Sie Samuel 24
1 Ke Saul el folok liki mweun lal nu sin mwet Philistia, fwackyang nu sel lah David el muta yen mwesis se apkuran nu Engedi.
And when Saul had returned after pursuing the Philistines, they reported to him, saying, “Behold, David is in the desert of Engedi.”
2 Saul el eis tolu tausin mwet mweun na ku sin mwet Israel, ac som sokol David ac mwet lal kutulap in acn se pangpang Eot in Nani Lemnak.
Therefore, Saul, taking three thousand elect men from all of Israel, traveled in order to search for David and his men, even upon the most broken rocks, which are passable only to mountain goats.
3 Saul el tuku nu ke luf se su apkuran nu ke sie kalkal in sheep, na el utyak nu loac in akola we. Falyang na lah luf se inge pa David ac mwet lal elos wikwik we e ke kapin luf uh.
And he arrived at the sheepfolds, which presented themselves along the way. And a cave was in that place, which Saul entered, so that he might ease his bowels. But David and his men were hiding in the interior part of the cave.
4 Na mwet lal David elos fahk nu sel, “Pacl wo lom pa inge! LEUM GOD El tuh fahk nu sum lah El ac fah asot mwet lokoalok lom nu inpoum, ac kom fah ku in oru kutena ma kom lungse oru nu sel.” Na David el orakla ac lusala sie ipin nuknuk lal Saul, a Saul el tiana etu.
And the servants of David said to him: “Behold the day, about which the Lord said to you, ‘I will deliver your enemy to you, so that you may do to him as it will be pleasing in your eyes.’” Then David rose up, and he quietly cut off the edge of Saul’s cloak.
5 Na toko, David el mutawauk in auli insial,
After this, his own heart struck David, because he had cut off the edge of Saul’s cloak.
6 ac el fahk nu sin mwet lal, “LEUM GOD Elan ikolyuwi tuh nga in tia oru kutena ma koluk lain leum luk, su LEUM GOD El sulela tuh in tokosra. Nga enenu na nga in tiana akkolukyal, mweyen el tokosra se su sulosolla sin LEUM GOD.”
And he said to his men: “May the Lord be gracious to me, lest I do this thing to my lord, the Christ of the Lord, so that I lay my hand upon him. For he is the Christ of the Lord.”
7 Ke ma inge, David el arulana akkalemye nu sin mwet lal tuh elos in tia oru kutena ma nu sel Saul. Na Saul el tuyak ac illa liki luf sac, ac mutawauk in fahsr inkanek lal.
And David restrained his men with his words, and he would not permit them to rise up against Saul. And so Saul, going out of the cave, continued to undertake his journey.
8 Na David el illa tokol ac pangnol, “Tokosra, leum luk!” Na Saul el tapulla, ac David el srimi nwe ten in akfulatyal.
Then David also rose up after him. And departing from the cave, he cried out behind the back of Saul, saying: “My lord, the king!” And Saul looked behind him. And David, bowing himself face down to the ground, reverenced.
9 David el fahk, “Efu ku kom lohng kas lun mwet uh ke elos fahk mu nga suk kom in akkolukye moul lom?
And he said to Saul: “Why do you listen to the words of men who say: ‘David seeks evil against you?’
10 Kom ku in sifacna liye lah misenge LEUM GOD El eiskomme nu inpouk ke kom muta in luf se inge. Kutu sin mwet luk inge elos tuh fahk nu sik mu ngan unikomi, tuh nga pakomutom ac fahk lah nga ac fah tia oru kutena ma nu sum, mweyen kom pa sulosolla sin LEUM GOD tuh kom in tokosra.
Behold, this day your eyes have seen that the Lord has delivered you into my hand, in the cave. And I thought that I might kill you. But my eye has spared you. For I said: I will not extend my hand against my lord, for he is the Christ of the Lord.
11 Ngetma, Papa. Liye ipin nuknuk se inpouk inge! Ma ke nuknuk kom nukum an. Nga ku na in unikomi, tuh nga tiana. Nga lusala mukena ipin nuknuk se inge in akpwayeye nu sum lah wangin nunak koluk luk in lain kom, ku in akkolukye moul lom. Kom sukyu in uniyuwi, finne wangin ma koluk nga oru nu sum.
Moreover, see and know, O my father, the edge of your cloak in my hand. For though I cut off the top of your cloak, I was not willing to extend my hand against you. Turn your soul and see that there is no evil in my hand, nor any iniquity or sin against you. Yet you lie in wait for my life, so that you may take it away.
12 LEUM GOD Elan nununku inmasrloktal, lah su kac tafongla uh! Lela tuh Elan oru kai lal nu sum ke ma kom oru in lainyu, tuh nga ac fah tia oru kutena ma in akkolukye moul lom.
May the Lord judge between me and you. And may the Lord vindicate me from you. But my hand will not be against you.
13 Kom esam soakas se ma fahk mu, ‘Ma koluk uh sikyak sin mwet koluk mukena.’ Ke ma inge, nga ac fah tiana oru ma koluk lain kom.
So too, it is said in the ancient proverb, ‘From the impious, impiety will go forth.’ Therefore, my hand will not be upon you.
14 Liyewin, mea se tokosra lun Israel el suk in uniya uh? Liye lah mea se el ukwe uh! Kosro ngalngul misa soko! Kitin kuut!
Whom are you pursuing, O king of Israel? Whom are you pursuing? You are pursuing a dead dog, a single flea.
15 LEUM GOD El ac fah oru nununku lal, ac El fah konauk lah su sesr sutuela uh. Lela God Elan suiya ma inge ac karinginyu, ac moliyula liki inpoum.”
May the Lord be the judge, and may he judge between me and you. And may he see and judge my case, and rescue me from your hand.”
16 Ke tari sramsram lal David, na Saul el fahk, “David, wen nutik, ku pwayena lah kom pa ingan?” Ac Saul el mutawauk tung.
And when David had completed speaking words in this way to Saul, Saul said, “Could this be your voice, my son David?” And Saul lifted up his voice, and he wept.
17 Na el fahk nu sel David, “Pwayena sum, ac nga pa sutuela uh. Kom arulana wo nu sik, a nga oru koluk nu sum!
And he said to David: “You are more just than I am. For you have distributed good to me, but I have repaid evil to you.
18 Misenge kom akkalemye wo lom nu sik, ke kom tia uniyuwi, LEUM GOD El finne eisyuwot nu inpoum.
And you have revealed this day the good that you have done for me: how the Lord delivered me into your hand, but you did not kill me.
19 Ya oasr pacl sikyak ouinge, tuh mwet se in sruokya mwet lokoalok lal na fuhlella elan som in misla ac wangin ma koluk el oru nu sel? LEUM GOD Elan akinsewowoye kom ke ma kom oru nu sik misenge!
For who, when he will have found his enemy, will release him along a good path? So may the Lord repay you for this good turn, because you have acted on my behalf this day.
20 Inge nga etu suwohs lah kom ac fah tokosra fin Israel, ac tokosrai ac fah oanna ye koko lom.
And now I know certainly that you shall be king, and you shall have the kingdom of Israel in your hand.
21 Tusruktu wulema nu sik ke Inen LEUM GOD tuh kom fah tia kunausla fita luk, tuh inek ac inen sou luk fah tia mulkinyukla.”
Swear to me in the Lord that you will not take away my offspring after me, nor take away my name from the house of my father.”
22 David el wulela oana siyuk lal Saul. Na Saul el folok nu acn sel, ac David ac mwet lal som nu nien wikwik lalos.
And David swore to Saul. Therefore, Saul went away to his own house. And David and his men ascended to places that were more secure.
