Luo Samuel 16
1 Ke David el fahsr sasla mangon tohktok uh, el sa na sonol Ziba, mwet kulansap lal Mephibosheth. Ziba el us donkey lukwa nwanala fintokoltal ke bread luofoko, tun in raisin siofok, ung in fokinsak siofok, ac sie pak orekla ke kulun kosro sessesla ke wain.
And when David had gone a little way past the top of the slope, Ziba, the servant of Mephibosheth, came to him, with two asses on which were two hundred cakes of bread and a hundred stems of dry grapes and a hundred summer fruits and a skin of wine.
2 Tokosra David el siyuk sel, “Mea kom ac oru ke ma ingan uh?” Ziba el fahk, “Leum luk, donkey inge ma kom ac sou lom an in kasrusr fac, na bread ac fokinsak inge ma mwet uh in kang, ac wain uh ma elos in nim ke elos ac totola yen mwesis.”
And David said to Ziba, What is your reason for this? And Ziba said, The asses are for the use of the king's people, and the bread and the fruit are food for the young men; and the wine is for drink for those who are overcome by weariness in the waste land.
3 Na tokosra el siyuk sel, “El aya Mephibosheth, wen se nutin natul Saul, leum lom?” Ac Ziba el fahk, “El muta oasr Jerusalem, mweyen oasr lulalfongi lal mu inge mwet Israel elos ac folokonang nu sel tokosrai lal Saul, papa matu tumal.”
And the king said, And where is your master's son? And Ziba said, He is still at Jerusalem: for he said, Today Israel will give back to me the kingdom of my father.
4 Tokosra el fahk nu sel Ziba, “Ma nukewa su ma lal Mephibosheth, inge ma lom.” Ac Ziba el fahk, “Nga mwet kulansap lom, leum fulat luk, ac nga finsrak nga in akinsewowoye kom in pacl nukewa!”
Then the king said to Ziba, Truly everything which was Mephibosheth's is yours. And Ziba said, I give honour to my lord, may I have grace in your eyes, my lord, O king!
5 Ke Tokosra David el sun acn Bahurim, sie mwet in sou lal Saul, su inel Shimei wen natul Gera, el illa in osun nu sel. El selngawel David ke el fahsr.
And when King David came to Bahurim, a man of Saul's family named Shimei, the son of Gera, came out from there, calling curses after him.
6 Shimei el mutawauk tanglal David ac mwet pwapa lal ah, David el ne kuhlusyukla ke mwet lal ac mwet mweun karinginyal.
And he sent stones at David and at all the king's servants and at all the people and at all the men of war by his side, on the right hand and on the left.
7 Shimei el selngawel ac fahk, “Tiok! Fahsrot! Kom mwet akmas! Kom mwet koluk!
And Shimei said, with curses, Be gone, be gone, you man of blood, you good-for-nothing:
8 Kom eisla tokosrai lal Saul, ac inge LEUM GOD El kai kom mweyen kom uniya mwet pukanten in sou lal Saul. LEUM GOD El sang tokosrai nu sel Absalom, wen nutum. Inge wanginla sripom, mweyen kom sie mwet akmas!”
The Lord has sent punishment on you for all the blood of the family of Saul, whose kingdom you have taken; and the Lord has given the kingdom to Absalom, your son: now you yourself are taken in your evil, because you are a man of blood.
9 Abishai, su nina kial pa Zeruiah, el fahk nu sel tokosra, “Leum luk, efu kom ku lela kosro ngalngul soko ingan in selngawi kom? Lela ngan fahla pakela sifal!”
Then Abishai, the son of Zeruiah, said to the king, Is this dead dog to go on cursing my lord the king? let me go over and take off his head.
10 Tokosra el fahk nu sel Abishai ac Joab, tamulel lal, “Wangin ma lomtal ke ma se inge. El fin selngawiyu mweyen LEUM GOD El sap elan oru, na su ku in siyuk lah efu ku el oru?”
And the king said, What have I to do with you, you sons of Zeruiah? Let him go on cursing, for the Lord has said, Put a curse on David, and who then may say, Why have you done so?
11 Ac David el fahk nu sel Abishai ac mwet pwapa nukewa lal, “Wen nutik sifacna el srike elan uniyuwi, na efu kowos ku lut ke mwet Benjamin se inge? LEUM GOD El fahk tuh elan selnga, na pa lela elan oru.
And David said to Abishai and to all his servants, You see how my son, the offspring of my body, has made designs against my life: how much more then may this Benjamite do so? Let him be, and let him go on cursing; for the Lord has given him orders.
12 Sahp LEUM GOD El ac liye keok luk, ac ase kutu mwe insewowo in sang aol kas in selnga lal uh.”
It may be that the Lord will take note of my wrongs, and give me back good in answer to his cursing of me today.
13 Ouinge David ac mwet lal elos sifil fahsr inkanek lalos. Shimei el ukwalos na fahsr, tuh el ut pe eol uh. El fahsr na selngawelos ac tanglalos ke eot ac fohk.
So David and his men went on their way: and Shimei went by the hillside parallel with them, cursing and sending stones and dust at him.
14 Tokosra ac mwet lal nukewa arulana totola ke elos sun Infacl Jordan, na elos mongla we.
And the king and his people came tired to Jordan, and took their rest there.
15 Absalom ac mwet Israel nukewa ma welul elos utyak nu Jerusalem, ac Ahithophel el welulos.
And Absalom and the men of Israel came to Jerusalem, and Ahithophel was with him.
16 Ke Hushai, kawuk se su David el lulalfongi, el osun nu sel Absalom, el wowoyak ac fahk, “In paht moul lal tokosra! In paht moul lal tokosra!”
Then Hushai the Archite, David's friend, came to Absalom and said, Long life to the king, long life to the king!
17 Na Absalom el siyuk sel, “Mea sis kom tila insese nu sel David, mwet kawuk lom? Efu ku kom tia welul?”
And Absalom said, Is this your love for your friend? why did you not go with your friend?
18 Hushai el topuk, “Nga ac welul fuka? Nga ac wi na mwet se su suleyukla sin LEUM GOD ac sin mwet inge ac mwet Israel nukewa. Nga ac wi kom na.
And Hushai said to Absalom, Not so; I am for that man whom the Lord and this people and all the men of Israel have taken as king, and I will take my place with him.
19 Ku su win ngan orekma nu se, fin tia wen nutin leum luk uh? Inge, nga fah kulansupwekom oana nga tuh kulansupu papa tomom meet.”
And more than this! where is my place as a servant? is it not before his son? as I have been your father's servant, so will I be yours.
20 Na Absalom el forang nu sel Ahithophel ac siyuk sel, “Inge ke kut sun acn inge, mea kom nunku mu fal kut in oru?”
Then Absalom said to Ahithophel, Give your opinion now, what are we to do?
21 Na Ahithophel el fahk, “Fahla orek kosro nu sin mutan kulansap kien papa tomom, su el tuh filiya in liyaung lohm sin tokosra. Na mwet Israel nukewa ac fah etu lah papa tomom el nunku keim oana sie mwet lokoalok lal, ac ma se inge ac fah arulana akkeye insien mwet su fahsr tukum inge.”
And Ahithophel said to Absalom, Go in to your father's women who are here looking after his house; then all Israel will have the news that you are hated by your father, and the hands of your supporters will be strong.
22 Ouinge elos tulokunak sie lohm nuknuk nu sel Absalom fin lohm sin tokosra. Na mwet nukewa liye na ke Absalom el utyak ac orek kosro nu sin mutan kulansap kien papa tumal ah.
So they put up the tent for Absalom on the top of the house, and Absalom went in to his father's women before the eyes of all Israel.
23 Kas in kasru nukewa su tuku sel Ahithophel in len ingo, mwet uh insese nu kac oana in ma tuku sin God me. David ac Absalom eltal tukeni na fahsr kac.
In those days the opinions of Ahithophel were valued as highly as if through him a man might get direction from God; so were they valued by David as much as by Absalom.
