Luo Samuel 1
1 Tukun Saul el misa, David el foloko ke el tuh kutangla mwet Amalek, na el muta in acn Ziklag ke len luo.
After the death of Saul, when David had returned from the slaughter of the Amalekites, and David had stayed two days in Ziklag,
2 Ke len toko ah, mwet fusr se tuku liki nien aktuktuk lal Saul. El tuh seya nuknuk lal ac sang fohkfok nu fin sifal in akkalemye asor lal. El som nu yorol David ac srimi nwe infohk uh in akfulatyal.
on the third day, behold, a man came out of the camp from Saul, with his clothes torn and earth on his head. When he came to David, he fell to the earth and showed respect.
3 David el siyuk sel, “Kom tuku ya me?” El topuk, “Nga kaingla liki nien aktuktuk lun mwet Israel.”
David said to him, “Where do you come from?” He said to him, “I have escaped out of the camp of Israel.”
4 David el fahk, “Fahk nu sik lah mea sikyak.” Na el topuk, “Mwet mweun lasr ah kaingla liki mweun ah, ac pukanten mwet lasr anwuki. Saul ac Jonathan wen natul, wi pac misa.”
David said to him, “How did it go? Please tell me.” He answered, “The people have fled from the battle, and many of the people also have fallen and are dead. Saul and Jonathan his son are dead also.”
5 Na David el fahk, “Kom etu fuka lah Saul ac Jonathan misa?”
David said to the young man who told him, “How do you know that Saul and Jonathan his son are dead?”
6 El topuk, “Nga tuh muta Fineol Gilboa, ac nga liye ke Saul el fungyang nu fin osra natul ah, na chariot ac mwet kasrusr fin horse lun mwet lokoalok ah apkuranyang nu yorol.
The young man who told him said, “As I happened by chance on Mount Gilboa, behold, Saul was leaning on his spear; and behold, the chariots and the horsemen followed close behind him.
7 Na el forma twe liyeyuyak, ac el pangonyu. Na nga fahk, ‘Mea?’
When he looked behind him, he saw me and called to me. I answered, ‘Here I am.’
8 Na el siyuk lah su nga uh, na nga fahk lah nga mwet Amalek.
He said to me, ‘Who are you?’ I answered him, ‘I am an Amalekite.’
9 Na el fahk, ‘Fahsru ac uniyuwi! Nga arulana kineta, ac nga apkuran in misa.’
He said to me, ‘Please stand beside me, and kill me, for anguish has taken hold of me because my life lingers in me.’
10 Ouinge nga kalukyang nu yorol ac unilya, mweyen nga etu lah el ac na misa na el fin putatyang nu fac. Na nga eisla tefuro lal liki sifal, ac mwe naweyuk ke paol, pa nga use nu sum inge.”
So I stood beside him and killed him, because I was sure that he could not live after he had fallen. I took the crown that was on his head and the bracelet that was on his arm, and have brought them here to my lord.”
11 David el arulana asor ac seya nuknuk lal, ac mwet lal nukewa oru oapana.
Then David took hold on his clothes and tore them; and all the men who were with him did likewise.
12 Elos asor ac tung ac eoksra nwe ke ekela kacl Saul ac Jonathan, oayapa ke Israel, mwet lun LEUM GOD, mweyen arulana pukanten mwet anwuki ke mweun ah.
They mourned, wept, and fasted until evening for Saul and for Jonathan his son, and for the people of the LORD, and for the house of Israel, because they had fallen by the sword.
13 Na David el siyuk sin mwet fusr se su use pweng se inge nu sel, “Kom mwet ya?” El topuk, “Nga mwet Amalek, tusruktu nga muta facl sum uh.”
David said to the young man who told him, “Where are you from?” He answered, “I am the son of a foreigner, an Amalekite.”
14 David el siyuk sel, “Kom ku tia sangeng in uniya tokosra se su sulosolla sin LEUM GOD?”
David said to him, “Why were you not afraid to stretch out your hand to destroy the LORD’s anointed?”
15 Na David el pangonma sie mwet lal ac fahk, “Unilya!” Ac mwet sac sringilya mwet Amalek sac, ac el misa.
David called one of the young men and said, “Go near, and cut him down!” He struck him so that he died.
16 Ac David el fahk nu sin mwet Amalek sac, “Misa lom ma sum sifacna. Kom sifacna sot mwatum ke kom fahkak lah pwaye kom uniya sie su LEUM GOD El sulela in tokosra.”
David said to him, “Your blood be on your head, for your mouth has testified against you, saying, ‘I have slain the LORD’s anointed.’”
17 David el onkakin on in eoksra se inge kacl Saul ac Jonathan,
David lamented with this lamentation over Saul and over Jonathan his son
18 ac el sapkin in lutiyuk nu sin mwet Judah. (Simla tari in [Book in Jashar].)
(and he commanded them to teach the children of Judah the song of the bow; behold, it is written in the book of Jashar):
19 “Fin tohktok lun Israel, mwet kol lasr misa we! Mwet mweun pulaiklana lasr elos ikori we!
“Your glory, Israel, was slain on your high places! How the mighty have fallen!
20 Nimet fahkak nu in acn Gath, Ku ke inkanek in Ashkelon. Nimet oru tuh mutan Philistia in pwar; Nimet lela tuh an nutin mwet pegan in enganak.
Don’t tell it in Gath. Don’t publish it in the streets of Ashkelon, lest the daughters of the Philistines rejoice, lest the daughters of the uncircumcised triumph.
21 “Lela in wangin af ku aunfong putat nu fin tohktok Gilboa; Lela in wangin fokin ima we pacl nukewa! Mwe mwekin se lah mwe loang lun mwet pulaik lasr in oan we; Mwe loang lal Saul tia sifil mosrweyuk.
You mountains of Gilboa, let there be no dew or rain on you, and no fields of offerings; for there the shield of the mighty was defiled and cast away, the shield of Saul was not anointed with oil.
22 Pisr natul Jonathan uniya mwet lokoalok puspis, Osra natul Saul tia etu pakoten — Sringilya mwet fokoko, ac uniya mwet lokoalok.
From the blood of the slain, from the fat of the mighty, Jonathan’s bow didn’t turn back. Saul’s sword didn’t return empty.
23 “Saul ac Jonathan, wolana ac saok; Tukeni ke moul, tukeni ke misa; Mui liki eagle, fokoko liki lion.
Saul and Jonathan were lovely and pleasant in their lives. In their death, they were not divided. They were swifter than eagles. They were stronger than lions.
24 “Mutan Israel, kowos in mwemelil kacl Saul! El nukumkowosyang ke nuknuk srusra yohk molo, Ac nawekowos ke mwe yun ac gold.
You daughters of Israel, weep over Saul, who clothed you delicately in scarlet, who put ornaments of gold on your clothing.
25 “Mwet mweun pulaik ikori tari, Anwuki elos ke mweun. Jonathan el misa oan fin tohktok uh.
How the mighty have fallen in the middle of the battle! Jonathan was slain on your high places.
26 “Nga arulana asor keim, Jonathan, ma lik; Kom tuh arulana saok sik! Fuka lupan woiyen lungse lom nu sik, Wo liki lungse lun sie mutan.
I am distressed for you, my brother Jonathan. You have been very pleasant to me. Your love to me was wonderful, surpassing the love of women.
27 “Mwet mweun pulaik ikori tari, Mwe mweun natulos sisila ac wanginla sripa.”
How the mighty have fallen, and the weapons of war have perished!”
