Sie Samuel 30
1 Tukun len luo, David ac mwet lal elos sun acn Ziklag. Mwet Amalek elos mweuni acn eir in acn Judah, ac elos utyak tari nu Ziklag. Elos esukak acn we,
On the third day David and his men arrived in Ziklag, and the Amalekites had raided the Negev, attacked Ziklag, and burned it down.
2 ac sruokya mutan nukewa. Elos tia uniya kutena mwet, tusruk elos usla mwet nukewa welulos ke elos som liki acn we.
They had taken captive the women and all who were there, both young and old. They had not killed anyone, but had carried them off as they went on their way.
3 Ke David ac mwet lal tuku, elos liye tuh na siti sac firiryak, na sruhu ac utukla mutan kialos ac tulik natulos, mukul ac mutan.
When David and his men came to the city, they found it burned down and their wives and sons and daughters taken captive.
4 David ac mwet lal elos mutawauk in tung, ac elos tung nwe mas na.
So David and the troops with him lifted up their voices and wept until they had no strength left to weep.
5 Finne Ahinoam ac Abigail, su eltal mutan kial David, elos utukla pac.
David’s two wives, Ahinoam of Jezreel and Abigail the widow of Nabal of Carmel, had been taken captive.
6 David el muta in fosrnga lulap, mweyen mwet lal elos toasr na pwaye lah utukla tulik natulos, pwanang elos oru elos in tanglal David. Tusruktu David el ngetak nu sin LEUM GOD tuh Elan akkeyal.
And David was greatly distressed because the people spoke of stoning him, because the soul of every man grieved for his sons and daughters. But David found strength in the LORD his God.
7 David el fahk nu sin mwet tol Abiathar, wen natul Ahimelech, “Use nuknuk ephod lun mwet tol,” na Abiathar el use ac sang nu sel.
Then David said to Abiathar the priest, the son of Ahimelech, “Bring me the ephod.” So Abiathar brought it to him,
8 Na David el siyuk sin LEUM GOD, “Ya fal nga in som ukwe mwet su aklokoalokye kut? Nga ac ku in sruokolosi?” Na LEUM GOD El topuk, “Aok, ukwalos! Kom ac fah sruokolosi, ac kom fah molela mwet ma sruhu.”
and David inquired of the LORD: “Should I pursue these raiders? Will I overtake them?” “Pursue them,” the LORD replied, “for you will surely overtake them and rescue the captives.”
9 Ouinge David ac mwet onfoko lal elos som in ukwalos, ac ke elos sun Infacl srisrik Besor, kutu selos mutana we.
So David and his six hundred men went to the Brook of Besor, where some stayed behind
10 David ac mwet angfoko lal sifilpa som. Mwet luofoko saya elos arulana totola ac tia ku in wi tupalla Infacl soko ah, oru elos mutana tia wi som.
because two hundred men were too exhausted to cross the brook. But David and four hundred men continued in pursuit.
11 Mwet ma welul David elos konauk tulik mukul Egypt se yen mwesis ah, na elos usalu nu yorol David. Elos sang kutu bread nal ac kof nimal,
Now his men found an Egyptian in the field and brought him to David. They gave the man water to drink and food to eat—
12 ac fig paola, ac tun in grape pao luo. Ke el mongo tari na el kui. El tuh tia mongo ku nim ke lusen len tolu.
a piece of a fig cake and two clusters of raisins. So he ate and was revived, for he had not had any food or water for three days and three nights.
13 David el siyuk sel, “Ku su leum lom uh, ac kom mwet oya?” Tulik sac fahk nu sel, “Nga mwet Egypt. Nga mwet kohs lun sie mwet Amalek. Leum luk ah som likiyu len tolu lac pa inge, mweyen nga luman mas kutu.
Then David asked him, “To whom do you belong, and where are you from?” “I am an Egyptian,” he replied, “the slave of an Amalekite. My master abandoned me three days ago when I fell ill.
14 Kut tuh som mweuni acn lun mwet Chereth ma oan eir in acn Judah, oayapa acn lun mwet in sou lal Caleb, ac kut esukak pac acn Ziklag.”
We raided the Negev of the Cherethites, the territory of Judah, and the Negev of Caleb, and we burned down Ziklag.”
15 Na David el siyuk sel, “Kom ku in pwen kut nu yurin u se ingan?” Tulik sac topuk, “Aok, kom fin wulela nu sik ye mutun God lah kom ac tia uniyuwi, ku usyula nu yurin leum luk.”
“Will you lead me to these raiders?” David asked. And the man replied, “Swear to me by God that you will not kill me or deliver me into the hand of my master, and I will lead you to them.”
16 Ac el pwanul David nu yurin u se ma orek lokoalok. Mwet inge elos oalik acn se elos muta we ah. Elos mongo ac nimnim ac orek engan in akfulatye lah arulana pus ma elos sruokya in facl lun mwet Philistia ac Judah.
So he led David down, and there were the Amalekites spread out over all the land, eating, drinking, and celebrating the great amount of plunder they had taken from the land of the Philistines and the land of Judah.
17 Toang in len tok ah, David el mweun lainulos. El mweunelos nwe ke na ekela. Oasr mwet angfoko sroang nu fin camel natulos ac kaingla, a funu mwet nukewa saya uh elos tiana kaingla.
And David struck them down from twilight until the evening of the next day. Not a man escaped, except four hundred young men who fled, riding off on camels.
18 David el molela mwet nukewa ac ma nukewa ma mwet Amalek elos tuh usla, wi mutan luo kial sifacna.
So David recovered everything the Amalekites had taken, including his two wives.
19 Wangin ma tuhlac. David el folokonma tulik mukul ac tulik mutan nukewa nutin mwet lal ah, oayapa ma nukewa mwet Amalek elos tuh usla.
Nothing was missing, young or old, son or daughter, or any of the plunder the Amalekites had taken. David brought everything back.
20 El oayapa folokonma un sheep ac cow ma utukla. Mwet lal elos oru kosro inge fahsr meet lukelos, ac elos fahk, “Ma inge nukewa ma lal David!”
And he recovered all the flocks and herds, which his men drove ahead of the other livestock, calling out, “This is David’s plunder!”
21 Na David el folokla nu yurin mwet luofoko ma tuh mutana Infacl srisrik Besor ke sripen elos arulana munas ac kofla welul. Elos tuyak in osun nu sel ac mwet lal, ac David el paingulos ke kas kulang.
When David came to the two hundred men who had been too exhausted to follow him from the Brook of Besor, they came out to meet him and the troops with him. As David approached the men, he greeted them,
22 Tusruktu, kutu mukul srangesroa ac lusrongten sin mwet ma welul David som ah, elos fahk, “Mwet inge tiana wi kut som, na pa kut ac tiana sang nu selos ma kut eis inge. Elos in eis mutan kialos ac tulik natulos, ac fahla liki kut.”
but all the wicked and worthless men among those who had gone with David said, “Because they did not go with us, we will not share with them the plunder we recovered, except for each man’s wife and children. They may take them and go.”
23 A David el fahk, “Ma lik, kowos tia ku in oru ouinge nu ke ma LEUM GOD El ase nu sesr! El molikutla, ac El ase kutangla nu sesr fin mwet lokoalok lasr.
But David said, “My brothers, you must not do this with what the LORD has given us. He has protected us and delivered into our hands the raiders who came against us.
24 Wanginna mwet ku in insese nu ke ma kowos fahk inge! Mwet nukewa in eis oana sie. Ip se lun mwet su muta taran ma lasr, ac fah oana ip se lun mwet ma som wi mweun.”
Who will listen to your proposal? The share of the one who went to battle will match the share of the one who stayed with the supplies. They will share alike.”
25 David el oakiya ma sap se inge, ac mwet Israel elos fahsrna kac nwe misenge.
And so it has been from that day forward. David established this statute as an ordinance for Israel to this very day.
26 Ke David el folokla nu Ziklag, el supwala kutu ma wap inge nu sin mwet kawuk lal, su mwet kol in acn Judah, wi kas inge, “Mwe lung nu suwos inge, ma kut eisla sin mwet lokoalok lun LEUM GOD.”
When David arrived in Ziklag, he sent some of the plunder to his friends, the elders of Judah, saying, “Here is a gift for you from the plunder of the LORD’s enemies.”
27 El supu ma inge nu sin mwet su muta Bethel, ac mwet su muta Ramah su oan eir in Judah, ac nu sin mwet su muta Jattir,
He sent gifts to those in Bethel, Ramoth Negev, and Jattir;
28 Aroer, Siphmoth, Eshtemoa,
to those in Aroer, Siphmoth, and Eshtemoa;
29 ac Racal; ac nu sin sou lal Jerahmeel, ac nu sin mwet Ken,
to those in Racal and in the cities of the Jerahmeelites and Kenites;
30 ac nu sin mwet su muta in siti Hormah, Borashan, Athach,
to those in Hormah, Bor-ashan, and Athach;
31 ac Hebron. El supu ma inge nu in acn nukewa ma el, ac mwet lal, elos tuh fufahsryesr we.
and to those in Hebron and in all the places where David and his men had roamed.
