Luo Samuel 15

1 Tukun ma inge Absalom el akoela chariot se ac horse ekasr nu sel sifacna, oayapa mwet lumngaul in atlol.

And after this Absalom began to furnish himself with a chariot and horses, and fifty men to run before him.

2 El ac toang tukakek ac som tu pe inkanek ah ke mutunpot lun siti ah. Na pacl nukewa mwet se fin tuku in fahkak sie fohs ku alein ma el lungse tuh tokosra elan aksuwosye, na Absalom el ac pangonma mwet sac ac siyuk lah el tuku ya me. Tukun mwet sac el fahk lah el tuku ke sruf ya me,

And Absalom used to get up early and stand beside the road. Then when anyone had a dispute which should come to the king for judgment, then Absalom would call out to him and say, "What city are you from?" When he said, "Your servant is from one of the tribes of Israel,"

3 na Absalom el ac fahk, “Liye, ma sap uh wi kom lac, tusruktu wangin aolyal tokosra in lohng ke tukak lom uh.”

then Absalom would say to him, "Look, your matters are good and right; but there is no one from the king to hear you."

4 Ac el ac sifilpa fahk, “Saok ngan mwet nununku se! Lukun kutena mwet su oasr amei ku tukak yorol, ku in tuku nu yuruk ac nga sang nununku suwohs nu sel.”

And Absalom would say, "Oh that I were made judge in the land, then anyone who had a dispute could come to me, and I would give him justice."

5 Mwet sac fin kalukyang nu yorol Absalom in srimi ye mutal, na Absalom el ac saplakot sruokilya ac ngokya mutal.

It was so, that when any man came near to do him obeisance, he would extend his hand and embrace him, and kiss him.

6 Absalom el oru ouinge nu sin mwet Israel nukewa su tuku nu yurin tokosra in suk nununku suwohs, ouinge mwet nukewa insewowo sel.

Absalom did this sort of thing to all Israel who came to the king for judgment. So Absalom stole the hearts of the men of Israel.

7 Tukun yac akosr Absalom el fahk nu sel Tokosra David, “Leum luk, lela ngan som nu Hebron, ac akfalye wulela se nga wuleang nu sin LEUM GOD kac.

It happened at the end of four years, that Absalom said to the king, "Please let me go and pay my vow, which I have vowed to YHWH, in Hebron.

8 Ke pacl se nga muta in acn Geshur in acn Syria, nga tuh wulela nu sin LEUM GOD mu El fin folokinyula nu Jerusalem, nga ac alu nu sel in acn Hebron.”

For your servant vowed a vow while I stayed at Geshur in Aram, saying, 'If YHWH will bring me back to Jerusalem, then I will serve YHWH in Hebron.'"

9 Na tokosra el fahk, “Fahsr in misla.” Ouinge Absalom el som nu Hebron.

The king said to him, "Go in peace." So he arose, and went to Hebron.

10 Tusruktu el supwala mwet utuk kas nu sin sruf nukewa Israel in fahk, “Pacl se kowos lohngak pusren mwe ukuk uh, kowos sala ac fahk, ‘Absalom el tokosrala in acn Hebron!’”

But Absalom sent spies throughout all the tribes of Israel, saying, "As soon as you hear the sound of the trumpet, then you shall say, 'Absalom is king in Hebron.'"

11 Absalom el tuh suli mwet luofoko in acn Jerusalem in welul som. Elos tiana etu ke pwapa lukma se el akoo — elos fahsrna ke sripen elos lulalfongel.

Two hundred men went with Absalom out of Jerusalem, who were invited, and went in their simplicity; and they did not know anything.

12 Ke pacl Absalom el oru kisa lal, el supwala pac mwet nu in acn Gilo elos in solal Ahithophel, su sie sin mwet pwapa fulat lal Tokosra David. Pwapa se lal Absalom in lain tokosra inge kui, ac pisen mwet lal yokyokelik.

And he sent and invited Ahithophel the Gilonite, David's counselor, from his city Giloh, where he was offering sacrifice. The conspiracy was strong, for the people increased continually with Absalom.

13 Sie mwet utuk kas el som fahk nu sel David, “Mwet Israel elos wulela lah elos ac welulla Absalom.”

A messenger came to David, saying, "The hearts of the men of Israel are after Absalom."

14 Ouinge David el fahk nu sin mwet pwapa nukewa lal su welul muta Jerusalem, “Kut enenu in som liki acn Jerusalem ingena, kut fin lungse kaingla lukel Absalom! Aksaye! El akura tuku nu inge, kutangkutla ac uniya mwet nukewa in siti uh!”

So David said to all his servants who were with him at Jerusalem, "Arise, and let us flee, otherwise none of us shall escape from Absalom. Go immediately, or else he will quickly overtake us and bring down the city on top of us, and strike the city with the edge of the sword."

15 Na elos fahk, “Aok, leum fulat lasr. Kut akola in oru ma nukewa kom fahk.”

Then the king's servants said to him, "Look, your servants are ready to do whatever the king chooses."

16 Na tokosra el mukuila wi sou lal nukewa, ac mwet pwapa lal, sayen mutan kulansap singoul kial ma el filiya in karingin lohm sin tokosra.

And the king went out with all his household following him. But the king left ten women, who were secondary wives, to take care of the palace.

17 Ke tokosra ac mwet lal nukewa som liki siti uh, elos tui ke lohm se safla.

So the king went out with all his servants following him, and they stopped at the last house.

18 Mwet pwapa lal nukewa elos tu siskal ke mwet mweun karinginyal elos fahsr ye mutal. Mwet mweun onfoko ma welulma liki acn Gath elos oayapa fahla ye mutal.

And all the people passed on before him. And all those with him, all the officers and warriors, were six hundred men, and they passed on before him. And when all the Cherethites and all the Pelethites and all the Gittites who followed him from Gath passed on before the king.

19 Ac tokosra el fahk nu sel Ittai, mwet kol lun mwet Gath inge, “Efu ku kom wi kut som? Folokla muta yurin tokosra sasu sac. Kom sie mwetsac ac kom kaingla liki facl sum sifacna.

Then the king said to Ittai the Gittite, "Why do you also go with us? Go back and stay with the king, for you are a foreigner and you also are an exile from your place.

20 Kom tufahna tuku muta yenu kitin pacl na, na efu ku ngan lela kom in wiyu forfor? Nga sifacna, nga tia etu lah nga ac som nu ya. Folokla, ac us mwet lom ingan in wi kom. Lela LEUM GOD Elan kulang ac pwaye nu suwos.”

You came only yesterday. Should I today make you wander about with us, since I go I know not where? Go back, and take your brothers with you, and may YHWH show you kindness and truth."

21 A Ittai el topuk, “Leum fulat, nga fulahk nu sum inen LEUM GOD lah yen nukewa kom forfor nu we, nga ac wi kom in pacl nukewa, finne nu ke misa.”

Ittai answered the king, and said, "As YHWH lives, and as my lord the king lives, surely in what place my lord shall be, whether for death or for life, even there also will your servant be."

22 David el topuk, “Wona. Fahsr nu meet!” Na Ittai el fahsr nu meet wi mwet lal ac sou lalos nukewa.

So David said to Ittai, "Go and pass over." Then Ittai passed over, and all his men, and all the little ones who were with him.

23 Mwet uh tung ma lulap ke David ac mwet lal ah som. Tokosra el tupalla Infacl srisrik Kidron, ac mwet lal elos fahsr tokol. Na elos tukeni oatula in som nu yen mwesis.

And all the land wept aloud as all the people crossed over. And the king crossed the Wadi Kidron, and all the people passed before him on the Olive road into the wilderness.

24 Zadok, mwet tol, el muta in acn sac, ac mwet Levi su us Tuptup in Wuleang elos muta pac yorol. Elos filiya tuptup sac ac tia sifil srukak nwe ke na mwet nukewa illa liki siti ah. Abiathar, mwet tol, el oasr pac we.

And look, Zadok also came (and all the Levites with him, bearing the ark of the covenant of YHWH) and Abiathar. And they set down the ark of God until all the people finished passing by from the city.

25 Na tokosra el fahk nu sel Zadok, “Folokunla Tuptup in Wuleang uh nu in siti uh. LEUM GOD El fin insewowo sik, El ac fah lela nga in foloko ac liye, oayapa liye acn oan we uh.

The king said to Zadok, "Return the ark of God to the city. If I find favor in the eyes of YHWH, he will bring me back and show me both it and his dwelling place;

26 A El fin tia insewowo sik, lela Elan oru nu sik fal nu ke lungse lal.”

but if he should say, 'I have no delight in you;' look, here I am. Let him do to me as seems good to him."

27 Na el sifilpa fahk nu sel Zadok, “Usalla Ahimaaz wen nutum, ac Jonathan wen natul Abiathar, ac folokla nu in siti ah in misla.

And the king said also to Zadok the priest, "Look, you return into the city in peace, and your two sons with you, Ahimaaz your son, and Jonathan the son of Abiathar.

28 A nga ac muta soanekom ke acn in tupalla infacl uh ke yen mwesis, nwe ke na nga eis kas sum me.”

Look, I will wait at the fords of the wilderness until word comes from you to inform me."

29 Ouinge Zadok ac Abiathar us Tuptup in Wuleang folokla nu in Jerusalem ac mutana we.

So Zadok and Abiathar carried the ark to Jerusalem and returned it there.

30 David el fahsryak nu Fineol Olive, ac el tung. El tia fahluk, ac el sunya sifal in akkalemye asor lal. Mwet nukewa su fahsr tokol elos afinya pac sifalos ac tung pac.

And David went up by the Ascent of the Olives, and wept as he went, and he had his head covered and went barefoot. And all the people who were with him covered their heads, and they went up weeping as they went.

31 Ke fwackyang nu sel David lah Ahithophel el welulla Absalom ac elos su lainul, el pre ac fahk, “O LEUM GOD, nunak munas oru tuh kas in kasru lal Ahithophel in ekla kas lusrongten!”

And it had been told to David, saying, "Ahithophel is among the conspirators with Absalom." David said, "YHWH, please turn the counsel of Ahithophel into foolishness."

32 Ke David el sun fin tohktok uh, acn se ma acn in alu se oan we, Hushai mwet Arch, kawuk se lal David su el lulalfongi yohk, el tuku sonol, ac nuknuk lal ah mihsalik, ac fohkfok oan fin sifal.

It happened that when David had come to the top, where God was worshiped, look, Hushai the Archite came to meet him with his coat torn, and earth on his head.

33 Ac David el fahk nu sel, “Kom ac fah tia mwe kasru nu sik kom fin wiyu inge.

David said to him, "If you pass on with me, then you will be a burden to me;

34 Tusruktu kom ku in kasreyu kom fin folokla nu in siti ah, ac fahk nu sel Absalom lah inge kom ac kulansupal ke insiom na pwaye, oana ke kom tuh kulansupu papa tumal. Ac oru ma nukewa kom ku in oru in lain kas in kasru lal Ahithophel nu sel.

but if you return to the city, and tell Absalom, 'Your brothers have left, O king, after your father left, and now I am your servant, O king. Allow me to live. As I have been your father's servant in the past, so now I am your servant,' then you will defeat for me the counsel of Ahithophel.

35 Mwet tol Zadok ac Abiathar eltal ac muta we. Fahkang nu seltal ma nukewa kom lohng in lohm sin tokosra ah.

And look, Zadok and Abiathar the priests will be there with you. So whatever you hear from the king's house you must tell it to Zadok and Abiathar the priests.

36 Wen natultal, Ahimaaz ac Jonathan, eltal oasr yoroltal, ac kom ku in supwaltalma nu yuruk in fahk nu sik ma nukewa ma kom lohng.”

Look, their two sons are with them there, Ahimaaz, Zadok's son, and Jonathan, Abiathar's son. And by them you must send to me everything that you hear."

37 Ouinge Hushai, kawuk lal David, el folok nu in siti ah, in pacl se na ma Absalom el utyak nu we.

So Hushai, David's friend, came into the city; and Absalom came into Jerusalem.
