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 it came to pass, when Saul was returned from following the Philistines, that it was told him, saying, Behold, David is in the wilderness 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.
Then Saul took three thousand chosen men out of all Israel, and went to seek David and his men on the rocks of the wild 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 came to the sheepcotes by the way, where was a cave; and Saul went in to cover his feet: and David and his men remained in the sides 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 men of David said to him, Behold the day of which the LORD said to you, Behold, I will deliver your enemy into your hand, that you may do to him as it shall seem good to you. Then David arose, and cut off the skirt of Saul’s robe privately.
5 Na toko, David el mutawauk in auli insial,
And it came to pass afterward, that David’s heart smote him, because he had cut off Saul’s skirt.
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, The LORD forbid that I should do this thing to my master, the LORD’s anointed, to stretch forth my hand against him, seeing he is the anointed 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.
So David stayed his servants with these words, and suffered them not to rise against Saul. But Saul rose up out of the cave, and went on his way.
8 Na David el illa tokol ac pangnol, “Tokosra, leum luk!” Na Saul el tapulla, ac David el srimi nwe ten in akfulatyal.
David also arose afterward, and went out of the cave, and cried after Saul, saying, My lord the king. And when Saul looked behind him, David stooped with his face to the earth, and bowed himself.
9 David el fahk, “Efu ku kom lohng kas lun mwet uh ke elos fahk mu nga suk kom in akkolukye moul lom?
And David said to Saul, Why hear you men’s words, saying, Behold, David seeks your hurt?
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 how that the LORD had delivered you to day into my hand in the cave: and some bade me kill you: but my eye spared you; and I said, I will not put forth my hand against my lord; for he is the LORD’s anointed.
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, my father, see, yes, see the skirt of your robe in my hand: for in that I cut off the skirt of your robe, and killed you not, know you and see that there is neither evil nor transgression in my hand, and I have not sinned against you; yet you hunt my soul to take it.
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.
The LORD judge between me and you, and the LORD avenge me of you: but my hand shall not be on 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.
As says the proverb of the ancients, Wickedness proceeds from the wicked: but my hand shall not be on 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!
After whom is the king of Israel come out? after whom do you pursue? after a dead dog, after a 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.”
The LORD therefore be judge, and judge between me and you, and see, and plead my cause, and deliver me out of 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 it came to pass, when David had made an end of speaking these words to Saul, that Saul said, Is this your voice, my son David? And Saul lifted up his voice, and 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 righteous than I: for you have rewarded me good, whereas I have rewarded you evil.
18 Misenge kom akkalemye wo lom nu sik, ke kom tia uniyuwi, LEUM GOD El finne eisyuwot nu inpoum.
And you have showed this day how that you have dealt well with me: for as much as when the LORD had delivered me into your hand, you killed me not.
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 if a man find his enemy, will he let him go well away? why the LORD reward you good for that you have done to me this day.
20 Inge nga etu suwohs lah kom ac fah tokosra fin Israel, ac tokosrai ac fah oanna ye koko lom.
And now, behold, I know well that you shall surely be king, and that the kingdom of Israel shall be established 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 now therefore to me by the LORD, that you will not cut off my seed after me, and that you will not destroy my name out of my father’s house.
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. And Saul went home; but David and his men got them up to the hold.
