Luo Samuel 10
1 Kutu pacl tok, Tokosra Nahash lun Ammon el misa, ac Hanun wen natul, el tokosrala.
And it came to pass after this that the king of the children of Ammon died, and Annon his son reigned in 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,
And David said, I will shew mercy to Annon the son of Naas, as his father dealt mercifully with me. And David sent to comfort him concerning his father by the hand of his servants; and the servants of David came into the land of the children of Ammon.
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 supwaltalma in tuh tuni siti uh, elan mau ku in eisla sesr!”
And the princes of the children of Ammon said to Annon their lord, [Is it] to honour thy father before thee that David has sent comforters to thee? Has not David rather sent his servants to thee that they should search the city, and spy it out and examine it?
4 Na Hanun el sruokya mwet utuk kas lal David, ac resaela alut lalos, ac wotela nuknuk lalos ah ke finyepalos, ac supwalosla.
And Annon took the servants of David, and shaved their beards, and cut off their garments in the midst as far as their haunches, 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 they brought David word concerning the men; and he sent to meet them, for the men were greatly dishonoured: and the king said, Remain in Jericho till your beards have grown, and [then] ye shall return.
6 Ke mwet Ammon elos akilen lah elos sifacna oru tuh David elan mwet lokoalokla lalos, na elos som moli longoul tausin mwet mweun Syria in acn Bethrehob ac Zobah, ac singoul luo tausin mwet Tob, oayapa tokosra lun Maacah wi sie tausin mwet.
And the children of Ammon saw that the people of David were ashamed; and the children of Ammon sent, and hired the Syrians of Baethraam, and the Syrians of Suba, and Roob, twenty thousand footmen, and the king of Amalec with a thousand men, and Istob with twelve thousand men.
7 David el lohngak, na el supwalla Joab ac un mwet mweun lal nukewa.
And David heard, and sent Joab and all his host, [even] the mighty men.
8 Mwet Ammon elos fahsr som nu ke nien utyak nu Rabbah, siti fulat lalos, ac tu na akola we. Mwet nukewa saya — mwet Syria, mwet Tob, ac mwet Maacah — elos som nu yen turangang ac akola pac in mweun we.
And the children of Ammon went forth, and set the battle in array by the door of the gate: [those] of Syria, Suba, and Roob, and Istob, and Amalec, being by themselves in the field.
9 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.
And Joab saw that the front of the battle was against him from that which was opposed in front and from behind, and he chose out [some] of all the young men of Israel, and they set themselves in array against Syria.
10 Ac el sang Abishai, tamulel lal, in kol mwet mweun lula nukewa, na Abishai el oakelosi in lain mwet Ammon.
And the rest of the people he gave into the hand of Abessa his brother, and they set the battle in array opposite to the children of Ammon.
11 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 Syria be too strong for me, then shall ye help me: and if the children of Ammon be too strong for thee, then will we be ready to help thee.
12 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 thou courageous, and let us be strong for our people, and for the sake of the cities of our God, and the Lord shall do that which is good in his eyes.
13 Joab ac mwet lal elos fahsryak nu ke mweun, ac mwet Syria elos kaing.
And Joab and his people with him advanced to battle against Syria, and they fled from before him.
14 Ke mwet Ammon elos liye lah mwet Syria kaing, na elos kaingla lukel Abishai, ac foloki nu in siti uh. Na Joab el forla sisla mweun lal yurin mwet Ammon, ac folokla nu Jerusalem.
And the children of Ammon saw that the Syrians were fled, and they fled from before Abessa, and entered into the city: and Joab returned from the children of Ammon, and came to Jerusalem.
15 Mwet Syria elos akilen lah mwet Israel elos kutangulosla, na elos pangoneni mwet mweun lalos nukewa nu sie.
And the Syrians saw that they were worsted before Israel, and they gathered themselves together.
16 Tokosra Hadadezer el sapla nu sin mwet Syria su muta layen kutulap in Infacl Euphrates, ac elos tuku nu Helam, ye kolyuk lal Shobach, captain lun un mwet mweun lal Tokosra Hadadezer lun Zobah.
And Adraazar sent and gathered the Syrians from the other side of the river Chalamak, and they came to Aelam; and Sobac the captain of the host of Adraazar [was] at their head.
17 Ke David el lohngak ma inge, el orani mwet mweun lun Israel ac tupalla Infacl Jordan ac som nu Helam, yen mwet Syria elos akola soanel we. Mweun uh mutawauk,
And it was reported to David, and he gathered all Israel, and went over Jordan, and came to Aelam: and the Syrians set the battle in array against David, and fought with him.
18 na mwet Israel elos ukwauk mwet mweun Syria. David ac mwet lal ah uniya mwet itfoko su kasrusr ke chariot, ac angngaul tausin mwet kasrusr fin horse, ac elos kantelya Shobach, captain lun un mwet mweun su lainulos, ac el misa na yen mweun ah orek we.
And Syria fled from before Israel, and David destroyed of Syria seven hundred chariots, and forty thousand horsemen, and he smote Sobac the captain of his host, and he died there.
19 Ke tokosra ekasr su fahsr tokol Hadadezer elos akilen lah kutangyukla elos, na elos orek misla yurin mwet Israel, ac mutawauk orekma nu selos. Ac mwet Syria elos sangeng in sifilpa kasru mwet Ammon.
And all the kings the servants of Adraazar saw that they were put to the worse before Israel, and they went over to Israel, and served them: and Syria was afraid to help the children of Ammon any more.
