge. U se inge, weang mwet Israel nukewa saya, elos kasrel David tuh elan tokosrala in oana ma LEUM GOD El tuh wulela, ac elos oru tuh tokosrai lal in ku na.

These are the leaders of the strong men of David, who assisted him, so that he would become king over all of Israel, in accord with the word of the Lord, which he spoke to Israel.

11 Mwet se meet an pa Jashobeam, ke sou lulap lal Hachmon. El mwet kol lun u se pangpang “Mwet Tolu” ah. El anwukkin osra natul lain mwet tolfoko, ac uniya nufon ke mweun sefanna.

And this is the number of the robust of David: Jashobeam, the son of a Hachmonite, leader among the thirty. He lifted up his spear over three hundred, who were wounded at one time.

12 Mwet se akluo sin mwet pwengpeng tolu inge pa Eleazar, wen natul Dodo in sou lal Ahoh.

And after him, there was Eleazar, the son of his uncle, an Ahohite, who was among the three powerful ones.

13 El welul David mweun lain mwet Philistia ke mweun se in Pas Dammim. El tuh muta in ima in barley se ke mwet Israel elos mutawauk in kaing.

He was with David in Pasdammim, when the Philistines were gathered to that place for battle. Now the field of that region was full of barley, but the people had fled from the face of the Philistines.

14 Eleazar ac mwet lal elos tiana kaing, a elos tu na infulwen ima sac ac mweun lain mwet Philistia. LEUM GOD El sang kutangla na yohk se nu sel.

These men stood in the midst of the field, and they defended it. And when they had struck down the Philistines, the Lord gave a great salvation to his people.

15 Sie len ah, tolu sin mwet mweun pwengpeng tolngoul som nu ke acn se David el muta we sisken sie eot ma apkuran nu ke Luf Adullam. In pacl sac pacna oasr un mwet Philistia mutangan aktuktuk ke Infahlfal Rephaim.

Then three from the thirty leaders descended to the rock where David was, to the cave of Adullam, when the Philistines had made camp in the Valley of the Rephaim.

16 Ke pacl se ingan, David el muta ke sie tohktok ma kuhlusyukyak, ac sie pac un mwet Philistia elos sruokya acn Bethlehem ac muta we.

Now David was in a stronghold, and a garrison of the Philistines was in Bethlehem.

17 David el srounfusryak ac fahk, “Nga ke sie mwet in use kutu kof ah nimuk ke lufin kof se ke mutunpot Bethlehem!”

And then David desired and said, “O if only someone would give me water from the well of Bethlehem, which is at the gate!”

18 Mwet mweun pwengpeng tolu ah elos fokoko na sifacna utyak sasla nien aktuktuk lun mwet Philistia, na utia kof ke lufin kof sac ac usla nu yorol David. Tusruktu el tiana nimya, a el okoala nu infohk uh tuh in mwe kisa nu sin LEUM GOD.

Therefore, these three broke through to the midst of the camp of the Philistines, and they drew water from the well of Bethlehem, which was at the gate. And they took it to David, so that he might drink. But he was not willing; and instead, he offered it as a libation to the Lord,

19 El fahk, “Nga koflana nim kof se inge, mweyen ac oana ngan nim srahn mwet su pilesrala moul lalos inge!” Ouinge el srangesr nim. Na pa ingan orekma pulaik lun mwet mweun pwengpeng tolu ah.

saying: “Far be it from me, that I would do this in the sight of my God, and that I would drink the blood of these men. For at the peril of their own lives, they brought the water to me.” And for this reason, he was not willing to drink. The three most powerful accomplished these things.

20 Abishai, tamulel lal Joab, el pa mwet kol lun u se pangpang “Mwet Pwengpeng Tolngoul.” El anwukkin osra natul in lain mwet tolfoko, ac el onelosi nufon. Na el mutawauk in pwengpeng inmasrlon “Mwet Tolngoul” ah.

Also, Abishai, the brother of Joab, was the leader of the three, and he lifted up his spear against three hundred, who were wounded. And he was most renowned among the three,

21 El pa pwengpeng emeet sin “Mwet Tolngoul” ah, ac el mwet kol lac lalos, tusruktu el tia arulana pwengpeng oana “Mwet Tolu” ah.

and he was famous among the second three and their leader. Yet truly, he did not reach as far as the first three.

22 Benaiah, wen natul Jehoiada mwet Kabzeel, el sie mwet mweun pwengpeng, ac el oru ma watwen pus. Sie pacl ah el uniya mwet mweun na ku luo lun mwet Moab. Oayapa sie len ma yohk snow ah, el tufoki nu in luf se ac uniya lion soko.

Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, from Kabzeel, was a very mature man, who had accomplished many deeds. He struck down the two lions of God from Moab. And he descended and killed a lion in the middle of a pit, in the time of snow.

23 El oayapa uniya mukul Egypt se — sie mwet yohk pisa ac fit itkosr tafu fulatal, ac el sruokya osra na lulap soko. Benaiah el lainul ke sikal soko. El tulakunla osra soko liki poun mwet Egypt sac, ac sang unilya.

And he struck down an Egyptian man, whose stature was five cubits, and who had a spear like a weaver’s beam. And yet he descended to him with a staff. And he seized the spear that he was holding in his hand. And he killed him with his own spear.

24 Pa ingan kutu ma watwen Benaiah el oru, su sie sin “Mwet Tolngoul” ah.

These things were done by Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, who was most renowned among the three robust ones,

25 El pisrla inmasrlon “Mwet Tolngoul” ah, tusruktu el tia pwengpeng oana “Mwet Tolu” ah. Na David el sang tuh Benaiah elan mwet kol fin mwet mweun karinginyal sifacna.

the first among the thirty. Yet truly, he did not reach as far as the three. Then David placed him beside his ear.
