Luo Samuel 19

1 Fwackyang nu sel Joab lah Tokosra David el tung ac arulana asor kacl Absalom.

It was told Joab, "Look, the king weeps and mourns for Absalom."

2 Ke ma inge, enganak lun mwet mweun nukewa lal David ke sripen kutangla lalos in len sac, ekla nu ke asor ac supwar, mweyen elos lohng lah tokosra el arulana asor ke wen natul.

The victory that day was turned into mourning to all the people; for the people heard it said that day, "The king grieves for his son."

3 Elos mahsrikyak nu in siti ah, oana luman mwet mweun su ac mwekin elos fin kaing liki mweun uh.

So the people went quietly into the city that day, the way that people who are humiliated creep away when fleeing in battle.

4 Tokosra el nokomla mutal ac tung ke pusra lulap, “We, wen nutik! Wen nutik, Absalom! Absalom nutik!”

The king covered his face, and he cried with a loud voice, "My son Absalom, Absalom, my son."

5 Joab el som nu lohm sin tokosra ac fahk nu sel, “Misenge kom arulana akmwekinye mwet lom, aok elos su tuh molikomla oayapa molela wen nutum, acn nutum, mutan kiom ac mutan kulansap kiom.

Then Joab went into the house to the king, and said, "Today you have humiliated the faces of all your servants, who have this day saved your life and the lives of your sons and of your daughters and the lives of your wives and the lives of your secondary wives;

6 Kom lain mwet su lungse kom, ac akkeye mwet su srungekom! Kom arulana akkalemye lah mwet pwapa lom ac mwet mweun lom wangin sripalos nu sum. Nga liye tuh kom lukun arulana engan misenge funu Absalom pa moul a kut nukewa misa.

by loving those who hate you and hating those who love you. For you have made it clear today that commanders and servants are nothing to you. For you know that if Absalom were alive today, and all of us had died, then you would be pleased.

7 Inge, fahla ac sang kutu kas in akkeye insien mwet lom an. Nga fulahk Inen LEUM GOD lah kom fin tia oru, na lututang wangin siefanna selos ac fah wi kom. Ma koluk se inge ac tuh alukela ma koluk nukewa ma sikyak nu sum in pacl oemeet me nu misenge.”

Now therefore get up, go out and speak kindly to your servants. For I swear by the LORD, if you do not go out, not a man will remain with you this night, and that will be worse for you than all the evil that has happened to you from your youth until now."

8 Na tokosra el tukakek ac som muta apkuran nu ke mutunpot in siti ah. Mwet lal ah lohngak lah el oasr we, na elos nukewa som muta yorol. In pacl se ingan, mwet Israel nukewa folokla tari nu yen selos kais sie.

So the king got up and sat at the gate. And all the people were informed, saying, "Look, the king is sitting at the gate." And all the people came before the king. Meanwhile, Israel had fled each man to his tent.

9 In facl sac nufon elos mutawauk akukuin inmasrlolos sifacna ac fahk, “Tokosra David el molikutla liki mwet lokoalok lasr. El loangekutla liki mwet Philistia, a inge el kaingla lukel Absalom ac som liki facl se inge.

All the people were at strife throughout all the tribes of Israel, saying, "The king delivered us out of the hand of our enemies, and he saved us out of the hand of the Philistines, but now he has fled from the land and from being over his kingdom.

10 Kut tuh mosrwella Absalom elan tokosra lasr, a anwuki el ke mweun. Na efu ku wangin mwet som srike in folokunulma Tokosra David?”

And Absalom, whom we anointed over us, is dead in battle. Now therefore why do you not speak a word of bringing the king back?" And the talk of all Israel came to the king.

11 Pweng ke ma mwet Israel elos fahk inge sonol Tokosra David, na el supwalla Zadok mwet tol, ac Abiathar in siyuk sin mwet kol lun Judah, “Efu ku in kowos pa etok in folokunulla tokosra nu in lohm sel?

So king David sent to Zadok and to Abiathar the priests, saying, "Speak to the elders of Judah, saying, 'Why are you the last to bring the king back to his palace?

12 Kowos sou luk. Kut srah sefanna ac ikwa sefanna. Efu ku in tuh kowos pa etok in folokinyume an?”

You are my brothers, you are my bone and my flesh. Why then are you the last to bring back the king?'

13 David el oayapa sap elos in fahk nu sel Amasa, “Kom sou luk. Nga sulekomla in aolulla Joab kol mwet mweun luk ingela. Lela LEUM GOD Elan sringilyuwi ngan misa, nga fin tia oru oana nga fahk uh!”

And say to Amasa, 'Aren't you my bone and my flesh? Now then, God do so to me, and more also, if you aren't commander of the army before me continually in place of Joab. '"

14 Mwet Judah nukewa elos arulana insewowo ke kas lal David inge, ac elos sapla nu yorol elan foloko wi mwet pwapa lal nukewa.

Thus the heart of all the men of Judah was inclined as one man, so that they sent a message to the king, "Return, you and all your servants."

15 Ke tokosra el folok ah, mwet Judah elos tuku sonol ke Infacl Jordan. Elos tuh tuku nu Gilgal in atlol ke el tupalla infacl ah.

So the king returned and came to the Jordan. And Judah came to Gilgal, having come down to meet the king, to bring the king across the Jordan.

16 In pacl sacna, Shimei mwet Benjamin, su wen natul Gera mwet Bahurim, el sulaklak som nu Infacl Jordan in osun nu sel David.

And Shimei the son of Gera, the Benjamite who was from Bahurim, hurried and came down with the men of Judah to meet king David,

17 El us sie tausin mwet in sruf lal Benjamin welul. Ac Ziba, mwet kulansap lun sou lal Saul, el oayapa tuku wi wen singoul limekosr natul ac longoul mwet kulansap, ac elos sun Infacl Jordan meet liki tokosra.

and a thousand men from Benjamin with him. But Ziba the servant of the house of Saul, and his fifteen sons and his twenty servants with him, waded through the Jordan ahead of the king,

18 Elos tupalla infacl ah in atlol tokosra ac sou lal ah, ac in oru ma nukewa ma tokosra el ac lungse elos in oru. Ke tokosra el akola elan tupalla infacl ah, Shimei el putati nu infohk uh ye mutal,

and did the work of bringing the king across and to do whatever he wished. And Shimei the son of Gera fell down before the king, when he crossed the Jordan.

19 ac fahk, “Leum luk, nunak munas mulkunla ma koluk nga orala ke len se kom tuh som liki Jerusalem. Nimet nununkeyu, ku sifil nunku kac.

Then he said to the king, "May my lord not consider punishment. Do not remember what your servant did wrong on the day when my lord the king left Jerusalem, so that the king should call it to mind.

20 Nga sifacna etu lah nga orala ma koluk se, pa sis nga pa mwet se emeet sin sruf in acn epang in tuku osun nu sum misenge.”

For your servant knows that I have sinned. Therefore, look, I have come today the first of all the house of Joseph to come down to meet my lord the king."

21 Abishai, wen natul Zeruiah, el kasla fahk mu, “Fal in anwuki Shimei, mweyen el tuh selngawi el su LEUM GOD El sulela tuh elan tokosra.”

But Abishai the son of Zeruiah replied, "Should not Shimei be put to death for this, because he cursed the LORD's anointed?"

22 Tusruktu David el fahk nu sel Abishai ac Joab, tamulel lal ah, “Su siyuk nunak lomtal an? Ya komtal ac orek lokoalok nu sik? Inge nga pa tokosra lun Israel, na wangin mwet Israel ac fah anwuki misenge.”

But David replied, "What does this have to do with you, you sons of Zeruiah, that you should become my adversaries today? Should anyone be put to death in Israel today? For do you not know that today I begin to rule over Israel?"

23 Na el fahk nu sel Shimei, “Nga wuleot nu sum lah kom ac fah tia anwuki.”

Then the king said to Shimei, "You will not die." And the king gave him his oath.

24 Na Mephibosheth, wen nutin natul Saul, el tufokla in osun nu sin tokosra. El tuh tiana olla nial, ku nawela alut lal, ku olla nuknuk lal ah oe ke pacl se tokosra el som liki acn Jerusalem nwe ke el kutangla foloko.

Now Mippibaal son of Jonathan son of Saul came down to meet the king, and he had neither cared for his feet nor trimmed his beard nor washed his clothes, from the day the king departed until the day he came back safely.

25 Ke Mephibosheth el tuku liki acn Jerusalem in osun nu sin tokosra, na tokosra el fahk nu sel, “Mephibosheth, kom tuh tia wiyu som. Efu?”

And it happened when he came to Jerusalem to meet the king, that the king said to him, "Why did you not go with me, Mippibaal?"

26 El topuk, “Leum luk, kom kalem kac lah nga mwet ul se. Nga tuh fahkang nu sin mwet kulansap luk elan akoela donkey nutik ah ngan kasrusr fac wikomla, tuh el tiana orala.

So he answered, "My lord king, my servant deceived me. For your servant said to him, 'Saddle a donkey for me so that I may ride on it and go with the king,' for your servant is lame.

27 El kaskas kikiap keik nu sum, leum fulat luk. Tusruktu kom oana sie lipufan lun God. Ke ma inge, oru ma kom nunku mu fal kom in oru.

And he has slandered your servant to my lord the king. But my lord the king did that which was good in my eyes, like an angel of God.

28 Lukun fal tuh kom in uniya nufon mwet in sou lun papa tumuk ah, tuh pa kom tuh lela nu sik in wi mongo ke tepu lom uh. Wangin suwohs luk in siyuk kutepacna ma sum, leum fulat luk.”

For though all my father's house were but men doomed to death before my lord the king, yet you placed your servant among those who eat at your table. From whom, then, could I have finer treatment?" But when he cried out to the king,

29 Tokosra el topuk, “Kom tia enenu in sifilpa fahk kutena ma, mweyen nga wotela tari lah kom, ac Ziba, pa ac tukeni ipeis ke acn lal Saul uh.”

the king said, "Why do you multiply your words? I say: You and Ziba divide the property."

30 Ac Mephibosheth el topuk, “Lela Ziba elan eis lal nufon. Nga tia enenu kutena ma sayen lah kom foloko nu acn sum uh ke wo ouiya.”

And Mippibaal said to the king, "Yes, let him take it all, since my lord the king has come safely home."

31 Barzillai mwet Gilead, el oayapa tufoki Rogelim me in tuh atlol tokosra ke el tupalla Infacl Jordan.

Now Barzillai the Gileadite had come down from Rogelim, and he went with the king to conduct him from the Jordan.

32 Barzillai el arulana matu. El yac oalngoul. El arulana kasrup, ac el tuh sang mwe mongo nun tokosra ke pacl el muta Mahanaim.

Now Barzillai was a very old man, eighty years old; and he had provided for the king while he was staying at Mahanaim, for he was a very rich man.

33 Tokosra el fahk nu sel, “Fahsru wiyu som nu Jerusalem, ac nga ac fah karingin kom.”

And the king said to Barzillai, "Come over with me, and I will provide for your old age in Jerusalem with me."

34 Tuh Barzillai el fahk, “Nga ac tia moul paht. Mwe mea ngan wi tokosra som nu Jerusalem?

But Barzillai said to the king, "How many more days would I have there, that I should go up with the king to Jerusalem?

35 Nga sun yac oalngoul tari, ac wanginna ma nga sifil engan kac pacl inge. Nga tia ku in ema ma nga kang ac nim, ac nga tia ku in lohng pusren mwet on. Nga ac tuh akkemkatuye kom, leum luk.

I am now eighty years old. Can I discern between good and bad? Can your servant taste what I eat or what I drink? Can I hear the voice of male and female singers? Why then should your servant be any further burden to my lord the king?

36 Nga kupansuwol nu ke kulang lulap lom uh. Tari, nga ac wi kom na alukela infacl ah kutu srisrik,

Your servant will cross the Jordan with the king for a short distance. Why should the king compensate me in this way?

37 na nga siyuk nga in folokla nu lohm sik ah, ac misa apkuran nu ke kulyuk lun papa tumuk ac nina kiuk. Wen se nutik pa inge, Chimham. Eisal in wi kom tuh elan kulansupwekom. Kom fah oru nu sel oana ma kom lungsum, leum fulat luk.”

Please let your servant return, so that I may die in my own city near the tomb of my father and my mother. But look, here is your servant Kimham. Let him cross over with my lord the king, and do for him what seems good to you."

38 Tokosra el topuk, “Nga ac usal elan wiyu, ac oru nu sel oana ma kom lungse. Oayapa nga ac oru nu sum kutena ma kom siyuk.”

And the king answered, "Kimham will go over with me, and I will do for him whatever I consider appropriate, and whatever you require of me I will do for you."

39 Na David ac mwet lal nukewa tupalla Infacl Jordan. El ngok mutal Barzillai ac sang kas in akinsewowoyal, na Barzillai el folokla nu yen sel.

All the people crossed over the Jordan, but the king remained. Then the king kissed Barzillai, and blessed him; and he returned to his own place.

40 Ke tokosra el tupalla Infacl Jordan wi mwet Judah nukewa ac tafu sin mwet Israel su atlol, el fahsr nu Gilgal, ac Chimham el welul.

So the king went over to Gilgal, and Kimham went over with him. All the people of Judah brought the king over, and also half the people of Israel.

41 Na mwet Israel nukewa som nu yorol tokosra ac fahk nu sel, “Leum lasr, efu ku mwet Judah wiasr elos tuh nunku mu oasr suwohs lalos in eiskomla ac atol kom ac sou lom ac mwet lom ke kowos tupalla Infacl Jordan?”

Look, all the men of Israel came to the king, and said to the king, "Why have our brothers the men of Judah stolen you away, and brought the king, and his household, over the Jordan, and all David's men with him?"

42 Na mwet Judah elos topuk ac fahk, “Kut oru mweyen tokosra el sie sesr. Na efu ku ma se inge in aktoasrye kowos? El soenna moli mwe mongo nasr, ku ase kutena ma nu sesr.”

The men of Judah answered the men of Israel, "Because the king is a close relative to us. Why then are you angry about this matter? Have we eaten at all at the king's cost? Has he given us a gift? Or has he brought us a portion?"

43 Mwet Israel elos fahk, “Oasr suwohs lasr pacl singoul yohk liki suwohs lowos kacl Tokosra David, el finne sie suwos. Efu kowos ku pilesrekut? Nimet kowos mulkunla lah kut pa sramsramkin meet in folokinyukme tokosra uh!” Tusruktu pusren mwet Judah arulana upa liki pusren mwet Israel ke akukuin se inge.

Then the men of Israel answered the men of Judah, and said, "We have ten shares in the king, and we are the firstborn rather than you. Why then did you treat us with contempt? Were we not the first to speak of bringing back our king?" But the comments of the men of Judah were more forceful than the comments of the men of Israel.
