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.” (
There was a famine in David's time for three years in a row, and David sought the face of Yahweh. So Yahweh said, “This famine is on you because of Saul and his murderous family, because 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.)
Now the Gibeonites were not from the people of Israel; they were from what remained of the Amorites. The people of Israel had sworn not to kill them, but Saul tried to kill them all anyway in his zeal for the people 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.”
So King David called together the Gibeonites and said to them, “What should I do for you? How can I make atonement, so that you may bless the people of Yahweh, who inherit his goodness and promises?”
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 responded to him, “It is not a matter of silver or gold between us and Saul or his family. In the same way it is not for us to put to death any man in Israel.” David replied, “What are you saying that I should do for you?”
5 Elos fahk, “Saul el tuh lungse elan kunauskutla ac tia likiya siefanna sesr in moul in facl Israel nufon.
They answered the king, “The man who tried to kill us all, who schemed against us, so that we are now destroyed and have no place within the borders 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 men from his descendants be handed over to us, and we will hang them before Yahweh in Gibeah of Saul, the one chosen by Yahweh.” So the king said, “I will give them to you.”
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 Mephibosheth son of Jonathan son of Saul, because of Yahweh's oath 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.
But the king took the two sons of Rizpah daughter of Aiah, sons whom she bore to Saul—the two sons were named Armoni and Mephibosheth; and David also took the five sons of Merab 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.
He handed them over into the hands of the Gibeonites. They hanged them on the mountain before Yahweh, and they died all seven together. They were put to death during the time of harvest, during the first days 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.
Then Rizpah, the daughter of Aiah, took sackcloth and spread it for herself on the mountain beside the dead bodies, from the beginning of harvest until the rain poured down on them from the sky. She did not allow the birds of the sky to disturb the bodies by day or the wild animals by night.
11 Ke David el lohng ma Rizpah el oru inge,
It was told to David what Rizpah, the daughter of Aiah, the slave 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.)
So David went and took the bones of Saul and the bones of Jonathan his son from the men of Jabesh Gilead, who had stolen them from the public square of Beth Shan, where the Philistines had hanged them, after the Philistines had killed Saul in Gilboa.
13 David el us srel Saul ac Jonathan, ac el oayapa orani srin mwet itkosr ma sripsripyak ah.
David took away from there the bones of Saul and the bones of Jonathan his son, and they gathered the bones of the seven men who had been hanged, as well.
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.
They buried the bones of Saul and Jonathan his son in the country of Benjamin in Zela, in the tomb of Kish his father. They performed all that the king commanded. After that 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.
Then the Philistines went to war again with Israel. So David went down with his army and fought against the Philistines. David was overcome with battle fatigue.
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.
Ishbi-Benob, a descendant of the giants, whose bronze spear weighed three hundred shekels, and who was armed with a new sword, intended 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 rescued David, attacked the Philistine, and killed him. Then the men of David swore to him, saying, “You must not go to battle anymore with us, so that you do not put out 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.
It came about after this that there was again a battle with the Philistines at Gob, when Sibbekai the Hushathite killed Saph, who was one of the descendants of the Rephaim.
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.
It came about again in a battle with the Philistines at Gob, that Elhanan son of Jair the Bethlehemite killed 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.
It came about in another battle at Gath that there was a man of great height who had six fingers on each hand and six toes on each foot, twenty-four in number. He also was descended from the Rephaim.
21 El funmwet nu sin mwet Israel, ac Jonathan wen natul Shammah, tamulel lal David, el unilya.
When he taunted Israel, Jonathan 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 were descendants of the Rephaim of Gath, and they were killed by the hand of David and by the hand of his soldiers.
