Bible Mutal (Kosraean)
1Now there was a long war between the house of Saul and the house of David: David prospering and growing always stronger and stronger, but the house of Saul decaying daily.
1Arulana 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.
2And sons were born to David in Hebron: and his firstborn was Amnon of Achinoam the Jezrahelitess:
2Wen onkosr natul David inge takla ke matwalos, elos isusla in acn Hebron: Amnon — nina kial pa Ahinoam, mutan Jezreel;
3And his second Cheleab of Abigail the wife of Nabal of Carmel: and the third Absalom the son of Maacha the daughter of Tholmai king of Gessur:
3Chileab — nina kial pa Abigail, mutan Carmel katinmas kial Nabal; Absalom — nina kial pa Maacah, acn natul Talmai, tokosra lun Geshur;
4And the fourth Adonias, the son of Haggith: and the fifth Saphathia the son of Abital:
4Adonijah — nina kial pa Haggith; Shephatiah — nina kial pa Abital;
5And the sixth Jethraam of Egla the wife of David: these were born to David in Hebron.
5Ithream — nina kial pa Eglah. Wen natul inge kewa isusla in acn Hebron.
6Now while there was war between the house of Saul and the house of David, Abner the son of Ner ruled the house of Saul.
6Ke 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.
7And Saul had a concubine named Respha, the daughter of Aia. And Isboseth said to Abner:
7Sie len ah, Ishbosheth wen natul Saul, el akkolukyal Abner fahk mu el motul yorol Rizpah, mutan kulansap kial Saul, su acn natul Aiah.
8Why didst thou go in to my father’s concubine? And he was exceedingly angry for the words of Isboseth, and said: Am I a dog’s head against Juda this day, who have shewn mercy to the house of Saul thy father, and to his brethren and friends, and have not delivered thee into the hands of David, and hast thou sought this day against me to charge me with a matter concerning a woman?
8Ma 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?
9So do God to Abner, and more also, unless as the Lord hath sworn to David, so I do to him,
9Lela God Elan sringilyuwi ngan misa, nga fin tia akpwayeye ma nga fahk inge: nga fah oru oana wulela lun LEUM GOD nu sel David,
10That the kingdom be translated from the house of Saul, and the throne of David be set up over Israel, and over Juda from Dan to Bersabee.
10in 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!”
11And he could not answer him a word, because he feared him.
11Ishbosheth el arulana sangeng sel Abner, oru el tia ku in fahkla sie kas.
12Abner therefore sent messengers to David for himself, saying: Whose is the land? and that they should say: Make a league with me, and my hand shall be with thee: and I will bring all Israel to thee.
12Abner 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.”
13And he said: Very well: I will make a league with thee: but one thing I require of thee, saying: Thou shalt not see my face before thou bring Michol the daughter of Saul: and so thou shalt come, and see me.
13David 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.”
14And David sent messengers to Isboseth the son of Saul, saying: Restore my wife Michol, whom I espoused to me for a hundred foreskins of the Philistines.
14Ac 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.”
15And Isboseth sent, and took her from her husband Phaltiel, the son of Lais.
15Na Ishbosheth el sap utuku mutan sac lukel Paltiel, mukul tumal, wen natul Laish.
16And her husband followed her, weeping as far as Bahurim: and Abner said to him: Go and return. And he returned.
16Paltiel el fahsr na tung tokol nwe ke siti srisrik Bahurim. Tusruktu ke Abner el sap elan folokla, na Paltiel el folokla.
17Abner also spoke to the ancients of Israel, saying: Both yesterday and the day before you sought for David that he might reign over you.
17Abner el som nu yurin mwet kol lun Israel ac fahk nu selos, “Kowos tuh kena David elan tokosra lowos ke pacl na loes.
18Now then do it: because the Lord hath spoken to David, saying: By the hand of my servant David I will save my people Israel from the hands of the Philistines, and of all their enemies.
18Inge 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.’”
19And Abner spoke also to Benjamin. And he went to speak to David in Hebron all that seemed good to Israel, and to all Benjamin.
19Abner 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.
20And he came to David in Hebron with twenty men: and David made a feast for Abner, and his men that came with him.
20Ke Abner el tuku nu yorol David in acn Hebron wi mwet longoul, David el orala kufwa se nu selos.
21And Abner said to David: I will rise, that I may gather all Israel unto thee my lord the king, and may enter into a league with thee, and that thou mayst reign over all as thy soul desireth. Now when David bad brought Abner on his way, and he was gone in peace,
21Abner 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.
22Immediately David’s servants and Joab came, after having slain the robbers, with an exceeding great booty: and Abner, was not with David in Hebron, for he had now sent him away, and he was gone in peace.
22Tok, 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.
23And Joab and all the army that was with him, came afterwards: and it was told Joab, that Abner the son of Ner came to the king, and he hath sent him away, and he is gone in peace.
23Ke 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.
24And Joab went in to the king, and said: What hast thou done? Behold Abner came to thee: Why didst thou send him away, and he is gone and departed?
24Ouinge 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?
25Knowest thou not Abner the son of Ner, that to this end he came to thee, that he might deceive thee, and to know thy going out, and thy coming in, and to know all thou dost?
25Nga 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!”
26Then Joab going out from David, sent messengers after Abner, and brought him back from the cistern of Sira, David knowing nothing of it.
26Tukun 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.
27And when Abner was returned to Hebron, Joab took him aside to the middle of the gate, to speak to him treacherously: and he stabbed him there in the groin, and he died, in revenge of the blood of Asael his brother.
27Ke 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.
28And when David heard of it, after the thing was now done, he said: I, and my kingdom are innocent before the Lord for ever of the blood of Abner the son of Ner:
28Ke David el lohngak pweng sac, el fahk, “ LEUM GOD El etu lah wangin mwetik ac mwet luk ke misa lal Abner.
29And may it come upon the head of Joab, and upon all his father’s house: and let there not fail from the house of Joab one that hath an issue of seed, or that is a leper, or that holdeth the distaff, or that falleth by the sword, or that wanteth bread.
29Lela 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.”
30So Joab and Abisai his brother slew Abner, because he had killed their brother Asael at Gabaon in the battle.
30Ouinge Joab ac Abishai tamulel lal, eltal foloksak ac unilya Abner ke sripen el tuh unilya Asahel tamulel se laltal, ke mweun in acn Gibeon.
31And David said to Joab, and to all the people that were with him: Rend your garments, and gird yourselves with sackcloths, and mourn before the funeral of Abner. And king David himself followed the bier.
31Na 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.
32And when they had buried Abner in Hebron, king David lifted up his voice, and wept at the grave of Abner: and all the people also wept.
32Abner el pukpuki Hebron, ac tokosra el tung ke pusra lulap ke kulyuk ah, ac mwet nukewa wi pac tung.
33And the king mourning and lamenting over Abner, said: Not as cowards are wont to die, hath Abner died.
33David el onkin on in eoksra soko inge kacl Abner: “Efu ku Abner elan misa oana mwet lalfon se?
34Thy hands were not bound, nor thy feet laden with fetters: but as men fall before the children of iniquity, so didst thou fall. And all the people repeating it wept over him.
34Paol tia kapiri, Ac nial tiana losyukeni. El misa oana misa lun sie mwet anwuki sin mwet koluk!” Na mwet uh sifilpa tung kacl.
35And when all the people came to take meat with David, while it was yet broad day, David swore, saying: So do God to me, and more also, if I taste bread or any thing else before sunset.
35In 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!”
36And all the people heard, and they were pleased, and all that the king did seemed good in the sight of all the people.
36Ke mwet uh elos liye ma inge elos insewowo kac. Aok, ma nukewa tokosra el oru, mwet uh insewowo kac.
37And all the people, and all Israel understood that day that it was not the king’s doing, that Abner the son of Ner was slain.
37Mwet lal David nukewa ac mwet Israel nukewa kalem kac lah wangin ip lal Tokosra David ke misa lal Abner.
38The king also said to his servants: Do you not know that a prince and great man is slain this day in Israel?
38Ac tokosra el fahk nu sin mwet pwapa lal, “Mea, kowos tia akilen lah sie mwet kol fulat lun Israel el misa misenge?
39But I as yet am tender, though anointed king. And these men the sons of Sarvia are too hard for me: the Lord reward him that doth evil according to his wickedness.
39Nga 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!”
