Bible Mutal (Kosraean)
1But David fled from Najoth, which is in Ramatha, and came and said to Jonathan: What have I done? what is my iniquity, and what is my sin against thy father, that he seeketh my life?
1David el kaingla liki acn Naioth in Ramah ac som nu yorol Jonathan. El siyuk sel Jonathan, “Ku mea nga oru? Ma koluk fuka nga orala? Ya oasr ma nga oru in lain papa tomom pwanang el suk elan uniyuwi?”
2And he said to him: God forbid, thou shalt not die: for my father will do nothing great or little, without first telling me: hath then my father hid this word only from me? no, this shall not be.
2Jonathan el topuk ac fahk, “Ac tia ouinge! Kom fah tia misa! Ma nukewa papa tumuk el oru el muta fahk nu sik, ma srisrik nu ke ma yohk, na pa el tia ku in okanla ma se inge likiyu. Tiana ku in ouinge!”
3And he swore again to David. And David said: Thy father certainly knoweth that I have found grace in thy sight, and he will say: Let not Jonathan know this, lest he be grieved. But truly as the Lord liveth, and thy soul liveth, there is but one step (as I may say) between me and death.
3Ac David el fahk, “Papa tomom el etu na lupan lungse lom nu sik, na pa el sulela elan tia fahk nu sum ma el akoo in oru inge, mweyen el etu lah kom ac arulana toasr kac. Nga fulahk nu sum ke Inen LEUM GOD moul lah kutu srisrik na ngan misa!”
4And Jonathan said to David: Whatsoever thy soul shall say to me, I will do for thee.
4Jonathan el fahk, “Kutena ma kom lungse nga in oru, nga ac oru.”
5And David said to Jonathan: Behold tomorrow is the new moon, and I according to custom am wont to sit beside the king to eat: let me go then that I may be hid in the field till the evening of the third day.
5Na David el fahk, “Kufwen Malem Sasu pa ac orek lutu, na ac fal nga in muta yurin tokosra ke pacl in mongo. Tusruktu fin wo sum, nga ac som wikla inimae nwe ke eku in ulela.
6If thy father look and inquire for me, thou shalt answer him: David asked me that he might run to Bethlehem his own city: because there are solemn sacrifices there for all his tribe.
6Papa tomom el fin akilen lah nga wangin ke tepu lal an, kom fah fahk nu sel mu nga tuh kwafe sum nga in sulaklak som nu acn sik uh Bethlehem, mweyen pa inge pacl se sou luk nufon elos orek kisa ke yac se inge.
7If he shall say, It is well: thy servant shall have peace: but if he be angry, know that his malice is come to its height.
7Na el fin fahk mu ‘Wona,’ na wangin ma nga ac fosrnga kac. A el fin kasrkusrak, na kom fah etu na lah oasr ma upa el akoo in oru nu sik.
8Deal mercifully then with thy servant: for thou hast brought me thy servant into a covenant of the Lord with thee. But if there be any iniquity in me, do thou kill me, and bring me not in to thy father.
8Nga siyuk kom in nunak munas ac sruokyana wulela mutal kom tuh oru inmasrlok kom. Tusruktu fin oasr mwetik, na kom sifacna uniyuwi. Mwe mea kom in usyula nu yurin papa tomom in tuh anwuki nga?”
9And Jonathan said: Far be this from thee: for if I should certainly know that evil is determined by my father against thee, I could do no otherwise than tell thee.
9Jonathan el fahk, “Nimet kom nunak ouingan! Nga funu etu na pwaye lah papa tumuk el akoo in oru ma upa nu sum, ya nga ku in tia fahk nu sum?”
10And David answered Jonathan: Who shall bring me word, if thy father should answer thee harshly concerning me?
10Na David el siyuk, “Papa tomom el fin kasrkusrak topuk kom, na su ac fahkma nu sik?”
11And Jonathan said to David: Come and let us go out into the field. And when they were both of them gone out into the field,
11Na Jonathan el fahk, “Fahsru kut som nu inimae.” Na eltal som,
12Jonathan said to David: O Lord God of Israel, if I shall discover my father’s mind, tomorrow or the day after, and there be any thing good for David, and I send not immediately to thee, and make it known to thee,
12ac Jonathan el fahk nu sel David, “Lela tuh LEUM GOD lun Israel Elan orek lou inmasrlosr. Ke pacl se inge lutu, oayapa ulela, nga fah kusen siyuk sin papa tumuk. Nunak lal fin wo keim, na nga a akkalemye nu sum.
13May the Lord do so and so to Jonathan and add still more. But if my father shall continue in malice against thee, I will discover it to thy ear, and will send thee away, that thou mayest go in peace, and the Lord be with thee, as he hath been with my father.
13Tuh el fin nunku in akkolukye kom, lela tuh LEUM GOD Elan uniyuwi nga fin tia akkalemye nu sum tuh kom in ku in kaingla. Lela LEUM GOD Elan wi kom oana ke El tuh welul papa tumuk ah.
14And if I live, thou shalt shew me the kindness of the Lord: but if I die,
14Ac nga fin moul na, kom fah nunak munas sruokya wulela mutal lom nu sik, ac kom in pwayena nu sik. A nga fin misa,
15Thou shalt not take away thy kindness from my house for ever, when the Lord shall have rooted out the enemies of David, every one of them from the earth, may he take away Jonathan from his house, and may the Lord require it at the hands of David’s enemies.
15na kom in akkalemye kulang lom nu sin sou luk nwe tok. Ac LEUM GOD El fin kunausla mwet lokoalok lom nukewa,
16Jonathan therefore made a covenant with the house of David: and the Lord required it at the hands of David’s enemies.
16lela tuh wulela se inmasrloktal in tiana musalla. Fin musalla, LEUM GOD El ac fah kai kom.”
17And Jonathan swore again to David, because he loved him: for he loved him as his own soul.
17Na Jonathan el sifilpa sap David elan wulela mu el ac lungse na el, mweyen Jonathan el lungse na pwaye David oana ke el lungse el sifacna.
18And Jonathan said to him: Tomorrow is the new moon, and thou wilt be missed:
18Ac Jonathan el fahk nu sel David, “Kalem lah kom fin wangin liki tepu in mongo lutu, ac fah akilenyuk, mweyen Kufwen Malem Sasu lutu.
19For thy seat will be empty till after tomorrow. So thou shalt go down quickly, and come to the place, where thou must be hid on the day when it is lawful to work, and thou shalt remain beside the stone, which is called Ezel.
19Ac ulela kom fin wangin pac, ac arulana akilenyuk lah kom wangin. Ke ma inge, wona kom in sifil som wikla acn se na ma kom tuh wikla we meet ah, tukun yol in eot sac.
20And I will shoot three arrows near it, and will shoot as if I were exercising myself at a mark.
20Na nga fah pusrkaot sukan pisr tolkwe nu ke yol in eot sac, in mu nga pisr in akoalel.
21And I will send a boy, saying to him: Go and fetch me the arrows.
21Na nga ac supwaot sie mwet kulansap luk in fahsrot suk. Nga fin fahk nu sel, ‘Liye, sukan pisr uh oan layenu liki kom. Fahla use,’ kalmac pa ma nukewa wo, ac kom ku in ilme. Nga fulahk ke LEUM GOD moul lah wangin mwe fosrnga nu sum.
22If I shall say to the boy: Behold the arrows are on this side of thee, take them up: come thou to me, because, there is peace to thee, and there is no evil, as the Lord liveth. But if I shall speak thus to the boy: Behold the arrows are beyond thee: go in peace, for the Lord hath sent thee away.
22A nga fin fahk nu sin mwet kulansap luk mu, ‘Sukan pisr uh oan layeno liki kom,’ na kom fah kaing, mweyen LEUM GOD pa supwekom inge.
23And concerning the word which I and thou have spoken, the Lord be between thee and me for ever.
23Ac nu ke wulela se kital orala inmasrloktal uh, LEUM GOD El ac fah oru tuh in oan ma pahtpat.”
24So David was hid in the field, and the new moon came, and the king sat down to eat bread.
24Na David el som wikla inimae. Ke pacl in Kufwen Malem Sasu, Tokosra Saul el tuku nu ke tepu uh
25And when the king sat down upon his chair (according to custom) which was beside the wall, Jonathan arose, and Abner sat by Saul’s side, and David’s place appeared empty.
25ac el muta ke nien muta lal sisken pesinka uh. Abner el muta siskal, ac Jonathan el muta ke la tepu uh ngetang nu yoroltal. Acn in muta lal David uh oalalla.
26And Saul said nothing that day, for he thought it might have happened to him, that he was not clean, nor purified.
26Wangin ma Saul el fahk kac ke len sac, mweyen el nunku mu sahp oasr sripa se sikyak ac David el tia nasnas fal nu ke alu lalos.
27And when the second day after the new moon was come, David’s place appeared empty again. And Saul said to Jonathan his son: Why cometh not the son of Isai to meat neither yesterday nor today?
27Ke len se akluo ah, len se tukun Kufwen Malem Sasu, nien muta lal David ke tepu uh srakna oalal, ac Saul el siyuk sel Jonathan, “Efu ku David el tia tuku nu ke tepu uh ekea, sifilpa misenge?”
28And Jonathan answered Saul: He asked leave of me earnestly to go to Bethlehem,
28Jonathan el topuk ac fahk, “El tuh kwafe sik ngan fuhlella elan som nu Bethlehem.
29And he said: Let me go, for there is a solemn sacrifice in the city, one of my brethren hath sent for me: and now if I have found favour in thy eyes, I will go quickly, and see my brethren. For this cause he came not to the king’s table.
29El fahk ouinge nu sik, ‘Nunak munas filiyula ngan som, tuh sou luk elos orek kisa ke acn sesr uh, ac tamulel luk el sap nga in som welulos. Na pa kom fin mwet kawuk luk, filiyula nga in som nu yurin sou luk.’ Pa inge sripa se sis el wangin liki nien mutal lal ke tepu lun tokosra.”
30Then Saul being angry against Jonathan said to him: Thou son of a woman that is the ravisher of a man, do I not know that thou lovest the son of Isai to thy own confusion and to the confusion of thy shameless mother?
30Saul el foloyak sel Jonathan ac fahk nu sel, “Kom wen nutin sie mutan likkeke ac seakos! Inge nga etu na lah kom welul David lac, ac kom sifacna akmwekinye kom ac nina kiom ah!
31For as long as the son of Isai liveth upon earth, thou shalt not be established, nor thy kingdom. Therefore now presently send, and fetch him to me: for he is the son of death.
31Mea, kom nikin lah ke lusenna moul lal David, kom ac tia ku in tokosra fin facl se inge? Fahla ingena ac usalu. El enenu na elan misa!”
32And Jonathan answering Saul his father, said: Why shall he die: what hath he done?
32Ac Jonathan el siyuk, “Ku efu ku elan misa? Mea el orala?”
33And Saul caught up a spear to strike him. And Jonathan understood that it was determined by his father to kill David.
33Na Saul el kipakin osra natul ah nu kacl Jonathan in unilya, ac Jonathan el fah kalem lah Saul el nunku na pwaye elan unilya David.
34So Jonathan rose from the table in great anger, and did not eat bread on the second day after the new moon. For he was grieved for David, because his father had put him to confusion.
34Ac Jonathan el kasrkusrak ac tuyak liki tepu ah, ac el tia mongo in len sac nufon — len se akluo ke Kufwen Malem Sasu. El arulana asor kacl David ke sripen Saul el fahk kas na upa kacl.
35And when the morning came, Jonathan went into the field, according to the appointment with David, and a little boy with him.
35Lotutang in len tok ah, Jonathan el som nu inimae in sonol David, in oana ma eltal tuh aetuila kac. El us tulik mukul fusr se welul,
36And he said to his boy: Go, and fetch me the arrows which I shoot. And when the boy ran, he shot another arrow beyond the boy.
36na el fahk nu sel, “Yuwot ac suk sukan pisr nga ac pusrkaot inge.” Tulik sac kasrusr yula, ac Jonathan el pusrkala pisr soko ah alukela tulik sac.
37The boy therefore came to the place of the arrow which Jonathan had shot: and Jonathan cried after the boy, and said: Behold the arrow is there further beyond thee.
37Ke tulik sac sun acn se ma sukan pisr soko ah putati we ah, Jonathan el wowo nu sin tulik sac ac fahk, “Sukan pisr soko ah pa oemeeto!
38And Jonathan cried again after the boy, saying: Make haste speedily, stand not. And Jonathan’s boy gathered up the arrows, and brought them to his master:
38Nimet tu na insacn! Sulaklak!” Tulik sac el srukak sukan pisr soko ah, ac el use nu yurin mwet kacto lal.
39And he knew not at all what was doing: for only Jonathan and David knew the matter.
39Tulik sac tiana etu lah mea kalmen ma inge. Jonathan ac David mukena pa kalem kac uh.
40Jonathan therefore gave his arms to the boy, and said to him: Go, and carry them into the city.
40Na Jonathan el sang kufwen mwe pisr natul nu sin tulik sac, ac sap elan us som nu in siti uh.
41And when the boy was gone, David rose out of his place, which was towards the south, and falling on his face to the ground, adored thrice: and kissing one another, they wept together, but David more.
41Tukun tulik sac som, David el tuyak liki yol in eot se el wikwik we, ac el sikukmutunte ac faksufi pacl tolu. Na el Jonathan tukeni tung ac angokmwet sie sin sie, ac asor lal David tuh yohk liki asor lal Jonathan.
42And Jonathan said to David: Go in peace: and let all stand that we have sworn both of us in the name of the Lord, saying: The Lord be between me and thee, and between my seed and thy seed for ever.
42Ac Jonathan el fahk nu sel David, “God Elan wi kom. LEUM GOD El ac fah oru tuh kom ac fwil nutum, oayapa nga ac fwil nutik, in sruokyana wulela mutal se su nga kom orala inmasrloktal tuh in oan ma pahtpat.” Na David el som, ac Jonathan el folok nu in siti uh.
43And David arose, and departed: and Jonathan went into the city.
