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.” (
And there is a famine in the days of David [for] three years, year after year, and David seeks the face of YHWH, and YHWH says, “[This is] for Saul and for the bloody house, because that he put the Gibeonites to death.”
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.)
And the king calls for the Gibeonites and says to them—as for the Gibeonites, they [are] not of the sons of Israel, but of the remnant of the Amorite, and the sons of Israel had sworn to them, and Saul seeks to strike them in his zeal for the sons of Israel and Judah—
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.”
indeed, David says to the Gibeonites, “What do I do for you? And with what do I make atonement? And bless the inheritance of YHWH.”
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?”
And the Gibeonites say to him, “We have no silver and gold by Saul and by his house, and we have no man to put to death in Israel”; and he says, “What you are saying I do to you.”
5 Elos fahk, “Saul el tuh lungse elan kunauskutla ac tia likiya siefanna sesr in moul in facl Israel nufon.
And they say to the king, “The man who consumed us, and who devised against us—we have been destroyed from stationing ourselves in all the 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 there be given to us seven men of his sons, and we have hanged them before YHWH, in the height of Saul, the chosen of YHWH.” And the king says, “I give”;
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.
and the king has pity on Mephibosheth son of Jonathan, son of Saul, because of the oath of YHWH that [is] between them, 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.
and the king takes the two sons of Rizpah daughter of Aiah, whom she bore to Saul, Armoni and Mephibosheth, and the five sons of Michal daughter of Saul whom she bore 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 gives them into the hand of the Gibeonites, and they hang them in the hill before YHWH; and the seven fall together, and they have been put to death in the days of harvest, in the first [days], the commencement of 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 daughter of Aiah takes the sackcloth, and stretches it out for herself on the rock, from the commencement of harvest until water has been poured out on them from the heavens, and has not permitted a bird of the heavens to rest on them by day, or the beast of the field by night.
11 Ke David el lohng ma Rizpah el oru inge,
And it is declared to David that which Rizpah daughter of Aiah, concubine of Saul, has 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.)
and David goes and takes the bones of Saul, and the bones of his son Jonathan, from the possessors of Jabesh-Gilead, who had stolen them from the broad place of Beth-Shan, where the Philistines hanged them, in the day of the Philistines striking Saul in Gilboa;
13 David el us srel Saul ac Jonathan, ac el oayapa orani srin mwet itkosr ma sripsripyak ah.
and he brings up there the bones of Saul, and the bones of his son Jonathan, and they gather the bones of those 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 bury the bones of Saul and of his son Jonathan in the land of Benjamin, in Zelah, in the burying-place of his father Kish, and do all that the king commanded, and God accepts the plea for the land afterward.
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.
And again the Philistines have war with Israel, and David goes down, and his servants with him, and they fight with the Philistines; and David is weary,
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.
and Ishbi-Benob, who [is] among the children of the giant—the weight of his spear [is] three hundred [shekels in] weight of bronze, and he is girded with a new one—speaks of striking 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.”
and Abishai son of Zeruiah gives help to him, and strikes the Philistine, and puts him to death; then the men of David swear to him, saying, “You do not go out with us to battle again, nor quench the lamp of Israel.”
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.
And it comes to pass afterward that the battle is again in Gob with the Philistines. Then Sibbechai the Hushathite has struck Saph, who [is] among the children of the giant.
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.
And the battle is again in Gob with the Philistines, and Elhanan son of Jaare-Oregim, the Beth-Lehemite, strikes [a brother of] Goliath the Gittite, and the wood of his spear [is] like a weavers’ 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 the battle is again in Gath, and there is a man of [great] stature, and the fingers of his hands [are] six, and the toes of his feet [are] six—twenty-four in number, and he has also been born to the giant,
21 El funmwet nu sin mwet Israel, ac Jonathan wen natul Shammah, tamulel lal David, el unilya.
and he reproaches Israel, and Jonathan son of Shimeah, David’s brother, strikes him;
22 Mwet lulap akosr inge elos ma nutin mwet yohk pisa lun acn Gath, ac elos anwuki sel David ac mwet lal.
these four have been born to the giant in Gath, and they fall by the hand of David, and by the hand of his servants.
