Luo Samuel 2
1 Tukun ma inge, David el lolngok nu sin LEUM GOD, “Ku nga ac som sruokya sie siti in acn Judah?” LEUM GOD El topuk, “Aok.” David el siyuk, “Acn ya se?” LEUM GOD El fahk, “Hebron.”
And it came to pass after this, that David inquired of the LORD, saying, Shall I go up into any of the cities of Judah? And the LORD said to him, Go up. And David said, Where shall I go up? And he said, To Hebron.
2 Ouinge David el som nu Hebron, ac el us mutan luo kial: Ahinoam sie mutan Jezreel, ac Abigail sie mutan Carmel su katinmas kial Nabal.
So David went up thither, and his two wives also, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess, and Abigail Nabal’s wife the Carmelite.
3 El oayapa us mwet lal wi sou lalos, ac elos muta ke siti srisrik raunela acn Hebron.
And his men that were with him did David bring up, every man with his household: and they dwelled in the cities of Hebron.
4 Na mwet Judah elos tuku nu Hebron ac mosrwella David elan tokosra lun Judah. Ke David el lohng lah mwet Jabesh in Gilead elos piknilya Saul,
And the men of Judah came, and there they anointed David king over the house of Judah. And they told David, saying, That the men of Jabeshgilead were they that buried Saul.
5 el supwala kutu mwet nu we wi kas inge: “Lela LEUM GOD Elan akinsewowoye kowos ke kowos akkalemye nunak pwaye lowos nu sin tokosra lowos ac piknilya.
And David sent messengers to the men of Jabeshgilead, and said to them, Blessed be you of the LORD, that you have showed this kindness to your lord, even to Saul, and have buried him.
6 Ac inge lela LEUM GOD Elan kulang ac oaru in liyekowosyang. Nga pac, nga fah oru wo nu suwos ke sripen ma kowos oru inge.
And now the LORD show kindness and truth to you: and I also will requite you this kindness, because you have done this thing.
7 Kowos in ku ac pulaik! Saul, tokosra lowos, el misa, ac mwet Judah elos mosrweyula in tokosra lalos.”
Therefore now let your hands be strengthened, and be you valiant: for your master Saul is dead, and also the house of Judah have anointed me king over them.
8 Abner wen natul Ner, su captain lun un mwet mweun lal Saul, el eisal Ishbosheth wen natul Saul, ac kaingla tupalla Infacl Jordan nu Mahanaim.
But Abner the son of Ner, captain of Saul’s host, took Ishbosheth the son of Saul, and brought him over to Mahanaim;
9 In acn se inge Abner el orala Ishbosheth elan tokosra lun acn Gilead, Asher, Jezreel, Ephraim, ac Benjamin — aok lun Israel nufon.
And made him king over Gilead, and over the Ashurites, and over Jezreel, and over Ephraim, and over Benjamin, and over all Israel.
10 Ishbosheth el yac angngaul ke pacl se el tokosrala lun Israel, ac el leum faclos ke yac luo. A sruf lun Judah srakna orekma nu sel David,
Ishbosheth Saul’s son was forty years old when he began to reign over Israel, and reigned two years. But the house of Judah followed David.
11 ac el leum in acn Hebron fin mwet Judah ke yac itkosr tafu.
And the time that David was king in Hebron over the house of Judah was seven years and six months.
12 Abner ac mwet pwapa lal Ishbosheth elos som liki Mahanaim nu in siti Gibeon.
And Abner the son of Ner, and the servants of Ishbosheth the son of Saul, went out from Mahanaim to Gibeon.
13 Joab, su nina kial ah pa Zeruiah, ac mwet pwapa saya lal David elos osun nu selos ke lulu in kof in acn Gibeon. Elos nukewa muta in acn sac — sie u ah muta ke la lulu sac, ac u se ngia muta ke layen ngia.
And Joab the son of Zeruiah, and the servants of David, went out, and met together by the pool of Gibeon: and they sat down, the one on the one side of the pool, and the other on the other side of the pool.
14 Na Abner el fahk nu sel Joab, “Kut srukak kutu mwet fusr ke u luo inge elos in akutun anwuk.” Joab el fahk, “Wona.”
And Abner said to Joab, Let the young men now arise, and play before us. And Joab said, Let them arise.
15 Ouinge mwet singoul luo sin mwet lal Ishbosheth ac sruf lal Benjamin, elos lain mwet singoul luo sin mwet lal David.
Then there arose and went over by number twelve of Benjamin, which pertained to Ishbosheth the son of Saul, and twelve of the servants of David.
16 Kais sie mwet sruokya mwet se lainul ke sifal, ac kaskeang cutlass natul ah nu in pupal. Ouinge mwet longoul akosr ah nufon putatla misa. Na pa pangpang acn se inge in acn Gibeon “Ima in Cutlass.”
And they caught every one his fellow by the head, and thrust his sword in his fellow’s side; so they fell down together: why that place was called Helkathhazzurim, which is in Gibeon.
17 Na mweun na upa se srola, ac David ac mwet lal elos kutangulla Abner ac mwet Israel.
And there was a very sore battle that day; and Abner was beaten, and the men of Israel, before the servants of David.
18 Wen tolu natul Zeruiah oasr kac: Joab, Abishai, ac Asahel. Asahel, su kasrusr mui oana deer inima soko,
And there were three sons of Zeruiah there, Joab, and Abishai, and Asahel: and Asahel was as light of foot as a wild roe.
19 el ukwal Abner suwosyang tokol.
And Asahel pursued after Abner; and in going he turned not to the right hand nor to the left from following Abner.
20 Abner el tapulla siyuk, “Asahel, ya kom pa ingan?” El topuk, “Aok, nga.”
Then Abner looked behind him, and said, Are you Asahel? And he answered, I am.
21 Na Abner el fahk, “Nimet ukweyu! Ukwe na sie mwet mweun saya an ac eisla ma el us an.” A Asahel el ukwal na.
And Abner said to him, Turn you aside to your right hand or to your left, and lay you hold on one of the young men, and take you his armor. But Asahel would not turn aside from following of him.
22 Na Abner el sifil fahk nu sel, “Tui! Nimet ukweyu! Kom ku oru ngan unikomi? Nga ac ngetnget fuka nu sel Joab, ma lim?”
And Abner said again to Asahel, Turn you aside from following me: why should I smite you to the ground? how then should I hold up my face to Joab your brother?
23 Tuh Asahel el tiana tui. Na Abner el fakfuk nu tok ac fakisya insial Asahel, ac osra soko ah sasla fintokol. Asahel el putatla nu infohk uh ac misa. Ac mwet nukewa su tuku nu yen se el oan we ah elos tui in acn sac.
However, he refused to turn aside: why Abner with the hinder end of the spear smote him under the fifth rib, that the spear came out behind him; and he fell down there, and died in the same place: and it came to pass, that as many as came to the place where Asahel fell down and died stood still.
24 Na Joab ac Abishai eltal mutawauk ukwal Abner, ac ke faht uh tili eltal sun fineol srisrik Ammah, su oan nu kutulap in acn Giah ke inkanek nu yen mwesis lun Gibeon.
Joab also and Abishai pursued after Abner: and the sun went down when they were come to the hill of Ammah, that lies before Giah by the way of the wilderness of Gibeon.
25 Mwet in sruf lal Benjamin sifilpa fahsreni in welul Abner, ac elos tu na akola fin eol soko.
And the children of Benjamin gathered themselves together after Abner, and became one troop, and stood on the top of an hill.
26 Na Abner el pangla nu yorol Joab ac fahk, “Ku kut ac kollana mweun lasr uh nwe ngac? Mea, kom tia akilen lah saflaiya uh kut ac arulana asrungai? Kut mutunfacl sefanna. Kut ac soano nwe ngac kom in sap mwet lom an in tui tila ukwe kut?”
Then Abner called to Joab, and said, Shall the sword devour for ever? know you not that it will be bitterness in the latter end? how long shall it be then, before you bid the people return from following their brothers?
27 Ac Joab el fahk, “Nga fulahk Inen God moul, lah kom funu tia kasla, mwet luk uh lukun ukwe kowos na nwe lututang.”
And Joab said, As God lives, unless you had spoken, surely then in the morning the people had gone up every one from following his brother.
28 Na Joab el ukya mwe ukuk tuh mwet lal ah in tui ac tila ukwe mwet Israel ah. Ouinge mweun sac tui.
So Joab blew a trumpet, and all the people stood still, and pursued after Israel no more, neither fought they any more.
29 Abner ac mwet lal elos fahsr sasla Infahlfal Jordan in fong fon sac. Elos tupalla Infacl Jordan, ac tukun fahsr lalos in lotu se tok ah nufon, elos sun acn Mahanaim.
And Abner and his men walked all that night through the plain, and passed over Jordan, and went through all Bithron, and they came to Mahanaim.
30 Ke Joab el tulokinya mwet lal ah, el konauk tuh na mwet singoul eu wanginla, sayal Asahel.
And Joab returned from following Abner: and when he had gathered all the people together, there lacked of David’s servants nineteen men and Asahel.
31 Mwet lal David uniya mwet tolfoko onngoul sin mwet lal Abner ke sruf lal Benjamin.
But the servants of David had smitten of Benjamin, and of Abner’s men, so that three hundred and three score men died.
32 Joab ac mwet lal elos us manol Asahel ac pikinya inkulyuk lun sou lal ah in acn Bethlehem. Na elos fahsr in fong sac nufon nwe sun acn Hebron in lotu tok ah.
And they took up Asahel, and buried him in the sepulcher of his father, which was in Bethlehem. And Joab and his men went all night, and they came to Hebron at break of day.
