Luo Samuel 3

1 Arulana paht mweun se inmasrlon mwet mweun kasreyen sou lal Saul ac mwet mweun kasreyal David. In pacl se inge ku lal David yokyokelik, a ku lun mwet lainul sriksrikeni.

And there was war for a long time between the house of Saul and the house of David; and the house of David grew continually stronger; but the house of Saul grew continually weaker.

2 Wen onkosr natul David inge takla ke matwalos, elos isusla in acn Hebron: Amnon — nina kial pa Ahinoam, mutan Jezreel;

And sons were born to David in Chebron: and his first-born was Ammon the son of Achinoom the Jezraelitess.

3 Chileab — nina kial pa Abigail, mutan Carmel katinmas kial Nabal; Absalom — nina kial pa Maacah, acn natul Talmai, tokosra lun Geshur;

And his second son [was] Daluia, the son of Abigaia the Carmelitess; and the third, Abessalom the son of Maacha the daughter of Tholmi the king of Gessir.

4 Adonijah — nina kial pa Haggith; Shephatiah — nina kial pa Abital;

And the fourth [was] Ornia, the son of Aggith, and the fifth [was] Saphatia, the son of Abital.

5 Ithream — nina kial pa Eglah. Wen natul inge kewa isusla in acn Hebron.

And the sixth [was] Jetheraam, the son of Aegal the wife of David. These were born to David in Chebron.

6 Ke mweun uh srakna orek inmasrlon mwet mweun lal David ac mwet mweun kasreyen sou lal Saul, Abner el kui na kui inmasrlon mwet mweun lal Saul.

And it came to pass while there was war between the house of Saul and the house of David, that Abenner was governing the house of Saul.

7 Sie len ah, Ishbosheth wen natul Saul, el akkolukyal Abner fahk mu el motul yorol Rizpah, mutan kulansap kial Saul, su acn natul Aiah.

And Saul had a concubine, Respha, the daughter of Jol; and Jebosthe the son of Saul said to Abenner, Why hast thou gone in to my father's concubine?

8 Ma se inge oru Abner el kasrkusrak ac fahk, “Ku kom nunku mu nga ku in oru koluk nu sel Saul? Mea pwaye lah kom pangon mu nga kulansupu mwet Judah? Oemeet me nga nuna pwayena nu sel Saul, papa tomom, oayapa mwet wial ac kawuk lal, ac nga pa pwanang kom tia kutangyukla sel David. A misenge kom akkolukyeyu ke sripen mutan se?

And Abenner was very angry with Jebosthe for this saying; and Abenner said to him, Am I a dog's head? I have this day wrought kindness with the house of Saul thy father, and with his brethren and friends, and have not gone over to the house of David, and dost thou this day seek a charge against me concerning injury to a woman?

9 Lela God Elan sringilyuwi ngan misa, nga fin tia akpwayeye ma nga fahk inge: nga fah oru oana wulela lun LEUM GOD nu sel David,

God do thus and more also to Abenner, if as the Lord swore to David, so do I not to him this day;

10 in eisla tokosrai lukel Saul ac fita lal, ac sang nu sel David tuh elan tokosra fin acn Israel ac Judah, mutawauk e Dan nu epang fahla nwe Beersheba nu eir!”

to take away the kingdom from the house of Saul, and to raise up the throne of David over Israel and over Juda from Dan to Bersabee.

11 Ishbosheth el arulana sangeng sel Abner, oru el tia ku in fahkla sie kas.

And Jebosthe could not any longer answer Abenner a word, because he feared him.

12 Abner el supwala mwet utuk kas nu yorol David, su muta Hebron in pacl sac, tuh elos in siyuk, “Su ac leumi facl se inge uh? Kom fin orala sie wulela nu sik, na nga ac fah kasrekom eisla acn Israel nufon lom.”

And Abenner sent messengers to David to Thaelam where he was, immediately, saying, Make thy covenant with me, and, behold, my hand [is] with thee to bring back to thee all the house of Israel.

13 David el fahk, “Wona. Nga ac orala sie wulela nu sum kom fin orala ma se inge: usalu Michal, acn natul Saul, ke kom ac tuku.”

And David said, With a good will I will make with thee a covenant: only I demand one condition of thee, saying, Thou shalt not see my face, unless thou bring Melchol the daughter of Saul, when thou comest to see my face.

14 Ac David el oayapa supwala mwet utuk kas nu yorol Ishbosheth ac fahk, “Folokunulma Michal, mutan kiuk. Nga molella tari ke siofok kulun ma mukul lun mwet Philistia, tuh elan mutan kiuk.”

And David sent messengers to Jebosthe the son of Saul, saying, Restore me my wife Melchol, whom I took for a hundred foreskins of the Philistines.

15 Na Ishbosheth el sap utuku mutan sac lukel Paltiel, mukul tumal, wen natul Laish.

And Jebosthe sent, and took her from her husband, [even] from Phaltiel the son of Selle.

16 Paltiel el fahsr na tung tokol nwe ke siti srisrik Bahurim. Tusruktu ke Abner el sap elan folokla, na Paltiel el folokla.

And her husband went with her weeping behind her as far as Barakim. And Abenner said to him, Go, return; and he returned.

17 Abner el som nu yurin mwet kol lun Israel ac fahk nu selos, “Kowos tuh kena David elan tokosra lowos ke pacl na loes.

And Abenner spoke to the elders of Israel, saying, In former days ye sought David to reign over you;

18 Inge pacl wo lowos. Esam lah LEUM GOD El tuh fahk, ‘Nga ac orekmakunul David, mwet kulansap luk, tuh elan molela mwet luk Israel liki mwet Philistia ac liki mwet lokoalok lalos saya nukewa.’”

and now perform [it]: for the Lord has spoken concerning David, saying, By the hand of my servant David I will save Israel out of the hand of all their enemies.

19 Abner el kaskas pac nu sin mwet in sruf lal Benjamin, na el som nu Hebron in fahkang nu sel David ma mwet in sruf lal Benjamin ac mwet Israel insesela in oru.

And Abenner spoke in the ears of Benjamin: and Abenner went to speak in the ears of David at Chebron, all that seemed good in the eyes of Israel and in the eyes of the house of Benjamin.

20 Ke Abner el tuku nu yorol David in acn Hebron wi mwet longoul, David el orala kufwa se nu selos.

And Abenner came to David to Chebron, and with him twenty men: and David made for Abenner and his men with him a banquet of wine.

21 Abner el fahk nu sel David, “Leuwa, inge nga ac som ac eisani mwet Israel nukewa in mwet lom. Elos ac fah eis kom in tokosra lalos, na kom ac fah leum fin mutunfacl sac nufon, fal nu ke lungse lom.” David el wulela na ku nu sel Abner lah el ac muta in misla, na el supwalla inkanek lal.

And Abenner said to David, I will arise now, and go, and gather to my lord the king all Israel; and I will make with him a covenant, and thou shalt reign over all whom thy soul desires. And David sent away Abenner, and he departed in peace.

22 Tok, Joab ac mwet pwapa saya lal David elos folokla liki mweun, ac elos us ma wap pukanten welulos. Tusruktu Abner el tila muta Hebron yorol David, mweyen David el supwalla wi sie wulela ke misla.

And, behold, the servants of David and Joab arrived from their expedition, and they brought much spoil with them: and Abenner was not with David in Chebron, because he had sent him away, and he had departed in peace.

23 Ke Joab ac mwet lal ah sun acn we, fwackyang nu sel lah Abner el tuku nu yorol Tokosra David, ac supweyukla el tari, wi wulela ke misla.

And Joab and all his army came, and it was reported to Joab, saying, Abenner the son of Ner is come to David, and David has let him go, and he has departed in peace.

24 Ouinge Joab el som nu yurin tokosra ac siyuk sel, “Mea se kom orala uh? Abner el tuku nu yurum, ac efu ku kom fuhlella elan som?

And Joab went in to the king, and said, What [is] this [that] thou hast done? behold, Abenner came to thee; and why hast thou let him go, and he has departed in peace?

25 Nga lulalfongi lah kom etu na lah el tuku in na kiapwekom, ac in etu ke ma nukewa kom oru uh ac yen nukewa kom fahsr nu we!”

Knowest thou not the mischief of Abenner the son of Ner, that he came to deceive thee, and to know thy going out and thy coming in, and to know all things that thou doest?

26 Tukun Joab el som lukel David, el supwala mwet in tuh usalu Abner, ac elos folokunulma liki luf in Kof Sirah. Tusruktu David el tia etu kac.

And Joab returned from David, and sent messengers to Abenner after [him]; and they bring him back from the well of Seiram: but David knew [it] not.

27 Ke Abner el sun acn Hebron, Joab el kololla nu sisken mutunpot lun siti sac oana elan ke sramsram lukma nu sel. Na Joab el fakisya insial Abner. Ouinge akmuseyuki Abner mweyen el tuh unilya Asahel, tamulel lal Joab.

And he brought back Abenner to Chebron, and Joab caused him to turn aside from the gate to speak to him, laying wait for him: and he smote him there in the loins, and he died for the blood of Asael the brother of Joab.

28 Ke David el lohngak pweng sac, el fahk, “LEUM GOD El etu lah wangin mwetik ac mwet luk ke misa lal Abner.

And David heard [of it] afterwards, and said, I and my kingdom are guiltless before the Lord even for ever of the blood of Abenner the son of Ner.

29 Lela tuh folokinyen ma koluk se inge in oan facl Joab ac sou lal nufon. Lela in oasr mukul se in fwil nukewa in sou lal weak mas koluk, ku musen leper, ku elahn mutan, ku misa ke mweun, ku sufal mongo nal.”

Let it fall upon the head of Joab, and upon all the house of his father; and let there not be wanting of the house of Joab one that has an issue, or a leper, or that leans on a staff, or that falls by the sword, or that wants bread.

30 Ouinge Joab ac Abishai tamulel lal, eltal foloksak ac unilya Abner ke sripen el tuh unilya Asahel tamulel se laltal, ke mweun in acn Gibeon.

For Joab and Abessa his brother laid wait continually for Abenner, because he slew Asael their brother at Gabaon in the battle.

31 Na David el sap Joab ac mwet lal ah in salik nuknuk lalos, ac nokomang nuknuk yohk eoa in akkalemye asor lalos kacl Abner. Ke pacl in pukmas, Tokosra David sifacna el fahsr tukun box in mas sac.

And David said to Joab and to all the people with him, Rend your garments, and gird yourselves with sackcloth, and lament before Abenner. And king David followed the bier.

32 Abner el pukpuki Hebron, ac tokosra el tung ke pusra lulap ke kulyuk ah, ac mwet nukewa wi pac tung.

And they bury Abenner in Chebron: and the king lifted up his voice, and wept at his tomb, and all the people wept for Abenner.

33 David el onkin on in eoksra soko inge kacl Abner: “Efu ku Abner elan misa oana mwet lalfon se?

And the king mourned over Abenner, and said, Shall Abenner die according to the death of Nabal?

34 Paol tia kapiri, Ac nial tiana losyukeni. El misa oana misa lun sie mwet anwuki sin mwet koluk!” Na mwet uh sifilpa tung kacl.

Thy hands were not bound, and thy feet [were] not [put] in fetters: [one] brought [thee] not near as Nabal; thou didst fall before children of iniquity.

35 In len sac nufon, mwet uh srike in oru David elan kangla kutu mongo, tuh el na orala sie wulela na ku mu, “Lela Leum God Elan sringilyuwi ngan misa nga fin kangla kutena ma meet liki fongeni!”

And all the people assembled to weep for him. And all the people came to cause David to eat bread while it was yet day: and David swore, saying, God do so to me, and more also, if I eat bread or any thing else before the sun goes down.

36 Ke mwet uh elos liye ma inge elos insewowo kac. Aok, ma nukewa tokosra el oru, mwet uh insewowo kac.

And all the people took notice, and all things that the king did before the people were pleasing in their sight.

37 Mwet lal David nukewa ac mwet Israel nukewa kalem kac lah wangin ip lal Tokosra David ke misa lal Abner.

So all the people and all Israel perceived in that day, that it was not of the king to slay Abenner the son of Ner.

38 Ac tokosra el fahk nu sin mwet pwapa lal, “Mea, kowos tia akilen lah sie mwet kol fulat lun Israel el misa misenge?

And the king said to his servants, Know ye not that a great prince is this day fallen in Israel?

39 Nga finne tokosra su sulosolla sin Leum God, tuh nga pulakin munas misenge. Wen ekasr natul Zeruiah inge upala lokoalok lalos in nunak luk. Lela LEUM GOD Elan kalyaelos fal nu ke orekma koluk elos oru inge!”

And that I am this day a [mere] kinsman [of his], and [as it were] a subject; but these men the sons of Saruia are too hard for me: the Lord reward the evil-doer according to his wickedness.
