Bible Mutal (Kosraean)
1The LORD sent Nathan to David. He came to him, and said to him, “There were two men in one city: the one rich, and the other poor.
1LEUM GOD El supwalla mwet palu Nathan nu yorol David. Na Nathan el som ac fahk nu sel, “Oasr mwet luo muta in siti sefanna. Sie seltal kasrup, a ma se ngia sukasrup.
2The rich man had very many flocks and herds,
2Mwet se ma kasrup ah, pukanten sheep ac cow natul,
3but the poor man had nothing, except one little ewe lamb, which he had bought and raised. It grew up together with him and with his children. It ate of his own food, drank of his own cup, and lay in his bosom, and was like a daughter to him.
3a mwet se ma sukasrup ah, sheep fusr sokofanna natul, ma el tuh molela. El karinganang sheep fusr soko ah in lohm sel sifacna, ac el wi na tulik natul ah kapak. Mukul sac el kital ke mongo nal sifacna, ac sang el nimnim ke cup na lal, ac el muta sruokol finyepal. El oakoaki sheep fusr soko ah oana in tulik mutan se natul.
4A traveler came to the rich man, and he didn’t want to take of his own flock and of his own herd to prepare for the wayfaring man who had come to him, but took the poor man’s lamb and prepared it for the man who had come to him.”
4Sie len ah mwet fufahsryesr se tuku nu in lohm sin mwet kasrup sac. Na mwet kasrup sac tia lungse uniya soko sin kosro natul ah in orala sie mongo ah nal, a el usla sheep fusr soko nutin mwet sukasrup sac ac sang orala mongo se nu sin mwet mutwata se lal ah.”
5David’s anger burned hot against the man, and he said to Nathan, “As the LORD lives, the man who has done this deserves to die!
5David el arulana kasrkusrak sin mwet kasrup sac, ac fahk, “Nga fulahk Inen LEUM GOD moul, lah fal na mwet se ma orala ma se inge in misa!
6He must restore the lamb fourfold, because he did this thing and because he had no pity!”
6Ke sripen lumah na sulallal se el oru ingan, el enenu na elan akfalye molin ma el eisla pacl akosr yohk liki!”
7Nathan said to David, “You are the man! This is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: ‘I anointed you king over Israel, and I delivered you out of the hand of Saul.
7Nathan el fahk nu sel David, “Kom pa mwet sac! Na pa inge ma LEUM GOD lun Israel El fahk: ‘Nga oru tuh kom in tokosra lun Israel, ac nga molikomla lukel Saul.
8I gave you your master’s house and your master’s wives into your bosom, and gave you the house of Israel and of Judah; and if that would have been too little, I would have added to you many more such things.
8Nga sot tokosrai lal ac mutan kial nu sum, ac nga oru tuh kom in tokosra lun Israel ac Judah. Funu sufalla ma inge, nga lukun sot pacl luo yohk liki na.
9Why have you despised the LORD’s word, to do that which is evil in his sight? You have struck Uriah the Hittite with the sword, have taken his wife to be your wife, and have slain him with the sword of the children of Ammon.
9Na efu kom ku seakos ma nga sapkin uh? Efu kom ku oru ma koluk se inge? Kom oru Uriah elan anwuki ke mweun ah — kom lela tuh mwet Ammon ah in unilya, na kom eisla mutan kial ah!
10Now therefore the sword will never depart from your house, because you have despised me and have taken Uriah the Hittite’s wife to be your wife.’
10Inge, in fwil nukewa tok uh, kutu sin tulik nutum uh ac fah misa ke ouiyen misa na keok mweyen kom tuh seakosyu ac eisla mutan kial Uriah ah.
11“This is what the LORD says: ‘Behold, I will raise up evil against you out of your own house; and I will take your wives before your eyes and give them to your neighbor, and he will lie with your wives in the sight of this sun.
11Nga fulahk nu sum lah nga ac oru tuh sie mwet in sou lom sifacna in pwanma mwe tukulkul nu fom. Kom ac fah liye ke nga ac eisla mutan kiom an ac sang nu sin sie pacna mukul, ac el ac fah oan yorolos ye mutun mwet uh.
12For you did this secretly, but I will do this thing before all Israel, and before the sun.’”
12Kom tuh oru ma koluk yen lukma, a nga ac fah oru tuh ma inge in sikyak yen na kalem, tuh mwet Israel nukewa in liye.’”
13David said to Nathan, “I have sinned against the LORD.” Nathan said to David, “The LORD also has put away your sin. You will not die.
13David el fahk, “Nga orekma koluk lain LEUM GOD .” Ac Nathan el fahk, “ LEUM GOD El nunak munas nu sum. Kom ac tia misa.
14However, because by this deed you have given great occasion to the LORD’s enemies to blaspheme, the child also who is born to you will surely die.”
14Tusruktu, ke sripen kom tuh arulana pilesru LEUM GOD ac oru ma inge uh, tulik se nutum inge ac misa.”
15Then Nathan departed to his house. The LORD struck the child that Uriah’s wife bore to David, and he was very sick.
15Na Nathan el som nu lohm sel ah. LEUM GOD El oru tuh tulik se mutan kial Uriah ah oswela nu sel David in arulana mas.
16David therefore begged God for the child; and David fasted, and went in and lay all night on the ground.
16David el pre nu sin God tulik sac in kwela. El tiana lungse mongo, ac fong nukewa el ac utyak nu infukil sel ac motullana in fohk uh.
17The elders of his house arose beside him, to raise him up from the earth; but he would not, and he didn’t eat bread with them.
17Mwet pwapa fulat lal ac som nu yorol ac srike in oru elan tukakek tuh el srangesr, ac el tia pac lungse mongo yorolos.
18On the seventh day, the child died. David’s servants were afraid to tell him that the child was dead, for they said, “Behold, while the child was yet alive, we spoke to him and he didn’t listen to our voice. How will he then harm himself if we tell him that the child is dead?”
18Wik se tok ah tulik sac misa, ac mwet pwapa lal ah sangeng in fahk nu sel. Elos mu, “Ke pacl se tulik sac srakna moul, David el tia lungse topuk kut ke kut kaskas nu sel uh. Kut ac fahk fuka lah tulik se natul ah misa? Kut sensen el ac oru sie ma upa nu sel sifacna!”
19But when David saw that his servants were whispering together, David perceived that the child was dead; and David said to his servants, “Is the child dead?” They said, “He is dead.”
19Ke David el liye lah elos mahma nu sin sie sin sie, el akilen lah tulik sac misa. Na el siyuk selos, “Ku tulik sac misa?” Ac elos fahk, “Aok, el misa.”
20Then David arose from the earth, and washed and anointed himself, and changed his clothing; and he came into the LORD’s house, and worshiped. Then he came to his own house; and when he requested, they set bread before him and he ate.
20David el tukakek liki infohk uh, ac el yihla, ayaolla, ac kawia sifal. Na el som nu in lohm sin LEUM GOD ac alu. Ke el folokla nu lohm sel ah, el siyukyuk mongo, ac pacl se na itukyang nu sel el mutawauk mongo.
21Then his servants said to him, “What is this that you have done? You fasted and wept for the child while he was alive, but when the child was dead, you rose up and ate bread.”
21Mwet pwapa lal ah fahk nu sel, “Kut tiana kalem ke ma kom oru inge. Ke tulik sac srakna moul ah, kom tung kacl ac srunga mongo. Na inge el tufahna misa a kom tukakek ac mongo!”
22He said, “While the child was yet alive, I fasted and wept; for I said, ‘Who knows whether the LORD will not be gracious to me, that the child may live?’
22David el topuk ac fahk, “Aok, nga tuh lalo ac tung ke tulik sac srakna moul. Nga tuh nunku mu sahp LEUM GOD El ac pakoten nu sik, ac tia lela tulik sac in misa.
23But now he is dead. Why should I fast? Can I bring him back again? I will go to him, but he will not return to me.”
23A inge, ke el misa tari, efu ku ngan lalo? Ya nga ku in folokonma tulik sac elan moulyak? Sie len nga ac fah som nu yen el oasr we, tuh el tia ku in foloko nu yuruk.”
24David comforted Bathsheba his wife, and went in to her, and lay with her. She bore a son, and he called his name Solomon. The LORD loved him;
24Na David el akpwaryal Bathsheba, mutan kial, ac el oan yorol, na mutan sac el oswela sie wen, ac David el sang inel Solomon. LEUM GOD El lungse tulik mukul sac,
25and he sent by the hand of Nathan the prophet, and he named him Jedidiah, for the LORD’s sake.
25ac El sapkin nu sel Nathan, mwet palu, elan sang inen tulik mukul sac Jedidiah, mweyen LEUM GOD El lungse el.
26Now Joab fought against Rabbah of the children of Ammon, and took the royal city.
26In pacl se inge Joab el srakna mweun lain acn Rabbah, su siti fulat lun acn Ammon, ac el apkuran in sruokya.
27Joab sent messengers to David, and said, “I have fought against Rabbah. Yes, I have taken the city of waters.
27El supwala mwet utuk kas in tuh fahk nu sel David, “Nga utyak ac mweuni acn Rabbah, ac nga sruokya tari acn se kof lalos ah tuku we me.
28Now therefore gather the rest of the people together, and encamp against the city and take it; lest I take the city, and it be called by my name.”
28Inge kom orani mwet mweun lula lom an, ac fahsru nu Rabbah, kom in sifacna sruokya siti uh. Nga tia lungse in fwack mu nga pa eisla uh.”
29David gathered all the people together and went to Rabbah, and fought against it and took it.
29Ouinge David el orani mwet mweun lal ac som nu Rabbah. El mweuni acn we ac kutangla.
30He took the crown of their king from off his head; and its weight was a talent of gold, and in it were precious stones; and it was set on David’s head. He brought a great quantity of plunder out of the city.
30David el eisla tefuro gold se liki sifen ma sruloala se pangpang Molech, god lun mwet Ammon. Toasriyen tefuro sac akuran paun itngoul limekosr. Oasr sie eot saok kac, su David el eisla sang nu ke tefuro lal sifacna. El oayapa usla ma wap pukanten liki siti sac.
31He brought out the people who were in it, and put them to work under saws, under iron picks, under axes of iron, and made them go to the brick kiln; and he did so to all the cities of the children of Ammon. Then David and all the people returned to Jerusalem.
31El sap mwet we ah in fahsr orekma ke tahta, ac mwe pukpuk osra, oayapa tuhla osra, ac el akkohsyelos in orek brick. El oayapa oru lumah se inge nu sin mwet in siti srisrik nukewa in acn Ammon. Na el, ac mwet lal ah, folokla nu Jerusalem.
