Sie Chronicle 19
1 Kutu pacl tok, Tokosra Nahash lun Ammon el misa, ac Hanun wen natul, el tokosrala.
Now it came to pass that Naas the king of the children of Ammon died, and his son reigned is 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 shew kindness to Hanon the son of Naas: for his father did a favour to me. And David sent messengers to comfort him upon the death of his father. But when they were come into the land of the children of Ammon, to comfort Hanon,
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!”
The princes of the children of Ammon said to Hanon: Thou thinkest perhaps that David to do honour to thy father hath sent comforters to thee: and thou dost not take notice, that his servants are come to thee to consider, and search, and spy out thy land.
4 Hanun el sruokya mwet utuk kas lal David, ac resaela alut lalos, ac wotela nuknuk lalos ah ke finyepalos, ac supwalosla.
Wherefore Hanon shaved the heads and beards of the servants of David, and cut away their garments from the buttocks to the feet, 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 when they were gone, they sent word to David, who sent to meet them (for they had suffered a great affront) and ordered them to stay at Jericho till their beards grew and then to 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 when the children of Ammon saw that they had done an injury to David, Hanon and the rest of the people sent a thousand talents of silver, to hire them chariots and horsemen out of Mesopotamia, and out of Syria Maacha, and out of Soba.
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 two and thirty thousand chariots, and the king of Maacha, with his people. And they came and camped over against Medaba. And the children of Ammon gathered themselves together out of their cities, and came to battle.
8 Ke David el lohng ma sikyak inge, el supwalla Joab ac mwet mweun lal nukewa.
And when David heard of it, he sent Joab, and all the army of valiant 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 out and put their army in array before the gate of the city: and the kings, that were come to their aid, stood apart in the field.
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.
Wherefore Joab understanding that the battle was set against him before and behind, chose out the bravest men of all Israel, and marched against the Syrians,
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 delivered into the hand of Abisai his brother, and they went 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 Syrians be too strong for me, then thou shalt help me: but if the children of Ammon be too strong for thee, I will help thee.
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 behave ourselves manfully for our people, and for the cities of our God: and the Lord will do that which is good in his sight.
14 Joab ac mwet lal fahsryak nu meet in mweun, ac mwet Syria elos kaing.
So Joab and the people that were with him, went against the Syrians to the battle: and he put them to flight.
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 seeing that the Syrians were fled, they likewise fled from Abisai his brother, and went into the city: and Joab also returned 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.
But the Syrians seeing that they had fallen before Israel, sent messengers, and brought to them the Syrians that were beyond the river: and Sophach, general of the army of Adarezer, was their leader.
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 together all Israel, and passed the Jordan, and came upon them, and put his army in array against them, and they fought with 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.
But the Syrian fled before Israel: and David slew of the Syrians seven thousand chariots, and forty thousand footmen, and Sophach the general of the army.
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 when the servants of Adarezer saw themselves overcome by Israel, they went over to David, and served him: and Syria would not help the children of Ammon any more.
