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.” (
Now there was a famine in the days of David for three consecutive years, so David sought the face of the LORD. And the LORD said, "There is bloodguilt on Saul and on his house, because he murdered 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.)
So the king summoned the Gibeonites, and spoke to them. (Now the Gibeonites were not of the children of Israel but of the remnant of the Amorites. And the children of Israel had sworn to them, but Saul sought to exterminate them in his zeal for the children 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.”
And David said to the Gibeonites, "What can I do for you? And how can I make atonement, 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, "It is not a matter of silver or gold between us and Saul or his house, nor is it our place to put anyone to death in Israel." Then he said, "What do you want? For I will do it for you."
5 Elos fahk, “Saul el tuh lungse elan kunauskutla ac tia likiya siefanna sesr in moul in facl Israel nufon.
So they said to the king, "The man who opposed us and persecuted us, who meant to eradicate us from having a place anywhere in the territory 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 sons be delivered to us, and we will hang them before the LORD at Gibeon on the mountain of the LORD." And the king replied, "I will do it."
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.
But the king spared Mippibaal, the son of Jonathan, the son of Saul, because of the LORD's oath that was between them, between David and Jonathan the 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 the two sons of Rizpah the daughter of Aiah, whom she bore to Saul, Armoni and Mippibaal; and the five sons of Merob the daughter of Saul, whom she bore to Adriel the 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 mountain before the LORD, and all seven of them fell together. And they were put to death in the first days of harvest at the beginning 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 the daughter of Aiah took sackcloth and spread it for herself on a rock, from the beginning of harvest until it rained on them from the sky. And she did not allow the birds of the sky to rest on them by day, nor the wild animals by night.
11 Ke David el lohng ma Rizpah el oru inge,
It was told David what Rizpah the daughter of Aiah, the secondary wife of Saul, 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.)
Then David went and obtained the bones of Saul and the bones of his son Jonathan from the citizens of Jabesh Gilead, who had stolen them from the public square of Beth Shan, where the Philistines had hung them on the day that the Philistines killed Saul on Gilboa;
13 David el us srel Saul ac Jonathan, ac el oayapa orani srin mwet itkosr ma sripsripyak ah.
and he brought up from there the bones of Saul and the bones of Jonathan his son. And they gathered the bones of those who were 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 he buried the bones of Saul and Jonathan in the land of Benjamin in Zela, in the tomb of Kish his father. And they performed all that the king commanded. After that God responded to 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.
The Philistines had war again with Israel; and David went down, and his servants with him, and fought against the Philistines. Now 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.
and Dodo son of Joash, of the descendants of the Raphah, captured him. His spear weighed three hundred bronze shekels, and he was girded with a new sword, and he thought he could 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 the son of Zeruiah helped him and struck the Philistine, and killed him. Then the men of David took an oath, saying, "You must not go out to battle with us again, so that you do not extinguish 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.
Now it came to pass after this that there was another battle with the Philistines at Gezer. Then Sibbekai the Hushathite killed Saph, a descendant of the Raphah.
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.
There was again war with the Philistines at Gob; and Elhanan the son of Jair the Bethlehemite killed the brother of Goliath the Gittite, the staff 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.
There was another battle at Gath, where there was a man of great stature who had on six fingers on each hand, and six toes on each foot, twenty four in number, and he also was a descendant of Raphah.
21 El funmwet nu sin mwet Israel, ac Jonathan wen natul Shammah, tamulel lal David, el unilya.
When he defied Israel, Jonathan the son of Shimeah, David's brother, killed 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 were descendants of Raphah in Gath; and they fell by the hand of David, and by the hand of his servants.
