Sie Chronicle 19
1 Kutu pacl tok, Tokosra Nahash lun Ammon el misa, ac Hanun wen natul, el tokosrala.
And it came to pass after this, [that] Naas the king of the children of Ammon died, and Anan his son reigned in his stead.
2 Tokosra David el fahk, “Nga enenu in akkalemye nunak in kawuk pwaye luk nu sel Hanun, oana ke Nahash papa tumal, el tuh oru nu sik.” Ouinge David el supwala mwet utuk kas in fahkak nunak in pakomuta lal ke misa papa tumal ah. Ke elos sun acn Ammon, ac utyak nu yorol Tokosra Hanun,
And David said, I will act kindly towards Anan the son of Naas, as his father acted kindly towards me. And David sent messengers to condole with him on the death of his father. So the servants of David came into the land of the children of Ammon to Anan, to comfort him.
3 mwet kol lun mwet Ammon elos fahk nu sin tokosra, “Ku kom nunku mu David el akfulatye papa tomom, pa sis el supwama mwet inge in fahkak kas in pakomuta lal nu sum? Sutuu na sutuu! El supwalosme in tuh tuni siti uh, elan mau ku in eisla sesr!”
And the chiefs of the children of Ammon said to Anan, Is it to honour your father before you, that David has sent comforters to you? Have not his servants come to you that they might search the city, and to spy out the land?
4 Hanun el sruokya mwet utuk kas lal David, ac resaela alut lalos, ac wotela nuknuk lalos ah ke finyepalos, ac supwalosla.
And Anan took the servants of David, and shaved them, and cut off the half of their garments as far as their tunic, and sent them away.
5 Elos arulana mwekin in folokla nu yen selos. Ke David el lohng ke ma sikyak ah, el sapla nu yorolos tuh elos in mutana Jericho ac tia foloko nwe ke alut lalos ah kapak.
And there came men to report to David concerning the men: and he sent to meet them, for they were greatly disgraced: and the king said, Dwell in Jericho until your beards have grown, and return.
6 Tokosra Hanun ac mwet Ammon elos akilen lah elos sifacna oru tuh David elan mwet lokoalok lac lalos. Ke ma inge elos sang apkuran in oalngoul tausin paun in silver nu sin mwet in acn Mesopotamia Lucng, oayapa mwet Maacah ac Zobah in acn Syria, tuh elos in moli chariot ac mwet in utuk chariot.
And the children of Ammon saw that the people of David were ashamed, and Anan and the children of Ammon sent a thousand talents of silver to hire for themselves chariots and horsemen out of Syria of Mesopotamia, and out of Syria Maacha, and from Sobal.
7 Oasr chariot tolngoul luo tausin elos srukak, ac mwet mweun lal Tokosra Maacah elos tuku ac tulokunak nien aktuktuk lalos apkuran nu Medeba. Mwet Ammon elos wi pac tuku liki siti nukewa selos, ac elos akola in mweun.
And they hired for themselves two and thirty thousand chariots, and the king of Maacha and his people; and they came and encamped before Medaba: and the children of Ammon assembled out of their cities, and came to fight.
8 Ke David el lohng ma sikyak inge, el supwalla Joab ac mwet mweun lal nukewa.
And David heard, and sent Joab and all the host of mighty men.
9 Mwet Ammon elos fahsr som nu ke nien utyak nu Rabbah, siti fulat lalos, ac tu na akola we. Na tokosra su tuku in welulos ke mweun, elos som nu yen turangang ac akola pac we.
And the children of Ammon came forth, and set themselves in array for battle by the gate of the city: and the kings that were come forth encamped by themselves in the plain.
10 Joab el liye tuh mwet lokoalok lalos ac mweunelos meet ah me ac tokolos me. Ouinge el sulela mwet ma wo emeet ke mweun sin mwet Israel, ac oakelosi in lain mwet Syria.
And Joab saw that they were fronting [him] to fight against him before and behind, and he chose [some] out of all the young men of Israel, and they set themselves in array against the Syrian.
11 Na el sang Abishai, tamulel lal, in kol mwet mweun lula nukewa, ac Abishai el oakelosi in lain mwet Ammon.
And the rest of the people he gave into the hand of his brother Abesai, and they set themselves in array against the children of Ammon.
12 Joab el fahk nu sel, “Kom fin liye tuh mwet Syria ac kutangyula, na kom tuku kasreyu, ac nga fin liye tuh mwet Ammon ac kutangkomla, na nga ac fahsrot kasrekom.
And he said, If the Syrian should prevail against me, then shall you deliver me: and if the children of Ammon should prevail against you, then will I deliver you.
13 Kom in ku ac pulaik! Lela kut in sang kuiyasr nufon in mweun ke mwet lasr ac ke siti nukewa lun God lasr. Finsrak tuh in fahsr ou ma lungse lun LEUM GOD!”
Be of good courage, and let us be strong, for our people, and for the cities of our God: and the Lord shall do what [is] good in his eyes.
14 Joab ac mwet lal fahsryak nu meet in mweun, ac mwet Syria elos kaing.
So Joab and the people that were with him set themselves in battle array against the Syrians, and they fled from them.
15 Ke mwet Ammon elos liye lah mwet Syria kaing, na elos kaingkunul Abishai, ac foloki nu in siti uh. Na Joab el folokla nu Jerusalem.
And the children of Ammon saw that the Syrians fled, and they also fled from before Abesai, and from before Joab his brother, and they came to the city: and Joab came to Jerusalem.
16 Mwet Syria elos akilen lah mwet Israel elos kutangulosla, na elos use un mwet mweun Syria su muta layen kutulap in Infacl Euphrates, ac eisalosyang nu inpaol Shobach, captain lun un mwet mweun lal Tokosra Hadadezer lun Zobah.
And the Syrian saw that Israel had defeated him, and he sent messengers, and they brought out the Syrians from beyond the river; and Sophath the commander-in-chief of the forces of Adraazar [was] before them.
17 Ke David el lohngak ma inge, el orani mwet mweun lun Israel ac tupalla Infacl Jordan, ac oakelosi in lain mwet Syria. Mweun uh srola,
And it was told David; and he gathered all Israel, and crossed over Jordan, and came upon them, and set the battle in array against them. So David set [his army] in array to fight against the Syrians, and they fought against him.
18 na mwet Israel elos ukwauk mwet mweun Syria. David ac mwet lal ah uniya mwet itkosr tausin su kasrusr ke chariot, ac angngaul tausin mwet kasrusr fin horse. Elos oayapa unilya Shobach, captain lun mwet mweun Syria ah.
And the Syrians fled from before Israel; and David killed of the Syrians seven thousand [riders in] chariots, and forty thousand infantry, and he killed Sophath the commander-in-chief of the forces.
19 Ke tokosra kewa su orekma nu sel Hadadezer elos akilen lah kutangyukla elos sin mwet Israel, na elos orek misla yorol David, ac mutawauk in orekma nu sel. Mwet Syria elos tia sifil lungse kasru mwet Ammon.
And the servants of Adraazar saw that they were defeated before Israel, and they made peace with David and served him: and the Syrians would not any more help the children of Ammon.
