Luo Samuel 21
1 In we lal Tokosra David, oasr sracl na upa se, yac tolu lusa. Na David el lolngok nu sin LEUM GOD kac, ac LEUM GOD El fahk, “Oasr mwatal Saul ac sou lal ke akmas. El tuh uniya mwet in acn Gibeon.” (
During the reign of David there was a famine for three successive years, and David sought the face of the LORD. And the LORD said, “It is because of the blood shed by Saul and his family, because he killed the Gibeonites.”
2 Mwet Gibeon elos tia mwet Israel — elos mwet Amor, sie u srisrik su mwet Israel elos tuh wulela mu elos ac karinganulos, tuh pa Saul el tuh srike elan kunauselosla ke sripen moniyuk lal in nunku ke mwet Israel ac mwet Judah.)
At this, David summoned the Gibeonites and spoke to them. (Now the Gibeonites were not Israelites, but a remnant of the Amorites. The Israelites had taken an oath concerning them, but in his zeal for Israel and Judah, Saul had sought to kill them.)
3 Na David el solani mwet Gibeon ac fahk nu selos, “Mea nga ku in oru nu suwos? Nga ke akwoyela ma koluk se ma orekla nu suwos, tuh kowos in ku in akinsewowoye mwet lun LEUM GOD.”
So David asked the Gibeonites, “What shall I do for you? How can I make amends so that you may bless the inheritance of the LORD?”
4 Elos topuk ac fahk, “Amei lasr nu sel Saul ac sou lal ah tia ku in akwoyeyukla ke silver ku gold. Kut tia pac lungse uniya kutena mwet Israel.” Ac David el siyuk, “Na mea kowos nunku mu fal nga in oru nu suwos?”
The Gibeonites said to him, “We need no silver or gold from Saul or his house, nor should you put to death anyone in Israel for us.” “Whatever you ask, I will do for you,” he replied.
5 Elos fahk, “Saul el tuh lungse elan kunauskutla ac tia likiya siefanna sesr in moul in facl Israel nufon.
And they answered the king, “As for the man who consumed us and plotted against us to exterminate us from existing within any border of Israel,
6 Ouinge ase itkosr mukul in sou lal an, tuh kut fah srupsralosyak ye mutun LEUM GOD in acn Gibeah, siti sel Saul, tokosra se sulosolla sin LEUM GOD.” Tokosra el topuk, “Nga ac eisaloswot nu suwos.”
let seven of his male descendants be delivered to us so that we may hang them before the LORD at Gibeah of Saul, the chosen of the LORD.” “I will give them to you,” said the king.
7 A ke sripen wulela mutal ma el ac Jonathan, wen natul Saul, tuh orala inmasrloltal, David el sruokilyana Mephibosheth, wen natul Jonathan natul Saul, elan tia wi anwuki.
Now the king spared Mephibosheth son of Jonathan, the son of Saul, because of the oath before the LORD between David and Jonathan son of Saul.
8 Na el eisalang Armoni ac Mephibosheth, wen luo su Rizpah acn natul Aiah, el oswela nu sel Saul, oayapa wen limekosr pac natul Merab acn natul Saul, su el oswela nu sel Adriel wen natul Barzillai, sie mwet Meholah.
But the king took Armoni and Mephibosheth, the two sons whom Rizpah daughter of Aiah had borne to Saul, as well as the five sons whom Merab daughter of Saul had borne to Adriel son of Barzillai the Meholathite.
9 David el eisaltalang nu sin mwet Gibeon, ac elos srupsralosyak fineol ah ye mutun LEUM GOD, ac mwet itkosr inge tukenina misa. Pacl se elos anwuki, apkuran pacl in kosrani barley tukun pacl in mihsrisr.
And he delivered them into the hands of the Gibeonites, and they hanged them on the hill before the LORD. So all seven of them fell together; they were put to death in the first days of the harvest, at the beginning of the barley harvest.
10 Na Rizpah, mutan kulansap kial Saul su acn natul Aiah, el orala kitin lohm nuknuk ke nuknuk yohk eoa, ac muta loac, fin eot se monin mwet misa ah oan we, na el muta in acn sac ke mutaweyen pacl in kosrani ah nwe ke pacl in af tukun pacl in fol. Ke len uh el muta lusla won yen engyeng uh liki mano uh, ac ke fong uh el lusla kosro inima uh lukelos.
And Rizpah the daughter of Aiah took sackcloth and spread it out for herself on a rock. From the beginning of the harvest until the rain from heaven poured down on the bodies, she did not allow the birds of the air to rest on them by day, nor the beasts of the field by night.
11 Ke David el lohng ma Rizpah el oru inge,
When David was told what Saul’s concubine Rizpah, daughter of Aiah, had done,
12 el som eis srel Saul ac Jonathan wen natul, liki mwet Jabesh in acn Gilead. (Elos tuh pisrala liki nien toeni lun mwet uh in acn Beth Shan, yen mwet Philistia elos srupusrak mano luo ah we ke len se elos unilya Saul fin Fineol Gilboa.)
he went and took the bones of Saul and his son Jonathan from the men of Jabesh-gilead, who had stolen them from the public square of Beth-shan where the Philistines had hung the bodies after they had struck down Saul at Gilboa.
13 David el us srel Saul ac Jonathan, ac el oayapa orani srin mwet itkosr ma sripsripyak ah.
So David had the bones of Saul and his son Jonathan brought from there, along with the bones of those who had been hanged.
14 Na elos pikinya srel Saul ac Jonathan ke kulyuk lal Kish, papa tumal Saul, in acn Zela in facl lun Benjamin, ac elos oru ma nukewa ma tokosra el sapkin. Tukun ma inge, God El topuk pre lalos ke mutunfacl sac.
And they buried the bones of Saul and his son Jonathan in Zela in the land of Benjamin, in the tomb of Saul’s father Kish. After they had done everything the king had commanded, God answered their prayers for the land.
15 Oasr pac sie mweun lulap inmasrlon mwet Philistia ac mwet Israel, na David ac mwet lal elos som mweuni mwet Philistia. Ke sie sin mweun inge, David el totola.
Once again the Philistines waged war against Israel, and David and his servants went down and fought against the Philistines; but David became exhausted.
16 Sie mwet yohk pisa pangpang Ishbibenob el us osra bronze soko paun itkosr tafu toasriya, ac cutlass sasu se sripsrip manol. El nunku mu el ku in unilya David.
Then Ishbi-benob, a descendant of Rapha, whose bronze spear weighed three hundred shekels and who was bearing a new sword, resolved to kill David.
17 Tusruk Abishai wen natul Zeruiah, el tuku kasrel David. El faksilya mwet yohk pisa sac ac unilya. Na mwet lal David elos fahk nu sel David elan wulela nu selos mu el ac tiana sifilpa welulos illa nu ke mweun. Elos fahk, “Kom pa mwe finsrak lun Israel, ac kut tia lungse kom in wanginla.”
But Abishai son of Zeruiah came to his aid, struck the Philistine, and killed him. Then David’s men swore to him, “You must never again go out with us to battle, so that the lamp of Israel may not be extinguished.”
18 Tukun ma inge oasr pac sie mweun lain mwet Philistia in acn Gob. Ke mweun se inge, Sibbecai mwet Hushah, el uniya sie pac mwet yohk pisa pangpang Saph.
Some time later at Gob, there was another battle with the Philistines. At that time Sibbecai the Hushathite killed Saph, one of the descendants of Rapha.
19 Na oasr pac sie mweun lain mwet Philistia in acn Gob, ac Elhanan wen natul Jair mwet Bethlehem, el unilya Goliath, mwet Gath. Fungin osra natul Goliath ah yohk oana sak ke mwe otwot nuknuk.
Once again there was a battle with the Philistines at Gob, and Elhanan son of Jair the Bethlehemite killed the brother of Goliath the Gittite, the shaft of whose spear was like a weaver’s beam.
20 Ac oasr pac sie mweun orek Gath, acn se oasr sie mwet yohk pisa muta we su lungsena anwuk. Oasr kufinpo onkosr ke paol kewa, ac kufinne onkosr ke nial kewa.
And there was still another battle at Gath, where there was a man of great stature with six fingers on each hand and six toes on each foot—twenty-four in all. He too was descended from Rapha,
21 El funmwet nu sin mwet Israel, ac Jonathan wen natul Shammah, tamulel lal David, el unilya.
and when he taunted Israel, Jonathan the son of David’s brother Shimei killed him.
22 Mwet lulap akosr inge elos ma nutin mwet yohk pisa lun acn Gath, ac elos anwuki sel David ac mwet lal.
So these four descendants of Rapha in Gath fell at the hands of David and his servants.
