Luo Samuel 15
1 Tukun ma inge Absalom el akoela chariot se ac horse ekasr nu sel sifacna, oayapa mwet lumngaul in atlol.
It came about after this that Absalom prepared a chariot and horses for himself, with 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,
Absalom would get up early and stand beside the road leading to the city gate. When any man had a dispute to come to the king for judgment, Absalom called to him and said, “From what city have you come?” Then the man would answer, “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.”
So Absalom would say to him, “Look, your case is good and right, but there is no one empowered by the king to hear your case.”
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.”
Absalom added, “I wish that I were made judge in the land, so that every man who had any dispute or cause might come to me, and I would bring him justice!”
5 Mwet sac fin kalukyang nu yorol Absalom in srimi ye mutal, na Absalom el ac saplakot sruokilya ac ngokya mutal.
So it came about that when any man came to Absalom to honor him, Absalom would put out his hand and take hold of 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 acted in this way 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 came about at the end of four years that Absalom said to the king, “Please let me go and pay a vow that I have made to Yahweh 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 made a vow while I was living at Geshur in Aram, saying,' If Yahweh will indeed bring me again to Jerusalem, then I will worship Yahweh.'”
9 Na tokosra el fahk, “Fahsr in misla.” Ouinge Absalom el som nu Hebron.
So the king said to him, “Go in peace.” So Absalom 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 then Absalom sent spies throughout all the tribes of Israel, saying, “As soon as you hear the sound of the trumpet, then you must 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.
With Absalom went two hundred men from Jerusalem, who were invited. They went in their innocence, not knowing anything that Absalom had planned.
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.
While Absalom offered sacrfices, he sent for Ahithophel from his hometown of Giloh. He was David's counselor. Absalom's conspiracy was strong, for the people following Absalom were constantly increasing.
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 following 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, or none of us will escape from Absalom. Prepare to leave immediately, or he will quickly overtake us, and he will bring down disaster on us and attack the city with the edge of the sword.”
15 Na elos fahk, “Aok, leum fulat lasr. Kut akola in oru ma nukewa kom fahk.”
The king's servants said to the king, “Look, your servants are ready to do whatever our master the king decides.”
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.
The king left and all his family after him, but the king left ten women, who were concubines, to keep the palace.
17 Ke tokosra ac mwet lal nukewa som liki siti uh, elos tui ke lohm se safla.
After the king went out and all the people after him, 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.
All his army marched with him, and before him went all the Kerethites, and all the Pelethites, and all the Gittites—six hundred men who had followed him from Gath.
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 will you come with us? Return and stay with the king, for you are a foreigner and an exile. Return to your own 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.”
Since you just left yesterday, why should I make you wander all over with us? I do not even know where I am going. So return and take your fellow countrymen back. May loyalty and faithfulness go with you.”
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.”
But Ittai answered the king and said, “As Yahweh lives, and as my master the king lives, surely in whatever place where my master the king goes, there also will your servant go, whether that means living or dying.”
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 ahead and continue with us.” So Ittai the Gittite marched with the king, along with all his men and all the families 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.
All the country wept with a loud voice as all the people passed by over the Kidron Valley, and as the king also himself crossed over. All the people traveled on the road toward 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.
Even Zadok with all the Levites, carrying the ark of the covenant of God, were present. They set the ark of God down, and then Abiathar joined them. They waited until all the people had passed by out of 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, “Carry the ark of God back into the city. If I find favor in the eyes of Yahweh, he will bring me back here and show me again the ark and the place where he lives.
26 A El fin tia insewowo sik, lela Elan oru nu sik fal nu ke lungse lal.”
But if he says, 'I am not pleased with you,' look, here am I, let him do to me whatever 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.
The king also said to Zadok the priest, “Are you not a seer? Return into the city in peace, and your two sons with you, Ahimaaz your son, and Jonathan 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.”
See, I will wait at the fords of the Arabah 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 of God back into Jerusalem, and they stayed 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.
But David ascended barefoot and weeping up the Mount of Olives, and he had his head covered. Every man of the people who were with him covered his head, and they went up weeping as they walked.
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!”
Someone told David saying, “Ahithophel is among the conspirators with Absalom.” So David prayed, “O Yahweh, please turn Ahithophel's advice 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 came about that when David arrived at the top of the road, where God used to be worshiped, Hushai the Arkite 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 travel 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 say to Absalom, 'I will be your servant, king, as I have been your father's servant in time past, so will I now be your servant,' then you will confuse Ahithophel's advice for me.
35 Mwet tol Zadok ac Abiathar eltal ac muta we. Fahkang nu seltal ma nukewa kom lohng in lohm sin tokosra ah.
Will you not have the priests Zadok and Abiathar with you? So whatever you hear in the king's palace, 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.”
See that they have there with them their two sons, Ahimaaz, Zadok's son, and Jonathan, Abiathar's son. You must send to me by their hand 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 as Absalom arrived and entered into Jerusalem.
